tfoman's Suicide Wns One of
Ghastliest April Tool
' Jokes of 'Period.
Thomas Moore, a lawyer of 44 Court
street, Brooklyn, nmtounced jesterdny
that he would bring before the Ap
pelate Division In llrooklyn the Shan
non will case, which bids fair to be
come famous. The attorney seeks, by
appeal, to overturn the decision of Sur
rogate Strong In Suffolk county, In
which the Surrogate rendered Judgment
aa-alnst the father of William Purdy
Shannon. One might And In this an
nouncement nothing more than a para
graph for the Law Journat, but It really
helds one of the most Interesting chap
ters In the history of older New York.
, Forty years ago, when tSovernments
' nrti men did not speak In terms of
billions, the possession of $1,000,000
held Its own peculiar Interest. When
the million and the owners combined
wealth with rapidly moving and sensa
tional Incidents, ono might conjure with
Ilia combination.
, .By way of placing the present legal
tangle nn nil fours before serving the
stranger thin fiction prelude as the
piece de resistance of this narrative,
one must say that William Purdy Shan
lien, who had leached the Interesting
thirty year period of life without taking
a.-helpmeet. was shot accidentally while
hunting dueka In Oreat South Bay In
October, 191. A few hours after the
accident Mr. Shannon died. A will,
drawn eight years before, left a fortune
ot 1560,000 to his uncle, Charles R.
Purdy. and Mrs. Abby Wilkinson Purdy
of. Bayport, U I. A nominal sum was
left to Hayward Hall Shannon, an only
brother to the testator, and nothing was
left to William Plckell Shannon, his
father.

1h Interest swings to the source of the
fortune. William Purdy Shannon, the
maker of the disputed will, was the
great-grandson of Mrs. Charles It. Loh

Shannon waa derived from the estate of
the woman and her husband, "Doctor"
Lohmsn, who, as Dr. Maureceau, was
known widely as the most successful
quack in the history of tho city.
Has. Restell Well Known.
IDs wife, known at Mine. Restell, was
even better known than her husband.
From time to time during forty years
she came to claim spare on the front
pages of the dally papers. Her career
began about 1845 and ended on April 1,
1171, with one of the most surprising
tragedies that the town had known.
And, per Incident, the tragedy came
to take the point from what was, for a
moment esteemed to be but an April
Fool JoKe.
Mme. Restell, who waa born In Trow,
rame from England In the early thirties
to this country. She had been a ser-1
vant In the old country and had mar

making a living any part of his natural

1131. and the wldnv took quartern over
n apothecary, shop I" a tenement In
Chatham street, now Park Row. The
pill maker In tho shop below took his
neighbor Into his confidence and taught
her many things regarding the chemis
try of life. Chiefly did the stock of
wisdom relate to scientific, or more or
less scientific, methods of birth control.
With Mme. Costello, n contemporary.
Mme. Restell became famous, and to
their operations were dur largely the
enactment of the present State laws
with respect to Interfering unduly with
- tho natural law of population's Increase.
From the Chatham street tenement
the woman moved to 16.1 Chambers
street, only to come In time to a pxlatlnl
home at Fifty-second street and Fifth
s.Venue. There tho Hotel I,angham
later was built.
It was three year after the death
of her husband that she married Charles
Robert I.ohman, Who was a printer on
the New York Berald. They had one
child, Caroline Summers. Lohman went
to school to the woman In her uncanny
art and they started an office for the
practice of medicine. The man catered
to men; his wife to women.
Money Flowed In Fast.
Money came to them In large sums.
IiOhman; an excellent Judge or horses,

