Interment Cemetery, SEAMEN STRIKERS DISSATISFIED BY WAGE RAISE OFFER Shipping Board Refuses 8-Hour Day for Deck Hands Men Stirred.

seamen's strike called last Thursday is far from settled, according to high union leaders who viewed with keen disappointment a decision reached by Board officials in a special held yesterday at Shipping, Washington wherein it was decided to a 10 per cent. wage increase grant, departments of the marine workers. The strike, originally called in the interest of engine room crews of coastwise vessels, has virtually been taken in hand by the fremen, oilers, sailors and steward's department of all ships, whether coastwise or transatlantic. The demands are for $15 a month increase in wages and eight-hour day for the deck crew. The closed shop clause also is included, although union officials are said to favor mitigation of this in view of unusual circumstances which would work a hardship on American citizens who wish to follow seafaring.

Oscar Carlson, secretary of the New York local, Marine Firemen, Oilers and Watertenders Union, said the crews of all American ships arriving in Atlantic or Gulf ports were quitting. He sums up the situation by saying 250 ships are now idle in New York. It is estimated that 50.000 men will walk out of Shipping Board vessels, while some 60,000 additional boatmen, 'longshoremen and other shipworkers will be idle as a result. The private owners, said to represent threefourths of transoceanic shipping, are expected to lose an equal number of men. In telegrams sent to Oscar Carlson, H.

P. Griffin, Gustav Brown and Percy Pryor, representing the unions, the Shipping Board grants a wage scale for all departments as follows: Deck department, $10 flat increase for all positions except that or of boatswain, which shall be $90. Ordinary seamen will receive $60 and boys in training $40. This means that ablebodied seamen would receive $85, while quartermasters and stationmen would receive $87.50. In the engineroom, $10 flat increase is granted for each position, giving watertenders $90 a month, oilers $85 and firemen $80.

Stewards and chief cooks are advanced $15, while waiters, cabin men and galley helpers are given a $10 flat increase. Consideration of the eight-hour day for deck hands except in port is denied on the ground that it would increase the size of the crew at a time when a shortage of sailors is acute. This is said by union officials to be a serious omission on the Shipping Board's part, as the sailors have long demanded a three-watch schedule conforming to that granted the "below deck" department several years ago. Sailors now work twelve hours one day and fourteen the next while at sea, and do not look with favor on a system which grants their shipmates in the engine room an eighthour day divided into four -hour shifts. Embodied in the telegram sent to Oscar Carlson by the Shipping Board is a conclusive statement to the effect that all striking marine workers are expected return to work at once.

The tone for the message is regarded by union officials as peremptory and not showing a clear understanding of the demands. That it is not favorably received either by union leaders or the men themselves is shown by the large number idle and abandoned ships along New York's entire waterfront. Approximately thirty-six ships at the Brooklyn docks are waiting for a chance to leave, while in most instances all loading or discharging is being done from stationary engines on the wharves, as no engine room crews are available to get up steam for the ship's winches.

CAMPBELL "THE FUNERAL CHURCH" (Non -Sectarian) B'way at 66th Manhattan Downtown Office, 23d At 8th Av Where Was Boro Head When Brooklyn Lost Free Piers? "Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: "I have been much interested In your articles showing how Brooklyn has lost the $25.000.000 piers in Jamaica Bay because the Sinking Fund Commission failed to take action on it.

The members of that commission certainly gave a shameful exhibition of official neglect and indifference to public needs. "But in your articles I saw no reference to Borough President Riegelmann and the part he played in this fiasco. Surely he must have done something: surely he must have been alive to the situation and made some GAYNOR REFUSES DEMAND TO RETIRE Eastern District Republicans Claim Hobley Is Trying to Oust His as Leader. A demand that Alderman John S. Gaynor retire as Republican leader in Fourth Assembly District as a preliminary to any harmony between the rival Republican factions in the district has been indignantly rejected by the Gaynor men.

Eastern District Republicans see in it another evidence of a desire on the part of former Deputy Sheriff Alfred T. Hobley and his followers in the Congress Club to convert Gaynor's ambition to land a nomination as Register on the Republican county ticket this fall into a boomerang which will knock his oldtime opponent out of the leadership. They have already succeeded, it is claimed, in alienating several elements of Gaynor's support. One of these are the friends of Louis C. Wills, the Eastern District lawyer, is being boomed for Surrogate ancho has been indorsed for that nomination by the Gaynor Club, but who is evidently now to be sidetracked in favor of Gaynor.

