It seemeth such a little way to us Across to that strange country, the Beyond, And yet not strange, for it has grown to be The home of him of whom we are 50 fond. He makes it seem familiar and most dear, As journeying friends bring distant countries near. So close it lies that when our wight 18 clear We seem to see the gleaming of that strand. We know we feel him who has gone from here Come near enough to even touch our hand, And often think but for our velled eyes We would find heaven right 'round about 119 lies. We cannot make It seem a day to dread When from this dear earth we shall journey out To.

that still dearer country of the dead, And join our dear one 90 long dreamed about. We love this world, yet we shall love to go To meet the one who waits for uR, we know. And so to us there la no sting to death, And HO the grave has lost its tory. It Is but crossing with suspended breath And white, set face, little strip of sea, To find him walting on the other shore, More beautiful, more prec'ous than His wife, LIDA P. BELL.

WORK ON NEW HOUSE IN ARGYLE ROAD HALTED AS COURT UPHOLDS RESTRICTIONS RESTRICTIONS HOLD IN RESIDENCE PARK Diller Will Have to Home in Prospect Park South.

APPELLATE COURT DECIDES. Upholds Agreement in Deed ing Rights of Property Owners. That restrictions actually restrict in a "restricted residential neighborhood," and that a violation of any of their clauses likely to prove costly to the offender, is shown in the suspension of operations on a new dwelling started Argyle road near Albermarle road, in the section known as Prospect Park South, the frame work of which has reached the second story. The cost of correcting the violation will reach upward of $2,000. The foundations for the proposed building have encroached within the five foot restriction from the north line of the plot in violation of the deed of the property, which spectied plainly as to the style of house and location of the building walls on the lot so as to maintain an alignment that would be harmonious.

The injunction restraining Frank J. W. and Diller, owners of the property, from completing the dwelling was granted recently by the Appellate Division, Justice Putnam writing the opinion. The suit was instituted by Eva Thompson, owner of the adjoining lot, who complained that the encroachment would effect the light, ventilation and appoarance of a house built upon her the property, position of the wall of the defend- and she further indicated that ants' would be detrimental to the general architectural effect in the locality. She also contended that she had purchased land in the block because of the restrictions contained in the deed.

It was brought out in the action that due notice was given to the defendants in time to avoid much expense in com-, plying with the restrictiona in the deed to the land. Work on the foundations for the dwelling was started in ber, and on December 10 the defendants were notified of the violation by counsel for the Prospect Park South Association. The defendants continued work on the building expecting that the Appellate Division would refuse to grant an injunction restraining them from finishing the structure on its present foundations. In order to comply with the requirements of the covenants of the agreement entirely new plans will have to be adopted for the Miller house. "The people who have settled in Prospect Park South," said one of the resi-; dents of the section, "have pald large prices for their property because of the restrictions which made it possible to live in 0 section where the homes were distinctive, and attractive, and where hodge podge styles in architecture would not be permitted.

The residents are all members of an association which has from its very beginning fought the very violation which has been stopped by the courts. The individual is not considered in its restrictions but the entire section, and no resident is permitted to build on his lot from line to line and thereby shut ou the air and light from his neighbor. In the case of the Diller house, the north wall takes away from the adjoining lot the open space intended by the provisions of the restriction. The decision in the Argyle road case affects not only Park the 250 lots comprising but other localities where property 19 the Prospect South development purchased under certain restrictions. It has long been a byword number of architecta, among a builders and property owners that restrictions, like some laws.

are made to be broken. The test case is considered not only a victory for the Prospect Park South Association, but a warning to those who attempt to violate the provisions of an agreement of this kind. TEAM IN RUNAWAY.

P. Goodrich, a Brooklynite With Three Jobs, Is City's Highest Paid Employee. TWO JOBS PAY HIM $14,400. In Addition, He Is Consulting Engineer to Inebriety Board on Fee Basis. Consulting engineer, Borough of Manhattan, $7,200.

Consulting engineer, Court House Board, $7,200. Consulting engineer, Inebriety Board, fees. Ernest P. Goodrich of 161 Henry street, Brooklyn, now enjoys the tinction of being the highest salaried employee in the service of the city. Mayor Mitchel and Controller Prendergast receive only $15,000 a year for the services which they render the city, Two salaries, which he receives for his engineering services to Borough President Marks in Manhattan and the Courthouse Board, aggregate $14,400.

The fees which he recelves for his engineering advice to the Board of Inebriety during the course of the year easily make his total compensation greater than the salaries received by the Mayor or Controller Prendergast. Professor Burr, in his capacity As Consulting Engineer to the Board of Water Supply, and in other municipal undertakings, was once regarded AS the highest paid employee in the ice of the city, but Consulting Engineer Goodrich, apparently, has wrested that honor from him. At the time of Professor Burr's a0- tivities, there was considerable criticism of the many different salaries which he was permitted to draw from the city treasury, but as yet no complaint has been heard against the 90V- eral salaries which Mr. Goodrich receives from the city. Mr.

