Baseball playing and paper throwing in Prospect Park yesterday cost more than $1,000 to 111 prisoners who were taken before Magistrate Reynolds in the Flatbush court today. In all but twenty cases the fenders were fined $10 each, and those who did not pay were either sent to jail or held In $500 bail for examination. So troublesome have many of the Sunday visitors to the park been since the warm weather gripped the city that a conference was held in the court today between Magistrate Reynolds, Police Inspector Hugbes and Secretary Thomas F. Reilly of the Department of with 3 view of establishing some means by which the situation can be handled. The outcome of the conference furnished the opinion that it will be necessary to make several changes in the city ordinance.

All agreed that the dine of $10 for offenses, which is the maximum, should be increased to $25, and, further, that an amendment should be made prohibiting the carrying of newspapers Or other reading matter into park on Sundays of Sundays, and making it an offense punishable by arrest. Yesterday's Haul by Police Largest in Park's History. The haul of the police yesterday was the largest since the park was thrown to the public, and quite upset the open calculations of Magistrate Reynolds, who believed that his dealing with such offenders in past would be a lesson to those in future. While 111 were thee gathered in the police net, Inspector Hughes stated that as many more should have been arrested, but the lack of police and available patrol wagons made It impossible to pick up all of the guilty ones. A squad of twenty plain clothes men, under Inspector Hughes, the regular Prospect Park police force and some twenty-five or more uniformed men from of the borough, various, station, houses, was called upon to handle the situation.

From as early 10 o'clock in the morning up until as after the band concert, four patrol were rushing here and there wagons in prisoners, while every few gathering minutes a bluecoat or a detective was seen making an arrest. Baseball players the main playgrounds were the chief offenders. Many of the men arrested were engaging in the sport with those of the opposite sex. but the latter were not arrested. Had the police stopped to gather in the women it is a question if the work of the guardians of the law would have ever finished.

When the day broke over the pretty stretch of land this morning a detail of men were at work making efforts to lean up rubbish that was left by the Sunday visitors and which furnished the most disgraceful scene that has ever been witnessed in the big inclosure. Twentyfive big bags of rubbish, including papers. in charge of the work made it known the park would not look as it should fruit skins and other bits of food, what was gathered up before noon. Those that until probably the middle of the week. Of all those who swarmed the Flatbush court house today, there was only one woman among the ones who had been called to answer before the magistrate.

She was arrested in the park for pedIdling candy without a license, as was three of the male offenders. Ten of the baseball players pleaded not guilty when questioned by Magistrate Reynolds and they were each held in $500 bail, and will be given a hearing Wednesday morning. When the list of prisoners had been checked up it was found that four had not made an appearance in the court, and in each case a warrant was issued for the arrest of the person. The four had been bailed out night and should they fail to be located by the warrant server their bonds will be forfeited. Majority the Offenders.

The 111 included men of every nationality and most of them gave Manhattan addresses. Two court interpreters were kept busy exchanging answers with the court and the prisoners all morning and in some cases it was very difficult to handle the conversation. Some added fines were collected. the offenders being of a different class. Three automobilists were Aned $25 each for speeding through the park during the afternoon, while $28 in fines was collected from machine owners who failed to have lights on their cars.

Peddlers cashed in $15 to the court. DEATHS. RAYNOR -Brethren of Orion, Lodge No. 717, F. and A.

Hulse Upholds Dr. Pease. An indication of the bitter warfare that will be waged in the offices of the Public Service Commission on Wednesday at 10:30 o'clock, when a public hearing will largely decide whether or not smoking of tobacco be allowed on trolley cars, was reflected today in two letters received by The Eagle. One said the agitation was prompted by of those fanatical organizations which spring up ilke mushrooms to deprive American citizen of his rights," and the other recited that the action came from a physician "heroic enough to bear testimony to the awfully destructive tobacco habit." In opposing any move which would bar smoking on the rear seats of open cars or the rear platform of closed cars, Eugene R. Cragg of 482 Lafayette avenue has a remedy for men like Dr.

