(By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, Berlin, March 23-It 1s learned that the government has decided it must take measures to subdue the Frankenstein it raised by giving the Ludendorffian self-defense organizations encouragement in order to utilize their services against presumptive Polish danger in East Prussia and Silesia.

Another bunch of reactionary plotters, charged with negotiating with French officers for assistance In carrying out their own aims has been nabbed at Frankfort. The conspirators planned to blow up a Jewish synagogue in order to start disorders which would give the reactionary organizations a chance to ride into power and institute a reactionary regime under the guise of suppressing them.

CITY ACTS ON PLAN FOR B'KLYN-QUEENS BOULEVARD ROUTE The construction of a new 170- foot street four miles in length, beginning at Kings Highway in Flatbush and terminating at South Conduit ave. in the Boro of Queens, was recommended to the Board of Estimate by its Committee on City Plan and Public Improvements today. The committee informed board that the routes selected for the proposed new highway afforded an opportunity to provide a broad thoroughfare connecting important traffic arteries in the two boros at a comparatively low cost. No estimate of the probable cost appeared in the report of the committee. "An attempt has been made to 1o- cate the street as far north as practicable, but about 100 small dwellings and outbuildings fall within the limits of the area proposed to be included within the street lines," the committee stated.

Chief Engineer Arthur S. Tuttle submitted a report describing the route of the new thoroughfare. Ag planned it will run from Kings Highway, near Remsen and Linden eastward to 98th at Deehan thence along the latter street and Lorraine ave. to Fountain northeasterly to Pine st. and Hegeman eastwardly along the latter street to South Conduit near Merrimac ave.

in Queens. The board set April 20 as the date for a public hearing on the project. CITY LOSES SUIT AGAINST CITIZENS WATER COMPANY The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court today unanimously upheld the contention of the Citizens Water Supply Company of Newtown, Queens, that it had the right to lay water mains in the 3d and 4th Wards of the of Queens without permission from the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. In 1921 in a suit brought by the city to oust the company from its use of thoroughfares in these wards, better known as Flushing and Jamaica, it was held in Special Term by Justice Daniel F. Cohalan that the city's suit was well founded.

Justice Cohalan, however, acted with knowledge that whichever way the case was decided an appeal would be taken, and also with special regard to the possibility of Queens people being left without a water supply. Accordingly, he approved the city's protest against the use of streets, but suspended judgment for a period of a year. Before the year had expired the city had taken over the operation of the private water system, so that the only effect of today's decision will be that the city will have to pay the Citizens Water Supply Company for mains under the city's streeis.

Artists Fleece Flatbush Housewives Artistically Flatbush has recently been the field of operations for a new group of artists--art artists in every sense of the word, who are working a new version of the old "picture game" on gullible housewives. Their method of procedure is as follows: A very pleasant, neatly dressed young man calls first.

When the housewife, who has been selected as victim, opens the he acts as though she had been expecting him. She has not, and says so, whereupon he politely inquires if she She hasn't hasn't, and received this his is his postal cue card. to produce a card on which it says that the Pioneer Art Institute, istered, located at W. 41st hattan, specializes in portraits of children, and is willing to make portraits madame's children at its own risk, with no obligation on her part, unless she is willing to take them. The card also tells of a school conducted at the above address, and mentions that a young artist will be rent to interview madame.

Thus introduced, the young man to get ten names, a and that she will explains to the woman that he has be doing him a great favor if she will let him use her name. She can't refuse; anyway, she doesn't, thereupon asks for photos of her children, saying he will have the portraits made from photographs and save her the trouble of bringing the kids to Manhattan. for SEVERAL DROWNED IN IOWA FLOOD Sioux City, Iowa, March 23-Held by an ice gorge five miles long formed at Brassfelds Island, south of here, spring flood waters of the Missouri River today threatened to sweep through parts of' this city unless the jam is broken. Already the backed-up water, which continued to rise while efforts were made to break up the gorge by dynamite, has caused one death. Several other persons are reported drowned and hundreds of head of livestock, implements and dwellings were carried away.

The property damage is estimated in excess of $100,000. As men attempted to break the water barrier, warnings were gent out to all residents along the river south of the gorge to abandon their homes. Many have depatred. Should the give way suddenly, those directing the dynamiting said, the tremendous head of water would destroy property within a wide range along the lowlands below Brassfields Island. Two ineffectual attempts were made to dynamite the ice jam by dropping bombs from an airplane.

Although the explosions tore huge craters in the gorge, slush ice Alled them rapidly. The water rose rapidly at first, trapping Arthur Johnson, the known drowned man, as it swept across Betzs Island, west of Sergeant Bluff, near here. Rescuing parties were formed to go to the aid of four or five families said to have been marooned on the island.

