BELL OPPOSES AWARD. Commission, Recommends Purchase $752,000 After Expert Sets Value at $488,000, The trustees of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade will to-night take up the matter of the high price to be paid by the elty for a market site in South Brooklyn. The sum involved is $782,000, the amount that will be recommended by the Condemnation Commissioners, who make their final report next week, to be paid for the property, although Thomas Hovenden, of Chauncey Company, the eity's realty expert, swore the property was worth only $488,800. Located at the foot of Thirty-ninth street on the banks of the Gowanus Canal, the property is adjacent to that for which the B. R.

T. recently paid eighty cents a square foot, up to now the record price. It is only short distance from the new terminal site of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, acquired at a cost of 63 cents square foot. The city will be obliged to pay over 81 a square foot, it the recommendations of the mission be approved, Already the Corporation Counsel has filed objections to the preliminary awards, which are characterized by all ed real estate experta as entirely too high. The condemnation commissioners, Julian D.

Fairchild, George 8. Billings and Everett Greene, declare their awards are perfectly fair to all concerned. The property involved has a frontage of 376 feet on Gowanus Bay, and extends from Thirty-ninth street to a point midway between Thirty-seventh and Thirtyeighth street. It is said to be owned by the Catting estate, although the owner of record is John A. Murray, Before condemnation proceedings were instituted, it is sald to have been offered to the city at private sale for $727,936.

This offer was believed to be too high and was not accepted. South Prooklynites generally, while not wishing to delay the acquiring of the market site, for which the South Brooklyn and West End Boards of Trade have been working for years, are not backward in expressing it as their private view that the price to be paid is entirely too high. What action will be taken at the meeting of the trustees of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade to-night is not known. It is believed that the matter will be thoroughly discussed at a full board meeting to be held Saturday night. It is considered not improbable that the board may join with the Corporation Counsel to oppose the confirmation courts of the commission's recommendations.

AGREES WITH "THE CITIZEN." L. C. Eisenhut Says Editorial on Football Deserves Unstinted Praise and Wide Comment. To the Editor of The Citizen: Your editorial, "Football and the Colleges," in this day's issue of "The Citizen," deserves unstinted praise and wide comment. It surely merits reprinting by all honest and truely public-spirited newspapers and, periodicals throughout our broad land.

It is my humble opinion, verified by experience, that proper athletic exercise and truly manly sport is as essential in the- healthy department of the mind in a sound body as is proper food coupled with sound dietary methods. But plainly brutal sport, otherwise defined as ruffianism, can only work lasting injury to both mind and body. 1 In the development of these crude animal instincts we may look for the misconception of honor as honor strictly is--and the lack or absence of true business morality, the prevalence of which we have so much cause to deplore. Your editorial is a timely and wellapplied remonstrance against a growing public evil. Very truly L.

28, 1905. CRIPPLE KNOCKED DOWN AND KILLED BY TRUCK Albert Reimels, 19 years old, who lives on Three-Mile road, Jamaica, was arrested last by Officer Byrnes of the Gates avenue station charged with homicide. He was arraigned on that charge this morning in the Gates Avenue Court. According to the officer, Reimels was driving a partly loaded truck drawn by two horses along Sumner avenue at 6 o'clock last night. When he reached Jefferson avenue, near the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, Harry Hope, 35 years old, whose address is said to be No.

579 Myrtle aveque, attempted to cross the street in front of the horses. Hope is a cripple, with A club toot, and his progress across the street was retarded by his deformity. Reimels says the nearest animal struck him and knocked him under the front wheel, which passed directly across his body. The boy declared and several witnesses corroborated his story to the police, that he was driving slowly at the time. "If the horse hadn't struck, him," said the boy this morning, "he would have got clear.

But he was lame and couldn't go fast I suppose. I pulled up the horses as soon as I could and did all could to save hit." This was all Reimels could say, as he broke down with grief and horror at the thought of the accident. Hope was picked up alive and hurried to the Bushwick Hospital. He died sereral hours later from internal injuries. Reimels was arrested shortly after the accident by Byrnes, who appeared after the affair was over and to whom bystandars pointed out Reimels as the person responsible.

When he was arraigned in court today he pleaded not guilty. Byrnes spoke up in his behalf, and Magistrate Furlong, who was disposed to be lenient, held him in $1,000 until next Thursday. A friend furnished bail for the boy. BLAZE IN OPERA HOUSE WILL STOP SHOW TO-DAY "Jim" Fisk's Manhattan The- ater on Fire. MUCH SCENERY WAS BURNED.

Automatic Sprinklers Save Building, but "Prodigal Company Has Heavy Loss, The Grand Opera House, at Twentythird street and Eighth avenue, Manhattan, narrowly escaped destruction this morning, when a fire started in a pile of rubbish and refuse on the left aide of stage. Before it was extinguished the damage reached $5,000, and made the production of "The Prodigal Son" either this afternoon or this evening out of the question. How the fire started in not known. The superintendent of the building notleed smoke and turned an alarm. Before the arrival of the firemen the automatic sprinkling apparatus started, and to this, the firemen say, was due the saving of the bullding.

