Bedtime Stories
Chatterer Jeers at Happy Jack
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Some people ,vithout doubt
Feel no disgrace unless found out.
Happy Jack SQUIRREL

Happy Jack isn't this kind. All the
time he was in, Bobby Coon's house he
felt ashamed of himself for allowing Gu
riosity to lead him to do thing he knew
wasn't right. He knew he would never
have quite the self-respect he had had
before he did this thing. ~ would hate
to be found out I surely would hate
to be found out" said he to himself. as
he carefully and slowly crept down in
side Bobby Coon's house. I'm glad no
one saw me come IN and L nope no one
will see me GO out"
Happy Jack found things just as
Chatterer the Red Squirrel had said
they were. As he expressed it, there
was "a pile of Coons" in the bed at the
bottom of that hollow. How many there
were he couldn't tell any more than
Chatterer, because they were all to-
gether in mass. He couldn't even tell
which one was Bobby Coon He didn't
waste any time trying to find out. He
didn't feel at all comfortable in there,
and he was in hurry to get out as
soon as he had satisfied his curiosity
When he reached Bobby Coon's door
way he carefully peeped out before 60
ing out. He wanted to make sure that
no one was about to see him leaving
Bobby Coon's house. He peeped this
way. He peeped that way. He couldn't
see any one. Apparently there was no
one about. Hastily Happy Jack scram-
bled out. Instantly the sharp voice of
his small cousin, Chatterer the Red
Squirrel, barked from the top of that
very tree.
"See him! See him!" shrieked Chat
terer gleefully. Gle wouldn't go into
nnother's housed! Oh, no, he wouldn't
go into another's house! He is such q
good fellow! My, my, my, no one in
such nice, modest, gray coat would
ever even think of such thing as 60
ing into the house of neighbor while
he slept. Of course not. No indeed.
He just got in there by mistake He
thought it was his own door and got
way inside before he found out his mis-
take"
Happy Jacks ears burned, as the say
ing is. He guessed that his saucy
cousin had suspected what he would do
and had watched and seen him enter
Bobby Coon's house. Now all the Green
Forest would know about it. He would
be disgraced. Chatterer would tell how
he had pretended to be too gooC to do
such thing and then had done it just
IS soon as he thought no one saw him.
Happy Jack lost his temper and rushed
at Chatterer. Chatterer ran swiftly
along branch to the end of it and
ieaped across to branch OF another
tree, Happy Jack after him. 1t was the

Lusk Says Upstate Party
Leaders Are Business Men
Senator Asserts They Are Chosen
Because of Their Success;
Charges Ii Ia Different Here

Senator Clayton r. Lusk, leader of
the Republican majority in the Upper
House at Albany, undertook last night
at the meeting of the Republican
County Committee at Bryant Hall to
explain the difference between the sort
of party leaders demanded here and
upstate.
Upstate" he said. "the rule is that
only men who have been successful in
their village and county business af-
fairs are trusted with political leader
ship, but down here many of the lead
ers are chosen after they have made a
failure of everything else"
He declared that in his home county
of Cortland he was regarded as q So
eialist because he had favored the
building of public market, but that
In New York City he was referred to
rs reactionary.
Senator Lusk said that he had good
reason to believe that the traction in
terests were very much dissatisfied with
Governor Miller's traction proposals.

Cilpin Would Not Accept
Drama League Invitation
Negro Star Announces That
Trouble Over Having Him at
Dinner Is All Needless

All of the Drama Leagues scheming
to avoid inviting Charles Gilpin, negro
star in "The Emperor jones'" to din
ner as a guest of honor, and all the
threats of Gilpin's friends to boycott
the dinner, and all the subsequent at
tempts by the league to explain away
the problem were brought to nothing
yesterday when friends of Gilpin him
self let it be known that the actor
would not accept an invitation by the
league anyhow.
Gilpin himself would not be quoted,
but from those close to him it was
given out that the negro stars mind
was definitely made up, and that his
friends might as we'll take his name off
their ballots altogether
Adolph Klauber, theatrical manager,
who brought Gilpin from theater in
Macdougal Street to Broadway, felt
that the league might have honored
Gilpin with an invitation, knowing that
he would not attend if he felt that his
presence would touch the prejudices Of
other guests. Mr. Klauber said he
thought the actor would not be discour-
aged by the incident, which had
brought out many expressions of SYM
pathy and appreciation that might
otherwise have been withheld.

against the American Institute for
Scientific Research, and dismissed the
action.

legged contract under which he said he
was employed for life as office man
ager In connection with department
maintained by the defendant known as
the Psychical Research Society The
American Institute for Scientific Re-
search denied the existence of the con-
tract. 1t was alleged that the contract

Only Hope Is in Miller
Bills, Says Garrison
Declares One Word Written
Into Governors Proposals
Would Nullify Them

