(Belfast papers please copy.) BROOKLYN ALDERMEN BLOCK TAMMANY PLAN Refuse to Stand for Jamming Through the Building Code. KENNEALLY'S NEW SCHEME. Proposes Amendments to Present Code, but Brooklyn Men Want to See Them. The Tammany interests are strongly considering the advisability of abandoning the plan to jam the proposed building code through the Board of Aldermen. In the first place it is doubtful if the necessary 40 votes could be secured, and in the second place the strong opposition of the cinder concrete interests and the doubtful attitude of the Mayor is given as another reason.

Chairman Kenneally, after a conference, however, has developed a new plan to revise the present code with a series of new amendments, to be presented one at a time, by which he hopes to overcome the opposition in the board and at the same time obtain the approval of the Mayor. This plan will be presented to the bufiding committee of the Board of Aldermen at a special meeting, which has been called for to-morrow. The indications, however, are that the majority members of the committee will refuse to consent to this latest Tammany plan, which is nothing more or less than a bold subterfuge to get into the present building code all the objectionable features of the proposed code and at the same time hoodwink the Mayor. Kenneally has been asked by his associates on the committee to furnish them with a he copy has of met the this proposed request with amendments, the reply but that he could not afford to pay for the printing of the amendments out of his own pocket. Brooklyn Aldermen Hold Up Tammany Plan.

Five Brooklyn aldermen, Messrs. ningham, Carberry, Campbell, Grimm and Gaynor, and Alderman Fink of Richmond, have proved the stumbling block to Tammany's plan to jam the building code through the board. They constitute a majority of the building committee and they have consistently opposed all of Kenneally's plans to force A favorable report by the committee. Attempts to whip the Brooklyn men into line who are Democrats by personal appeals on the part of Tammany to John H. McCooey, the Democratic county leader, have been in vain.

The Brooklyn men have been abiding the instructions of their respective district leaders and in each instance they were told to use their own judgment. There is much speculation as to the character of the amendments which Kenneally will present to the building committee to-morrow. He has boldly explained to some of his intimates that it is plan to have the committee report favorably on the amendments. Then he will take them to the Moyor, impressing upon him that the amendments represent the consensus of opinion among the members of the committee, and in that way he hopes to obtain the approval of the Mayor. If the approval is forthcoming the amendments will then be presented for the action of the full board.

The five Brooklynites and the Richmond aldermen will serve notice on Kenneally at the meeting to-morrow that. they will not consent to a vote on these amendments until they have been furnished with a copy of each and are given at least a week to study them. The Brooklyn men are not only exercised over the Tammany plan to give the hollow tile interests a monopoly of fireproofing industry in New York, but they claim that some of the new features in the proposed cost will increase cost of construction of houses in Brooklyn from $800 to $1,000. Encouraged by the Mayor's attitude, the allied concrete Interests, which are grossly discriminated against in the proposed code, will insist that the Board of Aldermen make comparative tests of fireproofing materials, which, they say, is the only fair way to determine the durability of hollow tile, as compared with cinder concrete. The cinder concrete interests have volunteered to give $15,000 SO the tests will not cost the city A dollar.

If the aldermen persist in their refusal, the allied concrete interests declare, it will be because the hollow tile trust has resorted to powerful influence to prevent a test from being held. BERNHARDT SAILS FOR FRANCE Actress Says She Will Return for a Tour in 1915. Sarah Bernhardt, just returned from a triumphant of the United States, sailed for France this morning on the French line steamship La Lorraine, ing her company with her. Notwithstanding the dinner given in her honor last night at the Hotel Marie Antoinette by her manager, W. F.

Mme. Bernhardt said that she had alliked America and that her love ways for this country was constantly growing, adding that she would probably return for another tour in 1915. STRIKEBREAKERS STONED.

