Pacumonia, After Pleurisy Attack, Ended Fatally. Former Alderman James Dunne, a pillar of strength in the old Brooklyn Democracy and one of the most picturesque figures of a political world that has gone, died last evening, his home, 317 Clinton street, at the age of 72 years. in his death there passed one of the last of the men who loomed big as leaders when "Boss" MeLaughlin held sway in Brooklyn. Dunne was essentially a man of the old school-a man personally aggressive, never afraid of a quarrel, and one who could handle himself in any situation. Mr.

Dunne died peacefully at 6 o'clock last evening. He was conscious and recognized his children who were grouped about his bedside. He left six children and fourteen grandchildren. The children are James Dunne, Thomas J. Dunne, Mrs.

J. McGarry, Mrs. J. H. Dowd, Mrs.

Charles A. Gordon and Mrs. Joseph Reiher. A mass for the repose of the soul of the dead will be said in St. Peter's Church, Hicks and Warren streets, on Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

Interment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery. For EL week Mr. Dunne had been seriously ill. He was taken first with an attack in of pleurisy and then pneumonia set in. Eight years ago he suffered an attack of Bright's disease, but by careful dieting he regained much of his former strength and to all recovered.

Lately he had appearances not been feeling well and complained of his heart. Practically All of His Life Spent in Sixth Ward. James Dunne came here with his parents when he was a very small child and practically his entire life was spent in the Sixth Ward. In his youth and even in his mature years he was a famous athlete. His physical development was extraordinary.

He took up boxing and became an adept at it, meeting and defeating a number of men who were a for their proficiency in "Cashel Byron's profession." Among his achievements were the defeat of Johnny Elliott. then champion of the United States, and his defeat of Bill Davis in forty -three rounds. Later Mr. Dunne abandoned boxing and never liked to refer to those days of his youth in which he took and interest in the art. The later years of his Ife were quietly spent.

Of his skill as a handball player he was justly proud. Dunne was the father of handball in this country and for many years president of the Brooklyn Handball Club. Everybody who knows handball remembers Casey. who was world's champion. Casey and Dunne played together in the doubles for years and were never defeated.

As handball player he made many trips abroad and his keen interest in the game continued until the last. did not take long after Dunne entered the political field for him to himself felt as a force among a group of strong leaders. He admired the methods ant qualities of leanership of Hugh McLaughlin and became his devoted follower and lieutenant. His close friendship with the DEATHS. -On April 4, 1915, ELIZABETH MILLER MOORE, widow of James Kelton Moore, in her 61st year.

May his soul rest in peace. old boss lasted until the two men tell out over the nomination of a justice for the Supreme Court. MeLaughlin did not see his way clear to the nomination of Dunne's candidate and Dunne, a prood man. broke with the boss. Por a long time they did not talk, but in all that period Dunne's admiration for MeLaughlin never flagged.

For many years Dunne was Democratic leader of the old Sixth Ward and was in the thick of some of the tights whirh form the most interesting chapters of the past political history of Brooklyn. He was Alderman for several terms and keeper of the old City Hall when the McLaughlin influence was at its height. He made it a place of power. the Borough more recent PresidentColer, administraDunne was superintendent of sewers. That was the last public position he held.

After that he retired to private life, but whether in public office or out of it, he possessed the faculty of attracting to him a great number of friends. They stuck to him through fair weather and foul, and it was said that Dunne, without place, patronage or influence, could still wield such power that he could swing 1.000 votes in the Sixth Ward in any election. He was a man who was strong in his likes and dislikes. As a politician he was wary and far -seeing. In his home life he was ideal and his children and grandchildren clung to him closely.

He was a man of the old school, with its virtues and also its failings. Only a few days ago before the fatal attack which carried him off 60 quickly, Dunne was seen on Court street with one of his little friends, but there was nothing in his carriage to suggest the man over three score and ten. "Getting old," he admitted when a friend commented on his still young "but I guess I'll be able appearance, to stick it out a long time yet." He was very fond of children at all times, and the little folk in the neighborhood of his home will miss him very much, particularly one little fellow who was wont to call at his home for him in the morning, for a walk. and "to see the stores" as the child put It. It was with this tiny companion that Mr.

