BYK'S Packard Motor Service Packard Cars Exclusively' NIGHT AND DAY PROMPT AND SERVICE EFFICIENT Phone BEDFORD 2800 463 MONROE STREET ASKS FOR REVOKING OF BURNS' LICENSE Secretary of Printing Trades Council Says Detective Agency Violated Law.

RESOUT OF WIRE TAPPING? Letter to Travis Gives No Reasons but Says Counsel Will Prove "Cnlawful Acts." (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 13-Apipication was made today to Controller Travis to revoke the license of the William J. Burns Detective Agency in New York. The request was filed formally with the Controller by the New York Allied Printing Trades Council, in a letter signed by E. W. Edwards, the secretary.

No reason for the request was given in the missive, which merely stated that Meier Steinbrink, as counsel for Edwards, would present, "indisputable proof of violation of the law," when called upon to do so. Unofficially, it was hinted that this action had been taken as a result of activity of Burns Agency in connection with the wire-tapping row. The letter of Mr. Edwards, addressed to Mr. Travis, was as follows: "I herewith make application to you for the revocation of the license of the William Burns Detective Agency, which is now doing business in this State.

"My attorney, Meier Steinbrink, of 215 Montague street, Brooklyn, who is advised that this formal application has been made, is ready to present to you indispensable proof of violations of the law, which I believe demands action on your part, toward the end that the citizenship of this State may be protected against unlawful acts committed by such agencies, under the guise of a service to a client." TRNKA A FINE VIOLINIST. In Recital With Trying Program in Acolian Hall. Alois Trnka's violin recital last night at Aeolian Hail, Manhattan, was given with artistry, with a program of interest in several types of composition. was the backbone of the program, instanced in his Suite Backs in Minor, and "Sarabande" from Second English Suite for piano (first time). The violin alone gave this number, and it was in this that Mr.

Trnka's art showed best, in that it was unassisted. In the Bach suite he also played with due Bach majesty and richness. The Lalo "Symphonie Espagnole." in three movements, was played with a marvel of brilliancy and virility. Godowsky's "Legende." which is original in composition, and two pieces by Israel Joseph. the accompanist, were novelties.

The Brahms Waltz in A Major gave zest. Joseph's "Japanese Lullaby" and "Saltarella" were charming numbers, the former, with the mute used, proving to be a valuable addition to the literature of violin scores. Paganini's Caprices 20, 13 and 24, closed the program buoyantly. NATIONAL ACADEMY PRIZES. Announced for the Spring Exhibition, to Open on Saturday.

China, Spain and the Far East have cast their shadows on the fashions of the season and at the spring of gowns, suits, wraps and which opened at Frederick Loser this morning, barbaric colors and the new unique models. designs were distinctive Straight lines are graceful and prevalent, especially in evening dresses where a narrow girdle an inch or two wide is the only break in the fall material from shoulder to ankle. These girdles are very new and although they are often of a similar color to the gown, are sometimes the brilliant touch of contrasting color which adds character to the ensemble. Skirts are longer and narrower and it is hinted that the square train is but a forerunner of the fashion of the coming season which will again.

permit evening gowns to fall in soft folds to the floor all the way around. Tulle scarfs and sleeves of a similar or contrasting color continue to be popular for evening, some of them are cut to resemble the mandarin sleeve with the sling effect at the bottom. Many materials are combined and full draped skirts show the strong Chinese influence in the quaint pointed draping or square bandings. Another fad of the spring is the effort to introduce the Turkish note in the fashioning of the skirts by fastening the edge of the over skirt up onto a shorter foundation which gives the baggy trouser or barrel effect. Richly colored embroideries suggesting Chinese or Persian designs, paisly or more simple characters, are a mark of the latest creations for afternoon and evening.

One afternoon frock of pale blue Georgette has a conventional border woven in a basket design of blue, rose and green beads. Popular materials for evening continue to be metal cloths and laces, tulle and brocade. For afternoon wear there are several distinctly new notes, satin, Georgette, taffeta and the old-fashioned grograin materials are in vogue for the dresses, while suits are of many materials and styles, a combination of taffeta and duvetyn being one of the newest fancies. Sport skirts and suits are of jersey cloth or silk and Brighton or glace cloth, a very ultra material of shiny character which suggests metal cloth. Bathing suits are more elaborate than ever and to add to the striking effects there are scarfs and modish hats of rubber made in attractive styles and colors.

Velvet is the newest material and, it is said, is' proving most servicable. Children's frocks are particularly dainty this season WANT TO CONORETE ROADS. Business Men in Greenport Urge 000 Bond Issue. (Special to The Eagle.) Greenport, L. March 13-Business men of Greenport are working for the construction of a concrete road on the two main streets of the village.

S. An appeal to the dentists of the country to donate their services in making acceptable for military duty those volunteers who are rejected because of defective teeth, was issued here today by the National Security League. A. letter was sent to Dr. Otto King, of Huntington, secretary of the National Dental Association, asserting that a large percentage of the men who apply at recruiting stations are thus turned away.

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE, Caruso and Matzenauer in Admirable Repetition of Saint-Saens' Work, "obtained directly from the companies referred to. indicates no increase in average cost in the last four months of -916, and further indicates an actual decrease of cost in the cases of the companies whose cost production is high. "Judging from the tonnage produced in January, 1917, there is 110 reason to believe that costs thus far in 1917 would materially change the average shown by the figures compiled from September to December, 1916. Therefore, it is the opinion of the commission that further increases in circular prices this spring by failure to grant the cautomary discounts could not be justified on the basis of increased cost. commission makes this statement in advance of its forthcoming report, because it is a matter of vital interest to the public that no unjustifiable increase in price be made.

"This statement does not refer to the increases in circular prices of all anthracite in May, 1916, nor to the panic prices which have prevailed on part of the tonnage this fall and winter, concerning which the commission will make a report in the near future. The cost data already compiled by the commission. however. are conclusive against further price increases this spring." INDOOR PLATTSBURG AT FORTY-SEVENTH So Williamsburg Men May Prepare for Emergency Service.

Regimental drills have been instituted at the Forty-seventh Regiment by Colonel Ernest E. Jannicky for Thursday nights. Drills formerly were held separately by the various companies on different nights.

Colonel Jannicky decided that better results would be obtained at this time by instituting a weekly drill of the whole regiment.

"Samson et Dalila" had another production at the Metropolitan Opera House and the large Monday night audience heard a capital performanos. There was a "Caruso house" and Mme, Matzenauer as Dalila was in her best voice.

It was that artist who sang in its first production at the Metropolitan and as her later slenderness of figure brings to her a better appearance her presentation of the role grows in the favor of her audience. As for her singing, it. was always beautiful end well fitted for the opera. Caruso's presence in any opera is sure to draw a great audience. He 18 a magnet for the opera house.

His mature artistry as Samson finds in "Samson et Dalila" a peculiar test of his ability to divest himself of personality, for it is not at all times an opera which calls for the applause of the multitude. Rather is pity felt for the strong man, especially in the scene where, as a captive, he has to walk, barefooted, in propelling a big wheel around and around. If there were the slightest doubt of Caruso's devotion to his art it would vanish on hearing him as Samson. The artists were ably supported by Amato as the High Priest, Schlegel as Abimelech, Rothier as old Hebrew and by other artists. Polacca's baton directed the melodious score.

The stage pictures were extremely brilliant.
