NEW YORKERS PAY
PRICE FOR GAYNESS
l - .
Numerous Arrests are Made of
New Year Celebraters For
Violating Liquor. Law
1 .
NEW YORK, 6 Jan. 1.—New Yorkers
who danced and drank away the old
year, today paid the divers terms dic
tated by the fiddler. It was "cold gray
dawn” for everybody, what with a
downpour of rain apd & whistling
wind, and there were not a feW per
sons, despite the laws, who awakened
with aching heads and tastes' in their
mouth like green persimmons. ->
Others greeted the day, with scmr
faces and creaky joints caused by
hours spent on the none too oomfort
able bunks of jails. These '.persons had
been too reckless in'the- display of
pocket flasks filled with the liquor in
which they had planned, to drown the
* sorrows of 1922. , •,
Even though there were; drinkers in
the dazzling establlshmente along the
great white way who were not caught,
prohibition enforcement agents killed
Bll the joy that might have sheen. It
was only in the tucked away places, of
the city that revellers followed their
bent without molestation. - N—~
There were only 129 prohibition law
arrests in all—70 by federal agents and
o by the police. About 200 gallons of
liquor were taken from 41 establish
ments. E. C. Yellowley, federal direc
tor of- prohibition enforcement for New
, York state, declared, that the result -of
life staff's work was "more than, satis
factory.” He said he believed' his
warning that violators would be ar
rested and jailed had prevented -much
law violating. - ■ ,
His warning to owners of resorts
that they would be closed by injunc
tion proceedings should they tie caught
dispensing liquor, resulted in closing
of more than a dozen large placed at 9
o’clock last night.
Most of those arrested were released
on bail today pending grand Jury
action on the complaints against them.
Fines of $10 and up were imposed on a
few drinkers who pleaded guilty.
Some of the cabaret managers, while
not bold enough to dispense liquof
from their own stores,‘if they had any,
provided, as best fhey could, for the
protection of their flask toting pa
trons. The ruse of one ingenious man
ager was effective—-for a spell. The
jazz ban played one piece to numerous
encores and during the chorus the
lights were dimmed.
The enforcement agents finally^ got
suspicious and arrested two men just
as the lights flared- up.

Celebrate Fiftieth
, Anniversary of Library
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—Chicago’s public
library, born and housed during its
early years in an abandoned iron water
tank, today celebrated! its 50th anni
versary.
The library was one of the indirect
benefits from the Chicago fire of 1851.
Thomas Hughes, author of “Tom
Brown’s School Da}#,” assumed the
town’s library had been destroyed and
collected 12,000 volumes in England as
a present fo^ the city. The English
dohors of the books never knew Chi
cago had never had a library.
When the-books arrived a fire-proof
storage> place was desired, and Mayor
Joseph Medill, editor of the Tribune,
selected a big iroff water tank on top
of the city hall. The metal top was
replaced by a skylight, tables and
chairs,installed and cases built around
the walls. Here the library flourished
several years.

State Wide Bill For
City Planning to be
Asked of Legislature
ASHEVILLE, Jim. 1.—A state-wide
city planning bill to be placed before
the general assembly -will be drafted
at a meeting of the legislative and ex
ecutive committees of the North Car
olina Municipal association and others
Interested, which will be held within
the next ten days. Mayor Gallatin
Roberts, president of the Municipal as
sociation. stated tonight.
This measure to be placed before the
lawmakers of the state will change
three planning laws which how applies
to only Buncombe, New Hanover and
Wake counties and make it state-wide
in its application. The meas’ure would
make it legal for any town or city in
the state .. to employ an expert city
planner and appoint a city planning
commission which could work in co
operation with the city commissioners.
A city might be improved commer
cially, and with a view to beauty at
the same time, always considering the
necessity of providing for expansion.
The proposed law will not be manda
tory in any respect as It simply will
provide that where any town or city in
the state desires to adopt the city
planning commission method of im
proving the city it may do so legally
and the commission appointed will
have a legal standing.
Asheville was the first city in*the
state to adopt city planning.and this
city’s pioneer work in this line in
North Carolina has aroused much in
terest over the state, while Asheville
has been widely advertised and com
mented upon by reason of th adoption
of ctiy planning.
-Something of the rapid growth and,
spread of the city planning since it#i
adoption by Asheville is seen in the
fact that it is under consideration in
Charlotte and Winston-Salem; Durham
has taken active steps toward' city
planning; Greensboro is 'beginning to
operate under the plan seaured under
the Murphy administration; Raleigh is
actively interested and New Bern is
using a city planner in rebuilding
devastated districts recently swept by

