THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1920. 13,300 Letters From Poland Appealing for Food Reach Brooklyn in One Day's Mail Reflective of the dire straits of Poland's population is the tremendous mass of registered mail that pours daily into the main postoffice at Washington and Johnson all with the single keynote: lettered, We are starving! Send us food!" There were received today at the office of Registry Superintendent J. A. Brennan 13,300 such letters.

They come over in every ship. More are coming. They will continue to come until something is done to restore that unfortunate country to a basis of order. The letters in nearly every case bear addresses in Williamsburg. In stands on Havemeyer and adjacent streets from Grand to S.

4th sts. State Senator Daniel J. Carroll, Democratic leader of the district, and George Q. Owens, Republican leader, have been appealed to by the peddlers to use their influence with the captain have let up, but Captain McAuley, is an old time officer, has gone ahead with his duties. The retiring policemen, it is Banks said, are getting good positions.

Manhattan are particularly anxious for their services because of the many recent robberies and hold-ups of messengers, and the policemen are offered from $100 to $125 a month, which, with their pensions, will make them better off financially than they now are. In all there are about 70 policemen attached to the Bedford ave. station. GEN, HINES TAKES CHARGE OF INLAND WATERWAYS Washington, March 1-By direction of Secretary Baker, Brig. Gen.

Hines, chief of the army transport service, today assumed control over the inland waterways transportation systems, which were transferred to the jurisdiction of the War Department by the Railroad Administration. Hines announced that the same service would be maintained for the present and that he would utilize the existing organization and personnel in administering the work. A delegation of Senators and Congressmen from the M' ssissippi Valley and other sections interested in waterway traffic called on Secretary Baker today to request that present facilities be maintained and extended and that railway corporations now under private operation be prevented from strangling water competition. BULGARIA DRASTIC WITH USURERS AND PROFITEERS Berne, March 1-Usurers, blackmailers and profiteers are being placarded and marched in chains through the streets and market places of Bulgarian cities, according to advices received here. This exposure, which recalls the mediaeval pillory, is said to be producing good results.

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY. Charged with burglary, William Regenfeld, 18 years old, 200 Manhattan was today arrested by Detective Carroll, of the Stagg st. police station. It was alleged that the youth forced an entrance into the clothing store of Joseph Mazzicke, 391 Lorimer some time on Saturday night and carried off goods worth $200. OVERCOME BY GAS.

Mrs. Amanda O'Nell, aged 75 years, was found overcome by gas this morning in her rooms at 82 2d st. There was a leak in a rubber tube conveying gas to a stove. Mrs. O'Neil was taken an ambulance in a serious condition to the M.

E. Hospital. DIPHTHERIA TESTS ARE SUCCESSFUL Education Department Reports Schick Method of Immunizaand Owner of Hotels. Although the test was applied to only twenty-one schools Greater New York in the past year, officials the Division of Educational Hygiene of the Department of Physical Education stated today that the results of the Schick test had proven satisfactory in locating diphtheria and that they favored extending the experi- ment. Five Brooklyn and two Queens schools were among those in which the test was applied and the total number of pupils who received the test was 4,325.

Of this number many were naturally immune from the disease and 1,574 of those not immune were immunized by the treatment. There were 2,401 injections made. Some pupils needed two injections and 777 were immunized by only one inJection. The test was made by the voluntary consent of the parents, the officials stated, and only when this consent was received was the child subjected to the diphtheria antitoxin injection. Questioned as to whether they favored making the test compulsory, as is done in the case of smallpox, the officials in charge declared that they would not.

advocate this at present, but they and then if the results achieved bore were a in favor of extending the test, them out they would recommend such action to the Board of Education. They did not go on record, however, as favoring immunizing. According to Dr. Harris, in the Schick test a minute and harmless quantity of diphtheria serum is injected to provoke reaction the body to manufacture its own immune substance. The only harmful effects that have been observed have occurred in I rare cases and have been a swelling and redness of the skin around the point of injection.

According to the Health Department. if the test is extended they feel confident that diphtheria cases can be greatly minimized and made about as searce as smallpox cases are at present. Dr. Louis I. Harris, director of the Bureau of Preventable Diseases: Dr.

S. Josephine Baker, director of the Bureau of Child Welfare, and Dr. William H. Park are the committee appointed by Health Commissioner Royal S. Copeland to develop and establish the application of the test.

