Hyde, son of Charles H. Hyde of Port Washington, L. and, Miss Beth- Lloyd Clarke, daughter of George C. Clarke of 12 West 74th Manhattan, received marriage license yesterday in Manhattan, Absolute Rule by People, Plan of Bavarian Soviet Munich, Monday, April 7-Complete severance from the old German Imperialism, as declared still to be manifest in the Ebert-Scheidemann Government of Germany, and the resumption of a "brotherly connection" with the Rusian and Hungarian peoples, is announced in the proclamation of the new Soviet Government for Bavaria, formed here. "Long live the world revolution!" the proclamation concludes.

The text of the document reads: "The decision arrived at for Bavaria is the formation of a council of the republic or revolutionary workers and peasants of Bavaria, including all our brothers, now united, separated by no party laws. From now on no exploitation or oppression will be tolerated. The dictatorship of the proletariat has now become a ract. The legalization of a genuine socialistic community is now achieved, in which every workingman may participate in public life and in a just socialistic age. "The Landtag has been dissolved and the old Ministry retired.

People's commissaries, responsible to people and chosen by a council of the working people, will receive extraordinary powers to be employed in certain labor fields. Their assailants will be intelligent men from all parts of the revolutionary and socialistic community. Countless valuable forces of officialdom, especially from the lower middle official class, will be asked to co-operate in the new work. The eliminated and the press will be socialized.

It will resume immediately a brothorly connection with these peoples, but it declines any connection with the contemptuous Ebert-Scheidemann Government, because that government is continuing under the flag of a socialistic republic, the imperialistic, capitalistic and military business of the disgraceful, brokendown German Empire. It calls upon all German brothers to take the same view.

It greets all proletarians wherever revolutionary socialism is fighting--in Wurtemberg, in the Ruhr District, in the whole world. "As a sign of joyous hope for a fortunate future for all humanity it establishes April 7 as a holiday for all humanity, as a sign of the beginning of the departure, the flight, of the age of capitalism, all work is stopped. Bavaria ceases, on April 7, in so far as it is not necessary for the welfare of the working people, to do labor. "Long live free Bavaria! Long live the Council Government!

"$1.30 GAS OR BANKRUPTCY" On the plea that the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company will be driven into bankruptcy if it cannot collect a higher rate for gas from its consumers, lawyers for the company yesterday afternoon asked the Appellate Division to upset the decision of Supreme Court Justice Cropsey, who refused to modify an injunctions previously issued by Justice Benedict, who forbade the gas company from charging more than 95 cents per 1,000 cubic feet for gas. The company seeks to put into effect a rate of $1.30, but the two Supreme Court decisions stand in the way.

Godfrey Goldmark, attorney for the Public Service Commission, told the Appellate Division that the company's appeal should be dismissed, arguing that Justice Cropsey's decision was entirely proper and the only redress for the company was an appeal from the Benedict injunction. Decision was reserved. STATE HOMEOPATHS HOLD MEETING HERE Elect Dr. Roy Upham of Brooklyn President at Assembly in Hotel Bossert.

SMITH URGES THAT WOMEN'S WAGE BILL BET TAKEN UP SOON Says to Employ Them at Less Than Living Pay Injures Their Health.

Albany, April 8-Governor Smith sent to the Legislature today a long message urging favorable consideration of the Foley-Bewley bill, designed to create wage boards to fix minimum wages for women and children in industry. Th "At the very least," the Governor wrote, "the measure should be brought upon the floor for discussion." "When we speak of a minimum wage," the message set forth, "we do not mean that wages should be fixed or regulated by law, or that the principle of competition in the fixing of wages should be abandoned, or, as it has been otherwise expressed, a living wage does not interfere with collective or even individual bargaining, but it establishes the rule that no contract shall be made which to the women workers means the giving away of everything that makes life worth living and results in injury to the whole of society, "A or living wage means the minimum standard below which wages should not be allowed to fall in the low-paid industries and it has generally been defined as the amount necessary to maintain the woman worker in health and decent comfort. Nor does the minimum wage have the effect of compelling the employer to employ the woman at a certain wage, or of compelling a woman to work for that wage. In its essence, the legal or minimum wage is prohibitory, not compulsory, 'in character. The State in effect says that to employ women at wage that is insufficient to sustain them is a public menace, and, therefore, that danger is prohibited.

