Cotton Goods Firm
AS Raw Fiber Drops
Higher Prices Quoted on Under
wear; Staple Fabric
Makers Waiting

The slip-back in raw cotton prices
yesterday had little or no effect upon
the prices of cotton goods, which in
the unfinished state were quoted as
high as they were last week. Some
brokers reported that print cloths and
other constructions of gray goods were
hard to get at prevailing market prices
and that many orders received during
the day were untitled because of the
unwillingncss of the mills to accept
the market price for their goods.
Some underwear sales agents who
withdrew quotations last week replaced
them yesterday with slightly higher
prices.
The sensational rise in raw cotton
and gray goods, according to promi-
nent converter, has not stimulated the
demand for finished fabrics. "The vol
ume of business" he said, "is not
larger than it was before the price
rise. The cutting up trades are not
interested in prices of cotton goods
since their own products the finished
garments, are moving slowly"
Manufacturers of percaies and other
finished goods which follow gray goods
prices closely are loath to announce
new prices, feeling, some of them say
that the market is not stabilized at
present. 1t is conceded, however, that
new prices on most of the staple cot
ton goods will be higher than the last
prices named

children. They encountered Antonio
Scinto and recognized him as suspect.
The detectives were wary, because DR..
Carleton Simon, head of the police
narcotic division, had received anony
NOUS communications announcing that
any detectives making arrests in the
districts would be killed.
Meisenzahl approached Scinto and
says he purchased deck Of cocaine.
He placed him under arrest and Kirey
came up. Scinto began to cry in ltal-
ian for help and the street filed with
a pulling and pushing throng.
Rocks, sticks of wood and. empty
bottles soon began to fly. The de-
tectives threatened to shoot, and as
they did so several noiseless shots were
fired from the mob. More than one
missile struck the prisoner and he fell
with Meisenzahl still holding to his
shirt collar. Two of the bullets struck
Kirley, and he staggered, but continued
fighting off the crowd before he fell
Scinto was taken to headquarters
after the reserves arrived, and thence
to St Vincent's Hospital, where his

Girl Cheats Ellis Island
BY Starving Self Free
Slips Sister I'm, Dressed in Her
Clothes, and Hunger Strikes
Her Own Way Out

Stephania Wontropska, who has been
on a hunger strike ever since she was
arrested at Ellis Island three days ago,
had a squire meal last night at her own
home. Physicians reported that her
condition was so serious when she was
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Hitchcock that he paroled
her in the custody of her attorney in
stead of sending her to Bellevue Hos
pital under bail.
Stephania was arrested because she
had embed her sister from Warsaw to
enter the United States after Poland's
quota of immigrants had passed the
immigration barriers. Stepharia's sis
ter was doomed to deportation Ste
phania got pass and went to Ellis
island to visit her. The young woman
who departed with tho pass, clad in
Stephania's clothes, was not Stephania
but her sister. Stephana's sister has
not been seen since. When the ruse
was discovered Stephania was arrested,
a procedure which seemed to her so
unjust that she declared hunger strike
forthwith.

Fitzpatrick Is
Believed Slain
From Ambush
Drug Raider Murdered i'm
Pier Washroom After
Ship Battle and Not
a Suicide, Officials Say
Two Bullets Discovered
Investigators Think One,
at Least, Was From Gun
Of Lurking Assailant

New evidence unearthed yesterday
by the government Narcotic Division
is said to indicate strongly that Frank
j. Fitzpatrick, government narcotic de-
tective, was murdered in a washroom
on the Atlantic Avenue pier in Brook
lyn, following the sensational drug and
liquor raid on the Grecian liner King
Alexander last Friday morning. The
first theory of suicide, advanced be-
cause of Fitzpatrick's i'll health, does
not hold in the light of new circum-
day.
Colonel o. G.. Forrcr, Commissioner
Of Narcotics, who came on from Wash
ington to conduct the investigation into
the death of Fitzpatrick, said: 81 am
under orders from Washington not to
divulge any information until this in
vestigation is completed. That may
not be for several days"
Colonel Forrer had just finished tax
ing long stenographic statement from
new witness, regarded as important.
Two Shots Fired
Wallace d. J. Collins, United States
District Attorney. who conducted per
sonal investigation of the King Alex
ander affair, said: 81 do not believe
Fitzpatrick committed suicide. The
murder theory in the case is being
thoroughly investigated. You will re-
member that two shots were heard
after Fitzpatrick entered the wash
room. Only one bullet was found in
Fitzpatricks body. This bullet pene-
trated his heart. He could not have
fired q second shot. One bullet was
found Embedded in the wall and the
other pierced his heart. That he fired
a shot into the wall first is not likely.
There is q window in the washroom,
and the shot which killed Fitzpatrick
might have been fired through this
window
1t is said that Colonel Forrer, after
talking to Mr.. Collins, began to incline
to the murder theory yesterday The
shot in the wall apparently was fired
angle to Fitzpatrick's gun. 1t is also
known that the pier was alive with
persons who had good reason to fear

Granddaughter of Late Mrs.
Roxy Smith Claims This
for Not Telling of Uncle's
Marriage to Opera Singer
To Split $3.50, She Says
Asks Receiver for Estate
and Injunction When He
Refuses TO Divide Millions

