1 i I THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY. JULY 9, 1918. TO NAME QUEENS MAN FOR P. S.

COMMISSION Makes Promise at Conference With Judge Humphrey. IS NO VACANCY NOW County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey stated today that at a conference with Governor Whitman yesterday afternoon, in the St. Regis Hotel, Manhattan, the Governor had said that Queens was entitled to a representative on the Public Service Commission. The Judge represented the civic associations of the borough and the conference was arranged to urge the State Executive to name a Queens man on the commission. At the celebration opening of the road to Jamaica, on July 2, one of the speakers declared that Governor Whitman, although he had had a chance to appoint a full board, had repeatedly ignored the Borough of Queens and that the Governor, by his omisison, had, in effect, declared that there had not been found in the whole of Queens Borough, men of sufficient breadth and ability to serve on that board.

The result was that Judge Humphrey was appointed to take up the matter with the Governor. Judge Humphrey made the following statement today: saw Governor Whitman by appointment yesterday afternoon, and pointed out to him the urgency and importance of having a resident of Queens on the Public Service Commission. I took occasion to tell him that the problem of transit in Queens had become the vital need. of its people; that a resident of Queens, if appointed on the Public Service Commission, began with a full and complete knowledgeg of the needs of this borough, while those coming from other boroughs to study our needs here, did not and could not know or learn them until their terms had half expired. striking example of this is the failure to directly connect the partly owned city subway used by the Long Island Railroad at Flatbush avenue, accommodating the people of East New York and Jamaica, and other intermedite points.

A still more costly and unnecessary blunder was the failure to connect the B. R. T. Fourth avenue subway with the Long Island Railroad. No such blunders have taken place in the Borough of Bronx nor have any occurred in Brooklyn, except where the lines ran into Queens County.

"Governor Whitman declared to me that Queens was entitled to have a place on Public Service Commission and that he intended to appoint Queens man on the Commission. The Governor said that he did not intend to appoint a Queens man to fill the Straus vacancy but would make an appointment for Queens after that one had been filled." "I know of no other vacancy," concluded the judge, reflectively, "but asthat the Governor has knowledge." Inquiry at the Public Service Commission regarding another vacancy on the board, elicited no other information and no light could be shed on the Governor's statement. WILL OPPOSE WHITMAN (Special to The Eagle.) Great Neck, July 9-The Republicans of the northern section of Nassau County claim that they are going to show their resentment against the renomination of Governor Charles S. Whitman because he signed the bill creating an additional supervisor for the town of Hempstead. Up to date considerable opposition is manifesting itself in the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay against Mr.

Whitman's renomination. The bill which the Governor approved, gives the town of Hempstead control of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Whitman signed this bill over the opposition of Supervisor Remsen and 1 other Republican leaders of the county.

OPPONENT Will Be Renominated for Third Term in Congress by Democrats. TO START CAMPAIGN SOON. No Man Has Ever Served District Over the Second Time.

Congressman Charles Pope Caldwell of Queens, representing the Second Congressional District, is to be renominated by the Democratic organization this year. He is now completing his second term. His election seems assured, for he has been given assurances the Republican leaders, that no opposition candidate will be named. If such be the case, Queens is one of the first districts in the country to set aside party lines so as to keep the present war Congress intact. I "I shall be the regular Democratic candidate for Congress this year," said the Congressman, when seen at Democratic headquarters.

have not started my petitions and will not do so until after July 25, as the Executive Committee of the County Committee has decided that no organization petitions will be placed in circulation til after the Saratoga convention. And I do not expect any opposition on the Republican ticket. I have been given to understand by the leaders of that party that they do not intend to place a candidate in the field." If Caldwell is elected for a third term he will be the first man from this district who has ever held office for that length of time. His work at Washington during his past two years has been of the most important character. He is the first Queens man to ever become a member of the Committee on Military Affairs and 'his membership en that committee at these times has been a great honor to the Congressman and to his district.

He is chairman of the sub-committee on naval aviation, and it is through him that the plans of the committee on the war have been made known through his speeches in Congress. GRAFTON-JOHNSON. Mrs. William H. Mims of Bayside, L.

