'IB SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. OBITUARY. BUI IS THE FIRST MARRIAGES and DEATHS QUEENS TROLLEY LINES IN CENTENNIAL PARADE Shoe STB TO Underground Extension Planned Connecting With Brighton Beach System. PROPOSITION NOW FEASIBLE. Stated That tinder Present Law Both P.

S. Commission and Interborough. Company May Push Plan. Now that the Brooklyn subway Is prac tically completed and in successful opera tion to Atlantic avenue, a plan Is being matured to force it on to the Willink entrance of Prospect Park, a distance of nearly two miles. On the hypothesis of such an extension, a traffic arrangement is to be made with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for a physical connection with the four-track Brighton Beach line that will permit the Interborough subway trains to operate the entire distance to Coney Island.

It is understood that the Interborough Company is disposed to encourage the proposition and that the Public Service Commission is giving serious consideration to such a plan. The present proposition takes up the question of this extension practically where it was when it was shelved by Park Commissioner Kennedy by the refusal of that functionary to allow certain trees in the park to be removed to effect a right of way for the subway. Then the Els-berg law came in and tied up all subway building by private capital. While there remained three ways by which this subway extension could have been built under the Elsberg law, not one of them Insured anything but a financial loss to any corporation that should construct and operate the extension. One of these ways would have permitted private parties to build not an extension to the present Brooklyn subway, but a new subway from Atlantic avenue to the Willink entrance and operate it as an independent shuttle line, charging a full fare.

Since the way traffic along this line would have been small and through passengers would not pay the extra fares nor bother with transferring the plan would have been a failure from the start. The second way would have permitted Mr. Belmont or the Interborough Rapid Transit Company to construct the exten sion with private capital and operate the same as an extension to the present sub way, with the understanding that at the end of a period of twenty-five years the franchise would have to be surrendered and the ownership of the subway ex tension would revert to the city. The third Dlan would have permitted the Interborough Rapid Transit Company to construct the extension with city money and operate the same on a twenty year franchise (with a possible renewal for twenty years more) on the payment of 4 per cent, interest on the investment plus 1 per cent, sinking fund and all operating expenses. As has been demonstrated, this plan would not give the operating company a chance to recover itself within the prescribed period, and so result In a loss.

The rapid transit bills which recently passed the Legislature and now need only the Governor's signature to become law, make such provisions as will enable the Interborough Rapid Transit Company to construct the Flatbusb avenue subway extension on the basis of its original franchise. Indeed, it is understood a section of the law was so framed as toi meet this specific proposition, and since there is a popular demand for this subway extension, and it is believed that both the railroad company and the Public Service Commission regard it with favor, it Is not improbable that the construction of this extension will be among the very first of the new operations in subway bulletins. It is even hinted that it might take precedence over the Fourth avenue line on the ground that private capital acts promptly and that the contracts for the South Brooklyn sections may be held up for certification of the Controller. With regard to traffic arrangement between the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for the operation by the former company of the Brighton Beach four-track system to Coney Island, it is said that this agreement is wholly within the power of the Public Service Commission to enforce and that an assurance of such an arrangement will be made a condition for the cnostruction of the suvway extension to the Brighton Beach line. It is stated on good authority, however, that a traffic arrangement to the joint operation of the Brighton Beach line will only be temporary: that is, that such operation may continue only until that four-track system shall become occupied to its fullest capacity and the contiguous area is well built up and occupied by a population that will insure sufficient local traffic to warrant the further extension of the subway all the way to Coney Island.

TEST CASE ON HIGH CHECKING. A test "case on the legality of high checking of horses is being made by the New York Humane Society against Henry Harpst, 28 years old. of 462 Berry street. Brooklyn. Harpst was arrested yesterday on Broadway, Manhattan, while driving a horse that, it is alleged, had a sore mouth from too tight a check rein.

Magistrate Stcinert, in the Jefferson Market Court, held Harpst in $200 batl for examination next Tuesday. DEGRAW ST. CAVES IN AGAIN. Degraw street has caved in again just west of Columbia street, a big hole appearing in the middle of the street. This is no doubt due to the breaking ol the city sewer that runs right over the flushing sewers, or tunnel, just as previous ones occurred near Hicks street and at Smith street.

A pump was installed at the nearest manhole to keep the water down. DIED. TERHUNE Thursday, April 1908, at the residence of his sister. 607 Madison st. JAMES J.

TO PROFIT BY NEW Li Supt. Williams Has His Liquidator at Work; No Receivership Now. SYSTEM A GAIN IN ECONOMY, And Not in Any Way a Bar to Resumption, if That Is the Course to Pursue. (Special to the Eagle.) -Albany, May 2 The Home Bank of Brooklyn closed its doors on February 1, 1908, and the Mechanics and Traders Bank and the Oriental Bank failed on January 30 and 31, 190S. respectively.

Since that time the Home Bank of Brooklyn has remained In the possession ot the Banking Department, under the old law. On the Bigning of the liquidation bill by the governor, the superintendent of banks took possession under the provisions of the new law, appointing G. S. Leonard, an examiner in the department, as special deputy superintendent to liquidate the bank. On the following day Justice Marean, at special term of the Supreme Court in Kings County, granted to the superintendent the right to allow offsets and to sell real and personal property.

