INCREASE IN YEARLY COST. President McAneny Says It Must Continue So Long as City Increases.

The Budget Exhibit of the City of New York was officially opened today at noon by George McAneny, President of the Borough of Manhattan. The object of the exhibition, according to Mr. McAneny, Is to show the citizens of the city Just what their money is being spent for. Every department In the city government will have an opportunity to show what It has received, both In money and In supplies. The requests of each department will here be displayed, together with what the city has done in the past.

"It Is necessary that city budget should show an increase," said Mr. Mc- Aueny, "on account of the constant growth. The Increase in the budget, however, will, we expect, be less than the Increase in the city property. The budget for this year will be about $174,000,000, while that for last year was about less than this amount. We expect that the budget next year will be greater than the one this year, and that each succeeding budget will be greater than the last one." The Becond speaker was Mayor Gaynor, who had declared the Budget Exhibition officially opened.

i "The original object of this exhibition," said the Mayor, "was to enlist th attention of every citizen In New York to the expenses necessary to the operation of the city government. It showi what city officials are doing with your money. The people furnish the funds for ths maintenance of tho government, and they are entitled to know what is being done with It. There has been a greai deal said of the rights of the taxpayers. I think that the rentpayers are as much entitled to know what the city is doing with its money as are the taxpayers.

If there were no rentpayers, there would -be no taxpayers, and, therefore, the rent-payers should receive as much attention as the taxpayers. 1 "Taxpayers associations have criticised the administration, and I have no fault, to find with that, so long as they first study their subject. However, this unchristian way of criticising everything that is being done by the administration Is not right. If you want to find fault you should first be certain that you know what you are talking about." The Mayor said that the best balaneo of the city government could only be obtained by constant observation by the governed. There are parts of the elty where the people do not seem to want good and honest government, according to the Mayor.

One of these places Is Queens County, where, said Mayor Gaynor, the administration had just passsd through a crisis. "It is necessary that all of the people help in the government," said Controller Prendergast, who followed the Mayor. "Only by this can any city be properly governed." He paid a tribute to the subcommittee which has charge of the exhibition. One of the features of the Con troller's speech was the statemeut mat thereafter the city should include in the budget the debts which have not been I collected, instead of Issuing corporate stock against these deDts. I The exhibit itself, while officially opened today, is not completed, and will probably not be for at least a week.

I Many of the departments have been tin-I able to get their exhibitions in place. On whole, however, the opening day waa jail that could have been expected. The exhibits that attracted most attention I were those of the Police, Fire and Water i Supply, Gas and Electricity. The exhibition will continue until October 28. It 'will be open Tuesday and Thursday even-lings until 10 o'clock and on Sunday noons from 2 until 6 o'clock.

On all other days it will be open from 11 a.m. until 1 o'clock p.m. ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAYS Forty-three Persons Killed in New York City Streets in September.

MORE FLATBUSH BURGLARIES Rushmore Home Is Ransacked and Stores at Avenue Are Robbed.

The residence of Remsen Rushmore, at 465 East Eighteenth street, Flatbush, was entered and ransacked yesterday evening, some time between 6:30 and 10 o'clock. Mr. Rushmore, who Is president ot the City Savings Bank, at Fourth street and Flatbush avenue, has been spending a vacation at Stamford, N. with his wife and niece. The house, during his absence, has been under the charge of a servant, Margaret Maroney, who was absont last night, with her sister, from 6:30 until shortly after 10.

When Bhe returned to the Rushmore residence, she found that the front library window had been forced open and that the house had been ransacked. She notified Mr. Rushmore of the burglary, but was unable to say how much the thieves had taken. Mr. Rushmore said today that he had placed al lof the family Jewelry in a safe deposit box before leaving the city.

Burglars have also been operating In the vicinity of the Avenue sta tion of the Brighton Bench line. Three attempts on retail stores In that neighborhood, It was learned today, have been made recently, two of them being successful. The unsuccessful attempt was made early this morning at the grocery store of Meyer Llndemeyer, 1510 Avenue J. which adjoins the station. The burglars were forcing an entrance through a rear window when a dog that is always kept in the store barked and they ran away.

