O'Brien announced to-day he had been informed by Controller Charles L. Craig that the city is ready to approve the Dreamland Park awards. This property was acquired by the pity eight years ago by condemnation proceedings, and the controversy over the awards has been pending ever since.

It was finally deeitted to appoint a new commission to take under con POLICE SEEK MEN WHO 'ATTACKED GIRL Arrest of Soldiers Who Made Brutal Assault on Young Operator Expected. Detectives of the Coney Island station are leoking for two soldiers knon only as "Dick" ano "Jack." who early this morning led Margaret Kwen. a telephone operator, 16 years old, of 969 Belmont avenue, to a secluded spot near the elevated structure at Brighton Beach, and i made an unsuccessful attempt to as- sault her. The girl is in a serious i condition to-day her home, suffer- ing from shock. According to Mi.s Even's story as told to Detectives Ryan.

Blake and i Robinson, she. in company with two other girls, met the two soldiers in SteeDlechase Park yesterday after- noon. They remained together until midnight, when the Ewen girl ex-Cpressed a desire to go home, but said she didn't know the way te the sta-tion. The soldiers promptly volun- teered to escort her to the train, promising to return to Steeplechase after the other two girls. Taking a route leaning aiong oui avenue, the Bowery and Ocean Parkway, the trio came to the boardwalk at Brighton Beach, which they followed for a considerable distance.

They finally left the walk and proceeded toward the Brighton Beach IV" structure. When the structure was reached, the soldiers attacked the girl. A one-sided struggle followed during hich the girl was badly beaten and her clothing torn to shreds. Frightened by her screams, the soldiers finally ran away. In a hysterical condition, she was -ticked up on the boardwalk by the detectives and taken to tne station father called for her i 4 A Frank Clemmons, w-ho lives at Brighton Beach, found the girl's shoes, hat.

I I I I I i The waving of flags against the background of color furnished by the decorated buildings along the line of march and the throwing of flowers on the ranks of the marchers went toward making a picture that will long be remembered. From. the feeblest.

medal-bedecked and grizzly warrior who fought in the time of Lincoln down to the youngest member of the 106th Infantry, the occasion was one of supreme elation. From the time the line got under way at Bedford and Division avenues until it passed the reviewing stand at Prospect Park Arch, where it passed before Gov-Smith and other officials, its progress was one of triumph. Each year the number of Civil veterans dwindles and to-day not more than a score were able to make the journey on foot. The old dark blue uniforms and small peaked caps had been properly pressed and brushed for to-day. and the appearance of the men as they went along unsteady of step, and some bent with age, aroused wild enthusiasm among the thousands gathered on the sidewalks.

Following close on the heels of the older veterans came the men who served in the United States Arm during the Spanish War. Their ranks were filled for the most part and they were given a Jiearty reception as they passed in review. While the cheers of the multitude were spent to a considerable on the Civil War heroes, the "kid veterans, as one old-timer referred to them, were enthusiastically greeted. To thos'-who have wir nessed Memorial Day parades for 3. score or more of years it seemed unusual for pink-cheeked, bright-eyed lads, marching erect with a sprightly step, to be numbered among the veterans.

Yet they werj there Brooklyn's offering to the last conflict for freeftom and democracy. The 10th Infantry Post members, heading the American Legion contingent, were greeted with plenty of applause. As the column drew opposite the Hanover Club, at Bedford avenue and Rodney street, a dozen prett' girls dressed in white rushed into the roadway and pelted them with flowers. It seemed as if a big percentage of Brooklyn's population was on hand to honor the men who passed, many not unscathed, through the three last wars. Long before the time scheduled for the parade the streets along the line of march were filled.

Most of the persons carried small American flags and bouquets which were thrown to relatives or friends os they went by. The veterans, with Boy Scouts and other patriotic organizations, assembled at the fountain. Bedford avenue and Division street. Grand Marshal Silas Brink and his aides, Robert Forfar, H. C.

Draper and Hary B. Baldwin, at once proceeded with the work of formation. A crowd of several thousand had gathered at the starting point and it was kept in order by police reserves from many precincts, under command of Borough Inspector Thomas H. Murphy and Inspector William Boettler. The men were only a few minutes in forming and promptly at 9 o'clock the line began to move.

At the, Kan-over Club, where the official grandstand was located for many years, a number of members and their rrlends were on the baicony and lawn to cheer the marchers. The Congress Club and the Fourth Assembly District Republican Club, which are opposite one another at Keap street, were filled with persons. Vhe men marched down Bedford averrae all but the Civil War vet-ternns. who, unable to stand the walk, rode in carriages and automobiles profusely decorated with flags and bunting and flowers. At St.

Johns place the line turned and went through that thoroughfare to Flatbush avenue, where another turn brought the column to the arch at Prospect Park, where the State and City executives, with many other I mlnent citizens, stood with un-co-ered heads-as the men In blue and khaki filed past. The last of the parade passed the reviewlnir stand at 11:45 A. M. After marching under arch the paraders disbanded. In the reviewing stand were Mayor Hylan, in a new silk hat; Oov.

POWER HOUSE STRIKE CONCEDEDA FIZZLE Union's Efforts to Call Walkout of B. R. T. Electrical Workers Fail, Brooklyn's latest strike seems to have missed firs. The efforts to call out the electrical workers of the B.

R. T. are now conceded to be a failure by workers in the employ of th traction company, and the walkout ordered by Local SO of the International Brotherhood of Electrics 1 Workers will be forgotten in a week. without any resultant damage to the company or gain to the workers. A review of the situation, and remarks dropped by several union, lata In a position to know.

Indicate a complete defeat for the men. According to -the unionists, the strike ts still on, but one could never teii by the way the traction company in operating its cars that there was any labor trouble on the system. A visit to the biggest power house of the company to-day showed every, thine to be running In perfect order. This condition prevailed at all the other plants. It is the contention ot the unionists that these plants are beir manned largely by members of tho supervisory tore ot the company and that these men cannot hold out beyond to-day or to-morrow, at the latest.

It is quite correct that ther are some members of the supervisory-force of the B. 'R. T. at these st ations, but the work ts bMng done by the regular workera. The company has been pitting a number of exlr trains on the- elevated and mbirav lines, as an answer to the threat the that the system wouvt soon be tied up.

Sauier has made a report to Mr. O'Brien, in which he states that Col. Beecher believes that the aggregate awards for parcels 1. 2 and 3 should be $500,000 less than those of the first commission. The other two commis-! sioners disagreed with Col.

Beecher, the report states, and the figures now presented represent a compromise. City Accepts New Figures. Justice Mills in writing his deci-; sion on the original awards expressed the opinion that the awards for 1, 2 and 3 were about $500,000 in excess of the value of the property, the report states. The report further states that the present figures are the best the city can secure as the appointment of a third commission would involve the danger of even higher awards. Mr.

O'Brien has sent a copy of this report to Mayor Hylan and the Mayor urged that it be submitted to Controller Craig for his opinion. Mr. O'Brien stated he had reserved the O. K. of the Controller to the plan and O'Brien will move for a confirmation of the awards in the Supreme fc-irt in the near future.

WDMffl EiS LIFE Ifi TRAGIC MANNER Mrs. Mittendorf Slashes Throat and Leaps From Third-Story Window. Mrs. Mollie Mittendorf. 40 years old, suffering from a nervous break-do" n.

When Mittendorf arose he was surprised when. his wife failed to respond to his call. He went to the kitchen and was horrified to see the blood on the floor. Without waiting to investigate, he hurried across the street to Gates avenue police station and reported "something terrible" had happened to his wife.
