Arrests Bare Slug Racket Continued from Pa'se 1 made them only for use as key checks and amusement tokens. A third man arrested last night was described by Mr. Geoghan as a retailer of slugs. He was described as Max Feur of 329 Washington St.

Middlemen Profit Most Mr. Geoghan's new Rackets Bureau played leading role in bringing about the arrests and selzure of the disks and company books. Mr. Jacobs, who questioned the company officials and several employes, expressed the opinion that the principal cleanup was made by the middlemen with whom the company allegedly did business. The heaviest loser as result of the illicit use of slugs WAS the New York Telephone Company, whose losses in this city last year from this practice amounted to more than $315,000, it was said.

During the year more than 000 slugs were inserted into telephone coin boxes. Mr. Geoghan said he had been informed that the Interborough Rapid Transit Company loses about $35,000 a year and the BrooklynManhattan Transit Company about $18,000 year by of slugs. The city-owned Independent Subway System's loss is about equal to that of the B. M.

restaurants are also losing about $18,000 a year, according to company officials. No figures are available for the cigarette and other machine losses. Mr. Geoghan lanuched his investigation following conferences early this week with representatives of the companies victimized by the bogus coin practice. He said that a special agent for the B.

M. T. had first uncovered the leads desulting in yesterday's seizures and arrests. According to the prosecutor, the disks taken in the raid were stamped from colled strips of zinc and brass and sold to the middlemen for 40 cents a pound. He said that disks like those brought in yesterday were being sold at retail in hardware and stationery stores throughout the city at the rate of seven disks for nickel.

During his conferences this week, Mr. Geoghan said, he was advised by representatives of the telephone company that 53 percent of all nickel slugs, 46 percent of the quarter type percent of the dime size inserted in coin boxes were similar those seized yesterday, The District Attorney said that some time ago Saul Burstein, special agent for the B. M. came upon a lead that looked good to him and he followed it with the aid of a detective. 40 Cents a Pound They went to the Nova Machine Company, said they were racketeers and requested the prices of disks, at the same time stating that they would like to have a territory for their operations in this city.

According to Mr. Geoghan, they were told that thelocal area was monopolized, but when they sowed an interest in the Florida territory, they were informed that they could take that. In purchasing some of the disks they discovered that pound of them was quoted at 40 cents and included between 120 and 130 pieces. They took a box of both "nickels" and "dimes," paying 70 cents each. Mr.

Geoghan said. According to the detectives, the principal distribution centers for the disks in this city in the Times Square area and Harlem. Donald S. Sexton Donald S.

A Line on Liners By TOM GULLETTE- With every cabin occupied, and a total of 585 passengers in both classes, the Panama Pacific liner California sails today for California ports via Havana and the Panama Canal. Brooklynites on board will include Miss Kathleen Hurty and Miss Helen F. Tredick. Howard S. Cullman, commissioner and vice chairman of the Port of New York Authority, is aboard.

And from the Red Star line comes news that Miss Norma Leonard of Avenue is sailing for Europe today on the Pennland, bound for Southampton and Antwerp. Sailing on the Munson liner Munargo, bound for Nassau, Miami and Havana, are Miss A. Errico, Miss R. Errico, Miss Lillian Jackson of Hempstead, and Mr. and Mrs.

R. J. Pozdens of Long Island City. Sailing at midnight on the Hamburg-American liner Hansa, bound for Cherbourg, Southampton and Hamburg, are Mr. and Mrs.

G. K. Matthews of Woodside. Thirty years ago Louis R. Freeman, author of South American alticles and fiction, was injured and four natives were drowned when his dugout canoe was smashed on an exploration trip down the Valdivia River in southern Chile.

A previous attempt to navigate the river by dugout also ended in failure. Yesterday he sailed on the Grace liner Santa Inez, bound for Valparaiso, Chile. He expects to explore the lake area of southern Chile and gather materials for his work, but he added that one of the real aims of his trip is to "settle grudge against the Valdivia River." In all his years of exploring, he said, the Valdivia was Hamlet's Doctor Hints Insults By Small Dogs Irked Patient Washington, Feb. 8 (P) -The great controversy that has split Washington society -does Mrs. W.

Forbes Morgan's dog Hamlet bite or doesn't -led today to a clarion call to all brave men and true. Authorities suggested that volunteers step forward to place their hands in Hamlet's mouth and see what he does. Since Hamlet, Great Dane, weighs 180 pounds, the suggested experiment bears a certain resemblance to placing one's head in lion's mouth. Moreover, one faction in the Massachusetts Ave. society sector maintains that the dog acts like a lion.

They descended Thursday on the Corporation Counsel's office, pleading that he be muzzled or put in the Drukman Case Jury Completed Continued from Page clothing and other necessities," the court assured. "But I have to take my mother to the hospital tomorrow afternoon," protested Jur No. 12, Clarence E. Ernst, appraiser, of 824 Lincoln Place. "Also I have to go to my office tomorrow morning and arrange for some one to take my place.

My jury notice came last night, but I didn't get it until 8:30 this morning and didn't have time to make any arrangements." "I think we can make some arrangement for you to get out in the company of an officer," Justice Rogers said. "There are four officers assigned to the jury and we'll make it six if necessary." Party Plan Squashed "Can I go to charitable affair tomorrow night? I'm in charge of it," Alternate No. 7, Benjamin Altman, pet shop owner of 255 Eastern Parkway, asked plaintively. "I'm afraid we can't allow that," the court replied courteously but firmly, "I live with my brother who is an invalid," Mr. Koehler spoke up.

