Bedtime Stories
Chatterer Makes Fun of Buster Bear
BY Thornton W. Burgess
tongue that is un'4ly makes,
must IN truth confess,
lot of trouble and is bound
TO get folks in a mess.
-Chatterer the Red Sauirrel

In all the Green Forest there is no
more unruly tongue than the tongue of
Chattsrer the Red Squirrel. 1t seems
that he can no more keep it still than
can water run up hill. Perhaps it is
because he likes the sound of his own
voice. Whatever the reason, Chatterer's
tongue is going a large part Of the
time he is awake.
1t wouldn't be so bad if no one but
himself got in trouble as a result OF
that unruly tongue, but quite as often
IS not it gets other people in trouble
This is the reason that Chatterer is
not loved by his neighbors Most of
them look on him as a mischief maker
and you know a mischief maker never
is loved.
Now it just happened that Chatterer
saw Buster Bear trying to dig out
Whitefoot, the W ood Mouse He was
In tree close by and he saw all that
happened. lie saw Whitefoot dive into
his little tunnel and he saw Buster
Bear tear up the ground with his great
claws. He saw Whitefoot dart out of
another doorway and climb the tree
right back of Buster and hide in hol-
low in dead branch halfway up.
1t tickled Chatterer 1t always does
tickle him to see any one bigger than
himself fooled by any one. Chatterer
fairly hugged himself in glee as he
watched Buster Bear working so hard
for nothing
Go it, Buster! Go it!" he shouted
"Don't let such pinch of nothing get
away from you'll I've heard Whitefoot
boast that you are not smart enough
to catch him, and now is your chance
to get him!"
Buster did GO it. He made the dirt
fly as he tore up the ground with his
great claws. 1t was very exciting and
Chatterer jerked his tail until it was
wonder he didn't snap it off. All the
time he kept shouting announcement
to Buster Bear and urging him to dig
faster
But at last Buster had torn up the
ground all around without finding
Whitefeot the Wood Mouse and real,
ized that somehow he had been fooled
He stopped digging and on his face
was decidedly foolish look. Then
Chatterer grew saucy and impudent.
He began to make fun Of Buster Bear.
His tongue fairly flew
Stupid Stupid! Stupid," he shrieked.
Buster Bear isn't smart enough to
catch little Wood Mousel You couldn't

Umbrella Rib Used
To Stab Woman to
Death i'm Dark Flat
Fingerprints on Dollar Bill
Give Police Clew to MUIR
derer; Neighbors Heard
Scream at Time of Crime

4 yxrd-long umbrella RIB and =
hlood-stained dollar bin are the chief
clews possessed by detectives who are
investigating the murder yesterday OF
Mrs. Annie Horowitz in the fat Of an
italian at 429 Cherry Street. lmprints
Of the murderers fingers were clearly
Wsible on the bill, and q description OF
q man suspected has been sent broad
east with an order for his arrest.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Herman
Horowitz, husband Of the slain woman
told neighbors that his wife had gone
TO the Italians apartment TO clean It.
She was janitress Of the building
where the crime took place. When she
cid not return her husband tried the
door ef the fiat, found 1t locked and
notified the police.
Detectives broke down the door. In
ono Of the darkened rooms they found
the body Of Mrs Horowitz stretched on
the floor. There were wounds in her
throat and her left side. 1t Is thought
she was stabbed with the umbrella rib
Tenants told the police that earlier
in the morning they had heard q
scream, but were unable to trace its
source. They remembered, they said
seeing the Italian saunter forth with
an old-fashioned sword under his arm
a few minutes before the crime WAS
discovered. Little was thought of this
because he was generally believed to
be feeble minded
According to Thomas Fallon, watch
man, Of 434 Cherry Street, who saw the
Italian leave the house, he wore a light
cap, a pepper-and-sa suit, khaki trous-
ers. tan shoes and had weeks growth
Of beard on his face.
1t is believed that after Mrs. Horo-
witz entered the room she was at
tackled, and then n fear Of discovery
was brutally murdered.
The suspect was described as being
3 feet l inch tall, of slim build, weigh
ing about 118 pounds. He is dark feat
ured and has light red hair.

