TilE BItOOKLYN D.WLY -EAGLE. NEW YOKK, TUESDAY. MAY 13. 10 i CONNOLLY CHARGES Home of William J. Taylor at Huntington SUNDAY MOVIE SHOWS REJECTED BY BABYLON 20 YEARS MINISTER i OF JAMAICA CHURCH HANSE AND BENS ON 1 TRIAL; $1,200 GITTER CHECK IS PRODUCED Ask Elmont Cemetery Bill -Veto by Governor Smith.

WAR SEPARATED COUPLE TO MEET AFTER 5 YEARS Max Wohl, a prominent Jamaica builder, sails this Thursday on the 8. 8. Amsterdam of the Holland-American Line for Boulogne, France, to meet his wife, who is at Budapest, Hungary, where she has been since the outbreak of the war, in 1914, unable to join her family in this country. The Jamaica man expects to meet Mrs. Wohl either In Switzerland or in Hungary, through the kindly offices of the IT.

8. War Department. For years Mr. Wohl had been unable to communicate with his wife-becauso of the rigorous censorship, and he had no way of finding out whether she was living or dead. His suspense was relieved a few days ago when he received word from a man in Brook-lyn whoso brother Is an air officer with the Army of Occupation in Buditpest that Mrs.

Wotal is alive. and well and anxious to 'come home. The petitioners claim that the bill was introduced in order to legalize the action of the Board of Supervisors of Nassau County, who. the signer I claim, have granted burial rights in the cemetery lands when those lands could not be used legitimately for burial purposes. The signers of the petition also claim that the cemetery is only a short distance from the wells of the Jamaica Water Supply Company and that the drinking water of the Immediate district about Klmont and throughout Jamaica is In danger of becoming contaminated.

The original cemetery was laid out as a private burying ground about 100 years ago and then contained an acre and a half. If the present McWhlnney bill becomes law, this little plot will suddenly become a legal burying ground of 232 acre. GLEN COVE CHARGED FOR ESTATES WATER Company Assessed City $270 a Year for Six Hydrants on Private Property. POLITICS HOLDS UP PAVING OF STREETS Queens President Issues Long Statement Defending His Richmond Hill-Woodhaven Course. Borough President Connolly yesterday issued a long statement in defense of his proposal to improve 120 streets in ine Richmond Hill and Woodhaven sections of Queens, answering many of the objections raised by some of the property owners of the district at the meeting of the local board held in the Richmond Hill High School last Thursday evening.

of those I people opposed to the Improvements nave continued their protests since that time. On the other hand, however, President Connolly has received over 60 letters from property owners of the district urging that the improvements be carried through as proposed. President charges that a large amount of the opposition to the proposals arose from persons who were trying to gain political In his statement he says that he is ready to be criticised for trying to get improvements for the people. The statement reads: "The result of the meeting of the local board held to consider the paving of streets in Richmond Hill, Ozone Park and Woodhaven, was most gratifying to me. While it may not result In the paving of a great number of streets, nevertheless I feel that the property owners of these sections are alive to the necessity of these Improvements and eventually I feel sure they will come, and when they do come I am certain that those who are now opposing them will be the first ones to say that they regret their opposition.

"In all my experience of municipal affairs I have never seen a street paved where the value of the property abutting was not increased in value at least twice the amount paid for the assessment, and frequently I have seen lots double in value by reason of such pavement. Of course, 1 sympathize with those who are unable to) pay the assessment, and in such cases I do not advocate compelling them to do so. am in sympathy, also, with those who objected to the paving at this time under the high prices, hut all of the citizens were assured that no paving would be done under the present prices and work would be started unless otherwise demanded by the citizens within one year and that the assessment could hardly be levied be- tor a period of two years. "The unfortunate circumstance about the meeting was the fact that while some of those opposing were acting honestly, others were acting with political inotives in view, and 1 am afraid that many taxpayers were led astray by false information and were deceived into permitting themselves to be used as catspaws for the purpose of grinding the political ax of one or two of the gentlemen present. "These men have possessed political bugs for some time, but the people were not willing to develop these po litical bugs for them and they sought upon this meeting to furnish them with a sort of culture medium.

