For a radius of ten miles, with a certain town as a center, there exist soil, climate and environment that produce the most toothsome chickens. Our chickens are bred to develop a large breast, small bone and plumpness when yeung. Much study was necessary to find the correct cross to accomplish this, but we found it. A mixture of corn, wheat, barley, buckwheat and Kaffir corn is ground together, cooked and made into cakes.

These cakes are mixed with milk and fad to the chickens five times daily. The chickens are kept confined in coops (warmed in winter), and are not allowed to roam. Three times weeldy we receive our supply. A'o cold storage. The chickens are tender, succulent and have a fine flavor.

Every chicken sold in the Clarendon is of this kind. We control the entire product, about 20,000 last year. No souvenirs, music or trading stamps go with them. They leave nothing to be desired. Come in and try one or take one home with you.

A widely traveled customer told us that he had never eaten a chicken like ours outside of Paris. JOHN HILL, Clarendon Hotel. Fifth Avenue and 35th Street HOLD HOSPITAL ELECTION UrooKlyn Society Mr. and Mrs. Omri Ford Hibbard ot 20 Monroe place have just announced the engagement of their daughter.

Courts Without Previous Notice to Parties to Be Enjoined. HOUSE FIGHTS SHY OF IT. members More Susceptible to Demands of Gompers and His Associates Than Are the Senators. Eagle Bureau. 608 Fourteenth Street.

Washington. February 10 No move has yet been made by the Senate or House to carry out Taft recommendation for a law limiting the power of Federal injunctions. A bill, which the President approves, is pending before Congress, however, and it Is being vigorously opposed by President Gompers and other labor leaders. The measure, which provides the features recommended by President Taft in his New York speech, was introduced iu the Senate by Mr. Crawford.

It is a brief bill covering only one page. It provides that the United States courls shall not. Issue any restraining order or injunction without previous notice to the, parties to be enjoined. The only excep tion to be made to this rule is wnen it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court that the delay necessary to give such notice and hearing would result in Irreparable injury to the complainant. Buch restraining orders shall not be issued until the court has written evidence that Immediate and irreparable Injury is likely to ensue to the complainant.

This finding is to be spread upon the minutes of the court. Injunctions issued Without notice are to expire within seven slays or within a less period If fixed Pi'esideTTart is right in declaring tha Mr. Gompers and the other labor leaders a-e not satisfied with this bill. The qu. tiou of Federal injunctions was issue In the ZTooZll paign and Gompers and all his fol lowers were lined up against the Taft tit mi.

The Democratic platform conceded ever -thing demanded by organized aboi In he way of limitations upon Federal injunctions and trial by Jury. 3 Secica Frank Morrison of te Amr -crinot3 position of his organization to the nd iB bill as follows and persons e'n" Xput's concerning rwhcrlnff would be issued est rrvir right to do. provided (here were no strike. We don't want to be enjoined, for instance, from persuading members to join unions or from the right of free movements on the street. "Tim provision in the administration measure that notice shall be given before an injunction is issued will provide very little remedy if the courts aro going to issue orders to prevent labor men from doing In periods of strikes what they have a legal right lo do at other times.

For Instance, in the eas-which resulted in the jail sentence of Mr. Gompers and myself we were furnished with nolice to appear.

seems lo feel that when the judges are required lo state in the injunction how the irreparable injury is threatened It will have the effect of stopping the issue of many restraining orders. The labor men do not hold this opinion." Inquiry at. the Onnitol brings nut the Information that an Injunction hill, along the lines suggested by President Tart, will be adopted bv the Senate without a great deal of difficulty. The rendition in the House is believed to be different. Ttoubt is expressed as to whether or nol the administration measure can be put through.

The members of the House are more susceptible to the demands of the labor leaders and rather than enact a bill which Gompers and his associates are openlv denouncing It Is likely that many of the members would prefer nothing at all. chairman Parker of the Judiciary Committee shows no desire lo hasten action nn this measure in his committee. He hasTiiade no move lo provide a hearinf; eilber on the administration hill or tho Wilson bill, which represents tho demands of labor. On the other hand, some Republican members who formerly bad greal respec for the political power of organized labor, take the position that they have been misled as to the vote-getting influence oT Gompers. It is pointed out th.it organized labor had things all Us way during the last Presidential campaign.

