PROPOSE RAZING WING TO REBUILD LIBRARY CHEAPER City Experts Estimate Structure Can Be Kept Within $8,000,000. In order to reduce the cost of building the Brooklyn Central Library to about $8,000,000, it was learned at the City Hall yesterday, it may be necessary to tear down the part of the building already constructed. This is the first story of the left wing, which extends along Flatbush ave.

and has stood there, with a high wooden fence around it, for many years. The wing is constructed of Tennessee marble, the most costly building material that can be found in this country outside of granite. It was pointed that the only practical way of achieving a substantial reduction in the cost of the building, without making extensive changes in Its size and arrangement of its interior, would be to use either Missouri marble or Indiana limestone for the outside walls. materials are cheaper than Tennessee mar- ble. Guider Urged Revision.

When the original plans for the Brooklyn Central Library were made back 1906, its cost was estimated at $7,500,000. Since then the cost of labor and material has gone up 100 percent at least so that the cost of the structure today, it erected in accordance with existing plans and specifications, would be not less then $15,000,000.

although city engineers have reported to the Board of Estimate that with certain economies it could be done for $11,000,000. No Revision Yet. "It is therefore apparent," said The Eagle's informant, "that if the cost of the Brooklyn Central 1 Library Is to be cut to $8,000,000 or 000, a very thorough revision of the plans and specifications will be necessary." As to this proposed revision no beginning, it was ascertained from an authoritative source, has yet Been made. and will not be until the Board of Estimate has taken definite action on the projected $750,000 appropriation for the Brooklyn Central Library which appears on the board's speelal financial calendar. The Committee of the Whole has not (yet given its approval to this allowance which would permit, after the specifications have been modified, immediate resumption of work on the building.

According to an influential member of the Board of Estimate, the ultimate cost of the Brooklyn Central Library will have nothing to do with this prospective appropriation which, he said, would be granted in any event as far as he knew.

HALKETT ACCUSED AS GRAFT RECEIVER BY UNION OFFICIALS Brindell Successor Ordered to Bar Issuing of Cards to Carpenters. After hearing a mass of accusations and denials that "graft" had been passed in the fight for the control of Local 2717 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Official Referee sell Benedict in Supreme Court terday afternoon declared that yes; members of the suing faction are not permitted to obtain valid working cards at once he will resume hearings on Wednesday and continue them until the case is finished. This declaration was made after Otto Gillig, counsel I for the faction favored by the District Council officials, had declined to give assurances that the opposing faction members would not be shut off from earning their livelihood. Referee Benedict had tentatively set the next hearing for June. Would Bar Hundreds.

Donald Marks, counsel for the faction which brought the suit, told Referee Benedict he had received copies of instructions sent out by John Halkett and Alexander Kelso that only holders of Local 2717 cards issued by David Martin, now Anancial secretary of the local, should be recognized, and that hundreds of men, seeking to establish their rights in court, would be barred from earn. ing a livelihood. Halkett, vice president of the District Council and 1 president of the Building Trades Council, succeeding Robert P. Brindell in the latter role, was the principal target of the testimony given before Referee Bene- diet. Needed New Members.

Joseph Palley, who was recording secretary of Local 2717, testified that there was a plan, to let in some floor layers with less initiation fee than the constitution of the United Brotherhood called for. There was a membership drive on, the object being to make 2717 so powerful that it would not be merged with 376, a neighbor. Palley testified that they received a letter from Alex Kelso, also of the District Council executive committee, calling attention to the by-laws. He showed the letter to Samuel and Louis Goldberg, who were leading figures in the local, and Samuel Goldberg, who claims to be president and is favored by the District Council officers, declared, according to the testimony: "The only way for us to take them in is to have a talk with Jack Halkett; we can't violate the constitution unless we see him." They went to see Halkett, Palley said, and there Samuel observed that "Halkett must get something out of It." They went over and some days later, so it was testified, Halkett installed the "bargain members" and after the meeting, "at a saloon," he "got $200 out of the business." On another occasion, according to the testimony, Halkett said: "Halkett can't live on promises." And then, Palley swore, Halkett was given $100, at Atlantic and East New York aves. Tells of $400 Passed.

Hyman Meisel of 315 Powell who was local president until last June, said that Samuel Goldberg made a proposition to give Halkett and Kelso some money. They went over to the council room of the Digtrict Council, in Manhattan, and $400 was there passed over to Halkett, who, upon pocketing the money, according to the testimony, said: "All right, boys, I thank you very much and I will take care of you." This was just before Christmas, the witness swore. Mr. Halkett, a small-sized, pudgy man with iron gray hair and positive statements, was called to the witness stand. He denied that he had ever received a cent from members of officers of Local 2717.

Chicago, May 15 (AP) -The ows of the gallows again looms for Russell Scott, who thrice was saved from the death walk in sensational last-minute legal maneuvers. The erstwhile Canadian financier, who once handled million dollar deals and ended as a petty stick-up man seeking a few dollars in drug store holdups, soon will be examined as to his sanity at Chester Hospital for the Criminal Insane. If found mentally sound he will be returned to Cook County to be sentenced to death. Commission Named. A commission to make the test will be named by Judge C.

H. Jenkins, State Director of Public Welfare. The date has not yet been set. Scott was sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Joseph Maurer, drug clerk. But a few hours before the time set for the execution, the morning of July 25, 1925, a petition for an insanity hearing was granted by Judge David, who was roused out of bed by Scott's attorneys.

