Scheme to Provide Better Climate for New York and Other Points May Be Looked Into. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, January 18-Based upon the plan of Carroll L. Riker of 575 Fiftysixth street, Brooklyn, Representative William M. Calder today Introduced in the House a bill which calls for the creation of a Labrador Current and Gulf Stream Commission.

The undertaking at first glance sounds almost romantic. It is no less a scheme than the conserving of the heat of the Gull Stream and or diverting the great Labrador current. which now flows down past the Newfoundland banks, and brings with it such great masses of ice as caused the destruction of the Titanic last year. Calder's bill calls for the appointment of a commission to consist of an officer of the Navy and two other persons to be appointed by the President, who are to consider the feasibility of causing an obstruction to the Labrador Current, where it passes over the Grand Banks. Mr.

Riker's plan contemplates preventing the encroachment of icebergs and fog upon the trans-Atlantle steamship course, a general effect upon the climate of countries in the Northern Hemisphere upon both sides of the Atlantic and possible effect upon fogs along the Atlantic coast of the United States, Canada and the British Isles. The sum of $100,000 is provided in the bill for the purposes of investigation. The Riker plan provides for the construction of a huge jetty of land extending from the southeastern point of Newfoundland for a distance of two hundred miles into the ocean, tapering from a width of forty miles at the shore end to three at its easterly extremity, and covering an area of more than one thousand square miles, where the water now rolls hundreds of feet deep, This is not to be filled-in land, according to the plan oL Riker, but is to consist of sediment now carried by the ocean currents, whose deposit will be inducted by a device which le proposes to use. Riker's Plan Calls for Creation of a Great Sandbar. Riker has a plan to create an enormous sandbar, principally by the action of ocean currents.

He says all that is necessary is to place all obstruction which will maintain a position a few inches above the constantly rising surface of material that now is deposited along the bottom. For this purpose, he would stretch a great rope cable, saturated with asphaltum and weighed, which would have just enough specific gravity to rest lightly upon the ocean bottom and have less specific gravity than the sand deposit. He would anchor it so that it would have free vertical movement but could not be carried north 01 south. This deposit-inducer, he believes. would cause the formation of an enormous sandbar.

which would gradually rise to the surface of the ocean and prevent the encroachment of the Labranor current upon the gulf stream It is admitted by the naval hydrographers, and every other student of oceanography that it is the Labrador current which brings into the trans- Atlantic lanes the icebergs which are an annual summer menace to navigation. "This jetty, when completed," says Mr. Riker, "would be just south of the Virgin rocks and the east rocks and would seem to be but the resurrection of the Virgin Peninsula, apparently the original coastal formation thereabouts. at no very ancient period. The United States Government charts show an erosion or increased depth over great areas upon this site to have been one-third, in less than twonty years, equivalent to the removal of a dam the height of a man reaching from New York to Chicago, through which clear space ice cold water is pouring along our coast where none passed twenty years previously, and which is increasing year by year.

If this is not chocked the climatic conditions along our coast will continually grow worse. "The increasing coldness of the waters in and about New York harbor and the more frequent and denser fogs thereabout, of which there is no question, are corroborative proof that this Arctic flood is actually upon us. and at the rate of Increase shown by the government reports referred to in detail in 'Power and Control of the Gulf Stream' fifty years will convert our coast into a semi-Labrador. This of itself is a serious matter and of sufficient importance to warrant investigation asked for. "The immediate effect of the jettv when constructed will be to comp'etely separate the Gulf stream and the Labrador current, conducting them to the deep waters the Atlantic at its end.

A short distance beyond, the ice-cold and saline bottom waters of the Labrador current w'll sink to the bottom of the ocean, from two to three miles deep. and pass under the Gulf stream southward. The lighter. fresher ice-laden surface of this current, pursuing the tendency of all light matter. will take an easterly course, paralleling the Gulf stream on the north until its ice is melted and its fresher water has mixed with the waters of the ocean." MOTOR TRUCK RAMS TROLLEY.

