WASHINGTON CITY, TUESDAY, Debate Move To Put Parley Off 6 Months Action May Be Forced to Avoid Breakdown of Navy Negotiations London, Match 25 -Adjournment of the Naval Conference for six months as a means of escaping the present impasse was being definitely considered today.

The adjournment would contemplate reassembling of the conference on Oct. 1, thus giving an opportunity for a possible agreement before Christmas. This suggestion is now under advisement, but it was in authoritative conference circles that it would not be made effective until all hopes have vanished for a fivepower agreement at this time. Leaders Meet Today Whether some sort of a pact would be signed prior to an adjournment was a matter of speculation. The heads of the five delegations planned to meet this a afternoon to Please Turn to Page 2 $63,000 Thief Jailed on Visit To His Mother Wig Betrays Man Who Looted Armored Car in City 5 Months Ago By WILBUR E.

ROGERS Red-headed Raymond Gallagher, with an impudent swagger and a jaunty air, strolled out of the lineup room at Police Headquarters today, apparently as carefree as if he hadn't just admitted stealing $63,000 and didn't face a long stretch in the "big house" at Ossining. Young Mr. Gallagher, or Raymond Gallagher as the police records now carry him, is the chauffeur who drove off with an armored car, back on Oct. 17, 1929, took the $63,000 it contained and went away. He's the same man who used about $2,000 of that money to pay a lot of debts, and who has, since the theft, been leading the police a merry chase all around the coun- try.

Wig Betrays Him cops got him last night in Paterson, N. where he unsuccessfully tried to hide his fiery locks with a brown wig which was jolted loose when a detective bumped into him. Today, at Headquarters, he was one of those dapper crooks you read about. He was wearing a well pressed brown suit and a new and good looking soft hat, perched at just the right angle. He wore black shoes- with spats.

He didn't make any further mystery for the police. Once they had arrested him, he "came He told them that he had driven off the armored car and had taken the money. He said that $25,000 of it Please Turn to Page 2 WALL STREET MARCH 1930. PAGES THREE CENTS EAGLE 2:45 o'Clock Ticker Prices EUROPA BREAKS OCEAN RECORD BY 18 MINUTES; CROWDS GIVE WELCOME Governor Indicates He Will Approve Kleinfeld-McCreery Bill Eagle Bureau, Capitol Building. By CLINTON L.

MOSHER Albany, March, 25 At the eleventh hour Governor Roosevelt today vetoed the Wallace bill splitting up the ad Judicial District and creating a 10th District, composed of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk. Following his action of last year, the Governor disapproved the bill of Assemblyman Edwin W. Wallace, Republican, of Nassau, on the ground that it is unconstitutional for the Legislature to set up a new judicial district without passing a constitutional amendment and submitting it to the electorate. In his veto message Governor Roosevelt said he was convinced the use of the word "alter" in the State Constitution allowed only a realignment of the counties within the existing districts. Governor Favors More Judges Pointing out that congestion can be relieved only by providing more Justices, Foosevelt indicated strongly that he will approve the KleinfeldMcCreery bill for eight more Justices if the Republicans agree to pass it.

"I am perfectly sure in my own mind that the framers of the judicial articles of our State Constitution, as well as the voters who ratified these articles, intended that additional judicial districts be set up, throughout the history of the State, only by constitutional amendment," said Roosevelt. "If, as seems very clear, there is an immediate need of additional justices to handle the congested calendars in the 2d District, these additional justices can be provided by legislation. "I vetoed a bill similar to this one last year for the same reasons." Queens to Demand Two Judges Determined to get their ure of patronage, Queens Democrats will demand from Kings County Leader John H. McCooey two of the eight new places proposed for the Supreme Court Bench in the Second Judicial District, it was learned today. One place will not satisfy the Democrats on the other side of Newtown Creek.

When the Kleinfeld-McCreery bill, backed by McCooey, was first introduced it only provided for six new justices. Senator Alfred J. Kennedy, Democrat, of Queens protested loudly and the number was raised to eight. Since the bill was amended to provide for another two jobs solely at the instigation of the Queens County organization, the Democrats there now maintain that the increase rightly belongs to them. This means that if the tentative agreement between McCooey and County Republican Leader Meier Steinbrink is affirmed and the Queens Democrats receive their demands, McCooey and Steinbrink will be on an equal footing so far as Brooklyn is concerned, each having the right to dispose of three places.

