August Frederick Beler, 50 years old, who lives with his friend, Joseph Swickert, at 2192 Metropolitan avenue, Middle Village, Queens, was yesterday adjudged competent to manage an estate of 000 which had been left him by his mother. This was the unanimous vote of a sheriff's jury of nineteen men empaneled by Sheriff Thomas M. Quinn of Queens County. The verdict was given the face of the evidence of two physicians that he was mentally weak, because of Beier's ability to discuss political affairs. answer questions concerning the history of his family and his positive answers concerning what he would do in the event of someone stealing his money.

The application to have Beier declared an incompetent and a committee appointed for the management of his property was made by John H. Beier, a member of the police force of the city of Buffalo, who is a second cousin, and who would inherit a considerable portion of the estate should Beler die without making a will. The Buffalo man also backed up by several brothers "and sisters who would also- get a share of the $28,000 estate in such. a contingency. The inquest was before Dr.

Joseph J. O'Connell of Brooklyn. The principal testimony in support of the contention of incompetency was given by Dr. T. J.

Burnett of Long Island City and Dr. P. Joseph York of Brooklyn. They stated that from an examination of Beler they were convinced that he was an idiot. When Attorney Eugene N.

L. Young, who represented Beier, cross the physicians, however, they testified that he displayed both judgment and memory. Beter was on the witness stand for more than an hour, and during the whole time he did not once get confused. The fury was out but a few minutes when it returned a verdict that Beier WaS competent. He was discharged by Dr.

O'Connell and left for his home with his friend swickert. He said that he proposed to leave his money invested as it is at the present time, and continue to spend the income, which is sufficient for his needs. $35 FROM MOTHERS CLUB.

QUEENS TROLLEY MUST SPRINKLE STREETS Will in Future Be Held to a Strict Compliance With City Ordinance. CAN BEPUNISHED FORNEGLECT All Pipe and Conduit Repairs Under Streets to Be Permanently Improved Ordered Done at Once. Patrons of the trolley roads in Queens are not to be choked by dust stirred up by the passage of the cars in which they are riding, if Superintendent Brandon of the borough Highway Bureau can prevent it. The sprinkling of the tracks of the company, under an ordinance of the city, must be done by the trolley companies, and it is the duty of the Superintedent of Highways to see that it is done. In former years, about this season, notices have been sent to the management of the roads to get out their sprinkling carts, but the work has been done indifferently or not at all.

Yesterday, however, Superintendent Brandon took another course. "I sent notices to the trolley companies to get busy with their sprinkling carts," said d. Superintendent Brandon. "This is not the usual perfunctory notice that has been sent out in former years, however. I stated to the management that I expected the springling to be done every day, as required by the city nance, and that I had instructed my inspectors to make daily inspections and report to me how the work is done.

If the sprinkling is not done, 80 I have informed the companies, I will report each violation 1,0 the corporation counsel, as I an directed to do under the ordinance. "I called my inspectors in and gave the instructions as I have indicated. Of course. I can do no more than order this work done and then report violations to the corporation counsel. I have been advised, however, that the corporation counsel will proceed vigorously with any complaints made." Public Service Concerns Ordered to Hasten Repair Work Under Beds of Streets to Be Improved.

For the first time in the history of the borough a sensible course has been taken with public service corporations which have conduits and pipes under the bed of a street which is about to be permanently improved. This action has been taken by Superintendent Brandon with regard to Jackson avenue, which is soon to be repaved, with asphalt for part of the way and asphalt block for the remainder. Notice has been sent to the corporations that they must make all contemplated improvements to their underground property in this street at once, for after the pavement has' been laid down no permits to open the street will be granted for at least a year. The result has been that several of the companies are laying new conduits and others are repairing their pipe lines in the streets. Heretofore no such notice has been given to the corporations, and within a short time after a job paving has been, done applications have been received for opening up the street and the pavement has been ruined from the start.

Superintendent Brandon says that it is such tearing up of the pavements, that makes the work of maintenance SO dimcult. BRIDGE CONTRACT LET.

TALKS OF CHURCH'S DUTY. Says It Is to Give Man a Saner Outlook on Life, and Act as a Leaven. Huntington, L. May 10-Last evening the Rev. Dr.

