Flatbush Taxpayers Think the Scheme a Good One Points in Its Favor. The committee on railroads and transportation of the Flatbush Taxpayers Association has sent the following communication toUhe Public Service Commission: "We desire to call your attention, to the Imperative necessity of increased transit facilities for the benefit of those whose daily business Involves the journey from Flatbush to Manhattan. "The citizens of Flatbush and Taxpayers organizations throughout tbe Borough of Brooklyn have Indorsed tbe plan and proposition of Mr. F- B. Behr, which would ameliorate the conditions at the New York end of the Brooklyn Bridge.

"Mr. Behr has placed his patents for the monorail system to be freely used for public bidding. "The proposition Is to carry passengers from Manhattan via the. Atlantic Avenue Ferry, from the Battery, thence by a route to be finally settled by you, through Flatbush to Coney Island, for a single 5-cent fare, ferriage included. "The building of this road requires no outlay by the city, no Increase of Its bonded indebtedness, but Instead, will be a source of Income by the payment to the city of the terms embodied In the franchise, thus doing away with the question of tbe debt limit of the city.

The system Is an Ideal one, its structure for a double track needing only a single row of columns in the center of the street, carrying two girders, one for each track, only 2 feet 8 inches wide, in spans of about fifty feet, the center lines of tbe girders being about 12 feet 6 inches apart, with no cross girders or ties stretching from curb to curb as now prevails on elevated roads. If a single column Is used for the double track, the amount of space taken from the street would not exceed two feet. "It Is artistic In design, does not 'obstruct light and air. and can be con structed in a remarkably short time. ine limit of speed on the 2-raft road, for main line is an average of 64 miles per hour, and In cities Is something less than 30, as on our present systems, which In many cases does not exceed 15: where as on the monorail system this can eas ily oe doubled.

"The Behr high-speed monorail Is en tirely different from other monorail sys tems in me lact that its well known safety does not depend upon the flanees of the wheels nor upon the weight of the cars, mis tact is indorsed by eminent engineers of this and foreign countries, which are well known for their proficiency In railroad building. lne slow-speed steam line In Ireland has been working for 19 years, the reports of which, I understand, are In the possession of the Commission. The Inspector General of Belgian State Railways and President of the Royal Com mission appointed to report, on the ex tensive trial held at Brussels In 1897. Monsieur Gerard, said: 'I am Derfectlv satisfied that It will be impossible to attain a high speed on the present- railways unless the (Behr) monorail is accepted and Also: 'A speed of 1H) miles could be easily and safely attained. it nas Deen indorsed by Lord Kelvin, who is the consulting engineer, together with Sir William Preece, to the Behr In this country It has- the un qualified approval of Gustav Lindenthal, Samuel Rea, Joseph Ramsey, William Barclay Parsons and many others.

in view of the safety, high soeed. short time In building, and the relief from long and tedious rides, we beg; your serious consideration of the foregoing. "Albert Edwards. Gilbert L. Hassell, J.

TO Dl ALL RAILROADS Says He Could Achieve This If All Should Come Within His Control.

AGAINST FEDERAL OWNERSHIP. Tims Not Ripe Would Be Better Suited With Every Line in His Possession. Reno, August 16 "All of the rail roads In tbe country would be mine If I could get control of them," said Edward H. Harriman to a reporter for the State Journal on his arrival at Sparks, the division terminal, yesterday, in the course of an interview during which he discussed his work and his ambitions. "I have been quoted seriously for an ex presslon made Jocularly to the effect that I would manage the railroads for the fed eral government, that I would turn my holdings over to the United States for a fair compensation and act then as a commissioner," Mr.

Harriman continued, "But I am misunderstood. Tbe time has not come for federal ownership. Personally, with all the lines In my possession, I would be better suited." Remarking that since Mr. Harriman does not yet own all the railroads of the country, a statement of his policy, In the light of the renewed agitation for more drastic regulation by the federal government with respect to those he doeB own would be of Interest, the reporter asked: "What Is your policy concerning the management of the railroads that we are told you own?" "It is to pay dividends," came the decisive answer. "Since 1898 we have spent 1300,000,000 for improvements.

