across to branch of the next tree.
From there he called Boxer all sorts
of names and made fun of him until
the little Bear was so angry he hardly
knew what he was doing. Of course,
he couldn't jump across as Chstterer
had. He was too big to run out on
branch that way, even had he dared
try it. SO there was nothing to do
but to slide down that tree and climb
the next one.
Boxer started down. When he
reached the ground he found Chat

Boxer after him. Around trees and
stumps, this way, that way and the
other way, over logs, behind piles of
brush, Chatterer led Boxer until the
latter was so out of breath he had to
stop.
Chatterer chuckled II guess that

to himself as he ran up tree and

He dropped another cone on Boxer

Hylan Vetoes
Fire and Police
Salary Raises
Legislature Passed Bills to
Embarrass Him, He Says:
Refuses S'to Use Peoples
Money Playing Politics.
City Deficit, His Reason
Action Comes as Shock TO
Men in Service, Who Felt
Increase Was Justified

Mayor Hylan yesterday vetoed the
bill passed by the last Legislature in
creasing the salaries of all first grade
policemen and firemcn from $2,2So to
$1,000 n year. This increase, if ap-
proved by the Mayor, would have cost
the city about $3,O0OOOO "a year. The
Mayor declared that the financial con-
dition of the city at the present time
would not stand the strain. In his
mem moranuum to the Governor return.
ing the bill disapproved the Mayor SAID
that the purpose of the measure was to
embarrass the city administration and
that while it might have been good
politics to have approved the bills he
refused ito play politics with the peo-
ple's money"
The Mayor has already vetoed the
bills raising the salary of the Mayor
and other city officials. The mandatory
legislation which came down from AL
bany to the Mayor amounted to q total
of $17000000, which would have to be
accounted for in next years budget.
So far the Mayor has vetoed all such
measures.
Calls Purpose to Embarrass
"The Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment in the last three years in
creased the salaries of patrolmen from
$1,000 to $2,2S0 a year." said the
Mayor in his memorandum. These
increases, amounting to $3.50, were
granted cheerfully and willingly by
the Board of Estimate without manda-
tory legislation at Albany. The pur-
Mayor and the members Of the city ad-
ministration. The Legislature lnew
that because of mandatory legislation
at Albany in the last two years the
city had reached its constitutional tax
limit The Legislature knew tha, there
was deficit of $4,000, 900 in the
school budget of this year. The Legis-
lature likewise knew that it was re-
sponsible for the deficit in the school
budget and also responsible for the
tremendous Increase in the tax rate
and the precarious condition of our
municipal finances due to mandatory
legislation"
Shock to Service
Joseph j. O'Reily, secretary of the
joint committee of the patrolmen and
nremen, SAID last night that the veto
by the Mayor of the salary bills was
a shock to the members of the two
departments, their families and "the
tens of thousands of citizens who ex-
pected His Honor would recognize the
necessity for the increases for first
grade patrolmen and tiremen."
His Honor is mistaken" said Mr..
y Kelly, when he says the bills were
passed to embarrass his administra-
ton. The patrolmen and tiremen had no
more desire to embarrass him than the
teachers when they appealed to the
Legislature after His Honor had re-
fused to give them relief AS mat
ter Of fact, the policemen aud fremen
had reason to expect favorable de-
clsion from the Board of Estimate last
tall when His Honor ordered the $4,000
salary IN the budget and then cut it
out. 1T was stated at the time that
the city was unable to meet the teach
ers' salaries"

Bedtime Stories
Chatterer Has Fun With Boxer
By Thornton w. Burgess
Who does not fear to take q chance
WHI make the most of circMna-
stance.
--Chatterer the Red Squirrel.