James Jeffrey Johnstone was installed as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of place by the Presbytery of Nassau: Moderator Frank M. this, Kerr of Hempstead presided over the services. The installation sermon was delivered by Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church of New York.

Dr. Parkhurst spoke on "The Sanctuary and the Sanctuary Services." He spoke of the important place occupied by the church in the affairs of the world, and said he believed that the church exerted an ever increasing influence over the life of modern people. "It is stated with some reason," said Dr. Parkhurst, "that in our modern scheme of life church attendance is falling off. There are two main reasons for this condition.

In the first place, our life has become so strenuous and the time every man is so completely filled in the lot mad whirl of business and social life, that there seems to be a lack of time: for proper devotional services. And in the second place, we have almost completely outgrown the condition where the congregations looked up to their ministers as their intellectual superiors, and toward them for their information on affairs of the day, as well as on the literature and philosophy of past ages. We are daily becoming better educated race, and men study for themselves the philohophy of life and map out their own course of conduct." A Better Day May Soon Dawn for the Churches. "I think the time is fast approaching, however," continued Dr. Parkhurst, "when we will realize that the stress of modern life presents a new necessity for spiritual thought, and the setting aside of some for devotional services.

The church should act as a leaven and give us a saner outlook on life. The fulfilling of this mission of the church depends to a large extent on the minister, and he should attempt in a broad-minded way to direct the thoughts of his people, and at the same time interest himself in the questions that are stirring the people of to-day. "In many cases there is a spiritualism that is not directly associated with the church. This is the worship arising from the inner heart. Proper credit should be given this form of worship, for it is potent in directing the affairs of the world." The opening prayer was.

given by the Rev. Dr. W. I. Barton of the Methodist Church, after which the Rev.

S. H. Seem, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, read from the Scriptures. The installation prayer. was offered by the Rev.

Dr. Samuel T. Carter of Plainfield, N. who for thirty-three years was pastor of the old First Church here. Dr.

Carter attended the installation with considerable effort, and was a striking figure at the services. Charge to the Pastor Impressive. The installation exercises were con-1 ducted by the moderator, the Rev. Dr. Kerr, after which the charge to the tor was delivered by the Rev.

Dr. A. T. Russell of Oyster Bay. Dr.

Russell spoke of the significance of the coming to the churches of this country of pastors from England, the mother country, and said he believed it meant a closer and deeper union between the countries. He hoped it prophesied 2 peace, agreement between England and America, and that such an agreement would stand as an example to all other countries, so that a universal peace might result. The charge to the congregation was delivered by the Rev. R. G.

Leetch, paste? of Sage Memorial Church at Far Rockaway. He advised the congregation in its relations with the pastor to magnify his office. "As a man of God, he comes to as a pastor," 'said the Rev. Mr. you Leetch.

"Receive him as a priest of God, and let him be the leader of the flock in spiritual communion and spiritual endeavor." The Rev. Dr. Johnstone pronounced the benediction. LYNBROOK HAS A "COP," But Neither He Nor the Village Board Can Stop the Boxing Bouts There. Lynbrook, L.

TO IMPROVE MILL HILL State's Plans for Glen Cove Road Work Not Approved. Oyster Bay Town Board Has Another Idea, Which Is Likely to Be Followed Out. Glen Cove, L.

May 10-Plans and specifications for a proposed improvement to Mill Hill, Glen Cove, were on Monday submitted to the town board by the State Highway Department. Mill Hill is one of the roads which a few years ago was inclued in the state road system. Several weeks ago application was made to have the roadway extending from the junction of School and Glen streets, Glen Cove to Mill Hill, improved by grading and filling in. This thoroughfare is more or less of a hollow, with a steep grade, and this disadvantage it is planned to overcome. According to the plans presented to the town board, the state intends to fill in about a foot and a half deep from School street to Mill Hill.

