John Hansen, 7, Trapped
When He Tried to Rescue
Injured Animal.

Hugging a small dog to his breast
that both might be kept the warmer,
seven-year -old John Hansen Of Cliff
side. N. j., was found to-day IN a
newly dug grave in Cliffside Gene
terry. Both boy and dog had been in
the grave all night long and were
nearly frozen from their exposure.
1t was James Bovine. caretaker Of
the cemetery, who found them in the
course Of his patrol of the grounds. 1t
took him to the grave because this
had been prepared for use to-day and
Bovine wanted to make sure 1t was
ready.
The grave was bit more than six
feet deep and neither boy nor dog
could have got out Of 1t without aid,
especially the dog. which had injured
its leg, apparently by falling in.
Bovine lowered a rope into the
grave, told the youngster to catch the
dog in his arms, and thus they were
drawn part way up. The caretaker
then reached down and drew both to
the surface.
Little John is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Hansen of No. 322 Palisade
Avenue. When he failed to come
home last evening his parents went
to the police and reported his alb
sence. They thought he had gone
off somewhere with a gang of boys
When they noted the absence of the
family's pet dog, they thought the
pet was with the boy.
What happened was that the dog,
playing about with the boy, ran off
and fell into the grave. Little John,
eventually finding his pet, tried first
to get 1t out by calling, but as the
injured dog could not scale the per-
pendicular sides OF the grave, John
jumped in after 1t.
That imprisoned both Of them, and
in a short time little John knew that
he must wait until some one came to
release them.
AS soon as Bovine got them out,
little John still holding fast 10 his pet,
was hurried home and put to bed.

SHEARN DECLARES
GROVER WHALENIS
BUS BIG CHIEF"
Named by Transit Counsel as
Man Hinted AT in $4,000
"Shakedown."
DESERTS SCENT FARE.
Operator TeStifieS CorRaliS-
sioner Sends Vehicles to
Help Out Busy Days.

Clarence ]. Shearn. counsel for the
Transit Commission in the bus inves-
tigation, declares that Grover Wha-
len, Commissioner of Plants and
Structures. is the big Chief of the
bus business. He also says that Louis
Ried:. who testified that he had been
asked to put up s25, 900 for bus
franchise, has been shadowed by de-
tectives.
Ferdinand w. Frankenberg. a gar
age owner and President of the West
Farms Bus Corporation, operating
seven buses in the Bronx told at the
hearing yesterday how, although he
had put up all the money and does
all the work, he gives two-thirds Of
his profits to Christian Brochard Of
No. 1850 Zarega Avenue. the Bronx,
and one time deputy sheriff of that
county, and Louis Karsch of Mount
Vernon, N. Y.
Thomas H. O'Neill, Tammany dis
trict leader of the Bronx, and an Un-
der sheriff Of that County. used his
influence with Commissioner Whalen
to get him the permit for the bus line,
Frankenberg admitted. but did not
share in the profits.
One of the interesting features of
the testimony Of Frankenberg was the
revelation that here, at least, is one
bus line under city supervision that is
not run on a scent fare-the favor
ite slogan of the Hylan Administra-
ton.
In an order dated Aug. z5, 1922,
Commissioner Whalen told Franken-
berg that thereafter he must split his
route of seven and one half miles into
two zones. 10 cents Icing the fare for
each zone. Hitherto, under permit
granted by Mr. Whalen. Frankenberg
had been charging 20 cents a passen-
ger. no matter how short the distance
he might ride.
The link between the West Farms
Bus Corporation and the Sheriff 5 Of
Ace OF the Bronx. in which O'Neill
is employed, was made firm by the
testimony of Frankenberg. He testi-
fed that in addition to Under Sheriff
O'Nelll's obtaining the permit for him
and former Deputy Sheriff Brochard
being Treasurer Of the concern. Will
lam A. Keating. counsel to the Sheriff
Of Bronx County. drew up the papers
of Incorporation for the company.
II was in connection with Franken-
berg's testimony about the fare
charged by his buses that Judge
Shearn took a fling at Grover Whalen,
clubbing him ''the Big Chief of this
bus business"
by resorting to this device of get
ting a permit from a department that
has no authority TO issue permits,
these people are able to get the con-
sent of the Big Chief Of this bus
business to charge a fare OF 20 cents, "
Judge Shearn told the commission.

