They are Leo A. Scher, Max Sappersteln, George P. Stewart and Abraham L. Levin. It was learned today that Mr.

Todd and the Jury have begun an investigation of Brooklyn's powerful flour trucking racket as they continue efforts to trace the source of the $100,000 bribe In the Drukman case. Shapiro Ignores Quia The names of Louis (Lepke) Buckhouse and Jacob (Gurrah) Shapiro, two of Brownsville's most notorious racketeers whose gross income Mr. Dewey once estimated at $5,000,000 a year, have been mentioned frequently In connection with the flour trucking racket. Shapiro was supposed to appear at the District Attorney's office yesterday for questioning by Assistant District Attorney Hyman Barshay but failed to show up. Meanwhile, the Todd Investigators have been Interrogating a number of truck drivers as well as owners of trucking firms In an endeavor to find out who actually occupying the racket throne.

Model Husband Accused by Wife After 40 years of married life, durine most of which he was a "model" husband, John M. Hpllaren, a real estate dealer, became violently enamored of a young married woman, according to charges made before Justice George H. Fur-man in matrimonial branch of Supreme court.

His accuser is his wife, Mrs. Katherine Hollaren of 447 Lenox Road, to whom he was married Jan. 2, 1896. They have four children and seven grandchildren. Hollaren, the wife alleges, suddenly ended his career as model husband In Miami last Winter.

There he met the young married woman. The wife said she found feminine undergarments In her husband's pockets and in his high-priced motorcar. She also accused him of being the stranger's constant companion at the races, night hot spots and the beaches. nrs husband denied the whole thing. He said his wife Imagined the story she told.

He countercharged that for 40 years she had been a "nagger." Justice Furman decided he should pay $35 a week alimony pending trial of her separation suit. Atlanta, Feb. 27 WV Gov. Eugene Talmadge In a written statement todav said the present situation In Georgia "was deliberately brought about by the New Deal to stop Talmadge from campaigning against Roosevelt In the United States." The Governor's statement came on the heels of a move by a State Be iator for a call for a self -convening Legislature to go Into the situation arising from the Governor's efforts to operate the State this year without an appropriations bill. Some members were discussing a move to seek Talmadge 's Impeachment.

They have gone to the length of backing up a suspended treasurer Talmadge said, "in taking over (20,000,000 worth of bonds out of the vaults of the State. Claims Illegality "They have gone to the length of having the United States mail take letters containing checks away from the legal Controller General and the legal State Treasurer of Georgia. "Their attorneys know that they are acting illegally. "The pressure and recent appointment of a member of the Federal Reserve Board from Atlanta is behind the whole works." (Ronald Ransom, formerly vice-president of the Pulton National Bank of Atlanta, was appointed to the Federal Reserve Board recently by President Roosevelt.) "Watch and get the names of the papers whose big editors are on the payroll of the New Deal. "This Invasion of State's rights can hold me in Georgia; but the New Deal Is going to be defeated this year." Meanwhile, the Governor and his aides were confronted with the problem of what to do for money to operate the State, following the refusal of most banks to honor State warrants until the courts decide the legality of the methods the Governor has used to operate without a legislative appropriations bill.

The superseding Indictment Is ex pected to be handed up by the grand jury late today. Jts details could not be learned beyond the fact that it will endeavor to narrow and limit the issues under which the defendants of the case are to be brought to trial. Charge FERA Violation The defendants are Hugo Teltel- baum and Harry Dorf, Brooklyn men, who owned a Manhattan trucking business, for which they obtained a contract on WPA projects last Fall. The indictment that is now to be displaced charged broadly that they had violated the FERA in that they had failed to pay their chauffeurs the rate of wage prescribed by WPA. Harold L.

Cowin, counsel for Teitlebaum, met the indictment with a demurrer in which he contends that FERA is unconstitutional In that, among other things, it delegated to the President various powers connected with the expenditure of the $4,800,000,000 which Congress did not Itself possess in the first instance. The demurrer was to be argued next Monday. Demurrer Voided The superseding indictment voids the demurrer to the Initial indict ment, as the latter is voided in the substitution of the new. Assistant United States Attorney General Joseph B. Keenan conferred here on the case Tuesday with Fed eral Attorney Leo J.

