WILL REOPEN ONE FLOOR OF PUBLIC SCHOOL NO. 28 Rooms on Street Level Only of Old Building Will Be Used. SUPT. MAXWELL'S STATEMENT Says, That Buildings in General Are in Excellent Condition and That No Alarm Need Be Felt. Public -School No.

28, on Herkimer street near. Ralph avenue, this borough, Jhas been thoroughly inspected by SuperIntendent Maxwell and his assistants, and the decision reached that, because its flimsy condition, the upper floore the of "building would be unsafe in case of fire. The upper floors, therefore, will be abandoned, and the lower floor, which gives directly onto the street, and is safe, will be the only one used. The inspection has been going on for about a week, and the decision to abandon all floors except the one was arrived at yesterday by Superintendent Maxwell after a consultation with the buildings committee of the Board of Education. There is one other school house under his supervision, Superintendent said to that is undergoing scrutiny.

That is Public School No. 125, at 180 Wooster street, Manhattan. No general inspection of all the buildings is being made, however. Superintendent Maxwell said that all the rest of them were in good shape at present. "School No.

28," he said "was closed because the building is very, very old. It was built sixty or seventy years ago, and of flimsy construction. Frankly, 1 was afraid of the possible results of a in it. I was not willing to take the risk. The wood is old and dry.

I have peen, new trying for building the last there; I twenty think years now to I will get it. "The lower floor opens right on to the street. I do not feel that there is any risk in permitting it to continue in use. If I thought there was the slightest danger I would close it also. "The buildings in general are in excellent condition.

About $1,000,000 was spent to make them safe after the Collingwood fire, and the fire drills in all the schools are working excellently. We believe in taking time by the forelock; that is the explanation for closing up the greater part of School No. 28. In thirty years we have not lost the life of a single child through fire, and that is due to a policy of constant watchfulness. "You can tell the public that there is no cause for alarm regard to the school buildings throughout the city." A -WISP UNCLE Disappeared 53 Years Ago; Returns; Is Gone Again.

John Malloney Has Strange Experience of Seeing Long-Lost Kin for Short Call. To have an uncle that seems to be a sort of -wisp, disappearing at the age of ten years, reappearing after an absence of fifty -three years, and after a short call on a nephew, disappearing as strangely as he did half a century ago without even giving a clue as to where he might be found, except that he was in New York "on business" and was in the employ of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, of Scranton, Pa. -this is the strange experience of John Malloney of 1431 Wythe avenue, Brooklyn. Malloncy is a wholesale coal and ice dealer and when he returned from busimess Tuesday afternoon of this week his wife greeted him at the door with a mysterious smile and asked him to go into the parlor and see if he recognized the man who had come to call on him. Malloney entered the little parlor of their home and saw a man apparently between sixty and a seventy years of age, with white hair and a long drooping white moustache.

The two men talked for a then the older said: am your uncle, Austin Hudson, who mysteriously disappeared fifty -three when he was ten years old." Malloney was incredulous. "If you are my uncle tell me the Arst name of my mother," he said. "It was Selina," promptly replied the old man. The old man was correct. and Mallones was astounded.

He was now sure that he had found his long -lost uncle. The old guan would not stay long. 'He said he had business in Manhattan and that he he he he he he he he he must hasten away. However, he promised to return on Wednesday and go with MalJoney to the home of his sister, at 234 Grand street. But he did not come back, and he is now apparently as much lost 83 ever.

Austin Hudson, when a boy. lived with his mother. Gertrude Hudson at 40 Hamilton street, Manhattan, and it was his wont down to the docks and play about the ships. One day he disappeared, and was never heard of afterward, The river bottom was dragged for his body, but it was not found. At that time he was ten years old.

The man who turned up as Austin Hudson, Tuesday, said he had run away to sea, and had been all around the world. FIRE ESCAPE INSPECTION. Suspension Cable Devices to Be Tested by Deputy Mann-O'Keeffe's Strong Opinions. The second of the series of tests of suspension wire or cable fire escapes is scheduled to take place this afternoon under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner. Frank Mann of the Brooklyn Tenement House Department.

A tour will be made about 4 o'clock, in which the Commissioner will be accompanied by his deputy chief inspector, G. W. Cotter, and several assistants. Several types of these fire escapes now permitted by the law on PRIEST, CAMORRA FRIEND, WEEPINGLY DENIES GUILT Story Which He Claimed He Learned in Confessional, Once Secured Release of Leaders. NAMED OTHERS AS ASSASSINS.