SUN A PRISONER ABOARD WARSHIP IN HONG KONG HARBOR (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila.

Ledger; Copyright, 1923.) Hong Kong, March 23--Dr. Sun Yat Sen's vogime at Canton is stunned and man himself is reported a virtual prisoner on board the warship Wingcheong in the harbor as result of Peking's practically seizing control at Canton. The Pekin Government's officials, appointed after Sun's troops were victorious. now are in charge and Sun is help. less.

While some Kwangsi and Yunnan troops profess loyalty to Dr. Sun, the majority undoubtedly are hostile to him and are determined to remain at Canton until they are rewarded for wresting the province from General Chen Chiung-Ming, which, however, would enable Dr. Sun to return to a semblance of influence. The outstanding fact is that the Pekin appointees in Canton possess military strength while Dr. Sun has none.

Kwangtung province really is a pawn between General Pel-Fu, the military dictator at Peking, and General Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian overlord. Dr. really is not counting in the game.

GOVERNOR HOPES STATE PLEA WILL SAVE BILLS To Speak in City April 6-Machold Moves for Compromise Conference. (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, March 23-Although the Republican Assembly has defeated Governor Smith's constitutional amendments, notwithstanding the fact that Speaker H. Edmund Machold has decreed death for the statutory consolidation of the 187 State departments, Governor Smith himself still has hopes of putting these measures through the Lower House.

In his answer to Speaker Machold's decree he showed that there is still some fight left in him, and in his announcement to make a tour of the State, beginning with a speech before the City Club of New York on April 6, there is seen a determination to influence the Republican Assembly by pressure from home. At the completion of the Governor's tour it is expected that a new move to reconsider the adverse reports of the Assembly committees will be made, in the hope that the Republican legislators may have been affected by the support that the Governor hopes to get on his trip through the State. Such a move to reconsider has already been defeated once, and the outlook for the Governor is anything but bright. Signs of a truce, however, are evident in the suggestion of Mr. Machold today that a committee be appointed to confer with the Governor on the short ballot and consolidation schemes.

The fact the Governor did not refer to the denunciation by Mr. Machold of the Lockwood Committee bills in his answer to the Speaker, and the fact that half a dozen Democratic Assemblymen voted against the measures and the Stock Exchange bills yesterdaYhese looked upon as proof projects can never be revived. WALKER BILL PUTS 2 PERCENT TAX ON "MONEYED CAPITAL" (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, March 23-The Hylan Administration bill to make up for the defleit caused by the adverse decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the National Bank tax case was introduced into the Legislature by Senate Majority Lead James J.

Walker today. The bill provides for a 2 percent tax on all "moneyed capital" engaged in banking. The U. S. Supreme Court decided that the tax on National Bank shares was void because other moneyed capital was taxed only on income.

The Walker bill attempts to get around the decision by an ad valorem tax on shares and all moneyed capital competing with national banks. It was explained today that the bill, if it should become a law, would affect private bankers, money lenders and all who a business similar to national banks. The New York City 'Administration will probably back the bill because the adverse decision in the National Bank tax case endangered the budget and threatened to make Anancially impossible the construction of many public improvements, including the Brooklyn Municipal Building. Not only can no further revenue be collected under the old National Bank Tax Law, but money already collected must be refunded. Ever since the decision of the.

Supreme Court, the State and city tax experts have been racking their brains for a way to make up the defcit. There have been several tentative proposals but the Walker bill is the first concrete measure to be framed. is said to be in accord with 'the law signed by President Harding just prior to the cloging of Congress.

Calder was not considered in the matter at all. Mr. Calder wrote to Assemblymen Ricca and Clayton, the two Republicans from Brooklyn in the lower house, asking them to kill the bill. Assemblyman Ricca, half Democrat, half Republican, came along with the bill for four additional justices. It contained, however, the provision for interim appointment by the Mayor.

Mr. Calder and his Republican friends are absolutely opposed to this provision, and Ricca is planning to remove it in a bill which he will introduce next week. Assemblyman, Clayton, however insists that no new justices are needed and says he has the votes to kill Ricca's bill in any form. DEAD 3 DAYS FROM GAS The body of Albert VanLeuven, 43, of 213 Stagg was found last night by John Tessler, another tenant at the same address, with a small gas heater still burning. Dr.

station are seeking his relatives. CORPORATION NOTICES. SEALED BIDS WILL BE RECEIVED by the President of the Borough of Brooklyn at Room 21, Borough Hall, Brooklyn, until 11 a.m., on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1923. NO. 1.
