THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. SATURDAY. JUNE 18. 1910.

QUEENS BOROUGH. MEN LAND SOME GOOD PLACES Named by the Supreme Court as Members of Street Opening Commissions. TIPPLING FOR FEDERAL BENCH Other Bits of Queens Political News Picked Up by the "Man on the Street." My attention has been called to the appointments made this week by Supreme Court Justice Luke D. Stapleton on street opening commissions. I am told that "Joe" Cassidy has reason to rejoice, for all the lucky ones are rated as Cassidy men with the probable exception of one man from Flushing.

Considerable interest is being manitested in the efforts of friends of Judge Charles A. Tippling to land him a federal Judgeship in the eastern district of New York. As referee in bankruptcy Judge Tippling has discharged his duties with ability, his appointment to the federal bench will help very materially to strengthen the political party that he represents. Of late it has been rumored that James A. McDonald of Flushing has at last given his consent to accept the office of 'borough president in Queens in the event a vacancy.

All I have to say is to repeat what I wrote some weeks ago: Let the grafters beware, for Mr. Macdonald's record as president of the old village of Flushing is warning enough that every man under him will have to work, even if he is holding a public office. From a Long Island City resident I learned State Senator Denis J. Harte's friends feel so jubilant over his success in having Governor Hughes sign the Steinway tunnel bill that they have induced him to visit Borough Hall and inspect "the throne," with a view of making up his mind whether he wants to return to Albany next year or jump into Gresser's shoes. They tell me that all that is now required of him is to come, to see, and conquer.

I cannot help thinking that many men's lives have been ruined by counting on political dreams that never materialized. The Greenoak organization is becoming more popular every day. So is its standard-bearer, Sheriff Thomas M. Quinn, who, I am told, is making good in his office. I don't know how he feels personally about it, but I should think that he ought to congratulate himself that there has been a resignation in his official family of late.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Sheriff, and if you want to continue your popularity, don't fail to collect the judgments that lawyers turn over to your office for collection. I am informed that ex-Sheriff Herbert S. Harvey made himself solid with the legal fraternity and their clients by either collecting the judgments or paying them out of his own pocket. It appears to be the unanimous opinion of the Republicans that the death of Isaac H.

Cocks, father of Congressman William W. Cocks, has been a great loss to the party. The deceased never sought newspaper notoriety, but the writer is in a position to say that he was one of the most valuable political advisers that his son ever had, or ever will have. From behind the footlights of the political arena he saw and heard many things that made him competent to give valuable sug. gestions to the Westbury Congressman.

I feel that I can say that we all, who knew the deceased, mourn his death. From reliable sources I have learned that Surrogate Daniel Noble has been served with notice to decide whether he will be satisfied with a renomination to his office or take his chances in getting a Supreme Court nomination this fall. It seems his friends have advised him to stick to the surrogateship, which, it is claimed. is a sure thing, but Judge Noble has for so a long time been ambitious to serve on the Supreme Court bench that it will not be surprising if he picks out the higher court nomination. This reminds me that I heard this week that if Surrogate Noble is not a candidate for renomination Police Magistrate Joseph Fitch of Flushing will come out for it.

Judge Fitch is competent to fill the office, but what is the matter with former Municipal Court Justice William Rasquin getting the Democratic nomination? Judge Fitch is now on the bench, while Judge Rasquin is not, although I am of the impression that those who turned him down wish now that he was, In view of the recent developments In Queens. The Republicans will probably nominate ex-County Judge Harrison S. Moore, former Assistant District Attorney Eugene N. L. Youngs, ex-Assemblyman William A.

De Groot or Judge Charles A. Tippling. It Assemblyman Theodore P. Wilsnack of the Jamaica- Flushing District wants to return to Albany next year, he had better take advice and get busy, for during the past fortnight I have heard the names of half a dozen men who would like the job next year. "Teddy" has made many new friends and a good record, but must hustle if he wants to be renominated.

Made in California for President of Board of Education--Good Advice With Each Gift. (Special to The Eagle.) Floral Park, L. June 18-The faculty of the Floral Park Union Free School received many congratulations on Thursday night for the excellent showing made by the pupils at the commencement exercises. They were the best ever held in the village and a credit to the school The large hall was crowded with people and the children had all the pretty flowers they could carry home. Village President Childs, who is also president of the Board of Education, had special class 'pins made in California for the graduates, containing birthstones, The following were in the graduating class: Crystal Herbert, F.

