Criminal information against two more persons involved In the bank are imminent and still another is regarded as probable.

Perkins and Clark are studying the criminal law in the light of the testimony of these witnesses to determine which sections cover the al-leeed law violations. Federico Ferrari, brother of the ale F. M. Ferrari, president of the nank, was specifically accused of giving false testimony under oath by Commissioner Moses on Tuesday. At the same session Moses brought out wide discrepancies in the testimony that has been given by Judge F.

X. Mancuso, chairman of the board of the City Trust. Mancuso denounced two earlier witnesses Latterio Fiore and Dr. Joseph Saphir as having "deliberately lied." Whereupon Moses asserted that "in fairness to these witnesses" he wanted put into the rec-ird the Mancuso discrepancies. Resume Hearings Tomorrow.

Among the witnesses who have ieen questioned in secret in preparation for the resumption of the public hearings tomorrow are Joseph M. Conn, who solicited accounts for the Atlantic State Bank branch Brooklyn, and J. Vincent Labate, president of Federal Securities. Cohn and Labate were called to the stand a few days after the oublic hearings got under way on May 20. Each refused to sign a waiver of immunity and were not asked to testify.

Cohn told newspaper men he might sign the waiver. Labate has not indicated whether he will recede from his earlier position. Federico Ferrari Is slated to be recalled to the stand again tomorrow and has been instructed tc bring his wife with him. She is I he mysterious Mary Barca whose name appears on the bank books as i he recipient of unsecured loans. Woman to Be Questioned, She will be questioned about bills of large denominations she is alleged to have concealed beneath the rugs and carpets in her home.

Federico was asked on Tuesday what he knew about his wife having money hidden under the carpets and rugs. The stolid Federico said he knew nothing about it. Consequently, Pollak has decided to ask Mrs. irr(iH rtirert.lv. An order which will result In the addition of some 25u.uuu to ine City Trust assets was signed today in Supreme Court, Manhattan.

The order directs the Chemical National Bank and Trust Company to turn over securities it held from the City Trust in its capacity as clearing house for the wrecked bank. The securities, of which $178,000 is in oprporate stock of New York City, viere given the Chemical National to secure it against overdrafts. The overdrafts amount to $28,010, The court has been asked by Warren C. Fielding, of counsel for the Banking Department in the City Trust liquidation, to permit him to pay the $28,010 to the Chemical National and to take back the security collateral. Hunt Hidden Asset.

George I. Pierce, trust officer of the Chase National Bank, coexecutor of the estate of the late bank president. Is continuing his search today in Atlantic City for any hidden assets. The search Is based on reports that have reached that Federico Ferrari had a safety deposit box there and Ferrari's testimony on Tuesday that he visited Atlantic City a lew days after his brother's death and after he had withdrawn $20,200 from the bank. Moses aids are Investigating a report that officers of the bank anJ others Involved In the crash also went to Atlantic City a few days after Ferrari's death to formulate plans for presenting a "solid front" in the event of an investigation.

Mancuso Knows of No Meeting. Judft Mancuso was aked today bout the reported secret meeting in Atlantic City, at which Warder and Mime cf the directors of the City Trust Bank wete said to have met shortly alter Ferraris arain. "I know absolutely nothing about such i meeting," the Judge replied. but I trust the Moreland Commissioner will pusn inquiry along those lines and find out all about such meetinz if It actually was held." Superintendent of Banks Joepn A. Brodrrlck will present his preliminary report on the Banking Tj-rsrtment to Oovernor Roosevelt tomorrow.

Coney Island- bound subway trains were packed with women, children and others panting for the one certain form of relief from the heat, a dip in the ocean.

The Long Beach and the Staten Island and New Jersey beaches, similarly swarmed with bathing crowds of midsummer proportions. As an aid to the wilting popula tion suffering from the protracted heat, Park Commissioner James J. Browne announced today that he has thrown open all city parks un der his Jurisdiction to the public. The order making this effective is to stand "until the not spell is over." Three Schools Close. Three city schools dismissed classes early yesterday, for the first time In more than a decade, because of oppressive heat.

One was P. S. 194, Gerrittsen Beach. The other two were P. S.

38 and 33, Staten Island. The Superintendent said he had authorized district superintendents to issue the order. If a principal finds local conditions necessitate closing school on account of the heat, he or the district superintendent will give the order, and if such connection cannot be established, the principal can dismiss the school on his own responsibility. But Dr. Shea said there would be no general order closing schools in hot weather.

"Our schools gen erally are cooler than the streets," said he. Hollis-Bellaire Civics Are After Girling's Scalp Civic organizations throughout central Queens holding membership in the Central Queens Allied Civic Council were thrown Into an uproar today by the demand of the Allied Civic Associations of Hollis and Bel la ire that Robert S.

