This organization is allied with a general organization in Queens whose membership is made up almost exclusively of citizens of German birth or descent and which gained considerable prominence in the recent campaign. It also expects to be heard from in the campaign of next year. Mr. Bell was attorney for Mrs. Rose Ricco of College Point in a matter which came before Magistrate James J.

Conway in the Flushing Magistrate's Court just a week ago, and in which appeared also Anton Lerner, a neighbor of Mrs. Ricco, who lives at 53 Ave. College Point. There was a dispute over property rights between the parties to the action. In the course of his defense of Mrs.

Ricco Mr. Bell is quoted as having said of Mr. Lerner: "This man is a typical Hun." According to reports and also to statements made to The Eagle reporter, this remark was discussed at a meeting of the Flushing Branch of the Citizens Alliance, which was held a day or so after Mr. Bell is quoted as having made the remark. After the discussion it was decided that the matter should be referred to the executive committee of the Flushing Branch, with the recommendation that this committee communicate with Dana Wallace and protest against the appointment of Mr.

Bell in the event that he had been quoted correctly and held the views ascribed to him. This executive committee is composed of Frederick Kladizko, William Heidtmann, Charles Posthauer, Henry Ries, Christopher Ries, John Braunshausen. Adolph Lievendag and John T. Detjen. Carl Gerks.

president of the Flushing Branch, is ex-officio a member of the committee. The committee decided to follow the recommendations of the members, and last evening it was said that the proposed letter of protest either has been sent or is about to be sent to Mr. Wallace. Charles Posthauer, who is chairman of the legislative committee of the Flushing Branch of the Citizens Alliance, when asked regarding the action of the society, said: Posthauer Speaks for Alliance. "The alleged remark of Mr.

Bell was reported to us at the meeting. One of the members of the branch read the article containing this quotation from a newspaper. We took the stand that such sentiments ought not to be held by any person who was an aspirant for public office. It should be remembered that a very large proportion of the residents of Queens are German by birth or descent. The sacrifices which these people made during the recent war and since are well known.

We believe that the expression of such sentiments is likely to produce class hatred and should cease. They are inimical to the best and most harmonious relations. They continue to keep alive race hatred, and here in the United States it seems to us that the time has come to put away such feelings and work to weld all citizens into one common mass for the support of our country. "We thought that it would be very unfortunate if Mr. Bell held these sentiments and should be appointed an assistant district attorney and some person should come before him who was accused of some crime and who happened to have a German ancestry.

We feared that in that event he would be a persecutor and not a prosecutor. We decided to protest on those grounds to Mr. Wallace against his appointment. "It 18 possible that Mr. Bell may have been misquoted and he may not have, meant what he said.

If that is 80, I am sure that an explanation would be very gladly received by our committee." When Mr. Bell was asked by The Eagle reporter concerning the alleged remark, he said: Said It," Says Bell. "In the first place, I want to say that I said that very thing and I meant it. When I am understood properly in what I said and meant, if there is any association or class of citizens who destre to champion the cause which I criticised, they are welcome to do so. It is necessary to understand what I said to remember exactly what is the history of ancient Huns.

They were the people who rushed down over Europe, destroying the peoples they met and disregarding every right of person and property that interfered with their plans of conquest. "Now I said that this man was a typical Hun because the testimony showed that he disregarded every right of my client. He disregarded her property line; he built a ditch and turned water upon her property; he got over on to her property and he pulled up the surveyors' stakes. He had no regard for her rights whatsoever. That was why I made the r'ex mark that I did and it there is any body of citizens who want to champion that kind of conduct they may do so.

did not in any way characterize any other person in the world with my remark, and I had no intention of doing 80. When I was writing upon citizenship for a local paper in Flushing my views in regard to the Germans were very plainly expressed. I have a very high regard for the lawabiding citizens of this country who are of German birth or descent. Speeches which I have made in the Ridgewood section and elsewhere throughout this country will best give my feelings in this regard. I am so much on record in this connection that I do not believe it 18 necessary for me to say anything further.

"However, I want to add this also. Whether or not the Citizens Alliance desire to make this matter a political lasue, they cannot, because I am not candidate for appointment to office. have long been the personal friend of Dana Wallace. I have worked for him in a political way whenever 1 could, and I worked hard for him in this last campaign. When he was elected there were some of my friends who were kind enough to mention me in connection with an appointment in his office.

Mr. Wallace never indicated to me in any wily that he was even considering me for a position. Surely, I have not been offered one. But under the circumstances, to relieve Mr. Wallace of any embarrassment whatever, so far a8 I am concerned, told him that it would be impossible for me to accept any position in his office and not to give me any thought in that connection.

So while it is possible that this protest may have reached Mr. Wallace, It will give him no embarrassment because he 18 not considering me for an appointment." TIDE TABLE FOR TOMORROW. (Furnished by the 8. Const and. Geodette High, Time, High.

GLEN COVE WATER CONTRACT ATTACKED Commerce Chamber Committee Recommends City Reject It.

Glen Cove, L. Dec. 9--The committee appointed by James W. Townsend, president of the Glen Cove City Chamber of Commerce, at the request of Mayor Burns, to consider water matters, particularly the proposed contract between the City of Glen: Cove and the Nassau County Water Company, met last evening in joint session with the City Council, and rendered a report urging the city to reject the proposed contract and recommending that immediate action be taken to acquire the property of the Nassau County Water Company in the city limits and operate it under municipal control. The repoprt was a aunanimous one.

