J-J 62. Asta, uavm VI CEMETERY OFFICIALS RAPPED BY CITIZENS Cypress Hills Corporation Renders No Accounts to City, Says Pres. Adler. REMISS IN OTHER WAYS. Sidewalk in Front of Cemetery Is Badly Needed Other Matters Discussed.

The temper of the residents of the Cypress Hills section Is very near the breaking point with the officials of the Cypress Hills Cemetery on account of the defiant attitude it is claimed they have taken on many matters of public Improvement. The viewpoint of the residents was strikingly presented In the second annual report of President Morris Adler of the Cypress Hills Taxpayers and Citizens Protective Union, read to the members of that organization last night. President Adler charged that the corporation has not rendered an account in years, to the city, of its receipts and expeditnres, as required by law, and he suggests that the matter be placed in the hands of the Commissioners of Accounts or the Corporation Counsel for investigation. "For years," said Mr. Adler, "the Cypress Hills Taxpayers and Citizens Protective Union have appealed to this wealthy corporation to construct a concrete sidewalk for a distance of four blocks lu front of their cemetery.

On several occasions we appealed to the Borough President, but all In vain. This corporation defies the municipal authorities on the ground that cemeteries are exempt from taxation. Tho law docs exempt cemeteries from taxation, but In lieu thereof they must render an account annually of their receipts and expenditures, and all moneys in excess thereof must bo used for external and Internal improvements. I am Informed that this corporation has not rendered an account for many years to the city; their income is largo, they sell family plots for from $500 to $2,000, and still leave tho exterior of their cemetery In a disgraceful condition. I suggest that this matter bo given In charge of the Commissioners of Accounts or Corporation Counsel." Meeting Indorses Mr, Adler's Sentiments.

The meeting, which was largely attended, warmly Indorsed Mr. Adler'B sentiments. The meeting was held at the City Line Brunch Headquarters, Lib erty and Railroad avenues. Many per sons were present, and the crowd con (sistcd of the prosperous business men of the section, for the union has a repu tation lor accomplishing things. In the past year it has succeeded In accomplishing numerous reforms, among-which more street lamps, better lire protection and an increased police force figure prominently.

President Adler read to the assembled member his annual report, which told of the many efforts that the taxpayers have made to better civic conditions. When he had finished tho election of officers proceeded, and Mr. Adler was unanimously re-elected amid great enthusiasm. The names ot the other new officers Hugh L. Bradley, first vice president; J.

Speers, second vice president; George Hofninn, secretary; William Muhlelnsou. financial secretary, and Henry Sultan, treasurer. One feature of the Union Is that under the new bylaws, which were also read, women will be admitted to membership. It is the first organization of its kind to institute such a bylaw. The members believe this will eatabllsh a ln lilii direction complain to the police about this.

President Adler said that eight new policemen have been assigned to the dis Commission to find out what action has been taken in regard to the dangerous railroad crossings. CONEY "COMMUTERS" KICK. They Want Five-Cent Privilege at All Hours on All Says. Members of the Van Slcklen Taxpayers Association, at a meeting held last night at 54G Neptune avenue, decided to call on the B. R.

T. to see If some agreement can be reached ln regard to commutation BIvcn t0 nil-year-round residents nf Cnnev Island.

Watching- Its Removal When Ma chinery Fell on Him. Interest in the difficult feat of moving huge stone-crushing machine yesterday led to the death of Charles J. Meyer, 3S years old, of 153 Eleventh Btreet. A crusher In the yard of the Sterling Machine Company was being dismantled by workmen, and Meyer stood underneath watching them. The king-bolt of the huge cylindrical Iron screen sifter broke and the mass of metal fell directly on his head.

An ambulance was called from the Methodist Episcopal Hospital. Meyer died within ten minutes of his arrival there. NEW TROLLEY LINE APPROVED Flatbush Board of Trade, However, Wants It Made Longer. The proposed trolley line from Vandcr-veer Park, through Rogers avenue, to St. John's place and thence to Borough Hall, came up for a further discussion last night at the meeting of the Flatbush Board of Trade, which met at the Terrace Club, Ocean avenue and Avenue K.

