CROPSEY RESERVES FIGHT BOWL VERDICT; BOUTS ON TONIGHT Neighbors Testify Henderson Arena Is Nuisance A Blessing, Say the Fans. Justice Cropsey in Supreme Court reserved decision late yesterday 011 the application for an injunction which would put the Henderson Bowl, at Nostrand ave.

and Sterling where the Nostrand A. C. holds weekly boxing bouts, out of commission. Justice Cropsey, after listening to the testimony of complainants, commented on the fact that raucous noises and the honk and smell of a thousand motorcars are unpleasant, and to offset any possible construction on that observation he mentioned the fact that the parking of thousands of motorcars in the vicinity of Boro Hall also is unpleasant. A decision is expected within a few days, but there will be no interterence with tonight's bouts.

It was thought likely Justice Cropsey might attend tonight's affair on the quiet to see for himself just how much, it any, the neighbors exaggerated, and to what extent Charles L. Henderson and his aides and friends "soft-pedaled" the description of the noise and activities. The neighbors who testified that the Bowl is a nuisance were Charles Hamm of 280 Sterling William McCall of 300 Sterling John H. O' Brien of 471 Lincoln sexton the R. C.

Church of St. Francis Assisi, who said sisters in the convent had complained to him of the noise from the fight fans, and Miss Alice C. Halliday of 261 Sterling st. The most interesting point in the testimony by and for the neighbors that folks to bed rather was that section, for they told early in lost sleep and it was definitely of established that the last peep of the fight fans was never regdeparting istered after 11:10 p.m. Several of the neighbors testified solemnly that they retire regularly between 9:30 and 10 o'clock.

Henderson told about the construction of the Bowl, and Abe vice president of the club; Brown, Jim Shilliton, who supplied the hard lumber seats for the Bowl; PasSavareese, one of Henderson's quale landlords; Abe Green, a fight fan of Lefferts and Joseph F. 281 235 Midwood were 311 Grady of that the Bowl was a bless. dead sure ing. rather than a nuisance. neighbors put in evidence the The records of the Boxing Commission and the Board of Standards and Ap.

in an effort to show that the licenses were irregular by reason of peals false information sworn to alleged by Henderson, and Justice Cropsey he would consider that in con. said nection with the main problem. 2 ARRESTED AS DRY SLEUTHS RAID ROOF OF THE BELLECLAIRE A visit by Federal Prohibition agents resulted in the arrest shortly after 1 o'clock this morning, charged with selling liquor, of a waiter and 2, captain of waiters at the roof of the Belle Claire Hotel, Broadway and 77th st. The agents also a summons with the manager of the roof, W. Heath.

The men arrested and locked up at the W. 47th st. police station described themselves as Robert Gavsel, 33, of 354 W. 48th and John Romiti, 39, of 133 W. 64th st.

The basis of the charge against the waiters and manager was the purchase by the agents, they said, of one pint of rye whisky for $6. The arrests at the Belle Claire are the first made at a hotel since the Ritz-Carlton raid, and were made following the visit to the hotel roof of Federal Agents Becker, Nichol, Slater and Owens. Attired in evening clothes and posing as promoters of boxing matches, the agents talked over "plans" while seated at a table on the roof. Activities there were at their height. The agents discussed fighters, and soon engaged the interest of Gavsel, who was waiting on their table.

The agents said Gavsel called the captain, Romiti, and gave the for the agents to get liquor. As soon as they had received the liquor the agents revealed their identity and Becker and Nichol grabbed the waiter and his captain.

Lake Tahoe, July 22-The Eagle party arrived at Lake Tahoe Tavern last evening on schedule time, completing their three-day ride over the Tioga Pass road without so much as a tire blowout. Every one was delighted with the boulevard and varied scenery and the comfort and efficiency of the Yosemite transportation service on this 300-mile mountain drive. After leaving Minden the party visited, as guests H.

Dangberg, his ranch. Mr. Dangberg's stories of the life of a Nevada cattle rancher proved most interesting. Driving through the wide mountain-rimmed Carson Valley Eagle party stopped at Carson City, where they ate at the Capitol. James G.

Scrugham welcomed the Brooklyn guests to his State and gave an interesting talk on the great reservoirs of Nevada. Mrs. George S. Frank responded for the party. Accompanied by Lt.

