Flushing Citizens

A citizens committee was formed
yesterday in Flushing, Queens, to in
vestigate the case of Louis C. Master,
real estate dealer, on whom Police
td.,tain Frank Peabody served sum-
~e-4s because he hung out banner
s..scribed 81 Do Not Read the Hearst
Newspapers Mr.. Master will appear
in the police court to-day, the charge
made by Captain Peabody being that
Mr.. Masters had no license for the
banner which projected over the side
walk.
Counsel has been retained by the
committee, and will be present. The
committee is especially anxious to
learn whether the complaint was
made by Hearst employe or by the
patrolman on post. From what has
been learned concerning the serving
of the summons by Captain Peabody,
there were certain unusual features
connected with the incident
Ordinarily in sach cases a violation
of the ordinance prohibiting the eX-
tension of signs over the sidewalk
without permit is noted by the
patrolman on post, who makes a re-
port al the police station. In due
course sergeant or patrolman is sent
cut to inform the offender that he
must OBTAIN permit, and generally a
time allowance of twenty-four hours
is given TO remove the sign or obtain
the permit.
In the case of MIR Master neither
patro!man nor sergeant appeared with
warning. Instead Captain Peabody,
commander of the precinct, strobe to
Mr.. Masters Office, reinforced by a
patrolman, whom he ordered to serve
the summons. No resistance was made
by MIR. Masters and Captain Peabody
and his guard departed

Conference
Will Watch Hearst

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 7.-If the
upstate Democrats at their conference
on Tuesday can agree upon a candj-
date for Governor it will be all over.
The Saratoga convention will merely
agree to q platform and unanimously
suggest to the Democrats the avail
ability of the Syracuse choice.
This is what supposedly we'll in
formerd men who are to participate in
the conference are saying to-day. Some
OF the conferrees have arrived and are
getting ready for what they believe
WA be an interesting fight. They say
that they have the word of Charles
r. Murphy that their candidate, who
ever he may be, will be acceptable to
Tammany.
They have no doubt of Murphys sim
cerity, they say. but they have con-
siderable anxiety on the score of their
own ability to agree upon a candidate
Moreover, it is said that Hearst is
scheming to prevent an agreement
with view to showing at what he con
slders the psychological moment how
available he is. 1t can be said. how
ever, that the Upstate conferees will
Iolerate no interference from the New
taDAietici' open reputation of
Hearst is threatened by some should

manipulate the conference.
But where is the man? This ;s a
question which must be answered snd

This is said to be the ultimatum of

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 7.-Three
persons were killed to-day in two
pitched battles between officers and
twenty five or more alleged deserters
and their supporters in woods eight
miles west of Heber Springs, Ark.
Camp Pike has been asked to furnish
soldiers to aid in the man hunt.
The dead are: Porter Hazelwood. a
chauffeur; Tom Atkinson, aged 55, and
his son, aged 18.
The first fight took place early this
morning at the Atkinson home where,
it is alleged, draft registers have been
harbored.
Sheriff X. W. Duke, of Cleburne
county, had received information that
several men at the house were wanted
for failure to report when drafted. and,
accompanied by five deputies and Haz-
elwood, went there to arrest them.
called to those within to surrender. A
volley of shots was the reply. Hazel
wood fell dead.
The sheriff called off his men and
sent for reinforcements. About noon,
the sheriff led u second attack upon
the house.
The alleged resisters also had been
reinforced and had taken up positions
in trees and in deep ravine, from
which they opened fire with rifles. The
posse returned the fire, and Atkinson
and his son were killed.
Following the fall Of the Atkinsons,
members of the band separated quickly
and escaped. The officers pursued them
until darkness. 1t is believed that
there are thirty men in the band, and
that they are we'll armed and supplied
with ammunition.
Officials at Heber Springs to-day ap
pealed to Governor Charles Brough for
military assistance. and the Governor
arranged to send fifty soldiers from
Camp Pipe, armed with machine guns,
to hunt down the alleged draft evaders
and their sympathizers. The troops
should reach the scene tomorrow

Footpad's Blow Too Weak
Negro Captured After Pursuit
Over Housetops

An unworkmanlike negro footpad
struck Patrick Dealy a blow on the
head that failed to stun him early yes
terday morning as he was entering his
home, at 3S5 Lenox Avenue. Dealy
grappled with his assailant and yelled
for the police. The negro broke loose
and ran into house at 1853 West 129th
Street, with Patrolmen Barry and Nc
Andrews in pursuit.
When the patrolmen reached the
roof of the four story building q
negro had leaped to the slightly lower
roof of the building on the east. They
followed, firing their revolvers, and the
chase led across roofs to 139 West
12sth Street, where the fugitive. ap-
parently thinking that there was fire
escape in the rear, flung himself over
the edge of the roof and crashed head
long to the yard
He was taken to Harlem Hospital,
under arrest. He said he was John
Christopher Bennett and that he had
been to a party on Lenox Avenue. He
said he had nothing to do with the at
tack upon Dealy and had run because
he was scared. The two patrolmen isi-
dorsed the latter explanation.

