a 2 2 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1930. Meets Ward Aides in Barter Probe Confers Regarding Evidence Said to Involve Two Brooklyn Jurists Special Assistant Attorney General Marshall Snyder's investigation into charges of bought judgeships in Brooklyn this Er afternoon took him Manhattan for conference with aides of 'Attorney General Hamilton Ward at which "leads" are expected to be turned over to the Brooklyn prober. The purpose of the conference was cloaked with secrecy both in Snyder's office and at the offices of the Attorney General. Reports that have been current since the Ewald Grand Jury commenced its Bench bartering inquiry that important evidence has been uncovered bearing upon the nomination of a Brooklyn jurist to a high court, met with refusals by both Snyder and members of the Attorney General's staff to confirm or deny them. In addition to the supposed in the matter of a higher Jurist, the Attorney General's office is understood also to have come into possession of evidence bearing on the appointment of a Brooklyn Magistrate.

Both of these cases, it was reported, will be turned Snyto investigate. powers overs too to subpena witnesses and financial records in suspected offenses against the elective franchise. Other Developments Other developments in the judiciary probes today were: Supreme Court Justice Philip J. -McCook deferred decision on the motion of Special Prosecutor Hiram C. Todd to call a "blue ribbon" jury for the trial of the four principals in the EwaldHealy case on indictments charging office-buying.

Launching of an inquiry by Isidor J. Kresel, prosecutor of the Appellate Division inquiry, into charges of corruption against the vice squad and police court in vice cases. Opposed by Defense Counsel for the principals in the Ewald, scandal-former Magistrate George F. Ewald, Tammany District Boss Martin J. Healy and Thomas T.

Tommaney, politician-strenuously opposed the blue ribbon jury motion is "political atmosphere," while Todd cited the graft trials of former Borough President Maurice E. Connolly of Queens and former Superintendent of Banks Frank H. Warder as precedents. Justice McCook, in the course of argument, said he did not have the "slightest intention" of calling the trials before election unless counsel for the defendants insisted upon them being tried before that I. Nicholas Gordon, the date.

Frederick L. Hackenberg, and defendants, said that the middle of November, as suggested by Todd, was agreeable to them. Following the argument Todd went back before the Extraordinary Grand Jury investigating the elevation of General Sessions Judge Amedeo A. Bertini. Seven Witnesses Heard Seven witnesses, including three bank employes and three rather unexpected witnesses, appeared today before the Extraordinary EwaldHealy Grand Jury before it adjourned at 1 p.m.

made by Joseph Wolfman, bogus lawyer brought from Sing Sing to testify, to an underworld character described as "The Dove" and said to be the central figure in the vice squad "ring." "The Dove," it was learned, has been questioned and is said to have made a full statement of his activities. He will be recalled tomorrow, when, it is understood, he will be confronted by members of the vice squad he is alleged to have acted with and women who became his victims. Preyed on Women The role of "The Dove" is represented as that of procuring evidence for arrests by the vice squad. The arrested women then, according to statements made to Kresel, are bled for as much jewelry and money as they have by bondsmen and shyster lawyers, who promise them "fixes" in the police courts and "arrange" with the arresting officers for suppression of testimony to insure their, acquittals. "The represented as receiving $10 for every case turned the "ring," and is said to have amassed a small-sized fortune.

Wolfman, whose revelations are said to be the most sensational made to date in the Magistrates Courts inquiry, is expected to be recalled this He has declared that only five magistrates in his experience two of whom, including Ewald, have resignedwere "unapproachable." The Brooklyn inquiry into campaign charges that two Municipal Court purchased their Bench nominations struck a snag late yesterday in one of the cases, while in the other, it was learned, Snyder will issue subpenas for State Senator Philip M. Kleinfeld and Harold Aaron, Bay Ridge lawyers, to appear for questioning on Friday. Snyder yesterday quizzed four witnesses reported to have knowledge in connection with the recent charge of Abner C. Surpless, Republican nominee for District Attorney, that Assemblyman Maurice Z. Bungard failed of the nomination for Municipal Court Justice last year because he could not put up the necessary "contribution." Bungard has heatedly denied the insinuation and declared that Justice Murray Hearn received the nomination because he was the "better man." Three of the witnesses "passed the buck" for the Surpless allegations to the fourth, who told Snyder that he had not heard Bungard grumbling about his failure to be nominated.

as had been reported, but had been repeating a hearsay story, The matter on which Kleinfeld and Aaron will be called results from charges made by the Senator in speech before a -partisan organization last May to a heckler, that Aaron had bid $25,000 for a Democratic nomination to the Municipal Court bench, but had been turned down.

