York and his son, Frank B. York, comprising the law firm of York York, today filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court three suits against the McKeever brothers, part owners of Ebbets Field. The total damages asked by York York, who have been attorneys for the MeKeevers for many years, is about $15,000 and includes alleged balances for legal services and for a commission in getting the Government to purchase three vessels owned by the McKeevers for $270,000. The most important action is against McKeever the complaint alleging that on February Me 11 last, McKeever Bros. were the owners of three fishing vessels named Edward J.

McKeever Stephen W. McKeever Jr. and McKeever and that the corporation of McKeever Bros. hired the law firm to obtain a purchaser for them. The price asked was $90.000 each, and York York claim that the he agreement was that if a purchaser was procured for the three vessels they were to get 5 per cent.

as a commission. On April 7 last the lawyers say they obtained a purchaser for the vessels -the Government of the United States--and three vessels cle were delivered to the Navy Yard Philadelphia and McKeever Bros. got the $270,000 for them. York York claim under this cause of action 500. McKeever Bros.

Camp chairs and coaches to bire; auto service, Spirit of the German-American Press A few days before the New York Call was summoned to "show cause" why it should not be excluded from the mails, the Milwaukee Leader, tor Berger's paper, also found its mailing privilege withdrawn. The case is thus described by the Milwaukee Germania Herold: "Milwaukee Leader The Postal Privilege Is Withdrawn From the Milwaukee Newspaper--The Law Regarding This. "The privilege of sending the newspaper by mail has been withdrawn from the Milwaukee Leader.

Postmaster Schutz received the order from Washington from Postmaster General Burleson on Wednesday, in future to forbid the sending of the newspaper through the mails. Questioned as to the grounds for this, Mr. Schutz declared that he had nothing to say, and that the order of the Postmaster General spoke for itself. "The Postmaster General received the right under the so-called Espionage Act (of June 15, this year), to deny the privilege of sending by post by the publishers of any printed material, in case this printed material contained hostile material." The article then continues to show how under the new Trading With the Enemy Act, when it shall have become law, the Milwaukee Leader could be prevented from street selling as well as be forbidden the mailing privilege. From the Illinois Staats-Zeltung It is learned that there was a hearing on the case in Washington on September 22.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. October 10-The October Jury will begin to hear testimony the case of Mrs. Blanca Cirand De Saulles, who shot and killed her hsuband, John Longer De Saulles, at The Box, Westbury, on the evening of Friday, August 2, tomorrow. A number of witnesses have been subpoenaed to appear before the Grand Jury. The entire case will be re-enacted and the wheels of justice that will result in her acquittal or guilt will be turned.

In the meantime the prisoner remains in her cell, except for short durations during each week, when she is permitted to walk about the prison grounds in charge of Mrs. Phineas Seaman, wife of the Sheriff. These walks have been ordered by her physician, who has brought the woman around to a condition of health that will permit her to undergo the hardships of a court trial. To say that Mrs. De Saulles is a well woman is incorrect.

Some days she is so weak that she does not leave All Brooklynites, Buy Your Liberty Bonds At Brooklyn Banks. her bed all day, but her general condition is better and shows marked improvement from week to week. The denial of the privilege of seeing her son haunts her. Little Jack has not been near his mother in a month. She asks for him daily but he, is now in the care of his uncle, Charles De Saulles, who is said to be living at Long Beach.

Sheriff Seaman denied that Mrs. De Saulles had expressed an inclination to him to 30 througk the courtroom in which she will be tried. This was in reply to a question of a rumor that Mrs. De Saulles had visited the courtroom during one of the evenings when the was out for a stroll. Funeral Directors F.

Wiedener rushed into Miss Vivian's bedroom just in time to see the black man go out through the window taking the silk handbag that he happened to have in his hand when tiscovered. When Policeman Wagner asked him what he was doing with the silk bag Jones reached for his pocket; but the policeman was too quick and caught him before he could draw his revolver. In the bag was a gold watch and $9.42 in cash. At the station Jones said that the job at the Widener home was his third for the night, and he produced money and trinkets to prove it. From the home of William E.

McGraw of 443 Second street he had purloined an emerald ring and $6.98 in cash. Thomas Gray of 379 First street, had been levied upon to the extent of a watch, a bracelet, $3 in cash and four cigars. Jones had also a complete of cuff buttons in his pockets which he said were all that remained from an earlier night's work in a house on Kingston avenue. Lieutenant James Walsh a showed Jones a list of the burglaries in the Park Slope section and asked him how many were jobs of his. Some of them Jones admitted.

The others he denied and said he never went above the first floor. He was held without bail for examination by Magistrate Voorhees in the Flatbush court. Political Notes William P.

"Charles M. Beard, professor of political economy Columbia University, yesterday handed in his resignation to the board of trustees. He said that he hoped distinctly that America and Allies would win, and that from the the beginning of the war he hoped that German militarism would be suppressed.

He must, however, take a decided stand against the methods which the trustees were employing against professors who were not on their side. To him, academic freedom was everything, and he felt himself compelled to resign his position. The situation of a professor at Columbia was worse than that of a day laborer, for the authorities proceeded in the question appointment and dismissal of professors with great arbitrariness." The Kansas City. Presse publishes a note on the workings of a foreign lan- guage newspaper under the present law. "Foreign Language Newspapers Censored.

