NEW YORK. Sept. fir—A taxicab
driver who may not like the size of
a tip offered him will accept it
politely. neverthcrleas, and be grate-
ful to receive and gratuity at all it
be‘ wants to keep clear of the law.
Magistrate George W. Simpson in
tho,Wcat Side Court issued this
warning yesterday. and he empha-
sised it by holding a recalcitrant
chauffeur without bail for examina-
tion Saturday morning.
Benjamin Knastcr. 20 years old.
was the chauffeur who will spend
the next few days in a cell instead
of in his home. 602 Brook Avenue.
Bronx. Dr. Joseph M. Klein of libs
Fulton street. Jamaica. L. 1.. hired
Knaster at the Pennsylvania Station
and rode to Forty-third street and
Seventh avenue. Dr. Klein had Miss
Theresa Craig of Walnut street.
Long Beach, 1.. 1., with him and the
couple were in search of theatre
tickets.
When be dismissed Knastcr the
dentist llrinllcd him 30 cents. The
meter i:|r~ was 20 cents. According
to the .l. l t and Miss Craig. Knac—
ter was surly. He pretended to ex-
amine the dentist's dime to see if it
- were good and then exclaimed:
"How in blazes do you expect a
taxi-driver to live on tips like this?"
According to the couple. there
was considerable more impolite con-
versation from the taxi driver and
he finally took five pennies from his
pocket and hurled them in Dr.
Klein's face. Then he drove away.
The dentist had taken his number.
however, and Knastcr was arrested
' at his garage by Detective Ferguson
of the West Forty-seventh street
StatiOn.
1n remanding Knaster for investi-
gation by probation officers, the
Magistrate said:
"Taxi drivers must take what they
get and be thankful for it. You are
the type of smart taxi driver who is
never satisfied with the gratuity of-
t'ered you by the public from whom
you earn your living. Dr. Klein of-
fered you 50 per cent of your bill as
a. tip. I just want to warn all taxi
drivers that it is not for them to fix
the amount of the tip. They ought
to be glad to get any gift without
offering insults."

LEGAL CODE TO
END POLYGAMY
AMONG TURKS
CONSTAN'l‘LN'OPLE, Sept. 17.—
(AP). A new and modern legal code
for Turkey. designed to sweep away
thogold laws based on the Koran.
has been completed by a commis-
sion of experts and will be placed
before the Grand National Assembly
at Angora for adoption whenmext
that body meets. The civil code of~
Switzerland and the commercial
code of Germany have been models
for the: work of the commission.
Polygamy is completely abolishedy
civil marriages only are legal and
the right of inheritance by will is
adopted. By the old law wills were
not legal, and automatically male
descendants received twice as much
as female.
The new code gives great free-
dom to the press, but also places
hcavy responsibilities. The right. 'of
Cabinet inembers to close news-
papers is suspended. The courts
alone may fix responsibilities and
penalties. .

INT 0 THE RIVER
Chums Calmly Tell of
End Of Little “Fresh
Guy” —- Police Drag
For Body
, NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-—Two little
boys sat on the airing-piece at the
foot of East Ninetisth street yester-
day and calmly told how Harold
Bernstein. six. had been tossed to
his death into the East river "Just
because he was a some kid that
wouldn't take a bluff from bigger
fellows."
After an intensive 48-hour coach
in cellars and on roots in the vicini-
ty of Harold'- home, 226 East
Eighty-Third street. since he disap-
peared last Monday. detectives learn-
ed from William Fiorio. ten. and his
brother Joseph, seven. living at 1504
Avenue A. that the missing young-
ster had been drowned.
While Willie Florlo admitted that
he had two fights with Harold on
the rocky beach back of the House
of Good Shepherd and the adjoin-
ing pier, he stoutly maintained dur-
ing hours of questioning that it was
another boy who struck the six-
year-old on the head with a heavy
stick tttd hurled him into the water.
And little Joe. who was a witness
to a series of kid battleslthat waged
on the river-front ail Monday after-
noon. corroborated his brother—
that it was a strange boy whose
name they did not know, sent Har-
old to his death.
Willie and Joe recounted how
Harold held his own all afternoon
against overwhelming odds. Al
though only six and a mighty little
youngster. he hit back at the bigger
lads who picked on him.
Joe, in his boyish way told how
another big boy wnose "sneakers"
and water wings Harold had tOsse‘d
into the water from the beach ox-
claimcd: ‘ .
“Now 1 got yuh w'cro I wantb
yuh."
Then. according to Joe. the big
boy struck Harold over the head
with such force that the little fol-
low reeled “as if he was
"then he tumbled overboard
we didn't see him no more."
concluded.
Following the admission of the
Florio brothers. police boats and
volunteer lifesaver: began dragging
the East river at the point whore
Harold tumbled in.
And while they dragged, Jacob
Bernstein. the saddened father, and
hundreds of little Harold's pals
looked on.
Willie lt‘lorio said
"Yuh see, he was a little taller
and was buttin' in. Us guys told him
to lay off and play by himself. but
he Jest wouldn't. We was butldin’
a fire on th' beach near the 'Shop-
herd' an' I tell 'im to scat. An' he
tells me tuh scat tntself. Then I
hlts ‘im with th' stick jest acrost
h‘s back. An' he gives me each an
awful kick in the shins flat I fall-
down. He smacks a couple other
guys bigger'n ‘im and den he
wouldn't scoot.
He goes over on th’ pier an'
hutthinto other big guys, sn' dey
tells ‘im we're tuh git off. But he
Jest wouldn't. Then in goes aboard
th' boat and the big teller who he
takes do sneakers and swimmln’
wings from and t'rows overboard,
soaks ‘im over th' head.
"But I suess it was his own fault.
‘cause he wouldn't stop huttin' in
tuh th' big guys. But. luo was a
game kid. I tell yoh, fer a. little
fellowI his size."
Witch asked why big little should
pick on ruch a little tel.ow, Willie
replied:
”Well. I tell yuh, he was a. fresh
guy. Dat‘s all dey had ag‘in ’im.
But he was game."

a common occurence orders
coming from Montanna. some of
the southern states and even
from Cuba, for bats to be made
up in some special color or com-
bination for folks we have
never seen.
Yesterday a woman from
Florida asked for our Personal

tual understanding of her needs
so she could order things sent