Vitozzi Greatly Excited in Giving Testimony--Uproar in Court Forces Suspension of the Sitting. Viterbo, Italy, April 6-Ciro Vitozzi, the priest, who weepingly pleaded that he had celebrated masses for the repose cf the soul of the murdered King Humbert, was called in the Court of the Assizes today to explain how misery had acquainted him with such strange bedfellows as Erricone, the usurer, Rapi, the gambler, and others of the band of thieves and cutthroats, who made up the Neapolitan Camorra. "Througout my life," said the prisoner, "I have been a good priest, but priests more than others come in contact with the good and the evil. The priesthood 13 intended to combat what is bad and thus we must know it." It was Vitozzi who secured the release Erricone, whose proper name is Enrico Alfano; Ciro Alfano, Ibelli and Rapi when they were first arrested charged with complicity in the murder of Gennaro Cuccolo and his wife, "the beautiful Sorrentina." The priest went to the authorities and said that he had learned in the confessional the identity of the assassins, and that the men under arrest were innocent. He was believed and not only secured the freedom of his friends, bur subsequently denounced De Angelis and Amadeo as the murderers.

These men had some difficulty In discrediting the priest. As he testified to-day, Vitozzo could not, or would not, control his emotions and, aided by his attorney, who interrupted with counter charges against the Carabineers, caused such an uproar 1n the court that President Bianchi was forced to suspend the sitting. The priest has suffered physically from his long confinement in prison and when he was summoned to the bar he advanced slowly, leaning on his. cane. At his elbow was his physician, who explained to the court that he would have to give to his patient frequent stimulants to save him from fainting.

Nevertheless, the prisoner spoke in a strong voice, in the tone of the preacher. He proclaimed himself innocent, expressing surprise that the fact that he was the godfather of Erricone should have been used against him. He had never done wrong and knew evil only as a servant of the church must know it in order to fight it successfully. "When I was arrested," he continued, "I petitioned the Queen Mother, recalling to her mind that at the time of King Humbert's assassination I celebrated masses for the repose of his soul for eight days. I a also asked Queen Helena for my release because I was ill.

Instead of attracting compassion, I was sent to the prison hospital." The remembrance of his experience was too much for the "guardian angel of the and he became greatly excited, sobbing violently. The president exhorted him to be calm, but the more the justice exhorted, the more the prisoner wept. When Vitozzl referred to a woman companion of Erricone's brother Ciro, who died in Jail, Erricone rose and in 2 voice charged with emotion, asked permission of the court to leave the room. The president ruled: "Erricone is a man and must show his strength. It is impossible to allow him to leave the court every time that the name of his dead brother is mentioned." Erricon, however, explained that 1t was not the hearing of his brother's name that got on his nerves, but that he did not wish to be present when referhence had was been made linked to the with woman that of whose the poor innocent Ciro.

The president permitted him to withdraw in the custody of Carabineers. At. this point Signor Pistolest, attorney for Vitozzo, broke in with the assertion that the witnesses against his client had been bought and that he could prove it. This brought forth denials from the prosecution and in the hubbub that followed the session was adjourned. CHURCH IS PROSPERING Greene Ave.

Baptist Flock in an Excellent Condition. Pastor's Salary Is Increasen, and Other Important Matters Are Settled at Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Greene Ave- nue Presbyterian Church (Gurdon H. Eggleston, pastor) was held last night. The pastor presided.

H. R. Mayette, R. H. Flight and E.

P. Jaeger were elected trustees. A. Leonard. W.

A. Rea and F. C. Demeritt were elected elders. S.

Glasgow, A. Hamilton and C. Lehmann were elected deacons. The orchestra furnished the music. Refreshments were served.

It was an evening of good fellowship. The reports of the organizations of the church showed a splendid year's record. The treasurer reported a surplus of $7.63 with all bills paid. The mortgage fund showed $1,623.83. The total receipts in all organizations for missions and benevolences was $1,319.83.

The total surplus in the treasuries and mortgage fund 18 $2,173.83. Everybody was delighted. Last year was closed without a deficit, and this year closes without a deficit. The church reports this year 357 members. It was feared when the church burned a year ago that the mission and benevolent gifts would fall far short, but the total this year is almost equal to last year, and that without any special offerings.

