For Substituting Brand

Magistrate Charles ~ Harris, in the
Municipal Term Court yesterday ruled
that it WAS contrary to law for a firm
to put Shenandoah Valley Spring labels
on bottles that contained water from the
wells of Forest Hills and sell the prod
uct. AS a result, the Bear Lithia Spring
Company, Inc, of 120 Broadway, was
fined Sl00.
Inspector Richard V. Ross, of the
Health Department, testified that last

pany delivered Forest Hills water to
patrons in the Equitable Building. He
alleged that the bottles bore the Shen-
andoah Valley labels, and that the pa
irons paid Shenandoah Valley prices
Secretary Walter f. Wells pleaded
that the Bear company had been hard
pressed and in this one particular in
stance substituted the Forest Hills
water for the Shenandoah product.

Conmon-Law Marriage
Recognized by Court
Second Husband Granted An
nulinent, Though Woman and
Other Man Were No, Wed

Despite the reiterated assertions of
Mrs Claire Holland Isquith. of 81 Clark
Street, Brooklyn, that she had never
been married to Frank Thomas, al
though she had lived with him for
eighteen years and had borne him two
children, Justice Callahan in Brooklyn
yesterday recognized the relation as a
common law marriage
That recognition was implied when
he granted the annulment sought by
Mrs. Isquith's second husband, Dr.
John H. Isquith, Of 5 South Elliott
Place Brooklyn.
DR.. lsquith said before they were
married, in June, 1918, Mrs. Isquith
had told him she had been married to
man named Frank Thomas and that
two children were born, but that she
was later divorced When Dr. Isquith
met Thomas the latter told him, the
physician said, that Mrs. IsQuith and
he had lived at 292 Quincy Street,
Brooklyn, but they had not been mar
ried. Testimony to that effect was
also given by Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson,
of 10 Covert Street, Brooklyn,
Thomas's aunt.
When Justice Callahan told Mrs
lsquith that by insisting she had not
been married to Thomas she was
illegalizing her children, she replied
She realized that, bat continued to as
sert she had never been married to
homas. Justice Callahan nevertheless
granted the annulment

Protest Sent to Washington Against Turning g
Crleg's Classic Into Jazz Music ON Phonograph
Record; "a Shame,'' Declares Enrico Caruso

Norway in particular and Scand;-
navian music lovers in general, are
shocked to find that Edward Hagerup
Grlegs famous "Peer Gynt Suite" has
been jazzed and is being circulated
IN Its corrupted form on phonograph
records. Representatives of high Nor

tic feeling for Grieg's austerc compost
tions, have forwarded to the govern
ment authorities at Washington a
memorial protesting against such a
desecration of genius"
composers, singers and conductors in
New York who expressed their views
yesterday. are inclined to think that
Norway, is right. Tom Brown, how
ever, who transformed Shubert's "Ser-
enade' and Rachmannioff's "Prelude"
INTO the raggiest of rags and whose
company played the jazzed "Suite" for
records, has a different opinion.
"Sergei Rachmaninoff heard US play
the adaptation of his work" he said,
and liked it, considering this method
OF popularizing real music We play
such adaptations to attract attention
and we find that the public takes to
adaptations better because familiar
melodies appeal. That's reason enough j"
Nine. Marie Sundelius, Enrico Caruso
and Albert Spalding, an American
violinist, were of the opinion that Nor

Coler Says Charity
Drives in City Are
Robbing Orphans
Welfare Chief Declares Asy-
lu1ms Suffer Because They
Do Not Employ s'Highly
Paid Educated Beggars'

Another attack on the drives for
funds conducted by the Red Cross. the
United Hospital Fund, the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hospital and the New York Tu-
berculosis Association was made yes
terday by Bird S. Coler, Commi ssioner
of Public Welfare. He asserted that
those charitable institutions "in con-
tinuing themselves on q war basis"
were not only duplicating the work Of
public institutions, but were "robbing
orphans" He was specially bitter III
his criticism of Protestant enterprise
along these lines.
Contributors to the drives, Mr.. Coler
said, considered they had done their
that scores of orphan asylums main
tanned through charity before the war
we're being neglected.
This is especially true Of Prot
estant institutions for the care of
children" said Mr.. Coler. "The Jew
ish and the Catholic institutions are
meeting their sponsibilities. But
Protestant churches are now spending
more money for music than they are
for child welfare. Since the war the
churches have forgotten the children.
Much of the neglect is due to these
unnecessary drives. People accosted
TO fling out change. Consequently
they feel that in this vague way they
are taking care of all charities
Educated Beggars' Employed
Mr.. Colcr said the reason orphan
did not employ highly paid and es-
pecially educated beggars for funds"
He reiterated that big organizations
like the Red Cross, were paying high
salaries, maintaining elaborate Offices
and creating kind Of "charity pro-
fessionalism."
"Ihe drive business" he said, "s
no longer direct appeal for the sup
port of a worthy cause, but is the en-
deavor of a middleman class in philan-
throphy to create # profession for it's
for the afflicted. This does injury in
both directions. 1t revolts the people
who otherwise would be glad to help
the sick and dependent and takes from
the amount which is actually con-
tributed for the care of the unfortu-
nate
In regard to the United Hospital
drive, | believe the united hospitals
need and are entitled to great public
support, but, not on the grounds that
they are caring for the poor This. to
under improper representations The
city is perfectly able to take care Of
the poor. In fact, 1T is only the very
poor or the very rich who have proper
medical hospital care. The great mass
of middle class people, who are unable
10 pay the high prices to private in
stitutions and who will not live beyond
their means, will not come to public
hospitals.
Salvation Army Not Included
"The Salvation Army appears to be
the only non-scctarian organization
that did war work on the other side
and has not wanted to be a permanent
health or reform agency, attempting
t. take the work that is already being
performed by duly constituted authori-
ties"
John s. Ellsworth, chairman of the
executive committee OF the New York
County Chapter Of the Red Cross. in
denying the charges made by Mr.. Coler,
declared yesterday that "at any time
when the city is prepared to take over
and do work we are row doing we will
gladly relinquish that work to them"

