Physician's Attorney Declares
Allegations Made by Norman
Graham Are False
SUIT FOR $10,000 STARTED
Denial that his client had assaulted
Gorman F. C. Graham at the Hamilton
Court apartments on the night of .Ttily 0
was made today by Attorney Martin
Bergen, representing Dr. John C. Da
Costa, Jr., nt the lattcr's residence,
3320 Pine street.
The Dr. John C. Da Cota. against
whom charges have been preferred, is
not to be confused with Dr. John Chal
mers Da Costa, 20." Walnut street,
professor of surgery at Jefferson Medi
cal College.
Doctor Da Costa could not be seen
at his home this morning, but instructed
his attorney today that he denied all
of the charges against him.
Suit for $10,000 for damages was
brought into court yesterday by Mr.
Graham and Judge Monaghan issued
a capias for the arrest of the doctor
and fixed the bail nt WOO.
"My client wishes me to say that be
denies the allegations of Mr. Graham
nnd claims that they are false." said
Mr. Bergen when interviewed today .
Ones Not Know Details
"But how can 5 on explain the fact
that Mr. Graham has brought suit
against Doctor Da Costa if there is no
truth to his charges?" he was asked.
"I am not acquainted with the par
ticulars of the suit and can only re
iterate what I said before. It is ex
tremely regrettable that n man of
Doctor Da Costa's position should be
dragged before the public in an nffair
like this," Mr. Bergen replied.
' According to the nfSl:i it filed b.
William A. Gray . 1 otinsel fur Mr.
Graham, the doctor went to the apait-
jnent occupied by Mr. Graham on the,
light of July I) in an intoxicated eon--dltion
and insisted upon being admitted.
Graham and his wife had retired for the !
night. !
When the doctor entered the apart -lncnt
he was accompanied b a t.iionb ,
chauffeur, continues the affidavit, nnd '
carried a bottle of whi-K) in one hand. !
lie drank from it and insisted that the,
chauffeur drink also, despite the pto
tests of the plaintiff.
In the affidavit Mr. Graham declares
.that both lie and his wife were in a
nervous condition at the time nnd re
quested the doctor to leao, which he
refused to do. At this Mr Graham
'went to the telephone and called up
Mrs. Da Cotn in order to acquaint
Jier of the actions of her husband and
arrange to have him go to his home.
, Hit Him, Is Charge
Mr. Graham declares that the doe-
tor became angry at this, hit him uud
used abusive language toward his wife.
The plaintiff says that lie received sev -'cral
blows about the face. The police
were called from the Thirty -second
street nnd Woodland n,vcnue station and
removed Doctor Da Costa by force.
1 Doctor Da Costa had known the
plaintiff for some time, it was asserted,
and had treated him in a professional
capacity. Mr. Graham could not he
located this morning at his npartment.
PET EMBROILS NEIGHBORS
Magistrate Unable to Decide Dis
puted Ownership of Cat
Ownership of a foui -months-old cat,

ineighbors, puzzled a magistrate and in
jected entertainment into the bearings at
jthc Nineteenth and Oxford stieets po
'llce station todnr.
f "Tige," the feline focus of this med
'ley, purred contentedly from the magis
trate's desk during the hearing.
Mrs. Leonora Cressman, 11141 North
Judson street, claimed the cat, which
she said had been her pet fiom birth,
and was further endeared to her by
Its aptitude for tricks and uniusing
actions.
"Tige" wandered away several das
ago, Mrs, Cressman said, leaving her to
mourn, until she learned that Uenjuinin
M. Wlnokin, 1:220 Norris stieet, had
superseded her In the affections of her
former favorite.
Demand for "TigeV return being
refused, Mrs. Cressman obtained a war
rant. Winokin asserted ownership, say
ing he bought the kitten from n sin.ill
boy, name unmcutioncd, for u dime.
Magistrate Grelis strove to adjust the
case amicably, even asking "Tige" to
express opinion in the matter of owner
ship. His good offices failed and Wino
kin was held under $400 bail for fur
ther hearing Saturday, retaining pos
session of "Tige" meanwhile.

Water backing from n choked sewer
created nn artificial lake early today in
the depression between Wissnhlokon hill
nnd Walnut lane on Mnln street, Man

the basements of nearby mills.
When hundreds of mill woikers
reached that point on their way to
work this morning they were confronted
by eighteen inches of wntcr, filling the
street nnd flowing over on the bide
walks. Hastily laid planks made nar
row runways on the building line of

The wate- poured into the basement
of the mill of P.lchard L Hey on Main

cariied piles of raw materials and fin
ished goods to the upper floors. The
basements of Dernloy's mill and Piatt's
mill also were invaded by the water.
Trolley (iirs were able to run to the

waited for the riders on the north side
of the flooded niea. The men nnd
women passengers had to pick their way
carefully over the wooden planks until
they leached the extra cars.