As the building I is old and the woodwork dry, the fire spread rapidly to the flies. Much damage was done to the rigging loft and to the gridiron, while many of the borders and drops used by the company playing there this week were burned. Almost all of the flats, wings and properties otherwise were saved. The Grand Opera House was built in the early sixties as the headquarters for the Erie Railroad, and was occupied by that company as such. In 1867 it was remodelled as a thenter, and in January, 1868, was opened with an Italian opera company.

For some time "Jim" Fisk was the proprietor and manager of the house. TWO INSTANTLY KILLED WHEN A ROPE BREAKS Michael Untner, a cooper, and his wife, Julia, gave Policeman Short lively experience in their home at No. 112 North Sixth street early this morning. Short went there with a warrant to arrest Untner charge of having assaulted. John Berg, a tenant in the same house.

Berg was recently married and his mother-inlaw. Mrs. Mary Simbo, lives with him. It is alleged that on Monday Mrs. Simbo had an argument with Mrs.

Untner and the latter beat Mrs. Simbo so severely that a physician had to be summoned. When Berg reached home Monday night and learned what had happened to his wife's mother, he proceeded to the Untners' rooms and demanded an explanation. It is alleged that Untner seized club and struck Berg several times. Berg also required the services of a physician.

Berg went to the Lee Avenue -Police Court yesterday and got a warrant for. Untner's arrest for assault in the second degree. Policeman Short was told that Untner could be found at his home late at night, When Short went there shortly before midnight he found Untner and his wife entertaining a dozen friends. Short was immediately set upon and driven from the house. He found two other policemen in the street and the trio returned to the Untners' rooms.

Untner, his wife and their guests had prepared themselves for another attack and they routed the police, Word was then sent to the Bedford avenue police station and Captain Pinkerton sent half a dozen other policemen to aid the three. When they reached the Untners' rooms the police discovered that the rooms were barricaded. The doors were smashed down and only Untner and his wife were found. The guests had all fled down the fire escape. Untner and his wife wese arrested.

was locked up on the charge mentioned, while his wife was detained on a charge of disorderly conduct. When the couple were arraigned in the Lee Avenue Police Court, to-day. Magistrate Higginbotham was told of Mrs. Aimbo's serious condition. He held the Unthers for a hearing.

SIX HORSES BURNED IN BERGEN STREET FIRE Six horses were burned to death in a fire which destroyed a stable in the rear of No. 1495 Bergen street, early last evening. In the stable were nine horses owned by the tenant of the building. Three of them were saved by patrolmen of the Atlantic avenue police station, wha got them out of the burning building by throwing wet blankets over their heads. The stable in which the fire accurred last evening was situated at the extreme end of the lot.

A second stable adjoins. it, with but a few feet between the side walls. The structure was rented by John Allen Peacock, a contractor, who lives at No. 1336 Prospect place. It is not known how the fire started.

It oceurred shortly after 7 o'clock. One of Desolo's children saw the flames, and ran screaming to, tell her father. The entire block is occupied by frame dwellings which are used principally by Italians. Within a few minutes after the fire bad been discovered the entire populace of excited, hysterical people were swarming about the spot, and the reserres of the police station were kept busy keeping the crowds back. It was feared that the flames might seize the other buildings, and a second alarm was sent in.

The residents of the neighborhood became frantic for fear their homes were in danger, and soon everybody was busily engaged in packing up and moving their household stuff from their houses to the sidewalks ready for instant departure. This incrensed the confusion under which firemen and policemen had to work. The damage was estimated at nearly $3,000. The dead horses are valued by Peacock at $2,000. NEW NURSERY OPEN.

THREE ELECTION INDICTMENTS. Prisoners at Penitentiary Not Fully Employed, They Say--Iron Stairs for County Buildings The Grand Jury handed in Indictments and made presentments this morning before County Judge Aspinall County Court, There were three Indietments for violating the election law, Deputy Attorney General Jones was in court. In discharging the Grand Jury Judge Aspinall said: "I desire to express my personal proval and to assure you that youthave the appreciation of the people of Kings County for the busy term you have spent. hare been actually in sexsion bat twelve days, and in that time you have accomplished very much. I would like to have you work with me for the full thirty days." The Grand Jury in their presentment touched on some needed reforms and commended the officers of the almshouse and hospital buildings in Flatbush.

The report, in part, is as follows: "At Raymond street jail we found the men's jail in poor condition, badly needing painting, whitewashing, and general overhauling. "The woman's jail WAR found in good condition, considering the age and construction of the building. It is. in our opinion, veritable fire- trap, and entirely inadequate for the purposes for which it is used. We would, therefore, recommend that sufficient appropriation be made to put the men's department in a sanitary condition.