Lillis, Mary Domal, Clara Barto, Claire, Florence Cassidy, Eva Bickelhaupt, Hazel Crump, Bethel Krummenacher, Eunice Casparian, Phyllis Mahon, Edward Godrray, George Lyes, Kenneth Everett Van Nostrand, Arthur Siebrecht, Mortimer Lyons and William Purcell. Claire Lillis was the class prophet and Phyllis Mahon was the class poet. Crystal Herbert wrote the class song. When delivering the diplomas and class pins, Mr. Childs addressed the graduates as follows: "According to the traditions of mythology and the ancient science of astrology, children born in certain months of the year are subject all their lives to some specific form of danger tin bad luck.

To counteract these misfortunes of birth the wise ones of olden times worked out antidotes through jewels and precious stones, and these ancient beliefs and superstitions have to some extent been handed down to present time. Each is credited with merits for warding off the ill effects of having been born under an unlucky star, as it were. For example: October's child is born woe, And life's vicissitudes must know. But lay an opal on her breast, And hope will lull the woes to rest. Those who in April date their years, Sapphires should wear, lest bitter tears For vain repentance flow.

Who first comes to this world below With dull November's fog and snow, Should wear topaz, with amber hue, Emblem of friends and lovers true. "Appreciating the interesting character of these ancient and absurd myths and beliefs regarding precious stones, 1 have taken much pleasure in having designed and made for you a class pin. Each pin is marked with the letters 'F. P. Floral Park School, 1910, and each pin contains the jewel for the month of your birth, as per ancient tradition.

"I assume that you will keep these pins for all time, and I trust they may ever serve as a reminder that there is an antidote for many of the unfortunate of life. Honenty, industry, perseverance, upright living, integrity and education will drive away poverty and misery, lift you in the school scale of life and prove an antidote for many of the ills over which it is possible for you to exercise control. I hope you will think of this when you wear these pins, and that you will remember the occasion of your graduation from the Floral Park school here in the presence of most of our village people, and feel that they all love and respect you and wish abundant success and happiness all through life." CHURCH TO BURN MORTGAGE. At the close of to -morrow's morning service in the Elmhurst Methodist Church the mortgage on the church will be burned by Theodore Weeks, president of the board of trustees; Peter C. Rapelyea, the oldest member of the church, and Mrs.

Chapman, D. professor of homiletics in Boston University. Special music will be sung by the choir. When the mortgage is burned the church property, valued at $20,000, will be free from debt. ALMOST A FIASCO.

Mixup Among Caterers Came Near Embarrassing Wedding Guests. It became known yesterday that the guests at the marriage of Almon G. Rasquin and Miss Martha Elizabeth Rapelye on Wednesday night at Flushing came very near going without any refreshments, for the caterer, who was from Manhattan, instead of carting his dishes and viands to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T.

Van De Water, at 99 Madiavenue, Flushing, went instead to the home of -County Clerk David L. Van son Nostrand, on Broadway, Flushing, whose daughter, Viola, was also married that night, and there unloaded his wagon. The Van Nostrand family naturally did not question the man, as they thought he was from the caterer from whom they had ordered their refreshments. The mistake, however, was discovered when the caterer whom Mr. Van Nostrand had engaged arrived, and the guests at the Rasquin-Rapelye wedding did not have to without refreshments, although they were late in getting WILL GO TO ILLINOIS.

The Rev. Mr. Wyneken Accepts Call to Carlinville-Brooklyn Preacher Called to Corona. At a special meeting of the congregation of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Corona, last night the pastor, the Rev. F.

G. Wyneken, announced that he accepted a call from the Zion Lutheran Church of Carlinville, 111. The members of the church tried hard to persuade their pastor to remain with them, but he said that he must accept the call. Then the congregation extended a call to the Rev. Paul Lindeman, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Brooklyn.

The Rev. Mr. Wyneken in 1902 was stationed at Centreville, South Dakota, when he received a call from the Corona church. During the eight years of his pastorate in Corona he has cleared the church from all its debts. and it is now of the most prosperous churches in one Corona.

