Arrested as a suspect in the extortion plot against Harry Gardner, of Greystone drive, ML Lebanon, last week, Caporaco Gennero, 37, of Sharon, was discharged yesterday by Magistrate J. W. McGowan.

Joseph Cappetta, 21, of Lenora street, was arrested December 21 as he received $200 extortion payment from Gardner near Peabody High school. When detectives learned his car was registered jointly with Gennero the latter was arrested Monday. Cappetta was held for court Wednesday after Gardner identified him as the man who took $200. According to Gardner, former captain of bellboys at Hotel William Penn, Cappetta was one of four men who took him fr a ride in 1932 and took from him $600 under threats of death. He said the gang resumed threats three weeks ago and left an unlighted bomb on his porch by way of warning if he did sot pay again.

A prevaricator may not be just a liar after all, but a slightly insane man who thinks he's telling the truth. All crazy folks are not simple-minded, but often are brilliant.

McNair came yesterday, when it was indicated that one, Frederick C. Grote, accountant, woifld take the place of Charles A. Poth, a water assessor. Grote and Poth are both attorneys. At the first of the year, Poth was made a water assessor by agreement with Controller J.

P. Kerr, and became Dr. Kerr's legal advisor. In 1932 the' legislature had provided the controller with counsel, but Governor Pinchot vetoed it. Grote, while holding the title of accountant in the mayor's office, actually was working as an assistant city solicitor.

He was said by Solicitor Ward Bonsall to be in the middle of preparation of a legal case, so that his dismissal by council interfered with the law department's activities. Mayor McNair has asked Poth's resignation. There are, it is understood, no hard feelings between the mayor and Poth, the latter having offered to resign some time ago when it was indicated the mayor would require 'another place. one doctor said.

Jo skipping back a bit into SCHOOLS OF CITY The controversy between Mayor William N. McNair and the county commissioners concerning rates at the city-county airport boils down to the simple question of whether or not Pittsburgh wants to be hooked up with the best and fastest air services in the world, P. B. Sturgis, traffic manager of Transcontinental and Western Air, told members of the Henry George Club yesterday.

Giving figures to show that Pittsburgh has the highest airport charges in the nation, more than double the average charges in other cities, Sturgis said, "We can come into Pittsburgh and get a lot of business here, there's no doubt of that. We'd like to come into Pittsburgh, but we can't pay unreasonable rates for the privilege. We don't like to threaten, but it's up to Pittsburgh to decide whether or not they want good air service." Mayor McNair, in his usual seat at the luncheon table, laughed heartily when Sturgis stated that he had been "passed like a hot potato back and forth between 'Buck' McGovern and Mayor McNair until I don't know where I'm standing." Suddenly Mayor McNair halted the speaker to introduce his friend, "Hunkey Joe" Lewandowski, former czar of the Southside number racket. "If we can get 'Hunkey Joe' interested in the graded tax and our club he can tell all his friends and constituents about them and we'll make one of the biggest steps forward we've made for a long time," said the mayor in tribute to his friend, who rose, smiled and bowed.
