30,000 Families Migrate on Annual Spring Move Day
May 1 Finds Moving Men busy as Usual, Though Total is Less.
Today is officially spring moving day, although many got a start last week.
In the days _?_ ending Saturday, 30,000 Brooklyn families will have changed
their living quarters in the _?_ of moving men and real estate brokers.
This is somewhat smaller then last years migration and is caused, the experts
declare, by attempts of landlords to hold their tenants, and by a new system
of Oct leasing.
May 1st was a moving day. It seems is too near the summer holidays to keep
famlies in the city and many have taken advantage of this ancient custom to
move to the country taking new apartments in Sept. and Oct.
Now the situation has somewhat changed, say the brokers, because many
landlords demand leases extending through the summer months.
The consequence scores of families have been obliged to stay in the city in
the summer or pay rents both here and in the country.
Charles D. STRANG, president of the Strang warehouses at 187-193 South
Portland Avenue, said the moving business is quieter this year, but still
very good.
"During the last week" he said " we have been moving about twenty families a
day and this week we are moving twenty five families a day. There about 300
Brooklyn concerns in the moving business and I would place the average at
about ten families a day for each one. The spring moving peak covers about
ten days and thus you would have about 30,000 families moving. Last year the
total was about 36,000. The October rush is of course much greater."

Patrolmen Make Six Rescues at Tenement Fire:
NOLAN and DALE dash Through Blinding Smoke To Save Family of Six:
Patrolmen William NOLAN and Charles Dale, of Bedford Avenue Station, refused
to discuss today rescues they made at an early morning fire in a three story
brick tenement building, at 479 Grand Street.
Badly affected by smoke and several times at the point of exhaustion as they
made their way through the building, when the firemen arrived they went to a
side line, rested up for a while and remained on duty, refusing to report sick.
It was shortly after 4 AM when Patrolman DALE saw smoke issuing from the
cellar of the tenement and investigated. He found the entire cellar in flame.
Returning to the sidewalk, he ran for assistance, attracting Patrolman NOLAN,
who was on the opposite post. When they entered the building to arouse the
occupants, they found the hallway filled with smoke, which drove them back to
the street. They went to a nearby puddle of water made by the rain, soaked
their handkerchiefs with it and then, putting them over their noses and
mouths, pushed their way into the building and rapped on the doors, telling
the occupants to dress hurriedly and get to the street.
When NOLAND and DALE thought all the families were out and were about to
start for a nearby fire alarm box, the patrolmen were informed that no one
had seen Samuel CHERISH, or any members of his family, which consisted of his
wife, Fanny and four children. They lived on the second floor.
NOLAN and DALE again went into the building and after three trips, during
which they wer badly affected by the smoke, they got the family out. While
DALE was leading Isadore CHERISH, 19, down the stairway to the lower hall, he
collapsed and both he and CHERISH were dragged into the street by NOLAN,
where they were quickly revived.
In the meantime one of the tenants had sent in an alarm and when the firemen
arrived they quickly extinguished the flames, which were confined to the
cellar. The damage is place at $1,500. The cause is unknown.
At 9 PM last night, fire of undetermined origin broke out in the basement of
a three-story factory building at 181 Oakland Street, occupied by George LOCK,
novelty manufacturer. The flames were put out with slight damage.

OLD RIDGEWOOD LANDMARK SOON TO BE THING OF PAST:
Workmen are engaged today in demolishing the Hettel building, an old
Ridgewood landmark at the junction of Myrtle Avenue, Palmetto Street and
Wyckoff Avenue, to make way for stores which will be built there.
For many years the late Julius F. HETTEL conducted a restaurant on the first
floor of the building, known the 1560 Myrtle Avenue. Many lodges occupied
meeting rooms on the two upper floors.
When HETTEL died several years ago his son, Frank, who was associated with
him in business, continued the restaurant.
STOPS RUNAWAY, SAVES CHILDREN:
The bravery of Patrolman Harry KRESLEY today probably saved several school
children from being trampled by a runaway horse. The horse, the property of
the Drake Cake Company, 71 Clinton Avenue, was hitched to one of their wagons
and was standing at 5th Avenue and President Street, while the driver, Warren
TRACE, of 291 Humbolt Street was making a delivery, shortly before 9 AM.
A passing automobile backfired beside the animal, which became terrified and
bolted. Tearing through 5th Avenue, the frightened horse approached Union
Street, the site of P. S. 4, where Patrolman KRESLEY, who is attached to the
Bergen Street Station, was ushering the children across the street on their
way to classes.
The officer jumped in front of the horse, waving his arms, but the animal
continued its mad pace. As it passed him KRESLEY jumped for the bridle,
missed it and catching hold of the mane was dragged a hundred feet before he
brought the horse to a stop.

assistance. The amazed policeman acquiesced and Miss FARRIN marched LOMBARDO
down Howard ave. to Broadway and through Quincy st. to the station, to the
amusement of many onlookers.

