Kahn, financier and art patron, was expected to explain In court this afternoon why he gave Madame Llndgren a check for $13,000, and then declined to pay her the sumof $260,000 which Lydia claims he promised her In a verbal contract. But when Mr. Kahn was called he was only asked his age, address and If he was happily married. Then court was adjourned until 10 A. M.

tomorrow. Julia Claussen, according to complaint filed by Lydia Llndgren, made an obnoxious remark about Lydia's relations with Kahn, and also said that the Swedish singer didn't know how to sing. The aspersion of her warbling ability so upset Madame Llndgren that when she attempted to tell the court about this slander, she wept and wept. Madame Llndgren dropped her suit against Julia Claussen at the behest of Otto Kahn, according to her and when, she agreed to drop it, Mr. Kahn sent hera check for $13,000 as a little gesture of appreciation, It is said, and then reneged on the $260,000 that was a little gesture of gracious knows what.

Fator 710 BACKED RAIDS ON CLUBS, SAYS LYONS AT QUIZ Valentine Aide Testifies He Got Cemetery Beat for Being Too Active The administration of Mayor Walker was described today as the most active administration of the past thirty-five years in its attempts to suppress gambling. The statement was made by Deputy Chief Inspector Michael Lyons at the public hearing of the Hofstadter legislative committee after other police officers had told of being transferred following their raids on gambling games In political clubhouses. Lyons, questioned by Assemblyman Irwin Steingut, Democratic member of the committee, said that although he had conducted many gambling raids neither politicians nor the administration had with him, and he had been promoted Instead of demoted. He amended this later to say he had met with obstructions in the cases of Sheriff Thomas Farley and City Cleric Michael J.

Cruise. It was former XcUng Captain Ezelcial E. Keller, once chief assistant" to Deputy Chief Inspector Lewis 'J. Valentine in" raiding gambling games in political culb-rwuses. who told of having been transfered after making the raids.

GOT CEMETERY BEAT Keller, big, husky and white-haired, told In simple words at the open hearing of the Hofstadter legislative committee how he had been removed by Commissioner Grover A. Whalen and assigned to "Woodlawn Cemetery." The personal files of Arnold Roth-stein also were introduced to show that gamblers mentioned by Keller as having been seen In political clubhouses were properly referred to as "common gamblers." and made their livings from gambling. These files were provided by the United States' District Attorney who had seized them because of Roth-stein's narcotic traffic. Rothstein, notorious Broadway gambler, was murdered in November, 1928, and his death, indirectly precipitated the long string of public scandals and investigations since that date. Keller was followed on the stand by First Deputy Police Commissioner Philip D.

Hoyt, who testified that Mayor. Walker had been opposed fcn. gambling in the city and had Joined? with Police Commissioner Warren in- urging its suppression. This, while not directly contradicting the testimony of Valentine yesterday, failed to conform with Valentine's statement that when Mr. Warren told him he wanted the raids On gamblers continued th Commissioner made no mention of Mayor Walker having a similar de Also ran Uncanny, Flying Don, Brandon Mint.
