Real tors and developers, represented by the Morles Realty Corporation, have tarted filling in the lake, which Is 1 acres In extent, and the placid waters of which extend right Into the village of Roslyn, L. Main st. form ing one of its shores. For generations it has been the rendezvous of nature lovers in summer and merry skaters in winter.

The town lawyers told Justice Dru han that the lake belongs to the town, having been awarded in a grant niHde March 6, 1666 by William Kleft, the Dutch Governor of the State. Several weeks ago, however, the realty concern began planting dredges and lining machines, and actually lined lr. one corner of the lake. Counsel for tho realty concern said that the company got a deed to the lake from Frederick C. Hicks, shortly before the latter's death in 1925, and that the lake had long been known as the property of the Hicks family The first they ever heard of It being public property, they said, was when the town officials of North Hempstead objected to the filling In and served the realtors with an action in ejectment to oust them from the property.

The realtors declared that no more filling in will be done, at least until the legal controversy is decided. Justice Druhan reserved decision. TAMMANY UPSET BY RUMOR SMITH WILL PICK BERRY Friends See Controller as Certain Choice for Qovernor Unless Wagner Enters Race. Tammany braves were disturbed to day by rumors that Governor Smith's choice for Governor will be Controller Charles W. Berry.

His friends have gone so far as to declare that unless Leader George W. Olvany can persuade Senator Robert F. Wagner to make the run, Berry will get the place at the head of the Democratic State ticket. They point to his efficiency in office and his close personal friendship with tne Governor, plus his reputation throughout the State as a man who has made good in every position he has he'd, as proof positive that the Controller is the leading candidate for the nomination at the present time. Estranged With Tammany.

Those who ate inclined to disagree with this point of view argue that Berry's independence as City Controller has estranged him from Tammany Hall. They point out that with New York City the battleground in tne Gubernatorial compaign, as it will be if Attorney General Albert Ottin-ger is the Republican nominee, Smith will have to leave the selection of the candidate pretty much up to Tam-uiany Hall. Wold has come from Democratic State Chairman Bray that the man to head the ticket, if he is to give Smith the greatest amount of assistance carrying New York State, must be a Protestant and one who can come as near the Governor's plurality of about 500.000 in Greater New York two years ago as possible. Has Large Following. Berry is a Protestant and a 32d degree Mason.

He has a large personal following throughout the city r.nd has frequently been lauded for his ability as the watchdog of the city's treasury. But on the other hand, his independence is comparable to that of his predecessor, Controller Craig. Berry will be aboard Governor Smith's special train when it leaves for the West Sunday night. He will go as "ship's physician" and adviser on questions of financial administration. Governor Smith has called a meeting of the party leaders to be held before he departs.

Whether or not Berry will accompany the Governor on his Western trip as the Gubernatorial candidate, probably will be decided before the train leaves, for it is understood Smith will make known his choice at the conference. Would Eliminate Objection. For the last year Berry has been a resident of Dongan Hills, S. I. He formerly lived in Brooklyn and was an active worker in County Leader John H.

POLICE BRIBE LIST OF PHILADELPHIA'S RUM RING FOUND Prosecutor to Give It to Grand Jury Alleges Captain Got $75 a Month in Graft. Philadelphia, Sept. 12 (P) District Attorney John Monaghan announced today that bootleggers" records con taining the names of police officials alleged to have received regular payments from the rum ring have come Into his possession.

One item, he declared, alleged that $75 a month had been paid to the police captain in the district where the still was located; others showed district detectives received $50 a week and street sergeants $25 a week. "These bootleggers are going to hang themselves with their own records," the District Attorney said. "They didn't trust each other; they wanted books to show where all the money was going." The prosecutor said that Miss Annn Cooney, a 23-year-old stenographer in a lawyer's olnce, had been tricked into signing papers which caused her name to apjiear as the owner of a big distillery.

Perth Amboy, N. Sept. 12 A boy was drowned, a barge captain is mlss ing and four other persons are un conscious in the Perth Amboy City Hospital, after being plunged 10 feet Into Staten Island Sound early to day when a dory In which they were descending from the deck of a coal lighter broke In half.

