MAIL FRAUD CHARGE AGAINST BROTHERS Federal Officers Nail Alleged Get-Rich-Quick Grocery Concern. WOMEN WERE THE CUSTOMERS Well Thought Out Scheme to Sell $3 Worth of Groceries for a Quarter. scheme to make money "for benefit of the poor" that almost places in the discard the plan evolved years ago by the fertile brain of Hundred and Twenty-Per Cent. ler," also a "philanthropist," bared today with the arrest by United States Marshal Power of Louis Yanowitz, 26 years old, of 188 street, and his brother, Irving, years old, manager and assistant ager of the Manhattan Women's ceries, which has headquarters Room 302 of the First National Bank Building at 258-60 Broadway, liamsburg. The Yanowitz brothers, who will missioner Bick on a arraigned this afternoon before.

Comspiring to defraud by use of the mails, haid a perfectly good scheme to to trustful women $3 worth of series for a quarter. The plan, doubt, would not have their arrest if it were not that 15 of 16 persons purchasing a 25-cent coupon entitling them to the groceries, constantly awaited the delivery of a the order. Still, Louis Yanowitz himself, head of the organization, authority for the statement that scheme certainly would have worked out for the benefit of all had not Uncle Sam interfered, "The cleverest scheme I ever commented Postottice Inspector Albert Leamy, who investigated the leged fraud. This is the scheme: Mrs. Jones buys a coupon for cents from the Manhattan Women's Groceries Corporation.

That entitled her to a book containing four coupons, for which she pays the concern Mrs. Jones takes the book of coupons and sells it to her friends, receiving quarter for each coupon. Right here was the first trick to fool trustful. Mrs. Jones keeps the and, on the back of the empty coupon book writes her name and address.

She sends the book, bearing the names and addresses of the women who purchased the coupons, to the ManhatWomen's Grocery Corporation. Then this occurs: The corporation sends a representative to each of the four whom Mrs. Jones sold the coupons. They sell each of these women a book four coupons for $1. Then, while these four women are out selling the coupons to sixteen of their friends, the corporation is busy purchasing groceries ($3 worth) for the wholesale price, about $2.50, with the $4 it received through Mrs.

Jones' friends. Mrs. Jones, in due time, receives her groceries. Do you get The idea is "the best co-operative scheme that ever hatched, undoubtedly, except that eventually some woman with a coupon would meet her friends also selling coupons and then the smash would have come. But, Federal District Attorney France's office, to save the trouble handling too many witnesses, stepped and acted quickly.

Records seized by United States Marshal Power's men show interestfigures regarding the lucrativeness of the business. In just twenty business days the Yanowitz brothers admitted they received $8,000. The proceeds of yesterday's business, seized by the Marshal, totaled $221. ButThis is what the District Attorney interested in. The concern delivered just 800 orders at an approximate cost of $2,000.

The concern received $4,000 for the coupons sold by women, one in sixteen of whom the groceries delivered. Profit, $2,000. If each one of the 4,000 women sells her four coupons to other women, there you have 16,000 orders about to be received by the firm, and you have $16,000 more cominto the coffers. Figure it out yourself. RUSSELLITE ASKED TO EXPLAIN FAITH Syracuse Draft Board Summons Vonanburgh to Appear.

(Special to The Eagle.) Syracuse, March 9-W. E. Vonanburgh, Brooklyn head of the International Bible Students' Association, has been summoned to Syracuse Monday to explain to District Exemption Board No. 3 for Northern New York, the teachings of the "Pastor" Russell faith. The board wants to know the tenets of the cult that it may pass upon a dozen or more exemption claims of believers in that religion, who do not such members.

Vonanburgh from want to because they are wary Worcester, has wired his willingness to appear. Registrants have explained to draft officials they cannot join the Army, as their religion forbids them to take human life, make war or bear arms. These claims are made on form affidavits distributed by the society among members of military age. Oscar Oschner, leader the cult in this city, when notified of Vananburgh's coming, retained Carleton B. to look after the society interests at the hearing.

