New York. April Standing room only was to be had when Uncle Sam today put into operation the paddock court. the newest New York weapon against prohibition violators.
 The court, opened at the request of the recently appointed United States district attorney, Emory R. Buckner, is designed to take care Of paddock cases exclusively. Federal Judge John c. Knox was on the bench when court opened, with all space in the room taken up by spec tators who mingled with thirty-two defendants and their attorneys.

In one instance the defendant had died.

By The Associated Press.

Berlin, April 27.-The election of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to the German presidency reacted un- favorably On the Bourse today, many of the industrials dropping ? to s points on account of feeling of tn- security with respect to the immedi- ate political effect and the adverse editorial comment beginning to come in from abroad.
 The German press naturally fol- lows the lines of its campaign af- filations. Die Zeit, Foreign Minister Stresemann's organ, ascribes Dr. Marks defeat in large measure to what 1t calls the doubtful methods of his newspaper adherents which it avows united the wavering voters in support of Hindenburg.
 The Deutsche Allegemeine Zei- tung. the Shines organ, expresses belief that the Marx managers in their calculations failed to take into account the tremendous clements working for Hindenburg and which brought about the latter's victory.
 The Nationalist Deutsche zeitung expresses the opinion that a new era has begun with the field marshal's election-an era in which self re- spect and honor will take the place of "subnissiveness."
 Germania, the Marx organ, asserts that the republic has lost battle but that there Is no reason for its adherents to be discouraged, since the margin of defeat is quite close.
 The Democratic Tageblatt visual izes the election result as q politi- cally unripe victory. and. of doubt full value to the successful side, as It was won on personality and not on program.
 The Socialist vorwaerts holds that Hindenburg was elected with the aid of the communists. and that the socialists duty is to get after this element and put it out of business politically,

QUESTIONS PROOF
 OF FINDING POLE Canadian Explorer Doubts Ad.
 miral Peary's Observations NOW LOOKS TO AMUNDSEN
Declares That Medal Given Amer- can Was For Work Done in The Arctic But Not For Discovery of The North Pole.

Quebec, April 27.--Captain Joseph T. Bernier, veteran Arctic explorer, said today he was prepared to pro- duce proofs of his assertion Saturday that climatic conditions were such as to make it highly improbable for Rear Admiral Robert Peary, U. s. N., to make sufficiently accurate ob- servations to verify his claim that he discovered the North Pole in 1909.
 Claims He Has Data
 T have my own beliefs" Captain Bernier said when pressed for fur ther statement, and that is all there is to it." He refused to dis cuss at length his sensational asser- ton beyond declaring that he had in his possession data which would prove his contention as to the solar conditions which, he claims, made 1t impossible for Peary to have verified the Poles discovery.
 Roald Amundsen, in the Cana dian's opinion, is the only man now living who has an opportunity to reach the pole. He expressed the hope that Amundsen would make tho discovery on his forthcoming ex- petition and mot stop when he gets within some miles of it."
 Peary's Medal
 Captain Bernier, in a statement given to the Montreal Standard Sat urday, said he had received conl- munication from Sir Clement Mark ham, who was president of the Royal Geographical society of London in 1909, which stated that the society had awarded a medal to Admiral Peary flor his work in the Arctic" but not for discovery of the Pole.
 Not even after a detailed study of Admiral Peary's records could the societys scientists arrive at a decis- ion as to the American's claim, Sir Clement was quoted as saying.
 Bernier reiterated his statement of Saturday that he had no desire to start a controversy and added that 1t was not his wish to discredit the memory of Admiral Peary.

New York, April 27.-The election of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg as president of Germany is a menace to world peace in the opinion of James w. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany.
 MT. Gerard today characterized the election as fiat declaration by the German people of a return to militarism and monarchism.
 He said that it was due partly to the swing toward conservatism which has been in evidence in this country and in England, and also to the fact that Von Hindenburg was the only outstanding figure of the old regime in Germany whose repu- tation survived the war.
 Prominent Germans here, how ever. saw in the election hopes for a united, peaceful nation.