The bride was attended by her mother. She wore white beaded Georgette, with a veil and coronet of 'old point lace, and carried white sweet peas. The young couple stood under an American flag during the ceremony. Only American music was played at the reception.

He did not continue in the Navy, but when the United States entered the war he enlisted and received his commission as captain in the Army. The bride was formerly of Maryland and is a cousin Mr. Bradish Johnson of New York. Captain Grafton is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

R. Grafton of Pittsburg. After the ceremony the bride drove the bridegroom and best man back to their camp, and Captain Grafton is now on his way to France. G.

I. CITY This Month's Contingent Will Practically Exhaust Lists of Three Districts. NEW ENROLLMENT LIMITED. Forty Men in Second Division, Suffolk, May Be Reclassified. When the three draft boards in Long Island City send away their quotas some time between July 15 and 25, their Class 1 lists will have been almost completely exhausted.

District 171, in Hunterspoint, must send all of the 141 men it has in that class: District 172, in Astoria, will send 110 of its 125 available men, and District 173, in Steinway, will send 70 of its available 75 men. This means that nearly all men who are sent away during August, September and October, must come from those who registered on June 5. District 171 registered 180, District 172, registered 208. and District 173 registered 210. The physical examination will reduce this number to some extent, possibly as much as 10 per cent.

and perhaps more. Some of the new registrants will also be placed in deferred classes because of dependents, but not many will be affected by such a condition. When all of the men are classified and examined physically, the class lists will only contain sufficient men to last for four or five months at the best. What will be done then, none of the draft board officials could state. Unless the draft age is raised, which Congress is now considering, Class 2 men will be subject to call by the first of the year.

All of the boards in Long Island City expect to start classifying the new registrants this week and hope to notify the men of the classes in which they appear by the end of the week or early next week. It will be three or four weeks before the physical examinations start. New lists will be completed by the board in time for the call expected some time during the latter part of August. May Reclassify Forty Men. Bay Shore, L.

July 9---The legal advisory board of the Local Exemption Board of Division No. 2 of Suffolk County will meet this week at headquarters in the Fire Department building, and give personal hearings to some forty men who have been enjoying deferred classification. These men will have to show cause why they should not be placed in Class 1 and made available for immediate military call. Most of the forty have been in Class IV. Those who are reclassified and put in Class 1 will be examined by the medical staff at the same time that the he 21-year registrants are called for examination.

With few exceptions the questionnaires sent out to the new registrants have been returned and the men are being classified accordingly. NELSEN-OCKERS. Sayville, L. July 9--In St. Ann's rectory, the Rev.

Court has journed until October, that is, the Supreme Court, but County Judge Lewis J. Smith, following the practice he started when inducted into office, comes to his chambers daily. The Town of Oyster Bay is about $20,000 richer this year than last. Indeed it is more than that, as last year the town was in debt to the extent of about $12,000. Neither Supervisor W.

H. Seaman, nor the other trustees claim economy as the reason for this fact. They have been liberal with the expenses--liberal to the extent of providing for every town necessity. The only reason the supervisor can ascribe is that of running the town under the budget system. It has enabled them to know just what money could be expended and how much was on hand for the town charges.

With a good working surplus the town board members feel a greater impetus to go along on these lines of progress. The law compels the boards of supervisors in counties having a population of over 100,000, to establish dog pounds in its townships. Nassau ty has no dog pounds. Stray dogs have wandered around at random, checked, until the State Department of Agriculture stepped in and put this important duty of dog catching up to the county.

Smith and a jury in behalf of the State against Louis Schwab and his wife, Annie, who are jointly charged With maintaining a disorderly house at Schwab's chop-suey restaurant, in Freeport. The charges grew out of the fact that soldiers have frequented the hotel and several alleged disorderly acts occurred. Assistant District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards called on the Rev. Dr.

Saul O. Curtice, formerly pastor of the Free. port M. E. Church, and the Rev.

Dr. J. Gould, pastor of the Freeport Presbyterian Church, to give their opinion of the reputation of Schwab's place.
