against Blanche Brown, colored, and
seven colored men for alleged con-
spiracy to conduct the bootlegging
business. The eight persons were in

Seven persons are charged with
peddling dope or otherwise violating
the Harrison anti-narcotic act and
seven alleged recreant husbands are
charged with neglecting wife and
children.
The grand jury ignored a charge
OF false pretenses against Mrs. Will

HYLAN CHALLENGED
TO DUEL WITH FISTS
Controller Craig's Offer Declined BY
New York Mayor-"Liar"
Starts Uproar.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 1s.-Controller
Craig today challenged Mayor Hylan
to a fistic duel, but failed to get an
acceptance.
The challenge was hurled at the
weekly meeting of the committee of
the whole of the board of estimate,
which almost invariably is the scene
for caustic debates between the two
officials. Today's clash, however,
was even more heated than usual,
the mayor and the controller calling
each other liars.
The trouble started during a dis
cussion of sewer assessments, when
Borough President Reigelmann OF
Brooklyn charged Mr.. Craig with
breaking a prediction promise to
abide by new law permitting the
assessing against the city of two
thirds of the sewer cost.
II think this is an ordinary case OF
grand larceny to take money from
one set of citizens and give to an
other" the controller retorted. "1t is
nothing but an attempt by the board
to pay of political promises"
of liar you are" the mayor retort-
ed, flushing red.
'You can't call me a liar," shouted
the controller.
you are a liar" the mayor in
sisted. "Now ] ask you to step out
side" yelled Mr.. Craig. leaping to
his feet. 1--WE can settle it in the
hall"
Hauled back into his seat by other
board members, Mr.. Craig cried:
II say you are dirty liar when you
say what you do"
The gist of a remark about the
mayors friends down in Wall street"
was lost in the ensuing uproar.
After the mayor had called the
controller had failed to get action
on a. motion to adjourn ''to give me
a chance to make good" presumably
with his fists, excitement simmered
down and business was resumed.

RUSSIA STARTS
BEATING BACK
By THOMAS W. LAMONT.


r UST az I was leaving London
early in the summer, practical
- business men, familiar with
Russian conditions, made this pre-
diction to me: That there are two
ways, one akin to the other, In
which the Russian situation will
gradually improve. One is that the
Soviet government will begin to
persuade foreign engineers, manu-.
facturers and other technical eX-
perts to return to Russia and take
in hand various units OF production
and transportation. The second is
that foreign merchants will open
up more active trade-not direct
with Russia, which seems for the
moment tmpossible-but with the
buffer states like Latvia, Es-
tonia, ETC., whose merchants (hav-
ing formerly been q part Of it,
know Russia perfectly; and in re-
turn for shipments Of goods into
Russia can secure payment in
kind or in some other way not
open to the ordinary foreigner.
One OF my friends described
these two processes as to Russia
as akin to the isolated skin graft
ing operations that are sometimes
undertaken upon a bad burn on
the human body. A lot Of little
patches Of healthy skin are stuck
here and there, gradually grow
and, after a time, with good luck,
come together and cover the whole
burn. was inclined to think this
pretty good metaphor and to be-
lieve that this prophecy as to Rus
STA was not unlikely Of fulfilment,
even though the time involved may
be long and weary.-Christian Her

A BOUT this matter Of the abil.
"a ity Of man or woman to

with recent articles in your col

dead wrong In his very fundamen-

deeply into his studies of psyche

Of which attributes go to the max.

Edna, Edna, how can you say
such things? "No wife can fasci-
nate her husband after five
years." She can and does, I truly
believe, in numbers far greater
than those who fail and go to the
divorce courts.
You see, Edna, It's the unhappy

honestly do "get a kick" out Of

country road when they are forty
