PRIVATE ENTER FEDING St ‘Welfare League Forced to Ask for Funds to Great Shame of New York. PLANS ENTERTAINMENT. icfal Dereliction Is Charged Against the School Board. By Sophie Irene Loeb. The crying need of lunches in Schools, which was long ago developed by the campaign carried through thie newspaper, but which work has been retarded by members of the present School Board, is being met in a meas- ure by the School Children’s Welfare League, who are planning a benefit , Performance to aid the movement. ‘The proceeds of this entertainment are to go for the work of this ongant- zation, which feeds the sick, needy and crippled school children in the various public schools in the city. Mrs. Jacob Kramer appeals to The Bening World to aid the cause, stat- ing: “You have been so wonderfully Kind to us in supporting our move- ment of the school lunch, that I am going to ask one more favor, and I do hope you will be able to grant {t." She simply wants The Evening World readers to know about this im- ‘portant affair to ald the kiddies. Here ‘at ie: “In order to obtain funds to carry on the important work of feeding and supplying milk to the undernourished, cardiac and crippled school children, the School Children’s Welfare League will hold a monster benefit perform- ance at the Cohan & Harris Theatre on Sunday evening, Jan. 16. ‘The fol- Jowing headliners have promised to appear for this most worthy cause: Eddie Cantor, Bert Levy, Bert Kal- mer and Harry Ruby and the Farber Sisters, Savoy & Hrennan and Myers & Hansford of the “Greenwich Vil- | lage Follies” and courtesy of the Bo- ) hemian, Inc.; Sy Layman and Helen Kling, whiriwind dancers from “Mary,” by courtesy of George M.

Keith's circuit. | “Enongh cannot be said in the gen- erous way the performers ar: coming forward to aid the poor and under- nourished kiddies so that the ongani- zation can provide the little ones with necessary milk and lunches. Last sea- gon the School Children’s Welfare League supplied 74,000 quarts of milk PRISE DOING NEGLECTFUL CITY'S WORK IN HOOL CHILDREN COURT OF NUL TOLAY BARE TRP OF 3 LEUTENANT Story of Conduct While on Canadian Soil and the Now Famous Scrap to Be Gone Into. Secretary of the Navy Danicls has ordered a Court of Inquiry into the adverfture of Lieuts. Stephen A. Far- rell, Walter Hinton and Louis A. Kloor jr., the balloonists from the Naval Air Station in Rockaway who were lost with thelr balloon in the wilds of the Hudson Bay country’a month ago and returned to the sta- tion yesterday. The order, issued last night. spe- cifically prescribes inquiry into “the conduct of the personnel during ab- sence from station” and is obviously pointed to the published reports of quarrels between the men in the wil- derness and especially of the en- counter between Lieut, Farrell and Lieut. Hinton when they emerged at the railhead at Mattice The three Lieutenants announced to-day that they would remain at home for the next few days resting from their trying adventure. A number of entertainments are be- ing planned in their honor. Arrange- ments have been made for a recep- tion and dance at the Rockaway Air Station Monday evening. Romanti- cally fnelined persons are looking for- ward to the formal announcement at that time of the engagement of Lieut. Kloor and Miss Alexandra Flower- ton. Nobody who saw the greeting which the young woman gave her particular hero on the arrival of the party yesterday has any doubt that the news is soon to be made “offi- cial.” Rear Admiral George W. Kline, President of the Naval Board of In- spection and Survey, was named as President of the court. The other members are Capt. Henry H. Hough and Lieut. Commander J. P, Norfleet, Lieut. Commander Archibald MeGlas- son will act a8 Judge Advocate. The court was instructed to direct its inquiry with special reference to the following: “1. Purpose of, plan and intention, to the anaemic, cardiac and crippled \children, besides the hot lunches tn ithe schools, and authorization for said flight. ‘2, Preparation made for flight, and rovisions, clothing and equipment carried, When, oh when, will this crying need answered in the way that will meet {the conditions of the hungry, underfed nd ill-nourished children in the pub- (hs schools—a function distinctly of She public school authorities, and a function that the city has assumed \ and for which the principle has been ) aia down? ‘The work. however, has been re- ftarded since the advent of Mrs. Emma L. Murray of the School Board. There was $50,000 appropriated by | the city and by the dilly-dallying ef- | forts of Mrs. Murray's committee the work of school feeding has been de- layed and put off. It is now necessary for private or- ganizations, as the one mentioned above, in some neighborhoods, to fill the gap made by the neglect of the School Board on this most important question. © ‘The Evening World in its investiga- tions in 1914 found over 37,000 dren suffering from malnutrition on account of lack of food and from eating improper food. ‘Dr. Copeland, Health Commissioner, reports similar conditions to-day. The _ Evening World, realizing the great benefits to be derived by the children, urged a wider use of the echool building for this purpose, In 1914 the Board af Aldermen, after another thorough investigation, saw the wisdom of the plan and provided equipment in many schools to help the private organizations, In 1916 over 100 schools were served with lunches. To-day there are ap- proximately twenty-seven doing that work in Greater New York. ‘The Evening World readers, by pub- Ke subscription, established equipment in Public Schools Nos. 69, 40, 44, 39 and 160, and succecded in having a whole building turned over for this purpose. ‘A central kitchen at Public School No, 98, at Delancey Street, serving 26,000 children, was also established through the efforts of this newspaper. ‘Algo, thousands of especially weak children, for three years, have been served with milk and crackers by lie subscription. Pouring the school term of 1918, 1,249,489 portions of food were sold at a penny a portion, and evemat this Jow figure there was only a net deficit ‘of $4,600, Now all this fine work has been practically abandoned. Tf the $50,000 appropriated had been used at the time it was appropriated by the city, and not held up so long by Mrs, Murray's committee, an en- fire lunch system could have been Yaunched and the city might be proud of the achievement to-day, espe uy in view of the present industrial de- pression, where suffering among the poor families ia bound to rule, To-day hundreds of children are unable to get proper food. Principals Of echools plead for enough milk and to at least nourish 7 per cent. of their children. Teachers and princi- pals, in many cases, go down Into Their own pocketbooks to give lunches ito the children who they see are in this condition, Hundreds of families having children appeal to charity that never did go pefore, The only way “3.

