12A.D. FIGHT ENDS: ELECT HEFFERNAN AS DISTRICT BOSS Wins Coveted Post by Vote of 312 to 44. James J. Heffernan, by a vote of 312 to 44, was elected county Democratic leader of the 12th A. succeed the late Timothy J.

Griffin, at Acme Hall, 7th ave. and 9th last night. Harry T. Rogers, rival candidate for the leadership, was defeated, according to members, by the largest majority ever polled for a district leader. Fifty -three districts, composing the county committee, with their quota of representatives, filled the hall, which was marked off by numbered signs to correspond to the districts, and the entire gallery opened for the use of visitors overflowed.

Long before the meeting opened a long line of people waited to enter the building. Oppose Open Ballot. Heffernan's election followed a series of protests made by members on the floor against the method of voting, which was by open ballot. Peter T. Quinn, chairman of the county committee, and James Monaghan, speaker for and' nominator of Rogers, soon had disagreements and both gave evidence of having come prepared for a conflict.

When Chairman Quinn announced that the ballot would be taken by having each member stand and announce his choice, Thomas Lynch and James Monaghan both leaped to their feet and shouted, "I object." This precipitated general disorder, which resulted in Quinn relinquishing the chair a after protest by Monaghan to the treasurer of the organization, John McKenna. Quinn overruled Lynch's motion for a secret ballot by quoting article live, section three, of the Democratic party's county committee book of rules. Protesting against the open ballot. which he said did not apply to election of officers, Monaghan also produced a book from his pocket and read excerpts, he said, from Roberts' Rules of Order. When the smoke of battle had cleared away the members voted to have the chairman sustained.

Peter Quinn again took the chair and the voting progressed orally. Preceding the balloting, Peter Quinn ordered the reading of an affidavit confirming the mailing of the election notices to all members of the club, male and female. Reason for this was attributed to the action of several female members of the club, who petitioned Supreme Justice Cropsey Nov. 12 for an injunction against holding the meeting on the grounds that women were not notified and so kept from voting. The injunction has since been vacated by Justice MacCrate.

Remark Absence of Personalities. Both nominations and elections took place at the meeting, with speakers for both candidates. Chairman Quinn announced that a noteworthy feature of the campaign was the absence of personalities made by either candidates, who are close friends. During the balloting. when Heffernan's name was called, he refrained from voting, and when Rogers was later called upon to vote he made motion to have the election of Heffernan made unanimous, and conceded election to his opponent.

The motion was overruled by Chairman Quinn as out of order. After the 312 to 44 vote read, however, a member moved that" the election be made unanimous and the motion was seconded by the de. feated candidate. In an interview with newspapermen after the election, Heffernan said: "The results are as I expected. I want to say that I will be willing to do favors for all.

admire my opponent and his loyal friends, and hope they will be loyal to me as their county leader as they were to him. I thank everybody." When sought after the meeting, Harry T. Rogers, with a smile, said: thank my friends who have stood loyally by me, and I hold no malice toward those who did not vote for me. I congratulate my opponent on his success, and I will work with the club tor the interests of the Democratic party as heretofore." The newly elected leader made a short address of thanks to the members for their support. Urge Heffernan's Election.

Heffernan was nominated at the meeting by John R. McDonald, seconded by Mrs. Ellen M. Joyce, coleader of the district. Assemblyman Marcellus Evans and Aldermen George Friel both made speeches urging Heffernan's election.

Rogers was nominated by James Monaghan, seconded by Robert Marron, and was supported in speeches by Florence Marshall, one of the petitioners in the injunction against the last meeting, and Thomas Lynch. Last night's election is said to be regarded in political circles as the first move on the part of adherents of Mayor-elect James J. Walker and the Governor Smith faction to gain control of the county organization. County Leader McCooey declared yesterday that he would refrain from interfering with the election, and that anyone of the candidates chosen as leader will be equally pleasing to him. TWO GUILTY OF EXTORTION.

Mineola, L. Nov. 21-Vincent Mullo of Inwood and Harry Muglio of Lynbrook were convicted of extortion by a jury in the County Court before Judge Lewis J. Smith yesterday. They were charged with extorting $200 from Frank Malinaro, a storekeeper of Lynbrook.

