SEEKING INJUNCTION
 AGAINST JUNK YARD
Neubauer Declares Kot- kin's Establishment Is
 a Nuisance

Alleging that his apartment house at 91 Putnam street has been made uninhabitable because of the noises and odors of a junk yard in which are operated a shearing machine and an electric trip-hammer, Louis Neubauer today. brought an action for an injunction against Morris kotkin, to restrain the latter from maintaining the junk yard and the alleged offensive apparatus. Dam- ages of S10,000 are also sought in the action, and in a separate action an appeal is taken by Neubauer from the finding of the board of ad- 1ustment of this city when the plain tiff's appeal from the action of the building inspector in granting a per init for erection of a shed to house the apparatus was denied and dis missed. The actions are returnable in superior court in September. At torney William M. Greenstein repre- isents the plaintiff, who is acting for several property owners in the vii cinity of the junk yard. Constable Fred Wrinkle served the papers this afternoon.
 Neubauer sets forth in his appli- cation for an injunction that kot- kin's junk yard permits an accumu- lation of junk and filth and the in stallation of the trip-hammer and shearing machine added to the noise of trucks about the premises has caused offensive noises and con- tributes to the discontinue of the plaintiff. Tenalts in the plaintiff s house have complained and have moved and threatened to move, it is alleged. and the effect of the alleged nuisance is to render the house unfit for human habitation.
 Because the superior court is not In session at the present time, At torney Greenstein did not make ap- plication for a temporary injunction which would close the junk yard at once pending hearing. but accord ing to the zoning ordinances, an ap- peal from the decision of the board of adjustment has a deterrent effect and the operation of the alleged of fensive apparatus must cease pend ing a hearing in superior court on the appeal, according to Attorney Greenstein.
 A few months ago, the board of adjustment was appealed to by Neu- bauer and the other property own CTS, but because the junk yard was in operation prior to the enactment Of the zoning ordinances. the board refused to grant the petition. Attor- ney Greenstein said today that mem- bers of the board will be subpoenaed when the hearing on the application for the injunction is given in super for court.

BERLINERS GASP AT DAPPER WALKER Offers Strange Contrast With
 Stern BurgomaSters CAREFREE MANNER PUZZLE
Preferred to Tour City With Slouch Hat and Alone, Rather Than Ride in Stately Coach-Wins Admira- ton Everywhere.

Berlin, Aug. 25 R Whatever elsa Mayor Walkers first visit to Berlin may yield in the nature of a picturesque contribution to the gayety of nations, 1t will likely be recorded in German postwar poli- tical history as marking the begin ming of a desperate fight between the champions and opponents of the German republican colors. When he returns to New York he may discover that his brief so- journ in the German capital gave impetus to a political ruction des- tined to have a decision bearing on the vexatious flag problem in the direction of furthering compulsory recognition of the colors which the Weimar constitution designated as the insignia of the new German re- public.
 The question became acute when the time the American club an- nounced it had arranged banquet in honor of the visiting mayor at the Kaiserhof hotel tonight. The authorities declared a boycott as concerns official functions, against this establishment and others which consistently fail to fly the republi- can colors. The burgomaster, Gus tave Boess. announced his intention to remain away from the function
 T am not concerned with the number or assortment of their flags" Mayor Walker said, T want to see Berlin," was the only com ment he had to offer.
 "Id rather don slouch hat and hike around the town to see things for myself" he interjected when shown the formal itinerary for his visit.
 Mayor Walkers well known aver sion to red tape and convention is proving delight to Berliners ac- customed to pompous functionaries usually middle-aged and be-spec- tacled, they were surprised at the youthful appearance and dapper clothes of the mayor of the west ern metropolis.
 It was study in contrasts when EBurgomaster Boess and Mayor Walker greeted each other, soon after the visiting party reached Berlin yesterday. The burgomaster is a typical German official, with bulky frame and serious attitude. Nevertheless they were soon chat ting and chaffing Himatedly, in a strange I.iXture of English and German.
 One of the things about the mayor that the Germans cannot understand is the familiarity with which he is referred to as "Jim- my" It would be absolutely out of the question, they point out. to call Burgomaster Doctor Gustave Boess plain Gus" The mayors party will spend the week end at Baden Baden and have a day at Munich, after which will come the first pro- longed break in the strenuous trip. This will be at Venice, where MT. Walker has avowed he will get a real rest.