Others about the hotel look upon him with curiosi- ty, His card, which is engraved, reads like this: EINAR L. DANE. His Majesty the King’s Di- tor of Journeys. London, 8. W. 1. At the British Embassy in Wash- ington attaches admitted to an Eve- World correspondent that they did not know the “King’s Director,” nor had they any idea why a Royal Di- rector of Journeys should be in Amer- fea, for they do not believe King George contemplates an American tour, And even at the British Con- sulate, No, 44 Whitehall Street— where information is almost always available concerning distinguished British officials visiting New York— @ search of various volumes, Whit- aker, Debrett and sundry “Household Lists,” failed to disclose the or office of Mr. Dane. And yet, there he is at the Biltmore, and if the embassy and consulate are ignorant of his identity and mission, not so is Miss Harriet Gaylord, No 204 West 94th Street, who not only knows him, but has his confidence So completely that she enjoys the privilege of revising the interviews which he graciously gives to the press, WOMAN SAYS HE WAS KING EDWARD'S “DIRECTOR” TOO. She read the manuscript of The Evening World's interview with Mr. Dane, approved jt, and added a bit to the story told by his card. “[ met Mr. Binar L.

As King’s Messenger he wore a uni- form with the emblem of the silver greyhound, He Intends to sail Sat- urday on the Coronia.” Mr, Dane, a short, heavy set man, smooth faced, with a complexion that is neither florid nor pale, but between the two, consented, after some hesitation, to see an Evening World reporter and answer some questions, Later Miss Gaylord tele- phoned that she wanted to sce the She a interview before it was printed, saw it GEORGE AND MARY GOING TO FRANCE, BELGIUM AND ITALY. After declaring that the King and Queen are planning to visit Irance, Belgium and Italy in the spring, Mr. Dane said: “Every time the King and Queen plan a journey the first thing to con- aider js the political situation, Often there are many reasons why a King should vieit a country, and then again, owing to certain political con- ditions, there is every reason in the world why the King should not go to that country or meet the President or head of the Government.” “Have you heard that King George intends to visit America in the near future?” Mr, Dane was asked He smiled rather a faint smile “He will visit your country in time, it has been spoken of,” sald he, “but I do not think it likely this spring.” “When the King expresses a desire to travel to a certain country just yhat ceremony do you go through?" was asked ‘The matter is taken up in the Por- eign Office,” said Mr. Dane, “then the various Ambassadors are consulted and finally the whole matter is taken up at the round table.

In fact, they are simply charming people and always most in- terested in any details you give them, no matter how trifling. On their jour- neys they always spend a few hours each day with their party chatting and conversing, then a few hours ary given over to reading and enjoying the scenery along the way.” “What sort of ments for the dining cars?

