A seedy looking fellow came into an office the other day and said that he had been walking all over the city for several days looking for work; that he was out of employment and his family were really suffering for something to eat. He said that he was willing to do anything to earn a dollar. The kind hearted business man loaned him a dollar-he insisted | that it was only a loan and that he would repay it sometime. Later in | the day the kind business man saw his impecunious visitor laying in a good supply of ice cream at nearby store for his starving family.
 Benton has the distinction of having the first daily vacation Bible school ever established in Arkansas. it is under the auspices of the Presbyter- ion church, of which the Rev. F. M Wylie of Hot Springs is educational director. The plan is to provide two and a half hours of religious instruc- ton daily for five days in the week | for five weeks during the summer months for children between the ages of 4 and 14 years. This will give the child TO hours of Bible study during the vacation period, which is much more than usually enjoyed by chil- dren in even the most efficiently or ganized Sunday school.
 The school at Benton opened May 9 with an enrolment of 85, which had increased ten days later to 179. The faculty is entirely voluntary and il has been found that there are many teachers and others capable of as sisting in this work who are ready and willing to volunteer their serv. ices. The children are taught music calisthenics, sewing, craft work, such as the making of hammocks, book. cases and other simple household ar ticles, and above all given thorough courses in religious instruction. Sim liar schools are to be opened else. where in the state, one at Prescott will be started June 6, and one at the Grace Presbyterian church in Little Rock sometime during June.

Sake Defends Miller
In County Committee
Criticizes Republicans Who Did
Not Support Governor; Plans !.
For Next Campaign Laid

Martin SAKE assailed Republicans
who failed to support Governor Miller
last night at a meeting of the New
York County Republican Committee,
held in Bryant Hall. Within year,
he predicted, the Republicans of this
state would be acclaiming Governor
Miller as they now acclaimed Charles
e. Hughes, who, he said, likewise en-
joyed undersigned unpopularity in 1907.
A resolution was adopted recon-
mending that municipal campaigns of
city-wide Importance be conducted by
committee to be appointed, the mem
bership of which should be represen-
tative of the entire city. Another reso-
luton was adopted requesting addi-
tional legislation to insure the install
lation Of voting machines in this city
for next years election.
Other resolutions which were adopted
congratulated President Harding and
Secretary of State Hughes upon the
auspicious opening Of the Conference
on the Limitation Of Armament; sue-
gested the appointment of committee
to consider amendments to the election
law; urged Republicans to forget their
city defeat of this year and prepare for
a successful campaign next fall, and
recommended the re-establishment of
the office of State Superintendent of
Elections.

Wallach Brothers Seek to En-
join Competitor From Oper-
ating as Wallack Brothers

Wallach Brothers, clothiers and hab-
erdashers with several stores through
out the city, obtained temporary in
junction in the Supreme Court yester-
day, restraining William Wallack from
doing similar business at 338 Madison
Avenue under the name of Wallack
Brothers. The older firm, charging
that the defendant was engaging in
unfair business methods, will ask for
permanent Injunction.
William Wa1lack was in the custom
tailoring business in New Haven in
1917. The partnership was dissolved,
and he came to New York and opened a
small store. Last September he fled
in the County Clerks Office a certificate
to the effect that he intended to do
business at the Madison Avenue address
under the name of Wallack Brothers.
1t was not long, it is said, before
Wallach Brothers began to receive
complaints from persons who had made
purchases from the William Wallack
establishment under the impression
that they were dealing with the ole
firm.
The alleged unfair competition of the
defendant caused much confusion to the
firm of Wallach Brothers, as we'll as te

S'Bluebeard'' to Produce
SsSlain Victim,' - He Says
Freedom or Death of Henri
Landau Believed to Hinge on
Outcome of Dramatic Offer

VERSAILLES, Nov. II (By The As
sociated Press).-A dramatic announce
ment made in open court to-day by
Henri Landru that he would produce
before the court one of the missing
women the prosecution charges him
with having murdered, proved the
climax Of the trial of the so-called
"Bluebeard of Gambais."
The opinion was general in the court
room that if Landru can make good his
declaration he most surely will be
acquitted, but that if he fails to do so
he will be guillotined.
Counsel for the defense absolutely
refuses to give any inkling of the
whereabouts of the missing woman re-
ferred to, but it is reported that evi
dence to be produced tomorrow will
be to the effect that the woman, Nine
Cuchet, together with her son, is now
in Rio de Janeiro. 1t is said she has
made affidavit before the French Con-
sui in the Brazilian capital of thei,
identity and expressed Willingness to
return to France providing that young
Cuchet shall be posted only as de.
serter from the army and granted i'm.
munity.
Prosecutor Godefroy will contend
that the alleged Nine. Cuchet and hel
son are .mposters.