Malinaro told of the two men and another, who will be tried later, coming to his place in July and demanding $1,000. IN MEMORIAM BREIMANN--In loving memory of my beloved husband, CHARLES G.

Clara Morris, Famous Emotional Actress, Dies At 77 of Heart Failure Clara Morris, one of America's most famous emotional actresses and who at one time lived at Whitestone, L. died yesterday afternoon at the home of C. M. Herold in New Canaan, Conn. Death was due to heart disease.

She had been living with the Herolds since leaving her home in Yonkers two months ago. Frederich C. Harriot, husband of Clara Morris, died in 1914. She leaves 110 relatives and arrangements for her funeral will not be announced until after a conference of her professional associates. Out Four Times in Eight Years.

A year ago, when "Clara Morris Night' had been planned at the Fifth Avenue Theater in Manhattan, Miss Morris was unable to appear because of rheumatism. In writing her regrets she said that she had been outside her house only four times in eight years and that her pride forbade her to reach the stage "shouldered like a bag of oats or rolled on in a roller chair." The Career of Clara Morris. Clara Morris was born in Toronto, Canada, March 17, 1848. She became a member of John Ellsler's Stock Company when she was 14, her stage debut being made in Cleveland, Ohio, where she spent her childhood. The stock company was then playing at the Academy of Music.

She was at first cast for small parts, but she displayed so much cleverness and talent that she was advanced in time to the place of leading woman. She was wont to tell how she refused at first to leave Cleveland, although she had other offers, because she wanted to show those who doubted her ability that she could rise to the leading position with the stock company. After four years spent at the Academy she went to Cincinnati and became leading woman at Wood's Theater. Her great emotional talents began to attract a wider interest from then on. Mr.

Mcguire, the San cisco manager, made her a flattering but the ambitious young actress to take her chances in New offer, York City, and she came here, preferred quaintly dressed, as she herself described it, but full of hope and determination, in 1871. After fruitlessly interviewing one manager she applied to Augustin Daly, who, with some misgiving, agreed to give her a part. Regarding the interview with Daly Miss Morris wrote: Her Engagement by Augustus Daly. "I was not a particularly attractive object on my first arrival in New York City. I had but two dresses in the world, except my stage wardrobe, which was correct, but confined to the necessities of rigidly parts.

Mr. Daly had been accustomed to the magnificence of Miss Morant, Fannie Davenport. Agnes Ethel and others of his really splendid stock company, and he looked down on my five feet, three inches, clothed in a rusty linen gown and carrying a sachel, with a shrug and a doubtful expression in every line of his face." Mr. Daly did not promise Miss Morris much of a part at this time. He said she would have to be content with whatever role she got, even though it be that of a soubrette, 01 a general utility performer.

Her first salary was to be $35 a week, with the distinct understanding, however, that if she made a success it was to be doubled. She did make a success, but it was rather in the nature of an accident. She had been east for a minor position in "Man and Wife." but Agnes Ethel falling ill she was given the role of Annie Sylvester, meeting with instant success. She scored 80 profoundly that she was called before the curthin five times the first night and her vogue after that became tremendous. Clara Morris saw many hardships.

not only before she was recognized as a great actress, but after. As to her earlier hardships when she made her initial trip to New York City she wrote with considerable humor. She had but little money when she decided move with her mother to this city, and she had none at all by the she was settled in her new home. "When I had moved and settled with my small belongings I had not a dollar left and my means were 80 cramped that they would not permit of our eating meat more than once day. My mother would ask me it I would have my chops to rehearse upon or to act upon, and as I pre ferred to have the strength to act upon, I used to be often so weak at rehearsal that I could not act at all, and I am sure Mr.

Daly endured much mental distress with regard to the fiasco he was sure I was going to make." As already related, she did not make a fiasco, to her immense relief, and her manager's. Won Fame as a Brilliant Emotional Actress. Miss Morris remained a member of Mr. Daly's company for two years, when she was engaged by A. M.

