THE BROOKLYN STANDARD UNION: TUESDAY, JUNE 16, THE STANDARD UNION rO UNDID BT WILLIAM BERM. Established mi. ing lively dance music, has the new WRNX effectively blanketed in at least ona section of Brooklyn; Huddling very modestly between that high-powered sender and WAAM, WRNY is the radio personification of the still, small voice. Tat other parts of town report no difficulty at kll in getting it. Rev, Martin E.

Opposition to Wadsworth, and half-hearted support of Roosevelt, bid fair, in Mr. Andersons opinion, to destroy their "effective organised and, of course, if the foregoing definition of dry Protestant churches" is accepted, then the tie under the old regime, Billy Watson was elected magistrate after consolidation. By a curious kink the late Henry J. Furlong had been appointed to preside over the Gates Avenue Court Neither would give In to the other and there resulted a historic siege, tha like of which has never been seen elsewhere in the history of local courts.

Judge Watson was a veteran of that had been thriving on both praises and receipts until the Bermuda high discouraged its patrons. Naturally the managers are asking why this happened. It was not like any June business in their memory. The theatres ars by no mean the hottest places in town; in some instances they are more comfortable than the homes of their ticket-holders. It was a manifestation as unlooked for as the sudden spell ot torrid temperatures was unexpected.

Theatrical promoters anticipate nothing of the sort in August, when the new season's plays will arrive, when the people will abide weather perhaps even hotter but of course more seasonable. the naval eervice in the Civil War Anti-Saloon League is their only ef-and was a man of Importance in G. fective organized influence.

The usual Tuesday night stunts at WEAF are again on the schedule. These Include the famous 9 o'clock hour of music and at 10 the operatic troupe, which has selected Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman for this week. In addition the Mayor's favorite work of fiction is to have another installment read (WNYC, and WJZ Is still celebrating alumni reunion Week. The Ynle-Horvard ball game will occupy most of this afternoon's attention. a Yesterday afternoon WJZ embarked upon the rather difficult task broadcasting the Yale-Harvard track meet, which was a victory for Yale, and in the evening undertook send along the Yale Musical Clubs concert at Woolsey Hall, which was certainly another Yale triumph.

More vivid descriptions of alumni costumes were in order at both events. It made disturbing stuff to listen in weather like yesterday's. To think of those old and young grads the lce-crcam sodas they were consuming, and the costumes they were wearing, and their activities under the broiling sun, was certainly torrid experience. Why not hold alumni reunions In early spring? The Yale Glee Olub and its quartet were good, specializing on rollicking songs to fit the moods of their hearers. The concert, and everything else on air last night, came through heavily studded with static.

It was interference of the roaring tpe. punctuated with evidences of far-off lightning flashes and a certain lndicntion that a tropical sorm vas brewing. The static was giving a realistic imitation of coal going down at a chute at the moment Phillips Carlin, WEAF, was making nn announcement about the Monday night gyp-ties. He appeared to be saving that they were going away, to return, perhaps, next September. The perhaps" was intei preted ns another invitation to write a lettei.

Now letter-writing is a nuisance, but anybody in the broadcTstipg field deserve. that much trouble, It is surely the Upsy Orchestra. Roar of the static mingled with, loar of the diners at the extrem- i talkative dinner of the Knlghls Templar at the McAlpln, corriel through on the noisy wave of WNYC. It was next to imposnible to listen these pioceetlings for any length time, for their entertainment value was badly affected by the conditions Each speech was preceded by a sonojous Sir Knights and et even in thnt rarefied atmosphere tvvo talker were making glowing references to Mayor John F.

The i itest excuse Invented by nr Smith for his annual quar-i el with the Republican Assembly, the veto of the State Parks bill this year, has stirred up the controversy he desired.

It has filled the ether with waves and led to the incorporation in far-off Colorado of a Smith for President in 1928 Club, which, in spite of the explicitness of Its nams, probably does not seek to dis-iilace Mr. Coolidge before the end of his term on March 4, 1929. It Is, indeed, just one more phase of the same old warfare of the Governor upon the Assembly, which seems to suit both sides. The Governor has got himself elected three timee, and the Assembly continues to be Republican in increasing majorities. The Governor, who has become expert by this time, is doing most of the shooting, but occasionally some other Democrat darts forward and heave half a brick at the Republicans.

