AT THE HOTEL MARGARET Brooklyn, Y. ACADEMY WINS FIGHT TO KEEP CARS AWAY Three-Cent Line Plan for Ashland Place Route. PRES. POUNDS INTERVENES. Because of His Objections Company Will End Line at Fulton Street.

Asks New Contract. The Manhattan Bridge Line has abandoned its fight to extend route beyond Flatbush avenue and Fulton street. The Board of Estimate today fixed December 18 date for a public hearing on applicathis they tion of the company for an ment to its contract abrogating the right to construct a street surface railroad on various streets in Manhattan beyond the Manhattan Terminal of the Manhattan Bridge and on all streets in Brooklyn, excepting the Flatbush avenue extension to Fulton street, where it now operates. Frederick W. Rowe, president of the company, admitted that, for the time being at least, the efforts of the ThreeCent Line to extend its route to the Long Island Railroad depot were ended.

The company had decided on this course, he said, at the request of Borough President Pounds. President Pounds declared that he had asked the company to withdraw its Ashland place application and amend its contract because of the fact that the route proposed by it was tortuous and crossed so many portant lines of street car traffic that he feared it would lead to serious congestion if constructed. Under its franchise the company was entitled to extend its line from Flatbush avenue extension and Fulton street to Rockwell place to Flatbush and Fourth avenues, thence down Atlantic avenue to Third avenue, back to Flatbush avenue and from there through Livingston and Hoyt streets across Fulton to Bridge street and back again to Flatbush avenue. It was in seeking to have this route changed so as to operate cars through Ashland place instead of Rockwell place that the company encountered severe oposition from the directors of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, who held that the operation of cars past the Academy building would seriously interfere with the concerts and performances there. Professor Franklin Hooper, up until the time of his death recently, was a leading figure in this fight.

The present application of the company for a withdrawal of the privileges it had and the new franchise rights it sought, is a victory for the patrons and directors of the Academy of Music and the many prominent Brooklynites who supported them in their fight. LINEBURGH TELLS ABOUT PATRONAGE Issues Statement That He and Sharkey Are Friendly and All Is Harmony. Superintendent of Highways Thomas B. Lineburgh, the G. O.

P. leader of the Fifth Assembly District, 13sued a statement today, which he said explained just what happened at the meeting of the election district captains in the Kings County Club, Monday night. The fact that a Republican scheme to authorize him to act alone in patronage matters concerning the district turned down, led to the general impression that he had been given a back seat, and that there was a merry row on in the district between him and ex-Naval Officer Robert A. Sharkey. Lineburgh says all is harmony in the district, and that he and Sharkey are friendly.

Lineburgh's friends say that Sharkey wants to get an under Controller Travis, preferably as one of the transfer tax appraisers in Brooklyn, and that as Lineburgh hasn't appeared very enthusiastic about it, this caused the exleader to feel a little anxious when it was proposed to make Lineburgh the district's only spokesman in patronage matters. Lineburgh's version was like this: "I told the captains that some method should be adopted for the orderly handling of patronage matters; that I thought some smaller body than the captains, as a whole, should be authorized to act. "Colonel Lewis C. Stegman introduced a resolution to the effect that all such matters be left to me. This was opposed.

After some deliberation, Edward Burgess moved that patronage matters affecting the district be left to the Republicans of the district holding elective offices. "Mr. Sharkey then said it would meet with general approbation, he thought, if a committee be formed of these elected officers, and Colonel Stegman's name be added. That was adopted ununimously, except for one dessenting voice--that of Mr. Van Houten, who said he thought it better to leave such matters to the executive member alone.

He agreed with the other plan, though, saying that as the great mafority wanted it that way, he desired it to be entirely uuanimous, and withdrew his negative vote. "The committee as finally decided upon includes Senator-elect Charles C. Lockwood, Isadore Buxbaum, who was elected to the Constitutional Convention; Assemblyman -elect Fred G. Milligan, Alderman Edward H. Taylor and myself."

War's Horrors Forgotten At Mass for a Dead King Brussels Throngs Church a St. to Pay Homage to Memory of Romania's Ruler--Diplomats Conspicuous Among the Attendants--German Soldiers Knelt Beside Belgians, and Peace Was Over All. (Special to The Eagle From a Staff Correspondent.) Brussels, October 20-The death of King Carol of Roumania, who was closely allied by ties of blood to the royal house of Belgium, was the occasion here today of a solemn requiem mass in the Church of St.