Gov. Maurice J. Sullivan The Eaglets visited the State penitentiary, where they viewed with much interest the footprints of mastodons, giant birds, deer and giant men, all prehistoric, which were found in the rock foundation of the prison yard. Warden Dickerman showed and explained the workings of the gas chamber used in Nevada for executions. After driving past Mark Twain's house in Carson City the road took the tourists over another mountain range to Glenbrook, where they first saw beautiful Lake Tahoe.

During luncheon, songs composed en route added to the gayety. The ride around Lake Tahoe, whose brilliant blue and green coloring and surrounding mountains recall the Italian Lakes, was thoroughly enjoyed. Arriving at Tahoe ern many members of the Eaglets enjoyed a swim. Informal dancing at the Casino ended the day. All in The Eagle party are well.

$300,000 DAMAGE IN MANHATTAN FIRE Damage estimated at $300,000 was done today by a stubborn. smoky, three-alarm fire in the plant of the Standard Commercial Body ation, 423 to 431 E. 104th Manhattan, A two-story brick structure, in which more than 100 complete and incomp'ete motortrucks and horse-drawn vehicle bodies were destroyed. The fire spread to the poultry market at 419, where $10,000 worth of live poultry was destroyed, the property of Morris Romaner. Nearly 100 workmen in the building escaped when the fire, originating in the office of the Standard Corporation, spread rapidly.

The fireboats Cornelius W. Lawrence, from the Harlem River and the Abram S. Hewitt from Brooklyn responded on the third alarm. A line of hose was run from each boat. FREDERICK S.

DAVIS HOPES TO CUT ACCEPTANCE SPEECH TO 4,000 WORDS Candidate Aims to Hit Only High Spots -Walsh to Be Equally Brief. Dark Harbor, Islesboro, July 22-A precedent in brevity is the goal of John W.

Davis in the preparation of his address accepting the Democratic Presidential nomination. His idea now is to cover the field generally wth emphasis on the more important issues of the day, such as honesty in government, foreign affairs, taxes and tariff and farm relief. As a matter of fact, the occasion requires the discussion of so inany different subjects that Mr. Davis cannot make his speech as brief as he would like. Total of 4,000 Words, While he has not determined finally upon even the framework, his present intention is to confine the whole discussion to approximately 4,000 words, which would require about 40 minutes in delivery.

The notification address to be made by Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, Permanent Chairman of the New York Democratic Convention, probably will be equally brief, so that the ceremonies at Clarksburg. W. on the night of Aug. 11, should be much shorter than have been similar affairs, at least in recent years.

As the second step in the tion of his address, the nominee is studying the several party platforms and the keynote addresses delivered at the Cleveland and New York concentions. His first step was to discuss the whole subject generally with party leaders in the series of conferences held at New York during the week after his nomination. tion. Candidate in Fine Fettle. After three days of rest and recreation here.

Mr. Davis has a sparkle of the eye and a healthy glow of face which were lacking when he left New York after a whirlwind of conferences made necessary by the shaping of a campaign organization. He himself declares that the invigorating Maine air, together with the dropping of political cares, has done him a world of good and he expects to return to New York in tip-top condition for the hard months of campaigning that will be ahead. Having devoted two days to complete rest, Davis had his first recreation yesterday, a round of golf on the Tarratine course, which winds elong a cove and through woods where once the Tarratine Indians pitched their wigwams or stalked game. Frank L.

Polk, his law partner and friend and adviser, was his adversary and they have arranged for daily matches. MOTORCAR KILLINGS SHOW BIG INCREASE Up 60.6 Percent Since 1921 in State Outside Metropolis.

Police Seaplanes Start Patrol of Harbor to Stop Spread of Oil by Ships A police air patrol of Greater New York began today for the detection a and subsequent arrest of boats discharging bilge oil in the bays and rivers of New York for the apprehension of violators of the city ordinance against low flying of airylanes and for the location of partly submerged bodies in the waters surrounding New York. Six seaplanes of the Police Department, located at the base at Hamilton, are ordered into immediate, the service result from of sunrise an order until issued last night by Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright to Inspector General Charles W.

McKinney, in charge of the police reserves. A report made public yesterday in Washington, D. by the United States Public Health Service that oil discharged from shipe and manufacturing establishments ents along the Atlantic coast is causing a "public peril." While it is reported that New York Bay this summer has been comparatively free from tar or oil, some deposits of oil on the waters about Bay Ridge have been noticed at low tide and for this reason shell fish taken from Jamaica Bay have not been permited to be sold. Discharge of oil from a boat can easily, be and detected from of the a Police great occupants Department seaplanes will watch sterns of boats in the harbor for such discharges. Upon sighting a boat discharging oil, the pilot of the seaplane will fly into Fort Hamilton and from there notify police headquarters.

