THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1922. 17 BD. TO BAN PYRENE IF EXPERTS FIND IT DANGEROUS Extinguishers Not Yet Removed From Subway Cars -Prof. Ol- sen Defends Them.

The Pyrene fire extinguishers have rot been taken out of the subway the Interboro Rapid Transit Company, and will not be removed until the Transit Commission issues an order to that effect, it was learned toLay, According to Commissioner Leroy T. Harkness the order given by President Frank Hedley was misunderstood. "Mr. Hedley did not order the Pyrene fire extinguishers to be removed from the Interboro subway cars," said Mr. "The order Mr.

Hedley the day after the cent subway accident was that the Pyrene fire extinguishers should not be played on an active electric arc, in case of a fire, while the investigation to determine the cause of the accident was under way. Therefore the subway is not without fire protection." The experts from the United States Bureau of Mines, who are making a thorough investigation for the Commission to find out if the Pyrene fire extinguisher is a dangerous contrivance when brought in contact with an active electric are such as results from a short circuited motor, will submit a preliminary report to the Commission within a few days, it was said. Commission, it was ennounced, cEransits utmost faith in the ability of these expert chemists. "If the Federal investigators should make an adverse report," Commissioner Harkness was asked, "will the Commission issue an order to the Interboro Company to take the device out of its subway cars forthwith?" "Certainly," he replied. fire extinguisher a would have to be "But in that case another type of edopted as otherwise the Interboro subways would be without fire protection?" was asked.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," he said. A committee of city officials appointed by Mayor Hylan is also conducting an investigation of the Pyrene fire extinguisher, but thus far the committee has made no report. A short circuit on an empty six-car train shortly after noon yesterday tied up traffic for 23 minutes on the LexIngton ave. subway. Fire broke out along the tracks of shea subway from 86th to 109th Manhattan, but there were no accidents as a result except that an 11-year-old girl suffered slight abrasions of one leg.

The fire was put out without the use of pyrene. Prof. Olsen Defends Pyrene. J. C.

Olsen, professor of chemical engineering at Polytechnic Institute, in a letter to The Eagle on pyrene said today: "A short circuit and the resulting fire of unusual intensity having occurred and having been extinguished the timely aid of one of these extinguishers, and some of the passengers having been overcome by the smoke, fumes, heat, excitement or unusual exertion incident to such an accident, the conclusion is hastily reached that all the discomfort to the passengers was due to the agency used so effectively to extinguish the fire, and that these safety devices should be removed from the subway cars. "This remedy seems about as sensible as the proposition to remove lifeboats from vessels because it not infrequently happens that passengers are injured or even lose their lives when lifebcats are lowered from the sides of sinking vessels. "Your correspondent is a chemist by training and life-long experience and has studied and experimented with many of the common poisonous gases and made very exhaustive studles of the use of the Pyrene extinguishing liquid and has made many analyses of the gases given off when this liquid is used to extinguish all kinds of fires, including the electric are which is produced during a short circuit. The surprisingly small amount of vapor of the Pyrene liquid which is sufficient to extinguish a fire of any sort has always been a source of astonishment. In the presence of this vapor a fire will r.ot barn even though there is plenty of oxygen present for combustion and sufficient for breathing purposes.

'Suffocation of people cannot take place from lack of Oxygen. The Pyrene vapor itself is not poisonous to human beings, neither is it irritating or disagreeable, The only irritating gases which could arise from the Pyrene liquid would be decomposition products and here again as a chemist Tam surprised at the sma'l amount lecomposition. "There are always present in the gases resulting from the extinguishing of fires with Pyrene considerable amounts of carbon monoxide. This is a deadly and dangerous poison, but it is produced by the fire itself, and does not result from the process of extinguishing the fire. The longer the fire is allowed to burn the more of this deadly gas will be produced.

while if the fire is extinguished quickly the amount formed will be small. In the confined space of a subway car it is of the greatest importance that a fire be extinguished with the least loss of time. There is no fire extinguisher known by means of which an electrical fire may be 80 certainly and SO quickly extinguished as by the Pyrene fire extinguisher. "By far the most disagreeable and Irritating odors are given off by the burning of usual electrical insulation. The acrid fumes given off will quickly overcome most people.

It is most important to immediately extinguish such a fire to avoid serious consequences The stream of Pyren'e which SO quickly extinguished the electric short circuit at the same time stops the burning of the insulation. No other extinguisher will accomplish both of these desirable objects so quickly and so surely. I have no hesitation in affirming that the removal of the Pyrene fire extinguisher would render the subway cars far more dangerous in case of accident than could possibly be the result from their HARVEY PRESENTS GOOD SHOW AT ROCKAWAY Harvey's Cabaret and dance at the boardwalk and 98th RockBeach, presents one of the best away bills of the season, with their new revue, "Step Lively," in two acts.

