Actual payment of five of the claims against stockholders of the defunct Borough Bank of Brooklyn has finally been made to the State Banking Department. The payments amount to $41,458.09, which will be divided among the depositors, the biggest of the settlements being those of Thomas F.

Martin, who paid over $19,182.95, and Herman A. Metz, who paid $12,756.87. Martin owned 170 and Metz 113 shares of the Borough Bank stock. Other settlements were made by John Dias, R. J.

Cuddihy, $5,427.88, and Seth Sprague Terry, $1,143.46. The payments represented the full amount of the judgment against the stockholders for their holdings, with 40 per cent. of the interest charged up against them in full by the Court was first made. To I prevent further from the date demand for payment litigation and costs in this action, which has been dragging through the courts for the past five years, Banking Superintendent George I. Skinner accepted the compromise with the approval of Supreme Court Justice Callaghan.

Similar applications made by Warren T. Diefendorf and Louisa Diefendorf, the judgments against whom amount to $2,521.46 and $807.24, respectively, have also been granted and applications made by John J. Fitzgerald, the former Congressman; Michael F. Gleason and Patrick Quinn are pending. The total of these payments will amount to $7,886.52.

The judgments against Fitzgerald and Gleason amount $1,143.46 apiece against Quinn to $2.270.92. The payment marks the final victory for the depositors in their fight, waged by the Banking Department, to compel the stockholders to assume liability up to the amount of their holdings. Judgment for $110,000 against 70 stockholders of the defunct bank was awarded the Banking Superintendent last May by Callaghan. Interest and costs materially increased this amount. Justice Callaghan in the Supreme Court, who has supervised the liquidation of the Borough Bank and who recently awarded a big judgment against its shareholders, has granted permission to Herman A.

Metz, for- mer Congressman John J. Fitzgerald, Patrick H. Quinn, John Dais and Michael F. Gleason, of the bank's best known stockholders, to settle the judgments ordered against them for the full amount with a slice of the interest deducted. In the petition asking Justice Callaghan to approve this settlement, Banking Superintendent Skinner declared that some of the stockholders had appealed on the question of interest and this compromise would save expense and avoid further delay.

The capital of the Borough Bank was $200.000. divided into 2.000 shares of $100 each. In 1913 the Superintendent of Banks determined that in order to pay the liabilities of the institution it was necessary to enforce the liability of the individual stockholders. Decision was reached that each stockholder was to be assessed $100, or the par value, for each share of stock held. The plans of the Department resulted in the collection of $88,000 from 893 shares of stock, and suit was then commenced against the remaining stockholders.

From information which has reached the Banking Department within the past few days, it is understood that many more stockholders are on the point of paying up. OBITUARY MRS.

C. Augustus Haviland of 403 Grand. for many years one of the most prominent business men and civic workers in Brooklyn, died this morning at his residence, in his 86th year. Mr. Haviland's death came after four months of excruciating ca pain that resulted from an accident in which his hip was broken.

He was riding on a small conductorless trolley car on May 24 last, from the depot at Asbury Park, N. to his hotel, when he was thrown from his seat to the aisle of the car as it swiftly rounded a curve. His hip was broken in the fall, and as soon as he was able to be moved at all he was brought back to his home in Brooklyn, where he died. The funeral services will be held at Mr. Haviland's late home on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.

Mr. Hayiland 15 survived by two sons, Charles A. Haviland and Edward W. Haviland; a grandson, Howard R. Haviland, and a granddaughter, Miss Edna Haviland.

C. Augustus Haviland, lawyer, real estate man, poet, philosopher and traveller, was born at 133 Prince New York City, on November 23, 1832, and was educated in the public schools of New York City. He changed his residence' to Poughkeepsie, N. in 1847, and in that city studied law with Dodge Campbell, and with Jackson Wilkinson, being admitted to the Bar on June 5, 1854. Mr.

Haviland practiced law in Poughkeepsie for three years, and went to Iowa in 1857, where he practised law until 1868, when he went to Chicago to continue his profession in that city. He came back to this city in 1876 and with his sons. Edward W. and Charles established the real estate and law office at 982 Fulton at the corner of Grand where the firm has been active ever since. A Leader in Civic Work.

Mr. Haviland had during his long residence in Brooklyn always been foremost in movements for bettering the transit facilities of the borough. He was a strong advocate of ways before they were built; he fought for years against the "dead end" system of slow train switching on the Brooklyn Bridge, in later years land he wrote, argued and opposed 'in every way possible the proposed third tracking of the Fulton st. elevated. Some of the large civic movements in which Mr.