PUBLIC IS WARNED
OP GLASS IN BREAD
Flour Should Be Carefully
Sifted Before It Is Used
at Home.
COMPLAINTS IN BRONX
Federal Food Board Aroused
by Situation That Ex
cites Suspicion.
Be on the look out for glass In bread,
flour and bread wrappers!
This warning was Issued yesterday
by the Federal Food Board of the State
of New York.
It Is known that John Mitchell, chair
man of the board, and Arthur Williams,
Federal Food Administrator for this
city, feet there Is no reason to believe
that organised action ot enemies to the
country Is responsible, although the
situation In such that It Is prudent to
warn the public to be on their guard.
They are satisfied from Investigations
that have been made that the work Is
that of a malicious person or persons
employed in certsln departments of
bakeries and factories where these
things have happened.
Although the board declines to make
public nny detallsconcernlng complaints
that have been made as to the finding of
glass In bread ami in flour, it Is under
stood that tho attention of the Food Ad
ministrators has been directed to at
least fifteen or sixteen concrete cases,
all of which havo been carefully fol
lowed up by the board's Investigators.
1 Text of the Warning;.
The publlo warning, as announced by
Augustln McNally, the board's publicity
director, Is as follows:
"Jagged bits of glass having been
found In flour and bread and bread
wrappers, the public Is advised to be
most careful in the future when eating
bread, rolls, cakes and pastry. House
wives should examine bread after It
has been cut and made ready for the
table. Where bread Is baked In the
home the flour should be thoroughly
sifted for foreign substances.
"Owners of bakeries and those han
dling flours and substitutes used In
baking are asked to have a rigid In
spection made before these commodities
leave shipping rooms In bulk or manu
factured form. Where suspicion is ex
cited there should bo immediate Investi
gation. "Complaints of this character have
been sufficiently frequent to warrant the
t board In publishing this warning, much
as it dislikes to be put in the position
of seeming to alarm our public unduly.
These complaints have been authenti
cated by thorough Investigation. It need
'scarcely be added that the board has
nlready taken nctlon to protect the pub
lic, and that any person or persons dis
covered placing foreign substances In
eatables, to the Injur' of the public,
will be prosecuted to the limit of the
power of the State and Federal authori
ties." Found Mostly tn Lesres.
Although the complaints came from
widely separated points one or two
were from up-State towr.s th majority
of them were lodi.ed by persons 'ajxlng in
The ,Bronx; At least a dozen have been
recorded since March, when It was an
nounced at Federal Food ltoird hcad
Vfartcts that si ass hsd been found In
side bread wrappers In Mount Vernon,
Hoboken and this city. At that time the
hoard was also disturbed over a report
of tho finding of glass in a portion of
buckwheat cakes served In a Manhattan
hotel.
omc.lals of one big baking firm, which
baked r-ome of the loaves In which glass
was discovered by persons lodging com
plaints iith the board, admitted they
hsd received similar complaints direct
from customers. These HiUIitlnn.il cases
added to the anxiety of tl"o board and
strengthened the belief of the Kooil Ad
ministrators that It wns wle to warn
the public to look out for glass In bread
and fln-jr
Wnnts F.meraency Law.
Although there are general laws pro
viding for the punishment of persons
who endanger the lives of others by
putting harmful articles In food .turfs.
Chairman Mitchell Believes a law should
he enacted at once dialing specifically
with ,the placing of ground or broken
glass In breadstuff's. He intends to lay
the matter before Gov. Whitman In a
day or two with a view to having such n
proposed law drafted nnd passed by the
Legislature.
On March U, the day It became known
here that persons had complained to the
Federal Food Board uf the existence of
ground slats Inside bread n-np,iers, I'ed
eral Agent Jackson of Topeka, Kan.,
found five Instances where Kround glass
appeared In loaves of bread that came
from the bakery of a German who had
never been naturalized. Jackson said
he didn't suspect the baker himself.
Several itinerant Journeymen disap
peared from the shop after working
there a few days.
It was said last night more than one
baking concern here has hired detectives
to watch all moves In their plants with
tho view to safeguarding the making of
bread.

