a THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. 1918. 13 1 AND CONWAY CITY MAGISTRATES; TAX JOB TO WILLIAMS Ryan, Candidate for $8,000 Post, Appointed to Education Board by Hylan.

ONE CONNOLLY MAN LOSES Tax Commissioner. Richard H. William. $7.000 City Magistrates. Harry Miller.

$7,000 James J. Conway. $7,000 Supervisor City Record. Peter $5,000 Member Board of Education. George J.

salary Mayor Hylan yesterday appointed former Magistrate James J. Conway of Long Island City to a ten-year term to succeed Magistrate Edward Clark of Jamaica, whose time expired December 31. Magistrate Clark was only appointed several months ago by Mayor Mitchel to succeed Magistrate Conway. Magistrate Harry Miller was reappointed. Both men were in by Mayor Hylan at noon yesterday.

Magistrate Conway was first appointed to the bench by Mayor Gay. nor in January of 1912, and served five and a half years to fill out the unexpired term of Magistrate John Gilroy of Far Rockaway, deceased. Magistrate Miller was also appointed by Mayor Gaynor six years ago to fill out the unexpired term of Borough President Connolly. His term expired on Monday, Magistrate Miller is the choice of Borough President Connolly. Magistrate Conway was not suggested by either Connolly or Keating, but neither him.

Francis X. Sullivan of Elmhurst was the man suggested by Connolly for the position. Conway is a close friend of Mayor Hylan. Magistrate Conway is president of the St. Patrick's Society of the Borough of Queens.

Mayor Hylan's recognition of, Borough President Connolly and his selection of Connolly organization men for Queens offices has given the official blow that is expected kill all Borough hopes of the President Keating Connolly in faction. one has claimed for the past week that he was to receive full recognition from the Mayor in the way of appointments. His claim is well supported with the appointment of Richard Williams of College Point to the post of Tax Commissioner from Queens. Williams has been first deputy in charge of the Queens office under Commissioner John Halleran. He does not lose his place on the Civil Service list and when the term of his new office expires he will be restored to his former position.

He has been attached to the tax department ever since consolidation. Before that he was a tax assessor for the Town of Flushing. George J. Ryan, Fuel Administrator and president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Borough of Queens, who is named for the Board of Education, is like Connolly, a personal friend of the Mayor and, like Conway, formed that friendship when Hylan studied law in Long Island- City. Both Ryan and Magistrate Conway had charge of the Hylan Business Men's Committee of Queens.

Mr. Ryan is also active in church work and is allied with of the most influential Catholic some. organizations in the city. Ryan was Keating's candidate for the job Williams got. Connolly Preparing Slate.

Borough President Connolly said today that he might give out his slate tomorrow. The slate depends upon whether or not Carl Vogel, who was legislated out of office on Monday, is named as Park Commissioner of Queens. If Vogel is not selected for that position, he will be given a place on the Connolly cabinet, probably that of Commissioner of Sewers in place of John R. Higgins of Jamaica. In addition to the position of Park Commissioner, a Deputy Commismissioner of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity is still to be selected.

Democratic heads will cause a general upheaval in both departments. change in the tax department will be that of Williams. All other employees are listed under civil service. Queens attorneys are also watching with considerable interest for any change in the Queens Bureau of Street Openings, Walter M. Shepherd of Elmhurst now holds the position Assistant Corporation Counsel.

Although a Mitchel the appointee, there is a report that will be permitted to stay there by the new city administration, as the office is one of a technical nature and long experi- ence is regarded as almost a necessity. Civil Service protects the other jobs in the office. Peter J. Brady, who was named by Hylan to' be supervisor of the City Record, is president of the Allied Printing Trades Council. He had the macking of labor interests and of Hearst.

His home is in Astoria, SAG HARBOR MAKES MERRY (Special to The Eagle.) Sag Harbor, L. January 2-The Atheneum Social Hall, accommodating 1,000 people, proved to be much too small to comfortably house all who bought tickets in support of the reception, entertainment dance given here by the Public Service Committee last night. Committees in the Hamptons joined with the Sag Harbor workers to make the occasion a great success, both socially and financially. Special transportation rates between the villages were arranged. From Montauk Aviation Camp sixty men under their commanding officer, Lieutenant Mitschner, attended in uniform.

