1920, Berebitsky said, and asserted he
was nephew of John Jacob Astor, but
mad lost so much at pinochle that he
had to hunt a job. The Brownsville
and New York Hospital chef took him
on as assistant, said Berebitsky, on
the strength of Reginald's assertion
that before his uncle took up gold min
ing he was one of the best chefs in
America.
When Reginald's first kettle of SOUP
was served, however, it was apparent
that the mantle of his Uncle John had
not fallen on his shoulders, and he was
made second assistant dish washer.
After he got his job in the hospital
everybody used to call Reginald doc
tor, and he admitted that he was en-
titled to this form of address, having
done some rather fine work in field
hospital overseas. He was at the hos
pital just to keep his hand in, he said.
Margaret Price, of 122 High Street,
New Britain, says she used to know
Harold we'll, and showed a note he
wrote her in farewell, explaining that
he had to hasten to New York because
John d. Rockefeller was thinking of
adopting him. Folks in New Britain
are inclined to doubt Harold's story
of saving the Cars life. They say he
hurt his arm falling downstair

AIT East fremont Street, the Bronx
the most hospitable spot she had
struck in long time when she dropped
in for bite to eat and nap after a

hospitable that it finally took three
policemen to get the girl out again late
last night.
When Marion woke up after her nap
she found herself locked in and alone
in the darkened building, whose win
dows were too high for a safe drop to
the ground and whose fire escape was
too short.
Marion found telephone and talked
the situation over with her father. Her
father talked the situation over with
the police of the fremont Street Sta

man Andrew Miller went to the rescue.
The latter got into the building all

Lightning at Elizabeth;

Pole on Biltnore Struck

New York came in for the tail-end
of hail and thunder storm at $3.50
yesterday afternoon. Although the
precipitation registered at the Weather
Bureau was only a sixteenth of an inch,
the storm took a toll of one killed
and five injured and compelled several
factories around Queensberough Plaza
to shut down for the day while repairs
were made on a feed wire put out of

The storms fatality occurred in
Elizabeth, where Fern J.. Holcomb,
tree surgeon from Hiram, Ohio, was
struck by the only bolt of lightning
which hit near the town. Not a drop
of rain fell in the vicinity, and the
man was working unconcernedly in
tree on the Julian Kean estate when
he was killed instantly.
In the Bronx two automobiles
crashed on the slippery pavements of

Shopping and theater crowds were
driven to cover by the hail, which fell
for several minutes at the outset of the
storm in the upper sections of the city,
where the downfall was much heavier
than in the business district. The flag
pole on the northwest corner of the
Biltmore, thirty stories above the pave

Former acquaintance Of Harold
Schwarm, mechanic of New Britain,
Conn, who said he was Louis Henri de

Bourbon, when he was arraigned and
discharged in West Side police court
last week, were agreed yesterday that
it was not Harold's fault if neither
wealth nor royalty were to be found

Harold had done his best, they said.

Buchler Calls

Biased Critic
Supreme Court to Decide
Whether Commissioners

Answer TO His Questions
Says He Was Insulted
Former Markets Deputy De-
clares Transcript Was
Changed After Hearing

Justice O'Malley, of the Supreme
Court, will decide in few days whether
David Hirshfield, Commissioner of Ac-
counts, has the power to compel DR.
Samuel Buchlcr, lawyer and former
Deputy Commissioner Of Markets, to
answer questions in the Commissioner
investigation of the Department of
Markets. The justice heard argum ent
yesterday on an application by Com
missioner Hirshfield for an order ad-
Judging DR.. Buchler in contempt of
court for his refusal to answer cues
tions. The court requested Dr.. Buch-
Ter, who appeared as, his own coun-
sci, and Russell A. Tarbox, Assistant
Corporation Counsel, to submit briefs.
DR.. Buchler submitted an affidavit
in which he Characterized the conduct of
Commissioner Hirshfield as "ungentle-
manly, unfair, biased and prejudced"
During the investigation" said DR..
Buchler, che made insulting remarks
about me and did not conduct himself
like an impartial Investigator of an
affair that greatly concerns the well
fare of the city, and did not exhibit
any degree of judicial temperament
and fairness in said investigation"
This prejudice, added the former Dep
uty Commissioner of Markets, was dis
played by Commissioner Hirshfield
uyhon tho 1oftor
ing "wild and untruthful statements
about the Department of Markets."
In the official transcript of the pro-
ceeding before Commissioner Hirsh-
field, said DR.. Buchler, the word "un-
truthful" had been omitted, it being
further alleged by DIR. Buchler that
"this is only minor example in which
testimony is changed and corrected to
suit Mr.. Hirshheld's own purpose"
AS a sample of the prejudice snowr
by Mayor Hylan's official investigator
DR.. Buchler said in his affidavit: "At
the time that a certain investigation
was conducted by the District Attorne,
of Kings County in connection witt
conditions in the Department of Mar
kets, and certain hearing was helt
before Justice Cropsey, of the Supreme

with the said investigation and al
those who dared criticize the market!
were disappointed landlords, foor
profiteers, gangsters and the so-calee

not take kindly to their revenues be
ing cut off,"
This prejudice exhibited by Commits
sioner Hirshfield, said DIR. Buchler
made the Commissioner of Account!
unfit and disqualified him from hold
ing any fair judicial hearing.
In asking that the motion to punish
him for contempt be dismissed, Dr.
Buchler, asked the court to direct Com
missioner Hirshfield to pay the costs
of the proceeding out of his owr
pocket and not have the city pay the
costs. Mr.. Tarbox, representing the
Commissioner Of Accounts, argued tina
the latter was within his official au
thority in asking DR.. Buchler to testify
