BOY FALLS45FEET
Little Frank Takes Steep Plunge
Off fire-Escape and
SmaSheS Insect.

NEW YORK, April Drank Spa
daro wasn't thinking of anything in
particular yesterday afternoon as he
sat on the fire escape in the rear OF
his home in Brooklyn. This may have
been because Frank is only five years
old and II may have been because as
far as he knew there was nothing
else in the world worth bothering
about.
But, unfortunately. he was dressed
I'm raiment befitting the warm wealth
er. with a little here and a little there
and not very much anywhere. He was,
therefore, fair ana inviting game for
an early mosquito that had wandered
over from New Jersey and reached
the wilds of Brooklyn. The mosquito
went to the feast and at the first bite
Frank squirmed. But at the same
nip he was alarmed. because he was
sitting on the fire escape, korty-five
feet above the ground, only after he
had given his mother positive guar
antees he would be careful, would not
move and would not fall off.
SO when he squirmed at the bite of
the ravenous flier from Jersey IL was
with reluctance. But this particular
mosquito is-or was, because, alas, he
is no more-very fond of little boys:
they dull neither his appetite nor his
bill. He therefore plunged again, and
again Frank squirmed, and it Is to be
feared that he said words to that mo-
squito that little boys are not sup
posed even to know. And after that

|NSULTED CLIENTS
Man Who Ran Bogus mill"
Rude to Women, Many
Declare.

NEW YORK. April 6.-Herbert F..
Miller, the bogus lawyer who ran a
fake divorce mill in West Thirty
fourth street. Manhattan. made love
to many OF the women who answered
hts advertisements for free advice on
matrimonial affairs.
Evidence to this effect poured In
yesterday on District Attorney Leo
Parsons Davis OF Westchester Coun-
ty at White Plains.
Mr.. Davis and his assistant. walter
Ferris. will present the evidence Of
how Miller not only defrauded his
clients, but also deceived Lewis N.
Ellrodt. Westchester County, County
clerk. to the grand jury tomorrow.
Many women who were deceived by
false DEGREES will appear at White
Plains to testify on that day.
Other witnesses will include Su-
preme Court justices whose initials
Miller signed to bogus interlocutory
DEGREES which he filed with faxed
evidence in the county clerks Of
fee at White Plains.
At least two Of these justices are
expected to testify that they signed
final divorce DEGREES based on fraud
ulent papers presented by Miller. -
James K. Wilkinson. former law
partner of Miller. has told District At
torney Davis that on many occasions
women who answered Miller's adver-
tisement rushed from his private Of
nee screaming that he had attempted
to take liberties with them.
Mr.. Davis was also told that Miller,
who has a wife and child in the
Bronx. also maintained an apartment
in Greenwich Village, and that he was
closely associated with a French
woman for whom he procured a d.
vorce and who frequently visited his
Thfrty-fourth street Office.
District Attorney Davis refused to
make public yesterday the addresses
of the men and women to whom Mil
Ter issued bogus divorce DEGREES. He
said that In many cases his process
servers, in endeavorinG to locate the
parties to these papers. had ascer-
tanned that the addresses given In the
papers filed by Miller were fictitious.

FURTHER LOANS ON
COTTON EXPORTS
Heavy Advances to Bankers by
U. S. Government Expected
In Near Future.

Negotiations are under way today
looking to further large Government
loans to aid the movement of export
cotton shipments.
The War Finance Corporation, en-
ploying the powers given II by Con-
gress to restore the trade movements
now blocked for lack of credit. has
decided to come to the rescue of the
Southern cotton industry.
Following closely the conference
between the corporation officials and
a score of bankers of the South. the
War Finance Corporation has acted
quickly in approving the application
of a large Southern financial institu-
tion for q Government export loan OF
S100, 900. This forecasts other SINH
lar advances to banks and to export
associations that may be formed as a
result, of the plans formulated at con-
ferences here
Further conferences which are TO
be held in different parts of the South
within the next few days between
bankers and exporting interests pur-
probably will develop early applica-
tions for additional Government ad-
yances to finance cotton exports TO
Europe. 1t Is said to be probable that
exporters will endeavor to negotiate
transactions with importers In Ger
many and other central European
powers as q result of the new policy
Of the Government In opening the way
for Government aid to exports to that
part of Europe.

for quite a considerable time Il was
Just one squirm after another. and
with each squirm Frank edged closer
to the opening In the fire escape.
Finally the mosquito plunged for
one last bite and Frank squirmed
himself right through the opening
and down he went. He almost struck
Mrs. Jennie Traina, who lives on the
floor below and who was hanging out
some clothes, but he sailed past her
head with only. very little to spare
and continued on to the pavement.
There he landed and everybody ran
out OF the apartment houses expect
ing to find the boy crushed and
broken, because forty-five feet Is
quite a distance for a little boy to
fall. But he wasn't hurt. He was
quite as good as he ever was. but the
mosquito that had caused II all was
total loss. II seems that he had got
himself entangled in what few
clothes Frank wore just as the boy
squirmed for the last time, and when
Frank landed the mosquito was on
the wrong side.