Public officials were present, among them James R. Richardson, Clerk of Suffolk County; Supervisors Redfield and Tiffany, Justices of the Peace Kendrick and Jackson, and Town Clerk J. A. Early. HYLAN'S APPOINTEES TO BENCH IN QUEENS HAVE SERVED MANY YEARS IN CITY COURTS Parch Thea Harry Miller.

Magistrate James J. Conway, Magistrate Glen Cove Is Now a City; Council Hands Out Jobs (Special to The Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. January 2--With the end the Old Year and the beginning of the New Year, Glen Cove as a village died and Glen Cove as a city was born, giving the community a distinction of being Long Island's only city, outside of Greater New York. If Joseph Carpenter, who settled here in 1668, came here now with some of his early descendants they would indeed be amazed and, present-day citizens believe, proud of the fact that Glen Cove has outgrown being a part of the township of Oyster Bay. With the dying year the first Mayor, Dr.

James E. Burns, and the commissioners were sworn in at Mineola on Monday, so that yesterday the new officials were able to hold their first organization meeting and thus have a record of first legal proceedings on their minute books. Several appointments were made. Daniel J. Fogarty, who has been clerk of the Glen Cove Justice Court.

was appointed City Clerk at a salary of $1,500 a var. Michael H. Stapleton was appointed Deputy Commissioner of Public Works at a yearly salary of E. T. HAZLETON GETS $4,000 JOB; ADEL OUT O'Leary Aid, Offered Lower Po-: sition, Resigns.

Edgar F. Hazelton, Republican, of Jamaica was sworn in as Assistant District Attorney of Queens yesterday morning, filling the $4,000 place made vacant by the resignation of Fred C. De Witt. Because of the appointment of Hazelton to this position, rather than to one of the three assistants positions paying only $3,000, Frank Adel, for the past six years an assistant with the $3,000 rating, resigned his position late afternoon. He had demanded be proMonday, moted to the $4,000 berth.

The resignation of Adel made an other vacancy in the staff of District Attorney O'Leary, but one that was not unexpected. Mr. O'Leary had known of Adel's attitude for some weeks. Late Monday evening he notified Charles S. Colden, a Whitestone Democrat, that he was slated the test position of deputy assistant district attorney, at a salary of $2,100.

Mr. Colden was sworn in yesterday with the rest of the staff. County Judge Burt J. Humphrey administered the oath to Mr. O'Leary and his staff of assistants in the District Attorney's office.

'Adel brought about the promotion of two men in the office. James F. Barry of Long Island City, who for the past three years has been chief clerk at a salary $2,400, was made an assistant district attorney, with full power to appear before the Grand Jury. His salary goes to $3,000. William F.

Ryan of Jamaica, rated as a deputy assistant district attorney at a salary of $2,100 a year, becomes chief clerk in place of Barry, at $2,400. Mr. Colden, the new Democratic appointee, takes the lowest position of any of the attorneys. William F. Morris of Far Rockaway and Theodore J.

Groh of Elmhurst are both continued as assistants at $3,000. William Meyer of Evergreen is again confidential secretary, and William F. Borges of Woodside was reappointed special investigator. Mr. O'Leary expressed his regret at Mr.

Adel's resignation. He was first appointed by District Attorney Smith. The attaches of the office presented Mr. O'Leary with a handsome electric lamp with a large photograph of Fred C. De Witt, the retiring assistant.

Mr. De Wit was formerly District Attorney, and the photograph will be hung in the office. Father Saladino of St. Mary's Church, Long Island City, led a delegation of members of the Knights of Mount Carmel, who presented Mr. O'Leary with a floral horseshoe.

LECTURE IN PARENTAL SCHOOL. A new public lecture center will be opened in the New York Parental School, Jamaica road, Flushing, 011 Saturday night. Thomas McTiernan of Ottawa University will speak on "Burke, the Friend of the American first of a course of four lectures on "Great Statesmen." Issued 3,796 Marriage Licenses During 1917; Married 413 Couples The high cost of living and the price of coal did not prevent any marriages in Queens last year (and do not forget that last year is none other than 1917 you have been writing on the top of your letters until yesterday). Deputy City Clerk William R. Zimmerman, who has learned to ask a young lady her age without blushing, put that question to 3,796 of them during 1917 and, incidentally, issued that number of marriage licenses, at the same time pocketing $1 for each.

