Gypsies Depart And
Everybody Is Happy
Two Tribes Bid Adieu Here Yesterday - Mt. Carmel

The hearts Of Brooklynites SWELL
ed with pity yesterday afternoon
when recent arrivals, two bands Of
gypsies, left as suddenly as they had
appeared earlier In the week. Al.
though spokesman for the tribe as.
serted they were leaving for more
fertile territory and TO o more ac-
climated region during the cold
spell, It was strange indeed, that
Deputy superintendent OF Police
Daniel ]. Carson only an hour be.
fore remarked that he heard rum
ors the band was leaving town.
When they had packed thew be-
longings and were whisked away, Il
was Deputy Superintendent Carson
who said "Well they're gone, bless
them"
Although both bands were sone-
what more quiet than usual, II was
generally believed they had not yet
become accustomed to Brooklyn and
the vicinity. One OF the groups took
up residence on North Riverside
street while the other played to the
main drag on Bank street, near the
Brooklyn branch Of the Waterbury
Savings bank.
Residents Of the immediate vicin.
ity whom II was supposed had filed
complaints, acted with injured pride
when It was rumored that the evic.
ton was brought about by order Of
the board Of health.