Charles G. Pease, who is the leader in the nonsmoking agitation. told: a citizen who complained of Gaynor the cold- once "Let him do what Mayor ness in the cars in winter," writes Mr. Cragg. 'Do not use them, but SAID HE WAS GUILTY TO ESCAPE TRIAL Max Gottlieb Tells Judge He Feared Long Delay in Facing Court.

NOW DECLARES INNOCENCE. Many Are Sentenced by County Court Judges--Hard for Toters." When Max Gottlieb, 20 years old, of 441 Rockaway avenue, was arraigned for sen-, tence before Judge Tiernan in the County Court today, he assured the judge that he did not commit the crime with which he was charged, although he had pleaded guilty to it. When pressed by the judge for a reason for pleading guilty, he stated that he thought be would be able to get out sooner to see his mother. Gottlieb had been indicted for burglary in the third degree and for receiving stolen property. The charge was that he on had entered the home of Bella Brown on May 18 and stolen a watch and chain valued at $40.

He was arrested some time after the property was stolen by Officer Joseph A. Donelon. thought 1 would be sent away for thirty days or three months it I pleaded guilty, and then all the trouble would be over with. But if I pleaded not guilty I would have to wait a long time for trial and then if I was convicted I would be sent away for a long time. But I didn't have anything to do with the stolen goods," sald Gottlieb.

"Max, neither I nor anyone else wants you to plead guilty if you are innocent. I'm going to let you withdraw your plea of guilty and plead not on guilty. Then you can stand trial. The man's brother went on his bond for $1,000. His case will be placed on trial this week.

"Gun Toters" Given Jail Sentences. "Two weeks ago in court I gave notice," said County Judge Fawcett today to the first man to face him for sentence, "that thereafter all gun toterg who came before me might expect prison sentences instead of fines. As a notice to all other gun toters in the community, Charles Rosen, I sentence you to six months in the penitentiary for carrying a dangerous weapon." Upon James Maroney, a gun carrier, guilty of attempted assault in the first degree, but who also is a gun toter, he imposed a sentence of two aud a half to five years in Sing Sing. Judge Dike sent Louis Addo to Elmira for receiving stolen goods; Walter Kearns to Hart's Island for petty larceny; Eddard Gilroy to the penitentiary for one year for attempting burglary in the third degree: David Morgenstein and Alfred Wolloser to Elmira for attempted burglary in the second degree. He suspended sentence upon John Mishlock, guilty of unlawful entry, and upon James Conboy, guilty of petit larceny.

Judge Fawcett sent William Blanch to Elmira for robbery in the third degree; Florence Walker to Auburn for four years and six months for grand larceny in the second degree; Charles Rosen to the penitentiary for six months for carrying a dangerous weapon; James Maroney to Sing Sing for from two and one-balf to five years for attempted assault in the first degree, and Joseph Grimaldi to Sing Sing for from seven and a halt to fifteen years for blackmail. Judge Stratton sent Solomon Forsichbaum to Elmira for attempted burglary in the second degree; Guiseppe Vaccaro to the penitentiary for three months for carrying a dangerous weapon; Jacob Sherman to the penitentiary for one year for unlawful entry. He suspended sentence upon Joseph Guttelman, guilty of perJury. Judge Tiernan sent Antonio De Sautes to Elmira for grand larceny in the second degree. and Frank Reynolds to Sing Sing for from two to six years for grand larceny in the second degree.

He suspended sentence on Peter Tiebert, guilty of assault in the second degree, and upon Frank Curren, guilty of assault in the third degree. WHAT JESUS WOULD DO. Canon Chase Says Saviour, if on Earth, Would Favor Governor's Appeal. "Would Jesus, if He were to return to earth as an incarnated citizen of New York, assist Governor Sulzer in securing a State- Primary Law?" This was the subject which Canon Chase took for his sermon at Christ Church on Bedford avenue, yesterday morning. He chose as his text Matthew xxvii: 37: "They set up over his head his accusation.

written, 'This is Jesus the King of the Canon Chase cited the invitation for Jesus to become king, which he declined, the accusation of the enemies of Jesus and His claim to be the Messiah whom the Jews expected as among many evidences that Jesus wag concerned in the social and political questiong of the day. He said: "It is evident, therefore, If Jesus were a citizen of New York that He would feet the full responsibility of His citizenship. "If the Governor of the State asked Him to exercise His influence in such a way as to encourage Legislators to enact a' law which he sald would promote justice and righteousness among men, Jesus would heed the Governor's appeal and do whatever His conscience, after careful investigation and consideration, impelled him to do," ELLISON ATTACKS CITY EXTRAVAGANCE Cost Has Increased 110 Per Cent. Since Consolidation. POPULATION INCREASE, 50 P.C.

