Th baali fur the examination of ex-Commissioner Farker la contained In an account made by Flynn some months ago In the suit that Michael J. Kennedy, the Park Commissioner, Is bringing against Flynn, the McLaughlin estate. Shevlln, and the McCarty estate on behalf of fey's children.

Until very recently this account, burled as It Is In a complicated phase of the litigation, has been seen by very few persons. It Is now being very carefully read by all the attorneys. Including Andrew F. Van Thun, representing Flynn, and Mrs. Helena I.

Meht, the latter an Important figure In the Flynn litigation, ex-Assistant District Attorney Robert H. Elder, representing Everett Greene, who Is In charge of the McCarty Interests, and Lawyer Craig, the attorney for J. Benedict Roache, the latter being "Boss" McLaughlin's son-in-law. $123,364.11 Still Due Coffey Estate From ''Syndicate," Flynn Says. In this account Flynn says that there Is still owing the Coffey estate from the "Syndicate" the sum of $123,364.11.

His version of the arrangements between the mnmoers of the "Syndicate," as given In the account, is an interesting one. The members of the "Syndicate," Flynn says, were McLaughlin, Coffey, McCarty, Shev-lin and himself, each to get one-fifth. The securities tiiat came Into his hands, he nays, Included 7,822 shares of the capital stock of the Nassau Electric Railroad Company, worth JJS2.200; 1,903 first mortgage 5 per cent, bonds of the same road, worth $1,903,000, and 3.500 shares of the capital stock of the Coney Island and llravesend Railway Company, worth Flynn debits himself with $3,033,200 as trustee lor the members of the "syndicate." Between January 20, 139::, when the "Syndicate" first began operations, and April 26, 1901, Flynn says he checked out $528,691.12, "properly chargeable there-asainst as coats, charges and expenses in the management thereor," and the account Kires the name of every person and concern that got a part of the more than half million dollars. Much of this half million dollars, it is sa'd. went for altorneyc' fees, for the payments for consents from property owners along streets where the trolley line ran.

There is also a large amount credited to the expense of the office in 1he Renl Estate Exchange and the clerical force. Several of the attorneys who were in the employ of Flynn at trie time have long since then been given judicial honors. Many of the 200 names mentioned in the account are dead. Others, still alive, will recall the stirring times in Brooklyn during the development ol the Nassau lines and just prior thereto. How Much of tlie Money Went.

Between 1S93 and 1S99. according to the account, Flynn drew to his own order fony-eight checks, aggregating $70,557, and he made 272 payments to Fred C. Co-rhen between 1S82 and 1901. of $99,761.43. The late ex-Alderman Daniel McGrath re-i eived twenty-five payments between April, 192, and December, 1900, aggregating $19,842.70.

In his account Flynn credits himself with having disbursed $351,359.64 to ten persons, including himself, Coeheu and McGrath, in 406 checks. Of this large amount Flynn says that Coffey got the Nassau Railroad, C. Church, now dead, S8.809.52; John J. Cain. $13,000: .1.

Studwell, M. J. Kennedy, and James F. Casey, $10,150. Besides these larger amounts Flynn says that forty-three persons got checks aggregating over $1,000 each, and there were 406 payments aggregating less than $1,000 to the recipients.

FRIENDS OF ADELPHI JOIN IN BIG RALLY University Plan Boomed by Leaders in Movement for Endowment. THE STUDENTS ENTERTAIN. Alms of College Auxiliary and Associates Explained by Eloquent and. Well-Known Speakers, Adelphi's Brooklyn friends who are striving to have ber become the central part of a great Brooklyn university, met last night in the college building to become acquainted, to hear encouraging words from the leaders In the movement to secure an endowment ot at least halt a million dollars and to enjoy an entertainment given by the girls of the school. The programme included Binglng by the College Glee Club, one act playlets, musio by an orchestra from the Commercial High School and speechmaklng, followed by dancing.

Dr. John F. Coar, William McCarroll, president of the associates, and Miss Emma L. Johnston, principal ot the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers aind president of the Adelphi College Auxiliary; the Rev. Dr.

