QUEENS BOROUGH AND LONG ISLAND CAN CARRIERS GO FREE ON QUEENS STREET CARS? U. S. Postal Department Has Made an Offer to the N. Y. Q.

C. R. R. COMPANY REFUSES TO ACCEPT Says That Lump Sum Offered Is Too Small--Service Would Quicken Deliveries. Since the Queens County letter carriers ing on the lines of the Brooklyn have been denied the privilege of travel-! Transit Company free, some of those living in Brooklyn have been emulating Weston in the matter of pedestrian stunts.

The Brooklyn Postmaster made a contract with the Brooklyn Railroad Companies whereby the mail carriers of that borough, while in uniform, ride free 011 all car lines. Some time ago the railroad officials learned that carriers were riding over the lines free to their postoffices in Queens. They sent inspectors out over the lines and the latter saw carriers with Long Island City, Jamaica and Flushing number plates in their hats riding free on the company's cars, An order was issued promptly to all conductors to demand full fare from such riders. The United States Government pays a lump sum annually the Brooklyn carriers, but no arrangement has been entered into between the Government and New York and Queens County Railroad and the carriers are all given, at the beginning of the week, an allowance for cars fares. It is said that an offer made to the New York and Queens County Company of an amount about 50 per cent.

in excess of the total now paid for fareg by the Queens County postmasters, but the company refused the offer and asked double the amount named by the Government. This was refused and nothing was done. It Is Said Government Could Exercise Its Authority. The Government has absolute authori'y over the steam railroads in the matter of carrying mails and employes in charge of them, and fixes its own rates. It is said that it could exercise equal authority over street railroads if it were deemed for the best interests of the service.

The York and Queens County Railroad employes allege that if the carriers were allowed to ride free they would use the cars much more freely than they do now, when they are limited in their allowance as to fares. Trolley Riding Would Improve Service. The postmasters say that while this would undoubtedly be the case, the postal service would be greatly benefited thereLy. As it is now, a carrier over long routes will wait for cars entitling him to the most transfers. He will make his nickel go as far as possible.

In this way on some of the routes half an hour to an hour is lost daily. If the carrier could jump on any passing car going in any direction he would save lots of distance and time, and the patrons would get their mail earlier, and it might be possible to maintain another delivery. Thus, it is said the saving of car fare is at sacrifice of the efficiency of the service. The Rockaways are served mainly from Far Rockaway. Postmaster Warren B.

Ashmead of Jamaica says he has taken the matter 11p gain with the postal department and hopes for success. CORONER'S INQUEST. Many Cases Investigated by Queens Jury Yesterday.

1911. GAYNOR SAYS HE'LL NOT BE CANDIDATE AGAIN Talks of the Transit Situation in Queens County and Other Matters. OTHER PROMINENT GUESTS. City Officials Discuss Needs of Borough and Promise Rapid Progress. With Mayor Gaynor as its guest of honor, flanked by two of the most tant commissioners in his administratiou and with county and borough officials at their side and more than one hundred and fifty of the men present who make the commercial affairs of the First Ward move ahead, the Island Business Men's Association last night held, one of the most important affairs in its history.

The Mayor, who said that he came to Long Island City at considerable sacrifice, was in his best form. He said that he came because he knew he was among his friends. He made one of the longest talks that he has made for a long time, discussing the past administrations in the borough, paying a compliment to former Borough President Gresser, whom he called an honest German, and paying a high compliment to Borough President Connolly, whom he predicted would live up to his job. He talked at length of transit and particularly the Steinway tunnel and his plans for getting it open. As this association has worked for the opening of this important link in the subway system more than for any other line of transit, his talk was very highly appreciated by the members.

In the course of Mayor Gaynor's speech he said: never heard anything from the Boards of Trade about my abolishing the tolls on the Queensboro Bridge, nor from the teamsters association, nor from any of the people. I suppose the whole lot of them would just as lief vote against us tomorrow. I am satisfied if they are. It is all the same to me. Nobody will ever have the chance to vote for me again." Calvin Tomkins, Docks, discussed what Commissioner.

for Long Island City in the comprehensive system of dock development that he has outlined for city, and told of the possibilities of the Nott avenue terminal, which this association originated and has carried almost to successful ending. Bridge Commissioner Arthur J. O'Keeffe told of his plans for the filling in of the marsh land under the Queensboro Bridge, a proposition that was started by this association. Borough President Connolly gave an interesting talk, and, next to the Mayor, he received the biggest greeting at the hands of the association members and guests. The Borough President has already felt the support of the Long Island to him, and he gave the members thanks City men in matters that he have come up for what they had done.

