Le-master. chairman of the board of directors of the college, said the charges, which also alleged extravagance, were brought by "four or five individuals, and were general in character, specifying few grounds." We are going to fool the great majority of those re collectors" today by telling of a conflagration that happened so long ago even the wrinkllest will have only a hazy remembrance of it.

It happened in September, 1848. A glance at the above map will convey an adequate picture of the devastation that occurred when several blocks in the most densly built-up and thickly-populated section were wiped out. Of course the facilities tor extinguishing fires in 1848 were crude compared with those of today, but then. though the houses were noi so and that made some difler ence.

"We brought him down to a ground-floor room," said the hotel-keeper. "He had to have hypodermic Injections to relieve his pain and 1 had to give them to him. In fact, much of the time I had to sleep in an armchair In his room. Not until after he had accepted the Catholic faith would he tolerate the presence of nurses. Died While Asleep "After his conversion he was attended bv two sisters alternately and got along very well with them One night after a period of restlessness he tiled In his sleep." The funeral Is still vivid In the memory of the little hotelkeeper.

"It was a sixth-class burial, the cheapest of all," he said. 'There were only two wreaths, mine and one from the other employes of the hotel. About 40 persons, many being well-known writers, marched in the cortege, and In those days the march was long. "Credit? His friends used to send him money, 300, 500 or 1,000 francs at a time.

As a result, police today were searching for the assailants who had seriously wounded an alleged successor to Frankie Uales' multifarious leaderships, for the armed men who staged four holdups in these two boroughs and for the two gunmen who took part in another robbery, in which one of the victims was killed. Anthony Bonasera, 33, of 7513 13th who according to the police got a crack at leadership when Uale was killed two years ago.

was cornered by two gunmen and fhot six times as he was about to drive away from in front of his home last evening. Removed to Kings County Hospital, he told police that he had no idea who could have had a grudge against him. He is in a serious condition. Refuses Information According to police of the Bath Beach Station who are investigating the shooting. Bonasera informed them not only that he could not identify his assailants but that he "couldn't very well tell" if he did know.

Th? gunmen are believed to have wMted outside until he came oui to enter his car, parked at the curb. A dozen bullets, missing the human target, perforated the side of the machine. Bonasera, known to the police as "The Chief," is said to be prominently i'ientified with "floating crap pames," the slot machine racket and other forms of activity in which the autnorities have displayed much interest recently. According to detectives of the Bath Beach station, Bonasera had been arrested for carrying a gun and been questioned In connection with three or four recent Brooklyn homicides. 'Killers' in New Holdup Two well-dressed young men, believed by police the killers of Abraham Arrand, driver for the Borden Milk Company, who was slain yesterday, today held up William Rothschild, collector for the Borden Company, in the vestibule at 381 Clifton Place.

The robbery yielded $125. One of the bandits ordered Rothschild to put up his hands. The ether went through his pockets and took the cash. Rothschild was told to stay in the vestibule for five minutes, thpn the robbers fled. They escaped in a taxicab.

Descriptions of the men tally closely, according to the police, with these of the thugs who shot Arrand down.

A mounted officer in Manhattan used his horse last night to frustrate the attempt of a holdup man to get away and saved $2,237 which had just been taken from two employes of the Packard Motor Company.

Patrolman Leonard saw the robbers running and gave chase. At 67th St. and 9th Ave. he cornered one, forced him into a doorway and held him there. The robber, found to have the entire haul in his pockets, was locked up at the 47th St.

I The former president of the Fed-! eral Council of Churches of Chrii-t in America, who recently returned from Europe, discussed "Europe at the Crovrnad" last night at the Brooklyn Jewish Center, 667 Eastern Park ay. Dr. Cadman was Introduced to the audience of more than 500 by Dr. Herbert Israel pevinthal, rabbi of the Brooklyn Jewish Center.

The program was arranged by Max Herzfcld, chairman of the forum committee. 'Pitiless Publicity Curbs' The speaker analyzed the attitude of the people of Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Italy, Russia and Turkey toward better international relationships and declared that the "pitiless publicity of the League of Nations" has served to obviate many recent misunderstandings between nations. "The people of Great Britain are bowed down under their war said Dr. Cadman, "and the great difficulty is they may lie down and are 1.24O.0O0 workless people in England and no man is quite the rarne after he has stood in a bread line. "The British people have made tip their minds that they will not be mulcted to pay for wars, sometimes called the sport of kings, which make hell pale in comparison.