Charles Smith, 40, of 528 Market Newark, his wife, Marie, 35, and" his sons, Philip, 3, and Joseph, 7, arid Fred Filippana, 40, of 40 Walnut Newark, boarded the Bee Line Barge 704 at Newark earlier In the day, as it w'as being towed to Perth Amboy; Smith formerly was captain of the barge and was invited to make the trip, according to the police, by Capt. William Torsen, 50, of Laurie Perth Amboy, the present Dory Breaks In Two. The group stayed aboard after the, barge was anchored In the Sound ofl Perth Amboy. About 1 a.m. today, Torsen agreed to take them ashore In the barge's dory, All entered the Dory at the level of the deck of the barge, which is the old-fashioned type with high sides.

When the dory had been let part way down, below the deck level, with. Torsen and Smith standing in the stern and bow, respectively, and working the rope falls, it cracked In the center and plunged the entire party overboard. Torsen disappeared. Smith grabbed his wife, who in turn held Philip and Joseph. Filippana could swim llttla and he had all he could do to take care of himself.

Boy Slips from Mother's Grasp. Mrs. Smith, losing strength, felt her grip on Joseph weaken, but was pow erless to aid him, for fear of dropping Philip. Joseph clung to his mother but gradually his strength gave way and she felt him slip down along her body clutch at her legs, beneath the surface, and finally let go, Members of the crew of the tug, whose names could not be learned, plunged overboard. Others lowered a.

lifeboat and picked up the surviving members of the party. All were rushed to the hospital in an unconscious condition except Mrs. Smith. She told the story to the police and then col lapsed. The Smiths and Filippana are in a critical condition from submersion and exDosure.

Police are dragging the Sound for Philip and Captain Torsen, $98,000 Is Offered For Curb Market Seat Arrangements have been made for sale of a New York Curb Market Association membership at $98,000.

The passengers after considerable delay were conveyed baclj to Babylon to board electric The Speonk Special, one of th crack trains in the morning; commti-.

Congestion and confusion resulted at Jamaica station when the electrio trains dumped their additional during the morning rush hour peak.

At the left Izotta Jewel before one camera and before the camera on the right is Maurice Randall. The two persons in the right fore were connected directly by wire to the transmitter. Within the transmitting and control rooms there were receiving sets which were showing the pictures as picked up by radio several miles away and sent back to the studios for checking up the manner in which the pictures went over the air. The Image that was picked up by radio seemed a trifle clearer and more brilliant than the image sent directly by wire. The pictures are of a distlncily pink color, due to the use of a neon lamp in the receiver.

No other device than the neon lamp has been found sensitive enough for rjceiving television signals, and it will produce only one color lisht a pink with an orange tinge. I)r. Alexanderson rionccr In Work. The technical development which made yesterday's demonstration possible Is the work of Dr. E.

F. W. Alexanderson. About this time last year he gave a demonstration of a television transmitter and receiver which produced a picture which had an area of about one sqtiare inch. Yesterday's picture had an area of nine square inches.

Dr. Alexanderson has made mucn lurtner advance in teif' vision than was demonstrated in yes. terday's television drama, and this was exhibited in his laboratory in the General Electric Research Laboratory building. Here he produced wire-carried television on so large a scale that a prize fight was sent from one part of the another. These pictures were shown on a screen similar to that on which movies are projected, the picture being about 14 inches square.

These pictures were scanned by 48 lines to the inch and they had remarkable definition and detail. They cannot be used for radio transmission because they require a broadcasting channel 20,000 cycles wide, while for practical use a channel only 5,000 cycles is available. Tclevisinn for Home Later. The principal drawback to the pictures of the television radio drama shown yesterday was that they shifted somewhat to the right and left of the center of the screen, due to slight. variation in the speed of the motor which turned the scanning disc.