Supervisor Cocks believes that this proposed improvement as planned by the state will not be as effective as if the roadway was filled in perhaps to 8. depth of 10 or 12 feet and thus have it conform to the grading of School and Glen streets and Mill Hill. In fact, unless the state will agree to make this desired change it is very probable that the town board will refuse to approve of the plans, which is a necessary proceeding. Supervisor Cocks intends to have a meeting of the citizens who are particularly interested in the improvement one evening this week, to determine the sentiment regarding the change. whose Property owners along the roadway, homes would be below the street level were the improvement made according to Supervisor Cocks' idea, would be willing to have their houses raised to the level to conform with the grading.

The whole proposition if carried out would make the property in the vicinity more valuable for business purposes, and particularly more valuable, as the roadway is almost in the heart of the village.

Riverhead Firm Gets Contract at Cents Per Page for 62,000 Pages. BROOKLYN CONCERN BID LOWER But Board, After Long Wrangle, Decides Latter's Tender Was Not According to Specifications. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L.

May 10-There was a 'merry little scrap at the session of the Suffolk Supervisors on Monday night and yesterday over awarding a contract to supply the taxbooks for the county for 1911, and eventually Messrs. Hagen Lee of Riverhead won out, being awarded a contract to supply about 180 books for the ten towns at a cost of cents a page, or about $1,700. Buying the tax books for the county has always been left to the clerk of the board heretofore. Last year the supply of books needed was unusually large, and the bill for them was pretty high. One county paper printed a that the books cost too much, be statement, provided for much less money, SO this year the board determined to ask for bids.

Last year there were 121 books in all, ruled to order, properly printed and bound. Nolan Bros. of Brooklyn bid $1,060 for providing 121 books this year, and privately stated to the committee of repairs and supplies that had the matter in charge that it would furnish any additional books needed at a pro rata price. Hagen Lee bid cents a. page, and added to their bid a statement that this price, based on last year's number of books (121), would mean that those books could have been provided for and they pointed out, too, that this was a saving of about $1,300 over the price paid for the books last year.

Successful Firm Apparently Not the Lowest Bidders. It was admitted that the county will require about 180 books in all, containing about 62,000 pages, specially ruled, bound and printed. Nolan Bros. said nothing about a price per page; they merely agreed to furnish 121 books for a set price, and 'stated to the committee that others would be supplied pro rata. The committee opened the bids, there being three of them, that of William Mann being $1,694, and reported to the board, recommending that the lowest bid (Nolan be accepted.

This brought a storm of protest from Hagen Lee, who were in the board room. They pointed out that Nolan Bros. had not complied with committee's advertisement and had submitted no per page bid. After more less talk, the matter was again referred to the committee for that body to again take under consideration the question of what really comprised lowest bid--the board wanted the committee to interpret Nolan bid and statement and the Hagen Lee bid. Yesterday morning the committee again reported that it recommended giving the contract to lowest bidder, Nolan Bros.

After more talk the board thot went into executive session, and finally awarded the contract to Hagen Lee, which on its face is $90 higher than' Nolan Bros. Moho full board decided that Nolan Bros. not bid according to the committee's advertisement. The little scrap caused some friction for a time, and considerable fun at other times, during its progress. B.

F. Howell of Riverhead was awarded a contract to furnish 300 tons of stove coal for the court house here. His bid was $6.75, delivered. The only other bidder was Riverhead Coal Company, whose bid was $6.85 a ton. Board's Complaint Against L.

I. R. R. Ordered Closed by P. S.

Board. The Public Service Commission wrote the Supervisors yesterday that the complaint of the board regarding the passenger, freight and express rates of the Long Island Railroad had been ordered closed, because two of the members of the committee that had this matter in charge had failed of re-election, and that SO far as the old board was concerned this was now a dead issue. It was William H. Burroughs of Brooklyn, who owns much property around Lindenhurst, who started this controversy. He contended that the railroad discriminated against Long Island, and charged more for passenger, freight and express service than other roads entering.

New York. Mr. Burroughs wanted the Public Service Commission to order the railroad to charge less. He brought the matter to the attention of the Supervisors; they discussed it, and appointed a committee to go ahead with the matter. Messrs.

Tuthill of Southold and Homan of Riverhead were two members of the committee. They failed of re-election at town meeting, in April. One or two hearings were held in the matter, but nothing has ever been done. Now the matter is closed, by order of the Public Service Commission. FISHING SEASON OPENS.
