This testimony was presented today before Examiner J.

L. Rogers of the Interstate Commerce Commission at the opening of hearings at the St. George Hotel Into reported reciprocity between railroad routing and purchases. In many cases, it was declared, concerns furnishing a railroad a large amount of traffic receive preference over other concerns by being allowed to revise their bids downward for lurnishtng railroad supplies, after the other bids had been received. In other cases, where concerns have failed In securing more railroad purchasing businrss, despite their threat of boycott, these concerns have routed all their ordinary traffic by another railroad.

The first witness, who presented this testimony, was Charles S.

KILLS BURGLAR Samuel Cohen Boy Burglar Slain, His Two Mates Caudit They Dally for Smoke and Private Detective Nahs Them in Cellar Joseph Levttsky, IB, of 291 Osborn St. died In St. Mary's Hospital at 6 a.m. today and his two pals, Alexander Pavliuk, 16, of 666 Dumont Ave.

and John Mauzerowitz, 18, of 463 Howard are locked up in the Liberty Ave. station charged with robbery because, chiefly, they couldn't resist the craze for a smoke. It was their lighted cigarettes glowing In the confectionery store of Harry Lubin, 421 Stone at 4 a.m. today that led to their downfall and the death of one. They had climbed a rear fence on Christopher Ave and entered the store through a rear door.

They had robbed the till of $16 and took cigars, candy and cigarettes. Then the three stopped stopped long enough to puff at some of their stolen cigarettes. Samuel Cohen, a private detective, of 243 Blake who nine years ago almost to the day captured a bandit who had just shot and killed a patrolman, proved the nemesis of the three youths. Seeing the glowing cigarettes, Cohen slipped back through Chris-topher Ave. and over the fence.

Just as the boys had done. And the boys. It developed, had carefully planned for their exit, for they had left the outside cellar door open and the door leading Into the store ajar. But Cohen was too quick. Im mediately on arriving at the cellar door he caught Pavliuk and then with drawn pistol veiled down the cellarway: 'All right, the rest of you fel lows, come on out! I got this chap!" No response.

Cohen yelled again. A third time. Then he fired. Still no response. He waited, then closed the cellar door and barri caded it with a plank.

With Pavliuk, Cohen retraced his steps back over Christopher where he met Detective George McGowan of the Liberty Ave. station. McGowan and Cohen returned, found Levitsky lying at the bottom of the stairway, a bullet under his heart, and Mauzerowitz hiding in the store. Levitsky was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where he died.

Roe, secretary of the board, and was put to a vote by W. L. Ranham, president, put the motion to a vote, Ihe 150 men and women present applauding long and loudly. The drive toward a general investigation of New York City's government had assumed today much of the character of a popular movement, urged on by popular demand. The Manhattan Grand Jury today handed up to General Sessions Judge Nott, an indictment alleging assault in the second degree against Plainclothes Patrolman James T.

3rady. Brady was indicted on the complaint of Mildred Roth, who claims he broke her arm when he arrested her on a vice charge Feb. 21. 1929, at 240 W. 111th Manhattan.

While Referee Samuel Seabury. as special commissioner appointed by Governor Roosevelt, was preparing to launch his inquiry into the official conduct of District Attorney Thomas C. T. Crain, the demand was being pressed from several other sources for an investigation of other city departments, including one of Mayor Walker himselfnow bound for a six weeks' vacation on the Pacific coast. To Write to Legislators The most impressive of these demands appeared to be that of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, of which Howard Clark Barber Is superintendent.

Some time today Samuel Marcus, attorney for the society, prepared to send out a letter to the individual members of the Albany Legislature citing specific charges of neglect of duty against the Mayor and asking that they be investigated. Although the letter had been placed in the hands of the printer, Marcus declined to make the letter public until it had been mailed to the legislators. In addition, William J. Schieffelin, chairman of the Citizens Union, was preparing to organize a Committee of 1.000 to crystallize public opinion in favor of an investigation and direct public confidence toward investigators and private citizens who might have Information to aid the investigation.

