TOOK DIP IN RESERVOIR
Youth Didn't Know There Was
a Rule Against It.

David Gold believes that cleanliness
Is next to godliness. so he took a bath
on Sunday. Had he gone about 1t in
the regular way maybe he would not
have been arrested, but David didn't
know
In the summer time the city provides
free baths, as indeed 1t does In the
winter if one only knows where to find
them; but there Is strict rule against
any one bathing in the reservoir In
Central Park at any time Of the year.
David did not know this.
In q way Gold, who is eighteen years
old, was modest about 1t all. He
waited until the sun had gone down be-
hind the big apartment houses that
face the park on the west, and then.
seeking a secluded spot, removed his
clothing. 1t didn't take him long for
that, and then, believing himself un-
seen, he quietly slipped into the water
near S6th street.
Pretty soon two women happened
along. They saw the boys clothes
lying upon the bank, and thought that
maybe some one had committed suicide.
They straightway looked for a police
man. Gold was taken to the Arsenal
station, where he told his story.
1T might have been all right for you
to have taken a bath" said the lieu
tenant on the desk. ''if only you had
gone about 1t in the right way" Then
he sent the young man to the night
court.

CRABS LOOSE; GIRL YELLS;
PANIC IN A R. R. CAR
Women Climb Upon Seats and
Scream for Help When Forty
Crustaceans Get Out of Bag.

When crab has been boiled and the
meat picked and put in a chatting dish
along with a lot of other things, per
sons who have had enough money To
pay the check Say that It makes a de-
lightful dish, but that is another story.
There were two men on a Long
Island train last night who had been
crab fishing. When the train left Rock
away they had about forty crabs in a
big sack There were also other per-
sons in the train. among them several
girls and young women.
When the train reached The Raunt
one OF the girls began TO scream. when
she had attracted the attention Of
every one in the car she climbed up on
a seat and what appeared afterward
was worth talking about.
1t appears TO be a fact that crabs
are attracted by white stockings. and
no wonder the poor girl screamed. For
some one OF the forty odd crabs in the
bag had gnawed his way out of the bag
and there had been general Jail de-
livery, and the girl who screamed was
the first TO realize their activity. There
was not a woman In the car who was
not standing on a scat, and several Of
them seemed on the verge OF Mysteries.
The excitement lasted nearly fifteen
minutes. and when 1t was all over the
men who had caught the crabs could
find only about dozen that were fit
for table use. Those that hadn't gone
into the baskets Of other fishermen had
given up their lives for their liberty.
They lay prone and squashed upon the
floor.

Police Mystified as to the Mo-
tive of Young Men They
Seek-Children Call
II Fox Bite"

Two young men, who last night were
sought by the police have terrorized
children on the lower East SIDE by
vigorously rubbing the arms of young
sters until blood flows freely. Thirty
children, ranging I'm age from six to
twelve years, appeared in Bellevue
Hospital for treatment within forty
eight hours ending at o'clock last

was bruised. and in several cases
when the children were backward
about going TO the institution-con
siderable blood had been lost. Asked
how their arms had been bruised, each
replied

II was explained by the young
patients that they had been rudely
seized by two young men, one of whom
rubbed his cap or a bit Of cloth back
and forth on their arms until the fric-
tion drew blood. The cases became so
numerous and the descriptions given
by the children tailed in so many de-
tails that the hospital authorities COM
municated with the East 3Jth street
police station, recommending that the
cases be investigated by detectives.
Detectives were assigned and inter-
rogated several Of the young patients.
Among those questioned who sought
treatment in the hospital yesterday
were Agnes Culbia, twelve years old,

Alexander Lynett, ten years old, of No.
400 East 2lst street, and Adolph WISH
onsky, twelve years old, of No. 4t6 First

in the hospital was John Betterly, six
years old, of No. Ais First avenue.
Detectives assigned to the case were
asked last night If any motive had been
learned for the young mems action.

1t was said by some of the young

were described as being stockily built
