Turk to a place in the Attorney General's office caused some comment today. Turk had been re garded as a likely candidate until Livingston announced the three names mentioned above. Brooklyn has one more place to fill, but it is in the State Controller's office and it is a question whether Turk would want this.

The prisoners said they were Max Weinberg of 87 Pitt Morris Steinberg of 78 Rutgers Slip and Joseph Kihkelsteln of 321 Madison Manhattan. Each gave his a'c as 22 years. The police attribute to Weinberg the aliases "Minsky" and "Dope." To Mt'Donongh and Beck belongs the credit for rounding them all up. 20 Complainants Kxix-ctcd.

More than 20 complainants were expected to appear in the court today to have a look at the three, who are charged likewise, with robbery and felonious assault as the after math of three spectacular holduns. Three victims of a holdup on Dec. 14. when robbers invaded a directors' meeting of tho Oxcer Benevolent So ciety, at 267 Dumont and stole $1,000 of the funds of the society Identified them as bandits. Two of the victims gave one of the prisoners a severe mauling.

Among them were Samuel Relter of 253 Dumont ave president of the Oxcer Society; Max Boxer of 239 Dumont ave. and Abraham Moran ot 893 Hopkinson ave. When Boxer saw Flnkelsteln he not only identified him as the man who had taken his stickpin but illus trated how he said he had been at tacked by hitting him several times in the face. When Flnkelsteln was rescued one of his eves had a decD ring of black.

called this afternoon as a witness In the McAvoy ransit Investigation, deplored the city's delay in building the subway lines required under the dual contract. He pointed out that the city was faced with the fact that subways which should have been built In 1917 have not yet beer, completed. "Every bit ot delay means that the I. R. T.

Is crowding and Jamming passengers into ears and reaping tho benefits ot that crowding," he said. "At the same tlmo it is putting off the date when the city may expect both better service and a return on its investment." Several other incidents featured the beginning of the fourth week of Justice John V. McAvoy's Inquiry Into the New York City transit situation as a Commissioner under the Moreland Act. Justice MoAvby brought the axe down upon the head of Edmund L. Mooney when the latter rose to heckle Henry L.

Sherman, counsel to the Commissioner, who was conducting the examination of Robert Ridge-way, the first witness called. Sherman had Just pointed out that under present costs the old subway system would have cost more than $500,000,000 to build when Mooney arose. "I want to ask1 a question right here while you are asking questions to make headlines," the special counsel to the City Board of Transportation began. He got no further. "Please sit down until I call upon you," Justice McAvoy ordered.

"I don't want any orations here." Find Another Hylan Promise. During the session Sherman revealed another public promise which Mavor Hylan had made to' build the Nassau-Broad St. This premise, made on Sept, 20, 1922, at a Board of meeting, was reaa Into the record of the inquiry from the minutes of the Board. Rtdgway, in the course of his test! v.onv. revealed discrepancies be t'veea his own and the estimate of John H.

Delaney on the cost of the proposed new subway system. There was a difference of approximately $6,000,000. Ridgway stated that the system would cost $181,000,000, while Delaney had previously testified that the cost would be 000. It was developed later that De lanev had estimated his cost on a four-track system, while Ridgway had fla-ured on onlv two tracks. Ridgway testified further that the plans for the main building of the Coney island shops or tne a.

xvi. t. had been delayed for a month by a request of the operating company, These points, together with the admission that his engineers had not yet submitted to the Board of Estt mate a statement of the cost, time of construction and possible revenue of the new subway system as re quired by law, and that he had no idea when such an estimate would be ready, formed the high spots of his testimony. Has 40 Years' Experience. The opening of the session at 10:1 found Rldgeway on the witness stand, qualifying as an expert in transit engineering by recounting his 40 ve.ira exDerience.

He said lhat he was chief engineer to tho Transit Commission before he be came chief engineer to the Board of Transportation.

Miss Marjorie Fullerton, Brook lyn's best known society soloist. Is now a member of Flo Zligleld's beauty chorus in "The Comic Supplement" scheduled to open In Washington Jun. And Miss Puller-Ion's good looks have given her equally lovely voice the double-cross rhc was literally dragged out of the Uneof applicants und engaged before sue was given a chunce to sing more than two notes. You'll do," was tho terse com ment and now Marjorie is wondering how she can let Mr. Ziegfeld know that she really has a voice.

