Skipper Proud of Her. Hundreds of persons have endeavored to board the first concrete vessel -Faith is her name- docked at the Havemeyer Sugar Refinery, at the foot of South Fourth All are curious to find out for themselves just what a stone vessel looks like. Those who did to get permission found that the Faith looks like any ordinary steamer of her size. Through the courtesy of Charles F. Britton, who is in charge of the Havemeyer Refinery, The Eagle reporter was permitted access to the pier.

The Faith was being unloaded, she having brought 3,000 tons of raw sugar from Cuba to the Eastern District refinery. The Faith was in camouflage, her sides, funnel, masts, bridge, being painted in black. white and blue stripes. Chief Officer N. L.

Mathissen was found in his quarters. He is a real sailor jolly, good-natured and accommodating. He said that was a fine ship; that she had weathered two gales which would have much damage to an ordinary steel ship. He believed that only time would tell what concrete-built vessels would stand. to took the reporter around vessel.

The pilot -house and bridge are inclosed. Directly under the bridge and pilot-house are the chart-room, captain's office and cabin and the wireless room and operator's office. Under these, or on the' main deck, are the officers' quarters fore and the ship's hospital, while aft, separated by a companionway, are the petty officers' quarters. The engines, fire-rooms fuel depositaries are aft in the Faith." The wireless apparatus is one of the most compact. has a sending receiving radius of between 2.500 and 3.000 miles, according to F.

O. Reed, the chief operator. The crew, including officers, numbers 39. When the sugar is unloaded from the seven holds the Faith will go into dry dock. After her bottom is cleaned she will load with general merchandise at Pier 46, North River.

Capt. R. E. Connell is the skipper of the Faith, and William Anderson is chief engineer. The vessel is owned by the San Francisco Shipbuilding W.

L. Comyn, president. The latter came East to board the Faith and greet Capt. Connell when the vessel reached port, yesterday morning. Chief Officer Mathissen said there was practically no vibration throughout the voyage of the Faith.

He told the reporter that most persons think that the Faith's hull is about two feet in thickness. There is only four inches of concrete. reinforced with steel bars, he said. The vessel is 326 feet long and her beam is 46 feet 6 inches. Her gross tonnage is 3,636, CONCERT FOR XMAS BOXES A benefit concert was given last night in Grant Hall for Christmas boxes for the Navy.

NEW ASH REMOVAL BIDS MUST BE LOW If for Long Terms, Says Fesler; Else Readvertise for Short Period Contract. In view of the statement of Street Cleaning Commissioner MacStay that two new prospective bidders have appeared to compete for the city's ash removal. the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is "withholding judgment" on Mr.

MacStay's latest move in readvertising a long-term contract. The excesive bids obtained under the contract when originally advertised drew a sharp criticism from the Chamber in opposition to letting a long-term contract at war time prices. Because of the high prices demanded, these bids, as announced yesterday by The Eagle, have been rejected by the Board of Estimate. Regarding Commissioner MacStay's policy of readvertising the original contract without modification and for a three to five-year term Mayo Fesler, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, said today: "We see no objection to a contract if the contractors bid low enough to justify the letting for such a length of time. three- year contract necessarily means better terms, under ordinary conditions.

But if the new bids are still excessive we would favor the readvertising of the contract for a shorter term so that the city might be in a position to take advantage of the situation when conditions become more normal." The Health and Sanitation Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. said Mr. Fesler, will early next week to take up the question of both the ash removal and the garbage contracts. The attack on the Chamber of Comby the Street Cleaning Commissioner, on the ground that the organization had falsely stated that he had recommended the acceptance of the high bid of the Borough Ash Removal Company for three years, with an option of two years renewal at war time prices, was answered by Mr. Wesler.

He placed the responsibility for the statement on one of the assistants in Mr. McStay's office, with whom the Chamber of Commerce secretary had talked on November 15. "I had called to see the Commissioner on three different occasions to discuss the matter with him," said Mr. Fesler, today, "but had been unable to see him on any one of them, despite the fact that he had made appointments with me. I was referred to one of the assistants in his office and got my facts from him.

As I was leaving the office, after my conversation on Friday, November 15, I asked: Mr. MacStay had recommended the "Did I understand you to say, that acceptance of this bid (Borough Ash Removal Company)?" "Yes," was the answer. OBITUARY JOHN H. LEWIS, 35 years old, for eight years steward of the Canarsie Yacht Club, died on Wednesday of pneumonia in his home 011 the club's grounds at Sand Bay.

Wingate in a letter to The Eagle, says that he believes the situation arising when the former National Guardsmen return from the French front to find their military status in New York State filled by another organization will be settled largely by the fact that the majority of the returning veterans will not desire longer association in any active military body. Gen. Wingate's own son, George A. Wingate, now brigadier general of the 52d F. A.