Dunne was taking his airing on Court street only the other day. The old politician had the little fellow by the hand and the giant and the Lilliputian were strolling along like the best of chums. "DEMOCRATS SHOULD UNITE," SAYS WARD Leader of Sixteenth A. D. Makes Strong Plea for.

Harmony in Party. A strong plea for Democratic harmony in the coming campaign was made by Charles R. Ward, leader of the Sixteenth Assembly District, in an address before members of the White House Democratic Club, his own organization, last night. Every day the present Republican Legislature sits at Aibany, he declared, means added campaign material for the Democrats, and if the latter show a united front, ing can prevent them from sweeping the field in the county election. Ward attacked the openly political purpose of the Republican "gerrymander" of Aldermanio districts, referring to the fact that his own district, with the largest Democratic enrollment of any in county, has been left undivided by the Republicans, because they fear the election of two Democratic men, while smaller Republican strongholds have divided for the purpose of adding an extra Republican Alderman.

Besides Mr. Ward, Magistrate Alexander H. Geismar also spoke on the subject of party harmony. "The prospects of Democratic success in the coming county election bright," said Mr. Ward.

"We are very never aproached a campaign before where party harmony and a desire for a union of all the Democratic forces was so strong. Every day the Legislature remains in session additional campaign material is furnished our party. What a contrast the present legislative session presents when you compare it with the last session. What has the Republican Legislature accomplished outside of the many Ripper bills? "Not one constructive piece of legislation has passed the Assembly. The programme has been one of destruction.

The many reforms which have taken years secure such as the Workmen's Compensation Cimmission and the Labor Bureau are to be made the playthings of Republican poloticians. In their anxiety for jobs the Republican party has thrown away descretion, and where the law or the Civil Service Commission stood in the way they have abolished the department or changed the names of bureaus in order to supplant Democrats with Republican office holders. "Although the public cares very little whether Democrats are ousted to make room for Republicans still when the Governor of this Empire State makes 'a football of the finances of New York State, he has gone one step too far in party politics and the public will rightly demand a change. Our Governor again demonstrates the necessity of electing to office men trained in public life. example of Republican confor public opinion of fairness temple residents of Kings County is demonstrated in a bill now pending in the Assembly to change the Aldermanic Districts.

In creating the new Aldermanic Districts it is their intention to combine several Democratic Districts into one district thereby doing away with Democratic Aldermen, and also to divide the large Republican Districts into two Aldermanic Districts thereby increasing the number of Republican Aldermen. If this is not thes ole object of this bill, how can they explain the fact that they do not intend to subdivide the Sixteenth Assembly District with a registration of 10.930 Democrats, against 6,515 Republicans, while they are dividing the Eighteenth Assembly District with a registration of 8,566 Democrats, against 8,856 Republicans. "We have all heard of the plans now under way for party harmony. The Democratic party, as represented by the leaders, is, I feel sure, willing to listen to suggestions from all Democrats having the party interest at heart, and I feel confident that great good to the party will come out of the proposal to appoint a harmony committee." FRACTURES SKULL IN FIT. Rockaway Beach, L.

April 7-As el result of a fractured skull, sustained in a fall when he was attacked by an epileptic fit, Ernest Oakley, 38 years old, single, an electrician of Cedarhurst, was removed to the Rockaway Beach Hospital yesterday. Oakley was walking along North Fifth avenue at time he felt the attack coming on. He stepped into the office of Cooper Brothers, builders, at 29, where he fell to the floor, striking his head against a chair. LONDON IN WAR TIMES. In response to many requests, the Rev.

Passenger Quells Youth and Takes Him to Lockup--Denies Assault Charge. Although held under $2.500 bail on a charge of felonious assault and accused of having caused a near-panic last night on a Lexington avenue elevated train, that only narrowly avoided serious results, Walter F. Berger, 31 years of of 275 Cleveland street. treated it all as a joke today, when John J.

