A A THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1915. 3 IN FIGHT AGAINST 'HOME RULE' Miss Grace C. Strachan Says They Fear City Control of Salaries. RAPS MITCHEL, PRENDERGAST.

Dr. F. A. Cleveland Also Argues Before Constitutional Convention for Saxe Amendments. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, June 25-Miss Grace C.

Strachan, one of the District School ate Superintendents of of Brooklyn, headed a delegation of teachers that protested to the Cities Committee of the Constitutional Convention yesterday afternoon against any provision in the new Constitution that would lay the vs question of their salary envelopes upon the tender mercies of the New York City authorities. "The Mayor and Controller were with us before election, and now they are against us," was the way she summed up the attitude of Mitchel and Prendergast, who both appeared on Tuesday to argue for a brand of home rule that would give the municipal authorities jurisdiction over the teachers' salary lists. Miss Strachan voiced the protest of the formed Federation of Teachers, Associations, president. of The which other she members of that organization who seconded her were Dr. Arthur Perry, one of district superintendents of Queens; John Rafferty, of Public School No.

19, in Brooklyn, and Dr. John H. Denbygh of Manhattan. Controller Prendergast has already said that the teachers may expect material cuts should the local authorities get control, and Miss Strachan was particularly careful to point out that the rates paid now were no more than proper. Miss Strachan produced a schedule of figures, showing what the salaries were.

Sixteen and eighty-seven hundredths per cent. cf the force, 01 3,455, received only $750 a year, she said, and 5,614, or 32.08 per received only between $1,000 and $1,400. Only 48, or 23 per received $5,000, she asserted, and only .07 per or. fifteen, received more than that amount. Dr.

F. A. Cleveland Argues for Direct Appeals to the Voters. Dr. Frederick A.

Cleveland, director of the Bu. eau of Municipal Research, spent all yesterday afternoon before the convention committee on finance, of which Henry L. Stimson is chairman, and the committee on Governors and other State officers, over which Republican State Chairman Frederick C. Tanner presides. He argued for the adoption of the John Godfrey Saxe amendments seeking to provide for a State budget initiated by the Governor, and means whereby, in the event of a deadlock between the Legislature and the Governor the issue may be submitted to the.

voters at an election that same year. The Municipal Research proposal would provide that in case of a division between the Executive and the the Governor might dissolve the Legislature, in which case both he and the members of that body would have to stand for re-election that fall, so that the issue in the deadlock would be foremost in the campaign, and be put directly to the people. present," declared Dr. Cleveland, "there is no way in which the Governor can go before the people on any great question of policy on which he has joined issue with the Legislature." Speaking of the budget plan he said: "This State has no budget system and never had any. There should be one.

The Governor should submit it and in it he should be specific about his recommendations, SO that there will not be any queston about 000 more or less." Ex-Governor Martin H. Glynn has been invited to appear before the committee next week. FEDERAL CLUB PLANS OUTING.

SINNERS LADY BUCKMASTER, WIFE OF BRITISH CHANCELLOR LADY BUCK MASTER One of the prominent women, socially, in England, now that her husband has been elevated from the Treasury Bench to the Lord Chancellorship of the Empire. Brooklyn Society Miss Ruth Lewis, the Bride, Feted at Shower Yesterday. There is by no means an end, as yet, to the brides of June.

One of these brides-that-is-to-be is Miss Ruth Lewis, whose wedding day is Tuesday and who is to marry T. Stuart Haller of Frederick, a scientific farmer. Miss Lewis is the Packer class bride of this year. Yesterday she was entertained by Miss Evelyn Baker at a luncheon at Miss Baker's home at Belle Harbor. This proved the prettiest sort of event and turned out to be a shower.

Silk stockings were what fell to this Packer bride. The luncheon was in lavender and gold, lavender and gold because these are the colors of Miss Lewis' and Miss Baker's sorority, Lambda Alpha Sigma. On the luncheon table were baskets of daisies tied with lavender tulle. Eight girls in all took part in this luncheon, the company comprising: Miss Baker, in embroidered net over pale blue; Lewis, in dark white, blue taffeta; Miss Gladys Douglas, in gray taffeta; Miss Elizabeth Shepard, who is to be Miss Lewis' maid of honor, in tan crepe de chine; Miss Edna Lyons, Miss Hannah Goodwin, in navy blue and green-striped taffeta; Miss Florence Baker, in white and yellow; Miss Lillian Caddell, in dark blue. The favors at the luncheon were little pictures of Miss Lewis, in silver frames, snap shots of this bride-to-be, made by Miss Baker in the Packer gardens.

At Miss Lewis' cover, however, while there was the same silver frame there was another photograph. It was one of Mr. Haller, a snap shot that Miss Lewis did not have and did not know that Miss Baker had discovered. The bride-to-be very highly prized it. Before Miss Lewis at the luncheon table stood a package decked with the lavender and gold of Lambda Alpha Sigma.