Goodrich was appointed as consulting engineer of Manhattan when President McAneny became the ecutive head of that borough. Later, when the act was passed creating a Courthouse Board to arrange and supervise the building of new temple of justice in Manhattan, the board, in deference to Mr. McAneny, A8 the head of borough, selected Mr. Goodrich as the consulting engineer. Before this appointment came, Mr.

Goodrich was already in the employ of the Board of Inebriety, He was engaged to lay out the farm colony which that board proposes to establish in County to reclaim victims of Orange the alcoholic habit. It was arranged he was to be paid in fees for the that engineering advice he gave 1 from time to time. K. OF C. HONOR PATRON SAINT Long Island Council Holds Biggest Dinner of Its Career.

The dinner given, last night, in honor of Ireland's patron saint, by Long Island Council No. 197, Knights Columbus, at Trommer's Hall, Bushwick all pie previous ones. Fully 800 people avenue and Conway street, surpassed were present. Between the courses a vocal and instrumental programme was rendered. In the midst of the dinner Grand Knight James A.

Corcoran, who acted toastmaster, presented a chest of as silver, containing more than 100 pieces, to Past Grand Knight Joseph F. Hammill, who was also chairman of the committee in charge of the dinner and to whom most of the credit for the success of the affair is due. Mr. Hammill was taken completely by surprise. The speaker of the eve.in- was Dr.

John F. Coyle, one of the most wellknown members of the order in the State of New York. He talked on "The Irish in America." During the course of the dinner the following programme WaS rendered: Duet, "Rancheros," Miss C. Elizabeth Zimmer and. Frederick Merkert; song.

"Believe If All Those Endearing Young Charms," Miss Josephine H. Miller; vocal selections, James T. Gibson: song. "If They'd Only Move Old Ireland Over Grand Knight James A. Corcoran; recitation, John S.

Cox. The hall was handsomely decorated with evergreens, the national colors and Irish flaga. Just before Dr. Coyle began his address the hall lights were extinguished and a large harp, which hung in the center of the hall, was illuminated. The diners then joined in the choruses of a number of popular Irish airs.

Following the dinner the ballroom floor was cleared of the chairs and tables and a lengthy dancing programme was rendered. BLUE POINT WOMAN'S LEGACY. The will of George Morris of 143 Went 135th street, Manhattan, who died at Green Cove Springs, on February 5. was filed in the Surrogate's Court, in Manhattan, yesterday, To Lillian L.

ERASTUS E. FORD WAS IN HARRISON'S FINANCIAL SCHEME Is Man Who Promoted "World's Bible League" and Fund for Firemen's Families. HAS DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT. East New York Sunday School Man Not Responsible for Losses, He Claims. New light was thrown yesterday on the finances of Frank T.

Harrison, the East New York Sunday school teacher, and his company of "Christian men interested in all kinds of philanthropy," which came to grief recently in the bankruptcy court, when it became known that one of Mr. Harrison's associates In promotion of the comEnny was the Rev. Erastus E. Ford, who achieved publicity some few years ago as the promoter of the "World's Bible League." Mr. Harrison yesterday admitted that the mysterious E.

Ford," whose name came out in the course of the other Erastus E. Ford. Mr. Harbankruptey a proceedings, was none rison this acknowledgment after than, Harvey O. Dobson, a lawyer who represents some of Harrison's friends who put $11,000 into the venture of the Sunday school man, had practically established that the two Fords were one and the same.

Harrison was asked yesterday if the E. Ford" whom he had described ag a former minter, was not really the Rev. Erastus E. Ford. He immodiately grew suspicious and demanded! to know the purpose of the inquiry.

"What difference does it make. Just refer to him as E. E. Ford," he insisted. When pressed for answer, however, he finally admitted: "That's the man." Harrison named Ford R.

A. Silk as the two men who had first interested him in the "company." Both of these men dropped out of sight about a year ago, he claimed, and the creditors are now anxiously endeavoring to locate them. Mr. Dobson declared today that he had information which led him to believe that Ford would shortly ba found. There were several things beside the similarity of the names which inclined Mr.

Dobson today to give credence to the report that the Rev. Erastus E. Ford was the man behind Harrison. One of the strongest of these was the fact that the Sunday school teacher had described his acquaintance as "a former minister." The Rev. Erastus E.

Ford Was Well Known in Wall Street. The Rev. Erastus E. Ford was well known to Wall Street. For many years he mixed religion and speculation there and was at one time expelled from the Consolidated Stock Exchange.

Two years ago he gained considerable attention by his attempts to put through the Legislature a bill permitting the Incorporation of a "Bible League." After falling in New York State the league was finally incorporated in Connecticut. Some of the purposes of the league as outlined in the bill presented to the Legislature were: "To defend the Bible, to its principles, doctrines, promoted wisdom, both here and abroad, and sustain its authority as the sole warrant and charter for the existence of the Christian religion; to aid and advise persons who desire to give their property for the furtherance of Christian religion; to assist men In the ministry and their relatives and wards, by financial aid and otherwise, and provide, or aid in providing, for the support of clergymen of all denominations." The league was also to have broad powers in establishing and maintaining charitable or benevolent agencies, institutions or activities "in this and every other country." To raise money for it Ford planned to issue 6 per cent. gold bonds for "charitable and benevolent purposes." Sought to Raise Fund for Firemen's Families After Equitable Fire, At the time when Fireman William J. Walsh of Brooklyn was killed in the Equitable Building fire it niso developed that Ford was trying to enlist the aid of Walsh's widow in a scheme to appeal to people of the middle class to assist in the collection of a fund for Aremen's families. Mrs.

