L. September 1 A new siyle of road to take the place of maca dam will donhtless hp installed lw rhr i supervisors of Nassau County, if an'ex perimenial piece, which is to be InstalleC by the Imperial Road Company of New York City, proves a success. The neu road is to be composed of asphalt anc' gravel, nas been tried in the West and said to have proved satisfactory In every particular. One feature of the composition is that it is "self-healing" lhat is. If a hole is made In it.

the surfaci will fill up by travel. Representatives ot the road company were before the supervisors yesterday, seeking a contract for an experimental stretch. The installation of a small stretch was decided upon, if the company could make arrangements with the Automobile Association, which used the Jericho turnpike for the Vanderbilt Cuo race and has to put the road in repair for the coming race, to bear part of the expense. ELMHURST LOVERS ELQPZD Papa Gee Refused to Give Consent Because Gallo Was Poor. Young People Fled to Jersey City Saturday Night and Were Married by Justice.

At the Elmhurst police station yester day the lieutenant Informed the reporters that 'James G. Gee of Locust street, Corona, had reported his daughter Cath erine had been missing from home since Saturday night and that, after Detectives Schroder and Enright had been assigned to investigate the case, they found that the girl had eloped with James Gallo, years old. of Corona avenue, Corona, and were married in Jersey City by a justice of the peace. The reporter of the Eagle, who called at the home of the father of Gallo, heard an interesting story. 1 James Gallo was madly In love with pretty Catherine Gee, the 17-ycar-old daughter of James Gee, who is a retired merchant.

For five years Gallo and Catherine have been saying sweet things to each other, whenever Catherine's papa was not looking. Fnally Gallo told Catherine to ask her father for his consent to their marriage. Mr. Gee didn't rave when he was told of his daughter's love for James, but he asked, "Has this young man enough money in the bank to support a wife?" Catherine was forced to confess that James W'as not rich, but he was honest and ambitious, and had hopes. Her father declared that one could not buy higood boys.

mna. nflULIVIflUnLn 0 OUU 1 round Within TOO Feet Of the Place Where Her Children Were Drowned. HUSBAND NEARLY FRANTIC. Mother Could Not Swim, but Leaped Into Water to Save Little Ones. The body of Mrs.

Richard A. Rade-macher, who was drowned last evening at. Broad Channel when she leaped into the hay to rescue her two children, was recovered this morning at 6:30 o'clock, after an all-night search. The body was within 100 feet of the place in which the bodies of the two children were found. Mrs.

Rademacher was the wife of a har-nessmaker and lived at 1814 Fulton street, this borough. The parents and their children had spent the summer at Ellenville. N. and on Monday the mother had taken her five children down to Grassy Point, opposite Broad Channel, to visit their grandfather, who has a clubhouse there. While she was putting some of the younger children to bed, last night.

-Ida, aged 11. and Albert, aged 9, were romping about on the pier In front of the house. Suddenly the little jlrl rushed into the house and cried "Albert has fallen overboard." In a twinkling of an eye Mrs. Rademacher ran out. Struggling in the water was the little hoy.

with nobody near to give him assistance. Ida saw there was nobody around and, although she could not swim, she jumped into the water and tried to reach her drowning, brother. Both children were drowning before the eyes of their frantic mother, and, as her children sank, she also jumped into the water in an effort to save them. She could not swim, either, and sank. The triple drowning occurred at aobut 7:30 o'clock, when it was pretty dark, and this Is probably why nobody noticed the boy fall into the water, for there is always a large number of fishermen and others at Grassy Point.

The commotion about the Rademacher house brought others from the little settlement (lurrying to the scese, and boats were at once manned and put off from the piers in a vain effort to give assistance, but It was too late. Although every possible haste was made to reach the spot from whence came the cries of Mrs. Rademacher and the children, she had sunk beneath the surface before aid could reach her. Grappling parties set out to search for the bodies and at about 9 o'clocl Louis Oit. of Broad Channel found the bodies of the two children.

The little boy had his arms around his sister's neck, while her hand clutched his waist. When Mr. Rademacher reached Broad Channel late last night and was told of the tragic death of his wife and two chil dren he became frantic with grief, and it was all a half dozen friends could do to restrain him from Jumping into the bay, so great was his grief. During the night, there was an acci dent which nearly caused the death of a score of persons. A float on which they were watching the men grappling for the body of Mrs.

