Tugboat Grew Leaps
From Sinking Craft
Pumps Unable to Handle Water
Which Is Filling Holds;
Raised From Shadows

The tugboat Francis j. Reichert, be-
longing to the J. c. Reichert Towing
Company, Of 85 Commercial Street,
Greenpoint, which sank yesterday at
the foot Of Pier 8, East River, was
raised late in the afternoon by the
Merritt g. Chapman Wrecking Com
pany.
The boat, leaking badly. was steered
into the slip between Piers s and 8, at
Coentiss Slip, early in the after
noon and went down in the shallow
water at the land end Of the slip after
her crew of five had scrambled to
Reichert, which had come to the as
sistance of the disabled craft.
While the Francis J. Reichert was
steaming into Pier 6, East River. to
pick UP tow, Engineer j.. Huntley
notified the tugs commander, Captain
Henry ReIehert, that more water was
coming into the hold than the pumps
could handle. Word was sent ashore
and the Frederick Reichert was mott
fed by telephone to come to the rescue
Of the sinking boat.
Captain Reichert then headed his
boat for the only shallow water avail
able, which he entered despite pro-
tests shouted from Pier 9, where those
in charge implored him not to let his
tug sink there, as the Munson Line
had a boat coming Into the slip and
it was feared that the sunken tugboat
piled that he was sorry, but that he
was doing the best he could under ad-
verse circums stances and continued on
his course. The wrecking company

Detectives Hunt for
Three Maiden Lane
Jewell'y Robbers
Bandits Hold Up Store Pro-
prietors and Escape With
Gems Valued at $15,OOO
While Police Patrol Street

Detectives are searching for three
bandits who are said by the proprietors
of the Modern Jewelry Company, occu-
pying part of the third floor of Al and
43 Maiden Lane, to have robbed their
store yesterday of diamonds and other
jewelry valued at from $4,000 to
$4,000.
John Traponi and Joseph Macario,
the owners, were in the store alone
shortly after 9 o'clock in the morning
when two men entered and asked to
look at diamond rings. Traponi, who
was behind the counter, said he turned
around to open a safe containing gems
and when he brought out tray OF
rings he faced a revolver.
Macario also was covered, he said
and the merchants were backed into a
small Office at the rear of the store
while third man looted the show
cases. They left within a few min
utes, Traponi declared.
An Office boy, who was sent on an
errand at 9 o'clock, returned fifteen
minutes later and said he found the
partners very excited, one of them
being on the verge Of fainting. De-
tectives were called in and began an
investigation Immediately.
Occupants of the other Offices in the
building told the detectives that they
heard no 'commotion, nor. did they see
airy men go in, and out of the Offices
occupied by the Modern Jewelry Com
rany. There were numerous detectives
stationed in Maiden Lane at the time.
Traponi and Macario said that the
bandits appeared to be foreigners, and
probably made their entrance and exit
by means Of the stairway. The ele-
vator operator said he did not take up
a trio answering their description.
The partners said that the jewelry
was insured with Lloyds, Of London.

Hylan Wants Government
To Prevent Oil Pollution
Urges Federal Laws to End
Menace to Waterfronts;
Bills Before Congress

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. .1o.-Mayor
Hylan of New York, in letter to the
conference on oil pollution of navi-
gable waters, which opened to-day at
the Traymore Hotel, declared that the
offenses should come under Federal
jurisdiction. e~suggested heavy pen
alties with Jail sentences for offenders.
Il quite agree with you," the Mayor
wrote, "that the entire Atlantic sea-
board should rive every support to the
proposed Federal legislation to end this
menace. An apparent lack Of adequate
facilities seems to prevent these Fed
'eral auth critics from effectively cop
ing with the situation. Meanwhile the
city OF New York is subjected daily to
this menace to it's waterfront improve
rnents costing millions of dollars, and
to its bathing beaches, oyster beds and
other activities of the fishing indus
tries"
Congress has before it two bills
ueeking the prevention of oil pollution.
One was introduced by Senator Freling-
huysen Of New Jersey and the other
by Representative Appleby of the same
state. Mr.. Applebv will address the

HAMMONTON, N. j., Aug. I01-Therc

Nick Pacitti, the captor Of Pepper

will be the sergeant-at-arms on duty at
Cupid's Court.
Neither Editor Delker nor Lew Con-
ley, the onetime Babe Ruth Of South
ern New Jersey, who are the prom oters
of Cupid's Court, expects that there
will be any attempt TO start anything
out of the way at the sessions OF Gu
pid's Court, but they feel that they
should be prepared to meet all emer-
gencies.
"You know what the place is that
said Editor Delker to-day. Come
what may, we will be able to handle
any situation that arises
| Nick Pacitti is known locally as the
"gunmen terror" He is a hero of

on the police Of New York on the cele-

Pepper-Throwing Tony, a well known
gunman, after Tony had escaped from
| the police of the metropolis who were
taking him to the Tombs.
| Nick Knows All the Tough Places
Even ore sensational was Nick Pa

of San Francisco. Big Bill was man
Of great stature, as his name implies,
and he had a very rough manner, which
terrorized the storekeepars in this
thriving community, SO that Big Bill
Nick Pacitti came s1aag Nick told
Big Bill that he ouahs to be more
careful Of his actions and more polite
in his manners to the storekeepers.
"Where do you think You are; on the

knows all the tough localities where
| the crooks hang out.
"Say," said Big Bill, "you want to
ley off me. Pm tough. The last time
they tried to arrest me | had fit
and beat up six bulls before they
took me in"
But Big Bills bluff was promptly
called by Officer Nick Pacitti. He
showed Big Bill his revolver. which he