GYPSY SMITH FINDS

Evangelist Tells of 800 Sol-
diers Professing Christian
ity in Y. M. C. A. lint.
For those gloomy pessimists who are
forever walling that soldiers are a bad
and unrogenerato lot, Oypey Smith. Uie
British evangelist, has a message which
may give them aid and comfort. The
evangelist has been far months back of
the battle front In France working with
the T. M. C. A., and he knows soldiers.
or tho 'Hoys." as he affectionately
terms the men of tho allied armies.
"It Is far caster," he told the audi
ence which packed tho Century Theatre
yesterday afternoon, "to get the boys to
a religious meeting than It Is to drag
some of you to your churches on Sun
day."
Then he spoke of ono service within
the sound of guns at which !00 soldiers,
alt that could crowd Into the T. M. C. A.
hut. professed Christianity. Mr. Smith
arrived at the hut a few minutes after
the meeting was to begin. When he en
tered the men were singing Joyously sn
American ragtime. Instead of reprov
ing them he remarked that It was
"fine," suggested another, and again the
notes of a Jass tune shook the rafters.
When he called for a third song the
men themselves selected a hymn, and
thus began the service nt the conclu
sion of which every man In the building
responded to the evangelist's Invitation
to make an open profession of his faith.
Mr. Smith, whp held the close Interest
of his nudlcnee for more than an hour,
paid high tribute to tho work of the T.
M. C. A on the Kuropean battlefields.
"There nre 21.000 workers among the
troops," he said, "two-thirds of whom
.ire paying their own expenses. When
ever a man tells you that this war has
proved Christianity has failed, you point
to the red triangle of the Y. M. C. A.
It Is an unanswerable argument."
Like every other man who speaks In
public these days, the evangelist did not
conclude without a reference to the
great battle upon which depends, per
haps, the fate of democratic nations the
world over.
"Don't he downhearted," was his mes

