What Choice?

John Shelton Williams, Democrat
and recently a member of the Federal
Reserve Board, charges the majority
members of the Board with practic-
ing favoritism in controlling credits.
The Chairman of the Board, also a
Democrat, characterizes Williams in
language that is not at all compli-
mentary. Far be it from us to de-
eide a controversy between two high
officials of the Democratic admins
traton concerning the folly of some of
the policies pursued. but let us at
least remind the contestants that the
Federal Reserve law was the Aldrich
law in most particulars but differed
from the Aldrich measure chiefly in
trying to keep control of credits out
of the hands of large bankers. What
trolled by bankers and credits con-
trolled by bankers and credits con-
trolled by politicians?

Half of Grew of Alacrita,
Which Foundered in Hur-

lapse as Vessel Docks
In Violent Sea Four Days
When Found Six Men We're
Unconscious and Several
Delirious; Had No Food

Captain Giuseppe Schiafino and
twenty-nine men of the Italian
freighter Alacrita, which foundered in
hurricane at sea nine days ago,
reached New York yesterday on board
the Spanish cargo ship Cabo Cruex.
They had been trying to reach the
coast in an open boat without drinking
water or supplies.
The Alacrita foundered September
16, when sudden hurricane caught her
broadside and unshipped her rudder.
The ship was thrown on her beam ends
and with a shifted cargo was unable to
right herself. With a heavy list to
starboard, she lay exposed to the
tremendous sea which tore off her
matches and flooded the hold. The
cargo of loose grain became saturated
and efforts to pump the water out
were vain. Captain Schiaffino and his
crew kept the pumps going eight hours,
at the end of which time the storm
abated, but the ship was sinking
stern first and on the morning of Sep
tembcr II was abandoned. Ten
minutes after being deserted, the
Alacrita sank

crew were insufficiently clad and suf-

unconscious and several were delirious.
The Alacrita's home port was Savanna,
Italy. Sho was built twenty-seven
years ago, was 320 feet long and regis
tered 4,5OO tons. The ship was bound
for New Orleans when she left Italy
and made that port in safety, unload
ing and shipping a cargo for Norfolk.
She left Norfolk September 8 with
cargo of grain for Spain. When the
storm struck, the ship was fifty-fve
miles off Bermuda. Captain Schiaffino
tried to head into the wind but was
caught before he could bring the ship
about. With steering gear disabled
efforts were made to rig jury rud-
der, but without success.
When the boats were lowered, be-
cause of danger that they would be
pounded to bits against the ships side,
it was necessary to hold them off fifty
yards, compelling the ships crew to
dive overheard and swim to the boats
All were picked up.
When the rescue ship docked in
Brooklyn last night officers of the
Italian immigration Society took charge
of the Alacrita's crew. More than half
the men were in state of collapse. All
were destitute Of clothing, except for

Like Poe's Rauen, This Bird
Wouldn't Come Off Its Perch
Intrepid Patrolman, Who Fought With Eagles When
Lad, Clubs This One to Death Roof at
Coney, but 1t Was Only ku-kluxed Heron

Joe Wiley, patrolman Of the Coney
Island Police Station, has a heart as
tender as it is stout. Moreover, when
he"was lad he was seized by an eagle
and carried to the crest of high
mountain to be devoured, or at least
he would have been if he hadn't man
aged to get away from the eagle before
it caught him.
All in all. it was lucky thing for the
children of Mermaid Avenue that Wiley
was on post there yesterday afternoon
or some of them might have shared the
fate that Joe almost met when he was
a lad.
AS it was, no sooner did some one
tell Wiley that there was a bird on
the roof of the apartment house at
ping its wings hercely and looking
hungry, thar the ornithologist patrol
man realized at once that an eagle was
lying in wait for it's prey.
knowing the habits Of eagles as he
did, Wiley asked for the loan of a
soapbox before venturing upon the
roof. He saw the bird almost at once.
1t was in a corner of the roof near a
chimney. The reports concerning it
had not been exaggerated. 1t was flap
ping it's wings fercely and looked
hungry.
Had Stiltlike Legs
Wiley knew it at once for an eagle
and ordered everybody to stand back.
1t had the stilthke legs and the long.
rapierlike beak of the very eagle that
almost devoured Wiley when he was a
lad. 1t fixed Wiley with its eagle eye
and stared malevolently in a way that
was Enthusiastically ill-bred.
Stand back" cried Wiley, advanc-
ing couragcously, carrying the soap
box like a shield. ITS me that he's
layin' for, but he's that excited that he
might lep off with any zone of ye in his
talents"
Everybody stood back. The eagle
length and darted its eight-inch bill
this way and that with amazing swift
ness, all the time Tapping its wings
tiercely. When Wiley stole up behind
it with the soap box it tied a double
knot in its neck and still reared a
menacing twelve or fifteen inches of it
with the stiletto-lke bill squarely con-
fronting the patrolman.
Quite undaunted, Wiley clapped the
soapbox over the eagle, extinguishing
it completely. Mounting the soapbox,
he delivered short lecture on the
ferocity of eagles, his own adventure
with one when he was lad and the
prevailing method of capturing them
one which he had learned in boyhood.
The next thing to be done, he said, was
to reach under the box and drag the
eagle out by the feet 1t was risky for
any but an ole hand to attempt it, he
said.
He reached under the box. 1t was
apparent to the awc-struck observers
that he had succeeded in grasping the
long thick shanks Of the eagle, but for
some reason or other, the eagle stayed

