Mets, defeated candidate for Controller, waa ao aura of his election at 10 o'clock last night he made a statement at the local Tammany Headquarters In the Jefferson BaUdlng. 'n which he aald the first thins he would do as Con troller aould be to open the doors wide on Broadway and admit the public.

He said that there would be no star chamber proceedings and that all persons would be able to see the Controller without first passing their cards to about ten lackeys. He greet ed Congressman John J. Fitzgerald. who was assisting In the tabulating of the fleures by saying: "Well. John.

I am sorry, to leave you. but I suppose it for the best. By this he meant he would have to resign from Congress. Mr. Mets also made the statement that he- looked upon the defeat of McCail as a smash at Tammany Hall.

He said the defeat of the Mayoralty candidate could be looked upon in no other way. This was before Mr. Mets realized he was beaten himself. After making these statement? he left for his headquar ters at Broadway and Forty-third street. Manhattan, where he received the final returns.

He did not come back to Brooklyn. Deputy Tammany "Boss" John MoCooey received the returns at his home la Pacific street.

Mr. Connolly has been elected In Queens and Mr. McCormackn Richmond, but the great thing Is that the executive head of the city and control of the great appropriating body of the municipality have been saved from the rapacious clutch of Tammany Hall. "The election of Mr. Mltchel not only means cleaner politics In this city, but it means a revived and purified Democracy.

Tammany Hall, as it has always existed, can never come back. I know Tammany Hall has been beaten often, but has always coma back. But it is different now.

The task which now invites the real Democrats of this city la the rebuilding and reorganization of their own party in this State so that Democrats may have a party "here for which they do not have to blush be fore all the world. And that task we may be assured will be promptly taken up and thoroughly performed. "As for the coming administration of the City Government, every good citizen has cause to rejoice that such splendid and patriotic men have been selected to carry it on. Mr.

Mitchel is young, fearless and able and I predict he will be a nijjmorable Mayor. And the city is Apeclally fortunate that we are not to lose the rgervlce 0f 8UCh men as Mr. McAneny and Mr. Prendergast. Their defeat would have been a public calamity.

"I would like to add Just one word. Much has been said About he bitter ness of the campaigns I would like to remind the public for In the noise and excitement that fact may have been overlooked Mr. Mltchel, Mr. McAneny and Mr. Prendergast have Indulged In no personal animosities or unpleasant personalities.

The doubling in size of the Hotel Bossert, at Hicks and Montague streets, by adding the portion provided for In the original plans extending to Remsen street, gives a stately and dignified structure that equals anything of similar character In the entire city. The change that has been effected since the old Plerre-pont House gave way to this entirely Umodern twelve-story steel structure marks the advance of Brooklyn since the Introduction of subway transit. In like manner the Hotel St.

George marked the progress of the develop ment on this side of the East River following the construction or the Brooklyn Bridge and It too is now enlarging its borders and is having constructed a notable addition at Pineapple and Henry syets. This Is eight stories In hetifTit and will add to aonsiderabledegrce to the capacity orHhls hostelry, which now covers nearly the entire brock bounded by Clark, Hicks, Pineapple and Henry streets. The diversified architecture of the sections erected at different times, prevents the structure fr making manifest Its gVeat size or from presenting an Imposing architectural effect, but this does not militate against its comfort and convenience for hotel purpose a By the construction of a new en trance to its edifice at Clinton and Plerrepont streets, the Brooklyn Savings Bank has returned to Fulton street, where it was formerly so marked a feature when its building, still standing at the corner of Con cord street, was occupied for banking purposes. The new Pulton street entrance to the banki comes out nearly opposite Johnson street and takes In a frontage long occupied for business purposes. The banil building, erected more than a score ol years ago.

occupies what was oncethe site 6f the First Baptist ChurctX In Plerrepont street, now Baptist Telpple, at Schermerhorn btreet and Third avenue. Before the church thaf was taken down had been erected there, a previous structure had occupied the site. known at that time as the "Church Edifice." and used for public purposes. It hal been built for a Baptist congregation, which "later consolidated with the First Church In Nassau A noteworthy addition to the busi ness buildings in the vicinity of the Borough Hall is the hew 12-story structure at the southwest corner of Court and Joralemon streets. This rivals In height its neighbor on the opposite corner, which bears the name of Temple Bar, and the Me chanics' Bank Building at Montague.

Court and Fulton streets. The new structure Is rapidly being enclosed with stone walls, supported by the steel framework, and it Is a site conveniently near the public offices in this borough and readily reached from all the public buildings In Manhattan by the subway, whose station is close to Its entrance. The fine new eight-story structure of the Union Gas Company, adjoining its present office in Remsen street. Is nearing completion, and soon its offices will be added to the quota In that block of what was on of the finest residence parts of Brooklyn, now nearly altogether given over to business structures, either new or remodefcd from the former residences. The O'Connell and otKersj buildings of similar character opposite the Gas Building indicate the tendency to transform the entire block for business use Just as was done a few years sgo with Montague street.

The plan for the erection of a 16-story structure on the site of the old Dime Savings Bank, at Court and Remsen streets has not been abandoned, and would doubtless long ago have been carried out If the atte were only a little longer, so that elevator room could be had without encroaching ton much on office space. While no new churches are bclnp erected in the Heights Section, there Is going up the most notable structure for religious uses in the entire borough at Hicks and Orange streets. This is the Arbuckle-Beecher Memorial, for the social and settlement work of Plymouth Church, which has just celebrated the centennial of the birth of Its Henry Ward Beecher. The relatives of the late John Arbuckle provided the means, some 1350.000. for the joint tribute to his memory and that of Mr.