This organization went on record as favoring the project, but added a proviso that the line should extend down to Sheepshcad Bay, or at least to King's Highway. It was pointed out that the line could run to Sheepshead at a minimum of extra expense, and that if it did so, the Flatbush organization would gain great benefit. Walter B. Brown, president of the association, made a speech covering his activities in the Interests of the taxpayers. The N'ostrand avenue subway, which, it seems.

Is in danger of being dropped from public notice if the taxpayers do not keep up their good work, was discussed at length. The board went on record against the proposed new building code, which demands incombustible material on all roofs. A coraniltee of five was appointed to take up the matter. A fair is to be opened in the Terrace Club today and the hammering proved disturbing for the men who were trying to discuss serious matters. LIQUOR DEALERS ACCUSED.

Chare ed With Violations of Tax Law i in Magistrates Court. There were two alleged violations of the liquor tax law in the Gates avenue court yesterday.

Office two giaisea of beer and a half pint of whisky, at 3S L'tlca avenue, during restricted hours.

C. S. COMMISSION UPHELD. Court of Appeals Holds Tax Appraisers Were Legally Transferred. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, October 22 The Court of Appeals yesterday unanimously upheld the action taken by the State Civil Service Commission in April, 1911, transferring from the competitive to the exempt classification the position of transfer tax appraiser in the State Controller's office.

There are twenty-eight of these appointees In various counties in the St.ite, whose salaries range from $1,500 to 54,000 a year. The action was begun by former Assemblyman Charles F. Murphy of Brooklvn, a Republican, who lost his position through the action of the Civil Service Commission. He sued out a writ of maudamus by which he sought to have the Commission's ruling set aside and to secure his reinstatement as a transfer tax appraiser lu Kings County. Mr.

Murphy contended that the commission acted solely at the request of the State Controller and that the change in the classification was made for political purposes. TO SIMPLIFY" COURT WORK.

'PRENDERGAST HITS AT LABOR ENEMIES Denies Violations of 8-Hour Law and Calls Accusers Tammany "Stool Pigeons." OFFERS PROOFS OF ATTITUDE. Makes Public Two letters Indicating His Position While Controller. Controller Prendergast today made public two letters which he sent to prominent men In labor circles, which explain his atitude toward labor and which refute the statements that he has ben a party to violations of the 8-hour law and the payment of the prevaillug rate of wagse to men employed by contractors oa city work.

"These men claiming to represent labor organizations are simply Tammany stool Mr. Prendergast said In suplpementlng the two letters. Mr. Prendergast addresses one of nlB comraunicntions to James J. Nolan, who represents the Typographical Union.

"During the term of my predecessor and my present opponent," says Mr. Prendergast In his letter, "there were filed with this department 87 complaints violation of the labor laws; 20 of these were withdrawn; In 11 cases the record states that no action was necessary, and In so far as the record bhov.a, no action was taken. In the balance of 4" cases the complaints were not sustained. "During my term there hare been filed 74 complaints of violations of the labor law. In all but six cases the papers were submitted to the Corporation Counsel for his advice.

Five of the six cases which were not submitted to the Corporation Counsel were so obviously untenable as not to require any extended attention. The sixth case was a clear violation of the labor law and we so held. "In every case submitted to the Corporation Counsel, where the Controller decided that there was no violation of the Inbor law, the Corporation Counsel advised that the decision was supported by the proof." Mr. Prendergast incloses a letter regarding an alleged violation of the labor law in the employment of musicians for Hib Washington Birthday parade in i Brooklvn. This is addressed to Frank Evans," secretary of the Musical Mutual Protective Union.

Mr. Prendergast's letter is in answer to resolutions adopted by the union last February. "The resolution transmitted stated in effect," says the Controller In his letter, "that the Kings County Voluuteer Firemen's Association of Brooklyn have refused to hire union musicians at the prevailing rate of wages, as required by Section 3 of the labor law. for the annual parade in Brooklyn on Washington's Birthday, although the City of New York, pursuant to statute, contributes money to said organization." Mr. Prendergast then nays in his letter to Mr.

