L. WARD BRIGHAM RESIGNS PASTORATE Popular Pastor of All Souls Universalist Church to Retire. LETTER OF RESIGNATION READ Farewell Sermon Will Be Delivered Next Sunday Morning, When Great Audience Is Expected. From the pulpit of All Souls Universalist Church, at Ocean and Ditmas avenues, yesterday morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr.

L. Ward Brigham, announced his resignation, to take effect on the first cf next month. The formal letter of resignation was read to the congregation by William D. Faris, the president of the Board of Trustees. A special meeting of the parish has been called for Wednesday evening to take action' on the resignation.

It will undoubtedly be accepted. next Saturday a reception will be tendered to Dr. and Mrs. Brigham. Dr.

churches in other parts of the country. lie has not yet come to a decision as to which one he will accept. It is nearly twelve years since Dr. Prigham came to Brooklyn to become the minister of All Souls, then located on South Ninth street, in the Eastern District. At that time, his parishioners remember he made the remark that ten or twelve years was a long enough period for a clergyman ever to remain in one pastorate.

It is now believed that this statement was in reality a prophecy of Dr. Brigham's action of yesterday and contained the real underlying reason for his resignation. Dr. Brigham's letter of resignation was written on May 12 last, just before the annual business meeting of the parish, at which he had planned to present it. He was at that time, however, persuaded by dose friends to change his plans, and it was thus witnheld until the present time.

The complete letter. as read by Mr. Paris yesterday morning. is as follows: "We are about to enter upon the twelfth annual business meeting of our parish. This is a long pastorate, and the time has been eventful in the history of the church.

"I came to All Souls at a time when one of our ablest preachers despaired of her continuance. Together we have placed our church in a new and distant community, and the a transition is safely passed. Together we have gathered a new congregation and organized it into a modern city church, with all departmonts efficiently at work, making religion a personal and social power. Together we have created a model church plant. whose well -nigh perlect equipment spells efficiency in all we wish to undertake.

"And this last year has not been least. Through the devotion of our people we close the year with all expenses paid. Through the generosity of Mr. T. W.

Weeks, our mortgage is reduced to $8,000. Seven thousand of this is met by pledged subscriptions, leaving a bare $1,000 of debt unprovided for. "During all these years I have borne my share of the burden and the care most willingly, and I have rejoiced most keenly at every success. In view of this long and. within the measure of my powers.

may I say, faithful service. and in view of the problems remaining and in the new ones which will arise, I ask to be relieved from the present pastoral relation. I do this with no lack of consciousness of the friendships and companionships I am leaving, but holding. as have always tried to do, my duty to my faith and my church above my personal comfort and satisfaction, therefore. ask your acceptance of this, my official resignation as your pastor: the in same to take effect at such time as will cf best conserve the interests of the church that we all so dearly love.

"Yours, with deep affection and abiding well wishes, L. WARD BRIGHAM." Dr. Brigham will preach his farewell sermon next Sunday morning. and in view of his unusual popularity during In his long pastorate. it is expected that a the church will be crowded to the doors.

According to his present plans, the pastor will leave Brooklyn within a day or two after his last sermon to attend the General Convention of the Universalist Church. He will then proceed directly she his new pastorate, which will bave been decided upon by that time. The loss of Dr. Brigham will not only keenly felt by his own parishioners, whom he led in building up one of the etrong churches of the borough, but by and ago the entire community, because of the by large interest he always took in matters concerning. the welfare of all Brooklyn.

The plans for the beautiful set of memorial windows which grace the church were originated by Brigham before the church moved ago from the Eastern District. the Among the notable events held at All her: Souls' under Dr. Brigham's guidance, the Dutch Festival of 1908 stands out unique. was the first celebration in the greater a of the original settlement here at Dutch.

Another Issue Will Be the Abolishing of "Three Commissioner" System. Of the four amendments State Constitution to be submitted to the voters for consideration in November, one of most important is that providing for increase of two in the number of county judges in Kings County, and providing that the Legislature may increase number of county judges in any county not to exceed a total of one judge every 200,000 population thereof.

