13 Three men who yesterday were detained by police for questioning in connection with the kidnaping early this summer of Willard H. Elliott, executive officer of the Hobart Trust Company In Passaic, were released today on order of Assistant Prosecutor James M. Dunn. Mr. Dunn declined to say why the men had been released, what they had revealed or what furtner action mieht be taken, except to say that he "expected to arrest a prominent Passaic man some time today," and that the "evidence I have will be given to the Grand Jury." The three released men are James Jackovics, former employee of the Trust Company; Joseph Bonglorno, and Solly Morettl.

No charge was made against them. Elliott was forced into an auto mobile while on his way to work by three men and held captive six days. He was unable to assign any motive for his kidnaping but expressed the belief that it was caused by some one who desired his absence from the bank during that period.

The full city ticket will be announced Monday. One of First Mayor Candidates. Metz was one of the first candidates mentioned for the fusion nomination for Mayor. Soon after he entered the race it was recalled that at one time he had favored a higher fare. His stock, with that of other so-called independent Democrats, took a sharp drop when it became apparent that LaGuardla would make a primary fight for the nomination if the leaders turned him down.

The Square Deal party has opened headquarters on the second floor of the Hotel Imperial. The workers are engaged in organizing a cam paign committee. The Republicans have been encouraged by the candidacy of Enright, believing that as a Democrat and a former Police Commissioner he will be able to sub' tract Democratic votes from Walker by hammering away at Tammany witn inside dope on tne Police De partment. William M. Bennett, the dry Re publican fighting LaGuardla in the primaries, declared today that gang warfare a la Chicago would flour' ish in New York if the Congressman were elected.

Citing the speakeasy as the breed lng place of crime, he said: "Just as long as these dives are permitted to operate without fear of law these racketeering gentlemen will con tinue to fatten on their criminal levies upon the honest merchant. Likened to Chicago Policy. "The policy announced by Major LaGuardla In which he declared he would not let the police interfere with speakeasies is the same pro gram that Big Bill Thompson se lected and which has made Chlca go the home of racketeers, gunmen, murderers and traffickers In drugs, "A month ago it was said the va rious rackets in Chicago were cost' lng Chicago merchants more than $180,000,000 a year. New York has become another Chicago with the racketeers' levies undoubtedly sur passing the Chicago figure. If Mr.

LaGuardla should be elected and stick to his present pro-speakeasy piatiorm the hundreds or business' men, the milk business, garment makers and other merchants of this city would soon find their lot Intolerable."

Slater was sentenced to death for a sensational murder of a woman at Glasgow, in 1908. The government gave him $30,000 compensation when acquitted. "Slater is not a murderer but an ungrateful dog," declared Sir Arthur. Slater, found on th egolf links at Brighton, said: "I can't pay.

could sing, she sailed out of Hoboken as a ship's stewardess. She went to Vienna, first, and there gave lessons in English in return for her singing lessons. Later she went back to stenographic and translation work on which she supported herself until in June, 1923, when he professor gave a students' recital. There followed a Concert tour through Central Europe, and at last opera engagements at Altenburg, Schwerin, Bremen, Barmen, Elber-feld, and Selingen, in Germany. Later she made a concert tour of Africa, and then came back to Italy, from where she sailed.

The ardors of those experiences are written Into her countenance now. Blond and buxom, with a round, full face, she bears no resemblance to the opera singers of tradition. She was dressed in dark blue when she disembarked this morning a dark blue coat and dress, and a black velvet off-the-face hat that enhanced rather than subdued the face beneath it. She came with no fanfare. Her entourage was nil.

She arrived with her portable typewriter still in hand taking no chances on the future. But she came with a benign confidence in musical America. "After seven years abroad," she said, "I've no doubt left but that America is the best place in the world for singers. It isn't a good place for opera singers, its true, because nobody cares for opera. But it is for concert singers, and I'm inclined to think 1 that's to Amer ica's credit.