The membership is now nearly eight hundred. TAKES DR. PRESTON'S PLACE. Dr. Van Winkle Made Health Officer of Babylon -Small Paying Job Eagerly Sought.

At Union Church, Corona, North Branch, in National avenue, on Sunday evening, treorge Jones of Woodside, the mean soldier and prison evangelist, ex- will preach. Services commence at 7:45. Mrs.

Thomas Fears Recreant Spouse Will Die If Sent to Prison. HE WAS ONCE A PREACHER. Lived in Corona With Second Wife and Children of First--Married Middle Village Girl. In the Hudson County Court of New Jersey, yesterday, when William Thomas, de former local preacher of Corona, L. was arraigned to plead to an indictment charging him with bigamy, he answered, "Guilty." He was then to have been a sentenced, but the justice decided to wait several days before doing SO and committed him back to jail.

Mrs. Thomas, who was present in court, was asked by the judge what she wanted done with her husband, and whether she wanted him sentenced or allowed to go freer She was unable to say. Court attaches also tried to persuade the woman to relent for the sake of their two small children, upon whom the disgrace would fall. Mrs. Thomas was the cause of her husband landing in jail.

She learned that he 'had married Miss Tessie Walters of Middle Village, without divorcing his first wife. She visited the Walters family and found to be true, and was also told where couple lived. Mrs. this. Thomas then went to Jersey City and in short order had her husband behind the bars.

His marriage to Miss Walters was Thomas' third. told her that the Mrs. and that caring for his two Thomas in was his sister-in-law children of wife. Corona, Mrs. Thomas was married to her bigamist husband about seven years ago.

Thomas joined the Methodist Church in Corona three years ago, and it was not long before he received his license as a local preacher, which was taken away from him last week. At the time of his arrest he was an insurance agent. He had two children-a girl of 8 and a boy of 10 years of age by his first wife. When an Eagle reporter called at Mrs. Thomas' home on Sycamore avenue, Corona, last night, and acked her if was going to let up on her husband, she made the following statement: "Yesterday was the first time I have seen my husband since I had him arrested.

I visited him in the Hudson County Penitentiary. He was behind two sets of bars, and I tell you it put me in mind of the death house; it was terrible. I felt very sorry for him and I did not know whether to give him another chance or not. If I thought he would reform and leave other women alone I would try him. I know that if he goes to prison he will not live, and then I would have the thought upon my mind that I had caused his death.

Really, I don't know what to do. This affair has broken me all up, and I am nearly a wreck. He was always so good to me up to a short time before he was arrested. was mighty strange that Tessie Walters was not in court when his trial came up, and I told him so. If she had not known that he was a married man before she was married to him, then why did she not try and have him prosecuted and appear in court at the time of the trial? "I tell you it is very hard for me to get along now.

but since he has been in jail I have managed to earn a living by going out in the neighborhood working for different families. But when the winter comes I am afraid that it will be very hard for me to manage things. I think I may give him another chance for I hate the thought of seeing that once good man behind those bars. It would no doubt kill him, and then I will have to answer." ACCEPTS FLUSHING CALL. WIFE MAY BE LENIENT TO BIGAMOUS HUSBAND The Rev.

R. A. Hamilton has accepted a call from the Broadway Congregational Church of Flushing to succeed Rev. H. J.

Condit, who resigned to become thee pastor of a church at Nutley, N. J. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton will assume his new duties in Flushing to -morrow.

Dalzell is there now, and Amityville's season of 1910 has begun. One Peconic poultry raiser has had good luck with his incubator. He put in 300 eggs laid by a neighbor's prize Rhode Island Reds and hatched 228 strong and healthy chicks. A class of nineteen graduates the coming week from Patchogue High School. It is one of the largest classes in the history of that school and one of the biggest to graduate from any of the Suffolk County high schools this year.

Babylon is all smiles these days; it has the trolley and Patehogue, where the agitation for an electric road began whilei the horse cars were running in the village on the banks of the Sumpwams, has got only some unused tracks. It seems like the irony of fate that such things should be. But the fact remains that they are, and the question Patchogue 18 asking the South Shore Traction Company is: "What are you going to do about it?" Ancient turtles are being picked up in varlous parts of Suffolk County. At Southold, the other day, one was found bearing the initials, and the date, 1779. also the name, Thomas S.