The four Christian Endeavor societies, Junior, Intermediate, Young People's and Senior, reported a total of 214 members. Last week the attendance at these four midweek religious services was 178. The average weekly attendance runs high. The Bible School, which is thoroughly graded and doing aggressive educational work, reported 325 members, exclusive of Cradle Roll and Home Department: $982.80 received during the year, and $154.72 in the treasury. When the church passed a resolution two years ago eliminating all fairs and bazars, It may have seemed to tave taken away one of the chief means by which the women usually raise money; but the church is finding that giving money is better than raising money.

The willing aid, without fairs, reported $520.42. They have furnished the church kitchen with a new boiler, 200 each of plates, cups and saucers and butter plates; each of knives and forks, 31 yards of table linen. carpeted the pulpit, furnished shades, etc. Another organization, the Peace Seekers Circle King's Daughters, whose work is largely benevolent, reported receipts, of $382.86. As the meeting closed one of the tees rose to make a motion which he said would require no debate, that the sala of the pastor be increased $200 a ye Then an elder rose and moved that pastor be given ten weeks vacation this summer, both of which were unanimously carried, after which the meeting adjourned to the tables for refreshments.

JURY AWARDS $10,000 FOR LOST AFFECTIONS Dr. Walker, Dentist Who Wrote Fervid Letters, Must Pay Big Sum to Bels. VERDICT IS OPENED TO-DAY. Body Execution Applied For Against Man Who Said Crime Didn't Grow on Bushes. One of the largest amounts of damages awarded in an alienation suit in this county was granted this morning to Jacob Bels, the Brooklyn cigar manufacturer, whose wife transferred her affections to Dr.

Charles E. Walker, a dentist, of 450 Fifth avenue. Dr. Walker, who told his "darling Flo" that coins didn't grow on bushes, will have to pay Mr. Bels $10,000 within thirty days, otherwise a body execution may be issued against him.

Attorney Sidney Galitzka of 26 Court street, who represented the successful plaintiff, made application for the body execution against Dr. Walker this morning as soon as the verdict of the jury had been announced. Attorney Frank Holmes, on behalf of Dr. Walker, asked the court for a stay of thirty days, which was granted by Justice Crane, who presided over the case. The plaintiff rested his case almost entirely the fervid love letters written by Dr.

Walker. They were addressed to a servant in the Bels home. for Mrs. Bels. These letters were adbut are presumed a to have been intended dressed to "Dearest Flo" and contained protestations of undying love with occasional remonstrances as to the addressee's conduct with other men and her lavishness in spending the money given to her by the writer.

No defense was put in, the attorney representing Dr. Walker claiming that the plaintiff had not made out any case. He referred to the fact that the letters were addressed to a servant, and that, while there was some testimony that Mrs. Bels was not true to her husband, there was no evidence to show that Dr. Walker was the particular man sible for the alienation of her affections.

Justice Crane ordered a sealed and this was opened at 10 o'clock today. Mrs. Bels was not in court while the case was being tried. There were no witnesses besides the plaintiff. He told the jury that his wife had loved him up to 1904, when there came a sudden change, which he attributed to her meeting with Dr.

Walker. Later he found a bundle of letters in his wife's bureau drawer which furnished the principal evidence at the trial. Mr. Bels said that he left his wife soon after finding the letters and the couple have lived apart ever since. They have three children.

At Fire Headquarters in Brooklyn this afternoon Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe was asked by an Eagle reporter what he thought of the fire escape conditions in Brooklyn, and particularly of the value of the suspension ladder apparatus allowed on small buildings. The Commisstoner replied that he didn't see what good they could be in time of fire or panic to any occupants of a building who were nervous or excited. "And women and children certainly would be unable to get down safely on any type of ladder," said the Commissioner. "As for the regular types of outside, fire escapes," he continued, "the kind that is of practical value is the substantially, that built iron stairway with side fleeing occupants of a burnIng building could descend forward and not backward, and be enabled to hold on to keep from falling."

Funeral services over the remains of the late Charles Engert, the wealthy Brooklynite, who died of heart failure at Bad Nauhelm, Germany, on March 17, were held in the Most Holy Trinity Church, Montrose avenue, this morning.

