MITCHEL'S NAME IS
RESTORED BY HYLAN
Had Been Taken From, Black
UelPs Island Tablet.

Newspapers on Sunday contained an
account Of the elimination OF the name Of
John Purroy Mitchell from a commence
rative tablet on the new ten story store
house on Blackwel's Island, which was
planned and started in his administra-
ton, and the substitution OF the names
OF Mayor Hylan, Comptroller Craig and
President Moran OF the Board Of Alder
men.
The Mayor said yesterday he had no
knowledge of this attempt to rob the
Mitchell administration of the credit for
the structure: He sent the following
letter TO Commissioner Coler of the De-
partment of Public Charities, directing
that the name OF former Mayor Mitchell
be restored. He wrote:
II notice by the press thai a tablet
was prepared for a storehouSe building
on Blackwell's Island, the corner stone
OF which was laid on October rs. 1917,
two months before took Office, and that
the said building is now In the course OF
completion.
ut appears from the published state
ment that the name of John Purroy
Mitchell has been eliminated from the
original tablet and my name has been
substituted in its place as Mayor Of the
city This was done without my knowl-
edge.
If the. statement be correct, l deem
1t highly proper that you should imme-
diately have the name originally on the
tablet restored"

WOMAN IS FOUND
SLAIN AND ROBBED
Stranglcd in Her Flat for
Family Savings She AL
ways Carried.
CLUES TO TWO SUSPECTS
Neighbors Next Door Heard
No Struggle, but Victims
Throat Bears Marks.

Ludwig Kucharsky, his wife, Branis-
law. and her brother. Leon Seradinsky
came to the United States from Russia
some fifteen years ago. and two or three
years later they rented two room fiat
In 113 Stanton street, where they have
lived ever since. BY working hard
Leon and Ludwig both were automobile
cleaners In garages and Mrs. Kucharsky
took In washing for twelve or thirteen
years--they managed to accumulate a
considerable sum of money. Last Sat-
urday nisht when they took stock of
their posse ssions they had $4,000 in the
Dry Dock Savings Institution, 500
rubles in Russian bank. about 200
rubles In cash and $3.50 in American
money. besides a 500 Liberty bond. two
gold watches and two or three rings.
Yesterday morning at o'clock Mrs
Mary Lipchu.I. who lives in fiat ad-
Joining that of the Kucharskys, met
Mrs. Kucharsky in the hall and spoke
to her. She then went into her own
home. bathed her son, and came into
the hall again about 10 o'clock. In the
meantime she had heard no sound from
the other fiat except once, and that
was like a chair being moved about.
But when she got into the hall she
found Mrs Kucharsky's cat there. The
animal acted strangely. 1t crept and
cringed back and forth in the hall, and
whined and cried. When Mrs. Lipchuk
started to pet it it snarled and ran into
Mrs. Kucharsky's home, the door OF
which was ajag.
Mrs. Lipchuk called to Mrs. Kuchar-
sky. but got no answer. She heard rum
ming water and went inside and turned
OF the water. thinking that Mrs. Kuchar-
sky had gone out. But when she looked
into the living room she found her
neighbor lying on the floor. She shook
the woman and when she got no re-
Spouse called a policeman. who in turn
called a physician. The doctor said the
woman was dead and judging from the
marks on the throat both he and the
medical examiner. DR.. Hohmans, who
came later. believed that she had been
strangled.
Detectives Stetter, Williams and Kelly
started an investigation. The woman
husband told them she always carried
the cash Of the family. the $3.50 in Amer
lean money and the Russian rubles, tied
UP in her undervest. But an examina-
ton showed that a small patch had been
cut out OF the vest. evidently with a pair
Of scissors or a knife. A search showed
that the two watches. the Liberty bond
and practically everything else OF value
that could be carried easily were gone.
The only clues to the murderer are
the statements of the janitress, Mrs Bes-
sic Richter. and Abe Kessler. a boy who
lives In Ill Stanton street Mrs. Richter
said she saw two men go up stairs be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock. and Abe said
that while he was flying kite from
the roof of Ill he saw a man come
through the scuttle Of 1l3 and then enter
house a few doors farther down.

SAYS FRENCH KNOW
u. S. TURNED SCALE
Elizabeth Frazier, Writer,
Returns From France.

Elizabeth Frazier. who writes for
the Saturday Evening Post on war
themes, returned yesterday from France
on the Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm, de-
claring that there was no doubt that
the French as a people realized that
the Americans were the determining fac
tor in winning the war, and no matter
what politicians might say. down In
the bottom of their hearts the French
always would reverence the American
doughboy for the part he played in the
war.
Miss Frazier. in doughboy uniform,
went into the trenches in the Toul sec
tor while the war was on. Word was
pendent OF the Saturday Evening Post
and she was treated with distinguished
gentleness. A soldier who came along
and did not know she was woman
exercised the doughboys privilege and
vented his feelings, which seemed to
have been hurt by somebody, in
torrent OF cuss words. He found out
tho next morning that he had been
cussing in the presence OF a lady and
was contrte, sending Miss Frazier a
note of apology and a bunch of roses,
so she did not print what he said.
Miss Frazier said some severe things
about an order given after the arrnistice
forcing the weary soldiers to drill eight
hours day. This, in the severe
weather. caused more casualties than
there were in the days when the men
we're fighting.