Woman Teacher
Kills Herself i'm
High School Annex
Body Is Found With Re-
volver and Knife by Her
Side; Gas Turned On

After having been absent all night
from her home, which she had left at
10 o'clock Saturday evening to board
the Brighton Beach elevated, Miss
Emily Boole, thirty years old, teacher
in the Manual Training High School
Annex, Brooklyn, was found yesterday
morning dead from asphyxiation in a
the school building.
How she gained entrance to the
building, which had been locked since
noon Saturday, has not been deter
mined. She was found by the ianitor,
William Steward, of 531 Vanderbilt
Street, on his morning rounds. Led by
the odor of gas, Steward found Miss
Boole lying on a couch, with the win
dows closed and the door to the room
sealed with paper Two gas Jets Of a
small cooking stove. used by the teach
ers in making luncheon, were open.
By the school teachers side lay load
ed revolver and small stiletto
Mrs. Ella Boole, mother of the dead
woman, with whom she lived at 1929
Avenue II, identified the stiletto as her
daughters paper knife. A note which
said please notify my mother" was
found also. Mrs. Boole said that sew
eral years of almost incessant insom-
MIA, following an attack Of typhoid
fever contracted in Spain several years
ago, had probably caused the depres-
sion which prompted the suicide. A
physician who was called said the
teacher had been dead about two hours
when found.
1t is thought that the teacher went
to Prospect Park during the night with
the revolver and the stiletto, and that
she became nervous and made her way
to the school. The building is sur
rounded by high iron fence with large
gates, which were closed.
There is small aperture between
two buildings in the rear. and as Miss
Boole was small and slight it is thought
She may have entered iu that WAY

FOR SUBWAY RELIEF.

TEA MAN wants to pour a gallon Of water through a pint funnel
without spGGng any, does he turn it in all at once or a pint
- at time2
Compared with the crowds Of people who try to pour themselves
into and through it all at once at certain hours each day, the subway
is only a very moderatc-szed funnel.
At the rate the city grows, even new subway lines can never prove
%srfcicnt to take the flood tide OF traffic at brief, given moments
recurring twice each twentyfour hours. and rush the full volume OF
The current through without danger or discomfort.
TO set out to solve the problem of subway congestion by demand
ing everything from the subways and nothing from the public is to
arrive nowhere.
That is why The Evening Worlds plan to relieve the present in
lolerabe overcrowding Of the subway at rush hours by dividing tho
business part Of Manhattan into zones and allowing some fifteen min
utes' leeway between morning arrivals and between evening home
goings of workers in these respective zones, is the most practical,
rommonsense proposal yot mndo TO lessen one Of New Yorks worst
dscomforts. The plan provides a means whereby the public can
Ldp itself.
Public Service Commissioner Travis II. Whitney Endorses The
Evening Worlds zone solution for the problem Of subway congestion
and declares that business interests and business associations should
ts quick to lend their aid in putting it into operation:
Department stores should arrange their opening and closing
hours differently and should not have their bargain sales It q
time of day wher those who wish to purchase will crowd the
subway trains. Comprehensive and cooperative effort IN the
transportation facilities without tho expenditure of a cent
The Encouragement Of hours OF work either by casses "
territory would be the answer.
Here are the facts: There is a definite limit to the utmost extent
20 which subway facilities can be worked. That limit falls far short
Of the requirements put upon them at hours when practically all
regular subway users ask to be carried at once.
These facts being recognized, why shouldn't the component ele,
ments of an intelligent community like New York cooperate to adjust
the heaviest part of the load put upon the subway in such manner
that it can be carried without the present daily maximum of suffering
md annoyance?

SIGNED o. RUSSIA.

n VOW the official announcement from Russia that the Bolshevik
- Government has "becn forced" to sign a peace agreement on
= Germany terms will further increase tho sympathy felt
among the Allies for Mcssrs. Trozky and Lenine, those sterling
patriots who have done for Russia until they could do no morei
When Trotzky the other day declared that Russian forces would
resist invasion by the Germans he no doubt wished TO make it clear
the Bolshcviki would give no last step backward unless somebody came
and pushed them.
Maybe now we shall see a Great Russia shrnkingly confide itself
70 German protection with the hope that it will come in for "a many
OF the Imperial smiles as the Ukraine. Bolsheviki and Germans can
march arm in arm to spread peace and plenty TO parts of Russia
whero these blessings have not yet penetrated.
AS to Trotzky and Lenine, History will have TO sift the evidence
and decide whether they have been victims Of Imperial German
diplomacy or two doublc-dcaing u%ccomphccs Of that diplomacy, who
.avo helped to steer a disrupted Russia out Of the war and on the
rocks where Germany can salvage or plumber it, as may prove the
more advantageous.
If the retention OF Poland, Lithuania, Riga and Moon Island, and
the collection Of a $4,000, 100000 indemnity, turn out to be in truth
part of the accepted German peace terms, Berlin can foot up the
results of the Russian manoeuvre with no little satisfaction.
