Page Six PHALAN FOLLY June 21, 1939 Salesman Fails In Latest Deal I To Close Deal Dissolute Press fSpeciall New York, June 21.-Attempting to sell the Woolworth Building to William L. Newton for a cup of coffee in New York City late today, John E. Collins was arrested by Officer Al Brooks of the 41st prc- cinct police station and given a hearing before Judge T.Ezra Hitch. He was remanded to jail without bail. It was brought out at the hear- ing that Newton, having purchased the Brooklyn Bridge, Singer Build- ing, the Flatiron Building and Metropolitan Opera House for a total of twenty 1201 cents, became suspicious when he was offered the purchase of the VVoolworth Build- ing bv -Collins. Newton later testi- Zied that Collins may have been the one who sold him the other build- ngs. This is conceded as likely by police. who found out that the pris- oner had experience in making up while he was a dramatic player at Central High School in Erie. Police are going to give Collins a three-months' chance to sell the basement of the 41st Precinct police station to the rest of the inmates. If successful. he may further his operations in selling Sing Sing Prison to Colonel Lindberg, who is trying to find a place free from gathering crowds. RADIO CLUB ON AIR FOR PROGRAM Dunkle Barler's Loonier Radio Club will be on the air tonight for its regular weekly meeting. The confab will have as a premier for a snlendid program the admission of Clarence Mosier, George White, Russell Anderson and Harry Bur- kell into active membership. John Bossolt will lead group singing in the immortal bal'ad of fyou have no ideal and all members are ex- pected to stand by their radio sets and join in the throat-clearing. Harold Farkas will sing a saxa- phone solo on his mouth organ to close the program. Robert Suhanek has been chosen as Master of Cere- monies for this meeting. Inspector Critical Result of Fight With Banditti As a result of an embroglio with banditti late yesterday, William W. Kay, gas-house inspector for the First Ward, is resting uncomfort- ably in the padded cell at the Baehr-Battell Memorial Hospital. The police 1'iot-squad, after bomb- ing the Russick Fraternity house for Homeless Boys at Tenth and Cherry Sts.. picked up several sus- pects who were hiding in the corner sniffing cokes. They gave their names as G. Ashby White, R. Dem- erest Owen and L. Dichard Dro- zeski. According to the incoherent re- port of Kay. he was left on the! street with two discolored optics, a bent lunch-hook and a dent in the cupola. He received another dent gat the hospital when he was brought in, a nurse giving him a second clout when he tried to make love to her. VVhen one of the suspects began to weep. a complaint was lodged by inmates of the city hostelry, who were forced to hang from the raft- ers to escape being drowned. SMOKE SCREEN GIVES BOYS AWAY Accused of the dastardly crime of smoking cigarettes in a car at Tenth and Sassafras Sts., Robert Schluiaff and Beau Spaghetti, two notorious town youths, were hailed before Judge Davis Monday and given a hearing. They declared they did not need one as their hear- ing was very good. Judge Davis proceeded immediately to destroy their hearing. The youths were nabbed by Hawkshaw Shaner, a non-de- script member of the police force. His watch-dog tactics bore fruit when he saw smoke issuing from the car in which the boys were situated at the time. He was almost overcome by the smoke-screen which the boys threw up in their efforts to evade capture. Recovering from his exposure to the vile perfume, VVatch-dog Shaner gave chase and caught the vouths rounding the corner of Tenth and Peach Sts. They will also be arraigned to- l . morrow on this charge as the corner at that point is supposed to be square. Stowaway Bird Expedition Re- counts Trip fHerewith is presented the first of a series of articles by Frank Weber, stowaway on Commander Cuckoo Bird's Antarctic polar expedition.J By Frank Weber fCopyrightedl Port of Kobault, A. C.-After a torturous fifteen hour battle with huge 20-cent cakes of ice floating about down here waiting for an ice- man's Tong war, we returned to this port with the South Pole in our possession. On our return jour- ney to civilization fErie, Pa.J we will either sell the Pole to the Mu- tual Telephone Company or to X Hugh Riley's Barber Shop and pos- lsibly to the Literary Digest for their straw voting. I It has been man's brute strength pitted against the forces of Nature that highlighted our successful venture down here in Nell's Acres. I made a foolish mistake when I brought along arctics for this trip. il should have purchased a pair of Antactics for the South Polc area. fT0lTl01'1'ONVZ morel . AEROPLANE. FALLS: SO DOES MABIE Racing through the night air at 300 miles an hour, an aeroplane piloted by Colby Mabie stalled in the air over Wattsburg, Pa., at three-thousand feet altitude and fell in a cabbage patch owned by the Honorable Percival Foo Nunes at six o'clock last night. When Pilot Mabie hit the ground with his iron rib he made a de- 'clevity of 15 feet into the hard iearth. He sustained no injuries iother than having two cabbages driven into his ears. He now has what the box-fighters call 'tcabbage fears or cauliHower adornmentsf' , The Honorable Nunes seemed ifurious over the catastrophe which visited him so unexpectedly. He claims that Mr. Mabie can have X two patches from his cabbage patch for the seat of his trousers after l he is through kicking him.
