A youth of 16 was shot and almost instantly killed and two other persons were shot and badly injured last night as the result of what the police allege to have been a bootleggers' quarrel. The dead youth, Goodman Diamond of 205 Seigel had just registered at the Brooklyn Evening High School returning home with his brother, Louis. They saw a crowd about two men engaged in a fist fight and stopped to watch it. Suddenly one of the contestants pulled a revolver and fired at his opponent. There were three reports and three different persons were hit by the flying bullets.

Young Diamond dropped with a bullet under his heart. Leonard Klotz, 28, of 229 Cook received a bullet in his right hip, and Albert Camero, 18, of 215 Varet spectator, was shot in the right chest. According to the police, Klotz was engaged in a fist fight with Salvatore Piazzo, 22, of 177 Boerum st. The men were battling at Bushwick ave. and Varet when, it is alleged, Piazzo drew a .38 caliber revolver and started shooting.

According to the police Piazzo and Giuseppe Geloso, 35, of 177 Boerum were in restaurant at 403 Bushwick and upon coming out met Klotz. An altercation folowed and itl is alleged that Piazzo struck Klotz and knocked him down. Klotz, it is alleged, went away and returned a short while later with some friends. The fight was then resumed, and, as Klotz was apparently besting Piazzo, it is alleged that someone told Piazzo to "pull his gun." Piazzo then pulled the weapon and the shooting followed. Piazzo and Geloso fled and were men dashed down Varet st.

to Humfollowed a by a crowd. The pursued boldt, where a man impeded their progress. He was quickly joined by Policeman Coulter of the Stagg st. station, who arrested the pair. Detectives Hemmendinger and Robert Ferris.

who were passing by in a machine, also aided in the arrest. Both men were taken to the Essex st. station, where they were questioned by Capt. Carey. With District Attorney Ruston and Assistant District Attorney Hurley he started an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Capt. Carey said that the shooting was the result of a bootleggers' feud. Klotz and Camero are in St. Catherine's Hospital. The latter is the more seriously injured of the two.

Piazzo was identified as the gunman Louis Diamond and both Klotz and Camero. Klotz refused to make any statement to the police regarding the cause of the fight. Piazzo was charged with homicide and Geloso is also held in connection with the shooting. Piazzo and Geloso were arraigned before Magistrate Liota in the Bridge Plaza court today. The former was held without bail for an examination on Sept.

20. Geloso was charged with felonious assault and held in $2,500 bail for examination on the same day. Assemblyman Charles L. Sasullo, attorney for Piazzo, had him examined by a dictor, who found the prisoner suffering from bruises on the head, face and body. The funeral of young Diamond will take place this afternoon with interment in Mt.

Sinai Cemetery. The boy's mother is in a New York hospital convalescing from an attack of typhoid and has not been told her son's death. Small Mouse Eats Covering Off Candy, But Refuses Filling Rodent Enjoys Self With Luncheon of Young Lady's Candy, Apron and Paper. A most peculiar feat was performed last evening by a small domestic mouse at Far Rockaway. A young lady whose name we have been requested not to mention placed a box of candy in her desk before going home.

She locked the drawer of the desk and left the building. However, upon opening the desk this morning she found that her candies had furnished a mouse with a most delightful meal. The mouse gnawed a hole into the box and then proceeded to eat all the chocolate off the candies. When he reached the inside of the candies he found them to contain peppermint and then stopped. He went to each piece and ate the covering off leaving only the peppermint filling.

After dining on several of the sweets he went to another part of the desk where he gnawed a hole in 8 canvas apron. Finding the apron 10 be an unusually dry piece of food he nibbled for a time at some paper and finally at a blotter. Having satisfied his appetite in the desk the mouse moved on to a desk where there were a few papers. He ate a little of these and evidently being unable to locate any further edible object. returned to his home which thus far the young lady has been unable to locate.

However, she promises not to set a trap for the little fellow unless he hope he keeps away from the desk for "gets too fresh." For his own a sake I a while at least. E. A. 0. IN MEMORIAM BERRY--In loving memory of our dearly beloved daughter and sister, NADINE M.