Haviland was most active were the enactment of a law which exempts portions of Grand, Classon and Franklin aves. from elevated railroad structures; the veto by Governor Hill of a 10 cent fare bill for elevated railroads in Brooklyn; the contest of the right of a telephone company to erect poles in son and the removal of poles, by court order, between Lafayette ave. and Monroe the assurance of 92 per cent. of their deposits to depositors of the Commercial Bank, and obtaining decisions from the Court of Appeals declaring unconstitutional the law authorizing the Long Island Railroad to use the surface of Atlantic ave. for railroad trains.

In 1912 Mr. Haviland proposed the establishment of a motor omnibus line in the streets of Brooklyn, but gave it up on account of the attitude of the Public Service Commission and the Board of Estimate. He was a continual "thorn in the side" of the Public Service Commission on matters pertaining to transit facilities in Brooklyn, and on many occasions took his pen in hand to denounce actions of the B. R. T.

in public print. He was watchful for improvements in transit and used all his legal acumen pose any step that he considered? backward one. Mr. Haviland was a stanch Democrat, a strong backer of the late Justice William J. Gaynor in his winning fight for Mayor of New York City, and of Governor Woodrow Wilson in his campaign for President of the United States.

He denounced the foes who called Mr. Wilson a dreamer, and predicted that his campaign promises would be carried out to the letter. Crossed Atlantic 23 Times. Mr. Haviland was a veteran traveler, having finished his twenty-third trip across the Atlantic Ocean and back on July 25, 1914.

He began making annual trips abroad in his 62d year, and always while in Europe he sent back letters to The Eagle, giving his impressions of things abroad, and particularly of transit lines in the big cities. His observations abroad made him a warm advocate of government ownership and control of all transit companies, As a poet, Mr. Haviland wrote many fine poems, some under the nom de plume of Frank Myrtle, most of which have been published in The Eagle at various times, and he was the author of a book of poems entitled "A Lawyer's Idle Hours." He gave a dinner to a number of his old-time friends at the Brighton Beach Hotel in celebration of his 60th anniversary as a lawyer. Mr. Haviland married Miss Alletta Maria Ranche, daughter of Abraham B.

and Ana R. Rapelje, on February 20. 1856, and they enjoyed fifty-five years of uppy married life until Mrs. Havilant. died 011 November 19, 1910.

They had celebrated their golden wedding at their home in Brooklyn in 1906. Mrs. Haviland was a descendant from the early Dutch settlers of New York, and was born in Wallkill, N. Y. Mr.

Haviland, after his wife's death, quit his home at 385 Classon where he had lived for upward of thirty-two years, and took up his restdence with his son. Edward W. Haviland, at 403 Grand ave. When the Real Estate Exchange was organized in March, Haviland became a director and its secretary, and was re-elected in December. 1890; but during the past twenty years much of his time has been devoted to travel and to public affairs.

Mr. Haviland's ancestor, William Haviland, lived in Pettaquanscott, R. in 1653, and Long Island in 1667. settling on what was then known 2.5 Mad Nan's Neck, Flushing. He one of the signers of the confirmation of the patent of Flushing.

CROPSEY CRITICISES ENRIGHT; ORDERS HIM TO RETIRE LT. JONES Commissioner's Attitude in Failing to Heed Surgeons' Report Unjustified, Court Holds. Criticising Police Commissioner Enright for ignoring the report of six police surgeons, Justice Cropsey, in the Supreme Court today ordered the Commissioner to retire Lt. William Jones, pistol-shot and firearm expert of the department, on a pension. Jones, who has been a member of the Police Department for more than 31 years, applied for retirement on a half-pay pension and the Commissioner ordered him before three surgeons.

They reported that he was afflicted with paralysis agitans, but the Commissioner refused to heed the report and when a second application for retirement came, Jones was ordered before three other surgeons, who made findings similar to those of the first three. Still the Commissioner refused to act. The mandamus proceeding was then brought. attitude of the Police Commissioner is wholly said Justice Cropsey in his memorandum. "If he has any proof that warrants a belief that the police surgeons designated by him have falsely certified to the relator's disability he should promptly prefer charges against the' surgeons and have them removed.

But as the certificates have been made cannot be ignored. And as it has they held that the provision of the charter in question makes it mandatory upon the Police Commissioner to grant pensions when the provisions of the section are met, it follows that the relator must be pensioned. "It is no concern of the commissioner or of the courts as to what the relator contemplates doing if he is pensioned. That the Police Department of the City will lose one of its most valuable members is beyond question. The skill, efficiency and general availability is generally known and has come under the personal observation of this court.