Commissioner Tomkins Inspects Docks of Borough. Early in the afternoon Commissioner Tomkins came to the Borough Hall in Long Island City and was met by Borough President Connolly, Henry W. Shar key, chairman of the dock and railroad committee of the association, and other representative citizens. Automobiles were taken and a trip made to points along the Queens waterfront. After this trip the party returned to the Borough President's office, where some of the plans of the commissioner were examined.

Later they adjourned to the Court Square Assembly Rooms, where the meeting and dinner was held. The arrangements were made by a committee headed by John L. Klages, Max Steiner and George J. Ryan, At the guest table were, besides the Mayor, John F. Galvin, the toastmaster; Mr.

Klages, Mr. Steiner, Commissioner Tomkins, District Attorney -elect Mathew J. Smith, Park Commissioner Eliot, Brige Commissioner O'Keefe, County Judge Burt J. Humphrey and Deputy Water Commissioner M. P.

Walsh. Mayor Comes Late. Mayor Gaynor did not arrive until the dinner was practically over. He was given lively reception, as he was shown to his seat beside the toastmaster by a committee headed by Mr. Klages and Mr.

Ryan. He talked with Mr. Galvin and Commissioner 0'Keeffe and others until the dinner was ended. As he came into the hall, he saw Jacob Haubiel of the Fountain House at Flushing, who is an old friend, and expressing a desire to talk with him, Mr. Haubiel left his place at one end of the room and had a pleasant chat with the Mayor.

The Mayor was the first speaker, and he talked for over half an hour. He was given the most respectful attention and applause was frequent. He did not leave until after the dinner was over and a6 he made his way out of the hall he was greeted enthusiastically. Commissioner Tomkins said that the commerce which will come to New York City in the future demands the municipalization of the waterfront. This has been done largely in Manhattan.

It has been started in Brooklyn, and in the Jamaica Bay, Nott avenue terminal and Flushing Bay improvement in Queens Borough. The Commissioner then described the terminal which is to be erected at this point, saying that it was to be taken over by a company, the tentative organization of which has already been undertaken by the Long Island City Business Men's Association. "The Legislature has now given us the power to go ahead with the plans for the improvement of the declared Commissioner Tomkins. "We have the money to do the work. The Dock Department has prepared the plans.

What we want now is intelligent criticism of these plans as they are presented to the Board of Estimate, and then we want to For Thanksgiving Order a Special Pin-Cask (5 gallons) of Bass Ale for family use on draught at home, from any department store, dealer or jobber.

Our success is dependent upon public opinion such as can be expressed by associations of your character." 0'Keeffe Tells of Plans for Queens. Bridge Commissioner O'Keeffe said that the suggestion had come from the Long Island City Business Men's Association that the excavations from the tunnels 1 Manhattan ought to be used for filling in the meadows under the Queensboro Bridge.

"As a result of that suggestion I took the matter up with the Bradley Company, which has the tunnel contract," said the Commissioner, "and I have an agreement with them by which they propose that they will build a dock at the pierline of the bridge at a cost of $30,000 at their own expense. They will put in Alling which at the lowest estimate of the Dock Department would cost $130,000, on condition that they might have the use of the dock for ten years. Then they will turn the dock back to the city. The rental of this space for the ten years will be only $35,000. For this the city will get at least a return of about $130,000.

If this plan is carried out I propose to turn the land after it is filled up back to the Commissioner of Parks for a publie playground." The members of the association applauded this proposition, which had its inception in their association, vigorously. Connolly Pays Tribute to Mayor Gaynor. "The success of the Borough of Queens in the future depends more upon the activity of the Mayor and his two commi3sioners, who are here with us tonight, more than upon other city said Borough President Connolly when introduced. "It has been my privilege to consult with Mayor Gaynor since I have taken office and I have found that he has a keen interest everything pertaining to Queens; that knows the borough most thoroughly and that he ready to help us in every way he can. We must depend upon him to open the Steinway tunnel for us and we should back him up in his efforts." President Connolly then said that Long Island City was fast becoming the manu-) facturing center of Queens and that it would be assisted by the opening of the Steinway tunnel and the improvement of the bridge.

He said that it well enough for him to go to the Mayor and the Board of Estimate and ask for things, but he would be more successful if he was backed up by the associations of the borough. Committees of this associetion had come to him soon after he took office, and they had been of material assistance to him. He wanted the assistance of all civic associations and he was not afraid to have them call at the Borough Hall. He would try to work with them in their efforts to get what was beneficial to their districts. County Judge Humphrey congratulated the association upon having such distinguished guests and upon the progress and work of the association.

Park Commissioner Eliot said that he had not been able to do much thus far, but he proposed to develop the beauties of Forest Park, the second largest park in the city. He also told of the splendid parkway which would be made of the Queens Boulevard and the development of a parkway along the old Brooklyn Aqueduct. He also said that his plans provided for a parkway along the northern shore of the borough. ARCANUMITES MEET. Joint Meeting Held at Jamaica Last Night.