For instance, there is a little contribution from Mr. George Gordon Battle, embodied In a letter tb thla newspaper printed yesterday. M. Battle, who Is faithful as a Democrat and celebrated aa a law-yar, advances tha suggestion that tha oontroversy Is distinctly not a polltloal nor a partisan affair." This seems a bft mysterious, in view of the fact that the Governor stated, ai the reason for his war upon tha Land Board, that this Is strictly a political body. The issue thus ap.

pears to be strictly Indistinct or in-fllstinotly strict. However, there 1 a way of harmonizing tha difference between the Governor and his volunteer assistant. After saying that tha controversy is distinctly not political, Mr. Battle goes on to aver that the majority of the Legislature are seeking to impose the dead hand of political control. Dead hand," as all lawyers know, is a technical term in whist, in which a celebrated Mrs.

Battle of a hundred years ago was all for the rigor of the game." This laying on of a dead hand is on of the events leading np to the tragedy. The controversy Is not political, bnt the Democratic argument In the controversy Is that ths Republican officials who compose ths Land Board art political and that ths can majority in ths Legislature are laying on a dead hand which is political finally, Mr. Battle gets beak ths strictly, or distinctly, Smith position by repeating that the interest of ths Land Board is only "tnd-dsntal, temporary and political." Bo, after all, the Issues ars strict and distinct, as follows: Ths Republicans In the Legislature are political. The Republicans of ths Land Board are political. The controversy Is not politicaL Smith for President in 1928.

Ex-Judge William Watson. A fin old Brooklynite, an outstanding figure of the days of a pre-'dous generation, Is taken away by the death of William Watson. The end of a long and picturesque career came to him yesterday in his East New York home, where he had lived quietly since his retirement from politics. During his days of activity Judge Watson was continually in the public eye. He was of the old-fashioned type of magistrates whose remarks frwn the bench made good copy for the reporters.

Sometimes those asides were witty, to relieve the deadly seriousness of a session; sometimes they were of the caustic nature to which a judge is moved the o. the reprobates hroi vht before A polio Jus Novel Sign on Williamsburg Span Now Up Brooklyn Structure Vacant. 'AMorists Wanted or "This Bridge Vacant, Please Use It, will be something like the wording ot big signs the Depaitment of Plant and Struetmes put up on Brooklyn Bridge to-day, while complementary signs readlngvMotml8ta please take Brooklyn RidRe will go up on Manhattan Bridge ends. This advertising campaign, it is announced, is the remedy devised by the Police Department for remedying the most extraodinary condition of affairs with which it has recently had to deal. That Is the emptiness of Brooklyn Bridge, which has been made available for light, passenger motors, but is not being used by them.

The police heretofore have had difficulty keeping vehicles off places in which they are not wanted; in fact, that Is the usual condition of things. Never betoie have they had to invite anyone to use a bridge. Reports to Commissioner Enright show that Manhattan Btidge, which serves in large measure the same territory as the Brooklyn span. Is overcrowded and that, even with four stieams of cars moving one way, it is not equal to the demands in rush hours and on Sunday and holiday evenings. The slightest breakdown in the movement of cars there Jams the Bowery, Hester street and Canal street for blocks around.

It is vi the hope of doing away with this that the city is advertising for motorists to please come and use Brooklyn Bridge, which has space to spare. "If one-fourth or even one-fifth of the motorists now using Manhattan Bridge will just change their routes and detour by Brookljn Bridge. It will gictly ease the congestion at the UuihalUD end of Manhattan Bridge and dl atoo speed the mo-toriaU on their ti.iel between the twro boroughs. Tho Traffic Division points out that, for alt except travel toward the Eastern District in Brooklyn, motorists will encounter fewer traffic de-lavs when going by Brooklyn Bridge than Manhattan Bridge This is esentally true in the non-rush hours, when progress in Flat hush avenue and the tributary streets on the Brooklyn side, and in Canal street on the Manhattan side, is frequently delayed. Motors moving by Brooklyn Bridge on the other hand, have uninterrupted passageways except for one crossing at Centre and Chambers streets Thp nnnunl Flag Day celehiation of tha Masonic loilftpfl of tho First, Second and Third dlntrhts of Brooklyn was held lat exenlng at the Aiademy of Music and was Attended hy a large number of the fra-ternltv and auxiliary organlatlona Grand Lodge officers, puat and present, masters and and other offl ers of the various Masonic bodies were there.

