HOP CROP
HARVEST
ISOVER
Over $4,000 Bales In
Storage; Clean Pick
Recorded; Damage by
Frost SligL

Hop picking season Is closing
The majority Of hop yards hav'
closed already, while there are bui
few which will continue work oveI
the first of next week.
Between fifty and fifty-fiv'
thousand bales have been harvest
ed since the beginning of the sea
son, the first OF the month, and
the quality of hops and character
of picking has not been excelled in
perts today. Hop growers are par
ticularly grateful for this fact. be-
cause of the complaints of British
buyers, last year, on the condition
Of the 1920 crop.
No Frost Damage.
No damages has been done by
the recent frosts, or SO little that
1t could hardly be estimated, for
1t is believed that due to the fine
weather which has accompanied
the picking season that the great
err portion OF the hops were in be-
fore the frosts commenced, and,
further, that the frosts were not
heavy enough to destroy those
still unpicked.
While there has been some dis
satisfaction expressed by pickers
over the SO cents per box received,
on the whole they have been well
satisfied, hop men contnd, and the
average daily wage in the major
ity OF yards has been So to $3.50.
Shipping Date Uncertain.
When shipping to British mar
kets will commence, hop men are
unable to say, for II is entirely up
to the board of hop control when
the American product shall be ad-
mitted for English consumption.
Before this can be done, It is
necessary for the English hops to
be harvested and shipped to the
government warehouse with a |
statement from the British grower
as to the cost Of production. The
hops are then graded by the board
Of control. the average cost is esti-
mated, the price set, and allott-
ments made to the brewers, ac-
cording to their brewing capacity.
When this is done, American hops
will be allowed In Britain.
The idea OF the board of control
is to protect the English grower
against American competition, for
in spite of the lower labor costs
and lower standards Of living in
the United States can
produce hops cheaper than the
British isles, for the reason that
there is heavier yield to the acre.
Last year the board of control
fixed the price for hops close to a
dollar pound, but the British
hop growers We're dissatisfied aid
that the price brought
40 return.
Few hop shipments from the
Pacific coast are made by water
through the Panama canal, hop
men state, for the reason that they
10 not keep and because this
means of transportation requires
most expensive layout in prepara-
ion, so that most of the hops are
landed by transcontinental rail-

''Bald as a Coot'' After
5000 Haircut, He Sues
Charges That Woman Shipped
Locks ON Inssallment Plan,
but Didn't Cure Ulcers

Groachino Pernio, of 210 Forsyth
Street, "ays he paid $500 for ar Install
ment haircut at the hands of Mrs. AM
ella La Verdi, of 2O4 First Avenue, who
was held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate
Thomas Nolan in the Essex Market
on syester0av on Perm, s charge
that she had obtained the money under
IA s pretenses.
Pernio is said to have told Detectives
Ertola and Campominosi of the Clinton
Street Station that Mrs. La Verdi had
said she could cure Pernio of ulcers
for the modest sum of fifty dollars.
The woman told Pernio, he asserted
that in order to work the charm she
would have to clip lock of hair from
his head.
Being specially anxious to get rid
OF the ulcers, Pernio said, he gave the
supposed healer fifty dollars and per-
mltted her to snip lock of his hair.
She gave one excuse after another
for not helping him, the complainant
SAID to Judge Nolan, until his hair had
been clipped ten times and he w;s
bald as coot." Moreover, he said
he paid additional installments of ten
dollars for every clip. When Mrs, La
Verdi demanded 5000 to insure that hey
charms would work, Pernio said he
lost faith in her and complained to the
police. S'-e
Mrs. La Veldi denied Pernio's charges
and refused to discuss her arrest.

ALBANY. Feb. 24.--Governor Miller
at the hearing to-day on the Walton
Smith bill licensing theater ticket
spectators and limiting their profits
to 30 cents, expressed doubts as to the
constitutionality of the measure. He
intlmated that the way to deal with
the evil was to tax Spectators out of
existence, and suggested that he would
sign such a bill.
Should the Governor veto the Wal
ton-Smith bill, as is likely, bill i'm
posing a tax on ticket spectators big
enough to drive them out of business
will be introduced in the Legislature.
The ticket spectators, who always
seem to have unlimited funds at their
disposal had some of the ablest law
ycrs in the country here to fight the
bill. Their chief arguments were made
by Louis Marshall, who raised the
question OF the constitutionalty of the
legislation.
After the hearing Governor Miller
was told that 1t was a frequent prac-
tice for some theater to inform patrons
that they had no seats. but that The
patron would be directed, when he left

Alleged Vender

Sn1uggler on Board Ship
Bound Here From Italy

Detective Sergeant Joseph Mooney
with Detectives Nassau, Higgins and
Boylan of the narcotic squad, arreste|
Daniel Colleto, Of 21s East Forty~sixti
Street, last night, after Sergeant
Mooney says he had spent two hours
posing as wealthy drug addict in dis
tress, finally inducing Colleto to sell
him heroin.
After Colleto is said to have yielded
and the whereabouts of his cache was
revealed, Sergeant Mooney signaled his
men and the raid was on. A briei
search revealed $4,000 worth of heroin,
cocaine and opium, it is said. Colleto
attempted no resistance, acknowledged
his guilt and compiimented the detec~
tives on their work.
"l'm an old hand" Colleto is quoted
as saying, "and I'll say your work was
smooth"
The drugs seized were 4ound in bu-
reau drawers OF the apartment, con-
tanned in several cigar boxes. The po-
lice say that Colleto confessed being
the agent of man who travels con-
stantly between Italian ports and New
y smuggling drugs. The identity of
this man was established, and his ar
rest is expected when next he arrives
here. He is now said to be en- route
from Italy.
A statement Of the record breaking
activities of DR.. Carleton Simon, Spe-
cial Deputy Police Commissioner, in
charge of the suppression of the traffic
in illicit drugs, was given out last
night at his office at Police Headquar-
ters,
"The total number of drug venders
and street traffickers arrested during
"has been more than for the entire
year of 1919, and in the three and one
'alf months that Commissioner Simon
has been in office he has doubled the
number of arrests made in 1919 and
equaled the entire number made in
1920"
