Long Island City is also to have Its subway celebration tomorrow. After years of delay due to accidents, shifting plans and long-drawn-out disputes, Steinway tube, the first link In that great Queensboro subway that is to be, will at last come into service at noon on Tuesday, and Long Island City is planning to make it one of the memorable occasions of the city's history. in recognition of the great event, will mean the transportation of passengers between Fourth street and Jackson avenue, Long Island Forty street and Lexington avenue, Manhattan, in not more than five minutes, the of the tube for public business signalized opening, by exercises in which city heads, transportation officials and prominent citizens of Queens Borough will take part. These exercises will be held in the Long Island City station of the tube at 11 o'clock. Mayor Mitchel must attend the Constitutional Convention tomorrow and be unable to be present.

There will be brief addresses of congratulation from Borough President Maurice Connolly, Chairman Edward E. McCall of the Public Service Commission, Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough; George J. Ryan of Long Island City and John Adikes of Jamaica, and then, immediately after the speaking, the officials and between four and five hundred invited guests, representing all boroughs of the city, will board the official first train. After this has made the formal initial run to the Manhattan end of the tube at Lexington avenue and Fortysecond street, trains for the general public will be started running at noon exactly, and the dream that had its beginning nearly quarter a century ago in the mind of William Steinway will at last have become reality.

In anticipation of the opening tomorrow, testing trains have been running through the tube for the last week on a fifteen-minute schedule. The employees who will man the regular trains have been operating these testing trains and it is believed they will have become so proficient by tomorrow that there will not be the slightest hitch. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company is the operator of this new transportation link. It is a part of the Interborough's share in the dual subway allotment, and when all the plans contemplated in the dual subway programme are realized, trains through this Steinway tube will extend their route through the Long Island Railroad yards just beyond their present terminus, will turn through Ely avenue and -ill connect with the large Union that is to be built on the Queen. orough Bridge Plaza, there branching off on one side to Astoria and on the other to Corona, by way of Woodside and Winfield, eventually to take in Bayside and Flushing.

Greater Development is Planned. In Manhattan, too, there is still to be a further great development of the service of this Steinway tube. At present it ends some 900 feet from the transit conferent the Grand Central Station. Broadway-Lexington avenue subway is completed, the tube from Long Island City will connect with it. Passengers in the tube, from the opening tomorrow, will be given transfers to the existing subway, but they will have to walk over from Lexington avenue.

An escalator of size will help, however, in bringing passengers to the street from the station that is fifty feet down. It also planned to extend the tube on the Long Island City end so that Point there will be and a the station at Hunter's a avenue Long Island Railroad. When the tube is opened tomorrow, of course, there will be only the stations at Lexington avenue and Forty-second street, Manhattan, and Fourth street at and' Jackson avenue, Long Island City. But even in its present state the Steinway tube is confidently expected by all Long Island City to prove of tremendous value to the community. Those interested in the old Hunter's Point section are particularly jubilant, for they look for a reawakening of its former glory.

It has suffered for some years because of the changing conditions effected by the Queensboro Bridge and the Long Island tunnels, but now those interested in the section are certain that it will experience A real, genuine boom. Real estate values in particular are regarded as certain to increase. So Long Island City, and the Hunter's Point section especially, is Jubilant over the opening tomorrow, and decorations galore are being prepared. The tube, the opening of which is thus to be feted, was first thought of in horse-car days. William Steinway, the piano manufacturer, first concelved the idea, but his plan was to run horse-cars into New York through it.

He organized a company to construct the tunnel beneath the East River, land was bought and digging started. With the changes in transportation conditions brought about by electricity, the original plan for the tunnel was altered, but everything was abruptly halted in December, 1902, when 100 pounds of dynamite, to be used in blasting out the tube, exploded as workmen were trying to thaw out the stuff. Five persons were killed, scores injured, and there was much property damage. Unable to stand the liabilities incurred by this accident, the company went into the hands of a receiver. Construction was then at a standstill until nine years ago when August Belmont acquired the tunnel and completed it.

He had planned a trolley service through the tube, and had actually bought some of the great steel cars that were to be used in it, when he and the then Mayor McClellan became involved in a dispute about the ownership of the tube. Mayor McClellan insisted that the rights of the tube had lapsed to the city. New Safety Devices in Tube. The dispute about ownership continued until the adoption of the dual subway plan. Then the city decided to make it a part of the great project and settled the question of the tube's ownership by paying $3,000,000 for It.

It is estimated that the actual cost of building the tunnel was between seven and eight million dollars. In the operation of the tunnel, two new safety devices will figure prominently. Through one of these, the power, in case of emergency, can be shut off instantly over the entire subway system merely by pressing a button in the dispatcher's office. The other safety factor is afforded by telephones every 200 feet throughout the tunnel TO AID WAR VICTIMS Miss Heyen to Be Nurse in English War Hospital. (Special to The Eagle.) Northport, L.

BOARD OF TRADE ASKS HIGHER FARE Port Washington Men Learn That Trolley Is Not Profitable. TRANSIT co. MAKES APPEAL.

