REVIEW. Home-coming of' First Cavalrymen to Be Occasion for Big Demonstration in Brooklyn. Further plans to give the Brooklyn troopers of the First Cavalry the fin et kind of a reception upon their ar rival noma from hii- hnwier service. were mado Yesterday at a meeting of the veterans of the organization and members of the Cavalry Club. The meeting was at the newly completed Cavalry Clubhouse which has been completely in anticipation of the return of the troopers, and which was informally orened last night for the first time.

Two hundred of the First Cavalry veterans and Cavalry Club members were present at the meeting and entered enthusias tically into the plans for receiving the returning troopers. The veterans and members of the Cavalry Club, it was decided, will keep In touch with the movement of the returning troopers through The Eagle, and as soon as the hour of arrival becomes definitely known, will let each other know by means of an endless system. Each one will telephone five others, and they in turn will do likewise so that all will be notified within a very short time. Twenty-five of the veterans or club members at the meeting last night volunteered the use of their automobiles to carry those who wish to meet the troopers at the terminal to the railroad yards, and at least a hundred of the "vets" and other friends of the organization, will greet the troopers there in a body. Colonel George Albert Wingate, commanding the Second Field Artillery, it was announced, and Major Wright, commanding Squadron A of Manhattan, had consented to let the cavalrymen have such horses as they will need In addition to those they are bringing with them, In order that every man may be mounted and may take part in the parade; The extra horses will be brought to the railroad yards by members of the depot battalion of the First Cavalry.

immediately upon their arrival the troopers will'saddle up, and form their parade. They will march over the Manhattan Bridge and the route In Brooklyn will be through the Flatbush avenue extension to Fulton street, turning Into Lafayette avenue, past the reviewing stand at the University Club, then Into Bedford avenue and along Bedford to the armory. Governor to Take Review at University Club. Governor Whitman, Borough President Pounds, General Leonard Wood, U. S.

A.J Major General John F. O'Ryan, and other army and public officers will review the troopers at the University Club, where the Twenty-third Infantry Regimental Band will also be stationed, thanks to the courtesy of Colonel Frank H. Horton commanding the Twenty-third. After the troopers have passed the reviewing stand, the band will be hurried by automobiles to the armory to receive the cavelrymen upon their arrival there. The armory will be decorated for the returning soldiers and refreshments will be provided for them.

Twelve hundred tickets for the admission of relatives and friends of the troopers to the armory are being distributed, two visitors being allowed each trooper. As soon as the hour of the cavalry's arrival at the New York Central terminal at Sixtieth street and Eleventh avenue, Manhattan, is definitely known, placards will be circulated among tho residents along the line of march in Brooklyn, requesting them to assist in the welcome to the troopers by hanging out their flags and decorating the buildings along the route. The citizens of Brooklyn who remained In their comfortable homes during the eight months that the cavalrymen spent in their border camps, can thus do their part to show Brooklyn's appreciation for its soldiers and the sacrifices they have made. At the meeting at the Cavalry Club yesterday those of the veterans and members present started a fund for the expenses incidental to the reception of the troopers, and $700 was immediately raised to defray the cost of decorating the armory, and other features of the celebration. The Cavalry Club, which was furnished recently by subscription among the veterans and the club members at home, so it might be ready for the troopers upon their return, was complete to the last detail, at the informal opening last night.

Even the curtains are in place, and the club is about as comfortable and homey as it possibly could be. The kitchen is ready tary training program had also been circulated. This was regarded as significant in view of the recent disclosure of the connection of Miss Jessie Hugnan, a teacher In the school, with the Anti-Enlistment League. A story published in The Eagle to the effect that the halls of the school had been used to distribute circulars advising against military training and contain- wf. rffriU tr "0t uJin: was denied by Dr.

Vlymen, but was, again borne out by Sheriff Riegelmann, who declared he had personally neara or tnis activity. A call will be Issued by the delegation for a general meeting of the Congress Club, the Seneca Club, the Hanover Club, the Nineteenth Ward Improvement Association, the Fourth Assembly District Republican Club, the Eckford Club, the Entre Nous Club, the Y.

This meeting will be held probably within two weeks and one of Its avowed purposes will be to force a retraction of his statements from Controller Prendergast ist caYalrystops at fort worth, tex. Regiment Is Returning From Border by Easy Stages to Rest Horses. TO REACH CHICAGO SATURDAY. Do Xot Expect to Arrive In Brooklyn Bcforo March 14th or 15th. (Special to The Eagle.) Fort Worth, Texas, March 8 The First Cavalrymen returning from the border stopped at Fort Worth yesterday, and after the horses had been attended to, were given three hours of liberty during which they roamed about the historic town and post at will.

