A BUSY SE, Will Work Hard to Have Bridge Trains. Run Through Center Street Subway. PRESIDENT LEVI'S REPORT. More Public Playgrounds Needed, and Part-Time Classes in Schools Should Be Reduced. A spirited ana well-attended meeting of the Broadway Board of Trade the first of the fall season was held last night in Hart's Hall, 1028 Gates avenue.

It was made plain at the start that the board will do more effectual work than In any of the previous years in its history. President Nathaniel H. Levi in an especially interesting report made mention of some of the Important matters which will claim the attention of the board, with a promise that more are to follow. Considerable attention was devoted to the Williamsburg Bridge and the Centre street subway. Concerning this subject Mr.

Levi said: "Wednesday, September 16, wap indeed a red letter day for Broadway, Brownsville and Canarsie, for as Is well known to you, it was the occasion of the inaugu-, ration of elevated train service over the Williamsburg' Bridge, the agitation for which was begun by the Broadway Board of Trade, the Allied Boards of Trade and all the other civic bodies in this section immediately after the Williamsburg Bridge was opened to the public in 1903, and we are all thankful to see our labors crowned with Bucces3. While we recognize that the usefulness of the Williamsburg Bridge has been tremendously augmented by the installation of the elevated service thereon, it will in my opinion not serve the public to its full capacity, nor earn the Interest on the capital invested, until such a time as it may be called upon to accommodate subway trains beginning at Jamaica or East New York, traversing Broadway, and via Williamsburg Bridge and Centre street subway, carry passengers to City Hall, Manhattan; for in the final analysis it will be found that about three-quarters of the passengers will want to be landed at this point in Manhattan, and not at Delancey and Essex streets. "The construction of the subway as herein outlined would serve, too, to bring into proper use the Centre street subway, which is being built at an expense of abput ten millions of dollars. 4'Our authorities should, however, during the interim that must necessarily elapse until the Broadway subway can be built, make every possible effort to Induce the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to run the Broadway elevated trains to City Hall, Manhattan, by way of the Centre ttroet subway when completed; otherwise, we will see the disgraceful spectacle of an Investment of ten million dollars made by the City of New York in the building of a subway, which so far as ltB usefulness to the city Is concerned will be nothing more on less than a hole in the ground. There is still another reason which should actuate our authorities to make the Centre street -subway vseful by running the Broadway elevated trains therein and landing passengerB at City Hall, Manhattan.

Instead of at Delancey street, and that Is to endeavor to give Brooklyn every posslhle addition to her transit facilities In order to help her. meet the aggressive competition which through the completion of the McAdoo tunnels the nearby towns in New Jersey now offer, to house Overflow population of Manhattan." On other matters Mr. Levi said: "Much to the regret of every one interested in our schools. It is to be noted that about 15,000 more pupils are on half time in Brooklyn schoolB than in September, 1907. 1 will be glad to have our Committee on Schools and Libraries tana such steps in the premises as they deem necessary In order to, in the very near future, bring about a more satisfactory condition.

"Our Commute on Schools will, I hope, too, mike strenuous efforts, a view of the speedy building of a manual training high school, of which our locality is, as has been admitted by all who have Kindled the situation, so much in need, and which has recently been promised to us." Mr. Levi then spoke of the new water mains being laid in the section, complained' of the Imperfect Are alarm service the insufficient police force. He urged the board to oppose the plan to abolish the office of borough president. He thougnt the loan of vacant lots for playground purposes to be" a good thing. The flooding of cellars In the Ridgewood section during a storm, the suppression of unnecessary noises, the repaving of streets and the installation of preumatlc mail tubes on Broadway were other subjects touched upon.

Mr. Levi, in closing, jegretted the fact that the Bronx had fared better than Brooklyn in he matter of lmprovemens during 1906-07. President Elwin S. Piper of the Allied Boards of Trade offered a resolution requesting the Public Service Commission to form plans and adopt measures to the end that trains crossing the Williamsburg Bridge be run through the Center street subway as soon as it is completed, or os soon after as possible. On motion of Mr.

