DISTURBER IN THEATRE
HERE is FINED SEQ

The practice of young men going
into local amusement houses for the
purpose of disturbing other members
of the audience and the entertain
ers, will probably be halted as the
result of the disposition made by
Recorder Harold e. Pickersgill of a
case of this character before him in
his court this morning.
1t has been a. general custom for
some persons to go into the local
theatres intent on raising a disturb
Inc no matter what kind of a show
is on the program. This interferes
with the plans of other persons who
go to the showhouses to be amused
ard generally when an entertainer is
.razzed" it is impossible to perform
in his or her most efficient manner.
The managers of the amusement
places have tried to handle the stu
alton by warning the offenders, but
it was impossible to do way with
the disturbance last night in this
manner.
The disturbance last night was
made in the Crescent theatre on
Smith street and the arrest was
made by Officer Joseph Dwyer who
was called in shortly after $3.50
o'clock and made the arrest on COM
plant of Hyman Reder. Joseph
Neiian of Cortland street was the
party arrested and a fine of $50
was imposed by the recorder this
morning. The fine was paid.

SAY He PASSED
FAKE MONEY
Check Bauries Charged With
Passing Bad Money in Al
legged Booze Case

NEWARK, Nov. 21:-"Chick'
Bauries, 1913 Suydam street, New
brunswick, and two other men were
a~rraigned before Commissioner
Emery here last night on a charge
of passing counterfeit money. This
is in connection with recent occur
rences at Atlantic Highlands and
vicinity where, it is said, a consider
able amount of counterfeit money
is being passed around as a result
of booze deals transacted in that
section.
1t is said that counterfeit money
was paid to fishermen for booze and
the latter, it is believed, unknowing,
" passed the money on. The fed
eral authorities Investigated reports
and learned that Bauries and two
others paid the counterfeit money
to the fishermen. David Geltzeiler
of Newark and Joseph Gallagher of
Railway are the a~ccomplices of
Bauries in this case.
Gallagher and Geltzeiler were re-
leased in $1,000 bail each pending a
hearing before Commissioner EN-
cry next Monday and Bauries was
released In the custody of his attor-
ney, former Senator Thomas Brown
of Perth Amboy.
Bauries is out on $4,000 bail
awaiting decision OF the United
States Circuit Court on an appeal
in connection with a conviction in
the Newark Pennsylvania railroad
liquor transporting case.

THEATRES
.9The FAST MaiI.n at Ditmas

The EaSt Mail" at DItmaS
Charles Jones and Eileen Percy
in THE Fast Mair' at the Ditmas
Theatre today and tomorrow end
the picture by kissing out on the
limb of a tree, thereby arousing the
establishment of the spectator, even
though he knows a picture must
wind up in a kiss. preferably in
some unusual position. For earlier
in the course of this William Fox
adoption of Lincoln J. Carriers old
melodrama they have gone through
50 many perils, especially in tho
case OF Jones, that one would i'm.
agine they would choose some other
place for OSCILLATION instead of going
high up In a tree.
Jones, in chasing the plot all ovel
the map, rides a horse which leaps
over a railroad gate just in time to
avoid being pushed over by the ex-
press; jumps lightly from .he fast
mail TO a speeding automobile, and
from one Mississippi steamboat to
another. and swings out over a tele-
graph wire with the heroine cling
ing to his legs to escape a realistic
fire, and altogether has as busy a
day as a man can have and still re-
main fairly intact.
Never mind the details of the
story, which begin with a steepIe-
chase and ends with an exciting no.
tel conflagration, which, however,
doesn't stop the villain inside from
trying his usual dirty work. Suffice
to say that Jones does all these
stunts-or appears to do them, for
the pictures moves at such a breath
less pace one can't tell whether ne
uses a double. thereby saving one
from worrying over such q ietail.
The hero certainly shows wonderful
wearing qualities, for in addition t.
these little problems the director o.
casionally stacks him up against
slashing fights.

The girl made her way home about
$3.50 O'Clock this morning. The

FUGITIVE, so, DRIVES BUGGY
$50 MILES BEFORE ARREST
Hired Rig at Milford, Pa, to Go Fishing but Didn't
Stop Until He Hit Nyack, Where Sheriff. Who
Trailed Him in Motor, Caught Up.

