5 QUEENS BOROUGH AND LONG ISLAND 24 TIMES IN BACK WITH ICEPICK Richmond Hill Italian Dying in Hospital at Jamaica--Alleged Stabber Caught. VICTIM IDENTIFIES HIM. Quarrel Began in Italy Several (Years Ago-Rockaway Beach Scene of Less Serious Stabbing. Two stabbing affrays, one at Richmond Hill, which may prove a murder before the day is -out, and the other at Rockaway Beach, in which one man was painfully but not fatally wounded, took place yes: terday afternoon and evening. In both cases Italians were implicated.

A sectional quarrel, which began in Italy several years ago, was renewed last evening at Richmond Hill and 1 resulted in the probably fatal injury of one party, who stabbed at least twenty-four times in the back with an icepick and had his skull fractured. The injured man, Alvino Alvaro, a stone mason, 28 years old, of 722 Gould street, Richmond Hill, who was attacked by three or four of his countrymen (he is not sure of the number) in the hallway of his home, is now in St. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica, in a precarious condition. It was said at the hospital late this morning that he cannot possibly survive. Suspect Identified by Victim of Stabbing.

Shortly after the affair in the Gould street house the police arrested Andrew Di Bene of same address. He is beting held as a material witness. Three hours after the stabbing Giuseppe Leonof 70 Campion avenue, Jamaica, was found by Detectives 'Capone, White and Ennis, hiding under a bed in an upstairs room of the Gould street house. He had covered himself with a mattress. Near him, on the floor, was found a bloodstained icepick that had been sharpened to a keen point.

The left shoulder of the prisoner's coat had been slashed as though by a razor, but he had not been wounded. Leonicci denied any knowledge of the assault upon Alvaro, who, it appeared to the police and the surgeons, at first, had been shot. The wounds in his back were so round and even that it was thought they were inflicted by a gun, until the detectives found the icepick. Leonicci taken to the hospital and was positively identifled by Alvaro as one of the men who attacked him. According to Alvaro, the men who attacked him, at least two of whom he recognized as enemies from the other side, called at his home last evening and invited him outside.

He got as far as the hallway. They exchanged a few words with him and then pounced upon him. One of the men stabbed him in the back with the icepick. As he lay on the floor, partly conscious, Alvaro said, one of his assailants kicked his head several times. Then the men fled.

years old, an Italian, living at 50 North Division avenue, right side and in the right forefinger yesRockaway Beach, was he stabbed in the terday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock during an altercation in the yard of his home. Madalata got into a heated argument over some question, just what the police have been unable to ascertain, with John Mancine, 33 years old, who resides in house, a and during the altercation which followed, Mancine is alleged to have drawn a knife and stabbed Madalata twice. Madalata was attended by Dr. Edward Friedman and later was removed to the Rockaway Beach Hospital, where it is said he will recover. Mancine was arrested by Detectives Ennis and Toomey, and was identified by Madalata as the who had assaulted him.

nan, Mancine was arraingned in the Far Rockaway court this morning on a charge of felonious assault, and held until Madalata is able to appear against him. LONG ISLAND OBITUARY. John Heil.

IL'1 SUFFOLK COUNTY'S CORNER AT THE SYRACUSE STATE FAIR. How the Exhibit Made Through the L. I. R. Experiment Station Looked to Fairgoers.

PLAN WATERFRONT CITY ON JAMAICA BAY'S SHORE Proposed Improvement Is Outlined by Dock Commissioner Tomkins. $1,250,000 FOR INITIAL WORK. Miles of Bulkheads, Piers, Marginal Streets, Belt Railroads and Warehouses Are Proposed. Chief Engineer Charles W. Stanford of the Dock Department has submitted; to Commissioner Calvin Tomkins a set of drawings giving sixteen studies illustrating as many possible methods of of the waterfront of 'New development, as evolved by him after a visit to the harbors of Europe and to the principal ports on the Atlantic coast of this country.

Nine of the principal ones refer to the improvement of Jamaica Bay. "The general scheme for development is based on broad principles, which," says Engineer Stanford, "should form a part of any proposed general These include an adequate channel of approach to follow along a pierhead line; exterior limit for all pier construction; an inner shore or bulkhead line parallel with the pierhead line and so arranged as to permit piers of any desired length or the establishment in places of a bulkbead line back of the shore front where it may be necessary to dig back into the upland to obtain longer plers, as was done in the case of the Chelsea piers on the North River front of Manhattan. What the General Scheme Includes. The general scheme includes also the establishment of a marginal way extendlug along the bulkhead line parallel therewith with any desired width, intended to provide an area within which any particular form of development may be constructed, company warehouses, classification and distribution yards, factory sites and railroad connection with piers and warehouses, and in turn, with a belt line for general distribution to main railroad connections; also tranverse and possibly a longitudinal street system for truck and vehicular traffic, sewer locations and a marginal street area. The Jamaica Bay studies include the following: Study No.