The skipper of the vessel, upon reaching port, will be arrested for violation of the Federal law, State statute and city ordinance. The patrol of the air of New York will be in direct charge of Maj. Frederick Klein, commander of the aviation division of the police reserves. While on patrol today the pilot of the police seaplane will keep a lookout for the bodies of the six children drowned in the upset of a canoe off the shore of Connecticut. It is thought possible the bodies may have floated along Long Island Sound toward New York City, in which event the half-submerged bodies may be detected by the pilot of the Police Department plane.

Tries for 15 Years to Find Owner of Old Bible Here For 15 years Mrs. Kate Grummet of 21 St. John's pl. has had conscientious scruples about a Bible found by her grandson, Melvin, among some old books thrown out at the time of the fire of the McNally warehouse, on 4th between 95th and 97th sts! The Grummets at that time lived across the street from the warehouse. Mrs.

Grummet a discovered that valuable family records of births, marriages and deaths were contained in the Bible, and felt the importance of restoring it to its owner. The name, Henry G. Starin, on the fly leaf and the address, Auburn, 1858, gave her but little aid in her search. Only recently has she been able to start a vigorous investigation. She found the name "Starin" in some church records at Fort Hamilton, but glean nothing more about the family there.

She learned that a Starin had charge of boats running up the Sound to Glen Island at that time, but her clew led her no frther. for Congress in the Flatbush section this year. The Republicans, who will hold a meeting early next week. are expected to select either Warren I. Lee or Lewis H.

Pounds. F. J. H. Kracke, Lewis M.

Swasey and Warren Price, G. 'O. P. leaders in charge of the Congressional district now represented at Washington by Charles I. Stengle, certain that a Republican victory is in sight this fall.

Their district is ordiwarily Republican by a large majority, and Stengle won only because of the Smith landslide two years Democratic, Leader John H. McCooey has commissioned Henry Hesterberg, leader of the 21st A. Flatbush proper, to begin a search for Mr. Stengle in order to find out what the Congressman plans to do. The organization does not want to renominate him because of his peculiar ideas about patronage distribution, but if certain defeat looms in the district for the Democrats it might not be bad politics to hand Stengle the nomination for the sole purpose of getting him out of the way gracefully.

Stengle is nobody's fool, however, and unless he sees a chance to win he will not permit himself to be named again. With the chances to win about even in the district the Democrats might nominate Dr. Love. If the situation immediately before election is anything like it is today, however, Curren stands the best chance of being designated. Walter F.

Clayton is fairly certain to be renominated for Assembly by the Republicans. De There Democrats has giving been George some talk Steinbugler of the it will more difficult this another chance, to beat Clayton, but year than it was last year, and. unless Smith consents to run and there are other developments favorable to Hesterberg crowded Steinbugler will probably until next year. While it is fairly certain that the Republicans will pick their Senatorial candidate from the 17th A. there is no outstanding name under consideration at present.

A. W. Burlingame, is understood to have said definitely that he will not run again. Meanwhile Warren Price of the 18th A. with a little assistance trom his mentor, Mr.

Kracke, has taken up the question of a candidate for Assembly to run against Irwin Steingut. Messrs. Pinto and Goodfried are both being discussed at the ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER BY NUNNALLY JOHNSON The Old, Old Bills Were the Only True Bills, the Kind We Loved and Argued About--Alas! wasn't so long ago-1900. Many of us who knew that date are still alive. Indeed, it was not half so long ago as 1800.

And yet, as one contemplates document which an old citizen of the Republic has brought forth, it seems fully 24 years ago. Henry Ford in those days was riding a bicycle. Mayor Hylan had just given up the profession of motorman, a nobler profession than which never existed. People were singing "Tammany" as loud as anything. Last night I was witness of an incident which brought to me the tragedy of the passage of time.

I was present when Luther P. Hook, elderly employee of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, brought forth the following bill: 3 pounds sugar 19c pound butter 13c pound lard 10c pint sherry wine 20c pounds brown sugar 10c pint milk 4c package bacon 12c barr' 1 wood 25c 1 quart strawberries 10c Mr. Hook is a gentleman of the old school, white and chivalrous in the extreme, wlling always to be second in anything, particularly in drinking out of a new and uncertain bottle. Always he asks somebody else to. have the first drink.

