Practically every one of the buildings was destroyed.

The dead man Is Anton Piesbach, 70, an upholsterer, who lived alone over his story In a five-room apart ment, lie was pulled out of the doorway, a mass of flames, by Police Sgt. Frank McCue. The blase was discovered about I o'olock In the factory of the Invincible Cloak Company. It Is Delieved it started near the pipeless heater, from bits of fabric which had fallen down the pipe and so overheated the furnace. In any event, the blaze spread quickly and every fireman In the town was called to battle with It for almost three hours.

Finally Checked. Flames leaped from one store to another, eating out the ground floors and the apartments above in no time. The fire was finally checked, but not until It had eaten through the ten stores and had gutted the photograph studio and apartment owned by Mrs. Catheryn Feather. Frank A.

This action was taken In spit of strong opposition by representatives of historical and patriotic societies wnirn desired to have the city retain thla sit as a memorial park and art center, because upon It waa fought on of the decisive engagements of me tsaitie oi ing island. fooiiture Pleads for Parti. A letter from President COolidge favoring th preservation of the ground as a landmark of American history figured In the hearing, let ters from 4f Governors were also presented favoring retention of the para oy tne city. At the conclusion of the hearing Boro president Byrne moved ttiat the application of the Polytechnic Institute be granted on condition that the ao-called Old Stone House be preserved by the Institute aa a memorial of the Battle of Long Island. Aldermanlc President McKee moved that the money collected from private ritlzena In Brooklyn, said to amount to $500,000, for the development of the proposed me mortal park be turned over to the city to be used for playground purposes.

Both proposals were adopted by unanimous vote. Only a day or two ago Governor Smith signed the bill which permits the City of New York to sell the block in question to Polytechnic In stltute. Without this legislation the transaction would have been impos sible, for the reason that the city charter provides that property ac quired by the city under condemna tion proceedings must be used for public purposes. W. C.

Dllthey, representing the Brooklyn Heights Public Forum, was Jtlie principal speaker for the oppo sition. Congressman John BrTonh-on, representing the South Brooklyn Board of Trade, led the forces of the proponents. Indorse Poly Proposal. The Brooklyn Chamber of Com merce, the Houth Brooklyn Board or Trade, the Bouth Brooklyn Business Men's Association and the Park Hlope Post of the American Legion went on record as favoring the Poly proposal. Besides Mr.

Dllthey the argument for retention of the plot as a memorial park were supported by Mrs. Lydia Flannan, Mrs. M. E. La Ralle.

Charles Dttmaa of the Kings County Historical Society, former Deputy Water Commissioner Cornelius M. Sheehan and others. Mr. Sheehan told the Board that the property had been acquired for public purposes and that the city was in honor bound to stick to its contract. He declared the right of eminent domain should never be exercised except for public purposes.

congressman Johnson replied that the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn was not a private but a quasi-public institution. Besides the letter from President Coolidge. Mr. Dllthey presented let ters from 46 Governors who commended the efforts of the Brooklyn Heights Public Forum to preserve one of the most interesting historical spots in the country. Letter From Coolidge.

All of these Governors agreed to send the flags of their respective States to be kept In th "Old Stone House." The President in his letter to Mr. Dllthey said: "Accept my thanks for your letter which tells me that the effort of the ubllo Forum of Brooklyn Heights to preserve the site of the most crit ical engagement of the BRttle of Long Island, Aug. 27, has ended In success. "It Is a real public service to pre serve the great landmarks of American history, and the Forum is deserving of all congratulations. In hlch I am glad to Join.

Your celebration of Independence Day at this historic spot will call attention to the highly military' event which there took place during the Battle of Inland," This letter from the President was sent after the Brooklyn Heights Korum had succeeded in convincing the city authorities that the block containing the old Stone House should be acquired for the purposo of establishing a memorial park there. Mrs. LaSalle produced a petition signed by all the Kbhets Field bal! players requesting that the city deny the application of the Polytechnic Institute. "I present, this petition to -you," said Mrs. LaSalle to the Mayor, "as a sporting man." "I hope," the Mayor replied, "thnt you mean that in the athletic sense." Mrs.

TO PLANT Appeals Court Holds U. S. Had Right to Sell Under Alien Property Act. Dismissal of th auit of Otto Helna and Albert R. Klein.

