Prank On Clerks in New York
Bank VIII Cause Death of
Young Man From Shot

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The

ed one young bank clerk to shoot
another while long lines of deposi-
tors stood before the paying tellers
windows in the Bronx branch of the
Corn Exchange will result in the
death. of the wounded youth, it was
said last night.
The Corn Exchange Bank, like
others, provides its paying tellers
with revolvers as protection
against bandits attempting hold
ups. Recently, two young clerks in
the paying teller's division took two
of these weapons and went through
the motions Of what they would do,
if "stick-up men" made their ap-
pearance.
Glands up" commanded Joseph
Hertz, one of the youths to Hugh
Hickey, the other. Hickey a close
friend of Hertz as we'll as his fellow
employe, turned like a flash, and
almost simultaneously the weapon
in his hand was discharged. ~
Hertz sank to the floor with a
bullet in his groin.
John Furlong, another empioye of
the bank, retained his presence of
mind, and running into the cage
where Hertz lay, attempted to stop
the flow of blood with tourniquet.
AN ambulance from Lincoln Hospi-
tai soon arrived, and Hertz was TAX
en- to that institution, where it was
said last night he would die.
A charge of felonious assault was
made against Hickey, but this was
later withdrawn, Assistant District
Attorney Addelman being convicted
the shooting was an accident.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 20
C. Rose, of Pratt City, employe of
the Tennessee Coal, IriOn and Rail
road company, was shot to death
and City Detective J. T. Moser, was
shot through the hand in a battle
between score of police and depu-
ty sheriffs and Rose here late last
night. Rose had barricaded himself
in the room of a downtown hotel
and the siege continued for two
hours. The room of the man was
wrecked by gun fire and the second
floor of the hotel flooded when
firemen used hose in efforts to
route Rose.
Rose, according to hotel clerk,
registered Thursday night as Chas.
Fosse, retired to his room and was
not seen again until last night
when the clerk, fearing he was ill,
attempted to wake him. The man
is said by the clerk to have answer
ed his raps on the door with a
shot. Shouts to the man inside
were answered by more bullets thru
the door. A policeman was called
but was held at bay by the man
inside. Riot calls brought a score
of officers to the scene.
Hoping to reac hthe man, whom
they believed to be insane, without
killing him, ammonia bombs were
thrown into the room. These for
ced the man to a window and he
began firing into the crowd in the
street. Firemen were then called
and a hose was turned into the
room. This was of no avail and po-
lice used their guns. After shoot
ing in the door of the hotel, Off
GERS found the body of Rose, almost
shot to pieces, lying on mattress on
the floor. Traffic in the vicinity
was blocked as 1000 persons jam
med the streets during the battle.

HOKE SMITH LAWYER
IN VERY UNIQUE CASE

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 26.-For-
mer U. S. Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia was in Gainesville Ga day
or so ago looking after a damage
suit in which he is employed as at
torney. 1t was the case Of Hoke
Smith Gentle who had his hand cut
off by the sudden backing of a car
while he was adjusting the coupler
during last year.
Thirty-two years ago young
Gentle's father sued a railroad for
the loss of an arm, and Hoke Smith
successfully prosecuted the case.
Hence the boys name and hence
the employment of the lawyer in
the sons suit.
The case will probably not be
reached until next January term Of
court in Gainesville.

NEITHER SCOTT
GIVEN DIVORCE
Judge Renders Decision Today
m Famous Case Which Star
lied the Capital

ALPENNA, Mich. Sept. 20
Frank D. Scott, Michigan Congress
man, and Edna James Scot, mis-
wife, both were denied divorces in
a decision handed dowa today by
Circuit Judge Frank n limerick.
Congressman Frank Douglas
Scott and Edna James Scott, his
wife, separated during Christmas
week 1922, after an all night con-
ference in the Scots Washington
apartment had failed to bring a re-
Cancellation of their differences.
1t was a year later before Frank
Scott filed petition for absolute
divorce in the Alpena circuit court,
charging extrvagance and miscon-
duct, both under the heading Of ex-
IRENE cruelty.
In a cross bill Mrs. Scott denied
all the charges made by her hus-
band and countered with allegations
that the charges congressman gamb4
led ''for high stakes" and that his
conduct in others ways was Of a
nature making continued living TO-
gether impossible.
Mr.. Scott, in attempting to sub
stantiate his charges of misconduct,
named three men: Captain Wilbur
"Ja1zbo" Summers of the air service,
Harry Wyckoff, a clerk at the
Wardman-Park apartment hotel,
Washington, and an unnamed man
with whom Mrs. Scott is alleged
to have become acquainted while
travelling in Europe in the summer
of 1922.
The hearing of the case before
Judge Frank limerick at Alpena
early this year was interrupted to
permit both sides to obtain addi-
tional data and was resumed early
in August. The testimony was
'fringed with stories of liquor drink
ing and gambling parties at Wash
ington and the names of several
congressman of former congress-
men were heard.
On the congressional "trip to Pan
anna aboard the steamer Cristobal,
Mrs. Scott charged that her husband
and other congressman gambled and
drank. There was testimony that a
quantity of liquor was taken
aboard the steamer at Panama and
that what was not consumed was UNI
loaded from the boat at Norfolk,
Va, and taken to the Washington
homes Of some of the congressman.
1t was testified that some of the
liquor went to the Scott apartment,
although Mr.. Scott denied this.
That Mr.. Scott was "indiscreee
in entertaining men guests in her
apartment during the absence from
Washington of her husband charg-
ed by the congressman. This was
denied by Mrs. Scott for whom wit
nesses testified that her conduct
was orderly.
The SCOTS were married in 1914.
Mrs. Scott prior to hsp marriage was
a graduate nurse. Pending a decis-
ion on the petitions, Mrs. Scott has
been allowed $50 a month tempo

FRENCH PAY
HIGH FOR GRAPES

PARIS, Sept. 26.-The highest
prices ever paid for grapes from
the famous "King's vine," at Fon-
tableau were realized at the annual
sale when a sum nearly double that
of 1924 was taken IN.
The 1925 production, which was
of good average quality, brought
100 francs for SO lots Of 25
pounds each, at against 900 francs
in 1924.
The grapes come from the cele-
brated vine planted by King Henry
~. in the 18th century. With the
care given it by Louis XIV, and de-
spite Napoleon's Indifference, it is
now considered the finest specimen
of it's kind in Europe. It has a
counterpart in Hampton Court,
England, which produced this year
six hundred punches of grapes.
A proposal to remove the smoke,
SCOT, grease and other dirt that
has accumulated on the outside
walls Of the opera house during
the last ten years has raised a
sharp controversy in artistic circles
Some ardent admirers Of the
great building are crying out free

ing they may go down town and
find an entirely white opera loom

many shades OF color "artistically'

What would King George do with
whale if he were presented with
one? Was the question prompted
recently by the chase of one of
these mammals of the deep off the
English coast by fishermen who
sought to capture it for their ruler.
The idea of presenting a whale
to the king is in accordance with
an act dating back to the DAYS of
King Edward II, under which all
whales and surgeons with one ex-
ception caught around the coasts
of Great Britain belong to the reign
ing monarch.
King George has rarely had the
refusal of a whale, but he has had
several surgeons presented to him
during his reign, the first such gift
being made at the time of his coro.
nation. A few days ago the king
visited the Cardigan Bay district
in Wales and according to the an.
cient custom was presented with p
sturgeon which had been taken off
the Welsh coast.