There was a collision between a motor truck, owned by Schultz Co. of Tenth avenue, Manhattan, and car No. 207 of the new line. known as the Brooklyn and River Railroad, which runs across Manhattan Bridge. The truck Hudson, rammed the car at the crossing a at Jay street and Myrtle avenue, but luckily none of the passengers were injured.

The two vehicles were badly damaged and many windows of the car were broken. NISSENS DINE FRIENDS. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, January 18-Mr. and Mrs.

The alumni of Boys High School held an informal dinner at the school last night. it was the fist to be held in the new lunch room under the Immediate supervision of the faculty, and the young men declared that as caterers the school teachers had little to learn. The spread was held in the teachers' luuch room.

It was served on small tables, SO that everyone might have a social time. Dr. Sullivan was the only speaker, and he took but a few minutes of the two hours devoted to the dinner. It was the idea of the dinner to get the alumni together, now that the new addition is completed and in full working order, to look things over, admire the new equipment and glory in the fact that Boys High is just twice as large as it was last year, and then resolve to awaken new zeal among the old graduates D. A.

Boyle, of the law department of the B. R. presided and told the alumni that they could do something for their alma mater. He thought that the time was ripe for a renewal of old school ties. was his idea that now the building has 30 many added conveniences it might be well for the alumni to be run from the school.

He suggested a large dinner to be given some time in the early spring, or in the summer, to which every alumnus should be invited. He then called for the election of officers for the year, which resulted in the selection of F. G. Lee, president; D. A.

Boyle, vice Robert A. Raiman, secretary and treasurer, and H. Tausk, corresponding secretary. Dr. Sullivan spoke of the good the alumni might do the school and noted some of the difficulties in the way of a strong organization.

After his remarks the, diners made a tour of the building. Among those present were: Dr. James Sullivan, Robert Raiman, Alfred A. Tausk, Francis Hughs, and Broderick Cohen, principal and teachers of Boys fligh. Others were Philip Barrian, Harry Williams, Walter Green, George Freeman, Warren Dooing, Joseph H.

Attaches of the Gates avenue police court are at a loss to explain what has occasioned a remarkable Increase in the number of arraignments this year, Mr. Finkel, docket clerk, remarked yesterday, that up to Friday noon the number' of arraignments since January 1, this year, was 372. During the entire month of January last year the arraignments wore 297. In neither instance are the summonses included in these figures. There has been no increase in the size of the court district.

This increase is surrising to many, in view of the steps Liken early in present administration to reduce the number of so-called petty cases. 8 and RENEW WAR HERE ON STORE GAMBLING Crusade Begins in South Brooklyn; Machines Are Found in Small Shops. ONE ARREST IS MADE SO FAR. Man Said to Have Supplied the Device to Shopkeepers Is Taken Into Custody. The police began war yesterday afternoon on gambling machines, to have been running for some time cald, small stores in South Brooklyn.

As a result, Eugene Gotthelf, 26 years old, of 302 Seventy-ninth street, was arrested on a warrant and arraigned, date yesterday, fore Magistrate Nash in the Fifth avenue court, charged with being the person who supplies some of the stores with the machines. Gotthelt was arrested by Captain Arthur Carey and Sergeant Muldoon of the Fourth avenue police station. The machine to which the police object are small, peculiar-shaped objects, with a small slot in the top large enough for the insertion of a 5-cent piece. The coin is placed in the slot and runs through a series of columns of small nails, going to the bottom. Should the coin happen to enter a hole in the bottom marked "Five the person that Inserted 1t would be given 5 cents in trade.

The highest amount of trade that can be obtained for the coin 15 25 cents worth, which is won only on rare occasions. The police assert the machines have a tendency to interest children in gambling and are determined to wipe them out. Two machines were taken from the store of Mary Gilroy, 326 Forty-sixth street, and more were taken from establishments at 5513 Fifth avenue and 311 Fifty-sixth street. Gotthelf was held in $1,000 bail for further examination Thursday. The specific charge against Gotthelf is violation of section 1372 of the penal laws, which takes in lotteries.