Property in Kings, Queens and Bronx Already Assessed Far in Excess of Selling Value, He Says. The enormous increase in the current expenses of the municipal government of the City of New York was the keynote of an address delivered this afternoon by former Corporation Counsel William B. Ellison at a luncheon given at the Hotel St. Dents, Manhattan. Mr.

Ellison predicated his facts upon muncipal statistics and the knowledge and experience he gained as the legal adviser of the city during part of the McClellan administration. Other speakers were Bishop Luther Wilson, D.D., of the M. E. Church, land Rabbi M. H.

Harris, D.D., of Temple Israel. "Our Civic Needs" was the topic to which all the speakers confined their marks. Since the consolidation into the greater city, Mr. Ellison pointed out, sixteen budgets to the annual expense of the city government have been prepared by the Board of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen. The first.

in 1898, totaled $77,473,084. Each succeeding year has seen an increase, and last year, when the budget was approved, it totaled 1709,342, an increase of $115,236,258 in fourteen years. The population in 1900 was 3,437,202, and Mr. Ellison estimates it has grown to 5,173,0664. Population Increased 50 Per Expense, 100 Per Cent.

"The increase in the budget," said Mr. Ellison, "has been entirely out of proportion to the growth of the population of the city. Thus, in 1913, inhabitants in number 50 per cent greater than in 1900, must bear an expense of government increased by 110 per cent. since that year. "The debts of New York City has grown, not in proportion to its population, but in proportion to its budget." The city debt in 1898, Mr.

Ellison said, was $341,844,225. In 1912 it was 093. 'These figures," Mr. Ellison continued, "show that between December 31, 1898, and January 1, 1913, the funded debt had increased by $795,247,579, or by a third more than double its total when consolidation became effective. These totals do not include general fund bonds, special revenue bouds and revenue The total assessed valuation of real and personal property in 1897 was 882,815,082.

In 1912 this had grown to $8.204,862,430, and increase in fifteen years of $5,422.047.348. Mr. Ellison continued: Property Already Assessed Far in Excess of Selling Value. "From the foregoing, it is apparent that 110 further increase in the taxable values of our real estate is possible at present, Indeed, in the districts made up of small homes such as large portions vi the boroughs of Kings, Queens and the Bronx, property is already assessed al prices far in excess of its saleable value. "In the face of these facts, can there be any doubt that the city must retrench and economize; and, if I may express my individual opinion, with the strictest economy, it will take us at least four years to recover from our extravagances.

"The charter commissioners assumed that consolidation, with Its attendant reduction in offices and salaries, would effect a saving of about $7,000,000, leaving the expenses of the whole city at about $60,000,000. This was in 1897. Instead of actually accomplishing a saving, the expenses of our city have been allowed to reach approximately $193,000,000, and the end is not yet. "The cause is not difficult to discover, the fact being that we have undertaken too many expensive projects, and many of those so undertaken have been extravagantly carried into effect. "It is now understood that 250,000,000 of gallons of water obtained from the Catskill supply are to be distributed in the boroughs of Kings and Queens, with possibly some later to Richmond.

