Pictures of Alfred Cocehi, the me-
chanic who vanished after his name had
been associated with the disappear
ance OF Ruth Cruger, were sent broad
cast yesterday by detectives in an ef-
fort TO find the missing Italian.

acquaintance.
The police learned that Cocchi dis

eession Just before she left her hons
on the errand from which she never
returned.
The first call was made between 1901
and / :09 p. m. on Tuesday to the home
Of Miss Rosalind Ware. OF 1l6 West
129th Street, student of Wadlelgh
High School and Ruth's closest girl
friend.
The second call was made at 1:10 p.
M. and ended at I'LL to the Kappa
Sigma fraternity house, at 225l Unlver-
sity Avenue, The Bronx. Here Ruth
asked for Seymour Many, New YORK
University student, frequent caller
at the Cruger home.
The girl left the house at 1880, WEI
to Cocehi's shop, obtained her skates,
and there all trace OF her has been lost.
Henry d. Cruger, the girls father.

house as follows:
"Why, Ruth was just calling up a
boy she has known for years. They
made an engagement to go skating on
Thursday. Ruth couldn't have elopedi

elope with
II was Mrs. l.. A. Ware. Rosalind's
mother, who supplied the name OF
Many. Harold Buse. a classmate. who
said he was a mutual friend OF Many
and Miss Cruger. said he remembered
the telephone call on Tuesday.
Went to Dances Often
Seymour was not in at the time,
said Buse, land so Ruth hung up right
away. Ruth was mighty fine girl, and
am sure she has not run off with
any one. She came here TO dances
often, and was popular. She always APP
peared here with Seymour"
It was learned that Many was down
town on Tuesday afternoon, and that
night took part in an athletic contest
at Madison Square Garden.
Mrs. Ware said her daughter was at
school at the time the telephone record
shows Ruth called the Ware house

There are too many Golitsins in Rus
STA. The Prince Golitzin originally re-
ported 20 have been appointed By the
Gear as the successor 10 Premier Trepoh
was Dmitri Petroviteh Golitzin. The
progressive and active Prince Alexander
Golitzin was next reported as the prob
able holder Of the Premier's Office. Now
comes the authentic information that
the Russian Prime Minister is really
the Prince Nikolsi Dmitroviteh Golitzin.
4 bureaucrat Of the old school. since
1908 retired from active political life,
the present Russian Premier comes TO
Russia as a reminder of q long past
period Of history.
A man who had not figured in any
capacity in Russian life during the last
thirteen years, undoubtedly the most
momentous and tempestuous years III
Russia's annals since the days Of Peter
the Great, was not the kind OF a man
Russian democracy wanted 10 see at the
head of the government in tho course
of the most vital war in human history.
Held Three Governorships
Nikolai Dmitrovitch Golitzin was
born in 1860. He was Governor of
Archangelsk in 1856. In 1898 he was APP
pointed Governor OF Kalugs and in 1897
Of Tver. Prince Golitzin is a typical
Russian tchinovnk. His career, which
had nothing brilliant about il, was
closed temporarily in 1903, when he was
appointed to the Senate for life.
IL was with establishment that Russia
suddenly perceived the long forgotten
figure rising TO the most important post
in the empire. The explanation of this
strange event was soon apparent
Golitzin was to be the nominal Pro-
mier. The real ruler OF Russia is Minis.
ter Of Interior Protopopoff.
There are signs, however, indicating
that the latter's position is already get
ting weaker. One OF these is the ap-
pointment of Sergius Sszonoff, the ex-
Foreign Minister, to the post Of AM
bassador TO Great Britain.

NAUTICAL SCHOOL ALUMNI
HEAR SEA LAW SCORED
! Plea for Increased Facilities Made at
Thirteenth Annual Banquet

A plea for increased facilities at the
New York Nautical School was made by
the speakers last night at the thir-
teenth annual dinner of the alumni as
socistion.
The dinner was held at the Hotel
Majestic, and among the guests were
Commodore c. II. Matthews and Cap
tain G. c. Hamus. both u. S. ~, re
tired, and captains on the stats of
several steamship lines out OF New
York.
The speakers list included Commo-
dors J. W. Miller, chairman OF the
board of directors; Frederick 5. Nc
Murray, superintendent OF the school;
Montague Lessler, general counsel Of
the Marine Society, and Joseph Nor
rell, president Of the Marine Exchange.
The La Toilette sesmen's law was
scored because Of its restrictions on
the development Of an American mer-
chant marine. Mr.. Morrell said the
great weakness of the naval militia was
the fact that none OF the men have
experienced life at sea"
Commodore Miller favored the ap-
pointment of committee OF three &c