It takes a keener ap preciation of music to enjoy con certs than it does to enloy operas. In the latter you have all the color nnd dramatic panorama to enhance the music. But in concert recitals nothing to enjoy but voice, inter pretation and personality. Americans are laDoring unaer a false he went on, "when they assume that foreigners art the best singers and the best teachers From my observation, Americans abroad excel the foreigners In both respects. In Milan there are no less than 3,000 American gins studying music.

There are, ol course, count less Italian women and men study lng also. 'But the American girls are by all odds the most assiduous pupils, the most Intelligent and thorough work ers. They go to study not only voice but dramatic technique as well. And they work hard. The Italians, on the other hand, take it lor granted that because those things come to them more or less easily they need no perfecting.

'In the face of those conditions, American girls are being charged outrageous prices for their debuts, and the Italians are paying little attention to their merits. I'd strongly urge anyone hero with talent to de velop it at home. Now that Miss Redell is home she intends to stay here. She will make her American debut next month at Carnegie Hall- and devote her hours meantime to writing about the con ditions In musical circles in Europe as she found them. MICHAEL STRANGE ARE SENTENCED IN STOCK FRAUD1 First to Be Convicted in Tuttle's Bucket Drive.

Rideal, 75, Gets 4 Yrs. Charles F. Rideal, 78, and Richard H. Woolfall, 65, both Englishmen, were today convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with sales of Universal Utilities Company stock. Federal Judge Ervln sentenced Rideal to four years imprisonment and Woolfall, whom the Jury had commended to the mercy of the court, to one year and one day.

Both men left the courtroom in custody to begin their sentences in the Federal House of Detention. They will be removed to Atlanta Penitentiary as soon as there are enough prisoners awaiting transpor- tation to justify the Government in chartering a car. The trial of Rideal and wooifal, first of suspected stock operators to face a jury since Federal Attorney Tuttle began his drive against tipsters, bucketshops and stock promoters, attracted much attention at the Federal Building. While Rideal was on the stand on Tuesday, Mr. Cooke introduced in evidence a letter written by the defendant 1903 in which he in formed an English friend tha Americans, when it came to making; money out of them, "are about as silly a set of geese as were ever plucked by human nanas.

Girl Admits Sending Notes.

Denver, Sept. 13 (IP) E. B. Averill, special operative of a Denver Investigating service, said today that Miss Frances Carlson, 18, stenographer In the Bank of Telluride, told him "unwittingly" she sent from Denver two cf the six faked telegrams by which C. D.

Waggoner sought to defraud six New Yorlt banks of $500,000. Miss Carlson Is one of the persons subpenaed by a Federal Grand Jury In New York as witnesses In the case. Averill arrived here yesterday with Clarence E. Downtaln, cashier of the Bank of Tellurlde, who also la subpenaed. The young woman told the detective she had sent the telegrams from Denver at the request of a woman whom she did not know and who told her it was a bit of work to be done for Waggoner.

In addition to a signed statement from Miss Carlson. Averill said he had in his possession a "practice sheet," on which the young woman had copied the faked telegrams dictated to her by Waggoner. The detective said the "practice shfcet" bore the names of the six Denver banks which were signed to the telegrams that resulted in building up the $500,000 credit in New York.

The patrolman was called into action by an individual who pointed to Flynn and another youth fleeing with bundles, crying he'd been robbed. Schuchman shouted to the pair to halt and fired one shot.

Twelve men and women, somewhat bedraggled, somewhat sore and bruised, appeared in New Jersey Avenue Court today, on disorderly conduct and assault charges, following the first big riot Brooklyn has known in 10 years. A Harlem Negro, who calls himself a labor organizer and who is a member of the Communist party picked Stone and Pitkin in i the heart of Brownsville, last night as a place to criticize the Jews of Palestine in their wars with the Arabs.