I. Their conviction was affirmed yesterday by the Court of Appeals Jersey Seeks Shipping Here In Lighter Suit State's Aim to Lure Trade From Waterfront in Brooklyn Is Revealed (Special by Staff Correspondent) Newark, N. Oct. 22 What New Jersey hopes to gain if it wins its long-drawn-out effort to split the unity of New York Harbor and is enabled to tack the cost of lighterage from the Jersey rail ends on goods going to and coming from Manhattan was clearly apparent today. It is nothing less than attraction of the majority of the freight steamship lines and big manufacturing interests now along the Brooklyn waterfront across the harbor to the Jersey cities fronting the Hudson.

This was made clear by Philip Guise, former New York City Department of Docks engineer and now city development engineer of Jersey City, who was cross-examined yesterday and who again took the stand as today's session before Attorney General Earl M. Speer began. Sees Jersey Enslaved Mr. Guise, a nervous, slender man with a short mustache, much given to sweeping gestures, was quizzed mainly by William H. Chandler of the New York Merchants Association and Theodore H.

Burgess of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. "Jersey has been enslaved too long to New York City" exclaimed Guise at one point. Assistant Corporation Counsel Victory of New York interrupted to ask in what way this slavery had been carried out. "We've been trying for years to secure a change in the lighterage system, which discriminates against New the witness replied. said.

"I'll have to look it "I can't say at the moment," a Guise "What other way?" he was asked. Mr. Guise enumerated a long list of steamship terminal improvements to be initiated along the Jersey shore. Under cross-examining he conceded the various communities Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, North Bergen--had actually appropriated little money toward these schemes, and had done practically no work on them; for instance, not a fraction of had been done by New York cheat at Jamaica Bay. The engineer then stated that the various development projects along the Jersey shore would spring into being overnight as soon as the "lighterage injustice" was righted.

"The best part of the freight lines in the harbor will then move over to Jersey, where railroad and airplane and steamship terminals will meet at one point," Mr. Guise. Mr. Chandler asked what would then, bappee: to side the of the deserted harbor- piers were they to be The engineer said that the gradual growth of the port would keep those piers from being empty. A second later he modified this and said that New Jersey, after a lighterage victory, would attract far more steamship lines than the slow growth of the port would account for.

Raymond J. Dempsey, superintendent of the Port of Newark, testifled that Newark was getting a return of about $200,000 a year from an investment of $15,000,000 in its port because of the handicaps by the rates now in effect. "Our return," he said, "is less than 2 percent and we think it should be 4 or 5 percent. New York gets a return of $40,000,000." Sees Brooklyn Most Affected It was recalled by Brooklyn representatives at the hearing today, including A. C.

Welsh, traffic manager of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, that more than 60 percent of the freight liners in the port now use Brooklyn piers and hence this section would lose most by a victory in New Jersey. Similarly in any migration of business from one side of the port to the other, Brooklyn would suffer most severely. Mr. Guise, with emphasis, said he believed the superliners like the Bremen and the Leviathan should dock in Hoboken. Asked why, he replied that Hoboken needed the rental money.

"Is that the only reason?" asked Mr. Chandler. "It's as good a reason as any!" returned the witness. The room rosked with laughter, which increased when Chandler made a sarcastic remark about the damage to the passengers' feelings who might be forced to stay overnight in Hoboken. Engineer on Stand Realizing that the engineer was being baited, John J.

Hickey, Special Deputy Attorney General for New Jersey, objected to leading the witness into pure speculation. "He hasn't indulged in anything else," agreed Chandler, to more laughter. After Guise, somewhat crestfallen, had left the stand, the battle of figures and guarded statements continued. Among the witnesses called was Francis Lee Stuart, consulting engineer employed in 1924 by the trunk line railroads to make a study of lighterage costs in the harbor. More Witnesses Go Before Martin Inquiry The Federal Grand Jury investigating the various commercial enterprises with which Judge George W.