Any person who attempts to so use taxpayers and their improvements that so seriously affect the welfare and health of the public and the value of their property does so at his pern. "The meeting should not have been a political one. and I um sure that those who tried to deceive the taxpayers into making it one will regret it. "One of these gentlemen insinuated that there was a motive upon my part in suggesting a sheet asphalt pavement as the cheapest and best, and said that other permanent pavements! could be laid at half the cost of sheet asphalt. This man exhibited his bias and his ignorance of municipal affairs, noiwiinstanaing ins municipal ex-1 penence.

mere is no permanent pavement that can be laid cheaper than asphalt that Is clean and comparatively noiseless that can bo laid under the Charter as a permanent pavement, and 1 suggested sheet asphalt because It isthe cheapest and the most durable permanent pavement. "All of these petitions will receive the most serious consideration of this office and every taxpayer will be assured that nothing will be done to his prejudice. The petitions will be treated individually and upon their merits, with an opportunity to all to be heard. "A suggestion was made by one of these same political accelerators that there was an attempt made to 'railroad' the improvements. The pron.

I READERS BARGAIN COUNTER Brooklyn Man Claims That Freeport Draft Board Adviser Accepted Bribe. Joseph Gitter. a drafted man. 33 Scars old. son of a wealthy Brooklyn milliner, living ut 601 Bedford told a Jury yesterday afternoon bpfore Federal Judge Kdwlit-L.

J-lens and Chairman James Manse, recently chief of the Kreeport Police, were litacrd on trial yesterday ljy Assistant Federal Attorney tieoige K. Fol-liemus, on indictments charging them with conspiring tu defraud the Selective Service Act by sellina exemptions nd deferred classification to flackers, Hitter said he first met Bens at a Manhattan restaurant last August. Mo remarked to Bens that he had abandoned a plan to build a chain of (ii rnucn in i ins cuv uecause flf him a "Move out ta Freeport. I know all the. board out there, and I'll tix it up.

It will be easy for you to get out of ervtce," the witness swore Bens said. After other meetings Gitter suiil ha Went to Freeport on September 12. slept overnight at Bens' home, registered from that Bdrlptw nriH that. turned to Brooklyn, later turning in his Brooklyn address as a "changed address" to the Draft Board. Gitter swore that when he went to Freeport he was met at the railroad station by Bens, who then took him to see Chairman Hanse who was at police headquarters in that town.

Bens collected the alleged bribe a few rim later. "Bens called at my office, 1241 Broadway. Brooklyn, ana asked me for $1,200." testified the witness. "I asked him what that was for. He told me it was for the Board members.

I said 1 did not want to pay that amount and was told by Bens that if I didn't pay 1 would be" raised to the first i lass and put risht in service. 'It will puy you remain out cif service and devote your time to -your Bens said to me. He asked for cash but accepted a check." Prosecutor Polhemus tlien showed the witness a check for $1,200 made payable to Seton Bens and chased by him. "Is that the check you gave Bens?" "It is," answered Gitter. It was accepted in evidence.

Gitter also swore that last December Bens appeared at his office and, telling him lie had learned the Department of Justice was working on the case, asked him to accept a promissory note from him for the $1,200. "Later I received one," said the witness. The note, dated September 26, the day Ultter paid the alleged bribe, was introduced in evidence by the E. A. Driggs, counsel for Bens, cross-examining the witness, brought nut one statement which, because of the character of the witness, may be of value to the defense.

He got Gitter to swear that he "wanted to go to w.ir" before he met' Bens. "And still you say you paid him $1,200 to keep out of the war?" asked counsel. "Yes. he urged me into the belief that I should not fight," returned the witness. "Were you not insulted when Bens suggested that you avoid service?" asked Judse Garvin.

"Xo. He urged me on," replied Gitter. The case will go on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. I. LOAN TOTALS ARE STILL GROWING Victory Loan figures continued to grow throughout the Long Island district today as numerous delayed reports were made to headquarters.

EJmhurst this morning reported a total subscription of 5,000, which is $24,200 more than three times iis quota, and several reports are still missing. Corona reports $344,600: Woodside-Winfield, $133,700. and Maspeth, $130,000. Flushing has not only reached the million mark, but tecured another quarter of a million in addition.

(Special to The Kaglc.) Glen Cove, L. May 13 The Glen'!" Cove City Council yesterday learned through Public Safetv Commissioner John Lewis Childa, George H. Down-ins, president of the village of Floral Park, and the Rev.

