CHILDS OUT, CRANE TO MANAGE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL SERVICE Former Expects to Be Out of Town- Judge Accepts Chairmanship. William Hamlin Childs has resigned as chairman of the Roosevelt Memorial Service Committee, which is to hold a memorial service at the Academy of Music on the evening of February 9. Mr. Childs was appointed lat the head of the committee by Borough, President Riegelmann, who to. day announced that Judge Frederick E.

Crane of the Court of Apepals had been asked to take the chairmanship and has accepted the position. Mr. Childs, in his letter of resignation to the Borough President, gave as a reason that he expects to be out of town on the date of the service and would be difficult for him to handle the preliminary arrangements for the event. An imposing program has been ar. ranged for the Roosevelt memorial, and it is the expectation that the meeting will be the largest and most impressive held anywhere in the country, Mr.

Childs' letter to the Borough President was as follows: My Dear Mr. Riegelmann--I desire to thank you for the confidence expressed by you in your appointment of me as Chairman of the Roosevelt Memorial Service at the Academy Music on the evening of February 9. 1 find, however, that upon my return from the South. it is very probable that it will not be possible for me to be in the city on February 9, and it will be very difficult for me to handle the preliminary arrangements properly for such a memorial service. I must ask you, therefore, with much regret, to release met rom thia appointment.

If I am in the city on February 9 I certainly shall be glad to attend the service. Trusting that this will not too greatly inconvenience you in this matter, I am, very truly yours, WILLIAM HAMLIN CHILDS. Mr. Riegelmann today sent the following reply: January 28, 1919. My Dear Mr.

Childs: I have before me your letter of January 27, stating that you expect to be out of the city on February 9 and it will be dimcult for you to properly handle the preliminary arrangements of the proposed Roosevelt Memorial Service which is planned to be held at the Academy of Music on Sunday evening, February 9. I regret that you find it impossible to act as chairman, and wish to assure you in accepting your declination that I appreciate the work which you have thus far been able to do. I earnestly hope that the memorial service will be a fitting and appropriate service for our late President whom we all honor. Yours very truly, EDWARD RIEGELMANN.

NORTH SHORE LINE WILL KEEP RUNNING Talked of Suspending Because It Couldn't Get Increased Fare--Now Making Improvements, The New York and North Shore Traction Company which threatened to suspend operation of its lines in Queens borough unless the Board of Estimate approved the application for an increase in its rate of fare from five cents to seven cents, and went so far. as to set a. date when the cars would cease running, has decided to continue in business, it was learned tor day, although the company's hope an increased fare has been crushed. This company operates a trolley system Queens borough and also in Nassau county, its lines within the city extending from Flushing, to the city line, and from Whitestone Landing.

Facts as to its finances submitted by the company. to the Public Service Commission convinced the latter that the proposed increase in rate of fare was lustified. Commissioner Travis H. Whitney, wrote the opinion in the case, found that "the company's income is not sufficient to meet the various items in the cost of operation to which a street railroad is entitled, such as operating expenses, maintenance and depreciation, and afford a reasonable return on the value of the property used." However, Mr. Whitney recommended that the company's application for permission to charge an increased fare be denied by the Commission "until such time as the City of New York has removed the constitutional barrier to the granting thereof." The Commission mously approved Commissioner Whitney's opinion.

When it became quite clear that the Board of Estimate would not remove the "constitutional barrier," that is, agree: to a modification of the comfranchise contract which stipulates a 5-cent fare, the company offered to sell its property to the city under an arrangement that would net the company 6 per cent. on a sum equal to a fair valuation, to be determined by arbitrators. This proposition was thoroughly considered the Finance Committee of the Board of Estimate. Some of the city officials, favored the purchase of the trolley systern, but influential ones were opposed to it on the ground that it would be a bad ginning for municipal ownership and operation of transit lines to acquire a road which was admittedly moribund. As a matter of fact George A.

Stanley, president of the company, had urged the Board of Estimate to take early action on the fare question because "the critical revenue condition of the company calls for speedy relief if eration is to continue." Not only does the company intend to continue the operation its Queens lines at the present rate of fare, but it is improving its plant, according to a statement a representative of the company has made to the Public Service Commission, which is now investi- gating. service conditions on the lines in question. The Commission was informed that much needed repairs to the company's powerhouses were now under way. INJURED IN CORNELL RUSH (Special to The Eagle.1 Binghamton, N.

The following statement was issued at the headquarters of the Atlantic Division of the American Red Cross: "So far as is known here, the bodies of the Cromwell sisters are not on the Lorraine, which is due today. A Red Cross ambulance will meet the Lorraine in response to a request from the authorities, but we assume that this is to take care of someone who is ill aboard the vessel. We understand that some of the personal effects of the Cromwell sisters are being brought here on the Lorraine, and that the family has made arrangements to take these effects from the vessel."

28-3 ZUCKER IS RELEASED; RAISES $15,000 BAIL Convicted Dentist Free, Pending Hearing Before Supreme Court on 15-Year Sentence. Morris Zucker, the Brownsville dentist, is a free man today, following his release late yesterday afternoon by United States Commissioner Felix Reifschneider Jr. on a bond of 000, furnished by the Maryland Casualty Company. Zucker and his wife immediately left the Federal Building and went to the Zucker al home, at 468 Saratoga ave. Only his sisterin-law, Esther Manus, accompanied the Zuckers, Thus ended the fight by Louis Boudin, counsel, to secure Zucker's release on bail pending the result of his appeal to the United States Supreme Court from the constitutionality of the Espionage Act, under which he was convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

United States Supreme Court Justice Brandeis ordered Zucker's release on bail last Thursday afternoon, but he was not permitted his liberty by Judge Edwin L. Garvin here because of the failure of counsel to produce necessary legal record of the action of the highest court. Boudin last Saturday had Washington telephone Prosecutor France's office that the release had been ordered. But the bail bond then offered, secured by Brownsville real estate, on which Zucker was liberated following his arrest, was objected to by Assistant Prosecutor Charles J. Buchner.

The bond offered last night was approved by Judge Garvin, DR. J. M. FARRAR ILL The Rev. Dr.
