Commander John Ladchoff WAS in the chair and Henry Thien was the recordkeeper. After the session the knights listened to address by Register Edward T. O'Lougblin on "Sidelights on City ernment." SPRING "CLEAN-UP" MAY BE CALLED OFF Aldermen Fail to Appropriate Money Asked to Defray the Cost. HOLD OWNERS SHOULD PAY. Mayor Finds East Side Streets "as Clean as Flatbush Avenue." The spring clean-up of the city by the Street Cleaning Department and Department of Health.

assisted by the Police and Tenement House Departmente, was to have begun on April 1. That, in any event, was the date for beginning the work which was announced in statements issued from the Street Cleaning Department. But as yet the clean-up has not begun, and the irinance committee of the Board of Aldermen, which was asked to approve the expenditure of $37,000 for the extra expenses of the clean-up, has not ret acted. There is small likelihood, It was stated at City Hall today, that the clean-up will ever be undertaken. Opposition to the proposed appropriation of the money necessary has developed in Board, based upon Section 1176 in Charter, which gives the the Health Board authority to compel owners of premises where there are accumulations of waste likely to prove dangerous to lite and health to remove the same at their own expense.

"As a matter of fact," sald a member of the nance committee this morning. "This looks like an attempt to get the city to gO in and do at its expense whet should 1 be done at the expense of owners or tenants. Either the Heaith Department or Tenement House Department may abate any nuisance--may compel those responsible for it to abate it. Why, then, should we engage hundreds of trucks and wagons to do what the people respousible should do." There has been a falling off In enthusiasm the those demarked, siring a clean-up since the Orst of the week. Last year, when the matter was frst suggested.

the city departments were constantly receiving reports about the littered- up and odoriferous condition of streets in certain tenement bouse neighborhoods. Accordingly, Health Department officials, street cleaners, Boy Scouts and others made a concerted attack upon "King Dirt" with effective results. The Mayor on Tuesday, however, went through the East Side with a special view to ascertaining whether the streets were still in an unsanitary condition. After returning to his office he declared that he had found that a great improvement had taken place as a result of police activity. "Those he, said, "are just a6 clean as Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn," Chairman Henry H.

Curran of the finance committee of the Board Aldermen, said today that the request of the Street Cleaning Commissioner for funds, which was made after the Health Commissioner had suggested that such a step be taken, could not be noted upon before Monday, as there will be meeting of the committee before that time. Fie deto express himself as to the likelihood of the measure being approved or not. At that same meeting the request 0. Dr. Lederlo for $66.100 with to wage war upon mosquitoes in Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond will be considered.

This will probably pass, but not without opposition. HYDE APPEAL IS ARGUED. New Trial for Former City lain May Result. The appeal of former City Chamberlain Charles H. Hyde from bis conviction as a bribe taker before Supreme Court Justice Goff last fall was argued yesterday fore the Appellate Division of the preme Court in Manhattan.

No decision has been rendered yet, bu: from the questions asked by the justices of the court it was considered not unlikely that Hyde would get a reversal and be grantled a new trial. The attorney for Hyde was John B. Stanchheld and the prosecution was represented by Assistant District Attorney John K. Clark, who worked up the evidence in all the banking cases, which resulted in the conviction of several ex-bankers in Manhattan. The two points at issue in the legal aspects of the case were, first, whother Hyde dad reaped any benefit from the deposit of city funds in the tottering banks of his friends: and.

second, whether as a matter of law, Joseph G. Robin, the principal witness against Hyde, had been his accomplice in the alleged crime. Justice Goff had charged the jury that the aid given by Hyde to bis friends in the Carnegie Trust Company vag a material benefit to Hyde and that Robin, though he admitted helping Hyde's friends out at Hyde's request, wag not 811 accomplice in crime. Shou these rulings be declared wrong, will get a new trial. SHOOTING FEUD OUTCOME.

John Chicarello, Thrice Wounded, May Die From Injuries. As the outcome of a feud in Williamsburg, John Chicarello, of 269 South Fifth street, was twice in the right side and once in the mouth, today, in front of the tailor shop of Max Elkins, 93 Marcy avenue. The wounded man refused to say who shot him, but the police arrested Lawrence Hall, of 57 Lee avonue, on suspicion. Hall was shot through the cheek three months ago, and he always blamed Chicarello for the shooting. After the shooting Chicarello ran into the tailor shop.

The police were called and Chicarello removed to the Williamsburg Hospital, where he is in a serious condition. Hall was arraigned in the Manhattan avenue Police Court today, and held in $5,000 bail for examination. FIVE SWEPT OFF SUBMARINE.