Flappers and Youths Revel At Flatbush "Lonely Club" Has the young people's group of the Get-Together Club of the Flatbush Community Center developed into a Monday night dancing club? A visit to the Casino in Prospect Park last evening would cause an answer in the affirmative, while Mrs. Florence Updegraff, an organizer of the People's Institute, and Mrs. Robert Marron, the hostess of the evening, answer in the negative. Dancing was the main indoor diversion of the evening, while necking and hugging parties were enjoyed upon the benches of the shaded walks.

The finale-hopper and scandaler have come into their own through the organization which was started for the purpose of forming acquaintances, comradeships and friendships. The "Camel's Walk," "The Sheik," and Walk" held sway and were evidently enjoyed by the young poople. The music was provided by a bungalow type phonograph. Nobody Lonely. The spirit of loneliness was nowhere evident.

From the casual remarks overheard it wAS made manifest that the affair was not regarded as a distinctive success. "It was "It was on the bum!" were answers heard a number of times to the question "How did you like the party Girls Puff Cigarettes.

A casual survey shows that membership of the Get-Together Club is drawn from the various high schools the immediate vicinity of Prospect Park. This was made evident not only in conversation with a number of those present, but also in the manner in which the groups formed for the passing of further personal quips and gibes. The cigarette was used by A number of girls as an evidence of personal acquaintanceship and familiarity, A group of three girls, in particular, from the expressions formed upon their faces. got real enjoyment out of the the the weed. The evening was further productive of a spirit of the "gang' method for settling either fancied or existing wrongs.

A large group of yonng fellows imbued with this spirit were present to wreak their vengeance upon another group of eight, who it WAS claimed severely chastised one of the former on last Monday evening for having "butted in" on their party. The carrying out of this scheme for revenge was frustrated by the appearonce of two policemen. Women Defend Club. Membership in the young people's group Was gained last evening through the payment of 50 cents at the door. In addition to participation privileges in the affairs of the club, it entitled the members to refreshments following the sociable.

Keen disappointment was felt last evening, however, as the dealers in charge of both the ice cream and soda refused to deliver it. Both Mrs. Updegraff and Mrs. Marron are loud in praises for the future of the "Lonely Club," especially as it will affect persons of mAture years who find themselves 111 this boro without either friends quaintances. A number of letters seeking information have been, received during the past few days.

They are busy devising ways and means of creating and holding the attention of the young folks in well worth while endeavors to the end that dancing will not be paramount.

HEINZ PURE VINEGARS Professor Gives Life Savings to University for Telescope PROF. HIRAM PLPERKINS Every cent which Prof. Hiram M. Perkins, 89, who for years has been instructor in mathematics and astronomy at Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, has saved for his old age, amounting to $200,000, will be spent on a telescope that will be erected on the university campus, and which will be the third largest in the world. DID NOT SIGN WILL, MRS.

KELLY TESTIFIES (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. July 18-The startling testimony was given in the Surrogate's Court here yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Irene Kelly, wife of Sheriff John F. Kelly, that she did not sign a will in which her name appears as a witness, but the later admitted it was her signature to the will. The instrument is that of John E.

Conklin of Smithtown, disposing of about $2,700, substantially all of which is given to his widow, Grace E. Conklin, for life use, then to three children, Harvey N. Conklin, Howard E. Conklin and George E. Conklin.

After having testified that she did not sign the will Mrs. Kelly qualified her testimony somewhat by adding that she had no recollection whatever of signing it- the slightest recollection," she said. The will was dated Sept. 18, 1915, but Mrs. Kelly insisted she did not know the testator and had not the slightest recollection of signing the will with or without her husband.

Immediately after Mrs. Kelly left the courtroom Sheriff Kelly himself came in and a little later on the witdid sign the will in his presence and ness stand he testified that Mrs. Kelly in the presence of testator. "I signed in her presence and ahe signed in mine," he testified, "and we both signed in the presence of the testator." No further explanation was forthcoming yesterday why the husband and wife were diametrically opposed to each other in their testimony. Following the testimony of Sheriff Kelly the will was admitted to probate.

MRS. HUTCHINS FOUND AT BAYSIDE CLUB Mrs. Elsie Hutchins, former toe dancer and member of the theatrical team of Weston and Weston, declared yesterday that she had no intentions of returning to her husband, Richmond F. Hutchins, proprietor of a tea room at 221 W. 104th Manhattan.

