COATLESS MALES
WIN DECISION
New York Magistrate Rules
collector Was Within
Rights"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 10.-The ups
and downs of men who do not choose
to wear coats in elevators are among
the inalienable Summer rights of New
York males, Magistrate Hulon Cap
shaw ruled today.
His decision, eagerly seized upon by
the supporters of the city's coterie OF
the coatless, declared that David
Alper, 26-year-old conscientious OBJ
jector to the fashion imperialism" of
an elevator starter, was not guilty of
disorderly conduct when last Tues
day he fatty refused to take service
elevator because he was not wearing
o coat.
But the insurrectionists were still
awaiting the outcome of more Seri-
Gus issue as to whether a building
management will have to peel off a
roll of bank notes to assuage an af-
front to an elevator passenger who
had peeled off his coat.
For Frank L. Dear, the day after
Alper's hot battle for GOODNESS, filed
suit for $4,000 damages against the
509 Madison avenue corporation be-
cause it allegedly insisted that coatless
men, such as he, were not fit subjects
for the gaze of other elevator pas
sengers and refused to let him take a
ride.
Magistrate CapShaw in his procla-
nation for emancipated shirt sleeves,
said that '::: people want to assemble
together in a building, which pro-
hibits use of elevators by passengers
not wearing coats, they are privileged
to do So"
To the delight of Alper's sympa-
thizers he added that going about
coatless is custom accepted in New
York"
