Three deaths, due directly-or in- directly to drink, two unquestionably brought about by poisoned liquor, were reported to-day in Manhattan und’a fourth victiin is in Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. It is evident from two of the fatalties in Manhat- fan that deadly drink Is belng sold alohg the waterfront and that it probably cOhtains wood alcohol. The latest death is that of Frank Dalley, forty-five years old, who died in hig home, No. 402 West 31st Street. His case was reported to the Medical Examiner this morning by Dr, Sha- Piro of No, 460 West 34th Street, whose statement was that eld was « “hard drinker.” One of the Manhattan victims, about forty and unidentified, clasped his hands over his eyes, cried “I am hlind!"" and collapsed on the pier at James Slip last night, He died be- fore an ambulance arrived from Beckman Street Hospital, and while the doctors said death was due to al- coholic poison, |t will not be known until after the autopsy to-day whether {t was wood alcohol. The man evidently was a longshoreman, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed 150 pounds. ) \ The second Manhattan victim was William Williams, thirty-five years old, of No. 186 West Street, a cook, who was found sightless and almost unconscious on the sidewalk and died in Bellevue Hospital. The doctors said he was killed by alcohol poison, and will determine to-day whether it was wood alcohol, Leslie S. Kinnard, forty, a civil en- gineer and adtertising man of Chi- cago, who haf been at the Herald Square Hotel in Manhattan since his arrival recently from Peru, went to the office of District Attorney Ruston in Brooklyn and\ said he feared he was going. blind. Before going to Kings County Hospital he offered to help get the man he said sold him liquor. He accompanied Assistant District Attorney Snyder to a ‘speak easy,” and with marked money they bought a bottle of alleged whiskey, which is being analyzed. -Albert Ad- dabbo, nineteen, No. 3839 Hudson Avenue, Brooklyn, was arrested as * proprietor of the placex Kinnard, who is believed to have a mild case of wood alcohol poisoning, said the drink he got in the place kept him unaware of his whereabouts ‘rom Thursday until he found himself walking along Myrtle Avenue late yesterday. He said that during his wanderings $700 he had sewed up in lis coat was stolen. District Attorney Rusfn said his office and the police would imme- diately start a general crusade against suspected sources of poisoned liquor in Brooklyn by making raids in all parts of the borough. He said the xeneral clean-up would be by dis- tricts. =i BROKER ACQUITTED ON U. S.

The raiders had a search warrant and say they found in a room in the rear of the second floor liquors, wines and beer, As they passed out through the dining room with the seized liquor, the agents s&fa, the walters appeared as if at a funeral. It was more than some of them could stand to see all the hooch de parting forever from a place that had been famous for its exceptional wines. Some of the confiscated wine was on ico in tubs, indicating that certain regular customers were dis appointed last night when they went to dinner. Some of the waiters tried to sneak away with a few bottles, ac- cording to the raiders, but failed. Outside, in the street, there was a crowd numbering hundteds, while scores of other persons leaned out of Bleecker Street windows as the con- traband was being carried out and loaded into trucks. The dry agents were jeered and ‘‘foshed," but no ofie attempted to Interfere. The selzed goods included 11 cases and 16 bottles of beer, 18 cases of Chianti wine, 1 bottle of whiskey, 17 bottles of Bacardi rum, 16 quarts, 11 pints .and 10 half-pints of mixed cocktails, 3 five-gallon jugs of wine, 2 one-gallon jugs of wine, 32 pints of wine, 1 case of Vermouth and 10 bot- tles of wine.

Out of 86 cases brought before the Grand Jury 15 Indictments were|Mary Catherine Campbell, found. ‘The indictments were chiefly against alleged bootieggers. The Grand Jury dismissed practically all cases against individuals alleged to have been caught carrying liquor on their per- sons at dance halls, restayrants and similar places. Cases against person’ found with liquor in small quantities, possibly for their own use, were also dismissed, HIS C?H°OH at $468 A CASK DWINDLES TO'H?O WORTH $0 Saloonkeeper Buys Bootleg “Spiritus Frumenti” and Gets Plain Aqua Pura, Among the bootleg gentry the trick of changing liquor into water after a victim has paid for the former is al- most as old as th~ Eighteenth Amend- me=t.

Looking at the new ‘‘Miss Amer- fea'’ full face, one notes first the sculptural proportion of her face— the resemblance to a statue's mod- elling instead of to that of a wax doll. Her forehead is broad, and nether high enough to be bleak nor low enough to be a moron's. There is the classic measurement, the width of one eye, between the eyes; studying | that, one realize that most persons’ eyes 4 jammed too close together. There is fine modelling over the cheek- bones, and the nose is not fore- shortened—snubbed. ‘The upper lip is short, and the curve of the mouth is the true Cupid's bow— without the aid of a lipstick, The broad and intelligent across yes and brow, tapers into the softest, most girlishly curved Jaw and chin.

Willlam Hinds of the Larchmont police to make an investigation, It was at first thought Hie had gone on a vaca- ton. Mr." Donnell was fifty-three years old and Is survived by his wife.