Martin was connected heard seven witnesses when it resumed hearings in Brooklyn Federal Building today. One of the witnesses was once connected with the Foreign Petroleum Corporation, a concern under investigation. The panel adjourned until Friday after a session lasting about an hour. Special Assistant Federal Attorney Kenneth M. Spence, who is conducting the inquiry, declined to comment on the I progress being made.

Vause Partner Ends Evidence In Fraud Trial BoyleSucceeded onStand by Agent Who Tried to Trace 'Jerome' Joseph S. Boyle, chief Government witness in the income tax fraud trial of former County Court Judge W. Bernard Vause, before Federal Judge Inch, completed his testimony shortly after noon today. He had been constantly on the stand since the trial began last Wednesday. Boyle's efforts as a witness concluded with his identification of 95 checks for $1,561.01, drawn, he said, at the direction of Vause, to reimburse him for office expenses.

Boyle succeeded to the Vause law firm when Vause ascended to the bench in 1923. Pier Payments Traced missions." Told of "Jerome" Payments totaling $120,000 into the firm office by the United American Lines for services in connection with obtaining pier leases from the city are the foundation of the present prosecution, the Government contending that the money actually was paid to Vause and should have been included in his income tax returns for 1926. Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Baradel followed Boyle. He told of activities in investigating $65,000 which Boyle checked off in his 1926 returns as "agents" cont- At the initial hearing on the charges, which ended in a mistrial, it was brought that this $65,000 was disbursed- outs $35,000 to a "William Jerome," who was identified as Judge Vause's brother, George, and $30,000 to Judge Vause. Baradel testified today that he visited Vause in chambers and expressed his skepticism about "William Jerome" being 8 bona-fide individual.

Vause, he said, said Jerome was an individual then in Canada, and immediately cut the interview short with the declaration that he had forthwith to go upon the bench. Rauh Denies Aid To Dietz in Loot of Mechanics Bank Testifies He Was Asked to Lend Use of Name Be- cause of Gambling Rule Dr. Maximillian T. Rauh of 107-17 86th Richmond Hill, charged with aiding in looting the old Mechanics Bank, Broadway Branch, of $298,000, took the stand today in his own defense before Federal Judge Moscowitz and a jury. Louis Dietz, former assistant manager of the branch, who has pleaded guilty to the theft and been a witness against Rauh, is to be sentenced after the trial.

Rauh denied today Dietz's testimony that he had proposed the system whereby bank's books were juggled and the thefts concealed, while the stolen money was lost in stock market transactions. He said that in 1925, Dietz proposed that the doctor's account in the bank be employed in obtaining bank loans that would be used in stock transactions, that Dietz's brother-in-law was to supply collateral for the loans and that he. Rauh, would receive one-third of any profits for this use of his account. Fight Tickets Good At Merchants' Ball Two hundred fight fans who bought tickets for a series of boxing bouts at the 27th Division Train Armory last night and didn't see any fights are perfectly welcome to exchange their fight pasteboards for tickets to a ball at the Hotel Pennsylvania, Harry Weiss, president of the Greenpoint Merchants Association, declared today. It seems that the association sold $2, $3 and $4 fight tickets for a show scheduled for last night at the armory, Heyward St.

and Marcy then cancelled the show after a hitch over the rental of the armory and decided to have a ball at the Pennsylvania on Dec. 7. Navy Disavows Leak On Aircraft Carrier Washington, Oct. 22 There was no leak regarding the estimate put in by the Brooklyn Navy Yard for building the new aircraft carrier 4, it was said today by Secretary Adams in replying to a letter from Representative Celler of Brooklyn which Celler criticized the action of the Navy. "It is true." said Mr.

Adams, "that in February, 1929, the Navy asked the Brooklyn yard for an estimate on the aircraft carrier, contract for which recently was awarded to the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company. But on an equal basis the bid of the Newport News company was not $20,000 but $200,000 less. Dahl Makes Pro-Unification Men 'L' Aides Places Three on Directorate of Manhattan Elevated Railway G. M. Dahl today has added to his transit powers the last major element in the city's rapid transit systems by the elevation of three of his associates in the unification movement to the directorate of the Manhattan Elevated Railway.

