25 20 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1932 MI -A 13 Roosevelt Bloc Asks Harmony AtCapitalRally Farley Sees 1st Ballot Victory Cummings Sounds More Senators Washington, Feb. 13 (P)-Ten more Democratic Senators from the South and West discussed party prospects today with Homer S. Cummings of Connecticut, a Roosevelt leader, and reiterated the need for harmony to assure success in the Presidential election. A rally luncheon given by Senator Cordell Hull of Tennessee was devoted political outlook, bringing to 23 the number of Senators from 19 States who have participated in talks with Cummings. After the luncheon today Cummings said there was a "disposition everywhere to bring the party into complete harmony and present a 'united "I am much encouraged by the outlook," he added.

Those present, besides Hull, were Robinson, Arkansas; Bratton, New Fletcher and Trammell, Florida; Stephens, Mississippi; Kendrick, Wyoming; King, Utah; Costigan, Colorado; George, Georgia, and Neely, West Virginia. James A. Farley, Democratic State chairman of New York, was conferring elsewhere in the city. He predicted Roosevelt would be nominated on the first ballot. Asked about the New York delegation and whether it would be instructed for Roosevelt or Alfred E.

Smith, Farley replied "New York will be all right when the time comes." Asked if Roosevelt would enter all the State primaries, Farley said: "It has not been decided yet, but aggressive and active campaigns be waged in his behalf." Asked what he thought of the gestion of Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Executive Democratic Committee that State delegations should go to the Chicago convention uninstructed, Farley asserted: "I think it's silly; it is more than ridiculous." Farley said he would be in Chinext Thursday and Friday to cago confer with party leaders from the Middle, Westok hands with Speaker Garner, but they paused only a moment after exchanging greetings. Pleading for harmony, Senator Harrison of Mississippi declared the party was assured of success in November "unless the Democrats fall out among themselves." The Mississippian made his statement after a conference in office with Cummings. Harrison refused to discuss Presipossibilities, confining his dential comment to a warning against another Madison Square Garden "political fiasco." Harrison was the Southern memexecutive committee in ber of the charge of Alfred E. Smith's campaign in 1928. Texans United for Garner Dallas, Texas, Feb, 13 (P) R.

Murray of Oklahoma as a Democratic Presidential candidate in the March 15 State preference primary was followed late today by presentation of petitions nominating Gen. J. S. Coxey of Massillon, Ohio, as a Republican candidate. Snow drifted highways at Minot, 100 miles away, tonight threatened to keep the name of Alfred E.

Smith off the primary ballot. E. H. Stenvik, who circulated petitions nominating Smith for the Presidency, feared bad roads might prevent his reaching here to file them before the deadline tonight. Stenvik was not greatly perturbed, however, because he has until March 1 to file pro-Smith candidates for "delegates to the N.tional Democratic Convention.

Victory for Smith delegates would be more effective than a heavy margin of preference for him in the primary balloting, Stenvick said. The object of the primary is merely to indicate to convention delegates the attitude of voters. Whether petitions for Representative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania would be filed was in doubt at a late hour. Des Moines, Feb.

Gov. Roosevelt Attacks Shouse Continued From Page 1 house agent for the Roosevelt movement everywhere. These statements were made during a talk with the Associated Press correspondent in the study of the historic executive mansion, home of a long line of New York Governors. He sat leaning back in an easy chair, behind an almost minature mahognay desk, a copy of Jefferson's at Monticello. He spoke quietly and without any show of bitterness.

When he was asked directly for his views on the no-pledge proposal, most conspicuously recently by Chairman Shouse, he said: "While every good Democrat is appreciative of the fine publicity work which my friend Jouett Shouse has conducted in Washington at Democratic headquarters the past three years, his suggestion that all delegations go to the National Convention uninstructed is tunately contrary to the principles of the party and the intent of the laws and party rules of almost every State. "More than a generation ago there existed widespread disapproval of the kind of national convention which became merely a trading post for a handful of powerful leaders and where the nomination itself had nothing to do with the popular choice of the rank and file of the party itself. "As a result and in keeping with the historic traditions of the party, primary laws and party rules were enacted in practically every State for the purpose of permitting the party voters themselves to express a choice for candidates. second" unsoundness sure thought of that will Mr. recognize Shouse the on and party damage in his suggestion." Later he answered questions as to the physical organization of his campaign, which acknowledges no national headquarters and "chairman." The Governor made it clear that his friends are taking an active lead in expressing what they say is a definite popular sentiment for him in the several States.

