Schwenk, a political der among Austrians, was taken [rer last night by State Banking Su- intendent Richards and will be uidated. The institution, which s more than $700,000 in deposits elonging to many thousand poor preigners, has a main branch at 294 Pedford avenue, Williamsburg; aj ranch at Avenue A and Seventh ireet and another branch at Rock- way road, Jamaica, . |, The Jamaica branch of the bank as been in trouble for several days, put Superintendent Richards says that fhe trouble has no direct bearing on is act in closing the institution.

The officials were just in time to meet four men who were deposit money about to in the East Side branch and send them away rejoicing. _But. within..a_.short time .there . .were 400 or 500 Poles, Russians and Lith- uanians gathered about the bank, shedding tears and bemoaning the fact that the bank was closed. It was said that about §150,000 had been deposited at the East Side branch. The closing of the bank is practical- ly the first under the new private banking law. By the provisions of that law, ‘every private bank having-less than a certain amount of depdsits must have the authorization of ‘the state banking department to continue in business. While. Schwenk’s bank is said to be in poor condition it is due mainly to the poor real estate market and to general business de- pression at this time. The greater part of the money deposited with Schwerk was lent to the Schwenk Realty company or else invested in real estate enterprises. May Avert Serious Loss. “I have acted,” sald Mr. Richards last night, “‘because I decided that the business of L. W, Schwenk was not in condition to justify the acceptance’ of further deposits. I hope by an economical liquidation of the assets of this banker to prevent serious loss to his depositors.” There wasa run on Schwenk’s main office in Williamsburg last Decem- béer. Somebody started the rumor that. the bank was insolvent and im- mediately thousands clamored for their-money. Schivenk, ‘who explained- he had deposited $100,000 with the j state comptroller, produced plenty of money and after a few days allayed | the run. The firm of Grochowski & Co. was founded in 1880. It was bought by Schwenk in 1906. Schwenk, who was born in Austria, had come to this country a poor boy and had pros- pered. He started in the tea business | and in thirteen years became man- ager of a concern with thirteen branches. He then went into the banking business. From banking he turned to real estate in the Williams- burg section. He made himself known among the foreigners and got their -deposits. In 1910 Schwenk was candidate for congress on the republican and inde- pendence “league tickets from the second .district of Kings, but was ! gefeated. CAPTAIN LOW A POSSIBILITY. ‘Captain E. Raymond Low of Com- pany E is a very likely choice for a majorship in the First Regiment, C. N. G., If an expected vacancy occurs. The retirement of Colonel Willlam E. F. Landers has resulted. in several ad- vancements, both effected and pro- posed, and there is a probability that the position of major will soon be vacant. Captain Low’s strongest rival will be Captain George J. Ran of Company H, the Hartford light guard. We are demonstrating the wonderful Tokyo Ice Blankets. Come and see them. MEN’S DEPT.

I shudder to think how many slim, well shod, twinkling feet are going to carry their owners over into the abyss!” This, summed up, was what Bob Jones, the southern evangelist, had to the cabaret belt last night after making a tour of the ‘“dance palaces” with a newspaper ‘reporter. “Nowhere else in the fiery young preacher, whose fol- lowers declare he is going to be a second Billy Sunday, ‘“‘has the devil been so cleverly disguised. Vice in the small citles is naked and ugly. Here all the resources of art and money and skill have been blended to produce an appeal of opulent, har- monious sensuousness that effectually disguises the hideousness of it all. Prefers Hell to a Lobster Palace. “From Twenty-third street to Sixty-eighth, from Seventh avenue to Fifth, I visited New York's most fa- mous places, and 1 want to say that if I had the choice between spending three hours a day in the dance halls and lobster palaces or in hell, T'd choose hell. I'd know where I was anyway. “The only difference I can see be- tween Manhattan and hell anyway is that Manhattan is entirely surround- ed by water. ““Phe proverbial road to the nether regions may be paved with good in- tentions, but New York's particular highway to the badlands is paved with a mosaic of drinks and dances. “l1 saw some 7,000 of them at it— old men and young girls, young men and old women. On one of your most fashionable roofs I saw a child with hair hanging down her back, tangoing with ‘her father, and a moment later a youth of twenty one-stepping with his gray-haired mother. And they call it innocent! The man who finds that sort of thing innocent needs a tonic. “It was the pretense of decency say about city’s tango tea and America,” said and good-natured, harmless fun about the voluptuous gayety that most astonished me. From the humblest basement dance hall, up through the swellest tango tea to the most expensive roof garden, I think the proprietors of these places com- pare unfavorably with the keeper of the old time disorderly resort. “In the old places the warning was writ large over the door for all who entered to read; in the mew, every possible allure of lights, color, music, rich food, sparkling wines and clothes is provided so that the young girl glides gently and unconsciously into a very riot of sensuousness. “Drink and dance—dance and drink! That's the programme, punc- tuated with innumerable cigarettes. “Ask any physician what effect al- cohol has upon a woman. Ask any physiologist what nicotine does to her nerves. Three Mile Posts to Ruin. ““These are the three mile posts on the road to ruin—drink, dance, cigar- And the most fashionable women, the society leaders after whom young girls will pattern, set the seal of their approval and prac- tice upon this modern social plague. “I've been slumming in many cities ettes. but what I saw in New York's streets and on New “York's dancing women shocked me almost beyond words. “Hvery little trick and subterfuge of the costumes of other places seemed to me to have been added to- gether—really I should say subtracted —to make the New York girl's at- tire serve the one single concentrated purpose of sex appeal. “If God had meant the women to dress like that, he surely would have covered their backs with hair. I had to wait until some of them stood up from the tables to tell what they had °\ft 1 had a daughter of eighteen I'd rather see her dead and in her grave than have her whirling, close pressed in some fellow’s arms, in the midst of this swarm of silly, cigarette smoking, cocktail drinking, half-clad, empty-headed votaries of the modern dances. “It isn't any wonder the divorce detectives always go to these places to pick up the trail. Cause and Remedy. “The cause? The artificial, abnor- mal plane of New York's life. The destruction of home life. The ‘new freedom’ of women, which so - many of them have converted ‘into license. The excess of leisure among young men. The general slacking of moral fibre that men call ‘tolerance’ because they don't want to admit it is just atrophy of their own standards. “The yemedy? What New York needs is some great prophet to make character fashionable again That, and a million women courageous enough and fine enough to bring about a return to older standards of modesty and morality. And as the first step in the reconstruction, they must revolt relentlessly from the mandates of their dressmakers.” Mrs. Sarah Kerchofeskey of North street complains to the police that A. Winner of Hurlburt street has insult- ed her. She says that his language was too vile to repeat.

