Frederick Lewisohn. former County Judge Nah Rockwood of Saratoga and Frank J. Sllva. The injunction, obtained several days ago by the Attorney General, also was directed against the Wall Street Iconoclast, a weekly which the State charges was utilized in promotion' of the sale of the stock of the corporation, the prlnclpat mines of which were sold In bankruptcy proceedings for OOo, according to an affidavit of Deputy At.

Rockwood and Louis Marshall represented the defendants. They entered a general denial of the claims of the Attorney General, stating that no actual misrepresentations about the productivity of the mines had been made. Rice, owner of the Iconoclast, wss accused by the Altoney General of misrepresenting the value, production and earnings of the corporation, located In Colombia, South America, with the intention of attracting the public to the promotion, which Mr. Ottioger termed a "down-right fraud." NEW CHARGES FACE CAPTAIN BANNON IN LIQUOR SCANDAL McLaughlin Silent on Facts Found to Conflict With Police Officer's Story. Additional charges, not made public, have beon made against Police Capt.

Joseph Bannon, under suspension following allegations that he permitted rum runners to operate in Flatlands and Flgtbush while he waa captain of tho Vanderveer Park station. It waa learned last night- Captain Bannon, two sergeants and two patrolmen were accused in the origi-nalcharges. Police Commissioner McLaughlin said the new accusations are baaed on discrepancies between the story Bannon told at h(s oolice department trial and facts uncovered by gators of that story. The Commissioner, however, would not dlscuse the discrepancies. The charge against Bannon was made in September of laat year after an investigation by Inspector Valentine and his staff.

They alleged that rum runners and bootleggers were trucking loads of liquor every night through the lower part of Flatbuah and that although Bannon knew about It he never made an effort to stop It. It waa also asserted that the sergeants and the patrolmen named with him were cognizant of what was going op. The fle men were tried before Deputy Commissioner Kelley In Brooklyn headquarters and 'deck slon was reserved.

Edward Quotes Prisoner. During the course of the hearing today District Attorney Edwards brought out the fast that a man describing himself aa Antonio Costa of Manhattan, arrested two days'ago In jGarden City Park on charges of extortion and attempted extortion, had said to the authorities after his arrest that he "will turn Kings County, Queens County and Nassau County upalde down If the Federal people don't stick behlnd-me." The charge against Costa la that he extorted $100 from a Garden City shopkeeper and attempted to get a similar amount from another by posing aa a Federal agent. Costa Is U-ing held without ball until Monday. He may be brought Into the 5 PER CENT PER ANNUM COMPOUNDED SEMI-ANNUALLY Negotiations Held While Trial Goes On -Transit Co. Insists on Damages Negotiations are still under way between the city and the B.

M. T. looking toward a settlement of the latter'a 190.000.000 damage suit, despite the fact that trial of the action la already going on before Referee Graham Sumner, named by the Federal courts to take evidence. Martin Conboy is the special counsel of the. city in this action and Ruahmore, Biabee A Stern are acting for the B.

M. T. through their prior connection as counsel for Ltndley M. Gsjrrison when he. as receiver, originally brought the suit, charging that the company was entitled) to damages because the city had refuted to build the Nassau- Broad st.

link and delayed for a long period completion of the 1 4th st. Eastern dine and certain other operating and repair shop links In the system as originally contemplated. City SoHiS Release From Suit. Prior to beginning of testimony Chairman John H. Delaney of the city's Board of Transportation had been pictured as ready to build the Nassau-Broad link and it had been stated that thia work would be contracted for early this year: It was generally believed that this meant progress in negotiations toward a settlement of the suit out of court, the city, having taken the position that the action was based largtW on failure to build the Nassau-Broad link.

It was declared that once the city moved to build that line the ground would be cut from under the mainstay of the suit. However, when the action went to trial transit circles were informed that these negotiations had come to naught. In fact, a few days ago it was reported that the city had abandoned entirely Its plans to move Immediately for the construction of the link. This was promptly denied, and It now develops that, although the trial Is going on, the city and the company are still to reach a settlement. B.

M. T. Insists on Damages. The 1 Walker Administration, however, Is said to have taken, the position that It must get release from the suit as the price of building the Nasaau-Broad line. It is, however, no longer contended as Mayor Hylan did that the city was not under obligation to build the subway In question.

It Is recognized that it is part of the contract and that the city is under obligation to build it, although at the same time the city insists that it Is an "operating convenience," not a service necessity, and that even yet it cannot be held to have been delayed beyond the point where damage is sustained by the B. M. T. On the company side, however, It Is insisted that not only is It entitled to the line but that it was contemplated to build It in connection with other lines now in operation and that Its absence is a serious operating embarrassment. The company also lnaiats that lack of the Una reduces Its ability to give service that It can Increase by a large percentage the service through Brooklyn if it had the line.

It insists that It Is entitled to damages In some degree. even If the city starts right away to build the link. These damages. It la asserted, should cover a period subsequent to the olbso of the World' War to the present time less the period actually required for construction. Whether any compromise can be reached la.

not yet assured, the two cam-- declined-to make state-menta with respect to the negotiations In their present stage. BROOKLYN DOCTORS JIT MATERNITY ACT AS CUTTING BIRTHS "Specialized Medicine" Attacked by Medical Society as Offset to Women's Sup-. port. Eagle Bureau. 901 Colorado Building.

Washington, 8-i-The opposition of the Kings County Medical Society to the Federal maternity and infancy 'aid act and the pending bill to continue it in force for another two years was made part of the record of the Senate debate on this subject yestefday by Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut. Senator Bingham cited the opposition of the Medical Soolefy as. an offset to the support of the legislation given by the League of Women Voters of Brooklyn and placed In the record previously by Senator Copeland. The Brooklyn doctors disapprove of this Federal aid to 8tates to promote better motherhood on the ground that it results in a reduction of the birth rate. They also condemn the "spe-clallxed medicine" of the act.
