od 21 Park BROOKLYN BEACH UPHEAVAL Corporation Counsel Tolins, Commissioner McConville, Reynolds Men, Also Resign. Long Beach, L. Nov. 6 Long Beach's post-election quiet was broken yesterday after only 24 hours' duration by the resignation of four members of the Police Department, the resignation of two administrative officers of the city and the dismissal by Mayor William J. Dalton of two policemen.

The resignations were from Police Capt. Walter Barriscale, Police Sgt, Edmund L. Butler, Police Sgt. Chester Jones and Patrolman John Goodwin, Commissioner of Sewers William McConville and Corporation Counsel David B. Tolins, all to take effect Immediately, save that of Mr.

Tolins, who will quit Dec. 31. Mayor Dalton denied that politics had anything to do with the dismissal of the two policemen, but they said the only thing Mayor Dalton "had on them" was that they signed a petition favoring the candidacy of former Mayor William H. Reynolds, whom Mr. Dalton defeated.

The dismissed patrolmen were Edgar Elin-son and John Maloney, who, with ell those who resigned, were supporters of Mr. Reynolds. The resignations and dismissals reduced Long Beach's Police Department to 16 men. i Sweeney a Dismissed Cop. Patrolman Goodwin was discharged this afternoon by Capt.

John F. Sweeney, a former New York police Inspector, and was reinstated a few minutes later, whereupon he handed In his resignation. Sweeney, who was dismissed from the New York Police Department after a trial for neglecting to close bootlegging places a year ago, accused Goodwin, it was said, of drinking whisky last Monday night while visiting the Ocean Crest Hotel to investigate the presence there of 40 "suspicious characters." Goodwin denied he ever drank. He said he went to the hotel, learned the 40 "suspicious characters" were private detectives employed by supporters of Mayor Dalton to prevent election frauds, refused drinks they offered him and left. Two police lieutenants who saw him later' corroborated his story.

Captain Sweeney then, it was said, told Goodwin to return to his post, but the latter quit at once. Captain Barriscale, who had been on the Long Beach police force for seven yearB, sold he quit because Mnyor Dalton hsfd not "done the right thing" by appointing Sweeney on Oct. 1 and giving the latter Bar-riscole's post at the First Precinct, transferring Barriscale to the lonely West End Precinct. Mayor Dalton would not state the charges against the policemen he dismissed, saying he did not "want to give them a bad name." Aspirant of Today Finds in the Present State of Discourse. ini sent him there remains on Hie bench and happy in the bosom of his family.

I' or a while there was Indignation over the fact that certain demented people were allowed at large. This followed a murder or so by freed maniacs. A number of indignations was uroused. But nothing ever came of it. No laws appear to have been passed.

The situation still txists probably. It Isn't cause-for Indignation now. 1 here was wild indignation anions' literary people for a while over the repeated threats of censorship. A hook was scotched here and the producer of a play convicted. Men who live by the pen became exorcised to the point of writing many thousands of words castigating everybody responsible for curbing literary expression on th grounds of morals.

But nothing yver happened. The hue and cry died down. The censors are still there and as Btrongly en trenched as ever. There was some Indignation in certain quarters about the appearance of Harry Thaw on Broadway. One or two newspapers worked themselves into frensy over the possibilities' of violence as long as he was permitted to drink and celebrate here In New York.

But Thaw did not cease his visits. Nobody did anything about It, and now nobody seems particularly Interested In whether he Is a menace to Broadway or not. Hundreds of people have been worked up over the crime situation. Kvery new robbery kindles another flame in their breasts. They write indignant letters to newspapers and hold meetings and use the material in political campaigns.

But In all probability nobody will ever do anything about the crime situation. A cop will be booted out, a new set of regulations issued from headquar ters, the thing will die then. It goes over and over and over again In that a a So what's the One surveys (he situation caused by Secretary iveiiogg's action in connection with that Hungarian and his wife who wanted to visit the United States. A number of people seemed Indignant over their daring to wish to visit America, presumably seeing In them a menace also. But nobody actually believes thtit a Hungarian and his wife cun upset tho Government at Washington.

Those who weren't indignant over their wanting to come here were Indignant over Secretory Kellogg's refusal to grant them passports. They are Indignant over Secretary Kellogg' rtplanntlons. They over his statement mat the Hungarian Interviews In Canada, another country, had much to do with the State Department's nttltude. But what happened? If I am right about It. nothing.

