That Lawyer Luke O'Reilly should receive substantial punishment for taking $700 from C. Morton Stafford, a registrant in Local Board District No. 68, while he, O'Reilly, was a mem. ber of the Legal Advistory Board in that same district, was the suggestion made today to tho Appellate Division by Mortimer W. Hyers, counsel to the grievance committee of the Brooklyn Bar Association.

The suggestion was contained in a brief by Mr. Byeru, which included a record from a Missouri court, showing that an attorney, a member of a legal advisory board, who took fees from registrants under the guise of doing notarial work, was suspended for fifteen months. Mr. Byers' motion waa for action on the report of Official Referee Edward B. Thomas, a former Justice of the Appellate Division, who severely condemned the lawyer in his report to Iho court, as was told In The Eagle several days ago.

In discussing the testimony taken during the referee's investigation, Mr. Byers pointed out that it appeared the lawyer took the money from Stafford after giving the latter the impression that lt was to be a "split up" among various persons connected with draft and legal advisory work. Stafford testified that O'Reilly told him he needed 1500 "at once" and that no quostions were to bo asked as to what was done with the money or how it was disposed of, and that Stafford should say nothing to his mother or brother about paying the money. "In all conscience it was bad enough to demand $500 or $400 for the few flimsy papers then prepared," said Mr. Byers in his brief, "but to ask for thn money under the guise of having to make a use thoroof which he could not explain, was to cloak his own cupidity by an implied reflection upon tho good names of other men who were striving to serve the nation in tho hour of its need.

To seek to create in the mind of one registrant a misgiving as to the Integrity with which the selective service laws was being administered, was to commit a great wrong; to do it only as a means to cover the payment of money not earned was reprehensible to a degree which challenges temperate comment." Mr. Byers also declared that the lawyer's statement that he retained $100 of the $700 he received on the ground it was for work on the income (tax return was unbelievable in view of the fact that the tax on Stafford's 1918 Income was $26. "The retention by Mr. O'Reilly of the $100 for alleged services under this head," Mr. Byers wrote, "speaks for itself as to the integrity of his mental and moral processes.

"The conduct of the respondent as disclosed in this record is a deliberate betrayal of a trust imposed In the legal profession by the United States of America." Lawyer O'Reilly's brief was not filed today. His attorney, Jere A. Wern-berg. asked for ten days' time to file it. Presiding Justice Jenkj granted the motion, so there will be no accion by tho court for at least that period of time.

The charge against O'Reilly is that he took the money from Stafford, a wealthy undertaker, to obtain a reclassification in the draft, after the registrant hnd been placed in the 1A class. The local board did grant a rehearing and put him in a deferred class, but the appeal agent had that flndin? reversed by the district board and Stafford was sent off to cam-He was discharged in tho latter part of January, this year.

Horak at 829 Lewis early today, Bernard Goodstein, who is the owner of a confectionery store at 328 Lewis ave. and who had seen the beginning of the fire, worked like a Trojan to aid his neighbor. After turning in a fire alarm, Goodstein removed Mrs. Horak and her three young children from their rooms at the rear of the shop, singeing his hair and scorching his hands in the work.

Then he mounted through the smoke-filled halls of the house, helping the tenants descend to the street by way of tho staircases and flro escapes.

The memorial trees which have been planted by tho Park Department on Bedford between Eastern Parkway and Flatbush will all be properly marked with plates bearing the names of Erooklyn men who made the supreme sacrifice, by July i.

according to a statement made today by Commissioner Harman. Tho difficulty of securing information which is to go on tho plates and the difficulty of preparing 2,100 separate name-plates, said Commissioner Harman, will not allow completion of the task before July I. Relatives of soldiers who have swamped the department with inquiries are assured that the work will bo completed by that time. So far 600 of the 2.100 trees have been paid for at the rate of $8 a tree. Fifteen hundred more oro yet to be paid for and planted before July 1.

It will also be necessary before that time to affix name-plates to the trees planted two years ago by Frederic B. Pratt on Bedford near Eastern Parkway. Many Brooklynites have asked the Park Department to plant memorial trees along other thoroughfares In Brooklyn, but it was announced by the commissioner that it will be impossible to do such planting before the fall. Commissioner Harman has been swamped with letters of commendation of his plan and has received only one letter, an anonymous one, condemning the plan. OBITUARY Cm Mao Death Notfeea.

Dr. Rollins Says Bushwick High Needs Playground, but Education Board Officials Approve Project PrlnciDal Frank Rollins of the Bushwick High School has complained to City Superintendent of Schools Wil liam L.

Ettinger against tha open air show being conducted in the playground adjoining the school by the Bushwick-Ridgewood Monument Committee, of which Harrison C. Glore is chairman. He says that the uso of tho field was granted without his knowledge at a time when it was most needed for school purposes. He also declares that persons employed In the show have broken into the side entrance of the school and littered up the vestibule, and that he does not think that tho signs over several attractions should be permitted so near the school. The permit for the use of tho Hold was granted by Eugeue C.

