One of Brooklyn's most interesting and complicated secrets is due for an airing in public tomorrow. Not much may come of it, but, nevertheless, the story of how James McCunn came to have the International Postal Supply Company's new building at 632 Prospect pl. loaded with liquor is scheduled to be told.

McCunn, who is indignant over the inference that the building was used as a bootlegging headquarters, is going into the Federal Court here to ask that it all be returned to him. William De Groot, United States Attorney, says he is going to battle McCunn at every step. His chief ally is to be William C. Calhoun, the chief of the under-cover agents for Prohibition enforcement in the city. While the court may decide whether McCunn actually owns the liquor legally, there is one outstanding situation in the case which probably will not come up.

That concerns that wait of nine days, after the building was raided, before Calhoun and his men obtained a court order permitting them to take the books of McCunn's business and examine them. Calhoun's reason for the delay is that it was necessary to trace the seized -about $250,000 worth according to. estimate-before any such steps could be legally taken. The books showed, when they were seized, a large amount of legitimate business: McCunn claims the liquor was pre-Prohibition stuff and that he had a permit to keep it. The permit bureau in Manhattan shows that he did have such a permit granted in 1922, and so a knotty question has arisen.

Is the liquor found at 632 Prospect pl. the same liquor for which the permit was granted? If why wasn't it stored in a warehouse, as the permit orders? Was it transported through the city at any time without a transportation permit? These are the questions which are expected to come up in court. It is McCunn's contention that the seized liquor is the very same stuff that he had a permit coverage for. PETER MAPES Huntington, L.

KALTENBORN Stocks Down -Rebel Chances- Airplanes Win Stocks go down as money rates go up. Wall Street had a real fright today after yesterday's preliminary scare. When call money jumped to 15 percent at noon lots of stocks were dumped for whatever they would bring and scores of issues touched new low prices for the year. The big bankers have made up their minds to let the market take care of itself. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon gave the lead not long ago when he said: "It's a good time to buy bonds." Those who followed his advice are not sorry today and may be glad by tomorrow.

Too much margin buying and too much discounting of future profits had forced stock prices to an artificial level. Thousands of amateur stock gamblers, lured into the market by advancing prices, are being scared out by falling prices. Fundamental business conditions are as sound as they were a week ago when stocks were still going up. Most recent reports of earnings show gains. But so much Wall Street gambling has been done with borrowed money that higher money rates squeeze lots of gamblers into selling.

And when the little gamblers have become sadder, wiser and poorer the big gamblers whose manipulations have helped to force prices down, will buy at the bottom and then force them up. Mr. X. rebel gentleman from Mexico, tells The Eagle today that General Calles has been so victorious that he is about to be defeated. According to him, most of Mexico is pro-rebel and the Federal armies are about to have their communications eNt in several places.

Doubtless General Calles has hard fighting ahead of him. Perhaps some of his scattered forces will be defeated. But this will delay without preventing the ultimate Federal victory. The rebels have yet to score one military success. The Mexican Government plus the help of the American Government could defeat the revolution even though nine-tenths of the country's population were backing it.

But stamping out rebel smudges will take time. The South Atlantic has been crossed successfully for the seventh time. This compares with one successful West to East flight across the North Atlantic. Italians, Spanish. Portuguese.

In this way, he said, all of the boro's civic problems can be pressed for solution before the the city entire authorities civic with the representation force of Brooklyn making them respected at City Hall. Mr. Brown spoke over station LT H. "Within the governing board of the Greater City of New York," he said, "this great boro has only two clearly identified Brooklyn votes out of a total of 16 votes. It is necessary that these two votes be reinforced with strong and united public opinion which cannot be misunderstood or misinterpreted by the three city officials whose combined nine votes may at any time dominate the Board of Estimate and Apportionment." "MARSH FIRE" TOMORROW In tomorrow's installment of Mateel Howe Farnham's novel, now running in the feature section of The Eagle, the story of Michael Fielding' cave man wooing of Eleanor Struthers and her resentment of it is told.