Mrs. Hutchins disappeared suddenly on June 14 last and her husband sent out an alarm for her. She was located a few days ago at the Bayside Yacht Club at Bayside, L. where she is employed as a waitress, and where according to her own statement she is making "plenty of money." Mrs. Hutchins, who has assumed the name of Jane Roberts, was interviewed at the club yesterday.

She said that she had left her husband on June 14 because they had had some disagreements over the management of the tea room at the 104th st. address in which she was partner. However, she added that since she left there she has learned that her husband has taken another partner into the business, a Mrs. Aiken Manhattan. Asked if she intended to return to the stage, Mrs Hutchins replied in the negative, stating that she planned to remain at Bayside during the summer and open a tea room in Manhattan in the fall.

OLD TIME MINSTRELS AT BUSHWICK THIS WEEK "The Comebacks," a minstrel revival, is the headliner at the Bushwick Theater this week, and the performers, not one of whom was under, 60 years old, made 8 great made up right on the stage and set up a minstrel scene, with an interlocutor and end men. Joseph E. Noreross, 81 years old, was the middle man, his old place in the group, and he sang his song which was a hit many years ago, "Asleep in the Deep." James R. Bradley, George W. -Cunningham, Al Edwards and Eddie Horan each did his old-time specialty, Eddie Horan doing some clever dancing.

Frank Gaby, in "On and Off," has some new quips, but still does his ventriloquism, which is good. Guilfoyle and Lang add to the fun, the former having a humorous voice, while Miss Lang changes her costumes frequently and has some stunning ones. Cartmell and Harris have novel act, mostly dancing, and it gets a good deal of applause. "Dreams" is a farily good living picture act. Thornton Flynn, with Dena Caryl, gives an act called "Comparison," in which he shows the difference between A phonograph and the natural voice.

The act takes well. Al Shayne calls himself the "singing beauty," and succeeds in being quite humorous. Lois Josephine and Elsie Lange did not appear, their places being taken by Conlon and Glass, who have a lot of foolishness but seem to please the audience. There are the usual Allers-in and the whole program is an unusually good one. TED LEWIS AND MAE WEST TOP WEEK'S ORPHEUM BILL Ted Lewis and his jazzical clowns made the audience at the Orpheum last night sit up and take notice.

People are apparently beginning to take their jazz more and more seriously, and a new school of music seems rapidly to be growing out of this intoxicating and unorthodox form of syncopation. Ted made a real hit, which is not surprising. in view of the fact that he serves jazz straight, with a bit of Sousa for a chaser. Sharing the headline honors with this so-called "high-hatted tragedian of song" was Mae West in "Bits of Musical Comedy," with Harry Richman at the piano. May was little less than a riot in that historic song, "You Don't Have to Be Beautiful if You've Got Technique." She has both.

She admits she plays men like Harry Richman plays the plano, and that's saying something. Pushing close to Mae and Harry were George Moore and Mary Jayne, with number of still funny old gags served up in a new way. Johnny Burke in a monologue entitled "Drafted" kept 'em laughing until they were sore and wanted to cry. He didn't know enough to stop. Harry Laughlin and Clara West presented a pleasing miniature musical comedy called "The Little Speculator." the balancing dog, rendered a graceful performance for SO fat an animal.

Wyeth and Wynn got a lot of applause for some poor singing. Nat Nazarro and company, with Buck and Bubbles as a closing act, kept the audience in theater until 11:30. They presented the anomaly in vaudeville--a last act that no one walks out on. THRILLS AND MORE THRILLS IN STRAND PICTURE There are more thrills "The Fast Mail," the feature this week at the Strand, Brooklyn, than in the average three-ring circus. The story starts with a steeplechase race at Natchez, and in the neck-and-neck finish of the gentlemen riders bumps the one other and the winner is allowed to get away with it because his sister is to marry the chap he bumped.

This yellow -streaked scion of an old Southaid of a couple of friends of his ern family needs money, SO type and a professional gambler with ours race is framed. When the cheated man, who incidentally is a cowboy from Montana, learns the facts things begin to happen, and in the opening quarrel the professional gambler is killed. Then follow the thrills. The heroine, Eileen Percy, is pretty enough to have been the cause of much of the excitement. As a contrast to this film there is an exquisite nature bit by Bruce called "My the usual Topical, with views of the Brooklyn Elks at the recent convention; a Tony Sarg Almanac and a genuinely funny Mermaid comedy, labelled "Spooks." The music is especially good.