Gibney after the project had been approved by Arthur S. Somers. When Dr. Rollins objected to certain features of the show. City Superintendent Et tinger instructed Mr.

Gibney to make an investigation. He reported that he saw nothing to support the complaint, and Mr. Sorners decided there was no reason to revoke the license. The purpose of the uffalr Is to raise funds with which to orect a monument to the memory of the men from the Ridgowood and Bushwick sections who made tho supremo sacrifice for their country. The performance opened on Monday and will continue until May 24.

"The playground Is owned by the Board of Education," said Dr. Rollins, "and it seems unfair to deprive us of the use of lt junt at the height of the season, We need it for the baseball team to practice on, and since the passage of the law for compulsory physical training the field has been used by both the boys and the girls for this feature of the school course. I knew nothing about the show until I arrived at the school on Monday morning and found that a miniature midway had sprung up after I left on Friday afternoon. I have had to change the physical training program entirely. Dr.

Ettinger Will Not Stop Show. "Not only that, but tho door of tb school adjoining the show has beef.i broken into and the place littered up. I have also had to issue an order forbidding any of the boys and girls from leaving the building during school hours because of the character of persons such a show always collects. One of the attractions is tho 'Ooh La La Dancine which to mo has a seductive At the office of the City Superintendent it was said that Dr. Rollins should hold the janitor responsible for any damage done to tho school building.

It was also stated that there was a gymnasium In the scv -ol and that the Bushwick Playground is located on the other side of the school. This, however, is conducted by the Park Department and is much smaller than the school playground. "I see no reason for a change In the matter," said a representative of Ettinger. "We are trying to cooperate with the residents of the section in a worthy object, and I think everyone ought to be willing to give and take in such an affair." Mr. Glore said that ho went to see Dr.

Rollins when he heard that he objected to tho show and went over the matter with him. Ho said that when Dr. Rollins told him a couple of windows had been smashed, he took the matter up with the show people, who said they wero not responsible but would make good for the damage. He said there wore several reasons why the event could not have been hold later in the season, the main one being that it was desired to unveil the monument on July and that the show could not have been secured for any. other dates.

He thought that under the circumstances the school people ought to put up with any slight inconvenience that might result. Attraction Not to Interfere With Scliool. Mr. Glore also explained that strict orders had been issued that the show must not open until 5:30 o'clock so as not to interfere with the school. He also said that 40 or 50 members of the committeo were on hand every night to see that nothing objectionable went on.

Dr. Rollins said that the field had cost the city $12,000 to fit up and that tho General Organization of the Bushwick High School had spent S300 on tho project. The playground extends from the school along Irving aye. to Putnam and half way down Putnam ave. to Knickerbocker.

There ore nearly 100 tents on the plot and tho attractions include a shooting gallery, a fat woman, a "human ostrich," an Eaat Indian woman, a ferris wheel, two palmists, the "Ooh La La Dancing Girls," a rncrry-go-round and a series of ring and ball games. Every night there is a high diving exhibition by Capt. Ringlin and his wife, and a one-legged man does an aero slide. TO DISCUSS HOUSING Governor Smith will be the presiding ofiicer at the dinner of tho Reconstruction Commission for the purpose of discussing the building situation to bo held at the Metropolitan Club, 60th st. and 5th Manhattan, tonight.

Abram I. Elkus. head of tho Commission, has arranged for the dinner and its is expected that at least 40 people who are in closo touch with the situation will be present. It was asserted that tho purpose of holding the dinner was to protest against the Governor calling a special session of the Legislature to provide a special fund for the uso of the builders of apartment houses. The interests which have been lending money for building construction aro opposed to such a move because it would interfere with the mortgage business.

The plan proposed through this measure appears to be so practicable and reasonable that Its operation may, in my Judgment, be made effective in accomplishing tho desired purpose. I am informed that there are about 600,000 persons in the State, who are unable to speak English, and that there lire upwards of 350,000, who are not only unable to read and write English, but are unable to read or write any language. -In Iha nnrlir narl itf HIV ilflminls- tration, a conference was held in my office with tho Board of He.gents upon (his subject.

I suggested to that body that it should take the Initiative In working out a plan by which this standing menace to the fullest development of tho economic and social interests of the State could be corrected. I expressed the desire then to co-operate in any way possible with the Board of Regents in the plan which should bo-devised. "It appears from information supplied by the regents that this illiterate portion of our population is spread throughout tho entire State. Under the plan proposed in this bill, the State will be into ilfteen zones with a director in charge of each zone. Under tho general direction of the Commissioner of Education, tho supervisor of each zone will have the supervision of this work.

It is proposed to use the schools to the fullest extent possible and to bring into cooperation with the schools the factory, the shop, the business house and civic and patriotic organizations so thatlevory adult illiterate in the State so far as possible, be taught the elements of an education. It is believed, that, under this plan, adult illiteracy will, within a few years, be obliterated from this Stuto."
