A Judges Logic.


DO you suppose I would begin
speeding when I saw the cop stand
ing near a tree leaning on his bi-
cycle with his eye on me?" Kenneth
Ward asked of Judge Mcmahon.
1T is not a question of what you
might do" the court said. but what
you did do that brings you here
Ward was arrested by Policeman
A. l.. Johnson, whose business it is
to see that no reckless driver tries
to climb up the monument in a liz
zie" without permission.
The man was tearing up the tar
road at "a m. p. h. according to
johnson, who kept within fifteen
| feet of the car.
The limit is eighteen miles on the
| books.
However, Wards offense was not
a terrible one and the court separ-
ated him from but IS.
Laughed mt Her Tears.
Rose Emmerich and a few other
people were coming home from the
movies and were talking about the
pictures.
James bartholomew happened
along and stopped to talk to Rose,
who did not seem a bit pleased to
be interrupted. In fact she ordered
him 10 go on about his business and
threatened TO seek assistance from
some OF the men present.
James went on about his business
then. but with a grudge in his heart
Two days later he met Rose by her
self.
Then. she said, he took advantage
OF tho fact that no other men were
near and struck her one over the
ear and banged her head into a
tree.
And then, she stated. he stood by
and laughed at her while she cried.
That woman dared me to hit her,
Jcdge," James explained. "She poked
her face close to mine and almost
asked me to hit her. All 1 did was
to poosh her"
TOO much OF a push" said the
court. Pay fine of $40"
On Probation. Reported Drunk.
Not so long ago Lewis Bruce was
sentenced to one month in Jail and
put on probation for drunkenness.
He promised never to associate with
another whisky bottle as long as he
lived
He was required to report regu-
larly to the probation officer and
give an account of himself
And what did he do? He came in
drunk to report and was foolish
enough to believe no one would
notice his condition.
So he was nabbed again. 1t hurt
his feelings to think that he couldn't
even appear drunk in the court
room without someone bothering
| him.
Judge Hardison was real peeved
at Lewis. The court. had thought
he was really going to keep his
promise and stay sober.
Probation is probation" said the
judge. 1T is not such conduct as
this. I am convinced that you can
not be trusted and therefore 1 will
revoke your probation and let you
Iserve out your thirty days"

Deductions of HarveyHun
By Philip Francis Nowlan.

Fifty stenographers in ten
months might indicate the hrm
head had his mind on frivolous
femiRiRity rather than ON the
wheels of commerce. Probably
so. RambOrne and Company
failed in n million dollar crash.
1t was then that Harvey Hunt
learned of the singular practice
employed by RambOrne in hir-
ing and firing.
what connection did these
tuO-scOre and more stenOEraph-
ers have with the firms failure.
Hunt deduces as below;
XIV.
IN THE mystery Of The Fifty
Typists" Harvey Hunt did indeed
at first suspect that Ramborne haC
had fifty stenographers simply be-
cause that many different COmbina-
tiOns Of initials appeared at the bot
tom OF the letters. The dates of the
ls tiers, written by RambOrne to 3OC
different creditors, established the
fact that he had had only one ste
nOgrapher at a time, and that the
girls had followed one another in
rapid succession in his employ.
But he proved to himself that the
initial signatures of the stenog-
raphers were not a blind by the
manner in which the letters were
typed PecUliarities of type, tiny
characteristics of the individual let
ters Of the alphabet, showed that all
the communications had been writ
ten on the same machine. But there
were variations. No two typists
operate a machine in precisely the
s@me manner. One is inclined to hit
one key harder than another. Diff
ferent typists have different COmbi-
nations of letters which they strike
of faster than others. 1t was these
variations, classified and analyzed
that showed Harvey Hunt that fifty
different persons really had written
:he letters.
The work Of mcst of the typists
was good. There was no reason
why Ramborne should have dis
charged them in such rapid success
sion, unless he was afraid that q
girl staying in his Office too lone
might learn too much about his af-
fairs.
This meant two things to Harvey
Hunt: first. that it was possible for
girl TO pick up some information
Ramborne did not want to leak out,
and; second, that while the infor-

