Exchange; Suit was brought In Brooklyn Supreme Court today against five officers and directors of the National Title Guaranty Company of 185 Montague St. The complaint cites the ground that the concern was underpaid by a sum "in excess of $180,000" in real estate deal, Mrs. Floss M. Van Eise, who Inherited 25 shares in the Title Company from her lather, Adolph E. Muller, names Manasseh Miller, president of the company, and Meier Stcinbrink, James J.

Brooke, Clarence Levy and Martin Latner, directors, as defendant. The company Itself as well as the Long brook Corporation and the C1U mont Realty Corporation also are named. Three-Way Transaction The deal was a triangular one, involving properties at 185 Montague 174 Montague St. and 166 Montague St. The five men named, as the Climont company, owned 166 Montague.

The title company owned 174 and wanted 185, owned by the Longbrook. Longbrook, in turn, had "repeatedly" bid for 174 and eventually got It. It was. however, says the complaint, 1150.000 less than the pries that might have been obtained. A( the same time the Longbrook con.

cern was compelled to buy 166 Montague St. at a figure correspondingly higher than the five defendant! could otherwise have obtained. The difference, says the plaintiff! was "the consideration which thej personally received." Three Deny Being; Served Steinbrink said: "I have not been served with nor have I seen a copy of the complaint in what appears to be a suit by a stockholder. The allegations in tho complaint that has been filed in the County Clerk's office are ridiculous. "I am at a loss to understand why the document was filed before I was served unless it was to give it nuisance value." Miller said: "I have not been served with any such complaint, but allegations such as are stated now to be set forth in the document on are absolutely unfounded.

Hints "Strike" Suit "The fact 1: that as a result ol the transactions which this complaint attempts to describe the title company made a profit of $500,000 and no individual made a penny, This looks to me like a strike suit, but whoever instigated the suit is striking In the wrong direction." Latner said: "There in absolutely nothing to this suit. Whoever is the author of those allegations Is 100 percent ln error ln his attempt to make charges of fraud and conspiracy. AH the papers, documents and records of those transactions are open to inspection." Charges Card Player Fired Shot in Game Before County Judge Algeron X.

Baldwin said that the government was losing the enthusiasm of its supporters throughout the country. Johnston's Defense Johnston opened the government's defense by declaring that Great Britain was one industrial country which was meeting its difficulties without resort to breadlines or soup kitchens.

Since the last debate on unemployment, on Feb. 20. lie said, approximately $100,000,000 worth of work had been stimulated by government assistance. The House and the country, Johnston said, should appreciate the magnitude of the problem with which the government is faced. There are, he said, 5.000.000 unemployed in Germany and 8,000,000 in the United States.

Johnston sai the Government had taken sweeping measures re garding housing, land drainage and reclamation, electrification and rail way and other tiansport developments. "Our troubles are specially in our export trade," he aid, "unemploy ment ln the coal industry is 22 per cent, in the ship-building industry, 49 percent and ln the cotton in dustry, 41 percent. For some of these we can only look to international action to stop the sag in price levels and the only hope of a benefit lies in an improvement in world trade. fj, Ramsay MacDonald became prime minister, for the first time, on Jan. 23, 1924.

He was forced out some months later, when he lost the support of the Liberals in Parliament, but returned to office again in the Fall of 1929. Since then, he has gone through numerous "crises." including several occasions when Parliament voted against a specific government bill. He declined to resign, however, on those occasions, declaring that resignation would come only after defeat on a- measure of major importance, or on a vote of lack of Ed.

In Japan the blind held almost a monopoly on certain professions massage, acupuncture (a form of medicine) and music.

Told Fortunes In China fortune telling provided an easy source of funds for the blind. Both these source of revenue are rapidly being closed to the blind, the World Conference on Work for the Blind, meeting at the Hotel Pennsylvania, Manhattan, was told today by Umajl Akiba, director of the Tokyo School for the Blind. He said: "Seeing people have entered the same arena as the blind and the competition is becoming keen." To help the blind compete Mr. Akiba advocated: Special education in the fields ln which they excel and more education than the sighted; remove unjust prejudices concerning their ability to work and give the blind special spiritual train ing to overcome despondency.