PHILHARMONIC TRIO CHARMS Concert at Academy Delights a Cultured Audience at the Lecture Hall of the Academy. The Philharmonic Trio concert last night had contrasts of quaintness and modern unrestraint, in a work by Joseph Haydn and one by Christian Sinding, respectively. These were a sola sonata for violincello and piano, by Haydn, and a trio for piano, violin and 'cello, by St Sinding. Beethoven's flat trio was a'so on the programme, beginning it. This was played smoothly and melodiously; Beethoven's wealth of tunefulness shows out strongly all through the trio, making it highly gratifying to the ear, when rendered as it was last night.

In the third movement, the interlude suggesting bird notes alternating with folksong-like melody, makes this part of the secre delightful, and in the last movement the work of the Philharmonic Trio was specially fective, the two divisions of the movement call for very different in eroretation. Alexander Rihm did excellent work in the mellow piano runs he introduced. The Haydn solo sonata for 'cello, with piano accompaniment, was played with rich and noble tone by Bedrich Vasca, the new member of the trio ensemble this season. Mr. Vasca is a strong ensemble player, but he is a solois, first and last, and his work in the adagio was unusually well sustained.

It suggests a li.tle Haydn's "Spirit Song." -The first movement has an agreeable action in it, and the third was made even rollicking, last night under the hands of the 'cellist and Alexander Rihm, who was the accompanist. The Haydn sonata was originally Sonata No. 3 for v'olin and double bass. 'The entrance of the Sinding trio on the programme was like a breezy tune from the north. This Norweglan composer's trio was in the nature of a bald, free sketch, very graceful and inspiring.

The announcing of the theme by the piano, and the taking it up by the other strings, time after time, produced an elfeet like the rising of winds and waves. and there was melody and descriptive sewing in the composition, which charmed the ear greatly. three 'music ans played finely, and the pianissimo parts in the piano score were noticeably clear and mellow. The violin and 'cello were clear and rich, respectively, in their giving out There are three movements to this work, "Con Brio," "Romanza," and "Allegro." Alarge audience attended the concert.

DR. F. W. MEAD DEAD. Vineyard Haven, January 18-Dr.

Frank W.

He was 74 years old. PROBE THREE FIRES IN TENEMENT HOUSE Series of Blazes in Washington Street House Is Undoubtedly Work of a Firebug.

BUT LITTLE DAMAGE DONE. After Family Moves Out, Fire Is Discovered in Three Rooms- Two Other Fires Follow. Fire Marshal Brophy spent two hours last night investigating the circumstances attending a fire that was discovered at 5:30 o'clock in the hallway of the fourstory brick tenement house nt 119 Washington street. It was platuly the work of an incendiary and was the third of a series of fires of the same acter that had occurred in the house within the last three weeks. Last night's blaze had been started in the hallway of the third floor, and it had gained such headway that it had scorched the wood wainscoting that lines the hall and stairs.

The carpet in the hall had been saturated with kerosene. The building is on the corner of Washington and Prospect streets, and is of the better class of tenement houses. The ground floor is occupied by a liquor store. Mrs. Tobin, the janitress, lives on the second floor; the third floor is vacant, and Mr.

and Mrs. Rauer, with their fam- ily, live on the top flat. The halls and stairs are carpeted, and each landing is lighted by gas. The third floor was tenanted until three weeks ago, when the occupants, a French moved out. On the day of their flitting, after they had gone, fire was discovered in three of the vacant rooms.

The flames were found in time, and the fire was put out before much damage was done. Up to that time the vacant rooms had been open, but Mrs. Tobin had keys fitted to the doors, and she believed that there would be no more trouble from incendiaries. But last Monday afternoon there was another fire in the house. It Was in the hallway this time, outside of the locked doors, and in a corner against the wainscoting.