Box A-182, Eagle Omoe. Love? Yes; Obey? No, May Be Episcopal Brides' Vow Portland, Sept. word "obey" has retreated a step in the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States and if it falls twice more before proponents of the feminist movement, the Episcopal brides of 1925 will have to go along into married life without it. It suffered its first rout yesterday in the House of Bishops at the general convention and now it goes before the House of Deputies. Defeated there, it still may make a last stand before the general convention three years hence.

This moot word had it defenders, but they were overwhelmed. "Anybody who has had experience," said Bishop J. R. Winchester, of Arkansas, "knows that this promise makes for solidarity of the family." "FATHER BILL" DALY MUST PAY WIFE $400 A MONTH AS Children to Be With Mother. Horseman Must File $5,000 Bond to Guarantee Alimony.

Justice Benedict in Supreme Court today awarded a decree of separation to Mrs. Ella L. Daly from her husband, William C. (Father Bill) Daly, the veteran turfman, custody of five of their children and alimony at the rate of $400 a month. In the decree it is provided that the five children who will be with Mrs.

Daly may visit their father not more than eight times in each month and for not more than five hours at a time, except that the schedule may be changed the event of sickness or for some other cause. Father Bill must file a bond of $5,000 to guarantee the payment of alimony, and if he fails to do that the court will appoint a receiver of his property and sequester enough of it to pay Mrs. Daly. Until he filed the bond or the receiver is appointed, Daly is restrained from transferring or conveying any of his valuable real estate holdings. This provision is the result of the finding of Referee Milton Hertz that Daly, without reason, had neglected some of his properties, apparently in an effort to bring about foreclosure proceedings and thus make it impossible for his wife to collect her allowance.

Mrs. Daly, who lives at 365 Ocean charged her husband, who is more than 70 years of age, with extreme cruelty and said he had been harsh and brutal to some of their children. Daly lives at 95 Linden ave. with one of the children. STILL EXPLOSION CAUSES $4,000 FIRE A still of 40-gallon capacity exploded in the home of Moretto Matteo, at 198 Graham yesterday afternoon, and caused a fire which resulted in some $4,000 damage to the building.

The policeman's face and hands were burned his uniform damaged by the flames. After the firemen had extinguished the blaze the still was discovered and confiscated. The police also seized 25 cans apparently containing alcohol, several demijohns and a large number of bottles.

Matter disappeared during the fire, but was later found and arrested on a charge of having violated the Mullan-Gage law. CONDUCTOR, THROWN FROM HIS CAR, DIES Conductor John Curley, 28, of 4815 4th was thrown from the running board of a West End trolley car a few minutes before 1 this morning, when it ran into a motor bus owned by Frank Mergelia of 512 W. 42d Manhattan, and operated by Alfonso Demuro of 209 W. 35th Manhattan.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signature of the hit Bishop "Not Charles between P. partnersion, of returned Chicago. "Obedience is relation between parent and child." Bishop Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee arose to the defense of Bishop Winchester, but Bishop James H. Darlington of Harrisburg came back with the retort that the word was out of date.

"This to country is the only one in the world where this old form of promise remains," said Bishop Darlington. He called it "medieval phraseology." The advocates of the word lost, 36 to 27. Another debated section of the marriage ceremony was the phrase "with my worldly goods I thee endow." The argument advanced by either side brought out some dissatisfaction with the wording and the bishops passed the matter on to a commission for study.

BROOKLYN WIFE, SUING, GETS CUSTODY OF SON (Special to The Eagle.) Goshen, Sept. 13-Supreme Court Justice A. H. Seeger of Orange County has just granted an order to Mrs. William Lewis of Brooklyn, allowing her the custody of her 7-year-old son pending the outcome of a trial of a divorce suit she has brought against her husband, William Lewis of Newburgh.

Mrs. Lewis, who recently sued for a divorce, asked $40 a week alimony. She had possession of their son, William Lewis but the husband took the child away from her. GIRL WHO ABANDONED BABY IS SET FREE BY A JURY A jury yesterday after deliberating a little more than three hours over the evidence submitted in the case of Leah Silver, the young woman charged with having abandoned her 16-months' old baby in a Coney Island swamp last July, announced a verdict of not guilty. Yesterday, under the questioning of her attorney, Julian Carabba, the girl said that she had paid a chauffeur 35 to find a home for her daughter.

