s- tu v. BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1931. VANISH ON HOP ACROSS SEA Hoover Crime House Groun Brooklyn's Puzzle-How to Get a Punch (Brooklyn's population now is 2,560,000, which is nearly 700,000 more than that of Manhattan.) Ni Hi -E'Xt-rS QUERY What is the best single thing to do to make effective Brooklyn's great strength? ANSWERED today by Manasseh Miller. We should take advantage of Brooklyn's phenomenal growth by ridding ourselves of our inferiority complex and realizing that what caa be done elsewhere can be done in Brooklyn. Forget that we are close to New York.

With all our great manufacturing institutions and commercial enterprises, with our banking facilities and hotels and amusement centers, there is no reason why we should not buy and sell and entertain in Brooklyn. We are growing in population. Let us likewise grow in importance commercially. To sum up in a few words, the best way to help Brooklyn is FIGHT FOR BROOKLYN. Buy, sell and entertain in Brooklyn.

Co-operate with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. Tomorrow's answer by William H. Todd. Mrs. Beryl Hart and Capt.

Ewald and his wife, Mrs. Bertha Ewald, charged with having bought a magistrate's appointment, at 12:25 o'clock this afternoon before Supreme Court Justice Philip J. Mc-Cook and a Jury. Counsel for the defendants said he would make no motions How but would reserve them. The Ewalds are accused of paying $10,000 to Martin J.

Healy, a Tammany leader. Frank O'Neil, the General Sessions court attendant, who last week ing his appointment, 'was under cross-examination today. When O'Neil took the stand last week he testified on direct examination by Special Prosecutor Hiram C. Todd, that during a conversation with Ewald, last April. Ewald told him he had paid $10,000 to Healy, and $2,000 to Dr.

Francis M. Schlrp, of the Steuben Society, for influence in obtaining his appointment, and that he was then considering the possibility of securing the seat on the Supreme Court bench left vacant by the retirement of Justice Joseph M. Proskauer. O'Neil was a witness at the second trial of Healy and Thomas T. Tom-maney, former chief clerk in the office of Sheriff Thomas M.

Farley, which ended as did the first in the Jury's disagreement. At that time O'Neil said nothing about the alleged transaction. Lawyer Grills O'Neil O'Neil was questioned this morning by Sydney A. Syme, trial counsel for the Ewalds, who spent some time in establishing the date- on which O'Neil said he learned that Mrs. Ewald had made charges against him before the Federal Grand Jury which investigated the Cotter Butte mines case.

O'Neill's failure to disclose his alleged conversations with Ewald at the second Healy trial was singled out for attack. "In the second Healjl fclal when you testified on Dec. 10 you didn't tell the Jury any of the story you have told at this trial, did you?" he inquired. "I wasn't asked," replied O'Neil. O'Neill then said that up to that time he hadn't told Mr.

Todd or any of his assistants about the conversation he now says he had with Ewald. Learned of Charge Dec. 15 Mr. Syme then questioned the witness about the $3,000 Mrs. Ewald says she gave him to hire James D.

C. Murray, attorney, and which Mrs. Ewald says O'Neil admitted to her he used to bribe "Sylvester and Curran" of the Federal Attorney's staff. The lawyer asked the witness when he found out that Mrs. Ewald had made this charge to the Federal Grand Jury.

"Dec. 15," was the reply. On redirect examination Mr. Todd sought to have O'Neil clarify his testimony regarding the manner in which he learned of Mrs. Ewald's charges before the Federal Grand Jury.

O'Neil testified that he learned of Mrs. Ewald's testimony through George J. Mintzcr, head of the criminal division of the Federal Attorney's office, who, he said, told him that I. Nicholas Gordon, attorney for the Ewalds, had "spoken to" Alvtn McK. Sylvester and Thomas Curran, two Assistant Federal Attorneys, about his tO'Neil).

Fixes Date O'Neil on cross-examination fixed the first week in April, last, as the time when he had the conversation with Ewald regarding the purchase of a seat on the Supreme Court bench. He said It occurred one morning while he was driving Ewald to Traffic Court on Mulberry St. O'Neil also testified about the party he says he attended at the Ewald home on the night the County Grand Jury refused to Indict Ewald. Brooklyn Men Revive Plan of Marginal Road rounds and Hagrr Oppose Sale by Cily of 10-Acrp Red Hook She The Brooklyn marginal railroad idea, long thought to be dead, was revived today by a committee of Brooklynites who went before City Planning Commissioner John S. Sullivan in the City Hall to protest apainst a change in the city map that would split up the 40-acre tract in the Red Hood section purchased in 1921 as a terminal site for the railroad.

