He did not name them nor hint their Identity, but he said he would deal with such factors individually. "I am confident that a proper and conservative disposition of the assets of the bank will yield more than sufficient to pay 100 cents on the dollar to every depositor," he continued.

Hoover Voices Grief Of Nation to France Cables Condolences to Doumergue German Press Praises Joffre, but Lays Defeat to General Staff's Mistakes Washington, Jan.

3 (P) Through all the official messages of condolence sent to France today on news of Marshal Joffre's death ran a note which showed the esteem in which the old warrior was held by American leaders and people. President Hoover, who was U. S. Aide of Ridley. Rich Eccentric, Is Found Slain Ajred Realtor Discovers Tragedy in Basement Office on Eal Side A strange figure is Edward Ridley beaded, silent, impressive, multi-millionaire son of the Ridley who founded New York's first department store.

At 83 he travels daily between his home at Fanwood, N. to a dark and musty sub-basement office, at 59 Allen In the heart of Manhattan's East Side. There, with a faithful secretaiy, he has for years carried on his having to do with large real estate holdings and collection of rents. Yesterday, a mysterious murder was added to the stoy of Ridley's eccentric life. He arrived at about 11:30 a.m.

and descended the dank, musty stairs to the lower basement. He entered the narrow office and turned to his ledgers. Herman Moench, his 60-year-old secretary, who had worked with him for more than half a century, was not yet there or apparently not. Finds Body on Floor That was unusual, for Moench was in the habit of preceding his employer to the office, and habits do not change easily for men of his age or Ridley's. Vaguely troubled.

Ridley looked around, saw a coat on the floor, lifted It, and found Moench himself slumped to the ground. The secretary had, he thought, fainted. He tried to revive him but failed. Ridley went up above, to the garage in the building, and summoned the garage owner, Harry Weinstein of 1737 73d St. Both men applied whatever first aid they might, but in vain.

Then a policeman was called and an ambulance from Gouverneur Hospital. Dr. Koern, who came with the ambulance, said the man was dead. It was not until two hours later, after Medical Examiner Weinberg had arrived and looked over the body, that two bullet wounds were found. One was in the chest and one in the abdomen.

There had been, apparently, no struggle and there was little bleeding. There had been no robbery. Victim Carried Revolver On the dead body of Moench, who lived at 137 Moffatt police found a gold watch, a diamond stickpin and $16 in ca.sh. He had carried a revolver, which was fully loaded. The man, according to the police, had been shot about two hours before his body was discovered.

The last person to have seen him alive was a garage employe, Johnson Reid, Negro, of 11 W. 12th Manhattan. He spoke to Moench at 9:30 a.m. Moench came to the Ridlcys, Mr. Ridley said, in 1879 as a cash boy.

He worked himself up in the concern to the position of cashier. When Mr. Ridley opened his real estate business in 1901 he took him along. Moench's son, Arthur, who lives at the Moffatt St. address with his mother and sister, could give no explanation of the shooting.

He said his father had quarreled with a Negro in Harlem recently, but he said he did not consider it was serious. Paris. Jan. 13 CP) All the world, no less than France itself, tonight mourned the passing of Marshal Jo eeph Jacques Joffre, savior of Paris in 1014, who died at a.m., to day, after a long and grim struggle against arteritis. His country, plunged in grief, was preparing to honor by a great national funeral the memory of one of the most illustrious soldiers of her history.

Marshal Joffre the Papa Joffre of the French poilu and of all his countrymen passed away peacefully the day before his 79th birthday. He had been critically ill more than a fortnight and Dec. 19 suffered the amputation of his left leg, which had become infected. Given up by his physicians as lost, he fought with amazing vitality and, although he had been unconscious mcst of the time for nearly a week before death came, he was able to arouse himself at times to smile at a friend or murmur a few words to Madame Joffe, who, throughout his Illness, remained almost constantly at his bedside. Wanted Modest Grave Definite plans for the funeral have not been made known, but if Joffre's wishes are respected he will lie, not like his illustrious comrade, Ferdinand Foch, under the great dome of the Hotel Des Invalides, but in a modest chapel in the grounds of his country home at Louvecl-ennes, high on a plateu overlooking the winding valley of the Seine.

Joffre's visit to the tomb of Washington in 1917, friends revealed tonight, Inspired him with the desire for a simple burial on his own homestead, La Chatalgnerie (Chestnut Grove), which he and Madame Joffre built and laid out. Col. Jean Fabry, the Marshal's aide during the war and his closest friend, said the old soldier often expressed the wish that Chestnut Grove would become another Mount Vernon and that there his collection of relics, gathered in more than forty years of military life, might be preserved. Body to tie in State Tonight his body lay in the bare, white plastered room in which he died at the Hospital of St. Jean de Dieu, Clad in a white dolman and the pold-buttoned uniform of the French colonial armies'.