Mr. Meyer, who lives above the store, went down and found the back window smashed. The tailor shop of Fireman Cooper- man at. 1503 Avenue J. was robbed early l'rlday morning, the thieves getting away with $160 worth of suits, coats and material.

The door at this place was evi dently opened with a passkey, as there were no marks of violence. The grocery store of Frederick Blies- man at Kast Fifteenth street and Avenue was robbed early Saturday morning, the thieves getting away with $11 in cash and stamps and the rest In cigars and cigarettes, taking only the best brands. Two Iron bars covering a window In the rear had been forced apart, and an entrance gained that way. Because of the narrowness of the entrance the police believe that It was either boys who burglarize the place or else that a boy or very small man wsb sent, in ahead to open the door. The police have no clew to any of these Jobs.

These three and the three reported recently from the Dltmas Park section are In the territory covered by the police of the Parkvine and Vanderveer Park precincts. REV. EDWARD NILES RESIGNS.

YOUNG MEN ENTHUSIASTIC. Delegates to Diocesan Union Flan Busy Season.

The delegates to the Diocesan Union of the Young Men's Catholic Societies, who met yesterday afternoon In the meeting rooms of St. Joseph's Union, Dean street and Vandcrbilt avenue, were very enthusiastic over the prospects of the union this year.

Comparisons Between the Two Acts That Are Intended to Provide for Direct Nominations. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, October 2 That some sort of a direct nominations bill will become a law before the end of this week, Is practically certain. The big vote In the Assembly, 111 to 19, by which the Blauvelt bill was passed on Sunday morning shows the temper of the legislators, just as plainly as the vote of 30 to 15 by which the Hinmen-Greene bill, with Ferris' name attached, went through the Senate on Saturday afternoon. The leaders of both Houses who are opposed to the passage of any direct primary legislation, realise that they are "up against It," end cannot prevent the will of the majority from becoming effective. The substitution of the Blauvelt bill for the measure which passed the Senate is regarded as a big feather In the cap of "Al" Smith, the Assembly leader, for now he has put the matter back on the shoulders of the Senators.

Smith gave the direct nominations advocates in th Assembly the assurance on Sunday morning that If the Senate rejected the Blauvelt bill, tho Assembly majority would peso the Hlnman-Greene bill. He declares that he has become an advocate of direct nominations at last. Little Difference in the Two Bills. There Is not much difference between the Blauvelt bill passed by the Assembly and tho Hlnman-Greene, or Ferris nlll, passed by the Senate. Leader Smith's chief objection to the act passed by the Senate was that it contained a provision fixing the number of signatures necessary to secure a nomination for office at a very small figure.

A nomination for Mayor on the primary ballots of the City of New York could be had by merely obtaining the Indorsement of 500 citizens. The Blauvelt bill fixes the number of signatures necessary on a percentage basis, per cent, of the enrolled voters being the minimum number required for a nomination. Both these measures are copied almost entirely from the Hlnman-Green bill of last year, the chief difference being that they retain the state convention, which was abolished by the Hlnman-Green bill, and do not provide for the direct nom? Inatlon of candidates to be voted for by all the people of the State, and that they substitute a ballot having separate columns for different sets of candidates for the Massachusetts form of ballot provided by the Hlnman-Green bill. The Blauvelt bill ballot Includes candid dates for delegates and party officers in the columns with the candidates for nomination to elective office, while the Ferris-Hinman bill grouped themt un the Massachusetts plan at the bottom of the ballot. The, i Blauvelt bill also allows funds to be used to pay the campaign expenses of the party committee candidates for nomination, while the Ferris-Hinman bill does not.

The measure provides for a State wide enrollment of party voters. In the rural districts, where no enrollment now exists, It Is to be made by the Inspectors of election, or the voters may enroll In person. Only enrolled voters may vote in the primary election. The State party committee is to consist of one member, elected directly by the party voters In each Assembly district, and each member shall have one vote and one additional vote in the committee for each 2,000 votes of his party, or major fraction thereof, cast for the party candidate for Governor. In counties with a population of the county committee shall consist of one member elected directly from each election district, and In other counties of one member from each election district, or from each ward and town, at the party rules may prescribe.