Says McCunn Raiders Opened Bottles and Had a "Great Party" The eleven wealthy Brooklyn men who testified at the trial of James M. McCunn that they had bought liquor from him were not Ihe only ones who found it good.

Adblph Castellano, watchman at the Manhattan offices maintained by McCunn, told of the raid on his building and was asked: "Did any of the raiding agents take a drink?" "Immediately," he responded. "They all opened bottles and they had a great party right there." Continued from Page the trial, or at least I don't recall asking it," Judge Holmes said. Then he questioned the foreman, who said he wasn't related to any defendant. Then he turned to Carroll. This was that young man's first appearance as a juror, and he was nervous.

He couldn't describe the relationship very well. Finally, however, he managed to blurt out that his father's sister was married to a man named John McCunn, and he had reason to believe, he said, that John and James McCunn were brothers. James McCunn admitted it was so, but he said he had never seen brother Johns nephew, and hadn't the faintest Idea that that nephew wis the Carroll sitting on the Jury. Learned Fact In Court. "When did you find out about this relationship?" Assistant United States Attorney Watts demanded.

-wny," faltered 'Carroll, "since I've been sitting here I noticed Uncle John in the courtroom. Then I put two and two together and thought Uncle John might be related to McCunn. I asked him, and he said they were brothers. So my father's sister really is married to ine orotner of the defendant." With that admission, Watts, who hadn't ben at all happy at the way the trial was going, asked for a mistrial. M.

Michael Edelstein, attorney for McCunn, said the defendants would very gladly asrree to the dis missal of Carroll and the appointment of a new juror to whom the record taken so far could be read, Judge Reluctant. "There's no provision in law for such a move," Judge Holmes said. The judge was sent up here from Mississippi Just to try this case, and it was evident he didn't want to see an adjournment any more than the lawyers for the defense did. But Watts was obdurate. He wanted a mistrial and he pressed the motion.

There is nothing for me to do. then," said the Judge, reluctantly, Dui to grant a mistrial motion." Thinks Juror Was Honest. "I'm satisfied Carroll didn't know of any relationship when he went to the Jury box," Judge Holmes de clared. "and I'm also satisfied that he acted honestly all the way through." Judge Holmes questioned all of the Jurors before any were chosen. But he didn't ask any of them if tney were related to any defendants, although he did ask them If they knew any or the defendants.

How ever, Carroll, who said he didn't know McCunn or any of the other three, really didn't. It appears, since he had never seen his "uncle-ln law" if that Is what the relation ship is in his life. The mistrial ended an amazing situation. McCunn had gone into court and, through his attorney, had admitted that he sold, transported, stored and even Imported liquor. "That constitutes a violation of the Prohibition law," Edelstein said In court, "and if we are charged with that violation we will plead.

It does not constitute a conspiracy to violate the law, however. McCunn conspired with no one. He did it himself." Th Bank of th Manhattan Company hai bran appointed dapoiltory under da- poall aervpmtni ofiwan Harold M. Lehman. Leo O.

As the rum war broke out on the Detroit River, with Federal and smugglers' craft engaging in a lively but harmless exchange- of gunfire, Police Chief James D.

The Senate finance committee stood guard in the heat of a Washington summer at the deserted Capitol today to toil over the mass of figures involved tn the pending tariff measure while the other members of Congress enjoy a vacation, The recess was taken last night after a day of vigorous debate In the Senate revolving principally about Prohibition and a few hours of discussion in the House over the Administration proposal to postpone the maturity dote of the French war supplies debt. The latter was approved by both chambers before adjournment. Debenture Fight to Last. The final hour of ths session found the Senate again reverting to its dispute with President Hoover over the export debenture farm relief plan.

Senators Norris, Nebraska, and Johnson, California, leaders of the Republican Independent group which supported the dekan-ture proposal, assailed published stories which they said cast aspersions on the motives of Republicans opposing the President on that Issue. Tn contrast to statements that some Senators had voted against the President because of failure to get. patronage. Senator Norris declared he undei stood consldernble "pressure" had been brought to bear on Republicans to win their support for the Hoover viewpoint. The Nebraskan said one Senator had toid him he had been offered "the world with a fence around it" if he would oppose the debentures, However, he said he did not make any accusation of Improper activ ities by Mr.

Hoover himself. Senator Johnson said the news paper accounts demonstrated the kind of "propaganda" sent out when members of the Senate attempted to act Independently. The partic ular story which aroused the discus' sion was one published by the United press Association. Although both the House and Senate adopted the French debt res olution yesterday, the House rushed away to Its vacation before Speaker ring worth could affix his signature. The opinion was expressed both at the Canitol and at the Treasury.

