McLOl'GHLIN The passing a week ago of the veteran sportsman and bonlface, Patrick Roche, who ran the old Brighton Beach Hotel, brings to mind the eventful history of the hostelry, which for many years provided recreation and enjoyment Sweeney Tells How They Work the Crowd in Carnival Racket Notice That Slide? It's Latest Dancing 0 Denies She Hit Mother's Nose Tangled Reports Shed Little Light on Health' of Noted Evangelist Los Angeles, Aug. 20 W) The mystery surrounding Aimee Semple McPherson's isolation at a Malibu Beach cottage remained unsolved today as conflicting reports of illness, blindness, a face-lifting operation and a fistic encounter with her mother went unanswered by the evangelist. Guards were stationed at windows and doors of the cottage. Mrs. Mc-Pherson denied herself to all but a few while from numerous purported official sources emanated statements about her condition.

Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother of the evangelist, undergoing treatment for a broken nose which she savs her daughter gave her, Issued a de mand that Mrs. McPhcrson return to her pulpit at Angelus Temple and show her congregation "the effects of the face-lifting operation" she says the noted pastor under-went recently. Aimee Denies Assault The Examiner today said Mrs. McPherson had denied striking her mother.

The paper quoted Mrs. McPherson as follows: "I did not hit mother. I wanted to talk to her about some things he had been saying and she started to leave the room. I asked her to tay and talk to me. She threw herself on the floor and screamed and yelled, as she had done before.

Then she went away and severed all connections with the temple." Regarding her physical condition, the Examiner quoted Mrs. McPherson as saying: "I'm Just a sick girl; but I'll ba all right son." Conflict in Reports Late last night an official at the-temple announced Mrs. McPherson "was resting easily." Earlier she had been reported in a serious condition from a nervous breakdown and the board of directors of Angelua Temple asserted. "It Is true physicians are greatly concerned for her 1 recovery." Mrs. Harriet A.

Jordan, chairman of the temple board of directors, posted a bulletin in the churchyard which read "Sister McPherson is still blind. No marked improvement. Suffering greatly. Please continue earnest prayer." A few hours previously Mrs. Jordan had posted a bulletin stating her leader had suffered "a sinking spell and is near death." Doctor Denies Illness Meanwhile In the watch tower of Angelua Temple, where Mrs.

McPherson often has led her flock to pray for the ill and dying, many of her followers prayed for her recovery; Dr. Edward Huntineton Williams, nerve specialist, said Mrs. McPherson was not seriously and probably would be completely recovered within a few days. Dr. WlIMtms also refuted reports the evangelist had suffered a nervous collapse.

Mrs. Kennedy told her story of her alleged fist nirht mth her daughter to newspapermen while she rested In a sanitarium. Tha trouble started, according to Mrs. Kennedy, when her daughter accused her of talking about her and her secretary, Mae Waldron. "Aimee was wild." Mrs.

Kennedy ftaid. "We had a few words and then she came right out and accused me of talking about her. I said. 'Honey. I haven't been talking about you but I have said some things about some of your associates." Mother Tells of Fight "Things happened so quick I can't remember.

He's tall and slim, wears a derby cocked on the side of his head, and collars that are too large, together with neckties that are too small. His patent leather shoes are pin-pointed and his trousers hug the calves of his legs, sausage fashion. When we first saw Sweeney he was "barking" for a side show in Coney Island, slapping the caricature of a fat woman with a whip-like bamboo cane, his spiel rattling like machine gun bullets out of the left side of his mouth. "Inside, Inside, inside," he sang, V'Helen, th bigges' baby of 'em all six huner' an' sixty poun's in 'er stockin' feet th' bigges' thing this side 0' Lookout Mountin In Racket 20 Yean We stood by and waited while he "barked" the list the fat woman, the "half-man half woman," the "two-headed calf," the bearded lady while his cane beat a staccato on the canvas tent behind him; while, with his free hand, he shooed wrapt listeners up to the ticket booth. Then, when he swung his cane up under his arm, tilted his derby forward and relighted the butt of a cigarette, we nailed him.

"What's th' racket, brother, what's th he rattled off, and when we told him his face expanded in a warm smile. "Th" name's Sweeney, see, just Sweeney, an' I been teamln' 'em up for th' big take for goln" on 20 years big take? why, that's box office, box- office, that's what It Is. I got started in th' racket spielin' that's barkln' for Ol. Doe Ambrose, who run a medicine show out in Kansas. We was sellin' Ambrose's Elixir, for warts, dee-bility, rheumatism an' removin' spots, an' th' Doc made his big mistake sellin' a bottle t' th' sheriff's wife.

