Learned OF three attempts TO
work the old badger game on the
streets Of New York. AS In each in
stance. the method used was the
same, a Park avenue incident may
De cited. The manufacturer of an
internationally known children's
remedy, accompanied by another
manufactures, was being driven up
that avenue. A traffic light stopped
The car and a well-dressed. attrac-
i've woman opened the door and
got In. The two manufacturers
looked at her in surprise. Don't
you remember me?" she asked. 1T
was down in Miami-well, I've won
another swimming championship
since I've seen you" Ii happened
that neither occupant of the car had
been in Miami for quite some time
and so they told the lady. 1t was
her turn to look surprised. 81 must
have made a mistake" she said, ap-
parently confused greatly. I'm
. sorry. But you're going my way,
may | ride along a few blocks with
you? I'm upset-really I am"
As the car continued 70 roll up
town she recovered her cOmposure
and was inclined TO treat the whole
matter as a joke. Finally she ex-
tended an invitation TO visit her
apartment and have drink. Her
technique was excellent but her in
vitatiOn was refused. AT the next
traffic stop she got out and took up
her station on the corner. In an
other instance, the car owner, rec
ognizing the racket at once, ordered
his chauffeur to stop the car and
assist the woman out. But she didn't
wait for assistance.
Henry f. Tudor. who was former

incident in an amusement park zoo,
OF which he was the manager, In
Glasgow. Scotland. Among the ami
mails was a gentle Indian elephant
known as Paul One Saturday aft
ernoon, Tudor received a hurry call
and found Paul in wild rage. The
big animal was pacifed only with
the greatest difficulty. Investigation
disclosed the fact that a visitor had
fed him a bun in which there was
a large needle. Two of the keep
ers had seen man who had acted /.
suspiciOusly and Tudor ordered
them 10 keep watch. Bat nothing
happened during the rest of the
season.

NIGHTSTICK TO BE USED SPARINGLY
Judge MascOlO Condemns Habit of Hitting Prisons
 CTS on the Head TELLS POLICE TO
 PICK OTHER SPOTS Appearance of M a n in Court To-day Called
 Forth Criticism

A warning against the practice of clubbing prisoner over the head with nightstiek was voiced from the bench of police court to- day by Judge Edward Mascolo, who was moved to comment frank ly by the appearance of battered victim of polieeman's attack. The accused. William Truplian, 41, Of 248 Cherry street, was given a suspended sentence on the charge of intoxieation. a suspended sen- tence for breach of the peace and was discharged on the accusation of resisting.
 "A. policeman should be ashamed of himself for hitting any man over the head with club. There Is always the possibility of perman- ent injuries resulting from such treatment. There is the stomach, the legs and arms and other parts of a mans body to which club can be applied effectively to sub due q prisoner, but there is rarely any necessity of an officer batter ing mans head to insure his arrest" remarked Judge Mascolo.
 While thero will be members of the police department who will dis agree with Judge Mascolo and will argue that self defense knows Inc soft spot' for an attack. the state. ments of the court today would in. dicate that in future instances oi clubbing the Judges sympathy vii be for the prisoner.
 l Trupllan was arrested about 1:0t | o'clock this morning on Cherr, street. He was intoxicated and per sisted in returning to his old board ing house to express his opinion O. its owner and inmates. Wher placed under arrest he gave tho officer q battle and landed in tho cell room in need of repairs.
 Court records will substantiate the claim that only few cops use their nightsticks without mercy and on every occasion. The majority of members of the local depart. ment use their fists or their strength to persuade an unruly prisoner. 1t Is apparent that Judge ] Mascolo referred to the few coys who favor the principle of "sock- ing" first and then filing charge | of resigtence.

BRONX DEMOCRATS BACK M'KEE FOR
 NEW YORK MAYOR
Break With T a m m any Formally Made Today
 Is Severe Setback

Now York, Oct 5-UP)-The election hopes of Tammany hall suffered a severe set back today when the Bronx county democratic organization broke completely with tho Curry Mccooey leadership to announce its support of the ticket headed by Joseph V. Mckee for mayor.
 Tho unprecc ented action by the Bronx committee was directed by Edward J. Flynn, the local poll. tician closest to the Roosevelt ad- mininstration. In statement Flynn said tho critical condition of the citys credit had caused the pub lie to lose faith in the Tammany primary candidates although the candidates were honorable men,"
 The break apparently was no surprise to Tammany since leader John Curry already has started to build up n Bronx organization to further the candidacy of Mayor John P. O'Bricn. The failure of the Flynn group to indorse the cnndi- dacy of Maldwin Fertig as candl- date for democratic president of the board of aldermen was less an- ticipated.
 Tammany had counted on Fer tig's indorscment because of his membership in the Bronx organi- zation and tho fact his selection had been accepted at a concilia- tory gesture toward the state and national administrations.

 Southport, N. C., Oct 5.-(UP)- Commander Richard E. Byrd's Ant arctic expedition boat, the Bear, was making for the harbor to-day while the coast guard cutter Mo- doc, from Wilmington, rushed to the Bears aid.
 Oak Island coast guard station reported the Bear was 12 miles at sea and would dock here about 11:30 a. m.
 It was not known here whether the Bear was in distress. but it was heading for Southport to escape an approaching tropical storm.