charges of disorderly conduct for trail June 1.
KING'S MEDAL BRINGS JOY TO BROOKLYN POLICEMAN
VICTOR EMMANUEL OF ITALY REWARDS SALVATORE DI LORENZO
FOR SAVING CHILD
The happiest member of the N.Y. Police Department today is Patrolman
Salvatore Di LORENZO, of 2010 16th. st., attached to the Fort Hamilton
station, because King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has bestowed upon him the
silver medal for civic valor, according to cable dispatches from Rome.
Patrolman Di LORENZO, in the Police Department for 1 1/2 years, was
patroling his post out in the Fort Hamilton district last night when a
reporter for this newspaper told him of the King's award.
The youthful policeman was a bit skeptical at first, but when
convinced that a report of the award had been received here, he gave vent to
his joy. Back at the station he was congradulated on all sides. The official
notification has not yet been received ar his house.
King Victor Emmanuel's citation of Di LORANZO is the result of a
heroic act by the patrolman Jan 18. He saved the life of 2 year old Adelaide
LAMBERT, of 341 86th. st., believed dying from deadly phlegm filling her
throat and lungs, by placing his lips against the child's and with his breath
relieving the little patient. The child was out of danger when an ambulance
surgeon arrived.
The mother of Adelaide had found her choking and gasping at 3
o'clock in the morning and becoming frantic lest her daughter die, raised a
window and sreamed for help.
Patrolman Di LORENZO heard the mother's shrieks and rushed into the
house. Despite the danger of contagion the patrolman worked swiftly over the
child 15 minutes.
Police Commissioner Joseph A. WARREN cited patrolman Di LORENZO for
his act, and the young man received commendations from his superiors in the
department and fellow patrolman for intelligent, fearless effort that saved a
child's life.
Partolman Di LORENZO, who is married, was born in Palermo Sicily. He
came to the U.S. when he was 12 years old. Before becoming a patrolman Di
LORENZO was a milkman.

they received their guests, about 200 in all. The interior of the clubhouse
was appropriately decorated. The decorations and preparing and serving of the
meal was in the hands of a committee consisting of Mrs. Catherine WOLTER,
Mrs. Mamie VOGEL, Mrs. Madeline ZWICK, Frank WOLTER and Lawrence ROTH.
Following dinner, there was dancing and general merrymaking.
When asked if they had any comment to make on the present style of the
young women, they smiled and said:
"Leave them alone, they are all right." said Mr. GOEHRINGER. "The boys
and girls will have their way. There is an old saying that one might just as
well be dead as be out style. I Guess that applies to the Boys and Girls of

BARRON OF GREENPOINT ESTABLISHES FINE RECORD
Detective Robert BARRON, of the Greenpoint station is a quiet and
unassuming officer.
He has proved that he has real sleuthing ability. Called on many times
to display his skill, he has never failed.
The jobs handed to BARRON are by no means easy. They usually hold
mysteries. But they have been solved just as easily as if good clues were
picked just after the crimes were comted.
Recently the body of a woman was brought ashore on the Greenpoint
side of Newton Creek. The body had been in the water some time. The hands
and feet were bound with heavy wire. A large iron handle such as is used on
coal boats to tighten up the hawser was straped to the womans back.
There was nothing on the woman's person to establish an
identification .
After many weeks of hard work Detective BARRON identified the woman
as coming from College Point.

THREE GENERATIONS' OWNED FULTON STREET PAINT STORE
A paint and painting supply store kept in the same family for 3
generations and remaining in the same location throughout the time is the
interesting history behind the establishment of George POOL & Sons, inc., of
70-72 Fulton st.
The store was started in 1859 by George POOL, one of the well-known
farmers of South Brooklyn. he dealt in the line of lamps and illuminating
oils. When his 3 sons came into the business they gradually took on lines of
paints and painter's supplies.
An interesting point brought out is that although there was a great
shifting of Business centers during this period, this store has remained in
the same spot.
EAST NEW YORK COUPLE MARKS GOLDEN WEDDING JUBILEE
GOECKLERS RENEW VOWS TAKEN AT ALTAR 50 YEARS AGO AND SLIP
AWAY FOR SECOND HONEYMOON.
Before a large number of friends, relatives and parishioners, Mr and
Mrs. Christian GOECKLER, of 110 Jamaica ave., reiterated their marriage vows
on the 50th. anniversary of their wedding at a solemn high mass at St.
Michael's R.C. Church, Jerome st. near Fulton st., yesterday.
The Rev. F. BREN, O.M. Cap., rector of the church, officiated at the
wedding ceremony that united the couple in the holy bonds of matrimony for
the second time since their marriage 50 years ago.
The golden engagement ring of the "bride" had been converted into a
wedding ring and was presented to her by the "groom" during the wedding
ceremony.
Immediately after the church service the newlyweds and guests
repaired to the GOECKLER home where a banquet was given in their honor by
their children.
The "benedict" and the "bride" quietly slipped away during the
height of the festivities on their "honeymoon" through New York State.
The couple are prominent in civic and religious circles of East New
York, being pioneers in the up-town section of the borough. They have lived
in the section for the past 47 years.
The "bride" was born in Brooklyn 71 years ago. In 1879, the couple
were married in St. Benedict's R.C. Church, Fulton st. and Ralph ave.
There were 4 children born to the couple, 3 daughters Christina,
Sister Clara Agnes, O.S.D., and Mrs. H.P. MESSER, and 1 son, John. Eight
grandchildren witnessed the ceremony and attended the banquet.
Commenting on his 50 years of married life Mr. GOECKLER said:
"Gosh, but the time does not seem that long. Mama and I have spent all these
years in happiness. When we first came to East New York it was partly a
wilderness. I could see it grow, until now there is hardly building space for
anyone.
"And today I am reminded of the happy day I experienced 50 years ago when I
married my beloved wife. It all seems like a dream to me.
"Live a clean, honest, and upright life is my advice to the young folks.
Clean living is a great stimulant for heath and happiness."
(NOTE: From Deborah L. Gizzi
I also noticed that they never mentioned the "brides" name, so curiosity got the
better of me. Located the couple, along with their daughter Christina in the 1920
Census. The wife's name is Martha.)