Ralph A. Day, former Prohibition

by United States Judge Knox to dem

'Mr. Clark seems to think Day is

''saying that Day told him personally
he would not bring the books. Mr..
Day has never been before the Grand

that it was physically impossible to

MRS. HALL CANCELS
INTERVIEW FEE"
PAYS BILL HERSELF
Reporters Not Asked for SIS
Each for Stenographic
Report.
(By a Special Correspondent Of The
Evening Worldly

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. 1.
After demanding approximately
$3.50 from seventeen reporters to de-
fray the expenses of stenographically
reporting an interview with Mrs.
Frances N. Hall, her counsel in the
investigation of the murders OF her
husband and Mrs Mills heard the
payment OF SIS each by the reporters
was being jokngly spoken OF as an
admission fee.
Mr.. Pfeiffer hurried into the Hall
home and came out again to say that
Mrs. Hall insisted on paying the
stenographer's fees herself and the
chairman of the reporters committee
had to busy himself with paying back
the money he had collected from his
colleagues.
A manifold record was made by
relays OF stenograDhers and type
writer's for tho newspaper men. It
was further stipulated that all ques-
tions must be submitted In writing
to Mr.. Pfeiffer before they were put
to Mrs. Hall.
The hour set for the beginning OF
the interview was half past 1
o'clock and at that hour the SIS ticket
holders to the coming battle of wits
were wrangling with Mr.. Pfeiffer as
to the nature OF the questions which
they could ask for their money. Then
II was returned to them.
Each reporter participating was
obliged to pledge himself not TO leave
the Hall home or go to a telephone in
the Hall home until the last take"
of the last of the relayed stenog-
raphers was put in his hand. This
was partly to protect the news
gatherers from being beaten" and
partly TO protect Mrs. Hall from any
injustice which would come of only
part of her answers being pub
lIshed without the light which later
questions and answers might throw on
them.

Uses Mans Coat to Smother
Flames, Then Questions
Suspect.

PatroIman Ryan OF tho Bronx Park
Station saw flames issuing from the
front hall of a three-story frame tene-
ment at No. 3167 Jerome Avenue early
this morning. At the same time he
saw a man walking away from the
building
"stop!" Ryan ordered. "Give me
your coat"
He used the mans coat to beat out
the fire, which had attacked the stair
way. Residents of the tenement helped
extinguish the fire while still others
guarded the prisoner. At first II was
suspected that the prisoner. who said
he was Joseph Prestomonaci, home
less, might have started the fire and
might know something about other
recent tenement fires in which lives
we're lost.
When Prestomonaci was questioned
by Fire Department officials he told a
straightforward story which police are
inclined to believe. These chilly
nights. he said. he has slept in various

threw away the lighted butt.
There was a milk bottle In the
hallway containing a little kerosens
and police said there was an odor OF
kerosene on the prisoners clothing.
Prompt action by Patrolman Ryan
prevented a more serious fire.
Prestomonaci waived examination
when arraigned this afternoon before
Magistrate McAndrews in West Farms
Court charged with arson. and in de-
fault Of $4,000 bail was sent to the
Bronx County Jail.

FRANCES DEMANDS
PENALTIES" SAYS
MARY LOCKE HURIN

American policies, new Central Eu-
ropean states. the premiers confer
ence, and other national and interna-
tional topics we're reviewed by Mary
Locke Hurin in her Current Events
address before the Civics department
of the Woman's club Tuesday after
noon at the First English Lutheran
church.
Our country's policies as outlined In
the presidents message to congress
were passed over briefly by the
speaker.
The law of exchange and econom-
les takes no account of guilt or limo
cence," Mrs. Hurin declared in dis
cussing Germany's condition and pos
sibility of another moratorium in jan
uary. Frances demands, she said are
not guarantees" put penalties.
French exploitation of the Ruhr, she
continued, would result in great
triumph for a time but it would be
temporary. France In taking the Ruhr
would acquire all the metallurglc and
coal resources of Germany which
would be crushing blow to that coun-
try. The breakdown of the premier3'
conference in London is partly due to
this question as not even Bonar Law
feels that he can side with the French
in this matter.
The premieTs are 50 at variance that
the Brussels conference would as yet
be useless. Lloyd George, the speak
er commented, is laughing up his
sleeve in the meantime because Bonar
Laws conservative policy is getting
no further than he with his Liberal
policy.
Jugo-Slavia. Czecho Slovakia, and
Roumania were discussed in connec
tion with their little entente treaty and
the conditions and cituations which
they were presenting. The people oil
the first two countries which were 81
oppressed by the German magyars
have made great advances educa
tionally.
