Mahoney, listed by Local Board No. 88, had been removed from the draft deserters’ list. Shanedling enlisted July 17, 1917, and was discharged July 17, 1919. He failed to notify his local board he had enlisted. In the case of Mahoney of No. 225 Warren Street, Brooklyn, a record of service was found for Michael J. Maloney of No, 255 War- ren Street. The difference in the spelling and address was the cause of his being listed. Many other cases brought up by the newspapers have been investigated by the department. Of Frank W. Taylor, shown on the records as Frank W. Tyler of No, 2200 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, who, according to news- paper reports, was exempted because he was a champion rivetter at Hog Island, the department says: “Ae a matter of fact records show Tyler claimed deferred classification, which claim was disallowed; and he was physically examined and inducted into military service May 26, 1918. ‘The order was mailed to him at the American Shipyards Corporation, Hog Island, and was returned with the statement that an effort had been made to find him but he could not be located. Tyler was therefore prop- erly classified as a deserter and pub- lished as such.” Morris Freedman, of No. 29 Cook Street, Brooklyn, was listed because his enlistment was shown as Morris Friedman, and there was the same reason for not finding him as there was for not connecting Mahoney with Maloney. Samuel Rosenberg, deaf and dumb, of No. 65 East 108th Street, never answered a questionnaire. No one ever told the local board of his affliction. Henry Kunz of No. 25 East 103d Street, the statement says, never an- swered a questionnaire and the pub- ication of his name was no error on the part of the local board. Of Louts Bosyk, No. 172 McKibben Street, Brooklyn; Cyril Frazer, No. 15 Wyckoff Street, Brooklyn; Abra- ham Bernstein, No. 106 East 108th Street, and Jacob Gruengold, No. / East 106th Street, reported as dead in the newspapers, the department says sufficient evidence to establish this fact should be presented to the department, which is not in posses- sion of it. SS Ee BAN BLOCK DANCES AS PERIL TO GIRLS Jersey City Action Follows At tempt at Suicide ‘by 17-Year- Old Grace Williams. A form of outdoor amusement which had been believed by the gen- eral public to be particularly safe for the young—block dances—has been prohibited by police edict in Jersey City. Director of Public Safety, John Bentley, issued an order to-day for- bidding the issuance of any more licenses. “Reports which have reached me,” he said, “show numerous girls ruined and hundreds of others bound for disgrace if these dances are allowea to continue. The dances are sought by unscrupulous young men and un- scrupulous women for the purpose of snaring young girls. “It isn't what happens at the dances that makes them dangerous. 1x ip the opportunity for promiscuous association and the happenings after gitis have departed from the affatre with men they have men there. [ have received complaints about block dances from many clergymen. Action was hastened by the at- tempt at suicide of seventeen-year- old Grace Williams of No. 166 Grand Street on Thursday. She shot her- self because her father rebuked her for attending block dances and is dying in a hospital — MASKED ROBBERS GET CHAMPAGNE Kidnap Watchman, Then Return and Load Their Booty on Two Motor Trucks. Forty barrels of grain alcohol and forty-five cases of champagne were stolen in broad daylight to-day from the wholesale liquor establishment of Fanaro & Co.