ASK SCHOOL BOARD
TO CLOSE CARNIVAL
Complaints Made Against Boy
Scout Benefit Show on
South High Grounds
Explanation of "the presence of a
carnival company on the grounds of the
South Philadelphia High School were
made today by members of the Hoaid of
I'.diication.
Members in the city today denied
any knowledge of complaints or dis
turbance resulting from their allowing
the carnival company to occupy the
grounds.
Several requests to open the grounds
of the SI, 000, 000 school this summer
as n recreation center for the children
of the neighborhood were denied by the
board on the plea that too many win
dows were broken and other damage
done by thoughtless children.
Hut wheu Urwin II. Ambler, teacher
at the Calhoun School, nud scoutmaster
of Troop lfiO, Hoy Scouts of America,
asked permission for tho carnival to
bo set tip there as a I5oy Scout benefit,
his request was granted. The carnival
has been running for n week, nnd resi
dents of the neighborhood are objecting
seriously to its continuance. They
claim it is u detriment to the community
with its, "refined games of chance,
ferris itfieel, shooting galleries nnd
similar objects."
"The board, when it received the
request from Mr. Ambler," said Judge
Dimncr Heebcr, "turned the matter
over to the superintendent. I under
stood thnt the permission wns granted.
Wo were nsstircd that the carnivnl
company wns not profit seeking, that
all of the proceeds were to go to Am
bler's troop of Doy Scouts, If there
are nny complnints of gambling or bois
terousness they should be made to Ed
ward Merchant, nssistant secretary of
the Hoard of Education, nnd the mat
ter will be righted.
"The board objected to the use of the
grounds ns a recreation center because
of complaints of neighbors last summer.
I, personally, did not want to stnnd
responsible for law suits that might re
sult from persons or property being
damaged because of the grounds being
used for ball and other games."
Scoutmaster Ambler and his assist
ant, Louis Weil, wereout of the city
with their troop today. At Boy Scout
headquarters all knowledge of the 'car
nival was denied.
"It Is possible," said the director,
"that Scoutmaster Ambler was backing,
this carnivnl to raise money for his
troop's encampment. It is permissible
for our troops to do this, though we
do not encourage it. Our,intontlons arc
r
owp way. nut, wnere the boys ure
noor and cannot afford to use their
earnings for camping, the troop as a
whole sometimes backs or puts on an
entertainment to rnlse funds. Wei had
'not heard of this carnival until we heard
complaints of it today."
Dr. Oliver P. Cornman, who is act
ing superintepdent during the absence
of Dr. J. P. Garber, said he had sup
posed the carnival was a benefit affair
and thoroughly respectuble. Any com
plaints, he said, would be looked into.

CITY IS WILLING TO AID
Co-operation of the police authorities
here and elsewhere in the eastern dis
trict of Pennsylvania will, it is said, be
asked for by United States District At
torney Frnncis Fisher Knne in carry
ing out tho orders issued bv the De
partment of Justice nt Washington to
arrest nil sellers nnd makers of 2.75
per cent beer.
it is n tremendous tnsk thnt devolves
upon government ngents in this city to
apprehend nnd prosecute all brewers nnd
-..,'U.o.el(,cr.s. wno, it Is contended, vio
late the nrnviut., i. .
enactment by making and Nclllinr Z,
beer. S ' Cl""R nur
Mlthniit the co-operation of the po
lice authorities the local government offi
cials would be unable to make a huge
number or arrests. With police help It
is expected there will be little difficulty
n rounding up the beer sellers anil
lodging information against them, to
which they will have to plead.
Judgo's, Comment Significant
Significance attaches to the terse com
ment mnde by Judge Dickinson in hW
decision in the "beer test" case in
view of the prompt action of the De
partment of Justice in Washington in
ordering the arrest nud prosecution of
all sellers of beer. Judge Dickinson
sold :
"Speaking for both its member
(Judge Thompson is meant) this court
would willingly render all the aid within
its power to compel its observance nnd
to save the people from the scandal of
being obliged to witness nttempts being
made to experiment with the criminal
law In the effort to find out how far Its
violators could go before inviting pun
ishment. "The people should nlo be saved, if
possible, from the scnudnl of witness
ing violations of law by a large num
ber of poisons seeking to be justified by
the plea that there is n doubt of the
criminality of what is being done,
whether the doubt is renl or a mere pre
tense." While the Department of Jintice or
der is unqualified in its wording, it H
believed to be tho plan of the federal
officials in this city not to male whole- -sale
arrests of beer sellers, but to seize
brewers making nnd selling the product
and enough saloon men who dispense it
over their bars to nvve the others into
closing.
The mnchinery of the courts is
cumbersome, and the drawing of com
plaints takes time, though each com
plaint will he substantially like the in
formations laid by District Attorney
Kane against the Borgner & Engel
Brewing Company iu the first test case
brought in this district.
May Impanel Jury
The arrest and prosecution of fifty
or 100 brewers nnd snloonmen will, it
is believed by the federal authorities,
put the fear of the law into the hearts
of sellers of the tabooed beverage.
Coincident with the plans under way
for apprehension and prosecution of
offenders, consideration is being given
to the idea of asking the consent of
Federal Judge Dickinson to the sum
moning of a special panel of petit
jurors, from which n jury could bo
drawn for the trial of the Bergner &
Engel test case.
Such procedure could not be under
taken without the consent of the cotirt.
It would tnke some time to set in mo
tion the legal procedure, but it wns said
today at the Federal Building the trial
could undoubtedly be arranged, were tho
court to give its sanction to such a pro
ceeding, before August 15.
Ordinarily the case, even if advanced
upon the calendar, would not be reached
until late in September. The appeals
from the Xew York and Baltimore beer
test cases now awaiting nctlon of the
I nitcd Stated Supreme Court could not
be heard until October, nnd a decision
might not be handed down until a
month Inter.
When the demurrers in the Philadel
phia beer test case were argued, a week
ago today, Assistant Attorney General
Frierson, who appeared for the De
partment of Justice nud who has charge
of the enforcement of the liquor law,
told Judge Dickinson he wanted the
court to rule upon the issue, ns his de
cision would be the prevailing law
throughout the eastern district of Penn
sylvania, pending a decision In tho
matter by the I'nited Stntes Supreme
Court. The prevailing law in the west
ern district of Pennsylvania was estab
lished by the decision of Federal Judge
W. II. S. Thomson, of Pittsburgh, who
overruled the demurrers in the beer
test case brought by the government
against the Pittsburgh Browing Com
pany, nnd who held the nineteen de
fendants for trial.
