LAY RADIO DEATH TO BOY'S CARELESSNESS Abrams Had No Permit for Stringing Wires, Coroner's Jury Finds. SERVANT WAS ELECTROCUTED. Wire on Amateur Outfit In L.

I. City Rublied Against High Voltage Electric Light Wires. Coroner Carl Voegel's Jury held an inquest at the Jamaica Town Hall late yesterday afternoon into the circum stances surrounding the death on De cember 16 of Mary Rosklnsky, 23 years old, a domestic employed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Abrams, B18 Fourth avenue, Astoria, who was electrocuted when she came in contact with a wireless instrument wire that was rubbed by a high voltage electric light wire running over the roof.

The Jury, in its verdict, found that Herbert, the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Abrams, was guilty of carelessness in the construction of the wireless apparatus. It was brought out that the boy, with a chum, had strung wires over the roof of the Abrams home and extended them over a lot and a street, and that no permit for doing this had been given by the Board of Estimate. The New York and Queens County Electric Light and Power Company, which had a permit, had afterward strung its wire over that of the wireless.

The electric light wire had sagged down and rubbed the insulation wire off the boy's wire, which was grounded behind a radiator In a bedroom of the Abrams home. Two other inquests were held. In the case of Philip Ruteosky, 31 years old, of 266 Front street, Hempstead, L. a motor truck driver, who was run over by an automobile at Long Island City, was declared to have died on December 2 last at St. John's Hospital, Long Island City, as a result of injuries sustained.

JAIL FOR TWO WHO WERE PALS IN HOME Boys Admit Burglary and Get Five Years Each in Sing Sing. Frederick Anderson, 18 years old, of 398 Fifth avenue, and Walter Mc-Cabe, 19 years old, of 650 Crescent street, who both entered pleas of guilty to burglary, third degree, and grand larceny, second degree, were sentenced to five years each in Sing Sing by Judge Humphrey in the Queens County Court yesterday afternoon. The young men, in company with James O'Connell, who has since been, sent to the House of Refuge, broke into the Revere House at Rockaway Beach on October 19, 1915, and stole Jewelry and $50 in money from the room of Louis Borgos. The boys first met in the New York Juvenile Asylum and upon their release got into trouble in "Westchester County, where they were Upon their release they again got together and committed the burglary for which they were sentenced William Carmody, alias Roger Hogan and William Healy, 47 years old, of 413 West Nineteenth street, Manhattan, who escaped from Riker's Island, swam to the Long Island City shore and fitted himself with a suit of clothes which he stole from the luanch Molly Bawn, owned by former Assistant District Attorney John Hethering-ton, was sent to Sing Sing as a second offender for burglary and petit larceny for a period of six years and three months. Mr.

Hetherington pleaded with Judge Humphrey that the man be given the smallest possible sentence. Being a second offender, even the minimum, however, was severe. After he had heard the sentence Carmody denied that he had entered a plea of guilty to burglary and claimed that he understood that he was only up for petit larceny.

EDWARD DOWNS DEAD. Ho Was Well Known to Visitors at Peconic Bay. Riverhead, L. December 28 Captain Edward Downs, father of Mrs. Walter W.

Debevoise of Brooklyn, died suddenly at his home here yesterday morning, in his 78th year. Funeral services will be conducted at the Riverhead Methodist Church on Thursday afternoon by the Rev. John Rippere of Orient, assisted by the pastor of the Riverhead Church, the Frank Wade Smith. Captain Downs was regarded as one of Riverhead's best-known citizens. He was well known to Brooklynites who have for many years made their summer home in his hotel, the Peconic Bay House, at South Jamesport, which has been, however, under the management of one of his sons.

Captain Downs was a member of the Methodist Church, and was an active and devout Christian, yet not in the least offensively so. He is survived by these children: Mrs. W. W. De Bevoise, Brooklyn; Mrs.

Frank Vail, Greenport; Herbert E. Downs, South Jamesport, and Howard H. Downs, Riverhead. His widow also survives him. CHICKENPOX HALTS COURT.