CUUI. HUM Well, Mr. Anderson modestly clnims that it elected Nathan Miller in 1920; and he does not fail to mention that the feat was achieved by the Anti-Saloon League when he himself was directing its organized influence. At that election the Republican candidate for President got 1,190,000 plurality and the Republican candidate for Governor got plurality. In 1924, with the Anti-Saloon League under its present direction, the Republican candidate for President got 870,000 plurality and the Republican candidate for Governor was defeated by Mr.

Anderson and his successors might dispute with each other about the proper moral to be drawn frem these comparative figures; but an interpretation that will occur to many other persons is that both the former and the present management of the League exaggerate the effectiveness of its influence. The wet Democratic candidate for Governor did not quite squeeze through when the Republican landslide went over eleven hundred, thousand, but he won hy a safe margin when the landslide receded to a Presidential majority of less than nine hundred thousand. Under any management, the League is just as cocky as ever. Announcing that it continues to be opposed to Senator Wadsworth, it thereupon declares the Republican party has been warned of the attitude of the voters." In fact, it is getting more and more complacent. It does not talk now, in Mr.

Anderson's phrase, of "the constituency of the dry Protestant churches. When the League speaks, it is the voters" who give warning. Mr. Antler shakes his head mournfully over this. He hints that if the Anti-Saloon League keeps on this way, Alfred E.

Smith will be the next President ot the United States. Evidently, all the claims are somewhat inflated. The Anti Saloon League, like any other organized influence, can somewhat affect the result in a close election. It spends about $200,000 a year, of which $114,000 goes to payroll, salaries, lield staff and speakers, and $15,000 to travel and hotel expenses. It does not like to file campaign expenses, preferring to be an organized influence not subject to accounting under the law that applies to parties, but it now publishes a financial statement.

Nobody has ever certified that his own vote was ever changed as the result of listening to one of its field staff or speakers, or from reading its publication. Its maintenance is, of course, principally of interest to its fifty-eight field staff and speakers, its twenty-six secretarial, clerical and office labor and its fourteen executives, department heads and assistants. And its entry into the field of law enforcement, as well as political management, is of interest to everybody. An Amazing Swim. Gertrude Ederle has furnished eiT ple proof of her ability to undertake the swim across the English Channel.

Yesterday she started out before dawn on the route from the Battery to Sandy Hook, and landed there without mishap in the fastest time ever recorded for the distance. It was a marvelous, display of endurance. Any shrim that lasts more than six hours entail the necessity of bucking the tides for part of the distance. And this girl ii only seventeen yearn old I But perhaps that was the reason why aha was able to triumph. Her elders had many, many times failed to smash the record.

The Theatre Worat Week. Metropolitan theatre backer are counting up their loaaea following the moat disastrous week their business has ever experienced. When June opened with a distressing breath of Caribbean weather a large number of attractions wart lingering in the aftermath of a fairly sue sesaful season. The week came and went and left the managers gasping. New Yorkers took their tropical June hard.

Some of them it killed; others it drove to the beaches. But the urge to stay away from the playhouses wes almost unanimous. One musical play that had already done a nice traffic in advance tickets reported that on the final day of the heat wave not one dollar was taken in at the box office. Others bad to be content with a few hundred dollars for the week. At its close nearly a dozen managers darkened their houses.

The casualties included a Theatre Guild production that was considered a superlative attraction and a Gilbert sad ftoUWan revival he lived to the age of 78. The Antl-Salooa League Takes Up Enforcement. The Anti-Saloon League, which used to feel itself responsible for saying what laws should ba snacted, what ths Constitution of ths United States should be, who should bs defeated for public office and more particularly whom the Republican party muit nominate for office, is now appearing in the executive branch for the enforcement of the laws in which It is particularly in-terssted. Ths League now claims to have conducted a prohibition raid last Saturday In the neighborhood of Forest Hills. It asserts it is not assuming to be prosecutor.

According to the League officials, after they had got the evidence justifying the iseuance of a warrant, it would have been a waste of time to refer the matter to the prohibl- tton authorities. They had their own the prohibition authorities to send some men along with them. There seems to be no doubt that the raid was made on the strength of sn affidavit presented by the League. Perhaps that will be the solution of sii the trouble. The public has not responded very kindly to attempted control of politics by this private organization.

