approaches or the new Manhattan Bridge Includes the making of a new street on the Manhattan side ihat will wipe out the larger jv- rt of Chinatown and give a loop for Brooklyn trolley cars through a new street between Chatham Square and and tho new bridge with the Brooklyn Bridge. Radical changes will also be made in Brooklyn, as the direct line approach will make Flatbush-nve. and Puiton-st. the Brooklyn terminal. The Mfmauk Theatre, the Ffcet Street Methodist Church and the Catholic Church ot Our Laay of Mercy will be swept away.

The cost of the Brooklyn approach if roughly estimated at $3,000,000, and the Manhattan approach will cost as much. In Manhattan the improvement will include the condemnation of the. land bounded by the Bowery and Canal and Bayard the cutting of a new direct line through Chinatown, by widening between Centre and Mott cutting through the smail streets between Mottet. and the Bowery, and the carrying of the car tracks across the tracks of the Third-aye. line to the Brooklyn Bridge entrance.

NVlson P. Lewis, chief engineer of the Board of Estimate, submitted plans for the approaches, and. while ne would not talk about them, it is known that he is a stanch advocate of the direct approach plan, which also has the indorsement or Controller Grout. The Controller, in commenting on the plan. 'ihe j.roposltlon is to make provision In the Eoroueh of Manhattan for the continuation of the Brooklyn car lines, ac to make the connection of the two bridges possible.

Without condemning any of the plans formerly proposed. I have derMed to suggest thai cars run neither in a subway nor upon the elevated structure but on the surface. This -wall be possible by running along the route which I have outlined, and by taking a short cut through Chinatown. Regarding the compromise rlan suggested by Mr. Lewis in Brooklyn and the conseauent condemnation of the Montaun Theatre and other valuable properties.

I have only to say that it has seemed beat to me to provide for a straight line of communication with tne Manhattan Bridge. The Montauk and the other properties may be particularly valuable at this time but will they be so twenty years from now Direct communication with no congestion of traffic Is more valuawe. to my mind, than any property in the neighborhood. Xo was present to discuss the plans from rropertv owners' point of view, and after Commissioner Lindenthal had signified his readiness to accept the plan the board decided to advertise a public hearing: for January 25. FAVOR PLAN VAN WYCK REJECTED.

Board of Estimate Hears Report on New Hall of Records Decorations. Action taken yesterday by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment indicates that the plans for the interior finishing of the new Hall of Reecrds on the lines laid down by John P. Thomas will be carried out. Nelson P. Lewis, chief engineer of the board, submitted a report approving the plan to restore the original plans for the new Kail of Records as prepared by Mr.

Thomas and accepted by the late Mayor Strong. Mr. Thomas's plans called for interior fittings and decorations of marble at a cost of nearly $2,000,000. Mayor Van Wyck had the plans changed, substituting Portland and Kenne's cement for the marble, at a saving of more than $250,000. The board yesterday announced itself favorably inclined to Mr.

Lewis's report, but deferred action until the Corporation Counsel could draw up a suitable resolution. President Cantor wrote to the board suggesting that eminent artists be employed to furnish mural decorations for the hall, and that a portrait of Andrew H. Green, "the Father of Greater be painted at the city's expense and placed in the Governor room in the City Hall. The suggestions were referred to the Municipal Art Commission. Charles E.

Simpson wanted a hearing on a petition signed by several thousand residents of The Bronx asking that further rights be refused to the New-York Central and the New-York and Harlem Railroad Company until they agreed to reduce their fare within the city limits to five cents. Mayor Low promised to give Mr. Simpson's constituents a hearing later. Controller Grout gained authority to get options on land for small playgrounds en the lower East Side in response to a communication made to the Board of Estimate by the Citizens Union last October. He suggested an appropriation of 5250,000 for the purchase of such land.

Controller Grout recommended the purchase er the property and plant of the New-York and Vestchester Water Supply Company for $512,38 a 10, to the company has agreed. Commissioner Monroe told the board he approved buying the property at once. He Old not believe the city couid louild a plant fcr the price asked for the existing plant and franchises. board approved the recommendation of the Controller and decided to issue the necessary bonds as soon as the Corporation Counsel has passed on the power of receivers to sell the property and give absolute title. ONE OF CROKER'S WRITS DECIDED.