S. Parkes Cad-man, acting president ot Adelphi College, and ex-Senator Charles H. Fuller addressed the mtetlng. Ex-Senator Fuller as chairman of tbe entertainment committee made a brief address in which he recalled memories of the Adelphi of his boyhood days, and described how It had changed since then. He said that it was a good thing for the older men and women who had graduated from the old school to remember what Adelphi did for them and that educational work Is being carried on there with a greater economy than anywhere -in the country.

Mr. McCarroll explained the purpose behind the establishment of the auxiliary and the associates. He said that one reason -why the rally of the friends of Adelphi had been arranged was so that they might obtain an object lesson by a view of its classrooms and an examination ot Its educational facilities. "It is our purpose to raise an endow-mcnt fund of not less than and beyond that to raise a Bum sufficient for the expansion ot tbe work so that It may be carried on In a manner commensurate with the future growth ot the community. This is a new beginning for Adelphi." Miss Johnston spoke for the Auxiliary, and Dr.

Coar said amoug others things that the greatest need ot Adelphi College has been a closer and more intimate relation with the community which it serves. He declared emphatically that no college however large its student body or efficient its facllty, however great its endowment or magnificent its buildings, justifies iis existence completely unless It represents and brings to higher expression th intellectual aspirations of its community.

OLD NASSAU SUCCUMBS TO PARISIAN EXPERT W. W. Young Defeated by David Janowski in Rattling Chess Came. David Janowski of Paris, French cliesB chnmpion, at the Aero Club of America yesterday, encountered W. W.

Young, Princeton varsity player in the intercollegiate tournament of 1896 and 1S97, In a set game on even terms, and, although he had a very escape, succeeded in w'nnlng after a highly interesting encounter that lasted thirty-seven moves. In the game Young had the temerity to offer a King's) Gambit, sacrificing a pawn at the start. Janowski accepted It, and prepared to repel a vigorous assault upon his king's quarters. Not content with being- on the defensive, the visiting muster took matters in his own hands and attacked on his own account. It then was Young's turn to guard his monarch, as his opponent sacrificed a piece for two pawns in order to drive him into a corner.

Young, however, returned a piece and obtained a satisfactory development. It was give and take after that, but finally Young won the black queen for a rook and knight. He should have scored the game in aue course, uut the resource-I fulness of the master then came in evl-I deuce. I When the pieces were located just right for his scheme, Janowski brought off a pretty little combination that won his adversary's queen and left hlin with a piece to the good.

SUIT OR OVERCOAT To Your Measure J.

B. DOBLIN TAILOR Fulton and fay Brooklyn over-development, that Inevliably the man that goes from one country to tho other haj very inucn to learn und finds himself always somewhat in the position of a cripple becoming king in the country of able-bodied blind men. "In fact, I think there could not possibly bt anything more useful than ths exchange of Ideas toward the solution of these most complicated problems of city growth, involving as they do not only billions of dollars, but the health and happiness of tbe people, the prosperity of thousands of communities, the life chance for the generation to come; in short, the fate of nation; for every nation is today becoming more and more a nation of citizens. 1. of city dwellers, of men who all.

nearly without any exception, depend somehow on cities and their prosperity, be It the big cities, tbe national centers ot affairs or the smaller communities that like the planets cluster around the central suns that give them heat and light and economic vitality. "It made an Impression for life on my mind three years ago, when, coming home from America (where I had been the secretary of the Boston city planning exhibition and was following a call to organize the still greater exhibitions in Berlin and Duesseldorf which had the same object). I saw how at that, time the leading city planners in Germany got interested, sometimes quite enthusiastically, in the news I could tell them about the achievements of some American cities In laying out streets and playgrounds developing rapid transit, suburban areas and local taxation. "On the other band, all the blunders the newer German school of city planners is trying bard to avoid ars apparently hlng made freely In American cities. These fast growing and wealthy American cities seem sometimes by dangerous misunderstandings in their planning to make It a point to Indulge in those mistakes that ern either avoided in European city nlannlng or the undesira-bility of which hxs been proved again and again by the searching and unbiased expert.