Tomorrow it will be transported to the chapel of the Ecole Mllitaire, old French army school, where Monday and Tuesday It will lie in state so that poilu and General, the average man of France and her statesmen may file past It and give a final salute to the kindly leader that all loved. The funeral will be on Wednesday. As they did for Foch, church and State will unite in ceremony and pagentry to express public the nation's grief. The service will be held in the Cathedral of Notre Dame and then through streets lined by the men who fought under his direction, the body of Joffre will be taken to the Invalides, where it will be placed temporarily in the chapel that shelters Napoleon, Foch and a whole host of France's greatest dead. To some the most impressive moment will be in the dusk of Tuesday night, when, on its way to Notre Dume, the body of the Marshal will rest for a moment beside that other hero of France, the Unknown Poilu.

Ceremony Brief The ceremony will be brief, for joffre wished it to be that way. There will be a silent salute. The bugles will sound "aux champs" the and the coi tege will pass on The condolences of the entire world poured in today to Madame Joffre and to the French Government. Kings, governments and private individuals have sought to express their sorrow. Throughout Paris and France flags are at half staff.

At Rivesaltes, Joffre's birthplace, all work was suspended and the town went into mourning. But none could be more grateful to the memory of the Marshal than the people of the Marne Valley, where he won the great victory of his career, or of the Parisians, for whom he turned away disaster. Thousands of them prayed for him throughout his illness and thousands today again prayed for the repose of his soul. Paris was touched at the public utterances of sorrow that came from every country, and none were more gratefully received than those from Germany, where some of his ancient enemies honored his simple-hearted patriotism. THE EAGLE INDEX Judge Brodsky Ordered ly Appellate Division to Show Cause Friday Why He Should Not He Ousted Hilly Drops Appeal on Pay The Appellate Division in Manhattan yesterday ordered Magistrate Louis B.

Brodsky, who is under suspension, to appear before it Friday to show cause why he should not be removed from office. The action followed the report Issued Friday by Referee Snmuel Seabury and the order followed the findings of the referee. Brodsky was charged with actions during his Judicial service held to constitute grounds for his removal and Including engaging in business during his term as magistrate In violation of Section 102 of the inferior courts laws. Controller Ready to Pay The order was signed after the city, through Controller Berry and after a flip-flop on the part of Corporation Counsel Hilly, had agreed to pay the bills of the lawyers aiding Referee Seabury and Chief Counsel Isidor J. Kresel without further legal battling.

The Corporation Counsel received word of Supreme Justice Callahan's decision upholding the constitutionality of the probe early in the day with an announcement that he would immediately appeal. Controller Berry announced at the same time that he would pay the bills without further quibbling. It was after the Controller's announcement that Hilly decided that he would not appeal, after all. Political and City Hall circles buzzed with reports that Hilly had been "advised" to change his tactics after the first announcement, and that the administration was nettled by criticism of Its alloged efforts to hamstring the Inquiry. "If Mr.

Berry is going to pay," Hilly said, "I won't have anything to appeal about. I will have no client." Hilly took the attitude that the Controller had simply asked him Please Turn to Paje 3 Examiner Holds Man In Slaying of Woman Yonkers, Jan. 3 Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester County Medical Examiner, today held Raymond F.

Roddy, 26, of 84-86 110th Richmond Hill, Queens, on a charge of homicide in connection with the fatal shooting Wednesday of Miss Margaret Hooper. 26. in the Towers Hotel, Yonkers. Dr. Squire's decision after he held an inquest came as a surprise to the police and members of the District Attorney's staff, who had declared they were satisfied with Roddy's story that the shooting was accidental and that it was likely the only charge to be pressed against him would be one of vio lation of the Sullivan law.

Receiver Asked For Helt Line Ry. The Central Hanover Bank Trust Company yesterday began proceedings in the Manhattan Su preme Court against the property of. the Belt Line Railway Corporation, which operates the 59th St. crosstown route, to foreclose, as trustee, a first mortgage of 000 held by the bank since Jan. 31 1913.

Macy Secretive When the conference on the top floor of the Hotel Ten Eyck broke up shortly before 5 o'clock, Macy came out, a battered portfolio in his hand. Asked for the consensus of the meeting, he laughed and replied: "All I can say is that the 24 mem bers of the executive committee turned out 100 percent. The meeting was permeated with harmony." He added that a statement would be forthcoming tomorrow and that the committee had authorized him to put Its views into writing.