We want some returns. Don't you think we are entitled to returns from such an expenditure? Mine, then, is a financial policy; I watch that end of the game. Other matters are left to the officials concerned with them. There Is not much to that policy excepting to make a good investment better. Results they bring success.

"Agitation of the abuses on the railroads makes harder the accomplishment of local improvements. Facts that in themselves are Insignificant are magnified and distorted by the publlo mind until they become harmful to the interests of the public and to us. It is the spirit of the age and the newspapers so what can we do?" "Why did you not answer the questions put to you by the Interstate Commerce Commisssion, and will you answer them when the proceedings brought by the Department of Justice force you to appear for the second time?" the reporter asked. "I refused to tell what I knew about the Chicago and Alton purchase because the questions put to me dealt with matters of policy," Mr. Harriman replied.

"Some of them I would not answer any more than you would if asked from whom you bought your suspenders or how much you paid for your shirt. I could not, to be specific, answer all the questions in Justice to my associates in the purchase. "But, now that the proceedings have been started to get these replies, I will probably not refuse again. Inquiries directed at me In connection with the Chicago and Alton ease will perhaps result in the answers desired by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was a business principle Involved that prevented mt from answering questions.

I may answer when the matter comes up again." In closing the Interview Mr. Harriman declared that In the future the policy of his roads in the matter of rates, extensions, will be to develop the State of Nevada and the entire Western territory, through both the North and South lines. Mr. Harriman positively declined to discuss politics. Continuing, he said that San Francisco was the natural tidewater terminal on the Pacific coast and nothing could dislodge Her from that position.

"The railroads and the capital center there, and despite the efforts to that end neither Seattle. Oakland nor any other city will ever be able to destroy San Francisco's paramountcy."

August 16 The three-masted schooner Maggie S. Hart of New York, coal laden and lying in the mouth of the James River, oft Newport News, ready to sail north took fire early today and sustained $3,000 damage before tugs that went to her assistance succeeded in extinguishing the blaze. The Hart was built at Waldoboro, in 1885. TRACED BY FINE MUSIC Taken From lee Cream Parlor Where It Charmed Half of East New York. SLEUTHS 2 WEEKS AT WORK.

Their Vigilance Rewarded Whsa They Heard Operatic Selections in a Dean Street House. Not only for professional musicians but for detectives also Is a cultivated musical sense advantageous. The tracking down of a stolen phonograph by Detectives Hoaglund and Collins of the Brownsville precinct amply demonstrates that fact. With nothing more than an acute perception for high class harmony they discovered a machine that was stolen two weeks before from a confectionery store at 2006 Atlantic avenue. The Incongruity of the Btralns from "II Trova-tore" floating on the Brownsville breezes was sufficient grounds for tbem to Investigate the matter.

Tbe machine In question was owned by Mrs. Clara Young, who keeps tbe store at the above address. It was presented to her by Prank Leffman of Ralph and Atlantic avenues, whose tenant she Is. It was an expensive phonograph, being valued at (300. Half a hundred records were bought for It.

Mrs. Young has do use for the popular music ground out by the hand organs. She regards It as trashy. For that reason most of tbe music reeled off by the machine was from the grand operas or tbe classical light operas. When it was Installed In the Ice cream store business Increased perceptibly.

Tbe patrons were highly pleased with the Innovation. When the "Jewel Song" from "Faust" was sung all conversation ceased. Love stricken swains and sweethearts lingered when the silvery tones of Melba's voice filled the store. The clicking of spoons kept pace with the rhythm of "Cavalleria Rusticana." The tenor notes of Caruso's rendering were as potent in holding customers as were the deeper chest tones of Pol Plancon. Catering to the esthetic tastes had its result in the cash register.

