Beginning in a small way, in 1893, we now occupy all of the third and a part of the fourth floors, and employ twenty-four people. The main reason for this remarkable development (remarkable for a dental practice) is summed up in the one word, Specialization.

Court Square RECEIVERSHIP ENDS IN COMMONWEALTH CORPORATION SUIT, With provision made for the protection of stockholders by representation on the board of directors, Justice Russell Benedict in Supreme Court today discharged Warren I. Lee as receiver of the Commonwealth Finance Corporation and allowed discontinuance of the suit brought by Bernard B. Badgley, a stockholder, who alleged that something like $7.500,000 of the concern's assets had been dissipated by "bad management and bad investments." Mr. Badgley brought suit in behalf of himself and other stockholders on a committee that was formed when alleged discovery was made that the former officers had shoveled out the firm's millions on second and third mortgage investments of what was described as "already heavily overloaded real estate." Henry D. Tudor, Charles C.

Dickson, Harry L. Burrage, Theodore L. Weed, L. M. Umsted and N.

A. Merritt, identified with the former regime, were also named as defendants. Mr. Lee, who was appointed as receiver, took charge of the Manhatfan office at 100 Broadway, Manhattan, and found there was no assets in this State. Another proceeding was brought in Washington, D.

Mr. Lee also being appointed recelver there, and it was discovered that about all the vast assets of the corporation had been pledged as 80- curity in transactions in this city, Washington and Philadelphia. The stockholders and creditors at conference concluded that further litigation and receivership might further impair the assets, which amount to many millions of dollars, and it was decided that the best Plan for all would be to have Mr. made a director, instead of receiver. Maj.

Samuel J. Rosensohn, attorney for the stockholders committee, was also made a director, as was Richard Deming, vice president of the American Surety Company, one of the heaviest creditors. This plan was laid before Justice Benedict, who said it was a happy solution of the difficulties, and on a report that Messrs. Lee, Rosensohn and. Deming had been elected to the directorate and that they had promised to prosecute actions against former officers or directors of the corporation who might be guilty of mis.

management, he discharged the receiver and terminated the court proceedings. MARCUS GARVEY'S CONVICTION UPHELD IN APPEALS COURT The conviction of Marcus Garvey, self-styled leader of the negro race of the world and provisional president of Africa, was affirmed today by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Garvey was convicted in June, 1923, on an indictment charging use of the mails in a scheme to defraud in connection with the sale of stock of the Black Star Line, at $5 a share, and was sentenced by Federal Judge Julian Mack to five vear9 in Atlanta penitentiary and to pay a fine of $1,000. The persons indicted with Garvey were acquitted and Garvey himself was convicted on only one count. In affirming the conviction Judge Hough said: may be true that Garvey fancied himself a.

Moses, if not a Messiah; but with this assumed, it renains true that if his gospel consisted in part of exhortations to buy worthless stock, accompanied by decedvingly false statements as to the worth thereof, he was guilty of a scheme or artifice to defraud." Assistant United States Attorney Maxwell S. Mattuck, who prosecuted Garvey, said he was going to use every effort to get Garvey in Atlanta as quickly as possible. "POOKY" LETTERS FACE VAN IN SUIT FOR HEART BALM For seven years Billy B. Van, comedian of the stage and screen, made love by telegram to pretty Ray Meyhr of the vaudeville team of Smith and Austin. Now Miss Meyhr is suing in Supreme Court in Queens County for $150.000 heart balm.

The actress, testifying before Justice Faber and a jury today, produced a sheaf of letters and telegrams which were read one by one. All were couched in endearing terms and worded in d. particularly romantic vein. WIt God is good to us, this will be our last Christmas he wired from Kalamazoo on Dec. 24, 1919.

A week later sent her New Year's greetings: hope the new He, year will bring us untold happiness. You just keep well. Nothing else matters." know you are a good little woman," he wired on another occa.sion. "The more 1 see of other women with their painted faces, the more am I reminded that they refleet their painted minds. There is no other woman in the world for me but you, Pooky." Miss Keyhr testified that she had met Van at Rockaway Beach in the summer of 1916.

Their friendship ripened into love but there was the obstacle of his wife. He reiterated his promise to marry her as 3 soon as he could obtain divorce. When finally he obtained his divorce, she testified. he married Miss Grace of Syracuse. This marriage took place in September, 1923.

George Medalie, attorney for Van, produced a letter written by the actress releasing from all obligations to her. The letter was dated July 25, 1923, and told Van he could "marry when where he pleased." MORSES LOSE FIGHT UPON LEGALITY OF FRAUD CASE ARREST Supreme Court Upholds sion of Lower Tribunals. Other Decisions Given Out. Wasington, Feb. 2-Benjamin W.

and Harry F. Morse, songs of the shipbuilder, Charles W. Morse, today lost in the Supreme Court their contest against the legality of their arrest several months ago in New York. The Morses had been indicted in New York with twenty-one others on the charge of conspiring to use the mails to defraud, and they were arrested when they passed through from New England on their way to Washington to stand trial on a separate indictment pending against them here. They contended they were immune while proceeding to answer to charges against them in another judicial district, but both the lower courts and the Supreme Court held that their arrest had been legal.

