TICKET SELLER GETS
BATHED With BRANDY
Irate L Patron Throws Liquor Encased
in Bottle.

New York, Jan. GA rather familiar
odor hovered around the tickets sold at
the Forty-sixth street station on the L.
Numerous men who bought them hesitat-
ed when it came to dropping the tickets
In the chopper Many declared the odor
was or rye whisky, while others con-
tended 1t was brandy. Those VINO paused
at the ticket window noticed also that the
same scent was waited from within the
little Office.
A few eyed the young man in the office
rather curiously. Therefore, explanations
are due.
The condition of the tickets and also of
the office, according to the police, was due
to Joseph Arabach, of 635 South FELTON,
street. He arrived at the station early to-
day in somewhat uncertain condition.
William Dougherty, the ticket seller,
realized that slip meant death. He
telephoned to the supervisor. But Ara
bach heard him talking over the phone
and was not elated by the reference made
to himself. To show his disapproval OF
the conversation he tossed a bottle of
whisky through the window, the police
say, Glass crashed about Dougherty as
the whisky bathed his clothing.
Arabach was about to follow the whisky
bottle into the ticket Office when a train
arrived bearing Policeman Johns. He
took Arabach to the Thirty-second street
and Woodland avenue station.
The prisoner said he had only vague
recollection of the whole thing. He PROM
Ised to put a new window in the office
and see that Doughertys clothing was
Put In proper condition. He was held in
bail for further hearing and will be
discharged on keeping his promise.

proceeded. Before the big red sandstone
gate of the cemetery the procession
paused. There, through the ranks of
the marines apd sailors, and preceded
only by the Midshipman Regiment the
Admiral of the Navy was carried to his
last resting place, overlooking the Cap
ital of the Nation which in youth he had
preserved and in midmanhood he had en-
riched and glorifed and which through
out seventy-nine years OF busy, kindly
useful life he had adorned and honored.

At Arlington the funeral procession
wended its way through the oak-lined
paths to the grassy eminence where
stands the simple granite tomb built by
Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles and loaned
for the occasion. Later Admiral Dewey's
body will be removed to new
mausoleum to be built.
President and Mrs. Wilson, the Con-

formed a group about the door Of the

BRAZILIAN SHIP OWNERS
CANCEL ALL DEPARTURES

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 2o.-Allied shipowners
today announced indefinite cancellations,
pending what they believe will be ardent

merce raider. which during the last few
days has paralyzed shipping.

Dutchman" is evidenced by the varying
narratives brought to this and other
South American ports by refugees OF the
vessels sunk.
The raider is said TO have a differing
number of tunnels, but all agree that
she is painted black and there seems to
be evidence of the story told in the Jour
nal Pequeno. of Pernambuco. that she
carried three "one-man" submarines
with which she could sink ships attempt

hostile allied ships OF war.