This is the first time the "Pastor" Russell followers have pressed their claims for exemption. The decision will establish a precedent in this State. The test case is that of Arthur C. Dutcher of Binghamton. IN MEMORIAM GABURRI--In loving memory of our beloved mother and grandmother.

"POOR TRANSIT UP TO CITY" Gro. Inadequate transit facilities in in Brooklyn were blamed largely on the city by John W. Dempsey, vice preslWil- dent of the B. R. in a talk at the Ridgewood Democratic Club last be night.

"The B. R. said Mr. Dempsey, "has lived up to its contracts, but unfortunately the city has not." He sell made reference to the Ridgewood division of the Fourteenth Street-East gro- New York branch of the dual transit no plan. If this were completed, he said, in the Canarsie trains would be operated out by that route, which would tend to relieve the Broadway congestion He told the gathering that the draft and enlistment had taken over 1,000 the company's men, and that the recent spell of bad weather clatmed is hundreds more who were ill.

THE EDITH RUBEL TRIO The Edith Rubel Trio last night, at People's Symphony concert, at the Washington Irving High School. gave a program divided into "Formal Music," "Romantic Music" and "Informal Music." An "air" by Matheson (Sixteenth Century) and a "theme and variations," by Beethoven, instanced music, and it was not only interpreted with classic outline, but was warm with modern feeling. The Trio also played well Brahms' "Trio in Major." "Informal Music" showed the Trio in a st.l1 more emphatic way, 88 Bohemian folk melodies, Danish, Russian and Creole folk music were heard. The pensive little "Farewell" of Bohemian flavor, the Danish melody, "Chicken's Feet and Carrots," the Russian, "The Oak Tree Rustled." and the Creole "Musieu Bainjo" and "Pov'tit Lolotte," were luscious bits of melody.

The ensemble Includes Edith Rubel, violinist; Katherine Marie Roemact, 'cellist, and Swift, pianist. CO. 47TH, NEEDS MEN. Company of the new Fortyseventh Infantry, N. under command of Captain William Tollner.

Men between the ages of 31 and 40 are invited to join for home duty. the least tinge disloyalty in the school at any time. The teacher 1n question is a man of experience and fine principles. His judgment simply did not function in this one instance.

"There was no mention in the debate of Thrift Stamps. The only utterance that was at all off color was the mention of the Lusitania and a statement that it was commanded by an English captain and had munitions aboard. The whole thing apparently made no impression on the children. "I'm sorry any question of loyalty has come up in connection with the school. For even the slightest mention of disloyalty magnifies and.

distorts this incident. I feel deeply that the school does not deserve it. I have just sent in my report on the sale of Thrift Stamps here. We have sold $6,000 worth to date, which. I think, is evidence of the loyal spirit here.

"The feeling among the teachers seems to be that the teacher in charge at the time made a mistake. But he feels so badly about it himself that the general feeling is one of compassion for him rather than anger." $100,000 HEART BALM HER WEDDING DOWRY I Honora May O'Brien, Jilted by Broker Manning, 84, Marries First Love in Ireland. News that has just come from Ireland today reveals that Supreme Court Justice Cropsey was right last summer when he lopped a cool $100,000 from the $225,000 verdict that a Queens County jury awarded Miss Honora May O'Brien because it held that John B. Manning, 84 years old, had trifled with her affections. Justice Cropsey held it wasn't possible Miss O'Brien had been damaged much.

Martin W. Littleton, the aged broker's attorney, went the Court a little better by getting Miss O'Brien to accept $100,000 in full settlement of her breach of promise suit, and nowIt develops that Miss Honora couldn't have been harmed even $100,000 worth by Mr. Manning's come the wife of a Skibbereen farmer failure to marry her, for she a has benamed John Daly, in Ireland; they have a 135-acro farm all their own; they are "very happy" and in ful her own situation--the name. bride has $100,000 Disclosure of the marriage of the erstwhile Miss O'Brien came through an Irish paper received here by a her friend. It showed that she changed name to Daly on November 22, last, and that she and her husband had known each other since childhood.