The pictures flickered, but to no greater an extent than some of the movies of not so many years ago. BANKRUPT TRIED ON PERJURY COUNT Nathan Spinell, 38, of 831 Saratoga went on trial on a perjury charge in Brooklyn Federal Court today before Judge Henry D. Clay, ton of Alabama and a Jury, The charge against him is based on his testimony several months ago before Federal Judge Grover M. Mos- cowitz. when he opposed an action by creditors to have adjudged bank' rupt Blum's General Merchandise Store, 922 Blake ave.

Ths creditors who appeared before Judge Moscowitz had lost Acme $4,000 of credits extended tc Spinell. Testi mony adduced today by Assistant Federal Attorney Morris Packer pre sented Spinell as abandoning a business at 118 Belmont ave. through a State Court assignment to his cred itors, when there was only $150 of merchandise left in tho premises. Those same creditors, finding Spinell in control of the Blum store immediately thereafter, filed a bankruptcy petition against it in Federal Court on March 28, last. Spinell, fighting the petition, claimed that the business belonged to his brother-in- law, Isidor Blum, also of 831 Sara toga who employed him to run it at a salary of $35 a week.

When it was brought out that Spinell was known to the new set of jobbers with whom he now was dealing as I. Blum, Judge Moscowitz adjudicated Blum's General Merchandise Store bankrupt and had spinell indicted for perjury. by Mate, 22, His Sweetheart' Simon declared that at the time they were married he was earning $25 a week, all of which he gave to his wife. She, however, he charges, callsd him vile names, struck him and even threatened to kill him. He also alleges that in September, 1926.

"Little Rachel is crying for her father every day," asserted Max Blumenthal of 83 Cannon st Manhattan, who stated he is Mrs. Simon's cousin. "She is of late continuously under the care of a physician, because of the alarming condition of her health." 1 Magnus Johnson, "Jim Ham" Lewis and Gore of Oklahoma Spellbinders.

By IlliNRY SUVDAM. Tho Democratic management has got together a group of orators and spellbinders of ancient vintage whose names suggest "Who's Who for 1910" or earlier. The heavy rhetoric of Governor Smith's campaign will, It appears, devolve upon a miscellaneous mass of former members of the United States Senate, most of whom disappeared from public life some years ae-o through the simple process of defeat. Senator Millard E. Ty-dings of Maryland, chairman of the Speakers Bureau, Democratic National Committee, may have some real personalities In reserve, but, according to information now available, he is depending upon rather second-rate talent.

Magnus Johnson to Oralc. For example, who should turn up in Governor Smith's entourage but that quaint Scandinavian Magnus Johnson of Minnesota! Magnus was elected to the United States Senate in 1923 and ejected In 1924 after having become, at least In part, Republican. He is down for a whole series of pro-Smith speeches in the Northwest. The Corinthian figure of former Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, pink whiskers still brilliant, will say it witn flowers for Governor Smith on 13 different nights in various parts of the Middle West. Towne of Arizona Another.

Former senator Towne of Arizona is down for 28 speeches; former Senator Stanley of Kentucky for 13, former Senator Gore of Oklahoma for 8 and former Governor Ross of Wyoming for 22. One of the most frequent orators for Governor Smith will be the author of the Eighteenth Amendment, Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas. The sponsor of this amendment, which Mr. Smith is out to change, will deliver 23 speeches for the Democratic candidate throughout the Southwest. The rest of the speakers, as thus far announced, will consist of one or two Governors, some Senators, several members of Congress, Norman Hap-good and Elizabeth Marbury.

Davis to Talk Against Hughes. Toward the close of the campaign the Democrats will put on John W. Davis, who will be used in New York against Charles Evans Hughes. Both of these men will discuss foreign affairs, as well as other subjects, and their addresses are expected to provide somewhat higher argument than most other campaign speeches. The Republicans will put on at least part of the Cabinet and trot out most of their faithful wheel-horses, chief among whom is Senator Simeon D.

Fess of Ohio, who thinks that all great civilizations since the dawn of time were founded upon Republican principles. Under-secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills is already assailing Gov. Smith, but it is being noted, with some curiosity, that Theodore Roosevelt is silent. Whether he has been enjoined from Republican headquarters to keep his mouth shut is not known, but there Is a report, which seems to have substance, that Gov.