The orchestra plays selections from "The Ruth Watson, contralto, and Mary Fabian, soprano, sing operatic arias; Georges Du Franne, tenor, has a solo, and Louise Boslet dances. BETH BERI AT HENDERSON'S Beth Beri, dancer, is the headliner at Henderson's Theater, Coney Island, for the first part of this week. Beri, assisted by two partners, performs several difficult a intricate dances. Others on the bill are Tsen Mei, a Chinese girl singer, who wins applause by her imitations of farmyard animals; Bissett and Scott, a pair of novelty dancers who are well received; Luckie and Harris, comedians and singers, and McCoy and Walters in a comedy skit. "The Primitive Lover," a film which has many amusing moments and in which Constance Talmadge and Kenneth Harlan have leading roles, is the cinema attraction.

FINE FILM AT KEENEY'S The very beautiful Ruby de Remer in "The Unconquered Woman" is the feature film at Keeney's the first part of the week. It is a story which begins in the frozen north and reaches its climax in the said-to-be-gay night life of New York, a film full of thrills and love. The vaudeville consists of Doree's Celebrities, Howard and Denny, comedians, and Thirty Pink Toes. For the last of the week Bebe Daniels and Jack Holt will appear in "North of the Rio Grande." There will be the usual vaudeville. ALICE LAKE IN HATE ON BILL AT METROPOLITAN A good picture and a long vaudeville bill make up the program al the Metropolitan Theater for the first part of this week.

The film is "Hate," in which Alice Lake and Conra1 Nagel play. There is a murder and, naturally, a murder mystery. The best of the vaudeville is a "nut team." Harry Steppe and Harry O'Neal, "Brazilian Nuts." The Seven Glas. gow Sisters in a Scotch revue, Arthur Devoy and company in a one-act comedy called "Broken La Vine, Ritz and company in a dancing act, and the Donald Sisters complete the bill. Jane Green and Jimmie Blyler, the syncopating tea, from the "Midnight head the vaudeville bill for the latter part of the week.

The film attraction will be "The Stroke of Midnight." Throws Self From Window In a fit of despondency because her sisters did not care for her, according to the police, Lena Reinikoff, a 13- year-old girl living at 424 Livonia threw herself from the window of the first, floor of her home to the sidewalk 10 feet below. Dr. Kelly took her to St. Mary's Hospital, where it was found that she had fractured her left leg. FANNIE BRICE HEADS GOOD BILL AT NEW BRIGHTON Vaudeville has no finer artiste than Fannie Brice.

At the New Brighton Theater, beginning a week last night, she sings typical Brice songs, written by Blanche Merrtil, songs do written a8 to give Miss Brice opportunities to exhibit her unique and delicious comicalities. Her act is varied, fast, and of the highest quality. In "Second Hand Rose." she intersperses those flashing bits of Jewish characterization throughout the bathos of the lament with astonishing effect. "The Yiddisher is an echo from her familiar "Yiddisher Vampire," a8 is the Hollywood vamp role. Which doesn't mean, though, that they aren't welcome, delightful.

As a Jewish blue-bell of Scotland she is at her best, new in idea for her and cleverly done. A new song is one about a Florodora girl who married for love and is now raising another sextet. The last number is the stirring "My The rest of the New Brighton bill this week is above the average too. Miss Patricola, the jazz song singer, is popular. Her selections are capably presented, pretty good entertainment.

A sketch called Little Production," with Bill Bailey, Lynn Cowan and Estelle Davis in it, is 1111 common in design and was well received. The first act of the evening was Paul Nolan, the jesting Swede, a wizard with the two-gallon hat, but too easily coaxed into springing 1902 wheezes. William Sully and Genevieve Houghton appear in a new act. "Calf which is nothing distinctive. Their playlet started off with some semblance of an idea, but the idea Warren and O'Brien in "Bits of Eccentricity" have one of those acts in which one pulls the other's coat up at the end of every joke.

MANHATTAN MOVIES Charlie Chaplin's famous "Shoulder Arms" began a week's revival at the Capitol Sunday. A special music program has been arranged to go with it. A longer picture, "Hope," is also on the bill. At the Rivoli Theater this week is "'The Man Unconquerable," with Jack Holt and Sylvia Breamer. The comedy is "Short Weights." "A Fool There Was." another picturization of Porter Emerson Browne's well-known play, is on at the Strand.

"If You Believe It, It's So, with Thomas Meighan, moved to the Rialto this week, Matter having' a week's run at the Rivoli. MIR-ASKEY. Miss Gertrude M. Askey, daughter of Mrs. Phoebe Askey of Whitestone, formerly of Elmhurst, was married yesterday afternoon in St.

