HOUSEKEEPING APARTMENTS

PH1LA BUILDER
OF wide experience could not find any apart
ment quite meeting his eXaCting require
ments for his own homo--so he built a
small and quito perfect apartment house,
Kept all the space he desired for his own
needs and has some left over one suite Of
two rooms, kitchen and bath; one Of ,hree
rooms, kitchen and bath. and one Of five
rooms. kitchen and bath--that is all. and
when they are zone there will not soon
again be anything like them
They are, Of course, desirable. beautiful
and unusual in the eytreme-if YOU would
come and sec them you would admit that
the prices--from 500 to $3.50 per month
are mighty small barrier in the way OF
securing beautiful a home place; that is.
for those fortunate persons Of discrimination
who appreciate that cost Is secondary when
ones requirements are perfectly fulfilled.
These apartments arc located at 3t4 $.

traitor, at Delmonicos yesterday to
show that it is possible to live with
out meat, wheat, fat or sugar. The
meal was prepared by Miss Anne

pany. Saccharine took the place of
sugar acd roast capon and eggs wers

The Food Council, an organization of
volunteers, which is affiliated with the
Federal Food Board, 220 West Fifty
seventh Street, yesterday adopted reso-
lutions urging that the city authorities
proceed at once to sell food to the pub
lie. The council suggested that local
agencies for the selling of food at
cost be established in all sections of
the city "in order that the prices of
staple foods be kept at a more even
level"

nue., wholesale grocer, was found

Shot Policeman in
Defence, Boys s Plea
Patrolman Fired First, Will Be
Defendants Testimony in
Stivers Trial TODAY

George stivers, the nineteen-year-
old boy who. itsis alleged, shot and
killed Patrolman George Cunningham
when Cunningham tried to arrest him
for stealing an automobile in which
Stivers was cloping with fourteen-year-
old Maybelle De Latte, will plead self
defence when he takes the stand before
Judge Mcintyre in General Sessions
to-day. He will testify that Cunning
ham fired the first shot. His counsel,
Robert Moore, will also introduce med
ical evidence to show that Cunningham
died Of pneumonia and not rs the re-
suit of the bullet wound INFLICTED by
Stivers.
Stivers is indicted for prenfeditated
murder, which may send him to the
chair. The law says that defendant
implicated in felony during the COM
mission of which murder occurs is
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Stivers has. admitted that he stole the
car from which he jumped when he
shot Cunningham. The question which
Judge Mcintyre, in charging the Jury.
will have to decide will be whether the
felony commission had ceased or was
still in progress when the shot was
fired.

Soldiers Dependents
To Get Checks Feb. Is
Wrong Addresses and lncom.
plete Information Delay
Many Payments

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Secretary
McAdoo reported to the Senate to-day
that checks due dependents of soldiers
and sailors under the war risk act in
November and December have been sent
and that those due in January will
have been mailed out by February 49,.
The report was in response to resolu-
tion offered by Senator Hitchcock, of
the Senate Military Committee, who
said complaints had been received that
the checks had not been mailed.
The Secretary's report showed that,
as has been announced previously, more
than half of all applications for COM
pcnsaton for dependents came from
men who were found to have no de-
pendents, and in such cases no allot-
ments were made. There were 100000
such cases out Of 1,170,45s applications.
Awards were made in 100000 cases, the
checks for November and December
totalling 6,5O0,o00.
In $4,000 cases, Mr.. McAdoo said,
payment has been made impossible be-
cause of incomplete information fur
nished in the applications, while 10000
checks have not been delivered owing
to lack of proper addresses being given.

Testihes His Department
Surpassed His Fellows

Miss Mary Kelly, a former teacher in
Public School SO, in Brooklyn, testified
yesterday in the Kings County Supreme
Court that Paul Chapman, sixteen
years old, who is on trial there for his
life, had been an alert and obedient
pupil. 1t was her recollection that the
accused murderer had surpassed his
fellows in the classroom in his studies
and department.
Chapman, who is said to be the
youngest defendant ever implicated in
a murder trial in Brooklyn, listened to
her testimony alphabetically, as he has
to the rest of the evidence introduced.
The charge against him is the murder
Of Harry Regensberg, of 636 Park
Place, Brooklyn, who was shot by burg
lars, with his brother Louis. The burg
glars, of whom there were three, seri-
ously wounded Mrs. Harry Regensberg.
One of the suspected burglars was
killed in a pistol battle with a police
man. The third suspect, Leo. David,

In Ending Fraud
District Attorney Tells Ro-

Refused When Wanted

I'm my work as District Attorney I
find the assistance of the press the
greatest aid l have" said District At
torney Swami, speaking or the work Of
the country prosecutor before the Ro-
tarians at the Hotel McAlpin yesterday.
"ot all of the papers in New York
that have given me aid and assistance
IN my work as public prosecutor, the
one that has given me the most is n
paper that has always opposed me po-
l1tically. | refer to The Tribune.
Though it has never overlooked an op-
portunity to oppose me politically. it is
always ready to assist me as District
Attorney, and l haven't the slightest
hesitation when case of crooked adj
vertising is reported to my Office in
calling up The Tribune and asking for
its assistance, for l know that l will
get it quickly and efficiently
You know that l have but one de-
tectlve assigned to my Office for ordi-

crook is advertising the impossible /
just call up The Tribune, one of it's
men is assigned to work with my man.,
and, acting, you might say, as q peace
officer of the county, The Tribune man
goes along, grabbing the crook, who
may be operating with gun, and locks
him up.
"No statement of what the office is
doing would be complete without my
public acknowledgement of the debt
owed The Tribune Bureau of Investi.

Mr.: Swami, in the course of his
speech referring to the charges made
against him by the City Club and his
subsequent vindication, expressed the

be more careful in making its charges

of Thomas Mott Osborne to be fail

"Mr Osborne" said he, "thought he
had new way of reforming criminals

a public meeting at the home of Mrs
A. Barton Hepburn, $50 Park Avenue
yesterday afternoon. Miss Helen
Fraser, of England. and Mrs. Mary F.
Padden, executive secretary of Inwood
House, spoke.
Work among girls of this class as a
wartime necessity was urged by Miss
Fraser, who said that England had
found it absolutely necessary to protect
the girls of the country
IF you protect the girls you protect
the men," said Miss Fraser, "and we've
got to look out for both. It's woman's
job; it's one of the things we can do
best. Soldiers go to war with a feeling
OF recklessness that we have to over
come, and We must see that our girls
do not have this same reckless spirit" )"
Miss Sara G. Douglas is the new
superintendent of Inwood House. She
has recently been police officer doing
work with girls and soldiers in camps,
parks and armories. Judge William
McAdoo presided at yesterdays meet