The Gaynor Club went on record in favor of the present leader for a county nomination at the last meeting. Another element of his former followers whom Gaynor is in danger of losing, if he has not already done so, by his eagerness to enter into negotiations with Hobley, are the Republicans who voted for Gaynor simply because of their jection to a continuance of the Hobley leadership, These men, it is claimed, have become disgusted and will refrain from voting in a leadership fight. As a result of the demand for Gaynor's withdrawal the first conference of the "harmony" committees appointed by the factions which was held at the Congress Club, Saturday night, came to naught. On the Gaynor committee were Stewart Engel, T. W.

Mosser, William J. Cox, John Helfrich and William Miles. On the Hobley committee were Alfred T. Hobley, Simon May, John J. Brennan, Benjamin F.

Schwartz and Orion B. White. Another meeting of the would-be harmonizers will take place tonight. SOUTHERN BANKER SUICIDE Louis H. Moss, New Orleans banker.

was found dead in his room at Brevoort Hotel, Fifth ave. and Eighth Manhattan, yesterday morning. Suicide by shooting himself through the head was the cause of his death. In a letter left for P. E.

Ettman, 2245 Emmons Sheepshead Bay, his brother-in-law, Mr. Moss explained that he was going to kill himself because he had had a nervous breakdown which, he believed, had left him an incurable invalid. He said he did not want to live an invalid. A similar explanation was left in a letter for his wife, Mrs. Beulah Ettman Moss, 1727 Napoleon New Orleans.

Mr. Ettman said that his brotherin-law had made an engagement to have dinner at his home in Sheepshead Bay Sunday, and when he failed to had started an tion. compute resulted in the finding of investigathe body. "TRY YOUNG Norway Point, Lake of Bays, July 13-The Rev. Dr.

S. Edward Young of the Bedford a Presbyterian Brooklyn, speaking today in Churches of a series of Union Protestant services, urged that Canadians demand the trial and the execution of the former German Kaiser. "The Kaiser is seven million times a murderer," he declared, "try and him. A private individual guilty of one seven Kaiser's crimes would be put to death, why spare him Dr. Young based his sermon on the text "Whoso Sheddeth Man's Blood, By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed." He said that failure to punish the Kaiser would be recognizing the ancient claim of the divine right of kings, and that it was a fallacy to withhold punishment, fearing to embitter Germany.

He said Germany could not be made more bitter than she is now. ADMIRAL BLUE TO RETIRE Washington, July 14-Rear Admiral Victor Blue, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, who has been ill several months, has been recommended for retirement by a board of naval medical officers. Secretary Daniels announced today that Admiral Blue's successor would be named as soon as President Wilson had approved the recommendation.

A native of North Carolina, he was appointel to the Naval Academy from South Carolina in 1883, and was advanced five numbers in rank for extraordinary heroism in the SpanishAmerican War.

Three persons, one of them a Brooklynite, were drowned yesterday when an automobile operated by Mrs. Irene Ganong of 780 79th st.

smashed through a rail fence and into 12 feet of water in Lake, two miles from Ossining, Echo, Earl Ganong, 30, of the driver of the car; his sister-in-law. Mrs. Wallace Ganong, 24, of Lake Mahopac, and her son, Kenneth, four years old, were held underneath the car and drowned. Mrs. Irene Ganong came to the surface.

Mr. Ganong came to the surface once, but disappeared, while, it is believed, he attempted to save the others. While the car was rolling down a hill along the snore of Echo Lake at about 6:30 o'clock, Ganong reached over to take the wheel and assist his wife in making the turn. It is believed that as he did so he operated the gas throttle and fed an excess of gas to the engine. This caused the car to burst ahead through the fence and into the water.

When Mrs. Ganong crawled from under the car to the shore she ran the home of a John Cook. He and to the several neighbors succeeded in getting bodies from under the wrecked car. According to the story told to Coroner W. W.

Mills the party left the home of Mr. Ganong's father, Chester Ganong, a well-to-do merchant of Lake Mahopac, at daybreak bound for Brooklyn. Mr. Ganong drove until they reached Millwood, a mile from Echo Lake, where he complained of feeling ill and gave the wheel to his wife. Mr.

and Mrs. Ganong, according to people who live near their Bay Ridge home, had closed up their house on the morning of July 4 and had set out for a tour of the State. The Ganongs are not well-known in the neighborhood; they have only lived there since October. Ganong was a clerk in the Central Trust Company of 80 Broadway, Manhattan. When the Ganongs departed in their car they left their 11-year-old son, Victor, to spend his with Ganong's father at Lake Mahopac." Motor Truck Hits Car Coming From Coney Island.

