NAME JUDGE VEEDER TO PASS ON CLAIMS FOR WRECK DAMAGES Appointed Master in B.R.T. Receivership- August 1 Set as Limit for Special Hearings. Former Federal Judge Van Vechten Veeder was named as special master in the B. R. T.

receivership proceedings by Judge Mayer pass on the claims yesteramages against the B. R. T. growing out of the Malbone st. wreck and other accidents on the company's lines.

Judge Veeder will confine his attention to these damage claims against the company, while Judge Lacombe will continue as master in the other collateral proceedings of the receivership. Judge Mayer also named August as the date before which the damage claimants must decide whether by special master, without a Jury, they will have their claims passed on or or try their cases in court before jury. Judge Lacombe, in the report filed yesterday with Judge Mayer, disapproved the receiver's application to to settle the Malbone lied st. disaster set aside $1,100,000 receiver's bonds claims. The special master ruled that under the law it was not proper for the receiver to issue certificates 10 settle damage claims.

Because of this ruling, which subordinates the claims of the tunnel vietims and their relatives to the claims of the mortgage and bondholders of the companies, Judge Samuel Seabury, as counsel for the claimants, opposed the issuance of any receivership certificates which would further subordinate the claims of the wreck victims and minimize their chances of recovering substantial awards.

T. women employees and opponents of the Transportation bill at any time desired, in spite of the fact that the first invitation was not accepted. In explanation this failure to attend the meeting of the legislative committee on Monday afternoon is the fact that a meeting of employees was held at the same time in Brooklyn.

Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, says: "What we need in this country is not less politics but more attention to politics. I have no use for the individual who is too to take part in politics. He is riding. on another person's ticket." If the Senate gets busy early the United States may be able to secure suffrage for women before France ratifies her recent vote.

Unless we hurry up we will not be able to say we "lead the world." The suggestion has been made that B. R. T. women conductors may receive day runs by courtesy of the men to whom the choice rightly belongs. The women themselves repudiate this and say that they do not wish to take any man's run but prefer to take their turn and get the good runs by earning them instead of by favor.

A woman who has recently made a tour of the Western States says of women: "The women of the West act first and talk Here is the East, they talk first and act afterward (sometimes)." Plans are forming for a Business and Professional Women's League that shall be nation- wide. State conventions will be held during June and a national convention in St. Louis in July to start the organization with a boom. This is not a trade union in any sense, but a movement to unite the business and professional women of the country for their mutual benefit. Although not a political body the hope is that its power will be suffcient to insure the protection of the interests of women throughout the business world.

Women speakers of prominence will tour the States explaining the aims of the League and securing memberships. So far as can be learned at present the organization is similar in object to that of the soldier's American Legion. The Sixth A. D. Republican women are beginning to get political enthusiasm and are holding social meetevery month.

The auxiliary that was first started was given up and nearly two hundred women have trude Lang is one of the leaders rejoined a the men's club. Mrs. Gersponsible for this increased interest. The Priscilla Study Club, one of the first suffrage organizations in Flatbush, met at the home of the president, Mrs. Laura B.

Burroughs, Tuesday to hear Mrs. Vance Cheney, chairman of the Advisory Board for Social Service, speak on "Social Diseases." Mrs. Cheney has been speaking on this subject before many women's clubs, trying to get the necessary information to women who in turn are to pass it on and to form groups for the instruction and protection of the young people. Mrs. Burroughs and Mrs.

Macdonald De Witt, member of the Women's Republican State Executive Committee and chairman of the Flatbush Republican Campaign Committee, were elected delegates to the Long Island Council of Women's Clubs to meet at Garden City Hotel on June 11. Mrs. Mary J. Lusher and Mrs. F.

S. Van Kirk were elected alternates. The first executive meeting of the new officers of the Women's Division of the First A. D. Republican Club was held Wednesday night, Mrs.

Mabel T. S. Falco taking the chair for the first time since her election as chairman. Special commit. tees have been formed to provide for the interior decorations of the new clubhouse, 137 Remsen which the club expects to occupy on June 1.

