Th- place Magner is after e-arries with it a alary of a yenr. Magner's name has been presented to Governor Glynn by the executive commit tee of tho anti-Tammany Jeffersonlan Alliance, of which Biirth S.

Cronln, the former South Brooklyn State Senator, is chairman. Governor Glynn has written a letter to the committee acknowledging the claims of the Independent Democrats, and saying that "Mngner's name will receive consideration." The Anti-Tainniany Jeffersonlan Alli ance a few weeks ago proposed Magner for the position ot Corporation Counsel to succeed -Archibald Watson in Mayor-elect Mltchel's new cabinet. I According -to statements of the Antl-Tammany Jeffersonlan leaders today, they were all ready to submit hln name formally to the Mayor for that job when tho word was passed down to them that it would be useless because' Mltched had made up his, mind to give that place to a Manhattanlte. This was why they ceased I'UsliIng him for a place in the city admin istration and went after the Court o' Appeals job. Magner was described today to be in "receptive mood" toward the Assoclat Judgeship.

In fact his friends said he was more anxious, to ee't that tha he had been to land In the Corporatioi. Colins'elshlp.

"We think that this place should to a Brooklyn man." said Thomas Whitlock. today. "Kings County for merly had two men in that, body, Judge1, Dartlett and Cullen. The latter has retired and the vacancy rightly belungs to There will lie another vacancy in the Court of Appeals after-January 1.

Tha is the seal now hold by designation by Frank H. Hiscork. This place must he filled by a Justice new sitting in the Supreme Court bee-ause of a law passed some time ago. allowing the Governor to deslgnnto a justice, of that court to sit. with the Court of i Appeals as an associate ludge.

It 2s i AT CHRISTMAS MASS Widow of Mayor Charms at St. Thomas Aquinas With "Ave Maria." i Jttev. James Donoliue. LL.D,. Rec tor of St.

Thomas', Was Close friend of Mayor Oaynor. Few pcrsuns who attended the solemn high inais' at tho Church of St. Thomas Aquinas. Ninth street and Fourth avenue, at 11 o'clock on Christmas morning, knew that the sweet-voiced singer, who stood, dressed in deep mourning, in tho choir loft at the rear of the church during the offertory and snug Gounod'3 "Ave Maria," was Mrs. William J.

Gay-nor, widow of the late Mayor. There were very few persons even among Mrs. Cayuor's intimate friends, who knew that she could sing, but the news ot her Christmas solo leaked out today, nud with It tho knowlcelge that Mrs. Gayuor has a trained voice of power and sym-path Mrs. Oaynor arrived at tho church in a cab.

accompanied, it is believed, by Miss Helen Guynor. whose reported engagement to E. T. Bedford was recently denied. Both women were dressed in deep mourning.

They went immediately into the chulr loft, where they remained throughout the entire celebration of the mass. The fact 'that Mrs. Gaynor regularly attends St. John's Episcopal Church 116. Seventh avenue nnd St.

John's place' lends addend Interest to her singing la a Catholic church ou Christmas morning. When the Rev. James Donoliue, I.L.D.. rector of the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas, who was a very close friend of Mayer Cnynor, wus asked today how It happened that Mrs.

Gaynor visited nis cnurcn to sing the "Ave Maria," ho declined to have nnythlng lo say In regard to the mutter. The Gounod setting of the "Ave Maria" Is one of the most beautiful that has been made. Mrs. Gaynor sang with organ accompaniment and a violin obligate, nnd many persons in the church commented afterward on the of her voice, although thoy were unaware of her identity at the time. SCHOOL BOARD WINS SUIT.

Nassau County Treasurer Must Fny $7,719.39, Justice Benedict Says. Daniel Hegeman, treasurer of Nassau County, is directed to pay $7,719.39 to the Board of Education of Union Free School, Hempstead, in a decision handed elown by Justice Benedict in the Supremo Court today. This sum was collected in taxes under the designation of "school assessments" and was paid by the taxpayers with the understanding that it was for educational purposes. A school collector' had beeu unable to collect It, but tho County Treasurer secured the money later. Then the supervisors refused' to give it over to the Board of Education.

