Bond New York London Paris BROOKLYN MUST PAY 65 PERCENT FOR THE CONEY BOARDWALK Board of Estimate Adopts Riegelmann's Map- Property Owners Pay Rest. Another definite step was taken by the Board of Estimate today toward the construction of a boardwalk along the oceanfront at Coney Island.

The Board' adopted the assessment map submitted by Boro President Riegelmann; according to which the entire cost of the improvement, which is estimated at from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000, will fall upon Brooklyn -65 percent on the boro at large and the remainder on property in the benefited area. The local assessment is divided into four zones- Zone extending 100 feet north of the high water line, will be assessed percent; Zone including the territory from that point to Surf percent; Zone embracing the area between Surf and Mermaid 5 and the district between Mermaid and Neptune 5 percent. A public hearing in the matter precedeavo Fesler, action who of the appeared Board. for the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber was in favor of the boardwalk, but stronglyl objected to an assessment by which Brooklyn would have to bear the entire cost of the improvement. He stated the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce felt that in all fairness the assessment.

should be spread over all the boros that will be benefitted. A discussion on the fairness of the assessment developed between Mr. Riegelman, Charles Heney, bathhouse proprietor, who told the board last that the construction of the boardwalk was the most piece of extravagance ever attempted by a city administration, for the reason that the ocean would surely demolish the promenade in at very short time and that. taore Heney was called no need President for it. Riegelmann "Ed." and the former responded addressing Mr.

Heney as 'Charley." "Now, said Mr. Heney, "you know perfectly well that this is not a fair assessment for this proposed board walk, which will do nobody any good. Manhattan certainly put one over on you." "Well, Charley, I did my best to get the assessment spread over all the boros, but it was no use." "Now, retorted Mr. Heney, "it. is certainly a fact that they fought for their boros better than you did for yours.

I don't see why Brooklyn all by itself should pay for an improvement that will be utilized by the people of the entire city. What I want to know is why Manhattan is not willing to stand a part of the cost." At this point Controller Craig remarked: "It was Manhattan that stood the greater part of the cost of the dual subway system which put Coney Island on the map. As a matter of fact, Manhattan pays five-eighths of all the taxes raised in Greater New The Civic Alliance of Coney Island was represented by a large delegation. who favored the improvement and were satisfied with the proposed assessment. But their spokesman asked for one reservation, namely, that the actual construction of the boardwalk be not undertaken until the land upon which it is to stand had been reclaimed and made secure against the agreed to this proposition.

The failure of the jury to find a verdict of not guilty was a keen disappointment to Dempsey and his lawyers, for they had confidently expectthat there would be a rapid acquittal, as in the cases of Thomas F.

Blewitt, the division superintendent, and Anthony E. Lewis, the crew dispatcher who drove the train that was wrecked while the regular motormen of the line were on strike. After the disagreement Dempsey released under $1,000 bail, which he gave at the time he was arraigned on the indictment handed down against him, He declined to make any comment on the failure of the jury to agree.

Commissioner Copeland requested all tenants whose apartments are not being properly heated to notify his office, Worth 9400, giving' information as to owner, temperature and address, and an inspector would see that the buildings were properly heated. The proper temperature inside an apartment, when it is 50 degrees or below outside, should be a minimum of 68 degrees. Many complaints from tenants came into the Commissioner's office this morning and he will investigate each. Some of the complaints were that there was no heat at all in their apartments, that radiators were stone cold. On the Bowery fewer derelicts applied to the.

Snowfall General in the East. Washington, Dec. 19-Snow was falling today over most of the Middle Atlantic States and the Ohio and the Upper Mississippi valleys, Reports of the Weather Bureau indicated that the fall would continue tonight and possibly tomorrow. The storm was expected to extend into New England during the day. The temperature: has moderated generally in the northern border States and in much of the country east of the Mississippi River, but readings remain much normal in the region of the Great Lakes, the Ohio Valley and Middle Atlantic and New England States.

5. After Foreman Raymond F. Almirall had finished reading the presentment, Justice Weeks said: "Do I derstand, Mr. Foreman, that the sole inspection of milk is made by individuals who are actually in the employ and pay of the distributors?" "That is our understanding, Your Honor," replied Mr. Almirall.

