Woodruff, the Republican politician, Is planning to establish on the Garden City Estates, west of Garden City, the finest aero club that has ever sprung Into existence on Long Island or anywhere else. But he is not, going to "get away with It" without a struggle. There are about sixty-five occupied residences on and near the Garden City Estates, and a number of the property owners are going to light to the last ditch to keep Mr. Woodruff from turning the section Into an aviation field.

Mr. Woodruff is president of the company owning the tract of ground, consisting of a couple of thousand acres, known as the Garden City Estates. He is also president of the Aero Club, and Clifford Harmon, the aviator, is vice president. Messrs. Woodruff and Harmon project a club, with clubhouse and hangars, which shall go beyond anything ever before seen In America, and they have stated to the residents at Garden City Estates that it will be a "gentleman's club."

Lawyer Charles J. McDermott, acting in the Interest of the defendants in the suit, asked for an indefinite extension of time. He was Informed that he could have all the time deemed necessary in order to make a reply. This perhaps will mean a delay of six months or more before the cases reach the courts.

It is the feeling in the offlce of the corporation counsel that some compromise may be reached between the city and the defendants, but Lawyer McDermott declares that he has been instructed to light the matter to an issue. "We are going to take this matter slowly," said Mr. McDermott to-day. "The city has taken Its time in serving us with papers nineteen years, 364 days, in fact and we intend to proceed slowlv ourselves." Mr. McDermott thinks that the cases will not reach the courts until next October, or later.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Frecd-man to-day said that the suits could be disposed of In less than a month if the defendants held a conference and cania to an agreement. "This property, title to which is under question, is a strip of land which has been filled In by the association at Sea Gate for residential purposes. The city owned the land under water at this point, and is only claiming what it owns. If these defendants saw fit to fill in the land under water and to bulkhead It, it is their business. We intend to pursue our course." Corporation Counsel Watson prepared a statement for The Eagle on the 6tatus of the case.

He said that a great maay years ago, the Town Board of Grav.esend granted land to various property owners, and they granted certain privileges which It was not within their legal power to give. "In the present case," he said, "property owners have a clear title to land which has been formed within the last few years by the washing of sand by the ocean. Some of them, anticipated this accruing of land and built retaining walls and filled In." The only property Involved, said Mr. Watson, is where artificial land juts beyond the natural shore line. Those within their rights and against whom suit can not be brought, the corporation counsel points out.

are property owners who have built a retaining wall and filled In to a distance of 20 feet- beyond the original, and where the ocean las deposited sand each side of the property to such an extent that this artificial land does not project beyond the new shore line thus creat--1. The defendants in the suit besides the Atlantic Yacht Club and the Sea Gate Association are Alrick H. Man, a lawyer of Richmond Hill and BO Wall street, Manhattan; Alice B. Bertram, James and Ella Heyman and Walter Tompkins. TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS Brooklyn League Committee Reports on 1910 Work.

The committee on surface railroads of the Brooklyn League, of which George W. Wilson Is chairman, has made Its annu.il report to the league, telling of the improvements it has secure! in transit matters during the year. Says this report among other things: "The transfer question is certainly a thorn In the body po.itic and has your committee sleepless nights in trying to solve this most complicated subject in the interest cf the public. We find lines under 01.3 management but retaining their separate corporate Identity, that no law exists lo compel transfers from one company to another separate company (even under the same management) so that with the law as it Btan is and the decision of the Public Service Commission, we find it optional with the companies to transfer where the traffic Is found to be most evenly distributed for long and short haul and parallel lines. In the face of the above analyses out 670,000,000 passengers carried, about ono-tbiid, or in figures, 152, were transfer passengers." Requests during the year for more wheel guards on passenger cars, snow removal, sprinkling, clean cars, resulted in the installation of wheel guards on all passenger cars, 40 per cent, increase in snow sweepers, S5 per cent, sprinkling cars.