The troopers are making their return trip by easy stages, so as not to tire the horses; in fact so short and eaj are the jumps made by each of the four sections of the special, that in all probability the Brooklyn troops will not arrive at their armory until about Wednesday or even Thursday of next week. The cavalrymen are not out of Texas yet, and will not arrive at Chicago, it is expected, until Saturday morning. The men enjoy the stops at the different cities, and their liberty to see the sights of the various towns, but the trip Itself is becoming monotonous for most of the men, who, after their strenuous work on the border, chafe under the Inaction of remaining in the cars almost all the day. Most of "the time during the trip is spent in playing cards and reading. All of the cavalrymen are looking forward to their first sight of snow, although they have not as yet encountered any colder weather than that which they experienced at Mc-Allen.

POLICE WIRELESS HERE System to Be Instaled at Local Headquarters. Superintendent Brennan and Captain Allen of the telephone and telegraph bureau of the Police Department visited Brooklyn Police Headquarters on Poplar street late yesterday afternoon and made a trip to the roof of the building. Mr. Brennan said that he was preparing to install a wireless system in the borough similar to that at police headquarters on Centre street, Manhattan. One of the wireless experts of the Police Department was with him.

Apart from the necessity of a wireless outfit in Brooklyn in the event of trouble with Germany, Superintendent Brennan said that the outfit in Manhattan had proved most valuable in getting information about wrecks and marine trouble at sea. The new system in Brooklyn will probably be in service in a week. ARRIYE IN EUROPE Steamer Mongolia Reaches London, and Freighter City of Puebla Is at Cherbourg. BOTH HAD LARGE CARGOES. Mongolia First Amcricnn Vessel to Leave New York Since War Zone Note.

The American steamship Mongolia of the Atlantic Transport Line, which left here on February 20, with a cargo and 1,200 sacks of United States mail, first American vessel to leave with mall since the German war zone declaration, arrived safely at London, March 5, according to cable advices received In New York today. The mall was transferred from the American Line steamship St. Louis, which was to have left here February 3. The Mongolia Is the fifth American steamship to defy the German submarine proclamation and reach port safely. The others are the Gold Shell from Philadelphia for Bordeaux, Orleans and Rochester from New York for Bordeaux and the Dochra, New York for Genoa.

The British steamship Cretic of the White Star Line, which sailed on February 6, also arrived safely at Naples on March 6. The Cretic car-ried 97 passengers, of whom six were Americans, and United States mail for Azores and Mediterranean ports. Word of the safe arrival at Cher bourg of the American freighter City of Puebla was also received today, muklntr the sixth American vessel sailing for European ports to elude German submarines since reoru-ary 1. Tho City of Puebla, commanded by Captain John E. Willett, with fourteen Americans among her crew, left hero on February 18, carrying general merchandise.

The crew, according to an agreeement with the owners before the vessel left here, will receive a war bonus of 60 per cent, in pay. HITS SENATE "NONSENSE." Might Have Discussed Suffrage, Says Mrs. Cothren. "We have been told that the Senate and House must occupy itself with matters pertaining to the national crisis and therefore pay any attention to suffrage. But the Individual arguments that I heard during the filibustering are trivial compared to that Issue," said Mrs.

Frank 11. Cothren, first vice chairman of the Brookhn Woman Suffrage party, when she arrived from Washington yesterday afternoon. "Talk about reeling off nonsense," she said. "Really, I don't think thut women could be as bad and talk about inane things just to kill time." Colonel Ida Craft, who says that she Is the onlv woman who represented this borough in the chain which formed about the White House, Whut asked what she thought of the fact that the President did not come out tn irreet them, said, "I am sure that he peeped out from behind the curtains, aren't you?" But reporters are a skeptical lot. The executives of the Brooklyn Woman Suffrage party held a meeting at the headquarters, 342 Livingston street, yesterday afternoon.

The success of "the suffrage section which appeared in connection with yesterday's Eagle was discussed. And a prize "2 was awarded to Miss Mary 1J. Buxton, who, between January 22 and March 2, gained 700 converts to the suffrage cause. NOT HIS COMPLAINT. "Read the directions on the bottle, Mandy." "It sez: 'For adults, teaspoon "Thunder!

Cad-man's subject was "The Influence of Politics Upon Religion." In the course of his address Dr. Cadman strongly disapproved the nurse of the twelve nilDUSienng Senators, whom he had previously called the "recalcitrant mossbacks." "We could not have had a greater tragedy come upon us," said Dr. Cadman, "if all the doors of the Insane asylums of the country had been unbarred a.Dd the Inmates let loose. If Daniel Webster or William Pitt could have pronounced one of their great sentences It would have swept them off the face of the earth. They do not seem to possess any reasoning powers." for use, and a steward has been engaged, so that nothing will be lacking when the boys get home.