that the separate legislators in Ireland

everything which advances the wel- I

may enjoy renewed prosperity in the
new year.’

Seek Amendment to
Modify Immigration
Laws of the Nation
Manufacturers Association Head
Says Stringent Laws Make ■
Labor-Shortage
NEW ' YORK, Jari. 1.—Immediate
amendment of the Immigration quota
law so as to authorise the secretary of
labor to let down^the bars for particu
lar cases of workmen needed by the
nation’s industries, is urged by the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers in
a program of legislation which that
body will seek to bring into being dur
ing 1928.
The report, made public today by
John E. Edgerton, association presi
dent,. presents citations which Mr.
Edgerton says have been reached after
two years of intensive study sot the
immigration problem.
It asserts that there is a growing
shortage of common labor, which pre
vents employment of many skilled
workers, and that there is little hope
of correcting this situation under the
present law.
Another amendment proposed to cure
the labor shortage is one providing
that a.uotas allowed the various na
tionalities should he fixed in terms
of “not" immigration. Under the pres
ent law, says the report, there may,
be an actual loss In the total of aliens
from a given country, because, more
may leave the country than are per
mitted to -enter. This was true last
year of Italians, of whom 40,000 en
tered the oountry, while 53,000 took
their departure. .
Another amendment sought would
provide for exception of immigrants
before they embark for Ainerica. Im

ger, musical comedy stars, are bring
ing a new musical play to the Victoria
theatre, for one performance, on next
Monday night. “As You Were," is the
name of it, and it is in two acts and
seven scenes. They have a company of
30 performers, including a rattling
godd chorus. These choristers were
not only picked for their looks, but for
their singing and dancing ability as
well. ' i
“As You Were” has a plot, but no one
ever minds the plot of musical comedy.
Suffice it is to say that it gives Miss
Ring«many opportunities to dppear m
gorgeous gowns and aing the kind of
songs that she can sing better than any
one else.
Mr. Wlnninger, her co-star, is a co
median of great artistry. They were
here last season in “The Whirl of the
World,” but “As You Like It” is consid
ered even better entertainment. It is
essentially a laughing, dancing and
singing show. >
Surrounding the stars are many ca
pable performers, including a male
quartette, a rattling good dancing team
■and Edgar Atkinson Ely. Tickets will
go on sale Saturday at the Wilmington
■Talking Machine company. f
“THE GHOST BREAKER?’ '
“The Ghost Breaker," which was
shown at the Grand theater last even
ing, with Wallace Reid as star, proved
ito be a genuinely entertaining picture.
The story starts off with a sucfcession
of thrills, the action moving from
feuds in Kentucky to castles in Spain,
with a joyous, happy-go-lucky inter
lure in New York city. The sequence
of ghost episodes, nihioh occur in the
Spanish castle, are one sizzling alter
nation of laughter and thrills and the
ending, as happy as it is sudden, will
send you home in an amiable frame of
mind.
Lila Lee is charming as the Spanish'
senorita, Walter Hiers, playing his
first blackface role, has nothing better
to his credit than his interpretation of
Rusty Snow, the negro vaTet. There
are other popular players in the bast,
all of whom acquitted themselves with
credit.
