Washington, September 26 The De partment of Agriculture In Its report on the recent Investigation of polluted conditions of the oyster beds In Jamaica Bay, N.

says Jamaica Bay is "one great basin Into which many millions of gallons of human sewage are constantly flowing. Doubtless, myriads of typhoid organisms from this sewage," the report points out, "find their way over a portion of the shellfish grounds through the medium of polluted waters." Oysters from Jamaica Bay are generally sold under the name of "Rockaways." The report calls attention to the fact that the insanitary condition of the Jamaica Bay vicinity was set forth four years ago by New York State authorities, but that no steps have been taken to prevent the sale of contaminated oys ters or to prevent further pollution of the bay. The practice of floating oysters in pol-uted waters in Inwood and Inwood Creek, L. baB not been stopped, the report says. BHODEBECK WILL FILED.

MEM SURRENDERS TO SOUTHERLAND Nicaraguan Rebel Leader Will Be Escorted to Panama by U. S. Sailors. REVOLUTION HAS COLLAPSED. Granada Is Now Under Control of United States Forces Condition! Extremely Pitiful.

Washington, September 28 General Mcna. leader of the Nicaraguan revolutionists. Is to be sent to Panama under guard of American sailors and marines. American Minister Weitzel reported to State Department today that Rear Admiral Southerland had accepted the surrender of Mena and TOO followers at midnight, September 24. His capture Is taken to Indicate the collapse of the revolution, and his removal to Panama probably means exile.

Officials here believed General Mena re quested that he be permitted to surrender Admiral Southerland from fear of summary action at the hands of the Nic araguan federals, and the Admiral doubtless thought It advisable to get the rebel leader out of the country as soon as possible. Granada Is now completely under control of United States forces. Conditions are reported pitiful In the extreme. The inhabitants face famine In consequence their long Isolation. Red Cross provisions have been distributed with tho greatest haste.

It is not thought that General Zeledon and bis forces will attempt to hold out now that the head of the revolution has Kiven up. Little- Importance is attached here to the announcement by Juan Irias, former follower of Zelaya, of his Intention to succeed General Mena. Irias made known his ambition before leaving San Jose, Costa Rica, several days ago. Nothing since has been beard of his whereabouts. Blueflelds.

Nicaragua, September 2- Official confirmation was received hers) this morning of the surrender of General Mena. This news Is generally accepted as the termination of the revolution. 3 MARRIAGE LICENSES Iasu4 during the 24 hour nd1g at A M. today. Owrifo 24.

Bvhuli, LJimi Kfiiy. A. MIneola Fair Officials Disregard Shocked Protests of W. C. T.

U. Women. NOW EXHIBIT IS POPULAR. Artists Astounded at Protest, Declare Their Paintings Are Modest Protestants Are Unconvinced. (Special to Eagle.) MineolH.

It. September 20 The njost popular plaoe on the ground of the Queena-Nasaau County Fair today Is that corner of the Woman's Building where are hung the two pictures against which vigorous protest was made yesterday hj the county heads ot the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union. Secretary Lott Van Nostrand refused to agree to their removal. Practically every attendant at the fair this morning made it his or her first; business to go see the offending pic tures. which MrB.

John B. Dayton, presi. dent of the W. C. T.

U. of Queens and Nassau counties, and Mrs. Asbury Joho- od, in charge of the society's tent at the fair grounds, have characterized as vio lating the penal code provision against the exhibition of obscene pictures. Viewers of the two pictures of tha nude figure of a woman found that the W. C.

T. U. objectors had erred in men tlontng the pictures aa photographic copies of famous paintings. They are the original paintings and they were done by Harris J. Parmelee of Port Washington, and Miss Ethel W.

Harway of Bayslde. The two artists, who have been students at the National Academy of De sign in Manhattan, produced the paint ings at their joint studio in Bayslde, and decided to enter them in the competition at the fair on the advice of the presi dent of the National Academy, John. Alexander. The premiums in the art section are to be awarded by the Judges today, and both Miss Harway and Mr. Parmelee came to the fair today to learn the result of the competition and to protest, if such a thing became necessary, against artf" attempt to remove their pictures from the exhibition.

They found that there was no likelihood that the pictures would be taken down. "Modest Portrayals of the Artists Say, Both artists, however, expressed them selves as horrified that criticism should have been made of their paintings on the ground of their obsecenlty. Tlmy said that Mr. Alexander, who Is regarded as one of the greatest art experts in this country, had selected the portraits for the correctness of their life-study. They themselves, they asserted, regarded the paintings as the most modest portrays of the nude they had ever seen, and were sure that they might be exhibited any where with the utmost propriety.

