Hamilton Parkway Appro priation Expected Soon. The Board of Estimate at Its meet ing next week Is expected to approve the Issue of $8,200 in special revenue bonds to defray ihe cost of making repairs to Fort Hamilton Parkway between Seventy-second street and Shore road. The Bureau of Con tract Supervision reported that these repairs would have to be made im mediately or the road would later have to be rebuilt entirely. The Board of Aldermen hag ap proved an expenditure of $9,000 for the work. This appropriation will have no bearing on the dispute as to whether the city or the property ownera should bear the expense of repaying the Parkway from one end to the other.

Controller Prendergast Is not opposed to the expenditure of city funds to make necessary repairs tn the highway, but he is opposed to having the city bear the entire ex pense of repavlng the highway. POSTMASTERS PUT UNDER CIVIL SERVICE Present Incumbents Not Affected but in Future Must Pass Examinations. 10,000 ARE PLACED OX LIST. Idea Is to Remove the Offices From Political Control and Influence. Washington, March 31 More than 10,000 first, second and third class postmasters were placed under civil service today by executive order of President Wilson.

Present incumbents of office are not affected, but In the future when vacancies occur as the result of death, or removal the Civil Service Commission will hold open competitive examinations. The name of the highest eligible candidate will then be submitted to the President. No person more than 65 years old shall be examined. Athough the order is framed to remove postmasters from politics, the Senate, however, has the right to reject the President's appointees. Postmaster General Burleson made this statement about the order: "Incumbent postmasters rendering good service and who continue to administer the affairs of their offices with ability will not be disturbed In such offices by any recommendation made by the head of the department.

It is due them, however, at this time to make it clear that hereafater supervisory officials of the department will be more exacting in the enforcement of those postal rules and regulations which made for increased efficiency, and postmasters will not only be ex pected to devote their time during of fice hours to a proper administration of their respective offices, but they will be required to thoroughly acquaint themselves with the various postal activities under their charge and in the future to occupy such part of their time not properly given to administrative work, to the performance of some part of those activities."

Formal application for the revocation of the detective license of the William J. Burns International Detective Agency was filed today with State Controller Eugene M. Travis by the New York Allied Printing Trades Council. The State Controller's office grants all detective licenses and is endowed with the power of revocation when good reason for such action is shown. Deputy Controller William Boardman of Brooklyn Is In immediate charge of detective license matters, and the application of the council was turned over to him.

A hearing will probably be had in the near future and action on the application will follow. The Allied Printing Trades Council served notice upon the Controller more man a week ago that It con templated this action. Meier Stein brink of Brooklyn Is counsel for the council and submitted today, along with the formal application, a long memorandum setting forth what the council believes to constitute the "good reasons" necessary for a revocation. The memorandum is signed by Edward Wi Edwards, secretary of the council. The principal cause for action is set forth as the activities of the Burns agency In connection with the Seymour Seymour case.

The memorandum states that "Burns, in March, 1916, broke into and enterd the office of Seymour Seymour, at 120 Broadway, and without permission took certain letters and private papers." It Is pointed out that as a result of this Burns was convicted of violating Section 653 of the Penal Law in an action in the Court of Special Sessions in January, 1917. The council's statement alleges that the agency is "not of good character to continue the privileges granted under the license." It recites that "on or about January 14, 1914, the license of the agency was revoked by the Atlanta City Council, in Georgia," and that "employees of the agency were fined in the Recorder's Court." It also says that George W. Wick-ersham, when he was Attorney General under President Taft, submitted to the President a memorandum in which the activities of the agency were condemned. This was in connection with certain land fraud cases. As a result of the activity of the Burns men, it Is said, a man named William N.

Jones was convicted. It is recited that after the report of Mr. Wicker-sham he was pardoned by the President, on May 19, 1912. P'urther, it is stated that the agency was denied a license to operate in Toronto, Canada, and in Quebec. On December 26, 1916, the memorandum states, one of the Burns operators was fined $300 for working In the Province of Ontario without a license.

In closing, It brands the operation of the agency as "unlawful and disreputable" and "such as to make it inadvisable to longer continue Its activities." Copies of the complain of the council were also served upon the Burns agency today. TO BOOST GOVERNOR'S PAY Wells' Bill Increases It From $10,000 to $20,000. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 31 Several of the Brooklyn legislators introduced bills yesterday. Assemblyman Frederick A. Wells presented five.

Three of them amend the Constitution of the State relative to the salaries of the legisla tors Governor and Lieutenant Gov ernor and Speaker of the Assembly. Wells would increase the salaries of the Assemblymen from $1,500 to those of the Senators from J1.500 to1 $3,500. The Speaker now receives the same compensation as an Assemblyman. Wells would boost it to $5,000. He also seeks to raise the Governor's salary from $10,000 to $20,000 and the Lieutenant Governor's compensation from $5,000 to $10,000 a year.

One Wells bill provides that all clerks of headquarters in every unit and arm of the military and naval service shall be officers or enlisted men in active service at the time of ap pointment, or shall have been hon orably discharged. Wells also pre sented in the Assembly Senator Law-son's bill to permit the boards of su pervisors in every county to anpoint emergency constables to preserve the peace, following more serious developments between this country and Ger many. Assemblyman Shiplacoff introduced a measure prohibiting the manufac ture, alteration or repair of collars, cuffs, shirtwaists or shirts made of cotton or linen in tenement houses. SPERRY'S GET TROPHY Awarded to Them at Aero Club Dinner. Elmer A.Sperry and Lawrence B.