Immediately following that two policemen tried to break up a meeting that was approaching the riot stage. As a result of both events there was a real riot, in which nightsticks were used to quiet the mob. A general riot call was sent over police and fire telegraph wires. It brought more than 200 uniformed men reserves from every Brooklyn precinct detectives, two squads of emergency policemen, commanding officers, several fire engines and ambulances. This army subdued the rioters, but not before blood had been spilled in the hand-to-hand fight of 20 minutes.

Two Win Parole. The aftermath of the rioting came in the arraignment of the alleged disturbers today. Harold Williams, the slim young Negro orator whose opinions started the, fireworks, of 235 W. 129th Manhattan, was held by Magistrate Brill in $200 bail on a charge of disturbing the peace. Hyman Kusher, 17, 619 Stone was charged with felonlus assault on Patrolman Michael King, the complaint alleging that he struck the patrolman with something blunt when the latter tried to drag him from the speakers' stand.

He was held in $1,000 bail for hearing on Sept. 19. Isidore Greenberg, 34, 1826 Pitkin and Edward Brown, 39, 1600 Eastern Parkway, were paroled on charges of disorderly conduct. The' following were held in $200 each on charges of disturbance: Nathan Gibel, 19, 61 Varet Hyman Gordon, 23, 106 Van Buren Jack Harris, 30, 269 Albany Julius, Samuel and Bessie Cohen, all of 20 Sylvan Coney Island; Harry Yarls, 8720 24th and Sophie Marion, 18. 16S4 Prospect pi.

Assistant District Attorney Hyman Barshay investigated charges by the prisoners that there was no riot until the ponce were called and arrived waving their nightsticks with accuracy und abandon. He said his inquiry showed that the cops did not start the riot and arrived only after It was well under way. Negro's Remarks Resented. It.was about 10:30 p.m. when a crowd of 200 persons stood listening to speakers at an outdoor meet ing at Stone and Pitkin aves.

The police had little interest, because the Communist party has met there every Tuesday and Thursday night lor a year. But at present the Communist party Is divided Itself. Leaders have taken a position rather defending the Arabs In the Palestine situation. Two of the party's newspaper mouthpieces have been under the fire of the executive committee and there have been dissension and grumbling. The meeting last night was supposed to be discussing the Gastonla.

N. strike troubles, when Williams was called upon. For a time he talked about Gas-tonia. Then he criticized the Jewish listeners for their attitude toward the Arabs. What he said was lost In a roar of protest.

Two men reached up and grabbed him. He sputtered and fumed, but he was pulled from his stand and the crowd closed In shouting and roaring. Patrolman Assailed. Sergeant Ginselbacher and Patrolman King of the Liberty ave. station, standing near, pulled night sticks and rushed for the platform.

Ginselbacher grabbed Williams. Somjebody tapped King on the head with some blunt instrument. He almost fell, but swung his night stick to make a circle about him. Bessie Cohen tried to mount the speakers' platform, crying something about "fee speech." As the policemen rushed the mob it seemed to forget William and what he had said. Men and women screamed for "free speech" and "down with the cops." Miss Cohen's brothers, Sam and Julius, both tried to speak.

By this time thousands of persons had Joined the moo. Everyone was fiKhting and snarling. Olnselbacher fought his way with Williams to a telephone, sending a general riot call. Within a few minutes sirens of two emergency car. and the roaring bellow of fire enrtnes filled the air.

Several other police received cuts and bruises. JUDGE RITTER WARNS LAWYER DRY AGENTS SAFE FROM SARCASM Continued From Page 1. derfrig across the courtroom. He was obeyed with alacrity. During the morning session which lasted from 10:30 until almost 1:30, Judge Ritter advised one Government prosecutor to study his case before attempting to try it, gave a charge to the jury which caused them to upset the "dope" by bringing in a verdict of guilty In a liqV.or case, sentenced a man to jail for 15 days for transporting liquor and let another liquor violator a shabbily dressed woman off with a vl5 fine and the promise that it would be $200 or $300 if she was brought in again.

