I "Some people don't fivc a damn

Zapp commented.
"Is it such a capoi a for a boy to
tea painter?" Birsky nsked.
"Secminfdy Mas Mniknfer don't
think so," Zapp replied. "Maybe ho
wuld enjoy it to see his son break
lij neck from a ladder, Birsky." '
"What are you talking nonsense
break his neck from a ladder?" Birsky i
exclaimed.
"A scaffold is just as dangerous," I
Zapp went or. -'Yesterday I am see-1

even though one of them was nn

cost me 10 cents for some mathematic

the same as foi a painter, an aviator I
don't linger long enough to run up j

,"You got the wrong idea, Zapp,"
Birsky said. "Maikafer's boy would
te not n house painter but a picture
painter."
'A pictuie painter!" Zapp cried.
"And I thought Max Maikafer was a
business man. Why don't he learn the
boy a trndc where he could make real
bij money, like a buttonhole maker or
a poet?"
"That only goes to show what you

"Sure, I know," Zapp declared, "but
this here Riley was an old established
poet when Hurt, Schnfincr & Marx
and Kuh, Nathan & Fischer was now

is a bigger opening for a poet than
there is for a picture painter. Take
the canned soup business, the bieak

road companies all them concerns

they already pay them a good yearly

got to work piecework, and what for
a wages could a pieceworker on pic
tures make when with my own eyes
I see it a bill from a wholesaler in

buys 1 (i-12 do?., assorted oil paint
ings in small sizes for $38.7ii a dozen,
including shndow boxes and frames,
terms ten off sixty days, ninety days
net. Tell me about picture painters!"
"Say, there is a popular price line
of pictures and then again theie is
high-grade pictures," Birsky said.
"Even so," Zapp rejoined. "You
must got to ndmit that a concern like
B. Altmnn & Co. carries a high-grade
lino of goods, and when B. Altman
died the stock was good, up-to-the-minute
stuff in every department ex

Young nnd Keller were probibl) the
only men who wcro in the leather shop
oil l.'th street tho da) McNlehol went
there, March 30, when he disappeared
forever. It ls bullcved possible that
Young saw what occurred there ihst day.
It ls as a witness of muider that this
mlsklnir workman Is sought. A more
sinister belief Is In the minds of soma
of the detectives working on the case,
that Young himself ma) hae been mur
dered A truckman, who hauled the trunk
containing McXIchol's bod), is also be
ing souglit All express companies are
aiding in finding this man Expressmen
In all paits of the city are being asked
this question: "Did )ou cart a trunk

old, and Ihed at 311'J Frankford avenue.
Is that McNlehol Is alive today ; that the
bod) found In the cellar of his old kiun

Of this Identitlcutlon, however, the rel

though the bod) was badl) decomposed.

Important clues to be found In the cellar
of the dismantled and long-unoccupied

police started new operations there to

which the trunk was buried and the earth

that might prove of value as evidence

cried. "And 1 thought Max Mniknfer
out to the Mctiopolitan Museum of 1
Art for practically nothing."
Birsky shrugged his shoulders.
"Say, what is the use arguing with
nn ignernmmu.s like you, Zapp," he
said. "Don't you know that them pic
tures which B. Altman loft to the
Mctiopolitan Museum wasn't taken
out of stock at all ? They were private
pictures which he collected."
"So he collected them?" Zapp com
mented. "Well, that's the way it is
with them i ich fellers. A big con
cern like B. Altman gets the credit
for giving them pictuies to the Metro
politan Museum, y'understnnd, where
as the people ho collected them from,
nobody never hears about at all. It's
the same w.iy with them chaiitable
roshoyim which is running all them
orphan asylums nnd homes. They
bother the life out of you you should
give 'em for ton or fifteen dollais to j
their asylums, and when you come to '
look it up in the annual leport so
that you can prove to a customer that
you nhendy paid out more than you
can nlTord to chai ity, y'understnnd, '
all you sec is: 'Collected tlnough
Felix Geigcrmann $102.50,' and the
customer sticks you another ten dollars
for a fice soup society before he woul 1
buy from you another dollar's worth '
goods."
"So that's the idea you got when I
tell you that B. Altman collected the
pictuies and give 'em to the Metro

