Proposed Measure Permits Tun- nel to Run Under Barge Terminal. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 28 Legislation has been Introduced in both the Senate and Assembly to permit the State Canal Board to grant to the City of New York the right to construct lines through and under the land acquired by the State north of the Queensborough Bridge in Queens County for a barge canal terminal.

The measure has been introduced in the upper House by Senator Murphy of Brooklyn and in the lower branch by Assemblyman Youker of Flatbush. It is urged by the Public Service Commission as necessary for the construction of the Sixtieth street tunnel under the East River from Manhat-, tan to Queens. Memoranda submitted here by the Public Service Commission in support of the measure states that this tunnel is an Integral part of the Broadway-Fourth Avenue Rapid Transit Railroad to be constructed by the city under the terms of contract No. 4 with the New York Municipal Railway Corporation. "Prior to the making of this contract," says the memoranda, "the Public Service Commission took up with the Canal Board the question of securing the necessary rights and easements for the construction and operation of the tunnel through the barge canal terminal property.

"The Canal Board indicated that it had no right to grant such easements but would consent to the construction and operation of the tunnel upon the understanding that the Commission would, apply, to the next Legislature for amendments to the Barge Canal terminal cv peiuuiuue, such a grant. Accordingly the Canal Rnard consented in so far as-it had authority then so to do, to the construction and operation ot tho upon these conditions; "TTirst. that the plans for the tun nel work must be approved in writ ing by the State Engineer ana mat. no departure should be made irom them without Jike approval and that th i of the Dronerty by the city should be in conformity with reasonT able rules and regulations to be adopted by the Superintendent of Public Works, all to the end that the use by the State of the property for canal terminal purposes should not be interfered with. Second, that if the construction on said premises of terminals or terminal facilities should be rendered more expensive by reason of the use made by the city of said premises the cfty should reimburse the State for any increase in the cost or expense Third: That the State should not be liable for injury fr.

stninttires Dlaced by the city under said premises. These conditions were accepted by the city. ''in view of the importance of the tunnel and of the large sum to be hv the citv it would seem that an act should.be passed amending the Bavgn Terminal act bo as 10 autiiunio the Canal Board to convey to the city easements for the con struction and operation of the tunnel. The continuance of the tunnel should not upon a mere revocable consent. "Tlie tunnel is to be constructed under -the surface of the barge terminal property and its construction and operation' will- not interfere with the use of the property, for barge terminal mimoses.

The act does not compel the Canal Board to" make a grant to the city but authorizes the board to make such graht in its discretion. The consideration, if any, and the terms and conditions of the grant are to be such as the Canal Board and the Public Service Commission shall agree upon' SHOOTS DOG THAT ATTACKS HIM.

AJI Sorts of Cures for Attack Sent l'roin Far Away Points to Sufferer's Home. A two-grain capsule of Tonquin musk, a little known anti-spasmodic 'from French Indo-China, today brought ralief to James F.

McCabe, former chief clerk of the Board of 31 a slat rates, who lias been suffering his home, on Franklin avenue, Far Rockaway, for ten days from an at-" tack of hiccoughs. The musk was administered at 11 o'clock last night and soon brought relief to the pullcnt. Today he was much Improved and Dr. William Nammaek, his physician, expects him to recover entirely. Mr.

McCabe is 66 years old. The attack of hiccoughs was gradually exhausting him and the physicians feared It would cause his death If some means were not found to end the attack. The musk was secured in Manhattan. It costs $10 a dose, but proved to be worth nil of that in Mr. Mc-i 'a he's case.

The fuse has aroused Interest in many parts of the Cnited States, judging by tho telephone calls to the McCabe home today. One man, who said he was employed in the Secret Service at Washington, D. telephoned that, he had found by experience that chloroform and sugar was effective to stop hiccoughs; a woman telephoned from Kingston, X. that milk of magnesia was a good cure, and a woman from Caldwell, N. suggested drops of creosote on a piece of sugar.

A nurse residing in Cedarhurst suggested sudden fright would end the hiccoughs, and another woman from Cedarhurst suggested that Mr. McCabe should drink a glass of cold water and hold his breath while doing so. The prize suggestion came from someone far out on Long Island, who suggested that if Mr. McCabe would stand on his head and then look at his fingers he would be com-plctely cured.

(Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L. March 23 Dr. S. Parkes Cadman was Jieartily applaud ed when in, an address' last night at the Central Presbyterian Church he said we needed a man like Theodore Roosevelt to lead the armies of the United States in the present crisis. He denounced our policy of unpre-paredness and said that although we had bragged our.

military we had nothing of which to boast. Our cam paign in the War of 1812. was a disgraceful one, a series of failures, and the Spanish War was won by a bluff. The record of the Union armies In the Civil War was that of a series of disasters. He said that when the Twenty-third Brooklyn Regiment reached the Mexican borders, an eight-hours' journey in some of the same cars that wore used by Lincoln's troops in 1861, they had no stores and were compelled to swelter in winter uniforms in a heat of 120 degrees Farenhelt.

Yet Champ Clark was able to secure a $60,000 postofflce- for his home village of 2,000 inhabitants. Texas, with over three millions of inhabitants, sent only three regiments to the front and. six States sent New: lork sent 25,000 men. He said that in spite of the terrible I climatic conditions that prevailed, 1 only one death occurred in the regl- 1 ment of 1.260 men, and the deceased was the victim of an organic trouble he had before he left New lork. He said the high health record was due to the extraordinary sanitary conditions that prevailed In thd camp.

He said tht in one Kansan regi ment there were BOO men who had never seen a drunken man In their lives. He said he had become a convert to the Idea that the' saloon must go, not only as a measure of military preparedness, but for the general' wet-fare of the -nation. He said that the dut'os required of a chaplain were auch as no self-respecting hould be comveUed to endure. MADDCS REPEATS THE CHARGE. Official Says.

The statement which started the controversy appeared in the March issue of the Nassau County Journal, which is published by the Nassau County Association. The mention of Supervisor Christ's income being was used as an example in an article attacking the extravagances of the fee system by which many of the town and county officials are paid. Mr.

Christ took issue with the questioned the sincerity of the writer, declared that such an article published on the eve of an election wus probably promoted bv nolitical motives, and challenged the Nassau County Association to prove its figures by giving an itemized account showing the exact sources of these fees. Today Oscar Maddus. executive secretary for the association, declared that the figures had been compiled from a list of town and county bills Published In the North Hempstead Record by George M. Goodale, clerk to the Board of Supervisors. "Our article," Mr.

Maddus added, "was not Intended os a personal attack upon Mr. Christ. It was an indictment of the clumsy system of accounting used by Nassau County and a criticism of the fee system."
