With Seabury, who Is spending the weekend at East Hampton go ing over several hundred pages of Dock Department testimony, back at the Inquiry headquarters tomorrow, the dock phase of the inquiry will be pushed full steam ahead. To Quis 25 Tomorrow Twenty-five witnesses are under subpena for tomorrow and Tuesday. These are said to Include Dock Commissioner John McKenzie and the staff of a dozen or so assistant engineers who worked under Keller's supervision. The most important of these Is said to be Melchoir Lenke, who went, into the department's engineering bureau with Keller In 1924. A stolid man in his fifties, he was questioned for two hours after Kel ler's death Friday.

He figures In Keller's testimony as one of the assistant engineers who shared in the "splits" that found their way Into official pockets for "favors." The "splits" ran as high as 110,000. Lenke Is one of two Dock Department employes believed to have shared with Keller knowledge of the Identity of "Frank Baxter." The other employe's name was not, revealed. Two of the assistant engineers on Keller's staff were examined yesterday by Henry J. a. Collins, as sistant counsel handling the Dock Department inquiry.

Their examinations, it was indicated, were aimed at getting a general picture of pier leasing formulas rather than in direct connection with the "Frank Baxter" matter. The witnesses were Robert Wimmer, in charge of the bureau of surveys and dredging, and Joseph A. Median, who directs the com puting of rental charges under the "Dei-aney formula: Wimmer, who has been with the department since 1894, receives $6,000 a year, while Meehan, service dates from 1907, receives $5,220 a year. Center on Revocable Leases Much of the investigation's Inter, est centers on the one-year re vocable leases which, in a number of cases for upwards of ten years, have been passed out to certain steamship companies. These leases have at least one advantage over the long-term leases, that the one-year are made from 'year to year without the imposing of increased rentals.

The long term leases, by the formula," contain clauses providing for Increased rental payments an nually, in accordance with the ad vancing values placed on the concessions. Whether or not the re cipients of the one-year permits are those who enjoy particular favor is a matter inquiry Is seeking to determine. 'Little Black Bag' Sized A furore wag occasioned' yesterday when it was learned that the "little black bag," which Jacob Weiss, Keller's secretary, had brought to the inquiry headquarters Friday morn ing, may have an Important bearing on the inquiry. Weiss left the bag with Collins. but a few minutes later, after Kel ler's death had became known, Al fred Levy, another Dock Department employe, was sent to the inquiry offices to retrieve the parcel.

Collins frustrated this move by im pounding the bag and its contents with a subpena. Contents Being Studied The bag's contents, which in eluded a transcript of Keller's test! mony on the lighterage case In Washington and charts having to do with the city's valuation of Its water-front property at $600,000,000, are being careiuliy studied oy Collins. To all official agencies, Kellers death was considered a closed mat ter yesterday. The police rested on their "Jumped or fell" version, while the medical examiner pronounced the case as "probably suicide." Motarman Only Witnes The only witness listed in the police or district attorney's report is Charles Nlckles, motorman of the subway train that ground out the chief engineer's life. Nlckles' statement was that he saw the man's form hurtling down five feet In front of the train as he was coming to a stop.

H. Federal Prison Inmates Washington. July 11 (flV-A for mer racketeer, using strong-arm methods to enforce a shakedown scheme among- fellow prisoner! at Atlanta penitentiary, today was reported by Federal prison officials as one of those behind the transfer of certain wealthy inmates to other Institutions. The man's name was withheld. Tt was asserted authoritatively, however, that he was Known as one of a touqh gang of thugs," and had used force and threats to obtain money from prisoners.

Federal agents are continuing to Investigate the scheme uncovered in Atlanta, under which certain inmates, upon payment of reputedly small sums to prisoners in "key positions" were transferred from the penitentiary to road camps and other places. One Federal officer said such exhibitions of force within the ranks of large prison groups were not uncommon, and convicts often had been known to carry into prisons the practices for which they were sentenced. 5 Being Returned At the same time, Jimcs V. Bennett, acting director of Federal prisons, issued an emphatic denial of reports that a group of men convicted of smuggling, graft and bootlegging were enjoying comparative luxury and little, if any, work at the prison camp at Fort Wadsworth. N.

Y. He said five men. known to have paid bribes to obtain their transfer from Atlanta to the camp, were en route back to the Georgia Institution. The shakedown system, under which they obtained transfers, he added, has been broken up. Three of the men sent back to Atlanta were Paul Rabkin, Solomon Rubman and Joseph Pearlman.

Would Be Near Home "Rome of the prisoners formerly at Fort Wadsworth were willing to pay bribes to get there, not because it would mean easy work and more pleasant living, but because they could be nearer their families in New York City," Bennett said "Conditions are as rigid at the camp as irt any of the New York City prisons," he added. The acting prison chief said prisoners were required to do eight hours manual labor each day and were quartered in barracks that had been abandoned. Guns are not used by guards at the camp, he said, because most of the men sent there were honor prisoners, often the eve of parole, who would not forfeit their advantages to chance an escape. He added that some additional liberty was allowed, them In the matter of visitors. Mrs.

District Attorney Edwards made a brief address. Society girls In costume sold flowers and favors and mingled with the guests while the flares of colored lights played on the bright hues of their costumes. A large sum was realized for the work of the Safety Council, as admission fees at $1 each swelled the fund without the extra sales.