Necessary Now to Start Murder Case from Beginning. Riverhead. L. December 28 When the County Court convened here yesterday afternoon Judge Vunk discovered that the second degree murder trial against Christopher Brown, charged with killing Frank Helmmeit at Amagansett, could not go on because Leland Y. Robinson of Riverhead, one of Jho jurors, is suffering with chlckenpox.

Judge Vunk was presented with a certificate to this effect, signed by Dr. Albert E. 1'ayne. It will be necessary to draw an entirely new Jury and start the case all over again, and Judge Vunk fixed upon Wednesday as the new date. TOWN BUDGET $156,838.

Manhasset, L. December 28 The Town Board of North Hempstead has just completed the budget for the year 1916. It totals, outside of the amounts I needed for improvements In the several districts of the town, the sum of I $156,836.87, I Boarded Boat Without Warrant and Shoveled Scallops Into Sea, Kelen Says IN TORT ACTION FOR $100. Delegation of Barmen Appears Before Supervisors, Asking That Bug Scallop Law Be Repealed. (Special to The Eagle).

Riverhead, L. December 28 What is considered as one of the most interesting fights between the scal-lopers of Peconic Bay and the game wardens in the Matter of catching bug scallops came to light yesterday when Percy L. Housel, appearing for Frank Kelen, started a suit against Game Protector Herbert Horton and Constable Daniel Tuthill, both of New Suffolk. The plaintiff says that the defendants forcibly boarded his boat In the bay and shoveled overboard nearly 100 bushels of scallops. The suit is an action in tort It seeks to recover 1100.

Justice Hil-dreth issued the summons, but no date has yet been fixed for the Jury trial which will be held. It is contended by Kelen that he had many large scallops in those shoveled overboard and that the defendants had no right to touch them. In speaking of the suit Mr. Housel declared that the law gives game protectors a right to board a boat and examine its contents, when provided with a search warrant and believing that a crime has been committed, but he added that evidence found must be held subject to the disposition of the Conservation Commission. Mr.

Kelen declares the officers had no search warrant, that they forcibly boarded his boat, and did not hold the "evidence" subject to the disposition of the commission, but destroyed the evidence by shoveling it overboard. He says he told them the law on the subject and advised them to go slow about shoveling his catch back into the sea. He says they disregarded this and shoveled all the faster for a time, and then quit when "it occurred to them that possibly they were exceeding their authority." South Jamesport baymen yesterday were also threatening other actions against Constable Tuthill. They declare he broke into their scallop houses without a search warrant. Baymen Want Law Removed.

Last night a delegation of baymen, headed by their counsel, Mr. Housel, appeared before the supervisors and asked the board to use its influence in getting the law relative to catching bug scallops wiped off the statute books. Petitions largely signed by residents of Riverhead, as well as bay-men, were presented to the board, seeking the relief mentioned. One kink in the present law gives oystermen the legal right to take the bugs from their oyster beds, but the sale of them Is prohibited. Yet it is the claim of the baymen that the oystermen violate this law, and they add that in giving the oystermen a right to take them is a discrimination that is unjust, and illegal, because the baymen are not even allowed to take them.

The baymen also told the board that the law is unjust and a hardship. They asked the board to request the Legislature not to pass any law In place of the present one, after it is repealed, until the whole matter can be threshed out by a committee to be appointed by the board, and which committee will endeavor to examine into the entire situation relative to the bay and its industries and recommend a law that will be based upon "sane regulations," and that will be workable. MISSIONARIES GET FOURNIER'S $50,000 His Will Has Been Probated at Riverhead and Contest Stopped. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. December 28 A will of the late John Fournier of Southampton, who left an estate valued' at about $50,000 for mission-' ary purposes, has at last been probated, the appeal in the contested proceeding that was fought for so long having been discontinued by agreement.

By agreement also the will that was contested and which was declared invalid by Surrogate Nicoll, has been discarded, and one of the several other wills of almost the same date was offered and has been accepted In probate. Thi3 will is not much different from the one contested. It gives Mrs. Will-lam H. Pierson of Water Mill, a stepdaughter, $3,000 and provides $400 for the Moriches Presbyterian Church as a memorial for testator's late wife, Otherwise the provisions of the one probated and the one declared invalid are substantially the same.