Ignatius Zeller are among the dozen men who have sent telegrams to Governor Smith asking him to veto the bill introduced In the recent session of the Legislature by Assemblyman McWhlnney and now in the hands of the Governor, which, if made a law, would greatly increase the siue of the Elmont (Hebrew) Cemetery, located at Elmont. L. 1. The Governor has also received a petition protesting against the enlargement of this cemetery, signed by VV. li.

Locke Jr. and about sixty other residents and property owners of the district. Mr. Locke also had a personal interview with the Governor, at which time he protested against the bill. ENGINEER CLAIMS PAVING EXPENSIVE According to a well-known professional man of Richmond Hill, who asks that his name be withheld at present, the estimated cost for the paving of 112 streets in Richmond Hill, Woodhaven and Union Course, has been greatly underestimated.

From figures furnished him by the engineers' office, Borough of Kings, the Richmond Hill man said that to pave a street 50 feet In width would cost $12.50 a foot per lot, or $250 for a 20-foot lot. There Is only one 50-foot street in RIchniond Hill, he said. For a 60-foot street, which is the average width of most of the affected thoroughfares, the estimated cost is $15 per foot, or $300 per 20-foot' lot. On a street 80 feet in width the property owners must pay an estimated cost of $20 a foot or $400 per lot, and for a 10o-foot thoroughfare, like Greenwood for instance, the estimate cost is $25 per foot, or $500 per lot. This cost is only for paving.

The building of gutters will make an additional charge. Besides that, he said, nltUn. anlimllt at T.n,t., Local Hoard meeting last Thursday called for laying and relaying side- i walks. "The relaying would mean that on ground that they are only four-foot Hag walks, whereas tho standard width varies from 5 to 20 feet for a sidewalk, depending upon tna width of the street. If new sidewalks were to be laid to conform to the city standard, thousands of feet of cement would he put down, at an estimate cost.

I am Informed, of $1.25 per running fool, or $25 per 20-foot lot, and tho old flag stones would be carted away by the contractors. "Thus far the people have roused to indignation at the thought that they might have to pay $200 per lot.

SUPERVISORS FORCE HOSPITAL REPAIRS Architects Report That All Defective Plaster Will Be Re placed at Contractor's Ex- pens. (Special to The Kagle. Mineola, h.

May 13 Before the Board of Supervisors will accept the Tuberculosis Hospital a considerable amount of the plaster will have to be removed and new parts substituted. The architects rerorted today that every part of the plastering under complaint will be Improved by the contractor, who sublet that part of the contract. It is estimated that the plasterer will lose close to $6,000 on the job. The Board, alter refusing; to accept the building until every part was in perfect condition, appointed a board of experts to inspect it. As a result of this action, when the experts reported adversely, an arbitration committee was appointed.

Mr. Tooker said today that the plasterer had had considerable misfortune in that the plaster had dried too fast. When this part of the building will have heen repaired the Tuberculosis Hospital will be among the best of its type in the State. It is a model after which other counties have fashioned their tuberculosis hospitals. The Board of Supervisors has taken a "bite" out of friend doe.

Two dog-catchers have been found who will take the contract of catching and impounding stray dogs at $2 each. Peter Sinclair, in the Town of Hempstead, will furnish an auto and helper and will work himself In catchjng the canine nuisances which wander through the streets. Those not redeemed will be destroyed. Philip Kelly, of Manhasset, will operate in -North Hempstead under the t-ame conditions. Two contracts were awarded, one to Andrews Brothers, of Mineola, to repair Main Port Washington, and the other to the standard Hitulitchic Company to Improve Rockaway road, through Valley Stream and Broadway from McNeil ave.

to the Wood-mere boulevard in Woodmere and Cedarhurst. The roads will be widened. The sum of $10,000 was transferred from the current surplus fund to the Tax Arrears Establishment Fund. This is the first step in complying with the establishment of the Bureau of Arrears as was specified in the tax law recently enacted. Incidentally a rate has been fixed for tax searching and issuing of certificates.

Five cents will be charged for each lot searched, $1 for each described parcel, and $1 for each certificate issued. The ices so received i.y the county treasurer will be credited to the tax arrears fund account. TWO "SISTERS WED Patchogue, lj. May The Misses Margaret and Jennie Frabizio.
