Hughes should bo re-elected. This Is the second strong appeal which has been made to voters In Kings County this week by locul organisations. On Wednesday the Logan Club, of which Congressman William M. Calder Is the moving spirit, sent out a letter to every Republican In tho Twelfth Assembly District decrying the special Interests which are working to defeat the Governor and urging his re-election as a moral Issue. The appeal of the Young Republican Club follows: "Gov.

Hughes should be re-elected, because: His ability and integrity have been demonstrated for two yeurs, and are not now challenged. "2. When a man of his character is In public office he Bhould be retained as an inspiration to all who desire an honorable and impartial administration, and as a robuke to the forces constantly at work In both parties to discredit those principles.

The members of the committee were ad dressed by the local candidates, who urged them to do all in their power to overcome the Democratic majority in the district. Among the speaker were William E. Maglnn, William Boardman, candidate for the Senate; William Koehl. candi date for Congress, and Arthur L. Hur ley.

candidate for the Assembly. In part Mr. Maglnn said: "The Re. publicans should proud to hate as their candidate WUIIain H. Taft.

He Is qualified in every way to till tho of flee, and I believe he will make the greatest President the United States has ever had. "We can remember Bryan' policies of when all Intelligent persons were against him, and we have better grounds to vote against him now. Bryan has not guaranteed that he will not revive his measures of 1816. Those questions are what the prosperity of the country depends upon. Taft Is the man to make the country go forward.

He Is the man of the day and "Every citizen should admire Gov. Hughes. He sustained the Constitution of the State and performed his duties as only an honest man should. Temptations were laid In his way, and nine out of ten men would have fallen, but he didn't. He was beyond price, and therefore he should be sus tained.

Every honest man who falls to cast his vote for Hughes does not vote as his conscience dictates. "Gov. Hughes is not opposed to any man who conducts his business in a legal way, but he is opposed to gam hling. No man's personal liberty is at stake. That is only a humbug raised ty the opposition.

If a man like Gov. Hughes could have been found twenty five years ago, the lives of many young men would nave been saved and many famines would to-day be united. on Oct. so the club will hold a. mas meeting at Lincoln Hall, Court and De graw streets.

BOILING OIL CAUSES i DAMAGE IN LEAD WORKS.

The dream of Eastern District resi dents for year the establishment of a high school building for the young peo ple of that section became a reality last night when exercises were held marking the completion of the Eastern District High School Building, on Marcy avenue, from Rodney to Kcap streets. To properly celebrate the occasion suitable exercises were held which Included addresses by prominent members of the Board of Education. Tho exercise were held In tho audi torium of the building, which I probably the finest high school auditorium In the United States.

The Beating capacity was taxed, the galleries on throe sides being tilled to overflowing as well as the entire lower floor and stage. The exercises opened with a prayer by Cttnon imam enetue Chase, rector of Christ Episcopal Church, after which Rabbi 8. Raymond Cohen, of Temnle Beth Elohlm, Keap street, near Division avenue, read the scriptures. Then a quartet composed ot Arthur 8. Somers, Chorles R.

Georse Frelfeld. chairman or tne Committee on High Schools, who presided, mude a brief address In which he referred to the beauty of the building and the amount of care exercised In its construction.

He was followed by George W. Schnedle, chairman of the Committee on Buildings, who recalled the earnest efforts of the' Eastern District representatives on the old Board of Education to secure the building. "In 189. the needs of the Eastern District for higher education were first considered by the members of the old Brooklyn Board of Kducation hailing from the Eastern District." said Mr. Schaedle.

