mm school graduates The graduating exercises of the Brooklyn Model School were held this morning ln the school auditorium, and forty-four girls were awarded diplomas. As those were the last exercises at which Miss Mary Molow, the retiring head of the school, would preside, the entire school contributed to the programme, which was replete with expressions of love and respect for the retiring head, regret at her departure from the school, and good wishes for the future. Miss Molow opened the exercises, and in a short address thanked the parents of the students for their intelligent and hearty co-operation with and support ot the school authorities. Whatever success had attended the work of the school iu the twenty-eight years she has been Its head is largely due to this support from the parents. In conclusion she paid a high tribute to her successor, Frederick L.

Holtz, and asked that the same support be extended to him as in the past had been given her. Miss Emma L. Johnston, principal of the Brooklyn Training School, presented tho diplomas to lha graduates, and as they passed down from the platform, each member of the class presented a rose to Miss Molow as an expression of the affection and esteem they feel for her. The youugsters of the kindergarten also took this means of paying their tribute to Miss Molow, each child presenting to her a spray of sweetpeas. The address was made by Arthur S.

Somers. chairman of the committee on high and training schools of the Board of Education. His theme also was the work of Miss Molow, and he said the exercises of the day were a fitting tribute to the zeal and devotion she had shown in her lifework. Flora Caroline Holton delivered the address of greeting on behalf of the graduates. Each class trom the kindergarten to the eighth year class contributed a number showing some characteristic of the Model School.

The kindergartners pictured the "homelikeness" of the school, and the other characterists typified were punctuality, gentleness and kindness, industry, loyalty, faithfulness. Justice, practicalness and Joyousness. The girls who received the diplomas were Clarice Abrahams. Martha Washington Barna. Dorothy Ru-ck.

FIGHT ON WIOKAKAN STARTS Powers' Followers Begin Warfare in the 23d A. D.

The Twenty-third Assembly District Democratic Club, of which James M. Power, eecretary to Public Works Commissioner Lewis H. Pounds, Is the standard bearer, was formally organized, last night, at the home of Mr. Power, 1387 Herkimer street. With this organization Mr.

Power hopes to remove Transfer Tax Appraiser James J. Monahan, from the Democratic leadership of the district. "A real leader, and not a leader by proxy," was choeen as the primary slogan. Michael T. J.

King, formerly an active lieutenant ot Monahan, was chosen as temporary chairman of the meeting, last night. George Relff, another district captain, was elected as temporary secretary. One of tho singular features of the gathering was the presence of many Democrats who are election district captains under Monahan. Mr. Power, ln the course of his remarks, impressed upon the delegates that the coming mayoralty campaign Is the most Important that the party has had In years.

The time, hs said, was most opportune for the younger element to assert Itself and eliminate the "political hacks" who have been "conducting the affairs of the party for their pockets." Mr. Powor ophesled that the new organization will have little trouble In accomplishing Monahan's defeat. The chairman will appoint a committee to confer the Young Men's Democratic Crtlb, the Star Club and the Brownsville Democratic Club, to Induce them to affiliate with the central movement against Monahan. The meeting voted to prepare a campaign appeal, which will be sent to every enrolled Democrat in the district, enlisting support to bring about Monahan's retirement from the leadership. Among those appointed on the committee to secure the co-operation of other Democratic organizations In the district were Mr.

Power, Frank Wasserman, Michael T. J. King, Joseph Katz and Michael Beck. BROOKLYN COURTS COUNTY COURT. Civil Calendar, Juno 27.

Le Ro N.Y. The Man who put the Eya ia T. life Brownsville Taxpayers Nearly Come to Blows with Counter Arguments. MAYOR'S GAVEL KEPT EUSY. Purchase of Site Finally Laid Over After Controller Takes Dig at Steers.

A thrilling representation of the mob-scens from "Julius Caesar" was given before the members of the Board of Estimate ln session at the City Hall today, when the question of laying out and acquiring title to a playground by assessment ln the Brownsville section Brooklyn came up for the approval of the board. Fully 300 angry and excited supporters and opponents of the project crowded around the frail railing which separated the dias where the members of the board sit, from the public seats, and shouted heated arguments pro and con, until both sides were speaking st once snd hurling recriminations at each other snd It looked as if they would come to blows. While the members of the board looked on In helpless amazement and the Mayor pounded ln vain for order, the shouters caught their second wind and started a concerted chant of disapproval. It was only when the Mayor'st police aide, Lieutenant Kennel, used football tactics to penetrate the crowd and silence the ringleaders that order was restored. The proposition under consideration was the acquisition of four blocks of property ln Brownsville for playground purposes, three of tbe blocks bounded by Dumont, Hopklnsnn and Livonia avenues and Douglass street ands the fourth bounded by Hopklnson, Blake and Dumont avenues.