"When less than a living wage is received the difference must be made up in some form. The woman worker pays in reduced health. The employer pays in greatly reduced efficiency. The whole working class to which the woman belongs pays as the result of an unfair and below the belt competition. The State pays through its public and private charities, its hospitals, reformatories and other eleemosynary institutions.

Heredity pays in the form of poorly nurtured and delinquent offspring, and the nation pays in the impairment and impoverishment of its capital resources. "There are three main in factors affecting employment: To provide a safe and sanitary place to work, to prevent excessive employment, and to secure to the worker, if she is in a class that is unable to do any collective bargaining, a wage suffcient to enable her to maintain herself in health and comfort. The State has provided for the first two. I now ask that the Legislature provide for the third. "If you will pass this legislation and send it to me, we both will be entitled to equal credit for removing one of the greatest industrial evils of our day." HUNGARY TO END OUTBREAKS BY REDS New Regime Will Protect the Bourgeoisie Is Friendly to Americans.

(By the Associated Press.) Budapest, Sunday, April 6-Great earnestness is displayed by the members of the new government in carrying out the work assigned to them. They are ready to discuss their plans to solve problems, and they refrain from abusing capitalism. The maintenance of strict discipline to protect the bourgeoisie and to prevent Red Guard outbreaks has been decided upon by the government. Jules Alpari, a prominent Communist, and Jules Sevresi, People's Commissioner in charge of socialization of factories, argue that Commonism is the only method which Central Europe can be saved from total ruin. Capitalism, they maintain, is unable to cope with the threat of bankruptcy, high wages and the unwillingness of laborers to work.

Communism They that under workmen cannot strike and are obliged to accept a reasonable wage. While Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, who was sent here by the Peace Conference at a Paris, had authority to arrange a new armistice between Hungary and the Entente Powers, it appears that he did not do so before his departure this morning. British residents of the city will leave for Paris by way of Vienna on Saturday. With them will go the American wives of Hungarians, who will be permitted to take with them their money and effecte.

The government seems to be doing everything possible in favor of Americans and other foreigners. Referees Appointed. BY KELBY. J. Watson vs.

Dickey, Tiny Buckskin Shoe, Exhibit In Damage Suit, Is Missing Five staid and serious Justices of the Appellate Division sat in solemn conclave yesterday afternoon to hear two dignified attorneys argue a motion of the loss of Miss Delgrowing phine Harriot's diminutive and shapely white buckskin shoe. The shoe figured in evidence on January 22, 1919, when Miss Harriot sued the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company for personal injuries sustained while she was alighting from a trolley car. By reason of the sudden starting of the car, Miss Harriott claimed, she was thrown to the ground and sustained a fractured left ankle. The shoe, marked in evidence plaintiff's exhibit 1, was shown to the jury before Supreme Court Justice Kapper to demonstrate how Miss Harriott's foot caught in the car door she was thrown.

A verdict for $3,500 was returned in favor of Miss Harriott, and the attorney for the railroad company moved to set it aside 88 excessive. Justice Kapper denied the motion, whereupon the defendant's attorney secured permission to appeal the case to the Appellate Division. At the conclusion of the trial, J.I CAPERTON ARRIVES FOR FLEET REVIEW; BRINGS WRECK CREW Pittsburg, Pacific Flagship, Joins Victory Armada Vanguard. Reception Plans Made. Built Up a Chain of 1,050 Stores With $65,000,000 Capital.

Erected World's Tallest Building. (Special to The Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. 8-Frank Winfield Woolworth, founder of the great chain of five and ten cent stores United States, Canada and England builder of the Woolworth Building in Manhattan, building in the world, exceeded in height by only one structure, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, died suddenly here early this morning at Winfield Hall, on his country estate. He had not been in good health for several months, but nevertheless attended to business affairs in New York City, and came to Winfield Hall for the weekends. He came here from the city last Friday, His body will be taken to home at 990 Fifth Manhattan, where the funeral services will be held on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock.

The interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, Mr. Woolworth had been a summer resident of Glen Cove for 11 years, and had only last summer completed Winfield Hall, one of the most elaborate residences on Long Island, to replace his home which was burned in 1916. Mr. Woolworth had spent much time and a lavish outlay of money on Winfield Hall, which he furnished with decorations and furniture from many lands. Mr.

Woolworth was at Rodman, Jefferson County, on born. Frank Winfield Woolworth. April 13, 1852, the son of John H. Woolworth and Fanny McBrier, of English ancestry on his father's side and of Scotch-Irish ancestry on the maternal side. He was educated in the country schools and in the Commercial College at Watertown, N.

