WentZ as One of Swim
2 ding Band. -

Substitution of water for whiskey in
liquor sale. which has become an al
most commonplace complaint, was
charged again yesterday In Paterson. by
Ferdinand Ella. who says he paid sl4,-
900 for Is barrels containing nothing but
water. Emil Wentz of Grand Forks.
n. D. who has been arrested here, has
been identified by Ella, the Paterson
police say, as one of the men who swim
died him.
Elias complaint is that ne was ap-
preached BY. three men last month who
offered to sell him 26 barrels of whis-
key, subject to his own test. He went
with them to a garage where they said
the whiskey was stored. where he was
told he could bore a hole in any of the
casks. The whiskey which found It's
way into the contalner he used came
from rubber bag which one of the men
had concealed in his clothes. The same
trick was played recently on John Nc
Laughlin. retired policeman, and Q
former saloon keeper. Wentz is be-
lieved to have had a part in both
cases.
Before Judge Garvin in the Federal
Court In Brooklyn yesterday, attorneys
for Edward J. Donegan and Josep
Freeman, who are under Indictment III

dictrDents therefore do not hold. Done
gan. whose income tax Is at present en-.
gsging the attention of internal revenue
officials, is also under ind.ctmer. ii
Manhattan in connection with al.egct
bootlegginG transactions.
1t was contended that the agents hac
no right to enter Freemans home
where the liquor was seized. Assistant
United States Attorney Kopf declared
that Freeman lived in one part of tbs
house and that the rest was used fol
storage purposes. Judge Garvin ap.
pointed William S. Haggarty u com.
missioner TO determine whether the
whiskey was seized in place of resi-.
dence.

Turkey Market Slumps,
Price As Cents at Close

IT RADING in turkeys, which
i was light at the markets
yesterday morning. increased
heavily In the closing hours, and
the prices dropped from sixty and
seventy cents to forty-fiye and
fifty cents a pound, the forty-five
cent mark being reached at s
o'clock, at Washington Market.
The turkeys were not all gone then.
and the merchants appeared to be
willing to dispose of the birds at
any figure attractive to the buyer
1t was obvious that in many parts
of the city the supply was greater
than the demand. al'l
Board Of Health inspectors put
a damper on trading at the Walla-
bout Market, in Brooklyn. by con-
demning 125.000 pounds of tur-
keys. Cold storage birds soon ar
rived, however, some selling up to
sixty-eight cents, until the day
waned. and the usual price slump
arrived. lt#

FISHERMEN CROWD BEACHES
FOR REMARKABLE NIGHT RUN
Frost Fish by Thousands Driven Upon Sands-Wagon
Loads Carried Away-Police Reserves at
Coney Island Called Out.

Several thousand families will eat fish
to-day instead OF turkey. not because
they don't like turkey or can't afford
II, but because the frost fish-whiting
and ling-were running so strong last
night at the beaches that II seemed a
shame to let them go to waste.
Fishermen crowded the waters edge
at Coney Island. Brighton Beach. Sea
Gate and Manhattan Beach. More than
1000 were on the old Steeplechase Pier
at Coney Island, standing or sitting as
close together as they could. Others
patrolled the beaches in rubber boots.
They carried lanterns and waded along
the sand. where the fish were carried
by the thousands. Some caught the fish
either with their hands or with sacks.
and others used lines with half O. dozen
hooks attached.
Nearly everybody carried away enough
fish to supply his own family and most
of the immediate neighbors. Some came
to the beaches in wagons and after two
The New York herald., 1921-11-24

or three hours drove away with good
load. Old men who have seen the frost
fish come in for many seasons declared
that last nights run was the equal or
anything they ever had seen.
The frost fish are driven toward the
beaches by the larger fish who seek to
eat them. AS they approach the shore
and colder water they become numb and
are carried along the sand, the 1etties
and the breakwaters. Most of the fish
are whiting and of better quality than
the ling.
Police Capt. August Kunne of the
Coney Island station sent all the police
mon available down to the beach to pre-
serve order. 1t would have been easy for
a fisherman to have been washed away
in the darkness without anybody know
ing it. And the policemen were handy
several times when one fisherman mad
vertentiy threw hook into another ono
or there was quarrel over the owner
ship of q fish.

Shining Christians.

Shining Christians.
Only those Christians shine whose
life is Christ. When Christ is allowed
to be fully our life, it is impossible
to cancel the fact that he is our light.
Then we shine because he is shining
in us and through US. His word to
believers, Eye are the light of the
world" must be understood by his
word concerning himself, II am the
light of the world" When it is no
longer we that live, but Christ that
liveth in us, he becomes the light that
men see in us moment by moment as
we abide in him. God wants us to
live in dark, sinful world for this
very purpose, hiatt, "blameless and
harmless, children Of God without
blemish in the midst of crooked and
perverse generation, We are seen
as light in the world" Such silinils
by faith in Christ, draws the attention
of men not to ourselves but to him.
"Do we remember that to shine for
CHRIST
Is service that He loves?
We are but tiny lamps,
And He, the LIGHT,
Is to shine through our lives
AS through clear lenses,
Clensed anew each day;
That He seen, not we,
And others watching, say
Not one word of the lamp, but only
this:
GLOW precious is our LORD, THE
LIGHTw
The Thanksgiving service was en-
joyed by an unusually large congre-
cation. The sermon by Brother
Christian was especially helpful and
timely.
