2 BROOKLYN D'A'TET EA'GEE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, W34 Violinist Loses Claim iBar Injunction Rubel to Get Jail Respite; Court Denies Ha bens Corpus Plea While Red's Widow Wails As Heiress9 Widower 1 Stealthy Acts Ruined Code, Darrow Says AsaiU Clianpe Matlri in Retail Program Grn. Jolinson Replies; Surrogate Albert H. Henderson in the Bronx today threw out the petition of Philip Johnsen, violinist, to have himself declared the common-law husband of the late Victoria Morosini and the administrator of her considerable estate. Hearing Calls 'Dancing Dolls' Whether "dancing dolls" are a racket that come under the heading of prohibited games of chance will be threshed out at 3:30 p.m.

Thursday, by License Commissioner Moss, it was announced today. "Dancink dolls" made their appearance at Coney Lsland about a month ago. Moss granted a license, but told the police to keep a close ey eon the way they were manipulated. Numerous complaints are alleged to have come in that the "dancing dolls" danced away with sailors' money, never giving them a fair break. Joseph Brocco, licensee of such a concession on Stillwell off the Bowery, at Coney Island, must appear before Moss Thursday.

fl Warn Sleuths They Must Stop Crime New York City's detectives were warned today to buckle down to work, cut the crime crop and arrest criminals, or be stripped of their $4,000 jobs and be reduced to pounding the pavements at $3,000 a year. The ultimatum was served on one-third of the city's sleuths by Police Commissioner O'Ryan and Assistant Chief Inspector Sullivan at the lineup. The remainder of the detective force will get similar warnings tomorrow and Thursday. Commissioner O'Ryan also reminded the men they must be more courteous in their contacts with the public. i iilliii Tillll i if Jf Miss Morosini, who was also' known as Miss Baldwin, was the daughter of Giovanni Morosini, a partner of Jay Gould, who left an estate of about $25,000,000 when he died in 1908.

The Surrogate denied the petition although he at the same time found that Miss Morosini was "fond of the petitioner, that "she was in love with him and they lived in the same apartment for six years in Bridgeport. and for lesser pe riods elsewhere. But, ruled he court, "there was no holding out by the petitioner that the decedent was his wife nor the slightest suggestion by her that he was her husband." Only one witness testified to hear ing Miss Morosini referred to as Mrs. Johnsen" and the court ruled that was probably done to avoid embarrassment. Numerous other witnesses, however, said they had known the couple as respectively Mr.

Johnsen and Miss Baldwin, and at the time of death Johnsen was asked by an auctioneer, who came to re move the furniture, whether he was the husband, and he sard no. Evidence required to establish such a 'common-law )marriage must be dear, consistent and convincing," the court decided. Ellis Island Holds 'Envoy of Queen' Pieter Jaarsma. Dutch dishwasher, who had posed as Bernard Putnam, "international" journalist and correspondent, as well as a good-will ambassador for Queen Wilhelmlna of Holland, was safe auain on Ellis Island today. Jaarsma, who has taken in such notables as President Roosevelt, Mayor LaGuardia and Secretary of War Dern, was arrested on the Pacific Coast last April and escaped on June 4 while being taken from Ellis Island to a dentist In Manhattan.

He was recaptured yesterday. Byron H. Uhl. Assistant Commissioner of Immigration, said Jaarsma is awaiting deportation to Holland, where he is wanted on a charge of robbing an Amsterdam innkeeper. Supreme Court Jusiice Dunne odav dismissed an application for a writ of habeas corpus which sought to free Tito Michelagnoli, held on a charge of murder for supplying the revolver which Cecelia McCormick smuggled into Raymond Street Jail in November, 1932.

and with which her husband. Andrew (Red McCormick, shot and killed a keeper and then himself. Michelagnoli lawyers argued that there was no basis for the charge against him. that Mrs. McCormick herself was prepared testify that Tito onlv drove her to the lall in his taxicab but had nothing to do with the weapon.

16 to 2 Vote I 0.K's IWwelli Continued from Page 1 apparition on the American horizon can now reflect that his importance has been reduced to a more normal perspective. This is the price that he has paid for his. elevation to the post, of Undersecretary. With respect to the various speeches he has made and articles he has written, which hostile Senators examined with a fine-tooth comb of interrogation, he drew attention to the difference "between a scientist attempting to explain a proposition and a politician attempting to advocate one." Whether he had his tongue in his cheek or not, it was Impossible for this observer to detect. Such, however, is his self-portrait, whether it is convincing or not.

Dr. Tugwell was unable to conceal his possession of a mind sharpened through long use and training to a fine, razor edge. With bland, patient good-nature, he rested his defense on three foundations first, acts of Congress; second, policies and pronouncements of President Roosevelt; third, decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States It made it just a trifle difficult for even Senators to attack him on these grounds. The two principal objections to Dr. Tugwell seemed to be that he was.

first, a "brain truster." and second, not a practical farmer. In answer he said that there was no "brain trust." so he couldn't be a member of it, and that he had once raised a prize calf. In short, judging from his sell -portrait, far from being the Lenin of this administration. Dr. Tugwell suggests at least in some aspects that he Is the Rasputin.

-j IfUL" Wsshinirton. June 12 (A) A new denunciation of NRA methods and filed with President Roosevelt by the Darrow Review Board and made public today, contained a demand for searching inquiry into alleged "arbitrary exercise of power" by Hugh R. Johnson. Saying "the rule of the military commander is totally unsuited to the genius, habits, traditions or psychology of the American people, and wholly ineffectual in meeting the present national crisis." the board found that the retail trade code had been in a "stealthy manner ruined" by NRA due to changes made after It was submitted by the industry. At a press conference.