An impcrtunt witness In tho ease is W
Hoiace Hepburn. Jr. Ho is tho attorney
for Mrs Jennings, whose husband, the
late Michael Jennings, was a coal dealer,
and he Is also attorney for the young
widow of the murdeied man, Mrs Marie
Jernlnss McXlchol
He was Interested in locating McNlehol
after his disappearance In order to obtain
his signature to property deeds uffectlng
the widow and Interviewed Keller several
times In tho 20 months the man had been
missing but could get no help from him
In his search
He said today that McXlchol and John
A Wude. associated with tho young man
In his leather business, visited his ofllce
in February. 1911, one month before Mc
Xlchol disappeared. They were accom
panied by Keller McXlchol wanted to
plac'o a tecond mortgage on the Front
sheet and Catharine street properties
Mr Hepburn found that J9000 had been
sunk In the leather business, advanced
b) McXlchol and Wade, and that the
company faced bankruptcy He there
fore lefused to assist In getting more
money on the mortgages
The lawyer said Keller tho wed dissatis
faction with the refusal and said more
capital had to be put Into the business
The properties In which McXlchol had a
third Interest were sold at a Sheriff's
sale on July J, 1911. Mrs, Wade had pro
duced a judgment note against the mlsti
Ing man. The proceeds of the sale were
created into an estate for the widow,
wl was tn great need of money, as she

was a business man."
"Do you think the people which B.
Altman collected them pictures from
gave them to him for nothing?"
"Why not?" Zapp said. 'Last week,
Birsky, your wife comes round to my
wife while I nm downtown nnd says
she is collecting for nn immigrants'
homo old clothing, y'understnnd, and
my wife gives away on me two suits
nnd an overcoat which I wouldn't be
ashamed to wear getting nn accom
modation nt a bank, so bekovet they
looked."
"There's collecting and collecting."
Birsky explained. "When I say B.
Altman collected pictures, I mean he
bought them nnd paid his good money
for them."
"And the people which he collects
from makes a profit on the transac
tion?" Zapp asked.
"Makes a pi edit!" Birsky said. "I
thou Id say they do."
"Then that is the first time I hear
such a thing," Zapp cried. "Because
when some one tells me down nt the
stoi e that there is a collector outside
wants to see me, it don't make no dif
feience if the collector is collecting
for a bank, a hospital, the cloth
sponger, a home or the landlord, I
give my bookkeeper instructions she
should say I just went over to
Newark."
"Well, pictures is different, " Birsky
continued. "A feller which collects
like B. Altman sometimes pays enor
mous prices. Take for example Mr.
t)tetid a child and had only a small In
come of hei own.
Keller, shoitlj nftoi this, went to Mi

Cleveland Manufacturers, En

CLEVELAXD, O, Dec IS -So many
hundteds of women machinists and me- ,
chanics havo been developed in this and
' oilier American industrial centres since
I the European war boomed business and ,
cut off Immigration that the American
woman's invasion uf the mechanical
trades threatens to vie with the invasion
of the same Held by women In Europe
Thousands of women have been em
ployed for yearn on light mechanical
tasks In this, countr), but skilled women )
mechanics manipulating giant steel lathes, ;
punches, drills, trimming presses and
other heavy machinery is believed to be
an Industiial innovation in Americu
'this, at least. Is true in Cleveland, .
which, with other cities, is riding the
crest of tho prosperity wave started b)
hue war orders from the Allies
Due to the labor shortage here, where
3000 skilled mechanics are needed, and to
the decrease In Immigration, K. E. Adams
declared he was employing- us fust us he
could find them women constitutionally
fitted to operate machines, and that other
employers were doing the same. At drill