Mrs. Tobin found that the carpet had been soaked with sene oil. No kerosene is used in the building and the Janitress, satisfied that someone was making a determined effort to burn up the building, reported her discovery to the police of the Fulton street station. The fire last night was in another corper of the hallway, and it was started just in the same way; the carpet was saturated with oil and the flames had spread to the wainscoting near the dumbwaiter. If the outbreak had not been 80 speedily discovered it is plain that a serious fire would have resulted.

The discovery was made by Sadie Tobin, the little daughter of the janitress. The child had been out on an errand for Mrs. Rauer of the top floor, and was on her way back when she made the discovery. While she had been out Mrs. Tobin had lighted the hallway gas throughout the house, and Sadie was surprised to find that the Jet on the third floor had been turned out.

But she went boldly up until she saw the glow of the burning woodwork. she ran downstairs screaming, "there is a fire again!" wink since Monday, was on alert. Mrs. Tobin, who had hardly, slept 2 She satisfied herself that the child was not mistaken and then she got. dishpan full of water and drenched out the flames.

That done, she reported the matter to a policeman who was on post near by, and then the Fire Marshal was summoned. "I have not an enemy, as far as I know. in the world, and I cannot tell who would do this dastardly thing," said Mrs. Tobin. an intelligent Englishwoman, in discussing the fires last night.

There is not a person in the house who can sleep since this began." HAVEN'T GOT JOBS YET. Jannicky and Fennell Now Threaten Supreme Court Proceedings. No further developments had come to light yesterday 'n the efforts of the newly appointed Democrats, Charles, W. Jannicky' and Abraham Fennell to secure their clerkships in the Second District Municipal Court. Late Friday afternoon the new appoin- tees walked into the Second District Court and made formal demands for the jobs now held by the Republicans, John Heulgin, Jr.

and Edward L. Stryker, who claim their terms are unexpired. Justices Farrar and 1 Freifeld received the belligerent visitors in an anteroom and a after listening to their plea, refused to dismiss the present incumbents.

Swascy, Republican leader of the Seventeenth Assembly District, who has been suffering for some time from an abscess near the base of the brain, was reported resting comfortably at his residence 42 Herkimer street last night. It was thought for a time that an operation would be necessary, in order to releive the acute suffering of the lican leader, but his condition last night shows such marked improvement that this will probably be postponed.

Church, Court and Congress sts, where a solemn mass of requiem will be offered for the repose of his soul. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery, Albany, January 18-Foulke E. Brandt, former valet of Mortimer L. Schiff of New York, who was conditionally pardoned yesterday by Governor Sulzer, contributed his share to make the case a closed Incident, He voluntarily destroyed the confidential letter he had written to United States Senator Nelson of Minnesota, containing alleged slanderous ments, which he publicly retracted yesterday and which formed part of the record that was before former Governor Dix, when he denied Brandt's application for clemency. "Brandt denied to me substantially eveything in the letter," said Governor Sulzer today, "Attorney General Carmody advised me that the letter was not rightfully a part of the record and ought not to be in it.

"When Brandt talked with me at the executive chamber Thursday night I told him of the op.nion given mlle by the Attorney General, and returned the letter to him. I then left him with Owen La, Potter, my assistant legal adviser, for the purpese of putting 111 writing anything he had to say. Mr. Potter informed me on Friday that Brandt had voluntarily destroyed the letter in his presence. "The letter, wnich was in the executive chamber was a aupucate of one sent to Senator Nelson.

The original was destroyed by the Senator." The Governor said he first planned to exile Brandt from the country, but changed his mind when the young man asked the privilege of "making good" before returning to his parents in Sweden. "He told me," expiained the Governor, "that he had had some trouble in his native country when a boy, and did not want to return at this time. Senator Nelson also requested that he be permitted to remain here and volunteered to be sponsor for him." Senator Nelson told Governor Sulzer that former Governor Lynn of Minnesota had agreed to Brandt. Governor Sulzer said he had received telegrams from various parts of the country congratulating him upon the "happy solution of the Brandt case." FRATERNTY MEN DANCE.