The pocketing was only temporary, however, as Father Knickerbocker collected it at once. Of the couples who received their licenses to wed. 413 of them had the ceremony performed by Clerk Zimmerman at $2 each. That times are prosperous in Queens is evidenced the fact that is an increase of 480 licenses over 1916, when 3.316 were issued, and an increase of 252 city weddings for the borough over the 181 of the year previous. The increase was swelled somewhat.

however, by the slacker weddings that eccurred during April and May, when NASSAU EXCEEDS RED CROSS QUOTA Latest Report Shows 30,208 Members in County. (Special to The Eagle.) Garden City, L. January 2-- Nassau County has its 30,000 members for the Red Cross. The latest report, covering work done up to Sunday, was that 208 more than the quota had been secured. The final count will be made today, when it is expected that the figures will show nearly 1.000 surplus.

It 19 estimated from the workers' reports that more than 50 per cent of the county's population has joined. Port Washington brought its percentage up to an even 200, showing memberships of 3,300, with a quota of 1,650. Sea Cliff was a close second, with a total membership of 1,002 and a quota of 600, with a percentage of 167. Brookville finished third. Port Washington, Oyster Bay, Hempstead and Glen Cove contributed one-third of the total memberships.

E. Fred Eastman, business manager of the Red Cross Magazine, reports that as a result of Red Cross drive 600,000 subscriptions to the official magazine of the "Army of Mercy" have been turned in; 000 copies for the month February are on the press and 1.300.000 copies of the March number will be issued. One of the features of the campaign in this country for memberships was the work of large employers, who signed up their help as members. John J. Lannon of the Garden City Hotel reported 100 per cent.

Riverhead, L. January 2-What the Surrogate regards as one of the most peculiar looking wills was the instrument of Edward J.

O'Halloran of Sag Harbor, disposing of a small estate. The will was denied probate. It appeared from the witnesses that Mr. O'Halloran procured a printed will form. On this he attempted to make will, writing it at piecemeal.

After he had written some of it he had two witnesses sign the paper. Then he rubbed out some he had written and wrote some more. Still later his little daughter also wrote some, she testified. When the whole Instrument was completed and presented to the Surrogate it presented an odd appearance. with its erasures, its different handwriting, some in print, and its interlineations.

Because the witnesses testified that testator did not say it was a will when they signed it--one of them said, in fact, that he did not know what he was signing--and because some of the will was written after it was signed, the Surrogate wrote a memorandum refusing to probate the will.

Mrs. Elsie Kline, widow of Malcolm Kline, chief gunner on the S.

S. Oklahoma, who died from spinal meningitis on Christmas Day the Naval Hospital at Philadelphia, is anxiously waiting for information from the Government today which will advise her of the whereabouts of her husband's body, which left Philadelphia on December 26, consigned to Corona, L. I. The funeral was to have been held last week from the home of Mrs. Kline's Mrs.

Lane, 26 Thirty-eighth Chief Gunner Kline had made his home at Corona since he enlisted in the navy six years ago. His mother, Mrs. Myrtie Morse, lives at Spokane, Washington. She was advised of her death and was anxious to be present at his funeral, but she feared that the trip from the Pacific Coast would take too much time. She believes now that he has been buried several days.

After his death Mrs. Kline requested the Government officials at the Philadelphia Navy Yard to have the remains forwarded 10 her home at Corona, L. 1., and they assured the widow that her wishes would be carried out. Kline came to Corona the day following the death of the young man, expecting the body to arriye at about the same time. Mrs.

Kline instructed M. Grossmann, undertaker of Jackson avenue. Corona, to meet the train at Jersey City. The undertaker met every incoming train from Philadelphia. Government and railroad officials are trying to trace the body.

With the passing away of Malcolm Kline, the incident marks the third death in the family during the past year. On last Easter, Mr. and Mrs. Kline lost their twin children, a boy and a girl, infants. There are no other children.

Gunner Malcolm Kline will be remembered as being a member of the U. S. gun crew on the oil tank steamer Vacuum, which was torpedoed and sunk early in 1917 by homeward German submarine on the vovaze of the tanker. James McDonald, a.

January 2--Two women and six men in one party had the thrilling experience of walking across the ferry between Shelter Island and this place on the ice on Monday, This is the first time this has been accomplished in many years and is said be the first time in the memory of the present generation that it has been done in December. The party that made the trip was composed of Mrs. A. E. Jones, Mrs.

Moses B. Grifting, Marvin Shiebler of Brooklyn; Richard Johnson, Russell Conklin, Moses B. Grifting, Joe Nicholl, Wesley Smith and Joe Mack. Mr. Griffing carried the mail across on the ice.

