PILAT Women may not visit the 320-foot coast guard destroyer Hunt at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, all because of Jerry the Mascot.

Jerry is a leopard. A 75-pound, one-year-old Junele cat. historic words of greeting. He was William F. Shiebler who was chosen for this honor on account of his high standing among the telegraph operators of his day.

Shiebler, who lived at 755 Greene Ave. for many years and died there in 1907, was born in Baltimore. He was a brother of Andrew K. Shieb ler, of whom a sketch was recently printed in this reries, and of George W. Shiebler, whose life story will appear at a later date.

Began at Bottom William began at the bottom of the ladder In the world of teleg raphy, starting as a messenger in the Washington office of the old American Telegraph. Whatever leisure time he had was devoted to practice with the telegraph key and with the help and advice of the ex pert he soon became proficient. The proudest day of his life was the one on which he interpreted the dots and dashes that told the world that the Queen of England was de lighted to be able to send her best wishes to the President of the United States and to congratulate the world on the fulfillment of Morse's dream of annihilating space and telling nld Father Time Just where to get on. Shiebler also had the distinct of receiving the telegraph message that told of the fall of Richmond at the close of the Civil War. He had served his country throughout the war as a telegrapher and it was fitting that he should have been the man to receive the clicks that told the news of the end of the conflict.

He was commissioned to open the first military telegraph station used In the Civil War at Perryville, Md When Baltimore was cut off at the beginning of the trouble, following the stoning ot the Massachusetts troops there, Shiebler was instructed to establish a station as near Balti more as possible, and the Perryville location was selected. From here the Capitol was kept Informed of the situation in Baltimore, and from this small beginning grew the great network of wire communication that had so much to do with the final settlement of the strife. Was in Ford's Theater Shiebler was in Ford's Theater the night Lincoln was shot, and helped to restore order among the excited spectators. In 1868 Shiebler came to Brooklyn and entered the employ of the jewelry firm of which his brother, Andrew, was a member, as a travel ing salesman. Later he became a partner of his other brother, George in the manufacture of silverware, and remained with the firm until his death.

Despite a highly successful bust ness career, Shiebler never lost his interest in telegraphy, and always maintained his membership in the Old Time Telegraphers Association, to which belonged for 42 years. One of Shiebler adventures as young man was as a gold seeker, He Joined the first gold rush to California, but tiring of the hard ships of a gold-miner's life, he was glad to return to his telegraph key in Washington. Cidberlson Hits Culienle, Bridge Test as Gambling Agua Caliente, Mexico, April 25 IP) Agua Caliente's proposed $10,000 bridge tournament has received the indorse-of William McKinney of Cleveland, Ohio, secretary of the American Bridge League, but has brought disapproval from Ely Culbertson, bridge expert. "I am unalterably opposed to any tournament which places bridge on a gambling basis, and I am interested only in fhe promotion of contract bridge as an intellectual pastime," Culbertson telegraphed. Officials of the resort said there will be no gambling in the proposed tournament, which, they said will be on the same basis as the annual Agua Caliente open golf championship.

Each player will be charged an entrance fee of $50, all fees being distributed as prizes at the close of play, with $10,000 being guaranteed by the Agua Caliente Company. To Hit Massie Insanity Plea Will Be Last Witness-Jury 31 ay Get SIay ing Case Tomorrow; Honolulu, April 25 (A) The insanity plea of Lt. Thomas H. Massie, on trial with three others for the slaying of a native, faced a final attack today by another expert in. the workings of the human mind.

To the testimony of two physi" cinns that Massie was not insans when he slew Joseph Kahahawai, who he was convinced criminally attacked Mrs. Massie, the prosecution was prepared to all the testimony of a third Dr. Joseph Catton, Stanford University psychiatrist. Alienist Gives Report Dr. Catton was to take the witness stand to again stress to the Jury of mixed racial origin the prosecution's contention the Hawaiian was slain by a sane man, killing with revenge in his heart.

The defense contends the United States Naval officer became temporarily insane while trying to ob. tain a confession that would restore his wife's good name. Dr. Catton is the last witness by which Public Prosecutor John O. Kclley hopes to send Massie, his society matron mother-in-law, Mrs.