John's Cemetery. The church was crowded with friends of the dead man. The chief mourner was Mrs. Engert. The Engerts went abroad two years ago on a.

trip intended to benefit Mr. Engert's health. BAY RIDGERS ARE PLEASED They Thank Tomkins for Better Ferry Service. Subway Matters, Cracked Asphalt and Other Subjects Discussed at Meeting. Dock Commissioner Tomkins was commended last evening by the Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton Citizens Association, which met at the Firemen's Hall, Bay Ridge avenue, near Third, for the proved service on the Thirty-ninth street ferry.

Resolutions were to be forwarded to him, wherein adopted, also praised for the interest he has taken in the establishment of a ferry route between the Borough of Richmond and Thirty-ninth street, Brooklyn. The report of the committee appointed to represent the association at the recent subway mass meeting at the Parkway Assembly was received with thanks, and the resolutions then adopted, demanding that the Fourth avenue subway be built all the way to Fort Hamilton, were indorsed. The members of the association emphatically declared that, although they do not absolutely oppose the extension of the elevated on Third avenue to Fort Hamilton, they do refuse to accept that extension in lieu of the complete Fourth avenue subway as originally laid out, i. to Fort Hamilton. Complaints were read that the asphalt pavement has cracked, and Secretary Edward Hartung was instructed by President William E.

Cleary to call the matter to the attention of the Highways Department. The delay in opening Eighty-first street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, was scored. That street was ready to be legally opened two years ago, but nothing has been done yet. That A new road be laid out through Dyker Heights Park in place of an old one that has just been closed was demanded. It was suggested that this new thoroughfare, which would connect Fort Hamilton with Bath Beach and Coney Island, be a continuation of Cropsey avenus and Nenety- second street.

At present a detour has to be made as far north as Eighty-sixth street, in order to cross the park reservation. Four new members were elected to the association. FOR ATLANTIC AVENUE TUBE. Civic Association Makes Suggestions to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. The Atlantic Avenue Civic Association, through its president, Henry L.

O'Brien, has sent to President Timothy S. Williams, of the B. R. generally indorsing the company's rapid transit proposal to the Public Service Commission, but at the same time making the following suggestions: "That the additional tunnel to be constructed under the East River from the vicinity of the Battery to Brooklyn, connecting both with the proposed new subway in Manhattan and with the subway lines in Brooklyn now under construction and others to be constructed. should be a tunnel that would run from the Battery to South Ferry and up Atlantic avenue to Fourth avenue, connecting with the Fourth Avenue tunnel and other tunnels to be constructed.

The Fourth Avenue tunnel, according to your proposal, is to be a very important part of your system and certainly the most direct connection between the Battery and the Fourth Avenue subway be up At-! lantic avenue. "Atlantic avenue, as you know, is a 100-foot street, and the difference in the cost of building the subway under Atlantic avenue or under some of the other streets proposed would be in favor of Atlantic avenue by at least 50 per especially as Atlantic avenue is wide enough to permit of an open cut construetion. When the question of the TriBorough subway was before the Public Service Commission and a vote was taken the Public Service Commission on the question of continuing the Tri-Borough subway from Manhattan to Brooklyn and up Atlantic avenue to Fourth avenue, the vote was 3 to 2, showing that it was a very close question with them. That section of Brooklyn south of Atlantic avenue is a very large section and should be entitled to consideration. Besides, this route would be more direct than any other and would mean the saving of considerable time.

"The other suggestion we have to make is that you build a four -track subway easterly of Eastern Parkway instead of a two-track subway as proposed." TWO HOURS FOR ONE ARREST. Alfano Burello Resisted the Efforts of Officer Perkins and Many Citizens. It took Patrolman Patrick Perkins and a squad of citizens the better part of two hours this morning to subdue Alfano Burello, 29 years old, of 73 North Elliott place, who had been arrested on a charge of felonious assault. The victim of the cutting was William Griffin, 28 years old, of 3382 Fulton street. Griffin and Burello were standing near the former's home when Burello, is charged, insulted one of Griffin's sisters.

Griffin resented the insult, and Burello, pulling a razor from his pocket, slashed the other's cheek. A great disturbance followed, in which Patrolman Perkins and the crowd had the time of their lives. Burello fought all the way to the station house, almost a mile away, and when he got there Dr. Southwick, of Bradford Street Hospital, applied several yards of court plaster and soothing lotions to his features. Griffin's wound required fifteen stitches.