The presentment states that the Extraordinary Grand Jury in demising the charge of conspiracy against the distributors of milk finds no evidence whatsoever of any such conspiracy was presented by the District Attorney. "It further wishes to bring to your attention that the delay in making a final disposition of this charge is due solely to the action of the District Attorney in not advising the Grand Jury that he had completed presentation of the case," continued the presentment, "such information not having been given to the Grand Jury until request was made in writing by the Grand Jury on Dec. 10, 1919, for the final disposition of the matter, to which request the District Attorney replied on Dec. 12, 1919, that he had no other evidence in his possession in the milk inquiry." "It is obvious that the inspections of buildings, cattle and milk, required by the laws of the State and city, should be made by their permanent employees and paid for by the State and city in order that uniformity of inspections and control may be guaranteed."

BRIDGE CARS Whalen. Sees Profitable Investment and Submits Proposition to Estimate Board. Commissioner Grover A. Whalen at today's meeting of the Board of Estimate submitted a proposition that the city operate the local trolley service on the Williamsburg Bridge. He said: "The Williamsburg Bridge, including the trolley tracks and switches, terminals, conduits and electrical equipment, have been built entirely with city funds, and they are all the property of the city.

"The Bridge Operating Company, supplying only the cars and operating but about twenty cars on its local line, has carried over 13,000,000 passengers yearly, and has in the past made tremendously excessive profits upon relatively small investment in that local line. the part of the Bridge Operating Company has not carried a corresponding revenue to the city. The company is now operating under a temporary permit which expires May 31, 1920. "I submit the proposition now in orrder that consideration may be given to the matter of this operation and the purchase of the requisite number of cars, the making of the necessary contracts for power and the employment of the necessary operating force."

Mrs. Olga Berbom, her two children, Helen, 4, and baby, 2 days old, and the nurse, Miss Alice Sheridan, who were found dead yesterday in the Berbom home, at 8 Astor Court, Sheepshead Bay, were killed by gas.

That is the finding following topsy this morning. The gas heater near the door of the bedroom, burning all night in an unventilated was responsible, as the family physician, Dr. Goodfellow, said. Mrs. Rynild Berbom of Pelham Manor, N.

mother-in-law of Mrs. Olga Berbom, journeyed from her home at Pelham Manor to Sheepsheed Bay, yesterday. She went there in response to a message from her son Ragner who had left the family in good health on Wednesday to go to his ship lying at Pier 69, North River. Berbom asked his mother to go to the house with some extra blankets to prepare for the arrival of his sister Eva, who would join them for a Christmas reunion. She came in from Norway.

Mrs. Berbom arrived at the little court at noon. In her arms were the blankets, baby clothes for the -old infant and Christmas presents for all. She knocked at the front door with a light heart. No answer, The wind from the bay swept about the bungalow furiously, but within it was silent as the grave.

Wondering somewhat that they should all be asleep at that hour, she entered by a rear door and passed into the cozy about dining room. There she spent 15 minutes straightening out the chairs and arranging things after the manner of a woman. Then she passed into the bedroom. In the bed lay Mrs. Berbom, the child Helen and Miss Alice Sheridan, a graduate of the Bushwick Hospital, niece of Dr.

Joseph Sheridan of Richmond Hill, the nurse who had been in attendance on the mother. In a basinette beside the bed was the infant, who had seen just two days of this world. All lay naturally as if asleep. Grandmother Berbom laid down baby' clothes, the blankets and the presents and bent over the four. She called to them.

No response. She shook the women. The bodies fell back inertly. Then she noticed how pale they seemed and, greatly troubled, rushed to a window and screamed for help. The screams echoed through the court and brought George Hoey of 10 Astor Court, who summoned Policeman John Groth of the Sheepshead Bay Station.

Groth sent in a call for ambulances and two arrived in a hurry from Coney Island Hospital. Acid Theory Wrong. Soon there was a little knot of, persons in the bedroom. they. made sure that the two women, little girl and the baby were dead; that they had been dead about two nours.

But the cause of death was a mystery at first. An interne of the Coney Island Hospital thought, because of certain discolorations on the faces, that carbolic had been used. When Assistant District Attorney Reuben Wilson arrived it was found that a small gas heater had been left burning all night and that all the windows were closed. Dr. Eugene Goodfellow of 5708 14th Mrs.

Berbom's physician, who had brought her through the perils of childbirth and attended her during her illness, was called in, and he at once said it was evident that the gas heater had used up all the oxygen in the room and that the four had been suffocated. Dr. Goodfellow said today that the tragedy should teach householders under 10 circumstances to leave gas heaters burning in their homes all night. At 6:30 last evening, ignorant of the fearful thing that had taken place in his little home and joyful at the thought that the entire family would spend Yuletide in the old-fashioned Scandinavian way- and in all the world there is nothing like a Scandinavian Christmas Eve- -Ragner Berbom turned into Emmons a few rods from his home. Tightly clasped in his arms was the inevitable Christmas tree without which no Scandinavian Christmas Eve is perfect.