Hlckey and Assistant Federal Attorney James G. Scileppi. Mr. Hickey left early this afternoon for Washington where he will confer further on the case and also on other pending matters of the Brooklyn Federal Attorney's office. Governor May Supplant Moses Continued from Page 1 Chairman James A.

Farley, as a member of the New York State Bridge Authority gave rise to reports that he might supplant Moses. The fiery Republican park expert went beyond the usual campaign bounds in his attacks on the Governor two years ago, and for that reason some of Mr. Lehman's friends would like to see him dropped. President Since 1924 Moses has been president of the commission, which has control over all State parks and parkways in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, since its creation by the 1924 Legislature. He was appointed El Paso Electric ComDanv.

Lights and power were shut off at 3:53 a.m. without warn ing, leaving hospitals, homes, hotels, factories and streets in darkness. Radio stations, Including the po lice broadcasting system, went oft the air nd the street railway sys tem was tied up. An Immediate ap peal to the Governors of New Mex ico and Texas was sent out and a request for mediation was filed with the Department of Labor In Wash ington. Electric service was partly restored to El Paso later today.

An auxiliary steam plant, out of service for years, was put In order to supply power to hospitals and the downtown business district, but residential and manufacturing sections still were without service. Boilers Drained M. O. Smith, president of the company, said efforts to renew service were balked by the fact that steam engine boilers have been drained and small parts of the generating machinery had been removed or destroyed. Peaceful picketing to prevent non-union workers from opening the plants was started immediately.

The Immediate effects of the shutdown was felt first In hospitals. A baby girl was delivered by can dlellght at Providence Hospital at 5:15 a.m. At William Beaumont Hospital where Albert B. Fall, former Secre tary of the Interior, Is critically 111, MaJ. Thomas Hurley said the shut down came without preliminary warning.

'In all the half1 dozen hospitals nurses made their rounds throi i the early morning hours admin.s tering to patients by candlelight or flashlight. Gaslights were used in the halls of the Masonic Hospital. Seeks Records In WPA Fraud Continued from Page 1 said individuals had been placed on WPA payrolls with the help of Tarn many politicians. Meanwhile, Victor Rldder, local WPA administrator, announced to day that he would continue investl gating the situation revealed yesterday by Commissioner Blanshard. The Commissioner disclosed that two rings of fixers and forgers, one In Brooklyn and one in Manhattan, had obtained WPA Jobs for about 1,000 persons through forged or stolen referral cards sold to the Job less at $5 to $30 each.

Mr. Rldder said he would not pro ceed against the "small fry" who got the Jobs, but would seek the persons who sold them. He said some of the men who paid money to the ring did not obtain WPA work and were still on home relief, and therefore were not under his Jurisdiction. The Police Department and the WPA Bureau of Investigation are now seeking Anthony Bonglorno of 379 Menahan said by Mr. Blanshard to be the king pin of the ring operated In Brooklyn.

The federal Attorney's office has be fore It evidence that approximately auu persons nave been victimized by the Bonglorno ring. "We have scores of witnesses who have sworn they have paid Bonsrl' orno for their Jobs," the Commis sioner of Accounts declared. In most of the cases uncovered to date the unemployed who landed their Jobs with the WPA through buying the forged referral cards are laborers receiving about $60 montniy. "Our investigation thus far," Mr. Blanshard said, "has disclosed two rings of fixers and forgers who had either stolen or forged referral cards which gave WPA Jobs to persons who were not on the relief rolls and therefore not entitled to these Jobs.