Her anger so upsets the strenulover that he is unable to concentrate on his business, forgets to eat, cannot sleep and spends the nights walking the streets. All this serves greatly to interest his Syrchester neighbors, who do not fail to keep close tabs on every movement of their leading manufacturer--in particular his love affairs. TAXI MAN SHOT AS CAB DRIVERS BATTLE BANDITS BILLS GET BLOW FROM Multiple Dwellings Law and Merit Bill Passed in Haste. Eagle Bareaa. Capitol Bailding.

By CLINTON L. MOSHER. Albany, March 26-Aroused from its doze of three months duration, the Legislature had its eyes wide open today and was working at top speed to clear the decks in time to start home the end of the week. The Senate remained in session untily 1:30 o'clock this morning, ses passing a number of important bills, including the hotly contested amendment to the Multiple Dwellings Law. The Assembly worked until after midnight, the outstanding event being the slaughtering of the Democratic labor bills by the Republican majority.

Both houses reconvened at 1 11 o'clock this morning and continued the mad rush to clean the calendar. The fact that but a few days remain in which to round out the record with speeches for home consumption has elevated to the soap box Senators and Assemblymen heretofore content to allow the floor leaders to do the debating. Rollcalls and Oratory. lump "Little Chance for Agreement. The session has become a wild carnival of rollcalls and fine oratory.

The dignified Senators are eating their lunches from paper plates on corners of their desks. Over in Assembly the members are tearup bills by the handfuls for the paper showers that forecast the end of the session as accurately as the first flurry of snow announces the arrival of winter. But the mad rush, according to present indications, will not prevent an extraordinary session of the Legislature to provide money to run the Labor and Law departments. Governor Roosevelt is expected to sit tight and veto the Republican budget bills that would require the heads of these departments to seek approval of the chairmen of the finance committees in spending their Roosevelt probably will bring the Senators and Assemblymen back here on Monday unless an agreement is reached, and the chances are 10 to 1 that none will be arrived at. Then the Republicans will pass another set of budget bills dump them on the Governor's desk.

Roosevelt may even go so far as to call another special session the following Monday. The budget row has been reduced to an endurance contest. In the end, if the majority party sticks to its guns, the Governor will have to approve the bills, being satisfied that his protest has been vigorous enough to satisfy the record on which he intends to appeal to the people next fall for a Democratic majority in the Legis- Divide on Methods. The Law and Labor departments can't get along without money any more than the average father can keep a roof over his brood without a steady income. Roosevelt knows that.

He contends that under the Smith plan for reorganization these two departments need lump sum appropriations to complete the reorganization. The Republicans argue that under finance law the chairmen of the finance committees must stand as watchdogs over the department heads who get their money in lump' sums lest there be waste of the taxpayers' contributions to the government. One side or the other has to give in before July 1, when the till runs dry, otherwise the game of put and take could be played all summer. Says G. O.

P. Ignored Will of People. The Republicans bolstered up their side of the controversy last night with an opinion from Attorney General Hamilton Ward, Republican. which held that the majority party was within its legal rights. Roosevelt countered with a statement in which he said there are two sides to that question, adding that the Republicans have ignored the will of the people who passed the amendment to the Constitution providing for the troublesome executive budget.

There were those among the majority party who saw in the Governor's statement the possibility of conciliation, but the latest advices from the Executive Offices were to the effect that Roosevelt has not, deserted his original stand to perfect the record by protesting to the last ditch against an interpretation of the budget amendment, which would conflict with his idea of how it should be handled. Row Over Taxes. Then there is the row over the gas tax and tax reduction. Both parties agree to the 2-cent levy on gasoline. The Republicans stand firm for the elimination of the direct tax on real estate and the raising the exemption on income taxes for single persons from $1,500 to $2,500, and for married persons from $3,500 to $4,000.