Jacques-surCaudenberg, and Brussels forgot the for an hour to do homage to a dead 1 ruler, whose country is at peace. Like everything solemn in Europe, the requiem mass was spectacular. Continentals invest death with a turesque elaborateness that is quite the opposite of the American idea of the dignity of simplicity. The Church of is a modern affair, having been begun in than he the year 1776, which saw also the birth of American freedom. It is not particularly impressive, although it is set well on the Place Royale.

This morning its portals were draped in black, splashed with white spots to simulate ermine. A simple card with a mourning border, tacked up outside, announced the service. At 5 minutes before 11, in the midst of a rain that was just heavy enough to take the gloss off a top hat, the diplomatic corps, or, rather, what is left of it, began to arrive. The diplomatte corps arrives with dignity, for that is part of its business. Diplomacy has forsaken mid- Vicaugust, torian elegance of a coach and pair for the swifter insignificance of a motorcar.

The motors arrived speedily with flying colors. From every wind shield flapped a bit of silk that stood for sovereignty. There were many queer combinations of effect. South American republics and Oriental despotism stood together on the sidewalk, bade each other good morning in French and went up the long flight of steps into the church. The motors lined up outside to await the end.

ONE OF U-26'S CREW WRITES. Draws a Graphic Pen Picture of the Suspense Before Result of Shot Is Known. of the Associated The Hague, November 11-A letter telling of an attack by the German submarine U-26 upon an unmentioned British warship is published by the Zeit. It begins with preparations for the expedition "two hours before midnight" in order to make the strike at dawn. The letter, said to have been written by a member the crew of the attacking boat, follows: "Around the heavy granite rocks of the long pier, monstrously black in the dark night, the storm sweeps up the water of North Sea in angry waves.

Inside pier the water lifts up our the submarine in the regular motion of heavy waves. Everything is pitch dark. The fact that many people are hurrying about on deck is only shown by the somber figures who now and then pass front of the single lantern. From out of the engine room, already under water, there arise the sound of heavy pounding and the weird, ling of the engines which are being tried out. "At 10:30 there is shrill whistle from the little bridge which stands high above the submarine, and which is covered with heavy canvas.

The officer in command, dressed in his oilskins, gives the sign of departure. The cables are loosened. A short, sharp signal to the engine room, the sudden whir as the motor catches, and the U-26 is under way. We move in a westerly direction. We are going toward the enemy.

"The heavens are covered with clouds. Not a star is visible. The wind is from aside and the bridge is entirely flooded with water. No noise is heard but the heavy droning sound of the motor and the swish of the water passing along our sides. "The earliest signs of dawn appear, when suddenly, in the near distance, there is the sight of a heavy bulk swinging high above us upon the water.

We pass through the long tail of foam which a hostile torpedo-destroyer has just left behind, speeding toward the east. We have managed to find our way through the first line of the enemy's advance guard. From now on we must be very careful. The U-26 Prepares for Action. "A signal is heard and men appear upon deck.

The boat is prepared for action. The flagpole is taken down. Part of the bridge is folded together and well fastened. The periscope is brought up to the proper height. Then the entrance through the combined bridge and conning tower is hermetrically closed.

The tanks are opened and the inrushing water tells us that the boat is about to submerge. The gasoline motors stop their endless song. Electricity will drive us from now until we shall reappear upon the water. 'A young lientenant is posted at the periscope and looks for the enemy. The sailors take their position near the torpedoes.

The interior of the boat is lighted with two small electric bulbs They make the darkness visible, but give no light. The heat in the sinall room is oppressive.

She was very active in the Central Congregational Church, and a member of the church societies. Mrs. Schanek was daughter of Charles Mortimer and Maria Harbeck Simonson.

Annie Teresa Kenny. Mrs. Annie Teresa Kenny, 67 years old, widow of Battalion Chief Thomas A. Kenny, died yesterday at her residence, 90 South Tenth street, from heart failure brought on by excessive grief over the death, on July 17 last. of her husband.

Soon after the funeral of her husband Mrs. Kenny's condition became such that her family took her to Asbury Park, hoping to divert her mind from her loss. She steadily grew worse, however, and went into a. decline. On November 8 last occurred the fiftieth anniversary of her marriage.

