PLANS IN MUDDLE AS OFFICIALS DODGE ISSUE OVER SUBWAY Board of Estimate and P.

S. Commission Both Disclaim Responsibility. TWO LINKS WAIT DECISION. Transit Connections Cannot Be Built Until Question of at Borough Hall Is Settled. The dispute over the third-tracking of the Fulton street elevated road has resolved itself into a hopeless muddle.

Public Service Commissioner Willlams said today that it was up to the Board of to decide whether the "L' or go. patimate, Aldermanic President McAneny, chairman of the Board of Estimate's transit committee, says the decision must come from the Public Service Commission. With both bodies dodging responsibility on the main issue, the plan to remove the lower Fulton street to Adams street continues to lie on the table, with no action being taken or in immediate prospect. While the officials wrangle, a new appeared in the situation tofeature, Commissioner Williams said that the failure to act on the Adams street removal had been delaying work on two of the most portant connecting links in Brooklyn's new subway system. These the section of the Interborough's new subway running under Fulton street, connecting the new Clark tunto Manhattan with existing line at Borough Hall, and the section of the R.

Willoughby street which runs underneath Fulton street at Borough Hall. "The engineers have been waiting quite a while already," said Commissioner Williams, see what is to be done with the Fulton street elevated at Borough Hall. They have been unable to go ahead with their plans because they did not know whether the 'L' would remain or not. Special underpinning is necessary if the 'L' is to stay permanently." From later inquiries it was made evident that the contractors have decided not to wait for any decision on this question. Major O'Rourke of the Flinn-O'Rourke Company, which has the contract, said he was 3oing right ahead and underpin, anyway, so there would be no more delay.

It is more than two years since the fight against the third-tracking was started, and it was still further back when the plan to remove the lower section of the Fulton street "L' to Adams street was put under way, SCOTT CHARGES DISMISSED Brown Family Troubles Are Aired in Freeport Court. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. July 7-The charge of grand larceny made by Mrs. Leila R. Greer against McClelland Scott of North Main street was dismissed by Police Justice C.

M. Flint yesterday. Mrs. Greer has made a charge of juvenile delinquency against Miss Hazel Brown, 15 years old, and this case will be tried today. Mrs.

Greer occupies a house owned by Alfred H. at 150 Main street. She asserted" that last week Scott, who is Brown's brother-in-law, and the girl, who is in the custody of Brown's wife, from whom he is separated, entered the house and stole goods worth $300. Hazel testified that she merely removed some of her own clothing. The domestic troubles of the Browns received an airing in the course of the hearing.

MAY DISMISS COMPLAINT Torn Up Streets Causes Delay in Trolley Service. The complaint of residents of Ozone Park, that the Long Island Electric Railway Company is furnishing an inadequate service on its Brooklyn-Belmont Park Division, will probably be dismissed by the Public Service Commission. Commissioner Williams heard testimony with reference to the complaint today. Supervising Transit Inspector Bennett said that he had made a thorough investigation of the complaint as well as the service furnished by the company. He admitted that sometimes there was considerable delay in the operation of the cars.

But he said the city had the streets torn up for the purpose of laying sewers, and this undoubtedly was an important factor in causing the delay which the people in that section complain of. After he concluded, Arthur Peacock, counsel for the railroad, moved for a dismissal of the complaint. Commissioner Williams indicated that he would take this recommendation under advisement. NO MORATORIUM HERE New York Supreme Court Bars Belgian Debt Extension. A decision was rendered today by Justice Delehanty in the Supreme Court, granting Judgment in favor of Goldmuntz Brothers, diamond importers, of Manhattan, against the firm of Baumgold Brothers, local diamond merchants, on a bill of exchange for the sum of 37,855 francs.

The defendents had refused to pay because of a moritorium in Belgium, where the instrument WaS payable. This, they contended, suspended the payment of all obligations on Belgium instruments until the end of war. Judge Delehanty held that the Belglum moritorium was for the benefit only of persons residing in provinces of Belgium occupied by the enemy, and ns the defendants were residents of New York, they could not seek its protection.

697 THIRD AV. Tel. 1600 South Mortuary Chapel, 695 Third Av. SEEN BULLDOG? Missing for Reward for His Return. Has anyone seen "Krueger" is a dog--a dog among a million.

Neither "Rab," nor "Bob, Son of Battle," was more of a hero to his friends than "Krueger," property of Walter R. Griffiths of 276 Marlborough road. You might recognize this exceptional dog through the circumstance that he is a white bull terrier with one black ear. That "Krueger" is no ordinary dog may be gauged from this: Mrs. Griffiths, who has no children, and to whom the dog has been an inseparable companion, has sacrificed her health in the effort to recover her dog.

She has declined to move into the cottage which the family have taken at Lake Ronkonkoma until the fate of "Krueger" is known. She has offered a reward of $50 for his recovery. "Krueger" disappeared on June 2 when decorators left the rear door open. In about time it take him to whisk his tail he was moola. DENY SECRET DEVICE TO DEFEAT CENSORS Sayville Censor Says No Such Invention Has Been Used There.

(Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. July 7-The suggestion made yesterday that a device invented by Dr. Kitsee of Germantown, might communicate "tapless" wireless messages com between usedn here and Germany was absolutely denied this morning by a Government censor at the plant. The Navy official stated that he was thoroughly acquainted with all the details of the sending and receiving apparatus in the Telefunken station here, and he was certain no such system was in use. He said he was sure no mechanism was in use to accomplish this result.

The entire sending apparatus, the Navy man averred, was of the Telefunken patents, while every particle of receiving end was the Armstrong patents. The idea of a "tapless" message between receiver and sender has been the basis of numerous experiments, many of which have been listed in the Patent Office at Washington. This sort of device, if practicable, would change the whole idea of wireless communication. If Dr. Kitsee had invented such a device and patented it, as is claimed, it is more than likely that the Government or some private wireless corporation would adopt the improvement.

It has frequently been asserted by outsiders that a German operator employed here could hold back a received message from the censors by not making a copy of it for his inspection. This is now known to be impossible, as a wireless operator from the Nevy Department is present as every message comes from the plant, in Germany, and he, too, makes a copy of the message along with two other operators. These are compared. The only solution to an "untapable" message is by code. This could exist with cable as well, although the wireless seems to offer more.

opportunities. A couple of the local amateurs are convinced that many of the apparently harmless messages going from the Atlantic Communication Company's plant here are strangely accented. One claims to have noticed peculiar emphasis and pauses on certain letters of some words. These, he believes, are not accidental, as he asserts they have happened more than once. TWO POLICEMEN FINED.

Could Not Resist the Attractions of Saloons. Deputy Police Commissioner Godley was plainly grieved to see two young policemen from his home precinct, Classon avenue, before him today on charges of having visited liquor stores. He found each guilty, and fined one eight and the other five days pay. Patrolman Michael J. Maun was charged by Sergeant Pettingill with having been off post in a liquor store at 885 Fulton street on June 22.

He declared that he had had nothing alcoholic in fluid form in three years. He was fined eight days pay. A fine of five days was imposed on William A. Henrahan, a patrolman of the same precinct, for having been found in a liquor 979-81 Fulton street a few daloongat FIRE IN BIG TENEMENT. Timely Arrival of Policeman Prevents a Catastrophe.

The timely arrival of Policeman O'Donnell of the Bedford avenue station probably prevented serious damage at 119 Berry street, a thickly populated tenement, when fire broke out in the cellar and filled the building with dense smoke. O'Donnell quickly turned in an alarm and the flames were extinguished before they did much damage. The loss was only $50. The policeman had his hands full when the excitable foreigners who live in the tenement began rushing down the halls. Women were dragging their children and possessions, and several women were overcome by smoke.

OFFICIAL FINED $63,750. Frankenthal, Bavaria, via London, July 7-Jean Ganss, factory director, commercial councilor and former associate judge of the Commercial Court, has been fined 255,000 marks ($63,750) for making false returns in connection with the levying of the armament tax.

CITY GETS LAND FOR JAMAICA BAY WORK Terence Curley Relinquishes Title -Will Affect Many City Suits. U. 8. BLAMES CITY FOR DELAY. War Department Says Money for Work Has Lain Idle for Two Years.

The agreement between the City of New York and Terence Curley, the holder of a large tract of land under water in Jamaica Bay, whereby the latter relinquishes his title to the land in behalf of the city was signed this afternoon by the Mayor and the Corporation Counsel in behalf of the city and by Mr. Curley, This gives the city the right to go ahead with its dredging operations in Mill Creek and Mill Basin and in that portion of the bay opposite Mill Island, where the first excavations will be made when the main channel extension nortnward is begun. This settlement with Curley is looked upon by city authorities as of the utmost importance as affecting the suits brought against all the other claimants to the land under water in Jamaica Bay, which It is necessary for the city to acquire before the dredging of the main channel, can proceed northward to Canarsie and Fresh Creek and along the Queens County front. The bulkhead line will be established by the Federal government as soon as all the settlements are effected with the claimants under State grants, and as soon as that line is fixed the course of the channel will be determined 1,000 feet outside of that line and the work of digging the main channel will proceed. The War Department officials at Washington deny the statement made by Mayor Mitchel that the stoppage of work at Jamaica Bay was due to the fact that the government had withdrawn a part of the appropriation for the work.

They said that the money for this work appropriated two years ago lain idle ever since. The following statement was given out by the War Department: "There is no reason for any delay, as far as the government is concerned, with the improvement of Jamaica Bay," declared one of the officials of the engineers' office today. "The delay has been entirely due to New York City. On June 1 last we had on hand the sum of $537,600 to spend on this project. We still have that amount and are ready to reimburse the City of New York for any dredging it might do at Jamaica Bay as per our agreement." TEACHERS FOR DEMPSEY Adopt Resolutions Indorsing Him and Condemning Hayward.