Rademacher capsized and those upon It were thrown into deep water. All were, however, rescued. NO GRAFT THEY SAY. Coney Island's Business Men Will Insist Upon Regularity at Mardi Oras Time. Henry Grashorn, president of the Coney Island Fall Festival and Mardi Gras Association, denied, to-day, that the committee of arrangements, or any other committee, had decided to demand $5 from all persons who intend selling confetti during Mardi Gras week.

He Bald the business men along Surf avenue claimed something out to be done to protect them and prevent others' from selling confetti In front of their business places. That has been arranged for, and all strangers and others who desire to sell the stuff will be required to get permission from the storekeeper in front of whose place It Is proposed to sell the confetti. The police will also see that all peddlers are regularly licensed. BYRNES MEN RALLY. Listen to Speeches Attacking McCar-ren and His Home Rule Policy.

A rousing meeting was held at the Jackson Club Hall, on Kent avenue, near Willoughby, last night by the Democrats opposed to MeCarren In the Eleventh Assembly District. They began gathering as early as 7:30, attracted by the band and the fireworks, and by 8:30 the large hall was packed. When the meeting was called to order the hall was uncomfort ably full, and a quarter of the men were standing. It was an enthusiastic audi ence, for they applauded Willlajt R. Foley, when he called the meeting to order as temporary chairman, and listened with evident satisfactlin to his narp arraignment of MeCarren and his meth ods in the Eleventh Assembly District and his pralBe of Thomas J.

Believing they havo an open chance of wresting the leadership from former Sheriff Henry Hesterberg. which he has held for years, the caniains and followers i ast night, where spcecnes very un- I BIG OUTLAY FOB YEAR Good Business Done, But Not Enough to Meet Improvements Made. BRIDGES NOT PROFITABLE. So President Winter Declares, and He Shows That Investors Deserve Consideration. In the annual report of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, Issued by President Edwin W.

Winters attention is called to heavy expenditures for the improvement of transportation facilities. The statement is made that efforts toward the betterment of the system have caused a decrease in the surplus of the year to over $150,000. This does not mean that the company's gross earnings from operation have decreased. nthe contrary, the receipts showed a nincrease of nearly $500,000 over the last fiscal year, or a total of but the gross earnings of the company have not kept pace with the expenditures for the construction account. In other words the company has been spending Its funds to improve the system, much to the benefit of passengers, but with little return to the company.

Without reference to this state of affairs, there is another situation reflected In the report, which Is disturbing the officials or the company. President Winter says that the net return per passenger, based upon present operating expense, is approaching the zero mark, and supplying a question of the most vital importance to the railroad companies concerned. The intimation Is rather plainly given that if the railroad company is expected to undertake further developments, the lnvestorss' return must be reasonable. Mr. Winter does not say, however, that there has been any decision as to the tnanne rof increasing the earnings to provide for that return.

President Winter says in the report: "It will bo uoled that the general business depression is reflected in the earnings of the company. From an almost unbroken daily record of increase, running through more than five consecutive years and keeping pace with large expenditures fur improvements, there has come a falling off of gross earnings beginning with the last quarter of 19ii7 and increasing with the downward trend of conditions generally through the balance of the fiscal year. While the loss is distributed over the entire system, it is more acutely felt during the summer months on lines serving seaside resorts. "The opening of the subway for reg ular operation between Battery Park and the terminus at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues has somewhat affected -the revenue of certain lines, but no materially harmful results to the business of the company were manifested and none are expected from this addition to the lines of communication between Manhattan and Brooklyn. "However seriously the prevailing depression may for the time being affect the business of the system, full restoration and the continued growth of traffic demands in Brooklyn are as certain as the operation of any natural law, but whether the whole local transit situation of Greater New York Is not seriously imperiled by the trend toward zero of net per passenger carried, is a question of vital importance to the companies concerned, and to the public dependent upon them tor continued development of transit facilities.

"For some years past, through mergers, leases an other forms of combination segregated lines have been coming to gether into large systems, unquestionably to the very great advantage of public travel, whatover may bo said concerning the movement in other respects. Ln-couraged by the rapidly increasing demand for more and better local transportation, and the assumption that tht gross rate of five cents for the carrier could bp. substantially preserved, enormous expenditures have been made In th' Improvement of existing, facilities and creation ot still more costly means of transit, and these vastly enhanced conveniences turned to public use without increase in the rate of fare. On the contrary, through the growth of transfer tho nverage gross return per passenger has been deceasing until the cost of transportation supplied per capita and the amount received for if have come unpleasantly close to each other. It is obvious that these conditions cannot continue without serious results alike to the public and the transportation companies.