Mrs. Kenny and her husband were inseparable and never since their marriage, until death separted them, had they been away from each other for even a day. The funeral will probably be held Friday morning, with a requiem mass in the Roman Catholic Church of the Epiphany, on South Ninth street, with interment in Calvary Cemetery.

with a with feather in silver it. Also carried a pole a spike the end, and he spoke with lisp. The interior of the Church of St. Jacques-sur-Caudenberg was dark. Outlined against the marble dimness of the high altar stood a massive catafalque, surrounded by many fluttering candles, and covered with the flag of Roumania.

At 11 o'clock a bell tolled, the scraping of in the aisles ceased, and the service began. Somewhere in the back of the church, up among the arches was a deep-throated organ, and the vibrant voices of men and the liquid contraltos of young boys. On the altar the priests were moving solemnly about, performing the always mysterious ritual of the mass. The precious odor of incense filled the building and the smoke, lingering about the, catafalque, veiled it in a lavender mist. Kneeling on the rush -bottomed chairs were many women in black, and I imagine they felt more keenly their own personal griefs for the loss of kin on the battlefield than they did a vague sorrow for the passing of a wise King.

Many curious persons gathered at the back of the church to be frequently repressed by the silver-laced man with the pike. German soldiers came in and knelt beside those whose homes they are supposed to have ruined, and over all was a passing peace. It was a solemn hour, in which one was brought face to face with death and all its unreasoning despairs and splendid hopes. Papal Delegate First to Leave the Church After the Ceremony. At noon the candles had burned low and the service was at an end.

The departure of the important ones was elaborate. The man with the spike came out waved it jabbingly, at the same time muttering soft warnings against disobedience. The first person to leave the church was the Papal delegate, in a purple sash and gloves. He was bowed into a yellow automobile and driven rapidly away. The second group to leave was the most interesting of all, for it was headed by Baron von der Goltz, Military Governor of Belgium.

The Baron wore a shining helmet with a golden eagle, and he was covered with medals. His staff was brilliantly turned out. One of them, a young adjutant, very thin, and with very tight uniform, had a monocle screwed into his eye. and he was the only one who had overdone the business of soldierly smartness. The others were keenly alive, with just a bit of a swagger, and good to look upon.

Afterwards there came the diplomats, including Brand Whitlock, American Minister to Belgium. Diplomats, outwardly at least, are uninspiringly similar. A top hat, a cutaway coat, a stick and spats--these are the perquisites of diplomatic distinction. Some of the Ministers were a bit bored. There was Brazilian who stood on the top step and lighted a cigarette to look about him with relief for his motor.

The wife of the Minister from Anywhere took occasion to point out to her husband that she was in dire need of a new fall hat, and a young secretary, lingering behind a pillar, with a daughter of diplomacy, picked up an invitation to luncheon. 1 After the corps had shaken hands, bowed, exchanged compliments and escaped in the automobiles with the waving flags, the crowd of onlookers smiled and dispersed. The man with the spike leaned it up against the door, shook out his silver lace, removed his feathered headpiece and wiped his brow. Even a King's requiem cannot obliterate the occasional absurdities of heedless humanity. HENRY WEST SUYDAM.

mand of the three torpedoes looks at his watch or at his compass, both of which he carries around his wrist. Intently the men all watch the signboard on the wall in front of them. The storm which is raging upon the surface makes itself felt in the depth. Every a motion of the water causes the boat to rock up and down, up and down, and up and down. Gloomy Thoughts of Possible Disaster.

"We think of advantage of the man on board a warship. If bis time comes, he can go with a last look of the happy sun and the blue sky, We see nothing, hear nothing. If the boat is to go down we shall all suffocate in the darkness under water. "Suddenly we all jump up and forget heat and bad air and discomfort. In small lighted letters the signboard says, 'Attention." The officer in command holds the lever which will release the first torpedo.

The sailors make ready to launch the second one as soon as the first shall have gone. A few seconds pass. We must be very near the enemy. Suddenly the first sign disappears. Half a second later and the red-glowing letters say With a single jerk, the lever releases the torpedo.

