Hf mil 1 Washington, Feb.

3 Six out of the seven Brooklyn Democrats present in Iho Hoii5e yesterday broke away from their party's general policy long enough to glvo material aid to the Republican majority In suspending the rules by a two-thirds vote am passing $150,000,000 public buildings bill. The measure was sent lo the Senate by a vote of 243 to 114. Representative Cleary of the lloro was the only local Democrat who voted against the measure. He said he did not approvo of this new fashioned way of constructing publlo I'Uildlngs which would delegate an-thorlty lo the Treasury and I'ostofllce Departments. Representatives Celler, Cullen, Lindsay, O'Connell, Quayle and Stengle, all of Brooklyn, voted for the measure.

Representative Black was absent on leave, due to a death in his family. Represenlative Kim red of Queens was not present, as ho Is taking a vacation at his winter home In Florida. Representative Bacon of Long Island voted for the measure, along with the Republican majority. Though this measure does not specify where public buildings shall bo built, the Brooklyn Postofflce Is on a priority list at the Treasury for enlargement and repairs, with a cost between $1,000,000 and $1,600,000. The plan Is to build un annex to the present building on ground already owned by the Government.

This bill Is simply an authorization and carries no funds.

7. This news, -Broadcast by nobert Roldt, farmer, of Patchogue, L. Miss Chrlstabel rankhurst, English brlck-heavcr, and a number of typical Los Angeles spook worshipers, le good here. It is Interesting, though, to note the variety of ways people take to, prepare for It. Luther Hook, a widely-known traffic tower, reunited this office today with a cunning glint In his one eye tho other eye was pushed out during a light with a Russian in Moscow Just before the revolution, the French Revolution.

"I'd llko to borrow a dollar," he said. "Givo It back to you next week." Like a flash I was on my feet and his throat was In my list. "You unprincipled scoundrel," I declared. "You unspeakable rogue, you cad, you depicable er despicable er you bounder!" That's exactly what said to him, right out! He laughed self-consciously. "Well," he said, "I've got a lot of 'em that way.

No hafd feelings, Johnson, eh?" "Scarcely any, Mr. Hook." It seems that he had amassed a veritable fortune In this manner. He knew that ho would never pay any of the money back. It was obtaining money under false pretenses. "Right now," he said, "I'm one e-f the wealthiest men in Brooklyn.

Mr. Johnson, you can take that statement or leave it I just don't care." "What are you going to do with It?" I asked. "You can't take It with you." "I don't want to," he replied. "1 ain't no hog." "Who said you were a hog?" "Nobody. I Just said I wasn't a hog." "Well, neither am Sir.

Hook, but you don't see me running around making wise cracks about the f.et." "Mr. Johnson," he said, stiffening, "It seems to me that you take umbrage very easily today." "Umbrage? "Yes, umbrage. Umbrage was what I said, sir, and umbrage Is what I meant!" "Yes, umbrOfre. Don't you know what it means?" "Certainly I know what umbrage means. Are you trying to Insult me?" "No, sir, I only said you seem to take umbrage very quickly." "I heard you.

Sir. Hook. You need not repeat It. I heard what yon said; you said I took umbrage." "That is correct. Have you any- lining to say against my saying it?" iNoining ai hii, hook, i simply wanted to understand clearly what It was you said.

You used the word umbrage In connection with me, did you not?" "I did, sir, and I have no regrets. Why?" "Nothing, Sir. Hook, hut mark my words, sir. I'll not forget this soon. I am like the elephant I never forget." Slarjle Hook, who Is regarded by Ihe neighbors as Just a chip off the bid bone-head, has also begun to prepare for the week-end dehacle.

INprcial to The Eaplc.) Rlverhead, L. Feb. 3 The discovery of assets in the intato of the late Dr. George P. Grlfllnir of Brooklyn long utter tho estate had been settled in the Surrogate's Court here will leud to an unusual and interesting contested accounting, it was Indicated today.

1 The story will revolve around the fact that, although Dr. GrlfMng'p estate was settled in 1917. there was recently discovered In tho Green-point branch of the Corn Exchange Flank an account containing $1,130 that had been dormant for 20 years. Apparently Dr. Grilling hlmsilf had forgotten he had money deposited In that institution.

The fact that there was such an account was learmsd through an advertisement Inserted in a puper by the bank. This "ad" came to the notice of one, Clarence Dillon of Manhattan, whose letterhead says he Is an "Investigator." When he raw the sd. and learned what the account was he Interviewed former Justice D. Ellsworth Warner of Jamesport, now nn elderly man and one of the executors of the drifting estate. He asked Mr.

Warner, according to a state ment made in court here, if he would allow him, Dillon, something for putting him In possession of assets of the estate that nobody else knew existed and, according to Robert P. Grltnng, who appeared yesterday for Dillon, Warner promised Dillon 25 percent of the amount of recovery, he, Warner, not believing there could be any such assets. On the other hand, Bernard H. Lord, who appears for the executor, declared that no such sum as 25 percent was offered. DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED.

With Clayton as chairman of the Cities Committee and at the samo time member of the powerful Rules Committee, it apears that Ricca has a ditlicuit task ahend, In spite of the fact that the Klng County leaders are reported to have agreed to support the bill.

Clayton is In an excellent position to block it. Declaring that Senator Shaekno had no right to Introduce a bill providing for three additional Supreme Court Justices in the Second Judicial District, because he represents a constituency In the First Judicial District, Senator James A. Higglns of Kings today handed In a similar bill bearing his own signature. "I would never think of handing In a bill directing another Senator's district. It Is an unhe.ml-iir ihlmr said Senator Higglns.

Hhackno handed in his bill last week after he had read In the Law Journal an article by Justice Hag-arty In which It was said that the Supreme Court was three years be-hind with Its calendar.

MARITAL PROBLEM COURSE IS OPENED AT CENTRAL The course of ten lectures that are being delivered at the Central Y. M.

C. A. by physicians and other experts on the probloms of marriage will not be open to the public through the newspapers, according to a decision made last night by Dr. William II. Price, 1aff physician at Peck Memorial Hospital and director of the curriculum.

Tho declslOii to limit attendance at tho lectures lo the 30 young men who have enrolled for tho course and paid their tuition fees was 't reached. It wus declared, because of any bashful-ness displayed by the students but rather on account of a disinclina tion by tho physician-instructors to subject themselves to gibes from friends as the result of statements made In tho classroom. Reporters who went to the Cen tral Y. M. A 65 Hanson last night were informed by Carroll N.

Glbney, educational director of the branch, that they would not be ad mitted to the lecture hall. At the conclusion of the lecture, which was delivered by Dr. Joseph II. Fobes, professor of gynecology at the-New York Homeopathic Medical College and cither institutions, Dr. Price, who presided, explained that those who conceived the course had experienced considerable difficulty In obtaining lecturers this year becuuse of newspaper publicity given to the program last year.

Some of the speakers last year had been the objects of gibes from friends, he said, on account of stateirtents mado In the course of their lectures. "This is a dead serious course," said Dr. Price, "and there Is nothing ludicrous about it. The questions asked by tho students at the conclusion of each lecture are asked In a very serious fpirlt." The opening lecture in the course, which was open to the public, was delivered last week by the Rev. Dr.

Harry L. Everett of Jersey City and was a discussion of the subject, "Why Marry?" Last night Dr. Joseph IT. Fnhea'was the lecturer. EDDIE' COTTLE, YALE STAR.
