exerting every effort to make him the unanimous choice of the local organization, although some of the from whose districts prospecleaders, candidates have been suggested, are still holding off in favor of the "native sons." Executive Chairman Livingston was in Albany today, where he had gone to induce the Governor to affix his signature to the three Kings County "ripper" bills ousting Commissioner of Records O'Connor, Commissioner of Jurors Farrell and Public istrator Frank Kelly. Incidentally, he is expected to sound the Governor on the Supreme Court appointment. Livingston supporting Justice Callaghan. leaders who are behind the Twelfth District man are laying plans to get the ear of the Governor at the Unity Club banquet tonight, where the Chief Executive will be the guest of honor. According to one story told today, an attempt is being made to get District Attorney Cropsey to run again for his present office, under promise of a nomination for Supreme Court in 1917.

As the District Attorney is elected for a four-year term, presuming Mr. Cropsey were re-elected this year, this would leave him with an uncompleted term of two years, and give the Governor the power of appointing his successor. Whitman's term expires next year, but the Republicans are figuring on a G. O. P.

landslide in 1916, 80 they have no fears of their plans going "aglee," and a Democratio prosecutor being appointed. Pressure 1s also being brought to bear upon Cropsey from another angle, and that is that he should not abandon the importan Grout prosecution immediately after getting it under way. The people would not take kindly to such a step, the District Attorney has been told. Mr. Cropsey was still non-committal today on what his attitude would be in the event of the appointment being offered to him.

Supreme Court Justice Mills of Westchester County will in all likelihood be elevated to the Appellate Division by Governor Whitman to fill the vacancy there caused by Justice Burr's death, leaving the actual vacancy the Supreme Court bench proper. The Appellate Division in this department is composed of the Second and Ninth Judicial districts, and as there is now no representative from the Ninth District, Justice Mills will undoubtedly be chosen for the place. SUE VAUDEVILLE "TRUST" Two Agencies Ask $600,000 From United Booking Offices and Others. Charles F. Bornhaupt, who maintains theatrical agencies at 1493 Broadway, Manhattan, and in London and Brussels, and Clifford C.

Fischer, who has similar offices in London and Paris, have filed independent antitrust monopoly suits for $600,000 in the Federal District Court, Manhattan, against the United Booking Offices of America, the Central Vaudeville Promotion Company, H. B. Marinelli, Limited; A. Paul Keith, Frederick F. Proctor, Edward Albee, John J.

Murdock, Morris Meyerfeld and Martin Beck. The plaintiffs allege damages of $100,000 each. Under the provisions of the Sherman law, they ask for treble damages of $300,000 each. The complaints state that some time ago H. B.

Marinelli, Limited, instituted a Sherman law suit for treble damages, totaling $3,000,000, against the United Booking Offices of America and others, and since the dropping of that proceeding, the defendants nts. have granted to H. B. Marinelli, Limited, the exclusive right to book all foreign acts in any theater of the Keith or Orpheum circuits. HAVE A CLAM FEST.

Belle Harbor Yacht Club's Affair Is Very Successful. More than 200. persons enjoyed the hospitality of the Belle Harbor Yacht Club at the organization's club house last Saturday. It was the first clam fest for the current spring season. Popular songs, instrumental music, amusing readings and appropriate speeches featured the entertainment.

The recent death of his mother prevented Commodore William J. Sullivan from attending. Henry C. Johne, president of the Book Writers Club of Brooklyn, was the guest of honor. He delivered an eloquent address on "Optimism." Miss Helen Fletcher and Miss Florence Redfield added to the mirth of the occasion, the former with song and the latter with a comic reading.

April 27-William E. Fellendorf, George T. Balz and L. A. Reeve, the Village Board of Assessors, have completed the tax assessment roll for 1915.

The assessment roll will be open for inspection until May 4, when the board will hear any complaints which may be made in reference to it. The total assessed valuation of the village is $1,807,950. This amount includes an assessed valuation of 81,721.250 for the real property of the village, the special franchises and personal property. The total assessed valuation of the special franchise is $49,300 and that of personal property, represented by corportions having Sea Cliff as their home office, $37,250. The total assessment is considerably lower than last year, owing to the withdrawal of several of the corporations from listing in Sea Cliff.

This will mean that the tax rate will be somewhat higher than last year. ADJOURNS CROSSING HEARING. P. S. C.

Awaits Action on Rockaway City Bill. Owing to the passage by the Legislature of the bill separating Rockaway from the City of New York, which is awaiting the action of Mayor Mitchel and Governor Whitman, the Public Service Commission today (Tuesday) adjourned for two weeks without action a hearing on the eliminating of certain grade crossings of the Far Rockaway branch of the Long Island Railroad. It is estimated that elimination of the grades will cost about $1,000,000. Under the railroad law, one-half of the expense is borne by the railroad company, one-quarter by the State and one-quarter by the city. Should the Rockaway bill be approved the one-quarter cost would be borne by the new city.

