Court Refuses to Evict

County Judge Mcmahon, in Brooklyn
yesterday, refused to grant an appli-
cation for the dispossessing Of Miss
Emma Munks, nearly eighty years old,
and q retired public school teacher,
from her two-room apartment at 428
Carlton Avenue.
Miss Munks, who is receiving pen
sion of $50 month from the Board Of

prominent citizens of Brooklyn, and
she was recognized Immediately upon
her entrance in court by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Thomas P. Peters as one
Of his former teachers.
Mrs. Elizabeth Yearwood, Miss
Munks's landlady, complained to the
court that her tenant had become un-
tidy and that she made noises at night
which annoyed other tenants. Miss
Munks vigorously denied the allega-
tion. Mrs. Ellen Joyce, who was. sent
by the Board of Education to investi-
gate the controversy, said she had
often called on the aged teacher with

Mayor Hylan directed department

Of reducing running expenses of their

that the Hearst-Tammany combination
regards tho last budget Of $345,o00, 900
and the one for 1922, which is larger
by $50,000,000, as embarrassments to
the fall campaign.
They suspect, it is said, that Repub-
licans will be able to point to q state
budget considerably reduced by Cover
nor Miller's economies. Nevertheless
the city budget makers will have Co
add to the 1922 budget next fall the

ALBANY, May 7.---Governor Miller
announced to-day that he will grant
the request Of the New York District
Attorneys Office for the calling Of an
extraordinary term of the Supreme
Court to assist in handling the thou
sands of prohibition cases piled UP
since the polices under the Mullan-
Gage laws, have been required to en-
force prohibition. The formal applica-
tion in writing was received by him
to-day.
At conference here Thursday the
situation confronting the. New York
courts was presented to the Governor
by Acting District Attorney Joab H.
Banton and Robert Johnstone.
With every police station almost
filled with seized liquors and the
Union Market police warehouse and
chemical testing rooms stacked with
other containers, the police continued
their raid yesterday. 1t is estimated
that the chemist who tests all the
samples cannot finish his job before
1880 and that the courts may never
cease to grind upon enforcement
cases.
First Deputy Commissioner Leach, in
charge of prohibition enforcement,
continued to enforce the law, stopping
only long enough to march in the an
nual police parade. Directly after the
parade he was back on his job
Mrs. Agnes Meckowitch, twenty-six
years old, of 81 Jefferson Street, was
arraigned before Magistrate Bernhard
Rosenblatt yesterday, charged with
violating the state liquor law. Near
her, on their fathers knee. were her
two children, two and fours years old.
Because Of the children, the magis-
trate reduced bail from the usual $500
to $50. The bail was forthcoming, and
the alleged offender walked from the
courtroom carrying bag on each arm
A charge of intoxication also rests
against the young mother.
1t was reported yesterday that the
May grand jury in Brooklyn had failed
to indict in seventy-six out of ninety
eight cases presented to it. This jury
is refusing to indict, it was reported,
in all cases where the actual sale of
intoxicants cannot be established.

WASHINGTON, May THE ghost
Of John Barleycorn will bob up In

completely dead.
Every now and then the corpse stirs
and creates excitment. This time
enemies of the departed plan to de-
liver final whack. Considering the

sbers predict that the new Volstead
measure, designed to prohibit sale Of
beer to the sick, will be put through.
Volstead for and against any added
restrictions. Doctors, including the
general practitioner who still sticks to
the old top buggy as a means Of reach
ing the sick, seem to be divided. about
fifty-ifty, according to the letters on
the question of medical beer. Some
have written that it is not needed to
help the ailing; others have protested
that 1T was not right to keep the sick

meals, for his stomach's sake.
So the committee agreed to hear
then, Mr.. Volstead predicted, put put
through the bill designed to put medi-
cal beer in place all it's own in the
Barleycorn family graveyard.
Aside from Mr.. Volstead's tighten
lng-up measure, three or four others
affecting prohibition are pending. The
blli which. would permit American
ships to sell liquor beyond the three
mile limit will be considered by the
Merchant Marine Committee, but the

forcement act, and also the Wood bill,
