rs Women Complain of
Peeping Toms Visits
S;apleton Residents Terrorized
in Night by Youth Who
Siashes Bed Clothes

Complaints were received yesterday
at the police station at Stapleton,
Staten Island, from moro than twenty
five women who had been visited before
dawn by PeeDing Tom.
He is believed to be the same youth
who terrified women in the vicinity
about a year ago. Ascertainlng first
that only women occupy a house and
that one of them sleeps in a front
room, the intruder climbs the porch
and enters the fro3t sleeping room.
Several women have been awakened
by his entrance and screamed, where
upon he fed. Others have been too
frightened to utter a sound and have
seen him through half-closed eyes steal
to the bedside and stare at them. At
ter standing by the bed for a moment
he snafches the bedclothing to the floor
and departs, often taking with him
some underearment which he hangs on
n tree in front of the house.
More than 100 women complained Of
his activities last year. He made his
temperance about two weeks AGO and
has been visiting homes in Fort Wads-
worth, Arrochar, Clifton and ROsebank

Advertises for a Film Mob:
900 Realistically Mob Him

A smile of anticipation lighted the
face of Nathan Lipsom, twenty six
year-old impresario, yesterday, as he
stood in the entrance to the hall at
145 East 103d Street and counted more
than 900 men who had replied in per-
son to his advertisement for extras
to play mob scene In tho motion pic
lures.
at pays to ADVERTISE" said Nathan,
and then he proceeded to business.
Most Of the applicants who surrounded
the building were former soldiers, sail
ors or marines who had been attracted
by the promise that the wages would
approximate SS day.
According to the police, Nathan, who
lives at 1463 Fifth Avenue and is an
electrician, made an exceedingly bad
beginning. He is alleged to have told
the woud-bc actors that they would
have to pay him $3.50 each before they
got the job. Some paid, but it was
not long before they experienced a
chanage of heart and demanded their
money back A scene of wild confusion
followed a rumor that the advertise
ment was fake, and the temper of the
crowd did not improve when Lipsom
began to give the money back
The applicants proved beyond all
doubt their qualifications to play mob
scene.

Turks and Syrians of lower Washing

being about the most w-abiding col
ony of aliens in all New York, were
gossiping about 9 o'clock last night in
coffee house at Is Washington Street
when four strangers burst in, Giaours,
by their faces, and robbers, perhaps,
by the pistols they hourished.
1t was only few months ago that
robbery and shooting began with Just
such an invasion Of one of the smoke
wreathed coffee houses, and the deni-
zens of is Washington Street laid their
dignity aside and made for the nearest
exits. Tables were upset and ivory
stem1ned pipes and inlaid nargeilehs
went Gathering to the floor with the
tiny cups with which the tables had
been set.
ALA Mahamed Remains Behind
- In the midst of the panic the four
intruders began to blaze away with
their pistols. ALA Mahamed, Turk, of
10 Washington Street, fell with bullet
In his right side. Shrieks and groans
on all sides were redoubled as two or
three men achieved the impossible and
squeezed through window seemingly
TOO narrow for a child to pass.
Others dashed through the kitchen.

they found asylum beneath their own

Patrolman Zips, Of the Old Slip

four robbers into the street.
Instead there was much talk and

tone of authority. Washington Street
beat it wonderingly.
Revenue Men Explain
The four intruders, Patrolman Zips
had discovered, were Agents Manning
Kaiser, Mellen and Pacetta, Of the In
ternal Revenue service. They told
Zips that a man whom they used as
stool pigeon had bought four bags of
opium for them at the coffee house,
and as soon as they had this evidence
they had raided the place.
ALA Mahamed whose wound is
serious, was taken to Bellevue Hospi-

