ALONGSIDE PRESENT OFFICE. Site of Latter May Be Included in Ultimate Structure, but New Property Will Be Occupied First. The Brooklyn Union Gas Company is planning to erect a handsome office building on Remsen street.

This the second new building projected for Brooklyn's downtown business district within the past ten days. The other is the proposed new safe deposit building which the Long Island Loan and Trust Comto erect on Jeralemon street. Recently the gas company took title to the property at 176 and 178 Remsen street adjoining its present building. This property had been owned by the Realty sociates for several years. The contract of sale was drawn up by the law firm of Dykman, Oeland Kuhn, and while it could not be learned just what the sideration is, it is said on good authority to be in the neighborhood of $100,000.

According to the last appraisai by the City's Tax Department, the land and building at 176 Remsen street were assessed at 400 and 178 Remsen street at $28,400. The two plots included in the deal are each 25 feet by 100 feet. A well-known real estate expert stated this morning that the two taken together as one parcel for the purpose for which the gas company wanted it, would be worth approximately $100,000. Originally, the two buildings on the land were private residences -three-story and basement brownstone houses. About four years ago they were made over into office buildings, and 176 is occupied by the Realty Associates and allied interests.

The other is devoted to insurance and real estate businesses. None of the gas company officials would talk about the plan for erecting a new building; but it is known in an unofficial way that the company's executive committee has long had such a project under consideration. It is not improbable that the plans for the proposed new building will provide for the ultimate tearing down of the old building and the inclusion of its site in the site of the new one. It is said, however, that the half which will occupy the 100 feet frontage at 176 and Remsen street will be built first. The proposed structure will be fireproof and several stories high.

It will be constructed of steel, with walls of brick and limestone. The plans are being drawn privately, and it is said will be submitted to the board of directors at a meeting to be held about March 1. The next meeting of the board is scheduled for a week from tomorrow, when action will be taken on the quarterly dividend. Wall Street does not expect that the directors will declare an extra disbursement, as they did at their last meeting in 1911. POWER TO MEET OUTBREAKS.

Legislation for the Better Protection of Americans Along Line. Washington, February 7-Legislation to give to President Taft added power to fuly protect Americans along the Mexican border in case of another Mexican outbreak at border points is to be introduced in the House soon by members of the foreign affairs committee. Representative Foster is formulating proposed laws that will meet the view the President and the State Department, as to the powers that should be given to the executive head of the government. CLAIMS HE WAS KIDNAPPED, But Elections Officials Returned in Time to Perform His Duties. Mays Landing, N.

February 7-On the charge of kidnapping a laborer employed by their concern to prevent him performing his duties as the Democratic member of the Board of Elections in Atlantic City at the election in November, 1910, Lyman J. Beyers, superintendent, and Charles Smallwood, foreman, of the Atlantic City Water Company, were placed on trial here today before Supreme Court Justice Kalisch. ICE CUT OFF BARREN ISLAND. Jamaica Bay Well Frozen-Roundabout Route by Sheepshead Bay. All navigation between Old Mill and Dead Horse Inlet in Jamaica Bay has been temporarily put at an end by the most serious freeze-over in years.

For space of seven miles the bay is a mass of ice, making it impossible to reach Barren Island, Roxbury or Ruffle Bay from Canarsie. Anthony DeKarski, an undertaker of 205 Driggs avenue, Williamsburg, got back from Barren Island this morning after he had been prevented by the ice from getting back last night. Police and Coroner's Physician Charles A. Wuest, who tried to cross to Barren Island last night, fought with the ice and wind for three hours and then had to turn back. DeKarski had gone over in the body of 6-months-old George Tuafternoon.

a He brought back today mulcy, who died yesterday, and whose death was supposed to demand a coroner's investigation. Today it was found the child died from pneumonia under circumstances that were not unusual.