Apparently it is the intention to preserve the present campaign method of precedure right up to the June convention.

Line To Whitestone Stops Monday Appeal Sent to Walker to Save Service for Its 40,000 Commuters Formal notification by George LeBoutillier, vice-president of the Long Island Railroad, that the Whitestone branch will abandoned at midnight tomorrow reached a forlorn group of civic leaders yesterday as they desperately fought for city aid. Theirs is a appeal to Mayor Walker demanding his fullast fillment of a pledge to the communities depending upon the railroad branch for transportation. The appeal was a telegram addressed to the Mayor at Lake Placid, where he is sojourning. Pointing out that the railroad's action would 40,000 people without transportation, the telegram added: "This section is as much part of New York City as Broadway and deserves as much consideration.

What immediate action can we expect?" Long Parley Held The telegram, signed by Ray Palmer, president of the United Transit Committee of College Point, Malba, Whitestone and Beechhurst, followed a long conference with its counsel, Robert N. King, at the Chanin Building, Manhattan. The Whitestone line has been operating at the pleasure of the railroad company since the abandonment order of the Interstate Commerce Commission was affirmed by the United States Suprem Court on th appeal of the New York State Transit Commission a month ag. The railrad has stood by awaiting action of the city administration on proposals of the north queens civic leaders for substitute transit facilities. Proposal Made Pennsylvania Station, Manhattan, and the branch line stations were placarded last night with announcements that the spur service will be discontinued at 12:01 a.m.

Tuesday. A committe named by Mayor Walker received recently a report from Robert Ridgway, chief engineer for the Board of Transportation. It declared that the proposed taking over of the line and its transformation into a unit of the subway system would eb too costly in view of the city's present financial condition. King took exception to Ridgway's report and lopped off capital outlays, such as $300,000 proposed for new cars. reduced the $242,000 construction and equipment cost to $65,300.

King said that an exodus of a large part of the present population is already under way as a result of the abandonment proceedings. He said banks and loan companies have refused to renew mortgages unless adequate transportation is assured the section. Thinks Wives Today Lacking in Training Magistrate Charles Lee of a London court the other day after hearing a number of stories of domestic unhappiness on the part of newly married couples, said that he feared the young wife of today has not been properly trained in domestic arts. He asked the court missionary how he accounted for SO many early failures in marriage. The missionary said that his experience led him to the conclusion that girls marry now without any training in housekeeping, and that lack of proper home training quickly leads to disaster after they were married.

G. Harris and G.

H. Peckham Winners By J. ROBERT WARBURG In 1918, following close brought together by their auction in those days), started is a world's record to me until along. Here's how it came about. The four players were Waldo S.

Manson, George H. Peckham, Chester L. Whitaker and James Harris and they lived in Massachusetts. Following one evening's bridge play the question arose as to what would be the difference in points between two pairs, evenly matched, over a span of one year's play. "There's nothing easier than to find out," said George H.

Peckham. "Let's keep a cercord of the season's play and find out for ourselves." Played for Eleven Years Thus started a contest at the bridge table in which Harris and Peckham were partners for 11 years, playing against Manson and Whitaker. A most complete record of was kept during the entire 11-year "bridge marathon" and though the points made totaled over 2,000,000, only slightly more than 20,000 separated the winners from the losers. A difference of about 1 percent. In other words, the net average yearly winning in points covering the period during which the records were kept was only 1,864.

James G. Harris kept the score In Mayor Walker's Town The patrolman gets only "the crumbs from the table," former Policeman Dennis Wright, who spent ten years on the Bronx squad that raided speakeasies, testified before Samuel Seabury. The "crumbs," in Wright's case, amounted to $99,000 deposited in banks from 1921 to 1931. Wright's salary amounted to less than $25,000 for the ten years. His cash deposits amounted to $40,000.

If the patrolman gets only the "crumbs" of prohibition enforcement graft, who gets the feast? Former Inspector Thomas W. Mullarkey banked $28,000 in 1930, in which year he commanded speakeasy raids in Queens. Mullarkey, currently a fugitive, was charged by Seabury witnesses with accepting $700 to allow a still to operate for one week. MAYOR WALKER AND THE TAMMANY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS DO NOTHING. WILL GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT DO SOMETHING? Firebugs Busy at Full Moon Continued From Page 1 son than that they want, to enjoy the thrill of a blaze and the attendant excitement.