Ho had driven her to a remote part of Brooklyn, taken the child from the cab and left the mother sitting inside. A short time later he returned and said everything was settled. The mother never left the cab, according to her story to the jury yesterday. This was a complete reversal of the story she told at Coney Island. During the summations of lawyers she fainted and was carried from the courtroom.

EUROPE IN CHAOS, FIRUSKI DECLARES; BANKING PRECARIOUS Brooklynite Back from Tour Abroad Describes Conditions. Roused by Cox's Speech. Louis L. Firuski, head of the Pioneer Storage Warehouse, described conditions in Europe as "chaos" today, following his return from abroad on the French liner Paris Saturday. "A banker," said Mr.

Firuski, "made the following statement to me, which speaks very plainly and vividly of just how they feel over there. He said the banking situation can be compared to volcano; we are all sitting on top of it without any idea as to just when it may blow up. The French people that I came in contact with, and whom I made it my business to sound on various questions, seem to me to be filled with fear as to what may happen. Business men are complaining bitterly. I saw a shop well crowded with what apparently were customers.

When I spoke to one of the men in charge he told me that it was a case of buying pins and needles and spool cotton, that the natives were not buying anything except necessities and then in limited form. Politics Complex. "The political situation is said by experts to be very complex, and with no definite measures decided upon affecting any interest other than security for the payment of reparations on the part of Germany. The populace is solidly behind Poincaire; they have great faith in his judgment and demands. They believe that France should take advantage of every opportunity to protect itself against defiance in reparations, ani I feel quite sure that by the time this question is finally settled it will be found that security will have been obtained by France for the settlement of the debt; and I doubt very much if it will go through any other way.

"One thing that aroused my interest more than a little was a speech which Governor Cox made at a concert on the Paris the day before we landed. He made this statement, which is quoted verbatim: 'The United States has broken faith with every European country in that it failed to keep its contracts, while England has splendidly kept "This statement gave me an awful shock, and I felt as though it should not go by To me it was a slur upon our country, and I felt that some reply might be in order, and in speaking to several of the prominent men on the ship they said that the same speech had been made by the Governor all through Europe; had only heard of it in London. "I heard of any number of experiences from travelers concerning the entry and the departure from one country into another. In many instances travelers were searched even to the extent of having been stripped. I also heard of an incident where goods which had been purchased in Germany when reaching the French border had been entirely confiscated: sent while in through another in bond instance to the they port were gen departure where the owner might claim them when leaving the country.

I also he heard of a case where a man purchased a a German automobile and before bringing it into France was requested to pay a 118 percent duty which would also be refunded at the port from which the machine would be shipped. Some people came through without any molestations whatsoever, while others suffered all sorts of inconveniences on the borders both from France into Germany and vice versa. Income Taxes Abroad. "I heard much talk in England concerning the cancellation of war debts and from an economical standpoint the Englishman believes it would be most helpful to the United States and trade here general. England seems to be in a very sound financial condition, inasmuch as she has been imposing a very heavy income tax and has been collecting it, whereas France, on the other hand, has imposed a tax, but has not been at all successful in collecting.

I was informed by a man in touch with the situation that there is a budget deficit in France of seventy-one billion francs at the present time. So one can draw their own conclusions as to just how hard it will be up before they can plan to go ahead." was a pitiful thing to witness exhibit, of merchandise that had been purchased in various German cities at ridiculous prices. For instance, a covert English cloth overcoat, made to order, silk lined, was purchased by a friend of mine for $9. Shoes, made to order, a good solid pair at that, were purchased for $2.25. Furs seemed to have great attractions for the women folks.

Coats that appeared to have an American value of from $300 to $500 were purchased for $40 to $50, and everything else in the same ratio. The shops in all the German cities, I am given to understand, are stripped of merchandise, the shelves are bare, with the result that the reaction naturally is affecting the native poor most disastrously. "In Austria, I am given to understand, food prices had mounted to the sky. The last week of August one could obtain 75,000 kronen for $1. Just picture it! This coin had a prewar value of 20 cents apiece." SCOUT EXECUTIVES MEET.

Eleven employees of the concern were injured by falling walls, none seriously. A dust explosion occurred shortly before midnight and flames spread quickly to all parts of the building. Every fire fighting apparatus in the city was sent to the scene, but firemen were kept at a distance by a series of boiler explosions, which reduced the walls of the structure to a mass of ruins. Most of the efforts of the firemen were turned to protecting other property nearby.