Beecher. of whom he was a staunch supporter. Ever since the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwlght Hiilis became pastor of Plymouth Church, more than a dosen years ago, succeeding Dr.

Lyman Abbott, who fllied the pulpit and his editorial chair as well for ten years he ha entertained the Idea of establishing a memorial to Mr. Beecher Jn proximity to Plymouth Church The Arbuckle gift has enabled this plan to be carried out by providing the building for carrying on the sociological work of the churchi In a downtown district and to create a shrine between It and the church edifice, where with statues and-. emblemic deslms the memory of the great Brooklyn preacher may be permanently honored. The first plan for a Beecfwr memorial in the vicinity of old Plymouth, provided for the purchase of property on the opposite side of Orange street and this -was secured, but with the Arbuckle Memorial plans that property was sold to a builder and aparo-ment are being erected on iL Other apartment structures are rising In different sections of the Heights and when the new subways to go under the East River from this section are completed. In two or three years, with two new stations more conveniently located than th present one, it is expected that every available plot will be tn demand for apartment house construction and that th majority of the private residence remaining In thfa part of the borough will give way to new buildings designed for many familiea Practically all th other will boarding house for the great new population drawn to thlsart of th city by convenient mean of transport to verr other section, A aTOOI hn mtnmv tv atAnf Jt w.

Even Good Teachers Need Encouragement, He Says. "The same Judgment ought to hold In judging the classroom work, the supervisor and the curriculum," said Prof. Frank M. McMurry, of Teachers' College, Colombia University, yesterday afternoon, when closing a lecture on "Application of Standards for Judging Supervision by Principals and Superintendents," In the lecture hall. Academy of Music, It waa the last of six J3fook-lyn Institute lectures and conferences on "The Course of Study in the Elementary Schools." In a previous lecture.

Prof. McMurry had spoken of a. recitation before a teacher whom he called "Mr. Lee." upon which a class In Teachers' College had been called to pass, acting in a supervlsal capacity. The lesson which the teacher presented was on the question, "How are the Philippine yal-uabie to At a later date, Mr.

came Defore the supervisai class for criticism. Each member had something to say to him, but Prof. McMurry chose the remarks of the first two lor comment 4-o. N-o1" made compn of vUw. and could not away from the plained that Mr.

Le did not come for a lecture. The supervisor hould not lecture, for one reason, because be does not know all th facta which lrfduce th teacher to use a method In teaching. The teacher, knowing these facts. nay very Justly disagree. In compsrrl-on of views, one ego Is pitted atralnst another, which is not good, though in this case th supervisor was commended for preserving a friendly relationship which led to pasaiit feeling.

The supervisor Is the teacher or the teacher. He can't teach the teacher otner man as or io muut teach. The principle of education at th same their tn -the teacher a they are In their ap-pucmnon m. th larger system It 1 often a case of authority with the supervisor. But it isn't rightly a of authority." said Prof- McMurry earnestly: Jit Is a cas of ducUonal that It Is the fluty of th iir.ai and supervisor to help the teacher when they teach.

Mr. McMurry asked: "Who is on trial?" and "I have often seen thm offer criticism wurroui in ugnir.u of th fact that they were themselves blng tted." Then he added, with Just a glimmer cf chang of expression. "Suppose th teacher happens to a good on. Then th test is one that the principal or super would better not subject him self to." Bom principal leav good teachers to thmelvee In their teaching. But Prof.

McMurry aald that the good one need encouragement. He told ot a supervisor here who works with hi poor teachers through his good ones, saying that this should an excellent way where there ar many poor teatchers In a system. Returning to the subject of the recitation. Prof. McMurry, gave as his own supervtsa) tha th asking "Mow ar th Philippine valuable to us?" suggested a selfish point ox view to ins ciaaa ana on that th position of th United State i kino- countt.

SUBSCRIBERSTOVOTE Opera Committee Starts Referendum on Metropolitan Sea- son in Brooklyn. 'JULIEN" NOT ON LIST.

"Rosenkavalier" the Novelty; "Carmen' Revived. Brooklyn subscribers are to have a voice In deciding the repertotre of the Metropolitan Opera Com pany at th season of fourteen operas to be presented at the Academy of Music. The project of a ref erendum vote on this question seems to be a fixture as the newest move on the part of opera managements to Popular approval of their of- ferlngs. The Century Opera Com- an offshoot of the Metropolitan, determined the list of operas by this method. Brooklyn subscribers are now asked to state their preferences in similar manner.

The Grand Opera Committee ha mailed to each subscriber a circular letter wtth a card as enclosure. The letter requests that on the card the fourteen operas most to the liking of the patron be marked with an X. The opera to be chosen must be taken from the following list: Damrosch, lXnniietti, "Lrticla dl Flotow, Gounod. "Faust--; Oluck, Humptrdtnck, "Hansel und Gretel," "Koenlgskinder'; Leoncavallo.

Including those to permit the State to borrow $50,000,000 for the Improvement of highways and the amendment permitting the city to increase its borrowing capacity from 7 to 10 per with the municipal loan of 18.600,000 for the purposes of subways, elevated lines and various other Important' Improvements, were approved by the voters.
