Bedtime Stories
Worry in the Dear Old Briar-Patch
BY Thornton W. Burgess
IN doilyslite there's too ma.ch harry,
And altogether too much aoorry
By Thornton w. Burgess

Of course it wasn't long before the
willful young Rabbit who had stolen
away from the dear Old Briar-p patch
was missed. At first Mrs. Peter
thought he might be hiding some
where in the Old Briar- patch. But
when she had hunted everywhere, and
signalled and signalled without get
ting reply, she knew that he wasn't
there
Knowing how willful he was and how
often he had disobeyed the rule not
to go outside unless she or Peter was
along, she guessed right awayTthat he
had stolen out for some sweet clover
IN find the scamp in the nearest
clover patch" thought she, and, charg-
ing the five little Bunnes to remain
right where they were, she hurried out
TO the nearest patch of clover. Of
course she didn't find him. She sat
up and looked this way and that way,
but he was nowhere to be seen. A
great fear took possession of little
Mrs. Peter. Could Hooty the Owl on
nolseless wings have swooped down on
that needless little Bunny as he sat
eating clover out there in the open?
OF course Mrs. Peter told Peter at
once what had happened and Peter
hurried out to try to find his lost son.
Mrs. Peter didn't dare leave the five
children who hadn't disobeyed. 1t was
terrible to have lost one, but if any
thing happened to them while she was
looking for him it would be still more
terrible. So she remained at home
with them while Peter went out to
hunt for the lost one
Peter found where the willful Young
Rabbit had nibbled sweet clover in
the nearest clover Patch. Then he
found where he had started straight
out into the Green Meadows. But in
that tall grass he soon lost the trail.
You see, there was only the faintest
OF scents, and Peters nose was not
equal 70 following it. He hasn't such
a Wonderful nose as Reddy Fox or
Bowscr the Hound. Peter hurried this
way and that way through the tall
grass. but all in vain He thumped
and thumped with his hind feet, but
there was no answering thump. He
even went way over to the distant
patch OF clover where Reddy Fox had
hidden in the early evening. Reddy
had gone by that time, but he had
left strong scent behind where he

Arnstein Ordered
To Answer Queries
I'm Bankruptcy Case
Judge Hand, I'M U. S. Court,
Directs 'Nicky' to Appear
Before Referee Aug. 20 to
Give Data on His Assets

Jules w. ("Nicky") Arnstein, now
under bond of $4,000 on four indict-
ments charging grand larceny in the
first degree and the receiving of stolen
goods, must answer questions with re-
spect to his assets in the involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings brought against
him by Saul S. Myers, attorney for the
surety companies. Federal Judge Au-
gustus N. Hand so ruled yesterday in
the United States District Court.
"Nicky" is directed to appear before
Gilbert Gilchrist. United States Com
missioner and referee in bankruptcy,
on August 20, to be questioned with
respect to the alleged theft of some
S5,000,000 in bonds and securities by
messenger boys employed by Wall
Street brokerage firms.
Up to date "Ncky" las been able to
evade pointed inquiries on the plea
that to answer them would have a
tendency to incriminate him. He is to
be tried on the four indictments in
the General Sessions Court October 4.
In filing his schedule of assets and
liabilities June II "Nicky" explained
that his wife, Fannie Brice, the actress,
had lent him $14,500 to finance a friend
who had gone "broke" in poker game
The friend, said "Nicky," had advanced
post-dated check for $4,000 as Sc
curty for the loan, and the check
had been turned over to his wife as
collateral
Arnstein also said that his only
creditor was his wife. and that he pos
sessed assets of $4,000. According to
the District Attorneys office, however,
Mrs. Arnstein declared that her hus-
band had no bank account and was
practically penniess"
Mr.. Myers said yesterday that he is
trying to locate the bonds which were
stolen from Wall Street last winter, and
he believes that "Nicky' can throw
some light on the transactions in which
messengers were induced to turn over
valuable industrial securities to an
ORGANIZED gang

Gas and Curses Fill Nyack
Air; Court Aid Is Mu0ked
Political Plumber Doesn't Mind Neighborly Row
With Auto Agents That Puts Town in Panic,
but Has Chauffeur Arrested When He Swears

George Gates, conscientious plumber
of Nyack, N. Y, and perennial candi-
date for village trustee, was the COM
planning witness in trial in Judge
Benjamin Haas's court in that town
last night wherein William Stierlin, n
taNicab driver, was charged with using
vile and abusive language toward the
plumber. Stierlin said he couldn't re-
call using improper language toward
Gates. but if he had he was willing to
make public apology. The compromise
offer pleased the judge, was acceptable
to Gates and was indorscd by the
crowd Stierlin was discharged.
The controversy between Gates and
Stierlin began last Saturday, when
Gates, driving buggy up to the door
of his plumbing shop, says he dis
covered there an automobile. Across
the street is an auto agency, and Gates
requested the men there to remove the
New-York tribune., 1920-08-11

car The men said the car was not
their property, and they refused to
act. whereupon, it was alleged, Gates
drew his buggy up in front of the
agency and left it there, blocking the
entrance.
The automobile people are alleged to
have retaliated by moving three cars
alongside the Gates horse, and then re-
moving the mutflers and starting the
engines. The noise that ensued is said
to have thrown diners at the St. George
Hotel into n state of panic, while a
stray dog became excited and bit q
pedestrian.
In the melte Stierln was alleged to
have used coarse language toward
Gates and Stierlins arrest followed.
Preliminary to last nights trial
Judge Haas told courtroom spectators
that the trial was to be regarded as a
serious enterprise and that there was
to be no laughing-unless the court
laughed The court remained solemn
throughout and the hearing proceeded
without spectacular effects.