Rogers, a brush manufacturer of 845 Bedford avenue, told how he had felt the muzzle of Berger's revolver against his stomach and how Berger had terrorized the whole tra'nload of passengers by flourishing the gun. Berger still seemed to regard It as a joke when his was called on to produce a bondsman, but his face changed when Magistrate Dodd, after hearing the case, turned to his stenographer in the Gates avenue police court with this instruction: "Notify Sheriff Swasey how his badge is being used and write to Magistrate George H. Folwell, who issued the permit to carry gun, calling his attention to this case." It was the combination of a special deputy sheriff's badge, the revolver permit and the age of 21 that resulted in Berger's arraignment. Berger had all these things together last night on the last car of a Lexington avenue elevated train that was bound toward Park Row. On the same car were Rogers and two friends, John G.

and James H. Boyne, of 174 Sands street. Almost without any warning, according to Rogers, Berger flashed his cial deputy sheriff's badge and flourished his revolver. "I'm going to kill you," Rogers asserted Berger said at same time. The car was well filled and, in a second, nearly every one of its occupants was either on his feet trying to get out of the way or burrowing down in back of seats and in back of each other.

Detectives Ullrich and Cody of Inspector Farrell's staff, chanced to be in the adjoining car and they rushed back at the first wild shout. They were in time, they told Magistrate Dodd today, to see Berger thrusting a revolver back into his pocket. Before they reached their man, however, Rogers had coolly announced to Berger that he was under arrest. The two detectives went to his assistance, but it was Rogers himself who led Berger off the train and marched him to the Ralph avenue police station, flanked by the two officers and his two friends. On the way to the station, Rogers told the court, Berger tried to break away, and also sought to throw his revolver away.

He was unable to do so and his revolver was taken from him when he reached the station house, where he spent the night in a cell. Berger entered a complete denial before Magistrate Dodd to the charge that he had drawn his revolver and asserted that Rogers and his two friends had been acting in a disorderly manner. One of the trio, he said, was playing a flute and the trouble had been caused when he remonstrated. CELEBRATE "HOMECOMING." Masons of First District Honor District Deputy Linkletter. Great Neck, L.

SEE The Sunday Eagle APRIL 11 FEARS RIPPER BILLS FOR MAGISTRATES Dooley Prefaces Second District Annual Report With Protests.

PUTS HOPE IN CONVENTION. Expects Constitutional Change Will Protect Office from "PoHitical Footballing." The annual report of. the Board of City Magistrates for Second a District, which comprises the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, is now in the hands of the printers, and there is a long foreword in it from Erward J. Dooley, the acting chief magistrate. In his preface, Mr.

Dooley pays a long tribute to the late chief magistrate, Otto Kempner, in office October 8. He says Kempner was, as a judge, kindly, clear-sighted and firm, and that if he erred at all it was on the side of mercy. There is a suggestion in the preface concerning the danger of the magistrates losing their jobs by "ripper" bills. Quoting from the recently issued the Committee on Criminal Courts of the Charity Organization Society, concerning the city magistrates and their work, Mr. Dooley extracts this paragraph: "They see him exert an influence upon the morality.

