Getting Acquainted.

The bus was starting in the midst Of
q torrent Of rain, when the conductor
put his head inside and inquired:
"Will any gentleman get outside to

"She can come inside and sit on my

jocularly.
To his great surprise a buxom wom-

After a time the man got into CONVEX

claimed.

Hezekiah to George v.

One of the most engaging beliefs Of
the British Israelites now In session
is that our royal family is directly
descended from the kings of Israel.
The marriage of a daughter of Heze-
kiah to a king Of Ireland is alleged by
some as a basis for the pedigree, and
there are said to be proofs lying in
SOM London archives. The publica-
ton of this evidence would surely be
the literary sensation Of the year.

Armed Guards Are on Duty as
Last Rush for Payments
Sets Tn.

The last minute rush to pay Income
taxes has set in and Collector Frank
X. Bowers and his deputies In the Gus

ing crowds until the closing OF the
internal revenue office tomorrow night.
Protection against holdup men ana
pickpockets is provided i'm uniformed
policemen at the receiving clerks windows
and revenue men in plain clothes circulate
through crowds in the corridors at all
times. Similar precautions are taken
by Collector John j. Rafferty, in the
Brooklyn office.
One hundred and fifty clerks open and
sort mail that is received daily in the
Custom House and another large aug
mented staff takes charge OF personal
payments. Collector Bowers would not
venture yesterday comparison between
this and last years receipts.
A test holdup drill was held in the
Brooklyn office yesterday. and the
clockwork precision with which the en-
tire staff OF attendants and guards
responded to the call convinced Collector
Rafferty, the building was adequately
protected. When one Of the cashiers

DOCKED $500, SEEKS
PRINCIPALS ARREST
Stuyvesant Laboratory Work
er Sues for Warrant for L.
r. Won Nardroff.

Every time a teacher enters or leaves
Stuyvesant High School in East Fif-
teenth street he or she has to punch a
timeclock. Each day the story the
clock tells is recorded and at the end of
the month the Board Of Education de-
ducts from a teachers salary for tardi-
ness or absence.
The operation OF this system, which Is
employed in other schools, too, has SO
vexed Nathaniel Becker, physics labora-
tory assistant, that he went into the
Supreme Court yesterday requesting the
arrest of Ernest r. Won Nardroff, prin-
cipal of Stuyyesant High, for extortior
and oppression.
Becker applied for a warrant to
Magistrate Sweetser in Yorkville Court
a week ago, but could not get it, So. as
his own attorney, he asked Justice New
burger to issue a writ of mandamus
compelling Magistrate Sweetser to order
the principals arrest Charles J.
Druhan. Assistant Corporation Counsel
appeared for Mr.. Won Nardroff. The
Justice, reserving decision, asked both
sides to leave briefs with him, which
they did.
On leaving the court room Becker
declined to talk about his charges
against his superior. In the court room
he only said that deductions had been
improperly made from his salary, IN
sums as small as 50 and rs cents at a
time. and that in the aggregate they
came to about 5000.
MIR. Becker returned TO Stuyvesan,
High School laboratory after making his
appeal to Justice Newburger and stayed
there until 30 p. NJ, when his duties
regularly end. Won Nardroff was no,
at the school. II was explained that t1e
was absent because of the death or seri-
Gus illness of a relative. but would be
back to-day.
At his home at 1853 Simpson avenue
The Bronx. Mr.. Becker said he regretted
that his application had come to public
notice. He has been fighting for five
years to have removed from che records
of The Board OF Education charges made
against him, wrongfully. he said. when
he was an assistant teacher of chemistry
IN the Bushwick High School. He has
twice started libel suits. One OF them
in which he seeks $50. 900 damages from
the Board OF Education. Charles w
Lyon. district superintendent. and Clar.
ence +. Meleney, John L. Tildsley and
Gustave Straubemuler, assistant super
intendents. is pending in the Supreme
Court.
Becker also has asked the State Edu-
cation Commissioner to compel the
Board OF Education to restore him to his
position as an assistant tesycher OF
chemistry. but decision as to this is
help up until the libel suit Is tried.
Meanwhile the Board OF Education
has retained Mr., Becker as laboratory
assistant at the red uced salary Of s2.20c
year. He contends that IL the charges
made against him when he was at Bush
wick High School were true he should
have been dismissed from the school sys-
tenn and that IL they were false he
should long ago have been restored to
full duty and salary.
In order to prepare himself for hir
legal fight for reinstatement as chem.
istry teacher, Mr.. Becker has studied
law. especially the law Of liber. until he
deems himself qualified to manage hi.

SIX CYLINDER LOVE-
SEEN BY 1000 BLIND
Fritz Kreisler Also Entertains
Novel Audience With
Violin Solos.

A unique audience, including fully a
thousand blind persons. gathered yes
terday for a special performance OF
six Cylinder Love- at the Sam II.
Harris Theater. The performance was
given under the auspices of the Matilda
Ziegler Magasine FOR the Blind. and pre-
ceding the play. as a special surprise
for the blind guests OF the theater man.
agement, Fritz Kreisler played. Few
of the auditors had ever heard Mr..
kresler's famed violin playing except
on phonograph records, and at the an
nouncement that he would play storm
of applause and cheers filled the house.
Mr.. Kreisler played three selections.
Rimsky Kersakofrs Hymn to the
Sum-" Tartini's Variations and his
own Caprice Vienois."
In the presentation of the play Ernest
Truck and the other members of the
cast contributed their services and Mr..
Harris donated the use of the theater
and met all the expenses. including a
special program in Braille for the blind
guests. There were many persons IN
the unusual audience who never had
been in a theater before.
The play was followed by the sight
less auditors with almost breathless at
tention, and many Of the lines were
greeted with appreciative laughter and
applause. No hint as to the story OF
the play had been given to the guests
and the only aid to understanding that
was extended to them was an oral
description, before each act, of the
stage setting to be disclosed.
The first act was described by Don
aid Meek, the second by Berton Church
Ill and the third by Ernest Truck. so
that the blind listeners might compare
several of the players real life" voices
with their stage voices. All three of the
actors were greeted as vociferously as
had been Mr.. Kreisler.
There were delegations present from
the New York School for the Blind,
from the classes for the blind in the
New York public schools and from the
Catholic Center for the Blind and the
Jewish Guild for the Blind.
No one followed the play with keener
interest or with more apparent enjoy
ment than Miss Catharine McGirr who
for thirty-fve years has been deaf as
well as blind. She holds a position In
the office OF the Motiida Zieoler Maya
zine, and was one of the few guests who
received an outline of the story of "Six
Cylinder Love" before the performance.
She was accompanied to the theater by
Miss Harriette Weems, who shared a
box with Mrs. Fritz Kreisler. and who
sat beside the blind and deaf young
woman through the play talking to her
with hand pressure.
II can't keep UP in detail with the
actual dialogue for her." said Miss
Weems. "but am able TO tell her each
situation as 1t arises and every now
and then give her some of the shorter
actual speeches"
At one point in the performance the
deaf and blind girl became so excited
over the plot that she began to initiate
the guiding of motor car with grapi1ic
gestures.