But, take one thing with another, Mr. Hook is an ingratiating personality. He never slaps guests, he always offers what he's got no matter how bad it is. and you can scarcely ask for more of a man than that. He pulled this bill out of a pile of old papers: papers which he had been going through idly.

One can scarcely blame Mrs. Hook for screaming when the old gentleman fainted. Things are SO high these days. Nobody knows what the world is coming to. And every day it seems to grow worse.

As for me, I scarcely know what to do half the time. The Socialists are coming on, the Republicans don't seem to be the party they used to be and the Democrats are almost as bad. A body hardly knows which way to turn. And here was this bill, reeking out of, the past, bringing memories and queer notions to the mind of the too? I scarcely understand. -this sherry? Did grocers sell that, present-day shopper.

What was this It was the same with Mr. Hook. The kindly old gentleman tottered in his chair. It was an echo from the past-a past that was pleasant and inexpensive. Tenderly the old Brooklynite brushed the fallen tears from the Post delightedly and delightfully enPresidential nominee, at the Mrs.

Charles Dana Gibson, whose "700 Acre" Island, Maine, where entering the whirl of the Presidential book containing the account. Mrs. Hook settled down beside him on the floor. Myrtle Hook hung on the chandelier, interested in every word her father spoke. In a voice that trembled, old man Hook read more of the items.

"Sugar, 5 cents." he read, and the mother and daughter looked into the open fire and dreameddreams of cheese that went for 9 to have when the weekly bill was of the good old rows Mr. Hook used cents, of lemons that went for 2, more than $3.85 for a family of 34. On Sept. 28, 1900, Mr. Hook paidand here it was in black and white 8.8 proof-80 cents for 5 pounds of veal, 32 cents for two pounds of round steak and 15 cents for two pounds of sausages.

This, Mr. Hook noted to his audience, was not on the hoof, either, but in a regular butcher shop, run at that time at 245 Reid ave. A pound of roast beef at that time made him reach for 14 cents; a pound of bacon cost him 15 cents: two pounds of mutton-spelled in those benighted days, mouton--cost him 24 cents; a pound of liver, 6 cents when bought separately, thrown in when anything else wa3 bought; and ham was 33 cents and consequently expensive and not often served. Mr. Hook went crazy one time and bought 16 pounds of sugar and it cost him $1 flat.

That same day, in the long, long ago, salmon cost him 25 cents and a yeast cake--what were they 2 cents. And a day later nounds of chicken sunk the Hook family fund 75 cents. can remember," Mr. Hook said to Mrs. Hook, "when you raised that terrible fuss when I paid 7 cents instead of 6 cents for a half pound of Do you remember that, darling?" "Yes, macushla," she replied.

"Listen," said Mr. Hook: 1 lb. frosting 8c. Drief beef 14c. bag 5c.

Somehow it sounded old and suddenly weak. "Truth." said the daughter, who was half-witted, "is indeed stranger than fiction." But the old couple did not hear. They were staring into the fire, seeing the long, long ago. 'Their hands met and clasped. And the only sound was from the fire as the steady flow of tears slowly quenched the I flames.

K. Bugbee that the bad standing of Mickey Walker, welterweight champion, with the New York Boxing Commission, would have no bearing on the proposed meeting of Walker and Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, at Boyle's Thirty Acres on Aug. 21. Walker is in the bad graces of the New York Commission because of his refusal to meet Dave Shade, Pacific Coast boxer. Leonard and his manager, Billy Gibson, as well as Tex Rickard, promoter of the bout, have all been threatened with revocation of their licenses in New York if Leonard meets Walker before Walker meets Shade.

"Leonard and Walker have been given permission to fight in New Jersey and are both in g-od standing as far as this State is concerned." was Mr. Bugbee's comment. He added that he nad not yet been officially informed of the difficulties in which the boxers are involved on the other side of the Hudson.

Starin was the founder of Glen Island, and one of boats which operated between Manhattan and the resort was named Myndert Starin, a name which appears among the birth and death notices in Mrs.

Grummet's precious records, where it reads "Myndert Starin, born 1786, died 1845." The records go back as far as 1754, and among the names listed therein are those of Charles S. Gray. Charles Trumbull White, Chloe Gaylord, Jane Wempie, Nicholas Henry, Mary Ann Kellogg. David Henry Easton and Henry J. Wells.