To preside at the hearing. Sullivan today left Mt. Morris Park Sanitarium, where he rere ntly underwent an operation. He was to return to the hospital this afternoon. He is suffering from rhematism.

One of the committee, former Borough President Lewis H. Pounds, pointed out that if plans to build a tunnel between Greenville, Staten Island, and South Brooklyn went throueh construction of a marginal railroad would be imperative. Resolutions approving the marginal railroad idea were approved in the last few weeks of the Mitchel administration. The Hylan administration bought the land and set aside $11,000,000 for construction. A few weeks later the same administration abolished the fund.

"To sell this plot, which could be the site of a great industrial center." Pounds said, "would be very bad policy." Albert Hager, vice president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that with the real estate market as it is at present the city could not possibly get more than 50 percent of what it originally paid for the land. Says Red Hook Neglected Thomas B. Austin of the 12:45 Club declared that little if anything is ever done for Red Hook by the city. He said if the city sold the tract it should sell it in one parcel. Consulting Engineer Arthur S.

Tuttle of the Board of Estimate reported that the land which originally cost $2,400,000 has cost the city $3,500,000 in principal and interest charges and brought an income of only $1,800 a year in rentals. "It has been assumed," said Commissioner Sullivan at the conclusion of the hearing, "that this department would be a morgue for proposals from public officials. Well, to show you how much of a morgue it is. my report and my recommendation on this matter will go to the Board of Estimate next Friday." A score of residents of the Mid-wood section appeared to protest against the proposed change from an zone to a zone of Avenue between E. 18th and E.

19th to a depth of 100 feet. Commissioner Sullivan will report on the matter to the Board of Estimate on Friday. The case has been before the Board for more than a year. Among those who spoke In opposition were Gnstave Koch, Walter C. Webster and E.

B. Church, alleging that erection of an apartment house in this highly restricted residential section would lower property values. Ex-Justice James A. Delehanty, appearing for Arthur Middleton, the petitioner, Vidi-culed the statements, saying that even's had proved otherwise. T.

All that day there were strong easterly winds lashing a rough sea. There was no news of the Tradewind, the master of the steamer said.

Little Hope Held Out Horta. Island of Fayal, Azores, Jan. 12 (A') The storm-swept Atlantic was believed here today to have claimed the lives of two more transoceanic fliers. There was still some hope for the safety of Mrs. Beryl Hart, 27-year-old red-headed widow, and Lt.

William S. Maclaren, who left Bermuda Saturday noon for Horta in their monoplane, Tradewind, but with the passing hours lt dimmed fast. Anxious watchers here were gloomy as the hours passed with no word from the little white ship. At 1 o'clock it seemed impossible that the two fliers could have weathered the storms which have been sweeping the, islands. Steamers passed and put into reporting no word of the Exchange Club Of Flatbush Will Fight Ban Legality of Suspension After Surrender of Its Charter Is Questioned Indignant members of the disbanded Flatbush Exchange Club today revealed that former Representative Warren I.

Lee is studying the legal aspects of the recent surrender of their charter and the National Exchange Club's reply that the Flatbush organization was suspended and its members barred from Joining any other Exchange clubs, until purged of "disloyalty." Prominent members of the Flatbush club asserted they could see no reason for the national body's action. Lee will report at a special meeting of the 18 former members tomorrow on whether the form of withdrawal was as it should have been and on what can be done about it. "The club," said William Cordes, president, "was made up of legitimate business men and this is a personal insult on our characters. We will not tolerate anything of that sort, knowing that we always lived up to the dictates of the national body." "The charter." Raid Port Appraiser Frederick J. H.

Kraeke, "was surrendered unanimously and all in Undoubtedly some mistake has been made, it seems absurd that a man cannot get out of any club he wants to." Others Comment The Rev. Dr. Charles W. Roeder, pastor of the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church, said: "I was told we were in a fight. I don't know of any fight.

We all signed the surrender of the charter and agreed to disband. That's all there is to it." "There is no reason in the world," said Daniel Rigney, who was secretary of the disbanded organization, "why the national body should take that attitude. Everything was done in the legal way. It just looks as if they were letting us out Instead of letting us get out." The letter which aroused the Indignation of the former Exchange-ites was written by the national secretary, Harold C. Harter, in reply to Rigney's query as to why a telegram had been sent announcing suspension of the club.

