The organization has fully 700 members, and is one of the most influential political organizations in Williamsburg. president, Richard Weber, declared that members would gladly support a public-spirited movement of this kind, saying, "We're for anything that will benefit Brooklyn." A Joint meeting of the advisory and executive committees of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club, which has membership of more than 1,200, was held last night, and a resolution similar in Intent and purpose to that proposed by The Eagle was adopted. Great enthusiasm was expressed at a wel lattended meeting of the Oakcrest Association, 155 Avenue J. The organization expressed willingness to do anything within its power to secure the appointment of a resident of Brooklyn to the Public Service Board. It was unanimously voted to adopt The Eagle's resolution and forward it to Governor Glynn.

Even a temporary exile to far away Bermuda does not quell the ardor of Judson G. Wall, who writes from that place as follows: "I enclose herewith a signed petition for the appointment of a Brooklyn man to All the vacancy on the Public Service Commission. Permit me to express my deep appreciation of the good work The Eagle has done in the matter. "I have been for some weeks so completely exiled in this comparative paradise that I don't know whether the place has been filled or not, but I do believe that the transportation improvements promised to Brooklyn are absolutely essential for the maintainance of the financial credit of the city. Brooklyn with its 215,000 parcels of taxable property should be regarded as deserving the prompt attention its citizens demand in the matter of new subways." Civic bodies, church, business men's societies and other organizations who are interested in the welfare of this borougn may obtain copies of the resolution prepared by the Eagle upon application.

FOREMAN SHOOTS WORKER Lombardi Says That Cocondaglio Threatened His Life. Frank J. Miller, superintendent of the lasting department in the shoe factory of the J. M. Dodd Company at 110 York street, heard three barks from a revolver at 8 o'clock this morning, and turning, in the workroom on the third floor, he saw one of the journeymen lasters, Rosario Cocondaglio, drop in a heap on the floor, while Tony Lombardi, the foreman, pocketed a revolver.

It is three years since one of the workmen shot and killed a foreman in the same factory. This time the tables were turned and a foreman shot and fatally injured the workman. "What did you do that for, Tony?" Mr. Miller asked the foreman. "He said he would kill me.

I got him first," was the reply. The foreman is 30 years old and lives with his wife at 40 Union avenue. The man who was shot had been working a3 a journeyman in the shop for some time. He is 26 years old, unmarried, and his home was at 76 Forsyth street, Manhattan. Yesterday the foreman laid him off for a week because there was no more work ready for him.

This morning Cocondaglio came back and had a quarrel with the foreman. Their angry words were not understood, but the superintendent saw them wrangling, and then he heard the shots. Patrolmen Wardell and Haas of the Poplar street station were called in and an ambulance was sent for. The wounded man, who had been shot in the chest and in the abdomen, was made as comfortable as possible. He identified Tony Lombardi as the man who had shot him, and Lombardi acknowledged that he had done so to protect his own life.

The wounded Inan proved to be unarmed. After the accused foreman had been held without bail by Magistrate Nash for an examination on the witnesses were taken to the District Attorney's office and their depositions were secured. BELIEVE TREATIES ARE SAFE. Senators Expect Their Ratification Without Any Amendments. Washington, February 21-Senators of the Foreign Relations Committee were confident today that the general arbitration treaties with Great Britain, Japan and six other nations would be ratifled before adjournment.

Administration leaders asserted that further argument seemed useless. Those who opposed arbitration as a national policy, they said, had exhausted their field for argument in the debate of the last days, while others who sought to amend the treaties had made their fight and lost by a decisive vote. When the Senate began work it was believed amendments would be pressed. As an against further delay, champions of the treaties pointed out that to amend any of the conventions at this time would be discriminatory, Inasmuch as a similar treaty with France was ratifled by the Senate last summer and renewed. To adopt general amendments to a treaty with Great Britain, Japan, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal or Switzerland, it was contended, would necessitate abrogation of the French treaty.

The decisive vote yesterday against any amendments was also pointed to as al the futility of pressing further changes. KRESCENT TENNIS CLUB HOST. Gives Enjoyable Dance to a Big Gathering of Friends. The Krescent Tennis Club of Flatbush gave a very enjoyable dance last evening at the St. George.

BOARD WILL MEET FRIDAY. Hylan Denies His Own Reappointment Will Affect Decision--Opposes Mitchel's Plan.

The Board of City Magistrates has come to no understanding concerning the question of appointments of chief clerks in their courts. Whether they will bow to the will of Mayor Mitchel and appoint only lawyers the places that are about to become vacant, or will kick over the traces and appoint whomsoever they please is a question that they themselves cannot answer at the present moment. There may be a compromise. Some of the members of the Board are to come before the Mayor for reappointment some time during his term, and they may want to meet him half way in the wishes he expressed in this letter to Chief Magistrate Kempner. The latter said this morning that the members of the board had not had any understanding about what they would do -whether they would accept the Mayor's suggestions or lay them aside.

