City Repairs Pier Y;
Will Go to High Bidder
Maritime shipping Corporation
Has Held Lease at $4,000
aYear

Murray Hubert, Commissioner of
Docks, announced yesterday that tn q
city had started dredging and repair
work at Pier 72, at Twenty-fourth
Street and the East River, and when
1t was completed, about month hence,
would lease the pier to the highest
bidder. For seven months the pier
has been leased by the Maritime Ship
ping Corporation at $4,000 a year.
Commissioner Hubert said the terms
of the lease permitted him to termi-
nate 1t at the end of any month
1T was true, he said, that in one in
stance the Maritime Shipping Corpora
tion got $3.50 a day for Wharfage space
on the pier. That was not an exces
slve charge under present conditions,
he said, but the company had only re-
celved that much from single vessel,
no other ships paying more than $3.50
a day for the privilege.
He said the Maritime Shipping Cor
poration was the highest bidder for
the pier last October, Moore & Nc
Cormick having withdrawn bid by
which the city would have <rcceived
only 81 for the years lease. but such
dredging and repairs as were started
yesterday would have been done by
Moore & Mccormick. 1t is estimated d
this work will cost the city more than

Rug Dealer Brings Home
Bride He Stole in Hnren1
Armenian Arrives in u. S. From Turkey With Slave
Girl Wife and Her Small Son, Besides Woman
Who Will Wed His Friend, if She Is Admitted

BY the aid Of money, which accom-
plishes much in Turkey, Harri Yasz-
majian, an Armenian rug dealer Of
Cambridge, Mass, made rSid upon
the harem Of Najif Bey, in Constanti-
nople, few months ago and captured
bride Of twenty-five. The raid also
netted him Hagop, the brides five
year-old son, and her cousin. Anna
Sherbetdjian, an Armenian belle of
twenty-eight, who is going to marry
one Hampirsoon Terekelyian, of Phil
adelphia, whom she has never seen.
All except the prospective bride
groom from Philadelphia arrived here
yesterday on the Italian liner San
Giorgio.
Slave Girl Abducted
The story of love conquests which
reflect much credit upon the patriot
ism of Armenian swains was revealed
yesterday by the Cambridge rug deal
er, who said ne was we'll satisfied with
his attack upon the harem of Najif
Bey.
Mr.. Yaszmajian was roaming around
the Turkish capital one day when he
met some Of his countrymen and con-
tided to them that he would like wife,
an Armenian girl, who might be in

Scraps of French Book
DO Not Prove 1t Naughty
jury Must Listen to Entire
Work in $4,000 Suit ON
Vice Accusation

:. A jury, in the Supreme Court, will
listen to-day to the reading of a
French classic, whose modesty is in
question. The book has 500 pages
and, although some Of the alleged OBJ
scene passages of the work were read
in court yesterday, Justice McAvoy
decided that the story must be taken
in its entirety before an intelligent
verdict can be reached
The story which the 1920 jury is to
pass on is "Mille. du Maupin,' pub
lished in 1886. Its obscenity and i'm
morality is alleged by the New York
Society for the Suppression of Vice.
Raymond D. Halsey was arrested in
1917 on the complaint Of the society
for selling copies of the French work.
He was acquitted of the charge and
brought suit for $4,000 for false ar
rest. Once before his suit has been
tried and Halsey recovered an $1,000
verdict. This the Appellate Division
set aside, ordering q new trial, which
is now in progress.
OF the passages read yesterday, Jus
tice McAvoy said he thought they had
a degenerating tone but insisted that
the reading of the entire work should
be had,

heard Of such woman safe in the con-
fines of the menage Of Najif Bey.
He was grizzled Ottoman, terrible
Turk, who was cruel to his servants,
some of whom had the keys to the
gilded gates of his harem. The rug
dealers friends thought the turnkey
could be fixed for about $500.
The cash was paid and at midnight,
when the moon dropped behind cloud,
the abduction was accomplished and
Wartannay Karablukian, the Armenian
slave girl, her son Hagop and her
cousin Anna, were brought safely to
the lodgings of their liberator.
Job Cost Him $4,000
Najif Bey, discovering his loss, start
ed search for his favorite, who had
been with him for six years, and even
offered reward of e. 900 in British
gold for the return of Hagop, whom he
loved.
By shrewd contriving the rug dealer
and his ransomed slaves got out of
Constantinople on Rumanian steam
ship for Naples, where they boarded
the San Giorgio for this port.
The job cost $4,000, but Mr.. Yaszma-
jian said yesterday it was we'll worth
the price.
Hampersoon Terekelyian will come
on from Philadelphia to-day to marry
Anna, the cousin of Wartannay, if the
immigration officials are willing to let
her enter the country.