Sperry, father and son, were honored at the annual dinner of the Aero Club of America, at the Waldorf-Astoria, last night, as having done more for the advancement) of aviation during the last twelve months than any othr Americans. In recognition of their services thev were presented with the Robert J.

The Invention for which the trophy was awarded last night is described as a "drift indicator," by which an aviator flying by compass day or night, or in a fog, can tell exactly how far out of his course he Is being blown by the wind, and can by a simple adjustment correct his course. The presentation was made by Alan It, Hawley, president of the club.

The banquet was marked with many patriotic demonstrations. Henry A. Wise Wood, to.istmnster, criticised the Secretary of tho Navy and the Secretary of War as the soft pedals of the Administration's orgtin; but whs openly rebuked amid cheers hy Former Ambassador' James J.

LIST OF FOUNDERS GIVEN OCT. James T. O'Neill Denies That He Is Afllliatcd With Followers of Frank J. Prial. With a blast of defiance to John H.

McCooey and an Invitation to all Democrats to throw off the yoke of his leadership, the new "Democratic Party of Brooklyn," through its spokesman and temporary chairman, Frank J. Prlal, announced its principles today and its intention of accomplishing the defeat of the McCooey candidates in the fall primary and nominating an independent ticket. The names of those back of the movement given out today reveal many other insurgents of prominence within Democratic ranks in addition to those previously disclosed. W. Walter Wheutley, George E.

Glenden-ning, William F. Connell and Jere miah O'Leary are some of those who appear on the list, Wheatley and Glendenning were both prominent In the "Rooster" Democracy the revolt staged by Thomas F. Magner three years ago. Wheatley has headed the anti-organization Democrats in the Eleventh A. D.

for some years past; Glendenning has been active in politics since the days of James Shevlin, with whom he was allied. Connell, like John A. Hennessy, was a follower of former Governor Sulzer and a member of his defunct American Party. He comes from the Third A. where he was associated with the late "Jim" Dunne In his anti-McKane tights.

O'Leary is a well-known civic association man in Bay Ridge and an anti-Woganite. Most of the others named on the list given out today are prominent in labor and civil service circles. Under the heading "The Democratic Party of Brooklyn to the Enrolled Democrats of Kings County," the proclamation issued by the new organization was as follows: Declaration of Principles of Demo-eratlc Party of Brooklyn. "This organization has been formed solely with the object of placing Kings County again in the Democratic column and thereby insuring the selection of Democrats at the coming election. "We believe that the continued defeats of the Democratic party in Kings County can be attributed to the methods emplayed by ihe county leader in designating candidates, and that, owing to the lack of proper leadership in this county 30,000 to 40,000 Democrats have been alienated from their party.

"Therefore, we invite all Democrats, not only those known as regulnr, but those who in the past have acted independently of the county organization, to enroll in the Democratic party of Brooklyn. "The principles of the Democratic party of Brooklyn are: "First. Genuine direct primaries, so that any enrolled Democrat may enter the primaries and seek the support of the enrolled voters of the party and that every candidate so entering shull be considered regular. "Second. We believe in the autonomy of Brooklyn, not only In the administration of the affairs of the city, but also in the administration of the affairs of the Democratic party.

"We purpose inviting candidates to enter the coming primaries In order that the Democrats of Brooklyn shall have an opportunity to express their choice for party nomintions, which is in line with the' spirit of the new primary law." The members of the committee on organization are Frank J. Prial, Michael E. Butler, Thomas E. "Wllmott, George J. S.

Secretary Lansing Turns Over Warrant for $25,000,000 to Minister Brun. FOtR RECEIPTS ARE SIGXED. "Virgin Islands" Will Be New Name Chosen by the Natives. Washington, March 31 The final act of more than fifty years' effort to bring the Danish West Indies under the American flag, was completed with formal ceremonies at the State Department today, when Danish Minister Brun was handed a treasury warrant for 125,000,000. The purchase price and wireless message were sent to the American and Danish at the Islands to lower the Danish flag and raise the Stars and Stripes.

At noon today the new possessions passed definitely and finally linder the authority of the Uirited States. "By giving you this warrant," Secretary Lansing said as he handed the paper to the minister, "I will save you the trouble of transporting forty-eight tons of gold. The value of this paper in coin would be equivalent to that weight," At 11 o'clock. Secretary McAdoo, at a formal gathering of State and Navy Department officials, handed to Secretary Lansing the Treasury warrant for $25,000,000. The Secretary of State in turn handed it to the Danish minister, who signed four certificates of receipt and four protocols of transfer, for the Setatc and Treasury Departments of this government, the Danish foreign office and the legation here.

Immediately thereafter the Navv wirelessed Commander Pollock, rank ing American naval officer at the Islands, commanding the Hancock, as follows: "You may receive the Islands in the name of the Government of the United States." At the same time the Danish minister wirelessed the Danish Governor to give over the Islands in the name of the King of Denmark. With the formal transfer, the Islands become, known as the Virgin Islands of the United States, a. designation chosen by the natives of the Islands and adopted by the United States Government. In all there are fifty islands, only three large enough to be of importance. St.

Thomas Is the most Important and has one of the finest harbors in the West Indies. The harbor will be transformed into strong naval base by the United States for the pro tection of the Panama Canal and for general military purposes. St. Croix and St. John are the other two large islands.

Rear Admiral Oliver, Chief of Naval Intelligence at the Navy Department, is en route to St. Thomas to assume the duties of Gov ernor, having been appointed by Sec retary Daniels. He will serve until a permanent government has been de termined upon by Congress. Local laws will be administered until Congress has acted. MISS LANE ENGAGED.
