Mrs. Busch and her daughters arrived here on Nov. 4 aboard the United States liner George Washington.

Secrecy Veiled Seizure. Secrecy has veiled the seizure of Mrs. Buschs baggage and that of her two daughters. The customs authorities are understood to have acted upon information from the TJ. S.

If this report is true the informers may be paid ap nroxlmatelv $14,000. Two days before the arrival of the George Washington word had been received here that Mrs.

MATTITUCK ROW School Head Departs Sud denly After Suspending Science Teacher.

(Special to The Eagle. I Mattltuck, L. Nov. 16 This vil lage got another shock last night when it was learned that Herbert Moon, principal of the high school, whose suspension of his physical cul ture and science teacher gave the town its first surprise, had resigned himself and promptly left town. No reason for the resgination was given.

Moon simply turned over the Keys to tne school to Miss Mary Barker, one of the teachers, notified the board he was through, and left So now Mattituck has a real mystery to aeep it interested wnere before it nad only a somewhat amusing situation. Moon suspended Alfred F. Graa, the science teacher and coach of Matti tuck High Schools athletics, because, he said, Graa had gone out ridimr in his motorcar with two of the prettiest giris in tne senior class. Following that suspension one girl was "invited to leave school." she said, and three others followed. And Just when that bombshell burst in town Moon resigned, giving no reason at all.

And Mattltuck hasn't the faintest idea today what it is all about. Graa is still in town, but it ii expected he may resign as teacher and leave. The town's sympathy, incidentally, is for the most part with him. Moon Unpopular Figure. Moon, it develops, was not really popular here.

Graa, because of his light, airy, happy way of doing things, was. He was called a good teacher, but he didn't mix with the people of the village. In the absence of Frank C. Barker, president of the Board of Education, Henry P. Tuthill.

one of its members, gave out the only official statement. "Mr. Moon stated no reason for his act," he said. "I assume, however, that he was prompted to tender his resignation because he felt that to be for the best interests of himself and the school." Maybe so. But Mattituck is asking today why Moon quit so suddenly after he had forced whatever issue there was with Graa.

And Graa, it is noticed, has not denied that he did go out riding with Miss Mary De Petria and Miss Bernice Bond. Inci dentally, Miss Bond is one of those who have left school In the four-girl strike. Miss De Petrls isn't.

He was actuated In making this statement by the submission to the board of plans calling for the bulkheading of Sheeps-head Bay, from Sheepshead Bay rd. to E. 27th st. Byrne asked a representative of the Dock Department whether the purpose of this improvement was to beautify or commercialize that section of the water front. The response was that the Dock Commissioner was not concerned in any ma-tanal purpose of the improvement except the bulkheading of the shore which was a necessity.

Byrne Demands Consultation. "In the past," said the Borough President, "the Dock Department has gone ahead with plans for water front improvements In Brooklyn without ever consulting the Borough administration. We want to beautify Brooklyn wherever it is possible and at this point, that is Sheepshead Bay, there is an excellent opportunity for beauti-firation of the shore line." The plans were referred to Boro President Byrne, who is to have a conference with the Dock Commissioner regarding them. After the Board had adjourned for luncheon Boro President Byrne said he had not quite understood the Dock Department's plans for the improvement of the Sheepshead Bay waterfront. The clearing of the south side of Emmons ave.

of all commercial structures would mean the removal of several well-known Sheepshead Bay resorts, Including Lundy's, he pointed out. Approve Grade-Crossing Program.

Albans and Rockaway Park sections of Queens at ft total cost of $26,000,000. Corporation Counsel James P. Nicholson, at the request of Mayor Walker, rendered an opinion as to whether the city might use its own money for carrying out this Improvement or have to accept aid from the State under the amendment to the constitution by which the Legislature appropriated $300,000,000 for the elimination of erade crossings in the State The Corporation Counsel said that if the city thought fit it could issue tax notes or short term bonds for its share of the removal of these grade crossings, and that thereby the city would not lorego me rignt wj a portion nf the State funds in the future No decision was made as to whether the Board of Estimate win accept State aid at this time or borrow the mnnev in the usual way. by which method, according to the Mayor, monn could be saved because the rit ran borrow at a low interest rate The Transit Commission must know by Not. 23 whether tne city wm accept State aid or not.

33d tt. to E. 34th from an to a district the property fronting cn the southerly side of Avenue between Stillwell ave. and Bay Parkway.

Charge by Government.

The methodical representative of the Department of Labor unemotionally recited the charge against the young woman. "She is barred on the ground of being an immoral woman," he said. "Five years ago she was keeping company with a young man. She loved him too well. Four years ago she married another man.

Her indiscretion brings her within perview of the legal requirement that an applicant for citizenship shall have been of good moral character for five years immediately preceding the application." Judge Inch gazed quietly down upon the petite applicant. She shrank back and sobbed. The Judge's keen eyes softened. Father Defends Her. The father, at his daughter's side, squared his shoulders.

"My daughter," he exclaimed, "Is not immoral. Foolish she was, maybe; but no bureau or court can make her unmoral by edict for an indiscreet surrender." Judge Inch, in a kindly manner, drew out her story. Yes, she had loved this young man who had held first place in her life. There had been a parting and that love had died. She then met another man, grew to love him and married him without telling of the earlier love.

They had not gotten along very well. She had hoped that the coming of their baby would reconcile them, but the mar riage went on the rocks when he hus band learned of her first love affair.