That is Chatterer all over. In all
the Green Forest there is no one who
appears to enjoy mischief SO thor
oughly as does Chatterer the Red
Squirrel. And there is no one more
ready to take a chance when it offers.
1t happened that Chatterer discov-
cred Boxer, the runaway little Bear,
as he rested and planned what he
would do out in the Great World
Chatterer kept quiet until he was
sure that Boxer was alone; that
Mother Bear and Wool oof were
nowhere near. When he was sure of
this, Chatterer guessed just what had
happened. He guessed that Boxer had
run away. You know Chatterer is one
of the sharpest and shrewdest of all
the little people in the Green Forest.
Chatterer grlnned. 81 believe" said
he t. himself, "that that silly little
Bear has run away and is lost. If
he isn't lost he ought to be and Pll
see to it that he is. Yes, sir, I'll see
to it that he is properly lost. This is
my chance to get even for the fright
he and his sister gave me when they
chased me up a tree"
Chatterer once more looked every
where to make sure no one else was
about. Then he lightly jumped over
into the tree under which Boxer was
sitting. He took care to make no
sound. He crept out on limb direct
ly over Boxer and then he dropped a
pine cone.
The pine cone hit Boxer right on
the end of his nose and, because his
nose is rather tender. it hurt. 1t
made the tears come. Then too, it
was SO unexpected it startled Boxer.
"Ouch!" he cried as he sprang to one
side and looked up to see where that
cone had come from.
When he saw Chatterer grinnine
down at him Boxer grew very angry.
That was the same fellow he so
nearly caught once in tree top. This
time he would catch him. Down came
another cone on Boxers head.
Cant catch met Can't catch mel"
taunted Chatterer in the most provok
ing way.
Boxer growled and started up that
tree. Cant catch flea! Can't
catch mel" cried Chatterer gleefullv,
and he looked down at Boxer and
made faces at him.
He waited until Boxer was half
way up that tree, then lightly ran out
to the end of branch and leap,

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

r., GREENWICH, Conn, April 2s-
thomas kearney, of New York, who

home of his uncle, where he was visit
ing, was sentenced to six days in iail
to-day for intoXication, breach of the
peace and willful injury to propry.
Prohibition whisky, with cider for a
chaser, was responsible for the fatal
error, he said. He apologized to Mr..
Whitley with evident sincerity and
asked for clemency, saying that he was
overwhelmed with shame. When a
PRISON sentence was insisted upon and
imposed, his counsel announced that he
would appeal the case.
Mr.. Wilfey said that when Kearnev
broke into his home he had no doubt
that he was burglar and thought that
he had an accomplice outside. Having

twelve unprejudiced jurors only
twenty minutes to agree that
Meyer was not guilty. 1t is the
second prohibition case in Brook

Charges Husband
Is the Father of
Her Sisters Child
PrintManufact1rer's Wife. in
Separation Suit, Says He
Boosted of Relation With
Girl He Watched Grow Up

Mrs. Elizabeth Geese, of 55S East
Twenty-third Street, Brooklyn, has
brought a separation suit in the Su-
preme Court, Brooklyn. against Gus
tav Zeese, naming her own sister, Miss
Amalie Hoffman,, as correspondent.
She alleges that her husband is the
father of her sisters child.
Mrs. Zeese yesterday submitted affi-
davits before Justice MacCrate at q
hearing on her application for alimony
and counsel fees, pending the trial Of
her suit. She asked $500 q month
alimony and $4,000 counsel fees.
The Zeeses were married April 10,
1892, and have four children. Zeese
is head and principal stockholder of
Geese, Wilkinson d Co., manufacturers
OF color prints, Long Island City. His
wife says he is worth $750,0O0 and had
an income Of nearly $4,000 last year.
Geese, in his reply to his wifes atii-
davlts, denied all her charges. He said
that his salary was $4,000 q year, and
that he has been allowing Mrs Zeese
$500 year. He is willing to con-
tInue that arrangement.
Mrs. Geese charges that her sister
has been her husbands intimate for a
number of years; that she is response
Bile Tor his change of attitude toward
her, and that he is now living with her
sister in his "palatial residence" Wild
wood, at Great Neck, l.. |. She SAYS
that her sisters son, Gordon Hall, was
born in June, 1917, and that Geese has
built playground for the child
Mrs. ZpPSp q jlpupc !hat ror Il
first became interested in her sister
when she was child, and in 1910, after
she had reached womanhood, she and
Geese lived together for one year. In
l9ll," says Mrs. Zeese's affidavit "my
husband returned to me and was cruel
and unklnd toward me continuously.
During our married life we have had
seven children, four Of whom are liv-
ing. The change in my husbands atti-
tude toward me was brought about
entirely by my sister"
According to the affidavit, Zeese and
Miss Holman took a jaunt to the
Thousand Islands in 1913 and went to
Bermuda in 1914, registering at \ hotel
as Mr.. and Mrs. eese. Mrs. Geese says
that for some time her husband tl%ed
to conceal the existence of child but
later brazenly boasted of it.
Mrs. Geese charges that at various
times her husband brought her sister
to their home and made no attempt to
conceal his affection for her. Geese
denies that he is the father of Miss
Hofmann's child. He says that in addi-
ton to MISS Hofmann, her three Sis
ters are living with him at Great Neck.

seriously injured yesterday in spec
tacular attempt to stop a runaway horse

as it tore past him, but caught the
rear of the wagon, climbed into it and
over the dashboard to the back of the
horse, which fell with him, but strug-
gled up and continued running.
In his effort to catch the reins which
were flying loose the policeman slipped