The one trail was that of Luigl Reda of 184 Lincoln the Bronx, who was charged with possessing liquor in the Corona speakeasy. The Government claimed Reda was in charge of the place at the time of the raid, while the defendant in sisted he was "only the porter sweep lng up the store." Reda had a wit ness to testify that he was a houso painter and was working shortly be fore the raid. After the Jury had been selected, Judge Ritter turned to the men in the box. Judge Springs Surprise. "Do I find you in the same frame of mind heretofore expressed to this court concerning your absolute impartiality in liquor cases?" he de manded with a searching iook through his glasses.

The Jurors nodded As the trial proceeded Prohibition Agent Dineen testified that he searched the speakeasy after find ing three men in the place and see ing empty glasses, smelling of liquor on the bar. Reda's attorney, Kestler, immedl btely made the stock objection to a search with no more evidence than empty glasses. Thnse familiar with Prohibition cases expected the case would be thrown out In a minute. But Judge Ritter fooled them, "If there are any suspicious cir cumstances a search is Justified," he declared. At another point in the trial he caused a snicker In the courtroom by forcing Dineen to repeat a sen tence leaving out the slang.

The agent said he frisked the three men in the speakeasy before putting them out. "Whats that?" asked the court sharply. "You did what?" Dineen squirmed uneasily. "I-I searched them for a gun." "Oh, now I understand." When both sides had rested their case the Government, represented by Assistant United States Attorney Conrad J. Prlntzllen, had two conflicting stories by Prohibition agents on the record.

Dineen had testified Reda told him he was the proprietor of the place and not the owner. Agent William O'Brien, who accompanied him on the raid, said Reda told him he was only the porter. One agent repoited threj glasses that smelled of whisky, while the other was certain they smalled of beer. Both agreed that a pint bottle with a Utile whisky was behind the bar and a number of barrel of eer In the cellar. Guilty Verdict Returned.

The defendant stuck to his story that he was only a houso paUiter Who worked in the speakeasy two Saturdays as a porter to "pick up an honest dollar." The Government had failed to prove he was lying and the prohibition agents had Returning o. the Cunard liner Berengaria from Europe today, witfy a group of other Zionist officials. Mr. Lipsty declared that Great Britain's failure, which led to the Jewish-Arab riots in Palestine, was "not intentional but involved with a policy pursued in Palestine. The correct policy would have been to carry out the instructions of the mandate, These have not been fulfilled.

"The proviolns of the mandate agreed on protection for Jews. But greater than protection is the bringing about of those conditions which would make protection an incident To wit: the building of the Jewish National Home." Other Jewish Leaders. With Mr. Lipsky on tha Berengaria were Morris Rothenbcrg, vice president of the Zionist Organization; Meyer Weisgal, secretary, and Dr. Stephen S.

Wise, rabbi of this Free Synagogue of New York and president of the Jewish Institute of Religion. Dr. Wise, who has been opposed to some of the purposes and methods of the Zionists, joined in the declaration that "it is our Imperative duty now to support the leader of the movement in hi3 just demands upon the British Government, whatever may later be estab lished with respect to the railure of the World Zionist Organization to prevent the disaster that has. comi to pass. Both asserted that tne nancis oi the Jewish leaders had been materially strengthened by the state ment of Fresident Hoover, read before the Madison Square Garden mass meeting.

Forsees New Crisis. "It is not becoming in a Jew to day to comment upon the- atrocities in Palestine," began Mr. Lipsky. "The facts speak for themselves. I pass over the terrible things and come to the things that are now of paramount interest and con cern.

My opinion is that the Eng lish have failed in their task. "The Arabs never had any pre tensions to Palestine. By equlvo eating about the purposes of the mandate the British Government has given a handle to the Arabs t) go on pressing for more and more advantages. All the maneuvers of the Arabs are movements against the mandatory government and nut against the Jews. "If the British Government does not fully restate its position, not in words but actions, there will be a new crisis shortly.