Y. He left his father's farm in March, 1873, and obtained employment as a clerk in the dry goods store of Augsbury Moore, in Watertown, the firm being reluctant to employ him because he was such a green farmer boy that they could see little prospect of his ever becoming of any value to them. He remained with the firm for six years, during that time it was changed to the name of Moore Smith. They started a little five-cent counter, barely three by five feet, and it was from this that young Woolworth obtained the idea of starting five and ten cent stores, a business that now numbers 1,050 branches and has a capital of $65,000,000. Started With $5 Capital.

Mr. Woolworth embarked upon his independent business career on February 22, 1879, at Utica, N. with a cash capital of $5 and a stock obtained from Moore Smith on his personal note. He was obsessed with the idea that five and ten cent stores could be developed into a great business, but with his limited experience and lack of funds he was so timid of the venture that he wandered around Utica for hours 'on the fateful day of starting the enterprise, with a telegram in his pocket and uncertain whether or not to send it to Moore Smith, ordering the goods to be sent. He afterward said that it was more the fear of shame in backing out than anything else that prompted him to finally send the telegram, The store was started, his goods were paid for, but he was discouraged by the new idea not becoming popular in Utica to the extent that he expected.

He sold the store after four months of varying success and shipped the remainder of his goods to Lancaster, where he opened a new store along the same lines. It became popular almost immediately and was followed by stores at Harrisburg, Philadelphia and other cities, and the Woolworth idea was established permanently. The stores were not for a long time paying investments, but Mr. Woolworth stuck to the principle of making each store pay for itself before establishing another. The business developed so fast that there were many imitators, and finally Mr.

Woolworth conceived the idea of combining all of them that he could get under one management, and it was done with a capitalization of 000.000 and more than 600 stores. Then came the plans for the Woolworth building at Park pl. and Broadway, Manhattan, which Mr. Woolworth financed and made a monument to his business. It contains 55 stories with a tower reaching 750 feet above the sidewalk, and is one of the most beautiful structures in the world.

fitted with every known convenience for business. Mr. Woolworth married Miss Jennie Creighton, daughter of Thomas Creighton of Picton, Ontario, on June 11, 1876, and she survives him, with two daughters, Mrs. Charles E. F.

McCann and Mrs. James P. Donahue, both of Manhattan: also his brother, C. S. Woolworth, of Scranton, Pa.

Mr. Woolworth was a member of the New York Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants Association, the Union League, the Arkwright, Lotos and Hardware clubs in Manhattan and the Automobile Club of America He was a director of the Irving National Bank and of the Irving Trust Company, FOR ROOSEVELT TEMPLE (Special to The Eagle.)

Winter Wheat Crop Nearly Two Billions A record winter wheat yield of 837,000,000 bushels is forecast by Government in its offcial report today. The previous high record was 684,990,000 bushels, produced in 1914.

PAID IN WAR ZONE FOR ESCAPADE HERE Court Lenient With Three Youthful Offenders Home From War. One Killed Overseas. How four Brooklyn boys did penance for a youthful escapade in the trenches of France, one making the extreme sacrifice, was unfolded yesterday before County Judge J. Grattan MacMahon. September, 1917, Michael McTigert, Joseph Madigan, Thomas Callow and James McVeigh were brought into the County Court on a charge of grand larceny.

They had driven off in machine which was standing at the curb at Classon and Nostrand and were arrested after they had brought the car back. The men had already enlisted in the 23d Regiment and, in view of that fact District Attorney Lewis consented that the disposition of the case be put over until they came back. McVeigh died in No Man's Land, and yesterday the other three, battlescarred veterans of the great war, returned to face the court on the old charge. They were technically guilty of a crime, so Judge MacMahon permitted them to plead to attempted petit larceny, the lowest degree of crime on the calendar and suspended sentence immediately. On 27 different occasions, McTigert is said to have gone into Man's Land to bring back wounded comrades and on one occasion, when the commanding officer of his company was killed, he led the entire body of men over the top to victory.

The body, according to Mr. George, will be interred in Potter's Field unless relatives can be found, and it is known that the deceased had relatives living in Brooklyn by 'the name of De Graw.

Admiral William B. Caperton, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, arrived aboard the United States cruiser' Pittsburg, his flagship, which was flying a 500-foot homeward bound pennant. Salutes to the Rear Admiral were fired by the guard ship Amphitrite as the Pittsburg came into the harbor to join the vanguard of the Victory Fleet of American naval vessels assembling here for a twoweeks' visit, April 15 to May 1. The Pittsburg has been cruising lately in South American waters.

