If there were any Brooklyn National Guard officers who expected the presidential lightning of the Military Athletic League to hit them, and rumor says that there were some, they were disillusioned last night when It became known that a majority of the members of the League had decided during the day to elect Brigadier-General George Moore Smith, commanding the First Brigade, as president of the League.

This decision relieves tbe situation materially After the declination of the presidency oy Adjutant-General Henry last week, tho League seemed at a loss tor a candidate, and one of the chief supporters of Colonel Charles H. LUscomb, formerly of the Thirteenth Regiment, told an Eagle reporter that the chances all favored Colonel Lus-comb. That such a selection would antagonize the commander of the First Brigade there was no doubt, as It was known thai Just why Harkness purchased Dana's Island, Brooklyn is to be awakened religiously it the pastors of churches of all denominations, the Young Men's Christian Associate and the Brooklyn City Mission Society, working In co-operation with the Federation ot Churches, can bring It about. The unchurched, of which there are a vast number according to figures given by the Rev. Will-lam R.

Laidlaw, are to be visited, house to bouse, according to a plan which has worked successfully in other localities. Religious workers are alarmed at the absence ot growth in the membership ot the churches, as well as the increasing number, year by year, ot those who do not go to church. To bring the pastors together the following letter was sent out: October 17, 1905. Dear Brother Being appalled as we are with the facts concerning the increasing unchurched masses ot Brooklyn as recently furnished In the report of the Society of the Federation of Churches, the pastors of the Advisory Board of the Young Men's Christian Association have deemed it expedient to Invite Dr. Walter Laidlaw to address a meeting of the clergy of Brooklyn at the Central Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, 502 Fulton street, on Tuesday, October 24.

You are cordially Invited to be present and German Day will be celebrated by the two hundred branches constituting the United German Societies of New York, at Terrace Garden, Manhattan, next Sunday.

Politics In the guise of municipal ownership was injected into the meeting of the Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon, resulting in a war of words between several of the members, some on the Democratic and others on the Republican side. Alderman "Little Tim" Sullivan charged Alderman Meyers, Republican, with opposing anything Tammony Hall might propose tor the public good, in the hope of establishing for himself a reputation as fighting Tammany. The trouble arose over a resolution called up by Alderman Towmen, which authorized Commissioner of Bridges Best to contract tor wiring and lighting the Williamsburg Eridge without public letting.

He proposed that the contract be awarded to the Edison Company, which already has a lot of wiring done on the bridge, and which company, according to the commissioner, would save the city about $1,200. The wiring was to be done in connection with the lighting plant, which was proposed by Street Commissioner Woodbury, and which will be the second step la municipal ownership since the term of oilice of Mayor McClellan. As soon as the resolution was called up, Alderman Meyers, Republican, interposed an objection. "This letting ot public contracts without Advertising and competitive bids is a dangerous business," he said. "Beside, the heads Of departments are becoming entirely too reckless In spending the city's money without having permission granted to them through the regular channels.

1 move that this resolution be laid over and that it be required to go to the Board of Estimate to secure sanction, or else that the better course of competitive bids be adopted." Alderman Meyers had hardly settled him-elf in his chair before Alderman McCall, chairman of the finance committee, and Tammany leader in the board, was on his leet. "I am surprised at the statement made ty the gentleman to my left," (Alderman Meyers), he said. "This proposition would save the city something In the neighborhood of J1.600 a year. In his own narrow way, he thinks it would be a good thing to op- pose this measure just at election time. He has often manifested himself to be a 'narrow-minded' citizen.

He has interposed objections to more things for the good of the City of New York than any other Alderman in this chamber. I don't see anything unusual in granting the request of the bridge commissioner, who is known to be an honorable man and an honest public official, whose record is unassailable." "I may be narrow, but I must be shown what Is going to be done with the money before I vote," retorted Mr. Meyers. wnt to Indorse every word Alderman McCall has said about Alderman Meyers Thus spoke "Little Tim" Sullivan. "He has long been a discordant, note in the deliberations of the Board of Aldermen.

He is of that class of citizens who are anxious and filling to oppose anything that is proposed by Tammany Hall for the good of the people What he wants Is to establish a reputation tor fighting Tammany. If that Is true, he can get the reputation, and real easily. We give him ail the fighting he wants." President Fornes was busy with the gavel, Jn the meantime, trying to bring the Alder-teen to order. Seven, 1 of them were on their feet trying to secure recognition. "I want to make a statement about this matter," shouted the president, "and I will not recognize any man on the floor until the statement Is made." He rapped his gavel continually until partial quiet prevailed.

Then ho said: "Peak as a member of the Board of Estimate. This EdlBon plant la already there. We are told it would cost in the neighborhood of $10,000 to tear out that plant and have some other company do the work. The Gambler The colored man said that Mr. Harkness bad told him he would pull down ail the old buildings except the house, and erect a new stable and garage, that he would remodel the house duriug the coming winter and have it ready to live In neat summer.

A. to describe the methods employed to reach the unchurched. Dr. Laidlaw gave statistics of the Young Men's Christian Association I yesterday, at noon, such a company of ministers sb has never before been seen at one time In Brooklyn, taking Into consideration the number of denominations represented. The letter was sent out from the list of ministers furnished by the Eagle Almanac.

