Police Commissioner Arthur Woods made his annual report public today, in which he particularly urges the appointment of additional deputy police commissioners and the erection of nineteen new station houses, to cost approximately $2,150,000. Crime statistics are excluded from the report, because they are apt to be inaccurate and misleading. full complement of the force as shown December 31, 1914, was 10,858.

Of these, 10,707 are now actively engaged in police work in all ranks. The cost of running the Police Department during 1914 was $17,996,038.90, in addition to $39,801.60 paid for rentals, etc. This is an increase over 1913 of $660,000.

RABBI DENOUNCES ILLITERACY BILL Un-American and Serves Interests of Politicians, Declares the Rev.

Max Raisin. The Immigration restriction bill, which is shortly to come before the President for' his approval or veto, was denounced last night as unAmerican and as serving the Interests of certain political bodies, in Rabbi Max Raisin's sermon at the Putnam Avenue Temple. "Illiteracy," said Rabbi Raisin, "Is a misfortune, not a crime, the greatest foe of illiteracy being our adequate public school system." He said: "A law is enacted for the sole purpose of safeguarding the interests of a country and of protecting the people against certain disadvantages and evils. It is a measure aimed at the general good. This does not seem to be the case with the present bill.

We feel that the alleged motives for this billl are not the true motives. "Our Congressional representatives are not opposed to all illiteracy as such, but to all immigration as such. Their concern is not for more education, but for less immigration. They are actuated not by patriotic considerations, by a great and burning desire to serve the interests of the 1 majority, by the anxiety to lessen poverty and to check crime, but their concern is to please certain powerful political bodies, to whose interest it is to keep honest and industrious alien out of the land. "One need not speculate very much to find that the actual authors of this bill are the American Federation of Labor, the Junior Order of United American Mechanics and similar organizations.

The fact that our representatives in Congress who voted for the bill did not have the courage to frankly state their true motives and the real interests involved must injure their cause in the eyes of the American people to an extent which they little seem to realize." Rabbi Alexander Lyons, in his sermon last night at the Eighth Avenue Temple, paid tribute to the late Marshall P. Wilder, the humorist, and said that the thought and conviction of the presence of compensation in the world, parallelled with a persistent and courageous determination to seek and maintain that balance, was fundamental to Wilder's activities and achievements. would rather be a misshaped, hunchback humorist like Marshall P. Wilder," he said, "and have the path of my life beaming with sunshine and smiles, though I went down to an unnoted grave, then tread the blood-stained road of martial carnage that leads to a marble or metal statue."

Albany, January 16-A police committee of the National Guard Association reported to body in convention here today it was undecided that whether the State constabulary plan proposed by Governor Whitman was a good thing.

Fearn, New York, treasurer. TOO MANY VERDICTS ARE SET ASIDE-ROY County Judge Says Jurists Should Not Ignore Opinions of Juries. LOWE AWARD MUST STAND. Child Has Received Verdict of $500 for Being Struck by an Automobile. In refusing to set aside a Jury's verdict of $500 in favor of Helen Lowe, 9 years old, of 364 Hicks street.

as damages for injuries she received when she was struck by an auto owned and 1 operated by Paul R. Atkinson, treasurer of the Edison Electric I- luminating Company of Brooklyn, County Judge Robert H. Roy today declared that Judges too often set their own opinions and judgments above those of the juries as to questions of fact, thus practically refusing to people who come into court the right to a jury trial of their actions. The motion to 'set the verdict aside as against the evidence, contrary to law and as excessive, was made by Mr. Atkinson through his counsel, after the jury that tried the case gave a verdict against him.

The suit was brought by Mrs. Rosanna Lowe, the mother of the girl. On the evening of December 5, 1912, Atkinson, while driving his car along Hicks street, and when Pacific and Amity, struck the Lowe girl as she was crossing the street with a companion of her own age. After reviewing the facts brought out in the trial, Judge Roy, in denying the motion, says: "At the conclusion of the case I believed it was a proper case to submit to the jury, and a very careful examination of the minutes which have been furnished to me has not affected my judgment on that point. Defendant's counsel also urges that the verdict is excessive.

I am satisfied the jury gave the plaintiff all she was entitled to. Perhaps the court would have awarded judgment for a smaller sum if it had awarded judgment at all in the plaintiff's favor, but what the court would or would not have done is of little or no consequence. It was the function of the Jury to decide the facts in this case. It was for the jury to fix the amount of plaintiff's damage. It is rarely that the court is warranted disturbing the verdict of the Jury excepting for errors committed by the itself.

