Debt Reputation

Revision of the currency means
wiping off the slate and starting anew
with the past entirely forgotten. 1t
carries with it redistribution of
wealth and it is synonymous with debt
reputation, but it will be the repudia-

and never in history has internal re-
pudiation caused the destruction of a
nation. 1t will be more popular than
the other alternative, for as is we'll

mainly derived from bank resources.
considerably less than 10 per cent of
the loans were in the hands of those
who subscribed for 1,00o marks or less.
In all probability the greater part of
these have already been disposed of
and corporate losses have already been
taken care of through the setting up of
proper reserves. Property taxation
cannot reach these holdings because

revision will obviate this difficulty.
Meanwhile, until the ultimate solu-

found it a trial to leave the comfort

silence. Indeed, his tongue was shame

what to say.

Ambulance Called
TO Aid Gas Victim
Man Accidentally Overcome
Laments His Unconscious
ness During Excitement
as Surgeon Revives Him

Harry Abramowitz, twenty-one years
old, was overcome by gas yesterday in
his home, 1912 Park Avenue. 1t was an
accident, and as much Of surprise to
him as to any one. He was especially
interested on his resuscitation by the
presence Of several tiremen with axes,
hooks and a line of hose.
The fire companies were really I'M
necessary, but in the excitemen of find
ing Abramowitz unconscious in a room
redolent of gas his neighbors sought
all possible aid. Some one called an
ambulance. Another sent in fire
alarm.
The ambulance arrived first with a
pulmotor, and the surgeon set to work
pumping fresh air into Abramowitz' IS
lungs. Several fire companies rushed up
and looked for fire. Reserves from
the East 104th Street police station had
to be summoned to control the crowds
attracted by the engines.
Abram owitz, under the treatment of
the pulmotor, came out of a world of
airy nothingness and looked about him.
The first person to take definite form
IN his consciousness was DR.. O'Brien,
Of Harlem Hospital, so Abram owitz ad-
dressed his remarks to him.
Whats the excitement?" he asked.
DR.. O'Bricn told him that, unfortu-
nately, he had been asleep during the
most interesting part of it, and that
now it was practically all over.

you wake me up?n

Bedtime Stories
Too Late Chatterer Is Sorry
By Thornton w. Burgess
OF yourself TO hold command
Keep your temper qOeW IN hand.
-Chatterer the Red Squirrel.

The best laid plans, even those of
the smartest of Red Squirrels, some
times go wrong. Chatterers plan had
gone wrong, just about as wrong as
it could go. Those provoking Bear
twins. Boxer and Woof- w oof, Instead
of being scared into falling or scram-
bling down from that tree, had been
made angry and actually were start
ing after him. Boxer started first
and Woof-Woof promptly followed.
You know, whatever Boxer did she
did
Now, Chatterer hadn't reckoned on
any such thing as this happening.
Not at all. And like most people
not at all brave. Most of his bravery
is in his tongue. For just an instant
he was too surprised to move. Even
his tongue was still. Then he turned
and ran up that tree as fast as he
could.
The twins came scrambling after,
and they came surprisingly fast You
see, up there there were plenty of
branches to hold on to, so they had
no fear of falling. Chatterer was so
scared that he didn't use those usu-
ally quick wits of his and ran UP
past the only branch of that tree that
reached out near enough TO another
for him to jump across. When he
thought of it it was too late. Yes,
sir, it was too late. Boxer was al
ready standing on that very branch.
Chatterer felt then that he was
trapped He couldn't jump across to
another tree. He didn't dare try to
get down past those twins. He
wouldn't think of jumping down to
the ground unless he was actually
. obliged to, for it was dreadful jump.
All he could do was to climb higher
and hope those twins would be afraid
to follow him,
But by this time Boxer and Wool
Wool were enjoying the chase. They
enjoyed the fun Of climbing, and they
were enjoying the discovery that they
were no longer afraid of this saucy
relocated scamp, but that he was
afraid of them.
''See him run." cried Boxer. "Come
on, Wool Woof. let's catch him. He is
so small ana quick that he can get
about faster then we can, but we are
two and he is only one. Between US
we ought to be able to catch him."

DR.. A, L. Goldwater, Of 141 West

Goldwater. "The slow-poking, dilatory
procrastinating person who dawdles

dissolution than the hustler who goes

DR.. Goldwater became interested
some time ago in trying to discover
what caused early deaths among men
in big Observation-Disclosures they died
from too much hustling or from the
reaction that ensued on retirement and
addiction to golf. All the well-worn
theories have been exploded, according
to DR.. Goldwater's findings 1t isn't

Heads of the most important indus

Henry Awarded
New Trial by
Appeals Court
Police Inspectors Convic-
ton on Perjury Charge
Is Unanimously Reversed;
Evidence Called Faulty
Confederation Is Lacking
Feud With District Attorney
on Gambling Raids Held
Improper as Testimony

The Appellate Division yesterday by
unanimous opinion reversed the con
viction of Police Inspector Dominick
Henry on the charge Of perjury and
ordered a new trial.
Inspector Henry was convicted on
statements made by him in aflidavits
concerning James L. Smith, Assistant
District Attorney, which he accused of
promising immunity to certain gam
blers. These af1idavits were made public
during a period when Mr.. Smith was
making raids on alleged illegal places
over the heads of the police officials
and when there was great friction be-
tween the Police Department and the
Office of the District Attorney.
The indictment was found on March
so, 1920, and Henry was convicted on
June Is before Justice Weeks. In
spector Henry has been at liberty on
bail under certificate of reasonable
doubt.
The Courts Decision
Justice Greenbaurn, who wrote the
unanimous opinion Of the Appellate
Division, said
"The law is we'll settled that there
can be no conviction for the crime OF
perjury where the only evidence of the
false swearing is that Of the accusing
witness, who-if he had not testified
would thereby have admitted his own
guilt"
Justice Greenbaum held that the tes-
timony Of James E. Smith. the COM
planning witness, had not been corro-
borated. 1t was also the opinion of the
court that Justice Weeks admitted evil
dencc at the trial of Inspector Henry
that was prejudicial to the defendant
and should not have been admitted. One
subject that was not proper subject
for the consideration of the jury, JUS
tice Greenbaum said, was the dispute
between the Police Department and the
office of the District Attorney. as no
connection was shown between Inspec-
tor Henry personally and the matter m
dispute.
Henry Corroborated
e Justice Greenbaum said the testi-
mony of Inspector Henry in some re-
spects was corroborated by six police
men, who, so far as the records showed
were disinterested witnesses.
referring to certain matters brought
out by the prosecution at the trial of
Inspector Henry, Justice Grcenbaum
said:
Sufficient has been shown to demon
strate that the purpose of cross-exam-
ming the defendant along the lines in
dictated was either to establish q mo-
tive for defendants alleged false utter
ances, or to create an atmosphere of
hostility against the Police Department
which would reflect adversely upon the
defendant and those of his witnesses
who are police officers