But the police surgeons certify that he is permanently incapacitated from rendering police duty and these certificates determine the action to be taken." Justice Cropsey also awarded Lt. Jones $50 costs. For some months Lt. Jones has been aiding the United States Government with his expert knowledge in supervising experiments with small and great arms, gunpowder and explosives and the Police Commissioner declared that Jones was seeking retirement just so he could work for the Government.

Attorney General Gregory today notified Attorney Melville Section FederalanDistrinat 4 of the President's Proclamation of April 5, 1917, requiring permits for aliens within half -mile distance of forts, encampments, manufactories and places of mobilization or entrainment of troops, shall be extended so as to include German women after midnight of October 5. This intelligence was communicated to United States Marshal Power's office by the prosecutor and steps were immediately taken to prepare for the issuance of permits to the women. This work, unlike that of registration of the women, which was done by the police, will fall, probably, wholly on the staff of Marshal Power. Irving Rothschild, Deputy United States Marshal in charge of the Enemy Alien Bureau for the Eastern District of the Federal Court, said today that he has registered 15,000 German women. All of these must be given permits of they wish to travel about the city because of the frequency with which they must invade restricted zones.

Along the waterfront, past the 100-yard dead line, no German woman will be permitted, with without a pass. This rule has long been enforced against German men. The new ruling will result in a watch being placed on every German woman in the borough. Whether the drastic decision of the Attorney General was impelled by propaganda activity or spy work on the part of German women could not be learned. Several women have recently been arrested as suspected German agents and this may have brought about the decision.

The women will be allowed to travel in common carriers, such as taxicabs, steet cars or subways, that invade restricted areas. But, as the half-mile area is enforced about every manufactory engaged on Government work, it will be the plan of Marshal Power's office to get every German woman, for her own sake, to secure a pass. The wife of every German, irrespective of American birth. is a German subject in the eyes of the law and must have such permit to escape arrest. Those taken into custody may be interned.

IS YOUR FURNACE CLEANED? This is "Clean the Furnace Day," designated by the Fuel Administration to remind all householders that proper cleaning of all heating plants before winter fires are started will do much to help in the conservation of coal. The fuel authorities state that one-one-hundredth of an inch of soot has great power to resist heat. Fuel Administrator Frederic E. Gunnison said that much interest was being taken in the day and that many householders had telephoned his office to inquire about methods of furnace-cleaning. "It will help a great deal," said Mr.

Gunnison, "if Brooklynites will do their part in these small things. If you haven't cleaned your furnace do SO today and tell you neighbor to do the same thing."

H. Edwards. ASKS FOR HER PAY FOR SOLDIER SON Mrs. Jennie Goldstein Says She Has Received Only 3 Allotments-Money Is Needed. Mrs.

Jennie Goldstein of Ellery st. has been vainly trying to find an explanation as to why the allotment of $15 per month made by her son, Pvt. Jacob Goldstein, in France with Co. 106th does not come to her. Another son, Corp.

Al Goldstein, in France with the Headquarters 55th C. A. made her a similar allotment, which arrives regularly. Jacob enlisted in July, 1917, at the age of 19, and made the usual allotment to his mother, who is a widow and in need of her sons' support. Since then she has received only three allotments.

A letter recently addressed to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance at Washington brought a reply to the effect that checks for voluntary allotment previously sent from that office would no longer come from there, and that notice of the discontinuance had been sent to the enlisted man, who, if he desired to colttinue it, could do so through the Quartermaster General's Office, WashingD. C. The reply added that further correspondence concerning the matter should be addressed to the enlisted man or to the above office. Mrs. Goldstein has written to both and has enlisted the services of the Red Cross in helping her untangle the matter.

A letter from Pvt. Goldstein a week or two AgO informed her that he is well and in good spirits: FOWNES In leather, fur, silk or fabric, the name Fownes is a guarantee of quality, since 1777. Fownes sets the Standard in style, fit and service; for Military and Civilian requirements. At the Principal Shops The name is always in FOWNES the glove. American has produced FILOSETTE surpassing any imported fabric TO DROP MANY MEN ON BORO PAY ROLL Riegelmann Finds Several Bu- reaus Too Crowded-Result of War.

Reductions in the staffs of several of the bureaus under Borough President Riegelmann will be made about the first of next year as the result of war conditions. Most of these cuts A in the pay roll will effect bureaus having to do with construction work in some form and will very likely include a number of high paid engineers in the Sewer and Topographical bureaus and a large number of inspectors in the Bureau of Buildings. The extent of the cuts has not yet been determined. The question will be taken up for consideration by Mr. Riegelmann when he his recommendations for budgetary' appropriations.