It's all very well to have a pretty figure but when you have spent hours and davs and months cultivating a voice it's hard to be cnguged for your figure. Yet such is the sud fate of Brooklyn well-known singer. Tin very, very happy to he here. explained Miss Fullerton, disengag ing herself from a score of bare-llmbed nymphs rehearsing on the stage of the Selwyn Theater this morning. "But my friends won't hf'ar me sing when they come to sec 'The Comic I do sing but I really wasn engaged for my voice they wouldn't let me sing, they engaged me when I sang two notes.

She's Lfttlo Bathing Girl. 'I've always wanted to be a prima donnal all girls who sing dream of that, of course. Three weeks ago I decided to apply to Mr. Ziegfeld for a chance. I didn't know then what I know now that 'The Comic Supplement' needed a little bathing girl.

The fat, the tall and the skinny bath ing girls had been secured and they were looking for a little one. I am it, and Miss Fullerton laughed although Just a little ruefully. yvhen they spied me among the applicants they pulled me right out of the line. They lookd at me and then they had ma give them a note or two no more. I didn't really sing at all.

Thfjr engaged me at once. Of course, I'm very happy to be here, but it wasn't my voice that I was engaged for." Looking at Miss Fullerton one wonders how she has escaped the stago before. Sho Is exactly the type to make a hit. Small wonder that she was pulled out ot the line, for the Brooklyn singer is built like the miniature hand of a clock weighing only 85 pounds and standing 4 feet 8 Inches high. Slit Is the type known to theatrical managers as a "pocket with brown eyes and curly brown bobbed hair.

"We four bathing girls do a burlesque of tho old-fushloned bathing girl which Is really very funny. I wear a hat you should see that hat. It's a caricature. And, of course, there's a little singing for me with the others. Then I'm in a cafeteria scene and a street scene and a kissing scene.

I am so happy to.be here. And I'm going to work very hard." Widely Known Here. Miss Fullerton, who was educated at Erasmus Hall High School, is widely known in Brooklyn for her coloratura soprano voice. Sho has been four times a soloist at Chami- nade concerts in the Opera House of the Brooklyn Academy of Music and hus been heard in recital and concert all over the boro. She has sung on the.

radio over A and and was slated to sing over The Eagle radio, WAHG, ou New Year's eve, but was prevented by a cold. All of which meant nothing tot the agents of tho mighty Mr. Ziegfeld, arbiter of girlish destinies, when he glimpsed her miniature prettinc-ss and announced, "You'Jl do." "Marjorie really has a lovely voice," said Mrs. Charles Lorenzo Woody, president of Chamlnado, today. 'Members of Chaminado predict a brilliant future for her for with her really beautiful voice she possesses the ability to work hard.

We feel that the chorus is only the beginning of her future as a singer." Marjorie's mother, Mrs. A. R. Fullerton of 95 Woodruff ave, said today that she wished Mr. Ziegfeld could learn somehow that her daughter has a voice.

"Well, we'll send liim a copy of The Eagle," promised the reporter and she did. W. L. CONNER, BANK EMBEZZLER, GETS 5-10 YEAR SENTENCE Wallace L. Conner, self-confessed embezzler of $80,000 from the Sumner Savings Bank, was today sentenced to Sing Sing prison to sorve an iniTtermlnate term of five to ten years.

County Judge W. Bernard Vause Imposed tho maximum sentence for the charge of grand larceny in the second degree to which Conner plead guilty shortly after his Indictment more than a month ago. According to the authorities, Conner took more than $8,000 a year for ten years from the bank. Shortly before his arrest he wits made cashier of the institution. The specific charge to which he pleaded guilty charged him with having forgea the name of Jacob Kinstel, a depositor of 11 Graham to drafts totaling $4,000.

Jan. 5 L'nless Franc otlhially advances some delinlte prop osllion for settlement of lur huge war debt to the United States within a very short time, good relations be tween the two countries will be placed In serious jeopardy. This prospect Is one from whttli American public opinion has shrunk but the course of events during the past two weeks lead straight, to this probability. It became evident that the Administration is chagrined and disappointed at. the njllure of France to speak out.

The Clementel memorandum, upon being examined this morning, turned out to be nothing more than an Informal, personal anil private expression of the Finance Minister's views. It is really noth ing more than a personal attempt on his part to explain away lug earlier mistake. Secretary Hughes examined communication and: turned it over to Secretary Mellon. The memorandum Is understood to mention a 10-year moratorium and a low rate of interest for an extended period of years. It is in no sense an olflclal communication and has no weight as such.