She brought to port Capt. Barbridge, his wife and eleven members of the crew of the American schooner Chaska, which caught fire at sea and sank near the Island of Trinidad, off the coast of Brazil, on March 26. The the Brazilian authorities, put in at Pittsburg, in response to a call de from Trinidad to take on the schooner's crew, which had reached the island 1r an open boat after thrilling experiences. Caperton Hauls Down His Flag. Admiral Caperton hauled down his four-starred flag immediately the Pittsburgh came to anchor and turned his vessel over to the cruiser and transport service.

The vessel, it was said, would be refitted to take part in the repatriation of American troops. Whether or not relinquishment of his flagship would be followed an by A Admiral Caperton's reversion to his prewar rank of rear admiral was not known at the office of Vice Admiral Gleaves, chief of the transport fleet. It was stated that no orders had been issued covering the admiral's future duties. With the return of Sims from England, where the commander of the American naval forces in European waters held the rank of full admiral, which he gave up for his former rating as rear admiral when he boarded the Mauretania for the trip home, the Navy now has only three admiralsBenson, chief of operations; Mayo, commander of the Atlantic fleet, and Caperton. The vice admirals are Gleaves and Wilson, the latter commanding American war vessels in French waters.

The Pacific fleet has been In Pacific and Southern Atlantic waters throughout the United States' participation in the war. During the latter part of 1917 formal calls were paid at chief ports of several South American republics, at which Admiral Caperton and his officers were guests of the Presidents and other high government dignitaries. The Mayor's Committee of Welcome to home-coming troops today gave out a statement concerning the welcome to the fleet when it arrives in this port. The statement, in part, follows: "When the great fleet of American dreadnoughts, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and other craft arrives in this port next week for the purpose of 'brushing up' in anticipation of summer duty, it will be welcomed down the bay by the heads of the Navy Department, probably including Acting Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vice Admiral William S.

Sims and by members of the Mayor's Committee of Welcome. The armada of warships will remain here for about two weeks, but the men of the fleet will not have opportunity for a land parade. That decision was practically arrived at during a ference of naval chiefs following the homecoming of Vice Admiral Sims. "Arrangements have been made by the Mayor's Committee of Welcome for special landing places for the men of the big fleet at fifteen points along the Hudson River. Special- permits are also to be given for a passenger service between the shore and the ships.

"It is understood that before midsummer there will be a great naval parade in this city. This demonstration will show to the residents of New York practically every branch of the naval service and will probably be reviewed by President Wilson and most of the members of his Cabinet as well as by State and city officials." SEEK IMPROVEMENT IN EXAMINING AND RATING TEACHERS Board of Education Votes to Appoint Committee Representing Different Branches of System. A committee to consider improvements in the system of examining and rating teachers was provided for by the Board of Education, meeting as a committee of the whole yesterday afternoon. It will consist of the city superintendent, an associate superintendent, an examiner, a district superintendent, a principal of a high school and a principal of an elementary school. It will be the duty of this committee to "consider the system and the methods of examinations, the official ratings and the records and report to the board at as early a date as possible recommendations for such modifications of examinations for promotions, the rating methods of supervising authorities and the official records and such other recommendations as in their judgment provide a more practical businesslike method of promotions for teachers and others throughout the system." Sometime ago, Anning S.

Prall brought up the matter of delay in reporting the results of examinations and the promulgation of eligible lists, and the question of appointing assistant examiners was raised. As a result. Walter S. Hervey of the Board of Examiners, wrote to Acting State Commissioner of Education Thomas E. Finnegan in reference to the matter.

In reply, Commisioner Finnegan expressed the opinion that the Board of Education could appoint assistant examiners, and suggested an amendment to the education law increasing the number of examiners in a city of 1,000,000 or more from four to seven, SO as to apply to New York City. The board refused to indorse the amendment and voted to appoint a committee to consider the necessity of appointing assistant examiners. Dr. Ettinger said he hoped that this would relieve the city superintendent of the necessity of turning over his clerical and supervising staffs to the Board of Examiners. Mr.

Prall referred to an examination taken by 900 persons, only 150 of whom passed. This, he said, he was Maxwell theory of passing only the number required land no others. He did not think this was fair, as it would tend to militate against those who failed should they desire to go elsewhere. then introduced his resolution providing for an investigation of the matter, which was adopted.