"The charter of your wrote Harter, ampliying the brief state -statement of the telegram, "has been suspended by the national president on the grounds of disloyalty and will remain so until further action is taken by the National Exchange Club."

cock Tells Ministers The "sincere and scholarly work" of the Wickersham Crime Commission was praised today at the annual meeting of union preachers at the Union Methodist-Evangelist Church, 233 W. 48th Manhattan, by Col. W. W. Woodcock, National Prohibition Director, who told the assembled preachers that the long awaited report would be an outstanding contributon of the present administration.

The meeting was under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League. "I have full faith in the Wickersham Crime Commission," Colonel Woodcock said. "I have had an opportunity to work for it and I am convtneed from the sincerity and scholarly behavior of its members that lt w'll get at the truth." To Instruct Public "I am training agents so us in have a superior force of enforcement men," he said. "They must face the enemy while I undertake to guard their rear from attack 1 mean from political interference with our work." "We will give the public facts in pamphlets, which we will publish. The hope of prohibition lies in a revival of temperance education." Colonel Woodcock deplored the fact that some States, Including New York, have no State enforcement laws, a situation which hampers the work of the Federal Government, he said.

Report Faces Further Delay Washington, Jan. 12 (1 Prospects of a delay of at least two more days in the submission of the Law Enforcement Commission's prohibition report to President Hoover were asserted today at commission headquarters. Only two members were in the capital. There might be some difficulty in obtaining more than a rare quorum at the meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

12 OP) The House Rules Committee voted today to give special legislative status to the drought relief appropriation bill of $45,000,000, so it might be sent to conference with the Senate tomorrow. The committee adoDted a resolu tion to disagree to the Senate's 000,000 amendment for food loans. Under the rule of the House the resolution cannot be brought up until tomorrow. A vote then will be taken which will show the House strength on the Senate amendment. Meanwhile.

LaOuardia and Fish, also a New York Republican, urged the House Agriculture Committee to consider their bills for a Federal appropriation to the Red Cross. has a bill for a appropriation to the organization for relief work, while Fish proposes a $15,000,000 allotment and authority to requisition wheat from the Farm Board. Representative Oarner, the minority leader, predicted that at least 150 members would vote for the amendment. G. O.

P. Leaders Confident House Republican leaders expressed confidence they would be able to secure adoption of the special rule Insisting the Senate recede from its amendment. Representative LaOuardia, New York, who has waged a fight against his Republican colleagues to have the food provision made applicable to urban as well as rural areas, was unable to get a hearing before the committee. The request for a special rule was asked by Chairman Wood of the Appropriations Committee, who has resisted efforts of Democrats to get consideration of the Senate amendment in the House. Garner said President Hoover's appeal for a $10,000,000 relief fund for public subscription, "is an admission that he and John Barton Payne, chairman of the Red Cross, did not know the actual conditions existing in this country." Payne Proposal Approved The Chief Executive, as head of the Red Cross, yesterday approved the proposal of Chairman Payne that an appeal for public assistance be made.

There was some expecta-be made. Mr. Hoover made known his approval of the Red Cross Funds Campaign in a letter to Chairman Payne. In it he pointed out It had been held desirable to withhold any appeal for funds until local organizations of the larger cities and the community chests had advanced their own fund raising. The President expressed confidence that "every one truly deserving will be looked after with care and without waste." Italian Airmen Feted As Flight Nears End Bahia, Brazil, Jan.

J. Guard Captain Shot by Policeman Newark, N. Jan. 12 OP) Austin B. Phillips, captain of the Headquarters Company of the 113th Infantry, New Jersey National Guard, is suffering from a bullet wound in the hip, alleged to have been inflicted by Patrolman Frank Mc-Mahon.

Phillips told police he attempted to intercede in an altercation between McMahon and Albert Haibcck of Irvington. A piece of canvas in which to wrap the tools is one way of assuring silence from this often noisy part of the car, An official report to constabulary headquarters here by MaJ. J. C. Quimbo, Intelligence officer, however, said: "Physical evidence seized, such as 'antlng-antlng' (charms worn by the fanatics), showed fanaticism was the motive." Pedro Tolosa, also known as Tos Leopardo, regarded by authorities as the supreme leader of the Colorums, was arrested later at San Nicolas with his assistant, Lazaro Corpus.