George's Protestant Episcopal Church, in Flushing, to Salvador C. Mir, son of Mrs. Margaret Mir of Whitestone, formerly of Flushing. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Robert Cornell, assisted by the Rev.

Harry J. Stretch, both of Flushing and former school mates of the bridegroom. The bride was attended by Miss Helen Wilkinson of Flushing. Frederick Mir was his brother's best man. The New Plays "THE PLANTATION REVUE" Florence Mills was recalled half a dozen times to repeat a single line in "The Plantation Revue," which opened at the 48th St.

Theater last night. In itself it wasn't much of a line a8 regards either words or melody. "See them light-brown babies come," it ran, or something to that effect. But it 'acted as a cue for the appearance on the stage of Miss Mills' Six Dixie as Hawaiian dancers. They danced, and the male portion of the audience Vamps, being light negro de girls registered its approval that as vamps they were an undoubted success.

A judicious display of unquestionably well formed brown bodies, of varying shades of brown, made up one of the chief attractions of the Revue. Will Vodery's orchestra with its jazz of many shadings was another. Edith Wilson's songs were another. And of course a plantation revue of any kind could not exist without "Old Black Joe," "Swanee River" and such old-time favorites, jazzed up to fit the last mood in syncopation. Some time somebody will get together an all company'and put them on the stage with a real play to act.

With only a hodge-podge of a revue to work on, the company last night showed its racial histrionic inclinations. Even the orchestra memberg acted, with twitches of the eyebrow and movements of the shoulders, and the members of the negro chorus could give a pointer or two to Broadway's white chorines. Shelton Brooks, as master of ceremonies, WAS guilty of a number of jokes of the vintage immediately following the cruise of Noah's ark, but very wisely the appeal of the revue was not made on humor, but on much more primitive things, such as rhythms of a saxophone and dancer's body. The production is staged by Lew Leslie. Roy Turk and Russell J.

Robinson are responsible for the words and music. To Take Part in Eagle's Radio Concert Tonight FRANK HAYEK Frank Hayek, a well known baritone, will provide a program of songs for the radio concert to be broadcasted this evening from the Signal Corps Station, on Bedloes Island, under the auspices of The Eagle. Miss Anne K. Davids, violinist, and Miss Dorothy Morey, pianist, will also take part. MOTORCARS FOUND WRECKED IN WOODS Cars Partly Burned All Marks of Identification Removed.

(Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. July 18-While picking huckleberries on the Tangier property, Joshua Budd, a local garage man, and John Waldron stumbled upon pieces of iron in the underbrush. Investigation proved them parts of ditferent motorcars. Close by, at the rear of a vacant house on the Tangier boulevard, they found two chassis of well known makes of care stripped of every mark of identification. About 50 feet awe in the dense underbrush, a recently smashed eight cylinder moter, the part containing its number missing.

A short distance from where the machines had been abandoned and wrecked the rematha of a fire were found. The tops of the cars had been burned, nothing remained but the door knobs and other metal parta. The parties who had been engaged In destroying the cars had used the vacant house 08 their headquarters, gaining an entrance by cutting a hole in one of the windows and opening the catch. The scene is about two miles south of the Montank Highway. The road in front of the house is seldom traveled.

Budd declares the work of demolishing the cars has been of recent date: in fact, the engine parts were not rusty despite their closeness to the bay and it consequent dampness. District Attorney LeRoy Young WAR notified of the find and has placed one of his deputies on the case to trace the origin of the cars and it possible learn if they were stolen ones. CORPORATION NOTICES. will prove a nuisance, and therefore cppose its presence. Comments as follows were made by persons living in the block: "I have absolutely no abjections.

Children have the right to live and must live." "I can find no cause for complaint yet. I will wait until the children arrive and see how they behave before I take any side." "It makes no difference to me one way or the other, but if the majority of my neighbors object I feel it my duty to stand with them." "If I had known this was coming I would never have bought here. Now I shall move the first opportunity I get." "Let the youngstrs come by all means. Any person so soured that he fails to hear muse in the laughter of playing children can never be much good to any community himself." Concerning this subject, Mrs. Clara Boyer, superintendent of the Hopewell Society said yesterday: "I do not think we will have any opposition when the people realize what we are doing here.

Our home is going to be conducted as little like an institution as possible, and I think everyone will be agreeably surprised." Father Who Chained Son, 9, to Fire Escape Held by Court JOHN KARO Charged with keeping his 9-yearold son, Andrew, in chains, John Karo, 44, a blacksmith's helper, of 523 East 6th Manhattan, was held in $1,000 bail for hearing Thursday when arraigned before Magistrate Simpson in Essex Market Court, yesterday.