Burello was arraigned before Magistrate Dooley, in the New Jersey Avenue Police Court, and held for a hearing. MACHINIST BADLY HURT. Alexander Luse, 26 years old, of 129 Newton street. is to-day in the Cumberland Street Hospital, suffering from a lacerated hand and in doubt as to whether he will have the use of it again, ag a result of an accident that happened to him last evening while adjusting A belt on a pulley in the factory of the Certral Avenue Bed Company, at 120 Classen avenue, where he was employed Ag a machinist. Luse's hand was caught between the belt and the pulley and badly cut.

He was attended by Surgeon Rice of the Cumberland Street Hospital. NEW OUTDOOR SCHOOL OPENED IN BROOKLYN P. S. 162 Now Has an Open-Alr Class on the Roof, With Twenty Pupils. FOOD IS PROVIDED.

ALSO. Tuberculosis Committee and Broadway Board Succeeded Where Board of Education Failed. Brooklyn at last 1g to have the same advantages for its anaemic school children as Manhattan has had for a year. Starting to-day, although only for short time, Public School at St. Nicholas and Willoughby avenues, instituted the class on the roof of its building.

Grace Strachan is in outdoor, charge of the school, and judging from the initial attempt, to-day, the scheme will prove just as popular as it has across a the river. Entirely without the support of the Board of Education, the children were chosen, and they will henceforth be treated with a view circumventing tuberculosis. The starting of the outdoor class is due to the untiring efforts of the Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis, together with the members of the Broadway Board of Trade. On the roof of Public School No. 162, for a short time to-day, could be found twenty children who have shown signs of anaemia and of being subject to tuberculosis.

There are in the school about forty cases that need attention, but because of the unsettled conditions, it was decided to select only the twenty most urgent cases. Miss Morlarty has direct charge of the class. The scheme as outlined. is in line with the treatment that 18 being accorded tuberculosis children on the old ferryboat Susquehanna and at the Home for Consumptives, on Kingston avenue. The boat service.

with thirty-six children in and there are many children now on the attendance, has proved very satisfactory, waiting list for treatment. Recently Miss Anne Morgan presented to every pupil on the boat a shoes. Proper Food Will Also Be Provided for Children. In the case of the outdoor school the subjects are children who, after examination, have shown signs of anemia and who may be cured by the outdoor ment. The plan is an extensive one.

In that the children not only will get the benefit of the air, but will have proper food at stated intervals. It is planned by the Committee 011 Prevention of Tuberculosis to give each child in the class a glass of milk as soon as the child arrives at school in the morning, a warm lunch at noon time. and another glass of milk before the child leaves school. In order not to make it appear like a charity, it is likely that the children will be alowed to pay a cent for these meals. As a.

matter of fact. the children will get this treatment through the subscriptions to the committee. It is estimated that the meals will cost on an average of between 8 and 14 cents a day. There will be no question of the popularity of the treatment, and it 1s expected to be in full operation after the Easter holidays. At present the space allotted for the purpose on the roof of the school is covered with gravel.

and it is proposed to board the flooring. The children now under treatment are housed in A room opening on the roof. In which every one of the windows is always kept wide open. It is proposed to later on put up a canvas or board roofing outside, but this cannot be done until money is available. The Board of Education has absolutely neglected the Brooklyn children in this matter.

but now has offered to clothe the children of the class. There will be ready a coat and a cap for every anemic child put in the class. The local committee on the prevention of tuberculosis 1s not finding fault with the Board of Education. yet it is surprised that Superintendent Maxwell turned back $3.500 of the $6,500 appropriation made last year for the purpose of reconstructing some schools for the outdoor treatment. The committee has been ready to feed the children for a long time and the return to the sinking fund of more than halt of the appropriation when Brooklyn needed it.

was not relished. There are eight schools which have been fixed up In Manhattan and none in Brooklyn. It Is proposed to incorporate in the next budget a request for an appropriation so that Brooklyn can get its share. Realizing that Superintendent Maxwell has multitudinous labors, the local committee has determined to keep at the board until It gets what is needed here. In speaking of the matter this morning Secretary Jenkins of the committee praised the efforts of the Broadway Board of Trade, which continuously pushed the matter of getting outdoor schoolrooms here, The committee working in conjunetion with this board is headed by F.

B. Pratt, chairman, and A. D. White, vice chairman. THE REALTY MARKET Auction Sales Yesterday at the Real Estate Exchange.