Kugel Pictured In Dual Role on Municipal Deal One Witness Calls Him Master Mind as Oilier Says He Fought Trade Two widely varying stories of the swallowing of the Municipal Bank by the closed Bank of United States in April, 1929, were spread into the record today before Special Assistant Attorney General Israel H. Per-skin in the Brooklyn dual inquiry into the bank collapse. Two directors of the Municipal Bank furnished the conflicting accounts of the merger which gave the collapsed bank Its 14 branches in Brooklyn. The first of these, Morris Dlu-gasch. real estate man and nullder, testified that he favored the neraer and voted for it on April 16, 1929.

Two months later, Perskin brought out, he borrowed $200,000 from the Bank of United States, $190,000 of which remains unpaid. The loan was secured by stock in three real estate concerns having total bank balances of $6,000, and the witness declared that he was negotiating with the Banking Department to pay oft his obligation. Discussed at Luncheon Resplendent In a waxed white goatee and mustache. Simon Gas-ner. the second witness, asserted that the merger project was first considered at a luncheon of the directors on April lfi, 1929, and approved he same afternoon without any examination being made into the condition of the Bank of United States.

Opposition of some of the directors, he declared, evaporated when the Bank of United States offered 31" shares of bank units, with a market value of $700. for each share of Municipal stock, which was quoted at $625. Dlugash, however, placed the date of ths luncheon as three months prior to the approval of the merger and declared that a "steering com- Plrase Turn to Page threat by Federal Judge Wool- Interlude." The trial is being I held in Judge Woolsey's cham bers in the Woolworth Build ing. The plaintiff Is Miss Georges Lewys, who, through her counsel, former Supreme Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, alleged that O'Neill not only had taken the substance.

spirit, character and sequence of events from her book, "Temple of Pallas Athenae," written in 1924, but in some cases had lifted the dialogue almost bodily. 'Copyright Piracy' "This Is a clear case of copyright piracy," he declared in his opening address. Cohalan asserted that Miss Lewys had submitted her book and a dramatic synopsis of it in 1924 to the Theater Guild and to Boni Liver- right, publishers, who also are defendants In the action. Harry Weinberger, counsel for O'Neill, contended that his client never saw Miss Lewys' book or copied from It. Ideas which are similar In the two works, he asserted, may be found in any book on eugenics.

Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for Bonl fc Liveright, argued that ideas were not subject to copyright. Walter Schwartz, counsel for the Theater Guild, denied that the Guild had suggested to O'Neill that he write "Strange Interlude." Bank of U.S. Directors Face Broderick Suit Announcement Is Made as He Seeks to Ban a Stockholders Action Joseph A. Broderick, State Superintendent of Banks, will start a civil suit within a month or six weeks against directors of the Bank of United States to recover an amount estimated at between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000. Announcement that the action would be brought was made today by Carl J.

Austrian, attorney for Mr. Broderick, in the course of argument before Supreme Court Justice Valente in Manhattan on a motion by Austrian to dismiss a similar suit started some time ago by Abraham Solins, a stockholder. The superintendent's attorney declared that, under the law, a suit to recover from the directors of a bank in the hands of the superintendent can be brought only by him. Announces Suit He added that such a suit would be brought, basing it on alleged mismanagement, neglect and misfeasance of the directors. Martin I.

Rose, attorney for Solins. replied that the law merely provides that the superintendent "may" bring a suit to recover, but does not prevent stockholders from doing so. Justice Valente reserved decision, pointing out that five actions similar to that of Solins are pending, In which Judgment is asked for an amount up to $100,000,000, and that "chaos would follow bringing of a multiplicity of suits." At th hearing before Referee Robert P. Stephenson at 32 Broadway. Manhattan, into the affairs of the bank's four bankrupt affiliates, George Pankin, formerly a vice president attached to the 32a St.

office of the bank, testified today the Real Estate Committee of the Bank of United States, of which he was a member and which passed on all real estate loans of $100,000 or less, had no knowledge of loans to the affiliates.

Jimmy was not feeling nearly as dapper as his fashion-plate costuming would indicate.