Enactment of Governor Miller's pro-
posed traction bills is the only hope
OF saving New York's transportation
system, Lindley NJ Garrison, receiver
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, told
the members of the Union League Club
yesterday afternoon.
mayor Hylan," Mr.. Garrison said,
claims to have a constructive plan to
solve the problem, 1t is to continue
to operate the parts of the system that
pay at the present rate of fare and to
scrap the remaining parts, particularly
the surface lines.
These surface lines have rendered
very important service in the build
ing up of the city. They are the only
thing that has made the prosperity of
Brooklyn possible Wherever people
have invested their money in these
lines that have done so much for the
community they are entitled to the
preservation of whatever remains of
their property"
Mr., Garrison asserted there was no
question of the right of the state to
assume regulation of the subway, az"
and surface lines. He declared there
were any number of court decisions
upholding this contention.
Mf. Iarrlson came out hatly against
the proposition that the city, through
the Board of Estimate, should have a
veto power over rulings of the Transit
Commission which Governor Miller's
bills would set up.
That is mere blatant noise" he
said. "If we write one word into Gov
ernor Miller's proposals we nullify
them. He who says he is for the Gov
ernor's plan with an amendment giving
the city the final say means that he
is against the plan. That is one thing
that is absolutely certain"

that Doran, Chapman and Herbert

Chooses Epicure as Lawyer

Insisting that he was innocent, of g
charge of robbery, Jacob Fischer, a
waiter, had told Judge Mulqueen in
General Sessions yesterday that he
didn't want lawyer assigned to de-
fend him, on the ground that My face
is my best asset. You can see I
wouldn't do thing like that"
The court was unconvinced and as
signed two lawyers in the courtroom to
defend Fischer. Their names were Fab
ricant and Collins
II don't want them," objected
Fischer. II will take Moses Sachs,
though. I know him WE'LL"
When Sachs disclaimed acquaintance
with Fischer the former became indig-
nant, saying: "You know me we'll.
You like your eggs fried on one side
only"
Fischer's lawyers, however, will be
Fabricant and Collins.

Rosenbiait Calls Governors
Traction Plan Bolsheyistic

Magistrate Bernard A. Rosenblatt, ad-
dressing a meeting of protest against
Governor Miller's traction plan at
Wadleigh High School last night, said
the Governor was Bolshevist, argu-
ing this way: That Bofshevism was
based upon denial of property rights:
that the City of New York had invested
about $50 per capita in its traction sys-
tem with the idea of maintaining a
five-cent face, and "now Governor Mil
Ter would take away this private prop
erty without even consulting the City
Of New York"

100000 Of Good urniture at Exactly Il
Today Marks the
Birthday Anniversary
of George Peabody

to whom Queen Victoria, out of
her personal regard for the
illustrious American citizen,
presented an exquisite miniature
picture of herself, painted ex-
pressly for Mr.. Peabody as
token of her regard.
George Peabody was born, a
poor boy, on the 18th of Febru-
ary, 1895, at Danvers, Massachu-
setts.
At the early age of eleven he
was apprenticed to Sylvester
Proctor, at Danvers, who kept
country store, where he worked
out his apprenticeship; and
afterward joined his elder
brother, David Peabody, in a
dry goods and draper's shop, in
Newburyport.
When Mr.. Peabody left New
buryport he was under age and
not worth dollar. Mr.. Spauld-
ing gave him letter of credit
by which he obtained two thou
sand dollars worth of mcrchan-
disc, and this was his start in
life, as he afterwards told the
citizens of Boston at public
reception.
He was modest, polite man,
and, station agent once said of
him, "a comfortable man to
have around"
He went to London, England,
and amassed great wealth as
banker, and became famous for
the buildings he erected for the
poor of London, Public Libra
rles abroad and in this. country.
and much beloved all over the
world for his generosity and
philanthropy.
The great honors bestowed
upon him reflected highly upon
the good name of America all
over the world.

DON C.MOTE NAMED NEW BEE INSPECTOR

Don c. Mote. state entomoiogist. was appointed state inspector of apiaries by Governor Campbell yesterday to take the place of L. Earl Matteson. re- signed. Tn the appointment of Mir. Mote, Governor Campbell is carrying out his policy of combining various de- partments and commissions.
 Mir Matteson in a report to the gover- nor some time ago recommended that the work be placed under the depart ment headed by MT Mote. At that time he rendered his resignation in order that he might give his entire at tention to his bee interests in Cochise county.
 Mir. Mote in accepting the new re- sponsibility will appoint a deputy in his office to take care of this particu- lar department of work. In all prob ability it will be Richard F. Jones, who was at one time connected with the of- flee of the state entomoloxist of Ore- gon, and later maintained an apairy of his own.