"I believe Judges have too frequently substituted their Judgment for the judgment of the Jury on questions of fact. Too many verdicts have been reduced, too many trials have been nullified by the action of courts in refusing to accept the judgment of a jury on questions of fact. Doubtless there have been and will be instances where it is manifest that a jury has been influenced by passion or prejudice in arriving at its verdict and has ignored the evidence in the case, and when such instances arise it is clearly the duty of the court to set the verdict aside, but courts should wait for such instances to arise. I do not think the present case would justify me in setting aside the verdict, or even in reducing the verdict. The motion is therefore denied." BROOKLYN COURTS COUNTY COURT, CRIMINAL CALENDAR.

Both men pleaded guilty to charges of cruelty based on the locking of chickens' wings. The charges were preferred by Officers John Evans and Edward Jeller of the S. P.

-C or MOOSEBELLOW; THEY'RE IGNORED Declare "Outsiders" Represented Them in State Chairman Conference. WANT VOICE IN SELECTION. Sentiment Leans Toward Frederick M. Davenport as Successor to T. D.

Robinson. Revolt against the present management of the Progressive State organization is threatened by the Kings County Bull Moose. The first muttering of trouble developed a secret meeting late yesterday afternoon at the office of Sigismund J. Trapani, leader of the Twenty-second Assembly District, when seven of the local State Committeemen gathered to talk, over the situation surrounding the seleciton of a new State Chairman to succeed Theodore Douglass Robinson. Considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed because National Committeeman George W.

Perkins and former State Chairman William H. Hotchkiss, in sending out invitations to the conference in York this matter last week, invited as the representatives from Kings County, Robert H. Elder, who, although County Chairman, is not a State Committeeman, and has no voice in that body, and Charles S. Aronstam, toward whom there is a ejalous feeling on the part fa large number of the local Moose. Many of the local men think only State Committeemen should have been invited to represent Kings, and that Aronstam was not a good representative because of the factional in certain quarters against him.

The New York coference, according to word the seven leaders had yesterday, did not result in an agreement to support anyone in particular for State Chairman, but did do a whole lot toward advertising the claims. of exAssemblyman Beveridge C. Dunlop of Rockland, and Walter A. Johnson, County Chairman of the Bronx. Neither of these men are known in Brooklyn.

In fact, it developed at yesterday's confab that nct a man present even knew their first names. The Kings County men took the ground that they should have more voice in the matter of selecting Robinson's successor and to bring this about they signed a call for a conference of all the Brooklyn State Committeemen for next Tuesday night at the Imperial. There, is is expected that the local men will decide to hold together and vote as a unit in the State Committee meeting the following day at 11 o'clock at State Headquarters in Manhattan, where a new State Chairman is to be chosen. While those at yesterday's meeting did not reach any agreement on the choice of the local organization, determining that this matter should be left entirely open for action at a full meeting, there was considerable talk favorable to Frederick M. Davendport of Oneida, Progressive candidate for Governor last fall.

Davenport's name was suggested by Westervelt Prentice, secretary to Park Commissioner Ingersoll, and leader of the Thirteenth Assembly District. Among the others who attended the confab were: Albert Tameling, leader of the Eighteenth; Abraham Noden of the Second, John F. Fogarty of the Third, Meyer of the Sixth, Andrew J. O'Neill of the Fourth and Trapani of the So far no local candidate for state chairmaiship has developed, and, if none appears next Tuesday night, it is expected the local men will simply unite in getting behind some man who is well known throughout the state. The local leaders claim that neither of the two men, whose candidacies were put out by the Perkins-Hotchkiss dinner party, are sufficiently well known to deserve attention, and this sis the basis for the contemplated rebellion if the outside leaders attempt to put either over Wednesday.

COMMITTEE MEETS MONDAY. Citizen Members Still Unnamedpect Rows Over "Uplift" Schemes. Work upon the revision of the City Charter, which has been at a complete standstill since the beginning of the Mitchel administration, is to be commenced on Monday, it was announced by Aldermanic President McAneny today, At that time the committee, which has not yet been completed, will be organized.

No definite action will be taken until the State Constitutional Convention goes into session in April, and in addition it has been determined by the that no attempt will be made to bring powers that be in the administration the proposed new charter before the present Legislature. Whether the political complexion of the present body has anything to do with this decision is not known, but at any rate action is to go over until 1916 unless something entirely unforeseen arises. That some big rows are in prospect for this committee was admitted today as word has gone out that any amount of "uplift" schemes for reorganizing various departments are being whipped into shape for submission. That strong objections will meet most of these very radical changes is well known. Although the officials on the committee who comprise besides Mr.