Walsh declared that he showed her papers with signatures he claimed to be those of John D. Rockefeller, J. Plerpont Morgan and other prominent and wealthy men who had indorsed the project. devoted much of his time to speculation schemes in Wall Street and in attempts to "beat the market." He kept an office at 6 Wall Street and once expressed the confident opinion that he could make "$100 a day with a hundreddollar bill, pad and a pencil." He was a regularly ordained gational minister and and at one time acted in the capacity assistant pastor of the Church of the Strangers, Manhattan. One of the features which Harrison Impreased most forcibly on those who invested money in his "company," the investors unite in saying, was that it had the backing of men of large philanthropic interests.

He also admitted, although cloaking the operations of the proposed company with a good deal of mystery, that the money put in was to be used in some species of "speculation." The speculation was supposed to be an absolutely safe one, however, because of the inside information possessed by the big men in the company. Who these men were, outside Ford and Silk, Harrison said he was not at liberty to divulge. "That was clearly understood by all who made investments," Harrison stated to an Eagle reporter at his home the other night. Regarding Harrison's representations to him on the subject, Frank Hockin of 107 Pine street, who saw $800 of his hard-earned savings vanish with the "company," had this to say recently in a letter to The Eagle: Say Harrison Spoke of Company's Great Financial Influence, "His description of the company was painted in glowing colors; that they controlled the placing of chiefly all the great preachers in all the principal churches; that their power was 80 great, equally in apostolic and financial circles, that panics in banks and 80 forth were no surprise to them; that they knew of it or knew that it was coming. "Several times I approached Harrison and requested him to let me have some daylight in the matter and let me know who they were and how things were progressing.

This he refused, his reason being that he did not want to have their identity known until such time ne they were ready to extablish themselves in offices better fitting their high and lofty stations.

HOLE IN SHOP WALL SHOWS PLOT ON BANK Burglars Working in Tailor Shop Next 26th Ward Branch of Mechanics Bank. HAD MADE LITTLE PROGRESS. Police Think Yeggmen Tried to Evade Alarms by Drilling Hole Through Wall. What appears to have been a daring attempt to rob the Twenty-sixth Ward Branch of the Mechinics Bank by burglars boring through an adjoining wall came to light yesterday when Ellis Lewis, a tailor, at 2586 Atlantic avenuo, discovered that his store had been entered and a piece of plaster half a foot square removed from the party wall.

From the bottom of the hole made by the removal of the piece of plaster another hole about the size of that made by a large nail was driven almost through. The burglars were evidently frightened off, although neither the police the watchman in the bank apparently were aware of their presence. A policeman is on post during the whole night at a point directly opposite the bank, yet the entry into the tailor shop was made without his being any the wiser. There is practically nothing in the tailor's establishment that would prove attractive to a burglar, in started the way of loot. Lewis had just to move in his stock preparatory to opening up the place, and had very little stuff on hand.

He did not arrive at the store to open until about noon, yesterday. When up he did he found that the door yielded easily to his touch, and closer examination revealed the fact that the lock had been forced. Nothing inside the store was disturbed save that portion of the wall from which the plaster had been dug out. The doors, windows and walls of the bank are protected with closely -strung burglar alarm wires. These, in addition to the watchman, always on guard during the night, supplement the steel vaults and safe.

It is supposed that the burglars sought to these electric wires, and also to work in better security by cutting throug the wall from the tailor shop. CAN'T GET RID OF JOBLESS Sacramento Officials Unable to Disband Gen. Kelly's "Army." Sacramento, March Kelly's army of the unemployed was still encamped today in Yolo County, to which it was driven from Sacramento on Monday. Yolo County officials were no nearer a solution of the problem of getting rid of the army than they were last Tuesday. Every proposal to divide the army and send the men away in small groups has met opposition.

Sacramento labor unions continued to supply the camp with food. A. conference of sheriffs from thirteen counties in northern California to devise means of getting the army of unemployed out of Yolo County and disperse them without force will be held in Sacramento tonight. Two ultimatums from the army of unemployed were delivered the Sacramento Citizens Committee. Both demanded food and the privilege of continuing their journey eastward, which the men agreed to do in units of fifty.

One of the ultimatums was from "General" Kelloy's main army; the other from the opposition or union faction. The latter was modest in its demands, ngreeing to travel to the Nevada State line on foot, if supplied with food. From the Kelley headquarters, however, came a sweeping demand for the release of the army's leadors, a special train to the Nevada lino and sufficient food for the journey. Portland, March 14-Although Chief of Police John Clark planned yesterday to close at once the Tabernacie where 1,500 Idle men have lodged during the winter, It was decided later at' a conference with Mayor H.