Piper It waB decided to ask the Brooklyn Rapid Transit officials to run no trains of less than three cars over the bridge. Three car trains were the rule when the bridge was first opened, but they have since been reduced to two. Otto Kempner of the committee on legislation, said that this committee would be on the watch for all legislation which had to do with Brooklyn's Interests and would endeavor to see that this borough got all that it was entitled to. Dr. Pendry called attention to the condition of Bushwlck avenue, which he said was not properly cleaned.

Dr. Brundage said that other streets, among them Central snd Evergreen avenues, also needed attention from the Street Cleaning Department. Dr. Brundage, who has recently returned from a tour of the West, said that Brooklyn streets did not compare with those of Chicago, and even San Francisco, for cleanliness. Dr.

Sehondel- meter of the committee on health called attention to the building of new sewers to open into the waters about the city, and said something ought to be done to eliminate this sort of thing, and compared New York's method to that of Saratoga, which was a highly satisfactory disposal plant of the most modern design. M. L. Miner made an earnest plea for more public playgrounds, stating that this city was behind many other cities. J.

L. Kruger offered a resolution, which was passed, tendering the thanks of the board to the Hanover Club for the use of Its clubhouse at the time of the opening of the Williamsburg elevated railroad service. Five bankers and two merchants were made members of the board. POTJEEM" PROTEST MEETING. "Jesus and the Poverty Question," from the text "The poor always ye have with you," vill be the subject of the s-rmoi by the Rev.

Dr. John D. Long, paator of the Parkside Church, Presbyterian. Lenox road, near Flatbush avenue, to-morrow morning at 11. This sermon is preached because certain editorial utterances of a Manhattan paper have intimated that the continuance of poverty is according t' divine appointment.

Sunday evening at the Parkside Church thero will be a Pouren protest meeting for the purpose of considering the proposed return of Jan JannlT Pouren, a political refugee to torture and to death at the demand of the Czar of Russia. It Is expected that among other speakers at the Park-Bide Church Sunday night M. Ohsol, secretary of the Second Russian Duma, AT BIG CONVENTION Missionaries From All Over the World to Speak at American Board Meetings. THE REV. DANJ0 EBINA HERE.

Heroes of the Congregational Church Mission Fields to Tell of Their Work; Citizens of New York who want to know the truth about the new and startling conditions in Turkey, and the real facts of the latest movements In Japan and China, will have a fine opportunity when the great annual meeting of the American Board of Foreign Missions be gins its ninety-ninth convention on Tues day week, October 13, at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn. The officers of the board, whose headquarters are in Boston, are unusually equipped this year for giving to Americans the news which they need most to know. The Rev. Dr. James L.

Barton, one of the general secretaries, for instance, has just returned from a thorough investigation of Eastern conditions, and while passing through Britain delivered a stirring address at the third In ternational Congregational Council at Edinburgh, that fired the hearts of the conservative Scotchmen. Secretary Harry Wade Hicks of the young people's de partment has returned only a week or two ago from a world tour of ten months, visiting all the missions of the board. Ho will voice his impressions at the mass meeting for men, to be held Tursday night, October 15, at the New Opera House. At this meeting Talcott Williams of the Philadelphia Press, eno of the clearest obververs of toreign affairs, who has personally investigated Eastern conditions, will also make a stirring speech; President S. B.

Capen of Boston and J. N. Shenstone, a Toronto lawyer, expert talkers to men, will ad to this dsame night's impressive programme. On the preceding night, Wednesday, the Academy should be crowded to hear three such orators as Dr. S.

Parkes Cad-man, President Thwing of the Western Reserve University and Adelbort College, Ohio, and the Rev. Dr. Howard S. Bliss, president of the Syrian vProtestant College at Beirut, Syria, formerly associated with Dr. Lyman Abbott, and whose father was for forty years president at Beirut College.

Many of the Young Turkey party received their training and preparation for liberty at this college. The first night session will be the annual preaching service on Tuesday, October 13, at the Clinton Avenue Church, when the sermon will be preached by Rev. Dr. S. Mills of St.

