Peter Is Given a Home
By Thornton W. Burgess
In york you'll almost olways find
The 1Cay to ease a troubled mind.
....- Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit spent day and
night prisoner in barrel in Farmer
Browns barn. Some sweet clover was
dropped into it for him to cat. but
Peter didn't touch it. For once in
his life Peter had no appetite. He
was worried, too worried to eat.
day, and night is long time for
such an active little fellow as Peter
Rabbit to be shut up in a place where
ne could do little more than turn
around. He was beginning to wonder
II he was to be kept there always.
when the horses stamped he still
Jumped little, but he had ceased to
be badly frightened. When Farmer
brown and Farmer Browns Bow came
to look in at him his heart beat very
last. But he found that they did not
hurt him, and so after while he
stopped being frightened. He tried
TO gnaw his way out, but the sides of
thaS barrel were not easy to gnaw.
ana at last he gave that up. He
thought of the dear Old Briar-patch
and little Mrs. Peter, and wondered
II she was worrying about him. What

but, finding it was no use, he became
quiet. He was carried outside and
over to the henyard. Just inside tho
henyard was new wire pen. Through
little door in the top Peter was
dropped.
Now, Peter Rabbit" said Farmer
Browns Boy kindly, "we'll keep YOU
out Of mischief for a while. Here is
a, new home for you. hope you'll
like it, so -
With this Farmer Browns Boy put
into the pen some newly cut clover
and few lettuce leaves. Then he went
away. At first Peter crouched in
corner. But as soon as he was left
alone. he started out to explore his
new home. 1t was large pen, In
one corner was box, with a door.

and Smith seized the liquors when they
found in the consignment many bottles
of Vermouth ard Dubonnet.
1--WE are both jewish" said Moe
Smith, "and Izzy is orthodox. We
both know that it is impossible for
Vermouth and Dubonnet to be kosher
1t is not permissible in the Jewish
faith to use such liquors for rabbin-
ical purposes. Kosher rabbinical wine
must be the juice of the grape. Moth
ing else is kosher"
Furthermore" added lizzie Einstein,
when we investigated the congregation
lists of Herschel we found one address
to be that of pork store on Eighth
Avenue-and pork is not kosher. An
other address was found to be in the
middle Of the East River. Still another
alleged member Of one Of. the congre-
cations gave US an affidavit that he
was not customer of Herschel."
1t was held by Attorney Van Buren,
that any rabbi had the right to use any
liquor for rabbinical purposes, and that
the United States government, under
the Constitution, had no right to legis-
late in such a case or to interfere with
the religious freedom of the rabbis or
their accredited agents.
The court put the case over for q
week and asked Attorney Van Buren,
to submit brief covering the inter
esting legal question involved.

Weeks Holds Up
CurtisStatenlent
For w ard Trial
Prosecutor May Use Story
Of Accused Mans Mother
in-Law as Evidence to
Bolster States Charges
Denies Crime knowledge
Defense Counsel Refuses TO
Let Her Appear Before
Morschauser; Mack int

District Attorney Weeks, it was said
last night, will hold in reserve for tho
trial Of Walter S. Ward the statement
obtained by him yesterday from Mrs.
Willard Curtis, mother-in-law Of the
slayer Of Clarence Peters. Though at
torneys for Ward declined to allow
Mrs. Curtis to appear before Justice
Morschauser, she was questioned by
Mr.. Weeks and John f. Mack regarding
her knowledge of the circumstances
which led to the shooting Of Peters.
Lee Parsons Davis, himself a former
district attorney of Westchester Coun-
ty, came into the case as Mrs. Curtis's
attorney. In statement issued by Mr..
Davis after Mrs. Curtis had been ex-
amined, Davis claimed to have nullified
the conspiracy proceedings, at least so
far as Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Beryl
Ward, her daughter, were concerned,
by refusing to permit Mrs. Curtis to
appear before Justice Morschauser. He
said also that subp9nas issued for
Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Ward had been
withdrawn.
Weeks Appears Satisfied
Mr.. Weeks refused to comment on
the Davis statement, but he intimated
plainly that he was satisfied with hav-
Ing obtained the statement from Mrs.
Curtis that she had no knowledge Of
the affair.
AS to Mrs. Ward, it was intimatcd
that she might yet be required to ap-
pear as witness at the conspiracy
L H. ~ T,,1.-
19. Shown Mr.. Davis's statement yes
terday afternoon, Justice Morschauser
said: "That is just another of Daviss
bluffs; we are going right ahead with
the conspiracy investigation" There
are twenty-three subpenas issued for
witnesses to attend the hearing.
Although Mrs. Curtis was questioned
in Mr.. Weeks's Office and without being
required to take an oath, Mrs. Ward
was not. Mr.. Davis first asked that
both women be questioned unofficially.
When Mr.. Weeks refused this Mr..
Davis told him that he would instruct
tions, asserting that the entire pro-
ceeding was illegal. Mr.. Davis ADDED
that Mrs. Curtis had not at any time
been in hiding, but had been living with
her daughter in New Rochelle, where
she could be reached easily.
Mack Enters Cool
Mr.. Mack came officially into the case
yesterday for the first time. 1t was
reported weeks ago that Mr.. Mack had
been retained to assist in the prosecu-
ton. This was confirmed by Mr..
Weeks, who said: "The other side has
a great array of legal talent, and two
heads are always better than one.
Therefore have asked Mr.. Mack to
come in. 1t is hardly necessary for me
to add that l have the fullest conf
dence in him"
Mr.. Mack assisted in the cross-exami-
nation Of Mrs. Curtis, which elected
nothing of Importance. She admitted
having been in the Ward home on the
night that Peters was shot, but as
serted that she had not seen Ward that
evening and that she had no knowl-
edge of any matter connected with the
affair. She specifically denied know
ing anything Of the blackmail plot,
which the defense alleges led up to the
shooting.

