for the year 1928, thirty-five per
cent of it's school money. In Della
ware five months is a full term as
far as compulsory attendanc. goes,
and local politicians and greedy
parents may reduce that to only
three months. The National De-
partment of Education report
shows that compulsory attendance
is provided for in the wicked suf-
frage states, as for example, in
California, Colorado, Idaho, Hi
nois, Kansas, Oregon and Wash
ington, for the full school year,
and that means nine or ten months
a year of education for the chill
dren in suffrage states. Little
Johnny Jones gets a good deal bet

lessons in the suffrage states than

without compulsory attendance are
in every case, backward both as to
education and as to tho suffrage

Indicted PhOnographDeal-
er's Counsel May Be Ad-
judged in Contempt
CASE HAS BEEN
THRICE POSTPONED
Busy in Another Court,
Saws Affidavit Present
ed to Judge

Unless Lawrence T. Gresser appears
in the Kings County Court in Brook
lyn on December 4 to defend his client,
Charles f. Ackron, indicted for grand
larceny in connection with the sale of
a secondhand photograph, Assistant
District Attorney Peters has announced
that he will recommend that Gresser be
adjudged in contempt of court.
Three times the trial of Ackron,
whose selling of fake Victrolas was ex-
posed last Sunday by The Tribune, has
been delayed through suterfuges at
tributed to his attorney. Trial of the
case was originally set for November
10, before Judge Norman S. Dixie.
Gresser appeared for Ackron, and at his
request the case was continued TIL
November 20. Ackron did not come to
court on that date, and Gresser pre-
scented to Judge Dixie a document signed
by DR.. NJ. +. Peterson, of 254 Monroe
Street, Brooklyn, which stated that his
client was too i'll to appear.
Four Witnesses from Camden
AS Mr.. Peters had gone to consider
able trouble in preparing the case FOR
trial and four witnesses were present
from Camden, n. j., Judge Dixie refused
to accept Ackron's excuse until physl-
clan had been sent to examine him on
behalf of the court. Accordingly, a
physician from the County Court went
TO Ackron's home at 254 Stuyvesant
Avenue, Brooklyn. He reported to the
court that Ackron's illness was fake"
Ackron appeared in court the next
day, last Tuesday, but Attorney Gresser
sent word he was busy in another court
and could not get away for Ackron
trial. The case was accordingly set for
trial Yesterday. Meanwhile, Ackron's
bondsmen surrendered him TO the court
and he has since been held pending the
filing of new bond.
When the case was called yesterday
an affidavit was again presented to the
court, stating Gresser was detained IN
another court and could not defend
Ackron. Communication with the court
where Gresser had said he was busy,
however, failed to bear out his asser-
ton.
Has to Accept Affidavit
Nevertheless, Judge Dixie said he
WOULD De COWptlltu W oSNNPN
Gavit as made in good faith, but de-
clared his willingness to increase the
amount of Ackron's bond.
As a result of Gresser's failure to APP
near the trial was again postponed
this time to December 4. And 1t was
then that Mr.. Peters announced his In
tention Of charging Gresser with con-
tempt Of court il he failed to appear
on that date.
Ackron is accused OF having made
false representations when he sold a
photograph purporting to be Vic
trola to Frank X. Stone, of 2459 Bed
ford Avenue, Brooklyn, June II last.
Stone paid $50 for what purported to
be a 5000 machine. In two days the
photograph broke down, and Stone
learned it was not Victrola, but a
patched-together machine Of inferior
quality.

The National Association
Urges Proper Protec-
ton for Dyes
HOME INDUSTRY
NOW EFFICIENT
Americans Produce All
Dress COlorS Known
Before War

America can henceforth lead the
world in the manufacture of silk if
the government only sees fit at the
close Of the European war TO protect
the dye industries of the country by
a sufficiently high tariff.
This is the concensus expressed by
those who addressed the second an
nual convention Of the National Silk
Association in Paterson yesterday.
They said that little more originality
on the part of manufacturers in the
construction of their fabrics and
stiff duty on imported dyes are all that
is needed TO make the silk of the
United States prominent.
As far as the color itself is con-
cerned, |. F. Stone, president of the
National Aniline and Chemical Com
pany, told the three hundred dele
gates assembled in the Elks' Hall
that America was now producing prac-
tically all of the color effects in dress
goods that were known here before
the war
at this time" he said, "the produc-
ton of American factories is enough
TO take care of the whole consumption
of aniline dyes in this country-ior
all that / might term staple colors. Be
fore another year has passed every
color which is necessary to American
consumers will be produced IN this
country"
Mr.. Stone attacked the popular i'm
preston that dyes made at home were
not as durable as those manufactured
abroad He said that some light colors
had never been really fast and never
would be, but added that he believed
American dyes rank favorably with any
manufactured in Europe.
Their high price was due, he said, TO
the fact that benzole, the base from
which all dyes are manufactured, Is
used in the manufacture OF explosives
also. and was. therefore, commanding
an eXorbitant price. -
This is also the condition in Eu-
rome" he said. "Colors brought from
Germany by the Deutschland and those
imported from Switzerland are even
higher in proportion than American
colors."
Baroness Francisco Won Hedeman,
European authority on silks, who be-
fore the war was dressmaker TO the
Queen CT England and princess Of the
roval house of Austria, told the con-
vention that silk makers Of America
should wipe the word import" from
their vocabularies.
SIZE urged that silk makers should
interest themselves more highly IN ar
tistic methods of producing the fab
RIGS. and believed that with their pres
ent facilities, plus a little more serl-
Gus effort in improving their products
they would lead the world.
y. Hakawshima, first secretary 70
the imperial Japanese Embassy at
Washington, spoke briefly of the friend
shin which has always existed between
the United States and Japan and eX-
pressed the hope that this would al
ways continue. ,.,
Before the meeting adjourned res
olution was passed urging the govern
ment TO apply a per cent specihc
duty plus the 30 per cent ad valorum
duty on all dyestuffs brought into the
country.