Staten Islanders are planning a dinner In their honor. MORE APARTMENTS ROBBED Hendricks Street Thefts Laid to Couple Sought by Police. In the very face of the efforts on the part of detectives to locate the fashionably dressed man and woman few days ago entered and who a sacked four houses In the Highland Park section, two more apartments were entered last night by the pair, who left such clear evidence of their handicraft that the police cannot doubt that It was their work.

The two -apartments entered last night are both in the house at 66 Hen dricks street. The tnieves nrsi jimmied their way. Into the apartment of Joseph Hurley, where they took $25 In cash and clothing and other articles the value of whioh has not yet been definitely estimated. After finishing with the Hurley apartment the burglars went upstairs to that of Charles Law, on the floor above. There they jimmied the door and ransacked the parlor, but were evidently scared away as nothing had been 4aken.

The pair makes a specialty of jimmying a way into the front of apart-merits during the dinner hour while the occupants are dining In the back rooms, taking what they can find and sneaking out FOR NEW BANK CHARTER her Controller of Currency Expected to Act Tuesday.

"CAN'T BE DONE," SAYS POCXDS. Marks, Connolly and Dowling Also Oppose Abolishment of Borough Heads. Controller Prendergast's plan for further centralization. In Manhattan. I ot the city's public activities, by abol- Ishlng borough park commissioners and placing-all park lands in Greater New York under the rule of one man, has a slim chance of being approved by the Board of Estimate, Indeed, from Interviews with members of the board it would appear that the proposition is supported by the Controller alone, with tho Mayor as a possible second, While Mayor Mitchel hna rtni vat- ucMueu nis position as to this matter th favors the plan.

The-Mayor thus far has given his hearty support to all measures intended to aid In centralizing the city government. At the Finance Department It was said today that no figures were at hand showing exactly the saving that could be effected by abolishing the borough park commissioners, "It can't be done," said Borough President Pounds today when asked to state his opinion of the Controller's latest centralization move. "In nrst piace I am sum that on i ough presidents win oppose a that Involves the. elimination of bor-i ough control over nubile mri Thoi The ace.a ttlat body, llie Board of Estimate, moreover, cannot abolish the borough park commissioners who were created by an act of the Legislature. It would require an amendment to the charter to put them out of office and 1 do not believe that the Legislature can be persuaded to pass such a bill.

Wrrst Commissioner Ingersoll sstr in rem to the Controller's proposition is absolutely true. Brooklyn's parks can-ilii'6 fC trom Manhattan with the same efficiency as when they are under control of a local commissioner who is, directly responsible to the people of the borough for what he does with their park properties." Borough President Marks of Man- tlon iS faVr ProPsi- 'natter is brought up in the Board of Estimate," he said today, "I shall register my objection in no uncertain way. The Idea of one Commissioner holdins absolute sway over all the park lands in a city of 6,000 000, people, politically divided into five boroughs, is preposterous. Its realization would mean another step in direction of centralization of authority, a policy which I have strongly opposed. "My continued President Marks, "is that the Borough Presidents should be given more power than they now possess.

Thev ought to have control over the cleaning of the streets and also the parks in their respective boroughs. Then the taxpayers could hold these officials directly responsible. Instead of attempting to centralize control over the various borough activities in Manhattan, we should plan to give the boroughs of Greater New York a greater degree of autonomy than they are endowed with under present conditions." This is what Borough President Connolly of Queens said when he was asked what he thought of Controller Prendergast's scheme to let a commissioner from tho seat of govern- ment in direct the park activities in his borough: "I am absolutely opposed to It. In this borough we know what It means to be without a park commissioner of our own. Up to the time a park com-imlssloner for Queens was appointed by special act of the Legislature, little lor nothing was done to improve our park lands.

Since then a great deal has bfecn done. Before wo had a park commissioner all we could get in the way of park appropriations was about $17,000 a year. Now the amount runs to about $100,000. That tells the whole story. For the proper development and maintenance of the park lands in this borough it Is absolutely necessary to have a man- In control who Is thoroughly familiar with local conditions.

What is true of Queens in this matter holds good of all the other boroughs. No amount ot pressure can make me vote for such a plan as is nronosod bv the controller." President. Dowling of the Board of Aldermen also voiced his opposition 'to the Controller's Idea of one-man power in the domain of tho city's parks. He said: "I am for ocenomy and efficiency, but this plan of putting all tho parks in the city under the authority of one man doesn't appeal to me at all. I think the boroughs should have as much self-government as possible particularly in the matter of parks, for these public breathing spaces are very closo to the hearts of the people."