George Clay Severely Injured in the Melee. The strikebreakers employed by the Davidson Pump Works 43-45 Keap street to take the place the seventy of machinists who went on a strike on May 1, because they were refused an additional increase in salary and less working hours, were stoned by the latter last night as they were leaving the building. During the clash between the two factions George Clay of 150 Walworth street, clerk employed by the company, was struck on the head and sustained a severe wound. Patrolman Hoffman of the Clymer street station was attracted by the commotion, and when the strikers saw him coming they dispersed. He arrested George Owens of 864 Metropolitan avenue, but the latter denied that he was one of the assailants.

Magistrate Dodd held him for further examination. ACCUSED OF BURGLARY. Janitor Says He Caught the Two Men "With the Goods."

POST OFFICE IS HOT AFTER WILEY ASSAILANT Will Make It Warm for "Frederick W. Hooper" If He Is Caught. LIBEL SUIT IS THREATENED. Representative of Alleged Advertisers Protective Association Attacks Pure Food Report. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street.

Washington, D. June 22-Post Office authorities have been engaged for several weeks attempt to locate the peoties, ple who are engaged in a new attack on Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government's pure food expert. The attack is being made in the name of an alleged organization called the Advertisers Protective Association.

The Post Office is satisfled that there is 1p reality np such organization, and that the name of Frederick W. Hooper, which 1s signed to circulars sent out, is a fotitious one. The attacks on Wiley have all been made through printed matter mailed at the Manhattan Post Office. The only address of the association is Look Box 2124 at that office. A great deal of mail has been received there, but all of it has been returned to the senders when they could be located marked "Fictitious." The man who calls himself Hooper will be arrested if the Post Office Inspectors can succeed in makIng a complete identification.

They believe that they know who he is and think he is a man who has been identified with previous attacks on Wiley. The circulars sent out by him are signed with his name reproduced in fao-simile. Hand-writing experts who have examined it say that it 1s. identical with letters known to have been written by the man under suspicion. More Stringent Provisions for Patent Medicines.

Assailants of the Pure Food law and of Dr. Wiley need expect no encouragement from the government, for President Taft has just sent or message to Congress urging the enactment of more stringent provisions regarding the labeling of patent medicines. A bill is already in the House providing for that very thing. Three circulars have been sent out by the "Advertisers Protective Association." The first was dated May 25, and was addressed "To the Press." It was printed in good style, two colors of ink being He considers this ciroular to be libelous, used, and it bitterly a assailed Dr. Wiley.

inasmuch as it plainly insinuates that he had improper motives in making 8 campaign against certain drug and food preparations. The circular declares that the "association" represents organizations that have a total capital stock of $400,000, and they spend $100,000 in advertising their preparations. Not 8 single name of any man or company except that of Hooper is given, however, and there is no address except that of the Post Office box. This circular was followed few days later by a brief printed letter which was sent broadcast to drug concerns, manufacturers of prepared foods and dealers in such articles. With it was inclosed the original circular, and all manufacturers and dealers were urged to write to the publications in which they advertise and put pressure on them to join in the crusade against Wiley.

On June 7 came another circular, addressed to the newspapers. This one did acouse Wiley of improper motives, but made its attack on the theory that he was a dangerous fanatio. It 18 estimated that up to date the backerg of this systematic attack have spent about on printing and postage. Dr. Wiley Says Attack Is a Boomerang.

Dr. Wiley said to-day: "'There is, of course, no such organization as the Advertisers Protective Association. We believe that we know who Hooper is. He is undoubtedly backed by money furnished by the people whose business is interfered with by the proper enforcement of the Pure Food and Drug act, but no man or company dares to allow his name to be associated with him. The first circular issued against me furnishes ground for criminal prosecution.

I want to say, however, that this attack has done more to help the cause in which we are engaged than one thing up to the present time. Letters which I received, and newspaper comments which have been made upon show that it is universally resented, and is having exactly the opposite effect that its promoters intended." It is not believed that any of the liquor distilling companies are concerned in the movement, because under the they present regulations concerning whisky 110 complaint. But certain drug interests and food concerns whose product does not measure up the standards required by the law are believed to be quietly furnishing the money. GREENPOINT MEN GRATEFUL.