the murder of Mrs. Maud BAUER, who was granted a change recently from

and lodged in the Raymond street pail [sic]. HOFFMAN will remain there
until his case is tried. The trial will take place next October before
Supreme Court Justice JOHNSON in Part VIII, Supreme Court.
Mrs. BAUER was shot and killed on a lonely road in Staten Island in
March, 1924. The theory of the prosecution was that HOFFMAN had taker
her into his automobile after her car had broken down and had shot her
after attempting to attack her.
At his first trial, HOFFMAN was convicted of murder in the second
degree, but on appeal a retrial was ordered because of defects in the
indictment. He was re-indicted on a charge of murder in the first
degree and brought to trial again at St. George, S.I., last February. A
mistrial was declared when his attorney, Leonard A. SNITKIN, collapsed
in the courtroom.
On SNITKIN'S application, Justice DUNNE last month granted a change of
venue to Kings County, holding that HOFFMAN could not obtain a fair
trial on Staten Island because of press comment on the case in the
papers there.

system of lighting was first discussed by the committee with Deputy
Commissioner Philip D. HOYT, in charge of traffic for the Police
Department on April 19, 1927, following the authorization of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment of traffic lights for a number
of Brooklyn thoroughfares.
Members of the committee held the opinion, arrived at from their visits
to other cities and attendance at State and national conferences in
relation to traffic, that the progressive control system was adapted to
Brooklyn conditions and would expedite traffic and minimize accidents.
Motorists thus far are inclined, it seems, to travel at a slower or
faster rate of speed than the twenty-two [22] miles set for through
travel without cross traffic delays. Those who gauge their speed with
the allotted rate, however, are finding the system to work out as
promised. Pedestrians are counseled to "wait a minute and save a life,"
a minute or less being the average time required to provide them the
clear passage across the street
An important point about the installation on Ocean avenue which falls in
line with the suggestions of the Chamber committee on streets and
highways which have been made to the Commissioner deals with the
lighting on Bedford avenue. [picture this] Here the present lights are
placed at only a few intersections and it is necessary for the motorist
to ride over the crosswalk to see when the light changes unless coming
in at a street where the light is placed. [Italics are mine]
The committee urges that a light be placed at each street intersection
along Bedford avenue. There are many strangers riding daily on Brooklyn
streets and coming into an avenue like Bedford avenue they have no
warning that they are going through a light controlled street on which
the traffic is moving with an implied right-of-way.
TRIED TO SELL DETECTIVE MONEY-MAKING DEVICE
The ancient and honorable "green goods game" has bobbed up once more and
as a result two men who describe themselves as Benny BERKOW, 42, of 165
Chrystie street, and Joseph KAPLIN, 41, of 147 Ludlow street, Manhattan,
will have a hearing on grand larceny charges to-day in Rockaway court.
All might have been well with them still, if they had not picked on
Detective Ike JACOBS, of Rockaway station, as a good prospect for one of
their automatice counterfeiting machines. JACOB made an appointment to
meet them last night and then invited Detective Lieut. James GAINE and
Detective James BLAKE to come along and share in the investment.
Just as the two Manhattanites were settling down to a real sales talk
and, according to JACOBS, putting it over very well, GAINE and BLAKE
came along and the party broke up. BERKOW and KAPLIN both being arrested.