Meanwhile, the School Board had to meet expenses with borrowed money. DO-SOMETHING CLUB. The Do-Somcthlng Club fund Is richer today by $18 than it was yesterday, tho total amount contributed to dato being $2,216.42. Of the contributions received this moinlng $15 came from G. H.

Police Insist Taxi Chauffeur Was Not at Fault and Make No Arrest. Richard Biaud Lea, the Brooklyn-Itej, who was run down with ilia wife at I o'clock on Friday morning at Sixty-sixth street and Broadway by a ta.ticab, has a chance' cf recovery. Ho Is at the Polyclinic Hospital. Manhattan, and to- the surgeons held a conference to de termine if there was need for an operation. Mr.

Lee does not know that his wife was killed li: the accident. He has not been oble to make any connected statement since 1' was hurt, although he has spoken a tjw words. The physicians Informed his father-in-law. Colonel Philip F. Harvey, assistant surgeon general, V.

S. retired, that they did not think skull was fractured, but a uurso at the hospital stated today that such was the case, and that Mr. Leo had shown little improvement. Mrs. Lee's funeral Occurs ou Monday Colonel Harvey feels that his son-in-law will recover.

In the meantime he Is computing the arrangements for bis daughter's funeral. She will be burled II o'clock ou Monday morning from Calvary Church, at Fourth avenuo and Twenty-first street, Manhattan, and the body placed in a receiving vault in Luth eran Cemetery pending the outcome ui Mr. Lee's Injuries. Mrs. Lee's first husband, Convllle Arnold, who died In 1907, was an army man and the son ot Rear Admiral C.

H. Arnold. U. S. retired, who is now living in Paris.

She was very popular in armv circles and scores of sympathizing messages have been received at the Lee home, 111 East Seventeenth street, from army men, who were friends of husband and wife. Mrs. Lee's two children, Convllle Arnold, Li. and Frances Arnold, 7 years old. spent a sad and lonesome Christmas, which even 11 Christmas tree had no power to make any happier.

The 111 lie boy has been told of his mother's death, but the girl does not yet know, and thinks her mamma Is just away for a little while. "The boy Is a manly little chap, and he Is to be my mainstay now," said Colonel Harvey, today. Mr. Lee formerly lived in Greene avenue. Brooklyn, and hohis a very respon sible position with the American Sugar Refining Company In Wllliamsourg.

After their marriage the Lees moved to Richmond Hill, L. I. Colonel Harvey Says Chauffeur Com mitted Manslaughter. "I feel," said Colonel Harvey, In discussing the fatality, "that the chauffeur of the taxicab, if he was not guilty of murder, at least committed homicide or manslaughter. He must have been very careless or this thing could not have happened.

"That particular part of Broadway is brilliantly Illuminated and chauffeurs should go slow at crossings, but this man seems to have been speeding his car at least twenty miles an hour, which he bad no right to do. "I wish something might be done to curb the criminal recklessness of automobile drivers. It Is something that the newspapers should get after. "I doubt the chauffeur's story that there was another automobile which knocked my daughter nnd Mr. Lee Into the path of his machine.

Maroon-colored automobiles are rather scarce, and, then, he says there were three women in the maroon car, and women talk. Something would have been heard of the accident from them, if his story is true." Police Have Not Arrested De Forest, the Taxi Driver. The police of the West Sixty-eighth street station ure also convinced that the car of Harry De Forest, whose taxi struck the Lees was the only car to figure In the accieient. The police have not arrested De Fonst, for they say they feel that Mrs. Lee's death was the result of an accident which could not have been avoided.

Lieutenant Bonnoi! of the West Sixty-eighth street station, who with Detectives Bresnan and Sharp" have been Inquiring into the circumstances. Baid, today, that he was convinced that the fatality was due to an accident. Acsistant District Attorney Luclen llrei'kenridgo and Coroner Holtzhauscr questioned Dc Forest at length, but neither found any reason for arresting him. It was very windy at. the time of the accident, and Mr.

Lee, who was holding his wife's arm. was shielding her with an umbrella. It was so winely that the umbrella of Colonel Harvey, who had preceded his daughter and son-in-law downtown, was blown Inside out. The wind was Btrong enough to blow pedestrians out of their course.
