PAULIST CHOIR FATHER FINN, Conductor AT THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC PALM SUNDAY EVENING, APRIL 13 AT 8:15 O'CLOCK A SPECIAL MID-LENTEN PROGRAM HAS BEEN ARRANGED 100 KNOWN DEAD IN WESTERN STORM Hundreds Hurt in Tornado Which Hit Texas and Oklahoma-Oil Fields Hit. Dallas, April 10-One hundred known dead had been listed as victims of the tornado which yesterday struck northern Texas, southern Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas, when order began to form today from the chaos caused by the storm.

The injured, some of them so badly hurt that they cannot recover, are expected to number several hundred. The property damage, while it will run into many thousands of will be smaller than at first expected, as the path of the storm avoided all principal cities, striking only farmhouses and smaller villages. Last night the homeless were cared for by their neighbors. The storm in its erratic course did not devastate any entire regions, often leaving several houses untouched and then dipping in and demolishing the next few homes. The temperature dropped to freezing along the northern line of counties after the storm.

The counties most seriously damwere Grayson, Fannin, Hunt, Wood, Zandt, Wichita, Collin, Camp 'and Titus in Texas, and Bryan, Cotton and Pontotoc in Oklahoma, The oil fields of Wichita County and of Southern Oklahoma suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars damage in wrecked derricks and machinery. The hour which storm struck probably caused the high death rate. Nearly all of the destroyed contained sleeping people. In most cases the first the occupants heard of the storm was when the walls crashed down upon their beds. VICTORY FETE MEETING A meeting of the general committee in charge of the plans for the ville Victory Celebration will be held tonight at the Brownsville Hebrew Free School.

Stone, near Pitkin aves. The committee also plans to erect a monument, which will bear the name of every young who served in the Army and Navy. Special mention of mars those who died will be made on the monument. A parade in which the National Guard of the State will be invited to participate will be held on the day the monument is unveiled. Another feature of the plan is the publication of the book entitled, "Brownsville's Part in the War." NEW BROOKLYN CORPORATIONS.

Albany, April 10-A charter has been granted the South Brooklyn Dry Goods whose capital is $25,000. directors are Louis Somerman and Hirsch Schpoont of Brooklyn, and Charles Glansberg of the 1 Bronx.

FIFTY UNEMPLOYED HIRED AT GREENWOOD Improvements at Cemetery Are Planned -Jobs Given Out by Lottery.

Selecting employees by lottery is the novel way that Urbain J. Ledoux, in charge of a free employment bureau at 203 East Ninth Manhattan, adopted to distribute 50 jobs at Greenwood Cemetery among some 200 applicants who were clamoring for work. Mr. Ledoux is engaged in philanthropic work in his employment bureau, known as the Stepping Stone, and has some original ideas for solving the unemployment problem, which are by means exhausted by his lottery scheme. Among other requirements of the Stepping Stone family is a daily bath.

is considered a large factor in securing a job. The bath is provided free, but must be accepted by all those who wish to remain on the eligible list, As a solution for the unemployment problem, Mr. Ledoux believes that during the period of readjustment those who are fortunate enough to secure jobs should work but five hours a day, and thus give at least half a day's work to the less fortunate. A proposal to this effect submitted at a convention of the unemployed to be held May 1 in 44 Bowery. By this plan it is urged that all women who prefer industrial to domestic work will have a chance to remain on their jobs, Superintendent William C.

Grassau of Greenwood Cemetery, in speaking of the fifty new men secured through the Stepping Stone, said Mr. Ledoux had brough them over personally today, and that they seemed to be good workers, anxious to make good. "We have a great amount of work to be done, and have been trying to hire men in order to carry out improvements that have been pending since the war started. I believe Mr. Ledoux is engaged in worthy cause, and should be encouraged by all who are in need of men." The Ledeux employment agency is the outgrowth of a bread line established at 44 Bowery when the United States employment bureaus were closed.