He got run outta town that was In Hiawatha an' me, I joined up with th' Sparks Circus, which was playln' town th' same day. With th' Sparks outfit I done everythin' from, butcherin' candy that's sellin' t' waterin' the bulls.

hailed as one of the most amazing bits of sleuthing in the city's history, but it is just another Job to Roche, who has provided numerous sensational exposures since he joined the Chicago police force as a patrolman 13 years ago. Lacks Fiction Pose Yet Roche is anything but the detective of tradition. Calm, courteous and easy-going is this Pat, who has laughed at gangland threats and sent hoodlum chiefs of New York and Chicago to prison. The spirit of adventure brought him to the United States from his native Ireland in 1909. In 1917 he Joined the Chicago police.

Three years later he was a detective sergeant and, soon after, was accepted as an agent in the special intelligence service of the Internal Revenue Bureau. It was there, as coworker of Clarence E. Converse, that he first gained national recognition. They broke up a drug ring headed by Col. Gray Beach, then head of the Federal narcotic branch here, and convicted Beach, together with Willie Gilhooley and his wife, Kitty.

They sent Hymle Weiss later killed Dapper Dan McCarthy and other gang leaders behind bars for their liquor syndicate activities, and were prepared to send the notorious Dion O'Banion along with them, but thugs got there first and shot down O'Banion the day before his trial. As State's Attorney's chief investigator, Roche's persistent raids on dog tracks led to their final closing, and constant harrasslng of gambling places put a serious crimp in hoodlum income. He doesn't think it impossible to dry up Chi cago. In fact, he remarked not long ago: "A one-legged prohibition agent on a bicycle could stop the flow of booze into the Loop in a week. If they'd give me $300,000 and a free hand, I could make Chicago so dry It would squeak." 6 Army Officers Get Rise in Rank After Retirement Brooklyn and Long Island Veterans, Some From West Point, Are Honored (Special to the Eagle.)

Navy to Convert 3 Destroyers For Target Practice Radio Will Control Vessels; to Use Shells That ill Permit Repair of Ships Washington, Aug. 20 W) Three scarred and battered destroyers are to become "perennial" targets for the lighter guns of the Navy's battleships. Already one of these vessels is being equipped with a radie con trol that will enable it to move crewless about the seas while the guns of the bigger ships blaze away at it. The Stoddert, which has been in service for 10 years, is the first of the three destroyers selected to improve the navy's marksmanship.

Two others will be chosen later from the scores of similar craft built during the war which have since become obsolete. In firing on these vessels the gunners will use target ammunition, which contains no explosive and will only tear holes in the defenseless craft Instead of blasting It out of the water. When there are too many holes, the destroyer targets will be towed to port and patched. Two other destroyers, the Sloat and the Marcus, are to become stationary targets for bombing tests. They will be dismantled and anchored at sea, where airplanes will drop enough bombs to determine whether four 30-pound or one 116-pound bomb would be more effective.

The navy also Is hopeful of equipping the battleship Utah, which the United Staes must lose under the London Naval Treaty, with radio control for operation as a moving target. Democratic Club Turns Republican In 16th District Desertion by Harry Aaron Finds Ex-Followers in Old Home, New Lineup The Harry Aaron Democratic Association of the 16th A. D. entered upon a new political career last night under the name of the Sea Beach Republican Club. Decision to change the name and political complexion of the organization was reached as a protest against the recent action of Harry Aaron, an insurgent Democrat, who last month abandoned his anti-organization activities and made a peace deal with former Senator Kenneth F.

Sutherland, Democratic State com mitteeman of the district. Fallen Leader Annulled The Sea Beach club met last night In the quarters of the defunct Democratic association at 6307 18th Ave. Aaron, who abandoned a primary fight he had planned against the leadership of Senator Sutherland, was assailed by several of his former political associates. Abraham Bauman, president of the new organization, said that when Aaron returned to the Suther land camp he "left his old friends out in the cold." He added that Aaron's return to the regular Democratic organization was based on selfish ambition.

JAMES "Here all I get is me salary an' a cut of th' take. When we're run-nin' a dime layout all I get's a cent on each farmer I c'n drag in, but when th' gate's 15 cents I get two cents. On a good day on th' road with a good layout you know, a couple of shimmy dancers an' a little show I c'n knock down 30 t' 40 bucks extra, besides th' wheel. "Believe me, with th' wheel I make plenty sometimes three four hundred bucks a town an' we hardly ever play a town more'n a day.