guilty, however, and fined $50 or the alternative of spending five days
in jail. He paid the fine.
-Skylarking in the crowds at Coney Island last Tuesday night, according
to Patrolman Mandel SHINSKY, of the Coney Island station, cost John
HULL, 31, of 491 Stone avenue, $5, a fine imposed by Magistrate HAUBERT
in Coney Island court yesterday.
The policeman in his complaint of disorderly conduct against HULL
declared the man hurled electric bulbs and drinking glasses about and
refused to desist when ordered to do so. HULL pleaded guilty.
-Larceny Charge Quashed
Magistrate HAUBERT, in Coney Island court, yesterday dismissed a charge
of petty larceny against Meyer MEERBAUM, 23, a butcher, living at 1557
Union street, preferred by Philip GARFINKEL, of 1971 Seventy-third street.
-GARFINKEL charged that MEERBAUM, a former tenant of his store, at 7309
Twentieth avenue, moved from the premises on May 21 and took with him
fixtures, valued at $15, which should not have been removed. MEERBAUM
dened the allegation.

was summoned, the baby suffered only from laceration of a lip and after
treatment remained at home.
-In Serious Condition
STEPHEN DERMOTT, 45 years old, of 52 Java street, to-day is in a serious
condition at Greenpoint Hospital and menay [sic] fellow workers with him
in the crosstown subway excavation of the Greenpoint section at
Manhattan avenue and Kent street are recovering from the effects of
illuminating gas poisoning, the result of a leak last night in Shaft 3,
where all were laboring. Merchants and families in the neighborhood
to-day complained they had experienced threatening gas odors recently
and an investigation is in progress to correct the situation.
DERMOTT collapsed while working in the bottom of the shaft and when
other workers tried to aid him, they too, became dizzy and were forced
to call for help.
It was with difficulty DERMOTT was hoisted to the street level, where
Patrolman John CUMMINGS, of Greenpoint station, gave him first aid and
then summoned an ambulance from Greenpoint Hospital. Dr. GRALNICK
attended the man and took him to the hospital where it was said his
condition was serious, though it was expected he would recover.
The other workers recovered sufficiently when brought above ground so as
not to require services of a surgeon and continued to work in other
locations during the night.
While fumes of escaping gas had been reported by storekeepers and
persons living in the immediate vicinity of late, it was not until last
night that they regard the matter as acute.

Peddler Blames His Tender Heart For Extra Spouse
Says He Married Second Wife in Burst of Sympathy at Her Tears.
The only reason that Max YACHYNOWITZ, 35 years old, of 28 Bedford
avenue, also known as Max MANDELSEN, can give for committing bigamy is that
his second wife, Molly MANDELSEN, with whom he lives, cried that she loved
him, that he can't bear to see a woman crying and so married her to make her happy.
His first wife Beckie, who lives at 162 Attorney street, Manhattan is
the complainant. She told Detective Harold DAVIDSON, of the Bedford avenue
station, that she married Max sixteen years ago, that he deserted her several
months ago and that she finally found him living with his second wife whom he
married on Jan. 22 of this year at 156 Grand street.
When taken to the Bedford avenue station, Max did not deny that he had
married the second time.
"If my first wife loved me I would never have married again", he said
Tuesday night just before his pedigree was taken. "What kick has she got? I
have been told that she has married three times."
"I am a peddler and when I met my second wife she told me she loved me,
that she must have me and began crying. I couldn't see her cry so I had to
marry her.