Reserves Decision on
Cibrario Receivership
Judge Takes Soviet Govern.
ment's Plea Against Picture
Producer Under Amusement

Justice McAvoy, in the Supreme
Court yesterday reserved decision on
the application of the Russian Soviet
government, to have a receiver ap-
pointed for several corporations in
which Jacques Roberto Cibrario, NOV
ing picture producer, is interested.
Cibrario is now under bail on a charge
of grand larceny, brought by the Soviet
government, that he misappropriated
100000 belonging to the complainant.
According to counsel for the Russian
government, Cibrario obtained the
money for motion picture equipments
for use in the schools Of Russia, and
then after placing the funds out of the
jurisdiction Of the court, furnished
equipment that was Of no practical use.
Counsel for Cibrario argued that the
Soviet government had not been recoq
nized by the United States, that it had
no standing in court, and that the
courts were without jurisdiction to en-
terrain any case brought by that gov.
eminent. The lawyer said the plaintiff
received exactly what was paid for and
that no money was drawn by Cibrario
until the goods were delivered.
Although Justice McAvoy took under
advisement the question Of the re-
cevership, be vacated an order that
had been issued restraining Cibraro
from continuing his business pending
the application for a receiver. Pending
decision by Justice McAvoy, the de-
PENDANT may pay his employees and
otherwise continue his business.

an Unusually Fine Col

The American Museum of Natural
History, Seventy Street and
Central Park West, announced yester-
day that it has opened to the public
Tibetan temple shrine, embracing
the finest collection Of Tibetan relig-
ious objects probably ever assembled
for exhibition purposes.
Alexander Scott, British artist, who
made his home for twenty-six years at
Darjeeling, India, on the highway to
Tibet, purchased the shrine from
Chinese members of an expedition
which penetrated Tibet after the Brit
ish under Sir Francis Younghusband
had left Lhassa.
J. H. Davies, of the American Mu-
scum, said Mr. Scott conceived the no.
ton of assembling an altar and fur
nishings in such way that would give
Westerners an idea of q Tibetan
shrine.

Several Hurt When Air
Breaks Train Windows
Atmospheric Pressure Skaters
Glass and Hurls Fragments
as Expresses Pass

Ten passengers were badly injured
in an unprecedented accident which
occurred while two Long Island ex-
press trains were passing one another
on the Jamaica Bay trestle near Broad
Channel yesterday.
AS result of the terrific wind pres
sure caused by the trains, the glass in
the third car of the Mauhattan~b bound
express was shattered but did not
penetrate that particular car. Instead,
the broken pieces were hurtled through
the open windows of the fourth car,
badly cutting the passengers.
By the time the train was brought
to stop at the Brooklyn Manor
station there was almost panic in the
fourth car. A rumor quickly spread
that several persons had been killed,
and the reserves from the Jamaica and
Richmond Hill precincts had to be
called to hold back the crowds that
gathered about the station
The injured finally were treated by
surgeons from Mary Immaculate and
Jamaica hospitals. Mrs. A. R. Camp
bell, thirty-six, of 231 Beach 135th
Street, Rockaway Beach, was the most
seriously injured. She received a deep
cash in her left arm.

Thousands of persons were en-

fought to bring team of runaway
horses to halt on Third Avenue near
Eighty-sixth Street. The fremen, John
F. Conner, Michael Macy and Frank

the horses tearing up the avenue with
a loaded wagon careening behind them
Conner and Macy grabbed the bril-
dies, while Barry leaped on the rear of
the wagon. Just as he reached the
drivers seat, the wagon gave a lurch
and Conner was flung against an "L'
road pillar, while Barry fell back into a
barrel of pickles on the wagon. Macy
however, held on, and brought the team
to a halt.

admitted y number of men" had quit,
but said they did not know the exact
number. The men gave the company

system Of wage scales. Under the com
pany's system, he said, in some cases
men received l cent an hour more than
the boards ruling, but, he asserted
the company had eliminated payment

Railroad officials said union employ