"A story that we had agreed to 'Agnt the said Magistrate Kempner this morning, "does not seem to me to have any foundation in fact. I do not see how such a story could get out unless the writer of it saw the members of the board individually and asked their opinion, and that it hardly likely. When the queston of delay in making the appointments first came up, as the Mayor's suggestion, and before he wrote the letter, I took the liberty of appointing a committee on appointments and re-appointments. The committee consisted of Magistrates Naumer, Dooley, Miller, Hylan and myself. We had a meeting and had agreed tentatively, to reappoint all of the present chief clerks, with the exception of McKeon, in the Manhattan avenue court, and Connerty in the Far Rockaway court.

Of course this letter from the Mayor, asking us to appoint only lawyers to the places put a new light on the subject, and what we did at the previous meeting of the committee may be reconsidered, I have called a meeting of the committee on reappointment for next Wednesday and a meeting of the Board on Friday." "My policy has been in favor of pro- moting good men from lower places in the magistrates courts. That was the reason why, in face of much objection, I stuck out for the promotion of Paul Donnelly, a lawyer, to fill the unexpired term of the late Mr. Flannigan, in the Domestic Relations Court." Magistrate John F. Hylan today came out with a statement objecting to the inference that his position regarding the court clerks would be affected by the fact that he would shortly come up for reappointment as a magistrate. He asserted that this had nothing at all to do with his attitude, and in making this assertion he came out flatly as against Mayor Mitchel's request that only lawyers in future snould be considered for appointment as chief clerks in the city magistrates courts.

Magistrate Hylan declared it would be unfair not to reappoint as chief clerks men who had been doing efficient and faithful service for years. None of the Queens will discuss the quest Mayor Magistrates, Mitchel to Chier Magistrate Kempner that lawyers only be considered in future for appointment as chief clerks in the City a Magistrates Court. There are two vacancies in Queens to be filled. The terms of Thomas I. Connerty, at Far Rockaway, and James Butler at the Jamaica Court, have expired.

Butler, who resides in Corona and is a personal friend of Borcugh President Maurice E. Connolly, was appointed at the request of Mr. Connolly when the Jamaica Court was opened, February 1, 1910. He is a strong organization man and is said to have the support of the majority of the city magistrates of Queens. He is not a lawyer.

TAKE UP MURPHY'S CASE National League Magnates In Session Today at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, February 21-Presidents and directors of National League clubs, together with mnay others interested in organized baseball, are here today for the purpose of attending the meeting called by President John K. Tener. The only president of a league club absent was Charles W. Murphy of Chicago, who is 111 with lumbago.

His interests will probably be looked after by Vice President Harry Ackerland of Pittsburg. It was generally understood by the baseball magnates that the meeting Was to pass upon President Tener's verdict in Evers case. Mr. Tener has not made the public his decision, but this afternoon will be in conference with the board of directors of the National League. Following this meeting, there will be a general meeting of the league presidents.

Besides the Evers case, the magpates today said that the Federal League situation would be taken up, but there was no hint that any other action than that LOW being pursued by organized baseball would be taken. It was the expectatior. before the meeting that the session would be a brief one. THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL. Half-Rate Coupons Still Valid for Concerts at the Academy.

LEVY TO SUCCEED DR. LAWS Greene Avenue Baptist Church Confident Newton Center Pastor Will Accept. WARM WELCOME AWAITS HIM. New England Minister Received Unanimous and Hearty Call Lest Night. At a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting of the Greene Avenue Baptist Church last night the Rev.

Maurice Ambrose Levy, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Newton Centre, was called REV. MAURICE AMBROSE LEVY to the pastorate. It is confidently expected that he will accept, although it is not yet known when he will begin his pastorate. Edward Sanford, a member of the board of trustees and superintendent of the Sunday school, was chosen to William P. Goldin, clerk of the church, kept the minutes.

The report of the pulpit committee was read by the secretary, J. W. Lukenbach. It was adopted, and the call was extended without a dissenting voice. The pulpit committee, consisting of E.

A. Fitter, chairman; B. F. Knowles, Edward T. Jenkins, Franklin P.

Sellers and J. W. Lukenbach, secretary, has been at work for nine months, ever since the Rev. Dr. Curtis Lee Laws resigned to become the editor of the WatchmanExaminer, and has visited many cities and heard a number of ministers.

Only one name was presented a last night, that of Mr. Levy. Maurice Ambrose Levy was born in Townsend, September 13, 1874. His father, Adolph M. Leve, after fitting at Andover, was a member of the class of 1863 at Harvard.

