100000 SOVIET
GOLD SOUGHT HERE
Officers of National Bank OF
Commerce and Guaranty
Trust CO./to Testify.

On May 10. Albert Telfeyan OF S.
Telfeyan & Co., Oriental rug importers
of 92o Broadway. read in a newspaper
that 100000 Of Soviet gold had been
received from Russia by two banks,
$1,000 900 by the National Bank of Com
merce and 100000 by the Guaranty
Trust Company. He telephoned his
lawyer. Milton b. Ignatius, in Nassau
street. to get busy.
Mr.. Telfeyan was in Russia in 1920
the following day the Red Army
swarmed into the oil city, grabbing
everything that looked worth stealing,
They put Mr.. Telfeyan into prison and
confiscated his property, which they
loaded upon railroad cars and sent "a
Moscow. There was $4,000 worth OF
rich rugs and other effects for which
Mr.. Telfeyan, when he was finally re-
leased, could obtain no satisfaction.
When he read on May 10. therefore
that 100000 in real yellow money had
been sent to this country for the estab-
lishment of trading credits for the
Soviet, he thought he saw his way to
getting satisfaction for $4,000 worth OF
stolen goods. Attorney Ignatius got out
a writ of attachment against Lenine.
Trotzky. John Doe & Co.. and against
the National Bank of Commerce and
the Guaranty Trust Company. but the
two banks promptly certified to Sheriff
Nagle that they hadn't seen an ounce
of the SO called Soviet gold. They as
serted that they had received no con-
signment of any kind from the Soviet
Government or any individual in it.
Mr.. Telfeyan and Mr.. Ignatius were
not satisfied with the replies made BY
the banks. so they went before Justice
Tierney in the Supreme Court yester-
day and got an order requiring Edward
Vanderpoel, assistant cashier of the
National Bank Of Commerce. and Mat.
thew T.. Murray. secretary of the Guar.
anty Trust Company, to appear on May
81 at 10 ~. M. and answer certain
questions. Lawyer Ignatius wants t
put. Mr. Ignatius is proceeding on tho
theory that the banks made a technica
denial; that 1t was doubtless true tina,
sthey hadn't received any coin from the
Soviet Government or any individua
of the Government, but that it was pos.
sible, at least, that they had received
large sum in gold from some private
person in Russia, who might, conceiv.
ably, have been acting for the Soviet
Bank officials yesterday made &
formal denial yesterday that they hac
received any gold whatever from Russia
for considerable time. The question
is what became of the 100000 which
was supposed to have arrived on May 8
100000 in the Scandinavian American
steamship Oscar H.. and $1,00O,0O0 or
the Norwegian-American steamship
Stavangerfjord.

PRENDERGAST POETIZES
AS GAS HEARINGS END
Hints at QuibbIes by Corpor-
alton Counsel O'Brien.

When Corporation Counsel ]. p.
O'Brien served notice on the Public
Service Commission yesterday that the
city would withdraw from further par
ticipation in the gas rate hearings un-
less the commission modified some OF
its rulings Chairman Prendergast said
IL reminded him of the following verse
from the Old English:
The slave of arrogance and pride,
He has no hearing the prudent side
His oft repeated quirks he still repeats,
New raised objections with new quibhles
meets.
Until. sinking in the quicksand he defends,
He dies disputing. and the contest ends.
The Corporation Counsel insisted that
the commission accept the testimony of
w. r. Bfrdsley. chief gas inspector of
the Water Department. He also OBJ
jected to the commission prejudging the
case by permitting the Kings County
Lighting Company to adopt the B. T. II.
System before the hearing ended.
An attack on the commission for giv-
ing this privilege to the Kings County
Company was made by Albert Clements
of the Citizens Association of Bay
Ridge. 1t was ordered stricken from
the record Chairman Prendergast de-
clared the hearings closed.

FUSION IN CONGRESS
FIGHTS IS UNLIKELY Y
Democrats Feel 1t Is Their
Year and They Can Win.

Fusion on nominees for Representa-
tive in Congress is not regarded as prob
able this year by the Republican and
Democratic organizations in New York
county. It was learned yesterday Tam
many had received coolly a suggestion
for a combination in one or two OF the
strong Socialist districts. Even in those
sections where the Socialist vote Is larg-
est there is not likely TO be fusion can
ddate next autumn. This Is largely
due TO the reapportionment put through
the Legislature last spring.
In all districts including those on the
East Side and in The Bronx, where there
is a strong Socialist sentiment. the DEM
ocrats believe they have a good chance
to win. They are counting on reversing
two or three districts which now are Re-
publican. The Congress contests will be
harder fought than for several years be-
cause of the liquor enforcement and
bonus issues.
Tammany also IS said to disapprove a
suggestion of fusing on two General Ses-
sions Judges. as II is felt that this Is a
Democratic year and that the Democrats
can elect both. They are not inclined to
accept the suggestion that they indorse
Morris Koenig in return for Republican
Endorsement of Robert S. Johnstone.
Charles +. Murphy presented the name
OF Judge Cornelius r. Collins for one of
the new General Sessions positions Gre
ated last spring. The Governor sp-
pointed Mr.. Johnstone. an independent
Democrat and for many years an AS
sistant District Attorney. Mr.. koenig,
brother of the county leader, was named
for the other position. The understand
ing was that both would be nominated
this year with fusion Endorsement for
both.
II Tammany does refuse to indorse
Judge Koenig it is probable that Judge
Collins will be nominee on the Demo
cratic ticket.

SPROUTING SEED POTATOES
No Profit in This After Four
Year Test.


The practice of greening and
sprouting seed potatoes in a
warm, light place, for a few
days before planting, is not
worth while, according to tests
carried on at the Missouri Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station
for the last four years.
The seed potatoes which were
to be sprouted were removed
from storage about two weeks
before planting time and spread
out in a thin layer on a Slated
tray which was placed in a
well lighted basement room, At
ter sprouting for ten days or.
more, the potatoes were cut to
uniform sized pieces and plant
ed by hand to prevent breaking
the sprouts.
The results showed conclusive
ly that the practice did not pay.
1t actually decreased the yield
of No. l potatoes, decreased the
total yield and increased the
percentage Of culls.