It contained the silk stockings of the day, a great surprise to the bride-to-be. A gay beach party followed, and the guests came back to town on a late train. Y.M.H.A. ELECT OFFICERS Grover M. Moscowitz Again Head of Organization.

D. Talks Harmony at South Magistrate Brooklyn Club. Magistrate Alexander Geismar was the chief speaker at the final meeting of the season of the Seventh Assembly District Democratic Club which was held last night in the club house at 589 Fourth avenue. That the South Brooklyn club is growing was shown by the fact that sixty-one new members were recorded at the meeting. Magistrate Geismar, who was introduced by John J.

Howard, the president of the club, spoke concerning the workings of the harmony committee. He predicted marked success for the Democratic ticket. Senatole gave William a short Heffernan history of also the club. SETTLE SUIT FOR SLANDER. Mrs.

McFarland Withdraws Action Against Drug Concern. The suit brought by Mrs. Emily H. McFarland, wife of Robert J. McFarland, against the Riker drug concern for alleged.

slander has been settled out of court. Mrs. McFarland alleged that, although she paid for some purchases made in the concern's Fulton street store, an employee accused her of attempting to evade payment on several articles. John S. Allen, now a director of the Riker Hegeman Company, who was president of the Riker concern at the time the incident concerned, has writ.

ten to Mrs. McFarland's attorneys, Bradley Wilson, of 38 Park Row, disclaiming the action of the employee who is said to have addressed insulting remarks to Mrs. McFarland, and apologizing on behalf of his concern. Mrs. McFarland feels that she has been exonerated.

BEN PEATE SHAKES THE EARTH. Scrimmage Only One Feature of Jolly Outing of Tenth Assembly District Democrats. Everyone who went on the annual excursion of the Juanita Democratic Club of the Tenth District, yesterday, to Witzel's College Assemble. Point, L. had a good time, if for no other reason than that he couldn't help' himself.

The crowd was happy from the moment when Joseph A. Coyle led them, 500 strong, from the clubhouse, at Adelphi street and DeKalb avenue, until they returned, tired, but still happy, to the clubhouse again, about 10:30 o'clock last evening. The weather couldn't have been better; the day was ideal, with a stiff breeze blowing down the river, that made the oldest boy on the outing feel as young as the youngest. Also, not a single incident occurred which in any way interfered with the outing being a complete success, for success it certainly was. The members left the clubhouse headed by a big band and marched to the foot of Clinton avenue, where the Ajax was waiting to carry the party to College Point.

The boat left at 11:45 o'clock, and a little over an hour later the "boys" were making an excellent breakfast look pretty sick. After breakfast Richard Meehan chairman of the athletic committee, took charge of affairs and proceeded to carry out a programme of track events, which was followed by a baseball game between the Southsiders and Northsiders. When the nine innings were over the younger fellows were pretty tired, and it was then that the "old 'uns" came in for their share of the fun. Someone had brought along an Association football and--well, in about two minutes fifty or sixty were kicking it, and if they couldn't succeed in kicking the ball they contented themselves with kicking somebody's shins. The climax came when couple of Ben Peate and Joseph Bowen got tangled up with the ball and several other things all at the same time.

The result was like an earthquake--at any rate the ground seemed to tremble as Ben Peate sat down, and was very ably assisted in SO doing by a score or more. He broke his straw hat, but otherwise he was all right. As. everyone knows, association football is played in a wide space, where there is plenty of room. The Democrats changed the rule and preferred to play it among the benches where the chubby fellows were taking siestas in the shade.

This melee lasted until Joseph A. Coyle, at the head of the fine band, informed the crowd that dinner was ready. Strange to say in about a minute and a half there was no one to be seen where a short time before had been an army of football warriors. At the conclusion of the dinner Edward Lazansky, former Secretary of State, now president of the club, made a few remarks expressive of the fine time which everyone had enjoyed. He then presented to the winners of the athletic contests the prizes which they had won.

Among the prizes were a silk umbrella, a leather suitcase, leather handbag, a smoking stand, a thermos bottle and a sea lion cigar case. The results of the games were as follows: 100-yard dash- Won by William J. Moran; second, J. Corrigan. Time 10 4-5 seconds.

220-yard dash--Won by G. Delaney. Time, 26 seconds. Sack race--Won by Paul Henry; second, Charles Tietgen. Time 15 seconds.

Shoe race Won by R. Ryan; second, J. Mantia. Fat man's race--Won by W. Bergen; second, Joseph Bowen.

On the forward upper deck some: excellent entertainment was afforded by Charlie Miller, who recited in fine dramatic style, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," "The Yarn of the Nancy and other selections. The Ajax docked at about 10:15 and a crowd awaited the members of the club with cheers. They formed into line and marched, Joseph A. Coyne again in the lead. to the clubhouse, where there was a fine display of fireworks.

SURGERY IS DISCUSSED. The June meeting of the Homeopathic Medical Society of Kings County was held at the Medical Library Building, Tuesday evening. Three interesting papers were read covering the subjects of surgery and preventive medicine. Dr. E.

