Leopold Jr. FIDE LINE AS FALLS STOIE Firemen Carry Child and Mother Doti Ladder in Quick Rescue. Susan Cablne, was fatally burned in a furious 10-mlnute blaza, which shortly before noon today, gutted the kitchen and dining room of a second floor apartment in the four-story brick building at 691 Myrtle ave. She died In an ambulance' that was speeding her to the Cumberland 8treet Hospital. Brief as was the fire.

It attracted a crowd which Jammed the street and cheered a fourth floor ladder rescue wun snouts that were audible blocks away. The fire was started by drying clothes which fell from a kitchen line upon a lighted burner of a gas range. In the kitchen at the time were little Susan, enclosed in hei high chair awaiting her midday meal, the child's mother, Mrs. Mary Cabine. her aunt.

Miss Annie Buono-polo, and her two brothers, Frank, 4, and John, 6. At the range, preparing lunch, was Miss Buonopolo. Bent over the week's wash in the kitchen tubs was the mother. From time to time dur-ing the forenoon the latter had added article after article to the line, which extended diagonally across the kitchen from over the stove In the corner. Suddenly the line snapped.

Baby Forgotten in Plight Miss Buonopolo grabbed the clothes from the top of the stove and hurled them aside toward a window adorned with cretonni dranes. The drapes caught Are. The women became panic stricken. Miss Buonopolo caught John by the hand and rushed for the stairs. Mrs.

Cablne grabbed up Frank and dashed after her. Little Susan was forgotten In the confusion-Down the stairs to the sidewalk the women stumbled and fell. Anthony Fontl, who had been loitering before the barber shop at 698 Myrtle next door, sprang forward. Out of the hysterical confusion with whloh they deluged him, he learned that their apartment was afire. He ran to the corner and turned in an alarm.

Hose Company No. 102 responded. As the engine came up to the house through the quickly assembled crowd a frantlo young woman threw up the sash of a fourth-floor window and began crying: "Help! Save us!" At -hen side appeared a 8-year-old boy, crying. Smoke filtered past them Into the street. A 3 5 -foot ladder was quickly run up to the window FJreman Walter Ferns ascended the ladder.

He lifted the youngster over the window sill and tucked him under hie arm. Next he helped woman to the laddar rungs. Carrying the boy and assisting the woman, he descended to the street with his -rescue. The young woman then collapsed. Ambulance Surgeon Schoenfeld, who bad just finished ministering lo Mrs.

She said that she was Miss Vinenza Cusumano, 22, fourth-floor tenant, and that the boy was her nephey, Carmine Nitter. She had tried to reach the street by the stiers. she said, but had been driven back by the smoke, Then other firemen, who had lushed up the stairs while Fcnn ascended the ladder, returned to 111 street with the charred high chair containing Susan. The doctor lifted chair and child Into the ambulance and told the driver to make all speed for the hospital.

His white-clad figure could be seen bept over the chair in the quickly disappearing ambulance as the firemen announced that the fire was out The fire damage was estimated at 23,000.

Five Months Delay by City On Repaying; Plumber Kept Under Bond for Excavation Fv A. Hutchinson a plumber, of 2175 Clarendon said that on Jan. 7 last he reported to the Bureau of Highways that he had back-filled au excavation on Flatbush near Clarendon rd. Before making the excavation, he said, he had been obliged to pay the city 213 to cover cost of resurfacing the hole. has not been resurfaced yet.

"We licensed plumbers are under $1,000 bond with th city," said Mr. Hutchinson, "and are expected to keep excavations in proper condition until they are resurfaced. But we can't be expected to do this for months and months while waiting for the city to do the repaying. Yet should there be a cave-In or some other serious trouble at such a place' the plumber who made the excavation probably would be held responsible." Assistant Engineer O. Clauss-ner of the Bureau of Highways said today that Mr.

Hutchinson's excavation had not been forgotten. The delay In resurfacing It. he said, has been due simply to the inability of the bureau to, meet promptly all demands made upon it for repairs. Lack of prompt street repairing not only creates a decidedly dangerous condition, but increases traffic congestion by preventing some existing highways from being used to their full capacity, according to H. E.

