Declaring that "nothing could much worse than to have as a county judge a man who openly advocates and defends the lawless liquor business," the Rev.

W. Wofford T. Duncan, minister of Janes Methodist Episcopal Church, Reid ave. and Mon. roe today served notice upon Representative Reuben L.

Haskell that he (Duncan) would oppose strongly Haskell's candidacy for the bench if the Congressman entered the lists. The Representative's name was tered as a possibility for the Republican nomination for county judge last week. At the time it was stated that his advocacy of the repeal of prohibition would make his canvass a genuine test of the wet and dry strength in the borough. Mr. Haskell, in a statement, declared that should he run, he would make his general qualifications the issue rather than his stand on liquor, and added that were he elected he "would enforce all law." Janes Church is one of the big churches in the Congressional district now represented by Haskell in the Lower House at Washington, and ever since Haskell has appeared as a leader in the fight to repeal the dry amendment to the Federal Constitution there has been an exchange of communications between him and the Rev.

Mr. Duncan. in which Haskell has defended his course, while the clergyman has expressed criticism of it. And the minister's announcement of his war on Haskell should he aspire to the county court bench came in the latest of these letters, replying to a request from Mr. Haskell to be allowed to address the church body, a request directed to the Rev.

Mr. Duncan and the official board of the church a few days ago. The Rev. Mr. Duncan's letter follows: "My dear Congresman HaskellI am addressing you this open letter relative to your communication to the official board of Janes Methodist Episcopal Church, a copy of which I have received this week.

This is not an official reply, as the board meets Monday night and I do not know what action it will take, but as you evidently gave your letter to the press before it reached our official board I feel it fair to send this open letter, which I am also sending to The Eagle. chief point in your letter is your advocacy of a new Federal constitutional amendment providing for referendum on all proposed amenda ments. This is not the point at which we criticize you. Our objection is to your championship of the movement to secure the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. This makes you virtually a pro-liquor advocate.

It deeply humilitates us to know that our representative in Congress is leading in a movement which gives aid and comfort to the disreputable saloon business, which has shown itself to be utterly lawless; antagonistic to social progress, the breeding place of which crime and the resort of every element is unpatriotic and un-Christian. However pure your motives may be, the course you have chosen has put you directly in the path of every moral and social endeavor of the churches in your district, which are laboring diligently to build up the kingdom of Christ on the earth. We are compelled to count you, who should about be our ally, as our enemy, as we go to do our legitimate work. I feel that you have not duly considered this matter, for the other alternative. that are morally indifferent, I am not you ready to accept.

As to your statement of attitude prior to election before our men, my recollection is that you made no pro announcement intention to become a leader. I have been glad to hear reports of your probable withdrawal from the congresional race in 1920, but am sorry to learn of your aspirations for the county judgeship. In this I would feel called upon to oppose your election to my congregations more vigorously even than if you were running for Congress. for nothing could be much worse than to have as a county judge 8 man who openly advocates and defends the lawless liquor business. "As to your appearance before our congregation, I personally have no objection, as it would give us opportunity to discuss the matter openly, and am a strong believer tor free speech.

Of course, now our people are away I do not speak for the official board, for the summer, and, as I said a a above, but onlv personally. You will receive official reply from the official board in due time. Very sincerely, W. T. DUNCAN." HAMBY NOT AT SERVICES (Special to The Eagle.)

O'Grady, as Sleuth, Jails Two Movie Men Mrs. Ellen O'Grady, Fifth Deputy Police Commissioner for the time her career on Him Enright's staff, yesterday participated rather, caused an arrest. Brooklyn was the scene of her debut AS a practical policewoman and sleuth. For some weeks the woman Deputy Police Commissioner had been the recipient of complaints, so she declared. pertaining to the "loose manner" in which, it was alleged, the movbeing picture house at 691 Nostrand ave, was being conducted.