The first announcements of its opening were made by distributing 2,500 sandwiches left over from lunch provided for the 27th Division parade. He has already placed several hundred men in positions, invariably selecting them by lottery. Call "Columbus 8200" Any Hour, Day or Night! FRANK E. CAMPBELL "THE FUNERAL CHURCH" (Non -Sectarian) B'way at 66th Manhattan Downtown Office, 23d St. 8th Ay WAR INSURANCE FOR ALL DISABLED Will Get Monthly Compensation.

Only 125 Cases of Total Blindness in U. S. Forces. Washington, April 10-There were but 125 cases of total blindness and less than 4,000 amputations in the American forces engaged in the war, it is stated today by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance in an announcement concerning the bureau's activity in supplying crippled soldiers and sailors with artificial 1 limbs and in otherwise caring for the wounded and disabled. Not even all of the 125 cases of total blindness cited, it is stated, have yet been declared as permanent by the medical officers in charge.

Relative to amputations, denial is made, on the authority of Surg. Gen. Ireland and Col. Charles E. Banks, chief medical officer of the War Risk Insurance, that there were any cases in which men lost both arms and both legs.

There have been more than 500 arblindness cited, it is statde, have yet tificial limbs furnished to disabled men to date by the bureau under the provisions of the act of Congress. "Upon being discharged from War Department hospitals as unfit for further service, all men disabled as a result of injury or disaster suffered in fits line of of the duty, are entitled to the war risk insurance act," the statement says. "If their condition demands further treatment they are entitled to medical attention in one of a large number of hospitals now being established throughout the country, be operated by the public health service. If a man is disabled, but his condition needs no further medical attention, he may secure from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance 3 monthly compensation." This is based upon the percentage of handicap which each suffers as a wage earner as a result of his disability. CONSECRATE BISHOP HICKEY Providence, R.

E. Hassell, 853 Marcy ave. A novelty was a trumpet solo by Miss Clara Haven, with 'cello obligato by Miss Cora. Sauter. The effect was excellent.

Miss Sauter's 'cello solos were a Ber-1 ceuse by Pirani and "La Fauna" and "Caprice Espagnol" by Maskowski, also Chopin's "Ballade in Minor," and a Tschaikowsky "'Theme and Variations" was able and expressive, and his work in an excerpt from MacDowell's "Indian Suite" was masterly. Miss Inez Overell, soprano, sang a group of Indian songs including the "Sunrise Call' of Troyer's and the "Place of Breaking by Cadman. Her work in these individual numbers was tuneful and virile, and in her singing of "Jean" by Burleigh and "Birds on the Wing" by Nutting, she gave much satisfaction. Miss Gladys Gauvreau, in violin solos, a "Gavotte" by Gossec, "Souvenir" by Dradla, and the Berceuse" from played with style and skill. Dr.

Dale's tenor solos included an aria from "Pagliacci," "Christ in Flanders," and two songs by James excellent Dun, in all of which he made an record for himself.

Its directors include the Rev. Henri F. Gondret, Edward C. Martin and D. W.

Robertson of Brooklyn. A A A A A A A TRY ALL B.R.T. HEADS, HYLAN TELLS LEWIS; CRITICISES JUSTICE "Acquittals May Stop Change of Venue Habit" Asks About Howell. Mayor Hylan today sent a letter to District Attorney Lewis advocating the trial of all the defendants in the B. R.

T. wreck case to let the jury decide whether they are guilty or not. If all are acquittel it will tend, in the Mayor's opinion, "to put an practice of Justices of the Supreme Court transferring cases from jurisdiction where the crime was committed." He intimated that Justice Callaghan, who granted the B. R. T.

motion for a change of venue, is responsible for the acquittal of two of the indicted men. This is the letter: note that since the transfer to Nassau County of the indictments of the B. R. T. officials by Justice Callaghan the jury found two of the defendants not guilty.