ROOF COLLAPSES:
ONE DEAD, HURT
WOrkmen Crushed Under
Debris in Third Avenue
Garage Accident

The sudden collapse Of the roof of a
concrete garage under construction at
Sixty-fourth Street and Third Avenue
resulted in the death Of one man and
the injury of seven others yesterday.
Three Investigations to determine re-
sponsibility were begun at once. They
are being conducted by District Attor-
ney Swami, Third Deputy Police Com
missioner Durham, aided by Lieutenant
O'Brien, building construction expert,
and by Coroner Feinberg.
Late in the afternoon Anthony Colt,
of 422 East Seventy-second Street,
foreman in charge of the cement mix
ing, was arrested.
Inadequate supports for the heavy
10-inch concrete roof are said to have
been named as the cause of the col
lapse at the preliminary investiga-
ton. One building expert who exam
ined the roof soon after the accident
reported that the shorings had been re-
moved before the concrete was hard.
Half of Crew Caught
Because of the rain yesterday only
sixteen men were at work on the new
building. Shortly before IL o'clock the
roof, completed for about three-quar-
ters of the width of the building, began
to topple and slowly sank down, catch
ing eight of the working force in the
debris. The other laborers escaped by
an electric, brick carrier, which was
just starting up when the crash came.
Wendelin Hudec, of 425 East Sew
enty-seventh Street, the man killed,
was under the part which fell first.
An alarm and call for help were sent
in at once, and two hook and ladder
companies, three engine companies and
the rescue squad, under Deputy Chief
Hayes, responded.
The injured are:

Muriel Found Her Kind Father
and Jail Shuts in Professor
That's the Way the Story Ends-Just Like Fiction
but It's True, and Little Dancer Is
Missing from Cafes

patrons Of the resort as much OF her
child's body as the law permitted.
But the inquiries of the Children's
Society worried the professor. He
cancelled his engagement with the
restaurant and departed with his en-
tertainers for Detroit. Muriel went
with them, for her mother had mar
ried again, and she wasn't interested
in her first husbands child.
Detroit and Billy Sunday were en-
PERTAINING each other, however, and
the places which might have accepted
the professors show were shut up.
So he and his troupe came back to
New York, where the agents of the
Children's Society greeted him and
shut him up in the Tombs TO await
trial. They also confiscated his birth
certificates and Muriel, as well as two
other girls of fourteen-Lauretta
OLeary and Pauline Storts. None OF
these Queens of the White Lights was
more than fifteen.
Ends Just Like Fiction
If this were fiction, it would end
with Professor Small being sent to the
City Prison and with Muriel finding
her long-lost father.
And, strangely enough, that's just
how it does end; for MuriePs father
found her at the Children's Society
building yesterday, and the professor
is about to do twenty days in the in
stitution mentioned in the preceding
paragraph. The child will have a good
home and the care which she mas
missed and needed for the last ten
years.
SO that is the end of Muriel's story
AS for Lauretta O'Leary and Pauline
Storts, that is another matter. But
then, this story wasn't about them
anyway.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-24

MurieI Hallock has just found out
who she really is. Part of the time for
the last year she has been Muriel Hal
lock, who through the mist of ten years
vaguely remembered a father who was
kind to her, and recollected far more
wildly a mother who wasn't.
For the rest of the time she was
professor" Joseph Small's.
When she was the professors she
was not even Muriel. For Muriel was
fourteen, and the professor told her
she was sixteen. He impressed this
upon her graphically, one pinch for
each year. He was careful of his
pinches, was the professor. That much
can be said for him, for he never
nipped her flesh where it would show.
Bruises do not appear well upon the
arms of one who each night does dances
in cafe just off Broadway.
Taught to Forget Name
The professor also taught her to for
get that her name was Muriel Hallock.
Instead she was Tillie, or Mary, or
Gladys, or whatever the name was upon
the birth certificate which he cherished.
lie produced this certificate when the
agents of the Children's Society doubt
cd that the girl was sixteen. The docu-
ment asserted that Tillie or Mary or
Gladys was sixteen, and Muriel, prompt
ed by the professor, said that it was
her birth certificate. Then she went
back to yelp her dreary, suggestive
song over again and to display to the
