He suffered a nervous break- The Rev.

William L. Blake. down about nine weeks ago, due to overwork, and although he was ordered by his physician to take a rest, he continued to night and day on a plan to establish vacation home work, for his "boys." He was taken to the hospital on April 12. Father Blake's last wish, a few moments before his death, was that he could say "goodbye to the boys." Many business men today owe their training and elevation to Father Blake's interest in them when they were boys. He has sent scores of students to the various colleges of the city.

He boasted that the home knew no creed or nationality. He was hardly a week In the Boerum street institution before he had started the St. Vincent Home Band, which today numbers nearly one hundred members. He provided prizes at various times during the year for special musical work. For a composition in music produced by one of the members of the band he gave a very liberal reward, and in this way he created many soloists among the band.

He has taken care of homeless newsboys around the Brooklyn Bridge for a number of years, and in many cases he has succeeded in re-establishing the homes of these boys that had been broken up as a result of poverty. For the past three years he has sent at least one or two boys a year to Brooklyn College. St. Vincent's Home Is Plunged in Sorrow. There was great sorrow yesterday at St.

Vincent's Home. Little groups of sorrow stricken youngsters could be seen who ordinarily on Sunday afternoon made the halls of the institution ring with their laughter and chatter.

Besides giving the boys food and lodging at the home, Father Blake gave them free education in day and night classes and access to a large library.

One of the happiest days i in Father Blake's life was the occasion of the opening of the new gymnasium, swimming pool and bowling alleys at the home. He had been working several years to secure enough money to complete these accessories. Father Blake was born in Swedesboro, N. September 13, 1865. was educated in Sacred Heart College, Vineland, N.

and took his seminary course in St. John's College, by and Lewis avenues. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 1, 1894, and shortly after was assigned as curate to St. Patrick's Church, Long Island City. Early in the year of 1899 he was asked by the Right Rev.

Bishop McDonnell to take charge of St. Vincent's Home, which had been established in a small dwelling on Poplar street. The little home was in a precarious condition, with hardly any funds and an increasing number of applicants. Father Blake started in at once, and with the aid of the young people of St. Patrick's parish a and a few friends among the business men of other sections, built up in less than five years a home that he was proud of.

Sixteen years ago, he broke ground for the present building on Boerum place. On the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone, nearly every priest in the diocese was present. When the home was first opened there were about fifty boys to take care of. There are 200 boys in the home today. Father Blake is survived by three sisters, Mnss Anna Blake, Mrs.

Theresa Martin and Mrs. N. Costello of this borough, and two brothers, George and Maurice Blake of Camden, N. J. The body will lie in state at the home tonight and tomorrow evening.

Despite a cloudy sky and the occasional showers in the afternoon and evening, Coney Island had the season's record crowd yesterday. It is estimated that fully 300,000 persons visited the resort, a figure that sets a new record for this time of year. The pleasure-seekers took the inclement weather quite philosophically, ducking to shelter when it rained and sallying forth again to enjoy themselves when it ceased. Bathing proved to be the most popular pastime in the forenoon and the early part of the afternoon, and thousands took their first dip of the year. Besides the usual sights at the island, the crowds yesterday were treated I to the exciting rescue from the surf of Mrs.

Albert Young of 564 Riverside drive, Manhattan. Mrs. Young was thrown from her canoe by the heavy surf and was rescued by two men. The rescuers were Julian Rose of the Shelburne Hotel and Bernard Rourke of 2963 West Fifth street, Coney Island. Mrs.

Young 1 was unconscious when dragged from the surf and, after emergency treatment, was hurried to her home. A gay crowd of the sightseers that had just boarded a sightseeing truck in Surf avenue for the return to Manhattan were startled when a young man in the rear of the car got up and cried out that he had taken poison. He told Mounted Policeman Frederick Hahn that he had taken the poison a block away, and searchers found there a bottle that had contained muriatic acid. The policeman gave the young man milk and continued treatment until Dr. Gerow came from the Coney Island Hospital.

The man, who gave his name as Claude Snyder, an iceman of 2395 Jamaica avenue, Richmond Hill, was taken to the hospital, where it was said he could live only a few hours. A note found in his pocket asked that Mrs. Mae Snyder, 2395 Jamaica avenue, be notified in case he was found unconscious. PAGE SEES KING GEORGE. London, June 7-The American Ambassador, Walter Hines Page, was received at Buckingham Palace today by King George.

