Stagnation in Local Office, and Only Contempt for Needs of Borough, TALK OF AV INVESTIGATION. Members of Kings County Medical So. clcty Weary of Wasting Time on Indifferent Ofliclnli.

Many members of tho Kings County Medical Society, it was learned yesterday, are convinced that the Health Department administration of Hrooklyn la a joke and are talking of tho need of an investigation. They see, it is staed, only a profound contempt for the needs of Brooklyn in the attitude which the department has held toward the borough in the past and are not even hopeful that ho new post of "borough chief" is going to remedy the situation. 1 "Any criticism you 'may make of the Health Department In Brooklyn Is more than justified," was the assurance given yesterday by one of the chief figures in the Kings County Medical Society, "and I speak for a number of men when I say that it Is ridiculous to imaglno that tho department has done even a fraction of Its duty in safeguarding the health of Brooklyn. "Conditions over here have grown unbearable, almost past belief. Why, I have been told by one of the men connected with the department that if we knew tho way some tilings are being handled in the Health Dopart-tnont now we would fall through the floor.

Many medical men have been conversant for some time with the fact that the Department of Health was fnlling behind in its duty, and there has been a dlsposiiton to take up the matter in the medical societies of the various boroughs. Nothing has been done thus far because the disposition was to give Dr. Emerson every possible chance to make reforms. "But conditions have grown worse, instead of better. How can any one imagine that It is efficiency to put at the head of a great city of 2.000,000 people a.

doctor who is employed only part of the time and then, when a dreaded epidemic breaks out. to take nway its handling from the place where it exists and have it handled from another city? And how can nnyono reconcile that efficiency in health matters which Brooklyn has a right to expect with the appointment as Its chief health officer of a man who may or mny not have the power to do what the borough needs, tho whole thing depending on the whim or fancy of the Commislsoner himself, whatever his Brooklyn representative mny suggest? "There is only one tiling that will do for Brooklyn and for nlj tho other boroughs. That Is the appointment of a deputy commissioner, or an officer with tho powers of a deputy commissioner, under whom Health Department administration will bo centralized in each of the boroughs. You cannot control the health of a community by directing from another community. Sent from ltiirvnti to Bureau, Where All Avoid Responsibility.

"Suppose that you wish to take up some question of public health or medical matter with the Health Department now, nnd wish to get an opinion. You c'n go to the Brooklyn office and you won't find a man there who knows oi- who will venture an opinion. You must go on over to Manhattan, and oven thero you can't And any individual who can tell you what yon want to know. You are sent to this bureau and that bureau and each otie of them seeks to avoid the responsibility. It's like seeking to get an audience with the King of l'ersia to try to get any Information or any opinion from the Health Department.

And if you like to waste time well, I know of no easier way for any mwi to cool his heels than to go to the Health Department either to see the Commissioner or seeking information. It is absolutely essential to the welfare of the community, in my opinion, that responsibility should be fixed In the department among several heads. At present, every single solitary thing is referred to the Commissioner, and he alone seems to decide all questions. Looking at the matter in only one phase, that altogether too great a responsibility for any one man to have to be the sole arbiter of matters of health for a city of five boroughs and of 5,000,000 pe- "The designation of a 'borough chief for Brooklyn may or may not solve the difficulty.

South Africa, on British steamer City of Lahore, today to meet her husband, whom her parents prevented her from accompanying a month ago. Her departure was characteristic ot the romance that made her marriage an event in the social world. Brooklynites well remember the night a few weeks ago when the girl they knew as Frances Thompson rushed into a social affair at Kismet Temple and created a stir by declaring that she had Just married Herbert D.

Thompson of 825 Marcy avenue, and that her father and mother would nllt lot her go with him to South AfShe' pleaded with them, but they were adamant, and the bridegroom hart to go to South Africa alone Yesterday when the City of Lahore slipped away from her pier at the foot of Forty-first street there were two passport's among the th rty-four the Ink was on noaru uu scarcely drv. They were those of the young Mrs. Thompson and her mother. Mrs. Myron Beaumont.

Myron Beaumont, the well-known exporter, when questioned hv The Eagle, said that his daughter had so worked on his feelings and those of her mother since i she was Vtiiai-innii thn.t. tnev Darted iruni had finally decided to let her go. The decision had not been reached until the last moment, he said, and there had been a great scramble to Ret both of them off in time to sail with the ship at noon.

It Is horrifying to think how little has been shown for tho borough. Conditions, let me repeat, have been absolutely rotten here and must be remedied.

