"You haven't the slightest idea of raising twelve or fifteen millions of dollars by popular subscription, You have started In to draw terrible pictures of suffering here which are not so, until the discussion has reached a point where it is not serious."

Jacob Whitehurst per- BY THE MAYOR. Delegation of Queens Property Owners County APPEARS BEFORE HIS HONOR On Behalf of the Blackwell's Island Bridge Ask for an Appropriation for Preliminary Work Mr. Van Wyok Saya He Hopes to See Two More Bridges Begnn Before He Leaves Office. Queens borough held the center of the stage in an interesting scene in the office of Mayor Van Wyck this morning. The oc casion was an interview granted by the Mayor to a delegation of gentlemen from Queens who came to intercede in behalf of the construction of a bridge from some point in Queens across the East River, via Blackwell's Island, to a point in Manhattan.

The delegation, a donen strong, nrrived nt the City Hall and for an hour loitered about the steps. As a rule the steps of the City Hall are free of Jpungers, with the exception of an occasional Park Row tramp who makes them his resting place until he is chased away by some enterprising policeman. The parry attracted some atten tion from persons entering the building aud those passing by. Shortly after 10 o'clock Mayor Van Wyck passed into his office. He might as well have been in Harlem, for all the delegation appeared to know.

Some kind-hearted individual informed them, however, that His Honor had arrived, and forthwith the gentlemen filed into the Mayor's office. Mayor Van Wyck received them cordialjj and asked what he could do. Professor Jared Barheit acting as spokesman explained that they represented Queens Borough, and desired to have the Mayor moke an appropriation to provide for the preliminary gtept in the construction of the bridge. He stated that the future prosperity of the borough of Queens depended uoon bridge connection with the remainder of the city of which the borough formed a nart He represented business in the borough as greatly depressed, and made a strong an peal for the assistance of the administration, in the way indicated, toward relieving tnese deplorable conditions. Mr.

Robert Laffan was introduced hy Professor Barheit He spoke of the depreciation of property values, and maintained that the only salvation of the borough from ruination lay in the construction of the bridge. Mayor Van Wyck inquired if the delegation were working in behalf of the franchise granted private parties some few years ago for the construction of a bridge over Blackwell's Island. The delegation assured him that the bridge they were agitating the construction of had no connection in any way with that franchise, and was an entirely new matter. Mayor Van Wyck replied: "I only ask for the reason that this administration is not going to do what the last administration did with the new East River Bridge; give it to the railroad companies, when the city builds more bridges over the East River, it will do it itself, and for itself. Professor Barheit, what would vou suggest?" Mr.

Barheit answered that the oninion of the committee that had been organized representing all section of the borough, and which had this matter in hand, considered that it would be only right for the Mayor to make provision in the tax budget for sufficient money to make the preliminary investigations. "You can't build a bridge piecemeal," re plied the Mayor. "The construction of the bridge wil lhav? to be covered entirely by one measure. Continuing, he said: "Now, this budget bp overcrowded. There will have to be provision made for the Elm street widening $6,000,000.

This is a legacy from the last administration, the most extravagant in the history of municipal governments. "It if my intention to see two more bridges begun over the East River before I leave this office. Jnst now we must provide $9,000,000 for the schools, then I want to have the bridge now in course of construction completed; after tlrs is done. we will be in a position to commence building another bridge and still another. Where these two bridges will be located I cannot say.

They may be both at the point you gentlemen indicate, or only one there." Mayor Van Wyck emphasized his utter ances, and no ordinary person could be mistaken as to his policy or intentions regarding bridges. When the schools are provided for, and the bridge at present being constructed is completed, then we will commence the construction of two additional bridges." At this point soce comedy was injected into the proceedings by a member of the delegation named Rudolph Horak. Earlier in the day, Mr. Horak said he had won a wager as to the-weight of the petitions in connection with the project He stated that the. petitions altogether weighed 650 pounds.

Whether or not the wager was a small, cold bottle," he did not say. Mr. Horak made a vehement address to the Mayor, in which he maintained that the "lingency" of the last administration should be set aside and the. bridge across Black well's Island built instead. He assured the Mayor that his name would go dowu to "prosperity" if he took hold of the matter.

The Mayor was courteous throughout the hearing; in fact, he was cordial. He bowed politely as Mr. Horak finished. Mr. Laffan intimated that the delegation would like to carry back to the people of Queens the Mayor's promise to make the appropriation asked for.

The proposition was, on the face of it, out of the question, and the Mayor so explained. Mr. Horak again came back. He drew a blood-cnrdling picture of people starring in Long Island City because there is no bridge between that section and Manhattan. II started the harangue hy trying to prove that the bridge is mora important than the schools, and then began to talk about roads.

"What's the use of having schools when we have to send onr children through mud and slush," he shouted. "Better to send dthetn that way than not to send them at 'interrupted the Mayor. "Well, they have to go barefooted," yelled Horak, who la accredited with owning fifty houses in Long Island City. The other members of the delegation began to get nervous.

