Cut Stone Ring
Men Indicted;
InCourt To-day
Jury Announces Blanket
Action Against Alleged
Anti Trust Violators,
but Withholds Names
Brindell Safes Unopened
Experts Work ON Them in
Vain; Prosecution Closes
Its Case This Morning

The extraordinary grand jury con-
siderlng the criminal evidence growing
out of the Lockwood committees in
vcstigation of the building industry
yesterday handed down another blanket
indictment involving members of the
Bronx Cut Stone Contractors Associa-
tion.
The accused are charged with viola
tions of the Donnelly antitrust laws.
The names and number of those in
volved were withheld. Clarence j.
Shearn, attorney for the defendants,
was ordered to produce the accused
men in court at IL o'clock this morn
ing.
News of the Indictment came shortly
after the resumption of the trial be-
fore Justice McAvoy of Robert 2. Brin-
dell, the reputed labor king, charged
with extortion. Following the exam
ination and cross-examination of sew
eral witnesses relative to the payment
of so-called bribe money to Brindell, it
was learned that the prosecution in
tends to close its case this morning.
Safes Defy Experts
Two steel safes were Yesterday re-
moved to the Criminal Courts Building
from the offices of the Building Trades
Council, of which Brindell is president
The safes were brought to the court
rooms by order of Justice McAvoy, it
being thought that they contained many
records and documents material to the
trial. Despite efforts of experts the
safes could not be opened yesterday
and it was the general opinion that
they would have to be blown" Before
this is done, however, it was said that
other expert safe men would be brought
to the court building to-day and asked
to solve the combination locks.
The first witness called by Samuel
Untermyer. the prosecuting attorney
yesterday was Rooeru Z. Whiting
supervisor of Labor matters for rne

pany: He said that Brndell, in Apri
and May OF 1920, had insisted that Will

Mr.. Whiting testified that in the
course Of his discussions with Brindel]
about the matter the latter suggested
that he give the work to any one OF
three firms, all of whom were domi-
mated, he said, by George Atwell
Whiting said the job had already been
promised to Waixel, to which. he added
Brindell replied that if Waixel was
not dismissed every Fuller Job through
out the country would be pulled"

placed in jeopardy again." said Dr.
Carder.
Captain Stoll has been in print be-
fore. First page stories on January
II, 1906, told of how delegation had
urged his name be put forward for
First Deputy Police Commissioner of
New York, to fill vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Thomas F. McAyoy.
Captain Stoll is veteran of the
Spanish hAmerican War. During the
Cleveland Administration, he was ap-
pointed superintendent Of mail carriers
in Chicago, which position he held four
years. In April, 1907, the captain was
referred to by New York evening
papers as the probable successor Of
General Bingham, who was reported
likely to resign.
On May IA, 1914, word came from
San Francisco that the F. A. Stokes,
the candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for lieutenant governor of Cali
fendant in a suit for a $500 board bill,
was none other than Captain Frederick
f. Stoll, of Chicago and New York.
Stoll at that time admitted that he
had come from Minneapolis four
years before, where he had been dis
trict sales manager for the United
Wireless Company.
After the California publicity, Cap
tain Stolls name did not get into
print, according to records at hand,
until early last year, when from his
headquarters in Washington, where he
was organizing the United States
Photoplay Corporation, he sent out
considerable publicity regarding a con-
test for 100 per cent movie hero.

Bandits Raid Store, Bind
Six, Get $4,000 Jewels
Girl Customer Says Four Toledo
Robbers Placed Chair and
ssTreated Her KindIy''

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 25.-Four ban
dts entered the Daniels jewelry store
here to-day, bound the proprietor and
customers hand and foot and escaped
in an automobile with jewclry valued
at more than $4,000.
The two proprietors were fclled and
bound by the bandits. Two customers,
one a girl, Miss Adel Laramie, seven
teen years old, upon entering the store
also were bound and placed in rear
room. Two architects determining re-
pairs to the store also entered, and
were similarly treated. One of these,
Sidney Aftcl, escaped in melee with
the bandits, but they fled before he
could summon aid.
Miss Laramie was furnished by the
bandits with chair. She said "they
were very kind to me during the half
hour they were in the store" The
robbers forced the proprietors to I'm
lock the safe at the point of revolvers.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-26

the witness said, between Brindell and
Paul Starrett, head Of the Fuller COM
pany, whereby Brindell's men were to
be put to work and Waixel reimbursed
by the company for all losses result
ing from the inferior labor. This loss,
said Whiting, amounted to S30,000.
Says Strike Was Called
Whiting said he had further dealings
with Brindell in connection with the
metropolitan Life Building Annex,
where Brindell is said to have an
nounced to Whiting that strike had
been declared because of the presence
Of non-union ironworkers.
"Brindell declared that every pound
of steel in the building" said Whiting,
would have to be pulled down before
any Of the trades would be permitted
to resume work"
Whiting testified he said he would
leave the Fuller company if it would
allow this. Work was permitted to GO
on, however, when the cement arch
job, being done by the Fuller COM
tractor suggested by Brindell
On one occasion, said Whiting, he
asked Brindell how it was that work
on the Cunard building was going on,
where non-unon iron workers we're
said to be employed, while the Fuller
company's operation, with similar men,
was stopped. To this, he testified,
Brindell's reply was: English money
is behind that job. They have lots of
it and we are going to make them
spend it,"
The other witnesses were Hyman
Clompoos, contracting house wrecker,
and Joseph Fl. Goldb!a att, builder.
Clompoos told how the presence of
Zaranko men caused strikes on his op-
eratlons and how he had paid Brindell
$500 on promise Of 81 900 to be per-
mitted to continue work with Zaranko
men. In addition, he said, he had to
pa. $50 for each of the Zaranko men
allowed to stay on the job.
Goldblatt said that he had to nav
more than $4,000 to Delegates Pike
and Chapman for Brindell to straighten

