a SATURDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION FEBRUARY 17, 1934 AS JUDGE, DEFIES VERDICT FOR SLOT DEVICES Holding Woman Storekeeper, He Says No Court Can Stop Drive Against Gambling. The Federal Court ruling against police interference with slot machines was challenged personally by Mayor LaGuardia today to upget his decision as a committing magistrate, handed down yesterday when he sat in the West 100th St. Police Station in Manhattan, holding a woman storekeeper in $5 bail for possession of one of these machines. The U. S.

Circuit Court of Appeals earlier in the week sustained the ruling by Federal Judge Moscowitz that police could not intertere with machines not proved to have been used for gambling. Police Commissioner 0'Ryan was as anxious as the Mayor to have a test made, inasmuch as the police have been conducting a campaign against both policy slip gambling and slot machines. Mrs. Anna Jurovaty, of 1031 Amsterdam Manhattan, appeared before the Mayor on complaint of Patrolman Joseph had F. Gallagher, who testified he found machine in a store operated by the woman and her husband, Policeman's Testimony He said he had placed two coins in the machine and received no slugs or merchandise.

Gallagher then said that he bought 25 cents worth of slugs Mrs. Jurovaty, who took them from a cash register. After getting no results with these he bought 50 cents worth more and "on the eighth try with that lot got back four slugs and on the tenth two more." "What did you do with them?" the Mayor asked. "Cashed them for 30 cents," the patrolman replied. "United States currency?" sir." The patrolman then testified Mrs.

Jurovaty told him the machine had been left there without her or her husband's consent by a man named "Cohen." Mrs. Jurovaty not want to testify, but her husband and their chef, William Smichura, were heard. At the conclusion of the testimony the Mayor, holding the woman for Special Sessions today in the West Side Court, told her to put up bail there. He ordered the police to check up on "Cohen" and to "get busy and arrest these racketeers." He explained his entrance into the case a magistrate by reason of misapprehension of the effect and of the injunction recently handed down." "Speaks For Itself" "The slot machine speaks for he continued. "It does not require any legal education to see that it is a slot machine as described by the Penal Code, possession of which is a misdemeanor.

injunction can restrain the vested authorities in the State from enforcing the criminal law. There should be no timidity on the part of the police enforcement officers and the city magistrates in enforcIng the penal laws of the State of New York. "This is not a vending machine and not even Federal judge can make it one. It is a gambling machine, a slot machine. This case is typical and it discloses the conditions with which the police are confronted.

"The defendant is a respectable, hard woman. Her husband is a decent, man trying to earn a living. Their appearance, demeanor and attitude disclose that they are decent citizens. The defendant is a victim of racketeers and criminal elecontrol and have concessions on these gambling devices which are nothing but mechanical larceny." DETECTIVES PROMOTED Two Gain Rank of First Grade With $800 Pay Jump. One Brooklyn and one Queens detective have been promoted from the second to the first grade as a result of an announcement made yesterday by Police Commissioner John F.

O'Ryan. They are James P. Diamond, of the Poplar St. tion, and James McKeogh, of the Creedmoor Station. The salary of a first-grade detective is $4,000, which is $800 more than that paid men of the second grade.

FIGHTING FATAL EAST SIDE BLAZE ON ROOF -Times Union Photo Firemen are shown above on roof of the five-story East Side, Manhattan, tenement in which fire claimed seven, and possibly eight, lives early today. Speed and intensity of blaze was so great that flames swept tenement from cellar to roof before firemen arrived. Near-zero temperatures added to difficulty of fighting fire.

7 PERSONS PERISH IN EAST SIDE FIRE (Continued from Preceding Page) awakened them in time to escape to the street. Samuel Spellman, 44, and his wife, Irene, 39, awakened by the dog's barking and herded their three children to safety. The children are Irving, 13; Lillian, 10, and Hanley, 8. More than 20 persons were carried by firemen down an aerial ladder thrown in front of the building. Clad only in night clothes, they shivered in the 10-above temperature of the street until neighbors came to their aid.

The blaze was one of the worst in years in the metropolitan area. The three. alarms brought fire apparatus which jammed the narrow streets of the neighborhood. While the firemen were fighting the blaze for two hours, tragic scenes were being witnessed in the icy streets a8. survivors sought members of their families.

Cry Out for Missing Kin Still clad in the scanty attire in which they fled they ran through the cold streets crying out for relatives. Terrenalla was the chief mourner, screaming hysterically for permission to re-enter the building in search of his missing wife and children. Firemen tried in vain to re-enter the fourth floor apartment which the Terrenalla family occupied, but were thwarted by the flames. Rescue efforts of the firemen were hampered by the sub-freezing temperatures which encased the building in a sheet of ice from the streams of water. Man and Wife Burned By Gasoline Explosion Mrs.