Y. DELANO IS THE MAN WHO HAS A. D. T. OPTIONS Professional Detrolt Promoter Has Offered the Company to Western Union.

HAS UNTIL OCTOBER TO SELL. Is Trying to Interest Various Groups of Capitalists- -American Concern Unafraid. The offer of $80,000 for capital stock and franchise rights of the American District Telegraph Company of Brooklyn, as reported exclusively in The Eagle yesterday, was made by F. M. Delano, a Detroit promoter.

Mr. Delano WAs described yesterday by Henry W. K11- bourne, secretary of the local company, as one who had established more than fifty telephone companies in the West, in South America and in the West Indies. It became, positively known to-day that Mr. Delano had made a definite offer for the sale of the company to the Western Union Telegraph Company.

The Western Union for years has endeavored to obtain control of the local company. It has always desired to extend the operations of the American District Telegraph Company of New Jersey, its big subsidiary, to Brooklyn, and at one time it engaged the local T. Company in a lawsuit to defend exclusive right to use the tiDe name "American District Telegraph" in Brooklyn. The local company succeeded in establishing its prior claim to the name and the Western Union was forced to adopt another designation. At the offices of the Western Union in Manhattan all knowledge of the identity of F.

M. Delano was disclaimed. It was admitted, however, that an offer had been made for the sale of the Brooklyn company to the Western Union, but that the latter, thus far at least, had not looked into the matter. F. H.

Bethel, vice president of the New York Telephone Company, said that his company was not interested and that he bad no idea as to who had made the offer for the stock of the Brooklyn company. He doubted whether its franchise ered the telephone business. No information could be obtained at the office of President Vail of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the parent company of both the New York Telephone and the Western Union companies. "We are not in the least worried," said President Vail's secretary this morning. "Many attempts in the past have been made by the independents to enter the local feld and all have failed.

If the Brooklyn company really has 8 franchise as broad and comprehensive as they say it is, it seems to me that they could get more than $80,000 for It." From all that could be gathered to-day it would appear that Mr. Delano 1s professional promoter and that he has made tentative offers to various groups of capitalists for the disposal of the franchise of the local company. The options on the stock do not expire until October of this year, and by that time he may have succeeded in interesting someone in the possibilities of the local field as vouchsafed by the terms of the Brooklyn company's franchise. The shares of the stock of the A. D.

T. Company of Brooklyn, which were offered at auction yesterday afternoon, were bid in by the original owner. DIX IS IN A QUANDARY Governor Does Not Know What to Do in Case of Gresser. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, June 22-Former Sheriff bert S. Harvey of Queens came to Albany afternoon to intercede in beyesterday half of Borough President Lawrence Gresser, who may be removed by Governor Dix in compliance with the recommendations of Commissioner Samuel Ordway, made last Friday.

Gresser's application for a hearing has not yet been acted upon by the Governor and Harvey's visit was taken to mean that the GresserHarvey combination is growing anxious the Governor act without giving Gresser another opportunity to defend himself. Harvey was accompanied by District Attorney Fred G. De Witt of Queens County. It is reported that Harvey said some very flattering things about Gresser to the Governor. It is known that the Governor is in a quandary as to what to do in the Gresser case.

Commissioner Ordway, who was the official state prober of the Gresser administration, was appointed by Governor Hughes. Gresser's opponents assert that Ordway's report was a worse blow than even Borough President Haffen of the Bronx received, and that Hughes did not hesitate to remove Haffen. They say that Hughes would surely remove Gresser and that Governor Dix realizes this. But, on the other hand, Mayor Gaynor is believed to be interceding in Gregser's behalf, and it would not surprise politicians to And that the Mayor 18 making a most aggressive fight for Gregser's retention in office, and appealing to Governor Dix, with whom he is on friendly terms, to let the Queens executive off with a reprimand. There is some talk of a successor to Gresser, but the Queens County members of the legislature do not encourage it.

The Gresser-Harvey combination has two representatives in the Assembly, Huber and Kennedy. These men are working to keep Gresser in office. Senator Denis J. Harte, the Queens County Senator, is friendly to former Borough President Cassidy, but 1s keeping his off the present situation. Harte himself is being boomed for Gresser's place, but he will not discuss the matter.
