DR. KIDD TO LEAVE Rev. Harry K. Miller Now at South Third St. When He Was 13.

IS NOT YET 28 YEARS OLD Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal Church, through a committee of the official board, has called to its pastorate one of the youngest men in the New York East Conference and the youngest pastor that has ever been minister at Hanson Place--the Rev. Harry Knight Miller, now pastor of the South Third Methodist Episcopal Church. He has accepted the invitation, subject to the appointment by Bishop Luther B. Wilson at the sessions of the conference in New Britain, beginning April 10. The Rev.

Mr. Miller is 27 years old. The Rev. Dr. William H.

Kidd, the present pastor of Hanson Place Church, notified the official board two months ago that he did not desire to return at the beginning of the next conference. The relations of the people to Dr. Kidd a are harmonious. He has been pastor three years. Kidd When would it not became return known a that committee of the Official Board was appointed to secure his successor.

This committee was composed of Benjamin F. Bates, chairman; Simon J. Harding, William Kennedy, H. Kelly, C. F.

Halsted, Dr. William H. Johnston and James L. Utter. The committee only considered one name, that of Mr.

Miller, and Bishop Wilson and Superintendent A. S. Kavanagh of the Brooklyn South District, were consulted. Dr. Kavanagh approved the call, and Bishop Wilson will make his known at the time of the appointments at conference.

The Rev. Mr. Miller's first pastorate was in Lucasville, Ohio, when he was 16 years old, but he preached his first sermon at Ocean Grove. N. when he was 13.

His first regular pastorate in the New York East Conference was at the South Church in Waterbury, where in a vear and a half of pastorate he doubled the membership of the church. He is now closing his second year in the South Third Street Church. He is the son of the Rev. Charles E. Miller, one of the best-known Methodist preachers of his day, who died in 1898 while pastor of the De Kalb Avenue Church.

Mr. Miller is a good deal of a musician, and has done much in this line in making church services more attractive. He is also a strong evangelistic preacher, and will no doubt adapt the services largely through new methods to meet the downtown problem. Hanson Place Church has decided, through William Kennedy. chairman of the Music Committee, to have a surpliced choir, retaining for next year the present organist.

A. Howard Watson, and soprano soloist, Mrs. Agnes Alsop Ward. Hanson Place Church. during its sixty-one years of history, has had such leading Methodists as pastor as the Rev.

I. SOLDIER SUICIDE AT ATLANTA CAMP Private Rudolph Brugger of of College Point, Cuts His Throat. (Special to The Eagle.) Camp Gordon, Atlanta, February 27-Private Rudolph Brugger, 319th Field Artillery, who formerly resided at 126 Fifteenth street, College Point, Long Island, committed suicide at the camp yesterday afternoon by cutting his throat. Brugger's body was found by several of his companions in the barracks of Battery of which organization he was a member. It was stated that his wound was sufficient to cause instantaneous death.

In the absence of the commanding officer of the artillery regiment, who is at the artillery range, officials at the camp refused to discuss the sulcide, other than to admit that it had occucred. The death of another New York soldier, Thomas Joslyn, 157th Depot Brigade, who formerly lived at 210 Kellogg avenue, Syracuse, N. was announced. His death occurred at the base hospital and was caused by cellulitis. Rudolph Brugger was the son of Mrs.

Charles Brugger. When drafted by Local Board 176 he had been suffering for some time from blood clots in the legs and there was some question as to his fitness to serve. He went to Camp Upton and from there to Camp Gordon. He made application for release from service and his application was under consideration. It was said at his home that his condition was so bad that it was impossible for him to take part in the drills at camp.

Dr. A. S. Ambler, physician of Local Board 176 and the boy's family doctor, had forwarded statements as to Brugger's state of healtn. He leaves four sisters: Wilmar Brugger.

Mrs. John Sanderson. Mrs. Valentine Barthel and Mrs. Thomas Brennan.

His body arrived at the home of his mother today. MRS. MARVIN DIES AT 97 Mrs. Eliza Tilley Marvin. 97 years old, died on Monday from old age, after an illness of ten days, at her residence, 49 South Oxford street.

RUMOR OF SIGNALS FROM THE FLORIZEL Government Officials Doubt That Survivors Are on Board. St. John's. N. February 27- Rescue steamers were ordered today to investigate a report received here that signals from the Red Cross liner Florizel, wrecked Sunday morning near Cape Race, indicated that persons were alive on the vessel.