In the second class are the alcoholic pyromaniacs who set fires in a drunken abberation. Both are considered exceedingly dangerous because they act without thought for human life and without traceable motive. And both, generally, act with a devilish cunning that makes untold trouble for the fire marshal and his assist. The first class includes men and women who are subnormal, epileptic or feeble-minded. It is these people who generally stay to watch their own fires.

Sometimes they turn in the alarms and often they help the firemen put out the blaze. Often Pseudo Heroes Sometimes they perform acts of pseudo-heroism and bask in the glory showered on them afterward. Sometimes they rush to a nearby building and start a second blaze when the first appears to be yielding to the firemen. Cellars, hallways and vacant tenements are the spots they choose for their blazes. Invariably they work alone.

Generally, because they are docile and subnormal, their tendencies toward arson aren't suspected by their families and friends until they're in the hands of the law. But they don't fool the fire nd his staff. Complete Record Kept A complete record of every maniac and every suspected pyromaniac in the city is kept in Mr. Brophy's office, together with a record of his or her age, address, place of employment and recreational habits. record is checked often SO that" it never can't grows 1 obsolete.

A pyromaniac move often enough to escape the shrewd inquiries of the investigators who keep it up-to-date. In addition a complete record is kept of all incendiary fires lighted in the city, together with minute details as to the manner, time, day of the week and circumstances under which they break out. Often Leads to Offender By checking the detailed records of the pyromaniacs against detailed records of the fires the fire marshal is often able to put his finger on the offender immediately. Mr. Brophy, in his office in the Municipal Building, Manhattan, thumbs over the records men he's put behind bars with wellearned satisfaction.

Pleasant Recollection Ernest Rhodes is one of his most pleasant recollections. He arrested Rhodes as a suspect several years ago in connection with a suspicious fire on Park Slope. Rhodes was tried before Supreme Court Justice Cropsey and a jury and acquitted. Justice Cropsey at the time reproached the jury, but Rhodes, of course, went free. Came then October, 1927, and a mysterious fire broke out at Methodist Hospital here.

Mr. Brophy to the spot. hurried, questioned every one who knew anything about the blazeevery one but the porter, who he was informed, was being resuscitated after his heroic work in fighting the blaze. Not Hero, But Villain "We will question the porter," Brophy said. With his assistants he proceeded to look up the porter, whom he found in the operating room.

Two nurses were hovering solicitously over the "hero." One taking his pulse; the other was holding an oxygen cap over his nose. The fire marshal took one look at the porter and laughed at the nurses. "He's not the hero of this fire," he said. "He's the villain." The porter was Ernest Rhodes. Blazing Nightmare Another of Mr.

Brophy's gratifying recollections is Walter Foley. Foley made th. marshal's Christmas. season into a blazing nightmare a few years since. He began his depredations incognito on Christmas Eve by setting five fires, one right after another along Fulton St.

He set three more on Lafayette Ave. Early one morning a few days later several suspicious fires broke out in South Brooklyn. Then four were reported almost simultaneously on Hudson St. along the waterfront. A few days later, in the afternoon, an alarm came in for a cellar fire at Hudson and Myrtle followed by a fire on Myrtle near Vanderbilt Ave.

The fire marshal and his aides followed their usual procedure in each case. They checked each district for its known pyromaniacs. They put a M'GovernPlans Court Bout to Evade Inquiry Contractor Tells Seabury He Won't Talk on Firm Withdrawals Patrick McGovern, contractor, served notice on Samuel Seabury yesterday that he will carry his battle to the highest courts to evade questioning on huge sums of money withdrawn from his company after it received a $43,000,000 city water tunnel contract. The balky contractor arrived at the Hofstadter Committee's headquarters under subpena accompanied by his counsel, former Supreme Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan.

Because of the absence of members of the committee, Seabury did not undertake to examine McGovern but subpenaed the contractor to reappear Wednesday. Based on Ruling Second Offense Trial Of Hall Long Delayed Mystery Man in Eugenia Cedarholm Disappear- ance Still in Local Jail-State Awaits Arrival of Witness to Prove Other Conviction District Attorney Geoghan, ago that he would try Edward says now that he must bring to use his testimony at the trial. Meanwhile The Eagle that although Hall was brought back from Sing Sing in September to face the second offender trial, nothing was done about securing the necessary information until December. The district attorney then found that it would be necessary to have one of the witnesses at Hall's Minnesota trial here for the "second offender" proceedings. But no action has ever been taken about bringing him here.

