myself in D. Nj. so came home al
once. Am not afraid to trust N.Y.

CU0J,S OFF In COURT
Abe Gruber's Brother Re
.pentant after His arrest.

Calm and subdued Isaac Gruber. brother
OF Abraham Gruber. stood before Magis-
trate OConnor in the night court last
night to plead to charges of fntoxication
and disorderly conduct in the same court
where he appeared In the small early
hours of yesterday morning In behalf of
an alleged shoplifter.
There was no trace Of the bravado that
Gruber displayed when he told Magistrate
OConnor that he was "a faker" "a gradu-
ate OF the jerome College and that the
magistrate was playing to the gallery"
His head was slightly bent forward and
a deep crimson suffused his face and bald
head. which gave the few hairs on the
latter the sheen of the golden rod in the
light of the setting sun. Gruber, whose
performance caused Magistrate OConnor
to have him arrested and later released
under $500 bail. was plainly remorseful
The little silk robed magistrate read
from a paper before him. which charged
Gruber with intoxication and using abusive
language to the court and also acting in
dlsorderly manner.
What have you to say to the charges"
asked the magistrate.
His early morning effort apparently af
fected his voice. for, In hardly more than
whisper, Gruber answered:
Well ] plead guilty to everything but
the intoxication charge. I not intoxi-
Gated. was laboring under great ex-
element
Then, in the same calm and judicial tone
that he held while Gruber was abusing
him early In the morning, Magistrate
OConnor read the sentence. 'As you adj
NIT you used language uniting in court.
] am sorry for you and for your family. SO
far as J am personally concerned. don't
care what you said about me. But I sit
here as a member OF the judiciary, and
must uphold its dignity. Personally, I am

as he put his hand out across the magis-

CONSIDER PIER RENTALS.
Sinking Fund Commission MAY Try
New Method

Mayor Gaynor and other members of the
Sinking Fund Commission at its meeting
yesterday showed a disposition to change
the method of assigning city piers y Com
missioner Tomkins of the Dock Depart
ment said there were two policies that
might be pursued-the first. that Of getting
the maximum rental from the piers the
other. of considering in a broad wav the
commercial welfare of the city.
Commissioner Tomkins, explaining his
budget asking for an authorization of cor
porate stock to the extent of 100000 for
the acquisition OF property and construc-
ton Of docks. said 1t would encrosch On
the debt margin by only s11.s10,o0,. and that
probably only one-half of that amount
would be expended this year.
\ new policy of dealing with property
leased by the city was adopted when the
commission asked the Tax Department for
information as to the assessed value of
several parcels of property that the city
proposes to lease. 1t seemed TO the Mayor
that the proposed rental in several cases
was out of proportion to the value of the
property. The commission refused TO ex-
empt the Academy Of Music of Brooklyn
from taxation.
