Latest Proposed Amendment Con- cerus Pension Money. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 9-Mayor Mitchel is being urged to new amendment thate to the police bills which, leaving the right of court review as it stands today, would nevertheless operate to give the Commissioner enlarged powers over the force. The amendment would provide that when the Commissioner dismissed a man after trial he would return to him, with accumulated 4 per cent. interest, the contribution made by the policeman to police pension fund. This is all the amendment proposes, but an expert in police matters who is back of the plan says that this would take away from the discharged policeman the strongest ground of contention he has in court.

The matter is under consideration at the City Hall. DEATHS. MAC AR- March 8, 1914, MARGARET, sister of Anna MacAlear and Helen Fogarty. Funeral from her late residence, 424 St. Mark's av, day, 9:30 a.m.

WHITMAN HAS STRONG RIVAL. Political Destiny of Park Slope Leader a Mystery, But Livingston Is With Him. Representative William M. Calder be a candidate for Governor, United States Senator or just run for Congress again?" is the question Brooklyn Republicans are asking each other. The answer 1s invariable, either; "I don't know." or doesn't know." Friends of the Park Slope O.

P. leader have groomed him especially for the gubernatorial race, but the entries there are already crowded. District Attorney Whitman Job Hedges are ya both entered. His friends have also talked about him as a successor to Elthu Root in the Senate, but Root hasn't said he'd retire, and if he wants to go back, all faithful Republicans wil help him get there. That's admitted.

Mr. Calder himself will not say what he's going to do. "I have nothing to say," he said in typical McCooey verbiage when asked what his plans were today. Republican Executive Chairman Jacob A. Livingston is ready to support him for the gubernatorial nomination or for the senatorial toga if Mr.

Root doesn't want it. "I'm Calder for governor it he's a candidate," said Livingston. "Will you support him for the Senatorial nomination if he should prefer that?" Livingston was asked. "That depends," he replied. "If Mr.

Root is a candidate I guess every Republican would be for him." Friends of the Congresman have been sounding out sentiment throughout the State for several weeks. So far they have met with considerable discouragement in the returns from upstate where Whitman seems to be decidedly the favorite just now. Mr. Calder is very popular there, the Republican leaders feel that Whitman did not get a fair shake In the They take the stand that WhitMayoralty campaign. Sir.

man should have been nominated for Mayor on the fusion ticket, and inasmuch as he didn't get that they think he should be given an opportunity to go before the voters of the State and there get a chance at reward to which the upstaters believe is are entitled. Calder's friends, who are pushing his gubernatorial boom, are pinning their hopes on the possibility that the warfare between Hedges and Whitman will become so bitter that the leaders will induce both to withdraw in favor of a third candidate to preserve party solidarity. In such event Calder ould be the logical compromise as he is practically without aggressive opposition from any faction element of the G. O. P.

Adam Gensinger, 21 years old, of 179 Stanhope street, was held in $1,500 bail for examination tomorrow by Magistrate Dooley in the Gates avenue court yesterday charged with abduction of a 16-year-old girl.

McANENY IS ASKED I TO LICENSE TOMCATS Brooklyn Man Complains That They Disturb His Slumbers. IS A NEIGHBOROF CONTROLLER Aldermanic President Sends Copy of Late Mayor Gaynor's Effusion on Caterwauling on Park Slope. President McAneny, of the Board of Aldermen, proved himself today to be a calm, man of rare judgment.

His usual mental poise received a shock when reached his office in the rudol City Hall early this morning and opened his mail. He realized for the first time that as the presiding officer of the city's legislative body his official functions extended over the five boroughs in the city. Lewis H. Brown of 437 Fifth street, Brooklyn, a neighbor of Controller Prendergast, was the author of the communication that lay on President McAneny's desk. The subject that Mr.

Brown discussed was the activities of tomcats in his section. It was the most perplexing problem that was ever prethe official attention of Mr. McAneny, and it might be said that member of the Rapid Transit Committee of the Board of Estimate, the President of the Board of Aldermen has solved some intricate problems. This is the cat problem which Mr. Brown called to President McAneny's attention: Brooklyn, March 7, 1914.

President of the Board of Aldermen, New York. Dear Sir--Last night the cats kept us awake more than half the night with their fighting, etc. I wish to make a suggestion for the elimination of the noise. Wouldn't it be possible to license all tomcats? They are the aggressors. If there was a license of about $10 for keeping a tomcat, of which, say half should go to the person making the complaint, I believe nuisance would very quickly this disappear.

