Broadway Residents Declare They Will Use All Means to Keep Granite Off Roadway.

The fight of the Broadway Paving Committee of Flushing, of which S. M. Jackson Jacobs Is the chairman, has begun Its fight against the recent contract signed by Borough President Gresser for the paving of Broadway, from Murray Lane to Tenth street, by securing from Justice Clark, In the Supreme Court, yes terday, a temporary Injunction which will stop any further steps being taken until the legality of the contract Is tested. The order was secured by Lawyer Gilbert H. Montague of 55 Liberty street, Manhat tan the attorney for the committee.

By the terms of the order Controller Prendergast Is enjoined from certifying the contract, and Borough President Gres ser, the Publio Works Commissioner and the contractor from doing anything further until the Issues are determined. The argument will be before the Special Term of the Supreme Court on September 15, when a permanent Injunction will be asked for. Organization of the Committee. When President Gresser of Queens awarded a contract for the repavlng. with granite blocks of a restricted section of Broadway, Flushing, about two miles In length, stretching, from Murray lane to Tenth street, Bay Side, he stirred up an opposition among prominent and wealthy residents of that section which probably will require the action of a Supreme Court to settle.

Declaring that at the outset President Gresser acted In bad faith by awarding the contract' Immediately following a hearing held in the Borough Hall In Long Island City last week, after. It Is alleged, had promised a committee of protesting property owners that no action would be taken for at least several days, the small army of Indignant property owners have formed an organization, elected officers, engaged counsel and have raised funds to fight the granite-block paving in and out of the courts. S. M. Jackson Jacobs, B.

F. Egan, William H. Sullivan, Ira L. Terry, Judge William Rasquin, Charles K. Olsen, Edward J.

Sullivan aid M. Bouggy compose the, committee who have the light in hand, and they have engaged the services of Attorney Gilbert H. Montague of 65 Liberty street, Manhattan, to take buch legal steps as the committee may deem necessary. Handsome Residences on the Avenue, Dotted with handsome country homes, costing from $12,000, to $80,000, residents of Broadway do not see why the city has seleoted this thoroughfare for the trying out or a new granite block pavement. According to the engineers of Queens, the pavement selected for Broadway is what is Known as Improved granite blocks.

They are somewhat smaller than the old-fashioned Belgian block, are cut smooth, which, according to the engineers, permits their being laid close together, thus rendering the pavement more compact. In repavlng Broadway, it Is proposed to dig or "scarify" the old madam, place a bed of sand over It, and on ton of the sand lay the paving blocks. A concrete binder, six feet wide and sixteen feet deep on either side of the thoroughfare, is expected to act as a binder, holding the pavement in place horizontally. This sort of a roadway is all right, the committee says, for a business thoroughfare, where the traffic is heavy, but to use a restricted residential street for the purpose of trying an alleged experimental pavement, they claim is an outrage and a waste of public funds. Member of Committee Describes Con ditions.

"Just Imagine this roadway on a nice summer day, with the noise and clatter arising from the passing of travel over the paved blocks," said a member of the committee, in an interview. "Why, it win arive us rrom our homes. It will turn this beautiful thoroughfare Into a trucking highway, and residents who have spent thousands of dollars In beautify ing ineir nomes will be compelled to move. 'Aside from this question, however. there is another phase, and that Is one of economy.

This experimental granite diock pavement is to cost the city and the taxpayers $124,425, and we learn from competent engineers that a smooth pavement can be laid over this entire stretch of Broadway for two-thirds less cost. By placing the money thus Baved on in terest at 4 per It will pay for maintenance of the road after the smo'oth pavement is laid. According to the au thorities of yueens, they regard Broadway as a 'business when in reality there Is not a single shop on its entire length. When speaking of the necessity of granite block for so-called business thoroughfares, they fail to men tion that the Merrick road, the-Jamaica and Hempstead turnpikes, the College i'oint causeway and Jackson avenue, from the Courthouse In Long Island City to Woodside, which carry more than ten times the amount of traffic that passes over Broadway, are all paved with smooth pavement. Why not lay granite blocks on the roads mentioned If a pavement of that kind is demanded by 'business thoroughfares'? Says There's No Politics in the Movement.

'Furthermore, I want to state emphat ically that there is no polities in this movement; no feeling of personal resent ment and revenge; no pique. We feel that as property owners we have the right to protect our homeB against the misguided efforts oftpublle officials, and this we propose doing to the utmost. A fund is being raised and an application will be made to the courts for an injunction restraining the contractor from go ing anead with the work. We shall base our application, probably, for an injunc tion on the grounds that the work is un businesslike, and a waste of public funds, and In addition to the courts, If necessary we will carry our fight to Albany. The entire scheme Is simply to build nn experimental road with the city's money, and we don't propose that this road be lnid in front of our homes.

At present Broadway is very much out of repair, but we prefer the road In Its present condition to the granite block. The talk that later a smooth pavement may be laid on Broadway, when that thoroughfare Is opened to Its full width, Is only a subterfuge, for according to our understanding of the Miller Act in relation to highways, the mere laying of the propesrd new pavement on Broadway takes it out of what is known as class pavement, and places it in class A pave ment, which makes it a granite block paved thoroughfare. "Considered altogether, the borough officials of Queens have not acted in good faith with the residents of Broadway, and they are smarting under this Insult." "MAYOR" A FIREMAN. Babylon, L. September 9 Edward Alley, the president of the village, figured as a fire fighter yesterday.