McAneny, the Mayor, Controller Prendergast, City Chamberlain Bruere and Aldermen Curran, Esterbrook and Dowling, were appointed a year ago, no meeting was ever held nor have the seven citizen members, provided for. been appointed. Last July, however, a secretary, Moses Altman, was appointed for the committee by the Board of Estimate, at a salary of $4,000 a year. It is expected that the personnel of the committee will be completed by Monday. In view of the fear that borough autonomy was threatened by the omission of the Borough Presidents from the committee, considerable interest is being shown in the naming of the seven citizens.

Pressure is being brought to bear to have Brooklyn and the other boroughs properly represented. FREE CIVIC LECTURES At the Parish House of the Church of Good Shepherd Monday Evenings.

This drama was written by Katrina Trask, and has been read in colleges all over the country and been produced in all the big cities. The hearty applause which attended the reading last night, besides being a sign of appreciation of the delivery of the work by Samuel McKrea Calvert, was a tribute to the sentiments in it.

The story is that of a young man, who enters the army when his country is going to war. He is greatly influenced in his action by a girl, with whom he is in love. He enlists as private, but performs such valorous deeds that he is promoted from one rank to another in rapid succession.

"INSURGENTS" ARE MEEK AS LAMBS Threatened Revolt Against Livingston in 22d A. D. Peters Out. COUNTY LEADER HOLDS REINS. Objections to I.

M. Lerner's ment as Deputy Attorney General Ends. The anticipated rebellion in the ranks of the Twenty-second Assembly District Republican Club, of which Executive Chairman Jacob A. Livingston is the leader, did not develop last night at the weekly meeting of the organization, held in the clubhouse, on Barbey street. The supposed "insurgents," who had been telling their friends for the past that they "would lift the roof the clubhouse" to show week, their resentment over the recent appointment of Israel M.

Lerner Deputy Attorney General, were as meek and 1 quiet as lambs. The men who raised the storm of protest last week against the Lerner appointment hastened to assure the county leader that the thought of instigating an internal rebellion in the district organization was an idea they had never dreamed of. As one of the county leader's friends expressed it, the insurgents last night "were quite willing to eat out of the palm of his hand." "The thing is settled, as far as I am concerned." declared David Price, one of the leaders of the "insurgent" movement that petered out. "It is true that I had something to say last week, but I took the attitude then that there were men In the district who were more deserving of the appointment than Mr. Lerner.

But since his appointment had been agreed upon and settled, I have no further objections to make." Other leaders of the incipient rebellion kept their lips sealed. Apparently they had been thoroughly chastened since last week. "All this talk that Lerner is a newcomer in the district is the rankest kind of nonsense," said Mr. Livingston, "He lived in the Arlington avenue section of East New York ten years ago." Deputy Attorney General Lerner himself was present, but had no comment to make. The principal business transacted was the passage of a resolution urging the city to select a new courthouse for the Tenth District City Magistrates Court.

This tribunal is now housed in a building on New Jersey avenue, the reputed owner of which is a brother of James P. Sinnott, the Democratic leader of the Twenty-second Assembly District. The building, it was asserted, is unsuited for courthouse purposes. BOY SCOUTS DRILL. Persons in the neighborhood of Cropand Bath avenues, from Bay Twenty Thursday to evening, Twenty agreeably streets, surprised to see the Boy Scouts of that section marching and drilling in the streets.

The boys are doing good work under the guidance of their young leader, Captain Wells. Old Glory Troop of Bath Beach, In charge of Captain Stanley Wells, was joined by the Fort Hamilton Troop, in charge of Private A. 0. Parsons of Fort Hamilton, headquarters of the former, Cropsey, avenue and Bay Twenty-second Shortly after 8 p.m. the boys left the hall and marched along Cropsey avenue as far as Bay Twenty-flfth street, and returned, passing through the side streets from Cropsey to Bath avenue and back again, stopping on each street to go through their different drills, then marching or running, according to the orders of their captains.

All along the line of march people stopped to watch, and others looked on from the windows of their homes, attracted by the sound of the bugles and drums. Captain Wells has proved himself an efficient leader, and he has every reason to be proud of his boys. Although the boys of the Fort Hamilton Troop are only beginning their winter work, they are gaining ground rapidly. THE REALTY MARKET. New Buildings.