Woodl1ouse Suit Against
Aero Club Is Dismissed
Governors Say Right Name of
Deposed Member Is Enrico
Mario T. CasaIegno

The action brought by Henry Wood
house suspended member Of the board
of governors Of the Aero Club OF
America, to obtain an injunction re-
straining the club from amalgamating
with the American Flying Club was
dismissed by Supreme Court Justice
Glennon yesterday
Woodhouse still has another action
pending against the club for a writ Of
mandamus. ordering his reinstate-
ment as member of the board of
governors. In the action decided by
Justice Glcnnon yesterday. the Aero
Club itself and Charles Jerome
Edwards, Charles L. Poor. and James
A. Blair, three governors, were named
as defendants.
In the joint atfiadavit submitted by
the three governors last named there
appeared the following: "Dcponcnts
annex hereto an extract from state
ment made by the plaintiff (Wood-
house) at his own request at a meet
ing of the, board of governors of the
Aero Club, which shows that in ap-
pearing before this court the plaintiff
is not using his lawful name; these
dcponents do not feel called on in
opposing this motion to asperse the
reputation, or disclose any of the past
history Of the plaintiff"
1t is also stated that the charges
made by Woodhouse against individ-
uals and other associations are not
material to the case. In the answer
to the specific charges of Woodhousc,
the defendants say the rightful name
Of Woodhouse is Enrico Mario T. Casa
legno. 1t is also said that his connec-
tion with the Aero Club has been in
furious to it because Of "thc. promin-
cnce of recent public discussions of
such relations"

cou1I cp,ol1r +bir


Peters heart sank. 81 am afraid
that willful little chap came over here
and Reddy caught him" he muttered
sorrowfully. 81 won't tell his mother,
but am afraid we never will see
him again" Then, because there
seemed nothing else to do, Peter re-
turned to the dear Old Briar- patch.
If that was dreadful night for
the lost, willful young Rabbit it was
an equally dreadful night for Peter
Rabbit and little Mrs. Peter in the
dear Old Briar-patch. You see, all
night long they worried and worried
and worried. Every little while one or
the other would go to the edge of the
dear Old Briar-patch to look out and
to thump. Knowing as they did the
dangers of the Great World, they
imagined all sorts of terrible things
happening to their willful little son.
Yes indeed, that was a dreadful night
in the Old Briar-patch.
So you see how that willful young
Rabbit, who thought he knew all there
was to know, had by his disobedience
not only brought upon himself terri
bic fright but had brought sadness
and worry to his father and mother.

Grouse hunting opened Wednesday

Is days only, until October /, in all
counties except Valley, Roosevelt and

tinues throughout the year, in an
effort to rehabilitate the fields with

The limit is five birds. The law also
provides that only five birds may be in
the possession of a hunter at one
time. The grouse hunting regulations
are the same as those for prairie
chickens, fool hens, pheasants, par
tridges and sage hens.
Hunters throughout the state, how
ever are not shooting pheasants thi.

Dixon Flags the MP: League
Ask Democrats to HELP Him

Senator j. M. Dixon, republican
nominee for governor, read a prepar-
ed speech in which he flayed the non
partisan league and invited the demo-
Gratis to come in and help the repub-
licans elect their ticket. In part ne
said:
We meet under extraordinary con-
ditions The old political issues, grow
ton, have passed. The cataclysm of a
world wide war has brought the ma
tion face to face with stern realities
in the industrial and social conditions
of our own country, and here in Mon
tana, the wave of discomfort has reach
ed tidal proportions.
We have just witnessed the strange
phenomenon of an alien political or
ganization, without legal entity, hy-
brid offshoot of the old socialistic par
ty in Montana, completely oust from
it's birthright, and it's rightful place
on the ballot, the historic democratic
party in this state.
Abandoning is legal status as the
socialist party in Montana, it's lead
ers have preferred to surreptiously
seize, temporarily, the banner of dem
ocracy But, after the manner of the
pirates of old, garroting in glee the
regular democratic ticket in the re-
cent primary, they now refuse with
scorn to sit in the democratic con-
vention.
To add insult to injury, last week
they met in secret conclave in Great
Falls and issued an official declara-
tion that they are not democrats and
neither lot nor part with the political
party under whose flag they have set
sail.
Having thus ousted the traditional
democratic party in Montana from
any part of the pending campaign
they now challenge the only remain
ing political organization in Montana
to a finish fight. Are you ready tc
accept the gage of battle?
The republican organization and
the republican ticket in Montana are
the only remaining line of defense
against the assault that they are
now marshalling their forces to de-
liver in November.
The republican organization is the
only one that now stands between
this socialistic organization and the
complete control of the state and coun,
ty government in Montana.
Should they succeed in capturing
government in this state 60 days from
this time, God help the people OF
Montana who still have faith in the
spirit and traditions of the govern.
