to Adopted Father

-year-old Margaret McNulty was
returned yesterday to the only home
she ever has known, that Of her adopt
ed father, James Swectman, of Rich

Margaret laughed with delight when
she saw her tiny baby brother and her
Grandma" Sweetman, and expressed

was said she was not coming back

accepted Mrs. McNulty's offer to take

J. r. Voorhis, 81, Works
Eight Hours at His Desk
President of Board of Elections,
on Birthday, Says ''.Iust BE
Natural, That's NV Motto''

John R. Voorhis, who as president
OF the BOARD of Elections, is credited
with being the Oldest active public
official in the United States, celebrated
his ninety~frst birth anniversary yes
terday by working for eight hours at
his desk on the eighteenth floor Of
the Municipal Building. Mr.. Voorhis
was born at Pompton Plains, N. j.,
July 27, 1929.
"t haven't an ache or pain and no
rheumatism at ALL" said Mr.. Voorhis
as he received the congratulations of
friends. "Moreover, I have no formula.
| am not one of those old codgers who
are always telling people what to do
in order to live century. Just be
natural, that's my motto.P
Mr.. Voorhis, who lives at 786 Green
wich Street, was one of the settlers
in Greenwich Village when the village
was considered a suburb. He has two
children, four grandchildren and one
great grandchild.
"Instead of observing the usual
custom of receiving presents, I told
them ! would give them each one, which
| did" he said.
He entered the public service more
than fifty years ago. In 1901 he organ
lied the Board of Elections and was
appointed Commissioner of Elections,
a position which he has since held,
with the exception of a few years.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-28

Captain George Warren, Of the
freighter Allies, knew that he would
have twelve passengers besides his
cargo of sugar when he put out from
San Juan, Porto Rico, Few days ago
and headed for Yonkers. He had been
told that the crowded conditions exist
ing in the service of passenger liners
made it necessary. But he did not
know he had six too many until he was
we'll out to sea. And he never sus-
pected he would be called upon to
quell mutiny.
1t all started on day when the ship
was rolling bit in a rough sea and
his twelve legitimate passengers were
below. He was on the bridge and,
with an unhindered view of the decks,
was first to set eyes on his unexpected
guests. There were six of them. They
came up for air one at a time. When
Ramon Ortez, who was the last to
make his appearance, hitched his
breeches and cast disappearing eye
out over the gray water Captain War
ren thought ne was seeing things.
The captain did not have to ask
them what they were doing aboard
his ship. He knew. The thing to do,
since he had them with him and the
law prohibited his throwing them over

board, was to set them to work. But
he rcckoned without Ramon Ortez.
Ramon Is fifteen years old. He says
he is an American citizen. In fact,
when the captain spoke to him con-
cerning the practical use Of a swab,
and told him where he would find a
bucket. young Ramon used his claim
to citizenship with considerable ef-
feet. He not only refused to work be-
cause he was an American citizen, but
he so impressed his older fellow stow
aways that they, too, refused to do
manual labor.
The captain thought that perhaps
after they had some food they would
be more amenable to reason. So he
shooed them to the galley. In about
two minutes harsh noises made him re-
turn, to find Ramon saying nasty things
to the ships cook and making unpleas-
ant comparisons about the food. The
captain called for the irons and had
Ramon locked in the brig.
"Now," he said, turning to the other
five, "arc you fellows going to work or
aren't you?"
The five, watching Ramon kicking his
heels in the hoosgow, went to work.
So it was then that, when the Allies
arrived here yesterday, she slowed down
opposite Ellis Island while the captain
yelled for immigration officials to give
him hand with his mutineers.

Bedtime Stories
Peter Rabbit Is Missed
BY Thornton W. Burgess
a pleasant thing 1t is to learn
Ones absence friends concern
Do+0x poI,l