Meanwhile, not hearing anything about
his rig. the owner Of the Jones livery
barn notified the high sheriff, who pur-
sued In an automobile and with two
deputies.
The high sheriff finally picked up the
trail, but while he was roaring through
the country in his automobile, which he
admitted was a fast firing machine.
Crolur was travelling slowly from Cos
hen to Nyack behind his fast tiring
nag. He reached NyacS only a short
time before the car of the High Sheriff
snorted into the town and rolled up
the street with the high sheriff looking
keenly under the brim of his Tapping
sombrero for the horse and buggy
The old man had nothing to say when
he was arrested on the warrant the
sheriff carried in his pocket. except that
he wanted to get to Nyack, and horse
and buggy seemed the best means to
that end. He was arraigned before Po-
lice Judge Benjamin Haas. and turned
over to the high sheriff. who will take
him back to Milford. The horse. which
was nearly dead, will have to stay hero
two or three days to get some rest
All in all the old man did not seem
to be SO terribly put out about his ar
rest
"Taint so bad" he said, IT got buggy
ride coming and get automobile ride
going. Could be worse"

tually the only alterations to which the
commission will hold itself subject in
pressing 10 conclusion It's project. Iccn-
nical details are virtually In shape for
presentation to the Board OF Estimate
for action. once the public hearings have
been finished.

EMPTY TROLLEY CAR
MAKES A WILD DASH
Runs 3 Miles Before Fireman
Catches and Stops 1t.

An empty municipal trolley car ran
away last night from in front of the
car barns In Richmond road. Concord.
Staten Island, and went plunGing along
the rails for three miles without motor
man or passengers before 1t was stopped
by Fireman Joseph Foley of Engine
Company No. 167. Foley climbed on to
the roof from the rear of the car,
lowered himself through the front win
dow into the motormans booth and shut
off the power.
The car did not attract any attention
until it had gone more than a mile, and
then only because 1t went sailing past
a group who had been waiting to board
1t. There were several crossings be-
tween the car barns and the engine
company's house. and various persons
who started to make a leisurely cross
ing confident that the motorman would
slow UP for them had to jump quick to
get out of the way. A crowd which had
been waiting to get aboard the car at
Sea View avenue told Foley about II.
and the fireman caught 1t after a chase
of half q block.

CITIZENS UNION SUES
TO HALT HYLAN TUBE
Injunction Restraints Further
Steps in Brooklyn-Staten
Island Tunnel.
CALLS 1T ALL MOONSHINE
Waste Of 60 to 100 Million
Dollars of Public Funds Said
to Be Planned.

Through taxpayers action brought
by William Jay Schieffelin. its chair
man. the Citizens Union took steps yes
terday to block the attempt OF the Hylan
administration to build a freight and
passenger tunnel between Brooklyn and
Staten Island
Leonard NJ Wallstein, counsel for MIR.
Schieffelin, obtained from Supreme
Court Justice Faber In Brooklyn
temporary injunction restraining the
city authorities from making any fur
ther moves In the project. Justice Faber
also granted an order directing the au-
thorities to show cause before Justice
Fawcett on Tuesday why the injunction
should not be continued pending trial
of the action.
The Board of Estimate a week ago
appropriated s5S0,00o with which to
organize a staff of engineers to work
on the plan. Apparently this plan has
been pushed and enlarged for the pur-
pose Of embarrassing and handicapping
the Port Authority and the Transit
Commission The former has plans for
a freight connection between Richmond
Borough and Brooklyn and the Transit
Commission has In contemplation the
construction of a passenger tunnel.
In addition to Mayor Hylan and other
members OIL the DOdiQ o. ASoSihi~ec' sA'S
members Of the Board OF Aldermen and
of the special tunnel committee, con-
sisting of the Dock Commissioner, the
Commissioner of Plant and Structures.
the chief engineer of the Board of Esti-
mate and of the Borough of Richmond,
have been made defendants In the ac-
ton.
The Citizens Union in statement
last night said:
"The action is based on the contention
that to proceed with the project would
be a sheer waste of public funds IN an
amount ranging from $6O,ooo,oo TO SiW'-
900. The plaintiffs position Is that
the project Is entirely beyond the power
and authority of the Board OF Estimate
and that the statute under which the
board has purported to act, namely,
chapter 100 of the laws of 1921. does not
authorize the present project; that 1t
has been repealed and that In any event
1t was unconstitutional
"This is the matter concerning which
the Citizens Union wrote letter Of pro-
test to the Board of Estimate, which
the Mayor refused to permit the secre-
tary to read at its meeting Of May II
last. At the same time the Mayor took
to abuse the Citizens Union
and its officers. The union has not be-
nifty OF reply, and. combining itself to
the merits OF the project. has brought
this action to restrain the Mayor and
his colleagues from wasting the taxpay-
ers' money on pure moonshine."