Louis, one of tho most brilliant and energetic leaders among the younger men. The Church of the Pilgrims, made historic by Dr. Storrs' former ministry, will naturally be' the scene of the annual communion service on Thursday afternoon, and the next morning, Friday, October 16, no more fitting place could be selected for the splendid farewell service than old Plymouth Church. Here groups of departing missionaries and new recruits will make brief addresses, and the closing address will be made by Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis.

The morning and afternoon sessions will be fully as interesting and important. Those who understand the significance of modern missions on modern business linos will not be willing to miss-the powerful series of brief addresses that men fresh from the field will give. Some of them are experts with forty years' experience, entitling them to be heard across America as the best interpreters of profound conditions in foreign lands that, are sure to affect America in more ways than one. There will be, for Instance, six men who know China thoroughly; four from Japan, six from Turkey and Syria; three from India, and others from Africa, Hawaii, the South Sea Islands, etc. The Rev.

Danjo Eblna of Japan, probably its greatest Protestant native preacher, will attract much attention. He is often called the Henry Ward Beecher of Japan. One of the great heroes of the church, whose tall, gaunt form will excite interest, is the Rev. Dr. Hiram Bingham.

80 years young, just out of hospital, a man who does things has reduced a language to writing, translated the entire Bible Into Gllbertese and when over 70 years of age published a complete native dictionary. His manuscript of the native Bible was lost (the fate of Carlyle repeated) before reaching the printer. He wrote another a task that any ordinary man would have shrunk from. The women of the city will hold a great rally on Thursday afternoon, October 15, at the Clinton Avenue Church, to hear the Rev. Danjo Eblna on Japan and President J.

E. Merrill of Central Turkey; also Miss Adams of Okayama, Japan, and Mrs. Williams of Shan-sl, whose husband fell in the Boxer riots. This is the first large religious convention to be held In Brooklyn's new hand some Academy of Music. It will proba bly be one of the greatest that the new building will ever hold.

Dr. Albert J. Lyman, thirty-seven years pastor of the South Church on Court street, and one of Brooklyn's best beloved citizens, will deliver the address of welcome. Dr. Charles C.

Creegan of New York, the board's district secretary for this part of the country, said to fifty representative Congregatlonalists in a final committee meeting this week that no city had ever seen more thorough arrangements made for such a ereat convention, with Its seven hundred delegates and visitors, than those which the ministers' and laymen's committees In Brooklyn have provided for this ninety-ninth annual meeting. DOTJGLA8 CLIFFORD. A pretty wedding took place on Wednesday evening at the residence of Mlsg Marie L.

Interesting Address at Meeting of South Brooklyn Board of Trade. SAYS MONEY IS NOT WASTEO Gowanus Canal Flushing Project and Brooklyn-Staten Island Ferry Discussed. Thomas M. Delaney, a Brooklyn member of the Board of Education, discussed the subject of "Alleged Extravagance in the Department of Education" before the members of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade, at Its meeting last night, in the auditorium of the library, at Sixth avenue and Ninth street. He referred to criticisms of the Board of Education, and said that they are generally based on hearsay The majority of the critics who attack the Educational Department for extrava gance, he said, do not know what they are talking about.

They see that the ap proprlation asked for by that department for the ensuing year amounts to $33, 000,000, and they assume that a great deal of money Is being wasted. Of the $33,000,000 asked for next year, said Commissioner De Laney, $23,000,000 go toward teachers salaries. The small amount remaining must be divided up among the five boroughs and used gen erally for repairs and refurnishlngs and needed supplies. This amount is all too little for what Is required, and when it is divided, as it has to be, the amount which comes to each borough is very small. For this reason the board finds its hands tied regarding many improve ments it would like to make.

Only 15 per cent, of the entire appropriation can be utilized for the needs of the schools, the remaining 85 per cent, going to teach era in salaries, which they well deserve. The commissioner explained the workings of the board and the school system, and concluded with the statement that it is too bad that more money is not available with which to buy new sites and build new schools. Brooklyn, he" said, now has 48100 part time pupils, Manhattan has lo.uou, the Bronx 3,000 and Queens 2.000 Robert B. Mclntyre, secretary of the board, expressed the hope that the Brooklyn members of the Board of Education will insist that Brooklyn have its fair share of the appropriation money in the future. He added that since consolida tion, Manhattan and the Bronx have had a great majority of the members of tha Board of Education, with the result that an uniair allotment of the money for tho department has been diverted to those Dorougns.

