HAROLD JENKINS. MAY ASK FOR TROOPS TO PROTECT WORKERS ON THE WATERFRONT Longshoremen's Strike Has Tighter Grip Than Ever on Shipping. The grip of the pier strike tightened on the harbor's shipping again today. Local 791, the big Chelsea organization, voted down a proposal to return to work yesterday and this morning dock workers who had been dribbling back 'to the South Brooklyn piers during the past few days did not report for work. Private companies are considering an appeal for troop protection.

At the offices of the United States Shipping Board, 45 Broadway Manhattan, it was learned that the Government would revoke the charters the rebellious locals if they persisted in the wholesale desertion of the docks, on which thousands of tons of foodstuffs are waiting to be moved. The Army Supply Base was tied up early today by the new defection of longshoremen. At the Port of Embarkation headquarters in Hoboken, the offer to protect pier men with armed guards was renewed. Soldiers are being held care for incoming and outgoing transports. The piers of the United Fruit Company, on the East River, are under police protection.

The company has kept an open shop and hag been able to load and unload its ships during the strike. Elsewhere today's tieup is as complete as during last week's crisis. Food Administrator Arthur Williams announced that an actual shortage in perishable foodstuffs threatened, unless the longshoremen could be persuaded to concede a point and move the city's necessities. This they have repeatedly refused to do. Keenest disappointment at the result of the Chelsea local's vote failed to shake the National Adjustment Commission in its determination to stand behind its award of a 5-cent per hour increase.

T. V. O'Connor, president of the International Longshoremen's Association, again declared that if the longshoremen tinued out. under no circumstances need they look for sanction from the union. Gates to the Brooklyn piers were thronged with idle longshoremen throughout the day.

According to officials of Local 808: the police met men on their way to work this morning and drove them away. The police retort that the men showed up at the docks but hung around, refusing to work. Gerlando Vinnicca, 43, of 61 Central was arrested today by Detective Clair of the Butler st. precinct, at 3d ave. and Sackett charged with the violation of the Sullivan law.

Vinnicca told Magistrate Short in the 5th ave. court that he was carrying the .32 revolver found in his pocket for his own protection. He was held on $500 bail for the Court of Special Sessions. Several Hundred Ships Tied Up. Several hundred ships are tied up in port.

Yesterday 19 were able to slip away from the strike, tangle, but only two of them carried cargoes. Incoming freighters are being directed to proceed on up the Hudson to anchor off Grant's Tomb. 2 ASSAULTED BY STRIKERS Two laundry employees were severely beaten and stabbed early this morning by a gang of eight strikers. Bernard Greenberg of 673 Marcy ave. and Joseph Eisenberg of 1849 Fulton employed as wagon drivers by the Cascade Laundry, were set upon by the strikers, who were riding in a big touring car, at Fulton st.

and Vanderbilt ave. The assailants were arrested and arraigned in the Flatbush Court before Magistrate Steers on charges of assault in the third degree and disorderly conduct. They were put 111- der bail for examination Tuesday. Eisenberg was stabbed in the neck. The names of the prisoners are Harry Davidoff, 79 Bartlett Samuel Arigo, 9 E.

1st Joseph Virra, 228 Elizabeth Charles Mano, 544 W. 43d Joseph Sarseno, 245 Elizabeth Angelo Ricco, 9 Prince Peter La Dico, 197 Elizabeth all of Manhattan, and John Costa of 486 Carroll st. TO STERILIZE SHELLFISH Lovers of oysters and shell food need have no further fear that these foods will poison them if a new system of shellfish sterilization being temporarily put into practice by the Health Department proves successful. Dr. Royal S.

Copeland, Health Commissioner, yesterday granted a tempopermit to the Certified Shell Fisheries, at Ruffle Bar, to experiment in shellfish sterilization. Dr. Copeland explained today that, under ordinary conditions; oysters which were taken out of Jamaica Bay before Dec. 1 must be allowed to float in the waters of St. John's Bay, or some other stream containing pure water, for seven days at a temperature lower than 50 degrees to insure the destruction of contaminating germs.

Under the new system the shellfish are allowed to remain twenty-four hours in a huge tank at Ruffle Bar in purified sea water under violet rays. This treatment, it is said, sterilizes them. Sue Courthouse Contractor The United States, Cork Flooring Company, which furnished the noiseless floor for the courtrooms in Brooklyn's remodeled Courthouse, has brought suit against the P. J. Carlin Construction Company, the general contractors, to recover $4,992, balance alleged due on a total bill of something over $24,000.

The Carlin Company, in its answer, declares that the amount asked is not due because it was entitled to turn back the unused portion of the material, consisting 5,000 feet of surface at 50 40 cents a foot, and 2,100 of base at cents a square foot. The Carlin Company also asks for $288 for work it did in keeping the flooring in repair while the workmen were still in the place. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. BAKER- F. Baker of 51 Grand Elmhurst.

In Case of Death Call "Columbus 8200" "THE CHURCH' CAMPBELL (Non -Sectarian) Broadway at 66th Manbattan Downtown Office, 23d St. 8th Av VORONOFF WOULD GRAFT GLANDS FROM THE DYING ON BODIES OF THE LIVING Paris, Oct. 18-Dr. Serge Voronoff, who claims he can postpone old age by grafting interstitial glands, points out in an article in the Journal today that the internal secretion of glands, such as the thyroid and suprarenal continue alive for three hours after the death of the body, and, therefore, advocates that bodies of young an and healthy persons killed in accidents. should be rushed to special hospitals, where patients are suffering from curable maladies.