Hall, convicted last August of forging the name of the missing Eugenia Cedarholm to a lease, has been in Raymond St. Jail for all but two weeks of the last 15 months. Last to See Girl Alive He was originally taken into custody as the last man to have seen Eugenia alive. The girl disappeared more than four years ago, leaving behind her a $60,000 house on1 Schermerhorn St. Questioned by the district attorney, Hall said he knew where Miss Cedarholm could be found, but would not disclose her whereabouts.

He was charged with the forgery, defended himself, was convicted, and then sentenced to from 10 to 20 years in Sing Sing. Two weeks later Geoghan had him brought back to Brooklyn to stand trial as a second offender. It was understood that Hall had served a term in Minnesota for assault, Mr. Geoghan said. Today Warden J.

J. Sullivan of the Minnesota State Penitentiary at Stillwater told an Eagle correspondent that Geoghan last December asked him to send affidavits of the previous conviction to Brooklyn. Sentenced to Six Years few days to have him brought here." Faces 20-Year Term According to Sullivan, the affidavits were sent on Dec. 21. This showed, Sullivan said, that Hall was sentenced from St.

Louis County 11 years ago to serve six years for attacking, and threatening to hang a lumberman from whom he had stolen $100 worth of wood. The affidavits also showed, according to Sullivan, that Hall was paroled in 1924 and discharged from parole the following year. Of particular interest in the information from Sullivan is the fact that the Minnesota authorities list Hall as "Edward Lawrence Hall, also known as Ted Hall and Al Haw." The man who has become the central figure in the Cedarholm case is known to have used all of these names. Mr. Geoghan said today: "The information sent us by the Minnesota authorities was complete enough.

But we must have a witness here at the trial. Some one must come here to say that Hall was convicted of the assault. We are planning to arrange during the next If he is convicted as a second offender Hall will be resentenced. He must get not less than the maximum of his sentence as a first offender. That would send him to jail for not less than 20 The Sullivan information substantiates, from in claim of a woman who came to Brooklyn more than a year ago and said she was Hall's wife.

She came from Cook, where she is a leader in church work. Hall said he had never seen her before. According to Sullivan, Hall came originally from Cook. A Bohemian inventor is said to have produced glass that is unbreakable. From the mitaiem plant the Japanese make a good grade of plant leather.

The only Mohammaden mosque in the U. S. is in a Detroit suburb, force of special policemen in the districts to watch. They studied the fires to find their similarities. And thus, inexorably, they began to look for Foley.

Marshal Brophy came across him just as he was running from the fire on Myrtle and Vanderbilt Aves. Foley was tried, convicted, and sent to Sing Sing for 20 years. that "The most lived," desperate pyromaniac ever in the fire marshal's opinion, is at large today by default, but not the default of the fire marshalhor Alloy, involuntary visitor at Matteawan, Queens County Jail, and other institutions for the criminal and insane. At present Alloy holds the record as a setter-of-fires and an escaperof-jails. Arrested and Rearrested Brophy suspected him in 1913 of setting a fire in Woodhaven, Queens, while Alloy was living in Richmond Hill.

Alloy was arrested and convicted, and as soon as he was discharged he was rearrested and convicted of setting a fire at 114-18 Jamaica Brooklyn. While he out on bail on that charge he was arrested again in connection with a fire on South St. and sent to Sing Sing for 10 years. Alloy escaped within a year, but was rearrested and sent back to serve out his term. Conflicting Stories On April 30, 1922, a fatal fire in which three persons were killed, broke out at 113 Atlantic Richmond Hill.

While it was burning, the fire bethinking himself of his old acquaintance, Anthony Alloy, whom he knew was out of prison, made a visit to the Alloy home nearby. Alloy told conflicting stories of his actions during the fire. He was arrested and indicted, but escaped conviction. Six months later, after a series of incendiary fires in the neighborhood, a suSpicious blaze broke out at 208 Irving Brooklyn, and Alloy was caught as he ran from it. He was convicted in County Court here before Judge Martin, and a lunacy commission, appointed by the court, decided that he was criminally insane and should therefore be sent to Matteawan.