The executive committee In cities having population shall consist of one member from each Assembly district, with as many votes In the executive committee as the members of the county committee from hlB district are entitled to cast In the county committee. Provision Is made In the bill for Assembly district committees, city committees and Judicial committees. The members of all committees, if the bill becomes a law, will be elected next spring and will hold office utnil the fall primary of 1913. The committee provisions of the original Blauvelt bill are copied word by word from the Hlnman-Green bill. They provide for the election of all committeemen directly by the party voters and they regulate In detail the meets of the committees and the adoption of party rules.

All candidates for elective public office to whom the bill applies, excepting candidates running in the entire State, who are nominated by the State convention, must be chosen by direct vote of the party voters In their several districts. Delegates to the State conventions must be elected In the same manner. As in the Hlnman-Green bill, provision Is made by the Blauvelt bill for the designation of candidates for nomination by the party committees In each district and by petition. The Blauvelt bill, however, also provides that candidates for delegates to State conventions or for membership In the State and other party committees may also be designated by the committees. This tends to give the committees self-perpetuating power.

The Hlnman bill provides tha those candidates could bo designated by petition only. Upon the Blauvelt ballot, the first column is given to the committee candidate. An emblem Is to be placed over each column, but no party emhlem shall be liaeri in ntltlr. tlnVnt maw K. .1 vfc tun, ur ihwriiips a ci'iph inprn in tne cir- tir ini'iii lur 1 lie nailOt in general resembles the regular election day ballot, havine- a s'ub and a number.

LAND VALUES NOT ADVANCED, Protests May Be Filed Until November 16 Taxes Payable on May 1 and November 1 Next Tear. The tax books showing the assessed valuation of property in Brooklyn for 1912 were thrown open to the publlo today, at the Municipal Building. The figures show, as indicated in The Eagle Saturday, that the increase for 1912, as compared with the increase for 1911, is only about one-tenth as much. The increase for 1911, as originally announced, was about which was later reduced, following protest and revision, to about $270,000,000. The Increase for 1911, by the figures made publlo today, is $27,252,673.

There has been no appreciable increase on land values. The increase, for the most part, is due to the erection of new structures, already up or In process of building. The total assessed valuation of property in the borough today is $1,583,035,156. Tax Commissioner Wall Invites the In dividual taxpayers to come to the office and inspect the books, with a view to making protests if they believe that protests are warranted. All claims for overvaluation will be investigated by the dep uties, who have been making careful cal culation since July 1, and any mistakes found will be rectified.

All protests on land and building as sessments must be in by November 16. None will be considered after that date. Protests against assessment on bonds, mortgages, cash In banks outside of sav ings banks and other personal property will be received as late as November 30. The deposits In the new Postal Savings Bank will not be taxed. The taxes on the assessments announced today will be payable next year in two Injtalmenta, the first one from May 1 to May 31 and the second one from November 1 to Novem ber SO, 1912.

Of tho latter, Andrew Carnegie remains at the head of the list with an assessment of $5,000,000. Other large as sessments are practically unchanged. Hereafter tax books will be opened semi-annually to coincide with the semiannual collection of taxes and assessments under the new law.

Orout, was served on Saturday at his office, 111 Broadway, Manhattan, with a subpena requiring his 'appearance as a witness at tomorrow's Union Bank hearing. His testimony Is wanted In connection with the purchase of the People's Bank by the Union Bank.

The legal papers consummating this deal were drawn up in his office. Various witnesses have testified that Paul Orout took a prominent part in engineering the deal for the Union Bank. Attorney Cropsey is anxious to secure from Mr. Grout an explanation of the discrepancy between the papers on file with the Banking Department and those contained In the Union Bank records. The Banking Department files indicate that $370 Is the price per share which the stockholders of the Union Bank authorised the bank to pay for the People's Bank.

The books of the Union Bank show that $410 per share or more was actually paid. DIES NEAR CENTURY MARK Brooklyn Woman Had Laid Aside Money for Burial Sixty Years Ago.

Dr. John Henry Bell Gives Estimate of What He Should Be. This morning in the Fleet Street Church, before the Brooklyn and Long Island Methodist Preachers Association, of which the Rev.

Dr. W. A. Richard is president, and the Rev. Dr.