The children of two sisters, Mrs. Ann E. Reeve and Mrs. Fanny Aldrich of Aquebogue, who contested the will, are each given $400, the same as in the will contested. The Southampton Presbyterian Church, $300; Southampton Cemetery, $200, and the residue is equally divided, one-half to the Board of Foreign Missions and the other half equally between the New York City Society of the Methodist Church and the Inner Missions and Rescue Work.

The testator was an eccentric but wealthy resident of Southampton and owned much valuable realty. The will of Julia Stein of Smithtown gives an estate valued at $7,600 to her husband, Abraham M. Stein. The will of Harold Wixon of Med-ford jelves an estate valuer? at $525 to his riother, Maiy Wixon, and his sister, Fanny M. Low.

In the estate of Ella Jacobs of Good Ground, value $300, letters of administration have been granted to Howard G. Tuthill. Ml'LVIHILL MC DONOUGH. Sag Harbor, L. December 28 Daniel Mulvlhill and Anna Cliftpn Mc-Donough were married by the Rev.

W. Bliss Company station. FIRE IN MOVIE PLANT. Fire in the drying room of the Gaumont moving picture studio on Congress avenue, Flushing yesterday noon caused about $25 damage. Cocks Believes Conditions in Orchard No Worse Than Elsewhere on Island.

WRANGLE OVER CLINIC PLAN. Dr. Bums Sees Duuger to Wealthy Families in Prevalence of Disease in Poorer Sections. (Special to The Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. December 28 For over two hours yesterday Dr.

Frank Overton, State Sanitary inspector for Long Island; Dr. William BurnR, Health Officer of Oyster Bay; Miss Edna Copeland, District Nurse of Glen Cove, and Elwood V. Titus, president of the Village Improvement Society of Glen Cove, endeavored to prove to the members of the Town Board of Oyster Bay that the board ought to appropriate money immediately for the establishment of a clinic in the section of Glen Cove known as the Orchard, where many Italian families live. Diphtheria started there last September and there are still many cases, according to Dr. Overton and Dr.

Burns. Supervisor James H. Cocks, chairman of the board, said that he was reluctant to believe that conditions in the Orchard are as bad as the health officers pictured them. When he learned from Dr. Burns that two deaths have resulted from diphtheria in the Orchard since the outbreak of the disease he said that, in his opinion, diphtheria in Glen Cove is no more common than in other Long Island villages.

Dr. Overton declared that there are six times as many cases in the Orchard, where cultures submitted to the State Health Department have shown the existence of diphtheria germs, as there would be normally. Justice of the Peace William Luy-ster offered a resolution, which was carried, authorizing Dr. Burns to ascertain for what sum a building, to be used as a detention hospital and clinic, can be obtained, and to see how many were willing to subscribe to the cost of maintaining it. Chairman Cocks took exception to a statement made in a letter he received recently from Matthias Nicoll, director of the Division of Publicity and Education, of the State Health Department, in which it was stated that the spread of the disease in the Orchard "is rapidly becoming a public scandal." "Is there anything personal about that statement?" asked the supervisor, of Dr.

Overton. "There is no personal reflection on the board intended," replied the doctor. "Don't let us get into personalities." "This is personal," rejoined the supervisor. "You admit there have only oeen two deaths, and yet you say that it is a public scandal." "Well," said Dr. Overton, "are not two deaths from diphtheria public "No," answered the supervisor quickly.

Chairman Cocks said that he had no objection to establishing a detention hospital, but. said he did not know whether the board had the right to spend the people's money for it on its own initiative. Dr. Burns said that twenty cultures a day are being sent to the State Health Department. He added that the State Health Board had reported diphtheria germs in many of the cultures submitted to it.

The parents in these families work for some of the wealthiest men in this section, said Dr. Burns, and they are a danger to the children of those for whom they work. "It doesn't seem fair to say that the taxpayers ought to have a man outside the millionaire's gate to examine the Italian workmen," interjected Chairman Cocks "The wealthy people ought to have a man inside the gates to examine employees." The physicians of Glen Cove, Dr. Burns said, are willing to give an hour of their time free each day to work in the clinic, if established, in removing adenoids and enlarged tonsils. Dr.