However, both King and Queen’ are very simple in thelr tastes and seldom select byt two or three courses for their dinner. They do not care for highly seasoned foods and cat very little pastry or sweets, “During any journey which the King and Queen take," concluded Mr. Dane, “it has always interested me how well they remember the people they meet or even see upon the roid, If any particular person is pointed out to them and a few facts given to them in regard to that person, years afterward they will remember journey to America an you plan ss the King them and want to know the rest of the story.

Englishmen holding po- sitions so close to the Crown are not given to interviews upon court mat- ters. In.the interview it would seem that Mr, Dane has arrogated to himself duties which belong to Lords Cham- berlain, Supervisors of the House- hold, equerries, valets, dragomen and | other attendants, not to S and stewards. | If he has stated that he was in any way connected with the arrange- ments made here for the Prince of Wales, he i# “in error," according to Mr. Nye's remembrance.

Assemblyman Arthur Nelson of Jersey City has a fight for a home on his hands which he seems to stand’ & good chance of losing. He hi been ordered out of bis apartment at No, 612 Bramhall Avenue before next Monday, and landlords of other apartments have refused him as a tenant, #o all that is left for him is to seek out a hotel as a temporary asylum. In the mean time It may happen that his furniture will be put on the street as another token of his landiord’s intent to get him out. The reason for all this is a dispute over rent and the fact that Assembly- man Nelson has several bills ready for presentation to the Legisiature which will make drastic regulations governing rent incréases and the dis- possession of tenants, These will not make the landlords any happier. It {x claimed by Assemblyman Nel- son that In November, 1919, the rent of apartments in the Bramhall Ave- nue house was $6 per room, making it $30 per month for five-room apart- ments. Succeeding landlords raised the rentals until they reached $52.50 for five-room and $42 for four-reom apartments, Then the tenants took the matter up with the Rent Bureau in the office of the Director of Reve- nue and Finance, An agreement was |reached wheceby the Increase was to be allowed provided certain improve- ments were made, Nelson offered to pay the old rent, which was refused, and the case went to court, where a decision against Nelson was given by a jury. After that Nelson offered the Increased rent, though, he claims, none of the repairs was made, After being sworn in as an Assemblyman the landlords of the house, Charles Levine and Harry Tur- ketzky, ordered him out of his apart- ment.

Supreme Court Justice Hotchkiss to-day decided rent paid under old contracts by holdover tenants where landlords are suing for recovery of the premises may stand as security for any damages: obtained by the landtords. This decision helps to clarity the administration of the new rent laws. Justice Hotchkiss mage his ruling in the action of Mrs, Theresa Bern- stein, who, as the executrix of the estate of Teac M. Bernstein, sought from the Supreme Court a perentptory mandamus compelling George Olt and eight other tenants to give up their apartments at No. 504 West 168th Street, Justice Hotchkiss denied the mandatory injunction and ruled: “Bach of the defendants having consented to pay a monthly eum «qual to the former rent, an order may be presented providing for the psyment of an amount equal to the aggregate to date in each case, and the appropriate amount monthly thereafter, and that the same stand as security for any damages plain- tuff may recover.” An Old Maid _ Tax Now Is Advocate Woman Lawyer Objects to Double Standard Involved in Tax on Bachelors. The proposed tax on bachelors Isn't enough, according to Miss Lu- elle Pugh, lawyer—it should be ex- tended to Include “om maids.” “There it is again; the old double standard, Miss Pugh declared to-day in commenting upon the suggestion f Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor of Wash- | ington that the 10,000,000 bachelors | n the country should be subject to a graduated tax of $1 to $5 4 year, | vielding an income of $20,000,000, “ft thought we were getting away from that, Why should we women) be discriminated for or against in) the matter of taxation any more than | {n voting?

The counterfeit stamps and labels were confiscated im Scotti's home when Gray arrested him last night and found the place completely equipped for the manu- facture of alleged whiskey and gin, Scotti admitted that he was mak- ing and selling liquor in bottles car- rying the counterfeit labels and stamps, The purchaser, deceived by the label and the stamp om the neck of the bottle, covering the cork, thought he was buying real liquor, whereas it was stuff Scotti manufactured one day and sold the next. Gray seized on the Scotti prem- ises six bottles of real cognac, six bottles of real whiskey, five gallons of grain alcohol, a demijohn of over- night gin and five gallons of over- night whiskey, | The arrest of Scott! reveals the fact |that counterfeiting revenue stamps and labels is a flourishing business, Scott! said he bought his at Canai and Mott Streets from a man who peddied them there every day.