Those who responded and sat down to luncheon were the following: Baptist The Rev. Dr. Robert MacDonald, pastor of the Washington Avenue Church; the Rev. Dr. Harry Pethic, of Trinity Church; which tbe ministers looked upon as alarming regarding tbe number of tbe unchurched he built during his father's lifetime, this part of the Island not being affected by the ale.

The Island generally Is being much beautified, new walks and drives being added and some of the old ones sodded over. To Brooklyn this sale is of great Interest, for It was the country pluce of -Mr. and Mrs. Harold Tredway White, though they never actually lived there. Mrs.

White was Miss Ruth Underhlll, the individuals are too staunch supporters of the organization to be thus swayed. It was announced yesterday also that on account of a change in the dates for tbe use of Madison Square Garden the week of April 23 might be obtained for the tournament. This date is much earlier than last year which was the week beginning May 8. Much of the comment among the officers of the Thirteenth Regiment at the headquarters meeting last night was about the announcement In the Eagle of the changing of First Lieutenant Frank Dean from Company A to Company which was unexpected by nearly every officer in the command. The nominating committee has unanimously decided on him and will soon report to the full company, Colonel Austen thinks this change of Lieutenant Dean means the end of the troubles of Company A and that there is no reason why Captain James W.

Stewart should resign as the majority of the company ished' him to do some weeks ago. In some quarters the idea prevails that the men objected to Stewart because they wished to have Dean, and now that the latter is impossible they will accept Captain Stewart without further grumbling. If this should prove to be true, the situation would be happily relieved, as Lieuteilant Dean has got into one of the best compiles in the regiment and has one ot the most enterprising and engaging young captains In the National Guard. and to show that tbe church was really losing ground. He described the methods the Rev.

While he was speaking. Alderman Dowllng requested him to answer a question. "I don't care to answer any of his questions," shouted the Brooklyn Alderman in reply. "He doesn't understand the courtesy that is due from one brother Alderman to another. I decline to submit to Lis ruffianly tactics," and Mr.

Downey thumped his desk with great vigor. More than halt a dozen Aldermen were on their feet trying to secure recognition. Pres- ldent Fornes had his gavel going like a rlp-haminer, but seemingly without avail. Finally he shouted: "Any Alderman who falls to show the proper respect for the authority of the chair 1U certainly not be recognized. I demand that the gentlemen take their seats." Then Alderman Kenney was recognized.

He wanted the resolution adopted, as It would save the taxpayers money, he said. Aldernum Meyers Insisted on a motion to lay over for further investigation. It was lost. lAlderman Goodman, leader ot the Republican forces, gained recognition. "Mr.

President," he said, "this atack on ialderman Meyers is unjust and ungentle-manly. The attack is ungentlemanly. I am In favor of that plant, but I am sorely tempted to vote against the resolution on account of the attack which has been made On Aldermau Meyers." He then asked if the resolution was adopted at the meeting to-day how long it would be before the lighting plant could be operated. President Fornes replied that it would probably be two or three weeks The resolution was finally put. When it' came Alderman Dowling's turn to vote he rose to explain.

"Mr. President," he began, "Alderman Downey, who has been endorsed by the Municipal Ownership people, and who Is a candidate on their ticket, Is opposing the very thing for which they stand. I submit that Ills position is inconsistent, and that all opposition to this measure should be withdrawn, especially by him."

Mrs. Along with the reduction of headways on the Culver line. West End line and tbe Bay Ridge line, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to-day Inaugurated a new and quicker winter service to Coney Island. In the future all the regular West End trains will run as far as Ulmer Park only, and what proportionately small amount of patronage there is between I'lmer Park and Coney Island will he handled by the three trolley Hits that reach Coney Inland by the way of Ulmer Park, Bath avenue and Eighty-sixth street. This trolley service between Ulmer Park and Coney Island Is not only more frcmient but gives the added advantage of carrying all passengers along almost all of Surf avenue, as far as Eighth street instead of having the terminal at the West End as here tpfore, A quicker route by six minutes to Coney Island from New York than the old West End way has been arranged by attaching a car, or ns many cars as are necessary, to all Ulmer Park trains and detaching them at Fifty-eighth street, running from there to Coney Island over the Sea Beach line, which will make the following stops between Sixty-second streot and Coney Island: Eighteenth avenue.

Twenty-second avenue. Avenue and Avenue V. In addition to this, as previously announced, the Revcniy-fourth strcrt short line has been discontinued during the non-rush hours, but during the rush hours this service has been extended to Bath Beach, so that with the Bath Beach short line and tho regular Ulmer Park truliiB, patrons of the West End line, as far as Bath Beach, are given the advantages of a seven and a half minute headway during the rush hours and a reduction of a headway from twenty to fifteen minutes as far as Ulmer Park during the non-rush hours. The trains on the new Sea Bench service will carry the same markers as the Coney Island express trains carried In tho summer, that Is, orango and green, east bound, Fifty-eighth street to Coney Island: westbound, Sea Beach trains will carry white and green markers when coupled to West End trains and orange and green markers when operated independently. Tlie Balh Reach local trains will carry orange and red markers, while the regular Went End Ulmer Park trains will carry green and white markers.