So day Mrs. O'Grady set out to do some sleuthing and investigating on her own account. Devoid of all disguise, as is wont of the profession, Mrs. O'Grady took and feigning an interest in the movie her stand before the cinema house, posters observed, as she later said, the doorkeeper practically "slip" in one child after another. Walking up to him she said: "Sir, you are admitting children." "And who are you? replied the self-same ticket collector.

policewoman." was the suave response. But as she did not have with her at the time the required symbol of authority, her badge, Mrs. O'Grady called upon a nearby patrolman, John McCausland of the Grand ave, station, to carry out the proscript of the law. Still in ignorance of the complainant's identity, the officer took into 7 TO 15 YEAR TERM FOR MRS. MADDELINA Woman Who Killed Boarder, Sentenced -Breaks Down as She Sees Children.

Convicted by a jury of manslaughter, first degree, for shooting and killing Vito Evola, a boarder at her home, Mrs. Caroline Maddelina, 36 years old, and a mother of four children, was sentenced today by Supreme Court Justice Fawcett to Auburn for from to 15 years. The case was marked by at least an unusual feature--no motive for the crime could be discovered by the police. Mrs. Maddelina was living happily with her husband at 57 Columbia and, according to the husband's testimony, Evola, who conducted a butcher shop below the dat where the Maddelinas resided, was an ideal boarder and a friend of the family.

Several moments before the shooting occurred Mrs. Maddelina handed over her youngest child to her 13-year-old daughter and went into the parlor with Evola. The husband was home at the time, but testified he knew of no quarrel between his wife and Evola and heard nothing until the fatal shot was fired. The conviction of Mrs. Maddelina, Saturday, marked the close of the third murder case tried before Justice Fawcett within a week.

The first was that of William Keinanen, acquitted on a charge of killing Rudolph Nokola, a wrestler, and the second the conviction of Gordon Faucett Hamby of murder in the first degree, on a charge of killing Dewitt C. Peale. When sentenced today, Mrs. Maddelina went through the ordeal without shedding a tear, but as she was being escorted over to the County Court, where the prison van was waitling to convey her to the Raymond Street Jail, en route to Auburn State Prison, she saw her children, who are now in the custody of the Children's Society, waving to her from the top floor of the S. P.

C. A. Building on Schermerhorn st. The long sentence had failed to disturb her but the sight of her young children moved her to tears and she broke down and wept. 3,545 TROOPS ON FINLAND Boston.

COLLEGE HOSPITAL Brooklyn Institution to Fill Up Classes From School About to Suspend Work. The Long Island College has been requested to admit into its medical school the students the Fordham University Medical School, which is suspending its work because of the lack of endowment and other funds to finance the school. There are approximately 175 students of the Fordham Medical School seeking admission to other institutions so they can complete their medical education. They comprise the three lower classes of the four-year course. The Long Island College Hospital authorities have notified the Fordham University authorities that they will be able to accommodate thirty men in each of their second and third year classes, but will not be able to accept the whole Fordham medical student body en masse.

The classes at the Long Island institution are now limited to 100 members each. The present fourth year class is now at capacity, but it is expected that a number will drop out because of failure to pass their last examinations. The Long Island school officials have offered to replace any these delinquents with members of the Fordham school's fourth year class. At the most, the Long Island school will not be able to accommodate more than 80 of the Fordham's students. The Long Island school officials are enforcing in respect to the Fordham applicants the same rules that govern their own students, Dr.

Otto V. Huffman, dean of the Long Island school. stated. No student will be admitted who has a single condition charged against him in his studies, and no member will be admitted who has failed to advance with his class, no matter what the reason was. The Long Island College Hospital officials consider the request of the Fordham University authorities in the nature of a high compliment to the caliber of work done at the local institution.

Fordham Medical School. although only 16 years old, was ranked as a "Class school, in the front rank of medical institutions. Long Island College Hospital also is ranked as medical school. The Long Islands institution recently adopted entrance requirements and class regulations which are stated to be "second to none in the country in stringency." Announcement was made today that a committee of students and graduates had been formed by Fordham alumni to raise a $1.000,000 endowment fund for the Medical School. Officials of the school stated today that the abandonment of the medical classes in the fall was as definite and certain as any human event can be.
