PORTER'S TRIAL
ENDS ABRUPTLY;
TO'JURYTODAY
"Wife Clinches Alibi and
Prosecution Rests With
out Cross-Examination.
WALDO IS A WITNESS
Arguments to Begin This
Morning Case of Inspector
Henry Next on List.
An alll). perfect from the stand
point of the defence, was established
yesterday for Col. Augustus Drum
Tortcr by the" testimony of his -wife;
,of his friend, Bernard Lowenthal, and
' of David Coyne, superintendent of the
jnpartment house where tho Porters
live. Each recital precisely agreed j and Mrs. Porter left tho stand.
Willi me uuicra anu wiui uiui ui
vembar 12?" the prosecutor asked. Low
enthal, who had explained that-the call
of November 1! had to do with a busi
ness matter, answered:
"I had a very particular reason for
remembering; this visit."
Then came Mrs. Porter to the stand.
She Is a native of New York and. was
Miss Ella De Ruyter before her mar
riage fourteen years ago. She said' she
had been coins to Morrlstown, N. J.. In
the summer for twenty years, as she did
last summer, and that CoL Porter left
the city on Saturday and spent Sunday
with her. She alto spent some time last
year In Greenwich, Conn., and Atlantic
City, returning; to their city home for
two weeks In August, She clearly re
called that she came bacl: for the winter
on November 11. because she had hesi
tated in view of the fast that it might
be a holiday and the stores closed. She
told of dining with her nusbsnd at the
Cafe Bon Heur on that evening, and of
his later helping Coyne with the trunks
anu or Lowenthal a appearance.
Character Witnesses Heard.
"Mr. Lowenthal enme In on the eve
ning of November 12 about 10 o'clock,"
she testified. "Ho went Into the back
room with Col. Porter. I said 'How do
you do?" and withdrew. Col. Porter left
Mr. Lowenthal in the'-back room while
he went to carry the trunks, then he
went back and Joined Mr. Lowenthal."
Answering another question the wit
ness said she was awake when Lowen
thal left and tho time was about 12
o'clock. She was putting away some
things from tho trunks, and Col. Por
ter, after bidding Lowenthal good night,
came in to help her. Tho questions and
answers already quoted then followed,

When Mrs. Porter left the stand
the defenco, represented by Martin W.
Littleton, rested. Itather unexpected
ly,' without offerinK any rebuttal, As
sistant District Attorney Smith rested
for the State.
Each lawyer expects to devote an
hour to summing up this morning.
Judge Malone will then deliver his
chnrge, and tho case should be in the
hands of the Jury this afternoon.
Tho trial of Inspector Dominick
Henry, who also Is charged with
neglect of duty, will begin in tho same
courtroom of General Sessions as soon
as the Porter trial is finished.
The nppearanco of Mrs. Porter gave
the trial of her husband Its most dra
matic moments. Upon what she would
say depended tho clinching of the
alibi. Coyne, tho superintendent, had
sworn that he saw Col. Porter in the
apartment house, and in and about
tho Porter apartment up to about 10
o'clock on tho night of November 12
last. This was not conclusive, for
the story of the policemen who ac
cuse the former Third Deputy Com
missioner waa that they surprised him
nnd a woman In a West Ninety-sixth
street flat at about 11 o'clock.
When Coyne was excused the ques
tion still remained: Were there other
witnesses who had knowledge that
Col. Porter did not leavo his home
after 10 o'clock?
Sim. Porter 1 Positive.
The cross-examination of Col. Porter
took place yesterday morning and was
interrupted by the appearance of his
character witnesses. They were Her
man A. Metz, ex-Controller of the city
and cx-Itcprcsentatlve ; Rhlnclander
Waldo, ex-Polico Commissioner; Fred
crick Kcrnochan, chief Justice of Spe
cial Sessions; Magistrate Joseph Corri
gan, and Sol Bloom, real estate dealer,
of 1451 Broadway, All pronounced Col.
Porter's reputation for veracity and
honorable dealing1 to bo of the highest.
Col, Porter eald he was C5 years
old and was born in Sulzberg, Pa. The
Prosecutor found out by hammering in
terrogation that while CoL Porter was
with a moving picture Arm at 220 West
Fifty-second street, from April 19U,
to July. 1515. his salary was $10 a
week and tho rent of his apartment
$2,400 a year. Later he was president
of a corporation which operated a res
taurant at 145 West Forty-fifth street,
but It did not ray and was closed in
May, 1918.
In addition tto his former duties In
the Police Department he was secretary
of the Police Club, at 145 Hlvcrslde
Drive. He said that In May or June.
1919, Commissioner Knrlght relieved
him of supervision over matters relating
to gambling. Smith then questioned
him about May Owens and Grace Buck
ley, who In 191S were dancing instruc
tors at the Grand Central Palace.
'.'Didn't you visit them In their apart
ment on May 12, 1919." Smith queried.
"I have no recollection of visiting
them."
"How long have you known May
Owens?"
"I should say four or five years."
"You saw her quite often, didn't you
"No."

