WANTS BILLBOARD
ON MUSEUM OF ART
Auto Concern Would Make 1t
Artistic and. Include City
Official Portrait.

One of the most extraordinary re-
quests that have been made of an Of
ficial of the city of New York was re-
ceived yesterday in his morning mail
by Francis d. Gallatin, Commissioner
of Parks. 1t was contained in letter
from the attorney for an automobile
company asking permission to use the
west wall of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art for the purpose of advertising
by means of a gigantic painting the
car manufactured by this concern.
The automobile company proposes to
engage an artist of high ability to de-
pict a landscape through the center
Of which would run a highway. Ihe
companys car, with the name OF It's
make in large letters. would appear
upon the road. 1t is further proposed
that "for educational purposes at least
one of the occupants of the car should
be a prominent city official ana that
the Commissioner might be induced to
pose himself.
Henry r. Marshall, secretary of the
Municipal Art Commission, to whom the
letter was referred by Commissioner
Gallatin. said last night that he could
not believe the proposal had been
seriously made.
The letter was signed by Clarice Mar
golies Baright, an attorney at ltV
Broadway. The artistic wave which is
sweeping over this city," she writes,
''inspred no doubt by the recent depar-
ture from gross commercialism and the
adoption of a high standard OF munici-
pal art, exemplified by the recent statue
dedicated to civic virtue, is undoubtedly
having the precise effect upon the pusl-
ness man of the city that similar artis-
tic developments had upon the populace
of ancient Greece.
every public spirited citizen is now
striving to make New York the city
beautiful and therefore as the Nestor
of civic art in parks and plazas I sub

A series of threats from the Black
"A boy in Hoboken and his subsequent
release as a warning to his father to
keep his nose out of other people S
affairs" has caused Italians to fear
n recurrence of Black Hand activities
such as resulted in the kidnapping and
murder Of five-year- r-old Giuseppe Va
rotta last year.
The messages to the families in Ho-

calabrese told of having received a
letter demanding 5000 and threatening
leath If the money was not delivered.
Friday night Cuecillo sent his son.
James. aged 4, to a store near his home.
The boy did not come back The par

lnd began a search. Early yesterday
bominick Savino, an ice dealer at 915
Clinton street, Hoboken, found the boy
asleep and unharmed on the steps OF
the ice cellar. Savino took the boy to
a police station and he later was re-
ytored to his family.
James, not fully comprehending what
all the excitement was about, was tell
ing his father and mother of how a
strange man met him on the street
and promised him candy. They walked
block and the man picked him up
and put him into an automobile. James
said that he had fallen asleep, and
the next he knew was when Savino
picked him up from The cold steps OF

The boy was finishing his tory when

Volstead Agents Smash Safe
i'm Ninth Avenue to Get Four
Bottles of Booze.

Police, seeking to enforce the State
dry law, may seize liquor wherever
they find it whether they have a search
warrant or lack one. provided the
promises is not a private dwelling If
they find that booze is being sold or
public place the police are within the
law if they search the place for the
stuff and confscate it, search warrant
or no search warrant. But they may
rot search a person or premises or
vehicle that they merely suspect un-
less they have the much discussed
search warrant.
This. briefly, is the advice of Judge
Grand Jury. Judge Mott forwarded this
opinion to the jury at the latter's re-
quest. A copy was sent to each of the
City Magistrates in New York county,
too. 1t reads:
"Officers are justified in seizing liquor
wherever found, without search. save in
private dwellings,. Thus, if liquor be
found openly on truck. or being carried
from or to truck, or be found without
search in a saloon, restaurant or other
place, save a dwelling, seizure is law
full without warrant.
''If lawful arrest be made of one
found in unlawful possession of liquor
then the premises or vehicle may be
searched for further liquor and a seiz-
ure without warrant is lawful. Thus,
one found serving liquor unlawfully in a
saloon or restaurant can be lawfully
arrested and a further search of the
premises is lawful without warrant
1T is unlawful to make without war
rant a search of person, premises or n
vehicle merely for the purpose of as
certaning If liquor is in possession,
where, without the search, there is no
evidence Of such possession and no law
full arrest had been made thus officers
have no right to go into restaurant or
other place where there is no evidence
apparent and demand to search the
premises without a warrant in order to
ascertain If liquor Is unlawfully pos
sessed.''

with eager eyes. Time and time again
the entire crew volunteered to board
the dangerous looking ship hove to un-
der command, come what might. But
always the lucky crew of the captain s
gig returned to their ship empty handed.
Most of the ships halted were sailing
from Bermuda or Havana to Canada. and
70 shippers ventured to question the
authority Of the one FOUNDER on the