Palmer to head the stock company playing in Union Square Theater. Her acting in "Geneva Cross' convinced the critics that their first judgment that she was possessed of peculiar ability and an extraordinary power of simulating great emotions, was entirely correct. Soon after leaving the Union Square Stock Company she became the wife of Frederick C. Harriot, a merchant of New York City, and appeared after that as a star. She was seen in many productions after that, and until the time when ill health compelled her.

to retire from the stage, she enjoyed many successes. She possessed a wonderful power to move her hearers, and from scenes of highest emotional intensity which would thrill them by its savage power, she would descend to pathos which brought tears from the hardest-hearted. Ir her times she was seen in "The New Leah," "Jane Eyre," "The New Magdalen," which was her original creation; "Denise," which was failure; in an adaptation of D'Ennery's "Martyr," "Camille" and "Article 47. "Miss Moulton." an adaptation of "East Lynne," and many other plays. Her last professional appearance was in the all-star reviving of "The Two Orphans," a few years ago, when seh appeared as the nun.

When she retired from the stage she turned to literature, writing for magazines and newspapers. In 1899 she published a collection of short stories for children. "Little Jim Crow" revealed a sense of humor and ready sympathy with young and old. Among her other earlier publications were "The Silent Singer," "Life on the Stage' and "A Pasteboard Crown."

Scientists were unwilling today to express a fixed opinion as to the nature of the giant bones washed on up the strand at Westhampton, L. without seeing a photograph of them or a complete section of bone.

Their offhand opinion was that the bones constitute part of the carcass of a whale. "I don't like to venture an opinion on the matter," said Dr. George P. Engelhardt, curator of the department of natural sciences the Brooklyn Museum, "but off -hand I should say the bones are those of a species of whale. A fossil is out of the question.

Fossil bones would not be in that state of preservation. Photograph Illusory, The manner in which the photograph was taken is illusory. Once in a while part of the skeleton of A whale is washed up. This may be part of a whale which died at sea, got into fairly shallow was eaten up by other fish. The description of the bones as printed in The Eagle last night corresponds with the bones of a whale, but I would like to see the bones or the photograph." Prof.

George Goodwin, assistant to the curator in the department of mammals, Museum off Natural History, said: "Offhand I should say that the bones are those of A. whale, but it would be impossible for me to give an opinion without seeing the photograph or a complete section of bone. Descriptions are very misleading, and to venture an opinion on mere description might "get us in PLAN LEGAL ACTION TO RID HOLLIS OF SMOKE NUISANCES Legal action to curtail alleged nuisances created by trains of the Long Island Railroad in Hollis was outlined at a meeting of the Association of Taxpayers of Hollis last night in P. S. 35, 90th ave.

and 191st st. Property owners will, through the association, file suits against the railroad company, if the plans are carried through. In outlining the situation, Peter L. Menninger, association president, said: "Public nuisances are created by the Long Island Railroad in stalling freight trains on main tracks at all hours of the day and night, blowing of whistles, jamming of freight cars and the many noises made by these trains at all hours of the night, throwing of black smoke and storing loaded manure cars in Holban yards; all of which is disturbing to the peace and health of our community. These conditions are getting worse.

It is the civic duty of all residents to give their aid to rid their community of these nuisances. We feel that it is a disgrace to our munity, a danger to our property home life, and to the health of the people." Protest was also voiced at the meeting against the fifth track of the railroad, which it was contended, unnecessarily blocked at several streets. MRS. JANE DOLE, 89, DIES Huntington, L. 21-Mrs.

Jane Dole, one of Huntington's oldest residents, died Thursday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Winifred S. Sammis, on Prospect at the age of 89 years. Her maiden name was Jane Thomas and she was born in Delaware. In early life she married John P.

Dole, who died many years ago. The most of her life was passed at Cold Springs Harbor. The deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs. Anna Gildersleeve of Harbor and Mrs. Winifred S.