Maples, assistant general manager of the Metropolitan Automobile Association. The Metropolitan Automobile Association Is one of the organizations which has declared war upon the city for its alleged failure to keep Its streets In proper condition. "To the uninitiated," said Mr. Maples, Vthe solution of the highways problems of Brooklyn and Queens lies in providing additional through highways conneotlng these two boros for traffic to and from Long Island. While it is admitted that additional highways of proper width will to a great extent reduce congestion, we must also consider use of tho existing highways to their maximum capacity.

"A survey made by the Metropolitan Automobile Association discloses some very Interesting data in proof of the contention that the. existing highways are not at present being used to their Capacity. One of the main contributing factors entering into this phase of all transportation difficulties Is that some of the principal highways, such as 8th Lafayette Jamaica Coney Island Utlca Flatbush are. and Jerome Queens, are not available for the carrying of their maximum load, due to the practlc: of permitting street openings with apparently no definite program of inspection of these areas. One case in point, that of Jerome re-paved less than two years ago, now Is in a most deplorable condition, requiring the expenditure of many thousands of dollars before this highway can be put to its proper use.

Loopholes for Carelessness. "If we are to understand that the fee charged by the city for street openings Is taken as a guarantee that these openings will be properly closed and resurfaced, it is apparent that there is some loophole through which no check Is made as to the completion of the work. While it Is agreed by all that some time is necessary before resurfacing to allow a fill to settle and a proper base to form. It must be conceded that this time can be definitely fixed, after Continued on Page 12. A- ft- fry SAYS MAPLES F- PUBLIC FUf.DS Ex-Justice of Peace Pleads Not Guilty $580 Fines in Question.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. June 8 Formei Justice of the Peace Louis M. Raislg of Cedarhurat was indicted today on two counts charging grand larceny and misappropriation of public funds, by the Extraordinary Grand Jury conducting Governor Smith's graft and corruption hunt in Nassau County. Raislg pleaded not guilty before County Judge Lewis J. Smith and was held in (2,600 ball pending a hearing before Supreme Court Justice James C.

Cropsey, who is presiding over the investigation. Ball was furnished by John Eckenberg of Lawrence. The indictment was handed up to Justice Cropsey early In the day but tthe Identity of the defendant was not made known because he was not present in court at the time. Justice Cropsey accepted the true bill and left Instructions that when Raislg was found he should be allowed to plead before Judge Smith. Both, counts in the Indictment ayatnst Raislg relate to his disposition of $680 in fines which he collected between June 1 and December 1, 1922, and which he Is alleged to have diverted to his own use.

A somewhat pungent colloquy, the exact ooint of which was not alto gether clear to spectators, developed between Justice Cropsey and Henry A. Uterhart, attorney for Reynolds; Gracy, Vanderwerken and Clarko, with regard to the trial date. Mr. Unterhart, while not exactly offering an objection to the date of Juno 16, said he wanted to remind thi Court that all of the Long Beach records and the corporate records of Reynolds' development corporations were In the hands of the Special Deputy Attorney General and XEVI5 apparently not accessible to him for the purpose ox prewa-nxis unw.

Chinese Junk Bay After 2- From China, Capt George Ward, a Canadian citizen and sea-goer of Dutch birth. brought (he first Chinese junk known to have sailed Atlantic waters Into Sheepshead Bay aad dropped anchor last night. It became known today.

He completed a two years' perilous voyage from China, In his 53-foot craft. He was attacked by and defeated Chinese pirates, encountered two typhoons In the China Sea, lost his rudder and said he had killed and eaten the flesh not only of a chow dog but of a if-foet python which was washed up during a typhoon. Because of the death which he inflicted on the python which is regarded by Chinese as a symbol of wisdom he was deserted by his crew, consisting of two Uhtnese sailor boys, according to the story he narrated at the Customs House where he reported this morning. The commander of the vessel is huia Dutchman, possessing a color ful personality and narrated his ex periences or tne two-year cruiaw in fluent English. He said he tired of the placid lite In Canada about 20 years ago and had traveled to China where he entered the customs servioa of that country, being engaged for several years In pursuit and fighting ot Chinese pirates and smugglers.

