FRANK IL NORTON, Colonel THOUSANDS ENJOY MASONIC FIELD DAY Ebbets Field the Scene Today of Great Great Merrymaking by Craftsmen.

BASEBALL A BIG FEATURE. Women of Eastern Star Order Taking Prominent Part in the Festivities. There was music in the air at Ebbets Field this afternoon, where thousands of Masons and their families gathered to take part in the third annual Brooklyn Masonic Field Day. Dancing, band music, parades, a baseball game among clowns and another game between Masonic teams, all contributed to the enjoyment of the men, women and children, who filled the grand stand at the ball field. Preparation had been long and careful, to make this event the most successful of all.

The weather was at its best, when the Masons came with their families to enjoy themself at the field. They arrived early in the afternoon and when the events began at 2 o'clock there was a grand stand full of jubilant men and women and gleeful children. With the receipts for participation in the field day today the Brooklyn Masons will pay off part of the indebtedness on Temple, at Lafay- ette and Clermont avenues, will have the building decorated, and will place the rest in fund for the erection of a Masonic home on Long Island. Grand Master George Freifeld was present and took active part in the events by tossing the ball across the plate and starting the game between Masonic districts. All the events were the teams from the a Second and Third enjoyed by all the visitors, especially the comic baseball game indulged in eighteen acrobatic clowns.

The antics these clowns cut up were enough not only to make the boys and girls jump up and clap their hands in glee, but to produce keen enjoyment for the men and women. The events began with a complex dance by fifteen children, which was entitled "The Dance of Spring." To the strains of the band of Kismet Temple the children danced on the green and when finished were well applauded by the large gathering in the stand. The Order of the Eastern Star, one of the Masonic orders women, also took active part in the field day. Two hundred of its members ranged themselves on the field, after the dance by the children, and showed that they could be as soldierly and precise in their movements as any group of men. The drill corps of this Masonic order, two hundred strong, took the field and spent half an hour in various evolutions, which brought forth spirited applause from the throng in the stand.

With them on the field was the Felloweraft team of Kilwinning Lodge, and their evolutions also brought forth appreciation from the onlookers. The women showed they could be as militaristic as any body of men. After them was to come the Arab patrol of Kismet Temple, dressed in the quaint Oriental costume, appropriate to their na14e. The LongI Grotto hand also took part in the events, and after the comic ball game to to vie with the Kismet Temple band in a concert, for the musical honors of the day. The official flag raising was to follow the concert.

SEE The Sunday Eagle JUNE 13 AUSTIN MAY BE MUTE; POLICE HAVE DOUBTS Arrested for Begging, Prisoner Fails to Respond to Tests for the Dumb. BALKS EXPERT BLUECOAT. Magistrate Voorhies Disposes of a Puzzling Case by Suspending Sentence.

John Austin walked out of the Adams street court this morning on a suspension of sentence on charge of vagrancy, without saying a word. His case was one of the oddest that Magistrate Voorhees remembers in his long service on the inferior court bench. Austin was arrested by Patrolman Mellon of the Adams street precinct, at Washington and Johnson streets, about a week ago, on the complaint of a genuine deaf mute, who declared, in sign language, that Austin was a spurious mute who had been begging in a nearby bowling alley on the assumption that he could not speak and could not hear. Austin carried with him a subscription sheet, on which was an address to the public, stating that he had lost his voice and hearing as a result of a severe atLectins' money typhoid to take fever, him and back was to col- his home in Chicago. He could not respond to the accredited dumb man's tests; did not seem to know the sign language of the deaf mute, but paid no apparent attention to what was going on around him.