1 provides for the tion of solid-filled piers of any desired length with broad slips between. Upon and along the bulkhead sheds may be erected with a connecting or exterior street extending in front and parallel therewith, carrying railroad connections with the piers and with a series of warehouses with storage and distribution yards for freight cars, the tracks being arranged and spaced for the accommodation of trucking between. In study it is proposed to establish a marginal way with a width of 1,700 feet, the warehouses to extend in blocks laid out transverse to the water front about 680 feet long from the exterior street to a 100-foot street in the rear, which carries a double track belt railroad. This belt line has nections with all of the warehouses directly, and certain points it will connect by branches with the main railroad lines. of the big trunk system which are already making preparations to secure terminal sites on the bay.

Marginal Street Forms Interior Boundary of the Entire Tract. Inshore of the belt line with block lengths of 680 feet, the area may be occupied by factory sites between the belt line and the marginal street. The marginal street, 100 feet in width, forms the interior boundary of the whole tract above described, as the marginal way, with borough direct street connections system, at of grade which with it will the be the base or foundation, affords a location for intercepting storm water sewers and the outlet of disposal plants with main discharges through transverse streets to the outer ends of the piers. These transverse streets of the Queens system will end at the belt railroad line, except at frequent intervals; then the streets of the borough running in a northerly and southerly direction will be carried over the belt line, and thence down to grade again at the exterior street, these overhead crossings to have stairway communications each way, either on or near the belt line. The piers are to have two-story freight sheds, one alongside of the pier, with five-foot clearance between the waterfront of the pier and the sheds.

Between these freight sheds there is an open way, along which railroad tracks may extend, connecting with each freight shed. Between the railroad tracks the space may be used for trucking. For loading directly into trucks from the upper story of the sheds there are at frequent intervals overhead passageways leading from the upper story over the car tracks to the uncovered space, with chutes on both tracks for loading from the upper story directly into trucks. Moving cranes or cargo hoists may be installed upon the roof of each of these sheds along the sides of the Mer. System Regarded as an Excellent One The above seems to be the most comprehensive system of any proposed, and it can be carried out without involving an enormous cost for the acquisition of the necessary land, as the entire belt to be taken is low-priced, virgin territory, the most of it low-lying meadow that could be filled in with the excavation from the bay to be carried out next year jointly by the United States Government and the city, which are to expend jointly at once upon the initial taking $1,250,000.

Other studies provide for broad piers, the factories to be built on them, and the slips between the piers to be wide enough to enable the ships to be tied up along the bulkhead. Under the provisions of the Cullen law, the city may acquire land as far back from the bayfront as in the judgment of the city officials may be necessary to carry out the general so scheme, and may condemn where the owner will not sell. It may also build all the necessary warehouses and factories and sell or lease them, and resell the property 1.0 private manufacturing concerns under restrietions such as it may see fit, and build I belt line or marginal railroads, GRAVEL WAR ENDED. President of Freeport Accepts Cargo of Road Material. Freeport, L.

September 18-President John D. Gunning, acting as a committee of one representing the board of trustees, ended a bitter war over gravel, for which the village of Freeport is spending $50,000 for roads, when at a meeting of the trustees on Friday night he accepted a cargo of Hudson River gravel from the John R. Fleming Company. This gravel, which, it was charged, was partly composed of a worthless refuse from a brick yard at Roeston, N. instead of from the Lynch gravel bank near by, was sent to Freeport, although the order had been countermanded at the Blissville dock at Long Island City.

3,000 SEE CORNERSTONE LAID Fine Parochial School for Our Lady of Sorrows Church at Corona. Over 3,000 persons attended the mony of the cornerstone laying of the new parochial school of Our Lady of Sorrows Church on Grant street, Corona, yesterday afternoon. The Holy Name Society and the councils of the Knights of Columbus of the neighboring churches took part in the affair. Many priests from the parishes of Long Island City, Brooklyn and Manhattan were present. The procession started from the church to the building on Grant street, where the stone was blessed and placed in position.

The Very Rev. Dean Corrigan, rector, and the Rev. Cornelius Duffy, assistant, acted as the masters of the ceremonies. The Right Rev. Monsignor Kaupert, V.

of Brooklyn, laid the cornerstone. The sermon was delivered by the Very Rev. William J. McGuirl, rector of St. Michael's Church, Brooklyn and chaplain of the Police Department in the Borough of Brooklyn and Queens.