G. 0. P. IN 5 BOROS ARE AT ODDS OVER MAYORALTY PLANS There is a woeful lack of co-opaeration among city, Republicans in their "fight" to oust Mavor Hylan from the City Hall. In fact, it was learned today, all the big leaders of the five boros are working at odds.

"I have never been consulted by any of the leaders from the other boros about the mayoralty campaign," Jacob A. Livingston, Republican county leader, admitted to The Eagle today, He scoffed at the attempts of Samual S. Koenig, chairman of the Manhattan County Committee, to start the campaign now. "It is entirely too early," Mr. Livingston, said.

"We will not appoint our advisory committee of 125 until next month. There is plenty of time for that committee, and we will get the campaign under way when the time comes." But the Manhattan Republicans think otherwise. Former Senator Nathaniel A. Elsberg, chairman of New York's Advisory Committee, today definitely asserted that his committee would consult with other like bodies in the five boroughs. Last night he announced the personnel of seven sub-committees whose aim, he said, will be to "plan an attack upon the Mayor." Koenig Is Waiting.

"We will consult when we can." Mr. Koenig declared, when asked about the relations of his Manhattan committee with the Brooklyn leaders. "We are waiting on admitted to discuss that the he matter had steps with Mr. Livingston. Then Nicholas Murray Butler, president of, Columbia University, chairman of the Manhattan committee on policies and platform, recently spoken of as the most available candidate for the mayoralty nomination because of his "wide grasp of the political situation," added his comment to the confused I situation.

"I thought the Brooklynites had already appointed their committee, he declared when asked to define the steps' he would take to co-operate with the other leaders. "Your statement that they have not is news me." $120,000 GIVEN UP BY EXPRESS CROOK; PROMISES $80,000 Pleading guilty to six of seven indictments alleging grand larceny in the first degree, Philip Weisenthal, 30, importer, of 674 W. 161st Manhattan, turned over to Judge Alfred J. Talley General Sessions, Manhattan, today, $120,000 in cash and securities and promised the return of $80.000 more impounded in London under his control. Sentence was susspended by Judge Talley on the six indictments and Weisenthal was released on $5,000 bail on the seventh Indictment pending his return from London with satisfactory proof that he has complied with the conditions of his release--the return of the $80.000.

Weisenthal was arrested in this city in April, 1923, on the complaint of the American Express Company. It was alleged that Weisenthal in connivance with two employees of the express company, by means of inflated drafts and invoices obtained from the express company upward of a quarter of a million ATONEMENT CHURCH MORTGAGE BURNED The mortgage on the P.

"There is a time coming when America will be tried in the the Bishop said, "And at that time, when our national institutions are threatened with destruction: when rights of man are scorned and -property rights disregarded, it will not be the secret societies nor the police force that will save the country, but it will be the church people who have learned to respect the moral laws and worship Jesus Christ las their savior and their God." 275 Auto Puzzle Solvers Are Eager to Continue Gradually the full quota of the 400 and more perfect Eagle automobile puzzle solvers who wish to compete in the elimination contest or desire their pro rata shares of the $500 cash prizes is being reached. Another large batch of replies was received in today's mail, sending the total beyond the 300 mark. The same ratio of those who desire to continue in the competition to those who wish to withdraw has been maintained. Exactly 275 wish to remain In the contest; 40 request checks for $1.19.

It is desired that those who have not yet responded to the call send in their intentions at once in order that the first of the elimination puzzles be published and the great battle ceed.

East New York's 'Boy Garden Speaker, Groomed To Be Communist Leader It developed today that Morris Spector, the 14-year old Brooklyn schoolboy who astonished throng 15,000 in Madison Square Garden last night with remarkable burst dis of extemporaneous "red" oratory, hag had to be curbed by his teacher, MORRIS SPECTOR. Miss Mary E. Doherty, in the history discussions because of his radical ideas. Mis Doherty said that she was careful lest any of the communist views of Morris be instilled into the minds of the other pupils. The boy's coolness, self-possession and fiery oratory, startled the crowded Garden inasmuch as he is a mere stripling, but today Morris denied that anyone had coached him, notwithstanding Benjamin Gitlow, who sat near him was seen to whisper to him when he hesitated.