Members of Association Gather at Annual Meeting.

Work of Year Reviewed and Plans Are Made to Aid Many in Future. The Brooklyn Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association held Its regular annual meeting last night, at 62 Jorale-inon street, and elected the officers and members of committees who shall serve during the ensuing year. With the exception of George H. Fisher, who resigned, all the officers and committees remain unchanged, being unanimously chosen last night to continue their Incumbency. The good work accomplished last year by the association was lengthily dis-cussod and elaborate plans were made for the continuance of this labor.

It is expected that this year's work will eclipse all previous ctiorts in caring for the poverty-stricken sick. Notwithstanding that the, day appointed for the hospital collections all the churches of this borough was exceedingly stormy, the proceeds netted about During the past year among eighteen hospitals the association has, patterns have been cared for. The oilicers and committees elected are as follows: President, William C. Low, Vlco the Kev. Mason Clarke.

THREE CHILDREN DIE IN MYSTERIOUS BLAZE Origin of Fire Puzzles Police, and Several Tenement Houses Are Endangered. MEANS OF ESCAPE BLOCKED. Horror-Stricken Mothers See Bodies of Little Ones Brought From Dwelling.

A fire, which occurred in the rear of the ground floor of a big four story double tenement at 102 Clay street late yesterday afternoon, resulted In the loss of three lives, Michael Schim, 2 years old; his 4-year-old brother, Frank, and Catherine Craig, 5 years old. Several other occupants of the building were overcome by Bmoke. The damage is set at $4,000. The origin of the blaze Is the thing that is vexing the police and the fire officials. Policeman Mattes of the Green-point avenue station was the first lo discover the Are.

when he saw smoke pouring out of the lower portion of the tenement, while he was at Manhattan avenue and Clay street. He turned in an alarm and then rushed into the burning building and started to get the families out. In the meantime, Samuel Busch of 242 South First street and Joseph Posik, who lives at 90 North Fifth street, who were working in the neighborhood, made their way through the hall to the rear of the first flat, from where great clouds of thick smoke were streaming. They made efforts to get Into the rooms occupied by the Schlm family. The door was tightly locked, but the men finally broke it down, but could not enter the place, as flames poured out and drove the two out Into the rear yard.

Mother Seeks to Save Children. After the firemen had been working for several minutes a woman was seen making a frantic effort to get down to the scene of the Are from Manhattan avenue and several policemen held her back. She could not speak English coherently but. made herself understood to Captain Coleman of the Greenpoint station, saying that her I wo ehlldreu were locked in the first floor. She was Mrs.

Bertha Schim. The woman had put the youngsters to bed for their afternoon nap and gone to the store for provisions for supper, locking the door as she went out. A squad of firemen were sent in the room by Deputy Fire Chief Lally and came back with the news that the two little ones were burned to a crisp. They were wrapped in blankets and put in the patrol wagon. Soon after the discovery of the Schim children, Mrs.

Anna Craig, who occupied rooms on (he third floor, told Captain Coleman that her .) year old daughter Catherine was missing. A search of her rooms was made but the child could not be found. It w-as thought that she was watching the blaze from somewhere In the crowd. The mother felt thankful when the news reached her, but fiuddenly a fireman railed from the roof that he had picked up a child on the stairs leading to the roof. Mrs.

Craig said that she was alone in her flat with Catherine and started for the roof when she heard the err of Are. She took the child hy the hand and made for the stairs Then she became bewildered and unconsciously let go of the girl's hand. When found the little one was lying on the stairs, face downward, with her little' hands clutching the carpet. Flames Spread Witl rapidity. When the form of the Cu.lg child enrried in a hlanket from the house to the patrol wagon, the mother was standing on the stoop of 14 Clay street with her son.