"We felt that the time had come when this section of the city must have its own high school. And resolutions to that effect were immediately drawn up and presented, only to be laid on the table because of the opposition of a few memtjers of the board. But we dian nnna tne disappointment, because we residents of the Eastern District were used to disappointments. I remember that It took us three years to get an asphalted street, and when we finally did get one, the residents felt so overjoyed that they held a celebration, had red fire, and several thousand citizens marched through the streets. "Finally the site for the high school was secured at a cost of Then began the work of erecting and equlp- Ing the hulldlng.

which cost an addi tional 5f.76.20S. The cornerstone was laid June 26. and the first assem bly of the entire school was held on March last." Before making wsy for the next speaker. Mr. Schaedle presented the trowel that was used in Ir-ylng the cornerstone to the principal of the new school, Dr.

William T. Vlymen. He also presented the keys of the new building to Egerton L. Wlnthrop, president of the Board of Education, who-ln turn gave them to Mr. Ftelfeld.

Later In the evening the latter handed over the keys to tfyclr rightful custodian. Dr. Vlyman. City Supt. of Schools William H.

Maxwell, the next speaker, compared the school situation of to-day with the situation twenty years ago, when be became superintendent ot the Brooklyn schools. At that time, he explained. there was only one high school In Brooklyn, sheltering 546 pupils. In one year that number was Increased by ten: while at the present time there are I5.J09 pupils attending high schools in this borough. Twenty-six years ago the average attendance in the local schools was 62.939, while at the present time It is 228.512, with prospects of a continual growth.

In conclusion. Mr. Maxwell said the sublect of hle-her education was becoming more and more of a factor in the work of education and he looked forward to a continued betterment of conditions. John Greene, vlce-nresldent of the Board of Education. alo made on ad dress, as did Mr.

On ths complulnt of the Twenty-eighth Ward Board of Trade and the Union "Course Board of Trade the Public Service Commission yestorday commenced public- hearing on the connections afforded by tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company at the Cypress Hills transfer point. Crescent street and Jamaica avenue. Incidentally the new elevated train schedule over the Williamsburg Bridge, was severely criticised. It wa alleged that Cdnarsle Is the only section profiting by the service.

Business people traveling dally between Manhattan and point between Cypres Hill and Jamaica clulm too few trains are operated between Delancey street and the Cypress Hills terminal. Commissioner Bassett conducted a hearing In the Commission'! public hearing room In the Tribune Building yesterday afternoon. The case against the railroad wa first laid before Commissioner Bassett by Albert Firmln, chairman of the Transit Commlttt of the Twenty-eighth Ward association. On the witness stand he explained fully the difficulties encountered In changing cars at the Cypress Hills junction. "Through personal observations," said Mr.

Firmln, "I have found that the chief difficulty arises from stopping the Broadway surface line before it reaches Crescent street, and the same Is the case with the Jamaica avenue which stops some distance the other side before reaching crescent street. There Is a long gap between tho two lines of cars, and those have a walk of more than a block. -This condition exists In all seasons ot the year, and In unpleasant weather is hardship on passengers. Holdays and Sundays It Is not uncom mon to se a constant stream of people 300 tn 350 foot long walking between the two lines." M. Shechan, secretary of the Twenty-elghtl) Ward Board, offered further testimony and made several recommendations to the Commission, He believes that relief could be obtained If the Broadway surface cars now running to Cypress Hills were op erated all the way to Jamaica.

Many of the Broadway cars end their trip at East New York, but Saeehan said that he and his friends would be content if only the cars now operating to Crescent street were sent through to Jamaica. The complaint considered yesterday was filed with the Commission last May, and on June date for hearing was selected. Commissioner Bassett explained that it had seemed advisable to let the matter rest through the summer months and take it up in the fall when the closed car schedules had gone Into effect. The Commissioner was Informed that Max Erdt-mann. president of the Union Course Board of Trade, was 111, and could not appear.

The hearing adjourned subject tp the call of the Commission. TRANSFERS A FRAUD, SAYS WINTER. An Interesting Interpretation of the term "through route," as It appears In the Public Service Commissions law, was offered by Edwin W. Winter, president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, yesterday. Mr.

