a I THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, JUNE 22. 1914. ELECTED SMITH; LET'EM 1 per Queens Suffrage Leader Says Men Should Probe District Attorney's Office WELCOMES PROBE. Hetherington Says Queens Prosec 'or's Office Has Nothing to Conceal in Ellert Case.

Mrs. Alfred J. Eno, the Queens suf- it frage leader, who is largely responsible for the prosecution of James Heffernan and Harry Scanlon for an assault upon Mrs. Clara Ellert, declared today that she thought any further action in the matter should come from the men of Queens Borough, who were responsible for the elected officers. She said she was not yet ready to say whether she would go to Governor Glynn with the charges that District Attorney Matthew J.

Smith had failed in his duty in this case and had tried to block the path of justice. "I accomplished what I set out Mrs. Eno said, "in seeing have. that justice was done, and I think that any action against District Attorney Smith should be taken by the men who elected him. Theirs is the responsibility.

If no action is taken, I think the women of Queens will see to it that this official's conduct in case is brought to the attention of the Governor." At the office of District Attorney Smith today, Assistant District Attorney Hetherington said that there was nothing about the matter to conceal and that the office would welcome any investigation of the conduct of the case. "There is nothing here that will not bear the light of day," he said. Deputy Attorney General William A. McQuaid, who had charge of the prosecution of Heffernan and Scanlon, declined today to state what action he would take in the matter. It was the expressed opinion in Queens today that the prosecution of Harry Scanlon should not be allowed to wait until fall.

After Heffernan had been convicted the jury disagreed in the trial of Scanlon. He is now out on bail. "With the political implications of this case, neither I nor my branch the woman suffrage party has any concern," said Mrs. Eno today. "We are bent only upon securing justice for a woman.

From her story and the evidence in court, I feel that Heffernan was less guilty than Scanion, Justice Scudder, sentencing Heffernan, said: 'I am convinced that yours was not the master mind that conceived this "In many ways we who believe in Mrs. Ellert's cause feel that Scanlon should he retired immediately. We believe that there should be an instant investigation of the District Attorney's conduct of this case. We place great which Mr. McQuade will lay before reliance tp upon the record of the case Attorney General Carmody and through him before Governor Glynn."

The boat capsized in squall which struck them a mile and a half west of Lone Hill, as they were returning from a pleusure trip to Cherry Grove on Great South Beach. They were all thrown in deep water, but fortunately held onto the sides of the capsized boat. A power boat, Alkali Ike, owned by William J. Loughiin, was a half mile away from the distressed party, but made for the rescue with all speed.

In the boat with Mr. Loughlin was a friend, Percy B. Cooper. By the time they had reached the overturned yacht, the boys were in a state of exhaustion from gripping the boat in the choppy sea. Several of them lost their grasps before the party arrived, and were hauled out half drowned by Mr.

Just as Mr. Loughlin was pulling in one of the drowning men, a huge swell broke against the side of the launch, and he was pitched overboard, but managed to get back in by the assistance of a pike pole with Mr. Cooper on the other end.

Several of the rescued yachtsmen were unconscious, had to be revived by the application of first aid. They were brought ashore at Jones' Dock, and, after warming up and drying their clothes, were little the worse off for the ducking. KETEWOMOKE Y. C. TO BUILD.

ROCKAWAY VISITORS WATCH FLYING BOAT Lawrence Aviator's Skill in Air and on Water Appreciated by Crowd NO MANY BATHERS IN SURF. Chilly Air and Threatening Skies Keep People at Home--Fishermen Have Good Day. (Special to The Eagle.) Far Rockaway, June 22-A flying boat was added to the attractions of the Far Rockaway ocean beach yesterday morning. It was seen by a fair sized crowd, which, in spite of the chilly atmosphere, spent the day at the beach. The flying boat flew out of Debb's Inlet and, flying about 150 feet in the air, followed the coast line closely until it reached a point opposite Wave Crest.

Then it turned toward the open sea beyond the breakers. Then it glided gracefully to the water, making a successful water landing. The aviator, appreciating the desire of the crowd to get a close view of the craft, or wishing to test its seaworthiness, or both, returned to Debb's Inlet without rising from the water. The boat made its way through the breakers to smooth, water nearer shore without a mishap. It speeded along, two or three hundred feet from shore, at the rate of about thirty-five miles' an hour.