This amount 1s about one-half of the whole supply to be obtained from that sourcein other words, the new aqueduct is to provide us with about 500,000,000 of gallons of water per day (in addition to our present supply) at a total cost of approximately $200,000,000, and of which about one-half is to be given to the boroughs of Kings and Queens, and this is to be brought, with all of its attendant expense and difficulty, from the far distant Ashokan Dam in Ulster County. "What must be said of such a project when we recollect that in Suffolk County, closely contiguous to Kings and Queens counties, there is a supply of water of absolute purity and readily obtainable at a minimum cost? The supply at Suffolk County could have been made to furnish, under the simplest conditions, more than sufficient to provide for all of the communities of Kings, Queens and Richmond for. years and years to come. I think a fair estimate of the cose of bringing the Suffolk county water into New York would not have exceeded $47,900,000. The proceedings to secure the land necessary for the Catskill supply, Mr.

Edison characterized as extravagant and unreasonable. Instead of having commission appointed for each county in which land was to be taken he said the municipal authorities had separate commissions named for comparatively small pieces of property and these commissions appointed a small army of clerks. He said that this course was fine patronage for political purposes but the city suffered. Problem of Economy Is Quite Serious, "The city government," he continued, "can never be managed as closely as a privae business or perhaps as I should say, it is not fair to expect that it ever will be. Men have not the direct selfish interest in the affairs of the municipality that efficiency they of have the in various their City own.

Departments But the de can be increased very greatly and with a higher civic spirit abroad, much can undoubtedly be accomplished." Mr. Ellison likened the city to a private individual who wishes to economize. He cuts down his ordinary expenses and refrains from saddling himself with new ones. How far the city should go in this direction is one, Mr. Ellison said, of the grave questions of municipal government.

Speaking of the annual budget, the power of the city to reduce it. Mr. Ellison said, was comparatively limited. Danger Lurks Behind Lavisn Issue of Loug-Term Bonds. Referring to long-term bond issues, Mr.

Ellison said: is a real danger lurking behind the lavish issue of these obligations or at least some of them, and particularly of long -term corporate stock. Money is borrowed on corporate stock, the principal of which oftentimes does not become due for fifty years. The interest and a sum sufficient to amortize the principal at maturity only being included in the budget, 50 that it is not seriously felt at the time, but in the end really amounts to the full sum borrowed, with interest for fifty years." Mr. Ellison also spoke of assessment bonds sold by the elty to raise money to pay for the paving of streets and the installation of sewers. "The result is." he said, "that when assessment bonds become due many of them are not paid from the collection of assessments, but are refunded by the issue of new assessment bonds, which thus keep increasing, and undoubtedly must eveutually be paid off by an issue of corporate stock, as has been done in the past." question of exempting property, as churches and charitable institutions, from taxation, according to Ellison, 1s also a serious one.

"The amount of exempt property owned by the United States is approximately $66,000,000: owned by the State of New York, $1,000,000, and owned by the City of New York, $1,355,000,000, continued the speaker, "Many persons believe that the exemption of property has been carried altogether too far and that it be abolished entirely, or at least reduced. would result in a very material reduction of the taxes on other real esstate which is not exempt. Some of this real estate has also been exempted from assessments for local improvements. These exemptions practically allow the owners to buy and sell read estate, holding it in the mean time without the payment of taxes or assessments." New York City Pays More Than Half Cost of State Government. Mr.

Ellison criticized the law which compelled the city to pay half of the millions collected as taxes upon mortgages and the sale of liquor into the State Treasury. "These conditions," he said, "are bad enough, but how much worse do they appear when we take into consideration that the City of New York contributes, in addition thereto, to the State Government, much more than one-half of the latter's expenses and cost of maintenance. "And now in conclusion, let me say, and it has been my effort to show to you: First, that we must go very slowly, indeed, in the making of further public 1m- provements; second, that we must, so far las possible, economize in the administration of our present affairs, and, third, we must obtain fair treatment at Albany, So that we may secure the revenues that rightfully belong to us." There were seventy-five men at the It was stated that most of those who actively participated were for District Attorney Whitman for Mayor. Some of those present thought Mr. Ellison himself was good mayoralty timber.

Mr. Ellison declined at this time to discuss the question whether he was a candidate or not. DR. CADMAN IS SILENT. Has Nothing to Say About Negotiations From Chicago.

