NOBLE STREET, 125, three-story single COURTS MAY FIX EAGLE TICKET. Tammany Will Try to Prevent Substitution of Names Lawyers Say It Can Be Done. Crete reasons thnt bodies give for the opposition to this measure, which If divined iniquitous and partial, are threefold. The first is that it alms at the Impoverishment of the people who are least able to bear It and that despite all legislation the tenant has finally to pay for it. The second reason appeals to all classes, because the tax makes New York City pay half of the entire amount that Is collected throughout the state under the law.

The third and lesser reason is that it has failed In every respect to meet the expectations of Its promulgators and has turned out a fizzle. Representatives of the association are impressing these reasons upon property holders not only in Brooklyn and Manhattan, but throughout Long Island and In the principal cities of the state, and indications are strongly pointing to a vigorous and harsh opposition to the continuance of the tax. The Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers has at last signed incorporation papers and elected a directorate. Most of the big brokers iu Brooklyn, It is claimed, either have been or will be allied with this effort to legitimize the brokerage business of the borough. Its formulators predict success for It in the near future.

This organization also opposes the mortgage tax. The latest move of the Allied Real Estate Interests has been to send out Inquiries to each of the several candidates for Assembly with a view to learning their attitude In the event of their election, toward the mortgage tax. Several replies already received by the secretary distinctly favor the repeal of the measure, and, in consideration of the present campaign struggle, It Is expected that every candidate will come out in favor of repealing the law. Speeches nave been made in opposition to the tax throughout the upper part of the state during the week, with the result that the membership has been materially Increased. Thp Brooklyn office of the association will be opened on Montague street early next week, where all HE past week In the Brooklyn realty market has been one of exceptional activity, contrasted with the three or lour weeks Just pre km iiai.

The political situation has exerted no appreciable influence on the market, according to tho brokers, who unite in denying its Influence either for good or bad. This is contrary to experience shown In previous years but many reasons ar given for the condition. The first is that all three of the candidates for the Mayoralty are agreed on the question bt municipal ownership, at least upon the fact that it is desirable and should be effected if possible and as soon as possible.

Wallin A Bauman, 800 Snedlker ave William Travers Jerome was made the Republican candidate for District Attorney of New York County last night by the unanimous vote of the reconvened convention. His name is to be substituted on the ballot, unless the procedure is blocked by the Board of Elections or the courts, for that of Charles A. Flanimer.

Abe Gruber and the other enemies of Jerome staid away. William Halpin moved that the vote by which Judge Flammer was nominated, be reconsidered and that Jerome be substituted in his place. Halpin has been a Jerome man from the start. His friends said it took some courage In him to stand up for Jerome in the caucus of district leaders preceding the original convention, and to vote for the nomination of the District Attorney in the convention as one of a small minority. Odell, too, many say, has been misjudged in.

this matter. It has become pretty clear that the first convention got away from them. Several legal opinions have been obtained from lawyers of the highest standing that Jerome can be placed on the ticket. If the Democratic election commissioners refuse to certify the name an appeal will be made to the courts for relief and a mandamus. The mention of Jerome's name in the convention last nigh; aroused the greatest enthusiasm.

Mr. Halpin did most of the talking and the business' was finished in twenty minutes. Senator N. A. Elsberg, now Mr.

Ivins' campaign manager, presided. William C. Wilson, of the Twenty-fifth District, moved thajtthe vote taken by. the convention in nominating Charles A. Fiam-mer for District Attorney be When this motion had been carried William Halpin said: "Mr.

Flammer took the action because he believed he was not acting in accordance with the traditions of the party by putting himself against the candidacy of Mr. Jerome. I have been requested by the County Executive Committee, moved by the same spirit of unselfishness that dominated Mr. Flammer, to place before this convention the name of William Travers Jerome as the candidate of the Republican party for District Attorney of the county of New York." The name was received with, cheering. Samuel S.

Koenlg. of the Sixteenth Assembly District, seconded the nomination. He said: "The action of Mr. Halpin in nominating Mr. Jerome has already been approved by the people of New York, and Mr.

Jerome will be the next District Attorney. The Republican party always has listened to the voice of the people, and is willing at all times to make any sacrifice in their cause. The East Side, a part of which I especially applauds this action. It loves Mr. Jerome, not merely as a politician, but a loyal, true hearted man and its friend." Representative Herbert Parsons, of the Twenty-fifth District, said the nomination was not only unusual but courageous.

"It i the one thing," he said, "that marks the difference between the Republican party, which stands for honesty, and Tammany Hall, which stands for graft." Ernest Hall, of the Thirty-fifth District, said the Republican party always was ready to correct mistakes. ''Our action to-night seals the election of Ivlns," said he. One ballot was cast by the secretary for Mr. Jerome on motion of Judge Otto A. Rosulsky.

Albert T. Huntington, president of the club, presided.

J. C. Dana, librarian of the Newark Free Public Library, spoke on the subject "Making a Library Known," and Miss Helen E. Haines, managing editor of the Library Journal, on "Notes on Recent Books." Both addresses were followed by an open discussion, after which light refreshments were served. Miss Haines spoke of the novels of the present year, which seemed in a degree typical of the tastes and tendencies of the times.