Donovan, 32, of 413 Bergen was having difficulty last night keeping the furnace lighted, so she decided to use gasoline to hurry it along, according to the police of the Bergen st. precinct. As a result she and her husband, Timothy, 87, are in the hospital suffering from burns. Both are expected to recover. The gasoline blazed up and the flames ignited the clothing of Mrs.

Donovan, whose screams were heard by her husband. He rushed into the cellar and was burned in extinguishing his wife's flaming garments. Other persons in the house, a three-story brick structure, went into the cellar and had the Donovans removed to hospital after Dr. Alley from the hospital had treated them. Child, Ill, Removed As Fire Sweeps Home A child who was ill was removed from the home of her parents at 1069 East Eighth st.

yesterday as fire, starting apparently from an overheated furnace, swept through the roof and spread for a while to a slight extent to the upper part of a house at 1063 East Eighth owned by Thomas Barren. Shirley Cowen, was in the house with her mother, Mrs. Leah Cowen, when she smelled smoke and her shouts attracted the attention of Mrs. Lena Rosenbaum, living, st. next door at 1073 East Mrs.

Rosenbaum wrapped the little girl in a blanket and helped her to the Rosenbaum home. A fire alarm brought nearby apparatus to the scene, but by that time the fire had burst through to the room. The flow of water was also bad, and a second alarm was sounded. Damage to the house at 1069, which is owned by Jacob M. Cowen, father of the child a who discovered the fire, was estimated at about $5,000.

Man's Body Discovered In Harlem Fire Ruins Near the site of Harlem's notorlous "murder stable" of a generation ago, fire of undetermined origin early today destroyed a garage at 338 E. 108th Manhattan. The body of unidentified man was found by firemen in the ruins. The garage had been used by T. Marino, a crystal water distributor.

for parking his fleet of cars and FARLEY WILLING TO COMPROMISE (Continued from Preceding Page) reports that he was a candidate tor the Gubernatorial nomination. He refused to discuss reports from Albany that Governor Lehman was displeased with him because Farley had apparently failed to whip the up-State Democratic legislators into line on the economy bill. Before his scheduled conference with Minority Leader Irwin Steingut, of the Assembly, and Senator John J. Dunnigan, majority leader of the Upper House. Farley conwith his assistant, Vincent briefly, He has let it be known he is determined at all costs to avoid a break with Flynn, the leader of the Bronx, whose opposition has helped thus far to stifle all chances of the bill's enactment.

Steingut informed the Times Union he was entirely ready to confer with the Postmaster General and was belleved to be prepared to go along with Farley in an attempt to work out a compromise solution. Quayle Ouster Issue Meanwhile, however, there were unexpected complications. It was reported that Steingut in going to the conference with Farley was ready to seek a showdown on the surprise sprung on him by Farley's Brooklyn ally, Sheriff -Frank J. Quayle, in ousting three Democrats living in Steingut's district from their places on the Sheriff's staff. In the face of Steingut's fight to prevent City Hall interference with the county offices he was reported to be astounded by Quayle's action in forcing the trio of ousters.

In political circles it was reported that Steingut, prior to Jan. 1, when the dismissal of former allies of the late County Leader John H. McCooey loomed in the Sheriff's office, went to Farley and gbtained his backing for the retention of Herman Dahut, the Sheriff's auctioneer. Dahut, a vice president of the Madison Club, was one of those dropped yesterday by Quayle. Steingut has steadfastly refused thus far to publicly discuss Quayle's action.

Farley arrived from Washington late last night. He was manifestly ruffled by reports that Governor Lehman was disposed to take his fight for the bill to President Roosevelt. Previously Farley had issued a statement hotly declaring "no one has a right to assume 1 am not in thorough accord with Governor Lehman." From Albany, however, there were continuing reports that the Governor was displeased by Farley's failure to order the Democrats into line in order to obtain enough votes to pass the bill. One plan which may be favored in today's conference contemplates a move to have the Democratic Senate rush through a bill nearly conforming to LaGuardia's ideas and then sending it to the Assembly where, it is believed, it might then have a better chance of passage than heretofore. PLEADS FOR RETURN OF MISSING GIRL Stricken Father Seeks Daughter Gone for Three Years.

