Numbers Setup
Fifth Witness Also
Facing Coll Today
In Crime Probe

The numbers writing organiza-
tion controlled by Roger (White-
top Simkins came under further
study today by the special Dis
trict grand jury investigating orr
ganized crime. L.
The jurors this morning queS-
toned four persons and planned
to call a fifth for long afternoon
session.
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan declined to divulge the
identity of the afternoon witness
before his appearance.
One of those questioned this
morning was Nathaniel Y. Taylor,
colored. of the 1400 block of Cor
corarl street NV, who clammed
up before the Neely Senate Crime
Investigating Committee last
month after signing sworn state
ment about his own numbers ac-
tivity.
Told Of .Tce" Sheets.
In his statement to the Senate
investigating staff, Taylor men
toned of "ice" sheets, which is a
gamblers term for police payoff
records. Taylor said he had been
working for Orian T. Whiting and
said Whiting was turning in
money to the Simkins organize
ton
Mr.. Irelan said the grand jury
also would question Jacqueline
Terry, colored, of the 1000 block
of Euclid street NV, who also
became q reluctant witness at the
Senate hearings after she had
signed a statement about her
participation in the numbers busi-
ness.
Miss Terry's mother was among
those called before the grand jury
today. She is Mrs. Hazel Terry.
A third witness was Siberia Gray,
colored, and the other person was
Charles Anderson, colored. The
latter declined to tell reporters
the nature of the questioning. He
said the publicity might not do
him any good.
Simkins Refused to Talk.
According to Arnold Bauman,
counsel for the Senate crime COM
mite, the Simkins racket crossed
at least SIS million a year at the
peak.
Simkins was called before the
probers at the Capitol but stood
on his constitutional rights, refuS-
ing to answer most questions on
grounds that he might incrimi-
nate himself.
Subsequently, the Senators rec
commended that he be cited for
contempt. Similar action was
taken in the case of Emmitt War

minister Hall in 124S, which lasted
a week.
Striving to Guido his predeces-
sor and give his successors some
thing to shoot at, Henry VIII kept
one Yuletide at which the cost of
gold cloth that was used amounted to
600 pounds alone. He had tents
erected and artificial gardens
plotted within the spacious hall of
his palace. Knights came out of
the tents to ioust in tournaments
and Enthusiastically dressed dancers,
covered from head to foot with gay
ribbon streamers, emerged from
the gardens to entertain the guests
Preparation for the feasting on
such occasions is perfectly appall-
ing to epicures of the Goth century
and can only be vaguely compre-
hended by considering that Rich
ard II normally employed 1000
cooks to prepare food for the 10, 900
persons who dined-irrespective of
special feasting - at his expense
every day.

the lords received gifts from their
tenants and kings received gifts
from their mobiles; and the gradu-
ated scale for giving and receiving
was as well ascertained as the
quiddam h%onorarium of any bar
rister or physician.
Queen Elizabeth received a large
part of her wardrobe as gifts from
her courtiers, and if the quality or
quantity was not satisfactory, the
donors were unceremoniously in
formed of the situation.
When Henry III entertained a
thousand knights, peers, and as
sorted mobiles who came to attend
the Yuletide marriage of the Prin-
cess Margaret, his majesty re-
ceived a royal Christmas gift of
1900 pounds, plus 600 fat oxen
from the Archbishop of York.
With similar assistance, whether
exhorted or given in the spirit Of
generosity appropriate to the sea-
son, his majesty could well afford
to give Christmas feasts for the
poor like the one given in West

A calendar of planned events that

Recognizing the need for a Mis-

neighborhood survey. AS a result
Sunday School was opened on
February 10th, 1907 in a farm
house at GAG East 105th st. be-
longing to Mr.. and Mrs. William
Koester. Thirty-five persons were
present and Edwin Sheppard was
named superintendent. The follow

Don Gacey, Mayfair's able and
steary pitcher lead his school by
registering five victories in as
many starts. He was in trouble
often, although his steadiness
when the chips were down really
paid off. He also led his team at
the bat.
Competitive spirit is very high
between the six schools. Between
100 and $50 people witnessed each
contest. Four Of the six schools
had girl cheerleaders who led their
rooters with organized cheers. Each
team never gave up whether they
were in the lead or training in
game. More than one game was
decided in the last inning.
League statistics are:
Jim Eismon from Superior
School was the leading hitter with
an average Of 562. Don Gacey was
second with 526; Yacabucci from
Superior had a 500 average.
Gray from Rozelle was the

Summer Safety Of
Child Is Parent
Responsibility

According to H. S. Weaver, Con-
test Representative for the Ma
tional Pedestrian Protection Con-
test sponsored by the American
Automobile Association and af-
filiated Motor Clubs, 1920 chill
dren / to Is years of age were
killed and 10000 children were in
jured. Forty percent of these ac-
cidents occurred during the vaca-
tion months of June, July and
August. Child accidents normally
increase 500 during the month of
May with warm weather allowing
the children more time outdoors
for play.
This means that parents have
serious responsibility, during this
period of the year to make addi-
tional effort to protect their chill
dren. School patrols, crossing
guards and other protection for
school children are not available
during the summer months.
The most serious increase in
child accidents was to children
playing in the streets-there was
a 27 percent increase in fatal ac-
cidents and 3,700 more children
were injured playing in the streets
in 1851 than in 1850 while the
most dangerous hours-when chill
dren are struck down by cars-are
from 5 to 8 p. m.
With the above thoughts in mind
the A.A.A. Pedestrian Contest
Representative offers the follow
ing suggestions to aid parents in
protecting their children:
Parents should make safe walk
ing habits their habits
When you are ready to cross the
street, stop at the carb and look
both ways, keeping in mind that
while you walk IL feet from the
curb car at 80 mph. travels 1872
feet.
Help your child to realize how
much space there must be be-
tween him and an approaching
car before he can safely cross.
Teach him to wait for cars to
pass and to wait for break in
traffic.
Cross at intersections, as that is
where the motorist expects you
but watch carefully for turn
ing cars.
Never step into the street from
between parked cars, your child
should be advised never to run
into the street as either Of these
acts are dangerous.
Parents must realize that darkness
