Boy in Holiday Crowd
Is Seized as Shoplifter
Department Store Detective De?
clares He Caught 9-Year-OJd
Tucking Away Petticoat
The youngest person taken into cus?
tody as a shoplifter this holiday season
' was arrested in Gimbel's department
store last night. He is Antonio Cas
? teilano, nine years old, of 428 West
, Forty-first Street.
The complainant is Howard Broad,
; store detective, who alleges that he saw
i the boy take a petticoat and stuff it
: under his coat. According to the de?
tective, he frequently has seen An
i tonio in the store. Two days ago, he
I alleges, he caught the boy attempting
to steal a pair of stockings. He said
that at that time, in addition to rep?
rimanding the lad, he warned Antonio's
father to keep the child at. home.
Antonio was turned over to the
Children's Society and will be- ar
raigned to-day.
Woman Shot When She
Reprimands Card Player
Neighbor, Who Was Host, In?
sists Man Who Fir?ed Was
Unbidden Stranger
i Mrs. Fannie Castaluca, thirty-three
; years old, was shot and, it is believed,
i mortally wounded last night at the
; door of her apartment on the top floor
? of 224 East 107th Street by an uniden
! titied man, who escaped.
According to a statement made by
Peter Cassaro, who rents the apart
' ment opposite that of Mrs. Castaluca,
he was entertaining seven men at a
card party in his home when a stran?
ger entered and insisted on joining in
the game. When asked to leave he be
j came quarrelsome and a noisy alterca
; tion arose, which caused Mrs. Casta
; luca to emerge from her door opposite
j in remonstrance.
When the woman appeared the stran?
ger tired one shot, striking Mrs. Casta
| luca in the left breast, after which he
ran down the stairs and disappeared.
At Reception Hospital, where the
wounded woman was taken, it was said
last night that her chance of recovery
was slight. ?Mrs. Castaluca is the
mother of three young children.

on m all us phases," sa I M
Then he issued the following
statemi
"Th.le tioi of sacramental winr
religious purposes has been
a greal deal of thought by the
tl Prohibition Director. H is one
fificult problems m the
administration of the law. As Mr.
ys, designing men are in
. with impunity in violations of
nth Amendment and the
provisions of the Volstead law.'
"The great divergence in the prac
if the various schools of n tigiou
thought makes a general regulation
more difficult. One Jewish branch does
acramental wine in its serv?
il i even among: the orthodox
there a?-e a very large number v.
n?nted wine made of rai
grapes.
"The best thought of the Jewish
i;? rs i - now engaged in I
at ? .- n c ? ?? mendal ions to be
tf(\ to the commissioner through this
7 it is !u-p."i will result in
regulations which will prevent the
rawal of wine for sacramental
purposes by those not entitled to do
so, but, pending any revision o? the
regulations, this office has decided to
accept the recomnitndations of four
chief rabbis who are entitled to with?
draw wine tor sacramental purposes."
It was emphatically declared that no
irregularities had been found or
charged within the Roman Catholic
faith. The opinion was expressed that
among the Protestant faiths not one
would remain, within a short time,
which used any but unfermented grape
juice for sacramental purposes.
"The use of wine is not compulsory
in any service of the Jewish faith, anil
I have so informed Mr. Day," said
Joseph Silverman last night.
"While it is customary for many to
use wine in connection with the Pass
ovet and other services, they do so vol?
untarily, as this is not a lav.- of the
Church. Unfermented wine may be
used, and is by a larrro number.
"The term 'sacramental wine' is a
presentation, and I cannot em?
phasize this too strongly. The absurd?
ity of the term may be seer, easily
when it is considered that there is no
sacrament in the Jewish, church service.
"I felt at the outset that the privi?
lege of using fermented wine should
not have been extended to our Church,
and I am still of that opinion. The
humbug resorted to in. order to got
wine should be stopped."