It makes no oon-. Crete proposition. The Adminlstra tion's comment today was that there is nothing In the memorandum that ran be placed before the American Debt Funding Commission for discussion. The situation, in, other words. Is just where it hav been all along i which is nowhere.

The Administration, disappointed at M. C'lenientel's vagueness and tho failure of tho B'rench Government to speak officially. Issued a broad lntH mation that it is anxiously and ex pectantly uwalting further word fron France. OHieials Still Wondering. It is becoming Impossible for Aili ministration officials not to thins) that the.

French Government is trilling with the United States. The dLt-cussions of Ambassador Jusserandt with the Debt Commission In Decern ber now appear to have had no official basis. The Clementel memor.im dum, which is In no sense a diplo matin note, Is marked possibly private to M. Clementel one administration otlloial remarked oday. The American Government is.

ien, wondering what it Is all about. There is considerable surprise a I the manner in which this memoran dum was conveyed to Washington; if the French government has any thing to say, the ordinary course would be for the foreign office to draft an official note, and to hand it to Ambassador Heniek for trans, mission to Secretary Hughes. It is noted hero with surprise that the French Foreign. Office has avoided taking aiy Part in these discussions, The extraordinary sfep is taken, on the other hand, of the French Finance Minister communicating to Ambassa. dor Herrick his own private and per.

annul thoughts, with the intimation that these might interest Secretary Mellon. This circuillous and unusual per. formance has made a bad impression In Administration headquarters, although, as it was remarked today, Secretary Hughes has drafted so many unofficial communications himself that he should not be surprised to get one in return. Definite Proposal Sought. What the Administration wants la for the French Government officially to come forward with an acknowU edgement of the American debt, with a statement that it Intends to pay, and with concrete proposals for arranging that payment.

It is get ting fed up with the private views of Ambassadors, finance ministers and others. It wants to hear from the Government of France. The Administration, during the past two weeks, has taken the. delil orate step of leading American public opinion to expect immediate negotiations. Distinct pressure has been put on France.

The French Government so far has failed to take any official cognizance of this. Presi. dent Coolldge is thus being left in a very difficult position. There la reason to believe that he would not be averse to a very frank discussion of this whole situation in Con. gress.

which In any case, whether the President desires it or not, will take a very strong line in the immediate future. A word from the President and Congress would not hesitate to pass a resolution expressing Its sentiment that no further private American capital should go to France. This alone would have a bad effect ou the value of the French franc.

Washington, Jan. 5 Co-operatlvo marketing can and should be made a success In America becauso it provides the best means of stabilizing the country's agricultural maikcting organization, President COolidge declared today to the annual convention of the National Council of Farmers Co-operative Marketing Associations.

Addressing the delegates to the convention at the White House, the President warned that co-operative marketing possessed no magical attributes, and asserted that it must start from the soil and be developed upward. "There is a school of co-operators who seem to believe that the program can be started from the top and built downward," he added. "They want the Government or the banks or philanthropists or Providence to lay out a scheme big enough cover tie country, set Its machinery moving, guarantee it all needed capital and then invite the farmers to sit in the places reserved for them and proceed to garner their profits. Let me say that I offer no such Aladdin-like project. I want society as a whole to help; but I want the farmers to do their share and I warn them that this will the lion's share." He used as an illustration the building up of the United States Steel Corporation, asserting that it never could have started from the Up, but that Andrew Carnegie built one section of it, other men built other sections and none at the outset had the vision of "the enormous concentration to which their activi-tielsi iw ere tending."

It demands that the Individual shall surrender some part of his complete independence for his own anX for the general good.

The supposition that Americans are not the sort ot people who possess the genius for co-operation the President dismissed as in conflict with the whole course ot societv. "People who indulge tills kind of nonsense invaruibly assume that cooperation is a new and comparatively untried formula." he said.

"Their whole treatment of It proves that they have not taught the idea. Tiny have overlooked the fact that ail human society is a vast system of co-operations which began with the discovery that two people could together roll a heavier stone or move a bigger log (hint could be done by one alone." Ford CritUlscd. At the opening of the convention Henry Ford's attitude toward cooperative marketing came in for sharp com ment. The subject was brought up nv 11. W.

Bingham of Louisville, Kv chairman of the meeting, who said: "The most specific opposition lo the co-operative movement been through the Dearborn Independent by Henry Ford." Judge Bingham said. "We all respect Mr. Foid as a genius within his narrow limitations. With all his resources, all his power, he bus not been able to slop or destroy a single co-operative movement in operation, but he has been able to hinder some new ones."