Royal Arcanumites from all sections of Queens Borough attended the joint meeting and group initiation at St. Mary's Lyceum, Jamaica, last night.

Considerable excitement was created in Far Rockaway yesterday afternoon when another child, a 5-year-old girl, was bitten by a dog, as she was on her way to St.

Mary Star of the Sea Academy shortly after the noon hour. Memories of the rampage of the mad dog that seriously bit three persons late day night a and was after 8 sevenhour chase early Sunday morning by policemen of the Far Rockaway station, were still fresh in the minds of parents, and children were kept close until the Health doctors reported that the dog had been caught by the police and when examined had been found not to have hydrophobia. The victim this time was Ethel Adrian, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George M.

Adrian of Clarke avenue and Grove street, Far Rockaway, and she was bitten in two places on the calf of the right leg. The girl was removed to St. Joseph's Hospital and attended by Dr. S. B.

Thomas. The dog that did the biting this time was caught a short time afterward and confined in the police station. Doctors of the Health Department examined the animal and pronounced it free of any symptoms of hydrophobia. The canine was a crossbreed between a foxterrier and bull, and proved to be only a pup. The other three victims of the Saturday night rampage of the rabid collie are still receiving the Pasteur treatment at St.

Joseph's Hospital and are doing nicely. PARADE ON SATURDAY. Freeport Firemen Arrange for Annual Event. Freeport, L. November 24-The annual parade and review of the Freeport Fire Department will be held on Saturevening.

POLITICAL PAR PARAGRAPHS FROM NASSAU COUNTY The outcome of the taxpayers suit brought by George M. Hewlett against the Board of Supervisors, the County Controller and the County Treasurer is awaited with interest.

The matter will be determined at the December term of the Supreme Court, The resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors provided for construction and repair of roads 1tt the county, and contemplated a bond issue to the amount of $566,000. The action of John Lyon, the Controller, is causing considerable comment, in view of the fact that he has filed an answer admitting the allegations in the plaintiff's bill of complaint. The Supervisors ars determined to raise the money for the roads and are making a vigorous defense to the action. At the last meeting of the school directors of the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay the usual programme was enacted. A vote was taken and the result was a deadlock.

Dr. James S. Cooley, the present incumbent of the office of School Commissioner of Nassau County, is a candidate for the office of School Superintendent of the two towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay. Dr. Cooley is nominally a Republican, and the four school directors are evenly divided politically, the result that there is it deadlock.

There is considerable sentiment in the two towns in favor of Dr. Cooley, and the feeling is generally a a a a a a a AGED WOMAN INJURED. Mrs. Hill, Mother of Brooklynite, Breaks Arm, Riverhead, L. November 24-Mrs.

SORRY FOR POOR PARENTS Justice Hoyt in Jamaica Court Says City Should Aid Differently. Justice Franklin Hoyt, In the Jamaica Children's Court. yesterday, delivered himself as being in favor of some law whereby a certain amount of money could be paid to worthy poor parents for the care and maintenance of their children, instead of having the little ones committed to institutions where they are away from their people.

The expense to the city would greater, the judge said, and both parents and children would be happier if such a an arrangement was in effect. The case of Mrs. Mary Phillippe of 72 Summerfield street, Evergreen, who asked that two of her four children be sent to some home because her husband is dead and she can earn but little to support a a the four youngsters, caused Justice Hoyt to speak as he did. The two children, the mother asked the' court to send to an institution are Conrad, 11 years old, and another younger boy. The woman said that a week ago her sister, Mrs.

Seyerlein, who is in practically the same predicament as herself, had two of her sons sent by the court to the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School, and Mrs. Phillippe asked that her two boys be sent to the same institution SO the cousins could be together. Mrs. Phillippe declared that Conrad was once sent to St. Malachy's Home, at Rockaway Beach, but that he worried so about his mother and was Su anxious to see her that he ran away.

Conrad, the mother said, is a good boy, and she has no desire to have him sent to a home through any fault of his, but simply because she can no longer support him. Justice Hoyt told Mrs. Phillippe that if she could manage to care for Conrad for two weeks longer he would make a personal investigation of the case and see what can be done to help her. Nicholas Ferraro, 15 years old, the Jamaica boy who was charged with having stabbed and killed Frederick Felton, 17 years old, also of Jamaica, last summer, was arraigned again in the Children's Court and the case was adjourned for one week. BELMONT EMPLOYE IN COURT.

Kerslake Defends Action for NonSupport a at Lindenhurst. Lindenhurst, L. November 24-William Kerslake, a horseshoer employed by August Belmont in the later's North Babylon estate, and who is the defendant in an action for non-support, brought by his wife, stated for the beneft of Justice Irmish, before whom the action was tried, yesterday, the difference between being "drunk" and being intoxicated. "When you are drunk, Judge," he said, "you are down and out. When you are just intoxicated, you feel good." An effort was made by the complainant's attorney, Mr.