HAWKINS-In sad and loving memory of ZOPHER L. HAWKINS, who passed away April 27, 1914. MARGIE and DONALD. TRACE MURDERER TO PHILADELPHIA Report That Mrs. Heilner's rings Have Been Located in Pawn Shop.

MISS BUCK IS ON WAY THERE. Hanel Known to Have Friends in Quaker Olty-New Clue Encourages Police. Part of the jewelry taken from the murdered Mrs. Julia Heilner of 217 Albemarle Road, the police have reason to believe, was pawned in Philadelphia. Information.

was received this morning from the police in that city that a pair of earrings which answered the description of those taken from Mrs. Heilner had been pawned there by a man answering the description of Joseph Hanel, the man suspected of the murder. Detective William Roddy of the Poplar street force started at 12:80 o'clock today for Philadelphia with Miss Helen Buck, Mrs. Heilner's friend and companion, who will look over the jewelry and make the identification positive, it is believed. In the meanwhile the police have stronger hope of capturing fugitive, Hanel.

There was a bellef that he had not been able to get out of the city, but the discovery of A part of the jewelry in the Philadelphia pawnshop, if it really proves to be Mrs. Heilner's, would seem to show that the elaborate police preparations to prevent him from leaving the city were fruitless. Hanel is well known in Philadelphia, and if 1 he is secreted there the police hope he will soon be found. It was from Philadelphia that the local authorities received the only photograph they have of the suspected murderer, and it is known that he had many friends in that place. The fact that he is known to the police there might have prevented some men to seek such a refuge, but Hanel might have expected assistance from some of his friends, and possibly used the money he realized by pledging the earrings to get out of town -further away, if possible, from the scene of the murder.

As soon as word received from Philadelphia Reddy was hurried out to Flatbush with instructions to get Miss Buck and take her without delay to Philadelphia. Of course the identification of the earrings will not be positive until Miss Buck sees them, but the description of them from the Philadelphia police fits that in the published list of the jewels taken from the house on Albemarle road after the murder. The earrings, according to the police circular, have two pearls about the size of a pea, each surrounded by chip diamonds. JUDGES AT WORK ON 2,250 PHOTOS Huge Task to Select Winners in Eagle Child Photograph Contest. The Judges of The Eagle Child Photograph Contest spent an hour today looking over the wonderful collection of pictures and trying to decide which of the beautiful, sturdy, intelligent children should receive the medals.

These are to be equally distributed among the four classes into which the photographs have been divided. No definite decision has yet been made, and the committee or awards--Dr. Le Grand Kerr, Leon Dabo, W. H.

Goodyear, Mrs. Don C. Seitz and Mrs. J. Elliott Langstaff-will meet again later in the week for the final ment.

Two years ago so much waste and rubbish were piled up on the curbs that the Department's equipment was overtaxed. Last year's 'clean-up week' produced a comparatively small amount of rubbish over the ordinary daily collections made by the department.

"The explanation is that two years ago, as a result of a long and active campaign, the accumulations of many years were dragged out from cellars, attics and closets and placed upon the curbs during 'clean-up while last year the accumulations of one year only had to be cared for. "In co-operation with the Department of Health and other City departments, a schedule, apportioning certain territory for special attention next week, has been arranged, and householders are requested to take note of the day set aside for their respective districts. "It must be understood that trade wastes are not included in the cleaning-up programme.

The first straw hat of the season was seen at the County Courthouse today and crowned the head of Emanuel Frank, one of the bright young on Lawyer Robert H. Elder's staff. With the straw hat came a suggestion by "Manny" that instead of trying to hold court In the hot and stuffy clerk's office, County Judge Lewis ought to have a tent built in the courthouse yard.

"There is more than enough room in the yard and it would be much more comfortable for Having relieved himself of this trite suggestion, "Manny" wiped some perspiration from his brow and took his new straw out for a walk. ICELAND COMMERCE COMING TO NEW YORK Steamship Service Begun to Handle Trade Formerly Given to Europe. Geir Thorsteinsson, of Reykjavik, Iceland, a passenger aboard the steamer Bergensfjord, from Scandinavian ports, upon his arrival at the Brooklyn docks today, asserted that a new steamship line had been established between Iceland and New York, under the Norwegian flag, to divert to America the trade of the island that has been Europe's ever since Iceland was settled. The first ship of the new line to sail, Mr. Thorsteinsson said, probably had departed already from Reykjavik with a cargo of dried herring, wool and mutton, and will take back to Iceland a cargo of wheat and meal.

The fish had been sold here already, he said, and the return cargo arranged for. This ship, the Gullfass, was bringing as passengers to New York, he said, some of the leading merchants and bankers of Iceland, who are seeking to establish mercantile and banking connections in America. The European War and the closing of the North Sea had made so uncertain the trade relations between Iceland and Europe, he said, that Iceland had decided to transfer its entire foreign commercial relations to the United States, make New York its foreign financial clearing house, establish its credits here and buy its big nual bill of manufactured supplies from American factories.