Hearing in his case was postponed, and Lieutenant George Quackenbos of the Bureau of Information in Manhattan, who is an expert in teaching the dumb, was summoned to examine the man. Quackenbos applied all the tests that are known to science but Austin puzzled him. am convinced that he is a fakir," said the lieutenant, "He does not respond to the tests for the dumb. He is putting on." Somebody down at the Raymond street jail, where Austin that" been confined for a week, said another prisoner had heard him ask for matches. But.

although the magistrate postponed the case again to find the man who had heard him speak, the witness of his loquacity could not be discovered. "If he is really a mute, I'd hate like thunder to send him to jail," said the magistrate. "I think he's been in court before for this same offense," said Quackenbos, "but I cannot place him. I am sure that I have met him in court somewhere, in Manhattan." guess I'll have to let him go," said Magistrate Voorhees, when the case came up this morning. "I'll find him guilty of this charge of begging, but I'll suspend sentence in his case.

He can Austin turned to go back into the pen just as if he had not heard the magistrate, and a court attendant pushed him the other way, out of the door.

Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Will you permit an old friend of the late Judge Higginbotham to say a few words in his behalf through the columns of your valuable paper? It has been well said by Shakespeare that the evil that men do lives after them, while good is of interred with their bones: and, as the people of Brooklyn have been given to understand that E. Gaston Higginbotham was a beast and a brute, I take the liberty of attempting to correct, in part, that impression. I knew the man for twenty-five years. His father was a gentleman and a scholar, a surgeon in the United States Army, while his mother was a delightful, sweet- lady of culture and refinement.

Judge Higginbotham began life AS a bank clerk, but his popularity dragged him into politics, and for many years he withstood the contaminating influences with which he came in contact. The evil communications finally corrupted my friend. and he went down hill by degrees-slowly but surely--and his faults were many and pronounced; but when a man has reunited hundreds of unhappy couples, reformed scores of drunkards, fed the hungry by the thousands, lived for years in an atmosphere of discord, and smiled through it all---he should not be forgotten. One Christmas Eve, shortly after the Van Wyck campaign, when I had the honor of managing Higginbotham's campaign, he and I were walking through Driggs avenue when we came upon two children shivering in the cold. We questioned them.

Their father was a drunkard and their mother a ne'er-do-well. "Higgy" spent five hours with that family making the children happy and sobering up the parents for Christmas. I have kept track of that family, Today the father is a prosperous citizen and his children are respected in a certain section of East New York. It took Higginbotham three months to reform the head of that little household, and when "Higgy" is laid away don't you suppose the tears of those people will fall upon his grave? He was always doing something for somebody in his palmy days. First, it was a plea with some hard landlord, next an appeal for time with the installment house to save a home, then an attempt to get a job for a deserving fellow.

and so it went from morning till night throughout many years of his life. Much has been said 111 the public prints about his neglect of his family, will not discuss that phase of his life except to say that there are two sides to every question and that his friends who lived him for himself understood thoroughly his complete unhappiness. In conclusion, permit me to say that while Higginbotham was not blameless in his latter day troubles, his many acts of kindness outweigh any evil of which he might have been guilty. EUGENE HUDGINS. Brooklyn, June 9, 1915.

jell 2t 9 the MRS. HUGHES STAYS IN PROBATION WORK Eight Out of Eleven City Magistrates Vote for Dismissal; 3 Against. NINE NEEDED TO OUST HER. Charges Not Proved, Is Position of the Three-Had Been Suspended. May Edwin Eight of the eleven city magistrates who sat yesterday afternoon at the hearing of Mrs.

Myra P. Hughes, formerly a probation officer of the Coney Island court, who had been suspended on charges, voted for dismissal of Mrs. Hughes from the city service, and the other three voted that the charges had not been proved. As a result, Mrs. Hughes retains her position.

The members of the Board of Magistrates who attended the trial were Messrs Dooley, who presided; Conway, Handy, Walsh, Dodd, Nash, Folwell, McGuire, Steers, Voorhees and Reynolds. The absentees were Magistrates Geismar, Fitch, Marsh, Miller, Naumer and Leach. Assistant Corporation Counsel Sweeney acted as the prosecuting attorney, and Owen Finnerty, formerly a magistrate, represented Mrs. Hughes. The hearing began at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and lasted until near nightfall.