Lator he married a Chinese woman, and upon his arrival his ship personnel consisted of himself, his wife, their 11-year-old son Robert and a newspaper man. who had joined the cruise at Vancouver.

June .2 Henry Ford's Muscle Shoals bid and the attitude of the Administration towards it are denounced in vigorous terms In the majority report of the Senate agriculture committee, which at the same time recommend enactment of the amended Norris bill for Government ownership' evnd supervision. The report drafted by Senator NorVls, Republican, Nebraska, chairman of the committee, makes repeated reference to what It terms Mr. Ford's withdrawal as a candidate for President and his decision to support President Coolldge and assails in particular the plan to replace in the properties the Gorgas steam plant sold to the Alabama Power Company for 2, 472,427. "When the sale of the Gorgas plant," saysi the report, "was maae by the Secretary of War, in which I have said he simply carried out the contract made by his predecessor, Mr. Ford, who was at that time MnHlriat.

fni Pi-Aairient of the United States, became exceedingly angry and condemned the Secretary of War, and through him the Administration, in unmeasured discourteous terms. "To appease his anger, a vacillating Administration publicly announced that the amount received for the Gorgas plant would be credited upon the 15,000,000 which Mr. Ford agreed to pay for Muscle Shoals, in cose his bid was accepted by Congress. Appeased Ford. "This kindly favor, perhaps superinduced by other considerations, so pleased Mr.

Ford that his anger at the Administration was not only turned into love and admiration, but he became so violently friendly that he himself withdrew is candidate for' President and announced his support of the Executive who had made such a liberal concession." The House bill, the report says, carries out the idea of the President in reference to the sale of the Gorgas plant and directs the Secretary of war to purchase a steam power plant of 40,000 horsepower on the Wurlar River, on which the Gorgas plant is situated, upon land to be obtained by purchase or condemnation, and to purchase or condemn a right-of-way therefrom to Muscle Shoals, and turn a over 10 ine ur.u corporation. "This additional gift ought to satisfy Mr. Ford and keep him good-natured, at least until after election, the report adds. "No one has ever offered an excuse for directing the Secretary of War to condemn private property and pay for it out of public funds, in order to turn it over to a private corporation to be used for the sole benefit of that corporation. As far as I know, this Is the first time such a thing has ever been attempted.

FALLON FAILS TO APPEAR IN COURT; BAIL FORFEITED No Word Received From Lawyer Accused of Bribing Juror and of Conspiracy. Wlllt.nt Vnllnn'i hall fit IK AOfl was forfeited today when the lawyer failed to appear In the Federal Court in Manhattan for trial on charges of bribing a Juror and conspiracy to Obstruct justice. A bench warrant had previously been issued. Assistant U. Attorney William J.

Millard informed the court, so no further action was taken. The court was crowded with litigants and spectators, many of whom had come to be present when Gaston B. Means should be called for trial and in expectation that Fallon would appear. The attorney has been sought for more than a week by Department of Justice agents and deputy S-marshals, but Federal authorities believed he would voluntarily appear today. The case was twice called by Assistant U.

S. Attorney Maxwell a Mattuck and each time Mr. Millard answered "Ready" on behalf of the Government. Millard then requested the bail be forfeited. He said he wanted to state on behalf of Fallon's counsel, John Curtln, that he had heard from Cur-tin and was Informed by htm he had been unable to find his client.

APPELLATE COURT GLASSON SEWER Fractional Payment by Local Area Approved. Acceptance Now Antici-t pated. The Appellate1 Division today unanimously affirmed the order of mandamus Issued by Supreme Court Justice Leander B. Faer, directing the Collector of Assessments and Arrears to accept from local area property owners one-third of the assessment originally levied against them for the cost of the Classon ava. trunk relief sewer.

Justices Jaycox, Manning, Kelby, Young and Kapper concurred In the affirmance. In addition to upholding all the points of law cited by Justice Fa-per, they declared that the Ruger bill, by which two-thirds of the assessment was spread over the whole city, was permissive and not mandatory, and that the municipal authorities were merely empowered by It to correct any inequalities. An effort was made to determine whether Controller Craig, who opposed the mandamus order with special counsel, while the Corporation Counsel, represented by Assistant Charles J. Druhan, fought for the order, would appeal. "Until we study the matter we cannot tell," It was said at the finance department.