PUPILS TO VISIT CITY HALL Marks Suggests They Study City Government. If President Churchill of the Board of Education consents, school children all over the city who attain the highest mark in civics are to be given an opportunity to attend a meeting of the Board of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen, so that they may receive a practical working knowledge of the many details of the city government. Borough President Marks is the originator of the idea. It was inspired, he says in his letter to President Churchill, by the "splendid showing" which a large delegation of school children made before the Board of Estimate last week in favor of the open floating baths. ROOSEVELT AT PASS CHRISTIAN.

Arrives with Mrs. Roosevelt for a Brief Visit. Pass Christian, June 7- Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived here for brief visit with John M. Parker.

BARNES READY TO APPEAL JUDGMENT Ivins Will File Papers as Soon as Roosevelt's Lawyers Enter Decree. (Special to The Eagle.) Syracuse, June 7-An appeal from the Judgment in favor of Theodore Roosevelt In the $50,000 libel suit brought against him by William Barnes will be fled by Ivins, Wolff Houget, counsel for William Barnes. just as soon as judgment is entered in the court here by the attorneys for the defendant.

According to law, a notice of appeal cannot be filed before the judgment is entered. It is thought that the entry of the judgment is being held up on account of computations on the bill of costs, and it is expected that it will be made within a very short time, after which the notice of appeal will immediately be filed. The case is practically ready for presentation to the Appellate Division now, but, of course, if the appeal is delayed much longer there is little chance of its being reached before fall. If the Appellate Court should reverse the judgment against Mr. Barnes it would be on account of the ruling of Justice Andrews in regard to the matter which was permitted to remain in the case and which was submitted to the Jury.

If this was granted by the higher court, it is claimed by Mr. Barnes' counsel that the trial justice before whom the case would be brought next would have no alternative save to direct a verdict for the plaintiff and that the only work the jurors would do would be to fix the measure of damages. William L. Barnum, Syracuse counsel for Mr. Barnes, says that there is absolutely no question but that an appeal will be taken or that there will be the least unnecessary delay in the matter.

All the jurors in the trial have received from Colonel Roosevelt autographed copies of the picture taken of them with Colonel Roosevelt on the day the verdict was rendered, but the printed, bound and inscribed copy of the proceedings of trial have not reached them. In the address which he made in the jury room, the Colonel said that it might be several weeks before the volumes were ready. SHERLOCK ASS'N ON OUTING. About 1,000 Attend 14th A. D.

"THE CASE IS IN THE COURTS." They Take Refuge Behind This Statement of Fact-Williams and Wood Are Nonplussed. "The case is in the courts." Behind this statement Democratic members of the Public Service Commission took refuge today when asked about the action of Commissioner Hayward, Saturday, in starting a criminal prosecution against the B. R. T. for failure to obey an order of the Commission.

The commissioners interviewed dodged the question as to why proceedings had not been begun before, if the order adopted back in 1912, compelling all Manhattan bound Bay Intreet station expresses had to not stop been at the obeyed. Third When Chairman McCall was told that the impression had gone out that Commissioner Hayward was taking up the prosecution against John J. Dempsey, the B. R. transportation superintendent, personally, and was not receiving the support of the other commissioners, he said: "That's not so.

Whenever a member of the Commission Ands an order of ours that has been disobeyed and takes steps to have it obeyed, we will back him to the very limit." Although the chairman did not care to make any other comment on the case, he made it plain that he was not in the least perturbed by his colleague's invoking the penal code to secure corporation's obedience for the first time in the board's history, Both Commissioner Killiams and Commissioner Wood seemed to be more or less nonplussed at the action of Colonel Hayward. Neither cared to discuss the case as regards its present status or its history while it wag before the courts. Although the Commissioners would not discuss in any way why no previous action had taken in the case if violations existed, it was stated in Commissioner Williams' office that no complaint as to any violation had ever been made. 77 411 WOULD SAVE CITY $6,000,000 Institute of Architects Offers New Manhattan Court House Plans.

of the New York Chapter, American Institute of Architects. In the absence of C. Grant La Farge, chairman of the committee, who is out of town, Mr. Flagg sent a report to Acting Mayor McAneny, with a plan. "The people of New York won't stand for paying five or six millions more for a poorer plan," said Mr.

Flagg, in his letter. "This plan will save the city at least $6,000,000, and it will not disturb the streets around the Courthouse, such as Worth street, which by a previous plan would be diverted." Mr. Flagg's letter reads in part: INSTRUCTION. Co-Educational. GARMENT CUTTERS EARN BIG MONEY From $25.
