Stoner, Child's Mother, Convinces Audience of Kmelency or "Natural Education." I i Winifred Sarkvillo Stone the roly-poly girl who talks eight lan guages and teaches school and writes poetry and does a score and one things additional that stamp her as the most unusual of 12-year old girls, came to Brooklyn today to the Eagle auditorium there, with her equally famous mother, Mrs.

Winifred Sackville Stoner, who has blazed a brand new trail in childhood education, she showed the how and. the why and the wherefore of the new "natural education," before an audience of Brooklyn fathers. and mothers. The Kagle auditorium was crowded to its uttermost corners by those who came to see and hear Winifred and to hear from Mrs. Stoner what it, all meant, and of the scores of skeptics who refused to believe, without seeing for themselves, all that had been claimed for the 12-year old girl and for the education that made her performance possible, it is safe to sav that, not one remained after Winifred and her mother had demonstrated just how it came about.

Those who came saw a child who can perhaps be best described as a "reguar romp of a girl" about 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing probably 120 or 130 pounds with big, rosy, fat cheeks, masses of dark hair shading a shining, round face, dark eyes that sparkled roguishly, and with it all an appearance that seemed the apotheosis of healthy, happy childhood. She was all chubbiness. all dimply, and she had limbs that would have done credit to a husky boy. There was reason enough to fall in love with Winifred just for her appearance alone, but when she stood upon the platform before the throng of people, utterly unaffected, just "a regular girl," as her mother described her, and did the things that had previously seemed impossible for a girl of 12, there could have been no one who did not then and there resolve to be a disciple of "natural education."

"My eldest son was born on April 13, twenty-one years ago just a week too late, you see, to join in the family celebration.

HEDLEY HXPLAINS "OMISSION." Letter, Bearing Kick at Transit, Is Now Answered With Apology to Whitney. Vithin a few hours "after Public Service Commissioner Hayward's out burst yesterday, when he scored Gen eral. Manager lledley of the Interbor- ough for ignoring for two months an official letter from Secretary Whitney of the Commission, the- unanswered missive was "discovered" In the rail road company's file, where It had ba come "mixed up with other papers." Commissioner Hayward's face light ca up with a smile when he was shown the letter from Mr.

Hedley at trbuting his delay In replying to an "inadvertence." The Colonel did not care to make any comment on tho speedltiess with which the letter was found, following' his bitter comment In the meeting yesterday. This morning Secretary Whitney received- is long-awaited answer. It made no reference to what transpired yesterday. The purport of lied ley's, excuse was that Mr. Whftney's letter of February 9 was mislaid, be cause the file got mixed." Commis sloner Hayward called attention to the fact that no reference was made to the later communication of Secretary Whitney, again bringing tho matter to tne attention ot the Interborough.

General Manager Hedley's letter reads, in part: "I regret that through an Inadvertence, as explained by the attached letter from Mr. Keegan to me of even date, your letter of February 9, 1915, Inclosing copy of complaint from William W. Young, was not answered before. "As stated in Mr. Keegan's letter to me, this matter was investigated immediately, and checks taken on the Ninth avenue line at or near the points complained of failed to show any such overcrowding as mentioned in Mr.

Young's complaint. I call your attention to your report of February 4, 1915, which was answered under date of February 18, in which it was a rec ommendation of your Transit Depart ment that on account of the unequal distribution of the load and of the vacant seats in the local trains, some of the local trains in the Ninth avenue service should be transferred to the express service, "As your commission is aware, extensive alterations are being made on the Ninth avenue system to provide additional facilities, and necessarily such alterations interfere somewhat with the movement of trains." The part of Mr. Keegan's letter ex plaining the temporary loss of the Whitney letter was as follows: 'In going through my files today, I find that a letter from the Public Service Commission, dated February 9, 1915, attaching copy of complaint from William W. Y'oung of 2 Rector street, regarding service on the Ninth avenue line, has been unanswered. "At this time you were on your va cation in Florida, and the file in some manner became up with some papers in the Book of Rules file, which was then and is now being revised, and was not discovered until today." LUTZ MAY GET LIFE TERM Convicted of 2d Degree Murder in Hertzberg Killing.

Frank Lutz, 27 years old, of 261 West Houston street, was convicted of mur der in the second degree by a jury be fore Judge Roy in the County Court today for the shooting of Reuben Hertzberg at 332 Pearl street, on the night of October 30, 1914. Lutz was re manded to the Raymond Street Jail until Monday, when he will be sentenced. The penalty for murder in the second degree is from twenty years to life imprisonment. It took the jury but two hours to arrive at its verdict. Lutz did not deny the shooting, but declared he had been forced to shoot Hertzberg in self defense.