Bedtime Stories
Boxer and Woof- Woof Go Deriving
By Thornton W. Burgess
He's a0ise scho k7o1vs Just when to

Nor let's his stomach steal his sUit..
Mrs. Bear.

Boxer and Woof- -Woof, the twin
cubs of Buster and Mrs. Bear, grew
SO fast that it seemed to Peter Rab-
bit they had doubled their size every
time he saw them. Of course they
hadn't, but they had grown very fast.
You see, all they had to do was to
eas, sleep, play and grow, and they
did all four with all their might,
which was quite as healthy young
Bears should do.
In the early summer they had found
some wild strawberries and a little
later there had been some raspber-
rles They had had a couple of good
ieasts of these, but not so many that
they couldn't have eaten mores had
tnere been more to eat. They grum-
bied little because they could not
get enough.
Never mind" said Mother Bear,
pretty soon the blueberries will be
ripe, and then you can eat until your
stomachs won't hold another berry
SO stop your fussing now If you
don't I'll spank YOU"
That settled it. The twins stopped
fussing and .grumbling. They knew
that Mother Bear meant exactly what
she said. They had been spanked
more than once, and they were not
anxious for another spanking. So
they tried to be patient while they
waited for the blueberries to get ripe
Each day they wanted to ask Mother
Bear If it wasn't time to go for those
berries, but decided to wait until
the next day. The next day it was
the same way.
At last, very early one morning,
just as jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was
kicking off his rosy blankets for his
daily climb up in the blue, blue sky
Mother Bear awoke the twins and
started off through the Green Forest
bidding them follow right at her
heels. 1t was quite clear that she
was bound for some particular place
When Boxer turned aside to look at
something he had to run with all his
might to catch. up.
Once, out Of sheer mischief and
high spirits, Boxer nipped one of
Woof Woof's heels so that she
squealed. But when Mother Bear
swung around to see what was go
ing on she saw only two little Bears,
intent on keeping up with
her. One of them limped little as
il foot was sore. Mother Bear
thought Woof-Woo must have
stepped on a thorn.
Watch your step." she growied.

pulled and pulled until it seemed that
the eagles le~s grew in length in
his grasp, hut still the eagle remained
stationary.
Wiley gave it up at last and wiped
his perspirng brow. 1t was an obsti-
nate sort of an eagle, he admitted, and
stronger than most. Never before, he
lntimated, had he encountered an eagle
he could not pull from beneath a soap
box, However, there was another
method of dealing with eagles which
sometimes was practiced as a last re-
sort.
This desperate method involved lift
ing up the opposite end of the soap
box until the eagle stuck out its head
and few inches OF neck, whereupon
the eagle catcher pounded them with
his nightstcl5. 1t was completely sue
cessful. Wiley cautiously removed

There was none. i. was the deadest

eagle never budged. The tar on the

Wiley was scratching his head over
the problem when somebody suggested
that if he cut off the eagles feet which
were immersed in the stifrened tar
ne could remove the bird, and an eagle
that had as long legs as that one had
dldn't need feet anyhow; if necessary
Tor mounting purposes a few inches Of

This was done, and Wiley took his
trophy to Joe McCarrick, who has =

Paul Peenhorst, twenty-three years
old, whose home is at Morningside and

killed accidentally yesterday by Maui
Altman, seventeen, Of II Fulton Street,
Jamaica.
Six young men started yesterday for
a swamp adjacent to Queens Boulevard
to shoot frogs. All carried rifles of %
caliber. Altman found that his ejector
had jammed. He tried to remedy the
trouble, and in doing so discharged the
weapon. Peenhorst was struck in the
left eye by the bullet, which pene-
trated his brain. When an ambulance
arrived from St. Mary's Hospital he
was dead.
Altman and Peenhorst were fellow

they could do to keep up. Their
tongues were hanging out, they were

ached so that it seemed to them thew

d,dn't dare to. They hadn't the least

they were wishing with all their

that Woof- -Woof began to whimper.
1T was just then that Mother Bear
stopped and stood up for look
around. When she dropped down to
all fours again there was such a sat-
isfled look on her face that the twins
knew she had seen something that
pleased her. She turned off to one
side and the twins followed. In
lew minutes they came out of the
Dushes INTO an open place. All
around the ground seemed to be COW

Mother Bear waved big paw.

of delight they began to stuff them
selves with blueberries. Ny. how
