Lustgarten G. cts
Long Prison Term
For $4,000 Theft
Lawyer Wears u. S. Army
Uniform When Sentenced
to From 4 to 8 Years in
Tax Lien Company Case

Wearing the uniform of the United
States army, with a corpora's chevron
and overseas and discharge stripes,
William Lustgarten, lawyer, formerly
head of the Tax Lien Company, who
was convicted of grand larceny last
week, was sentenced to serve from four
to eight years in Sing Sing by Judge
Grain in the Court Of General Sessions
yesterday The conviction was based
on the theft, in 1915, Of $4,000 from
Robert Schalkenbach.
Lustgarten disappeared from New
York in August, 1917, following the
failure of the company, and enlisted.
He showed great emotion when SEN
fenced and two court officers had to
assist him back to the Tombs. Judge
Grain told the prisoner that while he
had served honorably under the colors
in France, that could hardly rebound
to his credit, because he entered the
service under an assumed name and
after fleeing the jurisdiction Of the
court.
lsadore Wasservogel, counsel for
Lustgarten, made plea for clemency,
pointing out that Lustgarven,. if per-
mitted to retain his liberty, would be
able 10 assist in Strengthening out the
affairs of the tax lien company.
Assistant District Attorney Pecora,
who prosecuted Lustga rten, told Judge
Grain that Scha lkenbac had lost S11O,-
900 through Lustgarten.
Lustgarten's conviction automatic
ally disbars him as a lawyer.
He disappeared from New York in
1917, leaving a note in which he threat
ened suicide. He then enlisted at Fort
LeavenWorth. On his honorable dis
charge from the army here, detectives
arrested Lustgarten.
The losses of victims of Lustgarten's
financial operations exceed S5OO,OOO,
according to Pecora.

The neU
silhouette
for Autumn suits

is like a chapter from
"Godey's Ladies' Book"
The Women's Suit Salons
have just received this new
and unexpected model that
predicts-all in a rush of
revolutionary lines what
our silhouettes are to be like
this Autumn.
Very slender of waist and
bouffant of skirt is this
model. The coat flares into
busy little ruff1es after it has
been nipped in severely at
the waist. And everywhere
-almost-are narrow bands
of fur and pompoms of fur
at the waistline front and
back.
This is the silhouette our
grandmothers wore with
such grace. They had not,
however, the sophisticated
tight underskirt that in
varlably appears under the
tunic of the skirt.

Speedy Trial Asked
In Jersey Beer Case
Feigenspan Brewery Pleads Not
Guilty and Will Defend Sale
of 2.75 Beverages

NEWARK, Aug. GA plea of not
guilty to criminal information chare-
ing violation of the wartime prohibi-
ton act was entered in the Federal
District Court on behalf Of C. Feigen-
span, of Newark, corporation, opera
tor Of one of the largest breweries in
New Jersey.
The information was filed in Trenton
last week by United States District At
torney Joseph l.. Bodine in order to
make test case. One count charges
that on May l the corporation manu-
factured beer containing more than
one-h half Of I per cent of alcohol. The
other alleges that beer of that kind
was sold on that date.
The company has been manufactur-
ing 275 per cent beer, and it's defence
will be that 2.75 per cent beer is not
Intoxicating within the meaning of the
wartime prohibition act
II. P. Lindabury, attorney for the
brewery, indicated belief that iury
trial to determine whether 2.75 per
cent beer was intoxicating would be
necessary.
81 want a speedy trial because this
is test case, and similar cases may
develop" said Mr. Bodine.
Judge Davis directed the attorneys to
agree upon date.

District Attorney Lewis Doubts
Her Indictment ON First De-

The case Of Frances Sulinski, the
young girl who has admitted poisoning

Harry E. Lewis of Kings County said
Yesterday there is not the ghost of a
chance that the girl, who is only thir-
teen years old, will be triad for murder
in the first degree. An Indictment
charging a lesser offence is expected.
The case then would revert to the Chill

Better buy the
Children s
shoes nOlU

This advice is prompted
by the fact that many wise
parents have been buying
school shoes these past few
weeks, taking advantage Of
the lower prices Of shoes,
which will necessarily be
higher in price when new
shipments come in the Fall.
Two examples
Excellent wearing shoes which
we now have in good supply, but
which cannot be replaced at the
price.
Girls black buttoned
shoes, welted and stitched !:
sizes 81Ia to 1ol ,, 81.
sizes II to 2, $3.50.
sizes 2la to 6, S5.
Girls tan lace shoes:
sizes II to 2, SIS.
sizes 2l2 to 6, Sc.
These are only two out of
many shoes for girls, small boys
and for babies, that are st.n
selling at old prices.
For instance,
a baby's all hand-sewn tan shoe
for S3.25- the maker tells US will
now cost that much TO make.
Parents will find the store for
Chlldren's shoes profitable
place to visit these days.
Special:

with silk pompon, sizes to 8 for

pairs. Girls love them.

The Muddy
Mountain
Streams

disappoint fishermen whose pict-
uresque camps are pitched along
the beautiful Juniata, as the fish in
these streams only travel when
the water is clear.
After the successive showers
of few days ago all the
streams, like Shorer's Creek,
were overhowing their banks
and at least two feet higher,
and still worse, we're of the
color of the dusty country roads.
1t was interesting and useful
to notice a crystal stream pour
ing out Of the rocks, which kept
its purity for a long time as it
leaped from rock to rock, but
lost it entirely in sixty seconds
when it joined itself to be COM
pany with the swollen and soiled
creek reaching up to it and
sweeping on to the river.
To be born pure and sweet
amid the beauties of nature and
to run along for a time without
stain and then suddenly plunge
into the giddy, noisy company
of even an old neighbor and be-
come a part of tainted life and
lose identity entirely seems an
awful downfall.
The shifting currents of life
must be watched closely and
guarded carefully, lest they en-
guilt US and endanger all our
future days.
A business life can be as highly
honorable as any other, if we keep
clear of entangling alliances.

WHY THE TRAVELLERS HAVE
NOT OPERATED AS PLANNED
Oil Development Impossible on Lands
Withdrawn for Project Uses Unless
Form of Withdrawal Is Changed

That part of the Saltwater oil
fields lying within the Withdrawals
made for Newlands project purposes
under what is known as the first
form cannot be developed unless the
form of withdrawal is changed, ae-
cording to advices received by Pro-
ject Manager John +. Richardson
from the secretary of the interior.
This sets at rest the speculation
anent the Travellers oil company
which recently stopped operations
just at a time when it seemed GER
tain the commercial travellers of Ne
vada would be the first to sink a
well. 1t seems likely, however, that
the form of withdrawal will be
changed to what is known as the
second form in order that the cor
templated work may be prosecuted,
in which event the Travellers and
Others having locations in the dis
trict now beelouded with the gov
ernments reclamation service for
malities will resume their efforts. all
to the end that prospecting for Gil
may have definite results.
The following letter. permission
for the publication of which was
granted by the interior department
officials this week. explains the stu
alton:
Answering your letter of June

similar case was recently submitted
from the Carlsbad project, New

ant to the director advised:
Il have to say that on May 7th,
1919, the question was submitted to
the depai tment and that under date

retary held that he knows of no law
under which the United States would