he is under detention as a material

the mob decided they should have re
venge for being made to travel so far
III vain. A rush WAS made for Lipsom
and he just managed to elude the crowd
and lock himself in the building. A
call was sent to the police of the East
104th Street station, and before long
Detectives John Frazer, William Va
chuda and John Mclaughlin arrived.
They arrested Lipsom on a charge of
violating Section 421 of the Penal law,
by inserting false advertisements in n
newspapA
En- route from the hall to the police
station the mob scene was staged with
additional thrills in the way Of denun-
citation and a missile or two. The ap-
plicants refused to leave the police sta
tion and waited until the prisoner
again appeared on his way to Harlem
court When the detectives boarded n
street car with Lipsom some Of the
mob accompanied them and made the
prisoner miserable until he reached the
bar of justice.
Lipsom told the authorities he had
advertised in good faith; that he had
met man named Berger who told him
he was manager of the "Bengol Film
Company" at Fort Totten, and asked
him to get the mob for him.

Bedtime Stories
Farmer Browns Boy Guesses Right
BY Thornton W. Burgess
When thing is bcg1n
Stioi; until the thing is done
Farmer Browns Boy.
BY Thornton W. Burgess

You remember that Farmer Browns
boy left that Bee-tree in the Green
Forest in quite as much of d hurry
as had Buster Bear and in just such
a blind way. He. zoo. bumped into
trees and stumbled over logs. Twice
he fell flat. For a long way those
angry Bees followed Farmer Browns
boy, and by the time they gave up
he was about ready to give up himself.
You see he had run so hard that he was
quite out of breath.
Now, quite naturally. ne had run to-
ward home and so away from the stump
where he had left the jackknife which
had been the cause Of his return to
the Ree-tree just in time to spoil Eus-
ter Bears feast Of golden honey He
had forgotten all about that knife
There were too many things to think
of, including half dozen smarting
places where Bees had tried their sharp
little lances.
It was not until he was telling The
folks at home about the Bee-trce and
Buster Bear that he remembered that
knife. Now, as you know, Farmer
Browns boy thought a great deal Of
that knife. 1t was one of his treasures
So late that afternoon he once more
started for the Green Forest. He knew
that if that knife were left out all
night it would rust, and that would
never do.
AS he drew near the stump on which
he had left that knife he heard a
deep, rumbly, grumbly growl ahead of
him. Farmer Browns boy stopped in
stantly. He knew that growl, 1t was
the same growl he had heard that
morning. 1t was Buster Bears grow
Farmer Browns boy was tempted to
rcn, for that growl had an ugly sound.
Then he remembered the fright of Bus
ter that morning and decided not
to run Besides, he wanted that knife.
For minute or two he stood listen
ing. He heard more growls, but they
came no nearer In fact, they appeared
to come from one place, and that was
very near that old stump on which he
had left the knife. Instantly Farmer
Browns boy became filled with curios-
ity. From the sounds he felt sure that
Buster Bear was too much occupied with
something to be aware Of his presence.
Very, very carefully he stole for
ward until he could part the boughs
of young hcmlock tree and peep
through. There was the old stump and
or IT just where he had left II was his
knife. And there was Buster Bear walk
ing around that old stump with his eyes
fixed on that shining knife and growl-
ing to himself. Farmer Browns boy
chuckled. 1t Was silent chuckle down
inside.

knife and doesn't know what to make

deep knife wound in her throat
Clarence carried her to q drug store
and notified the police. She was dead
when she reached City Hospital The
police found her husband in the cellar,
his throat cut. He was taken to the
hospital. The note which they found
was written 'on Y. NJ. C. A. stationery
and was inscribed Harold Hood and
wife. Take us to 459 South Eighteenth
Street" which led the police to believe
that Hood may have intended to stage
the tragedy elsewhere. The note
follows:
Dear God and People:
"My wife, Adele Hood, has driven me
to this. We have little boy. 1t Just
makes me crazy. My heart aches for
them all the time. Her people are the
cause Of her leaving me. | only want my
wife and dear baby boy But it seems
| will never have them because her
mother told her that if she ever came
back to me her parents door would be
closed to her.
"Peoplc, Parents and Dear God: Just

hereafter. Just let every one know in