But when it comes to pursuing boot-loggers, whose profession, accordirg to a dictum of Mr. Justice May, is not wrongful nor immoral, just illegal, it may be the opinion of mankind, to which we should pay a decent respect, would be in favor of just letting the bootleggers and this private organization fight it out. The political policy of the organization is just now under savage attack by its former leader. "The American Issue, organ of the Anti-Saloon League, carries in a prominent position every week the resolution of that society's Board ot Trustees to the effect that The Tecord of the senior Senator from New York disqualifies him for re-election beesuse he has betrayed the people of his State. If Senator Wadsworth should be renominated for election next year, it would be, it says.

because the Republican party is wilfully blind to the inevitable defeat which awaits him. The League sticks to its opposition to ths renoiminstion of Senator Wadsworth, but in this regard a statement has just been made by William H. Anderson, who was State superintendent until he got into trouble over a bookkeeping matter and was convicted of forgery, unjustly, In the opinion of thousands of fair-minded people who read the evidence carefully. Mr. Anderson is very bitter against the Anti-Saloon League.

Not only because he thinks it did rot stand by him as it should have done during his trial, but more particularly because he charges it with having elected Alfred E. Smith Governor last year. It was a fool stunt, is Mr. Anderson's characterization of the Anti-Saloon Leagues failure to support Col. Roosevelt By last falls fiasco, the New York League management has given Senator Wadsworth chance to say that the candidate whose nomination he brought about doclarad for the thing tha Anti-Saloon League said It wanted (that is, the re-enactment of the Mullan-Gag law), and that the Anti-Saloon League still continued to fight him until it own State president in effect repudiated its policy and ran out on H.

This Leagns management has thereby played into and strengthened the hands of the wet element in the Republican party. Mr. Anderson says Senator Wadsworths position on Stats dry legislation during the recent session was thoroughly sound and absolutely tenable. And now, says Mr. Anderson, there is a "clever scheme for next year It is to run ths two friends, wets, Smith and Wadsworth, not against each other for the Senate, but each for re-election to the office he now holds.

They will both be elected, Mr. Anderson believes. And this, he thinks, will destroy, perhaps for a generation, at least in New York State, any effective organized influence in political affairs on the part of the constituency of the dry Protestant churches. Mr. Anderson chooses Kls words carefully.

He is not speaking of the dry constituency in Protestant churches, or in other churches, but of the constituency of the dry Frot catant-church; a- phrase -whieh with- substantial fairness eoald i THE PERISCOPE By TOM W. JACKSON UNNECESSARY NOISE8. Police Commissioner Enright has issued an order against unnecessary noises. Good. Theie is entirely too much noise in this town, especially when people want to steep.

Among those whom we would like to see pinched is the fiend who toots his horn In front of a house to Inform someone or other that the car is waiting. This geneially happens late at night and wakes up all the babies on the block. The fiend sometimes keeps up his Infernal tooting for a half hour or mote He could hop out of the car and find out In half a minute what is causing the delay, but he prefers to sit in the car and toot, while the neighbors suffer and say terrible things. And If the early morning milkman could be tamed a little it would add greatly to the Joy ot living. Of course, we have got to have milk but there is no necessity of banging empty bottles together and yelling get up" to the horse in a voice that could be heard a mile.

A hint from policeman might accomplish a great deal. And there are times when garbage Is removed late at night, and then the racket made by the banging of empty cans sounds like the war In China on a busy afternoon. There are lots of other noises toe. that could be eliminated, and we hope the police will see that they are. including loud speakers on front poiches that shriek until midnight.

It Is probably a fortunate thing for the tajzpaers of this town that lh members of the Sinnott family vure not born twins. According to newq fiorn Washington. President Coolidge has refused to cut the sugar tariff Oh, well, what's the odds4 Anyone can get cut sugar In a grocery siore. MUZZLE YOUR DOG Muzzle your dog Do it right away, or you may be fined and go to a cell Keeping a dog on a leash is not enough; it must also be muzzled. A dog does not like muzzle; it makes him If not mad.

at least angr but he has to have It. No moie dogs go mad in summer than they do in winter, but hot weather makes them cross and peevish, and they are liable to snap and bite as they cannot turn on an electric fan eery time they feel oppressed by the heat. A dog is mans friend, but they should be treated right. We heard of a man once who owned a valuable dog, but one night he came home sober and the dog, failing to recognize him, bit him, 1 and we cant see that the dog was much to blame at that. The fact is that a crowded city like this Is no place In which to keep a dog.

Cooping a dog up in an aoartment when the poor thing is longing to run free in the open fields naturally tends to discourage dog and spoil his temper. However, If you own a dog, get a muzzle for him size makes no difference.
