Although he had fiat feet and was
thirty pounds over weight George Elm
stein, assistant treasurer of the j. Elm
stein Corporation at Spruce street, was
enrolled in the Naval Reserve through
the efforts of Commander
Christopher Marsden, so Einstein de-
clared yesterday when he appeared as a
witness before the naval court-martial
which is trying Marsden at the New
York Navy Yard on charges of having
accepted money in return for securing
easy berths in that branch of the service
for generously inclined applicants.
Shortly after his enrolment. Einstein
said he drew a check for $3.50 and that
a Masonic ring was purchased for Mars
den. Louis Markowitz, who has ad-
mitted that he was active in behalf of
men seeking admission to the Naval Re-
serve, has already testified that 800 OF
the $3.50 was used to buy the ring and
that the remainder was turned over to
Lieut.. Benoit ]. Ellert, who has pleaded
guilty to accepting bribes, to be divided
between Ellert and Marsden.
Selig Sobel of 73 West 113th street. a
dealer In diamonds. who was In the Ma
val Reserve said that when he first went
to Mareden's Office he took with him, at
Markowitzs suggestion, woman's gold
wrist watch which was studded with dia-
monds. Sobel declared he turned the
watch over to Marsden. thinking the lat
ter was going to pay for It In the navy
yard four months later he testified that
Marsden asked him the price of the
watch, but that Markow1tz interrupted
and said it would be "all right" Sobe
charged that he never received the
money for the watch, which was worth

SWAMI TO ATTACK
RENT CONSPIRATORS
Says Tenants Associations
Are Falsely Organized.

The District Attorneys Office will ar
range at once to begin John Doe in
Quiry into the alleged activities of So
called tenants associations" In the
housing situation, largely on the East
Side, according to an announcement
made yesterday by District Attorney
SwEnn. The proceedings will be insti-
tuted at the suggestion OF Mayor Hylan
on information furnished by Nathan
Hirsch, chairman Of the Mayors COM
mittee on rent proffteering.
Mr.. Hirsch, after comforting with
Judge Swami. gave out a statement in
which he said:
"Those engineering these associations
collected sums of money from the
tenants, ostensibly for legal services,
fomented strikes against landlords and
brought dissension between rentpayers
and owners and lessees OF tenements.
As a result of these endeavors thousands
of tenants have not only paid for legal
services never performed but they have
lost their homes and have been actually
thrown upon the streets. Mostly these
tenants were of foreign birth, and being
unfamiliar with our ways were an easy
prey to the adventures who sought to
enrich themselves at their expense.
1--WE have proof that in certain In
stances the tenants organizations actu-
ally took over the rental of the pr M
ises and informed the landlord that II
they did not make repairs at once this
work would be done out of the rent al
a much greater expense. We also have
abundant proof that owners have beer
prevented from leasing floors In houses
where rent strikes have been declared
and also have been prevented from en-
tering their own premises"

Miles NJ Dawson. examining Mr.. Cur

Mr.. Curtis said in many cases he did

ceived only four weeks compensa tion

Curtis thought that this mans depend

signed an order requiring the admins
traitor to furnish bonds of 100000 In
place of the $4,000 bond he furnished on
his appointment when his brothers estate
was represented to be not more than
$4,000.
The application to oust the admins

of st. Stanislaus, who made the amazing
declaration that the decedent died in
debted to the church to the extent Of
$500, 900, and that his estate was more
than s150,0oo. which his brother now
claims. Father Bialdyga alleges that
the actions of the brother have proved
him unfit to act as administrator In

which requires immediate adjustment.

would be introduced to show that the
priest continually drew checks agains,