Lester, and the date, 1866. The former date may have been cut on the turtle's shell as a joke, and it is also possible that the creature was crawling about the woods and fields of that vicinity 131 years ago. A turtle marked Terry, 1882," was found near Medford recently, One of the old villages on Long Island is Hempstead. It was settled in 1644, and became a municipality in 1853. It was a village long before most of the other municipalities on Long Island became such, and so far as is known no attempt to disincorporate was ever made there.

The present mayor is Edward S. Titus, and the. clerk is Marcus Osborne Hedges, a scion of the old Hedges family of Bridgehampton, but long a Hempstead resident. He is also a member of the Estate, editing one of the local papers, the Inquirer. A North Side critic says his idea of nothing to read is the jokes and quips some of the Suffolk papers print under the headings, King's Park and Central Islip-gossip of the two big insane asylums.

The jokes are aimed at the employes of the institutions, it should be understood, not the unfortunate inmates. Be it also understood. that the humor of many of them is the reverse of Shakspeare's description of the quality of mercy. Here's a fish story from Southold, the Traveler being the medium of publication: "On Saturday afternoon of last week ag E. Willis Horton was passing over the bridge on the road to Bay View, he saw a huge weakfish in the water, He spoke to Captain Bond, who Was in el boat.

The captain struck at the fish, but was unsuccessful. The fish then started out under the bridge for the bay, but Mr. Horton headed it off and drove it into shallow water, where he captured it with LONG ISLAND NEW MARRIED ON JUNE 4, LAST. Young Flushing Couple Slipped Away to Brooklyn--Secret Out Now. Although they were married in Brooklyn on June 4 last, the announcement of the marriage of Miss Maude Wells, a telephone operator employed at the Flushing Exchange, and George Ehrhardt, of Twenty-second street, Flushing, was not made public until yesterday.

According to the bride's relatives, the couple first went to the Little Church Around the Corner, in Manhattan, but as they did not have the necessary witnesses, the Rev. Dr. Houghton refused to perforin the ceremony. They then communicated with friends in Flushing, who met them in Brooklyn, and accompanied them to a Congregational minister, who made them man and wife. The bridegroom is a well known member of Company Tenth Regiment, N.

N. Y. CITY HOSPITAL IN QUEENS It Is Declared to Be One of the Borough's Chief Needs. Greenoak Club Takes Initiative in Effort to Secure It -Names Committee to Arouse Citizens. At the request of a large number of residents of Queens, Club of Long Island City, under direction of Sheriff Thomas M.

Quinn, has decided to make an effort to secure a public hospital for the borough, supported by the city. The club has named committee to present the proposition to the citizens of the borough, and, having gained their support, to make a request to Michael J. Drummond, commissioner of charities of New York City, for an appropriation for the erection of such a hospital, In resolutions presented by Sheriff Quinn, and unanimously passed by the club, it was stated that every case of accident or sickness in Queens must be attended either by the four private hospitals in the borough or transferred miles to a hospital in Brooklyn. At present the accommodations of all the hospitals in Queens is but 368, making a ratio of one bed for every 1,090 persons. With 1 the increase in population this ratio is being diminished, with the possibility that the time is not far distant when the accommodations will be entirely inadequate.

A committee consisting of Dr. John A. Ronayne of Long Island City, Leslie Frank of Woodside, Conrad Garbe of Glendale, Peter Maginnis of Far Rockaway and John F. Keenan of Flushing has been named to present the matter to the residents of the borough, and this committee will hold a meeting at the Greenoak clubhouse next Wednesday evening, when citizens will be invited from different parts of the borough to enlist in the effort. A SETTLEMENT REACHED L.

I. City Property Owners to Get $25,000 in Damages. Long Island and Pennsylvania R.R.'s to Pay for Leaving Hunter's Point Ave. Property Far Below Grade. Agents of the Pennsylvania and Long railroads have during the past two days completed negotiations with property owners on Hunter's Point avenue, between Jackson and Van Alst avenues, Long Island City, for damages arising from the raising of the grade on that street between those points in order to make an approach to the Hunter's Point viaduct.

This viaduct crosses over yards of the railroad almost at the point where the tunnels of the Pennsylvania come to the surface. In order that the proper clearway might had at this point, this viaduct had to raised about be fourteen feet above ordinary grade of the street. As a result the property owners on the street found their buildings The below owners grade. dire H. F.

