"I am going to the commencement anyway," she faintly assured her father after she was put to bed. Mr. Soper said it would be impossible and she mustn't think of such a thing. "Why a strong man wouldn't attempt such a feat," he assured her, "and for a frail girl to attempt it would be Nevertheless she pleaded 80 hard that Mr. Soper ordere da carriage and she was conveyed to the school building.

She was carried into the assembly room by several of her fellow students. The announcement that she had come to get the coveted diploma, in spite of the painful accident, brought forth cheers from the assembled young people. "There's no braver girl in the world than my child," said the proud father and Principal Gunnison assured him that he had correctly estimated her worth. At the family residence this morning it was stated that Miss Soper was resting comfortably and had suffered no serious setback as a result of her trip to the high school last night. 9,180 SCHOOL GRADUATES This Number Leaves Elementary Schools of Brooklyn.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 25-Former Representative Herman A. Metz is in Washington today. Mr. Metz has just returned from a trip South.

He called at the State Department this morning and congratulated Mr. Lansing upon his appointment as Secretary of State. He also showed the Secretary of several letters from Holland and Sweden which had been opened by British censors. The State Department is now investigating this matter and Lansing was interested hearing what Mr. Metz had to say.

It is also understood that Mr. Metz told Mr. Lansing some of his troubles in getting dyestuffs out of Germany. "I haven't been able to get any dyestuffs from abroad since April 1," said Mr. Metz today.

"We need them badly. While I was in the South I visited several mills, all of which are running short handed because they cannot get colored goods. One factory has just laid off 1,200 employees.

SEE The Sunday Eagle JUNE 27 missing, that is, he is nearly missing twenty- from the stamp window after five years of service in that position, but he is still in the service of the post office, he having been given an easier job where the cold winter winds, which were forever blowing in at his window, would not reach him. It was a hard blow for Thornton when he had to retire from the stamp window. One can make a good many warm friendships in twenty-five years. Then he liked to meet the multitude of different people who came every day to buy stamps.

But advancing reminded him that he must let years up on long hours and be relieved from the effects of cold winds blowing in at his window. It is quite pathetic to see Thornton enter the post office of a morning. He holds his head high and walks past his window without looking at it. Anybody can imagine what his feelings must be. Before he was a post office clerk he was a soldier and fought in the Civil War as a member of the Sixty-first Regiment New York State Infantry.

He was present when Lee surrendered at Appomattox. But this veteran of the war and veteran of the stamp window, is remembered also because he was a popular chorister in Brooklyn for many years. His services were especially sought after as a leader of singing at great revival meetings. Thus he became known to another large body of local people who have recognized the singer at the stamp window where it is estimated Mr. Thornton has handled $2,500,000 during his twentyfive years of service.

MAY CREATE STATE ENGINEERING DEPT. Lewis and Goodrich of Brooklyn Urge it Before Constitutional Convention. INDORSE LATSON'S PROPOSAL. Would Group Surveyors and Other Public Works Boards--Larger Legislature. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, June 25-Nelson P.

Lewis, chief engineer to the Board of Estimate, and Ernest P. Goodrich, chief engineer of the Manhattan Borough President's office, both residents of Brooklyn, appeared before a joint session of the Constitutional Convention Committee on Canals and the Governor and Other State Officers. They argued in favor of the proposal by Delegate Almet Reed Latson of Brooklyn, providing for the creation of a State Department of Engineering, under which shall be grouped the present offices of State Engineer and Surveyor, Highway Commissioner, Canal Board, Department of Public Works, and several other minor allied State offices. The proposed department would be headed by an appointed commission of three, serving twelve-year terms. Lewis and Goodrich represented a committee of engineers made up of delegates from the Engineers Club, the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Institute of Consulting Engineers and the Municipal Engineers of New York City, who are backing the Latson proposal.

At the session of the convention today one proposal was offered by unanimous consent. It came from Delegate Haffen of Manhattan and proposed a reapportionment scheme by which the members of the Senate would be increased from 51 to 55 and the Assemblymen from 150 to 168. In New York City it is provided that the following increases in Senatorial representatives may be made: In Queens from 1 to 2, in Kings from 8 to 9, and in New York and Bronx from 12 to 13. The amendment strikes out the present provision that no county shall have four or more Senators unless it shall have a full ratio for each Senator; no county shall have more than one-third of all the Senators and no two counties which are adjoining or which are separated only by public waters shall have more than one-half of all the Senators.

The principal part in the operetta was played admirably by Miss Melba Belton; Miss Constance Roddy was a charming queen, and Miss Mary Mooney, as the new pupil, created many hearty laughs. TOO SHARP FOR SWINDLERS. Mrs.