The Class Teachers Organization of Brooklyn, of which Miss Isabel A. Ennis is president, has adopted a preamble and resolutions in defense of John J. Dempsey, supreintendent of transportation of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. The Organizatton declares that he has "for many years been a stanch friend and supporter of our organization and has used untiring efforts to provide for our convenience in traveling," and states that the "criminal proceedings instituted against Mr. Dempsey by William Hayward, Public Service Commissioner, tend to interfere with the solution of the transportation problem in the City of New York," and then the Organization resolves: "We sincerely deplore the fact that SO estimable and able an official should be so unnecessarily and ruthlessly attacked upon such trivial cause, and we condemn the atrociously unfair and manifestly unjust treatment of Mr.

Dempsey by the newly appointed commissioner, and we furthermore wish to record our utmost confidence in Mr. Dempsey's honesty of purpose and energetic efforts, and we look with confidence to his early vindication." PRESIDENT PLAYS GOLF. Also Considers Business and Takes Auto Ride. Cornish, N.

Fort Hamilton Parkway is to remain the jurisdiction of the Park Department. Some time ago the Board of Estimate, on the recommendation of Park Commissioner Ingersoll, passed a resolution transferring the control of the parkway to Borough President Pounds.

The transfer, however, to become effective required the concurrence of the Board of Aldermen. Immediate objection was made to the proposed transfer by the residents along Fort Hamilton Parkway, which is very much in need of repairs. These repairs, if the parkway remained under the jurisdiction of the Park Department, would have to be assumed by city. If the parkway came under the control of Borough President Pounds the cost of the repairs would be assessed on the abutting property owners. When these facts were laid before the Aldermanic Committee on Public Thoroughfares, the members decided to place the Board of Estimate resolution on file, and Fort Hamilton Parkway will remain under the jurisdiction of Park Commissioner Ingersoll.

BORROWING POWER OF CITY INCREASED Extended by $2,388,021 by Rescinding Old Stock Authorizations. The city's borrowing power has been increased to the extent 021. This has been accomplished through concurrent action by the Board of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen in rescinding resolutions that authorized the issue of corporate stoche for that authorizations amount. cover a period of some years, one item for $5,000 being an ordinance passed by the old Municipal Assembly seventeen years ago. The recommendation to rescind was made by the corporate stock committee of the Board of Estimate.

It was found that 'n many instances, these authorizations of corporate stock were never utilized, or that they were largely in excess of what actually was required. As an illustration, two years ago an issue of $11 000 corporate stock was authorized for alterations and additions to the Kings County Courthouse. This appropriation was never used, because the Board of Estimate later took up the question of building a new courthouse in Brooklyn. Other corporate stock authorizations, affecting Brooklyn, which have been rescinded, are $44,000 for a new ferryhouse at the foot of Thirty-ninth street; $22,500 for alterations to the Manhattan station the Williamsburg Bridge; $7,000 for improvements to Borough Hall; $2,500 for comfort station in Prospect Park; $3,500 for a bridge at First avenue and the Shore road, and $123,000 for the construction and equipment of Public School No. 175.

Allegedly Stolen Goods Found on Stairs- -Saleswoman Captures, Belligerent. Many shoppers on Fulton street, late yesterday afternoon, witnessed fight between Mrs. May Trumpf, one of the department store detectives, and a stout woman, who was suspected of having stolen some goods from the store. The fight began at the corner of Hoyt and Fulton streets, continued on the stairs of the subway, down which rolled both of the women, still fighting. The battle then waged on one of the cars of a halted subway train, bound for Nevins street.

Nobody offered to help the little detective, who clung, tenaciously to her prisoner, and the fight ended only when the subway authorities insisted on having the stalled train started. Mrs. in Trumpf was on duty in the store late yesterday afternoon, when she saw two plainly dressed women acting suspiciously at one of the counters. The women were sout and middle-aged. The detective kept them in observation almost an hour, and finally saw one of the women pick up a valuable bathing suit and pass it to her companion.

Then the women left the store, and separated on the street. Mrs. Trumpt got one of the saleswomen, Miss Burnett, to aid her in joined each other in front of the following a them, and the women resubway station, at Hoyt and Fulton streets. Then Mrs. Trumpf grabbed the larger woman, and Miss Burnett the other.

Each put up a vicious fight, but little Mrs. Trumpf's prisoner was stronger and more pugnacious In the wrestle both detective and prisoner tumbled down the stairs. The suspect got up, made a dash for one of the middle doors of a train. She was inside the car, but Mrs. Trumpt grabbed her again.

The guard attempted to close the door, but the detective was wedged in. "I want to get this woman off the train," panted the little detective. A crowd had gathered in the meantime, and the women passengers on the train became excited. A policeman arrived, sought an explanation, and Mrs. Trumpf, who was bleeding from many cuts.

Detective Dittman of the Poplar street headquarters, arrested the prisoner, and took her to the Adams street station. The stolen bathing suit was found on the subway steps. Miss Burnett had the other woman.
