Driver of Auto in Fatal
Collision Is Arrested
Chauffeur Tells Police He Re.
moved License Plate Be-
cause 1t Was Loose

Nelson S. Pelky, chauffeur, of 1874
Milton Street, Brooklyn, was arrested
yesterday as the driver of the auto
mobile which crashed into another car
sunday night in Forest Hills, Queens,
killing j. Andrew Sattler, of 2514 Pit
Kin Avenue, Brooklyn, and fracturing
the skull of Mrs. Sattler.
The automobile which is said to
have been at f<lt in the collision was
driven away after the accident. Wit
hesses told the police that its driver
got out and removed his license num-
per plate before speeding away. The
number of the car was obtained, how
ever, by Charles Sattler, son of the
man who was killed, and the police
traced tfe machine.
According TO the police, Pelky, who
was held for examination in Jamaica
police court, acknowledged that he was
ariTing the car, but said that the col
lialon was unavoidable. He told them.

nants OF the other car, but as there
seemed to DC crowd there already he
decided that his services would be su-

200 Brides a Day Break
June Record in Ne1u York
License Rush So Great Chief of Bureau Collapses
Under Strain; City Passes Brooklyn Mark; Hint
ed Girls Are Prettier and Men More Persuasive

A Whit of roses in a grimy corridor,
glimpse of girl in white hurrying
UP the stairs while an embarrassed
young man asks question of the near
est newsboy-those are infallible signs
pointing the way to the Marriage lii
cense Bureau these days.
Never was the business in brides
and grooms so prosperous in the Mu-
nicipal Building as it is this year,
regardless of the H. C. of L., the Hous-
ing Shortage and other phantom perils
to young love.
The newsboy at the foot of the white
marble stairs leading to the Marriage
License Bureau can recognize bride
the minute she enters the building,
and has grown hoarse telling young
men that it's the second door on the
right, while the blase policeman who
conducts them through the mysteries
of registration has packed up his
philosophy and takes them all as
mere days work now.
Bride Record is Broken
This June boasts the record for
brides. There have been 4,453 licenses
taken out already, with two days to go,
at the rate of about 200 a day. Chief
Scully who used to preside over the
bureau, as much part of every New
York romance as the wedding ring
itself, has broken down under the
strain. His place as major domo for
Cupid is taken by L. A. Hart, who is
proud of his pame.
"I don't know where all these
New-York tribune., 1920-06-29
By Thornton W. Burgess

reter Rabbit sat among the rushes
on the shore Of the Laughing Brook
where it enters the Smiling Pool and
watched Jerry Muskrat work. Jerry
was building a little landing of rushes
and mud. He had it almost finished
1t was little landing, just big enough
for Jerry to sit on comfortably, and it
was out from the shore just enough
for Jerry to be able to dive from it
into water deep enough to cover him
completely and enable him to reach
self
Now, you know Peter Rabbit doesn't
like work. The only work he does is
cutting little paths through the dear
Old Briar-patch, and he wouldn't cut
these if he didn't have to in order to
get about. No, Peter doesn't like work
He is too happy-go-lucky. He would
rather be uncomfortable than do a
little work to make himself comfort
able, and there are many people like
him. Queer how people can be like
that, isn't it?
But Jerry Muskrat is just the op-
posite. Jerry likes to work because he
likes to enjoy the things which result
work all the time. Oh my, no! No
indeed! Jerry is as fond of playing
and of visiting his friends as any one
know. But Jerry is too wise to waste
time wishing for thing he can get by
working for it. He isn't lazy There
isn't lazy bone in him.
SO all the time he was gossiping there
by his little landing he was working.
while Peter Rabbit sat in idlcness.
Jerry would disappear under water.
Presently he would pop up with bit
Of sod or mud to add to that little
landing, and while he put it where it
was most needed he gossiped with
Peter.
Now Jerry was doing two things at
once--working and talking. Some
folks can talk while they work and not
let one thing interfere with the other.
You see all the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows,
the Smiling Pool and the Old Pasture
are taught to do two things at once
from the time they are big enough to
learn at all They arc taught that
whatever else they may be doing. work
ing or playing, they must at ull times
keep watch for danger.
But to do three things at the same
time is more than most folks can &C
conplish. 1t was so with Jerry. He
could work and keep watch. He could
work and gossip. But he couldn't work
and gossip and keep watch all at tho
same time. SO Jerry didn't keep watch.
In the first place it didn't seem ncces-
sary. Not since he had begun the
building Of that little landing had
Jerry seen the smallest sign Of danger.

romances come FROM" he said yester-
day. 81 thought all the soldiers had
como come from the war and married
their best girls last year, and that
we shauld have a dull time this year.
But this is the biggest year we ever
had. Maybe the boys had to wait a
while to find job before they got
married. That's the only explanation
I can find for it.
Brooklyn Bureau Is Beaten
"It's too early yet to say how the
total for the year will work out, but
we have beaten every June for the
last five years. In 1914 we supplied
3,808 couples with marriage licenses.
In 1917 the number was 4,024-that
was the period of the Stacker weddings
as we'll as of lot of good honest
Americans who wanted to get married
before they went to war.
"In 1918 there was a slump. of
course, and we had only 3,679 June
brides. Last year there were 1894,
and this ear 4,453. The biggest ear
as whole was 1917. We had 41,968
couples here for licenses. In 1919
there were 40,075 and in 1918 35,446.' y
Mr.. Hart pointed out with pride that
though Brooklyn had surpassed Man
haitian in population, according to the
new census, the Manhattan office does
twice as big a business as the mar
riage mill across the river. Nobody
could be found to stand publicity for
the statements that the girls of Man
haitian were prettier or the men more
persuasive.

only one who had found that landing,
and Peter was quite harmless. The
rushes grew tall behind it and on two
sides of it so that it was we'll hidden.
So Jerry felt quite safe and quito
forgot that often the time to watch
out sharpest is when one feels safest.
AS for Peter Rabbit, he had nothing
to do but talk, and so it was an easy
matter for him to keep watch at the
same time. He did it without really
knowing that he was doing it. And
1T was just as we'll for Jerry Muskrat
that he did.
Peter was right in the midst of tell
ing Jerry about Jimmy Skunk and Farm
or Browns boy when he caught sight
OF what seemed nothing more than a
moving shadow just above the tops of
the rushes. Peter didn't finish what he
was saying. The second he saw that
moving shadow he thumped the ground
hard with his hind feet and spranc
headlong in where the rushes grew
thickest.
Jerry Muskrat was sitting on his
little landing. He didn't stop to ask
what tho trouble was. He didn't stop
to look around. At the thump of
Peters feet Jerry dived with n splash
into the water and as he did so two
feet with great hooked claws reached
down and just missed him. But for
Peter Rabbit some one would have had
a Muskrat dinner that night, and that
some one was Hooty the Owl.