Watson of Great Neck, who had been recently commissioned by the town board to prepare a map of the election districts of the town, has notiboard the approval of the amendment which would give women the right to vote would greatly increase the number of voters in the town, and that the Election Law limited the number of voters in each district to 400. There are now almost 5,000 voters in the town and there a are thirteen election districts. Some of these districts now contain more than the legal number of voters as shown by the vote for Governor. Mr. Watson says it would be a needless expense to proceed with the work under these circumstances and he would wait the action of the board in reapportioning the district.

From present indications it looks as though the board will have to add seven more districts, making a total of 20. UPTON SOLDIER DIES (Special to The Eagle.) Cedarhurst, L. January 2--- Funeral services for John R. Lantry son of Mr. and Mrs.

Kennahan, editor of the North Hempstead Record, a weekly paper published here, who recently brought a taxpayers action against Thomas O'Connell, Town Clerk of North Hempstead, basing his claim for action on a report filed by State Controller Eugene Travis, in an article in the current issue of his newspaper states that the "Controller was wrong." Mr. Kennehan in his newspaper says that "in the examination of the affairs of Town Clerk O'Connell's office by State Controller Travis' accountants, and the report which they made thereon in August, 1915, the Town Clerk was allowed but $2 per day for attending meetings of the town board. The accountants made a mistake. Mr. O'Connell was entitled to $4 per day.

The Record here and now does the Town Clerk the justice to say so."

PETTY DIES; EX-SURROGATE rushes through the harbor, with cur. at rents the going same up time. and down This both strong shores keeps the harbor from freezing when other salt water is frozen solid. Monday it was found that the bor was completely frozen, but no one at first believed that it was solid enough to walk on from shore to shore.

As it seemed necessary to transport the mail and as other people were very anxious to cross over to the mainland, it was decided to try to walk across. Some of the men walked ahead, testing the ice with long oars every step. lined Others dragged a rowboat to be in an emergency, In this way was the hazardous trip a accomplished, and all breathed a sigh of relief when the Greenport side was reached. At some places, where the tide rushed the swiftest, it was found that the ice was four inches thick and decidedly hard for salt water ice. WAR ON PRINCIPAL DIVIDES BAYSIDE Demand for Mrs.

Potter's Removal Not Unanimous. Members of the Mothers Club of the Bayside Public Schools, at Bayside, have forwarded a a a a a a a a petition to the Board of Education asking for the transfer of Mrs. Jennie L. Potter, principal of the schools there. The petition was circulated by John J.

Strettle, whose wife is of the prominent members of Mothers othe About a month ago Mrs. Potter arranged for a sale for the benefit of a the Bayside Auxiliary of the Red Cross, in Public School No. 41 on Crocheron avenue, and appealed through the children to secure articles from their parents for the sale, and to also do sewing at home. Some members of the Mothers Club objected to this action. "Mrs.

Potter sent a boy for whom I am the legal guardian, peddling articles that were left over from the sale," said John Strettle. "I called Mrs. Potter on the telephone and told her that at that time, 10 o'clock in the morning, an 8-year-old child should be attending to his studies in school. Mrs. Potter was insolent and said that she herself was the sole custodian of the child during school hours.

We found that other parents had similar complaints to make. In one instance a child in the 2B grade was requested to do sewing on an old rag carpet at home. We found that Mrs. Potter was acting without authority in having the children do these things." Mrs. Potter before assuming charge of the Bayside School was in charge of Public School No.

23, Flushing. "I I am asked for an accounting by my superiors, I will be ready to answer," said Mrs. Potter today. "It is true we held a Red Cross sale at the school. We earned over $500.

My school has the distinction of being one of the first schools in the Greater City to organize a Junior Auxiliary for the Red Cross. We have the distinction of flying the first Red Cross flag over a schoolhouse of the Greater City. This auxiliary was organized by the teachers and pupils over the protest of the Mothers Club." The sentiment in Bayside is divided, many mothers believing that Mrs. Potter is doing a patriotic work in the school and that even if she has technically broken rules, she had no intention of doing wrong. "It must be remembered that when Mrs.

Potter came to Bayside she was working under a decided handicap," said the Rev. Charles A. Brown, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church. "There were many persons who said that the head of the Bayside schools should be a man and that it was no work for a woman. I believe that Mrs.

Potter has acted conscientiously in the performance of her duties, and realize that it is hard to please every. body." QUEENS MARRIAGE LICENSES. Harvey C. Hardegree, 26, of Kingston av, Bayside; Carolyn Malcolm, 24, of Kingston av Bayside. Harry Goldman, 25.