Nassau, Bahamas.
i Mr. McGurk said he discovered on
reaching Miami that attorneys re

i to fight the case to the highest courts
r.nd had filed an appeal from the extra

i
i'nssvfoot' Johnson
Prohibition Leader Declares
World Will Be Liquor less
in 1950; Tells of Suecess
in Asiatic Pilgrimage
William E. ("Pussyfoot") Johnson,
prohibition missionary, returned from
Europe yesterday on the White Star
liner Adriatic, which docked at noon.
For four months he has been touring
Il lia, where he visited thirty-live
cities and made 400 dry addresses. Tie
toi I of being dined and offered wine
in India and waxed reminiscent and
told of his last drink of whisky, taken
fifteen years ago, when he was a gov
| ernment detective.
India, he said, is now- the dryest
: country in the world outside of the
United States and is getting dryer.
He was greeted there, he said, by
parades of from twelve to forty ele
' phants and thousands of natives, who
showered him with roses and hung
! floral wreaths about his neck until
he could not see and could hardly
; breathe.
"I was given a dry dinner by Lord
Reading," said "Pussyfoot," ''Lord
: Reading is very cheerful, talks straight,
like an American, and he has great
hopes of the future. That was at
Simla. Another dinner tendered me
by Sir Edward McLagen was not dry. It
was wet. Naturally, I did not drink.
"Did you ever take a drink?" he was
a >ked.
"Oh, yes."
"When did you have vour last
drink?"
"Fifteen years ago. It was while I
i was employed by the government. It
was necessary for me to take the drink.
I had detective work to do. I drank
occasionally up to fifteen years ago,
? and in those days I might say I liked
: it. T was never intoxicated.
"I go from here on a nine weeks'
: lecture tour through the Southern
states. When I left here I first visited
Denmark. They still drink whisky over
?here, but there are 235 parishes in
Denmark that have gone dry by local
option. I believe the world will be dry
by L960. Yes, I have said that before.
"My next pilgrimage ?vill be to New
: Zealand," he added. "They are as'king
for rne over there and I am told in the
coming elections New Zealand will vote

Daugherty Offers Moral
Advice for Christmas
_
Attorney General Says He's Had
More Given Him Than He
Needs, Mostly Bat?
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-?Enough ad?
vice, most of it bad, had been offered
?-ttornev General Daugherty since he
assumed office, he said to-night in a
Christmas greeting to the public, to
last him "until the end of my term,
whether it be long or short."
Mr. Daugherty's statement contained
! injunctions which, he said, were "stated
for the consideration of all who may
! read, regardless of their station in
life." Several of them follow:
"If a man does the right thing he
will have the help and approval of
. these who know him, and if he does not
| do the right thing he does not deserve
! it."
"The world never turns against a
man until after he has turned against
the world, and it is never too late to
?wake up."'
"A mar. owes society, his country and
the world more than it owes him and
more than he can ever pay."
"If one has self-respect Le will not
go i'ar wrong."
"To all mankind," Mr. Daugherty
concluded, "I wish a happy healthful
?nd hopeful Christmas time. Let us
hold up our heads and be of good
! cheer. Let us love God and be grateful.
Let us obey the law3 of our country and
let us obey the Ten Commandments."

i Calder to Win Easily
Next Time, Says Kracke
F. J. H. Kracke, of Brooklyn, Apprais
, er of the Port of New York, following
j a conference yesterday at the National
; Republican Club with Senator Charles
? C. Lockwood, Representative Charles
j G. Bond and other Brooklyn RepUbli
! cans, said that United States Senator
i William M. Calder so f_r as he could
; see, would have no opposition in the
| Republican State Convention next year.?
"He not only will be renominated
i without a considerable degree of oppo
. sition, but he will beat any one th?
I Democrats see fit to run against him,"
I said Mr. Kracke. "There w-s talk at
one time about James R. Sheffield or
Representative Ogden L. Mills as con
. tenders for the nomination in the state
convention, but the latest information
thai I have about it is that neither of
! those gentlemen is going to be a candi
! date. As to opposition in his own
borough of Brooklyn, I have reason to
? believe that the Brooklyn delegates in
'. the state convention will present a
solid front for the Senator."
The state Democratic leaders have
j discovered that many of the rank and
: file of their organization are under
\ obligation to Senator Calder for attend
, ing to their wants, and that he will
make inroads upon them in the general
; election next fall. A prominent mem?
ber of Tammany Hall sa.d yesterday:
"Calder never makes any distinction
between a Republican or a Democrat
when it conies to attending to his
wants at Washington. There are lit?
erally thousands of Democrats who
'. would vote for him as against any
Democrat."

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.?Late devel?