"I've got to go home and find some one to take care of him while I'm away." Justice Rogers repeated his apology for inconveniencing the business men and explained that he bad not ordered that they be locked up until after he had conferred with his confreres on the Supreme Court bench. "The court feels," he said, "that this is a very fair jury. It would be too bad to let anything occur which might disqualify one of you." "But let me assure you, gentlemen, that the court will do everything possible to ease your discomIf any of you want to go to fort. church Sunday, a group may attend services with the officers.

Morgan, wife of the secretary of the Democratic National Committee, won a powerful ally today in the person of Dr. D. E. Buckingham, veterinarian, by sppointment, to the White House dogs. "This dog." he said, "is my patient.

I've known him since he WaS puppy. All Great Danes are dignified, but this one is even more than that--he has a very special judicial nature." "Dogs talk to one another," he continued. "We know this, although we don't know what they say. Now here's a fine point -how do we know that one of those small dogs didn't say something insulting to the Great Dane?" amined 157 blue ribbon talesmen before they were finally able to find the 14 who satisfied both sides. Solovel Remains Silent Joseph A.

Solovel, also of defense counsel, remained mute during the' examination. He was unable to be present for the first three days and the first four jurors were picked during his absence. He represents Fred J. Hull, while the other two represent Meyer Luckman and his nephew, Harry Luckman. The taking of testimony in the highly-publicized trial will begin Monday after argument is heard on two motions for dismissal of the indictment made last Monday by the defense.

Motions Hit Indictment Both motions claim the indictment is illegal: one because it was returned during the pendency of the indictment found by the November Grand Jury charging the same crime, and the other because the selection of the extraordinary grand jury was allegedly conducted illegally. After the jury was completed, Prosecutor Todd asked that it be noted for the record that Mr. Solovel constantly conferred with the other defense counsel during the past two days while the last ten jurors were picked. "I did not participate. I did not ask any questions.

I took no part in the selection of a single juror," Mr. Solovei retorted hotly. Acted Casually, He Says "Didn't you confer about the qualifications of various talesmen?" Justice Rogers asked. "Only in casual way," Mr. Solovel explained.

"Well," the court commented, also for the record, "I noticed that you three defense, counsel had your heads together whenever it came time to decide on peremptory challenge. Of course have no way of knowing what was being said." Mr. Solovel has contended that it was Illegal to start the picking of the jury while he was not present and his client, Hull, was not represented. Juror No. 12, Mr.

Ernst, was accepted after he had said he was a "district captain in the 18th District" and also very intimate with many members of the police department, the latter partly due to the fact that he was an expert on guns and coach of the Crescent Athletic-Hamilton Club pistol team. complete list of jurors and alternates, their occupations and addresses, follows: Foreman, Joseph W.

21st Malia close (supp. mails maths Response Is Quick In Scouts' Drive For Maintenance Model of New Mess Hall Is Shown at Luncheon of Campaign Committee Contributions totaling $1,000 were reported by William J. Wason chairman of the special gifts committee in Brooklyn's 1936 Boy Scout maintenance fund campaign at a meeting in the Brooklyn Club, 131 Remsen yesterday. "The fact that this sum was immediately contributed in the first few days of the drive indicates that we'll not have much trouble reaching our special gifts quota of 000," said Mr. Wason.

The entire budget for the Boy Scout program in Brooklyn during the year has been set at $40,000. Exhibited at the luncheon meeting today was a scale model of the new mess hall structure, which is to be built at Brooklyn's camp in the Ten Mile River camp tract in Sullivan County. Approximately half of the special gifts quota will be utilized for the building of this new dining hall, which will accommodate 300 boys at one sitting. The growth of scouting in Brooklyn necessitates this addition to the camp facilities. It is estimated that the new mess hall, work on which will be started in the Spring, will cost at least $5,000.

Kitchen equipment, tables, benches and other necessary items will cost another $1,000, Mr. Wason said. Attending the meeting were Judge William D. Niper, Albert Hutton, Alfred H. Roth, Albert Firmin, Leo G.

we rather regretted that we weren't going with him. When syro-pilots were first installed on ships, some imaginative mariner looked at one and gave it the name of "Metal Mike." The name stuck and the automatic steering apparatus is now known by that name on thousands of ships. What might be called sister to "Metal Mike" will be found on the new Cunard White Star liner Queen Mary when she comes over this June. The apparatus is known as "Mechanical Molly" and instead of being placed on the exclusively masculine bridge, it placed down in the kitchens that correspond to woman's domain. This "Mechanical Molly" is nothing more than a dishwasher, but the beauty of it is that several thousand dishes may be placed on moving belt at one side and An hour later they will all be washed rinsed, polished and sterilised, and not one of them broken, Steamship lines might Increase their bookings if they would make the same offers recently announced by the Algerian and Tunisian Railways.

According to Thomas Cook Sons, Wagons-Lits, the railroad now offers reduced rates to honeymoon couples traveling between Algiers and Ghardimaou. The new rates are quite successful and probably would be even more successful in this country, although some special ruling might have to be made for movie stars and others who probably would make such trip every few weeks.