SPOILS HIS NEW SUIT TO SAVE SLEEPY CAT BUT GLAD HE DID IT
E.D. Motorist Crawls Beneath Car and Rescues Somnolent Tabby
"There is a humane touch in the breast of every man."
So declared Larry HALL, sporting man of the Eastern District after he
had performed a kind act to a cat.
Stretched beneath the automobile belonging to HALL, as it was parked at
New and South Fifth street, was a pretty brown cat. The feline seemed
pleased with its position and showed no inclination to move. It was out of
the warm sun. To all appearances it was dead. There was not a stir from it.
HALL was too busy talking to a friend to take any notice of the cat. To
have started the car would have meant its certain death. The conversation
was soon brought to an end. HALL buttoned his coat and was about to step
into his car when he discovered the tail of the animal just beneath the right
rear wheel.
"Who had the nerve to kill that cat and put it under my car?" HALL
asked of some boys standing nearby.
"He's not dead, mister," said one of the boys.
HALL bent down and saw that the cat was breathing. He shouted at it,
but all it did was to turn over, stretch a bit then blink its eyes and lie still.
"I have an important appointment but I am not going to kill that cat."
HALL declared.
And beneath the car he crawled until he got hold of it. He carried it
to the hallway of a nearby tenement, pushed it in and closed the door.
In saving the cat from death HALL got several grease spots on this new
gray suit.
"I would rather spoil fifty suits than consciously kill a dumb animal."
HALL declared as he stepped into his car and drive off pleased with what he
had done.
SUBWAY BUILDING DISPOSSESS -Order Causes Consternation Among Many Old Residents
To many of the residents in the vicinity of Ninth and Tenth streets,
from Fourth to Ninth avenues, the coming of the Smith-Ninth street subway,
now under construction, is an unalloyed blessing, enthusiastically welcomed.
To some it means temporary discomfort and inconvenience during
the process of erection.
But to a few old-timers, residents and storekeepers who have known their
present locations as "Home" for from fifteen to forty years, the wheels of
progress spell heartrending separation from familiar surroundings. So long
have they owned and lived in these homes, soon to be razed to make way for
the new subway that although they some time ago received notice that they
must vacate by Aug. 1 most of them have made no attempt to find a new location.
"Where can we go?" asked one puzzled woman. "Where can we get a house
as good as this for less than $15,000? We haven't the money to buy a house
until the city pays us for the old one. And God knows when that will be."
DOCTORS DRIVEN OUT
Along Ninth street from Fifth to Ninth avenues the street is torn up,
access to dwellings and business places is impeded and on the block between
Seventh and Eighth avenues, known as the "doctor's block" because of the
number of physicians' homes located thereon, the front stoops in some
instances have been removed.
But it is the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth avenues and Ninth and
Tenth streets that pays the heaviest toll to progress. All of the structures
on the south side of Tenth street, from Fourth to Fifth avenues, except
Woolworth's five and ten cent store on the corner of Fifth avenue will be
torn down. In addition, three dwellings on Fourth avenue adjacent to Tenth
street, and about seven store and apartment buildings on Ninth street near
Fifth avenue, including the thirty year old McCormick's department store, are
to be razed. All have been notified to vacate by Aug. 1.
Mrs. Mathilda SWEITZER came as a bride just forty years ago last April
to the red brick house at 331 Tenth street. There her son, Charles, was born
thirty six years ago and thee her husband also named Charles died three years
ago. Even after her son's marriage and her husband's death Mrs. SWEITZER
refused to leave the old home. She let the top floor to a couple and rented
out some of the other rooms. Until the coming of the subway she had thought
to live there until her death. VICTIMS OF PROGRESS
"It is sad to leave the old house after so many years," she declared
wistfully. "That's progress I suppose, and I can't blame anybody."
Mrs. SWEITZER said she had two or three places in mind as her future
residence, all in the Park Slope section.
Next door to Mrs. SWEITZER, In 239 Tenth street lives Miss Ada WILCOX.
For thirty nine years she has occupied the house to which she came with her
mother and brother as a young girl. Both have been dead for some years, but
Miss WILCOX continued to live there taking an apartment on the top floor for
herself and eking out a fair living renting furnished rooms in the others.
Mrs. James SCHNEPF has lived at 39 Tenth street twenty-six years.
Before that she lived across the street. All of her children were born in 309.
I don't know just where we'll go, maybe to Bay Ridge". She said. "But
just can't make up our minds. After living so long on one block, it's kind
of hard to tear oneself away from it."
OLD COUPLE BEWILDERED
Around the corner at 447 Fourth avenue is an old couple who have
occupied that house nearly forty years. They were bashful about revealing
their names and asked that they be withheld. The same regret that was
evidenced by the others was apparent as they faced the future.
"They're taking the roof from over our heads.", said the woman.
"Not at all." Interposed the man. "they're paying us for it , so you
can't say they're taking the roof from over our heads. Just the same it
makes us feel bad to have to leave these diggings that we know so well."
Mr. J. Doyle, who lives next door at 449 Fourth avenue, has spent a mere
fifteen years in that domicile, but even after that comparatively short space
of time the prospective parting brought tears to her eyes.
"We love it here," she said. "We've lived here so long. I don't know
what we'll do. To buy a house with as many rooms would cost us about
$19,000."
Tailor Loses Trade
Samuel SHORR is a tailor at 290 Ninth street. Twenty six years ago he
started in business in the shop which he still maintains at that address. He
built up a brisk trade, raising five children to manhood and womanhood
meanwhile. Ten years ago two of the boys left the apartment which the family
occupied above the store, to take their places in the ranks of America's
warriors overseas.
There was a note of tragedy as SHOOR (as printed??) outlined his plight
caused by the impending removal.
"If I were young it would make no difference, but I am too old." He
mourned. "I cannot afford to pay the rent they would charge me now in this
neighborhood where I have built up my business. It means that I must build
from the bottom up again in a new neighborhood, where nobody knows me, and
I'm too old."
CLEARING GROUND For Home For St. Catharine's Nurses
One four-story brick building and two three-story frame structures on
the southwest corner of Bushwick avenue and mujer street are being razed to
make way for the new nurses' home of St. Catherine's Hospital.
When the home is completed it will be directly opposite the hospital and
will furnish an easy means for the nurses to get to and from the hospital.
The home will be one of the finest of its kind in the city and will represent
an investment of nearly $50,000, it is said.
At the present time the nurses' home is located in the old KIEBFLEISCH
mansion at Power street and Bushwick avenue. Just as soon as the new home is
completed, the mansion will be put to some other use. The mansion has stood
for years as one of the show places in the lower Bushwick section.
The property that is being razed had stores in the bottom floor and
living apartments above. The nurses will be able to dodge the elements of
the weather when their new home is finished. As it is now they have to walk
two long blocks to get to and from the hospital.

