Woman Prosecutor
Gets First Glimpse
AT Vice Court Work
Miss Rothenberg, AfterHear-
ing Sordid Stories, Says
Judges Should Enforce
Single Morality Standard

Sobbing and tugging nervous1y at
her handkerchief, the little sixteen
yearold Italian girl made a sorrowful
picture as she stood before the bar
of justice in the Woman's Day Court
yesterday and answered to the charge
of vacrancy. From the back2 of the
courtroom came hysterical sounds,
where the child's mother and father
alternately harangued each other and
the court in Italian.
Watching the melodrama that is
part of the days routine in the JEFF
ferson Market Court sat Rose Rothen-
berg, the newly-appointed Assistant
Deputy District Attorney, preparing
herself to take up the duties of a
prosecutor.
Yesterday was a lean day in the
court. Since the publication of Judge
kosalsky's decision reversing the SEN
tence on two girls, the number of
vice cases in the Women's Day Court
mas shown marked decline. Magis-
trate W.. Bruce Cobb, the presiding
Judge, said the average was now two
cases day, where previous to the
investigation it had been seven.
There were only five cases for Miss
Rothenberg to watch--four were old
offenders and the fifth was the little
Italian girl. The new deputy was
greatly amused to 'be accidentally
taken for an offender herself, and
dragged forward by an inspector who
failed to recognize her as the first
feminine prosecutor in the jefferson
Market Court.
"That is the kind of case 1 want
to handle," commented Miss Rothen-
quilted. II am glad Magistrate Cobb
let her CO."
But before she was dismissed six
teen -year-old Rosa unfolded a pitiful
story. She is the sole support of her
family. She turned over to her father
and mother all the money she earned
as telephone operator. Her father re-
fused to give her even 25 cents to get
her shoes from the cobbler. She was
so miserable and unhappy that she
stayed away from home one night and
slept in the park. And yesterday her
father and mother followed her to
court in desperate anxiety to help free
their child.
The girl stayed behind while Magis-
trate Cobb gave her some good advice
and told her to 60 to the Florence Crit
tenton Home, where she would be we'll
looked after But all that Rosa thought
of was her mother, who, she vowed,
would die if she did not return home.
~ am constantly reminded that my
job will be prosecution" declared Miss
Rothenberg. "Men are apt to be afraid
that woman is going to be too soft
hearted and let all the cases off. While
l am going to remember that l am pri-
marily a prosecutor, at the same time
l am going to play dual part"
Miss Rothenberg does not believe in
the double standard Of morality and is
going to work to have men brought
into court along with the women.

47th Locates Colors.
But Cannot Get Them
Brooklyn Regiment Informed
They Will Stay in Adjutant
Generals Office

The 47th Regiment, of Brooklyn, has
found the colors which its Headquar-
ters. Company took to France with the
53d Pioneer Infantry, but it hasn't sue
ceeded in getting them. The colors are
in the Office Of the adjutant general at
Albany, and there they will stay, ac-
cording to Colonel j. W. Myers, as
sistant adjutant general, in this city.
The regiment to which the colors be-
longed became officially extinct, Colonel
Myers said, when the men were mus
tered out of the Federal service. The
place for its relics, he added, was the
Office of the adjutant general of the
state.
Every other regiment in the state
brought back it's own colors. The 47th
was the first of them all to be mus
tered into the Federal service It's men
were split up among sixty-four organi-
cations, the Headquarters Company
going with the 53d Pioneer Infantry
and seeing action nine days after
reaching France.
Regulations provide that in such case
the colors are to be intrusted to the
state from which most of the men in
the regiment come. Most regimental
commanders returning from France
the colors to the state regiment from
Charles H. Englesby, of South Dakota,
commander of the SD Pioneers, how
ever, followed regulations to the letter
and, unknown to the men, sent the
regimental colors of the 47th to AL

Dram a
Spanish Light Operas Are Sung
for the First Time
at COrt
By Heywood Broun

Although we cannot speak with au-
thority concerning the dialogue Of the
Spanish light operas which were pre-
sented at the Cort Theatre last night
the man in front of us almost fell out
of his seat with merriment. Perhaps
it helps to understand what the per
formers are saying, although such is
not often the case in our native mu-
sical entertainments. The music of
LA Viejecita" is particularly pleasing,
but the singing was not of high order.
The operetta seems to be the Spanish
version of "Charlie's Aunt" The hu-
morous possibilities of this plot were
somewhat impaired by the fact that
a woman plays the part of the young
man who disguises himself in female
apparel.
Ccnsuelo Baille played this role
with a great deal of skill and sang
moderately we'll. Of the rest the best
of the performers was Nelly Alonzo,
who did two French songs of varying
type with deftness. 1t was evident
that the stagehands were quite def
cient in Spanish, for the curtain kept
coming down at inopportune moments.
Perhaps they could not stand the
strain of listening to all the songs in
praise of wine and watching the per-
formers flourish bottles of champagne,
chianti and other beverages, contain
ing more than our national 2.75 per
cent standard.