Smith has collected sufficient material to demolish Mr. Roosevelt if he should again attack the Governor on moral grounds. This might have something to do with Mr. Roosevelt's unusual discretion. Great Figures Missing from Ficture.

The great figures of the Republican campaign ol eight years ago, or even of four years ago, are all out of the picture. Will H. Hays, who was originally a strong Hoover man, is dead politically as free silver, that bit of Bryanlsm which Mr. Hays tried on Harry F. Sinclair.

H. M. Daugh-erty, who brought about Mr. Harding's nomination in 1920, is "out of politics" for obvious reasons. John T.

Adams, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, who was prominent in Mr. Hoover's pre convention organization, was retired from prominence when a Senate Committee dug into Republican campaign finance. There are other figures who touched at some point the scandalous conditions in the Department of Interior or the Department of Justice who are still active in Mr. Hoover's behalf, but these men are kept screened from public view SINCLAIR EXTORTION TRIALS POSTPONED sJudge T. Blake Kennedy in the Federal' Court in Manhattan today ad-joWrned until Sept.

19 the trial on the indictment returned against the two Internal Revenue agents who were arrested a ago on charges of extorting $10,000 from Reginald T. Rag-land, counsel for Harry F. Sinclair, in connection with a proposed settlement of Sinclair's income tax returns for 1925 and 1926. The defendants are Edward Brown of 302 Empire Brooklyn, and Elmer F. Andrews of 840 Mott avo the Bronx.

They were nabbed by Federal officers on Thursday after Andrews had gone to Ragland's office and. it is alleged, received $10,000 on account. They are said to have promised to allow Sinclair a deduction of $2,000,000, which Sinclair claimed as a loss from his racing activities and bnd debts, if Sincliar would pay them The adjournment was granted on the application of David P. Siegel, who with Caesar Barra is defending Brown and Andretfs. He asked for i more time to prepare the case.

Assistant United States Attorney Herman Foster opposed the application, declaring the trial would not last more than a day. Taxi Man Who Aided Cops In Bandit War Gets $100 Snmuul Stein, taxi chauffeur of 127 Harrison ave called at Manhattan Police Headquarters this morning and was presented with a check for $100. the gift of Congressman William W. Cohen, by Commissioner Joseph A. Warren.

In addition the Commissioner warmly congratulated Stein for the aid he gave patrolman James J. Crouln early last Wednesday morning in the pursuit of two bandits, one of whom, Frank Gallagher, was killed in a gun rtucl outside a west side garage. Stein was wounded In the right arm in the affrav. In addition he received a slight flesh wound in the abdomen in the fusillade. 1 I Stage ground manage the "props" which are placed in the view of the third camera.

Doran, U. S. Prohibition Commissioner, as a result of the action yesterday of Fed eral Judge Thomas D. Thacher in declaring illegal 26 temporary padlock injunctions which had been imposed on New York night clubs in advance of trial. Since such temporary in- junctions have been adopted as a regular policy in Prohibition enforce ment, appeal Dy the Attorney Gen.

eral's office is considered inevitable. The matter came before Judtre Thacher yesterday on an order to show cause served upon the United States Attorney's office by M. Michael Edelstein and J. Arthur Adler, at torney lor clubs involved. The a torneys contended that the clubs had been deprived of property and space for which they were paying rent, and so deprived without due process of law.

"Shocking," Judge Thacher Says. Judge Thacher agreed. "To my mind," he said, "this practice of depriving persons of their property or the use of their property without a trial is shocking. The order fixing padlocks on the bars of most of the 26 clubs involved in raids six weeks ago was issued by Judge John R. Hazel of Buffalo on June 28 and later when he was sit ting here.

Amonir the resorts nadlocked and boarded up 'were Helen Morgan's summer Home, Texas Guinan Salon Royal, the Frivolity Club, the Silver Slipper, the Charm Club, the Knight Club, the Ferndale Club. Luigi's Restaurant and the Don Royal Club aesns Lien Sale eNts $328,016 on 1,306 Bids Under the direction of Controller Charles W.