Woman Surrenders Deserted Infant
Mrs. Minnie KUMMER, of 1923 Madison street, Ridgewood, yesterday
afternoon walked into Glendale police station carrying a blue-eyed six-months
old baby. She told Lieut. Joseph GREENE that on June 20 a young woman, who
gave her name as Margie OWENS, of 349 East Ninety-first street, Manhattan,
came to her home and asked that Mrs. KUMMER board the infant.
The woman paid Mrs. KUMMER $7. and said that she would call to see the
baby regularly. This she failed to do, Mrs. KUMMER declared. A letter to
the Ninety-first street address was returned with the notation that no one
was known there by that name.
Policewoman Hannah MEONCH took the infant to the foundling ward at Kings
County Hospital, and Detective James T. CONNOLLY was given the task of trying
to find the mother.
Unidentified Woman Found Suffering from Amnesia
Patrolman Leo USTICK, of the Canarsie station was walking along Rockaway
avenue early today when he found an unidentified woman about 20 years old,
140 pounds and 5 feet 5 inches tall wandering through the storm.
The policeman stopped the woman and asked her several questions which
she failed to answer. She was taken to the station house where Dr. HEINRICK
from Brownsville and East New York Hospital examined the woman and found that
she was a victim of amnesia. She was taken to Kings County Hospital.
The woman has dark brown bobbed hair, and brown eyes. She wore no hat.
She had on a black dress, black shoes, light colored stockings and wore a
colored kimona. She had a wedding ring on.
The police of the Canarsie station are investigating the case.
7 July 1928
Uninvited, Jumps and Breaks a Leg
Taxi Driver Captured After Threatening Woman and Leap From Window.
A visit to the Brooklyn Baptist Orphanage, 2200 Ocean avenue, suffering
a broken leg and being held a prisoner on charges of unlawful entry and
attempted felonious assault.
CONNELL insists he was invited to call at the orphanage, but Mrs.
Margaret HARGREAVES, superintendent: Miss Hattie GREEN, supervisor of the
boys' department, and James TICKETT, colored caretaker, told police the man
had entered the place without their knowledge or request.
Miss GREEN is the complaintant in the assault charge. She says CONNELL
threatened to kill her with a carving knife which he had in his possession,
if she screamed. Despite the threat, the woman did call for help and Mrs.
HARGREAVES responded.
CONNELL clambered through the window of Miss GREEN's room onto a small
balcony and when he heard TICKETT also running to the rescue, jumped to the
ground, some twenty five feet below. The fall broke his right leg and he was
unable to move.
Patrolman John BARIS, of Sheepshead station, called an ambulance from
Coney Island Hospital, where CONNELL was taken a prisoner. On the way to the
hospital CONNELL insisted he was asked to call at the home. He was unable to
explain why he chose such and early hour, however. The women deny ever
seeing the man before and refute his statement of being invited to call.
Detective John MCDONALD will question CONNELL later today.
Policeman Is Held on Woman's Charge of Stealing $154.
Charged with taking $154 from the handbag of Mrs. Marie PARRETT, a nurse of
1852 Broadway, early today, Patrolman Clement DRUMONDO, 29, attached to the
Sheepshead Bay station, who lives at 1630 West Second street, was placed
under arrest by order of Capt. Charles BARRETT, of the Sheepshead Bay station
and taken before Magistrate RUDICH in Coney Island court today on a charge of
grand larceny. He pleaded not guilty and was held for a hearing in $2,000
bail for next Tuesday.
Mrs. PARRETT says she was at the home of another nurse, Mrs. Julia MUZZY of
480 Kings highway, last night when a call came from a patient in another part
of the borough. Benjamin BERNARD, husband of a patient, who lives in the
same house as Mrs. MUZZY volunteered to go along, Mrs. PARRETT says.
When they got to the street, Patrolman DRUMONDO, who knew BERNARD, asked
them where they were going and offered to get a taxi for them. He called a
taxi driven by a friend, Isadore FREEDMAN, of 1901 Ocean parkway, and got in
the front seat with FREEDMAN, taking Mrs. PARRETT on his lap, according to
her story. BERNARD and Mrs. MUZZY sat on the rear seat. During the ride,
Mrs. PARRETT says, DRUMONDO made improper advances to her anD when she
resisted, told her, BERNARD and Mrs. MUZZY to get out.
They did so, and then Mrs. PARRETT found her handbag gone. The taxi
turned about and went back the way it had come.
Riding in another taxi back to the place where they had picked up the
patrolmen, they asked him if he had seen the pocketbook. He said he had not.
A little later they found it, empty, on the stoop of the BERNARD home, and
notified police of Sheepshead Bay Station. Detective John MC DONALD
questioned FREEDMAN, who said he saw the pocketbook on the floor after the
party had left the taxi and witnessed the patrolman taking out money and
papers from it.
Deputy Commissioner John A. LEACH suspended DRUMONDO. The accused
patrolman was handcuffed to a police sergeant in court.
Sick Fireman Rescues Boys as Raft Sinks
Two Coney Island boys are recovering today from the effects of a dunking
they received in Coney Island Creek last night when their improvised raft
made from a bed spring capsized. Robert BATTERSON, 8 years old, of 2720
West Third street and Jerry VALENTINO, 10, of 2710 West Third street, Coney
Island, were rescued by Fireman James HENNESSY, of 2743 West Third street,
attached to Truck Company 161, at West Eighth street.
HENNESSY, who was on sick leave, heard the screams of the boys as the
raft sank and rushed to the creek. He dived into the shallow water and
succeeded in keeping the lads from sinking into the mud. He was assisted by
Walter CLEVELAND, 40, of 2702 West Third street, who saw he was finding
difficulty in helping both boys.
The VALENTINO boy was taken to the Coney Island Hospital. BATTERSON was
sent home.
Protests Moving of Flatbush House
Clarence FUHRER, of 1300 Kenmore place, today sent a letter to Borough
President BYRNE complaining about the moving of a building in his
neighborhood. He asks why city employees clean up the debris following the
moving of a building. His letter reads, in part, as follows:
It is incumbent on me to inquire why the building erected at Ocean
avenue and Avenue K has been permitted to be moved through Avenue K and down
East Twenty-first street, destroying property and the peace and quiet of the
neighborhood for private gain, and also why the city employees clean up the
debris after the building has passed.
"Especially at this time of the year the moving of this building seems
to me to be one of gross impertinence, not only on the part of the person who
owns the building but on the part of the city authorities who permitted the
moving of it and of the destruction of trees, the general disturbance and
annoyance of the property owners and tenants on this street, the blocking of
the street and preventing the free movement of automobiles from private
garages.
"Why should this be?"
Nurse Prevents Bankers Death in Window Leap
Clings to Leg Until Exhausted, Cushions and Mattress Break Fall From Fourth Floor
Horace F. POOR, wealthy banker, is under attendance in Polyclinic
Hospital, Manhattan, today after a weird experience.
He attempted to jump from the fourth story window of SHILLINGER's
Sanitarium, 14 W. Fifty-fifth street, Manhattan, early today. His nurse,
Miss RANDOLPH, held him dangling by one leg, until a pile of cushions had
been placed on the ground beneath him to break the fall, and police and taxi
drivers had spread a blanket-net.
Mr. POOR is president of the Garfield National Bank, Twenty-third street
and Fifth avenue, Manhattan. He is 50 years old. He lives with his family
at 59 Polify road, Hackensack, N.J. He came to the sanitarium three weeks
ago for treatment for a nervous disorder, the police understood.
Early today, according to the police accounts, Miss RANDOLPH saw her
patient standing by the window in his nightgown. She caught his leg just as
he plunged over, the police say.
Clutching the patient's leg with both hands, the slender nurse screamed
as loudly as she could. A battery of taxi drivers parked in front of the
nearby Hotel Gotham heard her. Some of the drivers rushed to the sanitarium
wall with seat cushions to break Mr. POOR's fall, if he dropped. Others blew
their horns so vigorously that Patrolmen LATCHFORD and O'NEILL, of the West
Forty seventh street station, came on the run from their post at Fifth avenue
and Fifty fourth street.
The policemen commandeered a mattress and a blanket from the Hotel
Gotham. With the aid of the taxi drivers, they piled the cushions on the
pavement, with the mattress on top. Miss RANDOLPH shouted: "I can't hold
him much longer!"
Aided by the taxi drivers and Capt. ABEHELK, U.S.A. of 356 East Fifty
eighth street, the policemen and the blanket spread out on a landing net.
They gave the signal to Miss RANDOLPH to let go.
The banker dropped heavily and swiftly, striking ledges and cornices as
he fell. He hit the blanket with such force that some of the men holding it
were knocked down. Mr. POOR was immediately bundled in a taxi and taken to
Polyclinic Hospital. It was found he had suffered contusions of the elbows,
shoulders and legs and possible internal injuries.
Girl Baby, 7 Days Old, Found in Vestibule
A female baby, about seven days old, dressed in white clothing wrapped
in a blue blanket was found on the floor of the vestibule at 11 Clinton
street, Brooklyn last night by Mrs. Kate HUBER, who lives in the apartment
house at that address.
Mrs. HUBER turned the child over to Detectives Hugh RILEY and John
CORCORAN, of the Poplar street precinct who sent it to the foundling ward at
the Cumberland Street Hospital.
Neighbors told police they had seen a tall dark young woman enter the
vestibule with a bundle in a blue blanket and emerge soon afterwards without
the bundle.
The baby has dark hair and eyes and appears to be in excellent health.

