Supposed Maniac,
Prisoner i'm Home,

Husbands Arrest Reveals
to Neighbors Imprisoned
"Niolent" Wife Is Kindly,
Feeble Minded Person

Though the inhabitants Of the tene-
ment az iO7 Lewis Street have believed
for months that the second floor back
hafbored a violently insane woman,
they had almost come 20 .he conclusion
yesterday that their fears were ground
less. The maniac whom they had
mentally pictured 10 themselves turned
out 10 be a woman whose insanity lay
In the fact that she had only the men

KalmAn Fuchs. middle aged cloth
cutter, who said that he hos been out
Of work for the last three months. was
held Monday b. Magistrate Oberwagcr
FOR Special Sessions on n charge Of
failure 20 provide for his children, now
in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. In
default Of bail he wat taken 10 the
Tombs. and sescfal hours after HE I'M
prisonmont he sent for Warden Haulcy
and told him that his wife was locked
up In her room at the Lewis Street
address. He also explained tha. she
wss mot right in the head and that
nc had kept her in the room s.uce last
December, when she mad returned from
a hospital.
When a visit was made 20 the tene-
ment IL was found that none Of the
tenants would 20 near the womon's
room, and II remained for a woman
reporter 10 coax her way through tho
door and prove that Mrs. Fuchs was
harmless. Finally an aged woman was
persuaded 10 enter and act as an in
terpretor. and it was found that Fuchs
had provided enough food for one day
before his arrest. Then, as A was
problematical how long her husband
would remain in the Tombs. the in
terpreter agreed TO sec that Mrs. Fuchs
was cared for until further aid could
be obtained.
Fuchs. seen IN the Tombs yesterday
afternoon, seemed deeply concerned
over his plight, but was visibly cheered
when he was told that his wife was
all right and was being looked after
during his absence.

Who Is Right Finkelstein
or His Partner, MaiSel?
"The Public Will Not Believe U.s." Says Finkelstein.
"They Have in the Past and Will Now, Says Maisel.

Pretty nearly everybody who is
anybody, is now familiar with the
remarkable chain of circumstances
that forced Finkelstein G. Maisel,
wholesale clothing manufacturers,
to sell their well-known products
direct to the public, and be it said
TO the credit of the latter, with the
warmest and most enthusiastic sup
port imaginable.
To-day FinLelstein &. Maisel are
one of the biggest factors in retail
ing mems and young mems high
grade clothing to the public, with
clientele that extends everywhere,
and includes many of our most
eminent citizens, bankers, brokers,
judges, journalists, theatrical mag
mates and men of every walk Of life.
However, that's merely incidental
to the following facts-an actual,
verbatim transcription OF discus
sion between the two members OF
the firm in arranging for a clear
ance sale of their entire stock.
I'm afraid" said Mr.. Finkel-
stein, that our prices are so low
the public, in this instance, at least,
will not believe u.s.
II guess they know by now"
said Mr.. Maisel, eve are not takers
and we really give them actual
wholesale prices and nothing but
pure woolens."
yes" said Mr.. Finkelstein, "but
nevertheless, we'll have hard time
convincing the public that we are
really offering them a really fine
suit or overSoat at S15.95. They'll
think the thing is impossible, even
coming from us, and even knowing
we are manufacturers"
Nonsense" said Mr.. Maisel,

POLITICAL REVOLT FEARED
BY CHIEFS OF OLD PARTIES

shows S02 Republicans, 1872 Demo-
Gratis and one Independent. The Re-
publican majority of ITO in the House
has accomplished little in the way
of relief in popular estimation. 1t has
proved unwieldy and unresponsive to
the character of leadership displayed.
Even the most sanguine Republican
partisan does not contend that the
representation of his party in the next
Congress will approximate that in the
present session. The fact is, the more
reasonable Republican leaders concede
the possibility OF the lower branch of
Congress falling into the hands of the
Democrats.
The chief difference between the
Republicans and Democrats in Con-
gress has been that the former have
lacked efficient leadership and the lat
ter have had too many leaders whose
main contributions have been in the
line of conversation rather than an
intelligent ..rasp of the needs of the
country and the ability to frame legis-
lation calculated to provide for them.
Former President Wilson has taken
little part in the management of his
party, though he has frequently shown
a keen appreciation OF passing events.
If the Democrats have a definite con-
structive program in mind they have
not revealed it up to date. But there is
no question that they have an issue. 1t
is the League of Nations. Mr.. Cox,
the Democratic Presidential nominee,
clearly indicated this fact in a speech
at the Jackson Day dinner at Dayton,
Ohio, last night.
1t is assumed that the declaration OF
Mr.. Cox that his party had not shifted
It's position on the international situa-
ton since the last campaign was made
with the full concurrence of Mr.. Will
son. That at least. is the belief of the
Democratic leaders in Washington.
These men believe the trend Of Eu-
ropean events and the actual and in
dicated results of the armament con-
ference at Washington have helped to
revitalize the League of Nations issue,
and that it will prove winning card,
plus Republican mistakes, in the COM
ing Congressional elections.
They believe the failure of the Re-
publican majority to provide relief
from burdensome taxation, an ade-
quate tariff with which to stabilize
business conditions, the retention Of
Newberry in the Senate and the en-
actnnent of an unavoidable bonus law
designed to fool the eX-service men,
with other Republican mistakes" will
furnish an excellent frame for the
League Of Nations issue.
One OF the most significant features
Of present conditions is the dissimi-
larity Of issues raised in various parts
of the country and which apparently
have no relation to Republican or
Democratic policies as a whole. The
agricultural insurgency is responsible
for some Of them; prohibition for
others, as also the failure of the party
in power to reduce taxes, provide a
satisfactory tariff law or the delays in
improving conditions consequent upon
them.