Interrupts Battle i'm Street
Raid of Bootleggers' Ring
ON Territory of Spanish
Rivals Blamed for Clash

A sudden outburst Of pistol shots in
Downing Street, near Bedford Street,
brought Patrolman William T. Ken
uedy, of the Charles Street police sta
ton, to the scene on run last night.
Men, women and children were sour
rying for shelter. A group Of four men
stood on each side Of the street, firing
revolvers or automatics at each other
as fast as they could feed cartridges
INTO the chambers.
Two Fire at Policeman
Kennedy dashed between the two
Gangs, and six of them fed at sight of
his uniform. The two others, who
still had a few bullets left, stood their
round and fired at the policeman. He
fred twice at the first to open FIRE on
sim, and seized him as he was about
10 fall.
Holding his prisoner upright in front
+ him as a shield, Kenndy turned and
,'red at his companion, at the same
lime ordering him to surrender or take
the consequences. The man dropped
Lis revolver and reinforcements ar
irving from the Charles Street police
,tation found Kennedy in undisputed
possession Of the field.
His first prisoner was unconscious
and his clothing soaked in blood. A
ocrsory examination failed to reveal
bullet wound, however, and ne was
taken to Bellevue Hospital He is an
italian, about thirty-three years old.
His companion, also an Italian, said
&c was Vincenzo Birgudia, Of $50 East
eleventh Street. He was locked up at
'hc Charles Street police station,
charged with felonious assault and vio-
iation of the Sullivan law.
Spanish-Made Pistols Found
He refused to discuss the street
battle. His revolver and that dropped
by his companion, contained only dis
charged shells. Two more revolvers
AID two automatic pistols Of Spanish
manufacture were found in the vicinity.
The police believe that the men, gun
men for an East Side ring Of boot
leggers, raided the territory of Spanish
bootleggers on the West Side and the
battle resulted.

Taxi Driver Held in Test
Case Affecting 1000 Men
Vialafes Bonding Law on Ban.
toms Consent So Court Can
Rule ON LEGISLATION

To test the constitutionality of the
new taxi bonding law, Charles Martin,
chauffeur and the towner of taxi
cab, deliberately violated the new law
yesterday and was arrested by ar
rangement between Representatives Of
1000 taxi drivers and District Attor-
ney Banton. Martin waived examina-
tion and was held in $500 bail.
Mr. Banton said that to make a COM
plete test Of the new law the case
would be taken through the courts to
the Court Of Appeals as soon as posi-
BILE. He pointed out that he was tax
ing this action not because he thought
the law was unconstitutional but for
the purpose Of giving taxi owners a
fair test so that there might be no
question regarding the act.

pen.
Peter tried the wire with his teeth
He did it only once. That once wa.
enough. He couldn't cut that wire
and ne knew it, Then he went over
TO corner of the pen and began to
dig. Farmer Browns Boy thinks he
can keep me a prisoner, but III fool
nim' said Peter to himself "I1l Just
dig down underneath this wire. and
then up outside. Then I'll be free.D
Peter felt better. He felt sure that
ne could escape. 1t meant a little
hard work, but what was hard work
compared with freedom? The hens
gathered around and rudely stared at
him through the wire. Peter didn't
care. He had only one thought. and
that was TO get out and away. He
paid no attention to the hens. He
kept right on with his digging. He
meant to get out Of there Just as soon
as he possibly could. He didn't like
digging. He never had been fond Of
digging. You know, Peter doesn't
IKE to work. But freedom would be
worth much more than the work Of
digging hole, so Peter dug. and
while he dug he was almost happy.
