Comedian.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Twenty-five
thousand mourners from New York's
Ghetto turned out for the funeral to-
day Of Zigmund Mogulesko, famous
among the Yiddish as an actor and
comedian. The crowd, which followed
a funeral procession led by the He
brew Actors Club. was so unwieldy
that police reserves were called out
to keep order.
II may never have happened before
that men sang extremely comic songs
with tears In their eyes. Yet, early
this morning. when the members OF
the Hebrew Actors Club gathered at
10S Second avenue. the funerals

Yiddish actors who had been selected
as pallbearers carried the coffin down
from the Hebrew Actors Club than
the crowd surged into the middle Of
the street and it was a hard problem

In front of the National Theatre,
where prayer service for Mogulesko
was held and speeches were made by
prominent members of the East Side
community, matters were worse
Every one who was to be admitted
was first given a ticket by the funeral
committee, and as this was a slow
process friends of the dead actor tried
to burst through the crowds, the po-
lice were hard put to it to restrain
them.
The mounted policemen tried TO
clear a path, but the crowd was
tightly wedged. To add to their dis
comfort, some of the actor -mourners
were trying to get back to their
places.
And amid all this thousands Of cries
rent the air Many in the jam were
humming Mogulesko's hymns and
many were bewailing. 10Y, Gevald,

Wrecked Trust Co.

Hopeful and optimistic, 200 depos-
itor-stockholders of the new Mutual
Bank Of Roseyille, successor to the
wrecked Roseville Trust Company,
attended a dinner last night at
Wards Hall, Orange and Seventh
streets. Enthusiasm over the pros
poets of the new institution marked
the banquet and the speeches that
followed.
The speakers all declared that the
establishment of the new bank was
unique and remarkable undertake
ing
"Six months ago, almost to the day,
the Roseviile Trust Company closed
its doors and the State banking de-
partment began its investigation. The

ance, and Irving C. Brown. president
of the Credit Mems Association
The dinner was apparently served
as a vent for some of the pent-up
enthusiasm and spirit OF those in
terested in the new bank
President Clifford F. MacEvoy said
the dinner marked the sighting of that
point where the depositors in the old
bank would shortly be paid 40 per
cent. of the money they entrusted
to ii. Counsel for the new bank Ed
ward f. Clark. formerly president of
the Guardians Trust Company, of
New York, said that he hoped to be
able to declare that the opening day
of the Mutual Bank on the site of the
Roseville Trust Company on Orange
street and Roseville avenue will be
February 16. Commissioner La Monte
refused to publish a statement that
the bank would be opened on that
day, but Mr.. Clark said he believed
he will in a day or two.
Edwin A. Van SAINT, who WAS presi-
dent of the Depositors' Protective
Association, presided at the open
ing of the banquet and intro
duced Irving c. Brown as the toast
master. Before doing so he told those
present that In the organization of
the Mutual Bank of Roseville, with
the depositors as stockholders having
a direct interest in the profits there
is striking example of how in some
of the big things of today. the people
are coming into their own.
He likened the birth of the bank to
that of boy and asked: Are we
going to starve the child? No, We
will go to see him frequently and feed
him with deposits" The new bank
will be a fitting member of the group
of financial institutions which have
made Newark famous in the State,

TARIFF HITS TRADE,
WIRE UNION SAYS
Claims of BeIIeviIle lronwork-
ers Placed Before Leader
Underwood Today.
lFrom a Star Correspondent.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--Represent-
ing the wire workers of Belleville, n,
j. Henry J, Turner, president OF the
Wire Workers Union, is holding con-
ferences today with Congressman
Underwood The visitor was intro
duced to the great tariff maker by
Representative Eugene Kinkead. Mr..
Turner explained that the men of his
trade were dissatisfied with the re-
duction made in the tariff on wire.
The tariff cut the rates down from
As to 10 per cent. The wireworker
from Belleville explained that the re-
duction, if it was adhered to, would
seriously interfere with the con-
ditions of trade in Belleville and else
where. He did not ask for a restora-
lion of the old high rates, but thought
that an increase to twenty or twenty
five cents would be about right.
Congressman Underwood took the
matter under advisement and gave
some suggestions of a practical ma
ture to Mr.. Turner how to go about
securing the remedy he sought. The
Congressman said that it was no part
of the plan in revising the tariff to
work an injury, and where the re-
vision that had been made could be
shown to prove injurious to the trade
steps would .be Immediately taken to
remedy the defects
The congressman is quoted as say
ing in effect: 1--WE are not standpat
ters in matters of this kind. We have
studied the questions that came be-
fore us carefully, but where it can be
shown that we have erred you will
find us ready to go to work on the
tariff again and keep working at it
until it is adjusted to bring the best
results to the country"
Congressman Kinkead promised to
study the features relating to the wire
Industry and do all in his power to
readjust the tariff when it is shown
that a readjustment is necessary.

When The Star called the attention
of the people to the high cost Of fish
and showed them that all the pound
net men received for catching them
was 21s cents a pound, it woke up the
men folks who didn't realize that in
many instances their wives were pay
ing as high as 40 cents a. pound for
the fish while at the same time they
were complaining only of the beef
trust, but when they learned that
every word in The Stars stories was
true they called the attention of their
representatives to the matter and
there was quick action.
New York Figures Interesting.
The figures gathered by the New
York Aldermen are very interesting,
as they show that the one-time fa-
nous fish market, known all over the
world, was simply distributing head
quarters for the fish trust and that
every time woman entered the place
with a market basket, in search of
fresh fish, she was looked upon as
another one of P. T. Barnum's zone

tune took her place beside Miss Ruth
Law in Miss Laws aeroplane and,
before anyone could identity her

ried out of effective range of the

After the aeroplane had executed
spirals 1000 feet above the Hotel
Clarendon, and had circled over Or
mond, it landed on the beach and
Mrs. Robert Goelet, of New York,
alighted.
There was much guessing during
the twenty minutes the two women
we're flying, and the surprise they
had given the winter colony here was
the chief topic at dinner last night.
A photographer stood too near the
line of the aeroplane's descent and
was struck after 1t landed. He was
slightly injured and his camera was
wrecked.
Mrs Goelet is spending the winter
here with her two children.

REMOVAL UPHELD
Higher Court Says Mrs. Peix-
otto Should Have Appealed
to Commissioner.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Mrs. Bridget
Peixotto, school teacher, who won
a preliminary battle in the State Su-
preme Court after having been dis
missed by the school board because
she absented herself from her duties
to become mother, met with reversal
by the Appellate division today.
This court unanimously upset JUS
tice Seabury's decision, which had
ordered the board to reinstate the
teacher. The higher court held that
Mrs. Peixotto should have applied to
the State commissioner of education
for relief rather than to the courts.

accordingly.
One of the arguments advanced by
the fish trust against the campaign of
The Star is that the retail dealers are
the robbers and not them, but where
do they and how do they account for
the fact that the same prices prevail
in the peoples market Of New York
as they do in all parts of the East?
Never was a combination formed that
is so well regulated as the fish trust
of New York and Philadelphia. A
person can go into any market in any
city and he will find that the prices
are the same and no such thing could
happen unless there was an agree
ment somewhere to control the prices
and that is the very fact that caused
the introduction of the resolution tc
close Fulton Market.
That the market has also fallen into
the hands of the fish trust seem to be
an assured fact, as the resolution also
