remain on the top floor, while he drew

They grappled, struggling over the

near the coping. Tenants of the house,
hearing the shots and commotion OF

in their nightclothes to the scene and
May had company in his state of diena-

Demonstrations i'm Streets
Ministry Accused of Fail
ure at Home and of Dis
gracing Nation Abroad

TOXIC, Feb 20.-Many arrests were
made outside the Diet building last
night, following the defeat in the House
of Representatives of a resolution Of
lack of confidence in the government.
The vote was 259 to 141.
The session was extremely turbulent,
and police reserves were held both
within and outside the building. The
galleries were crowded. and among
those present we're many women. From
both the galleries and the floor the
speakers for the government and the
Opposition we're hooted.
Tokitochi Taketomi, former Minister
of Finance, spokesman for the Kensei-
kai party, accused the ministry of
thinking always of the ministerial
party and never of the people. He
said the government had failed in it's
efforts at home and that it had brought
disgrace to Japan abroad.
Deplores Chinese Attitude
M. Moka, former Speaker of the
Chamber, in defending the Cabinet,
said its policies were justifable, even
if they had not always been followed
with satisfactory results. If the rela-
tions between Japan and China were
rot ideal, he declared, this was because
the former ministry of Count Okuma
had made unreasonable demands on
China
At the same time that the demon
stration was held outside the Diet there
were simultaneous meetings in various
parks in the city at which the resig-
nation of the government was de-
manded
AT a mass meeting held under the
auspices of the Kensei-Kai resolution
was adopted declaring that the people
mao no confidence in the government
1t is estimated that 10000 persons at
tended the meeting.

Stripped Of Pants, Shoes, Socks,
Braves Snow, Catches Footpad

Franklin May, of PAP West Forty
eighth Street, was plodding home
through the snow early yesterday when
a negro leaped out of hallway on
Fortieth Street, between Eighth and
Ninth avenues, and dealt him blow
over the head with blackjack
May, only partly stunned, offered no
resistance while the footpad took $50
out of his pocket. This done, the ban
dit addressed his PROSTATE victim as
follows:
"Ethah All has to knock yo' all cold
or go take off yo' shoes, socks and
trousahs. All CANT take no chance on
yo' chasin' aftah me-"
May ruofully compiled. The negro put
these spoils under his arm and darted
west on Fortieth Street. But he had
miscalculated the desperation of a man
left harefooted and trouserless in the
first blizzard of winter. May pursued,
crying police! Stop thief" at the
top of his voice.
This alarm and the sight OF two
naked feet. surmounted by a tapping
uvercoat, sprinting through the snow

Sheriff, New York County
The foregoing describes in brief the

any purpose other than as a jail for if
the plans of Sheriff Knott work out
the famous headquarters of the Ali
mony Club will go on the auctioneer's
block and be knocked down to the
highest bidder. Thus will pass another
old New York landmark.
Big Expense to City
While from the standpoint of the
prisoners the Jail is a great success, so
far as the city is concerned the institu-
tion is best described by the song De
Wolf Hopper used to sing in "Wang":
That elephant would eat all night.
ana tnat elepndnt would eat ali daV
So every cent OF my earnings went
To keep that beast in hay.
Really, Ludlow Street Jail for long
time has been an elephant on the
hands of the city, eating bales of the
taxpayers hay and being altogether
the most expensive Jail in this or any
other city. AS Sheriff Knott said yester-
day, "The county could maintain the
Ludlow Street prisoners more cheaply
at hotel than it does keeping them in
jail"
It should not be inferred from this
that members of the Aiimony Club are
maintained in luxury. SO far as the
actual routiRe expenses of the ali
monastery are concerned, the watch
word of Sheriff Knott has been econ
omy. The point is that the Jail and
the property it occupies are too big and
expensive for the housing Of the
dwndling membership of the Alimony
Club.
Alimoners Dodging Prison
Particularly is this true since the
new law went into effect under which
an almoner may be confined in jail
every time he falls in arrears of ali
mony payments to wife or ex-wife.
whereas formerly he could purge him
self for all time By serving just once.
This law, which it was believed would
result in putting delinquent husbands
in jail more than once, has had the re
verse effect Alimoners keep paid up
now after serving one term or else
leave the state.
