Judge Upholds Girls
Claim to French Lad
Appoints Stenographer Guard
ian of Abandoned Young
ster. Heir to Fortune

There being no opposition, Surrogate
Cohalan yesterday indicated that he
would appoint Miss Margaret c. Nell
son, stenographer of the American
Sugar Refining Company, guardian of
fourteen-yearold Eugene de Claria
Lapanne, French boy who is a pros
pective heir of LARGE estate, and now
is being cared for by Miss Nelson at
600 West 136th Street.
Eugene was abandoned about two
years ago. Mrs. Maria Prautsch, his
godmother, who was a friend of the
boys mother, early one morning found
the lad on her doorstep in Jersey City.
Since then the mother and father Of
the founding died. About a month
ago Octave Tardieu of New Haven,
Conn, appeared and claimed Eugene as
his son. He said that soon after the
boy was born his wife became insane
and that Mr.. and Mrs. Lapanne, who
were boarding with the Tardieu family,
took Eugene away
Mr.. Tardieu was not in court vester-
day and Miss Nelson's claim to
guardianship was unopoosed It was
said that Mr.. Tardieu had decided to
defer his claim of guardianship for an
other time, when he will seek to prove
that he is the boys father.

Hylan Campaign Opened
With a Paper of Praise
THE Peoples Advocate" Is.
sued by Francis Bent, De-
voted to Unfolding Mayor

Francis P. Bent, head of one of
Mayor Hylan's investigating bureaus,
yesterday opened the Mayors publicity
campaign by issuing the first number
of The Peoples Advocate, four-p page
eight-column publication. The Advo-
cate is published by the NohP Partisan
Vigilance Committee, and Mr.. Bent
says that he can be reached by send
ing to P. o.. Box 1913, City Hall Sta
ton. The paper carries four-column
cut of MIR. Hylan, and one of the slo-
gans is, "Shall the city control the
subways the people built and paid
for?"
The leading articles are headed,
"Fare Grabbers Are After 3 Billions
of Peoples Cash" and mayor Reviews
His Stewardship; Fine Record of FL
deity"
Most of the kind things said about
Mayor Hylan by his commissioners
and by the Hearst newspapers are re-
produced in The Advocate, which close
ly resembles the Hearst publications
geographically There is reprinted an
address made by Commissioner En-
right, asserting that Mayor Hylan is
the best Mayor the city ever had, and
that Commissioner Enright is the most
efficient head of police. Mayor Hylan
is pictured IN cartoon as throttling
Wall Street. which is represented as a
ve7y fat man with plenty of money.
The Mayor has him by the collar and
is shouting 81 am the Mayor to him.
another contribution is from Grover
Whalen, who tells how city-owned d
buses "solye the traffic JAM.

Stadtnluller Will
Expose Br'indell's
Extortion Scheme
Convicted Aid of Former
Labor Czar TO Appear Be-
fore Lockwood Inquiry.
Assistant Prosecutor Saws

Peter Stadtmuller, convicted last
Wednesday of extortion, was the chief
witness yeste rday against Joseph Moran
who was indicted with him, but is
being tried separately before Justice
McAvoy in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court.
The chief development of the trial
yesterday was the announcement by
Assistant District Attorney Ferdinand
Peeora that some time next week Stadt-
muller would appear before the Lock
wood committee and tell all about the
methods of Robert P. Brindell, con-
victed building trade czar, whose lieu
tenants Moran and he were until they
were indicted for the extortion of
$1,000 from Max Minnisohn, of the In
terstate Wrecking Company, last Sep
tember.
A. P. Murray, of so Church Street,
Stadtmuller's attorney, also announced
that his clients story would not only
interest the builders and the public,
but would be q revelation even TO mem
bers of the labor organizations in the
Building. Trades Council. Samuel Un-
termyer, counsel for the Lockwood
committee, said, however, he was not
particularly interested in Stadtmullers
offer.
John J. O'Connor, counsel for Moran,
tried to get Stadtmuller to admit that
he had turned states evidence because
Assistant District Attorney Stanley
Richter had promised him q light SEN
tence, but this Stadtmuller denied, say
ing he had been promised nothing
Beginning new line of examination,
O'Connor asked Stadtmuller whether
he had not said when the indictment
was returned against him that he had
never taken dollar and was answered
in the affirmative. Pressed to explain,
Stadtmuller said he meant that he had
never taken a dollar as organizer of
the Dockbuilders and Houseshorers
Union.
The next witness was Jacob Kamen,
a housewrecking contractor, who testi-
fed to paying Moran and Stadtmuller
$500 August 27 last so that he could
continue work on job he was doing at
Eighth Avenue and Fiftieth Street.
The trial will be resumed Monday.