INCOME TAX PLAN CHANGE POSSIBLE It Relates to Provisional Rate of 1 Per Cent, on Amounts Above $4,000 a Year. HOW THE LAW WILL WORK. Method to Minimize Features and Lessen Basis of Individual Complaint, Washington, April 3--The Democratic majority of the House Committee on Ways and Means reassembled today at what was expected to be the final meeting before the tariff revision bill is laid before the Democratic caucus next day. With the points of difference between President Wilson and the committee settled by an agreement on free raw wool, the interest shifted to a large extent to free sugar and the details of the income tax plan. Members of the committee were prepared to receive A final word from the President regarding the tariff measure and to devoce much of today to considcration of the Income tax.

There was a possibility of a change in the provisional rate of 1 per cent. on amounts above the exempted $4,000 a year, running up to 4 per cent. on 000 or more a year, In connection with the framing of the new permanent feature of the government revenue system, a consideration of the question flexibillty of the rates so as to meet emergencies in government needs has evoked an issue as to the constitutionality of any provision that would permit the President, by proclamation or otherwise, to change any income tax rate. The Income tax plan will absorb much of the administrative details of the present corporation tax law, will be administered by the present, but enlarged, interbal revenue machinery of the Treasury Department, will be based on the incomes for a single: year's operations, instead of of a number of years as had an average been suggested to the committee. The cost of the collection of the tax, it estimated, will not exceed 1 per cent.

of the aggregate revenue from that source. It is figured that probably at least two. third of the income tax revenue can be collected under the principle of collection at the source. The purpose of this method is to minimize the inquisitor features and lesson the basis of individual complaint, This is largely based the working of the law in Great Brit on ain, which, according to the information laid before the committee, collected $200,000,000 from an income tax. As to all incomes by which the tax is so measured and paid, the Individual taxwould not be required to make a payer personal return.

The Government, corporations, copartnerships and persons paying annual earnings to employes or other persons in excess of the minimum taxable income now provisionally $4,000 would deduct and withhold this tax and turn it over to the Government, a mothod that would likewise apply to mortgages and lessees of real or personal property. The taxpayer, under the proposed system, would not, in the bulk of cases. come in contact with a revenue official. HISTORIANS IN SESSION. American Delegates at the International Congress in London.

FLED TO ESCAPE SPRING CLEANING Mrs. Bernhard's band Tells Why He Left Maryland Farm. HIS WIFE NABS HIM HERE. Charges Him With Theft of Her Touring Car and Personally Hales Him to Court. Dora and Gus Bernhard faced each other in the Adams street court this morning and each glared at the other.

Dora is stout and is 65, while Gus is 35, a farm hand, who married Dora five years 380 on her farm at Woodland, Ave miles from Easton, Md. This morning the was charged with the larceny of a ing car from his wife. He ran away from her on Monday, two weeks ago, it is charged, and took the car with him. She followed bim on the train, and reached Brooklyn on Tuesday night and found him boarding at the residence of Mrs. Mary Reder, at 94 Sumpter street.

He had the automobile in a garage, and he had driven it, at a dreadfully fast rate, Dora says, from Maryland to Brooklyn, in order to see Helen Reder, Mary's daughter, who is about his age. The price of the car was $1,250, and Gus eay sthat he has half, an interest in it, because $300 of his helped to buy it, at- a price that was lower than the listed cost. "Spring cleaning was coming on," said he in court today, "and 1 could not stand it any longer. I was willing to wash the dishes and do the cooking, but beating rugS and scrubbing the floors was too much this year." "10 I bad a inan who washed dishes I'd chuck him out of window," said Miss Anna Connelly, the probationary who was listening to his tale, anu who has her own ideas about the duties of a husband. Mra.

Bernhard found out on Monday night, two weeks ago, that Gus had taken the automobile out of the barn and. had disappeared. She fancied that he might be seeking Helen Reder in Brooklyn and she came here and found him. She per sonally laid hands on bim and took him to the Ralph avenue police station. She was told to go to the Domestic Relations Court, at Myrtle and Vanderblit avenues.

where diflicuities like hers are settled by Magistrate Dooley, but as the abandonment was in another State, and as Mrs. Bernhard was in no danger of being al county caarge, baving fixed her residence at the Clarendon Hotel, the magistrate refused to consider her complaint. So she determined to have him arrested tor stealing the touring car, and last. street night station Detective took him Daly of the Adams, into custody. This morning, when arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees In the Adams stree court, he pleaded not guilty, and asserted that he had left his wife solely because of the impending spring cleaning.

Mrs. Reder went bail for him when she learned that he was held in $1.000 bonds for his appearance next Tuesday to answer the charge. The woman gave her house in Sumpier street, which is value at $5,000 and is unencumbered, as secur. ity, and he left the court with Miss Reder and her mother. The deserted wife went back to the Clarendon hotel very angry.