Almetz Shouted for Police and "Inspectors" Ran. Alice Almetz of 192 Smith street, complained to the police last night that two men, who represented that they were inspectors from the Fire Department, had tried to swindle her.

The reception followed an eighty-mile automobile a drive after The Eagle party had visited Mount Lowe in the forenoon. About forty private cars were used in taking the tourists on this drive as guests of the Times. Before returning to Los Angeles the procession of autos visited General Otis' farm, The Outpost. General Otis had issued an invitation which declared that "'The Outpost gladly swings open its gates the Brooklyn Eagle party, who are made welcome to its simple hospitality by General Harrison Gray Otis, his family and neighbors, and by his friends in the Los Angeles Times." The invitation added: "Come in and go The visit with General Otis, who welcomed the travelers in person, was delightful.

His country home contains the old adobe house in which in 1846 a treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico was signed by General John C. Fremont and Don Andreas Pico, representing Mexico. The old sycamore tree, still standing, is described by General Otis a's "notorious for having been the scene at different times of the final suspension from all the honest activities of life of some thirteen reckless Ladrones, rather suddenly and somewhat rudely terminating the earthly careers of unlicensed in the equine property of the settlers." The of the tourists to General Otis for his warm hospitality were extended by Hans von Kaltenborn, following which three cheers were proposed by Judge Dickey and given with a will. General Otis made a short and happy response.

TERRACE CLUB ENJOINED Agrees to Order to Prevent It Building Addition. The Terrace Club of Flatbush has consented to the granting of an injunction restraining it for the next five years from making any addition to its present clubhouse at Ocean avenue and Avenue or building a bowling alley on its property.

The order granting the injunction was submitted to Justice Crane in the Special Term of the Supreme Court today. The injunction puts an end for the time being to the plan of club to make a $10,000 addition in the form of a bowling alley to its present clubhouse, for which plans had been obtained. James Cochran, who resides at 6 Tennis court and owns property valued at $25,000 adjacent to the Terrace Club property on Ocean avenue, objected to the proposed bowling alley on the ground that it would impair the value of his property. His counsel, Seibert, Paddock Cochran, and Charles J. McDermott, for the club, agreed that an injunction be granted, restraining the club from making the addition until January 1, 1920.

Motion Picture Men Also Fighting Against Extra Fee in Coney Island Court. The question whether "Splash Me," at the Hotel Shelburne, Brighton Beach, is a cabaret or theatrical performance was taken up this afternoon in the Coney Island Police Court, before Magistrate Geismar, in connection with licensing this place and ather, shown. resorts in Although which the motion perform- pictures ance at the Shelburne resolves itself Into a difference in the license fee, the position of the motion picture exhibitors is more serious. In if they are ordered to have their places their cases, licensed they will have to comply with the rules of various city departments before licenses will be granted to them. Victor Hertz, manager of the Shelburne, was called to court to show cause why he violated the city ordinance in giving a theatrical performance without a license.

According to Assistant Corporation Counsel George Nicholson, who appeared for the city in the case, "Splash Me," which is presented twice every night at the' hotel with a large chorus and many principals prominent on Broadway, is a theatrical performance. Mr. Hertz' defense, however, is that it is merely a superior kind of cabaret, the kind people coming from a theatrical performance at night would like to watch while having their supper. The question as to what constitutes a cabaret will be looked up by Corporation Counsel Polk, for Mayor Mitchel yesterday asked him to write him an opinion concerning the matter. The defense is made that the performance is not presented on a stage, that it has no theme, that there is no scenery, and that therefore it cannot be classed as a theatrical production.

It is advertised as a "seaside diversion in two parts," and as a "ballroom production." The license fee for a theatrical performance is $500; while it is $50 for a cabaret. The case of one of the eleven motion picture exhibitors, Edward Tilyou, manager of Steeplechase Park, is not serious, for he exhibits the pictures in the park, separate from other attractions. Each of the other ten men has expressed his willingness to pay the $100 necessary for the license, but is confronted with requirements of four city departments before he can get the license. Department has its rules for motion picture houses, and so have the Health Department, the Department of Water, Gas and Electricity, and the Bureau of Buildings. The ten men who were summoned are: Frederick W.

Kister of Surf avenue and West Tenth street, Peter Econopouly of the Bowery and Henderson's Walk, Nathan Koppel of Stratton's Walk and the Bowery, Anastos Mavrukos of Surf and West End depot, Samuel Weisberger of Surf avenue and Culver depot; George Geneas of Henderson's Walk and the Bowery, Morris Goldberg of Surf avenue and Culver depot, Harry Conners the Bowery and Thompson's Walk, Samuel Dickey of Surf avenue and West Eighth street, Hubert Muller of Bowery and Oceanic Walk.