CAUSE OF MYSTERY BLASTS IN ELECTRIC BOILERS IS FOUND Continued from Page densed and returned to the boiler as In ordinary steam practice. Advantages of Boiler. Such a boiler was a very simple steam producer no coal or oil burners to wory about, no firebox to tend, no draft regulation, no smokestacks required, clean and quiet in operation. But those explosions that would happen without provpca7 tion were the fly in the ointment.

J. W. Shipley, assistant professor of chemistry in the University Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, has ascertained the cause of these explosions, found the remedy, and now the problem is practically licked, He disclosed his findings and the very simple remedy at the meeting of the American Electro-Chemical Society held some days ago in Toronto. Prof. Shipley discovered that un der certain conditions the electric current not alone heated the water but caused steam bubbles to form on the electrodes In the boiler water.

The current would disassociate this steam into its component gases, oxygen and hydrogen. Those who have studied chemistry recall that oxygen and hydrogen mixed In the right proportion will combine with explosive violence to form steam when an electric spark is applied. In the electric boilers the current developed the annoying habit of sparking when the steam bubbles formed on the electrodes. This was the spark that brought back into combination the hydrogen and oxygen that the current had previouslv separated out of the water. Steam was formed but suddenly and with more than a useful pressure, with a slightly or perhaps completely ruined boiler, as the result.

High Pressure Solves Problem. The solution of the problem wa simple: Operate the boiler at high pressure. This prevents the formation of bubbles of steam on the electrodes, or such as are formed are very small and do riot cause sparking. Then draw the water heated under, very high pressure out into another compartment where lower pressure Is maintained. Here it produces steam at normal pressure.

Electrically operated boilers are a type of equipment that lt is possible to operate economically because at certain periods of the 24- hour cycle In power houses there Is practically no demand lor current, but power houses must maintain their generating equipment on a full-operating schedule. During such periods the power companies can sell current at very low rates and make a profit for that period. This Is not alone true companies where hydro-electric power Is generated but also of power nouses in larirc cities where steam Is used as the motive power. If some practical heat-storage device could be worked out which would permit the generation of heat during these night hours from elec- Bert Acosta, pilot of Commander Byrd's monoplane America on ita flight to France In 1927, was named as corespondent in a suit for abso- hits divorce heard before Justice -Dike in the Queens Supreme Court today.

Justice Dike reserved decision. Referring to the correspondent as daring aviator," he commented as follows. "Yes, I remember him. I passed on his amorous activities ibme years ago, when a previous wife obtained a divorce from him. So I judge he is a most active gentleman, when he is not aviating, in other people's families.

It Is about time he is eliminated from all public activities. I know his record very well." M0SC0WITZ BACK ON FEDERAL BENCH MONDAY, HE SAYS Continued from Page 1, tocr Thar SiAnm KtMnttlii mm the lawyers favored with receiverships, had been a legal associate of me judge before Judge Moscowita was appointed to the bench. The other lawyers favored were Milton Hertz, present Junior member of the law firm of Stxongln Hertz; Minnie Schwartz, another partner In the firm, and two young lawyers who were salaried employees of the firm. The affidavit alleged that they constituted a "bankruptcy ring" to loot the estates of the financially unfortunate. Accompanied bv Mever Kanlan.

Levine carried his affidavit to Wash ington and there turned lt over to Congressman Andrew Somers of Brooklyn. Mr. Somers, accepting full responsibility for its allegations, asked the investigation. W. Randolph Montgomery, chair man of the Joint committee on bankruptcy appointed by the Bar Association of New York, was the first defense witness called yesterday afternoon when the prosecution rested its case.

The only other defense witness was D. Theodore Kelly, counsel for the National Credit Men's Association. Then Judge Moscoiwtz was questioned lor four and one-half hours. Meyer Kaplan was not called to testify against the Judge. When the hearings ended, neither Mr.

Michener nor John W. Davis, of counsel for Judsa Mosnowlt.x would issue any statement. Judge Moscowltz retained Theodore Kiendl, a Junior member of Mr. Davis' law firm, to defend him. Two weeks later Mr.

Davis offered his services to aid in Judge Moscowltz' defense without any recompense. Eagle Unreal, Capital BalldlntT, Report Surprises Capital. Washington, June 20 Announcement that Federal Judge Oroved M. Moscowitz intends to return to the Bench, without waiting for the re? port of the House investigating committee on charges brought against him, created surprise today in Washington, where lt was suggested that a "whitewash" report Is now in prospect. It had been assumed that Judge Moscowitz would not resume his place on the bench until he had been cleared.

Aa a technical matter, the charges against him are still pending. The subcommittee of the House Judiciary committee, which" has been conducting the investigation, has made no report to the full committee. The full committee could not receive a report until Aug. 19, when the House reconvenes. It was said here that lt was unusual for a Federal Judge under investigation by Congress, to resume his Judicial activities before the investigation had been concluded.