"It's dreadful to think that some peo ple should say Buch awful things," said Miss Harway, "but, of course, they don't reallv know what they are doing. We haven't anything to say against criticism but we would like to emphasize the fact that the paintings are essentially modeBt and proper. It was learned today that Secretary Van De Water secured expert advice yes terday before he refused to obey the oe mands of the W. C. T.

U. leaders that the pictures be removed from the exhi bition. Dr. Charles H. Miller, a member of the National Academy and preslden of the Society of Allied Arts and Crafts, of Queens, was on the 'ounds, and Mr, Van De Water went to him with the problem.

Dr. Miller viewed the pictures and then told the secretary that no one could really take exception to the pic tures. So they stayed. Mrs. Asbury Johnson, one of the pro teitants against the pictures yesterday, was told today that the pictures were going to remain on exhibition.

She said that this fact did not alter her opinion and that she Relieved more flrmly than ever that it is wrong to exhibit such pic tures. Asked if the W. C. T. U.

would take further action on the matter, Mrs. Johnson said there was nothing further the women could do at present, but that It would be taken up at the next meeting of the eocloty. $135,000 FOR HOME RULE FUND United Irish League Members Generous in Devotion to the Cause. (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, September 25 The sixth blennUl convention of the United Irish League of America concluded today at TVItherspoou Hall and a record pledge for Irish home rule for the next twit years was made, amounting to 135,600. This Is $35,000 more than was expected.

The delegation from Brooklyn and Manhattan, N. pledged $23,000. the latter pledging the greater amount. The last day of the convention drew a record crowd, among those present being Mrs. Esther Power of Brooklyn, the daughter of John E.

District Attorney Beaches New York From Hot Springs, in Jubilant Mood. District Attorney Whitman got back from Hot Springs, today righly elated over the result of his Investiga tion of the tales told by Sara Scheppj Immediately after his arrest there.

The District Attorney, who was accompanied Mrs. Whitman, Assistant Attorney Robert Rubin and three New York newspaper reporters, got into the Pennsylvania Btation at 9:30. Mr. Whitman made the emphatic declaration that the people's case against Lieutenant Charles Becker, under Indictment for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, had been strengthened 100 per cent, as the result of the taking of testimony of three witnesses, Alderman Pettlt. the Acting Mayor of Hot Springs', Douglass HotchkiBs, editor of a local paper there, and J.

L. Sullivan, the constable, in whoso presence Scnepps was eaid to have exculpated Becker. Mr. Whitman was thoroughly pleased over the Interviews he had with these three Important witnesses, and it was said that the depositions they made, which will be submitted at the trial of Becker and read Into the records, will substantiate the allegations that the accused lieutenant ordered "Jack" Rose, "Bridgey" Webber and "Harry" Vallon to hire gunmen to murder Rosenthal. It was known that District Attorney Whitman was in some doubt as to the truth of some assertions made by Schepps, and it was for the purpose ot ascertaining whether or not there were any discrepancies in the gunman a state ments that he went to Hot springs and Interrogated these three important witnesses named by Schepps.

Mr. Whitman was jubilant today when he made the announcement that he is confident that Schepps told the absolute truth when he said that he did not exonerate Becker. Mr. Whitman wont on to say that If the defense attempts to seek the appointment of a new commission to take the testimony of tho three witnesses in Hot Springs he will vognr-ously oppose such action. He said thai the State had built up an impregnable case which the defense will not be able to break down.

Mr. Whitman was not Inclined to discuss politics, and when told thnt he had been mentioned as a gubernatorial possibility he smiled broadly. When asked if he would accept the nomination for Governor he skillfully avoided answering. "I am District Attorney," he said, "and heaps of work have been mapped out for me." He would not say anything more. Apropos of the case of Policeman Le-hane, who was placed on trial yesterday for having been off post when he was assisting Mr.

Whitman, the District At torney said that the story as told by be ltane at the trial at police headquarters yesterday was true. It appears that Mr. Whitman has gotten word that some the witnesses in the Rosenthal murder have been intimidated, and encountering policeman Ijchane on the Btreet he asked him to go along and help to round up the intimldators. The District Attorney was considerably wrought up today when informed that charges had been preferred against Lehane, and he announced that he Intended to have a talk with Com- imlssioner Waldo and inform hlra of the fac ts In the case. With regard to the aldermanic Investigation, Mr.