BOY RESCUES CHUM: ATTEMPT TO SAVE ANOTHER FAILS
Edward RAHOE, 14, Dives Until Exhausted in Effort to Bring Up Body.
A fourteen year old boy, Edward RAHOE, of 147 Huron street, saved one of
his playmates from drowning and then dove until he was exhausted to recover
the body of a second youth in the East River off the foot of Dupont street
yesterday.
The drowned boy is Charles KULCZYNSKI, 9, of 97 Dupont street, captain of
a youthful ball team of the neighborhood. Charles drowned while Edward was
struggling to get John ARLIN, 14, of 90 Eagle street, to safety.
The boys had been playing baseball in Greenpoint Park, on Franklin
street. Warm from their exertion, a swim was proposed.
The lads rushed to the waters and disported for more than an hour. John
became weary and was resting on the dock when he heard Charles cry for help.
He dove in, raced to the spot and managed to grapple with the boy. John
fought off Charles' embraces and tried to bring him to shore. Both boys
cried for help as they repeatedly went beneath the surface.
Edward heard their cries and also swam to the fatal spot. He managed to
separate the pair and battled through the water with John. He reached the
dock and willing hands lifted John to the pier.
Edward them churned about and went to the spot where he had last seen
Charles. No head bobbed above the water and John dove repeatedly. His
efforts were futile.
Patrolman Richard SINNOTT was called and after calling the marine
division grappled without success for the body.
FIVE HAD NO LICENSES, Held as Auto Thieves
Five men, driving in a dark touring car, were arrested at Fiftieth street and
Seventh avenue, Manhattan, yesterday by Detectives BRODERICK and HEMMINGWAY,
of the Industrial Squad. The detectives, who were cruising through the
district in an auto became suspicious of the men and questioned them. They
found that none of them had an automobile license nor could they show any
proof of ownership. The men were taken to the Forty seventh street station
in Manhattan, charged with grand larceny.
The alleged auto thieves are Peter PULTOWSKY, 25, of 141 Monroe street:
Morris DAVIDSON, 24, of 415 Grand street, both of Manhattan; Solomon COHEN,
27, of 1767 Bryant avenue, and Irving BLOCK, 28,, of 1683 Washington avenue,
the Bronx, and Abraham SALZMAN, of 33 Norfolk street, Manhattan.

