Seeks Writ to Compel
Sheriff to Recover Wine

Supreme Court Justice William P.
Burr in equity term next Wednesday
will hear the application of Agostino
fiesta, of 81 Mulberry Street, for writ
of mandamus to compel Sheriff David
II. Knott to recover seven barrels of
wine and twenty-five gallon jugs of the
same beverage which were seized with
out warrants by the police in the petit
toners home on May 2.
fiesta put up bond of $4,000 to pro-
tect the Sheriff, and he demands that
the latter take away from James E.
Murray, property clerk of the Police
Department, the wine he declares was
illegally seized and had been intended
for the use of his family.
The complaint is said to be the first
of it's kind to be filed since national
prohibition became effective. Neither
arrest nor complaint was made by the
police at the time the wine was con-
tiscated fiesta began replevin proceed
ings, but the Sheriff refused to act on
them, on the ground that the confis-
Gated liquor might be wanted in pos
sible criminal prosecution.
Meanwhile the grand jury and special
court of prosecution adjourned to Octo-
Der, and fiesta, desiring the wine to
tide over his family during the hot
spell, asked for the court order

The Black Shadows were fast creep
ing through the swamp where the
young Heron was held fast in cruel
steep trap. Mrs. Longlegs, the mother
of the young Heron, returned with q
frog for him and then settled her
self for the night close by. There
was nothing more that she could do
At her approach Peter Rabbit had
slipped back out of sight among the
big ferns and from his hiding place
watched until it was so dark that he
could no longer see the poor young
Heron and his mother. He knew that
there was nothing he could do, still
he couldn't bear to leave them there
alone.
There can't anything happen to
that young Heron in the night" Peter
said to himself. And then he thought
OF billy Mink. Surprising Billy should
happen along that way. Peter knew
that Billy would like nothing better
than meal of young Heron. 'Mrs.
Longlegs will be more than a match
for Billy Mink" thought Peter, and
felt better.
Then he thought of Reddy Fox.
Surprising Reddy should come prow-
ling along there in the night. or
supposing Old Man Coyote should
happen that way. Peter shivered at
the thought. Mrs. Longlegs might be
very brave, but either of those
hunters was SO big and so crafty
that as likely as not Mrs Longlegs
herself would be killed. Peter was
worried.
"Well. If they come there is moth
ing l can do" he muttered. 'I'm
sorry for that young Heron. wish
| could do something for him. But
| can't. Pm just wasting time hang
ing around here. 1t won't do any
body any good for me to stay. I
think III go back to the dear Old
briar-patch. Then I'll run over here
tomorrow and see what has hap
pened."
So Peter started to 80 back nlonr
the Laughing Brook to the Smiling
fcol. intending to scamper across
from there to the dear old Briar-
patch. When he came out OF tho
swamp he looked up. The kindly
stars were twinkling down at him.

Girl Agents Again
Arrested as They
Ask Contributions
Service Division Director of
American Legion Makes
Charges Against Timely
Service Street Solicitors

Marcia Phillips, twenty years old, of
526 Fifty-sixth Street, Brooklyn, and
Marie Wendell, twenty-three, of 215
West Fifty-hrst Street, were arrested
last night by Richard 7. Bell, of 1919
Madison Avenue, director of the SER
vice division of the American Legion
Of New York State, with offices in the
Hall of Records Building, charged with
fraudulent solicitation.
The arrests were made by Bell in
person and his prisoners taken by him
to the East Fifty-irst Street police
station, where he announced to the
lieutenant in charge that he was acting
as a citizen and not as an official of
the American Legion.
Miss Phillips and Miss Wendell were
soliciting with cash trays on opposite
sides of Fifth Avenue at Fifty ninth
Street when Bell approached and saw
them. He motioned to q taxicab driver,
who drew up at the curb near Miss
Phillips. The young woman was or
dered to "get in with a statement
that she was under arrest. The taxi
cab then crossed the avenue and the
performance was repeated with ref
erence to Miss Wendell
At the station both Miss Phillips
and Miss Wendell displayed creden-
tials of the Timely Service Society, 1872
Nassau Street, in which George Mes
servy, treasurer of the society, author
lied them to solicit funds in the name
of that organization for its use. The
purpose is stated in the credentials to
be relieving the condition of the un-
employed"
This is the third time arrests of
women solicitors have been made by
Mr.. Bell or at his instigation. On July
2 the same Miss Phillips, now under
arrest, was taken into custody near one
of the downtown ferries on a similar
charge. With her was arrested Daisy
Russell, also a canvasser for the Timely
Service Society. The girls were dis
charged when arraigned in magis-
trate's court. A week ago Miss Rus

'Oh Dice, BnbyNeeds Ne,U Shoes
Didn't Mean Craps to Cleric
Mr.. Whtehouse Thought Appeal He Heard in Bryant
Park Was Orators, but Detective Called Him
Gambler; Convinces Court He's Not Inuuisitor

FORT LEE, N. j., July 28.--"All
this talk about my being in New York
to investigate gambling is wrong" said
the Rev. Mr.. William w. Whitehouse
to-day in the course of his explana-
ton of how he happened to be arrested
Wednesday when detectives descended
on craps game in Bryant Park. Mr..
Whitehouse is student pastor of Beth
any Methodist Episcopal Church here.
He had left game of tennis, and
was sitting in the shade Of a tree
hopping his face, yesterday.
Il had been to the public library"
Mr.. Whitehouse said, "to 60 over some
books there, and was on my way to
lunch when l saw q crowd in the park,
l often stop to listen to speakers who
use the park as rostrum, and I
thought perhaps some one was adj
dressing, or was about to addre SIS. the
gathering. I attached myself to the
edge OF the crowd, but for time
could see nothing. Voices came to me.

game, but it was no use. AS we ncared
the Jail, l informed him that was a
clergyman. He did not seem to believe

that way. He said othe rthings, too
things that I cannot repeat.

Judge. He was q perfect gentleman.
So different from the detective. |

All his remarks were directed to the
detective. He asked him if he had
seen mo throwing the dice, and if he
had seen me put any money into the
game. The detective said "No.'
Mr.. Whitehouse spread his hands.
"That was all,' he said. 81 was. dis