Little Lady Of the Dew Wins
Approval Of Church Members
But Two Plaster Indians by Borglum Arouse 1ndig-
nation at St. Marks at Unveiling Marking the
l25th Anniversary of City's Oldest Congregation

Tho 125th anniversary Of the incor>
poration Of St. Marks In the Bouwere,
which stands at Tenth Street and Sec
ond Avenue ON the oldest consecrated
ground In tho city. was celebrated yes
terday by the unveiling Of three statues
by Solon II. Borglum, sculptor and
brother Of Gutzon Borglum.
The event also marked the tenth an
niversary Of tho rectorship Of the Rev.
Dr. William Norman Guthrie, whose
Idea it was to have Borglum do the
statues for the church. The commits
sion was given before the war, but the
work was interrupted by the artists
service in France and the three figures
were not completed until recently.
Two of the statues, built to a nine
foot scale, represent American Indians,
partly nude, and have been placed In
the ancient portico Of the church flank
ing the main entrance. The third, en-
titled Little Lady of the Dew" is that
of a nude girl in a kneeling posture.
1t stands beside small fountain in the
historic churchysrd. in which the found
ers of many Of New York's oldest fam
white marble and is silhouetted sharp
ly against q background of thirteen
cedars trees, representing the original
thirteen states Of the Union.
Approved by Members
Guthrie took occasion to deny that a
controversy had developed among his
congregation as to the propriety Of hav-
ing the statue of nude woman in a
churchyard.
The pastor Of St. Marks declared
that the little Lady Of the Dew" had
met with the approval of all the mem
bers Of the church, most of whom are
agents living in the neighborhoo and
that he had heard only words of praise
spoken of the work. The girlsh figure
is supposed to depict beauty, innocence
and chastity, virtues which DR.. Guthrie
seemed to think should be barred from
no churchyard
There is, however, far from mild
controversy disturbing the usual tran
guilty of old St. Marks congrega-
ton. But it doesn't concern the nude
lady in the least. It's ali about the
huge and rather unprepossessing look
ing Indians who have reared their sin
ewy figures at either side of the quaint
old entrance to the church.
1t seems that one conservative mem
ber of the congregation couldn't see
what right couple of nine-foot saw
ages had hanging around the tiny and
altogether charming entrance to St.
Marks anyhow.
There are others in the congrega-
ton who view the heroic figures in
similar light and, together, they have
raised a protest. Against them are ar
rayed many members of the church
who see in the statues real "inspira-
ton" and "aspiration," the titles which
Mr.. Borglum has given them.
"Aspiration" is nude except for a
breech clout, has his arms STRAIGHT

Hunt Blanes Enright
For Epidemic of Crime

Charles W. Hunt, whose resignation
as secretary to Third Deputy Police
Commissioner Faurot was forced Cat
urday by Police Commissioner En-
right, asserted yesterday that the En-
right regime in the Police Department
was responsible for the epidemic of
crimes of violence. He said that the
Police Commissioner did not have the
support OF the rank and file of the de-
partment and he was going to split
things wide open unless he was re-
instatcd.
His explanation of Commissioner En-
rights demand for his resignation was
that in causing the arrest of two men
whom he accused of robbing him he
had offended powerful friends of the
prisoners. The men whose arrest he
caused September % are Thomas
Duffy, chauffeur, of 404 East 151st
Street, :he Bronx, and George W. No
lnley. OF 412 West Fiftieth Street.

Mr.. Hunt said that an individual

him that the prisoners were old friends
of his and that he was intoxicated at
the time of the alleged robbery.

Richard Vorsky got in from Buffalo,

his overalls, tangled belligerently as
he dashed here and there about DeKalb
Avenue, making threatening passes
with the sword.
He was master Of the field when the
headlight Of an approaching trolley car
ginted on the armor Of Vorsky. With
out hesitation he straddled the track
and swept fearsome circles with his
sword. The trolley car stopped and Its
motorman began. Vorsky apparently
was on the point Of answering the oral
challenge with the might of his right
hand and good sword when another car
bore down upon him from the other
direction.
Vorsky wheeled and stopped that car
also. He rapidly was becoming dizzy
from his efforts to threaten bo-h storm

Kever collared him and yanked him to
the curb with a dismal clango-. The

turned out to have a 30-inch blade
from his prisoner and marched him to

whence he was sent to Kings County
Hospital for observation. He ha 1921.