Forty-one Votes Against Senator
The Republican Senators who hav
I been conferring this week on th? New
! berry case, and who have stated thei
| position to Senator Curtis, include Sen
; ators Capper, of Kansas; Willis, o
| Ohio; Jones, of Washington; McNarj
of Oregon: Sterling, of South Dakota
and Sutherland, of West Virginia. The
; have wired Senator Johnson, of Cal:
: fornia. advising him of their cours?
I but have not been advised in turn wha
, position he will take. Senator Curti
; is expetced to lay the situation befor
i Mr. Newberry, but has not yet ir
formed the trroup of Senators referre
; to what Mr. Newberry will do.
The Republican Senators who ar
fully committed against Senator Nevi
berry include Borah, La Follette, Ker
yon. Norris, Norbeck and Ladd. Fiv
or six other Republicans are waverin
and may turn against him. The Derac
crats. of whom there are thirty-six i
the Senate, will all vote against bin
except Senator Watson, of Georgia.
In other words, there are forcy-on
vetes against Senator Newberry cei
tain, and the turn of events, whereby
group of half a dozen Republicans hav
practically called on him to defen
himself in the open, places his seat i
great jeopardy.
While it takes two-thirds of the Ser
ate to expel a member, a simple majo:
it.y, or forty-nine, can adopt a resoh
tion holding he is not lawfully electe?
Hinted He May Resign
The Senators who are insisting c
Mr. Newberry making a defense on tl
floor say they will meet with criticis
in their states if they support Senate
Newberry, and they do not think the
should be expected to .'ote for him ui
less he is willing to make a statemei
in public on his own behalf. He d:
not appear before the Senate sub-con
mittee which investigated the case ar
he has not defended himself in tl
Senate. In preceding cases, such i
the Lorimer case, from Illinois, Se:
| ators against whom there have been a
tacks have made pleas in their own d
fense. Whether Senator Newberry wi
choose to take the floor is uncertain.
Strong efforts have been made by R

K, of Ca Get Christmas
Greetings From Pope
Pope Benedict's Christmas
greeting to the Knights of Colum?
bus was received at the headquar?
ters of that organization yester?
day. It reads:
"The extensive Christmastide
charity of the Knights of Colum?
bus is typically American and
worthy of all commendation. We
view with the utmost satisfaction
the decision of the Knights of
Columbus to do welfare work in
Italy. May the blessings of the
season rest bountifully upon the
generous American pcopl?s."

the Administration to prevent Senator
Newberry from being ousted. Senator
Kenyon recently charged on the floor
that the "social bloc" in Washington
was working for the Michigan Senator. ,
One of the possibilities in the case, ac?
cording to talk in Michigan political j
circles, is that Senator Newberry may j
resign.
If Senator Newberry leaves the Sen?
ate it will not mean the seating of
Henry Ford. A vacancy will exist from
Michigan, which will be filled tempo?
rarily by appointment and then by
election.
Army Stands for Peace,
Pershing's Yule Message
General Urges Soldier!* I o Up
ho!d Glorious Traditions,
Even Though Not at War
Army publications and general or?
ders received at Governor's Island
yesterday contain this Christmas
message from General John J.
Pershing:
'*To the Army of the United States:
"Whether in peace or war, it is the
privilege ar.d the duty of the soidier
to uphold the glorious traditions of
the past. During these times of un?
certainty and difficulty, whether in or
out of the army, the soldier must con?
fidently and courageously do his part
to hasten an era of understanding and
peace. Our army stands for peace on
earth, to men good will."
Crowds Depart for Holiday
More than 110,000 passengers went
through the Grand Central Terminal
yesterday, making one of the busiest
days of the year for employees. The
biggest day the terminal had this year
was July i. when the number of pas?
sengers going through was 136,561.
There was no confusion, adequate ar?
rangements having beeri made to
handle the holiday traffic. Fourteen
track men helped handle mail, and
other points where the burden fell
heaviest were reinforced also.
Conditions were about the same as
last year, with the exception that Pull?
man travel was heavier. On December
23, 1920, eighty-six extra Pullman cars
were needed by the New York Centra!
Railroad. Yesterday the railroad had
to use 135.
Fifteen extra trains entered the
terminal yesterday, aggregating 135
cars. There were fifteen extra out?
bound trains, with 150 cars.
Christmas Turkeys Cos??y
Retailers were asking as high as 68
cents a pound yesterday for fresh
turkeys. In the Washington Market
dealers were asking ?35 cents for choice
turkeys and 55 to CO cents for other
grades.
The surplus of live turkeys is so
large, according to State Farm reports,
that two carloads remained unloaded
on the tracks in New Jersey- yesterday.
The supply which wholesale dealers
had on hand was such as to make the
market irregular. In some cases fancy
Western turkeys sold at 45 cents per
pound. Fancy nearby and Maryland
turkeys sold wholesale mostly at 53 to
56 cents per pound.
Dressed geese at wholesale were 32
to 38 cents for good fat stock, and
these were selling retail at 42 to 45
cents.
