Dawson, the Acme Finance Corporation and others for allegedly cor. spiring to use the malls in a scheme to defraud purchasers of Centuvy Consolidated Oil stock, was today nolle prossed by Assistant United. States Attorney Kenneth F. Simpson. Mr.

Simpson explained that there was no reasonable ground for expecting a conviction. The Century Consolidated Oil Company came Into being In 19 JO. It waa capitalized at $10,000,000 and for six months the stock waa offered lot sale by Its promoters. C. B.

Manvllle, president of the Johns-Manville Company, was advertised as the president of the Century Consolidated but Mr. Manvllle denied that he had given permlssio for the use of his name.

Arizona's Department of Agriculture co-operated In the search for the cacti and Forest Rangers of the State were among those who helped find them. "The use of cacti," Mr.

Lewis declared, "is a new idea In landscaping In the East. It is being tried out by a number of wealthy estate owners, particularly on the North Shore of Long Island, and the next few months will show how successful the experiment will be." TAXPAYERS OPPOSE ROGERS AVE. SEWER ASSESSMENT AGAIN Seventy-live independent taxpayers protested to Public Works Commissioner Hesterborff at Boro Hall to day against approval of ths appropriation for the proposed Rogers ave. sewer, which comes up for consideration by the Board of Estimate tomorrow. The project has been twice before the Board of Estimate since last April, when Boro President Byrne moved It for final consideration, and both times the taxpayers have blocked action, arguing that the present sewer in that section is ade quate.

The assessment for the new sewer would range from one to eight cents per square foot. 10 ROUT FIXERS IN FEDEMIBOILDME Postmaster Says Small Rooms Cause Loitering Near Court Offices.

Both United States District Attor ney William A.

Groot and Chief Deputy United states Marshal August Ferrand say the Government has filled provide funds to pay enouch Deputy Marshals to keep the corridors cleared. "Mr. Firmin, in view of the shortage of Deputy Marshals, is there anything you can do as custodian of the- building to keep the corridors elesred of fixers?" the postmaster waa asked. "My men see that there Is no loitering, he replied. "How many watchmen have you 7" lie wu asked.

And then there seem to be difficulties in determining just who are 'fixers'1 and who have officially-recognized business to transact. "It's a public building after all," said Mr. Firmin: "we have to take that into consideration." The postmaster then cited as one reason for the crowded corridors the fact that practically all of the rooms in the building are too small for the purpose for which they are being used. The only permanent solution, he believes, is a new Federal build-ins-, which will provide enough room for every one. Mr.

De Groot believes the situation under control. "We feel we have the situation well in hand," he said-Number Dwindles Today.

JURY PAY INCREASE FAVORED BY JUDGES AS HELP FOR POOR Judicial opinion, expressed today, a to the advisability of increasing pay for Jurors, was. divided, with a majority in favor of the Increase. Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey said: "Certainly not.

Jury duty is a publio service which every male citizen should perform as a service to the State upon which ho miles for the protection of his rights. The service is not to be measured in dollars and cents." f3 Not Justice Harry E. Lewis I be-lleve in more adequate compensation. The present rate of a day is not enough. But with the increase I would make it compulsory for every qualified man to serve when he gets jury notice.

That would bring in the so-called high-class citizens who could not be coaxed into the jury box by a mere tripling of the present fee. Then again, the increase would help the poor fellows without pull who cannot squirm out of Jury duty. Justice Dewis L. aTawcett: "Every other sort of work and duty is now more highly paid for and it would be but simple justice to give jurors more pay for the time and attention they give to litigation between other persons. The salaries of Justices, clerks, attendants and other attaches of the court system have been increased.

Why leave the Juror out? Favors $10 a Day. Justice Charles J. Druhan I am in favor of giving Jurors 110 a day, rather than f.8, as has been suggested, and $1 for each case in which they sit. The big men will beg off; just the same, but the poorer men would get the benefit. Thevpresent trial fees for Jury cases were fixed 10 years ago.

I would also Increase note of issue filing fees to (25. This might eliminate some of the (100 cases that are brought Into this court and often settled for 11,25.

The majority of the rooming-house landlords who have com plained that enfoacement ot the law requiring them to demolish the cooking arrangements In their rooms and apartments, even if they do not consist ot more than a gas burner, is driving the tenants away and ruining their buainess have indicated a complete willingness to Install fire-escapes on their buildings.