The school will front 108 feet on Grant street, with a depth of 64 feet, with an addition for the stage. The building will be four stories, built of brick, with Indiana limestone trim, and Dean Corrigan estimates the cost will be over $85,000. There will be nineteen classrooms. The largest hall, on the ground floor, will seat 1,000 persons. The ceilings will be twenty-seven feet in height, and the hall will be equipped with the finest electric light system of any public hall in the Borough of Queens.

The building will be entirely completed and furnished some time next summer, be ready for school work in September, 1912. GIRL STRANGELY MISSING. The police have been asked to And Elsa Krohlman, 13 years old, of 933 Ward street, Morris Park, who disappeared from her home last Monday night. The girl's father, who keeps a barber shop at Atlantic avenue, near Lefferts, Morris Park, and her mother, are almost frantic from grief. Elsa, who is large and well developed for her age, took with her when she left a suitcase containing clothing.

She wore her best dress and hat and had about $20 in cash. As she is not known to have love affair a and had at no time expressed dissatisfaction with her home surroundings, her parents are puzzled to know just what prompted her to leave. Since going away, Elsa has been seen at different times by friends in the streets at Richmond Hill. Each time she was seen with other girls. For a time the police worked on the theory that the girl had been enticed from home by some young man.

Barber Krohlman's expressed suspicion that a man formerly employed by him in his shop might know something about his daughter's disappearance seemed to give some color to this theory, but man's former employe, who was easily located, proved to the satisfaction of the police that he could have had nothing to do with the case. FARMER BADLY HURT. Andrew Douglass of Blackstump road, near Union turnpike, Jamaica, while driving a farm truck at Jamaica avenue and Suydam street, Woodhaven, last night, was accidentally struck by a trolley car of the B. R. T.

line, thrown to the roadway and severely injured. Four ribs on the left side were fractured and the farmer received other hurts as well. He was attended and removed to St. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica. BATHERS TAKE LAST DIP.

LEADERS COULDN'T LEAD; INGRATITUDE IS CHARGED Delegates at Suffolk Republican Convention Split Up Their Votes as Never Before.

RIVERHEAD NEARLY "SOLID." Voted as a Unit for All Nominees Except -Came Near a Split 0n1 Superintendent of Poor. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. September 18-The way the various towns in Suffolk split up their delegates in the Republican County Convention here, and the apparent ingratitude of some of the towns, is causing considerable discussion. The fact is that a new order of things in voting for nominees seems to be at hand, for never before have the delegates split up to the extent shown this year. Some towns with but two delegates divided them between two nominees.

Of course, where a town had a candidate for nomination, that town gave that candidate a full vote, but the leader of the town was, in most cases, unable to "deliver" his town solid to any other candidate. There were exceptions, of course. Take the vote on sheriff. Islip gave Rogers twelve of its sixteen votes and Brush the remainder; Riverhead gave Rogers three and Brush four; Brookhaven gave Rogers five and Brush sixteen; Southold gave its solid thirteen to Brush and delivered Shelter Island's two with them, making fifteen votes, really, from Southold. Had these been cast for Rogers, he would have defeated Brush.

Where the Alleged Ingratitude Comes In. Now this is where some of the ingratitude complained of comes in. Southold really nominated Brush, but as soon as Southold asked for support for its candidate for superintendent of poor, Smithtown split its vote in two and gave half to each Southold candidate and half to Huntington's, and Huntington didn't deliver quite as many votes to Brush's support as did Southold. Southold likewise cast all but one of its votes for Greene for District Attorney, but Islip town, in return for 'the compliment, would give Southold's superintendent of poor candidate only half its votes. Riverhead voted solidly on all nominees but one-sheriff-but one of the delegates, Clifford Rowley, says he wasn't consulted as to how he should cast his vote.

Finally he objected, and kicked hard, and it required a deal of persuasion on the part of Postmaster Lane, who was not one of the delegates, but who was asked to talk to Mr. Rowley, to get Mr. Rowley back in line 80 the town could cast a solid vote for Reeve for superintendent of poor. That vote was being taken when Mr. Rowley kicked about someone else casting his vote for him and not consulting him first, and he had decided to vote as he wanted to, once, but later was induced to change his mind.

But in most cases, as is shown by the badly split up vote in every town on every question, most of the delegates voted as they wanted to and not as their leaders would have them. This is true of Brookhaven. Undoubtedly the leader there would liked to have had a solid vote for Greene from Brookhaven, but two of them escaped. Huntington was the only town that voted solidly all the way through. YACHT CLUB ENDS YEAR.