Winter was called as a witness In the proceedings looking to the restoration of transfers between the lines of the Metropolitan system and the Fifty-ninth street' crosstown line In Manhattan, now going on before the Public Service Commission. He declared that a through route means one where only one car Is used, and that Instances where a transfer is made between cars are not through lines. "The transfer system," said Mr. Winter, "has become ftfraud and an excessive burden on FORECLOSURES. COL'NTT -COURT, KINUR COUNTY.

ftlCIIARDRilM. Referee MM't HI IIHTKIN. flelnllff's Attorney, S02 The work of stringing- the wires In forming the four big aiVi-lnch cables that are to support the main superstructure of the Manhattan Bridge is now hulf done and will be completed. It Is expected, by when the process of compressing and binding the strands Into their permanent position will begin. This wire strlnRlng Is now proceeding at the rate- of about 1U0 tons a day, and Is accomplished through a perfected system of cable stringing machinery Installed and operated by the Olyndon Contracting Company, erectors for the Carbon Steel Company, who hold the general contract for the production of the fine Btool in the cables and main brldgo structure, and who manufactured the acid steel for the cables and main span of the Williamsburg lTrldge.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Manhattun Bridge when completed wilt be the greatest suspension span in ths world, having a greater capacity than the monster Williamsburg Bridge and three times the capacity of the famous Urooklyn Bridge, all time records are being broken on this bridge, both in the production of its steel and in the work of construction. "Though the cables are much larger than those of ths Williamsburg Bridge they will be completed in one-third the time required in the construction of the A most unusual feature of the Manhattan Bridge will be the presence In its superstructure of tons of nickel steel, aggregating (00,000 pounds of pure nickel. The blending of this money metal was a difficult and task, but it was accomplished by the Carbon Steel Company in Its Pittsburg furnaces without the loss of a single "heat." This is the first tlma nickel steel hns been used in bridge construction and the order is the largest ever given for -structural purposes. Nickel steel has proven to be one ot the toughest products known to metal workers. The Manhattan Bridge, when completed on Jan.

1, 1910, will have a railroad traffic capnclty of 200,000 passengers arkhour one way, or 400,000 an hour east anTl west. Besides this. It will have a 85-foot roadway for vehicular traffic and two footwalka, the latter capable of carrying 24,000 pedestrians an hour east nnd west. The total length of the bridge, including approaches, Is feet and ths length of the main suspension span feet The four big cal-les, the longest in the world and 2V inches In diameter each, are composed of J7.SS3 galvanized open hearth, acid steel wires, having a total weight of 6,300 tons, and ft total, end-to-end length, of 23,000 miles. Each one of these wires hss an ultimata strength of 215,000 pounds to the square Inch.

The cables are subjected to a working load distribute upon the bridge of 60,000 pounds to tne square Inch and a congested load of 73.000 pounds. Tho steel suspenders which are to support the main bridge structure from the cobles weigh 8,000 tons. The steel towers are 850 feet high, 99 feet higher than the towers of the Williamsburg bridge They are built on masonry piers which extend 92 feet below the water level and 32 feet above it The largest steel plates In the towers, are 263 Inches long, 88 V4 inches wide and 4 Inches thick, each weighing 16.4GO pounds and having been rolled from an ingot weighing eleven tons. The suspended roadway of the bridge will bit formed by four trusses two air 24 feet In depth and 28 feet apart. with 40 feet between the pair.

A negro chase that barely escaped ending In a lynching last evening stirred the residential section around Atluntlo and Franklin avenues and required the eleyenth hour appearunce of the reserves from the Grand avenue station to save the life of the object of pursuit, William Hill, of west Twenty-seventh street, Manhattan, who, upon the arrival of the police was helpless, pluylng the part ot a human lootball with great success. Before Hill was run to earth, banged Into such a state as to be unrecognisable, and carried, bleeding profusely, to the bwedish Hospital by Ambulance-Surgeon Cttiy, he had emptied all the chambers of a calibre revolver, two of the bullets from which found lodgment In two of the men who had chased the negro through one of the most peaceful and best residential sections uptown. Henry Belllrikoff, of 1003 Myrtle avenue, a conductor on Bergen street car, and William Chant, of 650 Park Dlace. were the victims of Hill's mur derous Intent. Chant, however, by mll- llunt tactics Inflicted so much punishment upon the negro In the brief time that stood toe to to.