O' course I got t' split with th' shills but all they get is a percentage. Shills? They're th' come-ons. When th' crowd la slow get a move on that's where the shills come In.

Hennessy's Shortage May Reach $65,000 The shortage for which James W. Hennessey, former public administrator for Richmond County was Indicted, may reach 165,000.

District Attorney Albert C. Fach said today after 2S witnesses had testified yesterday bel ore the Richmond County Grand Jury investigating the public administrator's orflce. Additional Indictments would be handed up against Hennessey, who was Indicted for a 138.000 shortage, the prosecutor said. He also Indicated that an Indictment would be found against an unidentified associate of Hennessey, of varied character for the masses and the classes. Old-timers will remember, and youngsters will recall hearing their dads or granddads tell of the opening in 1878, when Brooklynites trooped down to the shore by or trolley, or behind swift trotting horses, or the old gray mare that Jogged along the Ocean Boulevard, and up the Concourse fronting the sea, to be surprised and delighted by the fine hotel building, with Its broad piazza, on one end of which meals wera served.

On the other end were rocking chairs where one might sit by the hour watching the passing show. The side nearest the edge was a promenade on which the youth and beauty of Brooklyn delighted to display the latest creations In summer costumes, flowered millinery and stunning sunshades. Listened to Wild Waves Beautifully kept lawns, with marvelous flowerbeds stretched behind the hotel and the water's edge, with winding paths that enabled visitors to get "close-ups" of the plant displays. If they so desired they could it on comfortable benches and listen to what the wild waves were saying, without even saying "By your leave," for the rule was "first come, first served." First comers in afternoons and early evenings took choice seats in front of the great bandstand, which faced the hotel, and on which Pat Ollmore led his famous organization, with Jules Levy, most famous of all cornetlsts, who would condescend to favor with selections that woke the echoes. During intermission belles and beaux would stroll about, and it is said that crusty bachelors used to fkip gaily up the steps at the far end of the porch, to find standing room at a premium at the famous bar, which was about a block long and had nearly as many men behind as in front.

Started to Move Hotel Old Man Ocean, jealous of all this splendor, began to bite great holes In the beach In front of the hotel a few years after It was opened, and soon piling and boardwalks replaced the beautiful lawns. When the waves washed up under the hotel the owners made a deal with B. C. Miller to move the building, which was 500 feet long, back to solid ground. Railroad tracks were built under the hotel, which had been Jacked up.

Several dozen flat cars were run In on the tracks, the hotel was lowered upon them and six locomotives pulled the hotel Into its new location, without the cracking of a window pane. We might go on and on, and tell tales of the wonderful Wagnerian concerts given by Anton Seldl In the music hall adjoining the hotel, alter GUmore had gone over to Manhattan Beach, but time and space limitations forbid, and we must keep that story In reserve for future telling. were entered: Klnga Teanty Borough Prealdent Hurry W.

Email Meserlua Step; Rythm Does It Papa Weber and the Kids Explain It All With Gestures at Session "One, TWO, three balance like me" And so on and on into the night at the Hotel Commodore, the Dane ing Masters of America are teach lng the assistant dancing mistresses of America how to teach all the rest of dancing America the popular tteps this season. It was estimated unofficially today that when the convention In session at the Commodore ends this week 100 or more new steps will have been Introduced to the dancing public. Rhythm Rules the Roost "It's the rhythmic dance that's popular this year," says A. J. Weber, 489 Washington master ol ceremonies.

"The popular rhythm for the ballroom floor Is something like the motion of a double canoe paddle." And he hunched his tux-edoed shoulders and waved them back and forth like a reed under water. Weber knows the popular trend ol the dance when he sees it. Grandpapa Weber taught the fraulelns ot Berlin the gavotte and minuet; lather Weber taught the hoop-skirted sisters of New York and Brooklyn the schottische and waltz. And now Weber, his wife and their two children, Doris and Edwin the fourth generation of dancing Webers have taken the youngsters and oldsters of Brooklyn through the hectic era of the Charleston and flea hop into this latter era of rhythm. Smooth Dances for Gotham "People are tired of the strenuous dance," Mr.

Weber repeated. "What they want In New York, at least, Is something smooth and graceful. "In the West it different. They like their dances strenuous and eccentric. Here we like them conservative." And thus, to the measured rhythm of one, two, three slide big.

bronzed athletes In po'o shirts and white-haired oid men in skimpy plus fours, who Insist on sneaking a sly spring into their slides, are learning the new dance modes against the day when all America will have gone rhythmic.
