Women Join in Movement

A postcard from a woman in Brook
lyn indicated that there are protests
to come from women, as we'll as from
the men. The card said:
"My husband, New York shoe man
ufacturer, spent six months in the
ludlow Street Jail rather than pay ali
mony to me on the termination of our
nine years acquaintance matrimonial
ly. have often driven past the place
and looked upon it with considerable
satisfaction when ! thought, of the
long hours my husband spent there.
But, If it is to be torn down, what is
there offered, amid New York's arcti-
lecture, to afford me such pleasant
reminiscence ?"
Eugene A. Johnson, warden of the
Jail, who has beer good friend of
the Alimony Club members these many
years, all within the limits of official
guardianship as prescribed by the stat
utes, was asked about the auction mat
ter yesterday morning by the five ac-
tive members of the organization now
in the Jail
He had to admit that the question of
changing the quarters of the club was
being agitated Thereupon a meeting
Of the five club members was called for
a few days hence, when it is presumed
that resolutions will be passed, calling
attention to the fact that the Ludlow
Street Jail has always been known as
the headquarters of the Alimony Club;

Bedtime Stories
Peter Consults His Big Cousin
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Who fears to ask avhut others k7eoac
WI tiHd the 1Uay to knowledge sou.
Peter Rabbit
y Thornton W. Burgess

Peter Rabbit isn't one of that kind.
He learned long ago that no one per-
son knows everything or can find
out for himself all about any one
thing, He learned that knowledge is
the total Of many truths discovered by
many people. So Peter doesn't hesitate
: to ask questions. He doesn't even mind
being laughed at for asking questions
when there is something he wants to
know and cannot find out for himself
So when Peter discovered that ap-
parently Buster Bear, asleep in his
den under the great windfail deep in
the Green Forest, was wearing brown
coat instead of the black coat Peter al
ways had seen him in he at once wanted
TO know about it. He never had heard
that Buster wore a different colored
coat in winter, but he was wise enough
to know that the fact that he never
had heard of it was no reason why it
shouldn't be. There were others who
We're better acquainted with Buster
and his habits and one of these might
know II Buster was in the habit of
changing his coat.
be sure his eyes had not played him a
trick. That coat still looked brown.
Then Peter softly erept away to the
edge of the great windfall, where he
felt perfectly safe, and there he spent
the rest of the day, sleeping much of
the time and when he wasn't asleep
wondering about Buster Bear He
wouldn't leave that shelter until after
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had gone to
bed behind the Purple Hills, for not
until then would he feel safe from
Terror the Goshawk
Mistress Moon came I'D almost as
soon as Mr.. Sun had disappeared Then
Peter hoped out from the great wind
fall and almost at once he saw the one
person he most wanted to see. 1t was
his big cousin, Jumper the Hare.
Jumper was, of course, wearing his
snowy white winter coat. In the
spring he would change it for brown
coat. Having this habit of changing his
coat, he would be likely to know about
others with the same habit. Besides,
ne lived in the Green Forest.
"Oh, Jumper, you are just the one I
want to sees' cried Peter, hopping to-
ward him.
Hello, Peter, What business have
you way over here in the Green For
est exclaimed Jumper the Hare.
You ought to be at home in the dear
Old Briar-patch where you belong"
Peter paid no attention to this.

