HILDA. who passed away on Saturday, January 19, 1907. felaborate ta by Mr. Stanley, of New York. and provides for a motor vehicle comof three members appointed by the Governor to serve without 'compensation for a term of five years Registration a fee of $3 for each automobile and each chauffeur and a speed limit of 20 miles on the public highways are the other important provisions The hearing in this measure will probably be one of the most Interesting of the session A substantially similar bill introduced by Mr.

Stanley last year remained in committee. Chauffeurs Must Be Educated if Cuvillier Bill Is Passed. Assemblyman Cuvillie: is the introducer of a bill which, if it becomes a law. will place an annual tax of $25 on each machine and will compel chauffeurs to pay a fee of $5 in addition to the passing of an examination. which shall include speaking, reading and writing in English.

This latter provision would prove an embarrasment to many foreign drivers. The bill provides that the chauffeur's license shall be revoked for two years following his conviction of killing or injuring anyone. Mr. Stevenson, of Delaware, would levy a tax of $2.50 on each seat of an mobile, according to a bill introduced by him. The proceeds would be devoted to the maintainence of improved highways, and the general impression is that those interested in highway improvement are A in sympathy with the Stevenson measure.

Automobile bills that have attracted less attention include those of: Mr. Northup, providing for a maximum speed of fifteen miles an hour on public highways; Mr. Hamn, permitting unincorporated districts to regulate the speed of automobiles; Mr. Robinson, making it a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment. not exceeding one year.

for the failure of a driver or owner to stop and give his name and address following a collision or accident resulting in injury 10 any person; Mr. Apgar and Mr. Weber, bills providing for the registration of automobiles with the Secretary of State by non-residents, this being a retaliatory measure. Senator Wemple, of Schenectady, has a purely local bill, which would permit Saratoga Lake Bridge Company to charge a toll of 25 cents for all machines. Arguments for and against all these bills will be heard when the hearings are designated by the respective committees.

Attorney General's Deficiency Bill Passed Senate. The Senate to-day passed the bill 1 approprieting $83,000 to meet the deficiency the Attorney General's department. As it increases by $7.000 the appropriation made in the original bill. it must return to the Assembly for concurrence. DEFENDS BOARD OF EDUCATION Officer Says It Acted Within Its Powers and According to Civil Service Rules.

Neither the members nor offcers of the Board of Education intend to lie under the charge brought against them by Controller Metz, as published in last Monday's Eagle. One of the officers said to 3 reporter to-day: "That the statement made by the Controller on Monday, January 28, that the Board of Education had been resorting to evasion and I subterfuge in paying such salaries as $1,199.99, are without any foundation, is shown by reference to the rules of the Municipal Civil Service Commission. Rule XV, paragraph 3, reads as follows: "'A position in any of the aforesaid parts (comprising the competitive class) the compensation of which is not identical with that specified in the classification for any grade of such part shall, for purposes of promotion, be deemed as of the grade the compensation of which is specified as next lower than the compensation "The salaries specified for the grades established by the Civil Service Commission in the clerical service are: $300, $480, $540, $600, $750, $900, $1,050, $1,200, $1,800, $2,100, $2,400, $2,700. $3,000 and sundry letters addressed by the Civil Service Commission to the Board of Education show that the amounts named are minimum salaries, and that in accordance with the rule above quoted the employees of the board might be paid the amounts to which the controller objects. "The Board of Education accordingly, on January 24, 1906, took action in reference to the salaries of a number of employees, which had been increased to take effect January 1, 1906, and who were required by the civil service rules to take a promotion examination, which would not be held earlier than the month of May, and adopted a resolution which stated: the auditor of the Board of Education be, and he is hereby, authorized to prepare payrolls in the cases of all employees whose salaries have been or may be increased and who are required to take a Civil Service Commission for promotion, for such amounts within the increased rates of salary as may be permitted by the rules and practice of said "It is thus apparent that the Board of Education, so far from resorting to evasion and subterfuge as alleged by the controller, was acting within its rights and in strict accordance with the rules of the Civil Service Commission in paying such salaries as $1,049.99, $1,499.99, and for the past year payrolls containing such salaries have been certified from month to month by the Civil Service Commission." FRENCH CABINET SURPRISED.