Leaving college at end of his junior year, he enlisted in the Thirty-eighth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and served to the end of the Civil War, being wounded at Port Hudson. His mother, Ellen (Stickney) Leve, after studying at Abbot Academy, Andover, taught for a time in the public schools of Townsend. He has one brother, Alvah M. Levy, a lawyer, who resides in Fitchburg, Mass. Mr.

Levy received his early education in the public schools of Townsend, and Sandusky, 0. He prepared for collage at Cushing Academy, Ashburnham, in the class of 1893. In the fall of that year he entered Williams College and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank in 1897. He pursued his theological studies at the Newton Theological Institution, graduating in 1900. He was married June 14, 1899, to Miss L.

Mabel Deland of Lynn, Mass. They have one son, Maurice Eugene, born April 26, 1902. Mr. Levy served as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Hingham, during his theological course and until May, 1901. He then became pastor of the First Baptist Church in Medford, remaining in that city until April, 1907.

when he accepted a call to the First Baptist Church in Newton, located in Newton Centre, Mass. During these pastorates he has been intensely interested in community and missionary work. This has led to frequent requests to address conventiong and speak at afterdinner occasions. He was one of the speakers at the Baptist Anniversaries in Dayton, 0., in 1906, and at the Northern Baptist Convention in Portland, in 1909. He was a trustee of "The World in Boston, America's First Great Missionary Exposition," and is at the present time recording secretary of the Northern Baptist Convention, a member of the board of managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, a director of the Northern Baptist Education Society and the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society, and a trustee of the Newton Theological Institution.

He has also been active in patriotic organizations, and, on leaving Medford, was made an honorary member of General S. O. Lawrence Post No. 66, G. A.

R. The Rev. George C. McKiernan, who has been for several years assistant to Dr. Laws, will, on his own motion, sever his connection with the official boards, upon receipt of the acceptance of Mr.

Levy. TUG HITS A BARGE. Captain Rex of the Dalzell Rescues Crew of Sinking Boat. While rounding the Battery with the barge Devon in tow, the tug Paoli, of the New York and Susquehanna Railroad, was rammed yesterday afternoon by the New York Central tug Edward F. Murray.

The Paoli was bucking her way through the floe ice against a strong ebb tide when the New York Central tug bore down on her and struck her on the port bow. A hole was torn in the Paoll's port bow above and below the water line, and she started to All rapidly. Captain Wilson Rex of Woodhaven Junction, L. skipper of the tug G. H.

And there's nothing to do but make the best of it.

SO here goes! Complying with the request which was sent out in the form of letter to the various newspapers of New York and Brooklyn, I was asked to hie myself to the Berkeley Theater yesterday afternoon and see what was to be seen. Which turned out to be nothing. Arriving at the stated hour, 2:30, I beheld a raft of young gentlemen clamoring for entrance to the aforesaid theater. They were reporters--and this is what it all was about. The burlesque "Sanctuary," written by Percy Mackay, which was "put on the boards" last summer in Cornish, N.

with Miss Eleanor Wilson as the "leading lady," is about to be staged again. And why? To tell you the truth, I never have found out. Of course, it is to raise funds, but for what, nobody seems to know. Some say it is to start a fund for the erection of a building for political education; others, that. it is simply to lay before the public a question which is too little considered in this country: the wanton slaughter of our feathered friends, the birds.

We pushed our way in and were promptly pushed out--no less a person than Mr. Mackay doing the "push act." He seemed rather surprised to see usand not a bit happy about it. Someone showed him his "letter of Mr. Mackay was still more surprised. He explained at length that it was a gross mistake, that we never should have peen "invited," and asked us if we could find the door.

Before leaving, however, Miss Wilson granted us an interviewif it could be called such. She is a nice, sweet American girl---and I just know the world lost a good suffragist when she became the President's daughter. I am sure she has opinions, but isn't it very, shame she cannot express them or even send them by parcel post? No, she not wearing a wire bustie as they was, Paris, nor a bleu de roil ALMOST A RIOT AT TAX HEARING Vigorous Opposition Shown to the Herrick-Schaap Bill Now at Albany. PROF. SELIGMAN'S VIEWS.

Mayor Mitchel, Controller Prendergast and Others Strongly Against the Measure. After an exciting debate, which finally threatened to develop into a riot, in the old council chamber in the City Hall. Manhattan, yesterday afternoon, the Board of Estimate went on record unanimously as opposed to the Herrick-Schaap bill, now before the legislature, which proposes a referendum on the question of reducing the tax rate buildings to half that on land. The opposition was particularly bitter because the bill is looked upon in many quarters as an opening wedge for the single tax. Those who favor the bill were also well represented.