As a result of the affirmance today, It is expected, however, that the tax authorities will begin accepting the one-third payment that has been offered by property owners since the Ruger bill was passed in 1923 and has been refused persistently by the colleotor of assessments and arrears at tho Instigation of Controller Craig. The fight to have the Classon ave. sewer assessments shifted mostly to the city at large' has been going on tor a number of years- First the city officials tried to adjust it on a petition of property owners and that failed because of the insufficiency of the petition. The Ruger bill was then passed allowing the city officials to shift two-thirds of the assessment to the city at large and leave one-third on the bills of the local area owners, but Controller Craig refused to consent and the mandamus proceeding was then instituted by Alfred J. Hudson, studies.

Carter, according to Mrs. Crowle, was only a casual acquaintance. At the. party Saturday night one of the guests suggested that Miss Cole In all probability rould not so much as catch, a rabbit, let alone sustain life, health and comfort under such conditions as were de plcted in the novel. The young woman Insisted that she could, but said nothing about proving It the time.

Just what time she and Carter left the houso is not known. Miss Cole's uncle, Frank Bekiun, ct 206 E. 27th Manhattan, be lieves she will turn up safe and sound. "Helen is very athletic," he said "I believe she Is on a dare-devil stunt but Is perfectly capable ot tak ing care of herself." He said he did not know Carter, A checkup on the clothing found In the girl's room showed that she had set out on her adventure wear Ing a thin evening gown and silk pumps.

State's Attorney Crowe announced that tomorrow he will ask for In dictments charging kidnaping for ransom and murder. The State's Attorney is grimly determined that the two wealthy students shall pay the supreme penalty for their crime by hanging. The legal battle in which all the resources of the combined wealth of the three families concerned, estimated at 126,000,000, will bo thrown was begun today, counsel for the prisoners applied for their release on a writ of 'habeas corpus. Defenro Wins First Victory. Chief Justice Caverly continued the hearinar on tho writ until June 6 and ordered the boys sent to jail without bond, but placed tnem in tne custody of the Sheriff, which constituted a victory for the defense.

The defense attorneys saia mey hart no exDectatlon of freeing the boys, but made their move solely to obtain autnonty to coneuii wm them. This was accomplished by the court's ruling, and the lawyers Immediately went into conference with the prisoners. Meanwhile the police were centering their attention today on the real motive for the crime and at tho same time probing into the Inside history of the strange, uncanny re-Intlonship which bound the two students so closoly together for 16 years, even to participation In an atrocious crime. The motive is now the outstanding element of mystery in the case, for this is the one detail of the youths' confession which the police do not wholly accept. The opinion of psychiatrists that both slayers are abnormal, the statements of their friends and the investigators' own observations have led to the suspicion that the kidnaping and ransom tale was trumped up to cover some far more sinister and darker storyi In this angle of the investigation the police expect to be helped by the slayers themselves; for they are now sworn enemies.

Each accuses the other of the actual murder and their bitterness may lead to fresh disclosures. The inquest into tho death of th 19-year-old victim also is set for to. Leopold nd Loeb are in separate cells now, with guards stationed nearby to prevent them from com. mlttlng suicide. Loeb, the weaker of the two, is almost completely crushed.

He has no appetite. He is sorry for his crime and curses his chum in un. printable language, putting all the blnme on hint. Even yet, however, he does n'Jt seotn to realise the seriousness of his plight. He talks of going to Jail for five years, says It will "make a man of me," and looks forward to hard work and a brilliant career after his release.

1. H. QUIT III 10 DAYS, DEPUTIES AGREE Painleve Has Rival Presidency Poincare May Be Senate Leader. Millerand's Position Like A Republican Presiding Over Democratic Cabinet Eagle Bureau, 51 Rue Gambon. By GUT HICKOK.