Dr. Harris stated that his opinion the 10 percent of the 12,000 recognized cases of diphtheria annually reported to the department which die despite the dependence of antitoxin, is unnecessary, for by means of the Schick test children predisposed to the disease can be picked out and made immune practically for life. He said the ordinary antitoxin immunizes for a few weeks at a time. The decision to apply the test generally was arrived at after more than five years of experimentation, it was explained. Groups of children of different localities were inoculated and those in charge declare that it was demonstrated beyond a doubt that the test had proven.

a success. fact, they, are almost solely limited to residents of the Bedford ave. precinct, where the Poles have a settlement that grows weekly, it seems. And the answer to the letters is the ever-growing stream of parcels post packages that goes out. Bacon, pork sugar, chocolate, beans, oleomargarine, candy--those things they lack Poland--are to be found amone the gifts of happy Williamsburg-Poland to unhappy Poland.

So great are the demands that Postmaster Walter C. Burton has assigned several extra clerks to help the men in Superintendent Brennan's division. The rush began several weeks ago and is continuing. No ship that arrives carrying mail from Poland is without its consignment of Brooklyn letters, all asking for help. SISTER WANTS YOU, MISS ALMA DEMME They Were Separated 19 Years Ago in Newark--May Be in Brooklyn.

(Special to The Eagle.) Newark, N. March 1-Separated mi nineteen years ago when both were infants, Miss Lena Demme, of 111 Isabella Newark, is seeking her sister Alma, who she thinks lives somewhere in Brooklyn. Alma was adopted by a family named -that's all the information Lena has about her and the last word heard of the family was that they were in Brooklyn. Alma is in her 20th year. The Demme family was broken up when parents, Mr.

and Mrs. George Demme, died in Newark in 1901. Lena, then two years old, was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Glutting, of Elizabeth.

Alma went with four the Jacobs family. There were others, Theresa, Hilda, George and Hugo. Only last week Hugo, who had joined the navy years ago, returned to Newark and Lena met him for the first time, least it was the first time within her memory, for she could not recall that he held her in his arms when she was an infant. Theresa is married and resides at 232 Chestnut Newark, and George works in a bakery in Newark. There.

remains only Alma. Lena began her efforts to round up brothers and sisters about a year ago. During her childhood days she believed Mr. and Mrs. Glutting were her own parents, but a few years ago she learned from outside sources of her adoption, and a strong desire to find her sisters and brothers started her on the search.

She heard that Alma lived in Elizabeth and in Hoboken before her foster. parents moved with her to So if any one who reads this should happen to know where Alma is, or has any information concerning her, they will make Lena happy by sending the information to her.

Smith today wrote a letter to Monica Barry Walsh, executive director of the American Land Service, 32 W. 47th Manhattan, indorsing the purposes of that new organization, which will mobilize seasonal industrial workers from the cities during their vacations for farm work. The American Land Service, which has the support of many prominent men and women, already received requests from farmers. in New York, Connecticut.

SAYS MAN STRUCK HER Mrs. Etta Ehrlich of 63 Turner Manhattan, appeared with a swollen face before Magistrate Dale in the Flatbush police court yesterday.

With her was John Rilatt, 23, of 5805 13th under arrest. While looking at a house in the vicinity of E. 8th st. and Ave. D.

Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ehrlich complained, young Rilatt approached her, found out that she had $70 on her person, and then struck her in the face and ran. When she recovered from the blow her purse with the $70 was gone. Patrolman William Jenny of the Parkville station arrested Rilatt. The handbag with the money was recovered.

Magistrate Dale held Rilatt for examination on a charge of grand larceny. WOULDN'T DOLL UP; BEATEN.

It was alleged that several disptes have occurred because the wife refused to "doll up" and use face powder and cosmetics. J.

SCHMIDT OPPOSES WIFE'S ALIMONY PLEA "Joe" Schmidt, manager of the Imperial Restaurant, through his attorney, Robert H. Elder, today opposed a plea for alimony made by his wife, Valerie, pending trial of the suit for annulment he has brought against her, before Justice Kapper in the Supreme Court and made a vigorous attack on her answer denying that she had been previously married. Lawyer Elder told Justice Kapper that prior to her marriage to Schmidt, Mrs. Schmidt had joined in a real entate do deed with Johann Mosle, her former husband, and that when her daughter, Dorothea Mosle, now 28 years old, was baptized, the present Mrs. Schmidt also described herself as Mrs.