that 1t is a good jail, as jails go, and
the food, although coming within GER
tain prescribed institutional limits with
regard to expense, Is better than the
kind that drives man to seek divorce
The resolution also may recite that
il is q Jail to which is attached GER
tain distinction on account Of housing
onIv civil prisoners, and that to have
Alirnony Club members cast in with
criminal prisoners would tend to lower
the moral standards of the nation, and
is something not to be considered. In
consideration of these things, and the
secluded location Of the jail, which al
lows for ones best mental efforts at
checkers and chess, and also in con-
sjderation of the excellence of the bed
springs, the thickness of the blankets,
and the snow -shoveling privileges in
the yard, be it resolved that Sheriff
David Fl. Knott be appealed to, in an
effort TO make him reconsider his de-
termination to auction the Jail located
at Ludlow Street and Essex Market
Place, commonly known as the Ludlow
Street Jail.
Club members were also considering
the enlistment of those who have a
fondness for preserving historic places.
1t was pointed out that BOSS" Tweed's
name is inscribed on the building as
OIlH VI tnS SupEiNlnOIS NlO oIuSIS0 4Ln
construction in 1869 and that his desk
and chair are still in the room just
to your left as you enter, where he
died prisoner in 1878. Those we're
the days of special privileges" when
the Sheriff and his assistants were all
paid from fees and when everything
went" even to the prisoners, when
they felt like going.
All those privileges have ended, of
course, in later years, since the fee
system was stopped. Besides Tweed,
the jail in Ludlow Street sheltered
such men as Fish and Ward, who
traded on the name of General Grant
and swindled thousands; Whitaker
Wright, an English Wallingford, who
proved himself no candidate for the
Bum Sports Club by buying $t00
worth of fireworks for the prisoners
one Fourth of July when he was an
inmate; and any number of spies and
suspects during the recent war.
Sheriff Knott, who has been given
the title of president ex-officio of the
Alimony Club, merely because it has
fallen TO his lot to look after the well
fare of the prisoners, shows no sign
of weakening in the campaign he has
started. He says there is no use OF
spending SO much money to care for
so few prisoners. The only answer left
to. the Alimony Club under such cir
cum mstances seems to be:
More prisoners and larger club
mem bership."
Otherwise one of New York's most
famous institutions seems headed for
disaster.

AT Ritz Is Rich
Chicago Citizen
Julius Schwill, Malt Manu-
facturer, Denies Know
ing Money Orders He Of
fered Had Been Stolen
Trip to Europe Delayed
Defendant Held as Frank
Miller Is Scheduled for
Hearing Here Tomorrow

julius Schwill, millionaire malt man
ufacturer, of Chicago, is the Crank
Miller who was arrested last week
after it was asserted he had attempted
to pay $3.50 dinner check at the Ritz
Carlton with express money orders
said to have been stolen in Chicago, ac-
cordlng to statements of his attorney,
Elias Mayer in Chicago, yeste uday.
Mr.. Mayer said g mistake kad been
made, that Schwill ha dobtained the
money orders in business deal and
that his arrest had been made because
he was stranger in New York Be-
yond that Mr.. Mayer refused to talk,
according to telegraphc reports. Mr..
Mayer, 1T was said was in New York
Saturday upon the request of Mr..
Schwlll, but returned to Chicago Sun
day after his client had been arraigned
before Magistrate Harrie and released
in $1,000 bail.
Callers Fail to See Him
Attempts to reach M. Schwill at the
home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jessie
Schallkop, at 1 West Seventeen
Street, yesterday, failed when callers
were Informed that neither MIR.
ScEwill nor Mrs. Schallkop, was at
home.
the Ritz are said to have been part
of $4,000 worth stolen from the
Offices of the International Electric
Company, at 12o Broadway, on Febru-
airy 4. Since the burglary two orders
lave turned up in Chicago, it is said,
and two additional orders were cashed
in New York hotels by Frank Miller"
All orders cashed are said to have been
for $50 each.
After being arrested at the Ritz
when he rendered seven of the alleged
stolen money orders in payment Of a
dinner check, Schwill denied anv
knowledge that the orders had been
stolen. He gave the name of "Miller"
to the police and to operatives of the
Burns detective agency, and is asserted
to have told them that he lived at No.
2 West Eighty-ninth Street. This ai-
dress later was found not to be
correct.
En- Route to Europe
Julius Schwill is president of Albert
SchwlH &Co, manufacturers of malt,
Chicago, and is member of the Har-
ward, South Shore and Chicago Auto
mobile clubs. According to assertions
made By relatives in Chicago vester-
day, he and Mrs. Schwill left Chicago
on February 8, en- route to Europe.

Distinct evidences of "save-the

that he had taken up with Mayor Hylan
and Commissioner Hamilton, of the
Department of Correction, the matter
of housing civil prisoners in some
city institution and auctioning the his

The Shcriff's mail was swelled 30

were poured in by Alimony Club mem
bers who live in New York, and when
outside members hear of the proposal
to turn the Ludlow Street boarding
place into pushcart garage or some
thing of a like commercial cast, it is
expected that the save-the-jail move
ment will assume national, if not
an international aspect. A particularly
heavy vote of protest is anticipated
from the motion picture colony in
Southern California, and from the ex-
alimoners of Ludlow Street who have
tiocked to Cuba.