Fashions in fiction, she said, run the gamut of variation, reaction and modifl- cation, just much as fashions in clothes; and though there are always some that stand apart and may pass unscathed through the years, the majority are soon unregarded and forgotten. Nevertheless, the present-day novels show good workmanship, bettor writing, more discriminating analysis of character, a keener appreciation of the picturesque and greater facility of expression. The novels of the year, in Miss Haines' opinion, which should take the hiehest rank are Mrs. Wharton's "House of Mirth," Dr. Weir Mitchell's "Constance Trescott," Eden Philpott's "The Secret Woman," Maurice Hewlett's "The Fool's Errant," despite its morbid Robert Hicben's "The Garden of Allah," and "The Moral of Marcus Ordeyne," by W.

J. Locke. Mr. Dana's paper on the general topic of library advertising proved interesting and instructive. The, first and best of all agencies, said Mr.

Dana is the delivery desk where more people learn what the library is, how it conducts itself, what it wishes to do, and what it is doing in the community, than anywhere else. Of all outside agencies, however, the newspaper is the chief help in making a library known. Modern newspapers are almost invariably willine to Insert brief notices concerning tfce library's plans and ambitions, changes and modifications of system, methods, receipts and expenditures. The catalogue or printed book lists and bulletins are the next chief agency for. advertising a library.

These lists, if brief and devoted to a-me one particular topic, will be of great advantage to tho reading public. The schools come next in importance. Every teacher can and should win for the library each year forty or fifty friends in her pupils and. through them, to advocacy and in a measure to its use alomn as many families. Every library should have a special room in which meetings, educational, charitable and civic, could be held.

Such meetings could do much toward making a library known. Study clubs an dvolunteer organizations of all kinds, circular and personal notes, posters and bulletins, all do their share toward calling attention to the library. Another valuable means of drawing people to the institution is by library exhibitions, either of material belonging to the Ibrary itself, or of paintings or otber things lent for the purpose. In a city such as Brooklyn, delivery and deposit stations bring a library to the very doors of many people who never can visit the main building itself.

The most notable sale that took place during- the week and also one of the biggest auction sales ever held in the city, went under the hammer in the Manhattan exchange salesroom at 14 Vescy street. Bryan L. Kcnnelly was the auctioneer, and in a single day disposed of nearly worth of the holdings of the late Mrs. Elizabeth W. Aldrich, a weli known New York woman.

The crowd was enormous and competition was lively. A-few of the parcels got away, despite hard work by the auctioneer, at low figures that made the crowd gasp when It was too late. The most valuable property was the Aldrich Court building at 45 Broadway, down In the heart of the financial district of Manhattan, which sold for The Columbia building, at the corner or Morris street and Broadway, went for $1,050,000.

He was trustee ot the Union Trust Company, of which hit uncle, Edward King, is president. He was also Interested In many charities, among them the I.ylng-In Hospital, of which he was president for many years, and tho New York Institution for the Blind. He was once a governor of the New York Hospital, and was Interested In the management of the House of Refuge. The Dimr family was descended from Colonel William Duer. who was born In Devonshire, England, and came to this country In 1747.

He came to New York ns secretary to Lord Clive and married Lady Katherlne Alexander the dauuhtrr of William Alexander. Lord Sterling. She was the celebrated Lady Klttv Duer of colonial days.

They are also erecting' a double brick building on the corner of i Church and Nostrand aviues, adjoining' ers generally in raising rent, on htgji class property and the declaration Is made that the limit has not been reached. Values charged for high class property are said to he In fair proportion to land values and general market conditions. Prices charged by owners of second class houses and tenements have created some dlBnatisfactton among brokers as well as tenants. This Is apparent only in the poorer sections of tho borough as a canvass has shown.

None of the brokerB In the better sections will admit that prices are too but a few. and only a few, of those In the oldc localities, built up for years by old frame houses, candidly state that owner are getting selfish and seek to wring the purses of their tenants to the limit. The broker who made the greatest objection lo was forced to admit that It only a mall ier; n'age of 'en ment owners who aio thus exacting. And ho added that If the extortion was maintained damage would be done not only to their own Interestg but to the city. The Bales market In town has been somewhat better than the week preceding, lively trading being reported from tarlous sections of the borough.

This condition Is expected to last all during the cold weather with only such Interruptions as nre caused by extreme, of temperature that hinder transit and all classes of persons Indoors. Values have remained stationary during the week, with hut sllnht variations. No reports have been received of falling prlre nnd brokers sssert thnt none are looked for. Several denier made the confident prediction that tho present prosperous market will be maintained for at least threo yenrB. VMAlllkWll.ll'-KM'lV (jsJ (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, October 28 The special committee of the board of charities, of which William Rhlnelander Stewart was chairman, which investigated the subject of infant mortality at Randall's Island and institutions for private management for the care of infants In New York City, upholds Charities Commissioner Tully In deciding to commit to private institutions infants of the general class formerly sent to the Infants hospital on Randall's Island, and says he acted with reasonable discretion and In accordance with law and the general custom throughout the state.

The report says: "With reforence to the per capita cost of maintaining the Infants at the hospital on Randall's Island, sx-Commlnsloner of Public Charities Homer Folks states that, as nearly as he could estimate It, this amounted to about 95 vents a day. The committee Is satisfied that It was approximately ibreo times as great as the per capita amount paid by the city to the private Institutions." The committee Is of the opinion that the New York Infant Asylum and the nursery and the child's hospital can be better fitted to render public service by their consolidation, if such consolidation Is not effected It will be desirable for the nursery and child's hospital to follow the example of Ihe foundling hospital and the Infant asylum by boarding out as mnny of Its charges as practicable. The course should be followed by all of the Institutions. REPUBLICANS RATIFY. William P.