Owner of "Greatest Show"
Now of Three Generations.
The Itlngling family, owners of "the
greatest show on earth," are now In
the third generation, so far as their
circus connection and celebrity In con
nection with the circus are concerned.
A son was born yesterday to Mr. and
Mrs. Blchard Itlngling in the Women's
Hospital.
Blchard Itlngling Is the son of Alfred
T. Itlngling, who died last winter after
41 sudden Illness, and Is tho nephew of
John and Charles RIngllng. With his
uncles Richard RIngllng owns RIngllng
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's com- j
blned circuses, Richard's father having '
left him n one-third interest. I
Tno rise of the family in the circus 1
field In a comparatively brief period Is
one of the romances of American busi
ness enterprise, for It is only a few
years ago that the Bcven RIngllng
brothers In Baraboo, Wis.; conceived
the ambition to control the circus busi
ness In America. They accomplished '
he ambition, but death took four of tho

David Coyne, superintendent of the
apartment house at 57 West Forty-eighth
street, was the first nltbl witness. He
remembered that November 11 was tho
day of Mrs. Porter s return from a sum
mer ou. of town because It was the'un-
nlversary of Armistice Day nnd some of
his helpers were off. On the following
evening toi. i-orter telephoned to him
between 8:30 and 8:43, saying that Mrs.
Porter's two trunks had not been de
livered. Coyne .-aid he gave up his In
tention of going to a movie theatre and
hunted up the trunks, finding them on
the eleventh floor and taking them to
the ninth floor, on which lived the Por
ters. Col. Porter helped carry them to
his wife's room and Coyne departed be
tween 9:30 and 9:45 o'clock.
Lowenthal Tells of Visit.
On cross-examination Coyne was not
clear as to when Mrs. Porter returned
tn the apartment for a short time In
the course of the summer. He said she
always sent him a note in advance of
her coming, but did not recollect Just
when the summer note was received.
Bernard Lowenthal. the next witness,
said he lived at 27 West Ninetieth street'
was a salesman not at present employed.

Dr. Royal S. Cop'land, Health Com

the slightest alarm among the folks of

James Muck of 37 Catharine street, an
Internal revenue agent, nnd Michael
Grist of 177 Cherry street, a prohibition
enforcement agent, were arrested and
locked up In the West Forty-seventh
street Btatlon last night about 6 o'clock
after they had Invaded the cafeteria of
Relsenwcbcr'a restaurant at Eighth ave
nue and Fifty-eighth street, flourished
revolvers and, the police chnrge, tried to
whip all the waiters and customers In
the place. They we.'c charged by Patrol
man Patrick Leddy with "using obscene
and abusive language" and with' being
"drunk and disorderly." When they
were searched at the police station the
police found that each of them had a
revolver, and that Muck had In his pock
et a brown bottle filled with whiskey.
The police say that' Muck and Grlsl,
under the Influence of the brown bottle,
went Into the cafeteria and became in
volved In nn argument with John Walsh,
manager of the place. Angelo Jatron of
343 West Flfty-slxtlt street, a waiter,
said he saw Muck reach toward his hip
pocket and that he saw the flash of a
revolver. He grabbed Muck by the arms,
nnd Thomas King, another waiter, also
grabbed the revenue agent. While they
were struggling, King said, Grlsl drew
a revolver from his pocket and cried:
"Take your hands off that man! He
Is a Federal agent and can do anything
he wants to'"
Grlsl Is alleged to have threatened
Hhe waiters and the crowd which quick
ly gathered, nnd while he nnd Muck
flourished their revolvers some of the
customers ran outfldo and shouted for
police. This drew nn enormous crowd
from the throng of homeward bound
persons about Columbus Circle, and
there were several nundred persons
crowded around the doors of the res
taurant when Muck and Grlsl, still
flourishing their guns, left t.ie place.
King, the waiter, meanwhile had s.lpptd
out by another door and hurried over to
Columbus Circle, where he Informed
Patrolman Leddy that two Government
ngents were trying to kill everybody in
Rehenweber's.
Leddy abandoned traffic in tho circle
and ran over to the restaurant. Just In
time to see a taxlcab go careening
down the street amid the shouts of
the crowd, with Grlsl and Muck hang
ing out of the windows. Leujy com
mandeered another taxlcab and gave
chare, and the crowd of excited citizens
pounded nlong on foot, so that traffic
in Eighth avenue had to come to a
standstill. Leddy finally caught up with
the fleeing taxlcab at Eighth avenue
nnd Forty-sixth street and ordered, the
chauffeur to halt. He ordered Muck
and Grist to go back to the restaurant
They laughed at him, the policeman
said, and flashed their Government
badges.
"Don't Interfere with us In the per
formance of our duty," Leddy said
Muck replied haughtily.
"You've got to come back where you
raised this rough house." said Leddy.
"We refuse to go!" declared Muck
and Grlsl, according to the policeman.
"I'm going to take you back." said
I,ddy. "Now what do you think of
that?"
The prohibition and revenue agents
didn't think much of It. but there was
nothing they could do. Their chauffeur
turned his cab and drove back, sur
rounded by a curious crowd which had
no Idea what was happening, but which
was determined to miss nothing. Leddy
half dragged and half carried his pris
oners into the restaurant where Charles
H Alexander, chief manager of Relsen
.W. Insisted that they be locked up.
PMrolman Robert Enrlght came along
about that time and he nnd Leddy took
the Government agents to the police sta
tion. The police say that when they got
there Muck was so drunk he was unab'c
to give his pedigree, and was locked
up for an hour while he sobered up.
Finally they were searched and the
Whiskey bottle and the revolvers found,
as well' as credentials proving they were
revenue and prohibition enforcement
agents. i
After two or three hours In the cells
Muck anu unst were reicascu m uu ,
bail each furnished by a friend, and
they will appear in the West Side Court
this morning.

