Make Startling Discovery
When They Search Brook
lyn Lots for a Cask

Arnold Salina, Edward Hallcnbeck
and Bernard jacobson, three boys who
were playing last night in vacant
lot in Forty fifth Street, Brooklyn,
needed barrel. With infinite conf
dence in the resources Of vacant lots,
they began search for one, led by
Arnold, who had hazy recollection
Of having seen one somewhere on which
he had drummed tattoo while waiting
for his companions.
They found the barrel. 1t was lying
at the foot Of little declivity, as
though it had rolled from the spot
where it had been thrown. The boys
put their shoulders to it and tried to
roll it back to where they wanted it,
The barrel was too heavy. There was
something inside which caused the
sacking tied over the top to bulge out
Ripping off the sacking Arnold thrust
his hand inside. He withdrew it hast

stiletto wounds pierced his chest, his
nose was slit and his face had beer

Dr. Edward l.. Martin, Medical In

the Fourth Avenue police station, said

His record at Headqartuers showed
half a dozen arrests in this city, Bos-

only conviction against him was of dis

police his speciality was the "handker-

Would Discharge
Troops Gradually

The Central Federated Union adopted
an after-War reconstruction programme
last night advocating the extension of
government activities and the retention
of soldiers in the service until industry
vas capable of providing work for
them.
Women's pay in industry should be
the same as that of men employed at
the same work, the organization de-
clared. 1t put itself down also as in
favor Of the national woman suffrage
amendment.
In holding soldiers in service, The
Central Federated Union said, the gov
ernment should give them flair
amount for sustenance," in addition to
their pay, and discharge first the skilled
workmen
Plans for the reeducation industrially
of wounded soldiers and sailors should
be adopted, the Central Federated
Union said. in accordance with the nro-
visions of the Smith Sears act. 1t rec
ommended the abolition of private en-
ployment agencies and the extension of
the United States Employment Service
to cover that field completely
There should be no thought, it de-
clared, Of returning public utilities to
private ownership. It also would con-
tinue the Federal food administration
and have it fix prices, Wholesale and

Judge Chatfield, in his charge, re-
viewed the testimony and pointed out
the law which defined conspiracy. At
5:4o O'Clock, the jury asked for further
instructions Is to whether conspiracy

criminal act.
The case was one of the hardest of
many conspiracy cases the government

Clubs Sorely Beset by War
View Peace as a Lifesave1
Membership Lists and Revenues Low Ebb Because o
Number of Men in Service-Bar Trade
Also Falls OF Heavily

Peace cannot come too soon for clubs
in and about New York. The end of the
war will be hailed almost as lifesaver
by many organizations.
The war affected the revenue and
membership of all clubs, some seri-
ously. The loss of patronage and dues
owing to the absence of members in
the United States service and to the
abnormal number of designations
would put a number of clubs face to
face with closing if the war were to
last much longer.
Clubs generally began to notice q de
cline in membership the first few
months this country was in the war.
AS the war continued designations
from membership increased
Clubs such as the New York Ath-
letic, Lotus, Union League. Lambs,
Knickerbocker, Union and others, al
though they have had designations,
have waiting lists from which the va
cancles were filled.
Increased taxation and cost Of liy-
ing have been ascribed as two reasons
for Che loss in club membership. Other
members resigned, feeling they should
forego club pleasures during var time
Other clubmen, for instance, some of
those who dropped from the New York
Yacht Club. resigned to give the equiv
alent Of their club dues 30 the Red
Cross.

Mr.. Stanton asserted that the 10000

keep themselves, and he blamed the
unfair methods adopted by the Hearst
agents to force them to sell papers
which they did not want and which
the public would not buy.