With him was the newly arrived sister, Eva. He was loaded down with gifts. He had a baby sweater, shoes and stockings for the little ones, a coat sweater for the mother. books and candy for the nurse, and two little dolls for the child, Helen; also some ribbon for her hair. The sister, too, was loaded down with gifts.

It was to be the first time that Santa had come to the bungalow on Astor court, for the Berboms moved there on Monday last. Berbom grinned at his sister and set the tree down in a narrow alley. He. wanted to surprise little Helen. Then he prepared to tiptoe up to the snug home.

But when -a neighbor met him and told him his wife had been taken suddenly ill all the light went out of his eyes and he grew old and careworn in a moment. His mother, they told him, was at 17 Astor Court, and he went to her. When the news was broken to him the strong man of the sea dropped like a log in a faint, as if a stroke of lightning had felled him. When he recovered all he could do was to go over and over the things he had bought and point to them, while the tears rained down his -beaten cheeks. The Yuletree stands deserted in the alley in the sweep of the winter wind.

It was never meant to bear either cornucopia or red apple. But the white of the snow is on its branches--snow as white as the souls of good people. Perhaps it is an omen. DR. MASCOLA FINED $25.

Dr. Defina P. Mascola, 29, of 231 N. 7th was fined $25 by Magistrate Brown in the Williamsburg court today, on a charge of reckless driving on Dec. 15.

Prior to his arraignment Dr. Mascola attended Bella, the 18-month-old daughter of Joseph Glickman of 116 Varet who was held in $5,000 bail charged with criminally assaulting two of his own children.

PLANS FIGHT TO MAKE DEMOCRATS DISGORGE $2,500 JOB Verbal Broadsides Fired Over Effort to Keep Allen in Register's Office.

An interesting session was promised today by Republican leaders the meeting of the State Civil Service Commission called for next Monday afternoon at the Singer Building, Manhattan, on the Democratic attempt to nail Edward I. Allen, official stenographer of the Kings County Democratic organization, into his $2,500 job Assistant Deputy Register. John McCooey, Democraitc leader of Brooklyn; Register Richardson Webster, maker of the application, whose offictal term of office expires on Doc. 31, and other prominent Democrats, whose identity were not disclosed, are slated to be served with subpenas to appear as witnesses at the hearing, it was said. The Brooklyn Republican Or organization, which is up arms over what it hails as the beginning of a wholesale raid on the exempt patronage of the Register's and Sheriff's offices, both of which fell into Republican at the last election, will be represented by Harry F.

That any other applications are to nemed today by Register Webster, who said he had given surance Commission to that in effect Albany on before the Tuesday State at the original hearing which was postponed. Webster also denied that the application was in the nature of a raid or the beginning of a raid and then indicated that if the Democrats were in a mood for reprisals they had plenty of precedent for the action in similar moves successfully made and carried out by the Republicans in years past. "Our precedent on which the present action is based," he said. "is that of Michael J. Wheeler, former Republican leader in the 3d A.

and the present warden of the Grand Jury. The position of warden was formerly part of the patronage of the County Court and Wheeler was appointed by a Republican majority of the Board of County Court Judges. When the Republicans lost control of the Board a few years ago, before going out of office, they made application to the State Civil Service Commission, then Republican, to have Wheeler covered in his position by taking it out of the exempt and putting it into the list, which was done." Chief among other exhibits in the Den ocratic "Chamber of Horrors" is the action of former Controller Prendergast, a Republican, in putting practically the patronage of the City Finance Department under classifled civil service just before the Mitchel administration went out of power. Jacob A. Livingston, "the Brooklyn Republican leader, gave out a twopage typewritten statement today taining a few pertinent thoughts.

on the situation with particular reference to Democratic "welching." After stating that the people repudiated the present Democratic administration of the Register's office at the last election, he calls attention to the fact that the position of Assistant Deputy Register, which it is now proposed to put in the classified list, has been in the exempt class for the past 19 or 20 vears, and added: "It has been generally known for the last two years that Mr. Webster would not move politically or officially without the consent of the Democratic leader, SO it is fair to assume that Mr. McCooey gave orders before his sojourn to the City Chamberlain's estate for the retention of assistant deputy, Mr. Allen." Asked whether he had made the application on his own initiative or at the direction of County Leader McCooey and the organization, Register Webster replied that he couldn't exfactly recall. "The matter was discussed for some months, even before election," he declared.