An allowance was alBo made of $1,000 for Incidental expenses. The superintendent has given notice to the creditors to present their claims, and liquidation of the assets is proceeding in a satisfactory manner. According to the last published statement the resources and liabilities of the Home Bank of Brooklyn wexe as follows: RESOURCES. Dec. 19, 1M7.

In an honest endeavor to bring about a resumption of business.

No definite time can be set for such resumption, but the indications point to a successful issue." Some question of the constitutionality of the act under which Mr. Leonard was appointed has been propounded, but it is unlikely that any local effort will be made to displace Mr. Leonard. His compensation will be much less than that of court receivers if such were appointed, and while acting as liquidator his salary from the state ceases, to be resumed when he gets through. Attorney General Jackson is quoted as having said that the liquidation bill is unconstitutional.

LABOR EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. Institution on Hilary Street Is Find ing Work for Many Men and Women. Henry M. Garratt, manager of the La bor Employment Bureau at 14 Tillary street, reports that the bureau has proved effective In finding employment for breadwinners. This week's record is: Fifty-four married men given employment; fourteen men temporary employment; twentv women, temporary employment.

The bureau has a corps of deserving men and women who will be sent anywhere in Brooklyn where help Is needed. Care is taken to give first place to married men and women. The list grows, and the manager hopes that the public will call on the bureau for any help needed. Mr. Garratt says that he has many men who are mechanics, who have been glad to wash dishes in restaurants, carry signs, in fact will not shirk any kind of work that is offered them, bo that they can provide food and shelter for their families.

It was expected that with the advance of spring, conditions would greatly improve, but the list of mechanics seek-ink work continues to grow. The manager hopes that friends will help in tho securing of a proper equipment, which will enable the bureau to send out more workers on temporary work. Any money subscribed for this work may bo sent to Henry M. Garratt, 216 Montague street, Brooklyn, and will be acknowledged. Acknowledgment is made by Mr.

Garratt of the receipt of $50 from W. II. Post for the equipment fund. CLUBHOUSE BURNED. Rochester, N.

P.S. COMMISSION APPEALED TO Orercrowding, Overcharge! and Other Shortcomings Pointed Out No Crime Charged. The Queens County Grand Jury, in session in Long Island City, has been Investigating the conditions governing the operation of the trolley lines In the Bor ough of Queens. The grand jurors set forth their conclusions in a long presentment handed up to County Judge Humph rey this morning in the County Court. The presentment gives the number of closed and open cars owned by the New York and Queens County Railway Com pany, and charges that the company does not put In service more than one-fourth of the cars It owns, and that the Inade quate service results In crowding and many other annoyances to the traveling public.

The grand jurors also state in their presentment that they are advised that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit charges an extra fare for a ride from Brooklyn to North Beach, and that tho fare is col lected from passengers for carrying them a distance less than one mile, and is clearly, the jurors say, a violation of law. They direct that the matter, as well as other alleged abuses, be laid before the Public Service Commission. The presentment in part is as follows: "It is the general belief that the oner ation of trolley cars in this county is in violation of the charter obligations of the respective companies, and that by reason of the inadequacy of the service the cars of all the lines are constantly grossly overcrowded during rush hours and on holidays and Sundays during the summer season. 'An investigation of the matter was made from August 1 to 14, 1907, inclusive, from the hour ot 8 In the morning until 8 in the evening. A complete record was kept, showing in detail the number of cars in use on each line in the county.

and the number of passengers. 'A further investigation was made ot the matter and record kept of the cars of the New York and Queens County Railrfvy Company running from Thirty-fourth street ferry on the 13th, 14th, 16th and 17th days of March, 1908. from 4 to 6 P.M. "We find from the evidence that the operation of cars between rush hours provides, in most instances, for the accommodation of passengers without improper crowding, but that they are run at such infrequent intervals as to result in very great delays, annoyance and inconvenience to the traveling public. We recommend to the Public Service Commission for the First District of the State of New York, that the companies operating on main thoroughfares of the county be required to run cars on a shorter headway during non-rush hours, to the end that the public may be per mitted to conduct its business without vexatious and unjustifiable delay.

We further find that on the main lines during non-rush hours the cars are frequently over-crowded. We further find that on nearly every line operated in the county the over-crowding during rush hours, morning and night, is unreasonable and unjust to the public, and a violation of the rights of the public under the law; that the over-crowding extends to the front' and back platforms and the steps of the cars, at a time when large numbers of cars available for that purpose are not in use. "We most respectfully request that the Public Service Commission make such orders relating to the operation of surface cars in this county as may be lawful and necessary to enable the public to transact its business free from annoyance and injury resulting from present conditions. In our opinion, the immediate and radical improvement of transportation facilities along lines above suggested and such others as upon further investigation may be deemed necessary and proper, is of supreme Importance to the prosperity and welfare of the county. "In view of the fact that no person has been charged with crime or personal or official misconduct in this matter, wo recommend that the testimony and all documentary evidence presented to the Grand Jury be filed in the office of the district attorney of the County of Queens as a public record, and that he be authorized by order of the court to deliver the same to the Public Service Commission for the First District of the State of New York for such examination and analysis as to it may seem proper." CAPT.

