A TOAST TO THE FLAG

CBy John jay DAILY, Of the
Vigilantes)
Here's to the Red Of it.
There's not a thread of it,
No, nor thread of it
In all me spread Of it
From foot 70 head
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it.
Precious blood shed for it.
Bathing it Red
Here's to the White of it.
Thrilled by the sight OF it,
Who knows the right Of it
But feels the might Of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it,
Made manhood dare for it,
Puritys prayer for it
Keeps it so White
Here's to the Blue of it
Beauteous view OF it,
Heavenly hue of it,
Star-spangled dew of it,
Constant and true
States stand supreme for it,
Diadems CLEAN for it,
Liberty's beam for it
Brightens the Blue
Here's to the Whole of it,
stars, stripes and pole of it,
Body and soul Of it;
On to the goal of it,
Carry it through.
Home or abroad for it,
Unsheath the sword for it,
Fight in accord for it,
RED. WHITE and BLUE.

ut is really good law and one that
was much needed. Juvenile delin-
auency is much on the increase in this
city. We have eight thousand girls
and boys who have been saved from the
downward path since January 1 by a
little good advice from the police.
Appeal to Parents
"Our method, if we see young boy
or girl who seems to be getting into
bad habits, is to visit the home. If it is
case in which a girl is concerned one
of our women visits the mother. You
know what happens in home if stern
father gets hold of the fact that his
daughter is getting into bad company.
He never helps. We have not had one
case in which a woman has bungled
things by lack of tact.
"The police can be relied upon not to
lay hands on young folks who are going
about their legitimate business The
law provides that offenders against the
curfeW law be taken to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
That makes the policeman's warming eff
fectlve, and is necessary"

Anarchist Gives Up
Liberty for Friend
Convicted Red Surrenders His
Bail So Another Can Be
Free ON THANKSGIVING

Because he believes in the Bolshe.
wiki and because he is anxious to show
that the much boasted of comradeshir
and fellow feeling among the anar.
chists really exists, Jacob Abrams, one
of the Molly Steiner group of espio-
mage act violators, yesterday surren-
dered himself to the Federal authori.
ties so that his bail of $4,000 could be
used to free Hyman Lachowsky, who
was convicted with him and was un-
able to obtain surety.
Abrams sacrificed his freedom so
that his comrade Lachowsky, who is
i'll, may spend Thanksgiving with
friends in Harlem.
Molly Steiner and her six male com
panions were taken in custody six
months ago by the Military Intelli-
gence on charge of printing and cir
culating seditious tooklet. They
were convicted and sentenced to serve
twenty years each at the Atlanta
prison.
They appealed to the United States
Supreme Court, which ruled that the
defendants were entitled to their lib
erty pending the appeal. Lachowsky
was the only member of the group un-
able to furnish bail. The bail of the
others was furnished in Liberty bonds
by the anarchists.

Pratt Admits He
Took Motor Trips
With Mime. Parma
Divorce Suit Defendant AS
serts Relations With Seer
ess Were Purely Platonic

Justice Davis in the Supreme Court
reserved decision yesterday in the di-
vorce suit of Mrs. Katherine Sloan
Pratt against Albert Houghton Pratt,
in which Nine. P. Mildred Parma,
spiritualist and seeress, was named as
correspondent.
Cross examination of Mr.. Pratt by
counsel for his wife adduced much
testimony Of his social relations with
Nine. Parma, which he insisted were
never anything but platonic. Mr.
Pratt said he was believer in her
teachings of the mystic.
As he told the day before, he drew
checks to her for thousands of dollars
some of this money representing the
proceeds from the sale of bonds be-
longing to his wife, which, she says,
her father later had to redeem.
Yesterday he told of trips he made
with Nine. Parma. He also quoted his
wife as saying that her father wished d
her to divorce him and that Mrs.
Pratt's father was ready to support
her and her daughter. She told him,
he said, she would be disnherited if
she continued to live with him.
The names of Princess Lwoff Par
laghy, RUSSIAN portrait painter. and
Mrs. Jack" Gardner, society woman
and art patron of Boston, came into
the case through visits that Mr. Pratt
paid to them Together with Nine.
Parma he went to visit Princess Par
laghy at Tannersvlle, N. Y. The pur-
pose Of the trip, he said, was to dis
cuss with the artist the mortgage
which Nine. Parma held on the art
objects of the Princess for money
loaned. The security for the loans in
cluded a Persian throne rug, which
Princess Parlaghy valued at $4,000
trip to Boston. Mr.. Pratt explained
was to try to sell the Persian rug to
Mrs. Gardner.
Mr.. Pratt said his wife knew that hc
took automobile trips with Nine
Parma.
Counsel for Mrs. Pratt made a
strong plea for decree of divorce
quoting from famous decision of
Justice Gaynor, holding in a divorce
case that strong presumptive proof of
wrongdoing was sufficient.