Brigade in France, is one of the former guard officers who is affected the situation. He was formerly colonel of the 2d F. N. G. N.

now the 105th F. A. in France. His place as commander of the Brooklyn unit of the New York Guard, that succeeded the 2d F. is held by Maj.

H. 11. Rogers. Gen. Wingate in his letter to The Eagle says: Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: The editorial and news articles in The Eagle of the 20th, in my judgment correctely state the complications that exist between the National Guard organizations now in the service and those of the new State National Guard.

I think, however, that what 00- curred at the close of the Civil shows that the matter is one which will largely cure itself. When the Civil War terminated practically all organizations then composing the Guard of this State had served in the field for two or three campaigns. In each of these their members had been required to leave their business and families on short notice; and what was even more annoying, they had for four years been in constant expectation of being again summoned to rush to the front. When the war ceased they felt that they had done their duty and could not afford to take any more time from their business to devote to military matters. Moreover, the duties of National Guardsmen in time of peace seemed to them, as they did to the public, to be very small compared with what had been the case while the war was going on.

They therefore took their discharges by wholesale. In fact, the Guard for several years sank to the lowest ebb that it had ever experienced and at times seemed as it its future was in doubt. Our own National Guard organizations in 1916 spent six months on the border, and for a long time previous had been preparing themselves for service. But a few months after they returned the present war broke out. In this they have served since June, 1917, and a large part of the time in the most active of them have in service earned campaigning.

Many promotions to positions far outranking those that they formerly held in the National Guard. For them to g0 back into the Guard, and in particular to accept lower positions than they have held in service in France, would be like asking a collegian who has successfully taken a post-graduate course to gO back to high school. I therefore believe that when our men return, although undoubtedly the officers and men of the present State Guard will welcome them with open arms, and in fact be desirous of having them join the new organizations, the great majority will accept. the situation as it exists and will decide to gO back to civil life. Whether the new State Guard will continue or not seems to military men be doubtful.

So long as the former National Guard was in service it was necessary that the State should, as required by the Constitution. organize a body which would act as a "Home Guard" during the emergency, as it has done. But it appears to be the settled policy of the War Department "to wipe out the National Guard of the States," and, as is correctly stated by The Eagle, it has practically done so. Many, particularly National Guardsmen, consider that the breaking up of crack military organizations having over fifty years of military history, and a corresponding esprit de corps, was a grave error. This is illustrated by the fact that the 165th Division, which is composed of the 68th and Seventh is constantly being referred to by the press as the '69th." It, however, has been done, and cannot be helped.

But this attitude of the War Department demonstrates that the New York State Guard which will be even more objectionable to the Department than the former National Guard--cannot expect any help from the Government, without it, it is going to have "very hard If Congress and the general public should be carried away with the idea that "because our war with Germany is over, there will be no danger of future wars, and therefore money spent for preparedness is is by 110 means impossiblethe United States will relapse into the same condition of helplessness that existed a year and a half ago. If they are not, and common sense should prevail, it will adopt some systern of general compulsory military training analogous to what exists in Switzerland, where youths are required to take certain amount of military training after they reach 16 year: of age, and about the time they become of age are required to serve an enlistment of six months, and to annually perform a certain amount of military duty for a few years thereafter, thus creating a national army in which all the people are represented. If this is done, as it should be, such organization will take the place of the former National Guard, and naturally, displace the existing New York State Guard. Until. however, it.

is successfully accomplished, it is necessars. for the protection of the Empire State, that it should maintain its existing State Guard and make it as effeclive as possible, GEORGE W. WINGATE.

Official Scores Prosecutor. Grand Jury Praises H. W. Beer. The Federal Grand Jury that yesterday afternoon indicted President George T.

McQuade, Vice President Charles Curtis, Counsel John W. Van Gordon and thirteen other employees of the Coastwise Lumber Company 011 charges of conspiring to defraud the Government, also made a presentment commending the work of Assistant Federal Prosecutor Henry Ward Beer. The Grand Jury declared that no case had before been presented to it in such a complete, comprehensive and concise way, and urged, because of "evidence of further ramification" that the matter be delved into deeply by Prosecutor Beer. It is the first presentment of its kind since war prosecutions were started. A phalanx of lawyers opened a fight yesterday, even when the announcement of the indictment was made by Prosecutor Beer, to have the Government show its hand.

John J. Curtin, acting as spokesman for the counsel, which includes Alexander S. Drescher, Don R. Almy and Peter P. Smith, deprove the necessity the Governmanded an immediate hearing to ate ment's "spectacular raid" last Saturday when the company offices here.

in Manhattan and Jersey City were visited and books and records seized 011 a search warrant issued by Federal Commissioner Michael F. McGoldrick. Lawyer Curtin declared that Chapter 13 A of the Espionage Act makes is mandatory that Commissioners shall grant a public hearing to determine whether documents taken by a search warrant are necessary to the prosecution of the case involved. "I demand an immediate said Mr. Curtin, "not only for the protection of my clients the protection of the Commissioner's interest." Mr.