Quinn, Frank Clancey, the Thomas Contracting Company, Frank Dooley and the Thomas estate. Representatives of these owners met the representatives of the railroad and finally it was agreed that damages to the amount of $25,000 should be paid. Only the actual damages suffered and the cost of raising the buildings to the new grade were allowed. It is understood that the awards agreed upon will be paid during the coming week and then the owners will commence the work of raising their buildings. This proceeding has been watched with much interest by the residents of Long Island City in view of the recent action of Mayor Gaynor and Governor Hughes in signing the Steinway tunnel measure, and the proposition for opening the tunnel, which was made by the Interborough Company to the Public Service Commission.

Now that the street is graded and the viaduct is open there is an additional passage way from the business section of Long Island City to the mouth of this tunnel. A LONG ISLAND NEED. Says It Is a Home for Indigent Natives of the Soil. Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: A erying need for Long Islanders, a home for aged people who have had selfsustaining, simple lives, and who now through misfortune and old age, are thrown upon the mercy of others who are unable or unwiling to do for them. I have just been the rounds of the different denominational and non-sectarian homes of New York end Brooklyn.

Each matron in turn was courtesy itself, but in every instance they said they had a waiting list that would cover several years, and among all of these homes there is only one that takes any one from outside the greater city. The person for whom I was looking has been a communicant of one church for over fifty years, and has lived in the same neighborhood over seventy-five, and such instances are numerous Descendants of our best Revolutionary stock, who have weathered the storms of life with the strongest integrity, who have lost their all through sickness or sharp dealings of others less honest; they suffer the pangs and torture of not being wanted or not wanting to go to the poor house. If a moderate acreage could be procured in some rural district, where their own vegetables and fruits could be grown, many of the men could assist in some degree in their cultivation and the WOmen could help in the lighter work of the house. making each one feel that they were doing their part in maintaining their home. As the majority of these aged men women have been accustomed to work, they would feel happier for the privilege, I hope some of your kind-hearted readers will club together and start this much needed home for those have given their lives in doing for others, and who, now that old age has overtaken them.

are made to feel that their room would be much better than their company. It is an established fact that it is easier for a parent to take care of ten children than for ten children to take care of one parent. H. Manhattan, 15, 1910, 424 5 OFFICER BREAKS LEG IN FALL.

Shortly afterward some one rang up Mr. Grimm on the telephone and asked him if he would cash a $40 check. Upon asking to whom he was speaking, Mr.

Grimm was informed that it was Harry St. George, one of the grocer's good customers. Mr. Grimm replied that he did not have $40. but that he would let him have $25 if that would help him out.

This the supposed Mr. St. George was much delighted to get, and said he "would be right over." In a few minutes in walked the salesman and presented a check for $40 signed by Harry St. George. He asked for the $25 and Mr.

According to the Amityville Record, the day of the trotting horse there has nearly passed, The local driving club is a "dead one," and several owners of fast horses are preparing to dispose of them and get into the automobile game.

The last of the old guard of road and track drivers seems to be "Gil" Williams, and soon he will have to race his favorite gelding, Ben Tracy, against time or confine his speeding to an occasional run on the road. Williams is an old-fashioned horseman and refuses to yield to the lure of the auto. Even ex-Senator Carll S. Burr, scion of a family of horse breeders and handlers, has become a motorist, As one of his friends says: "Now, what do you know about that?" Down in Western Suffolk now there seems to be what amounts almost to a mania for starting newspapers. There is a talk of founding one or two in Babyi lon.

Amityville has two sheets now, and there are rumors of a third one, while Lindenhurst is reported to be anxious to have a man with a press and some news and job type locate there. Bay Shore is said to be not altogether satisfled with conditions In its Fourth Estate, and is willing to have a new deal all around. So far neither Deer Park nor Half Hollows has come to the front with a demand for a paper, but there's no telling what will happen. Medford has its paper now--the Agronomist-and it probably has more circulation than any other Suffolk county paper, at that. West Islip people will not allow ani electric railroad to run along the famous South road, and compel it to reach Bay Shore by the woodland route, but two of the borough's leading citizens, James Waterbury Eaton and J.