Governors Traction MESSAGE
Assailed by City Officials
La Cuardia Says if Legislature Backs Plan 1t Will
Have Effect of Handing Mayoralty to
Hylan ON Silver Platter

Governor Miller's message to the
State Legislature on the local traction
problem raised a storm of protest frorn
city officials yesterday, which was
practically summed up in phrase by
Major +. H. La Guardia, President of
the Board of Aldermen, who declared:
IF the Republican Legislature sup
ports Governor Miller's plan it Will
have the effect of handing the mayor
atty to Hylan on silver platter"
In Wall Street and traction circles
the message was received as the first
real prospect of solution of the pres
ent muddle that has yet appeared. Wall
Street emphasized its feeling in the
matter by the vigorous rise in the
prices of securities of most Of the trac-
ton companies listed on the Stock Ex-
change. Reflection later in the day,
iowever, resulted in recessions. AS m
Illustration, Interborough Rapid Tran
ut per cent refunding bonds went to
DO 12, new high for the current movs.-
ment, but closed at 53%.
In banking circles the message Of the
Governor was viewed as constructive
slthough bankers would not talk for
quotation. They were, however, skepti-
cal of the ability of the Governor to
push his program to q successful con-
summation because of political consid-
erations.
Garrison Approves Proposal
The opinion of traction interests was
reflected in a statement issued by
Lindley M. Garrison, in which he said:
Ut seems to me that the only hope
OF proper solution of the traction
problem lies along the lines Of the
Governors message. Unless, as he sug-
N%o ~
with fall authority and charged with
full responsibility, take this matter up
and give it the study it requires and
reach conclusion just to all, do not
see how 1t can ever tie properly set
tied. The only opponents Of this sound
and sensible method of treating this
business proposition will como from
those who seek personal and partisan
advantage in preventing a. just and
proper solution"
Aldermanic President La Guardia
discussed the Governors message dur
ing a speech before the New York Tex
tile School at 124 West Thirtieth
Street, last night. He told his hearers
that he had just returned from Albany
and that he had told the Governor
there that he was never more shocked
than when he read the message on the
traction situation.
ut contains the most daring sug-
gestions for solution Of the city
transit problems ever put forward. l
was stunned by it," he said. "The
terms Of the Governors proposals
mean that they take from the city the
power to pass on fare revisions and all
jurisdiction or control in any traction
matters except to put up the money
for new lines.
Sees Lines Going to Wall
"The Governors message suggested
that all the water had been squeezed
New-York tribune., 1921-01-26

out of the traction stocks. That is
startling statement to come from man
as careful as Governor Miller. l say
positively that absolutely none of the
water has been squeezed out of the
stock. No matter what increases are
granted in fares some of the surface
lines are in such bad condition that
nothing can prevent them from going
to the wall"
Frank Hedley, president of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company, re-
fused to discuss the message on the
ground that it would not be proper for
him to do so.
Comptroller Charles L. Craig issued
g statement of protest in which he de-
clared the Governo IS proposed solu-
tion of the fare question would be
step backward Of fifty years.
Governor Millers suggestion that
the foundation should now be laid for
municipal operation some time in the
half century the people of New York
City will be fair game for stock job
berry and manipulation. 1t is as though
he said: This gold mine should be
municipality owned, but privately
"Any legislative attempt to strip the
City of New York Of it's rights under
the present rapid transit contracts is
sure to meet with disappointment. The
courts may be relied upon to protect
the city in it's contract rights with the
lnterrborough and the B. R 7. upon
the faith Of which $400 900 900 of pub
lie moneys have been supplied for
their benefit"
Water Declared All There
Sigfried Cederstrom, the former teal
&nt 70
Comm ssion, yesterday said that the
best solution of the situation would
be to take physical valuation of all
the transit facilities of the city, and
then award fare that would give a
fair return upon that valuation ir-
respective of the capital stock

tlon Commissioner, in a statement de-
clared commission charged with

sponsible to local sentiment, and the
opposite theory advanced by Governor
Miller was a remarkable doctrine"

he said in his statement. "There is no

Ihere is no clash as to authority, only
the outworn, overcapitalized surface
lines are drifting toward disaster.
so lar as the records show no water
has been squeezed out of the privately
owned transit lines. The water is all
there, but dividends and interest are
not being paid on SO much Of it,
1T is safe to say that there will not
be any subways constructed for many
years if the proposal to strangle the
city authority is adopted by the Legis-
lature. This policy failed before and
it is certain to fail again, with the re-
suit that we will ',ave more renea1
legislation next year and chaos in
transit matters"