A plea that his daughter, missing from her home for the past three years, return was made yesterday by Charles Nocera, a cabinet maker, of 104-69 46th Corona, who is now in the Flushing Hospital in a serious condition. The father cries for her almost continually and Detective Charles Oppel of the Missing Persons Bureau has redoubled his efforts to locate the girl. She is Julia Nocera, who disappeared March 4, 1931. She had left her home to go to work in a millinery shop in Manhattan but called up a short time later to say that she had a pain on her left side which was bothering her from an operation a year before and that she would visit a doctor. She again telephoned her family later in the day to say that she was returning home but failed to do so and that was the last time her family heard from her.

Julia was 17 at the time and was feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 105. pounds and having brown eyes and dark brown hair. INJURED IN FALL An unidentified man sustained concussion of the brain when he tripped over a cellar door in front of 1765 86th st. He was taken to Coney Island Hospital. He is.

about 58 years old, five feet nine inches in height and weighs 160 pounds. He WAS wearing a grey overcoat, dark suit, tan shoes and black socks. Discover Banished Statues In Brooklyn Storage Yard Effigies of Washington Irving and Dr. Sims Were Ousted From Bryant Park, Manhattan 1932 for the banished statues men of the city's past, it has day efforts are being made Park, Manhattan, where they The statues are those of WashIngton Irving and of Dr. James Marion Sims, a surgeon who founded the first woman's hospital here.

After a long search they were found in- the storage yard of the Department of Plan and Structures under the Brooklyn end of the Williamsburg Bridge, where they had been banished by the George Washington Bicentennial Commission to make way in Bryant Park for the copy of Federal Hall set up there in 1932. Discovery of the whereabouts of the missing statues was made when the Municipal Art Commission passed upon plans for the beautification of park, according to Park Commissioner Moses. Mr. instituted the search. Former heads of the Park partment, officials of the commission, and John H.

Fedeler, superintendent of the New York Public Library, adjoining the park, did not know where the statues had been exiled. Mr. Moses's chief clerk, James A. Sherry, was asked about the effigies. He remembered that the massive statuary, said to weigh 50 tons, had been entrusted to the Department of Plant and Structures for safekeeping.

Further search located the statues under the bridge. wrapped in tarpaulins against the weather of the waterfront. "The commission was more interested in what had become of the statues than plans for landscaping the park," Mr. Moses said with some amusement. He estimated that it will cost about $500 to transport the massive CHRISTOPHER GELSON FUNERAL RITES HELD Washington Democratic Club Delegation Attends Service.

Hitler Denies Blame For Austrian Revolt London, Feb. Dally Mail today published an interview secured by its Berlin correspondent with Chancellor Adolph Hitler in which the German leader, disclaimed any connection Austrian uprising and cited his own rise to power in pointing out the futility of violence. "Some people believe that the German National Socialists had something to do with the troubles in Austria." Hitler was quoted by the Mail as saying. "That is entirely false. We sympathize neither with Chancellor Dollfuss nor his opponents.

Both sides are wrong in their methods. Nothing permanent can be achieved by violence, "There have been 1,600 between 4,000 and 5,000 wounded in Austria.

In protest against alleged unfair competition of chain organizations, more than 20,000 retail cleaning and dyeing shops in Nassau, York and Westchester counties were scheduled to close tonight for an indefinite period. Charges that some of the chain stores have violated the provisions of the NRA code were made by Jac M. Lovell of 26 Court counsel to the Cleaners and Dyers Board of Trade. Conditions in the industry are intolerable," Lovell said. "Here we have a situation where about 200 stores, or one per cent.

of the owners, are not complying with the NRA; and, through their price cutting and unfair tactics, are driving the neighborhood tailor to the wall. The protest is intended to toeus the attention of the public on the situation." Lovell said that although the code specifies that 8 minimum of 75 cents for a dress and 70 cents for suits shall be charged, some stores advertise prices of 59 and cents.

Not only were France and Germany far apart. on disarmament, but the picture of Europe torn between Socialist and Fascist parties caused.

Democratic governments to postpone any plans they might have had for rapproachment. Parley Anthony' Eden, British Lord Privy Seal, and Lord Tyrell, British Ambassador and veteran diplomatist, sought in a conference with a battery of French Cabinet Ministers today to advance the idea of a European disarmament conference. But minds were not on disarmament. Frenzied over riots of their own, having heard over wireless hookups speeches that indicated German and Austrian Nazis were waiting their chance to step over the German frontier into Austria and seize power, French cabinet ministers sought to. strengthen France's own position.

Eden, in his visit here, advanced the idea of a conference of the seven nations most interested in European disarmament--Britain, Italy, Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Poland. They would draft a disarmament convention for presentation to Germany and other nations outside the League of Nations. But with Socialists making their death stand Austria, after their defeat in Italy, Germany and Poland, and their setback in riots in France itself last week, the time was regarded as not propitious for talk of disarmament.