L. Heins, were conspicuous figures at Babylon's celebration of the coming of the trolley to that village last Saturday, Mr. Eaton made a speech in which he had a good word to SAy for the trolley as an institution, and Mr. Heins was grand marshal of the parade. No trolley cars will roar through West Islip proper, but the citizens of that fashionable suburb of the modern Babylon will walk or ride to the village and there embark for a ride on the electric road.

They can go west or north or south now, and later will be enabled to journey toward the rising sun. Samuel L. Parrish, of Southampton, philanthropist and. publicist, has had new honors conferred upon him. He has been presented with the medal of the Order of the Crown of Italy for his valua-, ble service as a member of the American Relief Committee in aiding the sufferers from the Messina earthquake of December, 1908.

Mr. Parrish, who was in Italy at the time of the disaster, was requested by Ambassador Lloyd C. Griscom to act as a member of a committee of five to give immediate aid to the victims. The committee fitted up a steamer with plies, dispatched it In an Incredibly short time to the scene and continued its work of giving aid to the sufferers for a number of weeks. As a token of the gratitude of the nation, Mr.

Parrish, has recently received the medal and diploma of the order from: Klug Victor Em- manuel, He has also received the silver medal of to the him Red Cross, President which was presented by Taft in person. F. of Bellport gets into the spotlight again with a little story of human life in that pretty village by the bay. This is the way it goes: "The real estate people who make a business of renting cottages are expected to help make the stay of their clients as pleasant as possible; with this in view they seldom refuse to execute any reasonable commission that is requested of them. We have dabbled in real estate for years and acted in the capacity of 'guide, philosopher and friend' for the usual quota of cottage colonists: -day we were called upon by one of our most recent arrivals to provide company for the hired girl." F.

fails to tell whether or not he made good. That would be interesting to know. The Laurel correspondent of the Riverhead News is anxious to have the bicycle paths thereabouts "planed off a bit." He says that wheeling on them at present "is like riding over a 'flock' of horse feet," meaning, presumably, the king crab. The same writer follows Silas Wegg's example and "drops into verse" about the comet. His disrespectful lines on that subject are as follows: The comet, fiery fakir of the skies, Has caused us all a mild surprise.

Some thought, like Cleo's little snake, 'Twould give its little tail a shake, And do us all up brown. But wise men say 'tis naught but gasSo let the fiery fellow pass. A sort of .0. V. mid the spheres.

Whose blazing course no wise man fears. There's a little fling in the eighth line at the Mattituck correspondent of another paper. means "Old Voluminous," by which name the News writers' colleague is locally known. Funny chaps, these volunteer reporters for the weekly papers. Long Island has developed a new need.

It is a home for the aged-one open to Long Island people, men and women, or men or women, who have no one whose doors are open to them for the remaining years of their sojourn on earth. There are homes galore in Greater New York, but it is not easy to gain entrance to them. They either are full and have long waiting lists, or they do not admit persons who are residents of other sections. There seems to be practically no place for the aged men and women of Long Island-the counties of Nassau and Suffolk -unless it be the alms house. A well managed home for such persons is declared to be a crying need- one that it is hoped the philanthropically inclined will meet.

There are many persons, both men and women, who need the shelter of such a place, and to whom a home amid familiar scenes would mean much more than one in the city. It is doubtful if the necessity for such a place has ever been called to the attention of the people who make donations to such institutions, and it is believed that when they do learn that a home for the aged on Long Island is a necessity, the money to build and maintain it will not be lacking. If it is to aid some who need it sadly now it must be built soon or they will have passed to the land where houses built with hands are unknown, George SUPREME Schinzel, plaintiff, against Gertrude COURT, KINGS COUNTYSchunk, wife of Anton Schunk; Phillip Schunk, Mary Schaffer, Anton Schunk, Mathilda Schunk, Joseph Schunk, Anton Schunk, if living; if dead, his heirs-at-law, next of administra- kin, legatees, devisees, executors and tors; also the wives, widows, husbands, heirsat-law, next of kin, legatees, devisees, executors and administrators, of such of his heirsat-law, next of kin, legatees and devisees as may be dead, and whose names are unknown to plaintiff; also all other persons, if any, have or claim to have some interest in or claim against the premises covered by the mortgage sought to be foreclosed in this action, the names of all of whom, if any there be, being unknown to the plaintiff, and the People of the State of New York, defendants.