Then a motion to dismiss Mrs. Hughes from the service was made and magistrates who voted in the afrmative were: Magistrates Dooley, Handy, Walsh, Dodd, Nash, Folwell, McGuire and Conway-8. Those who voted to retain Mrs. Hughes were: Magistrates Reynolds, Steers and Voorhees-3. There are seventeen magistrates on the board, and a majority vote of nine is necessary to carry a motion to dismiss a subordinate.

The affirmative vote was one short of the necessary number, and so Mrs. Hughes won the day. Mrs. Hughes has been many years employed the Coney Island court. and her husband, who dead, were engaged in "rescue" work on Coney Island for a long time.

This church, which is at 191 South Second street. is self-supporting, depending entirely upon the contributions of members and friends for support. It feels the struggle considerably because of the changed conditions of the population, and plans are under way to perpetuate the work and not abandon the Eastern District, which has been talked of through union with some other congregation. The pastor says the principal aim of the church has been to preach the gospel to the poor, which will be continued. CRIES "FRAME JURY ACQUITS HIM Murder Charge Against Italian Fails -Accuses Two Detectives.

Asserting that he was the victim of a "frame-up" by two Italian detectives, with one whom he had viously been in trouble, Michael Grimaldi, 21 years old, who has previously been convicted of carrying a revolver and receiving stolen goods, was acquitted last night by a jury before Judge Roy, in the County Court, of the charge of murder in the first degree. Grimaldi's charges against the detectives were given with dramatic efCornered on cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Everett Caldwell, vho was prosecuting the case, and unable to account for apparent discrepancies between his timony at the trial and a statement made to Assisant District Attorney William P. Allen, Grimaldi stormed in the witness chair and finally shouted: "I'm framed up. I won't answer any questions. I don't know a thing about this case.

They have framed me up." The hysteria continued for a few minutes after he reached his seat, but even when he had calmed down Grimaldi persisted in his refusal to resume the witness stand and submit to further cross-examination by Mr. Caldwell, despite the advice of his counsel, W. Martin. The trial of the case had been eventful until yesterday afternoon. Grimaldi was accused of shooting Angelo De Nicola in a barber shop, at 121 First street, on December 12.

The principal witness against Grimaldi was a man who had previously been arrested and charged with the crime (himself. This point was brought out by Mr. Martin. The counsel for the defense also brought out the fact that this witness, who said he was twenty feet from the scene of the shooting, swore that he heard six shots, while Enrico Laura, in whose shop the shooting occurred, said he heard only one shot. The jury which heard the case was out about four hours before it returned its verdict of acquittal.

The party of forty negroes and their families which sailed from Galveston on June 1, 1914, to settle on African land owned by their leader, Chief Sam, must still be roving the ocean. This was the statement made yesterday by the Rev. Isaiah B.

Scott. negro Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Diocese of Liberia, who arrived on the Spanish liner Buenos Ayres for his regular biennial visit here. Bishop Scott said that he had learned the ship had been captured off Dakai by a British cruiser and then released. Since then nothing had been heard of the expedition. SYMPATHY FOR PRISONERS.

Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Would that all those in Sing Sing might witness that remarkable photodrama of Victor Hugo, "Les Miserabies," with its accompanying beautiful masses and its soul-stirring story of Jean Valjean! There would be an awakening that would forever close the prison doors behind these men. Surely the long years of remorse should more than satisfy those who have enjoyed the advantages of birth, and breeding, and whose environments have protected them. Staggering thought that we should assume the prerogative of the Creator, to whom alone, belong the issues of life and death! Life for us brings its tremendous responsibilities. Not the least of these is the lifting of the dark shadows of earth, using the intellect God has granted us to solve these problems of life intelligently. This is the white man's burden.

May he realize the dawn of a new era. MARIE WILKS FLAGG. Brooklyn, June 7, 1915. MAN STRUCK BY AUTO. When crossing Fifth avenue today John Burke, 22 years old, of 852 Seventy-second street, was struck by an automobile, owned by J.