The automobile is in a garage on Marion street. Mrs. Bernhard has not as yet sought t' replevin it. POT OLD PONY EXPRESS RIDERS Monument at St. Joseph, Where First One Started in 1860.

BIG CRAFT FOR LOCAL STATION No Suspension of Activities if New Battleship Is Put on Ways Here. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Wasbington, April 3--The Brooklyn, Navy Yard will not build one of the fuel ships which were authorized in Naval Appropriation bill passed in 1912.

for both of them have beon assigned by Secretary Daniels to the Mare Island Navy Yard on the Pacide Coast. Unless I shipbuilding operations are to be suspended at the Brooklyn yard after the battleship New York is out of the way, I it. will be necessary for Brooklyn secure the battleship which was authorized in the naval bill of this Fear. In sending both fuel ships to the Pacite Coast for construction, Secretary Daniels took advantage of the wording on the Pacific." of the paragraph which authorized the But eg the law did not specifically say folk yards would get the latter vessel. that one vessel should be built on the two colliers.

This paragraph read: "Two and one on the Atlantic Coast, it being fuel ships, not to exceed $1,140,000, and ship should be built on the Pacific Coast waich shall be built in navy yards, one The intention of Congreas a was that one understood that either Brooklyn or NorAtlantic Coast, Secretary Daniele felt tree to send them both to Mare Island, which subinitted the lowest bid. This will do no injury to the shipbuilding Industry at the Brooklyn yard, providing the dreadnought battleship authorized in this year's bill is sent there for construction. If Brooklyn got one of the fuel ships it would not have been able to handle the battleship without increase of yard facilities. The last naval bill requires that the battleship be built a government yard. Brooklyn at the present time is the only yard equipped to handle a vessel of such size, There will be a loud protest at the Norfoly yard, however, over the sending of both fuel ships to the Pacific coast.

The Norfolk people expected to get one of these vessels. It is now likely that Norfolk will make a figbt to get the battleship, and it it should de successful in that. Brooklyn will be left with no construction work after the New is out of the way. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt will arrive at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Saturday morning next, for the purpose of inpecting the Government's biggest plant.

The Secretary leaves Washington this afternoon to attend the wedding Miss Ethel Rosevelt at Oyster Bay tomorrow. Although no official information has been given out as yet concerning the construction of the dreadnaught for which appropriation was made in the last session of Congress, there are interesting Indications that the keel of the giant will be laid down at the Brookiyn yard. The bill provides that it be constructed in a Government yard, and the Brooklyn yard is the best equipped to build a man-o'-war of her size. During the past few days there has been a gang of men at work on the wage from which the New York was launched lastt October. The force has been creased and they are putting things in sbape for the construction of A vessel.

The new ship will probably be a sister ship to the Pennsylvania, the contract for which was awarded to a private concern. It is likely that the plans for the Pennsylvania will be used for the sister ship, which is still unnamed. The reconstruction of the ways is taken by many as 2 very strong indication of the ship being built here. RESCUE AWARD IN QUESTION. Board May Reconsider "Honorable Mention." "The Board of Merit, consisting of prominent men, who award medals and other commendation to members of the Fire Department, will be asked by George W.

Olvany, Deputy Fire Commissioner, to reconsider the awarding of honorable mention, Class to Captain John Spenver of Engine Company 24. According to a report made by Captain Spencer, on which the award was made. he and Lieutenant Abbott of his company, on October 14, 1911, rescued a Chinaman during a fire et 161 Bleecker street, Manhattan. On March 20 last Captain Spencer was awarded the commendation, carrying with it an additional point in all civil service examinations taken in the future. No award was received by Lieutenant Abbott.

The recommendation by Deputy Commissioner Olvany that the captain's award be reconsidered grew out of the trial at Fire Headquarters today of George J. Foster, fireman formerly attached to Captain Spencer's company, and now conDected with Engine Company No. 27. Foster was brought ur 011 charges of using disrespectful language to a superior officer, made by Captain Spencer, who testified after receiving the award Foster demanded to know why he had not been mentioned in his report as having participated in the rescue of the Chinaman. Poster's demand, he told Deputy Commissioner Olvany, was supplemented with disrespectful language.

Foster declared that the rescue of the Chinaman was made by himself and another freman, and that they were not assisted either by Captain Spencer or Lieutenant Abbott. CONEY'S SPRING CARNIVAL.

O. P. TO NOMINATE HERE BY PETITION Candidates for Aldermen and Assemblymen to Be Named This Way. LIVINGSTON ANNOUNCES PLAN. Has for Its Purpose Putting County Organization on Election District Unit Basis.

