FLEEING GUNMAN KILLED BY A COP IN RUNNING FIGHT Angelo Morral Shot While Escaping After Wounding Peter Luisi. What was represented to the police as A quarrel over the disposition of tickets to an Italian benefit opera, but what detectives believe, under a more searching probe, will be shown to be an ice dealers' feud, started gunplay in the Ocean HIll section shortly before midnight, with the result that Peter Luisi, 36, 179 Buffalo is in a critical condition in Mary's Hospital, while his assailant was shot and killed by Patrolman Henry Olsen of the Atlantic ave, station, after a running fight. The dead man is Angelo Morral, 38, 98 E. Houston Manhattan, an ice dealer.

He was run down by the patrolman a and another pursuer at Ralph and Atlantic aves. and shot by Olsen when he attempted to draw his revolver on the officer. Four shots were fired, one taking effect in Moral's brain. Morral died as he was being removed to St. Mary's Hospital.

Luisi told the men, DiSanto said, that he had been unable to dispose of the tickets, and handed them to Morrai. An argument between his fatherin-law and the three men followed, according to DiSanto, and resulted in Morral pulling a revolver from nis overcoat pocket and firing two shots, of which lodged in Luisi's back and the other grazing his head. The three men then ran out of the tenement to the street, their shots having aroused the neighborhood.

They were seen by Joseph Rocano of 175 Buffalo who gave chase as the three turned into Atlantic ave. Rocano was threatened by Morral, he said, pointed his revolver at him, if he did not give up the chase, but ran to Fulton st. and summoned Patrolman Olsen. Officer's Story of Shooting. The patrolman and Rocano commandeered a touring and overtook the fugitives as they turned down Ralph ave.

Olsen, according to the story told by himself, Rocano and the driver of the car, commanded the three to halt and Morral reached for the pocket in which he carried, his revolver. Olsen was quicker on the draw and had fired four shots from the running board of the machine before Morral could bring his gun out. After questioning Di Santo, detectives of the Atlantic ave. station learned the identity of Morral's two companions, who are also said to be in the ice business. Di Santo told the detectives that the three were business enemies of Luisi.

LOURIA REPLIES TO MONS. BELFORD Dr. Alexander L. Louria, 149 New York son of the late Dr. Leon Louria, made the following ment this morning concerning charges recently made by Mons.

John L. Belford, rector of the R. C. Church of the Nativity, against the membership of the Kings Medical Society and against the medteal profession generally: "At the outset let me apologize for Dr. Belford, for an apology is due.

Were the medical profession to answer in kind it would cite the isolated instances wherein now and then one in the clerical garb has deviated from the paths of righteousness and committed some heinous crime, a8 authentically ra. corded in our court records. To do so would undermine the faith of the public, not in religion, but in the clergy, Mons. Belford's attack undermines both medicine and the doctor and furthers the way of the charlatan and faker. am convinced that this was not his intent, but, nevertheless, it 1s what he accomplishes.

He has predi(cated a tirade on one or two incidents which may or may not be true. (1 do not impugn Mons. Belford's integrity, but his gullibility.) There never justification for insult by innuendo. Dr. Frank D.

Jennings has properly characterized Dr. Belford'8 wanton attack as 'mallcious and McCORMACK, BETTER, LEAVES FOR MIAMI New Orleans, Feb. 10, -The condition of John McCormack, the tenor, whose engagements for the remainder of February have been postponed until next month, was said by attending physicians to be improyed today.

CLARK STREET BROOKLYN Typical Day's Work Done By Three Justices Who Now Seek Boosts in Salary Early in the 1925 session of the Legislature a bill providing for certain reforms in the Municipal courts and also for an increase from $9,000 to $12,000 in the salaries of the justices was introduced by Assemplyman Joseph F. Ricca of Brooklyn. In the spring of 1923 the Legis.

lature, at the request of the Livingston and McCooey machines, passed a bill providing for four additional Municipal Court justices in this district. Although the Brooklyn Bar Association approved this bill, which would have added $160,000 to the expenses of the taxpayers, Governor Smith vetoed it, saying he would not increase the number of justices so long as the Municipal Court remained on the statute books as it was. The Governor recommended the appointment of a commission to study the Municipal Court and suggest revision of the code. This was done, and last year, after a long study, the commission submitted a report, and a bill containing, among other provisions, a salary increase for the justices. This bill was defeated.