I understand that there seems to be some question as to whether the other defendants should be tried, for the reason that there is little chance of getting a conviction that county. "I believe the other defendants should tried, and let the jury say whether these men are guilty or not guilty, and if a verdict of not guilty is found it will tend to put an end to the practice of justices a of the Supreme Court transferring cases from the jurisdiction where the crime was committed. When a little fellow is charged with a crime he is tried in the county where the crime was committed. "Would it be possible for inform me whether Leone D. Howell, surrogate of Nassau County, was employed by any one of the indicted B.

R. T. officials or by the B. R. T.

before the case was transferred to Nassau County or whether he appeared as the representative of any one of the defendants the trial was shifted to Nassau County?" Lt. Joseph Wright, vice president of the Passengers Protective Association, whose niece was among the Brighton wreck victims, has sent the following telegram to Assemblyman Burr of Brooklyn: "The people of Brooklyn expect you to do your duty in getting out of committee and passed the Black bill in reference to county judges practicing law. Will you do this and advocate its passage from the floor of the Arsembly District Attorney Lewis, when asked this afternoon whether he would make any comment or answer to Mayor Hylan's letter, said: "I have just received the Mayor's letter and I am preparing answer. Until that is delivered I shall say nothing concerning it." FRIENDS HONOR RININSLAND After a continuous service of twenty -five years in The Eagle circulation and advertising departments, Frank J.

TELEPHONE BUD 4V. 1409 MAIN. SOLDIER'S DOG WENT TO A CELL WITH HIM Gaffney Took Dog on Train and Punched Guard Who Objected to Winks' Presence, If every dog has his day, "Winks" his today at the Gates avenue court--a day his canine memory will probably cherish. For, imprisoned as he was in a basket and unable to sink his faithful teeth into the calves of the men who, he instinctively knew, were doing injury to his master, with the menace and the loyalty of his bark he brought about suspended sentence and freedom for the one human in whom he confides and for whom he lives. That lucky person is Pvt.

Francis H. Gaffney of the 357th Aero Squadron, Camp No. 1, Mineola, L. who lives at Minneapolis, ON Minn. "Winks' is the only thing in Gaffney's life that keeps him from getting blue.

Gaffney is a fighter and, like thousands of other sturdy Americans, passed his 16 months of enlisted service in five camps scattered about the U. S. A. while fellow townsmen were winning fame in France. But "'Winks' cheered up Pvt.

Gaffney to such an extent that even this bitter pill did not wholly curdle the milk of his human kindness. "Winks," a nondescript, slunk one night into camp in South Dakota which with a string to his short tail, from the offending can had mercifully into Gaffney's hand and then buried parted company. a He stuck his nose his canine devotion deep in Gaffney's heart. Thus it was that Gaffney chose a dog for his bunkie. From camp to camp went Gaffney and "Winks." "You can't have that mutt here!" each C.

O. said. "Then," would reply the sturdy private, "you can't have me. Take me, take my dog!" And he said it so sincerely that he always Last night at the Flatbush ave. station Pvt.

Gaffney, "Winks" in a basket slung across his shoulder, boarded the L. I. train for camp. "Winks," disturbed by jostling passengers, made his presence known with a short and angry snarl, "You can't take that aboard here," warned Guard Clarence H. Cutter of 155 Grant ave.

"I can't, hey! a Well, it will take a bigger man than you to take him from me. And I stay!" retorted Pvt. Gaffney. observed Winks. Words followed between passenger and guard and finally the guard, it is alleged, reached for the dog.

That was too much for Pvt. Gaffney, who struck the uniformed minion of the traction company across the face with the heel of his hand. At Nostrand the whistle havling been blown, a policeman met the train and Winks' master was arrested. Pvt. Gaffney, dog still in basket slung across back, went to the Atlantic ave.

station. Today, before Magistrate Dodd, Winks appeared as witness despite the protests of Court Attendant Walter Tilly. After Magistrate Dodd had suspended sentence, Winks was taken from his basket outside the courtroom for a breathing spell. observed Winks, who felt the disgrace of having his master, who offered his life for his country, jailed because of him. The Woman Voter The Republican women are becoming bitter against Senator James W.