Testifying before Special Master Graham in the Federal Court in the suit of the Newtown Gas Company, | which is seeking to have the 80-cent gas rate law declared confiscatory and unconstitutional, Donald Mac- Arthur, General Manager of the Seaboard By-Products Coke Com- pany of Summit, N. J., to-day de- clared that coke is as suitable for gas making purposes as is anthracite coal, and the former can be had for $7.50 a ton, while the gas companies are now paying $12 a ton for anthracite, Mr. MacArthur was unable to explain why the gas company insists on using coal when coke is available at such a greatly reduced cost. This testimony 1s directly corrob- orative of the charges made by Corporation Counsel O'Brien before the Public Service Commission two dags ago when he charged the gas companies with extravagance in their failure to use coke and on which oc- casion Mr, O'Brien also asked for a Federal inquiry into the gas oil eit- uation, to “bring the gas companies to their senses.” It developed to-day that researches made by experts in the Corporation Counsct's office reveal that gas oil, which the local gas companies are contracting for at 6 and 6% cents a gallon, should be procurable, Mr. O'Brien says, at 2% cents a gallon, the price that Western gas companies get it for. The People’s Gas Light and Coke Company of Chicago, Mr. O'Brien declurcs, is paying 3.7 cents a gallon, In the West, he says, the price of gas oll fluctuates in sympathy with the price of crude oil, from which it is derived. The same pipe lines from the mid continental oll flelds that supply Chi- cago also supply New York, and, as crude oil at this season is but $1 a barrel, gas oil at the refinerics should be 89-100 of a cent, with transpor- tation charges added, The price here and now for gas oil delivered shouid be not more than 2% or 3 cents a gallon. LAWYER ADMITS FORGING NAME OF HIS BENEFACTOR ——a One Alleged Offense of Seaton Cost Him Money and Aided Only His Clients, Robert W. Seaton, one of Brook- lyn's most prominent young lawyers, is out on $2,500 bail to-day, charged with forging the name of his former mentor and partner, Samuel 8. Whitehouse, to two checks. Seaton, known as “Little Bobbie,” is said to have admitted to Mr. Whitehouse the alleged forgeries in order to save a suspected clerk and later is said to have made a full confession to Assist- ant District Attorney Hemstreet. One alleged forgery is for $1,800, which he drew to enable some clients to purchase piece of property, He is said to have represented to them he had their trust funds in hand, and gave no explanation for this appar- ently altruistic action, which not only brought him no return but actually cost him some money. Later Mr. Seaton is charged with having forged a $2,000 check to pur- chase some property foreclosed when he failed to pay the mortgage for p client, although she had given niin] Lake. the necessary money. The alleged forgeries came to light when a $10 check drawn by Mr. Whitehouse to pay his Bar Association does came back marked “insufficient funds.” Mr, Seaton, who is married and has three children, lives at No, 1081 Prospect Place, He entered the em- ploy of Mr. Whitehouse as an office boy, studied law and when admitted to the bar was made managing: clerk. Eventually Mr. Whitehouse took him into partnership. This was amioably severed four years ago, but the two maintained offices together at No 164 Montague Street. When Mr, Sea- ton was brought into the District Attorney's office under arrest late yesterday members of the Prosecut- staff were amazed, for the ac- cused man had a high reputation for honesty, ability and geniality. —————_——_ Rosenbluth Gets Hearing.

It is plain that the thieves entered Miss Morgan's establishment some time late yesterday afternoon just be- fore closing time by ascending a rear fire escape to a door that was left open for ventilation purposes during the day. This door was closed and locked at 5.30 o'clock last night and was not opened afterward. The thieves, safe inside the Morgaa: establishment, took their time. They stripped wardrobes, showcases and even the forms upon which dresses were being put together, They packed the gowns away in cardboard boxes bearing Miss Morgan's name and waited for an opportunity to get away, The opportunity came shortly be- fore 12 o'clock when the policeman on post went to the point where he was to meet his relicf. Probably a lookout on the street signalled the thieves when he was out of the way, The thieves found the inside of the delivery entrance door encumbered by a heavy safety lock which it is almost impossible to manipulate from the outside. From the inside the lock problem was simple. They solved it by taking screw driver and chisels. Then the; opened the door, carried out the loot and drove away with it. The policeman who went on post at midnight reached No. 54 at about 12.10 o'clock. Complying with the rules, he tried the doors as he went along and the delivery entrance door of the M gan establishment opened a his touch. Going upstairs, he found noth~ ing in the shop but the empty show- cases and stripped forms. A cigarette butt left by the thieves on a table was atill smoking. Miss Morgan did not learn of the robbery until she reached the shop at 9 o'clock this morning. It was an hour and a half later when detectives arrived.