Although Mrs. Katherine Dougherty was the first woman of Brooklyn to be given a testimonial dinner by women, the coming dinner to Mrs. Evelyn C. Meagher at the Elks Club on May 28 promises to far outshine the first effort of the Ninth Democrats. Leader Thomas F.

Wogan and the men of the district are interested and big party is already assured. The aim is to make this the biggest political dinner ever given to a woman. But the women say: "Although we have invited the men, it is woman's dinner." The monthly social of the women of the Third A. D. was held Wednesday at the clubhouse, 314 Clinton st.

Harry J. Carrol of the New York Telephone Company gave an illustrated lecture on the "Soldiers of the Switchboard." Songs and mustcal selections were rendered by Miss Catherine Donnelly and James J. Byrne. Dancing followed. The committee comprised Miss Paterson, chairman; Miss Anna Cassidy, Mrs.

Broader Tuesday night. Republican Leader William Schnitzspan addressed women on A social program followed. At the conference of the Republican Woman's National Executive Committee now being held in Washington, National Chairman Will H. Havs, ver. terday outlined the part to be played by women in the coming campaign anu said that women were not to play a secondary part, but be given full consideration in the party.

"The women are not to be segregated or separated," said Chairman Hays, "but assimiliated and amalgamated with that full consideration due every working member. of the organization. There is to be no separate women's organization within the party except where such arrangement may be needed' temporarily as an efficient instrument in the complete amalgamation which is our objective." Tonight, Mrs. Medill McCormick, chairman of the Women's National Committee, will preside with Mr. Hays at a dinner, at which Speaker Gillett of the House, and Seaator Cummins of president pro tempore of the Senate, will speak.

The women of Seawanhaka Democratic Club of the First A. D. are very proud of the fact that the records of the Memorial Fund show that they did twice as much as the men in securing the money. At Wednesday's joint meeting it was announced that sufficient money had been subscribed if all promises are fulfilled. Two women members cooked doughnuts which were sold for the Salvation Army and a goodly sum realized.

On Thursday next, the women's club will hear a lecture on "'The Use of the Telenhone in War," illustrated by slides. E. P. MAYNARD HEADS THE HAMILTON CLUB Is Elected President and E. Carlton Granbery Vice President for the Ensuing Year.

The Grand Jury, after hearing testimony, declined to indict and dismissed the charges of grand larceny that had been made against Albert P.

Cochrane of 332 E. 16th st. by his sister, Mire. Elizabeth Seaman (Nellie Bly), of 154 Clarkson st. Mrs.

Seaman in Flatbush Police Court accused her brother Albert of appropriating machinery used in the manufacture of dental tools. Cochrane, in denying the charge. came back with a counter -accusation to the effect that his sister had mutilated a portrait of himself that hung in the E. 16th st. house.

After the dismissal of the complaint, the bail bond for $1,000 which had bound Cochrane for the action of the Grand Jury was canceled. Harry C. Cochrane, a brother, had also lodged a complaint to the effect that the accused took a quantity of silk, but that charge was also thrown out. It developed that the man accused had acquired the properties alleged to be stolen in legitimate business transactions. Lt.

Apparently one answer to the charges will be that the items named in the indictment were settled by a board of arbitration. Questiong obviously aimed at the testimony which the informer, William Simpson, may give, were asked when Mr.

Curtin inquired of the jurors: "Would you believe a witness who said he was ordered to make out incorrect bills because the bills will show that they were short?"

Persons in the courtroom, recalling the statement made some weeks ago by counsel for defense that the arrest was due to a business conspiracy by rival lumbermen, evinced interest when Mr. Curtin asked: "Do you know a man named White who is connected with the John C. Orr Lumber Company, the oldest lumber firms in Brooklyn?" FOOD PRICES UP IN APRIL Washington, May 23-Retail prices for food in the United States during April were 3 per cent.