Whitman said that It would in no way Interfere with the trial of cr the John Doe proceedings before Justice Goff. The District Attorney ir.rcd that he was In favor of the Inquiry coniinuing, inasmuch as it would conflict with the trial or the m-vi s'lgatlon before Goff. Mr. Whitman said that the trial of Becker will positively po on October 7, and that he belli vis thr.t the defense Is convinced of the futility for any further delay.

MANY BROOKLYN COMPLAINTS Chairman Curran Anticipates Inter esting Disclosures as to Local Vice Conditions.

The probe of the Aldermanic Investigat ing Committee, into the affairs of the Police Department, will be extended to Brooklyn as soon as the committee completes the essential details of the inquiry In Manhattan. Chairman Henry Curran admitted this to be true after a conference with Alderman O. Grant Es-terbrook and Robert Downing, two of the Brooklyn members on the committee. The hearing will be held in the Borough Hall and sufficient time will be given in an nouncing the first hearing, an that all I ihose interested in this borough may have an opportunity to attend. Mr.

Curran eaid that he believed that the investigation in Brooklyn will be JUBt as prolific, in results as the one which has been going on in Manhattan. 'I discussed the question of holding public hearings In Brooklyn," said Mr. Curran, "when Aldermen Esterbrook and Downing and the suggestion received their hearty indorsement. They agreed with me that if the committee held a hearing in that borough, more might be accomplished than if we continued to hold all the public hearings at the City Hall in Manhattan." Chairman Curran said that from letters which he has received there are a great many localities in Brooklyn where all sorts of vice are being permitted by the police without any restriction. This is particularly true of the ten derloin that has been developed In Brooklyn within the last two years in the Bushwick section and along Broadway, from Myrtle avenue up to East New York.

The letters which Mr. Curran has received bearing on this particular, locality contain some very interesting In formation. They indicate mat tne gam blers and proprietors of disorderly resorts either do not fear the police or regard themselves as Immune from interference. Of all the communications that have been received by Mr. Curran since the police investigation began 75 per cent, have come from Brooklyn.

Some of them are signed by Individuals. Others are In the form of petitions, signed by taxpayers requesting the commitee to investigate various vice conditions which are specified. Still others are written in the names of different civic organizations in all parts of the borough. The Aldermanic committee makes the suggestion that citizens and civic organizations who wish to participate at the Brooklyn hearings will expedite the police Investigation if they will send any information they have to Mr. Curran or to Emory R.

Manufactured only by JAMES PYLE New York MAGISTRATES TOO POOR Have no Certified Copies of City Ordinances, So Defendants Co Free. Failure on the part of the police to legally prove the existence of certain city ordinances that are generally known to be operatove, resulted this morning In the dismissal of five complaints before MnPiKtrnta Hdnriv In court this morning. There were four bootblacks und newsdealerj who had been charged with running their business without a license, and one Junk dealer, who was alleged to have failed to com ply with an ordinance in setting down In his day book a purchase of an electric cable which had been stolen from the Edison company. Magistrate Handy made from the bench the astonishing declaration that he did not know of the existence of a certified copy of the city ordinances in the entire Second Division of the city magisterial board, which Includes Brooklyn, Queens uuu menmono. ine trouble is," said he, "that the City Clerk requires a fee for certifying to the city ordinances and the mneis- trates have never been able to get enough money together tu pay the man.

Maybe me ponce can scare up a certtned copy," There seemed to be no certified copy at the disposal of the police, and as the law requires that nothing but a cer tified copy shall be accepted as legal evidence the cases were all dismissed. Then it was suggested that even common cases of Intoxication and disorderly conduct would have to be dismissed if the defendants Insisted on the legal right to have the ordinance prohibiting drunkenness and disorderly conduct made a part of the records. The trouble that might ensue from defendants demanding their rights In the matter is far-reaching. A certified copy of the city ordinances costs about $160. For years the city magistrates have been trying to get together money enough in thlr budget to pay the City Cletk for the trouble of giving them copies of the ordinances.

In the meanwhile the magistrates have been taking the ordinances for granted, hoping all tho while that this question of the legality of their proceedings would not bo disputed. BROOKLYN COURTS SUPREME COURT. Special term for motions; Friday, September 1'rcjtfnt, (TiiirleH H. Kflby, .1. 1..
