Higher Cafe Prices

Broadway hadn't decided yesterday
Just what effect national prohibition,
which becomes effective July /, 1919,
would have upon it, but the general i'm
preston prevailed it would mean an in
crease in prices all around, more elabo-
rate cabarets and lots of new and high
priced soft drinks.

serving food" said James Thompson,
Paul Salvin's partner in Rector's and
the Palais Royale. eve probably shall
turn our grand ballroom into a cafe

other dining rooms. The Palas Royale
we shall most likely turn into Con-

Similar views were expressed by
Charles Somlo, manager Of the Pekin,
who said:
eve will spend more money on en-
tertainment and we have got to raise
the money some way. Of course, it will
be an experiment. The big question
with US is: Win the public stand for

during the war. Stations formerly

Women Advised to
Don Deep Mourning
At Wreck Hearings
Sister of. Victims Also
Urges All Relatives to Sit
Near B. r. T. Head

Miss Lillian Murphy, of 1927 Home
crest Avenue, Brooklyn, one of whose
sisters was killed and another injured
in the B. r. T. wreck of November 1,
urged other women relatives of victims
yesterday to don deepest mourning and
seat themselves near Timothy S. Will
Jams, president Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system, at every hearing in the
wreck inquiry.
She made the suggestion at a meet
ing of friends and relatives of victims
of the wreck held at Public School 1853
Homecrest Avenue and Avenue T.,
Brooklyn, for purposes of organization
About 100 persons were present, more
than half of them women and many of
them in black.
"Mr. Williams has protested" said
Miss Murphy, "at the presence of
back-robed fearful figures in such
numbers at these hearings. There are
not so many of us here to- day as there
will be at later meetings, when our

who are here to carry the suggestion to
their friends, that we who have suf-
fered grievously through the misman-
agement of the B. r. T. bring home our
grief to Mr.. W .lliams.
Let US forego Jne solitude that sor-
row urges; let US robe and swathe our
selves in deepest mourning; let US 90

and let US find seats as near as may
be possible to that occupied by Timothy
5. Williams. Let us remind him every
moment OF the homes that were desc
lated by that wreck OH his road and
remind the public that measures must
be taken that no such wreck ever may
occur again"
Joseph +. Griffin, principal of Public
School ia, who was elected temporary
chairman. said the object of the or
ganization would be to fix RESPONSE
hillty and to devise means by legisla-
tion or otherwise of preventing such
accidents. While the inquiry was on,
he said, the organization would be vigi-
liant to see that scapegoat methods are
not invoked, that the man responsible
for putting a green motorman on the
train be found and held and the officers
in more responsible positions shall not
escape. An executive committee of

Jewish Fund Appeal
Made by Warburg
In $5,ooo,ooO Drive
War Sufferers Need Tools
and Supplies to Start
Life Over Again
Winter Hardship Near
Campaign Will Be Carried
Into Every City in ". S.,
Leaders Declare

Plans for raising $5,000,000 in this
city for the relief of Jewish war suf-
ferers were outlined last night by
Felix M. Warburg at dinner in the
Central Opera House. The dinner was
held under the auspices Of the Peo-
pies Relief Committee, one of the
three organizations cooperating in the
proposed campaign.
Alexander Kahn, who presided, said
that heretofore funds for Jewish relief
were devoted to the purpose Of keep
ing the stricken jews in warridden
lands alive and clothed. This latest
drive, however, will, he said, be for
the purpose cf rehabiitating the jew
ish peoples in the war zones. The fund
will supply them with tools and other
necessities to begin life again.
Mr.. Warburg in ms address deplored
the scarcity of news from Poland and
Russia.
"Through Mr.. Hoover's Office" he
said, eve hope to hear what conditions
are, but we do know that soon winter
will be here and much hardship will be
upon them over there.
"For the next six months the suffer
ing will be terrible. We low shoes
cannot be bought and that Clothes are
hard to get. Now, do we have to wait
for further news before getting ahead
with our relief work? 1t depends upon
you how far we can go with this relief.
"The Jew, when approached, will con-
tribute without the street crier-with-
out everybody having to be told about
it. You who represent the producing
part of Jewry will have the duty of see
ing that the people do their best.
For the United War Work Cam
paign, before they are through, children
under fifteen will have given over q
million. We will not make a school
children's campaign, but it is up to the
oldest and the youngest to do his best.
This will not be a campaign where the
big givers are to get their names in the
newspapers; but it will be a campaign
where the plain people will be on a
plane with everybody else, and I ex
pect to see the funds go over the top"
Other speakers included Abraham
Cahan, Sholan Ash, Jacob Panken, Max
Pine, Joseph Schlossberg, J. Baskin and