Mrs. Young was brought around to the view of Oscar Hammersteln, who said that tbe people will always pay for the best. Record after record was added and the patrons were entertained with an infinite variety of classical selections. It was the best substitute for grand opera that Atlantic avenue knew. Night after night the tables were filled and remained so until the operator of the phonograph In sheer exhaustion was compelled to call a halt to the demands for "that Nordics record again," "Won't you please play the 'Anvil Chorus'?" and like requests.

All was well until two weeks ago, some bold, bad burglar entered the store in tbe dead of night and carried away the machine and all the records. They did not take the cash register, nor did they, attempt to carry away any of the boxes of choice confections. The person or persons who purloined the phonograph were very evidently musical kleptomaniacs. Tho next night tho usual early evening rush began. Tho customers waited expectantly to hear the new Bond record.

Never a sound came from behind the palm plant. An explanation was sought and tearfully Mrs. Young explained. The patrons were sympathetic, but they preferred their Ice cream and sodas with an operatic accompaniment. One by one they dropped off.

Mrs. Young went to the Brownsville police station and told her story to Captain Reynolds. He heard that the waxen reproductions of the human song birds were among the loot. Mrs. Young emphasized that feature of the loss.

He called Hoagland and Collins from the rear room. "You men seem to know a good deal about music," he said. "I beard you arguing about the relative merits of the Conrled and Hammerstein contraltos. Supposo you take this case in hand." The two sleuths put on their gum shoei and went on the trail. They visited every store in Brownsville and East New York, but, although they saw phonographs and graphophones of every description, there was none that answered to the description of the stolen machines.

Then there was another fact that confirmed their doubts. All the records of the phonographs they looked at were of the barrel-organ variety. Among the lot they saw no grand opera records. Failure faced them and when they had been on the search for two weeks tbej were ready to confess their non-success, but yesterday, as they were walking along Dean street, near Buffalo avenue, the sound of melody smote their ears. They stopped at once, and, above the noise of a passing junk cart, they heard a strain that seemed familiar.

Startled, they looked at one another. "Sounds like the sextet from 'Lucia' to me," said Hoaglund. "The sextet it is," assented Collins, as he, with his colleague, wended his steps toward the direction whence the sounds emanated. Then the music stopped. Baffled, they stood in the street, vaguely wondering whence the sounds had come.

Then the discordant hum that precedes the rendering of a phonographic selection again reached their ears. The tuneful wall of the prisoner to Leonora in the scene Irom "II Trova-tore" was the record. The sound led them to the house at 1882 Dean street, and before the record had run out they entered the apartments of Mrs. Mary Corcoran. The phonograph record had lust wound itself out as they got In.

An explanation was demanded. Mrs. Corcoran said the machine had been given to her by her son, James Mulvey. According to the Btory tbe young man told her. he had bought the phonograph and the records from a second hand dealer on Fulton street.

The number on the machine was 4721. the same as that given to the police by Mrs. Young. The two detectives are now trailing young Mulvey, to get his version of it. DESERTED WIFE'S SEARCH.

Followed Husband Here From Russia, and Now, Penniless, Asks Aid of Police to Locate Him. Deserted in Russia, Mrs. Bertha Freed-man, 28 years old, of 656 Stone avenue, came to this country three years ago to find the husband, Solomon Freedman, who had left her In the old country. As yet no trace of him has been found, so she has enlisted the aid of the police. With the promise that ho would work hard In America to build a home, tho bus-band came to this country shortly after his marriage, four years ago.

Letters reached the old country at Irregular periods and finally ceased altogether. The wife wrote appcallngly to the addresses ho had given, but no word In reply reached her. Fearing that some harm had befallen him. she. by dint ot hard labor and rigid economy, managed to accumulate enough money to come to the United States.

Her quest here was fruitless. She heard of her husband in several places, but he always managed to elude her. At last she heard he Was in Brownsville. All through the Jewish district sha looked for the lost husband, but even among his own people he was not to be found. Her funds ran out and she was In a state of destitution when Mrs.

