Election as Chairman of

ber Alleged 10 Have Said

Active newspaper men who are in
rebellion against the policies Of other
and more numerous members OF the
New York Press Club have filed Rf-
fidavits with Justice Tierney in the
Supreme Court, it was learned yes
terday. in which they allege that when
they protested the election of John A.
Hennessy rs chairman of the board Of
trustees on the ground that he was
under charges, the new chairman Of
the board averred:
II am the man who has the say about
that and | rule there are no charges
against me-
Hennessy's knowledge of Charges
From bringing them against others,
Mr.. Hennessy is said to knew about
as much about charges as any New
Yorker who ever came from Ireland.
For years he fought Tammany Hall in
politics and he was chief investigator
for Governor Sul2er in the latter's bit
ter but losing battle against the or
ganization. Mr.. Hennessy used to be
managing editor of The New York
Press. At present he is publisher Of
a newspaper in Providence, r. /.

board of trustees and other newspaper
men who are members of the club for
an investigation Of the clubs affairs.
one of the grievances mentioned Is that
the defendant trustees voted to sell
the furnishings in rooms devoted to
recreation and turn that floor into
Offices. Just before the resolution was
adopted to rent that floor, Mr.. Hen
messy. is alleged to have remarked:
III show you people where you
get off. I'm going to run this club
from this time on and make my own
rules. Ill show you members of the
house-wreckers' union how to wreck
a place"
Howard's Statement Denied
1t is asserted in the afidavits that
Mr.. Hennessy promised even more
threatening the life of the clubs first
vice-president if the proceedings in the
Supreme Court was pushed and declar-
ing his intention of "getting" the coun-
sci who represents the petitioners in
their court action.
The petitioners deny in their affi-
dayits a statement made by Edward
Percy Howard, president of the club,
IN his affidavit that no complaint about
the affairs Of the club had been made
to him nor any request for informa-
ton.
Several alleged complaints are men
toned by the petitioners, and they as
sert that Mr. Howard acknowledged in
letter written January 81, 1919. that
numerous complaints had been made
concerning the solicitation of associate
memberships on q commission basis.

Churchill Bids AtIieu
To Dried-Up BroadaUay
"CIosed'' Sign Tacked orr Re
sort Which Will Be Deuoted
to Upifs of ChoD Suey

Broadway was q sad place yesterday.
It was not only that. 1t was dry,
dull, dusty and melancholy, and some
where an invisible choir seemed to be
intoning the mournful and measured
cadence of a lugubrious funeral march
Habitues of the grand old thorough
fare, who knew it in the forid period
now called B. p, shuffled up and down
the once hilarious highway, and the
only wet thing in sight was the occa-
sional tear they dropped.
Its no longer Broadway sighed
one veteran of the period B. P. as he
stood. in the midst of the somber ST.
lence and watched sad-faced man
mailing across the front of Churchills
a sign bearing the one word
CLOSED"
Nope" he continued, "it ain't
Broadway any more. It's Main Street
now, and all the old places that used
to make life worth living-places where
q guy could go on hot afternoon like
this and stand in the cool shadows
with clinking gin rickey in easy
reach-will be memories in a day or
two. They're all passing. There's no
room for 'em on Main Street. There's
no room for anything but chop suey
joints that smell of onions, noisy arm
chair lunchrooms and automats.
Somewhere, l suppose, bands are play
ing and the old life still rules. and
guess, if the ponies run for me at Bel
mont, I'll disappear like Churchill's and
the rest of the old joints, and try to
find that place"
Prohibition scored the knock outs in
the early hours of yesterday that ac-
counted for the bleakness of Broad
way. 1t is nothing new to see the ia
nous old stands closing up their doors,
but the demise of Churchill's came as q
shock to Broadway in general, and the
once roaring but now hushed forties
in particular. Not even the walters in
the place knew that the end was at
hand. Captain Jim Churchill, proprie-
tor of the establishment for the last
eleven years, withheld the sad an
nouncement until one o'clock Sunday
morning. Then he gave out the news
that he was through and that the IA
nous restaurant would undergo altera-
tlons and, after taking on some oriental
grandeur, be opened up as a chop suey
place.
Captain Churchill wouldn't say any
thing about his own plans, although he
lntlmated that at some future time he
might open UP a restaurant somewhere
in the vicinity of Columbus Circle.
He was not willing, either, to blame
the closing Of the Forty-ninth Street
place entirely on prohibition, although
he admitted frankly enough that the
dry law had great deal to do with it.
He said he had been doing a good
business recently, but had decided to
sell out to an American and Chinese
syndicate.

