there are still collisions between motor
cars-lots of them And some result in
deaths and serious injuries. In addition, many
pedestrians are strnck by machines. But that
is due to the enormous increase in the number
Of cars in uso. The grade crossing wreck was
due, almost invariably, to the presence Of too
much alcohol in the tank that was driving the
automobile, for no man in his normal senses
would deliberately try to beat a railroad train
eyer a crossing.
The drunken brawl is another feature of al
coholic activity abolished by the prohibition ad-
locates. These ARRAYS, save when accompanied
by gun or knife play, were not prolific sources
of news so even the police reporters do not
grieve at their passing.
AS for drownings, they, too, have decreased
in frequency. Bathers are more cautious in
their aquatic sports now that they no longer
become alcoholically superheated, and, although
bigger crowds than ever are thronging the
beaches this hot summer, the swimmers are
better able to take care of themselves in the
water. Consequently there are fewer calls for
the pulmotor. Youths made reckless by few
drinks used to help both the reporters and the
undertakers when they rocked the boat. But
the boat-rocker has vanished with the fisher
men who tried to change seats in ,nidstream
after sampling the "Dait' they carried On their
hips.
On Monday mornings, in that ancient
period Of few months ago, the news writers
in Queens were accustomed, provided they
hadn't been up all night, to arise much
earlier than usual, for they invariably needed
the extra time to collect the tragedies of the
hours just preceding. But now it doesn't
make any difference whether they get up on
Mondays or not, for there's never anything
doing on Sunday nights.
In these days they stroll into Police Head
quarters on Monday mornings, trying to sum-
mon a flash of the old keenness for newsstand
eagerly, or as eagerly they can, produce
copy paper and pencil.

Dollar Beer Always Good
For the Riot Call

How easily can recall the good old
days." for, after all, they were rather recent.
There was, for example, the dollar beer
racket" prolific source Of news on Saturday
and Sunday nights. Queens Borough was the
native habitat of the dollar beer racket. The
devotees of this unpeacefu method of passing
an evening came chiefly from the two adjoin-
ing boroughs Of the city, and most of them
were known technically to the police as "scoov-
ers" The origin of this term has never been
explained, but that other, the dollar beer
racket" was always obvious, even to the I'M
initiated. 1t was function held in picnic
park or grove--and they abounded in Queens
the chief object of which was to drink all
the beer possible before the lights went out or
the ambulance came. The admission to these
elite affairs was 81, and it entitled each
guest to all the beer he or she could con-
sumo without additional cost.

Three detectives lounged last night
in saloon at Firty-nrst Street and
Eleventh Avenue watching James Camp

seamen and longshoremen. The sarsa-
parilla was consumed avidly. but to the
disappointment OF the watchers no
stronger beverage appeared.
When their hope had almost van
ished one of them suggested looking
in the safe. They were opening the
door when Campbell demanded to know
what was going on, and several of his
customers closed in on them. The de
tectives seized bottle of Scotch and a
bottle of rye which, they allage, were
in the safe and started out.
The seamen and the longshoremen.
some of whom had not seen the safe
openers shields and thought robbery

they were three sadly battered detec-

Even with the Endorsements hostili-

fore their nightsticks won passage to
taxicab.
The whisky was confscated and
Campbell was arrested, as was William
Sheridan, a tugboat fireman, who was
charged with disorderly conduct.

rector of the Chicago Opera Company,

Holland-America liner Rotterdam, ac-
companied by her sister, Mrs. John
Walsh, to spend the summer at the
singers home in Monte Carlo.

to New York in the fall she would re-
sumo her activities with the Chicago
Opera Company, and would bring back
ization. Among these will be the Rus
sian barytone Joseph Schwarts, of
Riga. who will replace Titta Ruffo, who

many?"
Also on the vessel was the Baroness
E. de Cartier de Marchienne, wife of
the Belgian Ambassador to Washing
ton. She drove to the pier in motor
car with friends trusting her maid and
baggage to the mercy of another car. A
half hour after her arrival in Hoboken
the baroness found that her maid and
baggage had not arrived, and she feared
the Rotterdam would depart without
her.
The second car had been caught in
traffic congestion at the Lackawanna
ferry at Twenty-third Street, and by
the aid of the police the maid and
baggage of the baroness were accord
ed the right of way and arrived at the
vessel just as the gangplank was about
to be hauled ashore.

Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
which sailed yesterday for Cherbourg,

Spouse to an advertisement which Mr..

SMOKES SHOULD BE
 SEEN IN DANCE AT
 THE FRONTIER DAY
Suggestion is Made to Include Dance on Wild West Program, and
 at State Fair
CFrom Saturdays DaIy1

The Hopi snake dance given by the Smoki Indians at the Way Out West burlesque was so well done, and so well received, that it has been suggested that the dance be repeated one day during the Prescott Frontier days celebration. The suggestion was made by Tom Bate, who also sug- gested that a close presentation of an Indian attack on a stage-coach be shown at the Frontier Days on another day than the repetition of the snake dance.
 , The suggestions are in line with the idea of series of special stunts, to be presented, one during each day of the Frontier days program. Tom Bate believes that the Smoki dance should be shortened a little, and be shown again on one of these days. He also suggests that the dance be shown at the state fair at Phoenix.
 In addition to the skill and yer | isimilitude with which those imper- sonating the snake and antelope priests, and other characters of the Hopi dance performed their work, great credit is due to Mrs. George Humber who entirely trained the per formers and directed the perform ance. Mrs. Lumber, who has spent some years among the Hopi In dians, is familiar with their dances and customs, and 1t was this knowl- edge, together with her skill i'll i'm parting it to the Smokis, that made the dance the success that it was.

SMITH CASE |S
 UP TO A JURY
(From Saturdays pailyl

A jury last night slept in the court house on the case of Emmett Smith, ex-service man, charged with the theft of an automobile. The trial, which was expedited as much as possible, in hope of finishing the case, required all day.
 William E. Field, one of the four men charged with having taken a Westcott car from the owner, Morris Borden, and who recently pleaded guilty, was placed on the stand as a defense witness and admitted the guilt in an attempt to exonerate Smith. On cross-examination, the county attorney developed the fact Field had been wanted in several states for similar offenses. In the words of the witness, he had pulled off jobs" elsewhere.
 Morris Borden was the first state witness. He told of the loss of his car which was picked up with four passengers at Seligman by Deputy Sheriff M. s. Hummer, who also testified. David Lanoff, driver of the car for Borden, who was en- gagged ill the service car business, was also a witness. Carl Anderson, a young boy who slept at the garage, told of having been induced by the men to go to the depo:, and On his return, he said, the car was gone.
 Smith denied on the stand that he had stolen the car or had part in stealing it. He said he had rented it, but did not know that the man he had rented it from had no right to it. Field also spoke of paying money to a man whom he called his buddy" He refused on the 5tand to divulge his buddy's name.
 w. I. Hopcraft, who had employed Smith, testified as to his steadincss on his job.
 Alfred H. Gale of Anderson, Gale & Nilsson, and Roger O'Malley de tended Smith.

DR. BLAIN MAY OPEN
 OFFICES IN DETROIT

Possibility of his removal from this city to Detroit, Mich, in event of satisfactory opportunity for opening dental offices in the eastern city, were mentioned yesterday by Dr. ]. Harvey Blain, in- answer to questions concerning the purpose of a trip he is making to Detroit. Dr. Blain left Prescott for the east last night. He will visit his parents and relatives in Detroit for a few weeks.
 Dr. Blain explained that an offer had recently been made him to es- tablish dental offices ill Detroit, and stated he would give up his practice in this city to do so, if it seemed ad- visable. He denied his plans were final, saying it depended upon the nature of the offer made him. The fact that the Blain home on South Pleasant street has been offered for sale has nothing to do with his trip, Dr. Blain stated Should he decide to remain here, he will build another home upon his return to this city.

 STORE ROBBED
From Sundays Dailyl

Articles of wearing apparel, care fully listed, were furnished by the management of the United Verde Ex- tensions store at Jerome, as consti- tuting the loss of that institution when 1t was burglarized Friday night, and the sheriff's office yesterday was engaged in search for the robbers, 1t was announced.
 The store was entered forcibly and a quantity of clothing taken. Some of the missing stock is listed as: eight pairs of shoes, six pairs cordu- roy trousers, blankets, underwear. Whoever made the raid evidently was stocking up for a hard winter, for he or they overlooked the more mostly things and only carried away good, substantial stuff-clothing that man can rely upon to fend off the weather.
 While no particular clew was vis- ible, the sheriff's office is hopeful that possession of some of the stolen goods may shortly reveal the identity of the person or persons guilty of the robbery.