"He asked her to marry him three years ago, Honora stated, but she refused him and came on to America. When she went back, with the Manning a $100,000, John asked her again to become his bride and Honora consented. They hadn't intended marrying so soon, she wrote, "but we changed our minds." If a writer of fiction were weaving this tale he would say that Honora and John, too poor to marry, said a tearful farewell and Honora came to America to make her fortune. With the fortune in hand, Honora set sail at once to rejoin the man she had always intended to wed--when they had money enough to live on. But Honora, of course, was never SO mercenary, When Broker Manning, 84 years old, asked her to marry him, Honora, 28 years old, never thought of his millions of dollars.

She said "Yes," they were to have been married by Cardinal Farley on December 19, 1916. But, on the day before the ceremony, broker's children got him to telephone that it "all off." Miss O'Brien's brother, from Newport, took up her cause and brought suit for $1,000,000, which they asserted was required to mend Miss O'Brien's broken heart. The Queens County jury that granted an award of $225,000 last June in Long Island City gave the largest heart balm sum ever known in these parts. After Justice Cropsey, knowing women, had taken off $100,000 and Martin Littleton had gotten Miss O'Brien to accept a beggarly $100,000 for all the anguish she had been put to, she sailed for Ireland in August. And they were married and lived happily ever after.

TEACHERS TAKE UP SALARY INCREASES Their Council to Give Hearing 1 to All Associations Next Thursday. SUBJECT A DIFFICULT ONE Some of the Opinion That Time Has Come for a General Revision of Salaries in the Grades.

The executive committee of the Teachers' Council, of which Miss Isabel A. Ennis is secretary, announces canary will schedules give a next hearing Thursday, on teachers' March 14, at 4 p.m., probably in the Hall of Education. The Teachers' Council has been instructed by the Board of Education to present to the board a report upon the subject. It is the wish of those who are agitating for an increase in teachers' salaries that an amendment to the present salary law be presented to the Legislature in time for passage at this session. President Somers desires that the report of the Teachers' Council be ready for consideration by the Board of Education at an adjourned meeting on March 20.

The Teachers' Council met yesterday afternoon and referred the matter to the executive committee, of which President Gross, Miss Ennis and the chairmen of all committees are members, among whom are Miss Clara C. Calkins, principal of No. Miss Jane McCarthy, president of the Brooklyn Class Teachers' Organization; Miss Lillian I. Powers, secretary Interborough Association of Women Teachers, all of Brooklyn, and Miss Agnes Marshall of Newtown High School. The committee met last evening and, in order to save time and to have the subject properly presented, decided upon these rules of order: (1) Each association to be limited to one accredited representative; (2) speeches to be limited to fifteen minutes; (3) each association to submit a typewritten brief containing suggestions, schedules and cost of increase, if possible.

The salary question is not easy one to settle. It is claimed that the amendment proposed by the Brooklyn Teachers Welfare League, while perfectly simple, will not stand the assaults of the taxpayers, for the reason, it is said, that the city cannot stand at this time an addition of about $11,000,000 to its annual expenses. On the other hand, exeryone is convinced that some increase must. be made in salaries of the grade teachers. There are those who are of the opinion that a flat salary for teachers of all of the thirteen grades, kindergarten to 6B, inclusive, is not equitable.

Miss McCarthy, at yesterday's meeting, moved that the teacher-clerks and be included in the salary revision; another moved that the teacners of ungraded classes and classes for the blind should also be included. C. STROHMEYER DIES, WROTE MUSIC LORE Professor Left Manuscriptof Two Volumes on Instruments and Notation. Professor Charles Strohmeyer, 55 years old, of 1124 Putnam avenue, a teacher of piano and violin playing and a lecturer and writer on Wagnerian operas and musical instruments and notation, died Thursday night from heart trouble. Professor Strohmeyer left two volumes of research on I the history of music and musical instruments that will be published posthumously.