Constabulary officers said both had confessed attacking Tayug. Boczor, who was Ewald's confidential secretary, in which Arkin referred to traffic cases "to be taken care of." In the letter Arkin told Boczor that he had sent parking tickets to FwbM and mentioned the names of the two persons concerned. The let ter also said that Arkin wouia -nave something for him on March 4," and nsk Roczor to droD in for lunch eon when he was downtown." Arkin said that he had never ais-cussed the possibility of Ewald's appointment with, Healy or any one else and that the first he heard of it was after the Mayor had named Ewald. Cite Walker Appointments All of the indictments in the case were placed in evidence by the defense attorney as his opening move. A tabulation showing the appointments made by Mayor Walker on April 29, 1927, when Ewald was made a magistrate, was next placed in evidence.

A director of the port, three magistrates, one of whom was Ewald, and 32 city marshals were appointed that day, the tabulation showed. Milk Trials Halted As Defense Hits Evidence of State Counsel Say District Attorney Failed to Prove Association Was Illegal The trial of Larry Fay and 139 other defendants before General Sessions Judge Morris Koenig in Manhattan on charges of violation of the business laws, restraint of trade and the fixing of milk prices was interrupted today when the State rested its case and the Jury was excused until tomorrow to permit counsel for the defense to argue motions to take the case away from the Jury and throw it out of court. John F. Joyce, Assistant District Attorney, opened the session by announcing he had no further witnesses and no new evidence to present. The 18 defense lawyers then filed briefs and asked to argue motions charging the State had failed to present a case.

After the Jury was excused, Judge Koenig asked whether members of a corporation indicted for a crime who could not be proved to have had knowledge of it could De lawfully connected with the crime. Mr. Joyce replied he thought so and Judge Koenig asked him to cite cases in support. The Court declared that the defense attorneys had submitted numerous decisions in opposition. In the briefs submitted by counsel for the defendants it was contended that the New York Milk Chain Association, one of the indicted corporations, had been formed before Fay became connected with it, that it was a lawful combination, and that it did not restrain trade.

Acuna Denies Plot To Frame Cops at Vice Squad Trial Asserts He Never Told Fellow Prisoner He Would Get Revenge on Poliee Chile Mapocha Acuna, former stool pigeon for the vice squad, denied today that he had any animus against the police in testifying against five of them who are up on departmental charges before 4th Deputy Commissioner Nelson Rut-tenberg at Police Headquarters.

The men on trial are Lieut. Peter J. Pfeifler and Plainclothesmen Sidney D. Tait, Andrew P. Stirnweiss, Patrick Kenneally and Eugene Bac-caglini.

Shortly after resuming the witness stand, Acuna was confronted by Carlos Franchini, with whom he had lived in the same house several times and with whom he had served time in the penitentiary for extortion. He admitted talking to Fianchini in the penitentiary. Samuel Liebowitz, attorney for the accused men, demanded: "Did you ever tell him that you would frame the cops as they had iramed you?" Acuna. vastly amused, laughingly answered. "No." T)-p witness dercribed a number of visits he had received from police offirers in the Tombs following his conviction and before his sentence.

The first, he said, was from Inspector Hairy Lobdell, whom he told about his activities in obtaining evidence for the vice squad, mentioning several alleged frameups. "I told Inspector Lobdell I had observed many wrong things," he said. Pressed to specify what he meant, the little Chilean said he had mentioned specifically the case of Lucy Berini. which he declared was a pure frameup, and another instance when he had gone to a speakeasy on 42d Manhattan, to collect money for a officer. "I told him I was framed because I knew too said Acuna.

The witness admitted lying frequently when he testified in the Carmen Garcia-Nina Llobet case In Women's Court.

May Hare Reached Europe hundred gallons of gasoline which they had in their tanks Saturday upon takeoff from Bermuda was believed to have been sufficient to keep them until 6 p.m. Sunday, in which time they might have reached the western European or Moroccan coast, but in view of a prevailing northeast gale, poor visibility and other unfavorable weather conditions, their success was considered improbable.

If forced to come down at sea they probably would not have been able to keep their plane afloat more than a few minutes. Although it was equipped for a sea landing, the giant waves seen hereabouts Saturday, Sunday and today would have beaten and crushed a craft of much larger size and more substantial build than the Tradewind, unless lt could find a harbor. Rockets Are Sent Up Authorities here sent vp rockets from early evening until late last night as a possible beacon for the aviators. French, Portuguese and Spanish authorities passed the word along the coastlines of those three countries to watch for the pair. If forced down on the Moroccan coast they might remain lost for weeks.

There was a small chance of their having been able to land near some passing small steamer, unequipped with wireless, which picked them up. In such a case several days might elapse before there would be some word of their safety. Mrs. Hart and Lieutenant Maclaren left North Beach, N. Jan.