But the tenement house people have said: "No, that would do no good. You must stop cooking In your building or go to jail." 110 Inspectors.

Today the number of rooming houses, studio and non-housekeeping aDartments where cookina has been permitted. In excess of two families in each building, has decreased still more. Commissioner Martin's force of 140 inspectors for Brooklyn have continued to order changes made. They have received orders to keep at It until the 20,000 Illegal converted multi-family houses in the boro be come in fact non-housekeeping dwellings.

Flames were stfll crackling near Gravelly Run, but their spread was said to have been checked. Taking cursory account of the damago, the fire warden said the choice woodlands between Mayi Landing and Mch'ee City and English Creek had been reduced to a black smudge.

In actual property loss he counted five ramshackle structures, three of which had been unoccupied for years. He said knew of only two families -those of John Mansfield and William Alien-that had been made homeless. About 200 men fought the firs. dsck every day. This was about their only amusement.

An entire carlosd of such plsnts ias recently transported here from Tucson, Arisona, by the Iwis tk Valentine landscape engineers, for use on the estates of a number of the best people.

These consisted of barrel and flowering cacti, most of them about 20 feet and worth, according to Albert Lewis of the Isndscape gardening concern, at between tli.noo and Quite a nice cactus. Mr. Lewis said, could be obtained for 1400, and a pair, for the adornment of both sides of the entrance to your estate for 1800. At the Bronx Park Botanical Oar-dens It waa said that a great variety of cacti have been kept there for many years, but the larger specimens from the Southwestern deserts must be kept indoors during the winter and In a glass-covered con servstory, where they will get the maximum sunlight, for the rest of the year. From this It appeared that the cacti planted on Long Island estates will have to be taken indoors at leaat during the winter months.

Some of them have already been purchased for the estates of E. F. Hutlnn at Roslyn. L. Mrs.

James Donahue at Oyster Bay, and Mrs. K. T. StoK-sbury in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. While awaiting delivery the weirdly branching plants have been placed on view at the Lewis Valentine Nurseries at Ros-lyn.

Mcdulrk a franchise to operate a ferry from the fot of E. 34th Manhattan, to the foot of Flushing Long Island Clly. This Is the final result of the agitation by merchants and manufacturers df Queensboro and the Mid-town Association of Manhattan to persuade the city authorities to reestablish the Manhattan-Queens ferry, which waa abandoned by the Long Island Railroad Company several years ago, on the ground that the business did not pay the cost of operation.

There was agitation to have it operated but the Board of Estimate was informed by Commissioner Albert Goldman of the Department of plant and Structures that if re-established by the city the ferry would show a consid erable deficit at the end of the year. Those who Insisted that tho ferry could be made to pay were told by Mayor Walker that if they were so sure of It being a profitable proposition they should get up a private company to operate the ferry. To Opera to by July 15. Two applications for a ferry franchise were presented to the Board of Estimate, one by Mr. McGuIrk, and the other by William Rawllngs, but the latter withdrew his petition sev-eral weeks ago, leaving McGuirk the only applicant In the field.

Mr. McGuirk said that the ferry would be In operation about July 16. The new ferry, however, will not carry passengers because the boats will 'be of a type specially suited tor the carrying of heavy trucks. The terms ot the franchise are for a period of ten years, with the privilege of renewal for another ten years. The city will receive no compensation from the ferry company up to Dec.

31, 1928. After that, the rate will be 2 percent of the gross receipts per annum. The company agrees to put in operation two modern ferry boats, especially designed for transporting vehicles and trucks. The boats must make at least six round trips each day. The rate of fare will be the same as Is now charged on the municipality operated Astoria ferry.

It is expected that when these ferry boats are put in service the congestion of vehicular traffic of th Queensboro Bridge will be relieved to some extent. GRAPHIC PLEADS NOT CtlLTY.

Meanwhile word had spread In wildfire manner around the neighborhood, and two or three hundred neighbors gathered in an excited circle around the pit where the tawny dirt was being dug and watched for a metal more tawny still. Patrolman Henry Redlsh, seelns the crowd from a distance, came to investigate the trouble and stayed to watch for momentous developments. Presently "clink!" went a shovel again and another stone was lifted up, glittering brightly in parts. While the men dug away Mrs.

