Real Estate News METHODIST BOARD DENIES TINKHAM'S LOBBYING CHARGE Representative Accused of Wet "Gesture," Intended as "Punishment." (Special to The Eagle.

Washington, July 15 The Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in a statement is-! sued yesterday, defends -itself against charges brought by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts. Tinkham asked the Attorney General to prosecute the board for taking part in political campaigns without making the requisite report. The board states that it made no report because it made no expenditures which were reportable under the law. "Mr. Tinkham's attack." the board said in its publicity organ, the Clip "may be taken as a gesture which he believes will be found pleasing to his wet constituency and as part ol tne general wet assault upon the board intended to punish it for opposition to the nullification program of Governor Al Smith.

"The board did not alter its direction of fire, and if Mr. Smith suffered it was solely due to his insistence upon standing between the board and its target. The work of the board in the campaign of 1928 pursued the even tenor of its way. No campaigning was done, no political undertakings were initiated. "The speakers of the board visited the annual conferences and other church assemblies just as they had done in previous years, saying substantially what they had been saying on other occasions." Patriotic League Counsel Objects to Detzer Passport Washington, July 15 Charging that the State Department had no moral right to grant a special passport to Dorothy Detzer, executive secretary of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, H.

Ralph Burton, a Washington attorney, in a protest to Secretary Stimson against the action taken in her case requests that the passport be revoked. Mr. Burton is counsel for the American Vigilant Intelligence Federation of Chicago, the National Patriotic League of Washington, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Woman Patriot. He made his protest, however, in his personal capacity. PILOTSlUSTKEEP IN PRACTICE UNDER NEW FLYING RULES Washington OP) Stricter regula tions for airplane pilots go Into effect Sept.

1, and after that date fliers must keep in practice if they are to fly more than one type of plane. Under the new Department of Commerce regulations a pilot will be licensed to fly for hire one or more of 12 classes of planes upon which he satisfactorily passes fly ing tests, and the classes will be specified upon his license card. Present holders of transport and limited commercial pilots licenses will be required to take the tests when they apply for semi-annual renewal of the licenses. The new requirements will give assurance to air passengers that the flier is qualified to handle the type or class of plane he is flying and has kept in practice on it. The rules provide that a pilot shall not carry passengers in a class of plane which he has not flown for at least two hours in the previous 90 days, or have had 30 minutes of practice flyins, including several landings, immediately prior to the flight.

During the six months duration of his license, the pilot, to retain the privilege of flying all of the classes of planes for which he is licensed, must have had 10 hours on each. If he has flown less than the required time on any class the privilege to fly that class will be withdrawn until he has passed another test. There are three general classifications of planes by welnht under the new regulations. Those are planes of less than 3.500 pounds gross weight, planes of from 3.500 to 7,000 pounds, and planes of more than 7.000 pounds. Each of these classifications Is divided into types planes with one engine and open cockpit; more than one engine and onen cockpit; single motored cabin planes and multi-motored cabin planes.

"flie classifications apply to sea planes and amphibians as well as to land planes. If a pilot wishes to fly for hire a plane for which is not licensed, he may apply to a Department of Commerce inspector and be licensed Immediately upon passing a flying test to the satisfaction of the inspector. Through the new regulations, the Department of Commerce seeks to prevent pilots from carrying passengers and cargo in planes with which they are not familiar and running the risk of accident because of a lack of knowledge of the characteristics of the plane.

The craft was returning from a midnight ride with passengers who had been guests at a dance Saturday night at Pequea, when the single motor that propelled it developed trouble 200 yards from its docking pier. The passengers became panic-stricken when the boat swung down stream with the current despite the efforts of the crew of three. They rushed from side to side and started the craft rocking violently. In the midst of the excitement the damaged motor was repaired and started. The violence of the starting lurch, combined with the sideward rocking of the craft by the passengers, overturned the boat and threw its occupants Into the stream at a point where the depth is 15 feet.

British Post Office Reports Theft of Mail From Canadian Liner London. July 15 Another prob lem has been set for the police on both sides of the Atlantic by the British Post Office, which reported to Scotland Yard last night the loss of 80 registered packets from a consignment of Canadian mail shipped aboard the White Star liner Lau-rentic. The Laurentlc arrived at Liverpool from Montreal on Saturday, but it was not until last night that the London postal officials discovered the packages were missing from the sealed bag which it is understood was delivered to the Laurentic by airplane.

A 58-story office building be erected on the northwest corner ol 5th ave. and 42d Manhattan, sometimes called "the cross-roads of the world." Announcement of the project was made yesterday by Walter J.

Salmon, real estate operator, who has leased the site. The old eight-story building on the corner, once the Hotel Bristol, will be torn down in about 90 days. The new building will be similar to the modern skyscrapers, with the regular setbacks required by law. It will have 100-foot frontage on the avenue and 208 feet on 42d with an unobstructed view of the Public Library and Bryant Park. The first floor will be occupied by stores and the next two stories will be built with a view to leasing for banking quarters.