Mosle. Until the present annulment suit was brought, she had never denied that she was previously Mrs. Mosle and Schmidt today made it clear that his fight to prove his wife lawfully wife of Mosle is protect her daughter, whose name is. besmirched, he declared, by his wife's denial of her previous marriage. V.rs.

Schmidt's lawyer told Justice Kapper that Johann Mosle, mentioned as her first husband, was 40 years older than Mrs. Schmidt and that he took advantage of her as a young girl when she first' came here from Europe. The row between the started last year when Schmidt opposed his wife's intention to g0 to California with her daughter. Eventually he agreed and the trip him $6,000. After the disagreement he continued to provide for her, but discontinued her "pin" money after she refused a $100 check which he her as a tottered Christmas present.

Justice Kapper reserved decision. NEED CHANGE IN EDUCATION Charles D. Atkins, director of education of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, speaking on "Education for Life Work" at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church last night, declared that the present educational gystem is an inheritance of the old culturist idea. He asserted that "during the war 25 percent of the boys in service were illiterate." Continuing, he said: "Ninety percent of the children who leave our elementary schools are compelled to go to work. They average about 14 years of age.

These facts mean that children need a different training than what they are receiving today. They must receive a cultural training in their different senses. They must be given a chance to discover their own bent." Asserting that the Gary plan is feasible, Prof. Atkins declared that children ought to be given an opportunity to test their ability to learn trades before leaving school. $15 POTATOES LIKELY IN NEAR FUTURE Fifteen dollars for a barrel of potatoes at wholesale is regarded as a strong possibility of the near future.

Produce dealers at Wallabout Market saw a $10 quotation ahead about a month ago, but this was left behind today when Long Island potatoes advanced to for a barrel containing 180 pounds, a gain of $1.50 since Saturday. Buyers balked at the added cost and turned to tubers grown upstate, and in Maine, but these varieties had also been Jacked up about 75 cents per barrel. In the majority of sales, however, the Long Island potato, despite the higher charge, was selected. It is regarded as the best for cooking and for its all around superiority, and retailers will purchase others only when the -grewn species are unavailable. It is said the prices will mount with the supplies that will come with the end of the season.

Bermuda potatoes are arriving in small quantities, but they, too, are high, commanding a little more than Long Island spuds. New potatoes from Florida will shortly make their appearance upon the market, but it will be several weeks before they are shipped in sufficient quantity to relieve the pinch that is being felt now. All grades and cuts of beef dropped a cent per pound today. Lamb fell from 5 cents to 8 cents per pound. Egga are down 67 cents per dozen for the best fresh grades.

They 'dropped 3 cents on Saturday. Butter lowered a cent to cents for i fancy table grades today. The Woman Voter A new ground for opposition to Miss Elisabeth Marbury as one of the Democratic "Big Four" has arisen in the statement that she is not a resident of the United States, having reported herself as a resident of France in a cusoms controversy two years ago. She refused to pay duties on personal property brought in, which was sustained by the Court when she explained that she was only temporarily a resident of this country. The Women Democrats of America, under the leadership of Miss Margaret Vale, are supporting Mrs.

Clarice Baright for Miss Marbury's place, and they claim that up-State women, have received recognition through the appointment of Mrs. Harriet May Mills of Syracuse, will throw their influence to Mrs. Baright. Another grievance of the women is that their first choice, represented by the votes of the women's conference, was Mrs. Elizabeth V.

Colbert, who was set aside by the convention. Mrs. William H. Good said this morning, in relation to the case of Miss Marbury: "I would not presume to pass upon the legal technicalities of the case, but I do know that Miss Marbury secured a passport to go to France as an American citizen, and that she is passionately devoted to her native land. I have worked with her in war work and have found her a 100 percent American, just the type of woman Democratic women could be proud to have as a representative.

I hope these tangles will be straightened out, as know of no other woman better fitted to represent New York State at the convention." Mrs. Walter A. Damrosch, who made her maiden speech Saturday afternoon at the testimonial given to Miss Elizabeth Collier, confessed to being a "very old fashioned woman," saying, "I have never been myself. First I was my father's daughter, next my husband's wife, and now I am known as my daughter's mother. I have often wondered what it would be like to be just myself.

That is perhaps the reason I had courage to speak here today." Miss Collier approved of the desire of Mrs. Damrosch to express her own individuality and urged her to continue. Oklahoma coming into the fold gives a total of 33 States for the ratification of the Suffrage Amendment. With only three to win the suffragists are jubilant and renewing their efforts to gain the for every woman in the United States before the fall election. The International Woman Suffrage Alliance has been shifted from Madrid to Geneva.

