Former Gov. Alfred L. Smith will be

dicted with Maurice 1. Rosenberg, an
insurance agent OF 154 Nassau street.
on a charge of extorting 5000 from
Mrs. Rebecca Smith of "a Atlantic ave.
nue.. Brooklyn, it being alleged they
convinced her that through their in
fluence they could obtain from Gov.
Smith Communication of the prison
sentence of her husband. Jacob. serv-
ing five to ten years for arson in
Auburn Prison.
The trial Is before Judge Charles c.
Mott in General Sessions. Former Gov.
Smith will be called by the prosecu-
ton, Assistant District Attorney John
j. Cunneen indicated yesterday Roser-
berg and Lazarus were indicted Sep
tember 2s, 1920, but are being tried sepa-
rately
Charles Stenberg, a lawyer of Jer-
sey City. testified yesterday that in
July, 1870, he asked Rosenberg whether
he could do anything toward getting
the pardon. Stenberg was then acting
as Mrs. Smiths attorney. Rosenberg
MIN 10 LII. LdZdTuS, dt-
scrbed as Gov. Smiths personal physi-
clan. and Stenberg was informed, ac
cording to his testimony. that pardon
could be obtained for 5000. He was
told. he said. that $1,000 was to go TO
the Democratic campaign fund, $1,000
to Gov. Smith and the remaining $1,000
was TO pay the expenses of Rosenberg
and DR. Lazarus.
II knew the money wasn't going to
the Governor" Stenberg testified. II
knew IL was a lie. All I was concerned
with was that Rosenberg got 5000
Mrs. Smith was informed eommu-
tation had been obtained on August
90 1920, according to Assistant District
Attorney Cunneen in his opening argu-
ment, who said the money was paid
over to Rosenberg and Lazarus.
1t developed that Gov. Smith, acting
on a petition for clemency by citizens
of Cayuga county. where Jacob Smith
was part owner of a creamery. had
already signed a Communication OF the
sentence when he learned of the allega-
tion that influence had been used" IN
obtaining the pardon. He promptly re-
yoked 1t.
When her husband did not get his
freedom Mrs. Smith had Rosenberg and
Lazarus arrested.

5TH A VENUE REFUSES TO FIX
STANDARDFOR SKIRT HEIGHT
England Declares for Eight Inches Above Ground and
France for Ten, but Individual Taste Continues
to Rule Here, Fashion Dictator Says.

The League Of Nations and the next
move Of the Bolsheviki may be OF in
terest TO some people. but the thing
that is causing wholesale palpitation OF
the heart among dressmakers Of Eng
land, France and the United States is
the length Of the skirt This great issue
has now become an international three
cornered problem, with England already
having decided upon a decorous drop
ping of this part of feminine apparel TO
the shoetops, and France has decided to
continue the short skirt.
The decisions of the French and Eng
lish fashion arbiters leave the United
States cropping in the air. unable TO de-
eide which TO follow. The long skirt
has been definitely classified, principally
by those who have excellent reasons for
wearing short ones as very decorous
but very dowdy. while the wearers of
the long skirts call the short one inde-
cent and brazen. Dressmakers declare
the question has not yet been settled so
far as the United States is concerned.
although walk up Fifth avenue yester-
day revealed skirts of almost any length,

before County Judge Burt j. Humphrey
in Queens County Court on an indict-
ment charging him with the murder of
Prof Wilfred F. Kotkov In Woodhaven
two months ago. was a witness in his
own behalf yesterday
Nunzlata repudiated a signed confess
sion offered by the state and said he
had made it only after detectives had
beaten him with a piece of rubber hose
This confession says Nunzlata struck

Verona, and that Verona obtained the
iron bar and struck the blow that killed

The AMPICO

as a famous writer has said,
differs from the ordinary
player-piano as living, healthy
man differs from wax figure
or a carved statue. 1t has life"
It does. indeed, seem as If a
master-musician must be seated
at the keys of this superb in
strument, so perfect is its re-
production, not only Of the COM
position, but of the human
touch. the characteristic indi-
vidual expression Of the great
artists from whose playing its
records were made.
With the AMPICo in your
home il is possible to have there
at command the music Of
Beethoven, Chopin, of Mendels-
sohn and all the great masters
whose compositions you have
perhaps longed to play.
Equally, it provides you with
the old ballads, the popular
songs, the best dance music, il
you like.
1t is perfect piano-playing,
this OF the AMPICO. "To me-"
says the famous writer quoted
above, "the AMPICO is A
CONTINUAL MIRACLE AND
SURPRISE"

from those that almost sweep the ground
to those that barely sweep the knee.
Charles kurzman of Fifth avenue, one
OF the foremost American authorities
on fashions. said ten inches from the
ground is the skirt length adopted by
the really nice French women.
''rhe Frencn woman or recognized
social standing never wore skirts above
her shoetops." said Mr. Kurzman.
But even this does not settle It, be-
cause some women wear higher shoes
than others. Mr.. Kurzman says the
reason English women have virtually
adopted eight inches from the ground
as the proper length of the skirt is
because they are not constructed to
make an exposure of calf and ankle
either becoming or advantageous, while
almost all French and American women
are. Mr.. Kurzman and all of the other
American authorities, however, express
the opinion of the American woman will
continue to do as she has been doing,
which is to make good taste and becom-
ingness her guiding principle in dress.
II she looks well In short skirts she will
wear them: if she looks best In long
skirts she will wear long ones.

When Fortune
Favored the Brave

In those days there were no
such large stores as there are
now.
People were not known to
visit and enjoy the sights of
new goods as they do now.
In old times a manager stood
inside of the store and directed
all comers.
When a locker said, Il will
take that" the purchase was a
sealed pact; and nothing was
expected to come back, and
when it did it was for exchange
and not for return of money.
All this was changed by the
New Grand Depot. People
focked to it and they have
done so ever since.
They were, and are still, al