Wadsworth Miss Eva Sherwood Potter said yesterday in connection with the minority report of the women on the League of Nations. "We women cannot the men realize that we are serious in our opposition to Senator Wadsworth. At the suffrage convention the women were united, and even there the men took it as a joke. They may wake up here if he is put up for Senator again." Dr. Adele Cuinet said: "The men do not seem to realize that we mean business and will stand firm.

Even the churches are trying to make us weaken by lauding Senator Wadsworth. Dr. Cadman in a sermon told what a fine man he was. But we will not give in." At the Women's Republican Club meeting Tuesday afternoon it was announced that Mrs. Wadsworth, wellknown as an anti-suffragist, had said that she held the machinery to disfranchise the women of New York State.

The appeal for the Federal Suffrage Amendment was made on the ground that universal suffrage should be placed beyond the power of any State to repeal the law. The euchre of the First Assembly District Republican Club, Woman's Division, tomorrow night, promises to become a county affair. A number of Assembly district organizations have taken tables, and tickets are at a premium. With so many districts left without Aldermen and in all the discussion of candidates for the vacancies, not one woman's name has been mentioned. Is it because no women are able to fill the positio nor has nobody thought of the possibility? Miss Margaret Quigley, assistant treasurer of the Madison Club and a telephone operator in the Surrogate's Court, is wondering whether she was the victim of a joke or not.

On April somebody called up asking for "Mr. Wills." She, not thinking, looked around and finally referred the inquirer to the probate department. Nobody would help her as they thought they were wise to a joke. Louis C. Wills of the Fourth A.

D. is a Republican candidate for Surrogate and might possibly have been at the office. Now was it a joke or not? The First Asembly District Republican Club is training its members for public speaking through its Monday night forums. A chairman is elected for each meeting to accustom the members to presiding. Mrs.

Mabel F. T. Falco presided at the last meeting. As many women as men take part in the forum and many who never before attempted public speaking give credit to the forum for the ability developed. Next Monday a Question Box will be inaugurated.

Each person puts in a question. Then each draws out a question and is given three minutes to speak upon it. An invitation is extended to all Republicans of the district to attend, whether or not members of the club. Mrs. R.

C. -Perkins, in speaking of the meeting held Tuesday evening at Kismet Temple, der the auspices of the Kings County Republican Committee, said: "I think the fact that both Lt. Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his wife spoke from the same platform marks new era in our political life. The day is coming when no man can run for office whose wife will not at least come out and show herself.

All the pollucians' wives may not be speakers, but unless they have faith enough in their husbands to back them up for office, how can they expect the rest of 18 to believe in their men folk Miss Mary D. Burton, a prominent suffragist and Republican, is chair. man for the Brooklyn Tag Day on Suturday for the New York State WomLand Army. The Red Cross Motor Corps rooms have been offered as headquarters for the tag girls and fifty or more girls in costume will go out to tag the citizens. Mrs.

Alice Par. ker Hutchins, a director for the suffrage party is acting with Miss Burton to make the day a success. The suffrage headquarters, 65 Flatbush will be the general headquarters for the day. Women's political meetines tonight: First A. D.

PARSON MAY HEAD WOOLWORTH STORES Company Officer and Late President's Friend Mentioned as Possible Successor. Hubert T. Parson. formerly of Brooklyn and well known here, is being mentioned as a likely candidate for the presidency of the F. W.

Woolworth Company, which position was left vacant by the recent death of F. W. Woolworth. Mr. Parson until the death of Carson C.

Peck several years ago was the secretary and treasurer of the F. W. Woolworth Company. At that time he became one of the vice presidents to succeed the late Charles C. Griswold.