At first the Archbishop of Madrid refused permission to use the Royal Theateer on the ground that the movement was "unchristian and non-Catholic," but later withdrew his opposition. Then he again changed his views and permanently refused permission. Gen eva has been selected as the meeting place in May, when plans will be made to try to extend suffrage to every woman in the civilized world. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president of the suffrage organization, has appointed 11 delegates from the United States, the New York members being Mrs.

Frederick Nathan and Mrs. Halsey Wilson. A communication has been received from Mrs. James Bennett of Richmond, attacking the validity of the suffrage amendment in some tSates. She says: "When the Constitution of a State confers a right to vote for its State officers upon men alone, the members of its Legislature cannot ratify the proposed woman suffrage amendment of our Federal Constitution without violating the oaths they have taken to uphold the Constitution of the State.

The ratification of the proposed amendment would over throw that provision of the State Constitution which confers the right to vote for State officers upon me nalone, and make confer this right upon women." This is the first time this phase of the situation has been presented by a woman. How many States in the Union have such a constituional voting provision? Dr. John O'Reilly will address the League of Women oVters of the 3d A. D. tomorrow night, speaking against compulsory health insurance, at the library, Clinton and Union sts.

Miss Ella Stevens, former president of the Brooklyn Heights Seminary, was asked why she did not join a poitica cub, when sle admits being a good Democrat. Her answer was that she had not been invited, and knew nothing of the district political organizations, but would be glad to do anything she could to help the party. The number of women who attended the meeting of the Women's Democratic Compaign Committee at the home of Mrs. William H. Good, who had never taken any part in clubhouse activities, proved the assertion of many men and women that politics must have the sanction of "society" before the women, as a whole, accept an active part.

It was alleged that on last Thursday he entered the rooms of Louis Floridi, of the same address, and carried off clothing valued at several hundred dollars. He was arrested by Patrolman Royce of Herbert st.

station. Albany, Feb. 29-New York's smart set will no longer be able to enjoy illicit dinners of tasty partridge and quail acquired regardless of game laws, even at $75 per plate, if the vehement declarations of Riley, proprietor of the Arrowhead Inn; Delaney Tull, the largest poultry dealers in the city; A. Tingaud, a ct butcher, and others caught in the Conservation Commission's roundup of illegal game sellers are to be believed. "Never again," is their reaction to penalties already aggregating $2,900 within the last few weeks, and the end is not yet in sight, according to Game Protector Hanlon of the Metropolitan and Long Island Division of the Conservation Commission.

Meantime, their agent, who used to transport the birds for New York City tables from the game coverts of Rhode Island, has been spending three months in jail. It appears that the game officials of Rhode Island had for some time been shadowing a certain John Greeley, who was known to be shipping partridges and quail from that State in violation of interstate commerce laws. Upon the occasion of his last shipment, he had little suspicion, as he rode on the train which carried him and his trunk of birds to New York, that a Rhode Island game protector was sitting close to him, and that number of his trunk check, and the train upon which he was traveling, had been telephoned by Commissioner Walling of Rhode Island to the Commissioners of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. Greeley had taken the precaution to carry his birds across the State line before shipping them, which prevented his apprehension in Rhode Island. But in New Haven, he and his trunk were seized; and upon approval of the Federal With the authorities alternative he was prosecuted.

of a light sentence if he would tell all he knew, or otherwise 18 months in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Greeley gave a list of those from whom he had bought birds in Rhode Island, and said he had sold them to Delaney Tull of New York City, and to Fred W. Querien, who works for Delaney Tull, but also does some dealing on his own account. Inspector Hanlon, of the New York office of the Conservation Commission, was placed in charge of the New York prosecutions. He made settlement with Delaney Tull for $500 and with Querien for $200, both of whom admitted their guilt. The trail from Delaney Tull led to John Delamarre, a peddler, who paid $200, and from butcher, Querien the trail led to Tingaud, and to Ben Riley of the Arrowhead Inn.

Tingaud under pressure finally confessed to four separate purchases of birds, and paid $800. Ben Riley, whom the Conservation Commission has been watching for some time, admitted one purchase and made settlement for $1,000 at once. Later on, when confronted with the facts of a second purchase, he paid $200 more. Riley admitted that he had been dodging game protectors since he was a boy, but said he had never been caught before. He declared that he would never touch another bird, as the game was not worth WANTED HELP -FEMALES.