Escape With Payroll
After Daylight Hold-Up
Thugs Blackjack David Scott on
Way From Bank and
Steal $3.50

Two armed men held up David n.
Scott yesterday afternoon and, after
beating him about the head, made off
with $3.50 in payroll money. The at
tack took place on Jefferson Street, be-
tween Rutgers Place and Water Street,
within sight of the Fidelity Warehouse
Company, of which Scott is the man
ager.
Every Friday, shortly after noon,
Scott goes to the Irving National Bank
in the Woolworth Building to obtain
money with which to pay the en-
ployees of the warehouse company at
271 South Street. Yesterday, follow
ing his usual custom, he was walking
along the west side of Jefferson Street
with the money in the inside pocket of
his coat, AS he was passing the entrance
to a stable, which occupies the block
west of the Fidelity Warehouse Com
pany, two men slipped out of an auto
mobile and pounced on him from the
rear.
One of the men struck Scott with a
blackjack while the other took the
money. Scott was too stunned to make
an outcry and the attack took place so
quickly that he could only catch sight
of one of his assailants. He was a
short, swarthy man, dressed in blue
serge suit. He had revolver. The
hold-up men escaped in a dark blue
sedan

Jury Can't Agree in
Trial of Boy for Murder
Eleven. Y ear-Old Gets 4. Months
AT Home to Help Mother
Plow and Make Pickles
Special Dispatch to 7he Tribu,

EPtCUt Di5UhtNb 10 iHt 4 FIDHH5
KNOX, Ind, June 3-After eighteen
hours of deliberation. the jury which
listened to the evidence against Cecil
Burkett, the eleven year old boy who
was tried for the murder of Benny
Slafin, his seven-yeai- i-old chum, failed
to reach verdict and was discharged
by judge Pentecost this morning This
means that Cecil will have at least four
months more of liberty. The case, it
is expected, will again come up for
trial in October. Meanwhile Cecil will
remain at liberty under a $4,000 bond.
1t was not learned how many ballots
were taken by the jury, but it is be-
lieved they were many, for it is known
that determined effort was made to
reach decision. The residents of Knox
and Ora, the latter town being the
home of the central figures in the trial,
had expected that Cecil would be found
not guilty.
After Cecil had been freed he was
asked If he would now go, home and
play all summer. His mother an
swered for him, as soon as she could re
gain her composure
"No, indeed" she said, Cecil does
most of the piowing and gardening at
our place. And after the plowinE is
done there will be the pickles to take
care of. Cecil doesn't have much time
for playing in the summer"

Million Made ,
La April Under
Phone Increase
Company's Figures Reveal
Earnings Slightly Above
Eight Per Cent i'm First
Month of the New Rates
p. S. C. to Make Analysis
J. L. Swayze, Corporations
Counsel, Says Income Is
Subject to FIucfuaiion

William A. Prendergast, Chairman y,
the new Public Service Commission
made public yesterday a report from
j. L. Swayze, general counsel tn The
New York Telephone Company. sbov.
ing the effect upon the compang's rsv.
enues of the increase in .teis,bn,a
rates which were authorized by the old
commission on March II, 1921. tn.
new commission made the reoues4 II
the telephone company for the fgurs,
at its initial hearing recently in the
telephone rate inquiry.
according to Mr.. Swayze's letss,
it is shown that the admitted trts
earnings of the company for the month
of April will be s1,O06, ,O09," said Chair.
man Prendergast. "The order approv.
ing the increase in rates made in
March last was issued primarily unon
the assumption that the company had
been called upon to make increases
amounting to eleven million Of dollars
in its salary and wage accounts. II
would appear from the figures now
submitted that if the admitted earn.
ings for April would be the averaps
monthly earnings for a year, the per
annum earnings would be in excess %
the amount it was proposed To covsr
in the order referred to.
This is especially significant :,
view of Mr.. Swayze's frank statement
that on the company's claimed 6xed
property investment the earnings on
the April basis would be a trife over
8 per cent. It is the purpose of the
commission immediately to make 2
thorough analysis of the figures sub
mitted by the telephone COMPANY.
with view to determining such actin
as the indicated earnings would JUS.
tify."
In submitting his statement Mr..
SwayZe pointed out that it was only
for operating expenses and earnings.
and included no items to cover divi-
dends upon the stock or interest upon
Indebtedness or any returns received
by the company in outside investments.
He said that in January, 1921, the COM
pany failed to earn its operating ex-
penses by $144,831, but that in Febru-
airy it earned $3S,821 more than its ex.
penses. In March the earnings grew
to S12S. 208. and iIp April they had be-
come 81 ,080, ,09S. With the April earn
ings corrected so that the charges
against the same which will be made
at later period are made, and the
tax adjustment is as the company an
ticipates, Mr.. SwayZe said, "the resu.
will be that the true net earnings for
April will amount to S1,oo6,009.7