sergeant and said he had saved GLASSER's life by his prompt and efficient
action. GLASSER was taken to Kings County Hospital.
Bath Beach Policeman, Bitten by Dog, Kills It
After he had been bitten on the right hand early yesterday morning by a dog,
believed by the police to be mad, Patrolman Harry NEWMAN, of the Bath Beach
Station, sent a bullet through the animal's head, killing it.
NEWMAN was in a police booth at Avenue U and Van Sicklen street when he was
informed that a dog was snarling and snapping at passersby at West Tenth
Street and Avenue U. NEWMAN investigated and as he approached the animal it
sprang at him and bit him. The policeman then fired on the dog. NEWMAN had
the wound cauterized by Ambulance Surgeon BRODIE, of the United Israel-Zion Hospital.

VOYAGER, 104, MAY STAY HERE
Lithuanian Visiting Son in Floral Park, Like America--Set Out Seeking
Adventure
Coming to this country in the belief that before a man grows "really
old" he should see something of the world. JURGIS SKINDERIS, reputed to
be 104, has found America to his liking--so much so, he said to-day at
his son's home in Floral Park, that he may sell his farm in Lithuania
and send for his wife.
He arrived yesterday on the steamer Lithuania from his home in
Tytavenai, and went to visit his son, JOHN SKINDER, for the past three
years a member of the Floral Park police force.
SKINDERIS weighs 190 pounds, but because of his height- six feet, since
he attained his full growth some eighty years ago-he appears erect and
sprightly. No man, he said, should stay in one place all his life. On
the way to the pier from Quarantine, unable to suppress his youthful
exuberance, he danced a sailor's hornpipe.
When asked, through his son as interpreter, if he were the oldest person
ever to make such a voyage, he laughed at what he considered an absurd
question. [nothing's changed ;-)]
"They said," he told his son, "that I never touched liquor." ("They"
being the official of the Baltic American Line.) "I can drink
anything. I stopped smoking eight years ago." Smoking, he explained,
was becoming a habit with him after sixty-odd years. "But liquor--" and
he made a correcting gesture intended for erring officialdom.
When the New York skyline was pointed out to him, SKINDERIS looked,
reasonably interested, but not over-awed. That one becomes accustomed
to seeing strange things during the course of 104 years was evident as
his eyes calmly scanned the shores of the new country. Then he went on
with his sailor's hornpipe until the photographers asked him to pose.
He is a detective, and before his crossing was employed by banking
houses in Latvia and Lithuania. He has been married three times and by
his first marriage had six children. His wife is thirty-seven years
younger than he.
JOHN SKINDER, the son, came to the United States in 1910 and served in
the army thirteen years. He fought in the World War.