James W. Redmond, who defended Lutz, introduced a number of witnesses to substantiate Lutz' story. Assistant District Attorney Everett Caldwell, who prosecuted the case, dis credited Lutz' story by introducing in evidence a letter Lutz had written to Lefty Dunn, telling him the story he was going to tell on the witness stand and asking Dunn to get several of Lutz pals to tell the same story if they were called as witnesses by the prosecution. "But you know this fellow, Crop- sey, the letter read. "With him' its case of all or nothing.

So I guess I'll have to stand trial, and I'll tell this story if it Is acceptable to you. LOCKED IN ROOM A WEEK Police Find Fossberg Family in Pitiable State. The plaintiff call of a woman in the third story window of the house at 5811 Third avenue, just after noon today, made Mrs. Wolf of 5809 Third avenue realize that something was wrong in the apartment and she at once called in a policeman. The offi cer, having summoned an ambulance surgeon went to the apartment and there had to break open the door.

Inside he found the family of Henry Forsberg, a carpenter, locked into one room, with very little food to eat and with tho three children nearly dead. Forsberg himself was lying in a corner on the floor, evidently unable to take care of himself, and Mrs. Forsberg, who had called for help was very wean when assistance came. Later she regained her strength long enough to tell the police that sho and her children had been locked Into the room with tho man for a week and that they had had only very little to eat during that time. Forsberg was taken to the Kings County Hospital for observation.

Yearly Rental for Extension of Dual System to Flushing and Whitestone. YtTF.S ASK RENEWAL. Railroad AImi Demands a 1'ro-Rutcd Payment for Grade Crossing; Diminutions. President Ralph Peters of the Long Island Railroad today presented to the Public Service Commission the terms under which the road would enter into an agreement with the city for the use of its tracks for the pro posed double extension of the dual system to Flushing and Whitestone. On the basis of a ten-year contract with a privilege of a ten year ne-newal.

President Peters said that the railroad would charge the city a year for the rental of its tracks and equipment privileges over the North Division and the White-stone Branch. Hut one feature of the contract proposed by President Peters which was not looked for at the Public Service Commission, and which came as more or less of a surprise, was in reference to a new basis of paying for the elimination of grade crossings. "All grade crossing eliminations carried otit under the statute," wroto President Peters, "during the term of the agreement, to be paid for in the usual manner. Seven per cent, of the amount expended by the Long Island Hailroad Company as its proportion of said eliminations, to be pro-rated on basis of cars handled and added to the rental charged per annum." It was pointed out that this would mean that, in addition to the share of these costs now borne by the city, a proportion of the Pons Island's share would thus have to be paid by the city. Although none of the Commissioners were yet familiar enough with the proposal to care to discuss it, there was an intimation that this feature of the road's terms might meet with considerable opposition.

President Peters, in his letter, first referred to the previous negotiations with the Public Service Commission in reference to a trackage agreement tinder which there would be a joint use of its tracus on two divisions. Then, he continued: "Putting this matter in concrete shape, would suggest that the agreement should provide for a trackage arrangement to cover a period of ten years, with the privilege of renewal for an additional ten years. Either party to have the right to terminate tne agreement upon three years notice. "Predicated on the facilities in existence at the present time, the rental charge for use of same to be $250,000 per annum. "Additional charges as follows: "Cost of operation and maintenance of Joint facilities, taxes and power consumed, to be charge pro rata on basis of cars handled.

"Any and all additional tracks, stations and other facilities required bv the Joint use, to be installed by the Long Island Railroad Company at its own expense, 7 per cent, of the cost of additional facilities to be pro-rated on basis of cars handled and added to the rental charge per annum. "The Long Island Railroad Company will reserve the news, vending, advertising and other station privileges." BULGARIA PLAYING "AUDACIOUS GAME" Rome Paper Makes Charge of Double Dealing Against Sister Nation. Rome, April 6 1'aris, April 7) Commenting upon Tirana's reply to Servia's protest grm.ing out of the Valandovo incident (the attack by Bulgarian irregulars upon Servian frontier guards) the Tribuna says the clash must have displeased the Triple Entente Towers, while reviving the hopes of the central empires and Turkey. The newspaper thinks that Bulgaria is negotiating with the Allies, while at the same time maintaining intimate relations with Austria and Germany. Bulgaria, hoping for a realization of the provisions of the treaty of San Stefano, the Tribuna declares, "is playing a most audacious game which may cause all sorts of susprises." The treaty of San Stefano, to which the Tribuna refers, was signed on March 3, 1878, at Kan Htefano, a small port on the Sea of Marmora, west of Constantinople, and put an end to the Russo-Turkish war.

