James Sherlock Davis, presidcutof the Chamber, and Edwin Delafleld-, as a committee of two, will present the plan to the Capital Issues Commit tee at a hearing Monday afternoon.

That the committee will approve the plan is assumed, its function being only to prevent the uses of large fWV sums of capital in prospects not es sential to the conduct of the war. The fact that the factory housing plan already has the approval of the War hi-in rrT'i-nr industrial Board In Washington practically predetermines the decision of the Federal Reserve Bank commit 7 tee.

Pratt residence at 245 Clinton avenue, and would convert it into a convent homo. The fact of the sale was verified this afternoon both at St Angela's Hall and at the headquarters of the order, but no details were forthcoming.

According to information that has reached The Eagle the Pratt home, which Is directly in the rear of St. Angela's Hall at 292 Washington avenue, will be used to house the Sisters who teach In the Hall and who now find accommodations In a residence contiguous to the Hall.

Wll- In order to meet this exigency the special committee, headed by Edwin Much misunderstanding has arisen through the lack of discrimination on the part of the women between "The Organization" and the Assembly District political clubs. Democratic Leader John H. McCooey made It clear as to the attitude of the Democratic party on this matter.

"There are a few older men," said Mr. McCooey. "steeped in the traditions of centuries, who do not take kindly to the new order of things. But the franchise for women is in the Constitution of the State of New York to stay. The Democratic party has established the principle of dividing everything with the women on a fifty-fifty basis.

The Assembly District clubs are political and social organizations and are purely local in their regulations. The individual attitude of any club has nothing to do with the big principle of absolute political equality." Women to be members of "The Organization" must be duly elected members of the county committee. Membership In the district clubs is by invitation and election Just as In any social organization. The Woman's Auxiliary of the Fourteenth Assembly District Regular Democratic Organization last night had an. other patriotic euchre and dance in the clubhouse, at 267 Bedford avenue.

Part of the proceeds are devoted for the benefit of the "boys over there," and from last night's receipts the soldiers are likely to benefit more than they did before because of the large attendance. There were fifty tables and some beautiful prizes. It was after o'clock when the card playing started and late when the last hand was dealt and the prizes distributed. The reception lasted until after midnight. Mrs.

Daniel J. Carroll, wife1 of the State Senator, was at the head of 'the committee which bad the affair in band. Thlrty-flve Republican women cast their ballots for delegates In the Twenty-first Assembly District last evening. A ballot box mora, than 100 years old was used, one of the historic treasures of the Flatbush organization. Mrs.

Maude Canilold has been elected a member of the Eleventh Assembly District Republican Club. Her name olso appears upon the petition of Charles F. Murphy for Senator as one of the committee to fill vacancies. Miss Martha Oarside of the Suffrage headquarters has another case ready for the overseas hospital. Burgles I dressings and hospital garments are Included.

Mrs. Alice H. Nelson has been elected second vice president of the Eighteenth Assembly District Republican Club. SAYS BRENNER WITHDREW IN FAVOR OF WOMAN Mrs. Jessie McGahlo, president of the Women's Republican Organlza-tlon tn the Eighth Assembly District, made a statement today giving what she said was the true reason for Jacob Brenner taking the position, of alternate instead of delegate for the Saratoga convention.

Her statement follows: "As the representative of the Women's Republican Organization of the Eighth Assembly District, I wish to correct the impression given by the press of the so called defeat of Mr. Brenner as delegate for the Saratoga convention. Many of the men In the district were opposed to sending wo-ment delegates to the convention and would not consider more than one at the most. Mr. Brenner has been a friend to the women and helped them in every way possible to start their organization.

If his name had stood as a delegate a woman delegate would have been defeated. To save the womei. Mr. Brenner withdrew as a candidate and was elected as an alternate for myself. Mr.

Brandels followed his example, withdrawing as delegate and entering as an alternate for Mrs. Heustis, the other woman delegate. I feel this statement Is only fair to Mr. Brenner and Mr. Brandels, who have been treating us so fairly." ARSrV TRUCK INJURES GIBX.

The police are seeking today the driver of the United States Quartermaster Corps truck who sped on after running down Gertrude Ayers, 20 years old, of 118 West Thirteenth street, Manhattan, last evening at Fourth avenue and Fifty-ninth street.

WOMAN KIDNAPPER HELD BASTILE DAY PAGEANT FOR CITY TOMORROW CITY'S OLD BUILDING READY TO TUMBLE Husband Pleads for Her, but Bail Is Not Furnished.