L. Davison secretary, the Rev. Dr. John Henry Boll, pastor the Sumner Avenue M. E.

Church, gave his estimate ot what a present day minister should be. in an address on "The Twentieth Century Minister." Dr. Bell emphasized the thoughts that a minister should, first of all. have individuality and should avoid the evil ot self-exaggeration. He should have sympathy and be true, above all things to the church which he Is appointed to serve.

He elso said: 'I confess to you that I find myself out of sympathy with that notion of personal evangelism which practically Identifies It with the cativaj- ser art, that we must make a dead set for every man, everywhere, everywhen: that we must develop this thing to the point of professional efficiency, In season and out of season. I do not believe a word ot It." BEFRIENDED A BOY; ROBBED.

before the national lcglsla-t before the Navy Department, before Voe President, before the people of every ate In the L'tiion. The Sampson-Schley became In the course of timo fct scandal detrimental to the navy so far 1 to extort from President Roosevelt an srder forbidding olueers to discuss It in fj' tblie. And the issue arose thus: and Schley had for weeks blockuded a madron of Spanish cruisers In the har-tir of Santiago. On Sunday, July 3. 1 StiS.

admiral Sampson left the blockading fleet his flagship, the New York, to pro-freed along the coast for a distance of fifty miles where he had a duty to perform in connection with officers conducting the campaign against the Spaniards i land. During his absence the Spanish tips made a sortie and strove to escape tp the coast. The American fleet, under the lead of the Brooklyn, was ordered by t-'ciYey, then in responsible command, to chase. But one signal materially affecting the strategy or tactics of the oc-lunion was flown from the Brooklyn "Go Imhore and engage the enemy." It was flght in which Individual commanders rxercised their intelligence to the best of Jheir Judgment. The result is history, file Spanish squadron was utterly de-It royed, largely through the excellont punnery of the Brooklyn, of the Oregon lind of the Texas, a seeond-class battleship which unexpectedly developed the Speed of a llrst -class cruiser, and the hitting powers of a first-class battleship.

Admiral Corvera, the Spanish commander, and such of his seamen as were not slain or drowned, were taken prisoners. All this occurred while Sampson and the New York were absent from the scene of ac-lon. f. The administration of President MeKin-Icy decided that the chief reward for the Victory belonged to Admiral Sampson, who had so ma tinged the blockade as to Insure the destruction of the- Spanish Squadron whenever It attempted to escape. Bitter Controversy Over the Battle.

All who read this can recall the titter-tiess that prevailed as the fight of the Bchley and Sampson adherents progressed. Much was made by the latter of Schley's failure to obey Sampson's orders In regard to the coaling of tho blockading squadron, a failure which, it was claimed, might easily have resulted In the escape of Cer-vera from Santiago to become a menace to commerce and a destroying force along the whole Atlantic coast line of the United Plates. Much more was mnde of a pecu-fliar evolution performed by the flagship Brooklyn which had the effect of retarding the Texas in her pursuit of the Spaniards, but which, ns explained by Schley and his friends, was devised to give an opportunity to the big cruiser to turn inshore ahead of her fleetest antagonist. The wrangle between the friends of the ad-Vnirals Anally went far that the convention of a court of ineulry to Investigate Schley's conduct during the whole period of his Cuban service was ordered nt Schley's own request by President Roosevelt. The court was composed of Admiral Dewey and Hear-Admirals Ben-ham and Ramsiv.

Its verdict as rendered In December, 1901, was unanimous: Findings of the Court of Inquiry. TO HOLD UP NASSAU BONDS. Taxpayers Begin Suit to Restrain Controller John Lyon. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola. L.

That during the Santiago flght he was courageous and solf-posFessed and encouraged his men without regard to his own personal safety. Dewey Gave Credit to Schley. Admiral Dewey submitted a minority opinion, in which, after differing from hi'? colleagues on some minor points, he held that the blockade off Santiago was effectively maintained, so far as Schley was concerned.

Admiral Dewey also attempted to settle the greit niiestion of credit for the July fight. "Commodorn Srhley." hi said, "was the sen'or officer of our squadron off Santiago when the Spairsh squadron attempted to escape on the morning of July 3. 1X98. He was in absolute command and is entitled to the credit due to such commanding officer for the glorious victory which resulted In the total destruction of the Spanish ships."

The court as a body recommended that the Santiago campaign be not further investigated.