Nicoli said today that he was satisfied with the progress which has been made in the effort to better conditions in "the Orchard." He believes that the Town Board will do its part in the work, he said, and declared that there is no friction between the local board and the State Department. BATHING FOR AMITVVILLE. O'Brien to Pun-lias Land on Great South Bay. Amltyville, L. December 28 Last summer The Eagle proposed that this village add to its attractiveness, by erecting a bathing pavilion and paving the way for a public park on the waterfront, to mee the ever-increasing demand for bathing facilities on the mainland, and, now, in the dead of winter, plans are being made, not by the community, but by a private Individual.

Hp is planning to build a bathing pavilion capable of accommodating the native and summer residents of Amltyville, Massapecitm and the interior settlements bordering on tha cross-island trolley. CONTRACT FOR SEWER LATERALS Great Neck, L. December 28 The Town Board yesterday ordered Supervisor Christ to soil the bonds for a lateral sewer alnnir North Reservation at Kensington, Great Neck.

CALL IT "RAM'S HORN STREET." Lawyer Elmer P. Smith Says Owners Should Carefully Consider Question. (Special to The Eagle.) Port Jefferson, L. December 28 The widening of East Main street, from Hotel Square to the corner of East Broadway is again being agitated here. Some time ago the Town Board appropriated the sum of $5,000 to macadam this section of Main street and before that is done there are those in the village who think the street should be widened and straightened.

About two years ago an application to widen East Main street was made and a commission was appointed and about to take testimony when the proceedings were stopped because of some irregularity. It now looks as if the present agitation would lead to another application to widen and straighten the road being made. Lawyer Elmer P. Smith advocates the straightening of East Main street before the town builds the macadam road. Mr.

Smith says: "The property owners on East Main street should consider carefully the proposition to construct a concrete road in front of their premises. Do not consider the question from a monetary viewpoint, but rather that a permanent road in that ram's-horn-of-a-street will close the street as a safe and respectable highway for travel for all future. "If I owned a business-site or dwelling on East Main street and if a concrete road should be constructed in the street as it now lies, I would sell it for the first offer. A concrete road In the street would naturally prevent any large expenditure to straighten and widen the street. Such a road would really be a monument erected to the memory of what 'has been' and stand as a gravestone for desirable business ventures of the future.

"It is well worth while for property owners on East Main street to investigate what has happened in other villages and cities where slrqilar conditions exist, and further satisfy themselves as to the absolute certainty of the march of business along wide. straight streets. "Save East Main street should be the determination of every citizen of Port Jefferson. This village hasn't one-tenth of the space which it should have for business expansion." DR. JOHN O.

ROE DEAD. Rochester Physician Was a Native of Patehofrue. (Special to The Eagle.) Rochester, December 28 The funeral of Dr. John O. Roe, native of Patchogue, was held yesterday afternoon from his home here, where he died on Christmas Eve.

Jury Had Decided B. R. T.

Should Pay for Alleged Damages. Justice Van Siclen has handed down in the Queens County Supreme Court a decision setting aside the verdict in the case of John Miller against the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company for $1,750. The company claimed that the verdict was found upon the testimony of Walter Shanley of Green-point. Shanley was indicted on a charge of perjury, the railway officials claiming that he was in California at the time of the alleged Miller accident. Shanley was tried and acquitted on this charge.

He is awaiting trial on a similar indictment arising from the case of Anna Campbell against the Long Island Railroad, which the company settled upon testimony given by Shanley. In handing down his decision Justice Van Siclen writes: "The evidence taken at the latter trial, together with the notes and minutes of the court, have been submitted upon this motion and, even if conceded to be insufficient to convict of perjury, are sufficient to cast serious doubt upon the verdict attacked. "It is extremely doubtful if the jury would have returned the verdict herein in the absence of the corroborating witness' testimony. "It would seem, under all the circumstances surrounding this case, that the plaintiff and his counsel would welcome a new trial."