Assessment Would Amount to $10 a Lot, Says General Wingate. This, General George W. Wingate, vice chairman of the Public Recreation Commission explained, would probably cost about $240,000, and would be borne by a local assessment of $10 a lot under the proposed plan. Geenral Wigate appeared ln advocacy of the proposition. It was also proposed, he explained, to expend the entire "Betsy Head" fund of S1S7.746 on this playground, should it be acquired by (he city.

This fund was left by the will of Betsy Head to be devoted tu playground purposes and it is the only fund to be administered by the Public Recreation Commission. It would be used for equipping the playground after it had been acquired, he explained. 30 as to lit It out In a manner equal to the model playgrounds of the country and as a fitting memorial to Betsy Head. Former Alderman Alexander S. Drescher headed the delegation ln favor of the playground.

He presented a petition to the board signed by 6.700 individuals. 2.000 i0t owners and the representatives of $5,000,000 worth ot property. Assessment Would Be $50 to $75 a Lot, Say Opponents. The opponents of the plan also presented a petition against the acquisition of the site. "They say that it will only cost $10 a lot," declared one.

"We've been told that before. It would probably mean from $50 to $75 a lot. If wo stood for this they'd want to make fire houses and schools a local assessment." "Don't you realize that you are getting the Betsy Head fund as a gift?" demanded Borough President McAneny of Manhattan. "Yes, we know It," replied the speaker, "but Brownsville don't want any gifts-It can take care of Itself." Paul Gorhani, representing Wood, Harmon Company, told the board that his clients believed that It was a serious question whether It could be made a local assessment, as it is merely an adjunct of the school system. After a semblance of order had finally been restored, the Mayor demanded to know who would move the adoption the plan.

Prcndergast Takes Sly Hap at Steers, "Better l'-ave that to the militant Borough President of Brooklyn," declared Controller Prendergast. The Mayor turned to President Steers, but the latter looked discomfited and threw up his hands. "I'll move it." declared President Kline of the Board of Alderman. The Mayor voted aye but the Controller declared tliat he was unwilling to approve a matter of local assessment where there was so much evident opposition. The Mayor then suggested that the entire matter he laid over for one week was done.

Alderman Drescher announced after the hearing that the advocates of the playground would hold a mass-meeting on next Wednesday night. Somewhere in Brownsville to cecure turther indorsement of the plfn. Judgments Satisfied. JfNTJ Ji. Grant Hawkins llnwkins Hirshflcld Han'v-J Hunt Han'ey Hunt 591.

0. Inclosed find $. Helen McCarthy Has Been Cone Three Days Parents Frantic. NIECEOFLATE BISHOP ROOKER Left Hotel Hargrave, Manhattan, Tuesday on Errand Police Throw Out Dragnet. No clew as to the whereabout of pretty Helen McCarthy, who disappeared three days ago from her home in the Hargrave Hotel at 112 West Seventy-second street, Manhattan, has yet been fnmiri hv thA nnMn or tha elrl's friends.

Miss McCarthy left the hotel on Tuesday morning to make a purchase at a soop the vicinity and has not been heard from since. Her mother fears that her daughter has been kidnapped and is being forcibly held la some place ln or around the city. The relatives of the missing girl mads for her before they re ported the matter to the polloe, visiting the hospitals and other piaoei wur girl might possibly have been taken, but no avail. No trace of tbe girl can be 1 Uft the hotel. At the jtore she was to visit no one remembered seeing the girl on Tuesday, althougn sne is well known there.

Tbe snorts 01 police since they were called ia last ulght have been just as futile. Helen McCarthy Is the daughter of Mr and Mrs. John A. McCarthy of the Hotel Hargrave. The family Is prominent in Albany, where Mr.

McCarthy, who is a newspaper broker, was formerly head of the Prees-Knickerbocker-Lxpresj. Mrs. McCarthy is a sister of the la. Uishop Frederick Rooker of tbe Catholi'i Uhurch and for many years connected with the Papal Legation In Washtugton. The McCarthy family has resided in New York for two years past.

