1 A. M. CLOSING THREAT ROUSES NIGHTUFE KING Harry Richman Announces Crusade to Save Gotham Clubs ‘From Ruin/ BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press SUIT Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 28.— Leaders of New York’s night life marshaled their battle lines Just before going to bed this morning to oppose the attempt of Edward Mulrooney, police commissioner, to close all night clubs at 1 a. m., and make this city a “cleaner and sweeter place." The commissioner, aroused by the fact that Charles (Chink) Sherman, known as an intimate of the late Arnold Rothstein, was shot in the Club Abbey promptly at sunrise the other morning, announced Tuesday that the time had arrived when, as he phrased it, steps must be taken. He proposed that all clubs should close at 1 a. m., even those which have carried on until 6 a. m., and he further deposed that he would take the matter up with the legislature if necessary. Plans Tilt With Mulrooney Just before dawn today, Harry Richman, an acquaintance of Miss Clara Bow of Brooklyn and Hollywood, interrupted a ballad in the Club Richman to announce that he was eager to run a tilt with Commissioner Mulrooney. In the middle of the band-box floor of his night club on West Fifty-sixth street, Richman had been discoursing with the assistance of an orchestra, on the pleasure of “Wandering Down a Vagabond Road.’’ He said you could “take all your cities, your gold and your wealth; could take everything ,but leave me my health and let me wander down a vagabond road.” He came off the vagabond road almost instantaneously when Commissioner Mulrooney’s name was mentioned. Mistake in Judgment “Don’t get me wrong?” warned Mr. Richman, "I’m a friend of Commissioner Mulrooney and I think he is a man of judgment. Unfortunately, his judgment has lapsed in this matter. “Why, how can people go to the theater and get to a night club in time for more than one dance if we have to close at 1 o’clock?” Mr. Richman paused for an answer, but since there was none available, he continued; “It will mean that clubs will have to go out of business and that the night club life of this town will be ruined. Think of it! Ruined!” Even the orchestra paused to think of it.

BeUe Joins in Crusade "I,” continued Mr. Richman, “will lead a crusade against this move. Sword in hand, I will fight it to the end.” From other sources came the mutter of discontent. Mile. Belle Livingstone, author, artist and onetime possessor of the “most poetic legs in the world,” paused in the midst of her book “With Livingstone Through Darkest America,” and announced that she, too, thought Mr. Mulrooney is an excellent policeman, but that he could never put this thing across. With ink-stained fingers she gestured and related how her salon—which once was raided by a wily prohibition agent who wormed his way into her confidence by singing Irish songs in a melting tenor—would never succumb to such a law without a fight. higfTschool girls CLUB IS COMPLETED Meetings at Municipal Gardens Held Each Thursday. Organization of a girls’ club at Municipal Gardens for girls of high school age has been completed. The club meets at 7:30 each Thursday evening in the Municipal Gardens’ building. Mrs. H. E.

ORDER ECONOMY AT POORJARM County Council Demands Expenses Be Pared. Check on what was termed a heavy “per capita expense” of inmates at the Marion county poor farm, was ordered Tuesday by the county council. Over the protests of Byron Carter, assistant poor farm superintendent, who declared he will not assume the responsibility for “cutting down” expenses, the council issued a warning that costs will have to be pared. Criticising "somebody” for allowing too many undeserving persons to live at the infirmary, councilmen ignored Carter’s protest that he was not responsible for the large number of inmates. Studying an ordinance which showed that the winter months have drained the poor farm budget, leaving it overspent more than $2,000, the council told Carter he “would have to live within his budget, especially when his job is at stake.” Carter retaliated with the assertion that inmates were not receiving proper care, even under the present budget. 6 FLEE COUNTY JAIL Officers Wound Two Prisoners in Break. By United Press SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 28—Six prisoners who overpowered the Greene county jailer and made a successful break for freedom .were sought today by a posse.

SCIENCE WAGING FIERCE WAR ON NARCOTICHABIT Substitution of Harmless Drugs Is Object of Medical Offense. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—A fundamental scientific attack upon drug addiction has been under way for the last two years, it became known here when Dr. William Charles White, chairman of the national research council’s committee, summarized the progress 60 far and the promises of future accomplishment. Instead of treating the unfortunates who have become addicts to morphine or other habit-form-ing preparations, the groups of scientists working on this problem have begun with a thorough investigation of the chemical, biological and medical phases of the problem. First, the committee is attempt-

lng to replace habit-forming drugs with drugs without addiction properties. Morphine, for instance, is strongly addicting, whole codeine, which causes few addicts, can replace many uses of morphine if used in larger doses. Marked progress has been made in recent years in the replacement of cocaine by safe drugs in practically all its uses except application for surface anesthesia. This gives the committee hope that substitutes for other habit-forming drugs can be found and the national and international control of the manufacture, handling and sale of narcotics made easier. With the co-operation of the American Medical Association, the committee plans to furnish physicians with information on the latest discoveries of how nonhabit forming drugs can be substituted for those that are likely to cause addicts. To discover narcotic substitutes two research laboratories were established, one at the University of Virginia for chemical analysis and synthesis of alkaloid substances and the other at the University of Michigan for the biological testing of narcotics and their substitutes. The national research council committee has also worked closely with the United States public health sendee and the treasury department narcotic bureau. The funds for the work have been provided by the Bureau of Social Hygiene, Inc.,

WAGE BOOST IS HELD VITAL TO PROSPERITY Labor Leader Asserts Pay Must Keep Pace With Increased Production. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Wages and salaries paid by industry were $815,000,000 less in the first ha of 1930 than in the first half of 1929. Yet dividend payments for the first half of 1930 were $350,000,000 more than for the first six months of 1929. Railroads paid out $91,000,000 less in salaries during the first six months of 1930, but $39,900,000 more in dividends. In these figures from the new census, lies the explanation of the present depression, John P. Frey of the American Federation of Labor, believes. * “Industry no more can continue so produce without a market than it

can check money out of the bank without first having sufficient deposits,” said Frey in a speech delivered at the conference on permanent preventives of unemployment being held here by Catholic, Jewish and Protestant church organizations. “Our production experts have astonished us with toe results which they have secured In industry but we now are staggering industrially because of their utter failure to stabil. ize production or to establish an economically sound relation between the wealth produced by industry and the amount of wages paid to the workman. “Unless the real wage increases in proportion to industry’s capacity to produce there can be no permanent prevention of unemployment. “It is not merely a question of what labor may be entitled to. It largely Is a question of the volume of wages which must be paid unless industry and commerce desires to strangle itself, for dividends and interest will not continue to bo paid unless the real wage is materially increased. “While the increase in total wages paid in 1929 over 1923 has amounted to $413,779,604, the value of manufactured products outstripped the volume of the wages with exhilarating speed, to the extent of $8,887,941,814. “As the principal market for our

manufactured products is the home market, it is not difficult to understand why this enormous increase In the value of the products compared with the increase in the total wages paid resulted in the collapse of the consumers’ market. “Only a fair distribution of the wealth created can enable the people