Harry Schlosberg, the wife of a Brownsvill builder, took her to her home at 053 Stone avenue. Acting Captain Glynn of the Brownsville precinct has detailed several detectives to help the womin find her husband. 3 P.M. 4 P.M. 5 P.M.

Margaret Barrett, 8 years old, of 217 Hudson avenue, was knocked down and run over while In Hudson avenue near Concord street, yesterday afternoon by a truck driven by Bernard Murray, 23 years old. of 846 Rogers avenue, who is in the employ of the Moquin, Offerman, Wells Coal Company, foot of Adams street. The child was taken by Ambulance Surgeon Prentiss to the Brooklyn Hospital, where she died at 3:50 o'clock this morning. Murray was arrested by Patrolman John Crdland of the Flushing arenue precinct, on a chargo of criminal negligence. This morning when the defendant was taken before Magistrate Naumer In the Myrtle Avenue Court, the charge was changed to that of homicide and Murray was paroled In the custody of his counsel pending the result of tbe coroner's Inquest.

POLICE LAUNCH NEEDED. None Available for Use on Jamaica Bay at Present Officers Hampered in Their Work. There Is need of a police launch in Jamaica Bay on the Kockaway side. The precinct lines run over as far as Goose Creek, and if any trouble arose at any of the Btations along the railroad trestle across the bay or on any ot the lslanda. there would be no way In which the police from the Rockaway Beach precinct could reach the placo after the last train had left the beach.

It has already happened that an officer was sent after a prisoner to one of the stations aloi.g the trestle on the last train, and as there was no train from Long Island City or Flatbush to bring him and bis prisoner back to the beach, he had to remain at the treBtle station all night and return on the newspaper train at 5 o'clock In tbe morning. There Is also need of a launch in cases where bodies are washed up on Kockaway Point, as at the present time, In such cases, the police patrol must make the four or five-mile trip down to the Point through soft sand, which is torture for the horses. Then again, if trouble should arise on the excursion boats running to the beach the police would be unable to reach the steamer. When William S. Devery was Chief of Police he maintained a launch In the waters of Jamaica Bay at Rockaway each summer, and It was found very useful.

NEW FEERY'S FIRST TRIP. The Bay Bidge Now Running on Municipal Ferry. The new municipal ferryboat Bay Rldgo made its Initial trip on tho Thirty-ninth street ferry line from South Brooklyn to Manhattan yesterday morning.

Tho trip was made In eighteen minutes, but It Is understood she can easily cover the distance In fourteen minutes.

The Bay Ridge is of modern pattern and replaces the antiquated West Brooklyn. The Bay Ridge will run with the Cas-tleton and Stapleton until the first of September, when the two up-to-date boats Gowanus and Nassau will be put Into commission. After 7 A.M. the boats run oa a twenty-minute schedule. MAN WITH MOORE IN HER FATHER'S HOME Don Marino Torlonla of Italy the Happy Bridegroom of the Occasion.

Her husband ridiculed the idea, saying that, after thirty years in America, she would find almost nothing of interest in her former home. From that time she has been acting despondent at times. Mr.

Senf handed his two weeks salary to his wife, as usual, last Monday, and Bhe disposed of the money in the usual manner. On Tuesday morning Mrs. Senf arose as usual and prepared the breakfast for the family. Then, after her husband and the older children had left for the day, she dressed her daughter Maggie and was seen by several of the neighbors to leave the house about 9 A.M. Since then no trace of either of them has been found, though the family instituted a search that night, and they fear that some harm has como to the mother and her child.

The Independent Republicans of the Seventeenth Assembly District met for the first time last night In their new headquarters at 407 Tompkin3 avenue. President James Campbell presided. J. A. Heckman, chairman of a committee to draft a letter to be sent to the voters in the district, reported, and the meeting voted to accept a letter, which was in part as follows: "The Independent Republicans of the Seventeenth Assembly District have organized to resist the present policy of the Republican county machine.