Roosevelt wants a straight 20 percent cut on all incomes. The debate on the Multiple-Dwellings bill was the feature event on last night's card in the Senate. It passed by a vote of 28 to 22. The Democrats, with the exception of Stephen F. Burkhard and Alfred J.

Kennedy of Queens, stood with Mayor Walker and voted against the measure. Senator George Fearon, Republican, Syracuse, joined hands with the Democrats but the rest of his party jammed the bill through. Walker's objection to the bill was that it violated the principle of home rule. Senator Charles E. Russell, Democrat, of Brooklyn, opposed the bill on the.

ground that the up-State solons were attempting to prescribe for the ills of New York City, which alone is affected by the measure. Senator William Lathrop Love spoke along the same, line. The Senate, by a vote of 26 to 25, passed the so-called Merit Bill, which would compel district superintendents and high school principals to pass examinations prepared by the board of examiners instead of being appointed by the Board of Education without examination. The Democrats voted in the negative. Over in the Assembly the City Conventions Bill, originally designed to prevent Congressman F.

L. La Guardia from making a primary fight for the Republican nomination for Mayor this fall, was passed by a vote of 84 to 54, the minority party opposing passage. The Assemblymen got into a spirited debate over the labor bills, on behalf of which Roosevelt recently sent a special message to the lower house. To keep the record straight when defeat seemed certain, MinorIty Leader Maurice Bloch made a number of motions, DR. KLYDE'S WILL CALLED FORGERY BY HIS DAUGHTER Bulk of Large Estate Goes to Son of Deceased's Second Wife--Trial April 15.

estimate is worth $750,000. Allege Undue Influence. That the document submitted as the last will of Dr. Charles Klyde, who amassed a fortune by building and operating Coney Island apartment houses, is a "forgery," was the charge made today by his 17-yearold daughter in an affidavit contesting the will. Surrogate Wingate set April 15 for jury trial of the case.

Dr. Klyde died at his home, 834 Bushwick on Feb. 16. His will was dated Oct. 30, 1928, and signed by Nathan B.

Robbins, Benedetto A. Palumbo and John N. Geidal as witnesses. Under this will the bulk of his estate goes to Charles Leonard Klyde, son of Dr. Klyde's second wife.

Julia, Dr. Klyde's daughter by a first marriage, who is married now to Maurice Rosenthal, a lawyer, and living at 8835 23d receives but $500 out of an estate which her attorneys, Galitzka and Finkelstein, Charles Leonard Klyde, as well as Mrs. Klyde's other child, Renee, were both adopted by Dr. Klyde at the time of his second marriage. Mrs.

Klyde at that time also adopted Julia. Julia's attorneys allege undue influence on the part of the widow "or some other person or persons" they claim the decedent did not possess testamentary capacity when he made his will, and they charge that it is a forgery. These charges are denied by the attorneys for Mrs. Klyde. KIERAN INSTALLED AS HUNTER'S HEAD Dr.

WOMAN IS FOUND BEATEN TO DEATH IN TENEMENT HALL Believed Lured to Place and Attacked Crime Scene 2 Blocks From Her Home. Beaten to death, the body of Anna Yolk, about 29, of 79 Baxter Manhattan, was found shortly after 8 o'clock this morning in the rear of the hallway of a tenement at 25 Mulberry Manhattan.

According to detectives, the woman was seen in the neighborhood yesterday, apparently intoxicated.

One of the intruders started to search the taxicab magnate. Suddenly a chair came flying at the head of the other bandit. He ducked. Both stepped back and opened fire. Chairs and bullets flew thick and fast.

Ignacio Jimenez and Francisco Iglesias took long chances in their single-motored Spanish airplane.

In distance several fliers have surpassed their record. Last year Ferrarin and Delprette flew from Rome to Brazil by way of the Cape Verde Islands, covering 4,600 miles in 59 hours. But the Spaniards scored a notable achievement in travelling from Seville, Spain to Bahia, Brazil, a distance of 4,000, in a single fortyfour hour hop.
