Sings Like Sick Dog,
One Neighbor Says
Of Another

BROOKLYN, Feb. 26.-MagiS-
trate Curtis, of Flatbush, was
treated to noise similar to
that of an asthmatic coyote as
Herman C. Roeper attempted to
explain how dreadful was the
singing of Randolph Franken, a
neighbor.
Franken's father explained
that his son has sung in a
church choir and sings at
home for pleasure. Then Roeder
spoke up:
'If he'd practice the piano
and sing decent songs I'd be
upstairs applauding. He wears
me out with his sick dog
serenade."
In a voice that was pitched
high, far off key and fearful
in every way, Roeper gave his
imitation. The court quickly
intervened.
1t was agreed that all con-
cerned should try to reach an
amicable agreement and return
March 4 to report to the court.

PUG. MAY VOID
PHONE STOCK

A head-on collision between

An inquiry is under way, and
under the public utilities act the