REYNOLDS UNDAUNTED. Will Carry His Case to Court of Appeals, if Permitted. Believes He Can Defeat the Decision of the Appellate Division Is Not Satisfied. "The law is a peculiar thing," remarked ex-Police Captain James G. Reynolds this morning, as he talked to tho reporters.

The remark wasn't offered by "Captain Jim" in any critical spirit, but merely as a philosophical reflection and to open the way to say further that, if the courts permit it, he will appeal from the decision of the Appellate Division, which was handed down yesterday afternoon, against him. Also it was to show that the ex-police captain wasn't at all discouraged, for there was something in the opinion that gave him an idea that, if the appeal on the main question fails, he can have another legal crack at Police-Commissioner Bingham or his successor. Captain Reynolds had read very carefully the decision of the Appellate Division and then he looked over the eye-classes used to correct his 15 per cent, of defective viBion and mildly said that, in his humble opinion, the Appellate Divi- I ln.4n't tntltltOl) tllA FPfll flllPRtinn all in the case. The law providing for retirement or policemen Bays mav i certificate of the police surgeons shall state the cause, nature and extent of the disability. Justice Maddox decided that the certificate did not comply with the law.

The decision of the Appellate Division holds that the certificate wai all right, so Captain Reynolds will apply for permission, through his attorney, Bernard J. York, to UIIVO IUC tUUI VI npiBia raoo certificate. Then, if that fails, because of the wording or me nnai paragrapn oi in decision, he can apply for a wrtt of certiorari to review the art: of the board of police surgeons and End out whether a disability of 15 per really is enough to permit the retirement of a police officer, whether he wants retirement or not. The decision reads as follows: "Whether the certificate ot unfitness for duty is not helled by the fact stated in the certificate that the failure ot eyesight is only 15 per cannot be passed upon In this proceeding, as the determination of the surgeons cannot be reviewed in it. Whether, as matter of law.

eyesight only 15 per cent, below the normal makes a police ca-tain unfit for duty, i. for the duties of a police captain (for that is the test), uiiilit reauire con sideration." Thomas Henry Bierds.

Sirty thousand Roman Catholic laymen marching In procession to-day brought to a climax and formally ended the week long celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Roman Catholic diocese of New York. The parade had been looked forward to as the crowning public event of the week, and In every way tlon was surpassed. No more perfect day could have favored the event. The sky was almost cloudless, the air clear and bracing. Along Fifth avenue and through Fifty- seventh street.

Manhattan, where the line of march led to the disbanding point, hundreds of thousands of persons were massed and the immense reviewing stand, which had been erected In front of St. Patrick's Cathedral, made a picture the like of which has seldom been seen. It had been built to accommodate 3,500 per song and its whole capacity was placed at the disposal of women and children and the distinguished prelates who have been participating in the observance of the centenary. The prelates, in their gorgeous robes, occupied a space in the center of the stand, and banked around them on every side were the thousands of women and children In their brilliant garments, making up a most striking color Of all the sixty thousand who took part in the parade every man save one was afoot. The mounted man was Brigadier General Thomas Barry, the grand marshal.

Behind him trudged, the thousands. millionaire and laborer alike. In the van was a delegation from the Catholic Club, among them Thomas F. Ryan, Thomas A. Emmet, Justice John W.

Goff, Justice Davis and Justice O'Gorman of the Supreme Court; Bourke Cockran, Eu gene Philbin, John D. Crlmmins, David MeClure and many other men prominent in the city's life. Many of the large stores and other business places conducted by Catholics had declared a half holiday for to-day that their employes might have an op portunity to take part in the parade or to join with the other thousands who crowded the streets to review the marchers. The parade started at Washington Square, well down to the lower end of Manhattan, at 1 P. and moved up Fifth avenue past the cathedral and to Fifty-seventh street, where it was dis persed.

The line of march covered a distance of approximately three miles. The formation of the column was as follows: Platoon of police. Band. Grand Marshal Thomas H. Barry, U.S.A., commanding.

Staff Thomas J. Donohue, chief or staff; Charles G. Treat, assistant chief of staff; John W. Furlong, adjutant gen eral. Aides.

A PERMANENT DUTCH MUSEUM Professor Hooper "Wants the All Souls Show Transferred to the Institute. Professor Franklin W. Hooper visited the Dutch Museum at the old Dutch village of Breukelen at All Souls Church, Flatbush.

to-day, to make arrangements. If possible, to have the museum transferred to the Brooklyn Institute. One of the most attractive features of the festival, which has been running all the week and closes to-night, has been the museum of old Dutch relics contributed by Dutch families in Flatbush. This room has been crowded during the entire week with sightseers, and Professor Hooper has become so much impressed with its Importance as a permanent exhibit from Brooklyn that he will make an effort to get the donors to permit him to transfer the articles to the Institute. The Dutch village, which was designed by Professor Doggett, is attracting so much attention that an effort will be made to have that preserved also and possibly to go with the Dutch museum.