Parle, Franca, June I Stripped to Its essentials, the real motive back of the determined effort to oust President Mlllerand is to be found in the fact that should he continue in office in the face of the defeat of his National Bloc, at the recent elections he will be placed In lire anomalous position of presiding, as a Nationalist, over a Cabinet headed by EJuoard Herriot, leader of the Left Bloc, and made up of Left Bloc members. For a counterpart In America it is necessary to Imagine a Republican President presiding ovr a Cabinet made up of Democrats, Decauae tne French President also presides at all Cabinet meetings. Paris, June 2 (By the Associated Press) The lobbies of the Chamber were dominated today by discussion of the possible candidates for the presidency of tho Republic, the Deputies being generally agreed that no matter what resistance President Mlllerand may offer to the offensive of the Radical Socialists, the Elysee Palace Is bound to be vacated Within 10 days. The presidents of the Senate and of the Chamber are always the first persons to. be thought of in connection with the Presidency of the Republic, although tradition was broken in the cases of both M.

Mlllerand and M. Poincare, both of whom were Premiers when they were elevated to the highest post in the Republic 1 Former Premier! Paul Painleve. the choice of the new majority for the residency of the Chamber, is thought to be the preferred candidate to succeed M. Mlllerand of great proportion of the Radicals and Socialists, but it is pointed out mat uaston uoumergue, resident of the Senate, has a wider circle of political friends and is likely to be pushed vigorously ythe Radical Senators. The Socialists, it is expected, will support Painleve solidly In order to promote a vacancy In the presidency of the chamber which might be filled by the choice of the socialist leader.

It is pointed out that the vote for president of the republic is secret, that party discipline is less operative than under other circumstances and thus that surprises are possible. It is even suggested thatt he Senate, resenting the violent attacks made by the new chamber on the government presided over by oneof its honored members, might make a manifestation In favor of M. Poincare. The Senate which is generally opposed to all useless manifestations Is thought likely to give the leader of the Chamber the advice that they had better go slow in setting precedents. The majority In the Upper House is radical but of a more conservative tint than tho radicals of the Chamber and strongly inclined to favor M.

Poincare. The outgoing Premier is known to be stoutly loyal to M. Mlllerand and if his Influence should weigh In the balance, the Senate would probably reject the decision of the majority in the Chamber that a chancre at the Elysee Palace Is necessary. However, older members of the Chamber are of the opinion that the crisis has now gone too far to be stopped. The election of M.

Doumergue would make vacant the presldenoy of the Senate and for that post again the name of M. Poincare comes up lrrepressibly. The outgoing Premier has had all the honors he could possibly expect from France excepting the presidency of the Senate and of the Chamber and the head of the Law yers Association and some of his friends are already advocating hlrt) as successor to M.

June 2 The House tnrtay adopted a resolution calling for sine die adjournment of Congress at 7 P.M. next Saturday. Sen-ale concurrence is required. A proposal for a recess for month or six. weeks, and a return to consider a definitely outlined program, was being discussed meantime-by members of the Senate farm bloc and some progressives.

It was expected the susrcestlon would be Introduced In the Senate ay a sub- stltute for the adjournment resolution. The adjournment resolution was adopted In the House by a vote of 221 to 1S7. The opposition came chiefly from Democrats, Republican Insurgents, i and other Republicans from the Middle and Far West, who have been demanding action on farm, reclamation and railroad legislation. Scant encouragement was given at first to the recess proposal. Both the Republican and Democratic Senate leaders were said to be convinced that a non-partisan majority was in favor of adjournment.

During this period he was not only attacked by pirates but the following night while a typhoon raged he heard a strange sound or. the deck above the gale and, ascending to it wth drawn rifle and three revolvers In his belt, came face to face with a l-foot python, which was subdued with four shots but not killed.

This was when he was about six days out. After four shots failed to kill the python the captain 'proceeded to skin the reptile alive. The two Chines sailors aboard the craft declined to assist him in the skinning of the python, so ho was forced to do this work alone. The boys were superstitious, regarding It as a sort of god. They feared they would suffer 111 luck If they aided in the python's destruction.

For several hours they rent the air with walls following thi slaughter. However, as they had not refused the flesh of his pet dog, Wang, which he had been forced to kill en route, he had no scruples about serving them r. nh of th reptile's flesh, which they said was as superb a dish as Chinese chicken.