Granville Fortescue, and two Navy enlisted men, Albert O. Jones and E. J. Lord, to prison. The psychiatrist was brought here from the mainland last week and court was adjourned Saturday to permit him to complete his study of the case.

Yesterday he submitted a long report to Kelley. Its contents were not revealed, but it was learned Dr. Catton agreed with Drs. Paul Bowers and Robert Faus, the physicians who testified Friday, that Ma.ssie was sane when he fired ths shot that killed Kahahawai. Case to Jury Tomorrow With the defense resting upon Massie's plea of temporary insanity, Kelley has concentrated upon trying to convince the jury that he was not insane, for, under Hawaiian law.

If Massie is innocent by reason of lnstanity, then all of the defendant a are Innocent. The 'State hoped to complete it rebuttal with Dr. Catton's testimony and attorneys believed tht case would reach the Jury not later than tomorrow. Taxicab Board Quiets Fears of Owner-Operators Shows hy First Doci'mou That -It Will Not Favor Proprietors of Big Fleet! That the Board of Taxicab Control will not favor fleet operator! was Indicated in its first decision. handed down yesterday.

Maurice Hotchner, chairman, announced that the board had unani mously denied the petition of an operator of 50 cabs to transfer hia licenses to new taxis after repossession of the original fleet for fail ure to meet installment payments. The content of the ruling revealed that applicants- for taxi licenses will be required to "present a history of business dealings In accordance with accepted standards."

3 New Bishops To Be Elected By Methodists Atlantic City Conference to Act on Vacancies as CIcricg Reach Age Limit At least three new bishops will be elected at the 31st delegated quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which will open a week from todav for a month's session in Atlantic City. Eight Hundred and forty drtc-gates from all parts of the world will attend, and services will be held on each of the four Sundays of the session, in the Municipal Auditorium in Atlantic City at which 25,000 are expected to take part. The last conference was held it Kansas City, and since then Bishops William F. McDowell of Washington, William F. Anderson of Boston and Thomas Nicholson of Detroit have reached the age at which, by Methodist law, they must retire.

It is expected that their successors will be elected, although. It has been suggested that no new bishops be chosen, as a measure ot economy. Bishop Francis J. McConnell of the New York area, it appeared certain, would be returned to that area for another four-year period. 1.500 AT HOLY NAME RALLY More than 1.500 members attended the quarterly meeting of the Brooklyn Diocesan Union of the Holy Name yesterday in the auditorium of the R.

Jimmy Watts, communistic leader in the general strike of Scotland and a convert to the group move ment, said: "Communism is challenging the world for the very reason that it claims the loyalty of youth. This same loyalty if put to work in the behalf of Jesus Christ would tend to bring about a better world for all to live in. we are an pan oi tne moral problem of the universe, and without the guidance of Christ we are a lost neople."

Told Plan to Kin She discussed with relatives the possibility of "puting Joseph out of his misery" and taking her own life, but they advised against it. Police said she left instructions to her relatives to dispose of her property and pay the bills, which amounted to about $3,000. She also Indicated where 50 cents could be found "to pay the newspaper boy." NOTABLE By ft 7 OMENS colleges are tories for spinsters, savs Willis J. Ballinger In an article In the May Forum. Mr.

Ballinger is in a position to know. He has taught in two of them. Taking the class of 1927 as an example, only 47 percent of the Smith College graduates are mar ried today, while no more than 46 percent of the Vassar graduates and 41 percent of the Bryn Mawr graduates have succeeded in finding mates within the five-year period. Every other girl that enters a women's college is practically taking the "intellectual veil," and Mr. Ballinger is Inclined to lay all the blame on the colleges.

"Education," he says, "began in a cloister. The curse of its origin is still upon it." Life in the women's colleges, with Its sterile cerebration, "ascetic reveries," "contempt for the flesh" and teachers who are invariably "dull livers," is stupefying, to say the least. 'Revolution Necessary' A revolution is necessary. The girls must be given more opportunities to meet young men. The datelerj girl should be extirpated The colleges must instill in the girls a taste and a desire for stylish clothes, artistic makeup, social graces and plenty of boy friends.

