GREEK BANKS GAIN
VOICE IN BANKRUPTCY
May Intervene in Action
Against Pteriotis.

Judge Charles NJ. Hough of the United
States District Court granted the petit
ton OF the Banque d Economic Rationale
and the Banque d'Industrie of Athens
yesterday TO intervene in the bank
ruptcy proceedings which have been
brought against George u. Pteriotls. who
is now under bail OF 100000. charged
with having obtained about s250,0O0
through raised bills of lading on ship
ments of merchandise to Greece The
two banks claim to be creditors to the
extent Of s127,250. The defendant was
given until October Z to answer the
amended petition.
Reading the proposed amended petit
ton shows, in my judgment, the follow
ing method of attack. Judge Hough
said: "Pteriotis acquired in New York
large sums of money by negotiating
altered bills of lading. quite probably
this alleged method was n statutory lar
ceny. which, however. did not prevent
him from being civilly indebted to all
persons who lost property or money by
reason OF negotiating the false bills.
Pending discovery. Pteriotis is al
legged TO have a 'scharged those debts that
he wished to discharge. thereby grant
ing. in some instances at any rate, pref
erences. and to have transferred, with
intent to defraut. large portions of the
money so as aforesaid obtained to per-
sons In foreign parts. Not IN facts, but
in legal method of attack, this is very
suggestive of the now pending and much
discussed case Of Arnstein. 1t is also
true that If there ever was a case in
which there existed continuing acts of
bankruptcy this Is such case, so far as
mere allegations go, and. of course,
take the petition. for the purposes of this
motion, as true"

ways their Commissioner made them
feel that they were objects of reprisal.

bills caused lot of irritation. The

cause of what seems to them an ex-
aggeration of the Importance of the
lieutenants. of whose associa tion Mr.
Enright was long pres dent They &C
cuse him of codd ing the lieutenants in
stead of making them work. They also
say he could have done more than he
did to get the lower salaries increased
in the last two years.
The point of all this is that the pa
trclmen whether properly so or not, are
sore and that their soreness. coming to
the surface in a political campaign. has
engaged the earnest attention Of Tam
many. The Democratic organization has
in recent years tried to keep away from
the police. as the police and politics have
been found to mix very badly. Now it
attributes its present interest TO the re-
ported discovery that the Commiss 'oner
is playing politics in the department,
that everybody IN the department is
playing politics and that the Democratic
ticket will be knitted in the house of its
friends If the patrolmen are not APP
peased. Incidentally. the patrolmen do
not think much of the police clubhouse
established on Riverside Drive. nor do
they favor the idea of a police hospital
for which a S5.O00,00O fund is proposed.

The police were unable to obtain any
definite description of the holdup men.
Detectives from the East Fifty-first
street station took up the chase in an
automobile a few minutes after the
holdup occurred. Bohnloflnk ran to the
station as fast as he could after he
picked himself up.
This robbery. like a number OF others
in the last few months, occurred within
4 short distance of police station. The
East Fifty-first street station was hardly
more than around the corner. Last

Two Attack Newman.

Two of the men sprang at Newman.
He was carrying the money. sS,S77.50 in
all, in two paper packages. which con-
tanned bills, and two small bags filed
with SILVER. They threw him against
the railing and beat him over the head
with revolver butt until he fell I'M
conscious. One grabbed the packages
and bags and dashed to an automobile
which stood few feet away.
Bohnlofink, who was armed. had no
chance to use his gun. The bandits
knew he carried one, and two of them
sprang upon him while the others were
beating up Newman. They ripped the
gun from its holster at his belt and
one of them swung twice on his jaw.
Then they made for the machine. which
started quickly and turned at high
speed south on Second avenue.
Newman's head was BADLY cut. He
was treated at the East Fifty-first street
police station, where he was taken
shortly after the holdup with Bohnlofink
The cashier had made the same trip
every Friday for the last eight or nine
years. But for some months past he
told the police. he had protested against
carrying the money, even though ac-
companied by a guard. telling his en-
ployers that he considered it dangerous.