Will Get Right of Way When
Reported Out by Ways
and Means.
FINANCING NOT SETTLED
Fordney Says Harding Will
Not Oppose if Funds Can
Be Obtained.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--Early action
was forecast tonight when Republi-
can members in caucus adopted reso-
luton instructing the Ways and Means
Committee to frame a bonus bill and
declaring that once reported the meas
ue should be the continuing order OF
business until passed. No opposition
to the resolution developed. it was said.
While ways of raising necessary reve-
nuc for a bonus were discussed, it was
said, no instructions were given the
Ways and Means Committee as to what
revenue raising provisions should be
placed in tho bill. Members generally
were Of the opinion it would be ad-
visable for the committee first to thresh
out this point and leave the Republican
membership of the House privileged
after the bill is reported to caucus
again, particularly ON that feature OF
the measure.
Such sentiment as was expressed, Il
was said, was In favor Of making the
cash provisions of the bill less attrac-
tive and those providing for insurance
and home farm aid a more desirable
option. Several members were said to
have urged that cash payments be some
what reduced so that more veterans
would be inclined TO take advantage OF
other benefits. This. it was said, would
require less initial revenue.
incidentally several ways OF provid-
ing necessary revenue were suggested.
among them sales tax, Issuance OF
bonds secured by the foreign debt and
use of interest paid in by nations in
debted to the United States.
Chairman Eordney OF the Ways and
Means Committee assured his colleagues
his committee would act with dispatch.
Hearings. he said. would begin Tuesday,
with the prospect they would be brief
and that the bill would be reported very
soon. Mr. Fordney. it was said, gave
no indication as to how revenue might
be raised. although it was said he told
the caucus that President Harding was
not opposed to bonus provided way
OF financing the project could be worked
out without disturbing the finances of
the country.
The resolution adopted by the caucus
was presented by Representative Reece,
Tennessee. a former service man.

the failure of the party in power to
provide correctives for business de-
moralizat.on, agricultural depression.
extravaganza and other evils.
Perhaps one of the most surprising
revelations brought to the surface by
the activities of the agricultural group
and through protests. warnings and
demands showering upon members OF
Congress was that the wave of discon-
tent was not-confined to the farming
elements, but was shared by men and
women voters engaged in every class
Of business.
The fundamental complaint was that
the party in power appeared to be
more concerned over little patronage
squabbles. in devising fatuous schemes
to attract personal support for individ-
ual candidates, than over fundamental
issues which affect every class of citts
zen. Some Of the clearer thinking
leaders found occasion to adnaonish
their associates who were more in
terested in patronage and other COM
paratively unimportant matters of per-
sonal interest. that the people OF the
country expected prompt and inteili-
gent action to relieve existing burdens
not only on the agricultural industry
but on citizens generally.
These warnings were permitted to go
unheeded until the alert promoters OF
the agricultural movement sensed an
opportunity to foment dissatisfaction
with the trend OF events at Washing
ton. or rather lack Of intelligent direc-
ton in this respect.
The two parties already had trouble
enough without the volunteer contribu-
tions from the rural belt. even before
the new insurgent movement had es-
tablished it's supremacy over the ma
tional legislative mind. Conditions in
both organizations were anything but
tranquil, although the same causes
We're largely responsible. The agri-
cultural insurgency merely served to
crystallize and expand the waves of
criticism and resentment that de-
veloped in various parts of the coun-
try.
The international conference was
conceded to be good thing by the pro-
fessional Republican politicians. 1t
served as a sort of windshield against
the criticisms through hard winter.
The deliberations of the conference
monopolized the attention of the peo-
pie. or at least diverted it from prob
lens Of greater domestic and more in
innate Importance. But the windshield
has served its purpose and has been
laid aside.
The leaders of the party now face
the full expression Of popular resent
ment.
In the coming elections tllirtytwo
Senators and 435 members Of the
House are to be voted for or against.
The Senate is composed OF fifty-nine
Republicans, thirty six Democrats and
one Independent. There is practically
no chance for the Democrats to win
control Of that branch Of the national
legislature.

Heavens sake look at them-they'll
create a sensation. There isn't
thing in town like 'em in style or
any point at twice the price"
"That's true said Mr.. Finkel-
stein, "but even though any one of
our higher class trade would be
proud to wear the suits or over
coats, if they only got look at them.
still, l am afraid the price in print
would make 'em afraid to come, and
others would take us for Cheap

"Well, let me have my way in
this instance; let me say this is a
real, bona-fide, yearly clearance sale,
offering fifteen per cent. below
actual wholesale prices; and that
we positively guarantee every gar
ment strictly all wool"
"All right" said Mr.. Finkelstein,
''but add that we not only guarantee
everything all wool, but put in that
we will return the peoples money
if they can duplicate any OF our
suits or overcoats at twice our
prices. Think of it, Maisel, if the
people could only be made to realize
what we are offering them-seeing
the stuff they are buying in so many
sales at $40 and Slowed have TO
call out the police to keep the
crowds in line
However. the sale is on and you
are asked not to doubt, but to at
least come and see the values before
passing judgment. Only one word
describes the sale-sensational -
whether it is the suits and overcoats
at S15.95, S20.s3, S25.08 or those at
$2S.05-and full dress and Tuxedo
suits at $50, $35 and $40-whole-
sale prices, bear in mind, with the
extra fifteen per cent. subtracted.
And all guaranteed absolutely pure
wool or money refunded instantly.