Every seat in the council chamber was taken and many were standing. In the crowd were many Brooklynites. The only one of them to speak was Frederick L. Cranford, one of the vice presidents of the Business Men's Association to Untax Industry. He spoke in favor of the referendum, Controller Prendergast, when he cast his vote, declared himself opposed to the prinicples of the bill, while the Mayor and Aldermanic President McAneny explained ed their opposition on the ground that the citizens of the city are not yet ready to vote on the question.

Professor Seligman of Columbia University, who led the opposition to the bill, declared that it would have an effect exactly opposite to that set forth by its advocates. He asserted that higher taxes on land would be followed by higher interest rates and this would compensate for any lower rent a house owner might obtain. The resolution adopted by the board was as follows: "Resolved, That the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the City of New York earnestly deprecates the passage of the Herrick-Schaap bill, or any similar legislation, until the question involved in this proposed measure has been given the careful investigation which its importance demands, and the Mayor, through the Department of Taxes and Assessments and su such other means as the city authorities may see fit to employ, has made a thorough and impartial study of the subject of taxation upon and buildings." landler the bill meeting, the Mayor he asserted would that if the were passed, not veto it, as he would not want to take the position of denying the citizens the right to take action themselves. During the hearing, Benjemin Marsh of the Society for Lower Rents charged that the Mayor was not living up to his pre-election views on the referendum. This Mayor Mitchel denied, and produced a letter in which he said he would vote for the referendum if the matter ever came up.

He said he would stand by that statement. The Chamber of Commerce, the Citizens Union, the Real Estate Board of New York, the Allied Real Estate Interests and many taxpayers organizations appeared through their representatives in opposition to the bill. besides Among the speakers, Professor Seligman, were former Borough President Cyrus H. Mil'er, Robert E. Dowling.

William J. Schieffelin and Joseph Buttenwelser. The chief disturbance came just as the meeting closed, when several fights were started by especially enthusiastic debaters. Several policemen were called in to separate the fighters and clear out the room, The members of the Estimate, Board had just fled out when this incident occurred. TWO MEN PLEAD GUILTY.

Alexander Feleberg, 27 years old, of Roebuck place, Coney Island, and Max Giantzman of 403 Alabama avenue, were brought before Judge Crain in the Court of General Sessions, Manhattan, for sentence on pleas of guilty. The men were accused of grand larceny in appropriating $600 worth of cloth from Levl Bros. of 120 Wooster street, Manhattan. They were allowed to take a plea of petty larceny and gentence was suspended, wig after the London fashion, but was dresed conservatively, as the President's daughter should be. in a smart suit of blue corduroy trimmed with black lynx.

To the numerous questions fired at her the was most gracious, but absolutely She said that this production of "Sanctuary" contained all of caste, except one; that she was interested in the subject matter of the original and added that she thoroughly enjoyed taking part in amateur theatricals. her costume, she left us all in doubt. But anyway it is to be green and white. And that was all. (Not the costume, but all we found out.) Now, here is where the soup thickens! walked twice around the block and came back determined to find out if there was anything eise to her costume.

Fortunately I knew one of the "birds" with "Eleanor Wilson and knowing the power of 50 cents had no difficulty in getting one of my cards taken to her. Miss Katharine Minahan herself came out to the box office, and if the rest of the cast are as capable in their parts as I am sure she will be in hers, know it will 'be a fine production. Miss Minahan's imitation of bird notes is second to none in the world. 1 thought 1 wa going to get away with it, but my hopes were shattered, and I was only allowed to remain upon the promise that I should make no public comment concerning this rehearsal--and that is why I am running "all around the mulberry bush." There are only six characters in the play who have speaking parts, two women and four men, Mr. Mackay taking an important part himself.

It having been formerly produced, I am not telling a secret or breaking my word in saying that "Sanctuary" carries a strong message to humanity. Man is made to realize his useless cruelty in killing harmless birds for sport, and the title is symbolic of a bird paradise in bird kingdom. Miss Wilson plays the leading role, being an embodiment of all bird spirits. It is to be produced next Tuesday night, February 24, at 9 o'clock, at the Astor. The cast will then include a number of children, who have been trained for minor parts and fairy dances.

At 5:45, when rehearsal was over and Miss Wilson was on her way to the telephone booth, I waylaid her. She would talk only about the play and its production, and subjects pertaining to it. For some time past she has been interested in the preservation of birds and belongs to a society with that purpose in Cornish. She is not a member of the Audubon Society, and when I asked if she would wear a bird of paradise, she exclaimed, "Oh, dear me, no!" I tried to get her opinion on suffrage, but it was hopeless. Mrs.

Wilson did not accompany her daughter to New York. Miss Margaret Wilson is to arrive shortly, as she has an important singing part in the play. And now, I haven't told anything. have STEAMSHIP BREAKS RECORD.