$1,500 Ring Mystery Baffles L. I Police (Special to The Eaale.) Hempstead, Sept. 12 Police here have been unable to unearth any clues in the mysterious disap pearance of a case of 36 rings valued at $1,500 from the Jewelry store of unanes w. Lockwood. On Labor Day Mr.

He notified Mr. Lockwood at once, but no trace of the Jewels has been found. Heany has not been arrested.

Paul Block, who recently purchased the Standard Union, was tin; guest of honor and principal speaker.

About 65 persons attended. Mr. Block stressed the need for Brooklyn Jewry to maintain a community spirit here and interest itsell in this boro rather than in Manhat tan. He lauded the purpose of the federation's campaign. Instruction to the members of the pre-campaign solicitation committee, under whose auspices the luncheon was held, was given by Albert D.

O'NEIL. Radio drama, with television accompaniment, was put on the air yesterday for the first time in history, by Station at Schenectady and it was successfully received at nearby points and probably came through successfully on the Pacific Coast. Radio television as demonstrated yesterday was a pioneering success and it is bound to have a bright future, for reasons other' than those coupled with technical accomplishments. Adds to Women's Beauty. Television makes a woman appear more youthful and beautiful.

That was an outstanding feature of yes-1 terday demonstration, it acnumann-Heink should take her place before the television broadcasting apparatus she would undoubtedly appear in the receiving instruments as a sweet, sylph-like flapper. The actress who appeared in yesterday's television drama was Izotta Jewel, former star of the stage and now wife of Pro-fesor Hugh Miller of Union College. When seen in the transmitting studio she is what the English would term a buxom beauty, In the receiving instrument she appeared much more slender and possessed of a beauty which was hidden in the original by the makeup ingredients. The play in which she took part is "The Queen's Messenger." The other principal character was Maurice Randall. Made up as the John Bull type of Englishman he televised with remarkable clarity.

The transmitted pictures were viewed In a icceiver that resembles somewhat some of the smaller enclosed cone speakers. It is ogtagonal in shape, standing about 14 inches high, is 10 inches deep, has a couple of control knobs on the lower portion of the front panel, while on th3 upper part of the front panel is an aperture about three inches square Through this aperture the picture is viewed. Size of Picture Limited. Limited space on the broadcasting spectrum allotted to radio stations limits the size of the picture that can sent over the air, and this in tur.i limits the type of picture that can be satisfactorily transmitted. If too large an area is sent, all details disappear and the picture is wholly un-stlsfactory.

New Technique Necessary. Because of this limit on the size of the picture it was necessary to work out a new tecnnlque for putting the action of the play across to the audience. While each character had spoken parts, the likeness of that character appeared in the receiver aperture. The facial movements were perfectly synchronized with the spoken parts, which issued from a receiving set directly under the television receiver. Trops Ingeniously Employed.

In order to indicate action, props are used in an ingenious manner; for example, when the'Quccn's messenger took a drink a wine glass appeared and into it was poured some of the contents of a dark, long-neck bottle. To indicate time a watch dial appeared. Revolvers, keys, a mask, a packet of documents, were among the props used and by their use the action of the story was carried along very nicely. The technique of presentation was worked out by Mortimer Stewart. Three spotlights, three scanning machines, three microphones assortment of screens for backgrounds and a host of other apparatus, all of which had a more or less fantastic appearance, were grouped around Stewart, who had in front of him a mixing and control panel, by means of which he was able to put on the air tho scene appearing in front of any one of the three television machines.

Six Television Sets for Press. Six television receiving sets were oistribued around the WGY studios for the use of the newspapermen who were witnessing the experiment. These Wife, 49, Sued Says 'Ask "You can ask hint or his sweetheart for all the information you need," This was the opening, as well as the closing, remark of Mrs. Freda Simon, 203 Van Clcklcn ave, when she wa3 asked last night to comment on the action of her husband, Louis Simon, who has filed suit for divorce against her at Reno, Nev. Simon declared that his life was made miserable by nls wife's taunts about his youth and lack of worldly experience.