with him In a slugging match and later struggled with him as the two rolled over on the sidewalk that he carries a bullet wound In his leg to-day with little concern. HIH boarded a Bergen street car at Washington avenue. He took his position on the running board an when Bellnkoff spied him Jind demanded a fare the negro surlily refused to pay. He followed his refusal with much verbal abuse, until a passenger, wishing to avert a scene, sympathetically came forward and paid the negro's lare. Hill continued his mutterlngs.

however, and the climax came when he refused to get off the platform to allow the car to pass a truck at Classon avenue. When Belllnkoft remonstrated with him lie turned suddenly and something shining in his hnnd caused pas-' sengers to shout a warning to the con ductor. Bang! went the gun and Hill was off the car In a flash, followed by the conductor and all the male passengers. The chase led along Bergen street to Franklin avenue and down to Atlantic. At this corner Chant caught sight of the fleeing negro and as he passed him put out one foot neatly and tripped the colored fugitive.

Edward, Herman, chairman of Its committee on school. Going back into the time of the Dutch and New Amsterdam, he tate in his report: "Stone street derive Its name from the fact that It was-the first street on which pavement was laid.

According to tradition, the most unequal and jagged stones obtainable were strewn In the roadway, not 10 make travel com fortable, but to offer dangerous tooting for the Indiana In case they made a night attack on the city. But Btuyve- sant's Christian instincts prevailed against this Inhuman device to cripple the Indians and tne coDotesiones were taken up. in shame, and stored away for manv vears until they were sent over to Brooklyn, where they still serve to pave some of the streets. Of the first teacher Be says: "Adam Roelnnsten taught school for nine years, adding to his slender salary of S144 a year by tatting in family washing. He was always in trouble and frequently In tho courts.

Finally, when he committed some crime which seems to have been so bad that none of the historians feel warranted In printing tht facts, he gave up school teaching and became a successful politician." "The earliest schools In Manhattan Brooklyn and Queens can be traced back to the Dutch In the Bronx, to the English, and in Richmond, to the Wat denses and Huguenots. "Brooklyn's first Dutch school was opened on the 4th of July, 1661, in a little church which stood near the point where Bridge and Fulton streets now join. "Brooklyn means In Dutch "broken up" land, or "marshy land." This characteristic of the land 'is exemplified even to-day in the condition of the streets on either side of Public School 123, Suydam street and Wllloughby avenue. If the bid Dutchman who named Brooklyn could return to life and visit these streets he would have reason to be proud of his descriptive powers. "The first Bushwick school was open ed in 1C62, when there were scarcely twenty houses In the village.

Boude wyn Manout, who was appointed school master, conducted the school in a church near what is now the intersec tion of Bushwick avenue and Sklliman street. In' 1855, when Bushwick, Brook-lvn and WIlllamBburg were consolttiat ed. the Bushwick district school still stood on the same site where It was founded In 1662. The Dutch language was Included In the curriculum of the Bushwick schools until about 1830." i Coming down to date, he states: "Tour committee rot only believes It best to reduce the number of members of the Board of Education from 4fi to 15, but is firmly convinced that it would be the proper thing to elect the members of the board. They should be elected each year on the usual day of election with the other city officials.

The people are capable of electing their educational officers. It Is done In other cities, and the result has been satisfactory. It was the custom In thl cKy for twenty-nve years. It Is not clear why 46 men appointed by a May or who was placed In office by tne vote of about one-third of the citizens should be better qualified to supervise the De partment of Education than the same number of men elected oy ir.e people, Thn election wilnot make unsafe ten ure of office of tie teachers, as In the past, when we did not have a civil service eligible list."