This is known as Amendment No. and it is to amend Section 14, Article ot the Constitution. It provides that there shall be four instead of two county judges in Kings County, and that the additional judges shall be selected at the election held in the first odd numbered year after the adoption of the amendment. It also provides that the successors to the existing judges shall be chosen for a term of six years, the term to begin on the first of January following election. The amendment to increase the number of county judges in Kings County has been proposed before and submitted the voters for approval.

In Greater New York the proposed amendment was carried by a big majority, but the upState voters defeated it, the political leaders of all parties outside the city using their influence against it. It is expected that in this election the same lines will be drawn, for the same reasons exist now as existed then for each holding as it did. In the County Court now and for many years past, there have been four parts working, three of the courtrooms taking up criminal cases and one courtroom taking civil cases. Only two county judges have been allowed to Kings County, ho however, by the Legislature, and to take charge of the two courtrooms they are not presiding over it is necessary to have two judges from other counties sitting here stantly. The other three amendments as proposed are: No.

1. To abolish in New York City the notorious "three commissioner" system condemning private property and the substitution of a simpler, quicker and less expensive method, and also granting all cities in the State a limited power excess or additional condemnation. No. 2. To remove any and all constitutional limitation from the Legislature restraining it from enacting laws for the protection of the lives, safety or health employes, and for the payment compensation for injuries to or death of enployes resulting from such injuries, and the adjustment of injuries arising under such legislation No.

4-To amend Section Seven of Article Seven in the Constitution, the use by the State of not exceeding providing per centum of the forest preserve lands the construction and maintenance of State-controlled reservoirs for municipal water supply, for the canal; of the State, for the regulation of the flow of streams, imposing regulations for the apportionment between property and municipalities benefited of the expense. In a pamphlet urging the abolition of "three commissioners" method of condemning property the City Club of New York points to the scandalously long delays and the great interest charges "olled up against the city under preslaw. The long delay before the propowner receives his money and the irresponsibility of the law is also referred to. "The proposed direct court method would be directly responsible and economwould do in weeks what now requires years, save- interest to the city and secure property owners their money in a much shorter time." is the way the case favor of the amendment is summed up "The grant of the proposed power of excess condemnation would decrease the of public improvements by eliminating 'consequential damages' and decrease the cost by the re-sale of surplus promptly consolidate unusable property into usable shape; secure full taxable value of such property; control character of buildings abutting new parks, public places and streets, and into the treasury of the whole city the increased value produced by city."

Hugh J. O'Donnelly Lost Four Holes When He Saw Pretty Girl. When Hugh J. Donnelly of the Brooklyn- Forest Park Golg Club, winner of The Eagle trophy competition Forest Park in 1910, plays in another match, it's dollars to dimes that he will see to it that none of his beautiful girl friends finds her way into the gallery. The presence of one of his fair acquaintances nearly lost him his match with Ahthur G.

M. Staveley yesterday in the thirtysix hole final for the 1913 championship of the Brooklyn-Forest Park Golf Club. It happened this way: On the eleventh hole, or the third on the Jamaica avenue side, Donnelly was 4 up with 8 to play, and his friends were already celebrat ng the victory. Suddenly his eyes, sweeping the gallery, saw the lovely features of one of his feminine acquaintances, who, without his knowledge, had Joined the ranks of the spectators. This eleventh hole is caled the easy, being a 187-yard down-hill iron shot from the tee.

Donnelly could not keep his eyes on the ball after that, ans lost the hole and three after it, and founl himself "all even" with Staveley with three holes to play. The young woman had a most bewitching way of standing near the line of Donnelly's play, and as she wore one of the most bewitching fall creations in the way of ahat, Donnelly simply could not hole his putts. At last he begged her, if she had any regard for him, to keep herself out of the line of his putts. Thereupon she fell back to the far edge of the crowd. Then Donnelly regained his grip on the situation.

and after halving the lone tree hole in 3, he WO nthe seventeenth in 3, and on the deciding hole he ran down a 30-foot putt for a winning, thus taking the match by 2 up.

Ferrell and Feely, Eastern District Fish Dealers, Latest Victims of Gang. A gang of veggs, believed by the police to be the same one that has made lucrative hauls in several big shoe establishments of this borough, some time during the night or early this morning ripped open the safe of Ferrell Feely, fish and meat dealers, at 176-180 Bedford avenue, and carried off between $700 and $800.