Brooklyn has shown thn erent. est growth during this time, he said, and Buuuiu get us lair proportion of new schools. Among the matters taken up at the meeting of the board of trade was the flushing project for the Oownnu. F. W.

H. Nelson, chairman of the committee, stated that he had been Informed that work on the tunnel is nearly completed, but that the special machinery for the pumping station Is yet to be made. The total appropriation for the work, he said, was 1750.non of $620,000 has already been spent. Tho uost oi me tunnels, he said, would amount to $720,000, but the pumping station and gates would bring the amount up to nearly $900,000. Apprehension is teit.

continued Mr. Nelson, by many citi sens about the ultimate success of the undertaking, the fear being that the bulk heads will not stand the great pressure of water. Many people are of the opin ion tnat tne city should buy the abut ting property and build concrete bulk heads. Edward Dannemiller offered a resolu tion that the transportation committee should consider the advantage of a ferry connection between Staten Island and Brooklyn. Mr.

Dannemiller was enthusl astlc about the scheme, which he de clared would be of great commercial benefit to both boroughs. This subject was referred to the proper committee, to be considered at the next meeting, when a report will be made concerning it. Herman C. Peterson and Frederick Bruckbauer referred to the repaying of Eleventh street, which is a "Are" street. An engine house and a hook and ladder house are located on the street between Seventh and Eighth avenues.

Early in the summer the work or repaying this street began, and it is not yet finished. The cause of the delay is not known. Only about seventy-five feet remain to be paved below Eighth avenue and above the Are houses, but for several weeks no work has been done. Whenever there is a fire above Seventh avenue the fire companies are compelled to go down to Seventh avenue and up by another street to. Eighth or Ninth avenue, losing valuable time.

NEW CHURCH STARTS OUT. The Rev. E. F. lee Chosen Pastor of East New York Presbyterians.

At the Linwood Branch of the Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church, the regular prayer meeting and the election of the Rev. E. F. Lee to the pastorate of the church were held last night. Until a short time fgo the congregation was satisfied to remain under the guidance of the members of the older church, but now they are enthused with the project of starting out for themselves.

At a meeting held some time ago in the Arlington Avenue Church, it was agreed between the representatives of the two churches to let the Linwood Branch start for itself. The meeting, last night, was preceded by a prayer service, at the conclusion of which the assembled members of the congregation unanimously agreed to have the Rev. E. F. Lee fill the pulpit in the future.

The members of the smaller church wish it understood' that, contrary to the rumors that a sort of Ill-feeling exists between the two churches, the relationship was never better. The field in which the new congregation has started out is an excellent one, because this section of East New York is one that is rapidly growing.

Children of James' Church and School Give an Entertainment of Greeting. PRIEST TALKS OF HIS TRIP. Tells of Audience With Pope Pius and Praises the Irish in America. The Rev. Father Peter Donohue, pastor of St.

James Pro-Cathedral Church, on Jay street, received a hearty welcome home yesterday from his parishioners and the teachers and friends of the church and of St. James Academy. Father Donohue went abroad during April as a member of a Catholic pilgrimage to Rome and In addition to holding an audience with the Pope, visited various European counties. The popular priest arrived on the Cedrlc, which did not dock until 6 o'clock and he was met by a party of clergymen, who immediately conveyed him back to Brooklyn in an automobile to St. James Hall, where an elaborate welcome entertainment by the children of the academy had been planned1.

If Father Donohue had any doubts of the sincerity of Mb welcome, they were dispelled when he was whirled from the steamer to the crowded hall to be greeted by the enthusiastic audience there. The hall was crowded and there were many Btanding. A large proportion of boys in the audience added vim to the applause. Father Carroll, the assistant pastor, took hold of things and the children gave a very pleasing entertainment. A "Welcome Chorus," sung with spirit by the boys and the girls, started the programme.