So Officer Pacitti told Big Bill what

neither hide nor hair of his has been

Copyright, 1922 New York Tribune Inc,
LONDON, Aug. 10. = Although the
British officials held out the impress
sion they are standing pat on their
German reparations policy, there were
strong hints tonight that, in note
sent to the Belgian and Italian dele
cations, they outlined the modified
sanctions they would accept in. CON

posals. From French sources it was
learned that Poincare has been fully
empowered to exercise his own iudg-

this and the British note close obsery-
ers believe the Premiers may draw
closer TO an agreement at to-morrow's
meeting.
A full meeting of the British Cab
met this afternoon accepted the deci-
sions Of the experts appointed to draw
up plan for German reparations pay
ments that all will agree to and ap-
proved Premier Lloyd Georges policy
Of drawing up memorandum en,body-
ing the British views, which was cir
culated among the other delegations
tonight.
Throughout the day Premier T Theu-
mis- of Belgium made strenuous efforts
to form plan that would be accept
able to both sides. There is evidence
tonight that he made some progress,
as the delegates appear more optilnis-
tic, although the British officially deny
rumors of an unconditional morato-
rum with another conference at Brus-
sells in September.
It's emphasized that failure to reach
an agreement doesn't necessarily mean
Allied rupture, since Britain will adopt
a waiting policy, hoping that even
French independent action, If it comes,
will not force British opposition.
PARIS. Aug. 10.-In note handed
to the Allied delegations at London to-
night. according to a Havas dispatch
from London, the British definitely out
lined. their attitude with regard to
Premier Poircare's proposals.
The plan for SO per cent tax on
German exports, says the dispatch, is
accepted by the British, as are also the
proposals for seizure Of the customs
and the control Of mines and forests,
but the latter control is agreed to
only conditionaIly upon the Germans
continuing recalcitrant and maintain

To the Patrons of
School Dist. No. II

As most of you know school
opens on Monday, August 28th.
The school buildings are being
put in order. supplies and books
are being ordered and practi-
cally all teachers and drivers are
employed at this time. so we
hope all things will be in readi-
ness to begin work the first
morning under full pressure
without loss of time. We hope
all the pupils who will be in
attendance during the year will
enroll the opening day. Due to
various reasons and conditions
children who have not attained
six years of age by October 1,
1922. will not be permitted to
enter this year.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1922-08-17

There will be practically no
changes in the long routes nor
in the driving schedule. Route
No. w will begin ! mile farther
west and will not turn east at
j. ]. Martins corner; the remain
ing routes will be the same as
last year and the same schedule
will be maintained at least for
some time. In travelling over
the roads recently it has been
noted that much of the brush
that held so much snow last
winter has disappeared; wonder
if, when the root crops have
been harvested and marketed
and the rush of the season is
over, more of that tall brush
will disappear before snow falls
again?
In taking inventory of the
library last spring it was found
that several books were still out,
either having been taken out
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1922-08-17

without being charged or not
returned when due. 1t was thot
advisable not to make a call for
such books at that time. But
when you have reached the next
period, the one at the close of
this sentence, will you go at once
to your book case and look the
books over carefully to make
sure that you have none that
belong to the school? Should
you find any, may we ask that
you return such at once that
they may be ready for use with
the opening of school. Such
books may be left at r. Peder-
sens store, or on the desk in
the school office.
AS most of those concerned
already know, the school board
has the power to issue excuse
from attendance at school to
children over fourteen, such
excuse being valid till Nov. /.
All applications for such excuses
should be made before school
opens as the board will not act
upon excuses at any other meet
ing than the September meet
ing.
Examination papers and GER
tificates from the state exami-
nations have returned; these
may be secured at the office any
time between August % and 26.
Those who hold the FIVE neces-
sary eighth grade examination
certificates and have not receiv-
ed a diploma should state that
fact to the superintendent.
The majority of the teachers
are new and thus strangers IN
the community. Shall we not all
agree to get acquainted with
them and make them feel at
home in our midst? A teacher
can do better work and feel

more satisfied if she knows the
people among wfsm she works.
Make an effort to know your
child's teacher, visit her room,
tell her you are Sally's mother
or daddy, and remain awhile to
see the work, then return later
to note the progress. And now
lastly, the superintendent is
anxious that the school shall
serve better than ever before,
in order to do this he must know
what the public thinks and says
about the school. If for any
reason you are dissatisfied, if
things are going wrong, if
the transportation is faulty, if
Johnny is not doing good work,
If the school can be made to
function better, take these
things to him and talk it over;
you will be accorded close atten-
ton and sympathetic ear and
taken seriously. May this be the
best year Askov school has
experienced.
Yours sincerely,
F. Clarey Nielsen.
