Something Better Than Whisky for Imitations free from fusel oil and other Impurities. Whisky users had a lot of fun out of the Uttle Joke, and so did Mr. Bonaparte. He found to-day, however, that the whisky makers could not see the point. They came to object to his order tn general, and some of them seriously, almost tearfully argued that they could not use his labels.

Mr. Bonaparte smiled and said he had not intended to order the use of the names, but simply had suggested, them. The whisky maker sighed with relief. Others smiled. After an eniattement of nearly five months Ethel Barrymore will frlve.

the banker, wrote to Police Commissioner BIrgham yesterday complaining of two policemen who clubbed a coa wagon driver at Fifth Avenue and Thlrtyrthlrd Street, opposite the Waldorf-Astoria. About the time that Mr. Schiff's letter reached Police Headquarters several others got there telling Commissioner Bingham about the case. An echo of the case waa in the Jefferson Market Court, where Pollcemnn Godfrled Knoblock arraigned Thomas Moran on a charge of Intoxication and obstructing public traffic. Policeman Kreutzer was there also as a complainant.

Moran Is employed by tho Curtls-Blalsdell Coal Company. His head waa tied up In bandages. He explained that he had been driving a truck containing five tons of coal, and when ordered to pull up by one of the Traffic Squad policemen at the corner of Fifth VA venue and Thirty-third Street Waa unable to stop because he was going down grade at the time and the momentum of his wagon pushed his horses ahead. Then, he said, one of the policemen Jumped on the truck and tried to drag him off. Finally, he was clubbed and thrown to the pavement.

Policemen Kreutaer and Knoblock denied this story. They said there had been no clubbing, but that In resisting arrest the coal cart driver bad fallen from the trwk. Magistrate Wahle thought the driver had been punished sufficiently, and discharged him. Moran declared he would make a complaint against the policemen. One of those who witnessed the affair explained that there waa a general irJx-up between driver and policemen when the driver refused to mtop his team, and that about this time Mr.

Schlff came along In his automobile and interfered. One of tho policemen, recognising Mr. Schlff. telephoned to Bellevue Hospital for an ambulance, as the driver's head was blredincr. This witness said that the driver had first refused to get ofr his truck and showed fight, when the policemen drew their billies and pounded him.