Miss Kathryn Fay, soprano, sang "Dear Heart, Dream On." Father Carrol in a few brief remarks, eulogized Father Donohue and expressed the welcome of the parish. said that the people were proud of him and that absence had strengthened the bonds of affection and love and that all would assist him In his sacred duties. About a hundred youngsters, from 3 to 7 years cleverly sang "Shoemaker John," maintaining excellent unison and causing great amusement. C. J.

Assa, tenor, adapted the words of his song, "You're Welcome as the Flowers In May" to Father Donohue's home coming and the congregation Joined In the chorus with a will. "Our Boys," a company of forty youngsters, delivered a recitation in concert. James O'Keefe, baritone, sang. The "Little Gleaners," fifty girls in white carrying golden paper sickles, went through pretty dances. When Master James O'Connor finished singing a popular patriotic medley, he was greeted with such tremendous applause that he had to Blng 'The Girl That Threw Me Down!" Thirty-four misses in a "Patriotic Drill," carrying red, white and blue sashes, went through a march and recited In unison.

Columbia and the new State of Oklahoma were represented. The St. James Quartet, composed of Professor J. F. Nugent, who trained the children and led the singing, F.

J. Ma-Mire, E. Martin and J. Kane, sang a four part song and a wand drill by "Juniors" concluded the entertainment. Three little girls, two of them carrying large bouquets of red roses, came on the platform and said: "Father Donohue, the pupils of St.

James welcome you home" and went to Father Donohue, who was seated in the front row of the audience, and presented the flowers to him. Father Donohue was quite overcome when he mounted the platform and received a hearty ovation. It was some time before he could Bpeak and then he said his welcome home had taken his breath away. "I've seen many great events." he continued, "and witnessed many pageants and other pleasant things, tho climax of all of which was the great event, the Jubilee of the Holy Father. But after that pageant, I have not seen anything which has given me so much pleasure as this welcome to-night.

I have been easy in my mind while I have been away tor i Knew everything would go well, probably better than when I was here. You know, tho young men always try to put a Job up on the old man, but I can say that If It Is anything like this, I will not complain." Father Donohue described the interview of the delegation of priests from this diocese with the Pope and delivered tha Pope's message to the parishioners of Brooklyn. "The great event of the entire Journey," said Father Donohue. "was. of course, the interview with tho Holy Uather.

Those who were present will never forget the offering I proof of fi delity and love from this diocese. The heart of the Holy Father was touched, when It was communicated to him, and in a kind add fatherly way he eald: 'Tell them I hold them in fondest affection and give them cordial greeting and manifes tation of faith. I send them love and pray that they be blessed In their public and domestic That was his message to the Catholics of Brooklyn. "In traveling in Europe," Father Donohue continued, "it is eaey to see that the great question Is religjon. All the nations are watching each other and no one knows when the fire-brand of war will be brought forth.

The crowned heads are trembling In their domain. The only one who is not afraid is the Holy Father and he Is the only one who "has solved the problem. At our interview, he relegated all formality, exhibited no sign of the Papal God, was carried In no Sedan chair, but simply walked among the crowd from Brooklyn and shook everyone by the hand and blessed them. We could see why he Is called 'the peasant Father Donohue briefly outlined the life of the Pope, Baying that he was really the only independent potentate In all Europe. "I am convinced," he said, "of the hidden power and strength of the Catholic Church, which is the only one that shows no slgus of decay." He said that the religious question Is best solved In the United States.

Father Donohue spoke about Ireland, which he visited. Whenever asked about the Irish In America and the perpetuation of tbelr chivalry and loyalty, he always replied: "If you want to find real Irish chivalry and true Irifih Catholics, you can't find them In Ireland. Come to America." Father Donohue said ho was very glad to get back and very thankful to Father Car roll, to the youno- men and all the people for their assistance and very proud of St. James which, he declared, compares favorably with any congregation in the world for earnestness and sincerity in the Catholic faith.