of the community, upon the peace and quiet and conception of the justice of the masses, which 110 other court can wield. It would seem to have been demonstrated that the public interests are safe in the magistrates' hands, and that their powers, with entire safety, can be broadened materially." "Yet a magistrate," continues the acting chief magistrate, "of which the foregoing can be truthfully said, can be, and has been, made the football of politics." He argues that there should be a firmer hold on the office granted to the men who are occupying the places, and adds: Looks to Convention for Remedy. "Let us hope the coming Constitutional Convention will remedy this glaring defect in respect to the minor judiciary of our State, so that when once appointed, our magistrates' term of office will be constitutionally protected, thus enabling them to give the best that is in them to the performance of their official duties, without having the nightmare of abolishment of their office constantly dangling before their eyes." Magistrate Dooley speaks enthusiastically of the finger print system; devotes a paragraph to the question new court buildings; indicates that there will be a night court established his in the Borough of Brooklyn for the purpose of admitting prisoners to bail; praises the chief probation officer and his work; tells of the mass of business transacted in the Domestic Relations Court, where he sits, and where 386,249.47 has been collected since its organization, in 1910, and has this to say about the growing evil from the use of narcotic drugs: "The alarming extent tea which the use of drugs has increased is shown by comparison of the arrests of those having narcotics in their possession. In 1914, arrests therefor in the Second Magisterial Division, Boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, numbered 181, and in 1913, arrests in the same division for the same cause numbered 72, an increase of more than 150 per cent. Urges Full Penalty for Venders.

"When we contemplate what the use of these narcotics will cause one to do in the way of crime and debasement, we cannot but urge upon our police authorities and magistrates the utmost vigilance in the due execution of the law in respect to the sellers of these drugs." The largest number of offenders was between the ages of 20 and 30, according to the records. The total arraignments in the magistrates courts for the year were 64,137, increase of 6,083 compared with the an former year. The percentage of those convicted was 76.22, a slight decrease from that of 1913. From the circumstance that there were more arrests last year for crimes against property than against persons. Magistrate Dooley aruges that the scarcity of labor and the increase of poverty leads to the former grade of crimes.

There were 1,118 burglary charges made in 1914, as against 745 in 1913. The increase in the crimes against property is more than 22 per cent. against an increase of only 2 per cent. in crimes against persons. NINE OVERCOME IN TRENCH.

Subway Workmen Restored by Pulmotor. Nine men were overcome late yesterday afternoon in the Thirty -eighth street subway cut, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, where they were all employed, from the fumes from the stack of a locomotive used in hauling earth from the cut. A call for help was at once sent to the Norwegian Hospital and two ambulances and four pulmotors arrived from that institution in charge of Dr. O'Mara. The men were all restored to consciousness after diligent use of the pulmotors, and all were able to go home.

All the men were laborers employed by Jacob Davies, the contractors for this portion of the subway. They were Dominick Hackett, 62 years of age, of Eighth avenue and Fortieth street; Edward Molland, 40, of 570 Fifty-second street; George O'Connor, 23, of 155 Fifty-seventh street; Dominick Dalen, 36, of 1248 Fifty-ninth street; Marcus Feist, 31. of 646 Fiftyfirst street; Sigmund Johnson, 28, of 467 Forty-second street; William Bickwell, 47, of 434 Fifty-third street; "Olaf Sandberg, 21, of 565 Fiftieth street, and John Meiber, 27, of 12 Hillside avenue, Corona, L.

Aldermen Ridicule and Defeat "Municipal Examiner" Project. After unmercifully lampooning the resolution promoted by the Bureau of Standards of the Board of Estimate for a "municipal examiner" at a salary of $2,100 a year and charcaterizing it as a measure for household prying rfow hich there was no excuse, the Board of Aldermen yesterday defeated the resolution by a vote of 58 to 2. Aldermen Dowling, Kochendorfer, Curran and others all had a fling at it. A circular was sent out recently asking sweepers in the Street Cleaning Department to tell how much they pay for their wearing apparel and that of their wives and children. Alderman Dowling spoke about "Peeping Toms" and "long-haired efficiency experts." Amid much laughter Alderman Dowling started to read therest, of questions asked by the such as how much a wife pays for her corsets, hairpins, nightgowns, but several members objected.

CHURCH MORTGAGE TO BE CUT IN HALF Good News for Borough Park Congregationalists--Griffin on Preparedness. The Borough Park Congregational Church held its annual banquet last night in the Sunday School room of the church, at Forty-ninth street and Fort Hamilton avenue.