The cards and slips were sold for sums ranging from $5 to $30. Names Brooklyn Ring Leader "The leader of the Brooklyn ring was Anthony Bongiorno of 379 Menahan who operated from cigar store at 168 Central Ave. Bon. giorno has been missing since this investigation has been started and a search for him has been In progress by the WPA Bureau of Investiga tion and the New York City police, Probably 500 victims paid money to Bongiorno or his assistants and most of them secured work with these forced referral cards." Mr. Blanshard emphasized that he intends to make a thorough inquiry to determine if any of the Jobs were obtained through political district clubs in the city.

Mr. Rldder was inclined to believe that the fraud was not linked with politics. With the Investigation of the Brooklyn ring virtually completed the Inquiry Is now centering in-Manhattan. Six persons attached to Mr. Blanshard 's office and four staff members on the WPA and the ERB are aiding the commissioner In the investigation.

Polite Bandits Park Car for Their Victim Two bandits, one armed, were sought by police today following a bold holdup, in which they took $230 from two employes of the TJddo and Taormina Corporation, an importing concern at 149 Seigel and drove off in an automobile owned by a son of one of the owners. When the bandits took the car they told Salvatore Uddo, who owned it, that he would find the car In 15 minutes at Broadway and Flushing Ave. Police found the car there within the time specified. Tax Conference Leaders to Meet Tonight Treasury to Borrow Added $800,000,000 Washington, Feb. 27 (ffV-With the Treasury preparing to borrow an additional $800,000,000 to meet bonus payment and other expenses, President Roosevelt today, summoned Congressional leaders and financial advisers to discuss taxes.

The conference tonight will deal with levies to finance the new farm subsidy program. Whether the President had In mind further taxation to help meet bonus cost remained undisclosed. The Treasury's March 15 financing Will aggregate $1,809,000,000. Of this, $1,009,000,000 will Involve payment or refunding of obligations already outstanding. Those Invited to confer with the President are Vice President Gar-mer, Speaker Byrns, Secretary Mor-genthau, Senator Barkley Senator Harrison chairman of the Senate Finance Committee; Representative Dough- ton N.

C), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee; Representative Bankhead of Alabama, the Democratic leader, and Herman Oliphant of the Treasury counsel. At his press conference, Speaker Byrns said tax legislation would be given "right of way" over other legislation.

Started In Store Deputy Fire Marshal George Don. ovan, after an Investigation, said the fire apparently started in the basement storeroom of Harry Rappaport, delicatessen dealer, who occupied one of two ground floor stores. It spread from there to the other store, that of the City Lamp Service.

Wire, tape and other materials kept there gave out the heavy smoke which billowed out In great clouds from the burning building for more than two hours. There were six apartments In the upper stories, but only two families were in the building at the time the fire broke out. All members of both families had escaped before the firemen arrived. Use Inhalaton Two police emergency squads, with lnhalators worked In the tern porary hospital to revive the firemen as they were brought in and all but those taken to the Jewish HoS' pital were revived and, after a brief rest, returned to duty. Two ambulance surgeons from the Jewish Hospital took turns in treating the fireman.

FlremSn Archer was treated for his cuts by Dr. Karl Plckard who came with the first ambulance. As the heavy smoke spread, police ordered the adjoining four-story building at 73 6th as well as a number of other buildings in the vicinity vacated. The burning building Is located above the Ber gen St. I.

R. T. station and not far lrom the B. M. T.

subway lines as well. Smoke presently began to seep into both subways, and firemen spread heavy canvas covers over the suoway ventilators to keep more smoke from getting in. Trolleys Halted The Flatbush 7th Ave. and Bergen St. trolley lines, which run along Flatbush Ave.

at that point were halted soon after the first fire men arrived and their hose lines were laid, and were detoured by way of Vanderbllt and Atlantic Aves. to down town Brooklyn. Normal serv ice was resumed by 12:25 p.m., when the fire was under control. Dr. Julius Zlckerman, dentist, who lived on the second floor, was at home with his wife and mother when the fire was discovered.