"If private capital is to be the means of further transit development In this city, the investor must first be assured of the safety of his money and a reasonable return thereon. The- case is exceptional where this can be given on the prtsent margaln between cost and, after transfer dilution, amount realized per passenger carried. "The welfare of the public to the extent that it is dependent upon' Iccal transportation, as well as that of the corporations which are expected to supply would be promoted by the mutual recognition of a situation, the undeniably din-couraging aspect of which in its bearings on the question of future development must become evident to those who will give it patient and intelligent examination. In calling attention to the bridge situation, Jlr. Winter says that the matter Is troublesome and costly to deal with and that no adequate revenue is derived.

The bridges supplied over 12 per cent, of the total car miles during the fiscal year, and this car movement was made through a traffic desert, except for the comparatively small receipts In half fares from passengers riding between bridge ends. "In other words," says Mr. Winter, "the Brookly system, after running its cars to the boundary of its traffic territory, adds an average of about 12 per cent, actual service at greatly increased relative eo3t without extra charge to the passenger. "During the fiscal years 1500 to 1S07, Inclusive, after crediting the account with all revenue from local bridge traffic, the Brooklyn 'system has paid out nearly $5,000,000 fpr charges attaching exclusively to bridge maintenance and operation." The statistical part of the report shows that during tho year just ended, $6,476,959 have been snent for improving transit facilities, which naturally increased operating expenses. This sum Is $773,773 more than the expense of the previous fiscal year for the same purpose.

There were carried B15. 184,967 passengers during the fiscal year, an increase of 3.34n,530 passengers over the preceding year. The average gross earnings per passenger were 3.67 cents. The average cost per passenger carried was 2.25 cents, leaving an average net per passenger of 1.42 cents, from which must taken all charges other than for operation. The percentage of operating cost to earning for the system, including special appropriations for additions and betterments to the property was 61.25 per as compared with 61.42 per cent, for the previous year.

The average number of ears operated daily for the twelve months ending June 30. I90S, was 2,203, an increase of 5.2 per cent. BAYPORT BARN DANCE. Mr. and Mrs.

Pardav Provide It for Summer Colony. (Special to the Eagle.) Sayville, L. September 1 Mr. and Mrs. Charles R.

The barn Is uniquely decorated with field flowers and farm products, and the furniture consists of farm Implements. General Belief Is That He Has Had to Read the Riot Act to Subordinates. HOT TALK IN A LOCKED ROOM. No Details Given Out to an Interested Public Work of Demoralization Goes On.

The secrets of the official home life of the Deputy Commissioners of Police, in the absence of General Bingham, are not for general newspaper or police discussion, according to persons who were questioned this morning by a reporter concerning a story printed In one of the morning papers to tile effect that there had been a dreadful row between First Deputy Commissioner Baker and the other police deputies, Hanson, Bugh-er and Woods. But a close friend of Mr. Baker said the other day that Mr. Baker had declared that his deputies had been acting like a lot of schoolboys and that he had been forced to call them together for a little talk. It Is plain that Mr.

Baker's reign as top of the heap in the police department has not been redolent with the perfume of roses and that the naughty boys have been giving him trouble. Anybody who ever looked Into Mr. Baker's calm blue eyes will know that beneath the placidity that is commonly to be found there there lurks lorrential possibilities. Just like the water that Is deep may be stirred by a cyclone. Mr.

Baker himself said, before he had been twenty-four hours in the police department that he could fight like the dickens, or something to that efTect. And when he Is boss in the police department he means to make the other fellows' feel that he Is. The story published was to the that he called the other three deputies into his room in Mul berry street on Thursday last and locked the door. Then he read the riot act. It was to the effect that they should bury their differences and stop squabbling while he was at the head of the force.

