Cleanup Kid Puts
Soup and Pie on
Menu of Missiles
<'Do'nuts and This Here
Cawfee' Not to His Lik-
ing, So He Bombards Res
iallrateur and Patrons

James A. Roachc. who modcstly ad-
mits that he is known among his in
Inmates as the Cleanup Kid walked
into the restaurant of Peter Mulvey, at
GIT Sixth Avenue, yesterday afternoon
and ordered coffee and crullers. Roache
is q negro, and he had occasion later
to explain to the police that his adj
"These here do'nuts," he remarked
pensively, "ain't the lahgest what is, is
they? An this here cawfee, now. Is
you sure you amt give me some of
that water that you washes your dishes
in ?"
"If you don't like it," Mulvey told
him, "you can have your money back
and take the air"
The Cleanup Kid accepted the offer
without enthusiasm. At table near
the door three hungry diners wero
busily engaged in the business of con-.
suminc food.
Of these one had begun operations
on a plate Of steaming bean soup
Roache deftly removed the dish from
in front of him and hurled it with all
the energy and skill of big league
pitcher at Mulvey's astonishcd counte-
nance. 1t was a fast one, and there
was lots of stuff on it.
AS the shocked restaurateur
squeezed tne lnlcK liQQlU from his
locks Roache stacked his arms with
in defiance of the protests Of the
owners.
Mulvey rushed manfully forward,
wiping bean soup from his eyelashes as
he ran. He was forcefully halted by a
speedy outshoot, and large order of
ham and eggs, sunny side up, smeared
itself over his visage.
The restaurant man ducked his head
and charged, and a slice of raisin pie,
dripping viscid juice, just like the
pictures in the magazine ADVERTISE
ments, landed or the back of his neck
and oozed it's way beneath his collar.
The three bereaved customers hurled
themselves upon Roache, who reached
for penknfe. Foiled by weight Of
numbers in his attempt to carve his
assailants into small pieces, ne revert
ed to first principles, and bit one Of
them in the thumb.
While it lasted it would have been
good fight for the movies Patrolman
Goodwin. of the West Thirticth Street
station, grabbed the Cleanup Kid as
he was making a rapid getaway. The
patrolman. had his hands full trying
to keep the negro from the indigna ut
crowd of food-draped participants, who
were all for a summary procedure in
volving length OF cloth esinc and an
adjacent lamp post.
Magistrate Bernard J. Douras, in the
jefferson Market Court, held The Clean
up Kid in 81, 900 bail for a hearing to-
day.
"He spoiled that much food" Mulvcv
said as he struggled to extract a raisn
from remote spot between his shoul-
der blades.

Aldermen Act Too
ate i'm Seizure
OF Garbage Plant
Contractors Remove Riker's
Island Equipment While
Resolution Is Held Over:
May Dump Ashes in Sea

The Board of Aldermen yesterday
passed a resolution calling for the
seizure by the city Of the plant of
Rogers & Haggerty on Riker's Island,
which that firm used for final DISPOSE
tion OF ashes and rubbish until the
Board of Estimate refused to renew
its contract on April /. This action
OF the Aldermen was taken apparently
without knowledge Of the fact that the
Rogers & Haggerty firm had already
removed its plant from the island
pursuant to an order from the Cor
poration Counsel.
The unpre cedented action of the
city to exercise the right of eminent
domain in order to acquire the ma
chincry and equipment of the plant
duced %" aS week IN by Adepma" wa% nD
T. Collins, majority leader, who then
urged its immediate cons liberation.
Alderman Bruce NJ. Falconcr. Republic
can, however, objected and the matter
went over for a week. during which
time the contractors improved the op-
portunity to get their plant off the
island.
As the matter now stands the city
viii either have to purchase a plant to
necessary dumping scows and tugs to
tow the ashes out to sea and dump
them. The former proposal was made
by Major La Guardia, President of the
Board of Aldermen, at the last meeting
of the Board of Estimate. He declared
the necessary equipment could be OBJ
taired in New Jersey and the Riker's
Island plant started within few days
Nothing definite has been done in that
direction, however. and Commissioners
MacStay declared yesterday he would
propose to the Board Friday that the
city purchase dumping scows and take
the ashes and rubbish to sea.
Meanwhile this refuse is accumulate
ing throughout the city and the Street
Cleaning Department is burning it on
the dumps in huge bontires. Alderman
William f. Quinn introduced resolu-
tion at the meeting yesterday protest
ing against burning rubbish ons the
dump at Serenity Street and the
Hudson River He declared one house
in the neigh borhood, at ~ Riverside
Drive. had caught fire and burned.
On motion Of Alderman Collins the mo-
ton was tabled. Major La Guarda
announced that he had talked with the
Mayor about the practice of disposing
of the rubbish in bontires and that it
would be stopped.
Major La Guardia offered resolution
calling for an appropriation of $500 900
to purchase electric surface cars as
equipment for the Midland Railroad
on Staten Island, which the city in
tends 10 operate soon The resolution
was referred to the Finance Committee.

The steamship Ulua. of the United

One interesting feature was her wire

HIS BOOK DID 1T
Savannah News.