Adams' company now employs ISO women.
They are running machines formerly

1 Adams said. I
&
Widcncr Selig, the Philadelphia mil
lionaire, nnd he is paying for n picture
of n mill one half million dollars."
"What kind of n mill?" Zapp asked.
"Whnt's the difference what kind of
n mill?" Birsky said. "I believe it
was a flour mill."
"A flour mill he pays half a million
for its picture!" Zapp said. "Why
for n quarter of the money plenty pco
pic would have been glad to sell him
a rolling mill, nnd throw in a dozen
pictures free."
"And yet you sny Max Mnlhnfer
should make from his boy n button
hole mnkcr," Birsky continued. "Tnke
that picture painter which turned out
the mill, y'understnnd, nnd if he gets
only one order when he's n new be
ginner, understand me, business could
bo bnil with him for the rest of his
life."
"You mav be light, Birsky," Zapp
said, "but I don't believe a picture
painter gets nnywheres near the re
tail price of his goods, because the
profit to the retailer must got to be
enormous, otherwise he couldn't live
at nil. A retailer which hnndlcs them
mill pictures runs nn awful risk,
Birsky. It's the same like he would
be carying a line of stenm yachts. If
he's only got two on hand he's over
stocked bad already."
"Sure, I know," Birsky said, "hut
such n retailer also stocks a line of
medium-priced pictures, too. For every
mill picture he sells, I bet ycr he gets
lid of a dozen Horse Shows odor
Angcluscs."
"Of course, if the feller enrrics
Angcluscs as a side line, thnt's some
thing else again, Birsky," Zapp said.
"My wife gives away on me two

"There's big money in player-pianos,
Birsky, because while in former times
people wouldn't tnke n piano as a gift
on account of giving their children
music lessons to get the use out of it,
nowndays they could pay a large price
for a player-piano and send their
gii Is to business college, nnd still save
money on it. Consequently the de
mand for plnycr-pianos is enormous,
particularly as here just lately they've
got 'em working by electricity which
could run for ten cents the kilowntt
hour some of the heaviest things that
I'adeiewski gets off at five thousand

Birsky shrugged his shoulders
again.
'What you understand from art,
Zapp!" he exclaimed. "A Schwarzer
from the Cannibal Islands which don't
even wear athletic underwear knows
more about fur overcoats than you do
of pictures, Zapp."
"Listen, Birsky," Zapp retorted,
"if them millionaires which is buying
these here high-priced pictures knows
ns much nbout their art investments
ns the public does about fur overcoats,
you could take it from me, Birsky,
when them millionaires' heirs comes
to settle up the estate, Birsky, they'll
find that instend of a five hundred
thousand dollar Mill, the old man got
stuck with a hunched dollar sweat
shop. When you come to compare
pictures with fur overcoats, Birsky,

life, because while it's an old saying
nnd a true one that a cat comes to
life nino times, Birsky, nobody but a
fur overcoat mnnufneturer knows
whether the cat is going to come to
life as Persian lamb, Siberian mink,
Hudson Bay seal, beaver, broad tail, nu
tria, ermine, skunk or snble. So if I
would be a millionaire, Birsky, instead
of oil-painted pictures I would go to
work and collect railroads and elec
tric light plants nnd traction com
panies, because while it's true that
no millionaire ever got indicted on
account of buying up a lot of com
peting oil paintings or making agree
ments with the owners of competing
oil paintings to keep up the price and
limit the output, nt the same time,
Birsky, on n $500,000 oil painting no
millionaire could float a ?1,000,000 is
sue of first refunding 5 per cent, gold
bonds of 1085, underlying $1,000,000
of first mortgage -1 per cent, bonds
mnturing in 197G, which is a first
mortgage only on the back door of the
mill, and on the rest of the mill is
subject to nn issuo of $8,500,000 gen
wine, all wool, first mortgage 3 1-2
per cent, bonds maturing January 1,
101C. Such things you could only do
with a railroad, and believe me, Bir
sky, if you got indictments hanging
over your head for the rest of your
lifetime, there's more money in col
lecting railronds than in collecting oil
pnintcd pictures, nnd don't you forgot
it."