Although agents of Bowring owners of the line, expressed doubt that any survivors remained aboard the ship after forty-four persons were taken off Monday and brought here, the captain of the steamer Terra Nova, which was near the scene, was ordered by wireless to make an immediate search of the wreckage. Earlier reports had stated that the Florizel was rapidly breaking up, and that it was difficult for small boats to reach her. All told, there were 136 persons on the Florizel when she sailed from here Saturday night for Halifax and New York, and of this number 92 were lost. The Florizel Was half submerged and lying in dangerous position when the survivors were taken off. Government authorities on being informed of the report that signals had come from the ship, said that while this might be true, It was unlikely that survivors were aboard today.

HOLD BROOKLYN MEN IN DRAFT PLOT WHICH INVOLVES SNITKIN Shakin Brothers Exempted in Indiana Indicted by Federal Authorities. MARSHAL'S MEN USED RUSE A draft conspiracy that stretched from Brooklyn to the Hoosier State, in the tangles of which Municipal Court Justice Leonard A. Snitkin of Manhattan is involved, resulted in the arrest here late yesterday of Irving Shakin, 23 years old, of 38 Seigel street, and his older brother, Joseph, 26 years old. At the arraignment of the men by United States Attorney France before Commissioner Cahoone, details of the alleged plot to secure exemptions for these and other Brooklyn and Indianapolis men of draft age were revealed. The court fixed bail at $5,000 in case for appearance March 25 Indiana each.

city, where the indictments have been found. The two Brooklyn men held yesterday, another Brooklyn man for whom the authorities are searching high and low; Justice Snitkin and his brother, Maurice, of Indianapolis; A. Joseph Shur, Government Appeals Agent at Indianapolis: Dr. Julio Samper, an Indianapolis Draft Board physician, and a man named Schwartz are those under indictment. Brooklyn figures in the alleged fraud because of the alleged friendship the two Shakin brothers had for A Justice Snitkin, according to Attorney France.

When the Draft Act A A A was passed and Irving and Joseph faced sure conscription, they and the third Brooklynite, it is charged, looked about for a loophole through which to escape the draft. Then it was, the indictments charge, that the three Brooklyn men, through Snitkin, discovered that the Justice had a brother, Maurice, who was closely connected with Appeals Agent Shur, who had a habit of granting exemptions. So, the indictment charges, Justice Snitkin dispatched a telegram to his brother Maurice, with the result that the Shakin brothers and their friend went West, Shur accepted $1,500, he has since confessed, and the three Brooklyn men were declared exempt, much to their joy and gratification. In a similar manner, it is charged, Justice Snitkin and part of the same, gang. purchased a draft exemption one Schwartz, now under arrest at Indianapolis.

When the Government decreed the questionnaire, the "exemptions" of the Shakins were annulled. Then some of the others declared exempt by Shur, who has freely confessed his guilt, squealed so loudly that Federal Attorney France heard it here and Marshal James Power was sent out on the trail. The arrest of the Shakins came about through commendable work by John Ferguson a and Hymen Schorenstein. deputies of Marshal Power. For days the Government sought to find the two.

It was not until the deputies adopted a ruse that the two were located. The Shakins, accompanied by their lawyer, Isidor Cohn, appeared at the Federal Building, where the waiting deputies arrested them. Power complimented his men on their good work.

TELLS OF FORUM'S WORK "A malicious misrepresentation of the Brooklyn Civic Forum is the ment of Nathan H. Seidman, its director.

in answer to the charges of un-Americanism brought against that body by Joseph Goldstein, a Brooklyn lawyer, in statement issued by him yesterday. "In his attack Goldstein claims that the Brooklyn Civic Forum is "a place for the dissemination of rabid, revolutionary, seditious and anarchistic doctrines" and protests to the Mayor Board of Education against its existence. Denying that the Forum is fostering or spreading charge Socialism, false Mr. Seidman brands the as and the accuser as a man seeking newspaper notoriety. Mr.

Seidman's reply in part follows: "The work of the Brooklyn Civic Forum is too well known to the citizens of Brooklyn to make it necessary for me to reply at length to the false and malicious charges made by one, Joseph Goldstein. The Forum has been in existence for a period of eight years, and the leading clergymen, editors, educators and men who hold high public office have repeatedly expressed their appreciation of the work done by the Forum. "The most important indictment made by this man is that the Forum is undermining the patriotism of the people. What are the Forum opened the season 1917-18 with an address by Dr. Stephen Wise on the subject "What Are We Fighting For?" Surely no one will dare question the loyalty and patriotism of Dr.