In Public School 149, East New York, Morris ranks second in a class of 40, but he has not been an outstanding figure in public speaking. Outside of school he is the New York leader of the Junior Section of the Young Workers Party in America. He is sober, retiring, unemotion- MAKE CONEY HOTEL COMMUNITY AFFAIR, PLAN OF SPONSORS Chamber of Commerce to cide on Course of Action at Today's Meeting. A hotel which will add dignity to the community, enhance its reputation and stand as a credit to this part of the country is practically assured for Coney Island. This much became known today in advance of the meeting of the Coney Island Chamber of Commerce, scheduled for 3:30 o'clock this afternoon.

Matters have progressed to the point where the site for the future hotel has been selected and the property taken ever and paid for.

Nash is the president; was set to take place in the Coney Island Bank, the headquarters of the Chamber. During the past year, under the leadership of Edward Tilyou, proprietor of have Steeplechase Amusement Park, plans been in the making for the big hotel and several hotel corporations have become interested.

The Kenneth-Ketchum Associates, the same concern which made a survey for the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, have completed a survey for the Coney a Island chamber. They have felt out the sentiment of the shopkeepers and the residents generally in the various sections of the island and submitted their report, which has not. yet been accepted. It is understood that some of the members of the chamber thought the estimate was too high. Members of the chamber would like to see the enterprise made a community affair in which everyone at the island would take an interest.

It was pointed out today that the scheme was too large for ten or a dozen members to swing and it is hoped to get the whole island to sponsor it. The building of a large hotel at Coney Island would be the first stride toward making the island a. rival of Atlantic City and an all year resort. Edward Tilyou, William J. Ward, Dr.

Nash and Samuel Gompertz, all leading business men of the island, are the pioneers in the enterprise and are all working to further the welfare of the island so that it will be on as high a plane as any Atlantic seaboard resort.

and 16th Paul Nathanson of 1182 43d st. collapsed at his desk. Fellow classmates carried him to a rest room. But before the arrival of Dr. Rachon of the Swedish Hospital the boy died.

Dr. Rachon said death was caused by heart trouble. Paul, who was 15, just entered his third term in high school today. Although, it was said at school, he had complained to friends of feeling 111 as he entered the school building, he was pleasurably excited over the prospect of his new and higher classwork. Nathanson was the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Samuel Nathanson and is survived by his brother. The mother told that Paul had dressed in his best suit this morning to make an Impression nt his new class and had been very happy as he left for school. less in school. But this retiring lad, it appears, is being carefully nursed along by the radical leaders in America in the hope that he will play a large role in their movement.

Morris is long on thought and short on normal play according to the picture he draws of himself. His mother says that he spends his after -school hours in "studies." He reads the works of abstruse thinkers such a8 Karl Marx and Nietsche and much current soviet propaganda takes the place ball and his effects. Notwithstanding that the stripling's oratorical light has been hidden under a bushel during his school hours and even his principal was unaware of his existence until he had made inauiries prompted by a reporter, "Morris spoken before large assemblages before. He spoke to 2.000 during the last Presidential campaign, when he campaigned for William Z. Foster.

There were 15,000 at Madison Square Garden last night, where speaker after speaker denounced capitalism and eulogized Lenin. Spector, his manner much in contrast to his fiery utterances, harangued in part as follows: "Down with Capitalism, down with its system; up with the Soviet shouted the boy, while, the audience cheered. He wore a brown flannel shirt, open at the front, a red and black tie and hitched his knickerbockers higher as stepped to the platform. "Friends and comrades," he began, are gathered here to do honor to our comrade, Nikolai Lenin, on the anniversary of his death. He was the leader of the toiling masses of the world.

Lenin is dead, but Leninism will never die. "What does it mean? It means that no longer will the little bones of children be ground to make yellow gold for greedy capitalists. "When Lenin was struck down by the traitorous hand of the yellow Socialists, the working class was thrown into grief. It is our duty to get the working children into the fight against the capitalist system. It is our duty to get these children into the class struggle.

We are doing our part, you do yours." PEACE UNION PUTS BAN ON RED CROSS AS CONDONER OF WAR Refuses to Aid Its Work-Red Cross Executive Here Denies Charge. Mrs. Orr. Denies Red Cross Condones. The American Red Cross has been tabooed by the Woman's Peace Union, devoted to the abolition of war, on the ground that it "supports or condones war." The members of the peace union are asked to sign a pledge against all participation in anything that would aid war.

The last phrase of the pledge reads, "or helping by money or work any relief organization which supports or condones war." When Mrs. Mary T. Orr, a. Brooklyn member of the "political committee" of the peace union, was asked if the Red Cross was included by the above phrase, she said: "I'm afraid it is." "Then it means that the Woman's Peace Union will not support the Red Cross," said the reporter. "Yes, that is what is meant," said At the Brooklyn Chapter of the Ited Cross, Mrs.

