Two Dying, 4 Children
LII After Eating Nuts
Plant Poisoning Results From
Burrs Found in Park; Five
in Lincoln HosnifaI

Two children are dying and four
others are critically i'll as a result of
eating buried nuts which they collect
ed in Franz Sigel Park, at Mott Ave
nue. and I52d Street, the Bronx, yes
terday. They complained of violent
pains few hours after returning to
their homes, and showed so little inn
provement when domestic remedies
were administered that an ambulance
from Lincoln Hospital was mmoned
DR.. Fleischman declared that they were
suffering from plant poisoning and
hurried five to the hospital.
John De Russo, of 222 East 15Oth
Street, the only sufferer who was not
member of the nutting party, was
treated at home, and is thought to have
been saved as much by the prompt
administering of an emetic as by the
small number of nuts he had eaten
Vincenzo Caruso, two years old, and
Armando Nittora, eight, are expected
to die. Louis Peralto, seven; Pasquale
Russo, five, and John Nittora, five, are
the other patients in the hospital. They

68 Orphans Await Orders
Giving Them New Names
Applications for Adoption Are
Being Rushed Through
as Schools Open

The approach of school days has
brought with it rush of applications
to the Legal Aid Society from fam
lilies who desire legally TO adopt
children. In the five Offices of the
society, in Greater New York, sixty
eight cases are awaiting attention.
Only thirty-six applications have been
put through up to date.
If the adoption papers are settled in
time, the child may be entered in
school under his new name. Other
wise he will be registered under the
name which appears on his birth GER
tificate, making a later change both
difficult and embarrassing.
In most cases of adoption handled
by the society, which is known as "The
Poor Mans Lawyer" the children are
orphans of friends or relatives, and
already live with the families applying
for legal papers.
The next avalanche of applications
is expected about Christmas, when the
season of good will prompts an in

We are just as good as the peddlers
in the Park Avenue street market and
we pay graft just the same" com
mittee OF pushcart vendors of Orchard,
Rtvtngton and other East Side markets
told me.
They had heard Of the 80 cents ex-
acted from the Park Avenue peddlers
in addition to the 81 weekly permit
money for the supposed purpose of re-
moving boxes" and FASTENED to I'M
form me that the imposition was COM
mon to other markets in a different
guise. In Orchard and Rivington
streets it goes to the garbage man"
and in other places it just goes to
drivers" and other such vague per-
sonalities whose names are not even
known, but whose outstretched hands
are ever present.
1t should be known that the super
visors have always harped upon the
great expense of keeping the street
markets clean and the large amounts
of money they ara forced 20 lay out
for laborers and street cleaners for the
purpose of removing garbage and keep
ing the curbs tidy. They pointed TO
this item as one of the heaviest drains
on their weekly collections and the rea-
son why 81 arbitrarily was decided
upon by Commissioner of Markets Ed
win J. O'Malley as the weekly fee.
Spend Nothing on Work
1t now appears hat they spend prac-
tically nothing fer this purpose and
that the work is actually done by the
Street Cleaning Department at the per-
sonal expense of the peddler. Some of
the venders say that they frequently
give up rs cents and dollar 70. this
Service" in addition to their weekly
permit money.
aIf it amt boxes it's garbage,
and if it amt garbage it's drivers,
but they get your money anyhow" com
planned one of the peddlers.
Don't you know" / inquired, that
the 81 week you pay is supposed to
cover the expense of removing your
garbage and keeping the market clean,
and that the supervisor has always
pointed to this expense as the main
reason why the 81 has to be collected"

In many OF the Brooklyn markets had
to buy bags from him. The witness
estimated that FinksIstein did a busi-
ness of about $4,000 year among
them.
Police Captain Richard Gray Of the
102d Precinct, Brooklyn, which en-
braces che market referred to by Mos
kowitz, denied ail the charges made
by the witness. He said he had never
received any money from FinkeIstein
or from any peddIer. He admitted he
attended the meeting described by
Moskowitz, but ne denied that he spoke
against the market supervisors, but
that the fact was he spoke in favor
of them.

Commenting further on Moskowitz's
testimony, Finkeistein said that Mosko-

but chased away from the place he held
with dozen other peddiers by the
police, because they had located around

danger In case Of fire. Finkelstein said
that he had had paper bag business
at 81 Moore Street, Brooklyn, for years,
and because of his contact with the
peddlers in hiss business they had
turned TO him for advice and had asked
him to head their association Es-
paper bag business with the peddiers,
he said, was small compared with thst
he did with grocery stores and other
stores, and amounted in all to about
$4,000 year. Finkelstein said that
Moskowitz at one time kept fruit
store on Flatbush Avenue, brooklyn,
and still owed him s35 for bags he had
sold to him then. Finkefstein said he
had recently tried to collect the money
from Moskowitz, and ascribed this as

NARCOTIC CAMP AIGN
Was Called TO Tampa by Federal Dlreerot
Allen to Aid IN Breaking Al
legged Dope "Rinc."

After spending more than a week as
sisting federal narcotic and prohibition
officers in waging a successful campaign
against Illegal dope peddlers at Tampa,
r. F. Stearns, local prohibition enforce
ment officer, arrived back IN Pensacola
yesterday. Headed by Federal Agent c.
70. Miller, Of the narcotic bureau OF the
internal revenue department. a total OF
eighteen agents participated IN the cam
paign to ferret out and bring into the
courts those engaged in the Illegal drug
traffic in Tampa. The Tampa police CO.
operated in the work.
Twelve alleged violators were arrested
in almost every instance some form OF
denoe against them. And II Is said that
dope was being peddled In the streets
Of Tampa at less cost than through the
legitimate channels Of bona-fide drug
stores.
Ybor City, suburban district where
a good many Of Tampas foreign popula-
ton resides, was one of the places where
the officers conducted several successful
raids. And It was here that Officer
Stearns arrested one Tony Perez after
having found a quantity Of morphine
cunningly hidden between q water sink
and the wall.
Mr.. stearns said that the activity Of
the government agents in Tampa was
successful in every respect with the
probability Of every man arrested being
sent to the penitentiary, thus aiding in
putting a stop to the Illegal drug traffic
in Florida.