Motorboat Races and Bal Masque Enjoyed at Bay Head Organization. Motorboat races in the afternoon and a bal masque in the evening practically closed the summer season at the Bay Head Club, Hook Creek, Meadowmere, on Saturday. The motorYacht. boat races were strictly a club event, entries being restricted to club members only, and the boats made a fine showing. Between twenty-five and thirty craft were entered, ranging in size from sixteen feet to fifty feet, and they were divided into classes C.

First and second prizes were awarded in each class. The prizes were of handsome silver cups. Iris, owned by Charles Tonsor, was the winner of Class A. Daisy, which belongs to L. Stremble, came in second, and Magda, the property of S.

Hartell, came in third in this class. The winner of Class was the Muzzie, owned by Frank Delany, which made a very creditable showing in the class. Lena, owned by Captain Howard Griffin, came 1n second, and Edwin Sutphin's Arrawana, was third. The Class race was won by The Kid, with the Frieda second and Willow, third. The race was over committee, a seven course.

The regatta consistling of H. L. Meeker, Edward Broderick and Jerry Weinberg, certainly did themselves credit for the able manner in which the races were managed. In the evening the ballroom of the club was the scene of a masquerade dance, which was very largely attended. The cups for the races were given out there.

BUYS VILLA ON THE DUNES. Westhampton Beach, L. September 18-Dr. William F. Dudley of Brooklyn.

who has been a summer resident here for several years, has purchased from Lawyer Martin T. Manton the Wray cottage, on the dunes. DR. GADMAN TO LECTURE. Westhampton Beach, L.

September 18-The Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn will lecture to -night at chanics Hall, on "The Modern Babylon." (Special to The Eagle.) Sag Harbor, L. September 18-Further plans of Mrs.

Russell Sage for mental and physical instruction of the young people of this village will be carried out this fall and winter. It is proposed to conduct a night school, and the Atheneum, or some other suiable hall, will be leased for the purpose. Classes in rudimentary English, spelling and writing will be formed, and a special instructress employed by Mrs. Sage has already arrived in Sag Harbor to start the educational movement. There will be instruction in gymnastics and physical culture, as well.

Mrs. Sage's object is to maintain during the winter the interest which has been manifest at Mashashimuet Park and playground, where junior and senior classes have been trained in athletics by Director Atkinson of the National Playgound Association, and track meets and field sports conducted in specially arranged classes, according to weight and lage, for awards to be given by the patroness and founder of the playground. Director Atkinson's assistant has also organized primary classes in horticulture, although the season has been dry and backward, some of the flower garden plots allotted to and cared for by the children competing for prizes have elicited much admiration and are a credit to the children and their teachers. Night School Will Help Foreign-Born Population. Recognizing that for the most part the population of Sag Harbor is made up of operatives employed in the big factories here, many of them foreigners, lacking education, the night school will be established to give these young people an opportunity to secure free instruction after working hours.

'The John Jermain Library, a memorial gift of Mrs. Sage, is well stocked with scientific reference books, and will be kept open three nights in the week from 7 to 9 o'clock. Upward of 3,000 books are drawn from the library weekly. Mrs. Sage has expended over $100,000 on this memorial to her grandfather, John Jermain, who resided in Sag Harbor a century ago.

When the project of the night school was first broached the auditorium of Pierson High School, toward building which Mrs. Sage donated $50,000, was considered as a suitable schoolroom, but the fact that the big building is located nearly a mile from the business center of the village precluded its selection. Industrial School May Be Established Later. The establishment of an Industrial school here, in connection with the Pierson High School, toward building which Mrs. Sage gave large sums of money, is now under advisement, and may be taken up at a later date.

Improvements at Mashashimuet Park g0 steadily forward vast sums of money are to be expended. The beautiAcation of the grounds surrounding Otter Pond, now included in the playground, keeps a force of laborers at work. The rank growth underbrush skirting the south shore of the pond has been removed, all houses and shops bought by Mrs. Sage to clear a way for a shore boulevard moved off or torn down, and the view of the park from Main street is now unobstructed. At the park grounds this season local societies have taken advantage of Mrs.

Sage's invitation to hold outings and picnics in the well groves. A dining pavilion, with fully equipped kitchen attached, is at the disposal of the visitors. and tennis courts, croquet grounds, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, dressing rooms and shower baths have been provided for the entertainment and comfort of all who care to use them. Contrary to her usual custom Mrs. Sage has not during the summer occupied her Harbor Home, on Main street, but her interest in the uplift and welfare of Sag Harbor and its people shows no diminution.
