SCORES COURTHOUSE PLAN Sen. Bennett Sees Danger in Piecemeal Construction. State Senator William M. Bennett, counsel of the Society for the Prevention of Municipal Waste, sees a plan on the part of the advocates of the "$40,000,000" court house in Manhattan to construct it in piece-meal fashion as tho Capitol was built at Albany. Mr.

Bennett wants the city to sell the land that has been purchased for the projected structure. The Board of Estl-mute Is Rlated to hold a hearing on the court house matter tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Bennett says: "When the city, by the admission of Its chief financial officer, has a borrowing capacity of only $11,341,578.48, it would seem to be an act of folly for the cit vto enter a contract for $10,000,000, for "the building, and $4,000,000 for furnishings. "1 understand, however, that the plan of those on the Board of Estimate who favor the project is to let the contract to build only one-third of the court house.

"The State Capitol was built a section at a time, with the result that instead of costing $4,000,000, it cost The Board of Estimate should abandon tho 'Collect Pond' court house scheme, sell the land, and remodel the present court house."

The ship had Just been loaded with a cargo of 3,500 tons of sugar, destined for the British Government. Captain Pye found the blaze raging in twelve different places. Ho immediately notified the Fire Department, and the fireboat William L. Strong answered the call. After a fight of two hours, the flames were extinguished.

Spontaneous combustion; caused by placing chlorate of potash In bags of sugar, probably caused the fire. Captain Pye believes. The lnchmoor had been carefully guarded by private detectives. This is one of many such fires on ships loading sugar for England. The damage was about $1 00,000.

CaptainPye charges 1 hat enemies of the Allies were responsible for the blaze. RABIES' HIGH DEATH RATE. More Die In Mining; Towns Than In Residential Suburbs.

S. Commission Dismiss tho of 1'oung CMks. The Publlo Service Commission today, under tho direction of Chairman Oscar Straus, mauo short work of the application cf the Brooklyn Civic League, which has a membership ot eight, according to itsp resident, Leo Mayer of 1307 Putnam avenue, for hearings before the Commission on a plan the club members presented for a new seating system to bo used in the cars of the Broadway line. Mayer claimed that the new seating system would Increase the seating capacity of the cars to 104, which Is six more than the maximum seating capacity at present. The system, he said, was devised by Cornelius F.

Sheehan, but has never been passed upon by experts. When Chairman Straus called the case for a hearing he was surprised at the youthful appearance of tho delegation. He heard Mayer's statement and then began to question him about the organization ho claimed to represent. Chairman Strnus was evidently confusing the Brooklyn Civic League with the Brooklyn Civic Club and the Brooklyn League. Mayer finally admitted that his club consisted of eight members.

He spread the names of tho members on tho minutes of the meeting, his associates being George Demner of 55 Liberty avenue. William Van Alstyne of 65 Liberty ave nue, Martin and Qus Ledner of 1093 Gates avenue, Irving Jacobs of Corona and Harold Friedman of an unknown address. 'I don't think tho railroad company should be held up in Its work by four or five boys," Commissioner Cram said, after It appeared that most of the members of the league were lawyers' clerks. "I said seven or eight, Mayer corrected. "Very well, seven or eight young men," Commissioner Cram said.

"I think that in view of the facts In the case, we ought to dismiss the complaint," Commissioner Hay ward said. Chairman Straus signified his assent to this proposal by calling for a vote. The complaint was unanimously dismissed. The Brooklyn Civic League will have to increase Its membership before it can exert inliuence upon public boards.

Over Robert Tiedemann, an elevator operator in Wall street, shared in the Christmas prosperity of the Street and received more than $100 in presents from tenants in the building where he works.

His wife found him groaning from pain and quickly summoned Policeman Gallagher of the Herbert street station.

Two 3Ien Seen Coming From Xelgh boring House Shortly After Crime. At 7 o'clock this morning a clerk a United Cigars store at St. John's place and Nostrand avenue ran Into the street blowing a police whistle. After blowing for some time ha aroused Charles Hewey, plumber living In the vicinity. Hewey asked him what the trouble was, and the cleric answered that the place had been robbed again.

Hewey found that th safe had been opened with a "can open-, er" and about $821.14 removed. Th police were notified and detectives ar working on the matter. The thieves chose a long way to enter into the premises. They went through a trap door leading to the cellar of 755 Nostrand avenue, cut through the partition into the cellar of 753, and found themselves up against a partition dlffereni from the two others. When the cigar store was robbed about four months ago and $250 taken, the company installed a new partition in the cellar and lined It with heavy sheet tin.

When the robbers came up against the heavy boards lined with tin, they took a brace and bit with a diameter of one and a quarters Inches and bored six holes. This was too tedious, however, and so they abandoned the plan of breaking through, and Instead went to the rear of the cellar and ripped off four boards. After gaining an entrance Into the store cellar In this way they went upstairs. They ripped the door of th safe open, extracted the money, and went out the way they came in. John Peterson of 870 Nostrand avenue, who is the Janitor of the store, was asked if he had seen any suspicious persons in the vicinity today, and he answered that about 6 o'clock: this morning he had seen two men come out of the cellarway of 755 Nostrand avenue, brush off their clothing and walk away.

