Brown asked her where he could find her husband, who had lived with her for several weeks in the Tiffany Street house. She replied by telling him to call up 2290 Bryant and ask for “Mr. De Forest.” Brown did this and found the number to be that of Louis Zelazo's ealoon at No. 135 West Forty-fifth Street. The one who an- swered the phone said that De For- rest had not been seen about the Place since 9 o'clock last night. Gladys Montague hatled the taxi- cab in which she shot herself at Forty-sixth Street and Eighth Ave- nue about 1 o'clock this morning. | It was driven by Michael Scanion, an Independent driver. To him she said ashe wanted to go to Forty-fifth Street and Broadway, Scanion started north and was golng around Columbus Circlé when he heard a shot in his cab and stopped to see what it meant. When he opened the door of the cab he found his passenger crumpled up on the seat. “I've shot myself,” she said. Lying on the floor of the cab was a 38-calibre revolver, pecs Sy CAPT.

Anderson of the Anti- Saloon League and Rev. James Chal- mers, vicar of Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, at the Baptist Min- isters’ Conference yesterday. Resolu- tions were adopted urging the im-| go) peachment of the Mayor and the Po- Mee Commissioner for not enforcing the Sunday law, and Cardinal Farley and Bishop Greer were criticised be- cause, it was charged, they did not help in the enforcement of the excise law, “If either Cardinal Farley or Bishop Greer sald to the Mayor: ‘Wilt thou enforce the liquo '? he would en- speakers at the conference is alleged to have sald. In reply to the attack Mayor Mit- chel sald, referring to the Baptist ministers: “These men with one idea can do more harm than good in a community. In reference to the at- tack on the Police Commissioner and myself, all that I can say is that tho Police Department has work to do— work more important than looking after one phase of the liquor law. The w is being better enforced an ever before. “Now, if these gentlemen kept their tempers and patience and offered con- structive suggestions instead of criti- clams they would prove a useful force in tho community. But we can't be disturbed by this kind of thing. Fan- aticism is always carried to extremes, and this attack happens to be noth- ing more or less than fanaticism.” “How do you account for the iink- ing of your name with that of Cardi- nal Farley and Bishop Greer?” the Mayor wan asked. “That reference was prompted pure- ly by prejudice and spleen,” replied the Mayor. “Nothing else could lead to the suggestion, directly: or indirect- ly. How could they even remotely hold such men responsible for any al- leged laxity in the enforcement of the law?" “Are you fearful of being im- peached?” the Mi was asked. “I am not thi ishtest bit dis- turbed,” replied the Mayor. “The people of this city are generally pretty well satisfied with the way tangs being run in regard to liquor The Mayor believes that sali New York City, le by a particular are located, be permitted to open at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoons, or after church services, and should be kept rigidly closed after midnight.