Although there was a slight swell in the water, the boat seemed unaffected by it.

Comparatively few went in bathing, although the water was warm. The reason for tue slim crowd was to be found in the chilly atmosphere and in the dark skies, which more than once threatened to put a quietus on the day's enjoyment with a downpour of rain. Fishermen were out in good numbers.

In the ocean off Far Rockaway there were hundreds of little rowboats, each containing one or two men, who were intent upon taking home a few flounders. Many were caught. Jamaica Bay was dotted with rowboats, motorboats and sailboats, a good part being used by fishermen. Good catches of blackfish were reported. Off the ocean piers of Rockaway Beach there wehe a number of fishermen, but the sea in the afternoon, when most of the fishing is done, was too rough for much success.

Chamber of Commerce Active in Plans for Boulevard Now Near Realization. At the last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the Borough of Queens, the Borough Planning Committee, of which John C. Brackenridge is chairman, was authorized to appear at the public hearing before the Board of Estimate. on June 26, and favor the extension of roadway connecting Forest Park with. Highland Park, sO as to give a continuous parkway on the crest of the hills connecting Brooklyn and Queens.

This road will be known as the Interborough Parkway. Highland Boulevard is a continuation of Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. The proposed extension will carry this boulevard from Highland Parkway through Cypress Hills Cemetery, connecting with the present beautiful winding roadway in Forest Park, and connecting directly with the Queens Boulevard. Alrick H. Man, of Richmond Hill, has been asked to speak for the Chamber in favor of this improvement.

Through the efforts of Robert W. Higbie, President of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, and others, this important improvement is now about to be realized. The agitation for the boulevard was started ten years ago, and 1908 a bill was passed by the State Legislature authorizing the City of New York to cut a roadway 150 feet wide through the cemeteries. The matter was not pushed, however, and it was not until 1912, when the trustees of the Cypress Hills Cemetery and the officials of the City came together in an informal conference in the matter, that anything further was done. Tentative maps were then prepared by the engineers of the Board of Estimate and submitted to the cemetery officials for their approval with the request for a price per square foot for the land necessary to make this road way.

Negotiations have progressed since that time under Charles O'Malley, of the Comptroller's oflice, and maps and surveys have been made by the Park Department and the Topographical Department of Queens. Borough Presidents Pounds and Connolly have always favored the roadway and been active in advancing the matter. President McAneny. chairman of the City Planning Committee of the Board of Estimate, has taken 9 very active part in securing this provement. The cemetery portion of the road in only a little short of 50.

The old Middle Country road, from a spot shortly west of Horn Tavern Farm to Yaphank, is almost as smooth as a floor for the entire dis-! tance. It is a beautiful road.

It does not seem possible to make a dirt road any better While in its present perfect condition it should be oiled, too. The cost would be fairly large, it is true, but it would keep the road in fine con- dition all summer and would prevent the terrible mud of the early spring. While no doubt a Commissioner of Jurors would be a good thing for Suffolk County, yet it is true that the jury system can be vastly improved if the officials--the assessors and othersmaking up the jury list would use more care. In the first place the list should be made out yearly, Care should be taken to put on it only men eligible to serve. Those making up the list should investigate each name to see if he is too old: a fireman, in the State or Government employ, and also whether the man is naturalized and if I he is capable of understanding and talking the English language intelligently, for it is true that some men are placed on the jury lists who own property but to whom the English tongue is almost a stranger.

When the prisoners in the county jail heard that an organ-grinder had been sentenced to tarry with them for a spell they had fond hopes of new diversions- -catchy music for tangoes, turkey trots and the like, but they are doomed to disappointment, for the organ had to be left at home. Leo Miller of Babylon read in the papers that two jurors who failed to get to court on time were summoned to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt, so when he got mixed up in the train service while on his way to Riverhead and found himself many miles distant, he hired an auto at once and arrived just in time to answer the roll-call. He wasn't going to take any chances with his erty by waiting for the next train, even if it did cost extra money, It Frederick M. Welsh, chief clerk in the Election Commissioner's office.

One of good stories told about the courthouse this week is to the effect the, that immediately after the jury had convicted Majer Greenfleld last Friday one of the Sayville members of the jury stepped up to Mr. Greenfleld in the Griffin House and asked the man whom he had just convicted to take him home In his car. "Nix, said Majer. "Such a nerves as you haf got.