Volunteer Translators Chosen for the Office." "Washington--The foreign language of the United States have been, papers so to speak, placed under official observation, for in conformity with the new law, the Postoffice Department has worked out a system which in effect signifies a licensing of papers of that kind. "The plans to prevent publication of pro-German material, whether in foreign or native language newspapers, are now complete. In each newspaoffice a volunteer translator will per be established, who will act as censor." Following are two editorial parafrom the Westliche Post (St. graphs Louis): "Up till the last, moment, Senator La Follette made stand felt on the war-tax question. The man doesn't seem to know fear." "The first of a series of lectures on Irish Literature will be given tomorrow evening by Dr.

Gertrude Schoepperle. She surely comes direct from the Emerald WOODS PRAISES PLAY PART OF GARY PLAN "Godsend to City Children," Says Police Commissioner. "The play feature of the Gary gystem: is a Godsend to the children of New York City. Fifty minutes' play a day for every public school child, under skilled supervision, will surely help to save the lives and limbs of our children. And what is more, its educative effect will go a long way toward making them boys and girls, strengthened to the temptations better, insident to city life." This is what Police Commissioner Woods thinks of the Work-Study-Play school plan will mean to the city's children.

He welcomes it as a great aid to the vigorous campaign he has conducted for their safety. He considers it an innovation in line with the preventive measures which he has introduced, the Junior police, the backyard playgrounds and the play streets. "There are two things taht are overwhelmingly important just now," the Commissioner said today. "That as much time as possible be given to children for play, and as much space as possible. Every school should have an adequate play yard and play should be a vital part of its course.

Furthermore, these playgrounds should be open winter and summer during school vacations. "We have 1,016,520 children in Greater New York, between the ages of five and fifteen years. Of this number, 682.541 are compelled to play away from home. "The Park Department and Board of Education have facilities for caring for 185,186. Private organizations could care for about 11,000 here.

Other organizations, such as the Parks and Playgrounds Association and the Police Department, could care for enough to make this total over 000. But even then only one-third of our children would have proper play space. "That is why a school system that provides play for our boys and girls is a boon. If the hundreds of thousands of elementary school children were cared for, our problem of safeguarding them would be greatly reduced. "I believe, too, in a park system that will go to the greatest extreme in making itself attractive for the children to play in.

I believe strongly in the movement that the Police Deerty owners to smash down miserable partment has launched do to get propfences that divide back yards into checkerboard spaces. If this splendid movement is carried out on a wholesale scale, it will make a tremendous difference in the welfare of the city's chilrden. I would even utilize space on roofs, properly safeguarded, of course. More play facilities is what I am constantly advocating for our boys and girls." INCREASE SUSPENDED.

Rosenbrock Promises to Turn Light On Full at Meeting in School. Because of the interview he gave out last Saturday, in which he pledged himself to support the candidacy of Mayor Mitchel, Herbert L.

Carpenter, president of the Associated Civic As. sociations, was the storm center last night at the regular weekly meeting of the organization, at 1 Greene avenue, around which a gale of furious political discussion raged for more than two hours. Resolutions were introduced cen suring Mr. Carpenter for having given the interview while president of the associated boards, and a number of delegates, urging the vote of censure, charged that Mr. Carpenter was guilty of bad faith in giving out the interview pledging support to Mitchel, in his capacity as president.

Although the move to appoint a grievance committee to investigate Mr. Carpenter's action finally failed, it was only after a session in which political discussion was the entire business of evening. The ground for absolving Mr. Carpenter was his declaration that he had not issued the interview in any official cal capacity, but merely as an dividual expression of personal ion. offered this as his justification when he was put upon the defense, and in support of his assertion charged that The Eagle was responsible.

"When I went down to The Eagle. office," said he, "I made the explicit request that my name in connection with the interview should not be linked up with the association, The Eagle so promised. "When it did publish the interview in this way I sent down a statement Tuesday morning, making my position plain and showing that I had spoken only as an individual. The Eagle promised it would publish this statement, but it didn't do so." Senator George F. Thompson, who is counsel for the Central Brooklyn Taxpayers in their fight against the Classon avenue sewer assessment plan, was present and charged that when Borough President Pounds was Acting Borough President he was in favor of having the city pay for the sewer improvement, but since his elevation he has been consistently in favor of the local assessment plan.

"But Pounds, running for re-election, may see the error of his way," he said. John D. Rosenbrock, president of the Taxpayers Protective Association, led the fight to have Carpenter disciplined. He declared that Carpenred ter's interview, issued last Saturday, was undiplomatic, to say the least, and had placed the association in an embarrassing position. Rosenbrock announced that a meeting will be held tonight at Public School 70, Macon street and Patchen avenue, when he will fully discuss the Carpenter interview.

Senator Thompson will also be a speaker. Rosenbrock declared Carpenter was unjust in his criticism of the press. He said the Brooklyn newspapers had always treated the taxpayers justly in the sewer fight. Mr. Carpenter came to The Eagle Building last Saturday and volunteered his statement, pledging support to Mayor Mitchel.

He made no request of any kind that his official position should not be linked up with the interview. Mr. Carpenter's statement that he had spoken as an individual was published in The Eagle yesterday, on page 17, under the heading "Political -Editor, AUTOMOBILES FOR HIRE.
