NEW YORK JANITORS QUIT JOBS BECAUSE SOCIAL TONE LACKING

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 28. The exclusive millionaire-Janitor "skyllng" colony that inhabits the skyscraper tips of Lower Manhatan is splitting up. As the millionaires move in the Janitors are moving out. The reason is largely social but isn't that the Bkyscraper zone, with its elaborate aerial bungalows and roof gardens is becoming too exclusive for the janitors. The trouble is that de spite the influx of millionaires the dis trict hasn't enough social tone to suit the family of the modern big building Janitor- who wears the title of "building superintendent. J. H. Hernon, department manager of a large downtown realty management company, said today it was becoming harder and harder to find resident superintendents to occupy the apartments that most of the older skyscrapers maintain for that purpose. Type Becoming Higher "The type of men taking these Jobs is becoming higher and higher," he said, "as the complexities of big build-, ing operation increases. That means that the wives have social ambitions that they feel they can not gratify down here in the business district. They prefer to live uptown or in the more exclusive suburbs. "Some of the superintendents' departments are very handsome and nearly all of them have magnflcent views of the harbor with the statute of Liberty, Governor's Island and Ellis Island looming in the background. These advantages, however, don't seem fcufficient to offset the social disabilities of the neighborhood." Dean of Janitors G. Thyberg, superintendent of the old Product Exchange, is dean of the downtown cliff dwellers. He lives in the picturesque red brick tower of the exchange at Broadway and Beaver street, in the heart of the new millionaire colony. ! From the south windows of his twelfth story aerie, Just under the big tower clock, he can look out across the tog of the custom house and see thel6-room apartment of Henry t. Doharty, Wall street banker, on the roof of the Chpssbrough building. His west windows face the new Cunard building on the twentysecond story of which Percy A. Rockefeller, capitalist, and Sir Ashley Sparks, head of the Cunard line in the United States, maintain their private office dwellings. "It is true that there aren't as many of us as there were," Mr. Thyberg aid. "There isn't much social life down here but there are compensations for us of the older generation. For one thing, it's quiet. This is the busiest, place in the world in the daytime, but by 7 or S in the evening it's as quiet and peaceful almost as the country." Police Court News FINED AND JAILED. Russel Goodwin, arrainged in police eourt Wednesday morning on a charge of vagrancy, plead guilty and was given a fine of $5 and costs. He was returned to the city jail pending payment. Goodwin had been picked up Monday evening on suspicion, in company of thre eothers, whose cases were disposed of Tuesday. stare

MURRAY Marjorie Daw, Is appearing In "The Butterfly Girl" at the Murray theatre. This charming young star finds herself in a delightful comedy role exactly suited to her talents. She starts out as a small town girl who has Just been left an inheritance. Having captured and discarded the affections of all the young men in the town, she decides to tackle the more sophisticated men of the big city. Her adventures come fast and furious and she leaves a trail of broken hearts and wasted money. She soon finds herself compelled to work for a living, and casually drifts into the office of a banker upon whom she had practiced her charms, and announces that Bhe will become his business partner. He gives her a position, and a novel comedy situation arises. But a business career Is not all it Is cracked up to be, and she decides to marry one of her many suitors. With all the comedy there is a serious vein running throughout that lead3 to a dramatic climax. The banker has fallen in love with the pretty butterfly girl, and his devoted wife discov ers it, and sets about to regain her husband's affections. At the same time she transforms the butterfly girl.

Spiridonova is the acknowledged leader of the Russian peasants. She was banished to Siberia under the Czarist regime for bombing a provincial official, but returned at the time of the revolution and was an .important factor in leading the peas ants into the combination witn worKmen, which made the Bolshevist coup possible. But the Brest-Litovsk treaty was too bitter a dose for her. She denounced it in the Fifth All-Russian Soviet congress because she said it robbed the peasant's of food and clothing. She also denounced Lenine's plan, whereby he arrayed the poor peasants against the more prosperous ones, 'and said it was putting a premium on shiftlespness. Immediately after Spiridonova's sensational denunciation of the BrestLitovsk treaty, Count Mierbach, the German ambassador in Moscow, was murdered and the social revolutionist uprising. at Yarrosiay ana uiuei uulbreaks against the Bolshevist authority took place.