WAR HORRORS MAR
FEAST OF FRIARS!
.Merry Men Turn From Jest
and Joko to Realization of
Great Conflict.
.TOLSON FIRST ROASTED
Bnt After All Fair Stars of
st P!n4nv Jr. Svm.
,- v --- j
phonics at Astor. , I
The Frlnrs, who have abstained from
a dinner for oh these many weeks, had
thasmcrfy feeling out nnd over Inst night
wTien they camo flocking to the Astor,
bringing as their happy playmate Al
Jolson, the most luxurious flower of all
the Winter Garden. The ballroom was
all set with tables and claret, a per
fectly syncopated Jazz band waa sta
tioned In the third balcony and all
around on the second balcony were stars
and costars and other attractive women.
So after they had left their cowls In
the coatroom the FrlarB sat down and
began to roast Al Jolson. Tho work
was Btartcd by Channlnir Pollock and
continued In charming strain by Grant
Mitchell. Rennold Wolf and Al himself,
till the whole place had waxed quite as
merry as a Friar likes to have It. about
200 per cent. so. Al was defamed up
n,.a n. .Vim 1nirth unit hrsAdtll Of Ills
career by the friendly Friars nnd his
biography portrayed in sucn luriu iunn
that Al himself gave up trying to make
llt.A n .frntcht tofV Ollt Of tt
and sat down with a "God'bless you!
It appears rrom ttennoiu non uim
was really born In Russia, that his name
was Bol'hevlk Mazovltch. and that he
took hl pet name Al from that well
known Russian Al Woodsky. Grant
Mltcfhell Insisted that the Winter Garden
audience where Al is playing In "Sin
bad" was so put out by his work Satur
day night that they rose ss one man at
10 o'clock, set their watches ahead an
hour, ami left.
To all of which, Al, appearing In hl
truo Caucasian color, blushed and bowed
and told nt his reat and lasting friend
ship with the Shuberts, "Al and Jake,"
which caused a general outburst, as
In the words of Chonnlng Pollock. Al
held tho World's reeor'rt-of endurance for
having lasted seven whole years with
tne ramous producers, wnicn mane j
mm exactly ivi years oiu, .Mr. i oiioei
added.
A la ram of Wnr Wounded.
Then there was struck i note uiwn
the listening ears of the good Fr.ars
thnt was strange. They did not know
how to take It, for as has been re
marked, they had put every other thing
aside for this gentle and amusing din
ner for Al Jolson, and what they wanted
was good Friar Jokes and music and all
the rest of the trimmings.
Col. J. S. Dennl. recruiting officer
for the Canadian army, got up In his
turn and flung out a bit of Irish that
startled. He called the Frlnrs out to
challenge him If he said sn thing un
pleasant, and before any one could or
would protest he had turned the rest
session for Al into a nownng patriotic
rally. Tho Colonel took his glove off
and hnmmered home what seemed to
him tho complete unfitness of celebrat
ing a guest when there, wan a ar under
wav that is staggering tne Allies nnu
taking a dally toll of 150.000 lives. He
went so far as to eay that the Friars
had come to the dinner to drink pop
water that has to be relieved by a
Turkish bath or a pall of Ice.
There was quite a hush for a time
when the Colonel made these statements.
Then a good Friar in the back of the
room set un a Friar hooray and every
body Joined In. From that time the
chairs tilted back to all four legs and ,
ihete wns some serious listening.
' What will happen If Germany wins
the war?" he demanded, bending far j
over the table. I
"She won't win." said a Friar In front
"Oh. It's very well to sit there and soy
such things ami to applaud," said Col. :
Dennis. "But Jut remember that while i
i mi nre dining here then- are If.o.OOO
hovs giving up their lives to-night to i
keeh tpe Huu wolf from America's door. I
There Is only one thing thnt will win i
tills war men' If America had done
what Canada has done. ou would to
night have 2.000.000 slain and an army
of p, niiii.OOO in France,
People Do Jfot Ilraltee War.
"You Americans don't know that the
win Is u'olng on, as we know It In Can
ada." the Colonel continued, "or lis they
do In Kiiglnnd. where 14 per cent, of the
pop.tlatioii Is under arms."
This tune the iippl.iuse came racket
ting out, and it was a mum tit befji
the Colonel could be heard.
'Thi war Is nasty, din.v, bloody busi
ness," he said. "We can't afford to
waste time abusing the enemy. Wo
have pot to hnc men and they have
got to kill the Germans. If each one of
them can kill ten Germans we will win.
It has got to be done, nnd nothing else
will do It. And the thing 1 want you to
net from me. as 1 must speak plainly. Is
that you have either got to fight or you ,
hae got to pay! I do not call you j
ladles and gentlemen. The time Is past j
for that. 1 call you men and women.
It Is the hour of crisis. All you have Is
at stake, equally, and If joti don't take
this tiling to licait jou ate going to
lose all."
Tie l'rlnrs were nil with fie Colonel