A short metallic click, the noise of the water rushing into the empty tube and all is over. The second torpedo is at once pushed into the tube. A few seconds later and the interior of the submarine looks as before the attack began. a "But what of the first torpedo? Did she reach her goal? Instinctively we have kept count-one hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred -four hundred. Under water no sound penetrates.

We only hear the noise of our engines. We wait. Nothing happens. Then, suddenly we are all thrown together by the jerky movement of the boat. Twice or three times more we feel that we have changed our course very abruptly.

"Then the boat rolls as before. The regular purring of the engines is heard. Our submarine is rapidly moving eastward. "We are on our way home. The attack has been successful." PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE.

BESIDES ALL THE NEWS YOU will find articles of present interest, accurate and readable from all the world, in The Sunday Eagle November 29 Severely criticising the members of the Board of Estimate for blocking the efforts of Register Edward T.

O' Loughlin to clear up the accumulated work in his office. Justice Benedict in special term of the Supreme Court today granted A writ of mandamus ordering the Board to transfer to Register O' Loughlin's general fund the sum of $18,000, which had been appropriated for "extra clerks." A long-standing difference of opinion between Comptroller Pendergast and Register O'Loughlin has been ascribed reason why the former official frustrated the latter's efforts to get money for copyists to catch up with the copying of the real estate records. In a lenghy opinion, Justice Benedict sets forth that the law on the subject is very plain and that it is also quite clear that the Legislature gave the Register the power to engage extra copyists whenever the work fell more than a month behind. If the should resort to such an urgent measure, it would be up to the Board of Estimate to find the money to pay the extra copyists. Justice Benedict also says that so far as the $18,000 appropriation for "extra clerks" in the Kings County Register's office is concerned, the Court "cannot basis on which it rests." Moreover, the Court cannot understand why the Bourd of Estimate refused to appropriate the $50,000 demanded by Register O' Loughlin for his copying work this year, in view of the appropriations of the previous years, when no such attitude was taken as the Board of Estimate exhibited this year.

Before he started out on this year's work Register O' Loughlin asked for $50,000. The board appropriated $26,000. This sum was exhausted in the latter part of June and the Register then asked for $24,000 more. Controller Pendergast made a few me more speeches to the effect that Register O'Loughlin did not need the money at all, and the Board of Estimate again fell in line and the $24,000 was refused. The Register then back to the board with a request that it transfer to his general fund the $18,000 which for some mysterious reason that the board or Controller Pendergast has never explained, was appropriated for "fifteen additional clerks for the Register's office at a salary of $1,200 a year each." "The act of the Legislature of 1913," said Justice Benedict in his decision.

"specified by office, designation and salary all the regular assistants and clerks whom the Register of Kings County was entitled to appoint in his office. How, then, could the Board of Estimate authorize the appointment of more regular clerks by providing for the salaries of such clerks? It seems to me that the Board's action in this regard has no warrant in law. It may be remarked, however, in passing, that the reason assigned by the Board for its refusal to make the transfer mentioned, that to do so would contravene a. resolution of the Board in respect of such transfers was wholly without merit, since the Board could not, by resolution in advance, deprive itself of the discretionary powers with which the Legislature has seen fit to clothe it." Justice Benedict also says in his decision that the Board indicated that $18,000 was needed for work in the Register's office by setting aside the amount named for clerks, and, therefore, the Court grants Register O' petition. fast.

D. Clinton Mackey, whose residence is the Montauk Club, was arrested today on an indictment brought by the Grand Jury in Manhattan yesterday charging him with appropriating check for $2,000 to his own use which had been sent him by the Illinois Surety Company of Chicago to indemnify a bond. Mr. Mackey was formerly the Eastern agent for that company, but gave up his position on December 1, 1913. He was arrested In his office at 5 Nassau street, where he conducts an Insurance business.

Later he was arraigned before Judge Mulqueen in the Court of General Sessions and held in $10,000 bail and given one week to prepare 110- tions. Bail was furnished. The case against the insurance man dates back over a year and the Chicago company elains that it sent him a check to indemnity the bond, but that no account of it has appeared on his books. According to Mr.

Mackey's side of the case, howecer, the books ol the company were taken from him in December and although he has asked several times to be given a statement of his account, it has never been forthcoming. He has started suit against the surety company to recover $50,000, which he says is due him as percentage of premiums or personal money advanced, and, he says, it is His belief that the Chicago company resorted to the criminal action to forestall the civil suit.