and If he thought anything at all,
which is doubtful, it was that he was
being carried to some other place for
Mr. BIacksnake to finish swallowing
him. Still. the fact that he was no
longer going down that long throat
prompted him to try harder than ever
TO kick.
Then he felt himself being shaken
from side to side and tossed about.
and suddenly it came over him that
Mr.. Blacksnake, instead of trying to
swallow him, was now trying to get
rid of him. You may be sure that
then Old Mr.. Toad struggled and
kicked harder than ever. The first
bit, of hope had come to him. He
hadn't the least idea why MIR. Black
snake should be trying to get rid of
him and didn't care. 1t was quite
enough for him that such was the
case, and he did his best to help.
Then suddenly he was free He
was out of Mr.. Blacksnake's mouth!
He didn't even look around to see
what had been the cause of it, No,
sir, he didn't. He just caught good
breath and started off, hop, hop, hon.
hop, hop, hop, and every hop was
surprisingly long one for old Mr..
Toad and those hops we're surprising
~ last. You wouldn't believe that Old
Mr.. Toad could move so fast. Hop, hop,
hop, hop, hop he went, and didn't even
look behind. There was just one
thought in Old Mr.. Toad's mind. and
that was to get away from that par
tlcuiar place just as fast as he. could,
and ana he was doing just that thing
,Why he had been set free he didn't
know: He didn't care. It was enough
for him that he was free.

SUMNER SCHOOL FOR WOUNDED
VETERANS.

Ellsworth, Maine. has for the second
time been chosen as the home of the
Summer Camp for War Veterans who
were wounded during the war and who
are studying under the Federal Boa. d at
the Boston University College of BUSH
ness Administration.
This was the only school of its kind
last summer. Out of 40, 600 men under
training by the Federal Board throughout
the United States, only the Sc who went
to Ellsworth were permitted to join sum-
mer camps Although the authorities at
Washington were dubious over the sue
cess of this venture, the scholarship
among the students was so high and the
physical benefit SO marked that this year
the camp has their entire approval, and
1875 per cent more men are to go from
Boston University. Several other Fed
eral Board summer camps are also to be
formed because of the success of this
plan.
The government pays for the tuition
and books of the Federal Board men and
gives them 500 month for board and

Another Dream Shattered

About the only colorful, exotic
dream left the young man of today
who wishes to wander is the dream
of the South sea islands where beau
tiful brown maidens bask in tropical
sun and dance sweetly in the moon
light on silver beaches, CARRIED in
red hibiscus flower and a grass Cir
die. And now come two young Ameri-
can travellers who say this is also
dream. James Norman Hall and
Charles Nordhoff in Harper's declare:
"The (Tahitian) women were bare
footed and bareheaded, but otherwise
conventionally dressed. This, we sup
pose, is an outrageous betrayal of
trade secret, if one may say the writ
ers of South sea narratives belong to
trade. Those seriously interested
in the islands have, of course, known
the truth about them for years. 1t
is Still a popular misconception that
the women are half savage unself-
conscious creatures who display their
charms to the general gaze with naive
Indifference. There are few who by
means of brides may be persuaded to
disrobe before the camera for mo-
ments space, and in this way the
primitive legend is preserved to the
world"