1,400 cars cleaned and revarnished, 1,150 cars cleaned and floors and Iron work painted. Car operation of surface lines has been improved in the reduction of headway and less time used on all night Interval runs. An Increase of 2,500 trips per week day, over the previous year. Concerning the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad the report Bays: The company has made Improvements In every department. So well was the operation of the road conducted during the last year that the Public Service Commission reports show less delays from faults of operation.

During the year 1011 It Is expect that the Parkway Railroad on Coney It-land avenue, at a cost of over $300,000, will be finished. The company Is also expending $100,000 in the improvement of the terminal property at Coney Island. A mortem railroad depot is being erected there and the comfort of the patrons of the road will be thoroughly regarded. CORPORATION NOTICES. OFFICE OF THE' DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS AND KEUnTES.

of the Lcng Island Loan and Trust Com pany, Is to be elected president of tho company at the next monthly meeting of the directors the third Wednesday of next month, according to unimpeachable information given to The Eagle today. That Mr. Rossiter Is to be chosen as the head of one of Brooklyn's most successful trust companies occasions no surprise in local financial circles; but that his election has been deferred so long has been the subject of widespread comment. It may be stated that one or two of the directors of the company have offered objections to the choice of Mr. Rossiter on the ground that, in their opln- Clinton L.

Rossiter. ion, be was not conservative enough, yet no one has been mentioned as an opposition candidate, and rather than force any unpleasantness Into the situation, the majority the directors, who. It is said, have all along favored Mr. Rossi-ter's promotion, have deferred temporarily to the objections of the minority. Edward Merritt, the late president, died on February 11, and It was the original Intention of the board to elect Mr.

Rossiter as his successor at the February meeting, but on the motion, it is said, of Edward D. White, one or the directors, the election was postponed for thirty days as a mark of iespect for the memory of the late president. When no flection was held In March, however, surprls was expressed in the financial district. It Is said that the opposition to Mr. Rossiter comes from one or two of the older nte-ibers of the board.

Mr. Rossiter Is i i 50 years of age, and It Is said tlu.io men do not think he Is sufficiently along in years to guide the affairs of the trust company in a conservative manner. Mr. Rossiter has been connected with the company for the past ten years. He Is now the third largest individual stockholder In the company.

When he joined the company, It is Bald, that It was loaded up with about $75,000 worth of real estate to which It had taken title through foreclosure proceedings. According to reliable Information all of this has been cleaned up. The company has been placed on a higher dividend basis, and In dollars has paid $1,800,000 to Its stockholders, or 108 per of Its capital stock. The Long Island Loan rnd Trust Company Is the only local compnnv that makes a practice of publishing, in toto at stated periods Its stock and bond holdings. This list comprises nothing but gilt-edged railroad securities and a few other high-class Investments.

Mr. Rossiter is widely Interested In Brooklyn and Long Island enterprises. He Is treasurer and trustee of AdelphI College, vice president and director of the Albany and Hudson River Railroad Company, vice president, and director of' the Suffolk County Bank at Stony Brook, director of the Pacific Fire Insurance Company, secretary, treasurer and director of the Sultepec 'Electric Light and Power Company and of the Toluca Electric Light and Power Companv, both in dent of the New York Central and of the Old Mexico.

321 Weeblngton Bt, Flushing, ou Saturday, ril 29, at 11 A.M., the Milk Commission of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, told an audience at the Friends School on Scher-merhorn street, yesterday, that three-fourths of the babies under 1 year of age that die In England are artificially fed. The doctor Is a friend of the nat ural method of feeding infants, but ho realizes that this is not always It la possible, however, for a mother to obtain for her child milk of the very best, milk that has been certified and shipped direct from the source of supply to the consumer without exposure. Dr. Moak began his talk with a few words on responsibility in the home. It was nosslhle.

said he. to get good milk and then have the householder, through ignorance, spoil all the effort that liad gone before. Ho caused a murmur of surprise to run round the audience when he declared that it was a mistake to lake milk which had come off tho Ice, add hot boiled water and thcn set it away in the ice box. Milk so treated he de scribed as "a happy hunting ground 'or bacteria," and he made it plain that it is not storms or lightning which spoil milk, but bacteria. The milk should be kept cold and if boiled water is added should be cold boiled water, he said.

