MISS POTTER TO SPEAK Suffrage Campaigner Will Stump Home City a Week.

Miss Adelia Potter, whose work in the Woman Suffrage movement has earned her a place among the foremost speakers 011 the subject, will make a whirlwind tour of Brooklyn, beginning Monday, October 4. For more than a year she has been touring the country, and now is speaking daily in Pennsylvania. Through the efforts of the local Suffragists, her dates have been arranged so she can campaign a week here, in her home city. She is expected to arrive Sunday evening, and intends to make three addresses a day. Miss Potter's last public appearance here was in January, when spoke in the First Reformed Church, on "Christianity and Woman Suffrage." Most of her speeches will be delivered in the open air.

DENIES ROW IN ALLIANCE. Head of Italian-American Body Scores Former Members. Francis L. Carrao, president of the Italian-American Alliance, emphatically denied today that there was any dissension in his organization, "as some disappointed member falsely gave out to the newspapers." Mr. Carrao said his refusal to allow the Alliance to be used by one of the members for the purpose of helping blackhand criminals is the only cause for two or three members getting out and trying to make it appear that there were rows in the Alliance.

Mr. Carrao said: "There are two or three fellows in the organization who tried to get our Alliance to support the Tammany local ticket. We won't stand for it. There is no faction, no rows in our organization, except those these two fellows tried to make. They are now out, and we are mighty glad of it." EXPLAINS AMERICAN LEGION.

Chairman Says New Defense League Hides no Propaganda. Alexander M. White, chairman of the board of directors of the American Legion, explained the purposes of the organization yesterday a "war luncheon" in the Technology Club, Grammercy Park, Manhattan. The distinction between the legion and other societies organized to carry on preparedness, he said, was that the legion did not cloak any propaganda. "We are doing work that the Government ought to do," he said, "and we are in hopes we can convince the officials at Washington that they ought to do this work." Mr.

White explained that the legion had a great deal of useful data that would be turned over to the Government upon request. HAITIENS PROMISE TO BE GOOD. Agree to Lay Down Arms and Stop Resistance. Cape Haitien, September 30-The Haitien rebels who have been resisting the American troops, resulting in several fatal encounters recently, have agreed to lay do down their arms.

Flint, War Inspired, Turns His Flier to "Murder Ship" "Three of My Ships Would Settle War," says Brooklyn Bombs in One DischargeI want to Get Back at Teutons--England Can Have My Ship If She Pays for It." The war fever has at last seized hold on Carl Howard Flint, captain, inventor and designer of the "TransAtlantic Flier," and he has made an important change in the plans for his giant hydroplane, on1 which he has been working for the last eight years.

Eagle readers will remember that Captain Flint hoped to cross the Atlantic in thirty hours in 1916-what he was waiting for was the necessary capital to construct the flier. For eight years he permitted nothing to swerve him from the purpose which had occupied him all his daylight hours and often far into the night, when other less ambitious souls; were asleep, but the tremendous upheaval in Europe has swept the captain along with it. Now he has turned his flier into an "engine of destruction." He is longing to get in a few whacks at the ancient foes of his people, the Prussians. Captain Flint walked into The Engle office yesterday to tell an old friend that he was no longer a man of peace, but as warlike as any of his Viking ancestors. He asked the friend to visit him at his quaint little shop, 48 Henry street, where he would unfold his "big idea." The shop with frosted windows, which shut out the prying eyes of the curious and preserve the mystery of wonderful America, resting in all the glory of its aluminum wings, on a pedestal draped with the American flag, wore a strange aspect.

This was explained when the captain led the way to a rear room, cluttered with boxes. In these were the famous Flint charts, plans and models, the pictures of the late King Christian, of Denmark, Gustavus of Sweden, Haakon of Norway and Abraham Lincoln. The captain was ready to leave on the instant for England to offer his airship to the Allies--for a proper financial consideration, of course. 4T Want to Fight and I Have the 'Murder "I thought this war was going to stop," he said, "but there does not seem to be an end to it, and I am BLIND MAN ASPHYXIATED He Made Brooms to Keep His Mind Occupied. When Mrs.

Ray Morrison called to visit Edgar M. Smith, a blind broom maker, in his shop at 219 Park avenue, yesterday afternoon, she that he was lying on the floor, asphyxfated by gas, which was blowing from a broken gas cock. The man had tempted a heavy chair on to shelf, doing so had broken thalft the jet, from which the gas flowed. Smith came from a well-to-do family in Brooklyn, and did not need to work, which he did to occupy his time. He was a general favorite in his neighborhood, and his familiar figure was known to everyone.

He had been a member of the Simpson M. E. Church, at Willoughby and Clermont avenues, for many years, prior to which he was the organist of the Knickerbocker M. E. Church.

He was a member of the Twentieth Ward Association. Smith had been blind since he was three weeks old. He is survived by four sisters, Mrs. F. C.

Van Terren. Mrs. W. V. Collins, Miss Grace A.