William, 11. and Margaret. S. The sight of the bundle caused Mrs. Craig to let out a shriek and she fell to tho sidewalk.

She was picked up and carried into the rooms of a neighbor. After the first alarm had been turned In the flames spread very quickly, there being a draft formed by the open door that led to the roof and the one to the street. This made it very eaisy for the entire hall to be wiped out. The building is in the center of three of the same kind, and all are owned by Aldermnu Thomas Barton. The two adjoining tenements were only damaged by water.

Most of the blaze was confined to the rear of the building, which Is totally destroyed. An investigation is being mnde to find the cause of the lire. COLORED DEMOCRATS ELECT.

DONNELLY DEAD. Was a Well-Known Actor and Manager. Henry V. Donnelly," once a well-known actor, and later manager of the Murray Hill Theater, at Forty-second street and Lexington avenue, Manhattan, died at his home in the Keystone apartments, One Hundred and Forty-fifth street and Broadway, last night from Bright's disease. Mr.

Donnelly was a son of Thomas Lester Donnelly, former manager of the Grand Theater. The team of Donnelly and Glrard made i I so 1 well known years ago in "Natural Gas" and "Tho Rainmakers." Later Mr. Donnelly appeared with Henry Miller In "The Family" and his last appearance was with Hattie Williams In "The Little Cherub." He was a brother of Justice Thomas F. Donnelly of the City Court. He was born In Dayton, forty-eight years ago.

Marcy and Jefferson avenues, will give a dramatic entertainment to-morrow evening In the church entitled "A Stubborn Automobile." The cast is nurely home talent. The class has departed from its usual custom, and this time tnree young women ot ine Sunday school will take part. APOLLO CLUB CONCERT.

An Excellent Programme Under John Hyatt Brewer at the Academy of Music. The second concert of the Apollo Club at the Academy last night provided an excellent programme, with much of the stirring music appropriate for men's voices, and which the Apollo sings with so much dash and spirit. The best of these numbers was a "Cossack War Song," by Horatio Parker, In which the composer gets his effects without at all trying to reinforce in tho tone of his chorus particular phrases of the text. He takes his text as a whole, as a march Into battle, and he gets the war spirit by emphasizing the martial rhythms and by building up choral war cries without regard to the particular words which sung to them. But both the rhythm 'and the harmonies are Buperb, and the Apollo sang it so finely last night that It had to be repeated.

Another fine effect was made at the close with the old Welsh "Men of Harlech," which Mr. Brewer had adapted for men's voices. An ingenious diversion was "The Legend of Heinz Von Stein in which a comic song was set to themes from "Die Walkure" with much cleverness. The smaller numbers included MacDowell's "Hush. Hush." and Mr.

Brewer's "Tender Stars in Heaven," both sung with most delicate shading, and a jolly vocal "stunt" in Gounod's "Sword Dance." The soloists were Pearl Benedict, contralto, and Bessie Bell Collier, a favorite violinist in this city. Miss Benedict has a beautiful contralto voice of unusual evenness of quality through Its wide range, perhaps because she does not force the volume of lone on her lower notes. She sang two of the old Italian arias. "Ah Rendimi" and "Lungi Dal Caro Bene," with the breadth and beauty of tone which they require, and two modern things, a "Morning Hymn." by Henschel, and a "Happy Song." by Del RW-go, with charming grace and expressiveness. Her most pronounced hit.

however, was made in an encore song, a setting by William Armour Thayer of Amelle Rives' imitation Scotch song, "My Laddie." She had to repeat the last verse of that pretty thing. Miss Collier played beautifully, as always, but with more of the breadth and certainly ot the mature artists than she used to have. Nothing could have been more lovely than her playing of an "Air" by Karl Goldmark. of a solo made from the "Dreams" of "Tristan and Isolde." which she used as an encore, or of the "Meditation" from "Thai-." Her more showv numbers were a "Bohemian Dance." by Rantlegger, and the "Polonaise," by Wleniawski, which served to show'her thorough mastery of the technic of her Instrument. Her strongest gift, however.