That they will he remedied, or some action taken to show them before the public in their true light, seems to me certuin." 15 WANT JOB FROM LEWIS All Seekers for Allen's Post Are "Recommended." Having been personally assured by fifteen candidates that each Is best fitted for the Job nnd confronted with "strong recommendations" of a political nature as to the qualifications of a dozen more, District Attorney Harry E. Lewis is facing the problem of filling the vacancy in his office created by the resignation of Assistant District Attorney William Paul Allen. "I haven't decided yet on a man to fill Mr. Allen's place," raid Mr. Lewis, as he made a vain effort to hide nine furrows in his brow.

"Fifteen candidates have been to see me personally, while others have been 'recommended'- from surprising sources and with assuranccH that would make even a Solomon gasp. It will be np easy matter to find a man as satisfactory as Mr. Allen, but there may be some reward In learning what opinion some persons have of themselves. "While I regret the loss of so val-uablo an assistant, I would not think of standing In tho way of his advancement. Ho is deserving of it.

And when I accepted his resignation lie went away with my best wishes for his success and prosperity." GERMAN NAVAL PLANES SHELL RUSSIAN WORKS Berlin, March 10 (by wireless to Sayville, L.

MOLLOYONCEJAILED, GETS SING SING POST Committed by Cropsey for Contempt in Sullivan Joy Ride Case. (Special to Tho Eagle.) Ossining.

X. March 10 John J. Malloy, jailed in Brooklyn in October, 1914, for contempt of court while deputy warden of Sing Sing Prison, because he refused to testify In tho investigation of the David A. Sullivan "joy rides," is again a deputy warden nt the prison and first assistant to Warden William Mnyer. Malloy has Just been named for the post, coincident with the designation of James Evers as the second deputy.

There la much speculation as to the forces back of Malloy's appointment at the hands of the present Republican administration of the prison. He is a Democrat and is credited with having been lined up against Governor Whitman in the campaign of last November. Malloy figured very prominently in the probe conducted by the then District Attorney Cropsey into the special privileges allowed the convicted president of the Union Bank, while a Sing Sing prisoner. The inquiry was directed at Warden McCormick, who was shown in the course of the investigation to have been Sullivan's companion on extensive automobile trips, and who later was ousted, and Malloy refused to testtty wnen brought before the Kings County Grand Jury to tell what he knew of the "joy rides." District Attorney Cropsey took him promptly before County Judge Boy on October 26, and Judge Roy sent him to Raymond Street Jail. There Malloy continued obdurate for four days, while others were giving the testimony which he had refused to give.

When he at last consented to testify and was brought before the Grand Jury on October 30, the information he gave fell rather flat for a man who had gono to jail rather than disclose it.

Itrgi "i mall pints, fries rcuounblo, Measure Would Prohibit Even Police From "Listening on Conversations. (Special to The Ragle.) Albany, March 10 Legislation of the Thompson Public Service probers, designed to reorganize completely the two Public Service Commissions and redraft the law under which regulation of common carriers and public service corporations is administered. Is In course of preparation here and will be introduced during the session next week, If the probers are ublc to get it together In time. Besides providing for a consolidation of the two commissions and a strengthening of -the regulative law. the program includes a wire-tapping bill even more (stringent in its provisions than those- which have been Introduced by the Republican enemies of Mayor Mitchel's administration for tho purpose of annoying him and keeping alive the -bitterness of the charities probe.

Henator Thompson's draft of a wiretapping bill, according to the tentative terms, would absolutely prohibit, all tapping of telephone wires, except, such as shall be done by the Federal Government for Federal Government purposes. Word of the stringency'of the proposed clause has reached the Mayor's office and the Police Department, where it has raised a storm jof protest. The Thompson legislation will consist of, nt least three bills and possibly more.

I FARING DISCLOSES sriT. Ill Examination nt Mineola. Writer Dex-liircs She Tried but to Shield Her Itclutivc. Mrs. Florence Hodgson Burnett, tho noted writer, author of "The Dawn of a Tomorrow," "Little Lord Fauntle-roy" and other widely read books, was examined recently at Mineola, L.

beforo trial in the suit for alleged libel for the recovery of $50,000, begun in the Manhattan Supreme Court by Mrs. Anna Prall Fahnestock. Mineola was undoubtedly selected by tho attorneys in the case as being convenient to Plandome Park, where Mrs. Burnett lives. The testimony in the case was filed in tho Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday, and may be used in tho coming trial.