Germans and former owners of stock and eaeata of th Boerh Magneto Company, hich waa sold for tt.0O.0 by th Government under th Alien Property Act, to recover their one-time belongings, waa announced today by the United State Circuit Court of Appeals. The opinion of the Appellate Court, written by Judge Julian W. Mark and concurred in by Judges Martin T. Manton and Charlea M. Hough, seta forth that "clearly title to the seized property was vested In the United States under the Trading with th Enemy Act," and that "any suit to redress the alleged wrongful disposition of the seized property must be brought by the United States, any claim to property so seized or its proceeds being made In accordance with the provisions or that act.

Nature of the Suit. Klein and Helna brought suit against A. Mitchell Palmer, who was Allen Property Custodian at the time the seizure was made: Francis P. Garvin, as managing director under Palmer of the Allen Property Custodian's office; Martin E. Kern, who purchased the stork when the Allen Property Custodian offered It for sale, and the American Bosch Magneto Company which Kern organized to carry on the business.

Among the allegations made to justify the suit was one that Garvin, acting under Palmer's orders, threatened to have Helns Indicted, thereby coreclng him to sign a statement that enemy aliens owned the seized stock and assets. In the opinion of the court, the nrovislons nf the Treaties of Berlin and Versailles Justified the denial of the relief, sought by Klein and Heine snd "closed the doors to any Judi cial Investigation of the motives or Uu4 States officials, remitting Ger man nationals to their own country for indemnity for any wrongs that may have been done to Subject to Nation's War JPower. Although Helna was never by statute or Presidential proclama tion declared an enemy alien, he was such in fact, even though friendly to the United States, under the Enemy Alien Act, according to Judge Mack, and waa equally subject with Klein to the exercise of the Government's war power. "War powers may be exerted, as well by the treaties which aim to end the war as by earlier legislation." wrote Judge Mack, who also overruled, with his associates, the claim that error had been made in denying the application of Klein and Helns for permission to file amended bills of complaint long after the action had been begun. Heins and Klein were represented by Harvey T.

Andrews, Hiram C. Todd and Ellhu Root as counsel. Isldor J. Kresel appeared for Palmer and Garvin, and Rothwell, Harper and Matthews for Kern and the American Bosch Magneto Company. CASE IS AFTER FIVE YEARS U.

The men, hoewver, did not take permission seriously. An unom- tal spokesman in the group plained: "We're not on strike officially. The men are Just not going to work, however. No court can make a man work against his will. We're taking ua sort of vacation.

It will take the blame off the officers shoulders." Mr. Newman, the attorney, how-over, was more outspoken. "The strike is on," he said. "In defiance of the court's order?" he waa asked. "Not in defiance, but certainly In spite of it.

No court will ask us to do the impossible. The strike was called on Friday. We were served with the Injunction order on Saturday. How could we be restrained from using a strike order which had already been Issued Employer's Counsel Disagrees. Ernest P.

Beelman, counsel for the employing painters, took an attitude in direct contrast to that of the union attorney. "It, when the matter comes up before Justice Callaghan tomorrow, the strike Is not off," he said, "I won't say that I will ask for a citation for contempt, but I will Inform Justice Callaghan that I am ready to go on with my motion to make the temporary restraining order permanent."

There isn't enough work to go around, and here they come and ask for $2 a rfav more. It Just can't be done." The Cropsey restraining order Is returnable before Justice ftepnen Csllaghan in Brooklyn Supreme Court, when the 27 boss painters, on whose application the order was eranted, may ask that the union of ncials be cited for contempt for fall inv to ston the strike. Meanwhile, work on office and nther buildings in course of con duction were held up. although su perlntendents of some buildings declared they expected to have both groups of men back at work tomor row.

The ban against mixed dancing at Eastern Is the only one In the city.

and students at the school say It Is due to the opinions of two om fogies" who have charge of the school. William T. Vlvmen has been principal of Kastern since February, l0O. and for 27 yeara haa maintained that boys ahould dance with boya and girls with girls. Mis Anna L.

Phillips, who began to teach In the school In September, 100, snd who Is now acting principal while Dr. Vlymen la on sick leave, haa consistently followed his policy. Fear Punishment. Class night will be heid this year on May 28. and aeniors of the school said last week that they were hoping to be granted mixed dancing, but were afraid, without alumni support, of being punished for organizing a protest.