Smith and Miss Clara C. Smith; a brother, Arthur M. Smith, and a grandmother, Mrs. K. J.

Hyatt, of 174 Park a avenue. The funeral services will be held Friday evening, at his late home. They will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. W.

J. Thompson of Drew Seminary. STORM WARNING. The local Weather Bureau today received the following special from Washington: "Tropical storm has passed inland to interior of Mississippi and has diminished intensity. It will move northeast.

By golly, I want to getting I have turned Flint's Trans-Atlantic Fier into Flint's 'Murder and his big laugh went rolling clear across Henry street. Lovingly he tapped the sides of the wonderful America. "It has needed few changes," he explained. "Holes in the hull--closed with shutters when the airship is on the water -through which the bombs can be dropped and torpedo tubes.

Of couse I have some secrets up here," and he pointed to his sleeve. "If the English Government will come to an agreement with me it can have them, weeks ago a man came here who said that he represented the English Government. He had been traveling about the world gathering ideas of use to his -learning what he could about torpedoes, buying amhere and there.

"It is a wonderful boat--a wonderful boat," and Captain Flint, placed his hand on the shoulder his itor. "I have fixed it SO that it can drop thirty bombs at a time, carrying 15,000 pounds of cargo and fifty men. Three of these ships would settle the war.

In two hours I could turn Berlin into a heap of ashes." "Three of My Ships to Offset Germans and War Would End." "Would you have it armored?" asked the visitor. "Well, of course. I could, but before the Germans could build one like it the war would be over. Three airships--that would be all we would need." sketch The captain showing how handed bombs his could visitor be a dropped from both sides of the airship once and from the bottom as well las the sides. The prospect of ending the war with one grand coup and putting a permanent crimp in the tail of the double-headed Prussian eagle made him chuckle with satisfaction.

"The Germans have tried to get this plan of mine, but no danger," he said. "I would not sell it to them. But don't bring them down around me or they might shoot me before I got a chance at them," and again his laugh boomed forth heartily. As told in previous articles, Captain Flint displayed sufficient inventive genius to interest officers of this Government in his model and many other persons with a knowledge of aeronautics visit his office constantly to inspect his ship. He has had promises from several sources that capital would be furnished to enable him to bring his plans to fruition.

OFFICIALS MAKE SPEECHES. Betsy Head's Portrait Presented and Her Daughter Takes Part in the Exercises. Betsy Head Playground, the modern of New York's recreation ters for children and mothers, was dedicated this afternoon in Brownsville.

with speeches by leading citizens of the section and public officials. There were athletic games and playground exercises by the children. There was a procession by all school children of the district at the opening of the exercises, and then Mrs. Frederick W. Bodley, daughter of Betsy Head, the Massachusetts whose donation to the Park Department resulted in the new playground, superintended the raising of the flag.

After that the thousands who attended the ceremonies heard the playground praised and watched the children in the activities with real pleasure. The new memorial playground is at Hopkinson and Dumont avenues, in the center of a congested district. It is the largest playground in the city, and in it provisions have been made for keeping a great many children interested in games, farm work and other forms of recreation, while space has ben provided for mothers and small babies, to be out in the open air. It is the result of a clause in the will of Betsy Head, leaving to New York a large sum for playgrounds for children. The money had never been used, and it was not until the Brownsville residents began to ask Controller Prendergast for it that the foundation of the playground was established.

To subscribe the remaining money necessary, the residents gave everything they possibly could, and thus made possible an extension to the original plans and a much larger recreation center. Former Alderman Alexander S. Rrescher opened the exercises today with a speech of welcome to the thousands who gathered at the playground. "We had for chief magistrate of the city, the late Mayor said Mr. Drescher, "who was chiefly instrumental in securing the adoption of the Board of Estimate resolution, which took effect July 31, 1913, making this playground possible.

All our hearts were bowed down in sorrow at Mayor Gaynor's death, because he was unable to see the result of his efforts in our behalf. "Another great friend died just a year later. That was James E. Sullivan of the recreation committee, and let us hope that these children will live up to the undying devotion to country and city, that was possessed by these two McAneny and Pounds Among the Speakers. George McAneny, President of the Board of Aldermen, was the next speaker, and he, too, had words of praise for the men who made the playground possible.

Like Borough President Lewis H. Pounds, who lowed him to the speaker's stand, Mr. McAneny praised the efforts of the section and the work of the men and women of Brownsville had done. Mrs. V.

G. Simkhovitch, a member of the public recreation committee, was another speaker, taking the stand after the band had played several selections. Cabot Ward, president of the Park Board, and Alderman I. M. Rosenblum also spoke, and were followed by General George W.

Wingate, the present president of the Public Recreation Commission. Chairman Simon H. Kugel, chairman of the Brownsville Playground advisory committee and chairman of the meeting, presented to the playground a portrait of Betsy Head. In his presentation speech he congratulated General Wingate, the Brownsville Board of Trade, ex-Alderman Drescher and Mrs. Eimkhovitch for the work they have done.