July 11 State and local police, armed with machine guns and tear gas grenades, guarded the city tonight, while cer tain Polish-Americans, aroused by recent strike excesses, took steps to rid it of Communist agitators. Three times in 48 hours the city was obliged to call all cf its police resources and those of the State to fight attacks on property of the General Fabrits Corporation, where a strike is in progress. Today the Polish-American Citizens Club asktd and received per mission of the police to hold a meet ing with the strike committee tonight for the purpose of eliminating the Communist element from the strike activity.

Meanwhile police did not cease their vlyllance. Machine guns were placed on the roof of the mill and flood lights were installed and focused on the streets and adjacent property. Steel helmets were issued to State police, who took possession of the mill property, moving in cots and cooking equipment. Although small groups continued to gather In the streets throughout the day, police made only two arrests, both for minor offenses. In Providence State authorities proceeded to take stock of the National Guard resources and ordered the various companies to be prepared for a call.

Murphy in Row With Lockwood Contlaued From Page 1 wood of Queens, the secretary. In all probability the delegates will meet at noon in the Supreme Court Building, Sept. 29, the last day for filing the nominations. Yesterday meeting was short and peaceful. Only a handful of the leaders are members of the com- mittee.

But the contenders are in the ring and it looks like a fight to the flnifh despite the discreet silence, of Kracke, Lockwood ar.d Murphy. However, their seconds are voluble enough. A man in Murphy's corner last night: Charlie Lockwood cave his word he would be for Murphy and we are counting on his keeping his word." And the Lockwood second replied: "Lockwood has not given any one a promise Of his support and, furthermore, he has not discussed the situation at all." The Eagle told two days ago how the leaders, including Kracke. are anxious to elevate Lockwood for two reasons: First, he Is the strongest leader in the county outside of Kracke. and if he goes on the bench he will be removed as a threat from the field of active politics.

Second. Democratic County Leader John H. McCooey and Mayor Walker are anxious to fill Lock-wood's place on the Transit Commission with a man who would not be antagonistic to Chairman John H. Dclaney of the Board of Transportation and his views on unification. is the added reason that McCooey, who has consented to the granting of bipartisan nominations that will assure two places on the bench for Brooklyn Republicans, would like to fill Lockwood's place with a Brooklyn Democrat.

Keller's close friend, who holds to the belief that the engineer accidentally fell in front of the train or met with foul play, left last nlgnt to visit the engineer's family at Speonk, L. I. The physician said that whether or not he will ask a reopening of the investigation Into Keller's death will be dictated by the family's wishes. Members of Keller's family, like his colleagues in the Dock Department, have expressed the belief that the engineer fell accidentally.

Keller was highly nervous, and believed to be near the "breaking point" in his appearances before the Seabury Inquiry. His testimony as to having "splii." a number of alleged bribes with subordinates and others, as well as his involvement in the "Frank Baxter" mystery, left evidence of his worry. Death Spurs Seabury The engineer's death, however, has served to spur the Seabury determination to solve the "Frank Baxter" riddle or to learn with whom the "slush fund" was split If Keller filled the Baxter role. Considered quite significant, incidentally. Is the circumstance that Keller and Lenke, two of the trio held to be Informed of the "Frank Baxter" secrets, live in Brooklyn and have been at least fairly active in politics here.

Three members of the assistant counsel staff, Herbert Levien, Andrew Oliver and W. Randall Comp-ton. It was learned, have passed several weeks In the Dock Department offices going through records and compiling charts.

McCloskey Irving Shapiro got an overdose of hot lead in his own right and not simply because he looked like his brother, Meyer, in the opinion of Capt. John J. McCloskey, heading the investigation of Brooklyn's newest underworld murder. The leader of the 12th Dtcctlve Division asserted that Irving didn't look so much like Meyer, anyhow "The Little Shot, as Irving was called by East New York's slot machine operators, was mixed up in a numbr of small rackets that might easily have spelled trouble for him. the detective said.

Say He Ran Crap Game For one thing, he was said to have run a floating crap game. He "shy locked," it was alleged. That means he lent money without security to personal acquaintances, probably men who wanted stakes for crap games. The Investigation proceeded all day, yesterday, but no arrests were made. It meant a heavy day for "The Big Shot" brother, Meyer.

He was questioned for several, hours by inspector Sweeney, McCloskey and Assistant District Attorney Nicholas saivaggl. Then they decided to go fit It again last night. During the day they didn't hear anything about possible motives and possible enemies from Meyer, ac cording to McCloskey. As outlined by the detective captain, Meyer's story was that he had not learned about the murder of his brother until 11 a.m. yesterday.

He burst Into tears when he heard about It. Tells of Trip Upstate The dead man's brother stated that they drove to Fallsburg, N. on Wednesday with another man. They drove back to Brooklyn, and lmi'diately after their arrival went to the Century Democratic Club. 332 Sheffield where they played cards with Smoky Epstein.

McCloskey quoted Meyer as saying. The card game broke up at 2 a.m.. and he went to the home of a friend, while Smoky and Irving started for the latter's apartment, at 691 Blake Ave. The murder occurred at 3:30 a.m.. as Irving was entering the apartment.

With a seem Ing touch of cynicism, he traced the world's efforts for disarmament during the past do7.rn years, telling how each new treaty and pledge had resulted only In increasing the armies and navies of the world. But he concluded with this note "You will never disarm, you will never effect real disarmament until you renounce war not merely on a scroll of paper but In the hearts of men. "But let us take every step, let us make every effort to teach and Influence the minds of men in that direction. When that Is done the pact to denounce war will be a reality."
