July 23 Speaking here "yesterday at a union service In the M. E. Church, Dr. S. E.

Nicholson, associate superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of New York, charged that the movement to overthrow Prohibition in America Is being strongly supported by for-, elgn cash and influence. "Recently an international convention of the Wets," Dr. Nicholson said, "was held in the Netherlands, at which more than ordinary attention was given to American Prohibition. There were the usual denunciatory attacks, with Americans on the program to give the usual garbled reports about the workings of our Prohibition laws. Charges European Aid.

"That their European mends have come to regard American Prohibition as an ultimate menace to the -liquor cause everywhere was strongly evidenced in the discussions, and there were not wanting assurances of support to the movement for the overthrow of our Prohibition laws here," Dr. Nicholson declared. "I have it on the word of a man of international reputation, born in England, but now a naturalized American, I think, a man in ni sense allied with the Prohibition cause, that American Prohibition is having to meet the attacks of European cash and influence. He says that we in America cannot afford to make any mistake about that. "lhls is testimony that is stronclv supported by other testimony that comes to the light repeatedly.

There are tnose who condemn with vehemence certain foreign propaganda of a disloyal sort in the United States Dut who have never a word of condemnation for other foreign propagandists who are pouring their cash into this conutry in an effort to change our Constitution and our fundamental laws. Continual misreDrescntation at home and opposing cash from abroad are rather m-etentious hurdles for the Prohibition movement to tackle, but both hostile elements will wear themselves out against a movement so deeolv rooted as is that of the prohibition of the liquor traffic in the United States. 'Misrepresentation and foreign propaganda can make the situation harder for Prohibition for the time being, but they cannot win in the end against it unless the American people have gone into a sleep that knows no waking. It is time to begin smashing both misrepresentation and foreign propaganda. That, in a nutshell, is the Immediate Issue and the Anti-Saloon League of this State and country is set to meet it," he concluded.

The Rev. R. R. Roberts, pastor, presided. About 100 attended.

Har vey to secure the Republican nom ination for boro president of Queens, Harvey has received during the past two days a request from the Repub lican leaders in New York City to become a candidate lor the Repub lican nomination for president of the board of aldermen. Harvey was the Republican candidate for this position four years ago. "The oner of the nomination for president of the board of aldermen on the Republican city ticket was made to Harvey just before he left for the week-end to New Bedford," said a Harvey worker.

"The proposition was emphatically turned down by the boro president, who said that ne intended to stand by his an nouncement that he would be a candidate for re-election as boro president of Queens. He is hoping to receive the Republican designa tion, if he does not he will be an independent candidate. See DeBragga Hand. 'The friends of Harvey believe that the Republican leaders of the city nave two purposes in view in making this offer. They believe Harvey would add strength to the city ticket, and they are also playing the game of Joseph H.

DeBragga, the Queens Republican boss, who would like to have some other candidate for boro president than Harvey." DeBragga has not yet returned from his trip to the Pacific Coast, but in Republican circles In Queens It was said that three candidates have developed for the boro presidency among the DeBragga followers. They are Commissioner of Jurors William B. Hazelwood, Deputy Register Henry Baum and Leonard C. L. Smith.

Connelly in the lattcrs first campaign. Smith has since been president of the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce and has taken an active part In many boro projects. The Democratic faction headed by Transportation Commissioner Frank X. Sullivan, announced today that the ticket had been completed by the designation of Hugh Qulnn of 151 11th st, long Island City, as their candidate for Alderman from the 62d district.

TO HIT Friends See Wheatley Hills Proposal Due for State Opposition. Robert Moses, president of the Long Island State Park Commission, was today expected by his friends and associates to flatly reject the proposal sponsored by the Nassau County Citizens Committee to acquire the 48-mile Long Island Motor Parkway in place of the proposed Northern State Parkway The commission, it was recorded, considered the proposal some years ago and rejected it on the ground that the cost of widening the Motor Parkway, constructing new bridges and grade separations, additional land for landscaping and parking spaces added to the cost of the parkway itself would cost more than the construction of an en tirely new thoroughfare. United in Fight Northern State Parkway recently struck a snag at Wheatley Hills, where a group of millionaire estate owners banded together to fight the Long Island Park Commission's plans to project a parkway, similar to the Southern State Parkway, through their land. Organization of the Nassau Citizens Committee followed. Charles P.