The effect which war conditions have had on building is given at Borough Hall as the reason for the preposed cuts. It is pointed out that, in the first place, the Government's restrictions--both as to the use of steel and the use of labor in work that is not absolutely and pressingly essential even though it is work of a public nature--have effected curtailments in street and sewer work so extensive that the present staffs in the Sewer and Topographical bureaus do not have anywhere near enough work to keep them going. Secondly, the same Government restrictions and its policy of discouraging private building for the purpose of conserving labor and materials for war work has so reduced the amount of private building that the inspection staff of the Bureau of Buildings is much too large for the amount of work to be done. There are now about 120 employees in this bureau, of whom sixty or more, it is declared, are holding places as inspectors. Since the war began in 1915 building operations have fallen off 50 per per cent.

within the past year, or since the United States entered the struggle. The reductions in the inspection and engineering staffs which are under contemplation affect largely men holding places in the competitive civil service. In large part they are the same men particularly those who have been holding places as engineers -who were affected by the wholesale decapitation order issued by Mr. Riegelmann last February. That edict was annulled after it had been shown that the question of selecting who was to be dismissed and who was to be retained had been submitted to Democratic district leaders.

The suggestion has been made that the Borough President make up a list of the men slated, to go along with the special qualifications of each, and send it to the Federal authorities at Washington, thus permitting the Government itself to have first call on the services of these men.

SCHOOL BOARD ASKS CITY FOR. $3.565.000 TO RAISE SALARIES Retirement Board and Health Commissioner Need More Help-Board of Estimate Refers Appeals to Committees. At the meeting of the Board of Estimate today the Board of Education requested an appropriation of 500,000 to enable it to put into effect revised schedules providing for increases in the salaries of teachers, and an appropriation of $65,000 to provide for increases in the salaries of members of the administrative staff and the clerical force of the Education Board--both sums to be included in the 1919 Budget. Both requests were referred to the Committee on Finance and Budget. Within the past few months the Board of Education has repeatedly asked the Board of Estimate to give permission for the filling of a number of vacancies in the working force of the Teachers Retirement Board.

Yesterday the Board of Estimate got another, reminder president of regarding the this Board mat- of Education sent word that unless the request was acted upon favorably without further delay, the work of the Retirement Board in bringing up to date its pension statistics would fall "hopelessly behind and that great confusion will result therefrom." The matter was placed in the hands of the committee on salaries and grades. The Board of Education also requested the Board of Estimate to thorize an issue of corporate stock for the purpose of acquiring two additional school sites, already selected, one adjoining Public School No. 80, Brooklyn, and the other Public School No. 30, in Richmond. The Board of Education furthen requested that immediate action be taken as to the acquisition of property adjoining Public School No.

144, Brooklyn. Chief Engineer Lewis reported that this proposed new school site is located on the northerly side of Prospect place, 200 feet west of Howard ave. He stated that title to the Prospect place had been legally acquired and that the project was consistent with the city plan. These matters were referred to the Committee on Finance and the Controller. Health Commissioner Also Needs Help.

Health Commissioner Copeland asked for permission to fill vacancies in the position of inspectors, nurses, clerks, etc. He said his deparment could not perform its work efficiently unless vacant positions were filled as soon as they occurred whenever he had an opportunity to secure the services of needed employees, instead of having to wait for a formal certificate to be issued, especially in view 'of the fact that the Board of Estimate had already decided number of positions to be allowed the Department of Health. Murray Hulbert, Director of the Port and Commissioner of Docks, told the board that he needed $33,000 for the construction of a landing pier for the deposit and distribution of ashes on the meadows between Barren Island and Moll Basin, Jamaica Bay. The material is to be delivered in that locality under a contract awarded by the Commissioner of Street Cleaning for the disposal of refuse. The matter was referred to the Committee on Finance and Budget.

In a communication from the War Department, Bureau of Aircraft Production, the board was notified that the Long Island Railroad Company, acting for the United States Government, would apply for a franchise for a track across Review in addition' to the track now used by the Federal Government, and also ask for the right to install a track across Reave. for the National Bridge Works. The Bureau of Aircraft Production has secured the property across the street, from the National Bridge Works, and has made arrangements for the use of the present track of the company across Review ave. To carry on the business of the Bridge Works, the board was informed, it is absolutely necessary that the company should have another track across the street. The board will probably grant the request.

Director of the Port Hulbert informed the board that had received a communication from the secof retary the State of New York, stating that of. the Conference of Mayors the conference has voted to oppose the taxing of all future issues of municipal bonds as proposed by the Federal authorities.