When he stepped down to the subordinate job of First Deputy they might, do as they pleased, but just as long as he was in charge there should be no friction. When General Bingham returned they might have all the news they wanted, for all he carexl. but as long as he was accountable to General Bingham and. indeed, the Mayor and the people, for the conduct of the department, they must be The Is that when General Bin? ham went on his holiday he called Mr Baker Into hi room, with the other deputies, and told them that Mr. Baiter would be In charge and.

that he must be obeyed, like Mr. Haggard's "ShV And then, after the manner of Mr. Bingham, he parcelled out the little Jobs that each should do in his absence, so that there would be no unnecessary friction. For example, Mr. Bugher was told that he would be responsible for the gambling in the city all over.

Indeed. Now gambling raids are hobbies of Hansou and Woods In certain sections of the town, for General Bingham had allotted a section to each. And they are enthusiastic about It, and when Bugher hutted in thew had rows with him. And the rows spread to other branches of the work. There was soon a tangle and very little work was done as Baker wanted it to be done.

This was the occasion of his trouble with the deputies, who were plainly informed that they, must obey as long as be was the First Deputy Commissioner in charge of the service. Mr. Baker's woes have been many since General Bingham went away. He had to take the brunt of the exposures of inefficient police work on the part of the men when, as a matter of fact, he was not to blame, if the present system was. People who know the friendly qualities of Mr.

Baker and who know that he Is one of the best lntentioned of men, do not blame him for the present service, or lack of police service that the city Is getting. It is the administration In general that the people have been kicking about, the work partitioned out to various inexperienced experimentalists. But it is no wonder, it is said, that Mr. Baker had a kick coming, and that he made it. MINISTER TOOK FAREWELL The Rev.

F. M. Townley Closed His Kectorate at Merrick, L. I. Church Was Crowded.

(Special to the Eagle.) Merrick, L. September 1 The Rev. Frank Maxwell Townley closed his rec-torate In the Church of the Redeemer here on Sunday last, the evening service being a remarkable one. The edifice was filled in every part, the hook and ladder company of the town turning out in a body. The retiring rector preached from theh texts found in Acts 32 and 38.He admonished his hearers to be true to the church and support its work and ministry.

During Mr. Townley's rectorship of seven years the church has progressed lr. every way better than at any time in Its history. The people were loath to have Mr. Townleygo.

He has been called to and accepted the rectorship of St. Bartholomew's Church in Brooklyn and will soon assume charge there. LYNCH SPEAKS FOR HOME RULE Explains Why He Temporarily Left MeCarren Received With, Enthusiasm. Martin P. Lynch, whose antics of the past few days caused so much consternation among his political friends and foes, spoke last night at a big gathering of the "Home Rule" faction of the Democratic party of the Ninth Assembly Dis- trlct, held at the clubhouse, Fifth avenue nuu 11 1 v-oecu no Hiirpi.

mm mere e.Y- Plained why it was that he temporarily aoannoneu tne ivicuarren cause and went over to William A. Doyle. The mention of Lym-h's name brought forth cheer after cheer, and when he was called upon to address the assemblage the enthusiasm of the crowd knew no bounds. "Gentlemen," said he, "there has never been a doubt in my mind as to what you voters will do on primary day. The statement made by Mr.

Doyle a few days ago that he had our most competent men on his side worked on me so that I finally decided to see for myself if his statement had any truth In it, and went out without reporting the matter to any one outside of our district captains, and even went so far as to speak at a Doyle meeting, hold Saturday night at Ninth avenue and Thirty-ninth street.

Commission. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Judging by the details carried in your paper of the reports of the interview which Public Service Commissioner 'Mc Carroll and I had the other day, and the construction placed upon it editorially, it is very apparent that the conference has been entirely misrepresented The only subject of discussion was as to what could be done to start construction of at least the first section of the subway, so as to have the approach to the Manhattan Bridge ready when the bridge is completed. Your records will show that I have always advocated the immediate construction of at least four tracks on the Flat-bush avenue extension. This work could be begun at once under a separate contract, and would cost about $2,000,000. and no one ever disputed the fact that the city could incur this obligation at any time.