Coroner Finds That Conditions Might Be Improved. Baldwin, L.

September 9 Justice of the Peace Corodon Norton and officials of the Long Island Railroad made an inspection yesterday afternoon of the tracks, signals and approaches of the Grand avenue crossing, where George Massie and' his housekeeper and nurse. Miss Harriet Ingersoll, met death when the Patehogue express, speeding at nearly fifty miles an hour, plowed into the, automobile In which they were riding, hurling the wreckage 111 feet, beyond the spot where It was struck. It was found that an autolst could not tell whether a train was coming in the event of failure of the bell, until it was witnin aDout 200 feet east of -the station. A building blocks the view from the -west for cars northbound, which. should the bell fail, would bring about a serious condition.

The building. It is understood, Is on railroad property. REDMOND FACES NEW CHARGE Accused of Maiming Arthur McGow' in Was Once Discharged. Southampton, L. September 9 It Is very evident that the case against Thomas Redmond, a butler for B.

Ogden Chlsholm, who was charged with assault some time ago by Arthur McGowln, was not altogether settled when the former was discharged at that time. Redmond was rearrested yesterday, this time on a charge of maiming, on proceedings In stltuted by Harry M. Howell, counsel for McGowin. These two young men engaged In a mixup early In the summer, and as a re suit of the melee McGowln is supposed to have received a bad cut on his left shoulder from falling against a pane of glass. A short time after he charged Redmond with assault, but.

failed to ap pear, and the accused was released. In connection with the failure of the plaintiff to appear in court. It was ru mored that a money settlement was promised by the defendant, but the latter says he offered to settle before the first charge was made, and that settlement was refused. This disagreement Is believed to be the cause of the second arraignment on a different charge. Mr.

and Mrs. B. O. Chlsholm, who occupy the Vynecraft cottage here, have become Interested In the case, and when $1,000 bail was asked the forrfier ob tained it for Redmond. Lawyer Cottillis, a friend of the family, took up the case, but failed In obtaining a dismissal of tne cnarge oi maiming yesterday morn The trial was set for Monday morn ing, when both sides will, have arranged their case.

BROOKLYN BOYS IN CAMP. Colored Lads Had a Fine Time at Manorville, L. I. About 110 colored boys, many of them from Brooklyn, recently returned from a very pleasant vacation In camp this Summer at Manorville, L. about sixty-seven miles They were located on ten acres of.

land hired by the Mount Taber Fresh Air Association, and tents were pitched about a mile and a quarter from the station. With Mr. Hubert and Mr. Thomas as guides, the boys spent much of their time In the open air. There was a ball field and nearby a tall flagpole.

A swimming pool was an added attraction, and it furnished a great deal of pleasure for the boys after the recent heavy rains. The camp has been conducted in groups of twenty-five, but the Brooklyn lads took the lead in many things. They left on August 26 and ar rived In camp that evening. They were welcomed by R. 1.

the chef of the camp, who had prepared a big supper for the party. The boys usually were drilled In gymnastics, and many forms Of sport were arranged by Messrs. Thomas and Hubert. Archibald Thomas helped train the boys in gymnastics and other sports, none of which they enjoyed more than tossing a boy from a blanket into the The boys have made themselves amenable to the discipline, although some of them came from among the roughest districts in the city and others from better neighborhoods. The Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, In East Twenty-second street, with George E.

Haynes as director and Eugene Knirkle Jones as secretary, made it possible for these boys to have a good time. The late Dr. John B. Devlns gave the railroad fares, and thus assisted the committee In its work. WEDDINGS AT COLLEGE POINT.

A. KNAUBER, I OPTICIAN 19 Bond St. Brooklyn MUST MUFFLE EXIST; ON ALL W10T0HB0ATS Law Went Into Effect Ten Days Ago, but Some Disregard Provisions. OFFICIALS DO NOT HEED IT. In Some Harbors and Bays, However Law Is Being Fairly Obeyed.

There has been considerable complaint made by property owners along tha shore at various points on Long Island that they are disturbed at nearly all hours of the night by the noise of the explosive engine launches and motor-boats of various. kinds that ply the waters of the harbors and bays. A new law that went Into effect September 1 makes It a misdemeanor to operate such craft without mufflers, but in many sections the law has been almost entirely Ignored, and the police and, bay constables do not seem to be aware of the existence of such an enactment. The principal complaint comes from Hammels and other points along the Ja maica Bay front of Rockaway Beach, where no pretence is made as to obeying the statute by the scores of motorboats. plying on the bay.

At Glen Cove and Sea Cliff a few boats are equipped with mufflers, but enough are still "put-putting" over the waters of Hempstead Harbor noisily enough to awaken anyone from a profound slumber and destroy a possible good night's rest. These sleep-destroyers are still at work in Patehogue, and at Freeport, although mufflers are being gradually introduced. The owners, it is said, had ample time to make the necessary change before the law took effect and should be prevented, it is claimed, from running their craft until the change i made. i. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L.