CORWIN-HILL BACK Daughter of Morris Menges, Twice Married, Returns From Europe. Mrs. Roberta Menges-Corwin-Hill, whose matrimonial and smuggling experiences stirred up much discussion. in the early part of last year, arrived in port yesterday on the Hamburg-American liner Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. Mrs.

Hill was met at the pier by Mark Leuscher of Werba Luescher, the theatrical managers, and from an interview with him it developed that Mrs. Hiil is considering a stage career. Mrs. Hill had with her four dogs of high degree, which, she said, were to be used for breeding purposes. She was told that if she could prove the pedigree of the animals, the $80 duty which she was compelled to pay on them would be refunded.

Everything brought in by Mrs. Hill was examined with the greatest of care by the inspectors, who recognized the woman as the one who had been convicted of smuggling on December 9, 1910. Mrs. Hill on that occasion succeeded in getting into the port without duty a $6,000 sable coat and jewelry and other things valued at $2,700. She was arrested, and after a trial was sentenced to two and a half days in the Tombs and made to pay a fine of $2,000.

Mrs. Roberta Menges is the daughter of Morris Menges, a former well known race track man of Sheepshead Bay. She was first married at the age of 16 LU Halsey Corwin, a wealthy Brooklynite, and was divorced a short time later. Some time later her friends were astounded by the news that she had remarried, this time to a British army officer, Major James Hill. This romance lasted only for a a short period, and was terminated with a a a divorce.

Since that time Mrs. Hill has been dividing her time between Europe and America. CONVICT LABOR IN MINES. Men Convicted of Minor Offenses Used by Steel Says Witness.

The men were arrested on the complaint of Herman T. Adler, who conducts a paint store at 87 Ellery street.

When taken to the Vernon avenue station house, they were searched, and a jimmy was found on Sheehan. They will be brought before Magistrate Hylan in the Gates avenue court. SAYS HUSBAND DRANK LONG. Mrs. Pearl Crary Gets Detective to Testify in Divorce.

Supreme Court Justice Crane, listening to testimony today in the trial of undefended divorce suits, heard from a detective who was "shadowing" Clarence J.

Crary is seeking an absolute divorce from Crary. The detective also told of following Crary to a Harlem hotel. When asked it she wished alimony, Mrs. Crary said she didn't, as her husband hadn't been supporting her for twelve years. C.

BUNCH" TO MOVE. "McCooey Ousters" Looking for New Meeting Place. Tired of being called "that Democratic Club Bunch," as the story runs, the reform committee of one hundred and fifty Democrats who are seeking to oust County Leader John H. McCooey, have decided to hold no more meetings at the Brooklyn Democratic Club rooms, 224 Livingston street. The next meeting is set for February 15, and the leaders are hustling about looking for a beadquarters.

MOTHER AND CHILD BURNED. Ingorato Silvestre and her daughter. Philomana, who live at 993 Pacific street, were removed to the Swedish Hospital, yesterday afternoon, suffering from severe burns, received as a result of their clothes catching fire in the kitchen of their home. The woman left her daughter in the kitchen playing on the floor and went to the front of the house to do gome work, and in some way the clothing of the child caught fire. The mother hearing her screams, found her enveloped in flames.

Mrs. Silvestre, in her attempt to help her daughter, was also burned. BAD NEWS FOR FAT MEN; FASHION IS AGAINST 'EM McCooey and Other Rotund Democrats Hard Hit by 1912 Decree. REPUBLICANS BETTER FIXED. Kracke and Campbell, at Least, a la Mode, but Taft and Woodruff Must Reduce.

When Macklyn Arbuckle said "Nobody loves a fat man," he had the advance dope on the 1912 fashions. Just read this: Buffalo, N. February 7-Fashion's decree governing men's dress during 1912 again offers little comfort to the fat men, The dictum of the Custom Cutters Assoelation of America, now in session here, is as follows: "The slender man is to be the model of 1912. To be considered well dressed and well groomed a man must give the impression of slenderness. If he isn't naturally slender his tailor must adopt measures to make him appear so.