Stewart, executive secretary of the committee, has offered the Motor Parkway proposal as an alternative to the Northern State Parkway, planned by the Long Island State Park Commission. Six points in favor of the use of Motor Parkway instead of building the Northern Parkway are listed by Stewart in a statement Eiven out last night. They are: l. it would provide a route nearer to Queensboro Bridge than any other that has been proposed, being seven miles nearer than the Park Commission route. 2.

It would serve the great avia tion district near Westbury. 3. It largely runs through unde veloped territory and would raise property valuations in Nassau and Suffolk. 4. It is capable of develoyment into a route of great beauty.

5. It intersects with the proposed Sagitikos Parkway, designed to connect the Northern and Southern parkways, completing a parkway loop. 6. The regional plan for New York and its environs has rejected the Commission's plan for the Northern State Parkway.

PARI PUCA TO START Mrs. Williams Prepares to Tidy Up Boro; Meets With Donaghue Today. An educational campaign to the schools, use of paper bags In garbage cans, covered garbage trucks and a periodic cleanup of vacant lots are the solutions advanced by Mrs. Charles B.

Williams of White- stone, appointed chairman of tha Queens permanent sanitation commission last Friday by Boro President George U. Harvey. Mrs. Williams, who is also chair-man of civics for the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs and a deputy inspector for the Health Department, has been actively interested for many years in ridding Queens of mosquitoes and mosquito breeding places. "There is a very great need lor a general cleanup in Queens," said Mrs.

Williams. "New York City as a whole is way behind other cities in the matter of garbage collection. The money is being spent, but the city has grown so fast that it has been unable to take account of ths most modern methods. Seeks Co-operation. 'The work must begin with ob taining the co-poeration of resi dents.

Ideas of civic cleanliness should be impressed on the minds of the children at school. This never has been done until recentlv. Tha spring cleanup in Queens was effective while it lasted. Today some areas are just as bad as they wera before the drives were instituted. This is due to a lack of co-operation on the part of residents.

"One plan now under consideration of Commissioner Halleran seems an excellent one. Two kinds of paper bags, one oiled and tha other plain, would be distributed for the collection of garbage. The oiled one could be so made that it would nt a garbage can and the other one would be used for papers, which, should be kept separate from the moist garbage. These could ba easily picked un and closed bv tha collectors. If the system should prove successful, perhaps chain stores would distribute the bags with groceries, printing advertising on them and calling attention to their own co-operation with ideaa of civic cleanliness." Today Mrs.

Williams will ennfev with Assistant Commissioner of Highways Frank Lee Donaghue to plan a cleanup campaign tor August. Some specific nlans have nresentpi themselves and will be incorporated into the program. "I want the co-operation of the merchants' associations," said Mrs. Williams. "Particularly we want to reach those stores where groceries, iiicam, iruus, iooastuns and candy are sold to see that they are kepi) clean and In accordance with order.

Next I want the co-operation of the high school children, who can police the blocks in which their homes are located. The children can see that) garbage cans are not left uncovered in violation of the city ordinance and that papers are not left loose to blow about. After thev have cau tioned householders the children could communicate with the police If violation were persisted in. "An effort will be made lo have all open garbage wagons covered witn canvas tops. We want trash bins on as many corners as possible In Queens.

These are very necessary. In Germany small wire baskets are hung on every telegraph pole. Something like that should be done here. "We want empty lots taken care of, too. They should be left sightly and not be made collection places for tin cans and old auto bodies.

I think it would be a good idea If the city interfered and cleaned up' those lots where the owners take no care of them, and afterward send a bill to the owners. The Health Department has such an ordinance with regard to swamp land where mosquitoes can breed, and we need the same thing with regard to lots filled with trash and rubbish." Mrs. Williams believes that It will be five years before there will be incinerators enough to properly take care of Queens. The difficulty, she explains, Is to find locations for them. N.