He said, in part: "In our words of praise we must not forget the property owners and taxpayers of this district, who voluntarily submitted to a taxation for the purpose of paying the cost of this site. Their generosity has thus not only materially contributed toward making this playground possible, and making the entire Betsy Head 1 fund available for improvements, but has get an example of good citizenship, one that should be followed in other sections of the city, and one that will be referred to in the future as an example of unselfishness." The last speaker for the first part of the programme was Commissioner Ingersoll of the Park Department. He said, in part: "This is a notable day in the outdoor recreation life of Brooklyn. It is significant to our Department of Parks because we are soon to have put under our management a recreation center even more complete than the one we have been developing in Greenpoint. "All honor is due to Betsy Head, whose remarkable foresight and generosity is providing for this elaborate equipment.

"Scarcely less praise has been earned by the people and property owners of Brownsville. They had the civic spirit to be willing to pay for all this valuable land. They consented to an assessment for the purpose. "Surely the city will be no less liberal in providing adequate funds with which this splendid gift to the children can be properly administered."

Shirk, the lawyer, "came back" today, at Magistrate George E. Folwell, who refused, on Tuesday, to hear a case in which Shirk appeared before him, on the ground that in another case Shirk had represented him as saying things which he had not said. Shirk denies the magistrate's charge, says that he will appear before him again if it becomes necessary and that, if the magistrate refuses to hear him he will sue out a writ of mandamus compelling him to. Shirk issued a long statement, giving his version of what transpired in the case the magistrate had reference to. It was the case of a man named Burghart, says Shirk, in which Burghart complained that he had been assaulted by several members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

Shirk states that when he appealed to Magistrate Folwell for warrants for Burghart's assailants, on a charge of felonious assault, the replied that he would entertain complaint Court, of simple assault. He quotes the Court as follows: "I shall assume all that you can possibly say, and I tell officer's you now that I prefer to take the word, and if you wish a complaint against these men for assault in the third degree you may make it. Irrespective of whether or not he was hit with clubs or chairs, as he now claims, and as he is said once to have denied, the fact remains that his injuries as they appear to ine, do not warrant a charge of felonious assault. He has been beaten and abused but it is in iny judgment simple assault in the third degree. Endeavors have been made to convey to me, outside of court, in an irregular way, by men purporting to be friends of Burghart, statements about this case.

I refused to listen to them, but I do not feel free minded in the matter and therefore decline to hear case." Shirk includes in the statement coples of leters passing between him and the magistrate. Shirk wrote that the stenographer's minutes did not contain all that was said and that the latter took notes on a pad instead of in his notebook. The magistrate wrote to Shirk that his memory was incorrect as to certain things which were said in court. He also told him that when he was approached by persons who said they were acting in behalf of Burghart he told him that he did not care to hear anything from them outside 0. the courtroom; that he would hear what they had to say under oath in court.

Shirk also finds fault with the magistrate because he did not give him the names of the persons who approached him so that Shirk might have submitted the matter to the Grand Jury. His final fling is that: "Magistrate Folwell is a young man and has been appointed to office through influential friends and not by votes, and as we grow older we learn the error of our ways." Magistrate Folwell was informed of Shirk's statement and replied that he did not care to get into any controversy with the lawyer. "I think the language he attributes to me is substantially what I said," he continued. "Shirk has a way of inviting litigants into court when the cases are trivial. In the case he speaks of the injury was so ridiculous that no jury would have entertained ac harge of felonious assault.

The; was no evidence of any injury save slight contusions on the forehead. I told him that I did not care to burden the District Attorney's calendar with the case. As for the men who came to me, that is true. I sized them up and declined to hear them." "JOKE" NUPTIAL HITS FORTUNE. Mrs.

Dorgeloh Fights for $100,000 for Daughter. In an effort to have declared void a wedding ceremony which she went through In 1897 and which she says now was merely a joke, but which sho finds makes it impossible for her daughter by a second marriage to inherit a fortune of $100,000, Mrs. Estelle Dorgeloh, 34 years old, of 126 Park street, Brookline, today appeared before Justice Aspinall in the Supreme Court and asked him to annul her marriage to Alphonsus Murtagh on May 1, 1897. On Justice Aspinall's decision depends the legality of Mrs. Dorgeloh's two subsequent marriages and the legality of Murtagh's subsequent marriago, as well as the legitimacy of Mrs.

Dorgeloh's daughter, Beatrice Arabella Barker, and the latter's right to inherit $100,000 from the estate of her paternal greatgrandfather, Charles Barker. Mrs. Dorgeloh said the "wedding ceremony" which she went through with Murtagh at 27 Seventh avenue, in the presence of the Rev. Dr. MeCrossin, was only an effort on the part of a stage-struck 16-year-old girl to obtain a marriage certificate, which she had been led to believe was necessary before she could satisfy her ambition to become a great actress.