September 9 In spits of many reports of flagrant disregard in various localities of the new law reaulring mufflers on all motor-driven craft, there has been evidently a marked tendency on the part of Huntington boai owners to comply with the law. During the National Motor Boat Car nival on Huntington Bay this week. when the bay was crowded with boats of, every description, it was noticeable that, practically every one of the engines was muffled. The high-speed boats, of course, were without mufflers, but among the ordinary craft there were few violations. New Law Ignored at Patehogue, L.

September 9 Although the new law compelling motorboats to have mufflers placed upon their engines while traveling through the tidewaters ot the state went Into effect last Friday, few, If any, of the powerboats In this section have appeared to take notice of ft. The Eagle reporter took a trip along the river front today and learned that some motorboat owners had arranged to have mufflers placed on their craft, while others seemed to be totally Ignorant of tha new law. The reporter asked the Government inspector and the town constable it they had any Jurisdiction in seeing that the law was obeyed, but they botn claimed it was not up to them. The bay constable could not be found, but many, seem to think that It is up to him to gels after the violators of the new law. RICHMOND HILL WEDDINGS.

REVEALS LIFE OF Thomas Place Was One of the Founders of Old Fulton Market. BORN IN NEW YORK IN 1781. W. S. Place of Lynbrook, His Grandson, Has Interesting Documents Found in Trunk.

Lynbrook, L. September 9 In the bottom of an old-fashioned iron-bound trunk, for more than a century had been in the family, Ellphlet Oakley of Hempstead, and her daughter, Mrs. William recently found a rare of many of which date back, to the sixteenth century. The trunk, which was left at Mrs. Isaac Super's home, at 77 Middagh street, Brooklyn, at the death of her father, Thomas Place, in 1S52, when discovered had probably not beeu opened for half a century.

W. S. Place, a real estate man here, into whose hands the trunk and its contents have fallen as heir, discovered a portrait of his ancestor, who was one of the founders of Fulton Market in Manhattan, and later a wedding certificate hidden in the bottom of the trunk, among other papers. A diary was among the interesting effects recovered. The hiBtory of elder Mr.

riace's career was found in the family Bible which la also in the possession of the present Mr. Place of Lynbrook. Born of Yankee stock in the lower part of Manhattan Island, Thomas Place began his life December 6, 1781, when farms on Manhattan were a reality. There was a respectable cowpath down Broadway and a road ran In and out of farms called Pearl lane, named because of the oyster shells with which It was paved. When Mr.

Place completed his studies in the free school he began to trade with the Indians and as the savages grew more cunning In their dealings with the whites, Place started a trading center, where the present Fulton Market now stands. In the same spot he later erected a butcher stand, where, until the time of his death, it still stood. Place became famous In Manhattan for his venison steaks. People came miles from Westchester and even from Brooklyn to buy venison from Mr. Place' shop.

It was at the booth that Phebe Taner, a blushing young woman from upper New York, first saw the stalwart Thomas Place. They were married on July 17, 1803, by John C. Bunse, Protestant minister nt New York. The Places, like most people of those early days, raised a big family and spent forty-six years of married life together. Mrs.

Place died In her sixty-eighth year. Although Mr. Place whs still active, he retired from business shortly after the death of his wife and went, to Brooklyn, where he took up a residence. Hr a time Mr. Place lived at East Meadow, L.

and Mrs. Josephine Oakley of Babylon, whose family ran the famous Oakley Grist Mill, became a mem ber of the Place family through mar riage. The present W. S. Place In this village is a grandson of Thomas Place and Thebe Taner.

Judge Humphrey Trying: to Have James Kelly Pardoned. County Judge Burt J.

Kelly has Interested the judge in the letters he has written in the past and the judge has interceded with Governor Dlx to pardon the man.

The letter which the judge has just received contains these, with other sentences: "I am deeply thankful to you for having written to the Governor in my behalf, and even should I not be released, I will remain grateful for your efforts to help me back to decency. "I still have two years to serve, and if the Governor believes I have not been sufficiently punished to date, I will put the time to good use. Still I would regret to let pass the opportunity I have been offered to step out into the world and into a position offered by those who knew of and yet were willing to disregard my past. "it would Reem that a man's release from orison does not alwavs dlseharec his debt to Boctety. In many instances it Is but the beginning of his struggles.

"There should he pome good will offered the discharged prisoner; not that society owes anything to such a man, but to better protect itself by meeting him half way. It is inconceivable to think that any sane man, who has weighed the points and who has seen the futility of a criminal life, will voluntarily return to It after his release from prison. How evcr- thr'Te hundreds of men who have never been In prison and who have the same problems of livelihood to face, and they should be considered prior to he who has had a chance and abused it. No doubt results gained by unaided efforts are the true tcRt of the man. But your good will has helped me more than you know of.

perhaps, and I hope I can have it some day when dreams come true." TENT CITY IS CLOSED. Summer Sojourners Sorry to Pack Up and Flit Away. ivanertivp homes In Brooklyn. Manhattan and other points.