Credit where credit is due
We believe in advertising.
We believe in it so thoroughly
that we are willing '(iinsolicitedly) to
buy this space to pay tribute to it.
Not merely a tribute to Advertising
as an art, or as a profession, but to
Advertising as a Power in business,
and as a great factor and a positive
necessity in the highest type of con
duct and of development of the great
enterprises that have made American
business institutions and American
commerce the wonder and the envy
of the entire world.
We would not, under any circum
stances, be understood as advocating
advertising as a substitute for weak
ness in either merchandise, or methods
of merchandising, but rather as an
accessory of almost incalculable value
in the exploiting and selling of any
worthy product.
Advertising is a force only when
there is a force back of it.
The right kind of advertising re
duces the cost of selling and therefore
does not necessitate inflation of the
price of the merchandise advertised.
Advertising an unworthy product
is no more nor less than hastening the
inevitable disaster that must follow
questionable methods, either in the
making or exploiting of merchandise
of doubtful character.
Advertising often follows and
should follow as a sequence to suc
cess. It's merely dodging facts for any
manufacturer or large distributor of
any important and nationally adver
tised commodity to treat the adver
tising end of the business slightingly
or as merely incidental to the business
at large.
Unless the advertising end of a
business is fully recognized as a sub
stantial factor a part and parcel of
the businessr there is going to be a
leak in efficiency.
The advertising department of a
business is deserving of, and needs,
the most whole-hearted sort of under
standing and co-operation of the en
tire force making up the personnel of
its organization.
From our advertising department
we expect only that the advertisements
measure up to the standard of the
merchandise, and furthermore we ex
pect the advertising management to
make sure that the merchandise is
fully worthy of what is to be said about
it in the printed word.
There is good reason for us to feel
as we do toward advertising for we
are free to confess that we attribute a
large measure of our success a very
large measure in fact to advertising.
In the first place, we exert every
effort to produce merchandise that
will pass any test the test of the
fashion creator for style assurance,
the test of artistic merit, and the test
of quality-service to the ultimate con
sumer. As soon as we are absolutely sure
on all these points we know it's time
to advertise, and our sole object in ad
vertising is to let the world know
what we have created for the enjoy
ment and satisfaction of the people in
.beauty in apparel.
It is naturally to be expected that
people will travel the road that leads
them most quickly and safely to
destination; hence the guideboard:
Advertising.
Hiding your light under a bushel
is stupidity if you have anything
worth lighting.; if you haven't the less
said the better.
We feel that the manifest confi
dence in our product, now so well
established, was largely achieved
through advertising.
Of course the merchandise is main
ly responsible, but advertising told the
world about that merchandise.
After all is said and done, advertis
ing can be as big a force as the mer
chandise that is back of it.
Advertising, like everything else,
must have backing, and when prop
erly backed it becomes one of the
greatest forces in present day in
dustrial life.
Mallinson's Silks de Luxe had to
be what they are before they could
justify the advertising which was con
ceived solely for the purpose of letting
the world know about these silks that
were a noteworthy step ahead of the
general run of fabrics made from the
silk cocoon; silks that have every
where been acclaimed as the highest
achievement in American Silk mak
ing; silks, in fact, that vie with silks
of any country in the world.
What woman does not today know
of Pussy Willow, Khaki-Kool, In
destructible Voile, Kumsi-Kumsa,
Dew-Kist, Roshanara Crepe, Chin
chilla Satin, Madame Butterfly Mar
quisette, Will O' The Wisp, Thisldu,
Klimax Satin, Fisher Maid, and Dover
down?;
And how many would Kavc kno.wn
had it not been for advertising.