Lion (ollars OLDEST BRAND IN AMERICA UNITED SHIRT COLLAR BRYAN SPEAKS TO 50,000 Weissmann, Brooklyn Lawyer, "Knocks" President. Nearly 50,000 Americans, mostly hyphenated, thronged to the doors of Madison Square Garden last night to hear "the silver -tongued orator" make war against war. The crowds turnenormous that had thousands content them- were selves with lesser Bryans, addressing them from improvised rostrums in the square.

Henry Weissmann, the noted Brooklyn lawyer, 473 McDonough street, president of the United GermanAmerican societies, was the chairman of the meeting. Mr. Weissman opened his address with a skillfully thrust criticism of President Wilson's conception of American war sentiment. He eulogized William Jennings Bryan, depicting in unrestrained terms the latter's coming tour throughout the country. New York newspapers were treated to no mild little spanking, to which entertainment the audience responded enthusiastically.

Mr. Weissmann carefully explained to the reporters, as well as the audience, that he had never voted for Bryan, but that he was ready to receive him cordially into the hyphenated atmosphere. Ending with a compliment to the "miserable little which the Weissmann audience again responded--Mr. introduced Mr. Bryan.

Bryan, after quieting an almost irrepressible demonstration, began in quiet, powerful tones to explain his resignation from the Cabinet. He deplored the hostile attitude of the press toward him and achievements. Patriotism, he contended, implied defense of the mother country, not only in to preparation for war, but regard in regard to the maintenance of He urged America to wait until peace. the war was ended before beginning action that eventually might lead to hostility. "An angry man talks only of what he can do," he said, "but a man who has cooled speaks of what he ought to do.

Public sentiment eventually will decry the practice of war, as it has the practice of slavery." FINAL ARIANI RECITAL. Testimonial to Pianist After Modern Music Programme in Memorial Hall. The final piano recital of the series of fifteen, given by Sig. Adriano Ariani, took place last night in Memorial Hall. The programme was an instance of modern music, and it was highly interesting.

Cesar Franck's "Prelude, Choral and Fugue" began the concert happily, its depth of feeling and its lofty meaning being well interpreted, the "Fugue" was fluently given, and the number throughout overflowed with interest. Max Reger's "Variations and Fugue on a Bach Theme" diversified the programme pleasantly, the Bach idea being carried out by Sig. Ariani effectively, though the Reger form, in which it was cast, was well preserved. Rendano's "Variations on a Calabrese theme, like a Gavotte and Calabrese Song," proved to be exquisite, in parts, and it was played with much charm. The final number of the programme, the "Fourth Sonata," by Scriabine.

was exceedingly modern in type. Only a master of the piano can interpret it. It was so interpreted last night. It so lacks construction, compared with the smooth and melodic phrases of Mozart Beethoven, that it needs transparency of rhythm and expression in orto make it comprehensible. It shone out like a kaleidoscope of sound last night, and its "finale" drew together all of its odd themes, so that "the end was peace." The enthusiasm of the audience over Ariani was even more manifestly shown last night than ever before here.

He was presented with a basket of American Beauty roses. He played for his double encore the "Rigoletto Paraphrase," by Liszt, at the close of the programme; also a Liszt and afterward held an impromptu reception on the platform. "TUNERS AND THE WAR" Eagle Story Doubted by Presto, Chicago Publication. The of the "German" tuner who refused to touch an "English" piano at Bay Ridge was not reprinted in the Presto because paper believes it. We rather incline to the belief that the agile reporter for The Brooklyn Eagle thought he had an original idea, and sprung it on his city editor without considering its incredibility.

According to the story, the tuner employed by a "well-known" New York piano house. That isn't reasonable, for there is probably no piano house in New York that is operated by hyphenated Americans. American piano manufacturers are all Americans, notwithstanding that they embrace natives of nearly all of the intellectual peoples of the earth. We have many piano makers of German descent, a number from land, Sweden and France. There are also flourishing American piano industries owned by former citizens of Italy.

But there is probably no New York piano house who would retain a tuner who refused to "touch" a piano because long ago it happened to come over from England, other country. There are very few "English" pianos now in active use in the United States. There are many more German and French pianos here. The total number from all foreign countries would make many "carload lots" at this time. And if there is an "English" piano at Bay Ridge, as told by the Brooklyn reporter, it must be in a local museum-perhaps the original bug brought over by John Jacob Astor.

We hardly think that The Brooklyn Eagle could name the tuner and his place of employment. If it can do so it should in justice to. other New York piano houses of the "wellknown" the Presto, Chicago. It was Mrs. Stuart W.

Ogilvye of 747 Forty-ninth street who had the I experience with the German piano tuner. The tuner was sent out by the firm of Hardman, Peck Co. At the offices of the company the statement was made that tuner who to the home of Mrs. Ogilvye was "a rather erratic and very old German, a very good tuner, but one accustomed to do about as he pleased." The piano in question, at the home of Mrs. Ogilvye bears the label of "Munt Company, London, S.
