Hotel Keepers Must Take Even Though It Ruins House. Attorney General Carmody's a t ten­

tion has been directed to the fact tha t c i rculars a re being issued by some heal th and summer resor t s in which announcement is made that the i r places a r e not open to cer ta in races . In a s t a t emen t Monday Mr. Carmody pointed out tha t under an a m e n d m e n t to the Civil Rights Law by the las t Legis la ture , such notices will be prohibited af ter September 1.

T h e a t to rney general after empha­sizing the fact that the amendment prohibited discrimination against "any person on account of race, creed, or color" or adver t i semen t s or not ices tha t the pa t ronage or custom of any person belonging to or purport ing to be of any par t icular race, creed, or color Is unwelcome and not desired or solicited," added:

T h e public places to which this law applies a r e Inns, taverns , hotels e i ther for t rans ien t guests or for those seeking heal th , recreat ion or rest , r e s t au ran t s , ea t ing houses, pub­lic conveyances on land or water, bath houses, barber shops, t hea t re s and music halls.

T h e new law provides that any per­son violating its provisions shall be liable to a penalty of not loss than $100 nor more than $500 to be recov­ered by the person aggrieved. A vio­lation also is made a misdemeanor , and upon conviction a line of not less than $100 nor more than $500, or im­pr i sonment of not less than thir ty nor more than ninety days, or both line and impr isonment may be imposed.

It was claimed a t the t ime of pass­ing tha t th is law was aimed particu­larly a t Catskill Mountain and Adir­ondack boarding houses. T h e law seems a very unjust one.

Again Active in Delaware County Collecting Money.

Up at I 'opacton J u n e 18th, Fred Prat t , while going homo from school, saw a t rout in the shallow water of a brook. Neighbors saw him take the t rout out with his hare hands and they squealed on him to a game protector. T h e result was that the protector , scenting money like a dog does blood, came to I 'opacton and I ' ra t t confessed Judgment and set t led for Slo. The t rout was of the German brown variety and through the effort of the neighbors it proved to be on expensive ilsli for Pra t t to catch. The hearing was before Justice Terry as was also the case of Thomas Howe of I 'opacton, who went woodchuck hunting without a license. Protec­tors went on his trail , advised no ilonbt by some whiffet, and Howe confessed judgment and paid $12 and costs. Jus t ice Terry sent the fines to the Forest, Fish and Game Commis­sion, as many people object to hav­ing a protector carry so much money with him—he might lose it.

Game Protec tor Far ley and De-Sllvn wore here last week Thursday and Friday but only got $10 ns a result of their spott ing. Thursday they went over to the depot, took the 0:32 train for points up the line, when they hoard the report of a gun on the knoll opposite the depot. They gave the i r grips to the bus driver and concluded to go on a man hunt. An Italian residing in t he shanty near the depot was up on the hill hunt ing and it was the report of his gun that galvanized the spies into real Ifo. An Italian boy saw the offi-< er romillg and lie ran to tiie woods and told the hunte r that men wore aft :• him, The hun te r secreted his «nii in a crevice in a ledge and slapped out. Farley and DoSilva waited until 11 o'clock tha t night for the Italian to re turn to the shanty , bul lie failed to show up. But they knew he was an Italian and that they could no doubt bluff him into paying a line, so they visited the shanty early Friday morning, at ?,::!0, and found their man in bed. The I tal ian 's companions squealed on him and the protectors again sang their li l t le song of just what they would do if he didn't shell out, so the Italian con­fessed judgment for $10.75, the 75 cents represent ing costs . Jus t ice Od-v.ell, before whom the hear ing was held, kindly remit ted the costs . The protectors then depar ted, and to the men who were acquainted with the affair they looked like a couple of bantam roosters witli chips on their backs. As one spec ta tor r emarked : "My! how they s t ru t when they scare $10 out of an I tal ian."

The protectors , when they go on a raid, should sing as a duet, "Oh, what will the harvest bo?"—Downsvillo News.

New York Newspaper and

Camera Men Numerous in

Andes.

Sheriff J e r o m e J. Parre l ! of this county a r res ted Mrs. John C. Tatiim, the young wife of a New York cotton broker, at the Tatum home in Croat N'ock, Long Island, last weok Wed­nesday morning. Mrs. Tatum was a t breakfast when the sheriff arr ived with a wa r r an t for he r ar res t . T h e charge was assaul t , and it was made by her youngest sister, Kathryn Mac-Arthur, who swore tha t on July 1 in the farm house of Robert Par ish a t Shaver town, Mrs. Ta tum had beaten her until she was helpless.

Kathyrn told her father, J a m e s MacArthur . tha t her sister became angry and bent her because she stub­bornly refused to marry the young man whom the s is ter had selected a s her husband. She declared that Mrs. Ta tum had for two yea r s enthusias­tically played the role of ma tchmaker and had chosen Frederick W. I 'oters, Jr. . of Now York for her dance, She said she had known the young man for several years , but hud not the sl ightest intention of marrying liim. She wont to Shavertown to get away from her sister and her importuni­t ies. Tiie T a t u m s followed her there , she says, and insisted that alio re­turn to Great Neck and permit Mrs. Ta tum to announce the engagement a t a luncheon she had planned. Kathryn refused and the storm broke.

It is said that the marr iage of Mrs. Ta tum caused a row in the family. T h a t was in 1909. Mr. MacArthur, the father, and his sons wore arrayed against the mother and the daughters and the MacArthurs commenced sep­arat ion proceedings. Now, Kathryn has gone over to the father 's side.

The sheriff arrived in Andes with his pr isoner Thursday noon and a hear ing was begun before Jus t ice of tin; Peace Charles II. Johnson.

Miss MacArthur swore on the stand that her s is ter entered her room the day in quest ion a t Shaver town and grabbing her by the hai r boat and kicked her until she was unconscious. Kathryn . who is "4 and handsome, was on the stand for an hour and a half and told a s t ra ight story despi te the cross-questioning of the opposing lawyer, who dragged her through a long story of family history.

The two families, with their attor­neys, went to Andes again yesterday morning and the hear ing will prob­ably be completed. It was not com­pleted last Thursday because of the absence of Mrs. Par ish, a t whose home the alleged assaul t was com­mitted and who was said to be an eye wi tness to the affair.

Andes was full of repor ters for New York papers and camera men who chased the members of the Ta tum and MacArthur part ies about town in an effort to get pictures for their papers .

At the bearing yesterday morning in Andes Mrs. Tatum was held for t he grand jury and bail was fixed at $2,000.