Bishops' Proposition to Lease the Churches Causes Confusion. Paris, January 30-The French Cabinet has hardly recovered from its surprise at the proposition which the bishops, with the approval of the Pope, submitted to the government for a modus vivendi on the basis of a virtual lease of the churches in perpetuity Lo the parish priests by the mayors, and apparently some confusion exists as to what course to adopt. While the off -hand remarks of Minister of Education Briand in the Chamber of Deputies last night, during the course of which he said that the conditions proposed in behalf of the Episcopate were unacceptable, do not necessarily exclude the possibility of a compromise, the attitude of the Extreme Radicals, who are Incensed at the peremptory tone of the communtention and at the dispatches from Rome, representing the Vatlean as being determined, unless the bishops' propositon immediately and unanimously cepted, 10 order the parish priests 10 leave their churches and suspend public worship, greatly embarrasses the Moderates. The latter believe that the goverament, having accomplished the separation of church and state, can afford to accept any definite solution of the dtfculties in the interest of peace, Commenting on the situation, the Eclair to-day says: "The moment for reflection has arrived. The Vatican offers a soluItion compatible with lie dignity and duty.

The indispensability of serious negotiations is demonstrated by the vain and wicked quarrels which are Jeopardizling the national unity." HIGGINS ABOUT THE SAME. Olean, N. January 30--While Former Governor Higgins spent a rather, uncomfortable evening he has rested more comfortable since, under the Influence of opiates and this morning in about the same condition as during the past four or Ave days. When Dr. Hibbard WAR seen at 9:30 this morning he said former Governor Higgins had passed an uncomfortable night, but that he was easier this morning: otherwise his condition was about the same.

ALMANAC EVER USEFUL. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The Eagle Almanac is ever useful. ROBT. P. NEWMAN.

Brooklyn, January GILCHRIST EXPLAINS TO ALL BROWNSVILLE Senator, Proud to Have Friends There, Resents Misrepresentation: HE WAS ANNOYED AT DINNER. Angered at Woodruff, but Dces Not Now Think Any Offense Was Intended -The Answer. The ire of the Brownsville people has been soothed, and they are once again on terms of friendship with Senator Gilchrist, their representative in the onyx chamber at Albany. At. a recent dinner at the Union League Club, in honor of the Congressmen-elect, and Senators-elect.

it is alleged 1 that when Senator Gilchrist was called upon to speak he was dubbed by some one in the gallery "'The Brownsville Senator." A local paper which published a report of the dinner stated that Senator Gilchrist felt highly. insulted when be was so pointed out, and stated emphatically that he was not the Brownsville Senator. When the incident became known in Brownsville, some of Brownsville's leading citizens took umbrage at Gilchrist's alleged action at the dinner, in view of the fact that Brownsville contributed largely to his election. The controversy has been brought to an end now by a letter sent to George Tonkonogy, president of the Board of Trade, in which he presents the true facts in the case. Following is the correspondence between Senator Gilchrist and the Brownsville Board of Trade: "January 21, 1907.

"Brownsville Board of Trade, Brooklyn: "Gentlemen--I intended at first not to dignify with a reply. the misstatements: of fact concerning me. which appeared in several Brooklyn papers week. for the reason that from a long. intimate and pleasant acquaintance with the peopie of Brownsville (and I live 011 the outskirts of Brownsville myself) I know they would require more than a newspaper canard to co condemn me.

Lest howover my silence may be misinterpreted, and as I believe you are interested in the matter. I wish nof to state that I was never introduced as the Brownsville Senator. although in fact from the section of my district known as Brownsville, came a solid delegation seeking my nomination for Senator and I might well have been so. spoken of. This was also true last year when the united Brownsvillle districts urged my nomination for justice of the Municipal Court.

There should not be nor has there in fact ever been anything but the best feeling on my part for the people of that section for they have always been my friends. The truth is. as those living in Brownsville who attended the diner will testify, one of them in expression of the esteem in which they held me requested from the gallery that be called upon to speak and in the spirit of pleasantry referred to my brother, Senator as "the milk botole This sally was generally misunderstood for: most of the audience forgot that the Senator referred to had just dubbed himself the "baby "The toastmaster might have given the writer an opportunity 10 explain away the misunderstanding, but instead of doing so said that the Brownsville district had been sufficiently represented from the gallery. This under the circumstances of the case seemed discourteous to me and insulting to the district, for although the speaker from the gallery meant no harm his. remarks were misunderstood and the district was not placed right before the Republicans of the county.

Then it was I left the banquet to which had been invited as a guest and, as believed, not fairly treated as one. A few moments thereafter the speaking was concluded and Mr. Woodruff approached me and asked me what was the matter. I explained to him that 1 was offended at the manner io which he referred to my district, that my district was not represented from the gallery, and that I considered his treatment an insult. "In the course.

of my talk I stated that the people of Brownsville, had always respected me, had been my, friends, and should not. be belittled. He replied that he meant no insult. 1 feel now, after a subsequent talk had with him that night, that his remark was not intended to offend any one, and I had misunderstood him. "I shall continue to represent my constituents aggressively, confident in the belief that I shall be judged by my acts and not by the construction put upon them by irresponsible, reporters and newspapers, which, without investigating the matter, are willing to copy as their own what such reporters write.