The hearing was held a week later and, despite the testimony of many State experts that Scott was sane, the jury found otherwise. He was sent to the Chester Asylum to "die insane or await recovery and die on the gallows." Saws Sent to Him. Coincident with the sanity test announcement, an apparent attempt to aid Scott escaping from Chester was revealed led by asylum officials. Rea large box of candy, addressed to Scott, reached the prison and, in opening it, Dr. Stubblefield, superintendent at Chester, found two large saws in false bottom.

Scott has been under close surveillance since. 7 MEN ARRESTED IN 3 LIQUOR RAIDS IN NASSAU COUNTY (Special to The Eagle.) Merrick, L.

MORELAND PROBE INTO PRESSER CASE DELAYED ONE DAY Long, Chief Witness in Scandal, Summoned to Lake George in Another Case. Due to a subpenn summoning Superintendent of Prisons James L.

Strawberries of Various Quality and Prices Lure Brooklyn's Housewives By ESTHER A. COSTER. Brooklyn housewives will treat their families to strawberries for Sunday, no matter what the price. if the predictions of dealers prove true.

Jersey berries are just beginning to come in, but the majority of the berries in market today are of the crop. A few who delight in "exCarolina, tra fancy" fruit and who believe that the best things come, in smal! packages are selling pint boxes of Louisiana berries that have been carefully hand-packed. They are large, ripe and fresh and. of course, correspondingly high in price. High Price for Inferior Stock.

Conditions in East New York, in the neighborhood of Fulton st. and the loop, and on Flatbush between Church and Parkside were studied vesterday. East New York had almost no strawberries. What it did have were of high price and inferior quality. One dealer who had no berries, but whose stock of green vegetables was alluringly fresh and well kept, explained: "I would have had to charge 30 cents for berries today, which is too much for my customers to pay.

It I got the best grade, which is all can sell, I had to pay 27 cents at the market, Tomorrow I will have some, even if they are high, for everybody will buy them for Sunday." New York receiving stations quoted yesterday from 24 to 30 cents box for best grade, the latper ter price being for "extra fancy" and the former for a fresh berry, dry and firm, but not quite so large or choice. Today's prices are a trifle higher, as is usually the case on Saturday. The Wallabout Market wholesalers add a few cents a box and the retailer a few cents more, SO that the average prices today are a little higher than yesterday. Flatbush ave. yesterday showed almost as great a variety of prices as shops, and equally as many qualities.

The finest berries seen were the small boxes of Louisiana berries at 21 cents per box. The dealer assured the writer that two of more the closely packed pint boxes held than an ordinary quart box. How Prices Differ. The cheapest berries found in the section of Flatbush ave. visited were 29 cents for a grade not specially attractive and not always fresh.

The cheapest price found for dry, firm berries that looked fresh and ripe was 35 cents. Larger berries, a little more choice, were 39 and 40 cents a quart box. Nowhere was there a higher price. If the grocer bought the highest grade at Wallabout Market at, say, 33 cents a box, retail price of 39 or 40 cents did a not seem excessive. On the other hand, the few berries found in East New York shops yesterday were 35 cents a box.

They not large nor especially fresh, were SO that the rule that the cheaper sold at a lower price grades always did not hold good in these shops. With the greater shipments of Jersey berries the prices are first exto come down until the pected Island berries appear, when the Long price may give a sudden jump.

World's Largest Creditor. $1,000,000,000 a year. America's Share in World Problems. Asserting that the change from the position of the world's greatest debtor to that of the world's largest creditor had placed upon this try a large share of the responsibility for future international conflict or peace, Dr. Edwards declared that the United States was particularly well situated to carry out a constructive investment policy.

"American finance is primarily concerned in the economic merits of an investment and is unaffected by political considerations which exert so important an influence in other creditor nations," he said. Mr. Van Norman said the shift of the United States from a debtor to a creditor nation was one of the most impressive and significant developments in the financial and economic history of the modern world. Dr. Collings said the present day investment market was internationalized and that America continued to be the great reservoir of free capital, investing abroad, roughly, "Our new attitude world and its problems," asserted Dr.

Collings, "is already established. It took shape with the return of our soldiers from France. The isolation of Washington's farewell address is as dead as the industrial revolution. Political entanglements or no political entanglements, World Court or no World Court, League of Nations or no League, we are inextricably bound up with the world's business and world business can never be separated from world politics."

Robins declared the soviet government was more powerful and stable today than ever before. "It is now time." he said, "to substitute sanity and common sense for hysteria and lying propaganda in dealing with the Russian question.

No charge has been made against the young contractor. The Distriet Attorney, however, and the Police Department have been asked to look for him because of the note situation, and Samuel Widder, attorney for 18 Eastern District business men who advanced cash on his notes, has told his complete story to the officials. The police want to find Wortsman so that he can be asked, at least. to explain the peculiar financial transactions which ended with his disappearance. All of the Wortsman notes, except a very few, were for small amounts.

Most of them were signed by businessmen of Williamsburg and the Eastern District. Wortsman is said to have cashed these notes in the stores and offices of other businessmen, giving 10, or sometimes 20, percent off because of his need for quick cash. Had an Extensive Business. He did an extensive business from 95 Marcy ave. He was a well-known young man in the section, alert and popular.

He had 110 trouble recently in getting from his many business friends almost 000, the police said, on a new series of notes.

opened it, looking for Wortsman at the request of the 18 business men. So far detectives have not found out much that will help them in their search. They have interviewed many of his friends--he evidently had a great many--and have been able to patch together a fairly good theory that he may have gone to -State Binghamton or to some other city where he also had friends.