Jacob Epstein, member of the Class of January, 1924, and now college sports editor of the New York Telegram, said today that he ex pressed the opinion of most of his classmates In saying that "fewer hypocrites and a bit more broad-mindedness might remedy the situation at Kastern. It is very hard for a new Idea to get a grip in their old-fashioned minds." Oscar Rublneon. member of the Class of June, 1924, and now a student at City College, said: "It's about time the authorities al Eastern woke up. It's a mystery why Eastern does not allow mixed dancing." Harry Fabricant, a student of the same class who la now at Long Island College Hospital, characterized the attitude of the school on dancing as "a narrow-minded gesture." 1 Says Policy Stands. Miss Anna L.

Phillips, acting principal of the school In the absence of Dr. William T. Vlymen, announced on Saturday that the school policy on mixed dancing would not be changed and that she had no further information to disclose. She refused to discuss possible unwholesome effect from having boys dance with boys and girls with girls. A lengthy statement on th dance situation waa Issued today by a member of the class of January, who gave his name but asked that it be withheld.

"The students at Eastern District are being deprived of certain privileges that their fellow students In Brooklyn enjoy," the statement reads in pan. Secret Prom Held. After reciting the history of dance restrictions at Eastern, the student snys: "The climax was reached last term wnen the seniors held a secret prom In defiance of the school an. thoritles, following the farce of class night. After this a press censorship was inaugurated and the authorities made the seniors sign a pledge on the eve of graduation, a sort of apology, asking the names of those who were present at the prom.

The most signincant fact about this af' rair was that the faculty tried to punish the leaders In a secret man ner ana aia not attempt to answer tne cnarges publicly." Paul Val Cohen, who waa a atu dent at Eastern District High School In 1826, termed the restrictions "a blot on the school escutcheon." Jo- sepn Hechtman, vice president of the oenerai organization or Eastern District in 1924; Benjamin Mandelker president of the General Organization In June. and many other graduates wunin recent yeara said they would back any undergraduate protest against the ban on mixed dancing at Eastern. 110.000,000 persons In the United mates, tne Rajah said: Ah, then how manv wives hai ne?"

Cuddling right up in District At torney Banton's arms today, Roberta Jane Tratt, a wlll-o-wlspy chld of 6 with big blue eyes and curly black hair, told her story of neglect by her foster parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Everett S. Pratt of Des Moines, Iowa. When she told how she had been taken from the Hotel Plaza by agents of the Children's Society Friday night, after the complaint had been filed that the child was burned with a curling Iron, beaten and forced to sleep on the floor, her blue eyes grew biggrer and sparkled like diamonds, she was having the time of her life and enjoying the sensation she was creating. A Captivating Child.

Roberta Jane, with the poise of a woman of SO and her cultivated vocabulary, may only be romancing at least, the District Attorney has decided her story must be corroborated before he takes action. But when she Is telling her story she is a captivating child. She's romantic, sure enough, and imaginative, too but she does have the scars of the burns to Bhow. Her story has so Impressed the Children's Society that Col. Ernest Coulter has asked the District Attorney to obtain an Indictment for assault against the child's foster mother.

He promised to investigate and said he would like to speak to the foster parents, but will not send for them. When the case was called, before Judge Young, in the Children's Court this morning, John liara. a New York attorney, representing Mr. and Mrs. Pratt, obtained a week's adjournment.

Vouches for Foster Parents. "These people are friends of mine." Mr. O'Hara said, "and I can vouch for them. I would like a week's adjournment." The motion was granted, and Colonel Coulter, flanked by Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, who said she was Interested In the case only as a welfare worker, gathered up the child and took a taxi down to the Dlstrlrt Attorney's office.

There Roberta June tame into her own. She posed for photographer with Ihe willingness and grace of Queen Marie. She talked about everything under the suij with the girl reporters and winked at the men reporters. She calmly Invited one of the girls to take her to the Zoo and nrnmised to treat to lunch. "I've been here all Ihls time and no one has taken me to the Zoo yet," she exclaimed.

"Isn't that nienn? Let's go after lunch. I'll treat. You come, too, Mr. Plssaro." Want Her Picture. Roberta Jane wanted to be sure that the photographers got her name correctly and she made them nil promise they would xend her the papers with her picture In it.

Her biggest laugh came when somebody Innocently asked hr "what kind of people are tin Piatte?" "I think they must he Scotch; they always have black and white on the bureau" and she said It so naively that every one was sfrald to laugh. She saved the situation when she burst Into merry little chuckles. "lo you know what you are saying?" sho was asked. "Surt do," she answered quickly. Akel for CUcitrclte.