Curtin's statement plainly intimated that Commissioner McGoldrick might make himself personally sponsible by refusing a hearing in the search warrant procedure. Commissioner McGoldrick said he would consider the matter and would decide next Tuesday what should be done. He allowed the sixteen defendants to continue on bail until that date, when they will plead to the indictments before Federal Judge Thomas Ives Chatfield. President McQuade yesterday afternoon issued the following statement: Assistant District Attorney having this matter in charge has by this indictment given us a stab in the dark. which our attorneys were trying to avoid, and which we warned the Commissioner against at the hearing set for last week, which hearing was denied at the request of the District Attorney, who stated he wasn't ready to proceed.

Neither I nor my attorneys have as yet seen the indictments. was born in Brooklyn, have lived here all my life. My friends know me, is and all I ask of the general public is judgment until these vague allegations can be threshed out in the open daylight, where we have been trying to bring them since our spectacular arrest on November 27 and the more spectacular raids last Saturday, when truck loads of books and papers were takn away from us. am not versed in the law, but it seems common sense and fair play that if the Government has any case against any citizen it should not be afraid to submit that case to a hearing before the Commissioner, which in this case was denied us. am especially sorry for the cmployees of our company who have been brought into this trouble.

Oen of them, a very young girl, has two brothers in France, one of whom was in the famous "Lost Battalion." Another of the accused had his only son, now fighting for his life in a London hospital, wounded on September 28 with the old 23d Regt. of Brooklyn.

Co. 306th M. G. Battalion, contracted pneumonia and died in France on November 4, accordnig to a communication received last night by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

George J. Goetz, on Fulton Hollis, from the Adjutant General. There had been rejoicing at the Goetz home over the ending of hostilities OIL November 11, and the prospects of the early return of their son, who has written many cheering letters and who seemed rather to enjoy teh life of a soldier in active service. 'To think that George managed to escape unscathed all these months from the enemy bullets and shells and then to die of pneumonia within week theending of hostilities is the sad part of this news," said Mr. Goetz, the father, who conducts the old Hollis Tavern, one of the landmarks of Long Island, a relic of the days of the Revolution.

George Garfield Goetz, who was 29 years old, was born in Manhattan, but hel ived the greater part of his life at Hollis. His father was a great admirer of President Garfield, and upon Garfield's death he resolved to give his son the cognomen Garfield as a middle name. George attended Public School No. 35, at Hollis, and the Jamaica High School. He was for time connected with the Jamaica Branch of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company and later went into the real estate business.

Always a prominent Republican, young Goetz ran for County Clerk of Queens on the Republican ticket three years ago. He was defeated, but he made a remarkable run. Later, when Alderman John Kochendorfer was appointed a city magistrate, was appointed alder man to fill out the unexpired term. Subsequently Goetz was nominated by the Republicans and was elected alderman. He was defeated for r'eelection Goetz was a volunteer fireman at Hollis and a member of various organizations.

Talbot-Perkins, 268 Gates ave. The principal speakers of the evening were Miss Emma Campbell and Miss Mabel E. McComber of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs. The two women recently returned from Pompton Lakes, N. where they have spent the past month as munitions workers in a large powder plant.

Miss McComber's talk was based on the dangerous and insanitary conditions she tound upon her arrival at the plant. She said that both the working and living conditions were grossly misrepresented in advertisements. "Girls," said Miss McComber, "expecting to find decent and livable quarters, would find things in such an insanitary state as to render them intolerable. It is true we had electric lights in the dormitories--when they worked. When they didn't we used candles." Accidents were of common occurrence -not through the worker's negligence, but through the carelessness of the foremen and supervisors, Miss McComber stated.

Two dope fiends, who were taken on because of the I scarcity of labor, were found smoking in the powder magazines. They were apprehended before they had done any damage. Miss McComber gave an instance of how the neglect of duty of one foreman cost the lives of four girl workers. This man insisted that the girls work until late at night, after having worked all day. One of them, through her weariness, dropped a percussion cap, causing the death of the entire group.

In regard to men working among girls. Miss McComber said in part: 'A few of the supervisors were earnest men who helped get production. Others, however, were fit only to be used as A barrage to keep the fire from decent men. Why a brute who looks at a pretty girl only as new prey, and who does not hesitate to deliberately jeopardize the lives as well as the characters of those under him, is allowed to escape the draft is beyond my conception. There are plenty of good women fully competent to supervise these girls, ninetenths of the work being done by them." A number of resolutions were passed, among them being a protest against the execution of Paul Chapman; a request for the presence of at least one woman at the Peace Conference and finally a request that Judge Howard A.

Nash be appointed to Judge Roy's place in the County Court. It was announced that by the. will of the late Minnie A. Wemmell $150 was bequeathed to the League. A resJolution of thanks was passed.