Christian Science
Parents ON Trial
For Child's Death
Manslaughter Charged in
Diphtheria Case; No Doc.
tor Saw Girl; Member of
Faith Barred From Jury

Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Walker, Chris
tian Scientists, living in Bloomfield,
N j., were put on trial yesterday in the
Court of Special Sessions, Newark,
charged with manslaughter in causing
the death of their eight~ycar- old daugh-
ter, Dorothy, through negligence. The
child died of diphtheria May q, 1919.
No physician attended her and she re-
ceived Christian Science treatment.
DR.. Charles V. Craster. Health Officer
of Newark, where the Walkers lived at
the time of their daughters death, tes-
titled that there were 1866 cases of
dlphtheria In that city in 1919. In
seventy-nine cases. he said, anti-toxin
was not used, and in fourteen of such
cases death resulted. In the cases
where anti-toxin was used, he said, the
death rate was only "a per cent.
Judge Harry V. Osborne denied a
motion made by counsel for the de-
tense to dismiss the indictment on the
ground that it alleged that the defend
ants did "by force and arms feloniously
Kill and slay," while the prosecution in
it's opening address had asserted that
the chlld's death was due to negligence.
He denied also motion to dismiss
the Indictment against Mrs. Walker
on the ground that courts had held
that it was the duty of the father
rather than of the mother to care for
and protect the children. Remarkinr
that the woman of the present would
not agree with that decision, Judge Os-
borne said that the motion might be
renewed when the prosecution had
rested the case.
GREAT interest was manifested in the
case, and the courtroom was crowded
with spectators. Samuel J. MacDon-
aid, one of the attorneys for the Walk
ers, said that the forty-fve Christian
Science churches in New Jersey had
volunteered financial backing for the
defense. 1t was said that the mother
church, in Boston. also was interested.
Only by using a peremptory chal-
lenge did the prosecution keep a men,
Der of the church out of the iurv box.
He is Fl. j. Bley, of Montclair, N. j..
and had been accepted by counsel for
noth sides. He was about to be sworn
when it was discovered that he was a
Christian Scientist. -

Missing Butte Girl
Father Replies to ''Ad'' De-
manding Ransom; Says
He Will Give His Last
Cent for Child's Return

In dismal rear fiat on the fourth
floor of JIG East 116th Street, Louis
Butte, cigar maker, and his family
are waiting anxiously the outcome of
a personal" advertisement inserted in
an evening newspaper yesterday in re-
sponse to an anonymous stenciled note.
Upon this advertisement apparently
rests the safety Of Bulte's fourteen
yearold daughter Henrietta, who dis
appeared three weeks ago while on her
way to deposit $265 in a Harlem bank
amount and where ransom is to be
paid. Louis Butte" Thus reads the
advertisement at the foot of a column
on the financial page. 1t was inserted
in compliance with the demand made
in the anonymous note by Butte on
Sunday-the first definite piece of in
formation he has received since his
daughter disappeared.

but l will pay all l have to get my girl

had returned from a fruitless search
for information.
In the meantime the 5000 pupils of

schoolmate. Their aid in the search
was enlisted yesterday by Principal
Helen A. Stein, who went through each
of the sixty classrooms and gave the
pupils a detailed description of the
missing girl.
a feel sure there is foul play in
this case" said Miss Stein, "Henrietta
was an unusually bright child Of ex-
cellent character and not at all the sort
Of girl who runs away from home.'
The insertion Of the advertisement
was on the advice of detectives from
the bureau of Missing Persons, who
have been looking for the girl for the
past three weeks.
At the Butte home yesterday, Charles
l.. Weiher, retired physician living at
the Hotel Willard, called upon his for
mer patients. He later showed report
ers an itenized bill for $25 for SER
vices rendered in 1907, that Butte had
just paid.
"This shows said DR., Weiher,
that the reports Butte is rich are un-
true. I have known the family for
many years and they have always been
in poor circumstances. When I saw
the report that "a rich girl was miss
ing l came here to see what l could
do"
DR.. Weiher showed the bill in order
to emphasize the fact that Butte could
not pay large ransom, he said.

Henrietta got her money and her bank
book and are trying to get as much
from me as they can," said Butte yes
terday.
Mrs. Butte declared positively that
all reports of her daughter being
"movie struck" were ridiculous and

Mrs. Butte, "but l would give every

A very definite word
to the patrons of
this Store and the
public in general

puDllc In general
TH1S Store, true to it's founda-
l. tions, stood throughout the
War, as at all other times, first
for its customers.
During the past four years our net
profits have averaged less than five
per cent. on the sales-less than five
cents on the dollar. AS a matter of
fact, retail merchandising. in the wav
we do it, has actually been somewhat
less profitable during wartime than in
normal times.
No one knows better than mer-
chant that the raising of prices is al
ways hindrance to the increase Of
business. No storekeeper expects that
the raising of prices will bring him
We felt it was our duty from the be-
ginning to stand against rise in prices
and we made the strongest endeavor
we were capable of to keep them
down from the start, as will be very
well remembered by the thousands of
people who came in and found US SELL
ing the last lots of our foreign goods
bought before the War, at no raise in
prices, and who knew that we never
put up our prices on any of our mer-
chandise until compelled to do so bv
the higher costs of new lots that
came in.
Through all the years we have
studied to hold worthy position as
merchants, and by long continuance
OF relations with the best manufac-
turers OF goods, and being the largest
purchasers from many of them, we
have secured in many instances large
advantages, getting all the discounts
possible for cash and thus putting our
selves in the most strategic position
to be of assistance to our customers.
Now comes time when we want
to take another step. 1t will be at a
sacrifice to us. We can do no loss
than make another effort to bring
down prices with the hope of influ-
encing manufacturers to reduce tho
cost of manufacturing.
And what we are doing is also with
the hope that our best friends. the
great army of workers, will see that
the only way the country can get
lower prices, and at the same time
sustain the high wages that labor is
entitled to, is, instead of demanding
fewer hours, to stand by the ma
chinery for greater production.