"Yours truly, "ALFRED J. GILCHRIST." "January 26, 1907. "Hon Alfred J. Gilchrist, State Senator, Tenth District, Senate Chamber, A1- bany, N. "My dear Senator-In acknowledging the receipt of your communication dated January 22, 1907.

I believe I voice the sentiments only of the Brownsville Board of Trade, but of the people of Brownsville, when I say that such an explanation as you have seen fit to make regarding the little Incident, which 00- curred at a recent dinner in the Union League Club is, absolutely and entirely unnecessary, and might be considered a reflection upon our good judgment if brought to 0111 attention by any other person than yourself. Ag you are undoubtedly aware, the people of Brownsville do not generally accept the first eirculated story as authentie: to the trary, I believe you know that they are thorough in their efforts to get at the truth, and may be depended upon, therefore. to judge impartially. "Our board of trade will meet on Thursday, February 21, on the occasion of its annual dinner, to which I extend to you a cordial invitation. "With kind regards and best wishes for your future welfare, believe me, "Sincerely yours.

Mooney, of 953 Greene avenue. summoned to the Gates avenue court. yesterday by his wife, Annie E. Mooney, who accused him of planning to desert her, and who, turn, said his wife was insane, was discharged to-day by Magistrate Voorhees. The investigation by the woman probation officer, Mrs.

Ida Tietjen, revealed the facts that the difficulties of the couple are mainly the result of Mrs. Mooney's jealousy. The couple was advised to cease their differences, and Mr. Mooney promised the he would not again refer to. his wife as mentally unbalanced or be otherwise unkind in his remarks concerning her.

A similar case was also dismissed by Magistrate Voorhees when Harry Wansker. a "ladies' tailor." of 234 Halsey street. had his wife Rebecca summoned to answer the charze that she had pawned some his customers' clothes. The Wankers have been much in the Gates avenue court of late, Mrs. Wansker having recently brought abandonment proceedings against her husband before Magistrate -Furlong.

These proceedings were also dismissed Mrs. Wansker denied. that she had pawned any property belonging to others and reiterated her former statements as to her husband's treatment of her and his alleged relations with a woman who occupies part of the house with them. VACATING THE ALBEMARLE. Noted Manhattan Hotel Is Being Cleared of Tenants as Outcome of Landlord-Lessee Quarrel.

Several moving vans drove main entrance of the Hotel Albemarle, 1 West Twenty-fourth street, morning. and husky fellows began to move out the belongings of people who had lived in the famous hostlery for many years. A crack twenty feet long, has appeared in the wall facing Twenty-fifth, street, where the big excavation for the new Broadway extension of the Hotel Hoffman abuts on the property. A. W.

Hall, the agent for the Hotel Albemarle property, which is owned by Francis S. Kinney, of 135 Broadway, clared this morning that there was no question involved as to the safety of the building, but that it was being vacated under dispossess notice granted yesterday by Civil Justice Joseph in the Sixth District Court. Mr. Hall stated that the proprietor of the Albemarle, 0. B.

Libbey, who had been in charge of the hotel for the past eleven years, had refused to pay rent for any further period, on the ground that the construction of the new portions of the Hoffman House had militated against his further profitable conduct of the famous house. He declared. said Mr. Hall, that the construetion of the new Hoffman House had injured his business in the annoyance of so his guests that he could no longer pay rent for the property. Justice Joseph, said Mr.

Hall, refused entertain this view of -the matter and granted the disposess Mr. Hall further stated that the owner. Mr. Kinney, would at once proceed to renovate the Albemarle completely and put it under new management. HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY.

This applies not only to arrears on real estate but also to unpaid taxes on franchises and conporate rigbts. The purchaser at a tax sale buys subject to owner's power of redemption, with heavy interest charges in a year, under the system that prevailed in Brooklyn prior to consolidation. of course these stringent rules do not apply to taxes or assessments payable between 1898 and 1904 and still due.

The books for sixteen years have been completed, but the threat of a sale brought so many property owners to. time that it was found necessary to send books back for revision. When all the necessary preliminaries have been attended to the Controller will order a sale, giving thirty days public notice. A published statement that the B. R.

T. had not paid its franchise taxes is not true. Colonel Williams of the company said to-day that all taxes due by the B. R. T.

or its subsidiary companies have been paid except items which are being litigated in court. SISTERS WED AT GOOD GROUND The Misses Squires the Brides of Mr. Goodale and Mr. Sanford. (Special to the Eagle.) Good Ground, L.