The Appellate Division Holds That Sturgis Had Authority to Continue Vacation. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday handfd down a decision reversing tho order of the lower court in the case of the application of Edward F. Croker for a writ of peremptory mandamus directing Fire Commissioner Sturgis to reinstate him in the office of chief of the department and to the command of the uniformed force of the Fire Department of this city. Thlower court granted the writ of mandamus, and Commissioner Sturgis appealed and disregarded the writ; that writ the Appellate Division now reverses. Justice Hatch write? the opinion of the majority of the court.

He holds that the Commissioner had authority to direct the chief to continue on his vacation for the period covered by his leave of absence. Justice Mclaughlin concurs with Justice. Hatch, and Justice Inaraham also concurs generally but writoe a separate opinion. Presiding Justice Van Brunt writes a dissenting opinion. In which Justice O'Brien concurs.

The proceeding so decided, of course, relates only to the status of the chief during the time he was under suspension, prior to his protracted trial. The appeal from the action of Commissioner In dismissing the chief is entirely distinct, and it renders the earlier of little consequence. The appeal from the dismissal has not yet been argued before the Appellate Division. NINE REPORTED KILLED IN WRECK. Pt.

Putnam's Sons, the publishers. The action was first tried in the United States Circuit Court, where a verdict for the defendants was. directed by Judge Lacombe. The defendants were sued by the author for alleged infringement of copyright and trademark and unfair competition. The finding is now sustained by Judges Wallace, Coxo and Townsend.

In 1899 the defendants brought out what was known as -The! Brushwood Edition of Kipling." Two hundred sets of the Brushwood edition were bound and fifteen bore what the author declares was his private trademark, an elephant's head inclosed within a circle. As to the contention of the author that his copyright had been infringed the court says: "The proposition that an author can protect his writings by a trademark is unique, and, at first blush, somewhat startling. It is certainly offensive to the aesthetic and poetic taste, to place, such poems as the and 'The Last Chanty' In the same category with pills and soap, to be dealt with as so much merchandise." The. use of the. elephant's head and circle on the fifteen sets of the defendants' edition, the court thought, was an Impropriety, but not sufficient in Itself to sustain the charge of intentional deception.

B. K. T. USES NEW HEATING METHOD. But it Puts the Third Rail Out of Business.

Orders were sent out from the main offices of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company yesterday that all the trolley cars should be. heated, except during the rush hours. The conductors were ordered to keep the electric radiators working until the car was warm, and then to turn off the power. This is something new. as heretofore the conductors have had the strictest orders to leave the heating apparatus alone, it being regulated at the car barns.

Most of the cars in Brooklyn weie comfortable yesterday, in spite of the low tern for heating necessitated the abandoning of the third rail service on the elevated, engines being substituted for motors.

REFUSES MURDERER'S BODY. His Brother Says Faber. Not King, Is tkfl Family Name. The. body of Albert Kins, or Faber.

as it now appears his na ins was. who murdered the Ftnlay child, will have to burled by the city of Mount Vernon. Joseph Faber. a printer, of Philadelphia, brother of the dead roan, came yesterday to Mount Vernon and refused to have anythirs to do with the body. Faber says his brother was an Englishman, of Hebrew extraction.

The family came to this country seven years ago. It then consisted of the mother, the two sone and a daughter. The mother was a widow. Four years ago she married a man named Albart took the name of his stepfather. Joseph retained his own.

Three years ago Albert disappeared from home, and two years ago the mother died. Something over a year ago the brother and sister in Philadelphia heard that Albert was dead. Beyond this they heard nothing: of him until they saw the story of the murder and suicide and saw the pictures of the dead man In the papers. There is no truth in the report that the murderer was worth $5,000. The coroner found $29 in his trunk and a life insurance policy for $1,000, worthless because of its suicide clause.

It was learned yesterday that a young man named Albert King, resembling murderer was for several years coachman for John Shulta. a wealthy resident of Rye, at the game time that Elizabeth Hannen, the nurse because of whose refusal of him he killed himself, was in Port Chester, near Bye, by Mr. and Mrs. Ftnlay. the parents of the murdered child.

The funeral of the child was held yesterday morninK at 10 o'clock at the home. in Corcoran Manor, Mount Vernon. and was attended only by the family and relatives. The bandages about the child's neck completely concealed the gash made by the. murderer The services were conducted by the Rev Edward J.

Flynn. pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart. The body was taken to Calvary for burial. Flowers, with messages of sympathy, were sent to the house, even by persons entirely unknown to tho Finlaya. MOROCCO.