'If out of the mouth of babes, he said, In this connection, "could come the truth about what goes Into the mouths of babes some of us would be shocked." Clean milk, he continued, means more than everything else to the baby In tho flrBt year of Its life. He then told of a mother who came to him when he was practicing, with a dying baby in her arms. He asked her what she had given It and she replied that she had fed it "everything." He then got gome clean milk out of the Ice-box, warmed It without modifying It didn't boll it and gave It to the infant through a medlclue dropper. Next day the child was much better and in six months with the aid of the proper sort of milk, it was well. "It is ignorane-i that leads us astray," he went on.

"Nature never intended that milk should see the light of day." By means of slides and by word of mouth. Dr. Moak gave the audience nn idea of the old methods surrounding the production, canning and handling of milk and compared them with the new. A healthy cow kept clean Is about 90 per cent, of the battle won in the fight for pure milk, the doctor said, and his pictures of the covered electric vans with cold Interiors, which transport the milk according to the most approved methods, evoked much approval. He stated that there are nine places In Brooklyn where Buch milk may be obtained.

Dr. Burr Burton MoBher preceded Dr. Moak and spoke on "The Causes, Prevention and Early Treatment of Splnai Deformity In Children. "Often," he said, "the first notice of something wrong with the child Is given by the family dressmaker, who remarks that the child "has a bad back and that her clothes do not fit properly." Dr. MoBher advocated the examination of- children by a competent physician at least once or twice a year.

In order that the slightest deviation from the normal condition of things might be noted and measures taken to correct It. In spinal troubles it is very important, he added, that the trouble be discovered as early as possible. "Spinal deformity can usually be arrested If detected early enough," he snld. In answer to the question: "How are we to suspect the disease?" he said that there were ce. tain well-defined symptoms.

Perhaps the child would cry or whine, cry out In its sleep or disolav frightened attitude when lifted or turned. Again, It might comnlain of pains or display a tendency to lean on chairs and tables. 'You can't get stcop shouldored If vnu keep your knees straight." was a hit nf advice which came from him. "JuBt try It and FOB WILLIAMSBURG HOSPITAL.

MARGARET BONNET, who departed this life April 27, at Brooklyn. N. Y. "lu our hearts she lives lor- vw." Judge Watson, as special deputy commls sloner In charge of Brooklyn, Beems to be explained by quiet Inquiries which havi. been conducted within the past few weeks by Investigators, said to be under the direction of Mr.

Farley. The object of the Farley Inquiry, It Is understood. Is to ascertain the qualifica tions, antecedents and the standing in the community of the various candidates who have been suggested for the vacant deputyshlp. Commissioner Farley's proceeding Is regarded as rather unique in political annals. In the past the Indorsement of the organization was regarded as a sufficient guarantee of a candidate's qualifications.

This ancient custom apparently has been abandoned by the new Democratic state administration. If reports are to be believed, Governor Dlx is the real iiiBtigator of the Investigation which is being made Into the Uvea and political history of the prospective successors of Judge Watson. The persistence which has been manifested by the investigators lu looking up the record of former Deputy Street cleaning Commissioner Owen J. Murpuy has created the Impression in political circles that the influence of the brooklyn Democratic organization la centered be hind the executive member of the Thir teenth Assembly District. The Eastern District has been the stamping ground of these Investigators for tlie past tew weeks.

Few prominent business men in that section of the borough nave Deen over looked by these Investigators. The char acter certificate seekers made no secret of the fact that they represented Commissioner Farley. The Eagle Is in the possession of the names of a number of well-known merchants on Grand street, who were Interviewed by the investigators. Every incident in Mr. Murphy's political career was carefully looked inio.