Evans; "It would aear that the members of your organization are neither workmen, laborers nor mechanics, and further, that the musicians emloyed by the Volunteer Firemen's Association were not emloyed uou any ublic work, as described in the labor law, so that technically there could not be an violation of such law In the manner to which my attention was called. "Believing, however, in the spirit a9 v.el an the letter of the law. I requested the various officials of the Kings County Volunteer Firemen's Association to call upon me February 20, which they did. I notified them at that time of my view thHt it was the spirit of the laws of this Stale, if not the leter, that public moneys should only be paid, directly or Indirectly, lo persons receiving the prevailing rate of wages. 1 was then informed by the gentlemen to whom I was talking, that the prevailing rate of compensation for musicians in the Berough of Brooklyn was to be paid those engaged for the parade of the Kings County Volunteer Firemen's Association on Washington's Birthday.

This statement was corroborated by Mr. John B. Tucker, president of the Brooklyn Federated Musicians, who accompanied the representatives of the Kings County Volunteer Firemen's Association. "I am grateful for your suggestion which led me to make the inquiry which I did. as 1 am for all suggestions which lead to a better enforcement of the law." DEPT.

Q1 of WASTES CITY FUNDS Declares Administration Re-paved Seventy-second St. for a Club. PUT DOWN IMPORTED SLAG. Perfectly Good Pavement Hipped Up and Some Contracts Violated, Says Democratic Candidate. Charging that Borough Prealdent Pounds had paved Seventy-second street at the request of his personal friends and afterward had told the members of the club on that street that he had done It to make a beautiful approach to the Frank Mann, Democratic candidate tor Borough President, gave out a statement today, based upon speeches ha delivered in several Democratic clubhouses last night, fiercely attacking the present borough administration as extravagant and wasteful.

"In Eeventy-second street," declared Maun, "the borough administration tore up a macadamised street In perfect condition, good for another ten years, and put down English imported slag pavement, evidently to gratify Mr. Pounds' personal friends who maintain a clubhouse in that street. At a public dinner at this clubhouse given to the then Public Works Commissioner, Mr. Pounds expressed himself to the effect that he gave them this street because ho wanted to beautify the approach to the clubhouse and to give them a more asthetlc environment. He talked aa if it had come out of his private purse instead of the tax-pavers' money." Mann further charged that the present administration had wasted to JMO.OOh In fallina- to insist uuon the car rying out of the contract to dump the surnlus dirt from the Fourth avenue sub way on the Shore Drive park lands and Instead bad permitted it to be dumped on the Tighth Ward park lands where it waB not needed.

He declared that the Borough administration bad broken the contract made with a previous firm of 'ur uew n.

"Clean-up" Sam McElroy, the new police captain in the Orand avenue station, raided another alleged gambling house yesterday afternoon, and although he made no arrests secured evidence, which will enable him to serve a liability notice on the residents of 80 Sterling place, and which will warrant his keeping an officer at the premses for somctme. Race charts, two desk telephone systems, an exrta head recever, some condensers and a large blackboard with chalk were seized. The captain had procured a warrant for a certain "Captain Doe," who runs the place, from Chief Magistrate Ivempner, and yesterday afternoon set out with Inspector Cohen of tho Eleventh DiBlrict, Sergeant Hollenback of his own precinct and two patrolmen from Cohen's staff to serve the warrant. The house, In a residental section. Is near Bedfor davenue.

The officers walked up the steps In plain clothes and rang the bell, but there was no answer, and they knocked on the door, but still thcro was no response. Then Captain McElroy smashed the front window and the policemen climbed in. Inside they found evidences of a very receut gathering. Still Binoklng cigar butts were found lying about. On tne charts and blackboard, which were later seized were entries of different races.

The officers searched the house thor oughly, but did not find anyone there, nor could they find out how the people, evidently, recently 1 nthe house, had escaped. The captain is sure, however, tha tthrough.some channel the men were tipper off about his coming and got away at his first ring of the bell. This Is Captain McElroy's third raid less than a month. First the Panther Athletic Club was put out of the gambling business, then a large club at 120i Atlantic avenue was raided and 44 members fined $10. There are three alleged gambling houses left in the Grand avenue ngaist which evidence is being sought.
