Boys Let Butcher

Snowhouse Denizens See
$22 Juvenile Banditry;
Say Nothing Till Pastor
Melts Esquimau Hearts

IT'S lucky thing for Hyman Jablono-
witz that the boys on East Eighth
Street hold Father Philip McGrath in
reverential awe. Otherwise Hyman
might be an icicle at this moment
Hyman is--or was-liberal minded in
respect to boys himself, and let them
build a spowhouse on the curb in front
of his butcher shop at 401 East Eighth
Street, but Father McGrath, formerly
known as "the fighting parson" on
West Street, came to the parish Of st.
Brigid's on the East Side with rep
utation which canonized him in the
eyes of youth.
When two boys, about twelve years
old, entered Hyman's shop about 6
o'clock last night and demanded fl
cents worth o. dog meat, the butcher
didn't tell them he was just closing
up. He took knife and went into the
ice box to get the meat.
No sooner was he inside than the
boys drew the bar which locks the ice
box door into its hasp and Hyman was
a prisoner in his shirtsleeves in a cell
whose temperature was below the
freezing point. His captors walked to
the cash register and helped them
selves to it's contents, about $22. Then
they walked out.
True TO Boydom Ethics
All this had been seen by the youth
full denizens of the snow house at the
curb. but the ethics of boyhood pre-
vented them from interfering in any
way. They just went on cooking blub
Der and hunting seals.
Their polar existence was interrupted
half an hour later by the advent of
the stocky, sandy-haired priest No
the summit of the igloo than all the
Esquimaus abandoned the battle with
the polar bear, left the fire untended
and lined up to doff their hats and wish
him good day as he passed.
To one young Esquimaus, reared in a
religious atmosphere which peopled his
world with saints and devils, the ad-
vent of Father McGrath just at this
luncture savored of the divine. He
had been worrying bit anyhow about
the involuntary Esquimaus in the ice
box, and as Father McGrath strobe past
with the cordial Good evenin' ~ We.
boys!" he FASTENED after him and
pluckcd at his coattails.
Reveals Prisoners Plight
Father" said the boy, 20 couple of
poNs mas locked Hymle IN his ice box"
The priest asked no questions. He
knows boys as we'll as men. He went
into the butcher shop and unfastened
the ice box door. The unfortunate
butcher, speechless from cold and anxi-
ETY., fell into his arms An hour later
he had thawed out enough to identify
Israel Mendelson, of 4O5 East Eighth
Street, whom Detective Grossman had
arrested, as one of his captors.
In the Sheriff Street police station
Israel admitted that the identification
was right, but steadfastly refused to
tell who his companion was. An hour
ana an nall of questioning brought only
the replies: II don't know; think I'm
going to squeal on me pal?"

u. S. TO DEAL WITH

Policy viii Be Formulated
Regardless of Russia.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April 20.-The
United States has adopted the new policy
of dealing directly with the Far Eastern
Republic of Chita. one or the offshoots
or the Russian Soviet regime in Siberia.
An official American mission has left

Abbott, United States Commercial At

The decision to send a mission to
Chita follows representations recently
made by agents of this new Far East
ern republic TO the United States to the
effect that 1t would like to send a
mission 10 Washington seeking recogni-
ton. The authorization OF the Ameri-
can mission shows clearly how much
Importance is attached TO developments
in that quarter of the world. The added
fact that the United States mission is
timed to accord with the controversy
with Japan over the island of Yap gives
the decision added significance
Direct dealing with Chita means that
The State Department has undertaken

Jess of the Russian problem as a whole.
II Is known here that Japan has watched
fhe organization of the Far Eastern re-
public with mixed feelings II has de-
sired the erection of a buffer state be-

feared that the Chita Government might
constitute a future menace rather than

the miners and mine owners. This in
wolves neither State control nor State
subsidy.
Demands for the establishment OF a
national wage board and a national
wage pool have been reaffirmed by large
majorities by district committees of
miners throughout the country, II is
claimed by the Daily Herald. the organ
OF labor. A statement issued by the
miners federation declared that Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges address on Mon
day did not carry the possibility of a
settlement any further than Il stood late
last week 1t says Mr.. Lloyd George has
not vet grasped the essential features of
the national wage pool" and that he Is
"obsessed by the view that the miners
domand pool OF profits. whereas their
proposal is remote from the averaging
OF profits
1t is suggested that there shall be
levied a certain amount on each ton or
coal, this money being used for the pur-
pose OF establishing the wage pool. 1t
is proposed that the sum levied should
be figured AS one of the elements OF the
cost of production.
An appeal, signed by number OF
leading bishops and non-conformist
clergy. has been made public. urging
dispassionate consideration of the min
ere demands for fair wage on the
basis of the tonnage levy proposed by
the miners federation.
The Government has taken new steps
to alleviate as far as possible the diff
culties of the poorer classes in obtain

in line, and also to establish emergency

TOXIC. April 20.-The Cabinet yester-

question because OF the recent American
note on the subject, according to the
Nicli Nichi to-day. The decision of the
Ministry will be reported Friday at an

The Foreign ONCE said 1t could
neither confirm nor deny the above re-
port. Foreign Office officials added the
Government deemed it wise not to make
any statement or comment on the fap
question beyond what has been or will
be published by mutual understanding
between the Japanese and American
Governments.
Publication locally of the cor;espon-
denGe on the question OF mandates has
been followed by a change of tone in
the Japanese newspapers, which gen
orally consider the American attitude
unreasonable. The summary of the
comment is that the United States

says: "A notable feature has been the

Conditions in Ireland are set forth in
two opposing standpoints, in the COM
munication recently issued by Dublin

that there was neither a failure OF crops

whole is less affected by trade depres-
zion and unemployment than either
England or Scotland.
The Dali Eireann statement calls in
question many of the statements of the
official communique and says the "mer-
ciless barbarity OF the Crown forces" is
ignored in the official communique and
that destruction Of property and wide
spread loss and suffering OF the whole
population are likewise passed over in
silence. Concerning unemployment in