1-2 I Delegation of Citizens Plans Mass Meeting to "Wipo Out Stain on School." TEACHER DID URGE PACIFISM. But Delegates Say Boys Are Not Unpatriotic; Many Were Under Age. The age limit at which boys in the Eastern District High School may volunteer for military training haa been reduced to 16 years, and as a result 400 boys have volunteered to take the regular weekly drills prescribed. The necessity for parental consent was also suspended. The first drill will be held In the Forty-seventh Regiment next week under the supervision of Dr.

C. Ward Crampton, physical director of tho Board of Education. As soon as possible an effort will be made to secure from the Federal Government the use of the discarded rifles in the arsenals, with which the boys are to drill. The commotion which resulted from the first announcement that only 65 boys out of 1,600 hud volunteered for military training, and the denunciations of Controller Prendergast and several prominent Brooklyn clergymen, have resulted in a changed attitude among the boys themselves, and for tho past few weeks there has been a general disposition on their part to assume a position which would arouse less antagonism. In consequence, when Dr.

William T. Vlymen, the principal of the school, announced that he had lowered the age limit, there was a general rush to volunteer. A delegation of Eastern District citizens, headed by Sheriff Edward Rle-gelmann and Major E. H. Snyder, formerly of the Forty-seventh Regiment, visited Dr.

Vlymen yesterday to ascertain the truth of the reports that patriotism was conspicuous by Its absence in the school, Dr. Vlymen told of the change in the age limit and also said that In future regular weekly drills of one hour each would be held. The delegation was greatly pleased and declared that a protest meeting of all civic and political organizations In the Eastern District would be held "to wipe tho stain from the Eastern District High School." Sheriff Riegelmann said following the visit: boys of the Eastern District High School are as patriotic, if not more so, than the boys of other high schools. Dr. Vlymen explained that there were only 240 boys in the school of the age of 16 or over and of this number more than 100 had to help support their families.

With about 65 volunteering for military training out of little more than 100. the ner- centage is certainly very good. The patriotism or me boys was further DEATHS McGEEHAN On Thursday, March 8, 1917, at her residence, 700 Nostrand av. SUSAN A. McGEEHAN.

SISTERS AND AUNTS. Four States "Whitewash" Their Filibuster Senators "A LITTLE GROUP OF WILLFUL MEN" Slone 1m Follette Works: Vanlumaii Lane Cummins Groiiiui N'orrls Clupp Jones Klrby O'Gorman Influenced by the "explanations" made by some of the "willful twelve" Senators who held up President Wilson's armed ship bill, four States sidetracked' legislative resolutions of condemnation. Delaware added her indignant protest to that of other States, Vardaman of Mississippi got a forty-pound iron cross from former admirers and La Follette's West Virginia lecture was scratched off the slate. Mississippi Thomas Collins, a blacksmith of Biloxi, forged an Iron cross weighing 40 pounds, cut into it the inscription, "Lest the' Kaiser Forget," and sent it to U. S.

Senator James K. Vardaman. With It went a note to the effect that the crops is sent in the fear that the Kaiser might overlook Vardaman's valor, and because the Senator "double-crossed" Wilson. West Virginia Aroused by the sentiment In favor of President Wilson and his preparedness measures, subscribers to the lecture slated for tonight by La Follette, voted 4 to 1 to cancel it and notified the filibustering Senator that he was not wanted. Delaware The Senate unanimously adopted a resolution expressing "deep indignation" over the failure of the "willful twelve" to support Pies ident Wilson and his armed ship bill.

California The Legislature took under advisement resolutions deploring the action of U. S. Senator John D. Works in helping asphyxiate the ship bill, and offering support to President Wilson and his policies. Wisconsin The Senate, by a vote of 19 to 13, sidetracked to a committee tho resolution criticising Senator La Follete's action on tho armed ship bill and urging him to change his course and stand by the President.

Nebraska lho state Senate voted icise U. S. Senator Norris for his part in the filibuster. Colorado The Senate, by a vote of 17 to 16, defeated the resolution previously offered to censure the "willful twelve." The argument that the resolution was prompted by "mob spirit" induced some of the Colorado legislators to back down from their original attitude. Iowa A resolution centuring U.

S. Senator Cummins, which had been offered, was expunged from- the record of the House of Representatives by unanimous vote, In the absence of Representative Rayburn, author of the resolution. New York Albany's Woodrow Wrilson League in resolutions repudiated the action of United States Senator James A. O'Gorman nnd characterized him and the other eleven as "unfaithful to their trust and unworthy representatives of the American people." New York ('Ity The executive committee of the Business Men's National Service League, which was recently organized to reach the business men in a united campaign for preparedness, suddenly adjourned its meeting In the Yale. Club last night when Nelson Macy offered a resolution cen-curing Senator O'Gorman.

It was explained that the league Is "non-partl- san" and could not consider political down the resolution Intended to crit- opinions, I BHW.