They and members of the other family then at home, who occupied an apartment on the floor above, and whose names were not obtained, got to safety before the arrival of the firemen. Deputy Fire Chief John J. Davin was in personal charge of the fire fighting and sent in a second alarm shortly after reaching the scene. Inspector Louis Rosenfeld was In charge of the police derail 2,000 a Week Gain Home relief rolls In the recent past have been Increasing at the rate of about 2,000 cases a week, despite improvements in the gerl-eral business situation and the reported decrease In the total number of relief cases for the entire country. In this respect New York Cltv is not 'alone, according to Edmund Borgia Butler of the Emergency Relief Bureau.

Inquiry In other large cities throughout the country has disclosed, he said, that they are In we same position. Partly as a result of the chaneed system of sharing relief costs, the city's share of the burden this year Is close to the record set In the early months of 1935. Last year the Fed. eral Government contributed half the combined cost of home and work relief, the- State a quarter and the city the remaining quarter. Since WPA was established the Federal Government has been confining Its contributions to work relief, leaving the home relief cost to be shared by the city and State.

Awarded $5,000 In Elevator Fall A Supreme Court Jury before Jus tice Burt Jay Humphrey held to day that the nervous condition of 20-year-old Mrs. Edith Gonsky Schneider of 370 Powell St. is not the result of hypnotism and awarded her $5,000 damages. The young woman was one of 15 passengers in an elevator which fell from the fourth floor to the basement In the Robert Gair Building, 1 Main on March 22, 1934.

She suffered no apparent Injury but developed a twitching of the left arm and a condition which doctors described as hysteria. During the trial Dr. L. Beverley Chaney, for the defense, said her symptoms "might have been brought about by hypnotism." William R. Hayes, defense counsel, called Dr.

George I. Swetlow, attorney for Mrs. Schneider, to the witness stand and asked him whether In his career as professor of medical law he had ever hypnotized law students. "Many of them," Dr, Swetlow replied. Mrs.

Schneider's father, Joseph Gonsky, was awarded $100. She has married since the accident. Ida Katz, another passenger in the same elevator accident, who was bruised, was awarded $28, mlttpp. Akuloff, it was stated, suf fered a fracture of the skull Feb. 18, when he fell while ice skating.

Olivecrona's presence here had aroused considerable speculation. Dr. Olivecrona's hasty departure by airplane from Stockholm gave rise to a widely circulated rumor that Josef Stalin, Soviet dictator, had been shot. Tils ws branded by a Moscow spokesman as "absolutely ridiculous." Russian officials acknowledged that Stalin's last public appearance was four days ago, but said he has had no engagements since. He did not attend the anniversary ceremony yesterday of the founding of the Georgian Republic, his native district, but spokesmen asserted it was not customary for him to be present at such functions.

Professor Olivecrona departed for Moscow at the reported request of Mme. Alexandra Kollontay, the Soviet ambassador, who herself left Stockholm by train. Scranton Police Hold Two Brooklyn Boys Scranton, Feb. 27 W) Robert Lansburg, 16, and Kenneth Colllngs, 17, both of Brooklyn, were taken into custody today. The youths, police believe, are fugitives from an industrial school at Freeville, N.Y, originally by Gov.

Alfred E. Smith and renamed in 1930 by Governor Roosevelt. The post carries with It member ship in the State Council of Parks and Moses is chairman of this body, elected by the heads of park com missions in a dozen parts of the State. Neither of Moses' State posts pays a salary. He draws a $13,500 salary as New York City Park Com' missioner, however, When asked by The Eagla today whether he contemplated renaming Moses, Governor Lehman said: "I really haven't even considered the matter.

It's pretty far off and i have la or 20 appointments to decide on before then." Senate Action Needed It was pointed out that unless the Governor makes the Moses appointment while the Senate is in session- Mi. Moses' post, provided he is reappointed, will be subject to Senate action when it reconvenes. In the Interval It will be la the nature of a temporary job. Appointments are often made during Senate recess and In many cases Senate confirmation Is certain. In this Instance, it was pointed out, a Democratic Senate might be unsympathetic to a Republican appointee.