We are opposed to the plan of placing unlimited power over the voter.s of the county in the hand3 of a very few holders of pub lic offlco and the practical disfranchise ment of the whole body of Republican i voters. Under the existing policy, which is a direct result of the crafty and selfish manipulation of the election machinery, nominations are dictated absolutely by the party leaders. No candidate for pul- He office Is now selected unless by per- mission of these leaders, and no man who will not promise servile obedience to the machine can have any hope or expecta tion of ever receiving a nomination to any office, however insignificant it may be." George D. Russell, a member of the county committee, expressed his opinion of that committee in plain terms, calling It a nonentity dominated by three men. He referred to the turning down of Municipal Court Justice Van Wart, who sought a nomination for Supreme Court Justice, without mentioning his name, and declared that sach action was unfair.

Mr. Russell said he favored clean politics and organizations run on a business basis. A resolution indorsing the administrations of President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes, commending Mr. "antagonism to trusts," and the Governor's work In connection with the Direct Nominations bill, was passed unanimously.

SAYS III RUSSELL CASE Brooklyn Doctor's Death War Not Accidental, Although Police Say So. ASSAULTED BY SIX MEN. His Medicine Case Found After His Death in an Unfinished Building in Harlem. In spite of the assertion of the police, a coroner's jury in Manhattan decided yesterday afternoon that Dr. James Edwin Russell of 1932 Bedford avenuo, Brocklyn, was murdered.

The official verdict of the jury was that Dr. Russell "was garroted and strangled by a person or persons unknown." The verdict of the coroner's Jury was in accord with the facts published In the Eagle a week ago, when the discovery of Dr. Russell's medicine case in. the basement of an unfinished building near where he was found dying eliminated all other theories but that of murder. Coroner Acritelll, who conducted the inquest, has insisted all along that Dr.

Rus3ell was the victim of murderers. The police, to excuse their" own Incompetence, bavo claimed that It was not a case of murder, but that the Brooklyn physician had fallen and hurt his head. Tha police have worked on the accodent theory from the start and have followed a course that has caused Coroner Acritelll to charge thorn with general inefficiency. Dr. Russell was found unconscious on the steps of a Harlem flat house at 132 East One Hundred and Thirtieth streat, on the morning of July 21.

One of the tenauts of the house found the doctor lying on the steps early in the morning. He called Mrs. Griger, who has charge of the flat, and the woman roused tbe phy3lclan to consciousness. She testified yesterday that he asked her for a glass of milk and that she gave It to him. He told her he had been given a bad beating by six men.

When the police were summoned they found Dr. Russell conscious. He told them he had been set upon and beaten by six young men two nights before he was found. He said be had met the young men on One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. It was quite obvious that the doctor was wrong about tbe time he was assaulted, although It was equally obvious that he had been assaulti-d.

He died at the hospital not long after he was found. The autopsy on his body showed that the doctor had been strangled. The coroner's physician found ample evidence of that fact. Still the police insisted that it was simply a case of a man falling and striking his head. Just across from the flathouoo where he was found is a row of uncompleted buildings, and It was suspected turn the first that Dr.

Russell had been os3aulted by a party of loafers and homeless wanderers who made It a practice to sleep In the basement of the unfinished buildings. This theory was frowned upou by the police. A week ago three boys who were playing mumble-peg In the basement of the unfinished buildings threw an open knife so that the blade struck a hard substance. They dug down and found Dr. Russell's medicine case buried In the sand.

This appeared to be good evidence that Dr. Russell had been assaulted in the buildings, or that his assailants had gone there afterward and buried his medicine case Dr. Russell a couple of years ago offered his body for vivisection. Just to help along tbe cause of science. Coroner Acritelll says he will not let the case drop, but will ask the District Attorney to make an Investigation.