Wise. There are few men who are better qualified to expound the ideals for which America is fighting than the leader of the Free Synagogue. Dr. Wise's lecture was followed by an address by the distinguished Catholic scholar, Dr. James J.

Walsh, dean of the Fordham University Medical College, and the following are some of the other eminent men and women who have spoken under the auspices of the Brooklyn Civic Forum this season: Ex-Commissioner of Education John Martin, Beatrice ForbesS011 Hale, Dr. Frank Blodgett, president of Adelphi College; Professor W. F. Slocum, president Emeritus of the University Colorado; Professor George W. Nasmyth of Boston, who is now assisting Dr.

Garfield; Dr. Louis U. Wilkinson, Dr. Charles Ferguson, ex-Ambassador Abram I. Elkus, JusLa Fontaine of Belgium, Edwin Marktice Edward Lazansky, Senator Henri I ham, John Spargo, Professor Charles Zueblin of Boston, Professor William B.

Guthrie and Rabbi Samuel Schulman of Temple Fifth avenue. "Let me say to dethe man who has 90 maliciously misrepresented the Forum that the people who attend the meetings under its auspices, in Public School No. 84, would have has no opportunity to learn the facts with respect to our Government's participation in the war, but for the desire of the director of the Forum to bring America's message to their attention. And is there anyone who can deny the fact that the speakers selected for that purpose were eminently qualified to perform their task satisfactorily? charge made by this man is that it is the aim of the Forum to foster the spread of Socialism. The Socialists, on the other hand, believe that the activities of the Forum are detrimental to the growth of Socialism, and in order to combat the influence of the Brooklyn Civic Forum, they organized the People's Forum, which meets every Wednesday.

The Socialists, then, do not agree with this complainant. "Let me add that this man, who poses as a simon-pure patriot, recently sought permission to speak at one of our Forum meetings, not on the subject of patriotism of loyalty, but on some question pertaining to the administration of criminal law. The director of the Forum refused to extend this privilege. because, in his opinion, the man did not measure up to the standard set for Forum speakers. to be hoped that the fairminded citizens of this city will not be influenced by the vaporings of a man who is seeking notoriety." in "Church, Liberty Guardian" A lecture, entitled "The Church the Guardian of Liberty," and a concert were held last night in St.

James auditorium of Pro-Cathedral, on Jay street. for benefit of the St. James the Branch of the Catholic Women's League. The Rev. John Wynne, S.

editor of the Catholic Encyclopedia, was the speaker. The lecture was a historical review of the abolition of slavery in the world through the influence of the Church, beginning with the days of Rome and leading up to the present day, and the influence of womanhood for human liberty and her gradual emancipation from her own subjection to man. A patriotic musical program was conducted by Professor John F. Nuorganist of St. James ProCathedral.

The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass the bladder, where it often remains too irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.

SOMERS AND RYAN COME TO NEW YORK Will Attend Meeting of Board of Education Late This Afternoon. (Special to The Eagle.) Atlantic City, N. February 27-- President Somers of the Board of Education and George J. Ryan of Queens, member of the board, left this morning to be in time to attend the meeting of the Board of Education, late this afternoon. At that meeting the election of a district superintendent may again be deferred for further information regarding the nominee of the Board of Superintendents, Dr.

Thomas O. Baker of No. 44, Brooklyn. Mr. Somers and others of the board had a conference yesterday with well-known superintendents from all over the country, to ascertain what they were doing in the schools that is not being done in New York City.

Nearly a score of men were present, and were quizzed by Mr. Somers. It was the opinion of New York members that, after all had been said in a three-hour conference, the schools of our city are doing something that are not being done elsewhere. That in some of the outside cities more attention is being paid to military training in the high schools than in New York. In some respects other cities had been or ganized more closely in some subjects, but much depended upon the angle from which things were viewed.

One of the New York men said that after the review of accomplishments of others he was satisfied that New York City was leading in all essential things and was doing a great many things that other places, of a much smaller school population, were not doing. He was pleased to have been here, however, to compare notes with other men. The question of the superintendency is still open. The decision will not be reached for a while, and Mr. Somers, at least, says his mind is still open.

Madame Emma Richardson Kuster, conductress of the Chaminade Society, and Madame Kavanagh Parker, contralto, will give a piano and vocal recital at the Congregational Home, 123 Linden avenue, tomorrow evening.
