K'ein, Queens attorney, who first focused public attention on the Queens sewer scandal, yesterday asked Mayor Walker to investigate the $800,000 difference between what the Baptist Home for the Aged paid last fall for a piece of property on E.

68th Manhattan, and what it sold the property for Klein maintains the city was "overreached in this transaction and should sue for the return of the money. to Kaiser again after gala party Hohenzollerns in Spiked Hel mets Salute Him as King in-70th Birthday Fete. Doom, Holland, Jan, 28 (if) Former Kaiser Wilhelm arose at 7 o'clock this morning as usual, read the Bible, had breakfast and walked In the garden. Servants said he showed no signs of strain on ac count of the exhaustive program of yesterday when the Hohenzollerns gathered to celebrate his 70th birth day and to hail him as king and emperor. During the evening the guests partook of a repast more elaborate than that at noon.

Each guest was given a menu card with a gold border and bearing a golden Hohen-zollern crown and a picture of the Kaiser in the unit or of a nciu marshal. Under the picture was printed: "Evening Repast on the All-Highest Seventieth Birthday; His Majesty, the Kaiser and King." The former Kaiser today wrote Queen Wllhelmina a long letter of thanks lor ten years ot reiuge. Me dwelt especially on acts of friendship of Count Bentinck, his host, and exnressed his wishes for the welfare of the Dutch people. William today resumed the roie or a royal exile. Yesterday he stood resplendent In a field marshal's uniform of the First Royal Guards and upon his breast were the highest decorations within the gift of imperial Germany and many other nations.

Male participants in the celebration, garbed in the gala uniforms of their military ranks and wearing spiked helmets, saluted him as "his majesty, the Kaiser ana tung. Princess Hermine, whom the Kaiser married in exile, was not present to share her husband's triumph or to be addressed as "empress." The official explanation was that she was ill with what at first seemed to be chicken pox, but probably was only grip. There was a rumor current, however, that she was only diplomatically ill. since the greater part of the Hohenzollern clan refuse to recoenlze her as "her imperial maj esty," conceding her merely the title of the Kaiser's spouse, urown princess Cecllle acted as hostess instead of Princess Hermine. President von Hindenburg, in nis capacity as a private citizen and former field marshal under the Kaiser, sent a letter written in his own hand.

It was understood that the Dutcn Government brought pressure to bear on Doom Castle to keep the party strictly private, being anxious lest the celebration lead to political demonstrations to which the Allies might object.

A jeweler at Reading, Berkshire, sent police a thin gold watch bearing, among other marks, "Camerden and Forster, New York." The Jeweler said he had reason to believe this belonged to the slain man.

12lh Manhattan, was arrested last night on a charge of felonious assault at 101 Allen Manhattan, where he had been pursued by a crowd. Garbed as a woman, wearing an expensive seal coat, Wiszak is alleged to have beaten an unidentified woman with a revolver In the women's rest room of the Rivington st. station of the 2d ave. elevated rd. Detectives Schneider and Sar-geant Brough of the 5th st.

station, who captured Wiszak, questioned him In connection with the murder of Mrs. E. Weigand, whose body was found in the washroom of the City Hall station of the B. M. T.

on Aug. 5, 1927. A woman told John Dougherty, change agent on the northbound platform of the Rivington st. station, that a man dressed as a woman had followed her into the wash-room, bolted the door behind him, tightened a scarf about her heck and when she struggled beat her on the head with a revolver. She struggled so desp3rately, she told Dougherty, that her a.ssailant released her and fled.

Dougherty believed from th woman's actions that she was Intoxicated. Going to the street, her appearance attracted a crowd, to which she related the occurrence. When Wiszak appeared on th street the crowd gave chase. Wiszak took refuge in the Allen st. house, where he wis captured.

Wiszak, a pugilist, who three yean ago fought "Bill" Lewis and George Papbell, among others, in Jersey City under the name of Young Eddie, denied he was in the washroom or had committed the assault.