Skldmore of Nassau today took issue with off! cials here on the stand that they are taking on the State law, which bars all right hand turns on a red light. On the grounds of facilitating traffic and believing that life or property is not in Jeopardy, this vil lage Is allowing turns, although their neighboring villages forbid it. Chief Skidmore, who is chairman of the committee named by the Nassaau County Village Officials Association to study traffic problems throughout the county, contends that the attitude of Lawrence in the matter is most unwise, pointing out that the regulation is a State law and in view of this no redress may be obtained, In the "event" of accidents, where the question of turns is in volved. "Under the arrangement at Law rence. if a motorist Is making i right hand turn on a red light and another car allowed to proceed In the opposite direction by the lights collide, no rearess in court couia De had by the motorist making the rteht hand turn." Chief Skidmore said." "This Is an Important point and I believe the officials should take it Into consideration." The chief further pointed out that Inasmuch as the matter was a State law which most of the villages In the county were adopting, he felt convinced that Lawrence should do likewise.

The action taken last Thursday by the Board of Estimate in approving the condemnation map showing the property of the Long Island Water In the Rockaways that will have to be acquired by the city to give that place city water Is viewed today by civic workers throughout the peninsula as one of the most substantial Improvements that the present administration has given the Rockaways. "The action of the city will represent a big saving to taxpayers in the 5th Ward an dts undoubtedly cne of the major Improvements that have come to the Rockaways during the Walker administration," Richard M. Gipson, presiaen of the Chamber of Commerce, declared. Edmond J. Powers, executive secretary of the chamber, said that the city's action represented a victory his organization.

"We have led the fight to have the city take over t'ne water company and we certainly regard Thursday's action by the Hoard of Estimate as a great victory xor our organization." Rate Cut Assured. Mr. Powers further declared that he had received assurance from Commissioner John Dietz of the De cartment of Water Supply. Gas and Electricity that the Rockaways will have city water at city rates before t.ie end of the summer season. With the approval of the con demnation map an application will probably be filed this week by the Corporation Counsel with the Supreme Court for the appointment of three commissioners to fix the valuation of the property of the pri vate company.

The likelihood, It is said, is that the court will order the city to take over the company's holdings in the Rockaways at once. After the issu ance of the court order th econdem- nation proceedings may go ahead. SPECULATORS IRK IN MARKET ROW Mineola, L. July 29 The battle between Long Island farmers and Commissioner of Markets Thomas F. Dwyer of New York City over the inrmers' refusal to use the Bronx Terminal Market to dispose of their products, had narrowed Itself down today to the question of speculators.

Farmers want the speculators barred entirely from the market while Dwyer If said to be willing to segregate them. Speculators at present frequent the entire market area, bargaining with the. farmers for their loads before the market opens. Dwyer is re ported as willing to require the to stand In one place where farmers can trade with them it thev desire to. but where they ttnn't tut ftnnnvpri If thrv rinn't.

Nas sau farmers want th! speculators entirely barred from the markets, they revealed Saturday night during a meeting at the Courthouse here.

Mr. and Mrs. Ashmead, grandparents of Warren B. Ashmead, prominent Jamaica banker, who has lived in Jamaica all his life, spared neither time nor trouble in their declining years to make their little 100- foot garden in the southerly section of the village a thing 6f beauty. It was some distance from their own home, but they were anxious that the villagers and their children might have some spot where all the lilory of flowers be absorbed.

Even Name Now Forgotten. Forty years has left its heavy hand on the old garden, known by Jamaicaites of another generation as Ashmead Park. Instead of colorful blooms, teeming rose bushes and rows of brilliant pansies, Ashmead Park today lies a barren sector, devoid of even a single blade of grass and unbeautifully palisaded with an iron fence erected by the Queens Park Department. A few odd iron bars that a year or so ago supported swings and other recreation equipment for children, pieces of old au tomobiles and sheet roofing are all that now grace this whilom garden of beauty.