Sammis of this place, and one son, Edward Everitt Dole of Cold Spring Harbor. She also leaves fourteen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. REILLY ACCUSED OF $10,000 THEFT Lawrence A. Reilly, 24, a broker's clerk, living at 10112 110th Richmond Hill, was arraigned before Magistrate George W. Simpson in Tombs Court on complaint of Allen B.

Kendrick of Carden, Green brokers, of 43 Exchange Manhattan, on a charge of grand larceny. The complainants claim he stole $10,000 from the firm. Reilly was arrested by Detective Jesse Upham of the Old Slip station, who swore that Kendrick told that Reilly obtained the money by means of forged indorsements between March and September, this year. It is alleged that Reilly al-, tered the accounts to make it appear that customers of the firm had received the money due them. Checks drawn in the customers' names are said to have been cashed by a friend of Reilly's after Reilly had speculated cotton and lost.

(Special to The Eagle.) Valley Stream, L. Nov.

21-The fact that three homes in Valley Stream, whose owners are in Florida, were ransacked some time during Thursday night was told the Village Board last night as a good reason why more policemen should be added to the force by Police Chief James Wheelwright. It resulted in the naming of one more patrolman, Charles J. Schmidt. Chief Wheelwright stated that the reason the robberies had not been made public before was because of the fact that he and hs men had been investigating, without success. The homes entered were those of John Abrams, 75 S.

Clarence Phillips, 50 S. Franklin and William Wright, .15 W. Fairview ave. Entrance had been gained to all three homes through rear windows. In spite of the fact that the houses contained many valuables, apparently nothing of value was taken, although a complete checkup cannot be made until the families return.

Bereaved Father's Appeal, All three homes had been ransacked from top to bottom and were in great disorder. "On the night i in question I was only able to have one man on patrol said the chief. At present Valley Stream has twelve men the force but expects to double that, number after the first of the year. President Henry Wahldinger and the Trustees stated that they realized the fact that Chief Wheelwright and his men were doing all they can and, if the budget will allow the addition of more men this year, it is expected they will be added. The village has seventy miles of streets to patrol.

Alfred Nilson of 235 Cocoran whose baby son wandered on the tracks of the Long Island Railroad a week ago and was killed by a train, asked the Village Board to take steps to have that section better protected. At the present time a three-strand wire fence is the only safeguard. Chief Wheelwright also asked for ordinances licensing poolrooms and junkmen, and they will be drawn up and put in effect.

AKING the children laugh is, according healthful to a for London them. special- He ist, urges that parents tickle the little ones.

It really isn't necessary, as specialist probably meant, that the parento should thrust a forefinger Flaubert's ribs.

My Marjorie, for instance, can get just as hearty a laugh from a dozen other matters peculiar to her father. His hat, for instance. "What's the big idea?" I asked her last night. "You are so pleased that I take it you have smashed the jade vase which the Emperor of China gave daddy for extraordinary bravery during the Boxer Rebellion." "That hat!" "What hat?" "That one you're wearing!" "What's the matter with it?" I asked. "It has a novel and rather fascinating shape, to be sure, but it is fine durabie cardboard, warranted proof against zephyrs.

Have you the faintest idea of the situation today "Yes," she said. "It's the tariff, that's what it is.

It's this Republican tariff, Prices gone everywhich way. A poor man barely able to keep body and soul together. And what's behind it all? Wall Street! Yes, sir, it's Wall Street!

ITEM Mr. Justice Lukim, senior judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland, Australia, is here to study our judicial system.

It is to be hoped that his guides do not overlook the court in which Magistrate David Hirshfield, pleasantly remembered as a former Commissioner of Accounts, presides. That, judging from Thursday's episode, must be a court! Especially to an Australian! Thursday's episode, if any one doesn't remember, was that in which the Magistrate told a witness he was as bad as the lawyer and then wished earnestly he was in the street so he could lick the lawyer for stating that this was not a fair commont. The City may be overlooking It nice point of interest for visiting strangers. It may be that, with er advertising, Magistrate Hirshfield's court could become a very mecca for visiting jurists, and even lay citizens. Excursions could be run into town and other inducements offered out-of-town justices to call here and see how a court really function Maybe it could take some of the trade away from Grant's Tomb and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.