He says the grafting glands, could be grouped and put storage, where they can be kept indefinitely. "Unfortunately," writes Dr. Voronoff, "prejudices and law now prevent this. Our secular customs require that our perishable bodies be consigned to the. earth, where they slowly and uselessly are consumed." LO AND 10 CENT MAN HAD STOLEN GOODS Rosby Convicted of Receiving Purloined Underwear Must Restore Truckman's Loss.

Max Rosby, owner of a 5 and 10 cent store at 3295 Fulton was found today in the County Court of criminally receiving stolen goods by a jury before Judge Dike. He was remanded until Monday for. sentence. Rosby was charged with having procured a quantity of stolen underwear from Harry Broder, who is now se serving time in Elmira for stealing the merchandise and to have kept them.in the basement of the store, knowing that they had been stolen. The value of the entire amount stolen was $1,650.

The goods were stolen from a truck belonging to James O'Neill, an old truckman of 93 Thompson Manhattan, who made good the loss to the shippers, and was driven out business and practically made penniless by the theft. There' is now good chance that he will recover his loss, as it is believed that the only grounds that any leniency will be shown to Rosby will be that the latter makes good O'Neill's loss. Rosby's defense was that the bought the underwear at a public sale. HETTY GREEN NOT RESIDENT Affirming his previous conclusion, despite a reversal of same by Division of the Supreme Court, Surrogate Fowler today handed down a decision, holding that the late Mrs. Hetty Green was a non-resident of this State and that her estate is not subject to the transfer tax, except the comparatively small tax that is due as a non-resident.

LEGION PROTESTS OPERA IN GERMAN Distribute Circulars Registering Opposition to Monday Night Performance. The slogan, "German opera shall not be sung in New York," was repeated again and again in Wall Street today when circulars printed in black letters, signed "American Legion," and headed in bold-faced type, "The Germans Murdered Our Boys," were circulated freely.

MAY, 118 Schermerhorn st. 17-2 District Attorney Harry E. Lewis replied last night to the charge that he had failed to get after food profiteers and hoarders in Brooklyn. In a speech delivered at Invincible Club, .73 Herkimer Republican organization in the 17th A. Mr.

Lewis, who is on the Republican the accusation, with being 'himself ticket for re-election, taxed Representative John B. Johnston, who made a profiteer. He said, in part: "I know if this campaign lasted 1dng enough that my opponent would finally have to talk upon some matter in which there was some law inVolved, and I have waited patiently for that time, for I knew as soon as he began to discuss a matter of law he would demonstrate clearly to the public how unfitted he was by experienee and training to hold the office to which he aspires. My attention has. been called to a statement in last night's paper to the effect that he has seen fit to resort to vituperative remarks with references to the conduct of the district attorney's office, referring to profiteering.

In his statement he says that when he is district attorney he will. prosecute profiteering. His statement is intended to mislead the Brooklyn people, or else it displays his utter lack of knowledge of the laws of this State. There is no law which deals with profiteering. The Governor of this State reof cently called all the district attorneys the State to Albany.

"That conference was called for the purpose of considering suggestions to deal with the high cost of living and for the purpose of working out some method by which profiteering could be prevented. The district attorneys of the State--Democratic and. Republican alike--agreed that there was no statute on our books which makes profiteering a crime. Not only is there no State law to punish profiteering, but my opponent must know that recently Congress was urged to pass a Federal law with teeth in it which could properly deal with profiteering. It may be interesting to the Brooklyn public to know that my opponent.

who now babbles about profiteering was, after his election. to. Congress, a profiteer himself. He was president 'of the All-Package Grocery Stores Company, selling the necessaries of life to the people of this borough and elsewhere." Congressman Johnston spoke at the Jefferson Club in. the 5th A.

D. and the Mohawk Democratic Club in the 14th, reiterating his charges. Johnston Replies. Answering District Attorney Lewis in respect to action against food profiteers, Representative John B. Johnston, his Democratic opponent, said today: "The answer of Mr.

Lewis to my charges that he has made repeated promises to prosecute profiteers only to fail to take action against then is an admission that he has neglected to indict, convict or even inconvenience a single profiteer during the nearly four years he has been District Attorney, "I have pointed out the law and showed how a real District Attorney in another county sent jail thirteen profiteers who conspired to control the price of poultry. "He says I am a profiteer because Mr. James J. Sullivan, a client of my office, bought the assets of the All Package. Grocery Company, a ware corporation.

To dispose of these assets he incorporated a. New York corporation under 'the same name with the added, and sold of the property of this company as public auction. He dissolved the assets, liquidated the company and wound up the business." $207,000 NOW RAISED $207,000 of the $415,000, New York State's part of the Pilgrim Fund of $5,000,000, has been raised. This fund is being raised by the Congregationalists as a part of their 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. One-half of New York's part has already been subscribed and the canvass has only been completed in three of the 10 districts into which the State has been divided.

In three up-state districts the amount aimed at was the amount received more than $48,000. The Binghamton church wanted has pledged $9,000, with more to come. This is the report which comes from all of the churches canvassed. The canvass will be made in Brooklyn and Greater New York during November. The amount that New York City Congregationalists expect is $225,000.