The prosecutor had re quested the police court Investigator to appear before him for prelim inary questioning, and also to bring records of his connection with the bank and its affiliates. Reports that Superintendent, of Banks Joseph A. Broderick, who closed the bank on Dec. 11, would be the first witness called, could not be confirmed, but they were not denied by the superintendent. While the Grand Jury probe gets under way, Referee Robert P.

Stephenson is scheduled to continue his examination into the financial entanglements of the closed bank in the Federal Government's efforts to locate the assets of the bank's four bankrupt affiliates the Bankus Tlease Turn to rage i Graft Charged As New Order Hits At Buses Cropsey Writ Against Illegal Lines Served On Mayor and Aides Accompanying service of another court order upon the city to halt the illegal operation of emergency buses, J. Gibson Fruln, Manhattan lawyer for John Pape, the complainant, issued a long statement last night, attacking the city authorities bitterly lor permitting continuance of the outlaw lines and charging favoritism and graft. The new action is a mandamus issuing from Supreme Court Justice Cropsey's Court and served upon Mayor Walker, Police Commissioner Mulrooney and Plant and Structures Commissioner Goldman, directing them to enforce the provisions of the transportation corporations law which forbids the operation of bus lines without franchises from the city and certificates irom the State-Transit Commission. Corporation Counsel Arthur J. W.

Hilly said he would appeal Monday as a means of staying operation of the writ and allowing the buses to continue until the city has passed out regular franchises. Other Recent Court Moves There have been several other court actions started recently to halt the illegal buses.

Hart, Now Long Overdue Tradewind, Sighted 300 Miles from Island, Is Believed Down at Sea Norfolk, Jan. 3 M5) The trans-Atlantic plar? Trade-Wind landed at the Hampton Roads Naval air station here tonight at 9:25 o'clock. The seaplane Tradewind, bear ing Lt. William S. Maclaren and Mrs.

Beryl Hart on a projected cargo plane trip from New York to Paris, by way of Bermuda and the Azores, had not reached Bermuda as darkness fell last night, according to thj Associated Press, and it was believed they had come down somewhere on the sea. The Navy Department was asked last night to aid in a search for Mrs. Hart and Maclaren. Naval radio communications also were urged to broadcast a request to shipping along the route of the plane to maintain a lookout for flares or other signals. The Trade-wind carried no wirfcless.

Visibility Poor Since Bermuda is a small spot in a large ocean, difficult to find by daytime in the best of conditions, and with visibility poor there yesterday, experienced pilots felt the fliers may have missed their mark and were compelled to drop to the surface. When the Tradewind left on the 649-mile lap from North Beach, N. to Hamilton, it carried 250 gallons of gasoline. Lieutenant Mac-Laren estimated this was good for 1,450 miles. It would have been Insufficient for them to have passed Bermuda and gone on to the Azores, which are about 2,741 miles frdm New York.

The fliers left North Beach at 5:30 a.m. E. S. between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. They were sighted in the same general area about 373 miles southeast of New York by the liners Pan America, Britannic and Bermuda, but thereafter were unreported and had not reached Hamilton by 5 p.m.

Gahagan, head of the engineering firm which bears his name, whose $1,315,000 estate must be divided under the intestate laws unless a will is found, drew a document disposing of his fortune within a few years of his death, the Eagle learned yesterday. A search Is being conducted by members of the Gahagan family, who believe that Mr. Gahagan may have wished to bequeath legacies to persons or institutions who will not share in the estati unless the document is found. The size of the estate became known yesterday when Surrogate Wingate granted letters of administration to Mrs. Lillian R.

Gahagan, widow, of 17 Prospect Park West, and two sons, William C. and Frederick M. Gahagan. Apctition calling for the administration rights asked that the letters be issued to the sons, in addition to the widow, because of their knowledge of Mr. Gahagan's business alfairs.

Search Fails The petition to the surrogate for administration letters said that a diligent search had failed to produce a will. A member of the family told the Eagle yesterday that it has been established a will was drawn but that lt Is considered likely the document was destroyed and that none other was substituted. As things stand one-third of the estate will go to the widow and the remaindet will go in equal shares to five children. In addition to the two sons already mentioned they are: Helen Gahagan, the actress; Walter H. Gahagan both of whom live at 17 Prospect Park West, and Mrs.

Lillian G. Walker of 38 Montgomery Place. Althouqh papers filed with the petition for letters of administration said that Mr. Gahagan left no real estate, a member of his family said yesterday that his property consisted chiefly of realty in Brooklyn and Queens.