Lessons to Be Learned hy City Plan-ners, "Every city plan, even It it be as cultivated as the one of Washington made in the year 3 800, needs a continuous process of adaptation to the ever changing needs of a developing city. This Intelligent re-adaptation In Washington came about only one hundred years later by the work of a commistior that, though it emphasised in a somen tat one-sided manner the spectacular part, was, by its being composed ot ten leading in the city planning thought, Frederick L. Olir.stead, Daniel M. Buruham, McKIm and St. Gau-djns, a rnodc-l city planning commission.

The two spasmodic efforts toward realizing the conception oj a great city, separated as they were by a hundred years, were yet sufiicient to assure Washington of holding its own in the rivalary with the European capitals. "The meaning of city planning is mainly three-fold. The three great questions underlying every development are the arrangement of transportation tor goods and persons, including the efficient adaptation ot the traffic scheme to the needs of the areas used for Industry, and the proper connections between a well-adapted central business district, on the one side, and residential areas on the other sile. Secondly, there is the question of the distribution and reservation of open spaces, that Is, playgrounds and parks; and. thirdly, the outlying street system.

Including, ns it does, the plotting out of building sites adapted to various purposes between the streets, be they wide streets for the accommodation of main traffic or iust the cozy little streets and paths that divide up the areas of pleasant suburbs and garden districts. "Above these three main needs of city planning, on quite another level. Is the artistic question, tbe desire, and sometimes the power to do all that Is needed, not in any common and ugly way, but in a decent, perhaps even in an artistic fashion. More important still than this artistic side of it something which sne-clally applies to the planning of public buildings and residential areas, Is the necessity of doing the whole city planning work, not on a small scale, but in a far-sighted, In a really big way. I should say this Is still more Important, because it applies, not only to the artistic sldo, but also to the very economic foundation of the echeme, to the Industry and transportation side."

Adv, n-oo Z( VP Hole. CHILD'S MOTHER MISSING, Neighbors Attracted by Cries, Find Shocking Conditions in Tifth Avenue Plat. The sound of a child's bitter crylnf which- persisted all yesterday afternooa led finally, last night, to a discovery, at 593 Fifth avenue, what agents of the S. P. C.

C. assert Is without a parallel In all their dealings with cases of cruelty to children. In a room barely larger than a closet, with locked window and door, the floor covered with indescribable filth, they found a 8-year-old girl whose only clothing was a thin shirt, horrible with dirt. According to the Children's Society officers, the child had been a prisoner in the wretched cubby-bole tor a period which they did not venture to name. Mrs.

Mary Murtha of 695 Fifth avenue, whose Investigation of the girl's cries led to the discovery of her condition, told the officers that she had not seen the girl for a year. Other neighbors made this same statement, and the S. P. C. C.

agents said that the child had told them she had been kept a prisoner in the room ever since her mother had moved to the place. The family has lived there for a year. On this Information the officers took the youngster to the rooms of the Children's Society last night and made a charge of improper guardianship against the mother. Tney spent the evening in searching for the mother, but up to midnight had not been able to find her. According to the information the police have, the child is Irene Powell.

Her mother Is the wife of Michael Moran, a 'longshoreman employed at the Bush Docks. She was formerly Mrs. Anna Powell, and was married to Moran about seventeen months ago. There is one child, seven months old. by this marriage, and there is also another girl.

Hazel, 4 years of age. The discovery ot the oldest youngster In the frightful place where she said she had been kept prisoner, was made after Mrs. Murtha had heard cries coming from the Moran rooms for a long time. She called the attention of Mrs. Jennie Hooper, who lives on the third fioor at 593 Fifth avenue, to the cries, and then investigated with Mrs.

Hooper. They decided that the sound came from the rear of tho Moran flat, but they could not gain entrance to the place. Mrs. Murtha remembered, however, that a shed in the rear of the house afforded passage from her rooms to the rear of the Moran flat and she climbed along it until she reached a window that she had never seen opened since the Morans moved next door to her. The shutters were closed tight in front of the window and Mrs.