"If I was feeling a little better I would give you one of those 'typical interviews' you know, like a three-ring circus," he said, "but I don't feel quite up to it today." "Will prohibition be an issue in the next election?" some one asked. "Oh, is thera any prohibition?" countered. shrewd sarcasm for which he is famous came today from the lips of Senator George Norrls of Nebraska, Republican insurgent, in answer to a challenge from Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, Republican leader of the Senate, who last night submitted a list of 14 questions for the progressive conference, meeting here, to answer. And as the progressives gathered, Norrls, their chaiiman, received a telegram from Governor Roosevelt, expressing regret Hint a legislative session in Albany kept him from attending, and pointing out his sympathy with the progressive program on walcr power, the agrlcullufal problem, unemployment and stabilization of industry.

The message, far more than a polite expression of regret, was taken as another bid for progressive support as a possible Presidential nominee In 19.12. fiovernor's Telegram. The text of the Governor's trie-gram follows: "I am much disappointed that I cannot attend the conference today and tomorrow. I need not tell you of my real Interest in the subjects which you will discuss. It is absolutely Impossible for me to lcava Albany, as the Legislature Is in session.

1 hope that you will good enough to send me the report of the conference. "May I call your attention particularly to the water power policy of this State, to our agricultural program and the new land utilization policy which I have outlined, also to the conference of severe Oovernors held In Albany on unemployment and industrial stabilization. I am mailing several mes sages and reports by special delivery today." Over 300 Present. More than 200 progressives, both Republican and Democratic, met here this morning lnthe Carlton, Hotel to open a two-dfy discussion of a legislative program for th next Congress, in which the progressive members are expected to control in both Senate and House. It was to this group that Senator Watson addressed a satirical batch of questions, demanding where the progressives stood on prohibition, recognition of Soviet Russia, Government operation of railroads, etc.

"Senator Watson doesn't appear to realize that those of us gathered in this room are not a political party, and not here to organize a political party," said Senator Norris in referring to the Watson letter at the opening of the conference this morning.

Mr. Baum said the figures represented a "liberal estimate" based on data available from all sources, and represented about 1 percent of an estimated total for the nation of from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 annually. Conditions In Chlcpgd and Los Angeles, he said, were worse than in New York and inert have been periods in the past when conditions in this city have brn i worse than they are today.

But pi-fscnt conditions he described as "bad enough." Rifle Mail Boxes By rifling mail boxes in apartment houses, forgers have obtained canceled checks and have used ths signatures as models. In the same manner they have obtained bank statements of customers whose names they have forged. By "doctoring" the statements they have delayed discovery of the forgeries. One big New York bank has sent the following warning to Its customers: "Recently the American Bankers Association issued a warning against the operation of mail-box thieves, who extract from mail boxes communications containing statements and canceled vouchers sent by banks to their customers, thus obtaining information regarding depositors' balances as well as checks which serve as models for forgery purposes. "To lessen the chance of loss through fraudulent checks, we would appreciate It If depositors would call for vouchers and statements wherever possible rather than requesting that these be mailed." Night Club Hangout New York's numerous night clubs which have become the hangout of criminals of many varieties are affording a fertile field for forgers.

Forgers, who have "spotted" in advance well-to-do men, manage to strike up acquaintance and obligingly cash checks for the "good fellow" who after liberal spending finds himself short of ready cash. The checks so obtained are either raised or kept as models for forgeries, It was pointed out. "Check forgery," said Mr. Baum, "has not only been a popular but a very definite trade in t.w underworld, particularly since riio advent of night and supper clubs. On be half of their customers Ihe banks and the surety companies alike are continually urging the greatest care be exercised in the drawing and handling of checks, particularly the cashing of checks by strangers and the safeguarding of canceled checks."

District Attorney Crain's office has found "no evidence of crime" in the activities of the firm. 1 This was revealed today by Assistant District Attorney James Martin, who was assigned by Crain to the Prince Whilely case when the Attorney General's office forwarded to him, on Nov. 3 last, the detailed bill of con, plaint on which the Attorney Gener I is seeking in Brooklyn Supreme Court an injunction restraining the nine firm members from further dealings in securities.
