Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Feb. 2S.-John
Seery, patient at the Matteawan
state hospital for the criminal insane,
in statement made here to Assistant
Attorney Edward A. Conger, declared
that he saw George Galbraitn, an at
tendant, strike John E. Nugent, the
patient whose lifeless body was found
on the floor of his room in the Mattea-
wan asylum on the morning of Friday,
Feb 3.
This story is in contradiction of the
story told by Galbraith last Saturday
night in Wich Galbraith gave testi-
mony on which Daniel Riley another
attendant, was arrested.
Much importance is attached to
Seery's insistence that the beating Of
Nugent took place on Wednesday, Feb.
1st, whereas the story of Galbraith Is
that Riley did the beating on Thurs

STILL NO CLUE
Detectives Have Not Yet Found Trace
of Mrs. Drummcnds Gems.

New York, Feb. 2S-The public and
private detectives who were hustling
for clues that might lead to the crook
who got away with Mrs. Maldewin
Drummond's $4,000 worth of pearls
and diamonds, on board the Hamburg
American liner Amerika last Saturday
night. have no clue. Mrs. Drummond
is still at the Hotel Plaza with her
husband.
The Drummonds were more insistent
than ever today that their servants
must not be suspected. Mrs. Drum
mond told Assistant General Manager
Meyer of the line when she talked to
him that her maid was not in the
state room when she undressed and
put her jewels in the writing desk.
The maid was not feeling well and
went early to her own room, so Mr.,
Drummond did the unlocking. Mr..
Drummond's valet she declared, was
not in Mrs Drummond's stateroom at
any time.
The robbery did not lie within the
field of the New York police and so
there was nothing for Flynn's men to
do but look in the pawnshops and send
out circulars describing the jewelry.

WOULD PROHIBIT
PROFANITY ON STAGE
Ordinance Now Being Consider
ed by New York Aldermen.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The board Of
aldermen held hearing on proposed
ordinance of Alderman Mulhearn to
prevent the use of blasphemy on the
stage. The ordinance was drawn up
because of the frequent use of the
word damn" in one of Clyde Fitch's
plays.
Mr.. Mulhearn said: 81 don't claim
to be an angel but when folks delib-
erately come or the stage with pro
family Pm opposed to it. This ordi-
nance ought TO include moving pic
lures as well. Why, went to smok-
er in the Bronx one night and saw a
picture that Comstock never came
across in his raids"
Speaking of profanity" Alderman
Levin observed later, Alderman Will
lard is just after telling me that
Shakespeare, who wrote some of the
most renowned books in the world,
used 154 hells and ISL damns or words
to that effect. We don't have works
Of that kind now, Mr.. Mulhearn. We're
not up to date"
Mr.. Mulhearn conceded that times
had advanced.
The debate swung to the question,
what is profanity"
IF was to tell you to go to hell is
that disorderly act?' Alderman John
I Nvhita Uantad IN know Art hur
Cclborne, president of the anti-pro-
family league, thought 1t would be.
The chairman felt impelled TO men,
ton towns whose theatres were worse
than New York One of them was AL
lany Yes, Albany was pretty bad Mr..
Colborne admitted, and he knew of
Western cities even worse.
"Oh, never took Albany seriously
as a CITY," Alderman Mulhearn said,
'and probably know it as we'll as any
of you"
After further debate it was suggest
ed that the ordinance now in the COM
mittee providing for board of 25
theatrical censors would sufficiently
purify the stage.
Among the organizations represent
ed at the hearing were the Long
Island chapter, Knights of Columbus,
the mems class of Grace Presbyterian
church, Rrooklyn; the Holy Name So