Helen has been home from school only since last January, and her Ignorance about the city and Its ways has added to toe anxiety of ber parents. At about :15 o'clock on Tuesday morning Mrs McCarthy sent her oaughter, Helen, to a store in Columbus avenue, pear West Seventy-second street, Manhattan, where the family maintained a. charge account, and Helen was expected to go directly back to her home as she had to go to a private school, the tirmf School, ln West End avenue near West Seventy-first street. The girl did not and after an exhaustive wait Mrs. McCarthy decided that something must have happened to her daughter.

Mrs McCarthy notified ber husband, who was at business, and he returned directly to the hotel. Tha family has no relatives ln this city, and a quick among the (rlends of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy failed to disclose any tacts of the girl's whereabouts. Private agencies were called upon and a search of hospitals and institutions was completed, without success.

Yesterday the search. as continued, and when twilight brought no news fthe grl. the facts wero r-porte dto the police, and an alarm set out for the girl. Mrs. McCarthy, almost prostrated as result of her two days of wouy and a lonf, sleepless night, last night said: "Helen had very few friends, and we knew them all none upon whom anyone could look as in the light of an attachment.

She had her young girl friends, but seldom went out except under the attention of our. family, or warm I feel sure tha child has been lured away, perhaps by some older person, or else she was taken away by force." The police are placing little weight In the theory advanced by the father that the girl was kidnapped. Detectives Sharp and Dennoil of the West Sixty-eighth street station, who are working on the ease with Central Office detectives, said .1.... 11 1 Kafrtra hop diRjnnear- ance from the Hotel Hargrave last Tues day, was reprovea oy ner iat.ner iur oiut cri-or she had made Iu the performance of an errand and they suspect that the chafing under the rehuke, started tor tbe home of some friend. According the two detectives Mr.

McCarthy admitted that he had punished his daugh-rer, and that she had disappeared soon 1 forward. The description of the girl furnished hv her mother, shows her to be 5 feet 4 inches in height, weighing about 121 pounds, with the appearance of a girl of 14 years with her hair worn down her ba-k in 'two braids. When she set out 'or the store she wore a pink dress, witn a black velvet belt, and a blue strav hat and black shoes and stockings. I WILLS FILED TODAY, urvnT BRVPPEL. dfM Jun- 1.

Claims Against Old Broadway, Manhattan, Hostelry Said to Total $55,000. An involuntary petition In bankruptcy was filed ln the United States District Court ln Manhattan today, against the St. Denis Hotel Company, which maintains a hotel and restaurant at Broadway and Eleventh street, by Charles M. Atkins, with a claim of (150 for rental of paintings; the Elite Steam Laundry, with a claim of $400 for merchandise, and W. J.

Rooney, with a claim of I23 for Insurance premiums. Preferential payments and admission of insolvency are alleged ln the petition. The liabilities are stated to be $55,000, and the assets are roughly estimated at $15,000. Judge Hand appointed Arthur H. Gotthold as receiver, with a bond of $7,500.

The creditors state that they have been Informed by the officers of the cuunmny, that lately the hotel has been running ln arrears and that two months' rent now due, amounts to the 'axes unpaid amount to about $12,000, anl the merchandise liabilities total JSo.uOO. The assets are staled to consist of furniture worth between $10,000 and $15,000, and a stock of a perishable nature valued at between and $5,000. The creditors ln addition state that the company besides admitting insolvency says it cannot ralso funds to further continue the business and that there are many suits pending against it and the sheriff or city marshal Is likely to take possession ot the hotel on judgments and thereby give some of the creditors preference. They also stated that It Is necessary for the best interests of the creditors that the receiver be authorised to continue business so as to preserve the good will and so that If the company seeks to make n. settlement or rehabilitate the business It will not have been injured through dispossess proceedings.

Judge Hand's order, however, did not authorize Receiver Cotthold to continue the running of the old-time hotel or restaurant. BANQUET TO JOHN BENSEL State Engineer to Be Honored for Barge Canal Work.

Discrimination Against Jews Not Confined to 47th Regiment, Counsel Declares at Hearing. SIMILAR CASE IN 13TH? Manhattan Regiments Also Hotbeds of Race Feeling, It Is Claimed Hearing Is Continued. Tht discrimination against Jews Is a general practlca In the National Guard and that ha la preparing to bring charges egalnat National Guard officers In various other regiments besides the Forty-seventh of Brooklyn, for specific Instances of discrimination, was the bomb exploded at the Llttman hearing yesterday afternoon, in the City Hall, Manhattan, by Maurice Simmons, past Commander-in-Chief of the United Spanish War Veterans, who conducted the examination for th former sergeant.

