Alfred Floegel, Artist, Gets
Fellowship at Hands of
American Academy.
WAS FACING EVICTION
Former Successes in Prize
Contests Failed to Yield
Enough for Rent.

A fellowship in painting has been
awarded by the American Academy in
Rome to Alfred F1oegel of 210 East
Eighty-eighth street. New York city.
The subject in the final competition was
Music" The fellowship is of the
value of $1,000 a year for three years,
with free residence in the Academy
and opportunity for travel. The sti-
pend will be provided by the Metro
politan Museum of Art as trustee of
a fund established in memory of the
late Jacob II. Lazarus Of New York.
Mr.. F'loegel is the ninth Fellow of the
Academy to receive an appointment
on the Lazarus Foundation, such ap-
pointment being made once every
three years.
Mr. Floegel was born in Leipzig. Ger
many. September 4, 1894, but Is now an
American citizen. He studied art in
Germany, and In this country he has
studied at the New York School of In
dustrial Art. Beaux-Arts Institute Of

for designs IN mural decoration at the
National Academy and had accepted for

But in spite of the prizes that he has
won and the certain amount of renown
he gained through winning them at the

stucco worker, and he has never had
time for Greenwich Village. He does
not even know the patter of the VIII

he lived on First avenue and walked
in Fifth. and he went to night school
whenever he had the money and the
time.
He always had more time than money.
and on the day he turned in the paint
ing that won the prize he would have
been evicted from his small apartment
had he not had neighbors who appealed
for stay in the Yorkville Court until
the struggling artist could get enough
money TO pay the rent. But he kept on
at his work. and with the money and

Man Hunting Posses Securing
COuntrfside-Alarm Sent
to Police in Towns.
MAKES HOLE IN ROOF
Once Atop Prison, Descent to
Freedom Over Warden's
House Is Easy.

Charles Greer, serving sentence of
twenty years for murder, escaped from
Sing Sing prison last night. He was
found to be missing when the guards
checked up prisoners after locking
them in their cells for the night at
$3.50 o'clock. The prison whistle was
blown for fifteen minutes, the police
departments of the surrounding towns
and villages were notified. and Warden
Lewis e. Lawes sent detachments of
keepers and guards out in automobiles
to hunt for the convict.
Warden Lawes made an examination
of the cell block last night. and said
afterward that nc hal found small
hole punched in the tile roof of the
block.
Greer was rather thin. he said,
"and the hole was just about large
enough for him to pull himself through.
In order to reach the garret he smashed
trap door. / guess he ran along the
roof and made his getaway from my
residence"
The warden said that Greer had been
working in the prison as a cleaner, and
that consequently his appearance on
different tiers of the cell block would
not attract any attention from the
guards. His theory that Greer escaped
by way of the warden's residence was
accepted and agreed to by other prison
officials. as he most certainly would
have been seen had he tried to get away
along the river front. as 1t was day
light when he escaped. The warden's
house is outside the walls. but 1t adj
joins the cell block. and 1t would not
have been a difficult matter for Greer
to have walked along the roof of the
latter and dropped to the roof OF the
warden's residence. Then he could
easily have watched his chance to slip
into the house and down the stairs. or
he could have even slid down the roof
and risked the drop to the ground. The
last two escapes from Sing Sing were
carried out by way of the roof of the
cell block, although in one case the con-
vict swung himself TO the walls with a
roye and dropped to the ground with
out being seen.
Greer was sent TO Sing Sing on May "a.
1920 from White Plains. giving his home
address as Greenwich, Conn. He was
sentenced TO from twenty years to life
after he had been convicted of SECOND
degree murder for the killing of Thomas
heene, manager OF one OF the Buter
grocery stores. while committing rob-
berry on January 81, 1920. He was ar
rested while serving a sentence IN
Bridgeport for another burglary. and
was also wanted In New York for the
robbery Of grocery store on Amsterdam
avenue. Even with the usual time off
for good behavior Greer had at least
thirteen more years 10 serve at Sing
Sing. He was described as five feet and
eight inches tall. weight 1870 pounds,

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C., june is.
The fight to impose the $4,000, 900. 900
bonus raid on the country will enter
decisive and possibly final legisla-
tive stage this week.
BY far the most interesting feature
that looms above TIE turmoil and
pickering which have characterized its
consideration by Congress for many
months relates to President Harding's
exact position on IL at the present
time
An unequivocal statement made yes
terday by Senator McCumber IN. D.
in the debate. provoked by tie reading
of a Washington dispatcl, to THE
NEW YORK HERALD regarding the bonus,
is calculated to receive great deal of
attention during the activities of the
various bonus groups tomorrow.
The positive declaration of the
President that he does not favor any
bonus measure that fails to provide
the necessary revenue or is not based
on tie sales tax was practically chal-
lenged by Mr. McCumber. Replying
to An Interrogation from Senator
Borah (Rep., Idaho) and Senator IN
derwood (Dem., Ala.), both opposed to
the scheme, the Finance chairman de-
clared positively that he believed the
President would sign his bill. which
does not contain a revenue provision
in any form

Dry Agents Smash Precedent
in Effort to Tighten Up
on Smuggling Here.
GOT ABOARD BY RUsE
Applcby Plans Patrol to Stop
Bootleggers Getting Supply
Beyond Customs Limit.