Murtha forced them open. They disclosed a condition so dreadful that Mrs. Murtha was afraid to go further. She could make out an Iron bed. without mattress or coverings of any kind, a floor tiiat was covered with dirt, and in the corner a huddled form that she could just barely discern was a child She went at once to the Fifth avenue police station and told of the circumstances.

The police called the S. P. C. C. Agents Edward J.

Raynor and Sylvester Nash got to the place at once and were forced to break the window of the room In order to gain entrance. Not until then were they able to determine that the youngster who had been found was alive. The officers found the conditions Just as Mrs. Murtha had seen them, and noticed besides that the fioor was littered with crusts of bread and other remnants ot food. The youngster cried pitifully as the officers took her up, and begged that they would not tell her mother.

She was provided with clothing by Mrs. Murtha and then was taken down to the Children's Society rooms. After Bhe had gone the officers made another investigation and found that the only opening in the room where the child had been kept was through a small hole which had been cut In the bottom of the door. Irene asserted at. the Ch'ldren's Society that she had been fed through this small opening during the time that she had been kept there.

ATHLETE ELLER INJURED Policeman Twisted Ankle Stopping Runaway Horses. A runaway horse and coach has put Policeman John W. Eller of the Greenpolnt avenue station, champion hurdler of the world, and a member of the American Olympic team In 1912, out ot athletics for some time, and possibly for all time. Ellers was returning to his borne last evening from the station house on a Nassau avenue car. As it reached the corner of Diamond street and Nassau avenue a runaway team of horses attached to a coach came tearing down Diamond street.

Eller saw it comiug and sprang from the car to stop it. He made a tuinu as the team reached the corner, and rmrhi I hod of the bridle. He was carried three block before he succeeded in stopping the frightened horses. When they were brought to a standstill, Eller fell back on the street, unable to help himself. Passersby ran to pick him up.

and found his left ankle injured. Some one summoned Dr. Watts from St. Catherine's Hospital. The examination he made on his arrival showed the ankle and instep badly twisted and swollen.

He removed the policeman athlete to his home in North Henry street, asserting that he would be laid up for a considerable time. Henry Kiefor of 69 Guernsey street was the driver ot the coach. He had stopped his horse a abort dlBtance in fronnt of Nassau avenue and goine Into a store. In his absence from them the horses became frightened and bolted. TO TURN DOWN RILEY.

Mr. Bedford stated that the factory was now running under a full twenty-four-hour schedule and turning out an enormous output. The topographical location of Akron is such that these factories, located on tbe high ground, would be In no way affected and the transportation problem would be the only one to bother the rubber men In case of a flood. The assurances received from several of the factories Is welcome news to motorists who may have been alarmed over the situation, Dr. Werner Hegemann of Berlin Heard at University Club and the City Club.

PRAISE FOR SOME THINGS. Borough President McAneny Indorses City Plan Movement, of Which Dual Subways Is a Part. Dr. Werner Hegemann, on, of th leaders In German city planning movements, especially in Berlin, shattered several cherished American Idols at the University Club, Brooklyn. last night, where he was the guest at a dinner, and afterward made an address to about two hundred members of the club, city officials and members of the Brooklyn Committee on City Plan.

Dr. Hegemann criticised especially the unexampled condition which has beeu permitted to grow up In lower Manhattan, where huge thirty and forty-story buildings are run upon plots originally Intend ed "by decent Dutchmen for decent two or three-story homes." He Illustrated this by etereoptlcon views showing the chaotic conditions existing around City Hall, Manhattan, where low buildings are sandwiched In alongside of huge Bky-scrapers, making a weird, higgledy-piggledy effect. Such a condition has caused a widespread cry ot horror to go up In Germany, he declared, whenever It Is proposed to erect a building ot the skyscraper variety. Dr. Hegemann tempered his criticism with much praise, however, and gave unreserved Indorsement to the erection of towers like the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building fronting on a great open parked space as at Twenty-third street, Manhattan.