January 2---Jude Nathan D. Petty of Riverhead died suddenly at his home in this willage; Monday night. It was in the close ing hours of 1917 that he locked hh desk in an office where he has prac4 ticed law for a generation and walked in the biting cold to his home in the northern part of the village. He said on entering his residence that he was so completely exhausted that he could not remove his overcoat He come plained of a tense feeling in the fored head. His son, Dr.

Raiman Petty, and Dr. Albert E. Payne were 8001 with him, but nothing could be done to save his life. It is understood that a blood vessel in the brain was rup4 tured. Assemblyman, District Attorney and Surrogate for twelve years were some of the offices that he held in his long and busy career.

He would have been $1,500. Herbert Duryea was appointed Superintendent of Highways at a yearly salary of $1,200. J. Henry Savage was appointed i' Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety at a yearly salary of $1,500. John J.

Newcombe of Flushing to distribute free of cost, among the deserving poor of Flushing, about twelve tons of coal, which he had in the cellar of his home.

January 2---Zero weather was responsible for a postponement of the laying of the cornerstone of the Babylon Town Hall on Monday. The last day of the old year was selected for the ceremony because time was pressing on account of the date on the stone. Architect Lewis Inglee decided in the morning, however, that the temperature was too low for the use of cement. The copper box had been filled for the event with documents, recent copies of the four Babylon town newspapers and a copy of The Eagle of last Friday, which contained an article telling of the scheduled ceremony. The new date for the laying of the stone will be contingent on good weather.

In 1861 he entered Princeton, graduating with honors in 1865.

Then he studied law in the Albany Law School, being graduated with a degree in 1866. While still a student at Princeton he took the political stump in New York and New Jersey advocating the election of Abraham Lincoln. He started to practice law in Good, Ground, but realizing that he needed' a wider field he opened an office at! Riverhead, where he had since remained. In 1869 he was appointed by President Grant as assistant assessor of internal revenue, continuing until the abolition of the office in 1873. During the latter year he was elected member of Assembly for Suffolk County, being re-elected in 1874 on the Republican ticket, although that year the county was strongly Democratic.

In 1878 and again in 1881 he was elected District Attorney, serving two full terms. For two terms, twelve years, he was Surrogate of the county, being first elected in 1891. Lawyers relate that he made an enviable reputation as Surrogate. being never ultimately reversed by higher courts during the entire twelve years. For twelve consecutive years he also acted as chairman of the Republican County Committee.

Retiring from the Surrogate's Court he at once stepped into his old office and again actively practiced law up to within a few moments before his death. In legal as well as in social circles he was often affectionately referred to as Riverhead's grand old man, It is a singular coincidence that three Surrogates in succession in this county have died suddenly. Judge James H. Tuthill was stricken in the Surrogate's Court: Nathan D. Petty.

who succeeded Judge Tuthill, died suddenly: Joseph M. Belford. who succeeded Judge Petty, died in the Grand Central Depot a few months ago. Judge Petty is survived by his widow and three sons, Charles Petty of Brooklyn, Nathan O. and Dr.

Oyster Bay, January 2-There is considerable speculation here as to what will happen tomorrow when the Town Board meets. For the last year the Board has been overwhelmingly Democratic, but the coming of Justice W. Irving Harrold of Glen Cove, a Republican, who replaces Justice Herbert Weiden of Farmingdale, a Democrat, has changed things about.

Justice Robert Duvall of Oyster Bay, Town Clerk Charles Weeks and Justice Joseph Steinert have always voted together, although Duvall was A Progressive. Justice Edward J. Deasey of Glen Cove, up to several weeks ago, voted with the Democrats, he being one, but recently sided with Supervisor Seaman, the only Republican member. It is believed that Weeks, Duvall and Steinert will stand together and that they will oppose Seaman and. Harrold.

Just what Justice Deasey will do remains to be seen, but it is said that he will cast his vote 011 important matters with Seaman and' Harrold. Tomorrow undoubtedly will show the standing, for the Oyster Bay Good, Government Club will be present in a body and insist that the Board re-, scind the appointment of four peace. officers. The Good Government Club: holds that the officers are unneces-, sary and that the Board should not' impose the additional expenses on the town. The club has the support of Supervisor and Justice Harrold, members say.

They hope also to have Justice Deasey's vote. IC the other members oppose the plan to rescind, the Board will be tied,.