Escaped From Matteawan He went there, but in 1930 he escaped. Several months later he was caught. Last year, with tive other criminals, he again escaped. The others have all been caught since then. But Alloy is still at large.

Many of the pyromaniacs who come under the fire marshal's surveillance are incorrigible and malicious. But a few are amiable and guileless. One of them introduced himself to Mr. Brophy at the famous Sherry-Netherlands fire in 1928, not as a pyromaniac, but as one who might be of great assistance. In time he became a familiar figure around the Bureau of Fire Investigation.

Remained Good Natured And even, when it became obvious that he must be arrested as a pyromaniac, the chap was irresistibly good natured. From his cell in prison he sent the first marshal a picture of the Sherry-Netherlands fire and his best wishes. The picture hangs in the fire marshal'; office today. Small But Active Staff The fire marshal works with a small staff but an one. John McGough is his chierre, in Manhattan and has specialized investigating fires started by racketeers, unscrupulous merchants, or persons who are jealous or vindictive.

Capt. William E. Coles supervises the work of investigation here and in Queens, and Herman De Malignon handles the work in the Bronx. Brophy's entire staff includes only 26 men. EAGLE AIDE HONORED A farewell luncheon was given yesterday at Lottie's Tea Shoppe, 87 Henry by members of The Eagle circulation department to Miss Dorothy Stromberg, who is leaving the organization to become a member of the European Christian Mission.

The guest of honor was presented with a wrist watch and a pen and pencil set. The table and flower decorations were arranged by Mrs. Lottie Mitchell. Among those attending the luncheon were: Miss Frances Lewis, Miss Muriel Baldwin, Miss Helen Hirschbach.

The attorney said later that McGovern would testify as to his company's business, but would decline to answer questions on his own actions or conduct. Cohalan said he based his client's stand on the Court of Appeals ruling in the Boss Barnes case of 20 years ago, in which it was held that a witness could not be compelled to testify as to his private affairs. Refused to Talk McGovern's first appearance before Seabury was on 'Thursday.

Washington, Feb. 13-Bills making drastic reductions in the number of immigrants who will be permitted to enter the United States are to come before the House Immigration Committee next Tuesday. Among the proposals are a complete suspension of all immigration for 10 years; exclusion of Filipinos, establishment of quotas for Mexico, Canada and other western hemisphere nations which quotas in the 1924 Immigration act, reduction of all quotas percent of those provided in the 1924 act, and exclusion or expulsion of all aliens who are anarchists or Communists. About 23 bills have been introduced thus far to reduce further the number of aliens who can enter this country.

Others are likely to follow the start of the hearings. Recent statistics of immigration shown in the reports of Commissioner General Harry Hull are expected to exert a great deal of influence. These statistics indicate that for the last three or four months the number of aliens leaving the United States have outnumbered those arriving here as immigrants. In a large measure this is due to the enforcement of an administrative order, issued by President Hoover about years ago, cutting down the number of immigrants permitted to enter. elations.

Protection for Acuna Acura, it was believed by members of Seabury's staff, attempted to induce Taub to waive extradition and return to New York to assist the inquiry. The city, it developed yesterday, has spent between $15,000 and 000 000 00 000 000 000 000 00 in the last year to furnish adequate protection to Acuna. The Chilear for several months was attended by two shifts of two police bodyguards day and night, but cently the bodyguard has been reduced to the one lientenant. Acuna has also been carried on the city's payroll at $7 a day, his services first being secured by the Seabury Magistrates' inquiry and then by the District Attorney's office in the prosecution of "framing" pelicemen.

Roosevelt on Tuesday. Clearwater, Feb. 13 (AP)Bond for Louis Taub, imprisoned here pending advices from New York City authorities who want him as a witness in the investigation of Magistrates' Courts, was increased from $10,000 to $20.000 today. Magistrate L. G.

Ramsey disclosed the bail has been made larger but he refused to explain it was done for Taub's "own safety." Taube' was brought here from St. Petersburg for reasons unexplained. A report circulating in police circles this afternoon was that the bond vas made larger after authorities received advices, saying "the wrong parties" were enroute here to post the bail originally asked. No explanation was advanced regarding the reference to "the wrong parties." St. Petersburg, Feb.

The threat was made after police were informed Acuna was in the city. Today, however, it was said there are no charges against him.