And, as a sop for the mothers, Mr. Ballinger would have the young ladies acquire a respect for mother' hood and an interest in home economics. Mr. Ballinger, however, is rather too severe on the female of the species. He forgets that there are two parties to every bareain, matri' monial or otherwise.

Perhaps the real reason lor the frequency of sptnsterhood among college women lies not so much In their lack of attractiveness and social graces as It does In the shortcomings of the male. The uneducated flapper is easily satisfied. She rushes into marriage and repents at- leisure. The mod ern, independent college woman can afford to take her time in selecting a mate, but once she has made her choice, her marriage is more likely to endure as rich and satisfying. RUSSIA PLANNING TO BOLD SIBERIA USSIA is learning a lesson ffrom Japan's tactics in Man-churia.

She must develop Eastern Siberia, and develop it quickly, or she may lose it to the Japanese. The country is much too vast for its 2,000,000 inhabitants, its natural riches far too abundant not to attract the greedy eyes that look across from the Japantzed Manchu state. The three main cities of Eastern Siberia Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Blagoveschemsk seem like iso lated posts in an immense wilderness. Vladivostok, Russia's sole port on the Pacific, has lost much of its trade to the Japanese Dairen. As a part of the second five-year plan, however, the Soviets intend to strengthen the position of this city and establish powerful industries in the other two.

Pushing Air Lines Most probably, it Is with this Eastern empire in mind that Russia is rapidly establishing air lines throughout her fifth of the globe. Her air lines last year totaled 44.900 kilometers an increase of 55 percent over the preceding year and 23,000 passengers were carried a distance of 7,000,000 kilometers. 1832 DEFENSE BILL ONLY $11,939,247 A HUNDRED years ago the United States was a comparatively small, defenseless nation. Only a few years earlier, in 1814, British troops marched into Washington and fired the Capitol. Nevertheless, the bill for our national defense in 1832, including both army and navy, amounted to only $11,939.247.32..

Today the United States is the most powerful nation on earth. The peoples 'of the world come begging at our doors not a single one of them would dream of starting a war with us. Yet our military expenditures, army and navy, for 1932 are listed at $832,439,978.47. while nearly $1,000,000,000 has been set aside for the Veterans Bureau. 62 Percent for Military Purposes Moreover, we are paying interest on the public debt and $440,082,000 toward its retirement.

Both of these items may be counted as military, because they are largely the heritage of the World War. All told, practically 62 percent of our $4,219,950,338.88 budget Is going for military purposes. Just imagine the United States without this terrific burden! How relieved the taxpayer would feel! And what a heaven we would have were all these dollars to go toward social betterment! In 1930 the 48 States of the Union together spent less for education, charities, hospitals and correctional institutions tfian the Federal Government is devoting to its army and navy. SO OF 8,506 BOOKS IN 1931 ARE 'NOTABLE' a. ii'.

kUT of the 8,506 new books published in the United States last year, the editorial committee of the American Library Association has selected 50 as the "notable books of 1931." Only two ar novels, and of these one Is really a social study Pearl Buck's "Good Earth." But six are biographies, five of them closely related to social problems. The rest have to do mainly with economics and social sciences. These are serious times. Their tenor is reflected in the above selection. Although this does not mark the end of fiction, it does show that the American reading public is growing up and that there were at least 50 worthwhile books last year.

Coney Crowds Don Bathing Suits but Few Enter Surf Chill Wind Keeps 350,000 Visitors to Beach on Move Mercury Climbs Slowly Although a slowly-climbing thermometer failed to reach 60 until 5:30 yesterday afternoon, 350,000 persons visited Coney Island and more than 100,000 went to the Rockaways. A large number got into bathing suits, but very few braved the water. A chill northwest wind kept every one on the move and fought the rising temperature. Ail Long Island beaches reported sizeable crowds of visitors, and in New Jersey the coast resorts had the largest throngs since Easter.