Nothing ever comes of anything. And yet these retreated and unvarying failures never seem to (lampep anybody's eagerness to fly Into a fever. The minute a writer ceases to be indignant over one thing, it having been abandoned as a lost cause, lie becomes Indignant over something els. He never seems to profit in any way by his experience, and nobody ever seems to catch him. He continues at his Indigna tion, heeded and respected, lighting windmill after windmill, wllh never laugh to Jar his self-esteem.

Such casuists are to be envied The world for them Is full of giants lo fight. T.hey are always able to scare up a menace or a situation worthy to he debated. And the unindignant ones, myself for example. Mruggle along without seeing, more tiau very Infrequently, a cause for emotion. About that, though, I won say never.

Por. as it huppens, I'm hungry and It's a dirty sin and tisme for a man to have to work ijiiiyy Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 6 C4) The excavators of King Tutankhamen's tomb have discovered what they believe to be definite proof that the body of the youthful Pharaoh Is actually in the sarcophagus whose splendors have aroused the admiration of Egyptologists. Their find consists of the Inner coffin, shaped to fit tha form of the body. About this is a linen, shroud, adhering to and covering all the coffin except the face, on which are the painted features customarily depicted on such encasements.

The features are believed to represent those of Tutankhamen himself. A string of beads and flowers was around the head of the sleeping Monarch and on his chest. Since the finding of the tomb of Tutankhamen and the discovery in it of so many beautiful works of art, there had been much expectation LEGGET ESTATE PUT AT RELATIVES SHARE Pays Taxes on Investments in Five Different States-Owns Temple Bar.

HENRY IIYMAN. 1311 Carroll flounce the bar mltsvah of their AH OLD. Union Temple, I'nilerhiUmva. In the Tea Cup the full The Unindignant Literary Little Encouragement Affairs a Melancholy AT the bottom of a great many Journalistic and literary successes seems to be a feeling of Indignation or some kindred emotion. I dare say that more achievements can credit themselves to that Impulse than to any other.

A very bad, to state of affairs. It doesn't really seem to matter whether the cause of Indignation Is sound or asinine. So long as there Is a bugaboo for a writer to bombird lie Is reasonably' suie of attracting attention and commendation. If by fhance he unable to find any bug-n boo tn actual existence it is Just as well and Just as efficacious to manufacture one. People who read newspapers seriously are generally willing to believe what they see there.

Even this. The man, the writer, without the capacity for Indignation faces a difficult and discouraging future. He fees all about him special writers. editorial writers, cartoonists, all of those who write or address a public more or less personally absorbed In some spirit of striking out at this or that. Those who strike out at the most popular bugaboos are the must successful.

The unindignant man envies them He envies them their professional advantage. He envies, in a way, their ability to become exercised over matters which in all probability will never touch them, or only very ullghtly. Crime, the prohibition law, censorship, governmental disturbances, municipal crises, the race question, the cure and upbringing of children, trend or moruis in mis age, the K. K. literary matters, the situation in the 27th Assembly District, each han Its scores of easu Ists.

actively Indignant, articulate and willing to expend wind and r.iuscln in defense of some standard they have selected. A magazine editor who had bousht atories from a certain writer during the existence of a magazine that Is i.ow dead several tunes Invited the writer to Submit something for r.ew Journal. This new Journal, now ever, differed from the old in that it ran less, much lesB, to Hctlon and more, very much more, to articles of a. caustic character. The writer had every sympathy with the policy of the new mugaztne.

Barely did anything in It vary greatly from his own view, had he taken tUe time to formulate a view in each of the subjects r.nd month after month he nodded approval of etach sayli g. "Yes, that's true, all right," and he studied and studied and studied, seeking in his mind to tiiul some topic on which he might wax indignant. That was a year ago. Since then has given up the Idea of appearing ever In that magazine. He has been unable to work himself Into a sweat over any particular situation, i What, after all, would be the advantage? Writing in defense of or gainst some issue rarely means anything of permanent result.

Nobody apparently ever does anything about anything. A great many people rend a number of Indignant articles and editorials concerning a young foreigner who was sentenced to a term In prison because he did not raise ills cap when the United States flag (not accompanied by an armed guard) passed in a parade. The circumstances surruundlng his conviction and imprisonment seemed to warrant some moderate form of Indignation. And those Who found bls so waited for results. Vothlng.