William Denny Sargent, executive secretary said, today: "The Red Cross is the last organization to support or condone war, for we use every possible means through lines education along international to prevent war. This is especially true in our Junior Red Cross. These ladies who take such a pledge can hardly afford, it seems to me. to refuse to support their Government, and should realize that the Red Cross is the official voluntary relief branch of Government. would just as quickly think of opposing our President or Congrese as to an official branch of the Government.

"The dollar paid to the Red Cross is really no different from taxes paid to the Government except that it is voluntary. Point of View Termed Arbitrary. "The Woman's Peace Union has taken a somewhat arbitrary point of view against which there is really no argument. In our charter our aims are laid out as mitigation of suffering in time of war or disaster and studying and taking steps for the prevention of the same. There is absolutely nothing in our charter, teaching or work that would mean that we supported or condoned war." Mrs.

Marion Foster, head of Home Service Department of the Brooklyn Chapter, whose chief work at present is assisting veterans and their families, said: "This whole question is one of individual interpretation. If these ladies believe that we condone war It is their privilege to refuse us their support. We do not condone war any more than we condone earthquakes, but when they come we step in to relieve suffering caused." "How would you answer the argument that the Red Cross by furnishing surgical dressings. nurses other relief supplies made war easier by lessening suffering?" was asked Mrs. Sargent.

"That interpretation is purely individual one," she replied. would be better, if the question really becomes a serious issue, to have the answer come from the Washington headquarters, as the Red Cross and the Woman's Peace Union are national organizations."

WILLIAM J. AHERN, Trust Officer Williamsburg Bridge Plaza "BIG END" OF OIL SCANDAL FOUND BY U. S. COUNSEL (Continued from Page. 1.) against Fall on charges growing out of the deal with a "dummy" Canadian oil company, through which $90,000 in Liberty Bonds came into Fall's possession.

Harry F. Sinclair was one of the chief associates in this company, and it is believed, in spite of strict secrecy surrounding the Grand Jury proceedings that new charge is being sought against Sinclair for his part in the operations of the Continental Trading Company, of Canada. The feeling is growing that Pomerene and Roberts have discovered the "big the oil scandal in the organization and operation of this "dummy" Canadian concern. It is hinted that Fall may have come into possession of far more than the 000 in Liberty Bonds already traced. Three important witnesses wanted by United ed States Government in this case are Europe, beyond American jurisdiction.

These are H. S. Osler, Canadian attorney, who helped organize the company, now a reported hunting big game in Africa; James O'Neil of Independence, Kansas, former president of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, now on the French Riviera, and H. M. Blackmer of the Midwest Oil Company, now in Paris.

The two latter companies are Standard Oil subsidiaries. On New Trails. These were the big men of the Continental Trading Company, through which Fall got $90,000 in bonds. Martin Littleton, counsel for Harry F. Sinclair, charged that the Senate committee which investigated the oil scandals violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution when it sought to compel Sinclair to produce private books and papers and testify with respect to them.

The charge was made in the course of a legal argument to quash the indictment for contempt of the Senate lodged against Sinclair by the Senate after he had refused to answer certain questions. The argument was made before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals today. The Fourth Amendment is the one which states that the "right of persons to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated." Congress Wrong, He Charges. Congress, Littleton declared, claimed that it had this power because it was necessary to the discharge of its duties as a lawmaking body. He cited court decisions to show that Congress had no authority at all to investigate any private matter whatsoever.

One was an opinion by Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court, who said that "neither branch of the legislative department possesses or can be invested with general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen."

Teddy was brought into court in the dazzling and highly colored feminine apparel which he donned last night in his quest for the spotlight. He had a blond wig, yellow and black tailored suit, raccoon coat and satin pumps.

Patrolman Nathan Blumberg of the Poplar st. station charged the actor with disorderly conduct in putting on his spectalty in a crowded Manhattan Bridge trolley car. His act threw the passengers into an uproar and the conductor summoned the cop. The latter looked over the impersonator's shoes, size and refused to be tolled. "I need booking, and friends told me I could get it if I pulled a good trick to get into print," Teddy told the court.

"You can think over your good trick for a then," said the magistrate, imposing sentence. 2 CHILDREN DROWNED Riverhead, L. Feb. 2-Felix, 7. and Frances Latinski, 8.

Considering the calibre of the suecessful solvers, the originator of the automobile cross-word problem has concluded that he had to go the limit of his ingenuity in order to make the remainder of the contest worthy of the competitors' abilities. Yet the probabilities are that the elimination series will be closed and the reduction of the field prove one of the rarest battles to date in the cross world.

Practically all those who are remaining in the competition are just aching to get busy at once. It behooves the tardy ones to get in line as soon as possible, if not sooner, or else state their desire to receive their pro rata share of the original prize money. Then, let the battle go on..