The Eden Musee at Coney Island was open for the first time since the recent fire, but Luna Park will not be open for business until late in May. Skeptical of Allowing Sale of Naturally Fermented Beverages as Proposed Washington, April 25 IJP) Organ ized anti-prohibitionists in Con gress today looked with consider able skepticism on the proposal by Donald D. Conn, director of the California Vineyardists Association, that the Eighteenth Amendment be modified to permit the sale of nat urally fermented beverages. Meanwhile, Secretary Hyde and the office of Attorney General Mitchell denied a statement by conn that ult Industries, "had its genesis as a result of conferences between the Department of Justice, the Treasury and the Department of Agriculture in Washington." Chairman Stone, however, said me farm Board did not "loan a penny" to fruit Industries "until it had been assured by the Department of Justice, the Treasury and the Prohibition Bureau that the grape concentrate business of that com pany was perfectly A statement by the Department oi justice said it "was never consulted and did not participate in any conference concerning the marketing of grape concentrates for making wine in the home." While House supporters of the prohibition laws remained silent Representative Linthicum of chairman of the House wet bloc, expressed the opinion that "Congress will never agree to a change in the prohibition laws that favors one industry." Representative LaGuardia of New York held differences between the vineyardists and the Federal Gov ernment "are the inevitable and expected fermentation of hypocrisy," Baptist Temple Protests Change Of Trolley Line Would Make Services Near ly Impossible, Petition Tells Board of Estimate Claiming that removal of the street car tracks from Livingston St. to Schermerhorn St.

would make religious service "well-nigh impos sible," 2,000 members of Baptist Temple, 3d Ave. and Schermerhorn have sent a petition to the Board of Estimate protesting the suggestion. The petition follows the recent an nouncement of the Downtown Brooklyn Association that a questionnaire was being sent to members on the trolley route change. What Petition Says The petition sent by the church members says, in part: "Our church is already greatly in convenienced by the combination of the trolley tracks on 3d with uie resultant noises in connectoin with cars passing and the rumbling of the elevated railroad on Flatbush Ave. "With the coming of the subway in Schermerhorn from the experiences we are to be f'irther interfered with and if the trolley car tracks were to be placed in Schermerhorn St.

it would be well nigh impossible for the church to continue at this great downtown location." Not Taking Sides Thomas A. Swift, executive secretary of the Downtown Association, said concerning this petition: "The Board of Estimate doesn't even know anything about this suggestion. The association is not sponsoring or urging such a change. We are simply trying to ascertain the sentiment of our members in the matter. To date replies from the questionnaires indicate a preponderance of opposition to the suggestion.

"When these questionnaires are all in, we intend to have a group of engineers study the matter and give us their opinion. After this we will present their recommendations to every one interested in the matter. Every one in favor and every one opposed will have an opportunity to present their side. The association officially, however, is not taking any side in the matter." SB. MiSSS'? William F.

He crouches, his ears flatten, he emits snarls and he leaps forward until the end of his 25-foot rope jerks him back on his haunches.

Captain Ousts Jerry Up to a few weeks ago, Jerry used to sleep in the cabin of Commander Stephen S. Yeandle, captain of the Hunt. Now he sleeps on the fiddly, as the flreroom grating is called. Captain Yeandle could not stand Jerry's passion for pulling off bed clothes and chewing them up. Jerry is fed once a day, getting three pounds of chopped meat, as well as ground bone and blood dust and a teaspoonful of olive oil.

At sea Jerry has no restrictions and climbs all over the ship, unmuzzled and unnoticed. When the ship Is tied up, his home is on the bridge deck, as a rule. All sorts of anecdotes are told of Jerry's intelligence and playfulness. One day recently a mess cook passed by, carrying a big plate of meat. The big cat tackled the cook, upsetting him and gobbling the meat before he knew what had happened.

Nearly Shot Down Last week nearly saw Jerry's fin ish. A chief petty officer from the shore force at the yard came up the gangplank. The leopard went to meet him. The officer backed down to shore. The cat followed.

The man be gan to walk along the pier. Jerry walked, too. The officer, rather plump, began to run. The cat increased his pace. A marine guard near by saw the playful chase and was about to shoot when officers of the destroyer arrived.

Particular friends of Jerry aboard ship are Lieut. H. L. Connor, executive officer of the Hunt, and Lieut Philip Shaw, engineer officer. They believe that the leopard can be kept indeflnitelyWithout danger, as long at he Is properly fed.