Broadway Maze Too
Much for Trench Pup
THE mazes of Broadway nea,

THE mazes of Broadway near
l. Forty-fifth Street proved too
much Friday night for Bobbie, a
nine months old French bulldog
born in No Mans Land and accus-
toned to life in the trenches, so
that when his master, Trooper
Barney Harding, Of the 4th Cana
dian Mounted Rifles, walked ahead
of him bit too fast, the little dog
lost his way and disappeared.
Trooper Harding, who is vet
eran of battles at Messines, Vimy
Ridge and Ypres, and has been
wounded fifteen times, asks that
the dog be returned to him if
found. Bobbie is a brindle pup,
with no marking, except that his
face is darker than his body. He
wore a soft leather collar, with no
name. 1t is thought he may have
followed soldier.
Any one who finds him is asked
to notify John Macpherson, 440
Riverside Drive, or 8 Beach Street,
who will be in touch with Trooper
Harding.

Newsdealers DENY
Hearst Report of
Ending of Strike
Association Heads Say the
Fight on Publisher Is
Nearing Victory

j. Benjamin Marcus, president of the
New York Newsdealers' and Stationers'
Protective and Benevolent Association,
Inc, has issued a notice warning mem
bers not to be deceived by an attempt
of the Hearst organization to make it
let up on Hearst and his allies in the
Publishers Association.
The notice is in reply to statements,
purportng to issue from an officer of
the organization, calling off the fight
on Hearst and pretending to read out
of the association its duly elected off,
GERS.
Trick Is Exposed
"This," said Mr.. Marcus, ais a bald
faced attempt to steal not only the
as we'll.
"It will deceive nobody except those
that wish to be deceived and, if per-
sisted in, will land somebody in the
courts. The Hearst crowd might be
within the law in setting up dummy
organization to try to becloud the stu
alton, but it is entirely another matter
to take the name Of legally organized
association and attempt, without the
consent of its members and officers, to
make it appear that Hearst has made
his peace with the trade.
"There will be no peace with him
until he and his associates decide to
give the newsdealers the square deal to
which they are entitled. That we are
coming nearer to that peace is proved
by the fact that the Hearst crowd
feels compelled to resort to such
tricks"
Outsider Is Blamed
According to Joseph A. Sultan, head
of the United Ncwsdealers and Sta
TONERS Protective Association, Inc,
tho newly formed central body for the
metropolitan district, the attempt to
make it appear that the New York as
sociation is friendly with Hearst is
made in the name of man who at no
time has been member Of the body
TO prove that the campaign of the
vendors against "The New York Ameri-
can" and "The Evening Journal" is
gaming SlTenBtH, AnureW StduCOn,
president of the Newsboys' Union, an
nourced yesterday that another labor
union had indorsed their strike and
offered the assistance of it's members.
The American Brotherhood of Black
smiths, meeting in the World Building,
unanimously voted to back up the news
boys claims and adopted a resolution
pledging the moral support of the body.
Resolutions Adopted
Whereas, The newsboys of the City
of New York, in their desire to i'm
prove their living conditions, have
asked the publishers of the daily
papers of the city to grant them o
larger profit. and
Whereas, The newsboys contend
that their request was refused them
because of the influence of the pub
Usher of the New York American"
and the Evening Journal" which
papers, they further claim, they are
being forced tc carry, although a
large part Of the public will not buy
them for patriotic reasons, and
Whereas, The newsboys have
struck against these papers to OBJ
tain their worthy ends. therefore
be it
Resolved, That the American
Brotherhood of Backsmiths in.
dorses the strike of the newsboys of
the greater city for a decent living,
and as a loyal labor body, assures
them of its moral assistance.
