Uproar

TIME brings all things

At Palm Beach, at the Club de Montmartre, Alexis Tcherkassky, Russian baritone, got up to sing. He had lent his voice to a benefit for Russian refugees, organized by the Baron von der Hoeven. As Baritone Tcherkassky opened his mouth, someone upset a bottle. Other diners with bottles, imitative, upset theirs. Some, lacking bottles, dropped plates. A red-faced individual at a corner table threw a coin to Tcherkassky; a hundred others with coins, catching the wit of this gesture, also hurled their loose change to him. He sang one song, began another. The uproar continued. But Tcherkassky finished his program.

Jamboree

In Brooklyn, 1,500 revelers danced till 3 A. M. at a jamboree given by the Oberdam Social Club (Irish), then: sought their hats, their coats. A long 4 line formed. Two revelers altercated for precedence, first with fists, then with knives; the rest, hatless, coatless, likewise fell to. Patrol wagons, ambulances, ended their jamboree. Two seriously wounded young men were borne off to a hospital.

New Domain

In Manhattan, Henry Heift, blackamoor, was arraigned for vagrancy. "What have you to say?" asked the judge. "I am the Chief Regent of the New Argentine Imperial," said Heift. "I am about to organize an expedition to travel into the solar system." He produced a copy of The Solar Path, prospectus written by himself. "With each copy of this I give away a bond redeemable for $20 in 1960. ... At a height of about 800 miles from here, there is a solid land, a new earth. There we will find riches and precious stones in abundance and we intend to claim that new domain."