Hoff, to show that Kerslake had come home while under the influence of liquor, and had abused his wife. Mrs. Kerslake admitted having left her husband and that she went to live in 173 Wyckoff street, Brooklyn. Attorney Leroy M. Young, who represented Kerslake, endeavored to prove that Kerslake had refused to support his wife because she had been living with another man.

Mrs. Emma Winkle of 173 Wyckoff street testified that Mrs. Kerslake had rented the top flat of her home, representing herself as being a widow. She identified a picture of Henry W. Lange, once of Babylon, and who some time ago got into trouble with his creditors, as that of a man who came to the house nearly every day.

She said that Lange's visits ended after his wife visited the place. William Lamly, a bartender, who testified that he met Kerslake in his official capacity, said that Kerslake wasn't the "most pleasant company when under the influence." Lamly also testified to a conversation with Kerslake after the latter's arrest. Kerslake said, he claimed, that August Belmont promised to "back him up." but urged him to be careful. Kerslake testified that he was willing to support his three children, but not his wife. The case was postponed until the afternoon of December 7.

Roslyn, L. November 24-The annual food sale given by members of the parish societies of Trinity parish was unusually attractive and successful. A new feature, the Dutch garden, was planned and managed by Mrs. Clifton Brewer and Mrs. Harry Hogins, assisted by the probationers of the Girls Friendly Society.

In the afternoon there were costume poses, representing the legend of "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe," and various well-known advertisements. The evening entertainment was a series of tableaus, posed by Miss Ruth Eastman, those taking part being members of the G. F. S. The first number on the gramme was "The Bachelor's Reverie." The entertainment closed with singing by the Girls Friendly Society.

The proceeds will be used for the Christmas tree fund. The activity of the various clubs in this parish, co-operating with the rector, has brought about good results, which show in an increased attendance in the Sunday school and a larger church membership. At the recent confirmation, Bishop Burgess made an unexpected and unusual ad-' dress, calling attention to the evidences of the work done by the Rev. Mr. Brewer since he became rector, about three years ago.

It is evidenced in a sustained and active life in the various organizations, and in the establishment of a mission service on the Roslyn, Highlands. In a most trenchant he enjoined the parish to co-operate with true Christian sustaining their rector, who was working so heartily for the individual and general good of the parish. He said that, instead of harassing personal appeals for financial help, such methods as the various entertainments were given, which required the personal service and interest of a large number. The address was an unexpected tribute to the rector and those who assisted in his work. MANY CHURCHGOERS.

Religious Census at Freeport Shows Unexpected Results. Freeport, L. November 24-The religious census of the village, recently taken by 125 volunteers under the auspices of all the churches, shows interesting results. The workers report that their experiences in the visitations have been unexpectedly pleasant. The results also indicate that the spirit of unity and good will among the churches and people has been distinctly strengthened, mutual regard increased and helpful co made easier.

Many speculated on the population of people in Freeport, and the workers desire to satisfy the minds of all reporting that Freeport ranks as a community of churchgoers unsurpassed by any other village in New York State. Up to the present time the cards returned show that 5,200 of the people of Freeport are churchgoers, and the estimated population of the village is less than 6,000. Nor does the report cover all the church attendants, as at many homes visited residents were either away or out for an indefnite time. Another cause that makes it impossible to give the full list of attendants is the fact that where the family name only was obtained the complete number in the family was lost. It is estimated that about fifty to one hundred more churchgoers would have been added to.

the list, if fuller details were obtained. Another point noted by the volunteers is the high esteem in which people one denomination hold other churches of different beliefs. PICTURES IN LINDENHURST. Friends of Public School View Prints of Paintings. Lindenhurst, L.

November 24-The assembly hall of the new union schoolhouse was crowded last night by friends of the school, who attended the entertainment given in conjunction with the art exhibition which is being held in the school this week.

Lorenz, pastor of the local Lutheran Church, told the history of the original of one of the prints--the "Mona Lisa" of Leonardo da Vinci. Miss Harriett E. Kelly, one of the teachers of the school, told the story of another picture, a copy of which was displayed, "The Fog Warning" of Winslow Homer. Jose Cruz, a young Porto Rican who is staying at Bay Shore, provided one of the best. appreciated parts of the programme.

Mr. Cruz, who is in America for the purpose of studying operatic singing, sang "My Rosary" and "I'm Falling in Love With Someone." Miss Ruth Rossuck, a 15-year-old Bay Shore girl, rendered several piano selections. A number of selections by pupils of the school and an address by Assemblyman Fred Sheide closed the programme.