This would also make the cat a much more prized animal, and would do away with the stray cat trouble, each spring and summer. Cat fights would not stop by licensing the female cats, so you got to get an ordinance that will get the toms. Hoping you can do something for the relief of a useless nuisance and help the whole public. President McAneny pondered what he could do to give Mr. Brown the desired relief.

Then it suddenly occurred to him that the late Mayor Gaynor had written a treatise on the subject of tomcats. He got a copy of the Gaynor letter, which was written in March of 1912 to Theodore R. N. Gerdes. The late Mayor's letter seemed to be a fitting answer to Mr.

Brown's plaint, and President McAneny decided to send him a copy of it. It follows: "I regret to say that I have so many official duties pressing upon me that I cannot just now devote any time to the tomcats, as you request by your letter. There are a few in my neighborhood, but I go to sleep and let them howl. It amuses them and doesn't hurt me. But some say that it is the pussycats that howl, and not the tomcats.

How is that? We must not kill Tommy for the sins of Pussy. And, also, let us remember that the 'female of the species is more deadly than the However, the tomcats had better beware. President McAneny will transBrown's letter to the Board of Aldermen, where the Committee on General Welfare will be asked to draft an ordinance to compel the tomcats to behave. THE REV. A.

M. RIHBANY HERE. Preaches on the Parables of the Prodigal Sons. The Rev. Abraham M.

Ribbany, minister of the Unitarian Church of the Disciples in Boston, preached in the Second Unitarian Church, yesterday morning, choosing for his subject: "Tne Parable of the Prodigal Son of Buddha and of the Prodigal Son of Jesus." He said in the course of his sermon: Two great religions, Buddhism and Christianity, have come out of one country, and in many a ethical and spiritual points are identical. The similarity, for instance, between the parables of the Prodigal Son, the one from the Buddhist Bible, and the other, 500 years later, from the lips of Jesus, as recorded in the Christian Bible, are examples. Indeed, many eminent scholars, after careful study and research, have reached the conclusion that our Bible version was liberally copied from the Buddhist. Both Jesus and Buddha made generous use of parable in their teaching, which was the Oriental custom that time, and which practice still obtains in the East. The central word of Buddha is selfdiscipline; of Jesus self-surrender; now apply these two parables to our times.

They should be fused together and woven into our modern life for the good of all. Let us thank God for both Jesus and Buddha, and all other religlous teachers, who are striving to lead the race to on higher, nobler life. large congregation was present to hear Mr. Rihbany, who was warmly congratulated at the social reception succeeding the morning service.

W.

H. SQUIRE IS CONVERTED. At Fitst Opposed to Bills, He Introduces Resolution In Their Favor. Charles S. Aronstam, Progressive county chairman, still has hopes that the four out-and-out Bull Moose Assemblymen from Kings County will line up for Mitchel's police bills.

His hopes were raised by a Bull Moose mass meeting at the Logan Club yesterday afternoon, where a resolution approving the bills, was passed unanImously after a long and stormy session. The resolution finally adopted WAs introduced by W. H. Squire, treasurer of the Logan Club, who at the beginning of the meeting was against the bills, but who was converted during the session. Only one Moose Assemblyman attended the meeting, Henry Schieuemann, of the Nineteenth.

He said nothing during the meeting, but is listed opponent of the measures. "How about the others?" Aronstam was asked. "I think they'll come around to the proper viewpoint," he replied. "McRoberts of the Ninth is said to be against them; how about it?" "Ask him again," responded Aronstam. "How about Ittleman and Karpen?" "I think they favor the measures," he said.

George A. Green presided at the meeting yesterday and among those who spoke in favor of the bills beside Aronstam and William Hamlin Childs, C. J. Hamlin of Erie, who incidentally boomed Theodore Roosevelt for Goovernor: Mayor Louis W. Will of Syracuse, and Robert Binkerd, secretary of the City Club Manhattan.

Mr. Squire, the treasurer, at first branded the bills as but later, according to Mr. Aronstant, he introduced the resolution favoring the bills that was finally unanimously adopted. Next Sunday afternoon at the Logan Club there will be a conference on the unemployed and the speakers who have been invited to attend are Miss Frances Kellor, Lincoln Steffens and A. E.