Mccormick Threat
Is Laughed At by
Big N. Y. Bankers

Wall Street greeted with mild de-
rision yesterday the threat of United
States Senator Medill Mccormick, Of
Illinois, that he would call for a
scrutiny of the books of the interna-
tional bankers in the event that friends
Of the peace treaty with the League
of Nations covenant attempt its ratifi-
cation when the new Congress as
sembles Senator Mccormick said such
any Of the bankers held foreign Sc
curities, "the future value of which
would depend on their Endorsement in
American blood"
That's poppycock." said a spokes-
man for financial house, whose inter
national business is among the
heaviest. "Statesmen and politicians
often say things intended only for eff
feet
A more detailed exposition of the
bankers side of the matter was
given by an officer of another interna-
tlonal banking firm.
Senator Mccormick" this man de-
clared, has evidently adopted the
Hearst view, that is to say the idea
that the bankers want America to be-
come a member of the league so they
can send the army and navy overseas
tc compel the Russians Czech o. -Slovaks
and others to pay money the bankers
are supposed to have lent them.
"It this is what the Senator is driv-
ing at he is shooting at the moon. be-
cause the principal creditor of the for
elgn nations who fought with us again st
Germany is the United States govern
ment itself. The United States holds
$4,000, 100000 in securities of this
KIN /. while the bankers hold very little.
The bankers never did hold any COM
parativcly great amount of these secu-
rites. and most of what they did hold
has been distributed to investors. 1t
is not the policy of banks to keep
money tied up for any great length Of
time. but to have it liquid"
"Thcn, if Senator Mccormick we're
to cause the books to be inspected by
a Senate committee you do not believe
they would disclose any such reason
as he suggests for the international
bankers desiring America to enter the
league ~ he was asked
Most assuredly not" was the
answer "Of course, if foreign coun-
tries were to repudate the $10,0O0,-
000,000 debt they owe the United States
government it would unsettle condi-
tions generally, and bankers, like every
one else, would suffer Outside of that
the bankers have no selfish interest in
the matter"

Rail Unions Ask
Special Boards:
Discuss Strike
Four Big Brotherhoods to
Demand Restoration of
Adjustment Tribunals as
Under Federal Control
s,ecsol Dispatch to The T,4buns

CLEVELAND, Nov. 23.-Heads of all
four of the transportation brother
hoods expect to be in Chicago Monday
70 make a final appeal to the Railway
Labor Board to reestablish national
boards of adjustment if officials of the
brotherhoods now in Chicago fail to
get the labor board to agree.
That dangerous situation exists by
reason Of the failure of the labor board
TO restore the boards of adjustment
which existed during Federal control
of the railways was admitted here to-
dav by the president of one of the
largest of the brotherhoods.
The brotherhoods, backed up by
twelve other strong railway labor or
eanizatons, are seeking TO have ma
tiona comm ssions created to adjust
difficulties between employers and
railway workers of all classes similar
70 the boards of adjustment Nos. /, 2
and 3 which were set up during the
war and scrapped with the end of Fed
eral control.
The transportation act Of 1920 pro-
yided that these boards might be re-
stored at the will of the Labor Board.
Railway managers, however, want the
boards limited to their own lines.
Leaders Are Represented
". G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood Of Railroad Trainmen, is repre-
sented in Chicago by w. n. Doak, leg
islative representative; Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, by H. P.
Dorgherty. assistant chief engineer
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, by Timothy Shea, vice
president who was acting president
during the war.
All three of these organizations have
their national headquarters in Cleve-
land L. E. Sheppard, president of the
Order of Railway Conductors, is now
in Chicago, representing his union.
The brotherhood officials in Chicago
are also 81 deavoring to reach an agree
ment with the labor board over the
wage increases for the short linN rail
wavs which were not included il. the
wage award handed down last July 90.
Mr. Lee, head of the trainmen's or
ganization. said tonight that the
brotherhoods had made no plans beyond
the possible conference IN Ohlcago
Monday. but that if the labor board
refused to provide for the boards or
adjustment, the brotherhoods would
have TO deal with the railways in the
cid way BY the methods used prior TO
government control.
Vote Ordered on Southern Pacific
A strike vote is being taken by the
trainmen on the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN. following the action of the South
ern Pacific management in extending
the runs so that many Of the employees
are receiving the same amount per
hour tnat they received before the
wage increase was handed down, Mr..
Lee said Mr.. Carter said the frcmen
were not voting as yet.
The brotherhoods opposition to the
action Of the Southern Pacific is based