Is her tine and true feeling for sentiment. Tho audience was large, modish and justifiably enthusiastic. CAPITOL SCANDAL FATALITIES. liurrisburL'.

MIGHT ACCEPT OLD DUTCH.

Citizens of Section Opposed to Rhythmical Sound of "Hiawatha" and Following the example of their neighbors in Prospect Park South, the residents of Manhattan Terrace, members of the Flatbush Board ot Trade, at a meeting held In the Manhattan Terrace Field Club, Ocean, and avenues, last night, suggested the changing of the lettered streets from avenue" to through that section. W'hlle several of the more esthetic thought the change would add to the dignity of the location, there were others who opposed the scheme, primarily on the ground that the names suggested were too "English" and secondly that the old style is "good enough to please the majority of taxpayers." Walter B. Brown, the secretary of the club, Is responsible for a lengthy discussion that ensued over the propundiug of the idea. He presented the proposed changes and he searched geography, history and directory to obtain the variety of names submitted. Mr.

Brown argued that the letters from A to had been changed such as Albemarle road for Avenue Beverley road for Avenue and so forth. "What I propose," said Mr. Brown, Is to call Avenue Hiawatha road, Avenue Ivanhhe road; Avenue Jarvis or Jardyst road, and so on until Avenue will have been reached." Some of the members thought It would be interesting to hear the contemplated changes of all the streets, and they asked Mr. Brown to submit the entire change he suggests. This is a list in full, excepting the three already named: Avenue Kenwood road; Avenue Lancaster or Leicester road; Avenue McICInley road; Avenue N.

Nottingham road; Avenue Oglethorpe road; Avenue P. Pearv road; Avenue Q. Quentin road (after young Roosevelt); Avenue R. Roosevelt road; Avenue S. Stanwood or Springfield road; Avenue Tippecanoe' road; Avenue Underwood road: Avenue Victoria road; Avenue Wilhclmina road; Avenue Xerxes road; Avenue Y.

Yarmouth road, and Avenue Zundel road, the last named in honor of the famous organist to Henry Ward Beecher. Dr. Fred Higgins, without losing any time, Interposed an objection. He said he regarded the names as entirely too foreign, and particularly English. "This is America, and I am sure we have enough American patriots and eminent citizens and cities after which the names of streets could be termed.

If any foreign names are to be Introduced into Flatbush they should at least be Dutch, as this town was originally a Dutch one." There were others present, however, who favored the Idea of changing the names of the streets and adopting the ones submitted by Mr. Brown. President Herbert G. Andrews joined In the discussion and he informed tho member that It is true that many streets names in Flatbush have been changed without the proper authority, and that it is a misdemeanor to place a wrong name lo a street on a sign. "With the exception of Prospect Park South, many sections of Flatbush violate this law." said Mr.

Andrews. Tho members wnnted to know just how far a motion to change the names of Ihc streets would go. anf1 rtrown made a motion lo the effect the lettered streets and avenues be tnged and names be Inserted instead. The motion was put to voe and was lost. So ended the esthetic future of Manhattan Terrace.

A mntlon was then made hat the executive committee sec that the named or numbered streets that should be lettered as intended be changed to their proper character that is. back to letters or numbers again. For example, that Glen-wood road lie changed to Avenue G. as intended, or that Kenmore place be changed to East Twenty-first street, as intended it should be. The executive committee will see that the law regarding this matter be enforced.

Prospect Park South Is exempt. Mr. Brown told the members about the Flatbush Joint Subway committee meeting held on Monday, and he expressed a hope for a subway In Flatbush In the near future. Dr. Higgins favors the automobile engines for Flatbush.

He believes Flatbush will have one in 'the new building on Avenue O. Elwln S. Piper said he understood there are several nuto-engines under construction; that they ore to be sent to the suburbs, and that Flatbush is to have at least one of them. The Neighborhood Association, after Ihc plan of the Prospect Park South Association, is making for progress and will soon be a certainty la the Manhattan Terrace section. J'r r-.