Under its provisions a principality of Bulgaria was to be created, extending from the Danube to the Aegean; Roumania, Ser-via and Montenegro were recognized as independent. The provisions of the treaty twere greatly altered, however, by the Congress of Berlin, June-July, 1878. Some of the territory which Bulgaria was to obtain under this treaty was awarded to her as the result of the last Balkan wars. ALDERMEN JOLTED.

feoledness of 12-yenr-old daughter. Winifred stood beside her mother on the platform, and, oblivious, it seemed, of the fact that she was there to "show off." But, on the simple request of. her mother, Winifred did this: She recited in rhyme a "Life of Mozart" that she herself had written several years ago. Then she recited a Jingle about grammar that was also of her own composition. She gave, in F.speranto, the Mother Goose rhymes, "Ba, Black Sheep," "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin- Kater." and "Humpty Dumpty" and had the audience guess the rhymes.

Her Ri'ix-itolrp' a Marvel of Linguistic Authority and Memory. She reelted "The Quality, of Mercy' lines Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" in Esperanto, also. She told of "The House that Jack Built' in Esperanto; She repeatcdi for the ltrst "time since she Was 4 years old according to Mrs. Stoner, a delightful ly instructive rhyme about "The Great Arithmus- that' was requested by'one-of those 'She "Spoke a kittle I love you rhyme In three languages, She recited a rhyme about the "Bumble Bee," written when -she was 3 years old. and a jingle about whooping cough "The Whoopy Whoops written when she was S.

She sang, in German, tvo of the old Mothe, Goose rhymes. And, with It all, it was Impossible to lose sight for a moment of the fact that she was only a girl of 12. Mrs. Stoner told about some of the other things that Winifred could do and that had to remain undone today because of lack of time. The whole thing, according to Winifred's mother, was in finding the key to the child's mind.

"People think it's wonderful that Winifred knows the history of England, and of France, and of Germany, and has the dates down so exactly," said Mrs. Stoner. "Well, its no wonder at all. She has them all in rhyme, and in that way she can never forget them." Winifred was excused all too soon, from the viewpoint of those present. and Mrs.

Stoner went on with the ex- planation of the way in which she had achieved the present result with her was always an explanation for a pur- pose. She explained, in this connec- tion, that neither she nor Winifred ever read books at random, put always for a purpose. "This is the secret," Mrs. Stonfcti told her audience: "Do everything with a and do It with a smile on your face." "Don't Hilve Children, If You Can't Care for Them," Says Mrs. Stoner.

But Brooklyn also got an entirely new viewpoint from Mrs. Stoner today on a point that she had never touched on before. 1 In effect Mrs. Stoner came out as an advocate of race suicide, and her assertion brought a storm of ap- plause. "I believe it Is more wicked to bring children into the world and not bo able to care lor them properly, to have them without sufficient clothing and food and other things, than it is to go against the laws or nature and not have them, do not see why I should not say it.

But I wish that I had four children. I know (hat I could love all of them and care for them, and I believe that we should have children so long as we can love them and give them the things we have. What we need in the race is not quantity, but quality." In losing, Mrs. Stoner told the mothers present of the books that she believed they would find helpful With their children, recommending especially "Peter Rabbit," and in response to many requests for more knowledge, she announced that she would meet the teachers of Brooklyn all who cared to come and for whom there was room at ine Plaza Hotel In Manhattan on Fri-dav afternoon, between 3 and 5 o'clock. Mrs.

Stoner said that she would talk to the teachers for a full two hours on this occasion. RENTALS AT CEDARHCRST. Cedarhurst, L. April 7 Several Important summer rentals have been made by E. S.

Says She Docs Not Want With Her lather, If Will Aid Her. to He Live Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, April 7 Miss Christiana Bruce, the young Brooklyn woman who was found stranded in Washington last week, left for her home today.

Miss Bruce was placed upon the Pennsylvania train leaving Washington at 11 o'clock this morning by the Washington Board of Charities. Some time before she started she was asked: "Are you going back to Brooklyn if the authorities here provide you with railroad fare?" "Yes, I'll go back, but I will stay only long enough to make my father come to some arrangement about my future," she replied. "I am the only dependant he has, and he is well able to provide for me. I would like to make Washington my home, and may come back here after I fix things uy In Brooklyn." "Have you any relatives in Brooklyn other than your father?" "No, 1 have not," was her answer. "I have an aunt living in Lynn, but that is quite a jump from Brooklyn." Miss Bruce had been waiting to hear from her father, but had received no word.

"I don't want to go to his home." sho said. "1 do want him to provide for me because 1 am unable to do so myself. When I get to Brooklyn feel sure I can make him furnish mo with living expenses." The officials of the toberculosis hospital here say that Miss Bruce should be placed in an institution. Mr. Bruce could not be located this afternoon.

His landlady said that she was going out, and intended to lock the house up, so that when Miss Bruce arrives from Washington there may not be any one on hand to receive her. 3 OBITUARY Mrs. Sophia Blanken. Mrs. Sophia Blankcn.