Chief Is Most Severe of
Magistrates, 1916 Re-
port Shows
.DOOLEY HOLDS
LENIENCY RECORD
MASKING Easiest Charge
to Dodge - Speeders
Seldom Escape

Chief Magistrate NcAdoo convicted
every prisoner brought before him
charged with intoxication during 1916.
On the other hand, Magistrate Corrigan
set free all but 2s.6 per cent of those
arraigned in his court on the same
complaint.
This and other information concern
ing the city magistrates attitudes
toward various petty offences is con-
tanned in the report issued from the
Chief Magistrates Office yesterday.
Magistrates in general, the report
shows, are much more severe upon tho
offending sutomobilist than upon the
alcoholic. Magistrate Walsh, who con-
victed fewer speeders than any Of his
colleagues, imposed sentence upon 1852
per cent of the cases which appeared
before him. The CHIEF Magistrate
found 100 per cent guilty.
OF all the magistrates IN the city,
Magistrate rockingham ~, according
to figures, the most severe. He dis
missed during the last year but 81 pee
cent of all the cases brought before
him. Magistrate Levy discharged s.3
per cent; Magistrate Simms, 100 per
cent; Magistrate Dodd, 1Os, and Mag
istrate Koenig, ll.2.
Most Lenient Magistrate
Magistrate Dooley, according to the
report, discharged 1874 per cent OF his
cases. This is the record for lenlency.
MASKING, the report shows, is the
easiest offence to dodge, and cruelty to
animals is the most difficult.
Disorderly conduct and vagrancy
rank Just below MASKING in offering
possibility for escaping punishment,
but speeding stands just above cruelty

sentence. Only Al per cent OF the
speeders arraigned in all the msgis-
trates' courts during the year were DIS
charged.
posed of through the magistrates
courts. The men brought up as Of
tenders numbered 15l,11S; the women,
24674. The total convictions were
1925. or 84.4 per cent
Speaking of the viewpoints from
which magistrates look at offences,
Magistrate McAdoo says in the report
different scales Of justice exist IN
the city magistrates courts. Cases are
frequently disposed Of according to the
opinions and sentiments Of the partlc-
uiar one OF the thirty-nine magistrates
who happens TO be presiding over
given court. Moods and meditatonS
affect the administration Of justice in
these courts
Suggestions for Uniformity
The following means OF gaining
greater uniformity OF administration
of the law in the magistrates courts
are suggested in the report:
Adoption of uniform policy Tor all
magistrates by a majority vote OF the
entire body of magistrates.
Enactment of laws compelling Judges
TO impose exact and specified sentences
upon conviction on second or later OF
fences.
Enlargement Of the indeterminats

Commission, which would adhere TO its

LAID TO PARKING
District Bounded by 34th,
18th Sts., 9Th and 9TH
AveS., Seeks Relief

The crosstown traffic congestion in
the district bounded by Thirty-fourth
and Forty-sixth Street and Fifth and
Sixth Avenue, could be reduced by half
if vehicles were not permitted to park
along the curbs. This is the opinion of
the Fifth Avenue Association, which has
been investigating the choked condition
Of these streets.
Each Of these streets" the report Of
the association says, "can accommodate
easily four lines of moving vehicles.
Owing, however, to the fact that every
one Of these streets has got line Of
vehicles constantly standing at the
curb, there is only room for two We
hicles TO pass each other"
All Glasses Represented
The cars and wagons which thus block
the crosstown streets are both CONNER
cial and private. Shoppers, express
men, delivery wagons and trucks of all
sizes stand for hours in the streets
during the rush hours OF the day, the
report of the association says, and
compress the east and west bound trsf-
fc into slowly moving files.
There is no proper handling Of the
loading and unloading" the report con-
tinues. Firms doing business on
these streets will allow their trucks to
stand for hours. Other trucks that
come 10 deliver will stand from half an
hour TO two hours and half before
they get away. The express companies,
small and big, are especially large Of
tenders. The usual ming is that an
express wagon will drive up anywhere
il can find space and stand there for
hours at a stretch while the driver
goes about in various buildings get
ting packages and doing his book
keeping in the street"