Russo stayed in her kitchen and as they brought her the broken-up rock she washed It In a carefully watching for the presence' of gold. Today Andrew Russo neglected his janitorial duties and. taking samples from the three pans of "pay dirt," started for tho aesay office to discover if it really would pay. Meanwhile young Frank stood over the scene of his discovery and 'his mother hovered about him, while neighbors looked out from nearby windows and asked, "Did you find any more gold?" "Oh, it isn't much," Mrs. Rumo explained, "but I guess it's really gold.

You see, there haven't been any buildings or any diggings on this lot for I guess 200 years nt least. And maybe it was Just a vein that was there all the time. "Some people said it might be Captain Kidd's treasure or something like that. But you know this Is just new gold that nobody had ever before found." Frank, wielding his shovel with a preliminary flourish, looked up for a moment. "If any more reporters come around here," he threatened.

"I'm Just going to chase them right out again!" Thus the possession of "gold" had made him already arrogant.

Agnes Rawl, 13-year-old sister of Catherine, was questioned again today by Inspector John J.

Sullivan and a squad of detectives about the alleged abduction Saturday night of which she was the sole eye-witness. During this questioning she changed the story she had first told her parents and the poller Today one admitted she saw no revolver In Johnson's possession, although her first story was that Catherine followed the policeman when he threatened her with his gun.

Mr. Schaefter said today that the plan is definite to obtain a ship for Lieutenant Hinton, who was the pilot of the famous Navy NC-4 which was the first plane to cross the Atlantic eight years ago.

Within half a mile of Boro Hall, in a neighborhood that has long been thickly populated, 18-year-old Frank Kusso madethe discovery yesterday afternoon while engaged In the unromantic business of digging a pit to cover up a mass of accumulated rubbish.

"Clink!" went the shovel against a round stone buried in the earth, and when the hoy bent to pick it up he saw a bright glitter here and there on the surface, like yellow gold. He dropped the shovel and ran to his home on the ground floor of the adjoining house, 877 Baltic st. There he found his father. Andrew Russo. 43, the janitor of the building, and Mrs.

Russo. "Mother!" he cried. "Dad! Do you think it's gold?" They broke up the soft rock, washed it in a pan of water from the kitchen sink and said it certainly looked Hke gold. oThere were bright, glittering flakes, tiny round thtiics that gave off a distinctly goldon shine. The family gathered around.

They showed the specimens to a neighbor, Balvatore Honzano of 373 Baltic who looked at them with, a magnifying glass and thought they were gold. They went to a druggist, Frederick Kronpjerg, at 203 Hoyt stand he examined it and said: "It looks like gold." He added, however, that they better get an expert to make an analysis, the United States Assay Office in Manhattan particularly. But the Russos could not wait for that. Suddenly the madness, re sponsible for a thousand gold rushes in tne past, overcame them. Baok to the littered lot they went Frank Russo, his father Andrew, his an cient grandfather Thomas, his two brothers and three uncles.

Fran'l- INSURANCE LOSS BY FRAUDS IS CUT $250,000 BY PROBE Since the investigation begun by the Manhattan District Attorney's office Into alleged fraudulent motorcar accident claims against Insurance companies suspicious claims for re covery havo decreased by (250,000 It was stated today at the office of Prosecutor Joab H. Banton. The probe has been under way only three months and after It approached a climax yesterday with the arrest of nine persons, including a lawyer and three young women, several of them residents of Brooklyn, It developed that the drive had already had a salutary effect upon Insurance claims. Mr. Banton stated that the batch rounded up yesterday was only the beginning, the first result of the In vestigation, which, he declared, had revealed systematic swindling of insurance companies.

The alleged swindlers. It was explained, staged a fake acclil.int after insurance had been obtained and succeeded In collecting. Frauds Total (3.000,000 a Year. Most of the collections were small sums, It wss declared. The Insur ance companies usually suspected fraud and protested payment, but ended by settling for small amounts rather than continue negotiations and possibly Incurring the expense of court actions.

These small sums. however, mounted In the aggreg4te until the total reached approximately M.000.800 a year. Altogether about 2 companies have suffered losses, the prosecutor said, through collections on bogus claims. Many Companies Victimised. The District Attorney gave out th following concerns a those which had been victimized: The Standard Accident Insurance Company, London Guarantee and Accident Company, Marylasd Casualty Company, New York Indemnity Company, Metropolitan Casualty In surance Conrpsny, Indemnity Insurance Company.