Fine Meeting at tho Andrew Jaoh-son Cluh of tho Seventh Ward-James Lindsay Gordon Invents a New Shihholeth. James Lindsay Gordon, the Tammany orator, who Is "Silver Tongued'' Grady's greatest rival for favor as a speaker, gave the Democrats of the Fourth Assembly 1 District a new campaign slogan at their mass meeting In the Andrew Jackson Club last night. He was speaking of Roosevelt's record as a Police Commissioner in New.

York, his method of interpreting tho Raines law, which he now declares is the best Excise law ever placed on the statute books'; the spy system, which Roosevelt Invented, and the different forms of police persecution he adopted. 'Oh, yes, we know this man Roosevelt in New York," said Mr. Gordon with sar casm. "We know this Roosevelt, the Republican candidate for Governor; Roosevelt the Bluff Rider." This papaphrasing of the Republican fa vorite campaign cry caught the audience by storm, and, Gordon reception of a year ago at the Academy of Music was dupll-. The meeting from start to finish was; enthusiastic.

The hall was packed long be fore 8 clock, and the cheering for Dem-. ocratlc candidates started when James B. Bouck, lender of the district, introduced Joseph Cflrroll as presiding officer. John 0, McFnrland was the first speaker. He referred to the canal frauds as the crime of the century, and declared that the party which strikes at the canals strikes at the commercial supremacy of the city of New York and the State of New York.

In speaking of the manner in which Roosevelt ignores State issues and discusses national affairs, Mr. McFarland exclaimed: "The fact of the matter is that Roorf'velt is so enthused over this nomination, which Mr. Piatt gave him that he thinks he Is run-. nine for the Presidency." When Mr. Gordon was introduced, ho was received with cheers.

He spoke, first of the Force law. He explained it in de-tnil from a lawyer's standpoint and then he asked this pointed question: 'Do you know that these deputies of Mc- Cnllagh's men break into your house, ex amine your parlor, your kitchen, yotir pantry and sleeping room and the private apartments of your wife and daughter?" 1 "Just send one of them down my way and see what happens to him," yelled an la- dignant man In the audience. 'If anything happened to him yod would go to prison," answered the speaker. John J. Fitzgerald, candidate' for Con gress, followed Mr.

Uordon. He told a story of a school trustee who found a big flag conspicuously draped on the wall of a schoolroom he was visiting and. who com-1 mended the teacher and pupils for their pa-'' triotism'. "That isn't for patriotism;" chimed fh" i bright bay, "that's to cover up ink sriots on the wall." 'And that's what the Republicans are do ing in this campaign," declared Fiti- gerald. "They are trying to.

use the Amer ican flag to cover up the black spots of the party's record." H. C. Boerner, candidate for and Charles E. Thetford, candidate for Assembly, closed the meeting with short addreses. THE GERMAN MARKET.

American Merchants Are Finding It Profitable. WASHINGTON. Oct. shippers are reaping a harveat in Germany this year, according to reports sent the State Department by Consul-Genernl Frank Ma? son, at Frankfort. Our apples ace finding ready market there at unusually high prices.

This is caused by the mild weather of last winter being especially lenient with the worms and bugs that attack the Ger man trees, the pests, as a result, killing off the present seasons crop. This leaves Germany apple-hungry and our shippers are taking advantage of the ill wind that blew for the orchard men of the fatherland. The State Department is also informed hy its Frankfort Consular office that American canned and cured meats are finding a better market there than formerly. This is mainly due to the fact that the Govern ment's restrictions on imported fresh meats have caused beef raisers there to increase their prices to exorbitant figures, making the staple almost out of reach to the great mass of consumers. They, therefore, are driven to take the next best varieties of meat, cured and canned.

SINGERS WARMLY WELCOMED. Audience Mom Sympathetic than Is Usual In This Borough A Varied Programme, Which Suited Every Taste, Delightfully Rendered. The large and enthusiastic audience, last evening, at Association Hal', give evidence that Brooklynites welcome a new season of mbsic and particularly the songs and songsters furnishing the first programme in the song recital series under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The soloists were Miss Gertrude May Stein, mezzo-soprano, and Mr. Frnng- con Davies.

barytone, accompanied by Mr. Isadore Luckstone. Both were in excellent voice and appeared to feel the inspiration of the more sympathetic audience than Brooklyn is wont to muster. Something, however, was due to the scope and variety of the programme, in which there was.no chance for monotony and at least one song for every taste. It comprised ancient and modern English lyrics, American song, nnd German and French songs, in the foreign tongues and translated.

Mr. Davies opened the recital with a trio of modern English selections, the first being a love "Before the Dawn," by Meyer. "The Royal Red Rose." by Lucas, was a little more sprightly, while the third. Robert Browning's poem. "Prospect," set to music by 0.

VilliersrStamford, allowed a forceful expression of Mr. Davies' deep voice. In exact contrast to this and one of the most appreciated numbers of the evening, was Mr. Davies' beautiful, soulful rendering of F. Liszt's "Du Bist wie Lino Blunie." masterly expression of soul is in fact one of the greatest charms of Mr.

