head Of New York, head OF the
American Federation of Actors, for

Always a diplomat, quiet-spoken

objection to the unionization of va

side show on Coney Island, part OF
a varied entertainment provided by
the late Senator, William H. Rey-
nolds over course Of several years
in the middle 1905.
Since he was a boy of nine, Cum
pertz has been of the circus, be-
ginning his career as an acrobat
with the Montgomery-Queen show.
Seventeen years later, he was win
ter manager for Col. John G. Hop
kins, operator of chain of seven
teen theaters, while he helped con-
duct the Barnum and Bailey and
Buffalo Bill shows in the good old
summer time. Later came his as
sociation with Senator Reynolds at
Dreamland and he was thus en-
gagged when, as a result OF the
illness of his old friend, John Ring

circus of all.
Taking hold in the years OF de-
preston, he saw the need Of great

in the form and variety OF enter

the circus remained a going con-

Regulation Requiring Six
Month Residence.

Believing that many girls are not
availing themselves of the service Of
the Florence Crittenton Home because
OF a rule requiring them to remain
there for at least six months after
delivery Of their babies, directors OF
the institution yesterday adopted, for
trial period, new policy under
which each case will be handled in
dividually.
The directors decided that, while
they expect each patient to remain at
least three months, q girl will not be
made to remain longer unless this is
deemed necessary for complete health,
education and vocational treatment.
They emphasized, however, that
they hope each patient will stay in the
home for at least a six-month period.
They feel this is necessary from an

Members Of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board today defended their
action in reopening the case of the
application Of Joseph Shankman for
q liquor license for store at 400
Kennedy street NV. The applica-
ton had been denied three times in
the last three years.

the applicant had not been granted

Hear Arguments or Attorneys.
The A. B. c. Board met yesterday
for a Reconsideration" of the case
and to hear additional arguments by
attorneys, but board members said no
new evidence was taken. The public
was not notified of the session for
this reason, the board said.
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
A. B. c. Board, issued the following
statement today, following a visit to
the board by Senator Ashurst, Demo-
crat, Of Arizona.
Referring to statement appear
ing in Washington newspaper to
the effect that Senator Ashurst had
manifested mild interest in the ap-
plication of Joseph Shankman, who
desired Glass A license, which would
permit him to sell whisky by the bot
tie, this board takes pleasure in max
ing the statement that Senator Ash
urst has never manifested any inter-
est. mild or otherwise, in Mr.. Shank
mans application, or in any other
application, and that Senator Ashurt
has never appeared before the board
or written it letter or spoken to any
member thereof by telephone or other
wise regarding any license or any
other item"
Rival Retailers Object.
The most Of the opposition to the
petition came from other retailers in
the section who hold licenses, and
the residents of the area are said to
be divided in opinion. In its latest
decision on the case, last October Is
the board denied the application
holding that the area already wa:
sufficiently seryiced by liquor license
holders. Previously the board had
denied the permit twice, officials said
Shankman sought Class A license
which permits sale Of bottled liquol