Court Urges Passage
OF New Tax Lien Laws
Magistrate Appleton Says Leg.
islature Should Protect Ig-
norant Investors

Magistrate Appleton, who has been
presiding over the John Doe investi-
CATION into the sale Of tax liens in
Nassau and Suffolk counties. conclud-
ed his services on the bench yester-
day by making recommendations to the
Legislature to enact new laws to pro-
tect the victims Of tax lien sales and
provide proper supervision over land
development companies to protect the
poor and ignorant realty investors.
In the first place, Magistrate Apple
ton urged provisions whereby every
person, when he files a deed, be re-
quired to have his name and address
attached to the deed, and that the tax
assessors, in making transcripts Of
the deeds, be compelled to take the
name and address Of the owner Of rec
ord. The court also pointed out that
tho tax collector should be compelled
to send notice to the owner Of rec
ord.
Magistrate Appleton said: "Tt seems
20 me it IL the province of the State
Banking Department to take charge Of
these companies, and that the money
paid in by these investors be held BY
the companies, or at least a part Of It,
in trust for the benefit Of those per
sons who pay"
Magistrate Appleton has resigned
from the bench. His place will be
taken to-mokkQw in the municipal term
by mag#e9ate from The Bronx.
Hc"ripgs on the tax lien cases then

Walters Arrange
Big Strike Parade; |
Police Prepared
Both Sides Ready for Any
Eventualities That May
Occur This Morning
By Briggs

The police, as we'll as the members
of the international Hotel Workers
Federation. completed arrangements
yesterday for a big parade of walters
and cooks at ii o'clock to-day, signaliz-
ing general strike in $50 hotels and
restaurants of the city.
The reserves of the West Sixty
eighth Street station have been
ordered to hold themselves ready for
eventualties when the parade starts,
for, although the parade permit
granted the walters forbids the dis
play of red flags, fear is expressed that
elements outside the control of the
union may attempt a Bolshevik demon
stratlon with the parade as an excuse
and rioting may result.
Demands Are Placed
Union leaders sa1d last night that
the demands of the men for increased d
wages had been placed with all the
hotel and restaurant men and those
that do not sign the.new schedule will
be waiterless by IL O'Clock this morn
ing.
Yesterday afternoon the so-called
lobster palaces" in Broadway were
visited by the strike committee Final
meetings of union men to receive re-
plies from employers were held during
the night at the Amsterdam Opera
House, in West Forty-fourth Street.
Otto Wagner, secretary Of the fed
Grafton. said that large defence fund
was being collected and a prolonged
hight was in prospect.
Route of Parade
To-day's parade will form at Colum-
bus Circle and will end at the
Amsterdam Opera House in ratifica-
ton meeting.
The hotel and restaurant men have
not announced their plans for meeting
the conditions which a general strike
of dining room and kitchen employees
would produce.
Thanksgiving Day has been seized
upon by the union leaders as the
psychological time for striking, since
it is recognized as the greatest Ameri-
can festival and usually has been ac-
corded a prominent place on the cal
endars of those who conduct public
dining places.