Cadman deicribed President Hindenburg of Germany as "one of the noblest men in the world" and declared that "the Hitlerites do not represent the stiong common sens of the German people." The speaker said the Treaty of Versailles was "dictated by force Instead of The treaty l.s the public law of Eu-rop, he tald, and France mil not convnt to Its change, although no tre3ty can stand hu is based on a fabrication." "Russia looms over all like a ghantic cloud." said Dr. Cadman. She is neither Fast nor West but stands like a buffer, a government sustained not by the mill of the people b'lt by force of bayonets.

Cousin Wilde's False Teeth Prized by Boniface Keeper of Little Pari Hotel, Where Writer Spent Declining Years, Recalls Eccentric Guest and Arduous Role of Host tionary and communistic. Although I am less than anyone a gloomy ascetic, this so-called new sex life of the young and often of the older ones, too, often seems to be entirely bourgeois, Just another form of the bourgeois house of prostitution. "All this has nothing to do with free love as we Communists understand it.

You, of course, are well acquainted with the famous the 1 helma Nurenberg ory that in a Communist society the satisfaction of the sex impulse and the demands of love will be as simple and as Inconsequential as the drinking of a glass of water. "Young Gone Mad" "Really, our young people have gone mad over that theory. It has become the evil fate of many boys and girls. Its devotees insist that it is a Marxist theory. Certainly thirst must be satisfied.

But does a normal person, under normal conditions, lie in the street and drink from mud puddles? Or even from a glass that dozens of other people have been drinking from? But still more important is the social aspect of it. Drinking water Is an individual matter. But two participate in love, and from it arises a third, new life. Here, the Interests of society come In, the duty of the collective must be considered. "I don't for a minute want to preach Communism must bring the Joy of life and vigor which comes from the completeness of the lore life.

The excess in sex life so often observed at the present time does not, In my opinion, bring with It joy of life and vigor, but on the contrary, lessens them. "Youth Sports" "Youth needs healthy sport, swimming, excursions, physical training of all kinds, a variety of mental Interests, study, investigation, scientific research. A sound body makes a sound mind. We want neither monks nor Don Juans, nor yet the German phillstines as the happy mediums "You know our young friend a fine, highly gifted youth. I am afraid that in spite; of that, nothing good will come of him.

He Jumps from one love affair to another. That doesn't go for either the political struggle or the revolution. The revolution demands concentration, the straining of all energies by the masses and the individual. The proletarian Is an advancing class. He doesn't need drunkenness to deaden or arouse him, either through sexual In-temperence or alcohol he needs clarity." During 1924 and 1925 commenced aaLa a period of reaction.

Thee arose a deep depression resulting In many suicides. Many of these cases were young people, tired of life because they had lived not wisely but too well. The Comsomols, the young of the country who belonged to the Juvenile faction of the Communist party, inaugurated a policy calling for higher standards in moral life. Sex promiscuity, drinking, dancing and laxness In conduct were severely censured, and an attitude of re sponsibility toward life and one another became prevalent. Even to this day while one sees happy groups of youth one immediately feels that it is a serious, sober youth.

No Alimony for Well The settlement of alimony, aliments as they call it, has taken an unusual turn in Russia. Alimony is given to a wife only when she Is sick, and not able to work. Then a certain portion of the husband's salary is allotted to her. during the entire time of her incapacity to support herself. But should he be out of work, or ill, then the woman Is obliged to assume the same responsibility.

The State does not provide rulings wherein a man must pay alimony to a woman who is capable of working. Such arrangements can be made at the voluntary contribution of the man. There is no illegitimate child problem In Russia. When a child is born out of wedlock, there is no aspersion cast on either mother or child. When a girl finds that she is an expectant mother, she appeals to the man to marry her, If she loves him, and when he refuses, she turns to the court.

Father Must Support He is then forced to bear the expense of the childbirth as well as donating a certain portion of his income for her support. Although women have been known to inveigle men into living with them for the purpose of support, and there have been proven many cases of unjust accusation, men assume their paternal responsibilities. Children of divorced parents are given to the parent moet capable of rearing them. But the fact that the father is a Communist, or the mother, usually turns the case In the interests of Communism, While divorce Is very common among the youth of Russia, it has been proven that where Is a child, divorces are less frequent. My first reaction, when I came to Russia, and heard the countless stories, was that male was competing with male in an effort to reach the highest numbers in divorces.

Conditions Alike But after a while I realized that what they call marriage In Russia was done elsewhere as frequently under the name of union' llbre. That when people lived together without the benefit of clergy the respect and love devoted to the ones Involved was every bit ai sincere and as responsible as those In William (William H.

Wilde came to the little hotel under the name of "Sebastian Mel-motte" and stayed three and a half years, until his death In November, 1800. "He was an exacting guest," said Dupoirier."