Early this year the Republican Executive Committee of Kings County directed Edward H. Wilson of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club to form a committee of lawyers and draw up a new bill. The resulting measure was the one introduced by Ricca. It has the approval of the Municipal Court justices. In order to ascertain what justification there may be for the salary increase provision in the bill, The Eagle last week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, sent reporters to each of the seven district courts to make a survey of the amount of work accomplished.

The Atlantic Beach Associates, the corporation that owns the sand strip in the sea and is seeking to connect it with the mainland, has shut in part of the Home's property and will eventually shut off the beach which is used by the crippled children who are at the Home.

Miss Goldsmith, who is head of the Home and has now taken up her residence there to personally fight further encroachments and to overthrow the bridge project, has laid the matter before the Governor and before the State and city federations of women's clubs. "They are backing me unanimously," she said while waiting for the argument to proceed.

Works Overtime, Says Law. Judge on bench 5 hours 5 minutes. Four cases heard, 3 disposed of. Justice Law said: "On the whole there is less work off the bench in jury term than when the court is sitting without a jury. During jury term the jury decides the facts and the judge must present the law to the jury extemporaneously in most cases.

There is more work off the bench when the court is sitting without a jury because the justice has opportunity to 1ook up the law outside court.

Dunne's Statement. Justice Dunne said: "I am in favor of an increase in salaries for Municipal Court Justices. The cause of the delay in hearing of cases at present is the fact that jury trials are now being demanded for many petty cases which were formerly heard by the justice, and jury trials cause delay because of the hearing of witnesses and the time the jury requires for deliberation. There is a crying need for more Municipal Court Justices."

The queer vessel arrived in the Bay of Kiel after a 68-hour trip, during which the severity of the storm made it virtually impossible for her to use the revolving towers which take the place of sails, and she was obliged to use her auxiliary engines. The Captain expressed satisfaction with the manner in which the ship had withstood the heavy sea. The builders say they are also satisfied with performance of the ship.

Today the Buckau is expected to proceed across the North Sea to Scotland after being fitted with wireless. Whether the rotorship negotiated the storm as successfully as a sailing vessel might have done under the same conditions is not made clear in the dispatches, which say that the auxiliary power was used during almost of the return voyage. tall OBITUARIES MRS.

16, CORONA, HELD FOR ASSAULT Accused of Striking and Chok. ing Boy Pupil Denies the Charge. Principal Henry Gottlieb of P. S. 16, Albertus Corona, L.

was held for the Court of Special Sessions, today, by Magistrate Lawrence Gresser on a charge of assault in the third degree made by John H. Scholes 14, of 22 Casper Corona, a student. The principal was permitted to go on his own recognizance. The boy said that last Friday, Feb. 6, Gottlieb struck him and choked him while he was on the stairway of the school leading from the second to the third floor and uttered the threat, "If you say another word I'll give you the worst beating you ever had." Principal Denies Charge.

Gottlieb took the stand and denied that he had struck the boy. He. explained that some of the school boys had been tampering with the fire alarm bell, and that he concluded to station himself in the basement in order to watch and see who was doing it. While he was watching, he said, he saw the Scholes boy press the button of the fire alarm, shouted at him and prevented him from pressing it a second time. There were 1,800 pupils in the school, he testified, and he feared that the alarm might cause a panic.

He declared that he followed the boy upstairs, took him by the arm and led him downstairs, so that he might again watch the bell. Another boy, according to the principal, had rung the bell before Scholes, and he had written letters to the parents of both boys, telling them of the circumstance. The parents of the other boy, Michael Mideo, 11, had punished him, but the Scholes boy's parents went to the school in an aggressive attitude. Stepfather Boy's Counsel. The stepfather of the boy, Frederick W.

Hamburg, a lawyer, conducted the examination of the principal, who turned toward him suddenly and said: "You are trying to get the boy out of trouble by bulldozing me." The principal called as a witness the Mideo boy, who admitted that he rang the bell the first time and that Scholes had rung it afterward. Somebody informed on him, he said. Stephen Bayne, District Superintendent of Schools, testified that Gottlieb had an excellent record. When he had heard all the evidence, Magistrate Gresser said: "This is a case which I don't feel I have the right to determine. I am going to pass it to the Special Sessions Court to find out who is telling the truth." CADMAN INDORSES DRIVE Cross Cemetery.