HALLORAN (Incorporated) 248 Main St. Authorized Resident Dealer In Royal Tailoring BAN ON SHIPMENT OF VARIOUS NOSTRUMS Concerns Brought into Court and Verdicts Found for Goverrmsnt. ‘Washington, D. C., July 24.—The United States department of agricul- ture has recently issued a large num- ber of notices of judgment involving shipments of drug products adulter- ated or misbranded in violation of the food and drugs act. A shipment by the William Radam Microbe Killer Co., New York, N. Y., from the state of New York into the state of Minnesota, consisting of 539 boxes and 322 cartons of Radam's Microbe Killer, was alleged to be mis- branded for the reason that state- ments appearing on the labels of the packages regarding the curative and therapeutic effect of the product were false and fraudulent, This case was one of the first brought by the gov- ernment under the Sherley amend- ment to the food and drugs act, passed August 23, 1912. The purpose of this amendment is the more ef- fectual prevention of interstate traf- fic in that class of preparations or patent medicines purporting to be “cure-alls.” A circular accompany- ing the shipment represented the medicine as being a remedy for prac- tically every ailment to which the human system is subject. In this case after a jury had found for the government, the court ordered the goods destroyed by the United States marshal, A product called “Fernet Milano,” shipped into Michigan by Pasquale Gargiulo, doing business under the name and style of P. Gargiulo & Co., New York, N. Y. was alleged to be misbranded. The product, offered for sale under the name of another well- known article, Fernet Milano, was merely an imitation and the label failed to bear a statement of the quantity or proportions of alcohol contained in the article which was shown to be 33.7 per cent. by volume. The article, furthermore, was 80 labeled as to create the impression that it was of foreign manufacture, when as a matter of fact it was made in the United States. The defendant pleaded guilty and the court imposed the defendant company «of $10 with costs of $12.95. "'Other cases were as follows: Product, Oil Rosemary, Flowers and Oil of Red Thyme: shipper, James B. Horner, New York, N. Y.j charge, adulteration; fine, $125, Product,- 8oluble Hypodermic Tabs lets; shipper, Wm.

Several important amendments b the republican primary rules have been made by the town committes. One will permit new voters who have certificates showing that they are bona fide voters to have a voice In primaries even if their names do not appear on the printed voting liet. A second change has been made by which ward primaries may be d outside of the ward, for which officers are being nominated, This is for the purpose of saving expense, It is pro: posed to hold primaries at republl can headquarters for wards in whi the party does not anticipate victor: Another amendment will make t a fine of $40, The William A. Webster Co,, Memphis, Tenn., was charged with the interstate shipment of quantities ,0f adulterated and misbranded wine of coca-leaves, acetanilid and sodium bromide compound tablets, “‘Anti- vomit Tablets,” aspirin tablets, cold tablets, quinine tablets, salol tablets, and sodium salicylate tablets; and | misbranded bismuth and calomel compound tablets. ~The company pleaded guilty and the court imposed a fine of $10, with costs of $12.95, Two other cases against the same company, alleged the shipment of a quantity of neuralgic pills, and di- arrhoea calomel pills, which were adulterated and misbranded in both instances, The labels stated that the pills in each shipment contained re- spectively 1-20 and 1-16 grain of morphine sulphate, each, when as a matter of fact the morphine content was much less than represented.