The skyscrapper itself is not undesirable, he pointed out, save when it Is crowded Into such narrow compass and with such little regard for order as in lower Manhattan. He also questioned the desirability of creating great railroad terminals within the city and declared that It Is the aim of Berlin and other cities, notably English cities to have the railroads carry their lines Into and through the city Instead ot bringing their passengers to the gate ot the city and, their dumping them out. Borough President McAneny Indorses Dr. Hegemann's Views. At the City Club, Manhattan, where Dr.

Hegeman also addressed an Interesting audience ot about two hundred at one ot the Saturday afternoon City Club luncheons, Borough President McAneny of Manhattan pointed out. that this very idea the City of New York Is now trying to carry out and will carry out in Its dual subway and transit system. The idea was prominent in the minds of the city officials and the force of It was clear to them, he declared, when they were trying to evolve the dual system and tt was forced upon the transit companies, which would rather have laid out the routes on mere commercial railroad lines had not the city conferees and the members of the Public Service Commission had the broader idea of the development of the city in mind. "The man to first bring this idea to the attention of the city officials." declared President McAneny, and the man to whom the city is, therefore, primarily Indebted for It, Is former Public Service Commissioner Edward M. Bassett, who spent several years abroad making a study ot Just such problems, and who gave us the benefit of those observa tions.

President McAneny also declared that the hodge-podge skyscraper effects criticised by Dr. Hegeman would be regulated in the future If possible through a commission appointed to regulate the heights of buildings. Such a commission he has recently succeeded In having appointed to act In an advisory capacity to the members of the Board of Estimate. "it is an entering wedge," declared Mr. McAneny; "I fraukly admit it, now that I have the commission an entering wedge through which we hope to drive In the broader principle of city planning.

New York Behind Other Cities in Planning Movement. "New York has lagged even behind our own American cities In city planning. It is a commonly accepted fact that we are suffering today from the lack of city planning In the past. But there is still time to correct the evil. This morning I spent three hours on a tour of Inspection ot the transit routes In Queens and 1 came back as I always do after making such a trip through our suburbs with the added conviction that unless we start soon to have an orderly plan ot development wa will have to spend millions in the future for whet we could now accomplish at comparatively trifling cost and energy.

"It we ar going to permit our people to build three, four or five buildings on one ordinary plot and then turn the occupants out In narrow street to tax our transit lines beyond all reasonable congestion, the blame is on us. But I don't think we will. I promise you that, these words will net. be lost on the people -who represent you In the city government." President McAneny referred to two bills shortly to be Introduced Into the Legislature regarding city planning, one of which gives to cities of the first-class power to appoint a commission on city planning with a veto right on all public Improvements which affect the proper growth of the city, unless thy are laid out In accordance with a far-sighted scheme. Parallel Conditions Between Brooklyn and Berlin.

Dr. Hegeman drew a parallel between certain conditions which exist in Berlin and conditions which exist In Brooklyn when he referred to the that some of the wealthiest elasaea are removing from Berlin, thus taking their wealth out ot the city, because conditions surrounding their homes were not uiade attractive enough to influence tliern to remain. "I understand that that Is the condition with regBrd to your own Brooklyn Heights," he declared, "which would be attractive enough to satisfy anyone." Dr. Ewart G. Culpin, a prominent city planner from England, and John Nolan, who has replanned many small cities In this country, were other speakers at the City Club.

"City government does not originate public sentiment, it reflects It," declared Mr. Nolan, "consequently, you will find that the officials will not much longer remain deaf to the growing demands of the people for safe, sane and healthy sun mi lhcii ciues. Dr. Hegeman In his address said in part: I "The mini that comes from nn. great civilized countries to another must always feci at the same time like a kinir and like a beggar, so much has he both to envy and to regret.

Especially )s this true for the student of city planning affairs. Coutitrles that have proved to bo able to produce, maintain and develop what I may call the dreadnoughts of modern iMilfiire hio- citlen 1 a three, four, or like America the five, or likt' England even the nine-million type of citified land those countries are bound to possess such a variety of Powers unheard of In all the history and the serious drawbacks going necessarily with any kind ot.