The committee consisted of Col. B. H. Tobey, James W. Townsend, William McCahill, H.

L. Hedger, Adolph Boause and H. E. Whiting. Among the reasons given why the committee felt that any increase in rates as contemplated by the water company was unjustified were: The present rate is paying a good return on the original investment.

Dec. 9--Any drug flends in pursuit of free dope might have satisfied their cravings without hindrance of law at the supply of morphine dumped at large, together with other hospital materials, in what is known 8.8 Rattlesnake Swamp, just beyond the northwest corner of Camp Upton the latter part of last week, it is alleged.

The matter came out at the meeting of the Town Board of Brookhaven Wednesday, when Justice Marchant reported that on Saturday night a quantity of drugs and chemicals was discovered in the spot mentioned. He said considerable of the material had already been carried away by people of the surrounding district, among other. things, packages of morphine, in particular, one bottle containing 1,000 morphine tablets. He reported that Dr. William Roe of Patchogue, health officer for the Town of Brookhaven, had been notified and had made a trip to the spot.

It was suggested, that as a result of Dr. Roe's inspection of the drugs dumped there, there might at- present be more of such drugs in his keeping than the law allowed. Dr. Roe appeared before the Board and said he had examined the mass of material which had obviously been dumped by a departing medical corps of Camp Upton, that he had picked up a few morphine tablets, some tins of zine oinment and some acetanylid pills. He that the stuff he had gathered was in his kitchen, and that anyone who wanted it was welcome to it.

The health board authorized the burial of the remaining material in some spot convenient to "Rattlesnake Swamp." MOTOR HITS CAPT. OTT. Halesite, L. Dec. 9-Capt.

VAN SICLEN GIVES ATTORNEYS A JOLT Tart Remark Ends Dispute Between Morris and Wallace. Justice James C. Van Siclen, who is presiding in the Queens County Supreme Court and who is recognized as of the hardest working Justices in one the Second Department, gave a severe shock yesterday to judicial precedent as it has been maintained for some months back in that court. He informed Asaistant District Attorney William J. Morris that he was ready to try all the criminal cases that would be brought before him and the District Attorney could start right away' with his cases, if he so desired.

The statement of Justice Van Sicken was further made interesting by the fact that Dana Wallace, who is to be the next District Attorney of Queens, was having an argument with Assistant District Attorney Morris at the time. Mr. Wallace is attorney for Willlam E. Eldridge of Elmhurst, who was formerly general bookkeeper and receiving teller for the Long Island City Branch of the American Trust Company and who was indicted on a charged of having credited a deposit made by Henry M. Deltz to the credit of R.

M. Dunton, another depositor. Mr. Wallace yesterday made a motion for an inspection of the Grand Jury minutes and in the coures of his remarks to Justice Van Siclen said the case had been pending against Eldridge for some time and that it had not been moved for trial by the District Attorney. "There has been no delay in this indictment to said Assistant District Attorney Morris, "If Mr.

Wallace was to step into the District Attorney's office, he could find the reason that this charge has not been brought up. The presiding justices in this court since this indictment was found were Justices Clark, Benedict and Aspinall. Each of them has been asked by the District Attorney to take up the consideration of a criminal calendar and each refused to do so." "That reason for not trying criminal cases cannot hold now," replied Justice Van Siclen. "You can some right in now and I will try any of the cases that you want tried." Justice Van Siclen reserved decision on the motion to inspect the Grand Jury minutes. After the statement of Justice Van Siclen District Attorney O'Leary WaS asked if he would present any cases to him for trial, "I surely will." he replied.

"Any cases that we can get ready we will try." CAPTURE ALLEGED BURGLAR. Mineola, L.

Dee. 9--A persistent rumor that the Plant Hotel has been sold to a New York City Cath-1 olic society has gone the rounds in this Village but has been denied by W. Underhill, manager in charge of the New York Harbor Dry Dock Corporation, which owns the hotel.

Inquiries at the Brooklyn Catholic Home here and at the Catholic Rectory brought the reply that they knew nothing of the sale of the property, and It is now believed that the rumor started from the fact that the closed last Saturday. Mr. Underhill said that the hotel closed because the company was losing money every minute it was running. The Plant Hotel is one of the housing propositions erected by the United States Government during the war and was for the purpose of housing the shipyard workers at the Port Jefferson yards, then operated by the Shipping Board.

WANT DOUBLE TRACK LINE TO HUNTINGTON Huntington, L. Dec. 9--Tho jumping the track by the 6:40 eastbound train Tuesday morning and the holding up of traffic for over an hour clearly demonstrated the urgent need of double tracks at least as far as Huntington, the largest village on the Wading River Branch of the Long Island Railroad, say commuters. At present there is double tracks to Cabin," only a mile and a half west of Cold Spring Harbor station, the first station to the west of this village, The line then is single tracks through to Wading River. If the line had been double tracked to this village the holdup of Tuesday morning, when hundreds of commuters of this village and villages east were between one and two hours late for business, would not have occurred.

as the train would not have attempted to leave the eastbound tracks until it had discharged its passengers and mail at the local station, which would have allowed the city-bound trains a clear right of way.