Justice Lydon yesterday reserved de-
cision on the application Of Mrs Bca-
trice Provost Nugent for the appoint
meut of n receiver for the property Of
her late grandmother, Mrs. Roxy M.
Smith, who left an estate Of $6,000,000.
Mrs Nugent, who is contesting the will
of Mrs. Smith in the Surrogates' Court,
alleges that she and her uncle had an
agreement to divide whatever the testa-
trix left them in her will.
This document created trust fund
of 100000 for the granddaughter and
left to Mr.. Smith, the son. about $4,-
100000. Mr. Smith married Claire
Staley, an opera singer with the
Chicago Opera Company, without the
knowledge of his mother, although his
niece, Mrs. Nugent, knew of the mar
riage.
In making the alleged agreement with
him to divide whatever they received
under the will of Mrs. Smith, Mrs
Nugent also agreed, she said, to keep
the marriage OF her uncle a secret
She now asks that Mr.. Smith live up
to the terms of their pact.
Also Asks Injunction
Besides asking receivership, Mrs
Nugent petitioned the court for an in
junction restraining her uncle or his
wife from removing any securities or
mortgages belonging to the estate from
safe deposit vaults. Henry Beekman
counsel for Mrs. Nugent, argued that
the receivership and injunction were
necessary to protect his client from
damage without the possibility of re-
dress. Mr. Beekman said that notwith-
standing the agreement with his niece
Mr.. Smith transferred to his bride
mortgages valued at $500, 900 and Mrs
Smith brought replevin proceeding tc
obtain these mortgages from the Amer
lean Trust Company. Counsel for Mrs
Nugent obtained an order enjoinine

Automatic pistols, equipped with 81
lencers, were used by a score of re-
puted ganesters in riot that resulted
from an arrest in Mott Street, at the
edge of Chinatown, yesterday after
noon. Charles Meizenzahl, of the mar
cotic squad, held mob of three hun
dred excited residents of tho quarter
at bay with drawn revolver, while
clinging to prisoner with his other
hand. At his feet lay Detective Pat
rick J.. Kirlcy, who had been shot twice
in the head, but was still fighting. The
prisoner, too, was injured.
Reserves arrived from the Elizabeth
Street station, in response to riot
call, and put down the disturbance. At
st. Vincent's Hospital, where Kirley
was taken, DR.. Miceli found two wounds
at the base of the brain. Both bullets
had glanced off, but one had fractured
Kirley's skull. His condition is serious.

for youths suspected Of vending CO.

preme Court justice doesn't know all
the law one of our agents has to
apply"
Mr.. Brennan's statement followed the
announcement by the Attorney General
Saturday that instruction of this kind
would be given to all new members of
the force and to many oldtimers. The
laws of search and arrest, the rudi
ments of evidence and the preparation
of cases for prosecution will be among
the subjects. Emphasis will be laid
rights of citizens. Mr.. Brennan de-
clared yeterday that one of the main
objects of the school will be to prevent
further infringement of those rights.
New Methods Prepared
William j. Burns, chief of the bu-
reau, commented on the system as
merely the first Of many new steps to
do away with the hit-or-miss methods
which, he declared, have heretofore
prevailed.
eve are going to teach our men to
investigation, making discoveries only
by chance, is going to stop. And men
who cannot be taught to be effective
will be dropped
Federal Investigators are going to
learn right away that they are not to
fash their shields for their own
amusement; and they are going to
learn that the real object of this bu-
reau is to protect citizens and to pre-
vent crime, not just to arrest crooks.
We are not going to set the world afre,
but we are going to give this country
a detective service of which its citizens
can be as proud as the English are of
Scotland Yard"
One of the most important functions
of the school, Mr. Brennan said. viii
be to enable the department chiefs to
sending them out on nvestigations
Each recruit will spend month in the
office studying before he is put on act
i've duty.
"Otherwise he would be helpless
when ne started out" said the division
superintendent. "If without training
he were sent out to investigate a bank
robbery, he would not even know where
proceed with a search without getting
into legal difficulties. He would not
know where the state and Federal
Jurisdictions overlapped.
"That last is one of the most COM
plicated points of all. For example, a
robbery on Park Row is matter for
the state authorities, but a robbery
twenty feet away in the postoffice is
up to us. Ordinarily safe breaking in
national bank is state offense, but
if there is collusion between the actual
thief and one Of the bank employees
the Department Of Justice takes up the
case.

and Mrs. Smith were about to go
abroad.
In opposing the motion Of Mrs. Nu-
gent yesterday, Mr.. Smith submitted an
affidavit in which he said that his
mother was opposed to the marriage OF
Mrs. Nugent, and that In talking about
the affairs OF her estate Mrs. Roxy
Smith said 1t might be mistake to
let her granddaughter have too much
money. because it might be squandercd.
Repudiatcs Agreement
Mr.. Smith, referring to the fifty-hfty
agreement with his niece, said that he
signed it without consulting an attor-
ney and that Mrs. Nugent and her at
torney refused to delay the signing
until he could do so. He now repu-
dates the agreement. Mr.. Smith also
said that his mother was informed of
his marriage long before lex death.
Counsel for Mr.. Smith opposed the
move for a receivcrship and an injunc-
tion, saying there was no need OF
either, as no interests OF Mrs. Nugent
