Ciues Police Reign of Terror
Trouble Begins When Amazed Patrolman Sees
Auto Van Turn Into Coeduca1ional Bath
house and Pinches 1t, Clothes and All


dressing rooms of the van taken into
the station house.
Two hours later Lieutenant Feldman,
who had almost forgotten the incident,
looked up to see ten irate and dripping
bathers lined up before him at the sta
ton desk. "Where's our clothes and
where's our bathhouse?" they demand
ed in chorus. We've been looking all
over the beach and they finally told
us it was here at the station"
"Your clothing" said the lieutenant
pointing with his pen across the room
to knotted bundle of clothing, dis
over there; but you, cant dress in the
van; it's against the law" Turning
to patroman he said: "Show these
people into the back room When the
men get their clothing they can go
upstairs and dress"
A veteran bathhouse proprietor could
not have handled the situation more
expeditiously. Two minutes later Lieu
tenant Feldman felt that he had made
a misstep somewhere. From the rear
room came sounds of battle royal and
the station echoed with shouts pro-
claiming of some garment and such re-
torts as ooh, you fibber, Mabel, you
never owned a pink one!"
Situation Beyond Control
A moment later a whitefaced patrol
man sidled up TO Lieutenant Feldman's
desk and whispered. "s'elp me, lieuten-
ant. they're tightin' over that roll of
clothin' and l can't do thing with
'em."
Get them back into the van, and
get them there quick before my station
is wrecked" ordered the lieutenant.
II don't care how they're dressed"
After ten minutes of hard work In
which large part of the reserve force
at the station was employed, the last
bather was back in the van and Lieu
tenant Feldman had his first oppor-
tunity to announce that there's many

Peter Rabbit.

For quite while Peter Rabbit sat
on the bank of the Smiling Pool
watching Grandfather Frog lead the
Frog chorus. Peter had come over
there hoping to find it cooler there
than IN the dear Old Birar-patch
! hen had come an adventure with
Longlegs the Heron as the result of
having saved the life of Grandfather
frog, and he had had to run and
dodge and twist and turn to escape
from the anger of Longlegs. So Peter
was feeling the heat more than ever
when finally he had chance to sit
down in peace.
But somehow just looking at the
water made him feel cooler and after
q little time some of the Merry Little
breezes of Old Mother West Wind
discovered Peter and how hot he was
ana they took turns in gently blow
Ing on him until at last he no longer
enVled Grandfather Frog and the
other little people who are good
SWIMMERS and delight to spend much
OF their time in the water.
AT last 1t came time for Old Mother

Breezes into her great bag and take
them to their home behind the Purple
Hills. Peter didn't like to have them
go, but he knew they must.
There has been an accident on
the edge of the swamp down the
Laughing Brook toward the Big
River" whispered one of the Merry
Little Breezes in one of Peters long
ears.
Peter pricked up both long ears
What kind of an accident ?" he de-
manded.
"Sh-h-h! 1t would never do for i,

When nearly third of the seasons
record crowd of more than 500 900 per-
sons visited Coney Island yesterday at
tempted to so in bathing troubles and
complications began to develop for the
resorts two newest and least expert
enced bathhouse operators, Jacob
Sender, forty-two years old of S17 East
la1st Street, and Police Lieutenant
Fred Feldman, assigned to desk duty in
the Concy Island station.
Patrolman Harry Whitlaw, Of the
Coney Island station. who was indi-
rectly responsible for launching Lieu
tenant Feldman on his short but hectic
career in the bathhouse business, was
patroling Brighton Beach in the after
noon, when he came to a large auto
mobile van parked in the sand. Auto
mobiles had come to Whtlaw's native
town before he came to Brooklyn, but
this was the first one which he had
seen that took in men and women
dressed in civilian clothes at one end
and turned out steady stream of natty
bathers at the other.
When the sixth woman and the fourth
man, according to the patrolman's
count, had left the rear of the van and
tripped down the beach to meet the
sea. Whitlaw moved around to the
front of the machine, where found
Sender seated in the drivers seat.
Arrests Clothes and All
When Sender refused to accept a
summons to explain in court just how
his bather-producing van operated
man climbed to the seat beside Sender
and ordered him to drive to the Coney
Island station.
At the station Sender was charged
with disorderly conduct. After exam

Hotel Thief Caught
After Departing
By Window Led &c
Victim Waits Until Intruder
Returns TO Room Next
Door and Gives Alarm:
Court Allows Him Sis

John E. Clarke, of Chicago, the rep
resentative of a chocolate manufacture
ing concern. was awakened early yes
terday morning by sounds as of some
one moving about in his room in the
Hotel Normandie, Thirty-eighth Street
and Broadway. He cautiously opened
his eyes and saw man clad only in
his underwear busily engaged in ran
sacking his belongings.
Being a small man, Clarke held his
breath and stayed where he was. He
watched his unlimited guest go through
his pockets and then depart by way of
the window. When he had gone Clarke
called the manager of the hotel. The
manager called the West Thirtieth
Patrolmen Daniel Breen and Michael
Crowley presented themselves at the
hotel.
Clarke told them that the man had
climbed along the ledge outside the
window and had entered one of the
rooms on the same floor with him. The
patrolmen started a search that ended
with the first room they tried
1t was the room next to Clarke's, and
its occupant, who later described him
self as Spanish gentleman named
Peter Martin, raised himself languidly
on one elbow and inquired what all the
racket was about. The policemen told
him and began a search of the room
According to Breen they found
Clarke's wallet tucked away between
two books above the folding bed.
The discovery did not seem to
bother Martin in the least, and when
Clarke mentioned that some of the
money was missing from the wallet
Martin quite nonchalantly advised him
to look in the telephone book. Breen
says a $40 note was found between the
pages of the book.
Martin was requested to dress and
pass the remainder of the night in the
police station. He was arraigned later
in Jefferson Market court on q charge

the League of Nations saying article 2
of the new treaty is a much surer guar

The world at last is returning to common
sense. Great Britain will be immensely
benefited by the treaty while Holland also
will gain through it, declared the Daily

the bond between Great Britain and Jap

Of closer and definite cooperation with the
United States, saying it would cores