Johnson labeled this charge "ridiculous." said probably 50 percent of the codes had to be changed before going to the President and that in every case the industry had been informed. Lumber Code Hit Besides the retail trade code attack, the Darrow group assailed the lumber code, demanding removal of Industry and Government officials ronnected with it; the retail food code and the Boot Shoe Manufacturers' agreement. Others also were hit but complaint lodged against the electrical manufacturing and hand embroidery codes were dismissed. The report also complained of high-handed monopolistic practices by the lumber code authorities both under and around code authorizations. The retail code change denounced involved insertion of the word "inaccurately" into a prohibition of advertising claiming to undersell competitors.

H. Macy Oo. of New York had waged a campaign for that qualification, contending )ts general underselling claim was legitimate and should not be interfered with.

In Milk Filit Continued from Paje 1 left over, many stations in Brooklyn and in the lower East Side districts of Manhattan were forced to turn prospective customers away, and health officials who are supervising distribution through Baby Health stations are planning to Increase the supply to 20,000 quarts tomorrow. At some of the distributing sta tions in Brooklyn the entire available supply was exhausted at 7:30 a.m., half an hour after the sta-ions opened. At 994 Flushing Ave. a police officer was on duty to prevent disorders as customers lined up before the station at 6:50 am. The entire supply of 182 quarts was gone at 7:45.

Crowds Orderly Police were sent to four stations on Manhattan's lower East Sids when the supplies were exhausted, while many people remained in lino For the mast part the crowds at Brooklyn't 27 stations and the 28 stations in Manhattan and the Bronx were very orderly.

THE G-E OIL FURNACE IS AS FAR AHEAD OF "OIL BURNERS'! Faces Grill' i Hp Must Be Ready to Argue Appeal From His Sentence on Friday Samuel Rubel, millionaire ice king, will have a respite from the i 10-day jail sentence imposed on him I by Supreme Court Justice Faber. but I his examination must go on. the Appellate Division decided today. This is on condition that the appeal from Justice Paber's order. Inflicting the sentence and a fine of t'-M because Rubel failed to appear for the examination when ordered, must be ready and argued on Friday.

Stephen Callaghan, former Supreme Court justice, attorney for Rubel, said today he will be ready to argue before the Appellate Division as to why the contempt order should be set aside. "Rubel never had any desire to evade examination and that part of the appellate court's direction will be complied as soon as a date can be arranged." Callaghan had earlier attributed Rubel's failure to appear for examination to an engagement Rubel had at the same time to appear before a coal code hearing. The claim was made in court by Herman Mendes, counsel for stockholders of the Paramount Ice Corporation, who are suing to vacate a contract they allege Rubel obtained by fraud, that Rubel deliberately sought to avoid examination. "Rubel did not want to be examined," Mendes told the court. "His personal attorney, Jacob A.

Freed- man, told me that the examination questions dealing with the monopoly were embarrassing." Fares Examination Mendes declared he will Immediately make arrangements to examine Rubel. The latter will have to answer at least 24 questions, some dealing with the ice monopoly he has created for himself in Brooklyn. The suing stockholders charge that Rubel induced some directors of the Paramount to make this ruin ous contract to further strengthen his ice monopoly. The contract complained of provides for the sale exclusively to the Rubel Corp. of 50,000 tons a year of Paramount ice The Paramount plant is capable of producing much more and the contract prevents it from selling ice to anybody else.

Judge Callaghan today served a notice on Mendes that he will produce Rubel in Special Term Part II. Brooklyn Supreme Court, on Thursday at 10 a.m. "for examination as required by the order." "I am proceeding on two days' notice as the Appellate Division or dered." said Callaghan. "That don't go with me," said Mendes. when asked if he would be ready to question Rubel at the time named by Callaghan.

"Under the decision of the Appellate Division I fix the date for the examination and I have to give two days notice. I can't possibly examine Rubel this week. I have too much work to do. I am returning their notice on the ground it is not the correct practice. I hope to have time near the end of next week to conduct the examination." nnectal i a for Tomorrow Faxhion Seoop SILK SWAGGER ENSEMBLES Sizes 38 to 56 Ready Wednesday at A.

Fradkin, who managed a sale to the public of of preferred stock of Lehrenkrauss Corporation. Bail for the first was fixed at $5,000, that of the other three at $2,000 each.

The hearing was then adjourned until later today in order to give Mr. Rubel an opportunity to confer with his counsel.

The Knickerbocker and Rubel companies have been accused by Mayor LaGuardia and Commissioner Morgan of failing to live up to an agreement made several months ago to sell their product to small retailers rather than solely to middle men. Charles C. Small, president of the Knickerbocker Company, said he was aware that peddlers had been refused lce at several of his company's plants. He added, however, that his company was forced to deny ice to these peddlers as the small retailers and some of the larger dealers were attempting to break down the new price setup and instigate a price war among the manufacturers. Mr.

Small a.ssured the Markets Commissioner that his company was heartily in accordance with the Markets Department's effort to bring peace and fair business practice to the industry and he promised full cooperation. m'im f.

That is happening today in the oil heating field. If you choose an attachment oil burner instead of this complete, coordinated heating unit, you are being unfair to yourself.