For Past Three Years, President Stanley Says, Branch Receipts Have 1 not Paid Operating Expenses. (Spesial to The Eagle.) Port Washington, L.

The capitalization of the road, he says, is $1,779,350, divided as follows: $979,350 capital stock and $800,000 in bonds. This capitalization was determined by the Public Service Commission, First District, and represents even less than the actual cash outlay in the construction of the road, it is asserted. "After this issue was authorized," said Mr. Stanley, "it was impossible for the reason company to issue its bonds for the that the receipts the road did not indicate that it would be possible ta poy the 5 per cent. annual interest, amounting to $40,000, much less any return on the stock.

The stockholders became Insistent, however, and it was necessary that bonds be issued. These bonds were gotten out on April 1, 1914, and the annual interest of $40,000 must be met in order to save the road from receivership." Mr. Stanley claims that during past three years the receipts of the Port Washington branch have failed to even pay the operating expenses. OUTLINES SCHOOL OF METHODS The Rev. H.

Another May Be Involved in Conlin-Clapham Matter.

(Special to The Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. June 21-Reports of further unusual developments in the Conlin-Clapham case were current here today, coincident with the announcement that Surrogate John Graham had been engaged to defend Donald Clapham when the burglary case comes up in the Nassau County Court on Wednesday.

The home of the individual concerned was ransacked from top to bottom, and much damage was done to the premises, aside from the loss of many articles. It was stated definitely that there is no dispostion in this case to regard the depredations of Mrs. Conlin and young Clapham in the light of "youthful pranks," but rather as the crimes of plain lawbreakers.

No Need for Any Boy to Leave Institution Without Regents' Diploma, Lads Are Told. (Special to The Eagle.) Hicksville, L. June 21-The celebration of the silver Jubilee of St. John's Home for Orphan Boys, which was held yesterday, attracted a large number visitors from Brooklyn and all parts of Long Island. Twenty-five years ago a little house in Hicksville was given to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum Society of Brooklyn, which cares for more than sixteen hundred boys.

From this humble beginning the institution here has grown to be one of the most effective orphanages in the East. The exercises were held on the spacious lawn. One of the most enjoyable numbers on the programme was furnished by the boys' band of St. John's, Brooklyn. Members of the Hicksville board of directors of the society were the guests of honor.

A song of welcome by the boys, under the direction of Mrs. George Breen, oragnist of St. Ignatius Church, greeted the visitors. James Briggs, the first regents graduate from St. John's, who is now in the junior class of Brooklyn a College, made the jubilee historical address.

He told of the need for just such a place and of the realization of this fact by Bernard Earle, one of Hicksville's pioneers, who had given up his house and farm so that the St. John's orphan lads might be able to do outdoor kork and take such exercise as would make them strong and useful citizens. He paid a tribute to the unflagging zeal and interest of the sisters who have done such effective work under supervisorship of Cister Mary Adelaide. "No orphan boy who is earnest and capable need leave Hicksville without a regents' diploma. For those who show any ambition there is an opportunity to obtain a higher education.

I know this because of the wonderful care and itnerest which these good sisters show in the boys placed in their charge," he said. Led by their instructor, Alfred Bernstein, the boys imparted a martial air and a dash of color to the exercises by going through a spirited military drill in trim uniforms. Francis P. Grady was awarded the gold medal for excellence, donated by Senator Barth Cronin of Brooklyn. Young Mr.

Grady was the object of general attention because, in addition to being a gold medalist, he is the youngest boy ever graduated from St. John's with a regents' diploma. He is only 10 years of age. Arthur A. Hanrahan, captain of the ball team, was given the baseball medal-an award that was heartily cheered by theo ther members of the nine.

Silver excellence medals were given to Michael I. Fuperenze and Albert Schock. Louis Monico was in charge of the exercises. Joseph Keany, president of the board, and Arthur Somers, member of the Board of Education and chairman of the Asylum Society committee which supervises the home, made addresses of congratulation upon the remarkable work done by the sisters. After the programme had been concluded the guests gathered at luncheon and then inspected the buildings and the extensive where the hundreds of parentless lads have made such progress.

TWO NARROW ESCAPES. Child Falls Nineteen Feet.

Man' Misses Death at Crossing. Riverhead, L. June 21-While playing a game of "climb highest" a day or two ago, little Nathan Corwinaged about 7 years, fell nineteen feet from the roof of Frank C. Lane's icehouse and landed on his head and face. Miraculously, however, he suffered nothing more than a cut lip.

He is a son of Assistant Fire Chief Nathan T. Corwin. Saturday night Joseph Moore of Aquebogue, driving a horse, tried to beat an express train to the East Main street crossing. If he had had a start of about ten seconds more he and the train would have reached there at identically the same time. As it was his horse turned around sideways, with the steps of the cars barely grazing his legs as it sped past.

A number' of men and women were directly at the crossing. They turned their backs and waited for what seemed to them an inevitable crash and loss of life. They' were relieved when neither happened." ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETS. Riverhead H. S.