He was then asked If he had recognized either of the men and he answered that he recognized one as a former employee In that store. On this description the police ate working. The manager of the store refused to give any Information to a reporter for The Kagle, but the entire Btory was told at the headquarters of the company, where 1 twas also stated that thel next partition will be of sheet iron) faced with sheet Iron and backed wltuV the same material.

Plana and drawlnp cl construction nom win aisu vn uun PARK FOR PUBLIC ON PRATT PROPERTY Ground in Front of Institute's Library to Be Laid Out Beautifully. WITH OLD SPANISH GATEWAYS. Block Fronting DcKalb Avenue to Bo Brcallilng Space for Public. Ready in March.

The whole block front on DeKalb avenue, between Ryerson and Hall streets, Is to be changed into a beau tiful recreation park, according to plans announced at the offices of Pratt Institute, which owns the property. Several months ago a firm of house- wreckers began tearing down a row of buildings that formerly occupied the property, and speculation was rife as to what use the authorities of Pratt Institute would make of the ground. The Morris Building Company, which has charge of the real estate improvements of tho Institute, la In charge of the proposed park. Yesterday it was said that the park would not only enhance the appearance of the Institute property, but would also provide a necessary breathing space for the public. The property upon which the new park will be situated runs from De Kalb avenue, north to the Pratt Library Building.

It is at present completely cleared of the houses that once stood on it. The park will contain numerous walks, shaded with large trees. The grounds will be conered with flowers and shrubbery. In the present plans of the park, it is also proposed to erect a large fountain In its center. A feature will be the beautiful fence that will surround it.

This fence will be constructed of heavy solid stone pillars and iron grill work. There will bo two entrances on ueftaiu avenue, one at Ryerson street and the other on Hall street. These entrances are worthy of special notice, as they will be built after the style ot the ancient Spanish gateways of St. Augustine, Fla. The fence will be 1 80 f-t long, and each post will lie eight fei high.

Tho posts will consist of and brownstone. The gates ore to be constructed of the same material, but will be twelve feet high. "Dummy'' gateways are now in place to give the' general effect that the stone and brick would afford. It is expected tnat the park will be completed in March. MRS.

'L'hltt ana 11, icfcruea, i FIREMEN'S FUND TO SUPPLANT "SHARKS" Plan Launched to Make Loans to Laddies at 4 Per Cent. Interest. SILVRKS WERE THE MENACE. Demanded Ruinous Rates of Unsophisticated Victims, Adainson Tells Ranker. Announcement was made to the uniformed force by Fire Commissioner Robert Adamson, today, that a fund had been established through the generosity of citizens of means particularly Interested In the welfare of the firemen, to be known as the New York Firemen's Emergency Fund.

The sole Intent of those establishing the fund is to stamp out the loan shark evil, which has injured and, in some cases, cut off the career of brave and able fire fighters. Commissioner Adamson was advised that the fund Is ready to go into operation by James M. Leopold, a New York Stock Exchange broker, who has been in close touch with the Fire and Police departments many years and who. with Lewis L. Clarke, president of the American Exchange National Bank, was principally instrumental in creating the fund.

The purpose of the fund is to assist the officers and men of the uniformed force in obtaining loans, not to exceed S100, for just debts for prescribed periods at a nominal rate of 4 per cent, interest. The Importance of putting a stop to the activities of loan sharks In the Department Is clearly set forth by Commissioner Adamson in a letter to Mr. Leopold welcoming the establishment of the Fund. He said: "Since I have been in the department, I have been greatly impressed with the evil effect which the loan sharks have had upon the men in this department. The average fireman knows little about financial matters and he falls an easy prey to the greedy loan shark who, once he has a victim in his clutches, extorts a ruinous rate of interest.

Once in the hands of loan shark, I he average fireman finds it almost impossible to extricate himself. He llnds his salary garnished and after a few months ho finds that he Is receiving so little pay after the claims are taken out, that he becomes discouraged and begins to drink. I have known a great many cases were the firemen under these circumstance have deliberately abandoned their positions in I he Fire Department. I believe the loan shark evil is responsible for more drink in the department than any other cause. For this reason I welcome the formation of a fund such as yours, created by a public spirited body of citizens who are anxious to help the men in this department." CROW GETS SIX MONTHS Attempted to "Do Up" Policeman-County Court Sentences.

When Wade Crow, 29 years old, of Staten Island, came up for sentence today before Judge Dike in the County Court, his appeal for mercy failed to accomplish Its desired result, nnd In sentencing him to six months In the penitentiary, the Judge said: "When a policeman acts officially, and places his hand on the shoulder of any person, saying 'You are under that person Is sacred from touch or conflict by anybody else. The law has stepped In. When you saw your friends were In trouble, you stepped forward to 'do up' the policeman and you might have hurt him seriously with the knife. You committed a serious crime In touching a policeman in the performance ot his duty, and, therefore, you must be punished," Because he changed his plea from one of "not guilty" to one of "guilty" of grand larceny in tho llrst degree, as a first offender, Joseph McFeeley, 36 years old, of 10 Tillary street, escaped with one year in tho penitentiary, whereas had he been convicted as a fourth offender ho would havo faced life term In Sing Sing.