My objection to the proposed plan has always been that it necessitated the taking of worth of real estate for the second section, and the fact that the city was not in a financial condition to justify it in awarding the contracts for tne entire six sections, owine to the debt, margin. There is no use discussing this matter further, as the courts have evidently thought my objection serious enough to warrant the issuing of a permanent in junction, and appointing a referee to de termine what shall and what shall not be considered debt, under a judicial interpretation of the constitution. There has been absolutely no 'change of front" so far as I am concerned, but simply a desire to co-onerate with the Public Service Commission, and to en able it to proceed with the construction of the first section, which must of ne cesslty be built, no matter what the eventuar" solution of the transportation question may be. Unless this sect'on is built, the Manhattan Bridge will not even be enabled to accommodate trolleys or teams, when it is completed, and the Flatbush avenue extension will continue in the same condition it is now, and has been for two years an eyesore to the people, and a loss to the city, not only of Interest, but of the rents it might have continued to collect, if the buildings "had not been demolished, owing to the public clamor that was raised for Its immediate destruction by the borough president, in spite of my objection In the Board of Estimate. -It is possible to make at least a part of the street serviceable for trucking and trolleys, by securing.

If possible, from the courts, a modifl-ation of tne injunction, which will allow the commission to proceed with Its work on this section. H. A. METZ. Controller.

Manhattan, August 31, 1908. SEVEN TO ONE FOR HUGHES. Result of Canvass of the Second Election District of the Tenth. AssemBly District. Following the example of Mr.

Devoy of the Seventh Assembly District in an effort to sound the sentiment as to the re-norainatlon of Governor Hughes, John Pullman, a real estate broker of 741 Union street, a life-long Republican and a prominent Grand Army man, has canvassed the voters of the Second Election District of the Tenth Assembly District; and he has found that there are seven electors in favor of Hughes' renomina-tion to every one that is opposed to him. Mr. Pullman sent the following query to every one of Ihe 200 enrolled Republicans in his district: "As an enrolled Republican of the second election district of the Tenth Assembly, if you have no objection will you please express your opinion for or agalnBt the renominatlon of Governor Hughes on the enclosed postal, and mall it at once, and oblige, yours truly, John Pullman." Mr. Pullman received 76 answers from the 200 letters sent out. This is 37 1-2 per cent, of the total number of enrolled Republicans.

Of the 76. 66 were unqualifiedly In favor of Hughes' renominatlon. Consequently, if the ratio of 7 to 1 obtains for the entirg 200, Mr. Pullman's result would seem to indicate that 176 of the total number of enrolled Republicans favor the renomlnation of Hughes. STORE NOTE.

Catherine communicated the discourag Ing news to Gallo, who declared that he would not let money stand-in the way of his marriage if Catherine- was willing to take a cheaper route. Then he proposed that they should run off and get married. It was quite romantic, and Catherine doted on romance. Then they set their wits to work, and when they parted it was decided that the runaway should take place on Saturday night last.

Catherine was in the habit of doing some shopping for her mother on Saturday evenings. On this occasion she went as usual to purchase some goods. Catherine's mother, suspecting nothing, waited patiently for her daughter to return. She waited over three hours. The mother then made Inquiries.

To her amazement she finally learned that Catherine was last seen boarding a trolley car for Long Island City In company with James Gallo, who carried a bulging suit case. Then Mrs. Gee reported It to the Elmhurst police. While the police were looking for them, Gallo and Catherine were in Jersey City, where they were made one by a Justice of the Then they came back to live with friends in Corona, where they were found by the detectives. When taken to the station house they produced a marriage certificate.

FOR CAMPAIGN FUNDS Borough Employes Report Pressure by Kings Co. Dem. Party. Practical Work by the Delaney-Wil-liams Organization Which Is Fighting MeCarren. Several city and borough employes have reported to their district leaders and to Senator MeCarren that they are being pressed hard for campaign contributions by representatives of the Kings County Democratic party, the Delaney-Williams organization, which is carrying on the primary fight against MeCarren.

No one has yet appeared who is willing to make affidavit that any threat has been directly made, but it is intimated that evidence is being gathered which may lead to legal action. The only written request which De-" Ianey has sent out is one which has been sent broadcast to those enrolled Democrats whom the district leaders of the Delaney party Have, placed upon their lists. These include all Democrats on the borough pay roll who are listed by number on the Delaney books. In the upper righthand corner of the printed re turn slip, which specilies tne amount oi money inclosed, appears a number in red ink. As fast as contributions are received the donors are checked off with the amount which each has contributed.

The letier of "request" is in part, as follows: "Dear sir The Republican organization and the Republican newspapers are making a desperate effort to regain control of the machinery of the Democratic party in Kings Louniy at me connns primary election, to the end that William lirvim be ilctented in tne presidential con'est and a Republican governor be chosen this year and a Republican mayor elected next year.