NEW YORK'S AIR COP
FINDS NO CULPRITS
RiUer Pirates Shady as City's
Plane Circles Aboue.

D. G. Van De Water. aerial cop, came
flying over the Battery yesterday from
New Dorp in the hope OF pinchlng some
thing but found all of marine New York
behaving itself In the most exemplary
fashion.
However. the Battery and buildings
looking out on the bay had an oppor-
tunity of getting a first squint at a new
arm of the Police Department as Van
De Water, his lead colored seaplane
plainly labelled N. Y. A. p, meaning
New York Aerial Police, came winging
over the water. Finding business very
duh, Policeman Van De Water, after
circling Governors Island. landed near
the Battery and TAXED to the sea wall.
There he admitted that malefactors
for the most part kept on the earth,
but said that he had patrolled the air
lines and kept traffic running smoothly
when aerial New York turned out to
greet the President the other day when
he arrived on the George Washington.
Van De Water added that the city is
soon to have two seaplanes and two air
planes to keep order in the upper strata.
They will be housed in the police hangar
at New Dorp. Staten Island.
Van De Water said that his flying
boat Is equipped with wireless apparatus
so that he can keep In constant COM
munication with the police boat Patrol.
He sent message of farewell to the
R-34 when she sailed away last Thurs
day morning.

SHOEMAKER LOSES
WHEN HE WINS BET
Opponent Kept Stakes, He
Tells Court.

Joseph Fabian, a shoemaker, OF 4s5
East Ninth street. and Frank Mueller, a
machinist. of 104 East Eleventh street,
had an argument two or three days ago
about shoemakers. Fabian said any
shoemaker who was any good at all
could make six pairs of shoes In a day
and Mueller said he didn't believe II.
So Fabian offered to bet Mueller $500
that he was right and Mueller held the
stakes Then they went out and found
a shoemaker who said he could make
six pairs Of shoes In one day without
any trouble. But when Fabian de-
manded the money. so he says. Mueller
wouldn't give him his original part in
the pot, much less the money he thought
he had won
Fabian had Mueller arrested and taken
to the Essex Market court. where Muel-
Ter said that Fabian had given him odds
of 100 to ! and that when Fabian said
he won Mueller had produced the $500
II won the bet anyway" said Mueller,
because no shoemaker can make six
pairs of shoes in a day, don't care
what he says"
Magistrate Blau permitted Fabian TO
swear out complaint. charging grand
larceny. and Mueller was locked up in
default OF $1,000 bail.

ark Jail Mistaken for Riot.

A fight between two women in front OF
the Newark jail In New street. Newark.
caused a riot call TO be sent yesterday TO
polcein that city. and seven patrol wag-
ons with fifty policemen armed with
nightsticks were rushed to the scene.
The jail is in the Fourth precinct, and
when the lieutenant on desk duty re-
ceived the call he thought prisoners were
escaping from the jail. He telephoned
to police headquarters and the call was
relayed TO six other precincts with In
structions to order the men out with
their nghtsticks.
When the first OF the patrol wagons
reached the Jail they found the two
women in action. 4 crowd stood look
ing on. One of the women was arrested.

banners and streamers flew everywhere.
The banners were still waving Sunday,
and when Savolski saw them, he, too.
flung flag to the breeze.
Walter Wolfe, a fireman of the mer-
chant marine, who lives at 30S Jefferson
avenue, was. passing and suddenly
looked up.
HIN he murmured, "a German flag"
Savolski. according to the police, was
directed to strike his colors. He re-
fused. saying the war was over. Sticks
and stones began to play a tattoo on the
second story window. Others in the
house drew the flag in. Savolski said he
had been intoxicated. He has been in
this country fifteen years.

PAYS $1,000 FOR PEBBLES,
"Mexican Gold" Trick Matched by
Another Easy One.

George Jochim OF 20 Barbara street,
Newark and Edward Katz Of 81 Rankin
street, same town, may get together to-
day and form a little protective league
Of their own. George was walking in
East Side Park yesterday when two
genial strangers hailed him. George had
800 in his pocket. One OF the strangers
had a stout canvas bag in his hand. The
strange gentlemen declared themselves
from Mexico and the bag to contain
$500 worth of gold. George gave them
the hundred he had in his pocket and
5000 that he drew from his bank. Then
he opened the bag. He found himself
possessed of the neatest collection OF
nice smooth pebbles that $1,000 ever
purchased.
Edward had a diamond ring for sale
He wanted $1,000 for it, A stranger
presented himself at Edwards home and
produced the desired $1,000 all in one
bill. The stranger received the ring and
Edward felt the crumpled bill thrust
into his hand. The train for Baltimore
had borne the purchaser many miles
away before Edward realized that the
bill was Of the one dollar variety instead
OF s., 900.