More than one hundred members and friends attended, including a delegation from the Lewis avenue church. The room was tastefully decorated, and the dinmermen folk of entirely the church. prepared by the The Rev. Lewis T. Reed, pastor of the Flatbush Congregational Church, spoke on "Church Debt," and in the course of his address announced that he was authorized to say that the holder of the $2,500 mortgage covering the church property would cancel half of the indebtedness if the remaining half could be raised by the bers.

The announcement was received by the diners with applause, seine and it is likely that the requisite will be raised in the near future. Congressman Daniel J. Griffin spoke and praised the work of the administration at Washington, and particularly that of President Wilson. He said in part: of the big issues in the Sixty- fourth Congress will be fought out by the ultra pacificists and those patriotic statesmen who believe that this country should have an increased mobile regular army and anadequate and efficient navy. "The people of this country are commencing to realize that the United States is now a world power and that the army and navy have not kept pace with the growth of the nation.

"When the Panama Canal strip, Hawaii and the Philippines are properly garrisoned our mobile army within the United States will be less than 25,000 men, which will be only a little more than twice the size of the New York City police force. "When one contemplates the unpreparedness of our coast defenses he shudders at the possibilities of trouble with foreign nations. "I do not wish to be classed as an alarmist," he said, "but my service on the Military Affairs Committee has disclosed the fact that the people must be aroused to a grim reality of present conditions in this country affecting our army and navy. I believe with Washington that 'in time of peace we should prepare for "And if I must be lulled to sleep by the dulcet notes of the dove of peace I wish to awake prepared to destroy the vulture of war."

on Thursday evening, April 8, at 8 o'clock. Interment Friday, 10 a.m. Holzmeister Kills Himself on the Anniversary of His Wife's Death. SONS HEAR NEWS AT SCHOOL Young Wife Takes Bichloride of Mercury-Policeman's Prompt Action May Save Her Life. A friend called this morning at the apartment of John Holzmeister, 49 year old, who lived alone on the third floor of the house at 18 Irving avenue, found the door locked and received 110 response to his knocks.

Subsequently it was discovered that Holzmeister had committed suicide by inhaling gas, evidently several days ago. Last Sunday, Holzmeister and his lifelong friend, George Krebs, of 280 Troutman street, had a long talk in the Irving avenue apartment, and according to Krebs, his friend seemed to be somewhat cast down. Both men were mechanics out of work, and his inability to find employment, as well as the fact that his wife, Mary, had died on Easter Sunday two years ago, weighed heavily upon Holzmeister's spirits. Krebs, however, had cheered his friend with the news that he believed that both could get work this morning, and made an appointment to Holzmeister at his home early today. When no one answered his repeated knocks upon the locned door of Holzmeister's apartment, he called Patrolman Englert, who decided to break into the apartment.

In an armchair in the middle of the room under an open gas jet sat Holzmeister dead, while every chink and crack in doors and windows had been tightly packed with rags. Dr. Pfeifer of the German Hospital, who responded, announced that the man had been dead several days. Holzmeister has two sons, Joseph and Joan, both of whom are students at the Nazareth Trade School at Farmingdale, L. I.

Among the mail which he had never read were several souvenir post cards from the boys, in which they wished him a joyful Easter and told him that they hoped soon to return to the city. The sons were notified of father's act and the body was taken care of by the police. In a fit of despondecy, Mrs Elsie Schiller, the 26-year-old wife of George Schiller of 221 Bleeker street, last night arose from her bed and took several bichloride of mercury tablets. Then, without awakening her husband, she dressed for the street, and went to the North American Brewing Company, Hamburg and Greene avenues, where her father, George Seltzrauer of 290 Menahan street, is employed, and told him what she had done. The old man hurried his daughter into a sitting room in the Palm Garden.

Patrolman eidler of the Hamburg avenue station gave the woman the whites several eggs in milk, to counteract the poison, and then summoned Ambulance Surgeon Sample from the German Hospital, who removed thew oman in a serious condition. This morning it was stated that she has improved somewhat, but one of the physicians remarked that whatever chance for, life she now has is due entirely the prompt and effectlive first aid administered by Patrolman eidler.