Moreover Simmons declared that he had legal evidence to prove that a member of the examining board In one of the regiments which passed on the fitness of applicants seeking promotion had stated that he would see to It that no Jew would ever succeed in passing his examination to become a commissioned officer. "The manner in which Jews have been moi 0n ln the Guard." said -Mr Simmons, "Is outrageous. This case of LIttman's Is not the first, but one of many If a man. because of his religion. Is going to be prevented from holding a commission ln the National Guard it Is about time that steps were taken to exclude those men from the organizations, oner eases have never been brought to an investigation because those concerned were weak.

IJttman Is one who had the thank God for that" Case Similar to LIttman's in Thirteenth Regiment, Is Claim. A similar case to that of former Sergeant Samuel Llttman, around whom the present Inquiry hinges, exists in the T'rtntl Reslment, Brooklyn, it is said, H.min!Wl 'n, the Eisbth and Ninth Colonel Davis of the Thirteenth Reglmeot said today that he knew absolutely nothing of any discrimination In his organization. The Eighth Regiment case Is said to be the applicant, a Hebrew, was floored on the questions put to him by the examining board. One of the questions he was reuuired to answer correctly In order to pass was said to be the following: "Give the name and length of every river in New York State." The member of the examining board who said that he would prevent any Jew from ever securing a commission In his regiment Is a commissioned officer It Is stated, and charges will shortly hlm Governor Sulzer. TJrtlmau wss represvinecl at the hearing yesterday by Kriward Lauterbach Municipal Court Justice Leon Sanders and Maurice Simmons.

Colonel Barth-man was represented by Colonel Alexander S. Bacon. Lieutenant Colonel Herman Bendell, retired, of Albany, presided under orders from the Governor. Sitting with him were Adjutant General H. D.

Hamilton, Lteuteuant Colonel Henry S. Sternberger, chief of the Commissary Division, and Lieutenant Commander Lewis Josephtbal of the Naval Militia. Colonel Bendell explained at the outset that the status of the proceeding was only that of a hearing. A number of officers of the Forty-seventh, who were seated iu the body of the room, were overheard to pass remarks that were anything but complimentary to former Sergeant Llttman. while the latter was telling his story on tho stand.

A document around which considerable Interest will probably devolve was Introduced by Colonel Bacon at one stege of the proceedings. Llttman had testified that Colonel Marthuian refused to call an election to fill the vacant second lieutenancy in Company for fear that Llttman would be chosen. The witness then volunteered that he would undoubtedly have been the choice of the company, as be had done more for it than anyone else. Signed Statement by Members of LIttman's Company Shown. "Are you sure that you would have had the support of the majority the members of your company';" demanded Colonel Bacon, seizing on the opportunity thus offered.

"Reasonably sure," responded the witness. Then I offer this document In evidence," retorted Colonel Bacon, "signed by a majority of the company and statine In effect that they would not at that time or any other time have voted In favor of the "We do not object to it being offered In evidence," declared Mr. Simmons, "but right at this point I wish to state that If It Is put in evidence I demand the right to summon everyone whose name Is signed to it to show by -what threats and underhand methods their signatures were obtained." "Sure, they have opened the door for you; walk ln." prompted Judge Sanders. Counsel for Llttman later demanded that not only the signers of the document In question but all the members of Company be required to appear at today's hearing. Colonel Bendell declared that he had no power to compel their attendance but that he would request that they attend.

General Hamilton was called upon as their superior officer to compel their attendance but he would not go any further than Colonel Bendell had offered to go. Ho said he would request all the members of the company to attend today's session, which starts at 3 P. M. There were thlrty-eieht signers of the statement and Liltman declared that he had gone to all whose addresses he knew, nine In ail, and that they had informed him that they either did rot know what they had 6lgned or that they had signed it under pressure. He had affidavits from eight of thpm to that effect, he declared.

The direct and cross-examination of the complainant, himself, consumed all of yesterday's hearing. Colonel Bacon damaged the direct testimony somewhat on cross-examination but he did not shake LIttman's main story. He bro-jssht nut the fact that Llttman had a very low record for attendance at drills during his first enlistment, also that he took advantage of his position as company clerk ot one time to remain away fro drills. The hearing was continued today at 3 P. and it is expected will bo brought to a close tomorrow.

While the proeedlnpR were going on In City Hall, the case was al.o beins: con-Mdfred In Rochester, N. Y. where the annual convention of the United Spanish War Veterans was in progress. A resolution was adopted at the convention condemning such discrimination as unjust, Inconscionable and un-American and demanding of the Governor that the stigma be removed from the military escutcheon the Empire State. laniaa aurtna: tbe 24 boun Btt( at 1J.