District Attorney Says No Bar.
gain Will Be Made With
the Convict

Several of the prison associates of
James Regan, the Sing Sing convict
who swears that he and not nineteen
year-old Elizabeth Baksa killed Mrs.
Helen Hamel in her rooming house in
West Twenty third Street last Feb
ruary. will be brought here and ques-
toned closely by District Attorney
Swami. One of these, Louis Rhibard,
who was sentenced in Brooklyn by
Judge McDermott the same day Rcgan
was sent away, is now in Elmira. Two
of his other associates are in Sing
Sing. The trial of the Baksa girl for
murder in the first degree will con-
tinue tomorrow before Judge Rosalsky
in General Sessions.
There is a story in circulation in the
Criminal Courts Building that these
associates are responsible for Regan's
coming between the Baksa girl and a
possible sentence to the electric chair.
Knowing his professed connection with
the Hamel murder, the story runs,
Regan's pals, on hearing Of the girls
plight, presented an ultimatum to
Regan somewhat like this:
Uu kO uOWH 10 NEW OK ana CledT
this girl by telling what you know
about the murder. They will never be
able to convict you on your testimony
and if you don't clear the girl, We'll
demand to be sent down there and
We'll tell what we know about your
connection with the crime"
District Attorney Swami yesterday
reiterated his offer to the Baksa girls
counsel to use Regan as a witness, say
ing he would leave the question of the
convict's veracity to the jury.
"No bargain of any description will
be made with Regan" said Mr. Swami.
after he has testified | shall use my
Judgment as to what further course
shall pursue"
When asked whether the defence
would call Regan, Thomas c. Nc
Donald, of counsel for the Baksa girl,
said:
"There will be conference soon be-
tween Samuel S. Koenig and myself
In all probability Regan will be called
when the trial is resumed on Friday
There are district attorneys-as there
are individuals-who die hard. We
are very much obliged to the District
Attorney for permitting US to call this
witness, but 1 feel impelled to point
out that We can call Regan without the
consent. or approval of the District At

Hundreds of Machine.

New System Discussed
5 Transcontinental
Airways Are Planned
Fliers Discharged From
Army and Navy to Form
Personnel of Service

National aerial mail service became
an assured fact yesterday. The expert
mental stage is now passed.
Captain Benjamin b. Lpsner, di-
rector of the service. announced yester-
day that the government had turned
over to his use hundreds Of aeroplanes
The exact number Will not be known
for several days.
Work of charting fifty new air mai
routes will be started at once and by
next spring all will have been opened
The New York Chicago route, already
tried as an experiment, will be the first
to be put into operation.
In connection with his announcement
Captain Lipsner said several circum-
stances had led to its being made at
this time. Of chief consideration was
the fact that hundreds Of skilled avi-
ators are about to be released from the
army. Unless there is an Immediate
opening for them they will naturally
months of training they have gone
through will be wasted.
Eight Routes Suggested
AS the first step in the development
of the air mail service the Aero Club
of America is planning to establish
eight continental airways. Five are to
be transcontinental and three will fol-
low the coasts.
The first is to be known as the Wood
row Wilson Airway. 1t will form al
most a straight line from New York to
San Francisco, touching at Cleveland,
Toledo, Chicago and other important
cities
A second route, to be known as the
Wright Brothers Airway, will describe
something approximating an arc be-
tween Washington and San Antonio,
Tex. The third, known as the Langley
Airway, will start at Philadelphia and
after passing through Pittsburgh, Co
lumbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, st. Louis
and Kansas City will end at Santa Bar
bara, Cal
Will Reduce Rates
Just how many aeroplanes are now
available in this country for air mail
service, Captain Lipsner would not say.
A member of the Aero Club of America
vas authority for the statement that
more than 500 machines could be sent
into the air Immediately and that mum
Der could be doubled within few
weeks.
One of the first steps, it was said
the air mail would be reduction in
the present postage rates for that ser
vice. Under prevailing conditions, the
rates are necessarily high and as re-
suit the service is still considered more
ir the light of toy than a great ma
tional institution, destined to rival the
s-continental railroad system.