HARRISOM AS HYPOCRITIGA antagonistic to the intent of the mandate as far as It tourhes the Jewish National- Home.

So long as It keeps up this attitude there will be trouble. H. C. Luke, who has been the acting commissioner and who was in charge of affairs when the riots occuurred, is openly an anti-Semite. He is the chief vo- litical secretary for England for the Palestine Government and a civil service man.

Wise said: "Ever since I saw Dr. Chalm Weizman. the leader of the Zionisto movement, when in Paris, and he invited my help, and even before I have felt that this is no time ior factions and dissensions in the Zionist movement." "I am amazed to learn that certain men in the forefront of Jewish life in America have intimated that the time has come to renounce poltical ambitions with respect to the up building of the Jewish national hrvmp. "As a matter of elementary Jewish self-respect this is the time to insist more vigorously than ever that Great Britain for its own sake, can do no less than completely fulfill the terms of the Balfour declarations. Britain Is Believed -Ready to Concede 21 Cruisers to U.

Continued From Page 1. this up. One of the elements In the situation la the fact that Great Britain has four ships of 9.750 tons armed with 7.5-inch guns. Two ships are also projected. These six ships, added to the 15 cruisers on the British program, would give Great Britain 21 large cruisers.

The United States, under one sug eestion. would have eighteen 10,000 ton cruisers, plus three, to bring the total up to 21, as above classified. It Is probable, however that Great Britain would object to these three extra ships being of 10.000-ton shiDS with eight-inch ar mament. The United States might consent to reduce the tonnage or armament of these three ships into some new and less powerlul class standing between the and cruiser. United States Seeks Compensation If the figure of 21 were arrived at this would represent a small re duction in the American cruiser program and thus meet one of Mr Hoover's demands.

In a general sense the present issue is how much and in what class the United States shall build the 50.000 tons represented In the differ ence between 18 cruisers, comnrislng a total American cruise: tonnage of zsa.uou, ana tne jus.uuu tons of the program. Oreat Britain will not stand for 23 10.000-ton American cruisers. Neither doej President Hoover wish to complete this program. If the program is cut to 18 ships, there remains the question whether the United States shall find compensation in some smaller, less powerful and new typfl into which further American building can be diverted. The British will not accept too great a disparity in the fighting strength of the two cruiser fleets.

The United States, on Its part, wants some measure of fighting superiority to compensate for the large number of small British shops. Tiie issue seems now to have got down to a question of three cruisers one way or the other, and both Premier MacDonald and President Hoover believe this can be met. It is thought here that while the President rejected the British suggestion, he has countered with a flexible scheme which Mr. Mac-Donald can accept. However, there is no discussing the fact that the viewpoints of the governments are not as close at this time as was at first considered desirable as conditioning the Prime Minister visit.

Then Judge Ritter charged tfie jury, which, after being out scarcely 10 minutes, came back with the finding of "guilty." "Gentlemen," said the Judge In his charge, "this defendant is charged with possession and not with the sale of liquor or maintain ing a nuisance.

It is not necessary to prove ownership ut only his hav ing control over the liquor in such a way that it might be sold. The liquor was there for the purpose of sale and the defendant knew it. Now you have staled that you will give the saix constdera. ticfi Government witnesses as tc those for the defense. This defendant does not look like a porter.

He is too intelligent a man to be a porter. You are to decide whether he was in charge of the place when arrested and whether he had an opportunity to make a sale. You must use common sense in deciding." Reda, a thin, nervous little man who talked fast when on the stand, gesticulating with his hands, had declared that he was hired by a man named Frank Cooper, who owned the place.

When Mrs. Anna soran of 1324 43d st. entered a clea of guilty to possessing liquor with the intent to sell Judge Ritter found that she really meant to plead guilty to possession only. "But mere possession is not a crime," he told her. "If you want to change your plea, then do so.

If you still plead guilty I will fine you $15." Mrs. Soran promptly offered the money. i "But called the Judge, "the next time you'll get $200 or $300."