That the number of keepers should be increased from eight, the present number, to'nt least fifteen, and that funds be provided for new fireproof building for the women's jail. "We found the almshouse, hospital and buildings at Flatbush in excellent condition, and all inmates provided with good care 'and all the necessities of life. The maintenance and care reflect grent credit upon the superintendent, officials and employees connected with this institution. would recommend that new building for a kitchen and a dining-room be erected adjoining the main building, avoiding the necessity of carrying food from an isolated building several feet distant. thus delivering the food in a cold condition.

"We would also recommend that the wooden stairways and platforms in the center of the main building be replaced by fireproof stairways, and an elevator be installed to facilitate the exit of inmates in case of fire. "At the Kings County Penitentiary we found everything in admirable condition, with the exception that the prisoners were not all employed to full advantage, and we would recommend that the city departments, as far as possible, give sufficient orders to this institution for such work as can be done by these prisoners as shall fully employ their "We found the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School for Boys the most interesting, as well as one of the most worthy and beneficent of the County institutions."

ARCHITECTS FAVOR PLAZA SITE FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY Are Enthusiastic Over the Artistic Possibilities. its of Hastings, the site architects, which have has been selected at the Prospect Plaza for 4 central, building of the Brooklyn Public Library, Considerable opposition to this site, which is advocated by Controller Grout, was manifested by the officials of the Brooklyn Institute and the controversy was finally submitted to Carrere and Hastings for decision.

They made their report to Mayor MeClellan to-day. In part, it is follows: "As to the artistic possibilities of the site we agree fully with Professor Hamlin, and share his enthusiasm, especially in view of the fine setting that this building would have, a consideration which has usually been deemed a negligible quantity in selecting a suitable site for a public building. "We do not feel fully in accord with Professor Hamlin as to the proposed height of the building, which we believe will be in better scale and in better harmony with its surroundings it maintained as to its principal features within a height of three, or, at the most, four stories. "Considering the size of the building in comparison with the New York Publie Library, after eliminating all the picture gallery and other spaces not used for 11- brary purposes, and with ample allowance for the remaining spaces, we are sure that the library can be housed within three stories and a basement. "This whole question can only be settied by the architect to whom the work will eventually be entrusted.

The probability is that the fundamental scheme of the New York Publie Library will induence the design of the Brooklyn Librgry, 88 it was the result of years of study by Dr. John S. Billings and the of the New York Public Library, consultatrustees, tion with the most noted experts in many foreign countries. It is claimed to be the beet system yet devised for the planning of a public library, and, as we elaim no credit for this feature, which was imposed upon us, we feel entirely at liberty to refer to it here "Though we are persuaded that site is ample in dimensions, and that the opportunity for artistic achievement is exceptionally fine, it would, nevertheless, be a mistake in our judgment to place the building on this site, unless the city is prepared to consider at the same time a study for the remodeling of the Plaza and its completion. "The next most important point to be considered, it such a building should be erected on this site, is its effect from the artistic point of view on the Plaza, the Park and its immediate surroundings.

"We believe that when it becomes necessary and advisable for the city to occupy any portion of park lands for a building site, that it ought to practically sell the land unto itself and the money received thereby to provide corresponding or greater park facilities elsewhere. "We think it unnecessary to dwell upon the important consideration of this site in its relation to the population of Brooklyn. its relation to the population of Brooklyn. It is unquestionably the geographical center of the city and fast becoming the center of population. It is already very accessible and will become gradually more so.

"It has been suggested to us that a building on this site would be architecturally a detriment to the completed Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. As long as the reservoir must be preserved, the buildings cannot possibly interfere with each other; but in planning wisely, the architect should look ahead and design his building so as to harmonize with the building of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences and the surrounding territory when the reservoir is removed, if ever. "A map showing these park lands and a block of the completed. Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in its relation to this territory is appended hereto. "We beg respectfully to suggest that the designing of the library the corresponding building on the opposite side of the entrance of the park on the one hand, and the remodelling of the plaza on the other, should not be treated, AS has so often been done, as two separate and distinct problems, but rather as one single problem to be solved by the architect who is to design the buildings in collaboration with the landscape artist.

"In conclusion, we therefore beg to report that in our judgment there is. no reason why this site should not be selected for the Brooklyn Publie Library Building, provided that the corresponding site on the opposite site of the entrance can be controlled and developed in harmony therewith, and provided that the design of both buildings is treated as a part of a scheme for the remodeling and completion of the entire plaza. "Our idea is not that the whole of thiswork should be done at once, but that it should be planned for so that the bowever gradual, may be according to a well conceived, co ordinate and com- ELECTED OFFICERS, At a meeting of the Municipal Ownership League of the Fifth Assembly District, held at the clubhouse, No. 270 South Ninth street, Inst, evening, the Executire Committee elected the following officers: H.
