LODGE ROOM IN THE NEW MASONIC TEMPLE AT FAR ROCKAWAY. Ti Queens Borough and Long Island THEIR SECOND VENTURE. Jl fl- I ill ill (I mi lit x-s if-iv: t. Ik VThUb SUM 1 WITNESSES Fill GRESSER English Expert Tells of Repairs on Hoffman Boulevard and Thomson Avenue. WORK TOO CHEAPLY DONE.

Arthur A. Johnson Says Specifications Were Strictly Followed Han-kins Tells of Garbage Contracts. Arthur A. Johnson, vice president and manager of the Hicks-Johnson Contracting Company, who received his technical education in England and was engaged there for years as a superintending engineer of const ruct ion in railways, highways and large buildings, and later was engaged by the S. Fcarson Sons as a superintending engineer of construction work of the East River tunnels of the Pennsylvania Railroad, proved an excellent witness in defense of President Grosser, at the session of the henr-1'ig before Commissioner Ordway yesterday afternoon.

It was the HUks-John-on Company that had the contract for the repair and improvement of the Hoffman boulevard and Thomson avenue, which was mentioned in the charges against President Gresser, as having gone to pieces shortly after the work was completed. During the course of his testimony Mr. Johnson took occasion to say that he called the attention ot Engineer Crowell to the specifications for the resurfacing of the highways named and referred to the work as "tissue' paper business" and said it was absurd. Thereupon, he said, Crowell remarked to him: "I agree with you. But what can I do? It is all the money I have, and the road must be repaired." Work Done According to Specifications.

Witness said on his direct examina-that that the resurfacing of these thoroughfares had been done strictly according to specifications. Contrary to ltue testimony given by other witnesses Air. Johnson testified that the old roadway was broken up for its entire width and length. He said they kept a steamroller and a scarifier busy at this process. He said, however, that the old roadway was in bad condition; that the center had been hollowed out like a gully and that In some places there were holes nearly eight inches deep, while both sides of the road projected up in ridges.

As fast as a section of the road was completed it was immediately thrown open for travel, and at V'he time of the Vanderbilt Cup race that year the road was completed except I bout 400 feet. The finished section was used by the automobiles in going to and from the races, and Mr. Johnson, in nswer to a question by Mr. Mellon, la.d that he had inspected the road on the Sunday following, and that the automobiles had simply swept off the "top surface." Following the completion of the road. Mr.

Johnson said that he went over it with former Superintendent of Highways Patrick E. Leahy, and told the superintendent that. It was wrong to allow a road like that to break up for the want of small repairs. Leahy, lie said, did not show a disposition to do anything, and the matter was finally brought to the attention of President Gresser, who said he had no money to keep the road in re-iwir, whereupon, at iheir own expense, spending several hundred dollars, the Hicks-Johnson Company sent gangs ot men out making the repairs where the road had been torn up by automobile travel. When asked what he considered the rapid deterioration of the road due to, the witness said it was the result of an endeavor to rebuild the road too cheaply.

It was absurd to attempt to repair the road that way. Dump Contract Explained by Han-kins. Superintendent Arrow C. Hawkins of the street cleaning department of Queens made a favorable impression when he testified to having saved in labor and material ahout $111,0015 a year for the city. This testimony was brought out when the subject of letting to Peter Venerable War Veteran of Riverhead Marries a Widow.

Mrs. Anna Brunka, 25 years old, who lived in two rooms In Woodhull avenue. Bay Side, with two small children, was found in a destitute condition yesterday by several neighbors.

Her husband, who worked on a farm. In Bay Side, was out of work for some time, and last fall he found It was impossible to get anything to do, and told his wife that he was going to Dazannlng, to work In the coal mines. He took what few dollars they had and went away, promising to send money back home as soon as he got a position. He failed to return. Since that time the woman has been working on various farms, but that work is very slack now and she has to depend upon the neighbors, all of whom are poor.

Her two small children handicap her greatly, and unless there is immediate relief it is probable that she will De dispossessed, because she owes several months rent.

Central Islip, L. January 27 Although for a time the disappearance of one of the female patients of the state hopsltal for the insane, a few days ago, took on a very serious aspect, it proved to be "much ado about nothing." The woman had slipped away from the hospital, and although her absence was almost immediately noticed and searching parties scoured the neighboring country and extended their search as far away as Islip and Haupptiuge, no trace was found of her, until one of the attendants came upon her calmly occupying one of the rooms In the new attendants' cottage. The cottage is hut. a short 'distance from the main Wilumgs, and the woman had decided to take permanent possession of one of the vacant rooai3 in the new building. Exhibit of State Department of Health in Four Villages Means to That End.

IT WILL BE OPENED SOON, Lawrence, Inwood, Cedarhurst and Woodmere People to Be Shown How to Combat Disease. (Special to The Fagle.) Lawrence, L. January 27 As the re sult of the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals in Lawrence, Inwood, Cedarhurst and Woodmere, the residents of those four towns will have the opportunity ol viewing one Of the seven tuberculosis exhibits prepared by the State Department of Health and used In the state campaign against tuberculosis, conducted jointly the State Charities Aid Association and the State Department of Health. The dates for the display of this ex hibit have not been decided upon, but the campaign In the Nassau towns will probably begin ln a few days and ex tend over Into February. Eighty-five per cent, of the proceeds ol the sale of the Red Cross seals goes to local anti-tuberculosis work, and tlui committee in charge of the tuberculosis movement in Lawrence, of which Peter B.

Olney and F. DeL. King, superr Intendent of the Lawrence, Cedarhurst and Inwood public schools, are activt) members, feels that the $58. to be devoted to the work in this locality, can ba expended in no better way than paying the expenses of an educational campaign that will bring graphically before the people the lacts concerning the prevention and cure of the disease. Object Is to Secure a County Hospital for Consumptives.

The exhftit which will be used in tba Nassau campaign is one of the seven which have been shown ln more than twenty up-state counties and which have visited nearly 170 towns. This campaign has resulted thus far this season in nine boards of supervisors voting to build county hospitals for the treatment of ad vanced and Incipient cases of tuberculosis. This brings the number of such hospitals authorized and ln operation up to sixteen. The whole campaign in this state is being pointed toward the bringing about of the condition of "No Uncared-for Tuber culosis in 1915." In order to make this condition true, the tuberculosis crusaders are working for. a county hospital in every county; an adequate number of dis pensaries and visiting nurses ln every city and village; the reporting of every living case of the disease to health officers, and the adequate disinfection of houses in which there has btten a case of tuberculosis that has either moved or died.