clared that he was a supporter of the
Irish conference. 1t would require
three times the present British garri-
son in Ireland, he declared, to meet
Sim Fein resistance.
The most dramatic moment Of the
meeting came when Sir Archibald Sal
vldge moved an amendment approving
the Irish conference and vigorously at
tackled the "die-hards." There was an
uproar when he charged that it was
easy to be "die-hard" sitting in a
comfortable chair, but that they must
think of those who would have to 90
into Ireland and fight if the efforts for
a settlement failed
Sir Archibald, who has great influ-
ence in Liverpool, settled the fate of
the "die- hard" motion, and it's defeat
meant that Austen Chamberlain, who
spoke this evening at public meet
ing, has re-established himself as
leader of the Unionist party, with a
free hand to continue his support of

Hylan Will Cling
To Mayors Chair
For Next 4 Years
Judgeship Could Not Tempt
Him to Quit City Hall, He
Says; Declares He Will Re-
tain Official Happy Family

Mayor Hylan told newspapermen
yesterday that he intended to "stick"
as Mayor for the next four years and
could not be tempted to leave the City
Hall for place on the Supreme Court
bench. He also said that he consid-
cred his present municipal cabinet >
"happy family" and indicated that he
did not intend to make any wholesale
changes in the commissionerships or
heads Of departments
II intend, please Cod" said the
Mayor, ITO remain Mayor of this city
for the full term Of four years There
is no offer that would induce me to
relinquish that post after the wonder
full vote given me by the people Of this
city at the last election. Indeed, /
would be ungrateful if did not fully
acknowledge such tribute, and like
wise unworthy Of the trust that is
reposed in me-"
The Mayor took occasion again to
attack the Interests" and the news
papers, although he declared that he
forgave his "abusers" and harbored
no animosities. He said he was too
busy for that and that life was too

put him in Jail he was still on the job
and doing a full days work at the
City Hall.
81 have been mired, untermyered and
overshadowed," said the Mayor, but
am still intact"
"The people Of New York have re-
elected me to the biggest JOB in their
gift" he continued, "despite all the
unkind things certain newspapers ana
special interests have said about me.
Most Of the newspapers don't seem to
have their fingers on the public pulse
These newspapers tried to reform me
and the people turned on the news
papers and told them on Election Day
to reform themselves first. Yet in
spite of all the abuse forgive my
abusers. I,sreally am too busy to har-
Dor animosities-life is too short"
In answer to questions as to what
changes he might make in the various
city departments, the Mayor laughed
and declared his position was similar
to that Of man who was happily mar
red and had large family with whom
he was we'll satisfied.
Suppose you told such man you
heard that he was going to Danish his
wife to some desert isle and his sons
and daughters to the four corners of
the earth What would you expect him
to think of you? My official family is
doing quite nicely and I don't see any
reason now for making wholesale
changes"
The Mayors attitude would indicate
that he did not expect Police .Commis-
sioner Enright to resign, as was ru-
mored he might do, and that the re-
cent reports that Edwin j. O'Malley,
Commissioner of Public Markets.; Bird
S. Coler, Commissioner Of Public We'll
fare, and John P. Leo, Commissioner
of Street Cleaning. would not be reap
pointed were so far without founda-

City Welcome to Foch
Praised by French Hero
''We All Fought, Suffered and
Hoped Together" Says
NJ Ror.frand

Charles Bertrand, member Of the
French Chamber Of Deputies and
founder and head Of the Inter-A1lied
Association of Veterans and the Frenc Il
Union National de Combatants, spoke
before the Alliance Franchise at the
Waldorf-Astoria last night. He came
to this country on the same boat with
Marshal Foch to be the only civilian
guest of honor at the American Legion
convention.
Speaking of the welcome accorded to
the Marshal by New York, he declared
that he had thought the stenographers
along the way must have souandered
a weeks supply of paper to make the
butterflies" which they threw from the
Office windows.
And the thought came to me-" he
went on, chat Americans did we'll to
throw away paper in showing their
friendship for my country, for no
paper is needed. 1t was not in vain
that we all fought, suffered and hoped
together in the war. We have become
blood brothers through the blood that
was shed in the fields of France. Our
dead are mingled in the earth. And
we have not the right to break the
unity of that sacrifice That is the
unity upon which the hope of the
worlds peace must rest.
The men of the Inter-Allied Asso
clatlon OF Veterans mean to show that
they can take their part in peace as
we'll as in war. And we mean to take
part when diplomacy becomes toe
material. We who have sacrificed to-
gether mean to be the cement bindine
the nations together in a just peace.

tensions. When we realized, as we re-
Gently did, that Il is within the realn,
of possibility that we shall spend on
our army and navy more money in the
next forty years than Germany will

Promise of Relief
Reduction and limitation of arma-
ments will bring relief, but such action
will solve no real problem, because it
will not eliminate the fundamental
fears that compel armamcnts. as a pa

Senator Borah contented at the Foreign Relations Committee meet ing today, that it's application is just as important as it was then. If the committee does not adopt the reserva- tion it probably will be pressed in the Senate.
 Another objection raised by Senator Borah concerned the withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine. He contented that under the terms of the treaty the United States might find tself under compelling moral obligation to maintain an army on the Rhine for years to come. Administra- tion spokesmen assured him, however. that the troops would be withdrawn immediately upon the exchange of ratification of the treaty-Gazette.