A dispatch was received today from Chicago saying that a Presbyterian Church there was after a Brooklyn pastor and that a committee from that city was in Brooklyn to offer him the highest salary ever paid by that church. It is known, as was stated in The Eagle some weeks ago, that this is the church the pulpit of which has been vacant since the resignation, some months ago, the Rev. Dr. J. Balcom Shaw, one of the strong preachers of the Presbyterian denomination who was once an induential pastor in Manhattan.

Dr. Parkes Cadman's name was mentioned connection with the vacancy some weeks ago, and at that time it was learned that the pastor of the Central Congregational Church had said that there was nothing in It. and that he had telegraphed to Chicago declining to have his name used even SO far ag an overture for the place was concerned. Dr. Cadman's attention was called to the dispatch today and he refused absolutely to be interviewed about it as nothing had been done that he could say.

EAGLE AUTO AS AMBULANCE. Impressed Into Service When Hospital Vehicle Broke Down. On several occasions in the past the speedy Eagle automobiles which carry the daily issue of the paper into all quarters of the Greater City have been impressed into service, in emergencies, to act as ambulances. Recently an Eagle automobile took a small boy, who had fallen from a four -story building, to the hospital in record time, and on Saturday another Eagle auto proved its value as an ambulance. Thomas Ahearn was the driver.

The auto had been to the Grand Central station to make a delivery and was on its way back when, at Walker and Lafayette streets, it was called upon to take a man to St. Vincent's Hospital. He had fallen nine stories and had been placed in a St. Vincent's Hospital ambulance which started off with him when the axle broke. The man was lifted from the hospital vehicle to The Eagle auto, which took him from Walker and Lafayette streets to Eleventh street and Seventh avenue in less than five minutes.

FIND MURDERED MAN IN A VACANT LOT The letter taking the opposite position is from William W. Hulse. president of the Bay Shore Board of Trade and Improvement Association. Mr. Hulse states that he bas made a study of the thing for to the belief that the use of tobacco the past forty -three years, and has come destroying more human than all other causes bunched together." Mr.

cites some examples of dreadful deaths because of the tobacco habit. He continues: "In my judgment all smoking of tobaecos on trolley cars should be prohibited for the good of all, as it may possibly teach the smokers how offensive and unhealthful their habit is and how often the patrons of cars are made sick by unthoughtful persons carrying half-smoked cigars through the cars or standing on the front or rear platforms and their smoks blowing through the car." But Mr. Cragg has still another remedy for Dr. Pease and his followers besides the "Let him walk!" slogan. His letter reads: "The only remedy that could possibly satisfy Dr.

Pease et al. 18 to have the surface car companies run certain cars on all of Its or their lines marked "smoking car for smokers only," and then the learned doctor and his friends would not have their nostrils assailed by obnoxious odors of tobacco smoke when they chanced to use the cars of this borough." Hundreds of smokers are expected to be present before the Publie Service Com. missioners on Wednesday to oppose the move of the Nonsmokers Protective League of America, by which the Pease followers hope to banish smoking from cars forever. The Public Service Commission says it is a serious matter and it wants to hear sober argument. It is understood the commission will not stand for any plan to "smoke out" the nonsmokers at the hearing.

MITCHELL CASE ARGUED Court of Appeals Hears Pleas of Carmody and Herrick. Albany, N. June 16-The Court of Appeals was called upon today for the first time to interpret the powers given the Governor of New York State to make appointments to State offices. The question is involved in the action concerning the legality of Governor Sulzer's Labor Commissioner. pointment of John Mitchell as State Attorney General Carmody appeared in person to ask the court to sustain the decisions of the lower courts.

Former! Justice D-Cady Herrick, of Albany, by designation of the Governor, represented Mr. Mitchell. "The statute in this case." said the Attorney General, "requires the confirmation of the Senate. This is in accordance with the theory of our State and Federal Government. pursuant to which checks and balances are established to prevent concentrated and arbitrary exercise of power.

The Governor himself is given a check upon legislation by his veto power. The Senate is given a check upon the Governor in regard to his appointments." Justice Herrick argued that the resignation of Mr. Villiams as Commissioner. after the Legislature had adjourned. created a vacancy which the Governor was authorized to fill without the concurrence of the Senate.