Mrs. Rose Splrq, 24 years old, of 288 Front street, Manhattan, was arraigned before Magistrate Reynolds, (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, July 13 The Court of Appeals has handed down a decision upholding the award of $184,492, made on January II. 1917. by a condemnation commission to the Pierrepont estate for upland and lapd under water taken by the city for the Montague street-Whitehall street subway, and rejecting the claim of the New York Dock Company that It had an easement in the property and was also entitled to damages. The dock company had appealed from the findings of the commissioners, lost out in the Appellate Division, and now loses.

in the court of last resort It is indicated in the decision, however, that if the city should close off navigation at the foot of Montague street between Piers 14 and 16, then the New York Dock Company might have a claim for compensation. The Court of Appeals only touches upon this and does not go into it at length, stating that the question Is not before it The matter now disposed of arose through the city, under the Rapid Transit Act, taking, the upland and land under water at the foot of Montague street for subway tunnel purposes. The Pierrepont estate claimed the property and offered to sell it for $160,000. This offer was rejected, legal proceedings for a time holding up construction of the tunnel that was being built 45 feet below mean low water at the pier line. On January 26, 1915, the city, in a proceeding before Supreme Court Justice Manning, won the appointment of a commission of condemnation.

When the commissioners, County Judge Mitchell May, William F. Fo-garty and Joseph A. Gulder, awarded $184,942 to the Pierrepont estate, the New York Dock Company appeared and claimed damage to Its adjoining land and piers. The commissioners reported that the company had failed to establish any property right In the Pierrepont property. It was shown that after the discontinuance of the Wall Street Ferry, which had for fifty-two years occupied the Pierrepont property, the New York Dock Company, from July, 1912, to the latter part of 1914, used the ferry slip In docking boats alongside of Its piers.

No Damage to Dock Company. The claim of the New York Dock Company arises out of the ownership and use of Piers 14 and 16. They are built entirely upon Its own property. No portion of the Pierrepont property is owned by the company. Its sole claim to damages, it is recited In the findings of the Court of Appeals, Is under tho act to establish bulkhead and pier lines for the Port of New York under Chapter 763 of the laws of 1857.

Under this, the Picrreponts conceded they could not build any pier extending out from their bulkhead line upon their land under water, and the south side of Pier 14 and the north side of Pier 15 had to be kept open for navigation and for approach to the docks for purposes of wharfage. The opinion, written by Judge Crane, says: "The New York Dock Company, therefore, has two piers running out into the navigable water so situated that no other dock can be built within 100 feet of them. No permanent obstruction can interfere with its use of these docks for the mooring of its vessels and for tho collection of wharfage. If the city in this proceeding has undertaken to interfere with these rights and has taken not only the land under water belonging to tho Pierreponts but the use of the water itself and has acquired the right to build upon the land under water and close up the ferry slip, thus Interfering with or preventing navigation alongside of Pier 14 and Pier 15, it may bo that the New York Dock Company would be entitled to compensation. Although by the repeal of Chapter 763 of the Laws of 1857 the State could remove all basis for this claim, yet so long as this statute remains upon the bosks and the water must be kept clear for a hundred feet from the piers, the dock company may have such rights as require compensation if taken away for public Brick Structure at 156 and 158 Pierrepont Street, Belongs to Library.

KOLACKI LOSES APPEAL (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, July 13 John Kolackl, as administrator, brought an action, under the employer's liability law, to re cover damages for the death of Michael Kolackl, due, It was alleged, to the negligence of the American Sugar Refining Company, by which he was employed. He had been sent to get some bags in one of the filter houses, and while at work he was crushed fatally by an elevator. The trial court gave the plaintiff Judgment for $6,108, but the Appellate Division reversed this Judgment and directed a new trial. Now the Court of Appeals has affirmed this latter Judgment and ordered Judgment absolute against the plaintiff, John Kolackl, on the stipulation, with costs in all courts. scyi was a corporal in tne iinin joasi Vrtlllery, Fifteenth Company, stationed at Fort Hancock, before he entered the training camp at Fort Monroe.

WEARING APPAREL IN SUDDEN DEMAND That the front wall and main roof of the city-owned three-floor brick building at 156-158 iPerrepont street are in such defective condition as possibly to fall Into the street at any moment, Is stated in a report of the Bureau of Public Buildings submitted by Controller Craig to the Sinking Fund Commission. This building, an old-timer, was acquired by the city In 1903 for use as a public library, and more recently was a livery stable. It has been vacant for two years. The Sinking Fund Commission, acting on the recommendation of Mr.

Craig, has now requested the trustees of the Brooklyn Public Library, custodians of the building, to return the property to the Commissioners, who, in all probability, will sell it at auction. Controller Craig Informed the Commission that the building in question was in a dilapidated condition and the total revenue it produced had been $10,000 less than the interest on the money Invested." "There are no indications that the propetrty will me used for the purpose for which it was required," the Controller said. "It has been exempt from taxation for fifteen years and the has been $10,000 less than the interest on the investment. "The building has not been occupied for the past two years because of its unrentable condition, and the Bureau of Public Buildings has filed a report In which it is stated that the front wall and main roof of the 'building are now defective and liable to fall.