The suit is based on a letter from -the authoress to Mrs. Emma Prall Knorr, a sister of Mrs. Fahnestock, written, according to Mrs. Burnett, to close a puinful incident, so that Mrs. Edith Jordan, the sister of the novelist, would be saved further trouble from a womun.

This woman, Mrs. Burnett said, had been befriended by herself and Mrs. Jordan, and had then shown that she was out of harmony with them. The plaintiff is a daughter-in-law of Mrs. Jordan.

During the course of the examination, Mrs. Burnett said that she had not discussed the letter which caused the controversy or other matters In connection with the subject with any of her close friends. She explained this by stating: "You see, that is part of our philosophy, that we will not talk and that we will have no rows. So when these things had happened, we were not going to allow ourselves to bo drawn into wild scenes uf crimination and recrimination. "When my sister found that Mrs.

Fahnestock was accusing her of being an Intruder and making mischief be tween herself and hvr husband, we said there should bo no discussion and no rows. We will not intrdue ourselves. We will speak to her if we must, but wo will keep out of tho way as much as possible. "lA'ttor Written in Itcsponse to Mrs. lalincstork's Insinuations." Mrs.

Fahnestock, as related by the writer, married Archie Fahnestock, son of her sister, Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Burnett explained that her letter had been written on February 21, 1915, from Scarsdale, N. where she was then staying, in response to insinuations by Mrs.

Fahnestock that Mrs. Jordan had been Interfering between her husband and herself. Mrs. Burnett's testimony was given before James N. Gehrig, appointed a referee for the hearing by Justico Guy.

Mrs. Burnett, who was represented by Joseph JI. Harttleld, of White Case, was questioned by the plaintiff's counsel, W. W. Niles of Niles i Johnson.

In reply to his query as to the. motive for her letter, Mrs. Burnett said: "You see, my sister. 'Mrs. Jordan, who is Mrs.

Fnhnestock's mother-in-law, has had very sad and tragic life, and I have been taking care of her for a good many years. She is a person who isn't as well able to defend herself as I am. She has been made so perfectly unhappy by the attitude of her daughter-in-law to her, because she believed that she cared for her and she had been very fond of her, and when after I had heard of all the cruel things that she had been saying about her, finally Mrs. Knorr sprang in with a letter, a letter in very suave terms, intimating al lthe things that Mrs. Fahnestock had been accusing her of she was so broken-hearted that she camo Into my room and put the letter down on my bed and said, 'Read this; what can 1 "I read the letter and it was most carefully, suavely phrased, but In every sentence it implied all the things that Mrs.

Fahnestock had been accusing my sisir of doing; nt least nearly all, not quite. And I said then I knew Edith, my sister, couldn't defend herself and 1 said, 'Now I will come in. I shall end this "I had been paying expenses and bills, all the time and I had said that I would help to pay for tho operation (on Mrs. Fahnestock). My poor sister ha given all the money she possibly could and I said, 'I shall pay nothing more.

I will do nothing more and 1 will permit you to do nothing more. This matter is "Letter Was Sent In Defense of My Sister." "And so the letter was sent. It was In defense of my sister. It was not necessary for me to write a letter on my own account." Mrs. Burnett, no lives at i iun-dome Tal L.

said that she had not discussed the letter or tho mat ters referred to it w.ith any of her M.ise friends there, or even with Mrs. or he husband. The nnlv nersons with whom she had tniiraH nvni- the situation, she de- flnred. were her sister and Mrs. Wil liam Faval Clarke, wife of the editor of St.

Nicholas Magazine, with whom she was staying when she wrote the toiler rnnltllained Of. In this connection Mrs. Burnett disclosed some of the philosophic outlook which rules her nousenom. None of her friends at Plandome Park. Mrs.

Burnett testified, com mented to her after the letter on the non-appearance of Mrs. Fahnestock tn thsit nlnce. where she had spent sev eral years. When asked by the plain tiff's attorney if she had not under stood Hint Mrs. Fahnestock would re turn to Plandome from Mrs.

Knorr's home in Washington, 1. Mrs. Burnett nnswered: "If she could have come back to Plandome and been a harmonious creature, we should have been only too glad." Mrs. Burnett acknowledged that tluit three davs after writing the first letter she had addressed another to "Dear Effle" and signed it 'flurry, which was received by Miss Euphemta an aunt of Mrs. ratine stock.

The authoress declared that sho wrote this letter because Miss McFarland was a very dear friend, and sho did not want the aunt to think that when Mrs. Burnett wrote In the first letter about breaking off her ac- nuaintance with the nieces that she. Miss McFarland, was included in the estrangement. e. Si on llndertRliprn.