This, together with what is regarded as practical assurances that the Manhattan directorate at its annual meeting on Nov. 12, will pass a prounification resolution similar to that adopted by the Interborough board in September, is looked upon as placing the whole I. R. T. system unitedly with Dahl in his dickering with the city and clearing another hurdle from the of the path of private the lines promerger with the building.

The Manhattan has been a born opponent of unification has been beaten into its present approval as the result of Nathan L. Amster's stockholders' protective committee, which canvassed for proxies and secured sufficient to warrant Amster in threatening more than a month ago to take over the whole management by ousting all the present board of directors at the annual meeting. No Further Upsets It was to avoid the open row which such a drive would make that three of the present directors, James F.

Hughes, John Nordhouse and Peter V. Trainque, retired voluntarily to make room for Amster, Charles Hayden and E. N. Brown, representing the new unification group. With this change and the pledge of formal support for the merger dickering, Amster is said to be satisfied and there will be no further upset attempted at the November meeting.

Hayden is one of Dahl's fellow unification directors on the I. R. T. board. E.

N. Brown, the only new name in the transit situation, is a director also of the Chase National Bank, the financial organization with which Dahl is associated and of which Albert H. Wiggin, another unification director, who went into the I. R. T.

board last month, is chairman. Brown is ciate of Amster in the Rock' Island Railroad directorate. Voters 'Colonized' In Pratt District Declaring that illegal registrations have been made in "droves," Deputy Attorney General Louis Boehm announced today that he will appear before Supreme Court Justices Peters and Gavegan in Manhattan this afternoon and ask that 500 names be stricken from the voters lists as alleged "floaters."

City of New York. 022 25 29 ni 5 8 Bob Blamed For Difficulty Of Curb Firm Stopped Payment of 3 Checks for $110,000 to Piperno Company By stopping payment on three checks for a total of $110,000, Charles V. Bob, missing financier, caused the suspension of the curb brokerage firm of Piperno of 43 Exchange Place, Manhattan, according to announcement today by Frank J. Meehan, head of the Investment Trust Department, Bureau of Securities, of the Attorney General's office, which is investigating Bob's affairs. Photographs of the checks, the originals of which were said by Meehan to have been turned over to the brokerage concern by Bob to cover purchases of stocks of several of his own enterprises in a plan to create a market price for them, were shown at the offices of the Bureau of Securities.

"When Piperno Co. found that payment on these checks had been stopped," said Meehan, "the company was forced to announce its inability to meet its obligations with other members of the Curb Exchange. This situation indicates that Bob put Piperno Co. into difficulties and forced this whole series of investigations. After the suspension Co.

Bob disappeared, and hasn't been seen since." Mrs. Bob Called All three of the checks were drawn to the order of Piterno Co. and were dated Oct. 1 last. One was on Bob's personal account and the other two were drawn by his companies.

The largest check was for $55,000 and was drawn by Bob for C. V. Bob Co. upon the International Trust Company. Another in the amount of $30,000 was drawn by Bob against his personal account in the Guaranty Trust Company.

The third, for $25,000, was drawn by B. W. Bob, a brother of the missing man, acting as an official of the Metal and Mining Founders Shares, a Bob enterprise. All had the words "payment stepped" stamped or written on them. Meehan said the checks had apparently been the daily batch which Bob sent along to the brokers for making curb purchases of stock in Rainbow Luminous and other of coProducts, The stop payment orders, he said, were issued less than a week before Bob disappeared.

The missing financier's wife was served this morning with a subpena calling for her appearance at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Bureau of Securities for interrogation by Deputy Attorney General Henry B. Staples about what she may know of her husband's business affairs. She will also be asked, it was said, about a telephone call Bob was reported to have made last Friday night from Akron, Ohio, to his residence at 1010 5th during which he conversed with a servant of the household.

An exhibit that drew scores of spectators was that of the Post Offce Department dealing partly with the hisory and partly with the faciliies of the department. Anticipating the Christmas rush, the department's exhibit stressed particularly the need of secure wrapping and early mailing of Christmas packages.