Theofel Goes to Albany John T. Theofel, the Democratic leader of Queens, is due here today to confer with his Senators and Assemblymen. It is expected that the mater of the judgeships will be threshed out. The agreement reached by McCooey and Steinbrink through intermediaries called for five Democrats and three Republicans for the new jobs, plus a Democratic indorsement for Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey, whose term expires this year.

If McCooey has to give Queens two places, his own share in the patronage will be three Supreme Court justiceships. Actually, Steinbrink will be better off, since he will have three places plus Cropsey. H. D. Moore, Banker, Dies at Jersey Home Haddonfield, N.

He has had to cancel special performances of the Russian opera "Boris Goudonoff" at La Scala, in which he sings the title role. Sang at Metropolitan M. Challapin is 57 years old.

He was born in Kasan, Russia, and in his adolescence served an apprenticeship to a shoemaker, later working as railway porter and stevedore on the Volga River boats. He made his opera debut in Tiflis in 1892, and since has made a name. for himself as one of the greatest bassos the musical world ever has known. He has frequently appeared in concert and opera in the United States, and early in 1929 sang in "Boris" and "Faust" at the Metropolitan Opera House, He was ill on his arrival here at that time but recovered to sing the season. Soviet Contract Recalled Chaliapin was divorced in 1927 from Yolle Ignatievna, whom he had married 29 years before but with whom he had not lived for 21 years.

He obtained his divorce under the Soviet regime, making a voluntary settlement of $300 a month on his wife--a settlement bitterly protested by the Soviet. When he came to New York it was widely reported that the Soviet had exacted from him a stipulation that a large portion of his earnings be paid to the Soviet Government. The following year he married Mme. Marie Petzhold, a Russian emigre living in Paris, who has accompanied him since on his tours. The singer was recently reported as one of the heaviest losers in the failure of the National Bancorporation of America, of which Morris Greenberg of Brooklyn was president.

According to the story told by Mrs. Ford, she was in the school auditorium yesterday with 350 pupils when Caruso grabbed a book from the hand of another pupil and threw it on the floor.

Dry Chief After Switch One. of 3 Considered for Post-Doran Will Stay in Treasury Job Eagle Bureau, Colorado Building. By HENRY SUYDAM Washington, March 25-Dr. James M. Doran, Prohibition Commissioner, will not continue in the prohibition unit when it is transferred to the Department of Justice, it was stated today.

Dr. Doran, who has been in the Treasury Department for 30 years, will remain in the Treasury in charge of the distribution of industrial alcohol. Reports current in New York that Maurice Campbell, Prohibition Administrator Eastern New York, would resign were not countenanced here. Both Dr. Doran and Assistant Secretary Lowman said they 1 had heard of no such intention and did not believe it.

The fact is that, far from resigning, Campbell is one of three men who are being considered for Proprohibition Commissioner when the reorganization takes place. The others most prominently mentioned are two Pennsylvanians, John D. Pennington, who has been administrator at Pittsburgh for four years, and Col. Samuel O. Wynn, Administrator for eastern Pennsylvania.

Another man whose name is being mentioned in this connection is Alf Oftedahl of California. Oftedahl used to be assistant to Doran. He is now a special agent in San Francisco. If he were selected he might encounter opposition in the Senate, if for no other reason than that an attempt recently was made to appoint him to Federal office as a Marylander, whereas he had no residence that State. There are said.

too, to be Senators who do not think Oftedahl is the sort of man to put at the head of prohibition enforcement in the event of a new deal. 100 Chickens Suffocated 20 Families Flee Fire Twenty familles were routed to the street and considerable property damage was done early today by a fire that started in the one-story frame structure at 53-55 Moore St. and spread to the adjoining building at 57. The building was occupied by stores and the families living nearby were forced to the street as a precautionary measure. One hundred chickens in one of the stores were suffocated to death.

William Weisman, a furrier, occupied the building where the fire started. Abraham Benjamin occupied the adjoining structure. Grand Jury Absolves Cop In Shooting of Negro Student The Grand Jury today exonerated Patrolman Walter Lowe of the Grand Ave. station of all guilt in connection with the shooting Sept. 9 last of Ralph Baker, 24-year-old Negro student, of Montclair, N.

on the Rockaway Ave. station of the Fulton St. This sustains the action of Magistrate Mark Rudich, who had previously dismissed the charges. The Rudich dismissal was followed by a complaint to Chief Magistrate McAdoo, who issued a warrant for the re-arrest of the patrolman, The shooting took place on the I platform after an altercation on a Stocks Reach Record Highs In Bull Market 3 Million Shares Had ChangedHands at 1:30 -Ticker Is Far Behind Stocks soared to record high levels today in the biggest bull market of the thus far. Trading was SO heavy that the ticker was conpeat, sistently from a half to threequarters of an hour late, and by 1:30 p.m.

more than 3,000,000 shares had changed hands. U. S. Steel, American Telephone, American Can and Standard of New Jersey were four pivotal stocks which reached record high levels, while various other issues followed briskly. A wave of profit taking checked the advance about midday, but new buying came in and new stocks came forward.