Women Promote Field Day
Tickets for Police Event Sold at
Stock Exchange

Eleven young women sold tickets for
the Police Field Days at the Stock Ex-
change yesterday. A rule of the ex-
change forbids the floor to women, 50
the ticket sellers did their trading in
the balcony.
Each Of them stood on the shoulders
of policeman, using him as an auction
block. The sales were heavy and after
a while the policemen realized that the
young women were also. Then they
got down and canvassed the financial
district, selling many tickets in the
office buildings roundabout Yvette
Rigal sang.
George T. Wilson, vice-president of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
invited the young women to lunch. His
guests were Jeanne Dare, Brownie Vol
taire, Memphis Russell, Lillian Michel,
Madelin Van, Merle Stephens, Peggy
Dolan, Viola Madison, Florence Ashton,

Christian Science
Director Is Defiant
Uses Plain Words i'm Giving His
Opinion of Society's
Trustees

BOSTON, July 1.-THE controversy
between the board of trustees of the
Christian Science Publishing Society
and the directors of the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, whom they are
suing to prevent interference with the
societys affairs, was described from
the viewpoint of one of the directors in
letter read at the hearing of the suit
before master to-day.
The trustees affairs" were said to
be "determined effort to divide our
church from within" 1t was further
described as "a subtle attempt or error
to steal the livery of Heaven to serve
the devil in"
The letter was written by William
R. Rathvon to his fellow directors on
February 1S, last. He served notice
that he would not be a party to "a
course of supine acquiescence with the
trustees present position of ignoring
the manual of church government
saying that such a course "seems
equivalent to allowing the dirty pool
to remain unpurged, while we lovingly
endeavor to show the transgressors the
unwisdom of their defiance"

Ciue a Thought to-
I25th Street

ssH AM naturally quite enthusiastic
over the improved traffic condi-
tions in this vicinity" smiled Louis
Bobbe, advertising manager for H. c. f.
Koch Co., Inc, of 1856 West 125th
Street, "inasmuch as l was instru-
mental in inducing Mayor Hylan to
come up here and see for himself the
deplorable traffic conditions Of few
months ago, with the result that the
safety zone system was installed all
along 125th Street."
Harry Levitt, manager of the Stand
ard Furniture Company, 81 West 125th
Street, was satisfied with the present
situation and was quite optimistic for
a large increase in business. "Now
that traffic has been taken care of in
proper manner, there is absolutely
no reason why every reputable mer-
chant should not show an enormous
profit on his ledgers," he declared.
Probably the most enthusiastic busi-
ness man in this uptown district is
Daniel Kirshbaum, manager of the
Defender S. G. Company. practically
all Of our business comes from the
north" said Mr.. Kirshbaum. eve do
not get much business from people
from the south or downtown New York,
and it is with this in mind that DR..
j. Gardiner Smith, M. D., through the
Board Of Commerce, is endeavoring to
induce the New York Central people
to build a new station at Park Ave
nue. and 125th Street. This has not
yet developed into the tremendous
movement that will shortly be launched
to induce the railroad to get busy"

Brooklyn and Queens have placed
themselves solidly behind the drive of
the Long Island chapter of the knights
of Columbus Social Service, which is
attempting to raise 100000 to be
spent on boys clubhouses. Although
the campaign is to continue until July
"a, the number of checks which reach
the headquarters daily indicates that
the quota will be passed before that
date. Protestants and Jews have joined
with the Catholics to make the drive q
success and are showing equal enthusi-
asm, both in work and in contributing
to z4he cause.
Officers of the Long Island chapter,
at a meeting last night, gave full in
structions to team captains and speak
ers regarding the work Of the campaign.
Public collections will begin Saturday
when the collectors will invade sub
ways, theatres, factories, stores, offices
and other public places in a final
"clean-up" drive. Beginning Saturday,
the women's auxiliaries will join with
the men to help put the campaign