This is the second most valuable site in New York City having been appraised for tax purposes at $28,000 a front foot, a figure exceeded only bv the space occupied by No. 1 Wall Street, which is appraised at $30,000. The address of the building will be No. 500 Fifth Avenue.

The plans calls for the completion of the new structure in the Jail of 1930.

Eidlitz, chairman of the Structural Steel Board of Trade, over the New York Edison Company, writes Allen E.

Beals in the Dow Service Daily Building Reports. Case No. 5677, as the complaint of the Structural Steel Board of Trade, of New York City, against the New York Edison Company came to be known throughout the New York building construction industry, alleged refusal on the part of the Edison Company to furnish direct current for temporary installation for construction work. R. B.

Thomas of 100 E. 45th appeared for the petitioner while the New York Edison Company was represented by Beardsley Taylor, William L. Ransom and Jacob H. Coetz, with Shearman Sterling appearing as general counsel. 'This complaint," said Mr.

Eidlitz in telling about what the building trade considered to be an economic crisis, "came to the Commission originally in the form of a letter dated May 1, 1929, from the Struct ural Steel Board of Trade, stating that the New York Edison Company was refusing to furnish direct current to construction work in sections of the City in which this type of current has been supplied for years. This letter of com plaint was supplemented on May 14, 1929, by another communication accompanied by a resolution adopted at the headquarters of the organiza tion on May 13, 1929. The resolution requested that the Service Commission institute an investiga tion of the conditions against which the complaint was made. "The Commission considered the letters from the Structural Steel Board of Trade, Inc. and came to the conclusion that as a preliminary to such further action as might be required that the Board of Trade and the New York Edison Company should confer upon this subject and endeavor to compose their differ ences.

This suggestion was promptly agreed to by the interests concerned, but on May 28, 1929 the Board of Trade advised the Public Service Commission by letter that except for an agreement that delays in obtaining service would be corrected, What We Know About Brooklyn Brooklyn has i 208 miles of waterfront, of which 108 miles are improved. 187 piers accommodating 700 ocean liners. 53 National banks; 38 trust companies. 50 State banks; 5 private banks; 26 savings banks. Brooklyn's manufactures total annually over $1,000,000,000.

Brooklyn leads the world In the Importation, refining and distribution of sugar. Brooklyn ranks first in the importation, preparation and distribution of coflee. Consistent growth of Brooklyn is evidenced by the fact that with a population of 2,308,500 against 1.798.513 in 1915, it is seond only to Chlago and exceeds Manhattan by 556.500, estimate of July 1, 1928, reported by the Federal Census Bureau. The growth of Long Island is proportionate. OVERLOOKED A GEM.

WERE KILLED jA Manhattan the kiddies of acquire that "Newport" or MODERNS BELIEYE PYRAMIDS WERE AIDS TO SCIENCE There is a tolerably long list of things which must necessarily recur every generation. 'Among these some have the same fixed rising and setting as does the sun or do the Pleiades. One recurring subject takes as its object the pyramids of Egypt, says Ralph V.

D. Magoffin In the Baltimore Sun. The belief that they, and especially the pyramids of Cheops, the largest of the three in the Gizeh field across the Nile from Cairo, are more than mere Pharaonic tombs, recurs more often than once every generation. The matter surges to the front at least once every decade. Perhaps it is not a recurrent phenomenon, but a belief that has never downed, and its reappearance is simply a periodic statement or testimonial of belief.

An Englishman of repute is the latest to state that the pyramids are not simply mausolea for Pharaohs but are constructions for meridian purposes. In elucidating his point he reviews in what way and to how great an extent the ancient Egyptians had recourse to the pyramids ior their studies in astronomy and meteorology. The Idea is not a novel one. During the 1798 expedition to Egypt a scientific commission worked out the triangulation of the pyramid of Cheops and discovered that it was marvelous construction in its physical and mathematical aspects. Its lour taces are orented toward the four cardinal points of the com pass.

The angles are calculated with precision. A certain inner shaft is so cut that the polar star at that time (Alpha oi tne Dragon constellation) looked directly down it. A series of geometrical relations seemed to- indicate that the Egyptians knew the value of the proportion of the diameter to cir cumference better than did the Greeks. That the Egyptians soon learned the use of surveying instruments might be posited on their need to re-establish property lines after the fall of the Nile overflow, even we did not have proof of it. That they knew considerable about astronomy and geometry is certain, both from the inevitable speculations of the learned Egyptian priesthood and from the knowledge or their intercourse witn Mesopotamia, where astronomy and astrology are well proved acquisitions, But neither the date nor the preci sion of their science can be ascer tained.

There is, however, no question that scientifically the pvramid of Cheops is the most carefully built of all the pyramids, and that its construction is a marvel oi engineering skill. It is also well known that Greek temples and- religious buildings in many lands were faced toward tne morning sun. There is also no longer any ques tion archaeologically but that all the pyramids were built by or for the rulers of Egypt as tombs. The evidence that such was their main purpose seems to bulk larger as time and investigation goes on. Tomorrow Morning On the Radio A 6:45.