When this letter was shown to Borough President Riegelmann he said: "I have nothing to say." RIDING SCHOOL PLAN STIRS OCEAN P'KWAY One Property Owner Sues to Enjoin Vogt From Building It. A vigorous legal battle against the new Bedford Riding Academy which Adolph Vogt, Brooklyn's pioneer riding master, proposes to erect at 11-27 Parkway, was begun in the Supreme Court today when William Hartfield, neighboring property owner, applied to Justice Kelby for an injunction on the theory that the "horse rink" will constitute not only a nuisance but also a violation of the zoning law. The proposed riding academy, according to the plans which have been filed, will be a gorgeous affair, if it survives the injunction action. It will have a frontage of almost 100 feet and will be fitted up with observation balconies, tea parlors and various other requisites of a gathering place for society. Vogt's lawyers, Heidenreich Arkwright, opposed the granting of an injunction and charged that the real interest in the injunction proceeding belonged to Gus Stelle, who for some time has conducted a riding academy on Caton just back where Vogt wants to put his new establishment.

Charles S. Aronstam, attorney for Mr. Hartfield, told Justice Kelby that the mere fact Mr. Stelle might be interested in the outcome of this proceeding was no reason why Vogt should be allowed to violate the rules and regulations which Stelle observes, as his academy is on unrestricted territory. Vogt explained today that since the heavy automobile traffic made Bedford ave.

dangerous for riding, he had planned to locate his academy near the head of Ocean Parkway and had acquired the property for that purpose, as it gives direct access to the bridle path to Coney Island. The work of construction has not yet been started, Mr. Aronstam told the court, and his client was taking action at once so as not to inflict unnecessary hardship on the defendants. He urged that as a number of horses will be maintained on the premises inost of the day the proposed establishment would clearly come under the ban which restriction covenants level against "stables." Justice Kelby reserved decision. SIR PERCY SANDERSON DIES London, July 14-Sir Percy Sanderson, British Consul General at New York from 1894 to 1907, died at his home in Reading today.

Sir Pency Sanderson was born in London, July 7, 1842, and entered the Indian Army in 1859. Retiring on half pay in 1870, he entered the British Consular Service and was stationed in Rumania. Appointed Consul General in New York in 1894, Sir Percy received the jubilee medal in 1897 and was made Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George in 1899.

When he left his post in New York in 1907 he retired on a pension. In 1915 he was chosen Justice of the Peace for Reading. Sir Percy never married. TO PROBE HAMBY'S SANITY (Special to The Eagle.)

Upward of 10,000 volunteer workers throughout Brooklyn and Queens began today the task of raising $500,000 for the Knights of Columbus Community Drive in the two boroughs. The drive actually opened yesterday with the meeting in Prospect Park, an account of which appears in other columns of The Eagle today, The collection of money, however, did not start until today.

erally oversubscribed. WE If any home in Brooklyh or Queens is not visited by that time it will not be the fault of the canvassers. The two boroughs have been divided into 110 districts, each in charge of a chairman, and the districts in turn have been subdivided into smaller divisions in charge of captains. Each captain is in charge of a team of ten or more workers, who will make a house-tohouse canvass of the territory assigned them. To save the boys from' the street corner environment which surrounds them in the big city, is the object behind the K.

of C. effort, James E. Finegan, president of the Knights of Columbus Social Service, declared today. It is the Knights of Columbus Social Service, which is in charge of the drive. "In the brief existence of the Children's Court," he said, "over 192,000 boys under the age of 16 years have been arraigned for juvenile delinquencies and a large proportion of them committed to correctional institutions.

To commit the boys to institutions does not reform them, but, on the contrary, it oftimes makes a criminal because of the association of boys who might be led right with those who have natural criminal instincts." The first step in the wrongdoing of the boys who turn up in the Children's Courts may almost invariably be traced to the street corners, Mr. Finegan declared. It is here that the remedial work to correct the situation should he contends. This is the problem' which the Long Island Chapter of the Knights of Columbus, fresh from a big record of achievement in the wartime social work in cantonments in America and on the battlefields of France, have undertaken. In order to carry it out they have formed the K.

of C. Social Service. It is the purpose of this organization to establish ten or more community centers to which boys under 21 will be encouraged to go for the use of their facilities as recreational centers and for physical training. The facilities of the buildings will be open without charge to any boys of the neighborhood regardless of their religious denomination. The Boy Scouts will be welcomed to them and civic organizations will be invited to use the meeting-rooms.