Savannah News.
"How did I happen to nominate
Coolidge?" I'll tell you said the
Oregon lawyer who touched off the
match that sent the Coolidge nomina-
tion skyrocheting to success. Some
one sent me Coolidge's book, and 1
read it through many times. 1 knew
the man who wrote those speeches
was a patriot' Governor Coolidge
was nominated because of his book
and his book was the basis of the tell
ing campaign waged in his behalf.
When the senate committee was in
vestigating the expenses of the vari-
Gus presidential possibilities last
month the head of the Coolidge cam
paign stated that of the $68,375 sub
scribed for the Coolidge fund, practi-
cally the entire amount had been spent
in connection with the book "The
money" he said, "has been expended
in the purchase of books, clerk hire, in
wrapping, mailing and postage"
"Have Faith in Massachusetts" is a
collection Of addressed beginning with
the governors speech on being elected
president of the senate in 1914-prob-
ably the shortest speech of the kind
ever made-and ending with the fall
of 1919. The Bay State governor is
a writer of real ability and a clever
maker of phrases "Unless good cit
liens hold Office, bad ones will" "Let
men in Office substitute the midnight
oil for the limelight!" "Men do not
make laws, they do but discover
them" There is no right to strike
against the public safety by anybody,
anywhere, anytime A man of few,
but telling words and a man of many
and vital ideas, Governor Cooldge's
book is true reflection of his char
acter.

WILSON OFFERED
NUMEROUS JOBS

Washington, June 30.-President
Wilson, on leaving the White House,
will have the opportunity of taking
any kind of position he wants.
Every day there comes to the ex-
ecutime mansion numbers of offers
that include about every kind of job
there is in existence.
He is known to have been offered
the leadership of score of big uni
versities, and hundreds of newspapers
are more than willing to have him at
almost any salary he might name, and
last, but not least, more than one film
corporation has made tentative offers
for his services in moving pictures.
Admiral Grayson, his physician, said
today that he knew nothing of re-
ported offer from the University of
Philippines of salary of $4,000 to
100000 a year to the President to
serve as it's head.
"Just what the President will do
after his retirement no one can say
at this time," DIR. Grayson declared.
"The chief concern of every one about
him is to make him well as quickly as
possible"

ADMIRAL SAM MCGOWAN

Current Opinion has strong ar
ticle on Rear-Admiral Samuel Nc
Gowan.
The magazine story is a narrative
of the MCGOWAN system in the navy,
which has proven so meritorious,
especially in time of war.
Admiral MCGOWAN is told of as the
man who disburses thirty million dol
lars day, and could have answer:
Where was our major battalion feet
operating? What waters were our
fiotillas of torpedo-destr6yers patrol
ling? Where were our hundreds-uf
submarine-chasers. What routes did
our transports take? And, able to
answer all these questions, spoke on no
one of them.
To make sure that Admiral Sims
could keep right on with his day and
night task of smashing the enemy
subs without hitch or delay, Admiral
MCGOWAN, paymaster-general, issued
an order to the effect that whatever
Sims wanted and wherever he wanted
it, it was to be shipped that same
day, and the wishes of the fleet admi-
raj were always to be considered the
wishes of the paymaster-g To
insure this Admiral MCGOWAN select
ed as his help commissioned officers
whom he knew to be perfectly fitted
to the work. And his orders were
obeyed; and his was thorough sue
cess.
The article in Current Opinion gives
a pen picture of the activities in Ad-
miral McGowan's offices and pays high
tribute to this fine South Carolinian,
who learned to work when he worked
himself through the College of South
Carolina-learned lesson which he
has never forgotten.
Admiral MCGOWAN stands high in
the estimation of every man in the
navy department.

HOW THE WOMEN
WILL ACT

For the benefit of the Columbia
State and others who have come out
Of an anti-suffrage trance and realized
that in this good year the women of
South Carolina are going to vote, let
us quote from an account of the re-
cent Texas Democratic convention,
written by one Of the most famous
photographers in the United States,
George M. Bailey of the Houston Post.
Hundreds Of women sat in that body
as delegates.
These women were not "he women -
says Bailey, but "good Texas women
representing the best of Texas citizen
ship" He adds "Those who doubt the
ability of women to acquit themselves
creditably in politics would have been
disillusioned had they witnessed the
women delegates engaging in the or
dinary work of the convention with
quite as much self-possession as the
battle-scarred male warriors of hun
dred conventions" They made mo-
tions, raised points of order, made
nominating speeches, caucused, served
on committees, discussed public men
and measures, all in the most matter
of-fact way.
The noted Texas newspaperman
goes on to say:
"And they were not mannish, bold,
immodest or foolish, nor were they
treated with the slightest discourtesy
or disrespect, and in all respects they
proved that sex did not disqualify
them for the duties of suffrage and
that politics did not make them un-
womanly.
"The men of Texas may rest as
sured on that point. The new idea is
not going to break up the homes of
the land or create other problems or
menaces to disturb their serenity. The
women of Texas are to be depended
upon. They are going to help the
cause of good government materially.
They have the courage of their con-
victions. They are independent; they
are intelligent.
"They came to the convention from
well ordered Texas homes, where there
are husbands and children They at
tended to the business for which they
came intelligently, attentively and in
dustriously and returned to their
homes knowing that politics consti-
tutes no menace for them or their
self-respect."
Do the women of South Carolina
differ from the women of Texas?
When the women Of the Palmetto
State sit in the State Democratic con-
vention of 1922, their conduct will
evoke comment just like Bailey's.
Giving women the ballot will have
no more tendency to break up the
home than giving it to the mere male
of the species.-Greenville Piedmont.

TELE-
PHONE INTRODUCED

Buenos Aires, July 1.-The auto
matte telephone will be introduced in
Buenos Aires in 1922 under a con-
tract signed between the city authori-
ties and an American concern which
has agreed to install the system. The
city already possesses two telephone
systems operated in the ordinary way
but there is a shortage of telephone
instruments. Concerns establihing new
businesses here have a great deal of
difficulty in obtaining them and some
have been obliged to forego them.
Many persons have profited by sur
rendering their apparatus to others at
a high price.