IT proves that your friends. really
do care for you; that you have
place in their affections. And after
all there is nothing in life finer or
more to be desired than true friend
ships.
Now you know Peter Rabbit had
been so in the habit of visiting the
Green Forest and the Old Orchard
every chance he got that he was al
most as much at home in. those
places as in the dear Old Briar-patch.
For the first two or three days that
Peter remained at home In the Old
Forest and the Old Orchard gave him
hardly q thought. But when several
more days passed and Peter hadn't
been seen he was missed.
Sammy Jay was the first one to
mention the matter. Sammy keeps a
close watch on everybody and every
thing, and there Is little going on in
the Green Forest or the Old Orchard
that Sammy doesn't know about. Early
one morning, as he was making his
rounds, ii came to Sammy that he
hadn't seen Peter for several days.
Sammy said nothing. until he had
visited all the places where Peter was
likely to be found. Of course he
inquire Of the other little people if
they had seen Peter recently. No one
had.
"That is queer" muttered Sammy to
himself. IL have never known Peter
to stay away so long before. | wonder
if anything can have happened to the
long-legged little rascal Goodness,
hope not! Things wouldn't be the
same without Peter poking his wabbly
little nose into everybody's business
but his own. l wonder if Reddy Fox
knows anything about him."
Just then Reddy Fox happened
along. Good morning, Reddy," said
Sammy jay in his laost polite manner
Reddy stopped and looked up at
Sammy Jay suspiciously 1t was very
unusual for Sammy to be so polite
Usually Sammy greeted him with a
harsh scream of "Thief! Thief!
Thief" SO Reddy was suspicious of
Sammy because of his politeness. He
has something on his mind. He wants
to find out something from me-"
thought Reddy Aloud he said, Good
morning, Sammy Jay. This is fine
Jay weather, isn't it ?''
Fair, middling fair. Just a trife

the time he was watching Sammy Jay
sharply while appearing not to do so.
Tie saw look of relief cross Sammys
face and right away he guessed just
what had been in .Sammy's mind
Sammy has missed Peter Rabbit and
thought might have caught him."
thought he. 81 really hadn't thought
anything about Peter until Sammy
mentioned him and then it came to me
that | haven't seen him or any trace
of him for some time. l wonder why"
Sammy and Reddy gossiped for
few minutes, and then Sammy remem-
bered that he had an engagement over
in the Old Orchard and, spreading his
blue wings, flew away Reddv
watched him out Of sight $50 I'm not
the only one who hasn't seen Peter
lately" he muttered. "That blue
coated, meddlesome busybodp hasn't
seen him either, and is trying to find
out what has become of him. won

u. s. Director for New York
Says No More Permits
Will Be Granted to Sell
Liquor at Wholesale
1000 Raise Is Predicted
Prosecution of ALI Dealers
Who Abused Privilege Is
Next Move on Program

The most drastic step thus far taken
to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead act was announced
yesterday by Charles R. O'Connor, Fed
eral Prohibition Director for the State
of New York. Mr.. O'Connor declared
that no more applications for permits
to sell Intoxicating liquor at wholesale
would be received or accepted at his
office. The order, he said, had been
transmitted to Washington and fully
approved by the government.
Mr.. O'Connor says he has staff
of attorneys engaged in the institution
of proceedings for the revocation of
permits on the ground that large guam
titles of whisky and other alcoholic
spirits have been withdrawn from
licensed warehouses for non-beverage
purposes and sold to liquor dealers
Liquor Withdrawals End
Seventeen hundred wholesalers per-
mits have been issued by the permit
division, Mr.. O'Connor said and ap-
plications for withdrawal of whisky
and other spirits have been coming in
at the rate of from forty to fifty
day
"ln every case where a permit is re-
voked," said Mr.. O'Connor. "the holder
has been disqualified from applying for
new permit within year. but this
provision has been practically nullifed
by making the application through
third parties. 1t is to stop this abuse
that the new regulation has been
adopted. This means the end Of liquor
Withdrawals"
The effect Of the order, according to
attaches of Mr.. O'Connors office, will
be to cut down the available supply of
whisky for sale over the bars at least
IS per cent. A drink of "hard stuff"
at SO cents will now go to ST. 75-cent
whisky will bring $3.50 drink, and the
"clite" bars uptown, which have been
dispensing whisky at 81, will advance
their price to 50. The order goes into
effect Immediately.
Whisky Found in Taxi
Joseph An1orisi, of 2 James Street,
Manhattan, was held yesterday in ST.
600 bail by United States Commissioner
Hennessey, of Brooklyn, on a charge
Of transporting two bottles of whisky
alleged to have been found in taxi
cab in Amoris's possession. Amorisi,
accompanied by Miss Rosemary
Trainor, nineteen years old, of 53S
Fourth Street, Brooklyn. and another
man and woman, was arrested by
Policeman Grennan, of the Adams
Street station, just after the taxi had
crossed the Manhattan Bridge. Miss
Trainor had become hysterical and her
cries attracted the officers attention.
The arrest followed and the taxi was
taken to the police station, where Miss
Trainor was given treatment