His standing among his neighbors and political friends and enemies also was inquired Into. The opinions of the business men were particularly sought as to Mr. Murphy's integrity and his qualifications to fill the position of Deputy Excise Commissioner. Naturally those from whom this in formation was sought were prompted by curiosity to seek the reasons for the Investigation. These sort of Inquiries always met with tho frank reply that the State Excise Department was guarding against the appointment of political hacks in important executive positions.

It is reported that certain district leaders In Brooklyn with candidates of their own, sought the influence of Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, when they discovered that Mr. McCooey, as the county leader, was backing the candidacy of the former deputy street cleaning commissioner. Some politicians are inclined to believe that the Tammany leader has not been playing fair with Mr. McCooey and that Tammany Influences have been brought to bear In behalf of these Brooklyn candidates with Commis sioner Farley.

They associated this fact with the mysterious investigation that has been going on In Brooklyn. SIX AFTER EXCISE JOB Farley Still Unable to Name Watson's Successor. Murphy, Heffernan, Ccrsa, Trudden, Westernacher and Byrne Candidates. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 27 With six candidates under consideration. State Excise Commissioner Farley has been unable to de-cldo upon a Brooklyn deputy excise commissioner.

The candidates include: Owen J. Murphy, William Heffernan, Andrew J. Corsa. Michael Trudden, Gottfried Westernacher and Michael Byrne. All of the candidates have been mentioned before for the appointment with the exception of Byrne, who Is said to be a salesman.

Commissioner Farley declines to state who recommended Byrne. On account of the hitch over the appointment of the deputy excise commissioner, Commissioner Farley has decided not to name the successors of Cashier Frlsbie and Secretary Lelch until the head of the office is selected. It wa3 expected that a choice would be decided on not later than yesterday, but for some reason, which Commissioner Farley does not care to explain, the Jobs are held on the abeyance. John H. McCooey came to Albany today principally to attend the dinner tonight of the Legislative Correspondents Association.

He immediately started out to find Farley. Before Mr. McCooey arrived the Commissioner told the reporters he had no appointment with the Brooklyn leader, and as he intended leaving Albany at once he may not have a chance to meet McCooey.

I 1 'y. 0 populace, who might come to see the flights with sacks of pop-corn and peanuts, and they expect to attract to the Garden City Estates only the most ex elusive of the exemplars and patrons of the art of flying. The opposition doubts whether any aviation field can be conducted on so idealistic a basis as Mr. Woodruff proposes.

There was. a meeting last night, at the clubhouse on the property of the Garden City Estates. Mr. Woodruff waa there, and outlined his plans to the thirty-five or forty people present. In order to preside over the meeting, Mr.

Woodruff canceled an engagement to participate In the reception to President Taft who came to town yesterday evening, which shows that his heart Is In the aero club project. Those Who Object to Club Will Hold Meeting. The majority of those present at tho meeting did not come forth In out-spoken oi pnlstinn to the aviation project. But twelve or thirteen men, who claim that the meeting was only called yesterday morning, and that therefore the majority of the citizens had no fair opportunity to consider the subject, voiced their opposition In open meeting. Among this con tinent, who will have another meeting soon and organize the opposition, were llliam H.

Holden, Warren F. Thummel, Dr. Sidney F. Willcox and W. H.

Soibert. It Is the contention of the opposition that when Gage Tarbell was president of the Garden City Estates It was represented to them that they should always be protected in the peace and quiet for which they had established themselves In their Long Island homes. Nearly all of the residents are men who are in business of one sort or another In Manhattan, and their primary object In going there was to get away from noise, crowds, confusion, dust, and hurley-burley. These objectionable features, they claim, will be brought to their very doors If an aviation field is established, and the value of their property will suffer In consequence. They have not yet formulated their plan of campaign.