Among the favorite issues which showed advances to new peak prices were Bethlehem Steel, Goodyear, Goodrich, Warner Pictures, Paramount, Vanadium, Briggs, Shattuck, Matheison Alkali and Hershey. There was little in the news to account for the movements and the gains were thought to be largely the result of increased public buying, stimulated 1 by the recent upswing of the market. Bankers bill rates were slightly higher and call money was at percent. Merger rumors were active. Pools were busy with special stocks.

T. Riotto, head of the Lace and Embroidery 'Association of America, levelled a sharp attack on the proponents of the measure today. "The bill was slipped over by Grundy at the insistence of the American lace manufacturers," Mr.

Riotto charged. "It will mean that the American woman who has formerly paid $1 a. yard for netting will pay from $1.40 to $1.60 a yard hereafter, to say nothing of its effect on trade relations with France. Only One Netting Factory in U. S.

"There is only one factory in America devoted to the manufacture of netting," Mr. Riotto said. "That is American Bobbinette Factory at Newburgh, N. Y. There are only 54 netting machines in the entire country, according to the Tariff Commission, while the Department of Commerce lists only 28 machines." Senator Hebert, who introduced the bill, declared he did so because the lace manufacturers were in difficulties.

Taking issue with that statement, Mr. Riotto said today "the lace manufacturers have never been in better condition since the war."

Schoolboy Tells How Gang Made Him Rob Chance Talk Over Cup of Coffee Turned Leo Genova Into Member of Robber Band, One of Whom He Saw Shot-Court Hints at Leniency By WILLIAM WEER Here is a story which shows in normal and respectable streets of Brooklyn into a life It is the story of Leo Genova, County Judge W. this afternoon, to a charge of burglary in the second degree, as a first offender. Smooth-faced except for a few first sproutings of a new beard, nervous and frightened, Leo told his story. He said: "I am 16. On March 31, that's next Monday, I'll be 17.

I'm a student- or I was until this happened-at DeWitt Clinton High School, in the seventh grade. In June I was to graduate and then I was going to take up dentistry.

A couple of months ago I had a date with a girl friend. We went to Loew's Broadway Theater, in Brooklyn, and after the show we went to an ice cream parlor and we had a soda. Then I took her home. Corraled in a Cafeteria "On the way back to my own home I dropped in at a cafeteria at Broadway near Myrtle Ave. for a cup of coffee.

I was having my coffee when a couple of older fellows sat down at the same table and started talking to me. They were about 30, I figured. They asked me if I was working, and I said I wasn't, I was going to school. One of them picked up my check and paid it. "I used to drop in at the cafeteria frequently, and a few nights later I saw them there again, and then maybe once or twice later.

They always talked to me. They seemed to be all right. "Last Friday night I was in there and I met them again. They asked if I was working yet, and then one of them said that a certain person owed him money, and that if I went along with him to a card game he'd get it and I could have some of it. I didn't want to go, but he said, 'Come on along; you won't have to do anything except stand Finally I let him drag me along.

Templeton, appearing before Judge F. Bret Thorn at the opening of court this morning, said he had received word from United States Attorney General William Mitchell to represent the Indians, Lila Jimerson and Nancy Bowen, her alleged accomplice.

Washington, March 25 -In a statement to The Eagle today Senator Royal S. Copeland, one of the seven Democrats who voted for the tariff bill, held that New York State would be benefited. Senator Robert F. Wagner, who voted against the bill, promised a statement later. "In the first place, there ought not to have been a revision of the tariff," said Senator Copeland.

"There was no demand for it, no reason for general revision. But the President called the special session to give agricultural relief and then allowed the House to make a general revision of the tariff. "As far as New York, State is concerned, it is benefited. Certain industries have been provided for. In my acceptance speech I promised to work for 8 tariff on brick, cement, gypsum, leather and shoes, chipped bats.

The Senate put a duty on brick and cement and improved the hat rates. While it did nothing to leather and shoes, the House put 8 tariff on those articles and perhaps the conference report will eventually benefit the Brooklyn shoe industry. We failed only on gypsum.

My chief objections to the Senate bill are the excessive prices it will create on foodstuffs and woolen garments." train, according to Lowe.