The American bluejackets were forced to fire, Admiral Williams said, to ward off the Chinese who were determined upon revenue because of unauthorised cargo being removed due to the fact that it was endangering the ship." Three Chinese mere wounded, one probably fatally. The melee between the Japanese and natives took place In the Japa nese concession at Hankow. It arew out of a quarrel between a Japanese sailor and a rickshaw collie.

A mob of Chinese Invaded the concession, held up Japanese In the streets and began looting. Sailors were quickly landed from warships In the Yangtae and opened with machine guna to disperse th Chinese, and 12 are reported to have been alain. Americans Fleeing Canton. A general exodus of Americans from Canton to Hongkong; is under way. The American gunboat lam-pagna haa arrived here.

A British gunboat has gone to Wuehow to protect the Britishers there. Americans and other foreigners; are leaving points In central and western Chihll Province as the Can tonese continue their steady ad vance toward Peking from the south. Foreign residents of Kalgan, northwest of the capital, have departed for Tientsin, near the Gulf of Chihll. where they can be quickly embarked In case of emergency. The exodus of foreign women and chil dren from Peking Itself also continues.

Advices from Hankow say all Americans there are taking refuge on hoard vessels in the Yangtse River following yesterdays rioting. The Japanese are faced by what apparently la a serious situation at Hankow and have mshed additional warships there. Seemingly the Japanese are danger of losing their concession at Hankow aa the British did some time ago, and It remained to seen today whether their naval force is concentrating at the treaty port on the Yangtse with the purpose of evacuating the Japanese or lighting to retain the concession. Ten Japanese Carried Off By Molt. Five Japanese civilians and five sailors were carried off by the mob, says a Japanese wireless from Hankow, during the fighting, and were still missing today.

It is believed one of the sailors was killed and thrown In the river. Several Japanese houses In the concession were destroyed, and the homes of those living in Chiakow, a ruhurb, are surrounded by Chinese Vickets. Chlnev Apology Ite ported. Another Japanese message says Oen. Tang Seng-Chih, garrison called on the Japanese Consul-general last night to apologize for the attack on the concession, and promised to do his utmost to maintain peace and order there.

He repeated the request, previously flatly rejected, that the detachment of Japan's sailors, which was landed be withdrawn, on the ground that this would calm the populace and prevent possible further clashes. The again refused the request. The message adds that Chinese guard who wore sent to protect the border of the Japanese concession deliberately fired on the Japanese. Widespread IHsorder Desrrilwt.

Pro tests by the foreign governments over the outrages at Nanking and demands for reparation are expected to be lodged with the Cantonese government in a few days, it was authoritatively stated in Downing Street this morning. Diplomatic exchanges between Washington and London and Tokio continued over the week-end without a hitch. It remains uncertain, however, whether the demands will be made Jointly or in identical notes by the three Powers.

There is also some difference of opinion as to whom to address the notes, but the likeliest recipient is Eugene Chen, Cantonese foreign Minister. France and Italy Ma? Join. Confidence was expressed in some quarters that a triple note from Great Britain, the United Stales and Japan would ko forward to China early this week, hut in other fin-lew opinion was reserved and the action of both the Cnited and Japan was considered as unrertatn. A rumor that Italy and France possibly would join in a protest if one was sent was not confirmed. The probability that Japan would join in the protest was supposed to have been augmented by the incident in Hankow, where the Japanese had to use marhine (funs against looters In their concession.

It was reported that Japan regards this incident very seriously. New Hankow rNLs Feared. Another crisis seems to be approaching at Hankow, Foreign Minister Chamberlain told the House of Commons today. He said, however, that latest reports showed a lull following yesterday's fighting in the Japanese concession there. I lie oretpn Minister said steps were neing taken to reduce the UrlUh community at Hankow to a minimum.

He added that the American authorities were evacu ating their nationals as quickly as possinie. Snys Nanking I.ooling Continue. Advices from Nanking, Sir Austen continued, showed Ihe nationalists to be adopting an increasingly truculent attitude toward foreigners and foreign property. They have fired upon British steamers leaving the port, and looting of foreign houses ii continuing. All foreigners have hten evacuated from Nnnkfng and the Chinese quarter of the city Is reported quieter.