The effects must all tend to produce slenderness." Conservatism will be the watchword, according to Chairman H. P. Walker. There will be no padded shoulders and tighter fits will be the order of the day. Either plain or striped effects will be correct.

There's the decree, final and unappealable. In other words, the Taft style of beauty will not be considered a campaign asset. The good dresser will turn naturally to the leadership of Charles Warren Fairbanks, that tall sycamore of the Wabash. He is built on the right lines for 1912, which shows that he was a little in advance of the fashion in 1908. At last his length of limb has been rewarded and vindicated.

By the same token Wood- DOES IT MEAN MORE TROUBLE FOR MS COOEY row Wilson may still redeem his presidential boom. And Fred Kracke and Marcus Campbell seem to have it on John McCooey and Joe Cassidy, when it comes to proper proportions to put into clothes. These tWO Reupblicans seems to have been favorable by the Custom Cutters Association of America and it is understood that Chairman H. P. Walker, who made the slim lines decree, can have anything he wants from the Naval Officer and the Whispering Voice if he ever comes to Brooklyn.

Hefty Democrats May Reduce at the Primaries. For some of the hefty Democratic leaders encouragement is found in the fact that they must be able to reduce some in the primaries, but any violent exercise is advised against by the Tailor's Model. For instance, boxing enlarges the shoulders particularly, while it might reduce the waist some. Wrestling is good for general development, but fatal to the 1912 correct dresser. Those who heretofore have mourned that they never had broad, manly shoulders, at last are to be the heroes of the windows.

Instead of the hipless woman of 1912, it is to be the shoulderless men of 1912. To qualify properly from the 1912 fashion handicap, however, men should be paunchless, hipless, as well as shoulderless. One should reduce to the point where one dare not wear a belt, then one may smile the smile that comes to those who know they are correct. Lemons are good to take off weight, too. As a whole the outlook for "Pat" Quinn, Fred Lundy, "Jim" Regan, "Tom" R.

Farrell, "Tom" Byrnes, "Mike" Butler, "Dan" Carroll, Henry Haesenflug, Tammany Leader Murphy, "Jim" Sinnott and others of their type of physical perfection, seems rather discouraging. Imagine Byrnes, for instance, in a brilliant spring suit of mustard tan, fitting a bit! more tightly than this winter's English- cut suits. And Timothy Woodruff, who is nothing if not a good dresser, is also built along the wrong lines for 1912. All his clothes must be remodeled. Alderman John Diemer is in better luck.

But the Custom Cutters' ukase is enough to make the Taft smile vanish. Charles Warren Fairbanks may be acas the proper man from which all college and high school students should pattern. The 1912 style will be a la Eddie Foy and not a la Macklyn Arbuckle; a la Kracke, not McCooey. WILL RESUME MAIDEN NAME. Mrs.

Ethel L. Keese, Who Secured Divorce, Advertises Change. Through a personal advertisement in The Eagle Ethel L. Keese, in whose favor a final decree of divorce from George M. Keese was signed yesterday by Justice Marean of the Supreme Court, announces today that she intends to resume her maiden name.

Wife at Whitestone Charges Support and Desertion. (Special to The Eagle.) Paterson, N.

February 7-Richard Growney. an artilleryman, stationed for several years at Fort Totten, was arrested at the home of his brother, 214 Marshall street, this city, last night on a charge of nonsupport and desertion of his wife and child.

While in the artillery corps Growney said that he gave his wife $12 month.

He came here two weeks ago and has since been living at the home of his brother. Mrs. Growney and her child are living at present at 22 East Twelfth street, Whitestone, L. I. He was committed to jail in default of $1,000 bail.

WANTS TO EASE CONSCIENCE Nearly 40 Years Ago Boy Took Sunday School Money--Now Man Would Pay It Back. In the mail of the Rev. Dr. William B. Wallace, pastor of the Baptist Temple, Schermerhorn street and Third avenue, there came recently a letter in a strange hand.