"I don't recall who first made the suggestion." MARTENS HEARING PUT OVER Deputy Attorney General Berger today asked Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum to extend time of service until Monday on his orders, returnable today, to Ludwig C. A. K.

WOMEN DISCUSS FARMING Farming as a profession for women was the topic discussed at the monthly meeting of the Branch Alliance of the Second Unitarian Society, held at the church, Clinton and Congress this morning. Miss Hilda Loines, a director of the Woman's Land Army, gave her address on "Women in Agriculture," after the business meeting of the organization was held. COMPROMISE PLAN IN TREATY FIGHT IS GAINING GROUND Taft Takes Hand-Offers Mild Reservationists Idea for BiPartisan Agreement. Washington, Dec, 19-On the eve of the expected holiday recess, the movement in the Senate for a Peace Treaty compromise apparently was gaining ground today, with plans taking shape for a conference early next month between Republicans and Democrats, who want ratification. It was that neither Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, nor Senator Hitchcock, in charge of the Administration forces in the Treaty fight, would be a direct party to the original negotiations, although later it was hoped both could be brought in.

Former President Taft has reopened communication with the mild reservation Republicans and is understood to have made suggestions along the line of such a bi-partisan agreement. Democratic Senators also have heard from W. J. Bryan, who is said to have approved the compromise conference BE plan. The only possibility that any compromise suggestion will approach the stage of formal action before the recess lies with the Foreign Relations Committee, which will meet tomorrow to consider the resolution of Senator Knox, Republican, Pennsylvania, to declare a state of said today that it probably would be altered by the committee, several other resolutions introduced by the Pennsylvania Senator being used as a basis of discussion in drafting a composite measure that the Republican leaders later might present as a compromise.

It generally was believed, however, that there would be no effort to get Senate action until after the holidays.

The two remaining members, GOLDMAN TO RENEW FIGHT ON MONDAY Efforts to reopen legal proceedings to prevent Emma Goldman's deportation will be made unless she is sent out of the country by Monday, Harry Weinberger, her counsel, declared today. John W. Abercrombie, Assistant Secretary of Labor, and Anthony Caminetti, Commissioner General of Immigration, Weinberger said, told him last week that Miss Goldman and Alexander Berkman would be I deported within 10 days, and it was upon this assurance, he asserted, that he withdrew an appeal to the Supreme Court from a decision of the Federal Court in New York against Miss Goldman. The ten days' period expires tomorrow. Orders, wrapped in secrecy, have arrived at Ellis Island and the lid of the censorship which hides movements in the "First Soviet of America" is clamped down tight today.

The acting Commissioner of Immigration is laying out bedding for the arrival of a trainload of anarchists from Pittsburg tonight. They will be put in the "red room." Whether deportations would begin on a big scale today was suppressed by the Island censor. While Mr. Uhl admits that certain orders for deportation have arrived, Superintendent Baker admits that he would say nothing about them, even if they had. Harry Weinberger, counsel for Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, said he had not been notified of a that the Government had a promised to move to deport his wards today, but notify him when their boat sailed.

Eighteen bewhiskered and boiling radicals are being kept "incommunicado" on Ellis Island. They are among those who bowled across the Continent on the Red Special. Superintendent Baker did say' today that Miss Goldman and Berkman might have a guard of honor, made up from the ranks of the Commune, to escort them on their voyage for Russia. It would be very small, he hastened to add. The lid of secrecy which is clamped down on the simmering melting American radicalism now located on Ellis Island shut out reporters for the first time in many moons from the little ferryboat that chugs to and from the Island.

With all baggage packed and all desperately stoking up the human engine with Governmental foodstuffs, the Russian wing of the Commune is apparently expecting to embark within a day or two. ONE ARREST MADE IN BASSETT HOLDUP One of the three gunmen who the police say was implicated in the holdup last Saturday morning of Adolph Bassett, of 930 Madison paymaster for a Greenpoint manufacturing concern, who was robbed of more than $2,000, was arrested last night by Detectives Sweeney and Devery of the Greenpoint ave. police' station.

Armellino has been in police before, Detective Sweeney declared, The detective stated that the police will have all the highwaymen in custody wtihin the next 24 hours.