Davies' singing, as he further demonstrated In his remaining selections. These were "The Two Grenadiers," by Wagner; "Mr. Kahne," by Grieg, and a trio of old English songs hy Dlbdin. simple but full of melody. Miss Stein was most cordially accepted.

She is a singer with a powerful voice, well cultivated, and a pleasing personality. In certain registers then is a lack of which time will, no doubt, eradicate. In bright and gay songs she is at her best, and consequently it was the giving of French selections, Guy d'Haidelot's "Sans Toi," "Open Thy Blue Eyes," by Massenet, and Goring Thomas' "Song of the Sunshine," which pleased the audience most of all. Repented applause brought her back for an encore. The American songs sung by Miss Stein were "Sweetheart." bv Chadwick; "The Bluebell," hy MacDoweli, and Clayton John's "I Cannot Help Loving Thee." In the last she was especially fine, fjhe remainder of the programme consisted of two duets, the "Night Hymn at Sea," by Goring Thomas, and the "An-gdus," by Charminade.

the latter being one of the features of the recital. NEW CASES OFyElOW FEVER. A Rise in Temperature Increases the Number in Mississippi. JACKSON, Oct. yellow fever epidemic was given a new lease of Hfe yesterday hy a rise in temperature.

Don't loae your right to Tot ROCKVILLE CENTER, L. Oct. 20. The Creek Navigation bill is constitutional. Justice Johnson handed down a decision yesterday affirming its constitu- tonality.

The people of the south shore look upon the measure as of great ini- portnuoe, since it affects not only the length of navigable waters, hut also the purging of the upper creek by deepening. The decision is in answer to the motion of the Controller that chapter 4ti0, laws of 1808, be set aside on the ground of unconstitu tionality. The law provides that the city of New York "keep open certain navigable creeks fa the town of Hempstead. The Controller's motion was denied, without costs, with leave to renew after a thirty days' notice has been served upon the and Controller. Over gallons of water daily are said to he dfrawn from the creeks affected by the act, ana that supply must necessarily he greatly reduced during the deepening of the creeks.

Assemblyman Wallace, who drew up the hill, wag seen by a reporter for "The Citi-1 gen" this morning in relation to the niat-j ter, and asked as to its importance to south aide people. 1 main point in the answer of the Corporation Counsel," said he, "wis that the town had released to the city all its rights to the water in these creeks before tho first aqnednct was constructed, and the release was submitted to the court. ndge Johnson brushes away this contention by that the navigable rights of a citizen cannot he released or bartered away 'by a town. "The question of practice was thoroughly discussed hy several able lawyers before the proceeding wag begun, and all agreed that the fifteen days' notice referred to in the statute was sufficient However, I do not find fault with the court, although it makes a delay of thirty days before we can renew the motion. The main feature of the law is sustained, and the main defense held to be worthless.

We will yet have these creeks deepened." DIEDOF HYDROPHOBIA. Nine-Tear-Old Boy a Victim to the Disease. BAY SIDE. L. Oct.

20 Frederick Janke, the nine-year-old son of Charles Janke, butcher, who lives in Bell avenue near the depot, died last night in the Flushing Hospital from what the physicians define to be a clear case of hydrophobia. The dog whose bite is supposed to have caused the death of the boy is known to have bitten a number of other persons and also a number of dogs. The dog which bit young Jenke wns one of a litter which formerly belonged to -Vincent Newman, a farmer. Newman gave it to a Polish farmer who lives near his place. "On the afternoon of Sept.

16 the dog ran down the main street in Bay Side dragging a chain behind him nnd snapping at everybody who got in its way. Charles Janke, the father of the dead caught the dog and tied it to a tree in front of his house. Then he went into the house to eat his supper. While he was 'inside his son tried to pet the dog. The animal sprang at him and bit him in the opper 'ip.

The animal then broke its fastenings and again ran away. Janke heard his boy's cries, and opon learning their cause started out to kill the dog. The wounds of the boy and those of a farmer named Nicholas Beck, who was bitten in the thumb and thigh, were dressed that night by Dr. Story. The Janke boy went to school on the following day and his wounds soon healed.

Last Monday morning he began to foel dizzy ajid complained to his mother. That night he had delirious spells and several spasms. He went out yesterday, but at periods during the day was attacked again with spasms. Dr. Story was called in again and he im-mediateljy suspected that the boy had hydrophobia.

The boy was rational most of the time, He called continually for water. Whenever water was offered to him he tried, "There's a lump in my throat; I cannot drink it. Take it away." When water was offered to him Tuesday night he wont inot convulsions. He snapped his teeth and uttered sounds resembling the hark of a dog. Injections of morphine did not quiet him.

Early yesterday morning he became rational again and conversed with his father and the physician. Then came a repetition of the convulsions, during which he frothed at the mouth and uttered the barking sounds. Dr. Laurence, of Flushing, was called in consultation with Dr. Story.

Both physicians agreed that the boy was suffering with hydrophobia and he was sent to Flushing Hospital. IUb condition became rapidly worse and he died last night. It is said that four men nnd three other boys were bitten by the dog in addition to about a score of dogs. FIRE LADDIES ON A VISIT. Huntington's Firemen Entertain Those from Northport.