In order to establish their party machinery on an election district unit basis, the Republicans of Kings County will designate their nominees for Alder- men and Assemblymen by petition next tall. Announcement of this plan was made today by Elections Commissioner Jacob Livingston, chairman of the Republican Executive Committee. The petition will entitle the candidates to places on the omeial primary ballot, but not in the regular Republican col-1 umn under the Republican emblem, the eagie. Instead, the names of the Aldermanic and Assembly candidates will appear In a separate column under another emblem. This emblem will be designated by the Republican County Com- mittee.

This plan has been worked out by Commissioner Livingston In en effort to construct the party organization on the election district basis and at the same time keep within the present primary law. Previously, the Republican organization has based on the Assembly district as the unit, and under it there is no provision for 811 election distr et organization of official character which can assume the powers of designation or lay claim to right representation in any other body having the power of designation. Byt its own act the County Committee has robbed itself of the power to designate any, candidate that does not run throughout the entire county. This condition was brought about by the passage of a resolution declaring for the election district unit plan in conformance with the new law, when at the same time the Republican party did not have already formed election district organizations upon which to build a practical party machine. Neither was there any spring primary this year at which such organizations could be brought into existence.

This left the party without any m8 chinery to designate candidates that would run in districts smaller than the entire county. Next fall Aldermen Assemblymen must be nominated and and elected so the plan to designate them by petition and run them under A separate column on the primary ballot was conceived 86 a way out of the dilemma. At the same primary election next fail at which these designated candidates will be officially nominated the whole Republican party machinery can be remodelled on a permanent election district besis by the election of a Republican committee in every election district. This will make r'ecourse to the petition makeshift under the present primary law unnecessary in the future. GETS HER FURNITURE BACK, But Mrs.

See Spurting Section for other Automobile Advertisementa, MALTBIE WILL ASK MCCALL TO EXPLAIN Intends to Discuss C. I. B. Purchase or Any Other Matter He Sees Fit. FRIENDS DENY "GAGGING." Say McCall Promised Maltbie to Probe Merger and Did Not Criticise Him.

It is regarded as practically certain at the Public Service Commission that man Edward E. McCall will be called upon by Commissioner Milo R. Maltbla to give an explanation of what he said yesterday regarding Maltbie's discussion of the plan of the R. T. to absorb tho Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad, requested McCall yesterday Commissioner said that Maltbio not to discuss with press, thus with the people of the elty, questions which were to come before the commission for formal action, of Commissioner Maltbie said Friends today that the chafrman on Monday afiernoon, Instead of criticising Mr.

Maltbie, assured him that it there was anything irregular in the buying of the stock of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad it would be carefully investigated. The assurance contented Mr. Maltbie, who said on that day, and again today, that bis only interest as a member of the Public Service Commission was to 1 Do sure that there was nothing Improper in the transaction by which men close to the B. R. T.

obtained anonymous control of the competing company. Mr. Maltbie Was certain after the statement made to him on Monday, it is aid, that the matter would be properly looked into in the commission. Last night at the subway banquet ho saw The Eagle's account of what Chairman McCall had said. He would not speciacally reply to the statement, but he let it be known in a emphatic and forceful fashion that he will discuss whatever matter he thinks proper for him to discuss at any time he so desires.

it 13 understood he will ask Chairman McCall to explain his statement to The Eagle, All of the Public Service Commissioners are of equal power, bave the same vote and exercise the same functions, and the fact that one man is appointed as chairman does not, under the Public Service Commission act, give him any authority whatsoever over the other members of the board. The feeling as expressed by Mr. Maltbie is that if there is nothing improper in the way the B. R. T.

acquired the C. 1. and B. road there should be no objection on the part of anyone to laying bare, from first to last, all of the facts and records. FRAWLEY BILL ATTACKED.

Young Republican Club Scores Sure rogate's Court. Measure. A typewritten statement was made public today attacking the Frawley bill which places the transfer tax appraisers 011 a fee basis, and gives the Surrogate a right to appoint an appraiser for every estate that must pay inheritance tax, The transfer tax appraisers now receive salaries of $3,500 annually, and the printed statement points out that under the Frawley bill, if it should become 8 law, an appraiser might easily get as much in fees out of the handling of one estate, it it aggregated $500,000 as a regular appraiser now gets for his whole year's work. Then the statement says: "For a barefaced attempt to make tho Surrogate's office a very powerful factor in party politics, nothing better could be imagined than the Frawley bill. It will keep hundreds of lawyers ani henchmen under obligations to the Surrosate and his party." Then the statement goes on to say that an investigation is being made of the practice of appointing lawyers as reterees, which practice it terms "pernielous." The statement bears the name of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club.