BIG TOM READY FOR
ENEMY ALIEN HUNT
Marshal McCarthy Awaits
Word to Corral 80,000
Teutonic Skulkers.
, START IS LONG DELAYED
Iota of Data Obtained About
Hannts of Babbit, Spies
and Other Menaces.
1 That principal pest of tha alien enemy
In these parts, Big Tom McCarthy,
United States Marshal, expects to begin
to-day the big roundup of Teutonic per
sons that have been too reticent about
their uncorrected origin and too shy
about their living address. There are
supposed to be about 30.000 of them
hiding hereabout, and there Is more
than a suspicion on the part of the Fed
eral authorities that arson and espion
age In the Interest of the Kaiser have
been the principal outdoor sports In
dulged In by not a few of them.
Big Tom was not talking much for
publication yesterday, for his April fool
Job Is one that will stand n lot ot
silence. His comments were pretty inttc'i
restricted to nods and smiles, manifesta
tions which may he taken to Indicate his
r.ct for the forthcoming hunt. Hut the
statement that he and a corps of depu
ties nre likely to bo extremely busy for
the next few days or weeks Is not to be
considered a violation of confidence. If
indeed he can manage to corral a mess
I of I. W. W.'s and People's Council rab-
bits he will not feel that he has lived
, In vain.
The Marshal was busy along these
lines In the general run of duty before
intimation came from Washington that
it was time to act against alien enemies
who havo disobeyed tho registration law
end havo flouted the President's man
date of November 16 which prescribed
Immediate Imprisonment or internment
for persons unregistered In their true
colors. Working about twenty hours of
every day and combing parts of the city
where tho Teutonic flavor Is notoriously
strong, McCarthy hss accumulated a
good deal of data as to the Identity nnd
location of persons who must be tabbed
for future reference.
Mny Raid Restaurants.
The Marshal suspects that certain
German restaurants cafes that for
merly sported the Kaiser's portrait, the
Prussian arms and even pictures of the
I'rown Prince, but which now camouflage
their walls and their sentiments with
pictures of President Wilson and Gen.
Pershing are still the rendezvous of
these unlisted Germans. Recently there
have been quiet celebrations In Fome of
these restaurants ; nothing very bold,
ono must understand, but a great deal
of elation, patently displayed, over the
Von Hlndenburg drive. It Is not un
likely that Big Tom may And It neces
sary try drop Into one of these hotbeds
of Prusslanlsm nny evening In the near
future for tho purpose of making a col
lection. The McCarthy museum of alien
enemlee, traitors and white rabbits Is
very well filled, but It Is by no means
complete.
It has been almost a year since the
suggestion was made that the (Joxeru
lrent compel registration of potential
enemies and the police registration of
such persons was oxer nnd done with six
weeki ngo. Yet nothing, to date, has
been accomplished toward rounding up
tho evaders, although tho fact Is evi
dent to the Federal authorities here that
much of tho spy work and attempts at
destruction of property must have been
Inspired and carried out by the very
persons In hiding. Among the "0.000
that McCarthy Is going after, if the In
timation Is true that the Goernment has
tlnally made up its mind to display firm
ness, are thousands that have had access
to shipbuilding yaids and to factories
where war materi'il for the Allies in be-
n; made. These persons have been.' free
to come nnd go exon In fot bidden rones,
t Is complained, and few If any arrests
have been made !ecauso there outlaws
lacked Identification cards.
Wallace's Work Is Relnjed.
The whole matter lias been in th"
lianila of Attorney-General Gregory,
whoso delay in Issuing a specific order
for tho arrest nnd Internment of Ger
mans who have acted flagrantly tn dis
obedience of the law has been a matte
of amazement to many persons. Tho
head of the Port Allen Bureau Is Will
iam Wallace, Jr., who was formerly a
special Deputy I'nlted Stnten Attorney
General, nnd who has been busy for the
Inn three weeks making preparations
for the roundup.
Mr. Wallace has had the Job of co
ordinating xnrlous branches of authority,
eivl' nnd military, which nnw be ned tn
sather In tho dangerous skulkets, hut fut
wno reason it was not made easy
for him to get settled down. Quarters
were not provided for him. His hope. Is
tint part of the old Jail In I.udlow street,
even the quarters of tho Alimony Club,
may be available for detention purpose.
The nearest be can use at present Is at
Trenton, N. J- Mr. Wallace went to
Washington last night to confer with the
Attorney-General and John Lotd O'Brien
on the subject.
It Is expected that n compir!on of
the police lists with the New York State
military censua will reveal by to-day the
ii'imes of most of tlm unregistered cnem
iliens ami that word will come directly
from Washington to go ahead with the
Ins loundup. That Is the expectation
nnons Federal officials, who arc u iy
inxlous that the drive bn staved. Delay
makes It so much harder, they point out
to protect nnd guard districin and butld
iiiks vital to American war preparations
"o much harder to keep military secrets
fmin leaking out.
Tho only palliative held out to the
skulkers Is that they .may get more
amiable treatment If they now come for
ward voluntarily, without being dragged
out of their burrows, and apply for per
mission tfi ha carded nnd finger printed.
