Audit Heads Are Accused

Three indictments CHARGING con.
splracy to evade payment of income
taxes were returned yesterday by the
Federal grand jury against firms who
were clients of the Sterling Account
ing and Audit Company, of 366 Fifth
avenue. The books and files of the
oterllng concern were seized three
weeks ago, when Morris Rachmil and
a. Lincoln Samuelson, heads Of the
nrm, we're arrested on conspiracy

The indictment against Levanthal
charges his returns showed an income

of approximately $4,000, which the
government accountants say was due
The !ndictment against Bloom alleges
that he attempted to defraud the gov
ernment out of over $1,000 in taxes,
and that against Weinstein and Sam
uels charges that the income of the
partnership was manipulated SO as to
indicate that they made S14,6342S,

Building and surrendered himself. He
will not be arraigned and given his lib
erty until this morning, when he will
plead and furnish bail.

Forgotten Painting
Gives Blakelock
New Sanity Chance
Canvas Left for Unpaid
Board Bill Brings $4,000;
Insane Painter Will Be
Given Outing in Country

Ralph Albert Blakelock, the painter
whose masterpieces brought him fame
after he became insane, is to have a
$4,000 vacation in the hope that his
mind may be restored to him. The
money represents all the fortune that
is left to him. although during his de-
tention in an insane asylum his paint
ings have sold for thousands of dollars
each.
Blakelock now seventy-two years old,
yesterday was taken from the State
Hospital, at Middletown, N. Y, in an
automobile. His custodian was a rep
resentative of Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
undertaken to make Blakelock's declin-
ing days as pleasant as possible.
Hope to Restore Mind
1t IS understood that Blakelock is to
spend the summer in quiet artists
colony in Connecticut. He is to be pro-
vided with studio, and, if he desires,
is to be permitted to paint. The idea
is that the environment of his earlier
days may help to clear his memory.
A week ago Mrs. Adams consulted
DR.. NJ. c. Ashley, the superintendent,
and decided to give the artist a change
She told Blakelock he had $4,000 to
his credit, the result Of the sale of a
painting which years ago he had left
ot the Twenty-third Street Y. M. c. A.
as collateral for an unpaid board bill.
At first Blakelock declined to leave he
institution, but when Mrs. Adams told
him of studio to be placed at his
service he could not resist.
Blakelock has been insane for sew
enteen years. Various experiments of
taking him into the country have
failed to improve him. He now weighs
less than 100 pounds.
Wants to Paint Again
Despite his ailments he still is con-
vinced that hc can paint as of yore.
He recently told DR.. Ashley that he
could produce masterpieces if he had
studio. One of his illusions is that
he is very wealthy. Not long ago he
sent check for $9.OO0,0OO to a mem
-. of the National Academy of Design
in return for a triAing favor
While he has been in poverty his
ps< tings have helped to make others
r-@. His Moonlight brought 500, 1000
at an auction. Another painting sold
for $4,000. Some of his canvasses
hang in the Metropolitan Museum Of
Art. Scores OF imposters have tried to
sell paintings falsely signed "Blake-

HUNDREDS and sometimes thou

weather while waiting to change cars
at the intersection of East 149th Street
and Third Avenue, known to ali
Bronxites as the Hub"
At that point the Third Avenue az"
sends hundreds overhead to the Ire
mont and Fordham sections and at the
same time discharges on an average O.
10000 to 1900 people day, with
transfers, down five stairways to the
street below.
Nc less than six streetcar lines reach
the "Hub," each from a different di-
rection, and it is here also rnar the
subway receives and discharges pas
sengers.
Traffic is always congested at the
HUB said Joseph Brown, the man
ager of, one of the branch Offices of a
Manhattan daily yesterday. Something
should be done to protect the people
from the elements at this point, ana the
traffic police on duty there should be
added to. Conditions always are ex-
tremely bad about o'clock morning
and evening"