The safe, which is five feet high and about three and a half feet square, was handled as if it were made of cardboard. In a large kit of tools which were left behind there were no crowbars, which leads the police to believe that there must have been at least four engaged in the robbery who worked inside of the building. The safe was concealed in a closet in the rear of the cashier's box. No one save somebody familiar with the place knew where it was. The market is at the corner of North Seventh street, and the robbers entered the building by ripping off the lock of the cellar doors on the North Seventh street side.

A plank was stretched across two barrels found in the cellar and two parallel lines of holes were bored in the floor directly behind the cashier's box until the floor boards of the store dropped out, leaving an opening large enougn for the robbers to go through one at a time. The yeggs evidently had their work well planned, for chalk marks were found underneath the floor, indicating that they had carefully measured off the place where they could come through behind the safe. The big safe by the Arm to be both burglar-proof 'and Areproof, was then hauled from its hiding place in the closet and overturned in the cashier's box. The thieves could then proceed with their work without the slightest chance of being seen from the street. The shades in the windows were drawn, as is the custom every Sunday.

The yeggs with a steel drill bored a hole at the top of the door about fiveeighths of an inch in diameter. With jimmies they then ripped the door to pleces. The strong box, which contained the loot in gold, silver and bills, was easily opened. The thieves also took about $50 in checks. The robbery was not discovered until early this morning when Edward P.

Haight, a clerk who has been in the employ of the firm for seventeen years and lives next door, opened the place. The robbers left behind seven steel drills, two braces and bits, a sectional jimmy, two hooks, a wrench and some small tools. The manner in which the job was ried out shows that the robbers were experts in their line and there is every reason to believe that it is the same gang who have been cracking safes in the shoe stores on upper Broadway.

Butts of Manhattan died yesterday at. Westbrook, where he had a country home. He had been on the bench since 1907, when he was appointed for the full tenyear term by Mayor McClellan.

TO FIX PLOT PRICES FOR CEMETERY ROAD City Will Compromise on Fair Price for Transfer of Graves. COST FIGURED AT $10,000. City's Realty Expert May Close Deal With Trustees on Wednesday. C. A.

to late resi- 1913, Rel- 1286 15, Our and year. Charles O'Malley, the real estate expert of the Finance Department, who has been the city's representative in the Cypress Hills Cemetery road negotiations, declared today that while the city might be willing to compromise on the expense of removing the bodies interred within the line of the road he would not submit to any manifest attempt on the part of cemetery trustees to exact an excesgive price for its plots to which the bodleg would be transferred. The trustees claim that the sixty or 50 plots containing bodies. which would be taken for the road, are now in a relatively cheap portion of their grounds. The owners of these plots would have to be consulted, they claim, and allowed to pick an alternative plot in some other portion of the grounds and probably insist on a location equally as good or better.

Some of the 20x20 cemetery plots, declared President Greene of the cemetery the other day, are now selling for as high as $1,000 and $1,200. Were plots like this selected, for instance, the cost of removal, for the land alone, calculating the difference between the price the city paid the cemetery for the land taken for the road and the price for these plots, would be $50,000 or $75,000. This 1s an extreme case but it shows how tho cemetery officials, if they felt so inclined, might attempt to reap a tidy profit from the city on this item alone. Such an attempt might lead the city, if it undertook to deal with the plot owners, it was pointed out today, to secure alternate locations in other cemeteries outside of Cypress Hills. Reasonably-priced burial plots could easily be obtained in neighboring cemeteries, especially when bought in such a number.

President Greene will probably take this matter up with Mr. O'Malley on Wednesday. By that time he expects to have available all the data, as to number of plots affected, number of bodies interred in them, their owners and values, which his superintendent, Mr. Leaper, was directed to prepare. Mr.

O'Malley declared today that the city engineers found it impossible to avoid these graves in Cypress Hills Cemetery. Were they able to swing the road 150 feet further to the north they could do so but they have found that such a change would create conditions equally bad or worse in Mount Carmel Cemetery. Were the removals adjusted on tho same basis as to the present value of the plots where the bodies to be removed now lie, the cost would not be over 000 it is estimated.