Prohibition agents for the first time
ing into this port before she docked to
learn whether she carried contraband
liquors, according to the statement
last night of John D. Appleby, zone
chief of Federal general prohibition
agents of New York and New Jersey.
This was regarded as a radical de-
parture from policy heretofore pur-
sued by the prohibition agents, and
was taken TO indicate Tightening up
on the importation of liquor into this
port.
2 Mr. AppIeby stated that the Hahn.
former sub-chaser, which has been as
signed here as a part of the "Dry
Navy" to chase liquor smusglers in
New York waters. has been detailed to
patrol the entrance TO the Port of New
York beyond the twelve mile customs
limit.
The offshore vigilance of the prohi-
hilton enforcement officials was sharp
ened by reports that seven liquor laden
vessels were lying fifteen or twenty
miles off the coast of New Jersey await
ingHa favorable opportunity to slip into
New York or some harbor in bootlegging
distance of the city.
The Hahn Is to observe the actions
OF incoming steamships, some of which,
according to Mr.. Appleby. are sus-
pected OF anchoring outside the customs
limit and unloading quantities of liquors
on rum running yachts and barges.
II was learned that at least one for
eign liner coming into New York was
boarded yesterday before she passed
Sandy Hook. The prohibition agents re-
fused TO reveal the name of the steamer,
though Appleby confirmed the report Of
the boarding party.
The boarding was accomplished by use
OF a seagoing tug which had been en-
gagged for the purpose. The tug was
loaded up with prohibition agents and
lay In wait along the ship lanes until
the liner hove into sight. They signalled
then for the vessel to stop, which she
did.
According TO the story coming from
sources close TO prohibition headquar-
ters. the agents aboard the tug gained
admittance TO the liner not through any
desire OF her master 10 comply with
their requests as agents but because by
q ruse they had led the officers of the
ship to believe that they were custom
ers" seeking to do some liquor business
outside the three mile limit.
They would not disclose whether they
actually were able 20 neeotiate n deal.
but it was stated that they sound aboard
the vessel 10000 cases OF liquor. The
cases were said to be stacked up on one
OF the decks and the bootleg value of
the imposing structure tho cases made
was estimated at moro than $1,000. 900.
Being outside the limit and no effort be-
ing made to unload the liquor for sale
in the United States 1t Is understood the
agents decided there really was nothing
they could do about It.
Mr.. Applehy explained that. as the
prohibition laws stand. the ocean liners
which he says are unloading the liquor
outside the customs limit cannot be held
for violating any law when they come
inside the customs limit

CONEY BALLYHOOS BANISHED|
UNDER AN OLD ORDINANCE
Inspector Sackett Says Shows That Have Been Part OF
the Island for Years Collect Crowds and He
Wants to Keep Them Moving.

Inspector Bryon r. Sacke<t of the
Eighth district. which includes Coney
Island. started a campaign last night
against the ballyhoos of the island. by
which the owners and managers of the
concessions lure customers into their
places. The inspector found para
graph in Chapter 23, section 22 OF the
code Of ordinances, which he declares
forbids ballyhoo. and during the rain
storm on the island between six and
seven o'clock he sent Sergeant Emil
Steihr and Patrolman Frederick Mid
buhr out to enforce it,
The chapter which the inspector de-
elares forbids ballyhoos and the brief
free show which the concessionaires are
accustomed to hold in front of their
places says mo person shall from any
window or open space of any house ex-
hibit to the public upon the street or
sidewalk thereof any performance o.
puppets, or any figure. ballet or any
dancing. comedy. farce show with NOV

ing figures. play or other entertain
ment"
Inspector Sackett holds that this pro-
hibits the free shows and the ballynoo'
which has been part of Coney Island
for many years. The reason for the
sudden effort to enforce the ordinance.
he said last night, is 20 keep the crowds
from collecting and to keep everybody at
Coney Island on the move. Sergeant
Steihr and Patrolman Mudbuhr served
summonses on Nanny Sail. who is man
ager of the Hagenbeck Animal Show,
Underground Chinatown and the Eden
Musee; upon Henry Brill, manager of a
freak show at 81 Surf avenue. and
Herbert Labelle. manager of frea@
show at S04 Surf avenue. The sum-
monses call for the appearance of the
three men in the Coney Island Police
Court this morning, when the matter
will be threshed out before Magistrate
McReynolds.