The writer had a story to tell which interested the pastor greatly. Years and years before he had stolen some money from the Sunday school fund of the church at the time' it was on Nassau street. Now he wanted to restore it. Nearly forty years had elapsed since the time the writer, then a 15-year-old boy, had pilfered a small sum of money from the funds of the church. Most of those who attended the church at that time have long been in their graves.

Dr. Wallace has been in charge only two or three years and the incident was new to him. regular monthly meeting of the Board of Deacons, held last night, he asked the members of the board if they remembered anything about it, but none did. Dr. Wallace wrote his unknown correspondent today that the matter of restitution was something which rested with his own conscience.

"In the days when the church was on Nassau street," explained Dr. Wallace today, "a boy took a small sum of money from the Sunday school funds. That was in 1873. Nothing more was heard of it until five' days ago, when I received a letter in which I was informed that the boy had since grown to man's estate; that his conscience had troubled him and that he wished to return the amount that he had taken thirty-nine years ago. There is a powerful sermon in the facts if they are correctly told.

"I know nothing about the theft or how much it was. The man had no fortune. He is a person of modest means, as I understand it, and simply wanted to make restitution of the amount missing. The man has been converted within the last two or three years and his better nature has moved him to take this step. I wrote to him this morning to act according to the light of his own conscience." BROOKLYN GIRL WEDS BOXER.

Miss Alice Charles Bride of 'Frankie' Burns, Who Hopes to Be Champion. "Frankie" Burns, of Jersey City, who expects to be the bantam-weight champion of the world after February 18, has succumbed to the wiles of Dan Cupid.

On Sunday morning Burns left on an early train for New Orleans to make the final arrangements for his championship fight with "Johnny" Coulom on February 18.

MME. ADLER'S CONCERT. Matinee Musicale at Hotel Bossert by Pupils of the Contralto. A matinee musicale, arranged by Mme. Christine Adler for some of her pupils and with 'the well-known and popular contralto retiringly at the foot of the programme, was held with a large attendance yesterday afternoon in the parlors of the Hotel Bossert.

Three of the young women were debutantes, they sang with clear enunciation and fine tonal production, two prime requisites with Mme. Adler's instruction. Of these, Evelyn Fahnstock, a mezzo of great promise, sang "Ah, Let Me Dream" (Taylor), and "I Wonder if Ever the Rose" (D. Dick Slater). Marion Chrisfield, who has a very sympathetic voice, sang "Angels' Serenade" (Braga), and "Flower Song" (Hatch), and was followed by Antoinette Schemmer, whose voice has a beautiful, bell-like quality, and who gave "There Let Me Rest" (Greene) and Neidlinger's "The Rose in the Garden." Christine Sherwood, who has been heard with pleasure at previous recitals of Mme.

Adler, sang in fine voice and with a distinct dramatic quality, "Parted," by Tosti, and the old English air, "Bonnie, Sweet Bessie." Colorature execution and excellent quality were in evidence in Mabel Vollman's singing of "Villanelle" (Del' Acqua) and "If I But Knew," by Wilson Smith. She was the youngest pupil on the programme. There is rich quality in the contralto voice of Gertrude Eagan, who sang with fine effect "A Winter's Lullaby" (De Koven) and the ArmsFisher arrangement of "Under the Rose." Brilliancy characterized the singing of Katherine Mutterer in her singing of Reichardt's "Wenn Die Rosen Bluehen' and De Koven's "Tell Me Again, Sweetheart." Ruth Regnall showed that she has reached a high point of efficiency in her delivery of Denza's "Sing On" and Gounod's "Ave Meria." Easily she reached high natural and her trilling was a pleasure both to herself and her audience. She 18 to sing on February 14 at a big public concert in Brooklyn. Mme.