2, 1928, an officer ordered two seamen away from one lifeboat, saying only one sailor was allowed to a boat. So Cleary James, Negro boxer and third-class passenger on the Vestris' last trip, testified before Federal Judge Goddard in Manhattan today at the hearing on motion to limit liabilities of the ship's owners and operators io $90,000. James said when the Vestris left New York he noted no list. On the second morning out he said the ship listed to starboard, with water three feet deep in the third cabin dining room. Just before the boat sank, James said an officer cried out: "Everybody for themselves." He dove overboard, was picked up by a lifeboat and rescued by the American Shipper 17 hours later.

Left Own Bailiwick The upper reaches of the Bronx, where he was constantly at war with Terranova was considered his bailiwick of extortion and terror, but his silken-clad body was found in a dingy back room of a small cafe. Wanted for questioning ever since Albert Wagner and two other, were massacred In an E. 29th Manhattan, apartment by machine guns, Masseria had been in hiding, constantly protected by two gunmen whose numes are known to the police. Masseria was playing cards ln the back room of the Nuova Villa Tammnra with three other men at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when a blue sedan drove up to the door and two men leaped out.

Three Killers Escape Walking directly through the resturants, the men disappeared into the rear room. Instantly there came the sounds of several shots. Leaving by a side door and throwing their weapons away, the men entered their machine and disappeared. When the police of the Homicide Squad under Capt. Ray Honan arrived, no one was found who could give a clear description of the slayers, or of the men playing cards with Masseria.

Two bullets had struck Masseria in the head, another pierced his heart. Police said they found three exceptionally clear fingerprints on this murder care and that Harry Butts, police expert on Interior ballistics, was examining firearms found near the restaurant and ln this car. When the identity of Masseria was established the police sent a flash to all precincts to redouble their vigilance against a citf wide renewal of racketeering warfare. King of Three Rackets One of the officers of the Union Siciliano, an organization of Sicilians, Masseria was the king ot the wine, fish and beer rackets, his domain including a large portion of the east side of Manhattan and a part of Brooklyn. The reign of this underworld chieftain began in 1920, when he graduated from burglary and assault into the policy racket.

In Lis day he had of practically every purveyor of Italian food in the city, demanding and receiving tribute from holcsulzr and shopkeeper alike. Ambition Is Fatal It Is believed he recently tried to extend his domain and encroached on the territory of others, the in evitable move that precedes all racketeer killings. Masseria gave orders to Frankie Uale and is credited with having ordered his death. He was questioned in connection with the holdup of the dinner to former Magistrate Vitale, the killing of Tony Marlowe and the death of two Italians in the grape war in the Bronx. Police learned that he had been In the room when Abe Wagner was "rubbed out," but never could get the goods on him.

It also is understood he had been warned about increasing his territory by agents of Al Capone and the police are inclined to believe killers were imported to slay him. A car that might have been driven by these men was found in front of 1B28 W. 1st Coney IslAid, bearing license plates that had been stolen from the Motor Vehicle Bu reau. On the floor were found three recently used revolvers.

Mattress Bill Supported by Women's Clubs Hi'ooklyu lliunee Urges Alliiiiiy lo Industry Increase Regulation The State Labor Department was backed today by the Alliance of Brooklyn Women's Clubs in the effort to pass In the next Legislature a bill providing for a more adequate Inspection of the mattress industry. Action Urged on Bill Upon the suggestion of Mrs. Frank Dillcr, chairman of commendation, a motion was passed at the meeting at the Brooklyn Women's Club, 114 Pienepont recommending that the bill be taken out of committee at the next session and some action taken upon It.

Mrs. Diller explained that at the present time the smaller mattress mukcrs, because of a lack of inspectors, were using materials which are Injurious to the health. The "new material" label may mean only that the stuffing has never been used In a mattress before and goods may be utilised. For 'Goldeu Rule Day' The alliance Is adopting the suggestion of Mrs. Franklin that a fund be collected upon Mother's Day to be culled the "Golden Rule Mother's Day Fund" and to be used for the assistance of needy mothers.

The members were urged to remember their mothers ln this fashion. Bank of U. S.

Results of Seabury Probe A succession of scandals, abuses and Irregularities that shocked the city, but which hud remained hidden to Crain, was quickly revealed. Four magistrates resigned. Fourteen lawyers face disbarment In the Women's Court scandal. The vice squad scandal has resulted in more than a score of Indictments and dismissals and abolishment of the system." Commissioner Sea bury and John Kirkland Clark, hu chief counsel, will seek to learn why none of the abuses were turned up in Crain's lung Inquiry.

His trial has been delayed by the dismissal of the indictment against Louis P. Jublen, one of the Bob associates.

Commissioner Seabury's mission ln the capital was to argue before the Court of Appeals.