The books show that music originated in China and that there are many instruments are not generally known. that, two books of Professor Strohmeyer are "The History and Evolution of Musical Notation" and "A Dictionary of Musical Terms." The principal feature of the dictionary, besides its comprehensiveness, is that it contains descriptions and sketches of every musical instrument that ever was used in any country, a most surprising collection. There is everything from the most up-to-date grand piano to strange pipes and reeds of the ancient Egyptian and Hebrews and Chinese and Assyrians. There are even pottery instruments of queer shape from Mexico and other places, and the "dew-laws," a sort of glorified rattle beloved of the Eskimo. But of interest and value is the information the history of notation.

All the vagaries of music since its origin are carefully traced and reason for the being of many signs is explained. The two volumes are the result of more than twenty-five years of patient research through the records and libraries of music of all nationalities. Professor Strohmeyer was educated in this city and had for his tutors Professor Kyle, Profesor Dearschmidt and Profesor Seidtz. He was an accomplished musician and a student of harmonies. He was born in Braunschweig, Germany, and had been a resident here since Bahai childhood.

Brethren He was of a member of the Brooklyn, and at his funeral services tomorrow evening one of the leading speakers of the sect in this borough, the Howard Mac Nutt. will deliver funeral address. The interment on Monday be in Greenwood Cemetery. Professor Strohmeyer is survived by his wife, Minnie Kleine; a son, Charles, a junior engineer for the Public Service Commission, and a daughter, Mrs. Antonia Stabily, a teacher of music and a lecturer for the Board of Education on Wagnerian music.

LUTHERANS RAISE $1,150,000 The campaign of the Lutheran Churches to raise $750,000 for wartime service has been completed. Straggling reports are still coming in from outlying districts, but they will not add much to the total. The fund reached $1,150,000.

This does not include the money raised for this purpose by the Synodical Conference. No definite reports are in as yet from that body. But it is likely that their funds will bring the total well over $1,500,000. WOMEN G. O.

PRESIDENT PRAISES "WAR GARDEN ARMY" Hopes "That Every School Will Have a Regiment of Volunteers in It." WRITES TO SECRETARY LANE "Childron Should Feel That They Are in Fact Fighting in France." Washington, March 9-President Wilson, in a letter to Secretary Lane, expresses the hope that "every school will have a regiment in the volunteer war garden army of school children that it is estimated may raise this year produce valued 000. The President's letter said: "I sincerely hope that you may be successful through the Bureau of Education in arousing the interest of teachers and children in the schools the United States in the cultivation of home gardens. Every boy and girl who really secs what the home garden may mean will, I am sure, enter into the purpose with high spirits because I am sure they would all like to feel that they are in fact fighting in France by joining the home garden army. "They know that America has undertaken to send meat and flour and wheat and other foods for the support of the soldiers who are doing the fighting, for the men and women who are making the munitions and for the boys and girls of Western Europe and that we must also feed ourselves while we are carrying on this war. The movement to establish gardens, therefore, and to have the children work in them is just as real and patriotic an effort as the building of ships or the firing of cannon.

I hope that this spring every school will have a regiment in the volunteer war garden It is Secretary Lane's idea that is being worked out, through Commissioner Claxton of the Bureau of Education, to have 5,000,000 boys and girls of the schools in every city, town and village in the country, captained by 40,000 teachers, produce as nearly as possible all of the vegetables, small fruits and eggs for their home consumption. To the extent that each district is able to supply itself with these food products, the railways will be relieved of the burden of transportating them, and the Allies of the United States in Europe and our own soldiers on the battle front will get that, much more of the food of which they are in need.
