Notice of funeral later. GARVIN'S ELEVATION TO U.S. COURT BODY BLOW TO McCOOEY Kings Leader Ignored by ministration in Picking Veeder's Successor. "NOT DISPLEASED," McCOOEY The nomination of Special Sessions Justice Edwin L. Garvin of Brooklyn by the President yesterday to succeed Judge Veeder 011 the United States Court bench in this district, the announcement made in The Eagle of February 3 last.

The appointment is regarded as A blow for the Democratic organization here, which Arst backed Magistrate Howard P. Nash, an organization man, for the place and later. when Nash was turned down and the prospect of their landing it grew fainter, even got behind United States Attorney Melville J. France, who had entered the race as an independent Democrat. However, Democratic County Leader John H.

McCooey showed a disposition Edwin L. Garvin. today to accept the situation with as good grace as possible. "I have known Judge Garvin for many years," said Mr. McCooey, "and have no doubt he will make a very good judge.

The appointment is not displeasing to the organization." Garvin Strong Outside of Party. Judge Garvin's strength was derived chiefly from important backing he received outside of party lines, although many prominent were behind him. As secretary of the District Draft Boara he won the esteem of Chairman Charles E. Hughes and other prominent members of that body, who backed him for appointment. He is also understood to have had the support of such Republicans United States Senator William M.

Calder, former Attorney General George W. Wickersham. ex-Judge Veeder and Judge Frederick E. Crane of the Court of Appeals, who is his brother-in-law. His activity as head of the Brooklyn College Men's League for Wilson in 1912 was also a point in his favor.

The fact that Judge Garvin is A Democrat and has been a member of the organization clubs for years is a big factor in enabling the Democratic leaders here to accept the nomination with grace. From the standpoint of party regularity his record cannot be impeached, but it is rather interesting that his political preferment. so far has come from without party lines. His appointment to the Special Sessions Bench two and a half years ago came from the hand of Mayor Mitchel. Shortly before that he had been one of the men put forward by the Democratic organization for United.

States Attorney in this district, the place which ultimately went to Mr. France. New Judge Was Born in Brooklyn. Judge Garvin is 40 vears old and lives at 149 Halsey street. He was born in Brooklyn and educated at Erasmus Hall High School, from which he graduated in 1893.

He graduated from New York University Law School in 1899, when he began' the practice of law as a member of the firm of Garvin and Young. He gained wide praise for the part he played in the rehabilitation of the University Club of Brooklyn in 1911. Under his administration as president. the University Club was brought from. a weak to a flourishing condition.

Judge Garvin married Ida Elizabeth Crane, a sister of Judge Frederick E. Crane of the Court of Appeals. They have two children, Mary Elizabeth and Caroline Garvin, who are students at Froebel Academy. In addition to being a member of the University Club, Judge Garvin belongs to the Hamilton Club, the Lawvers Club of Manhattan, the Transportation Club of New York, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, the Loyal Legion and the Dutch Reformed Church of the Heights. As the nominee has the goodwill of the two United States Senators from this State, both Republicans, no opposition 10 his confirmation is expected.

Although not the candidate of the Brooklyn Democratic organization there was a disposition in Democratic quarters today to take the lection philosophically and derive whatever consolation there was to be had from the fact that Mr. Garvin's elevation to the Federal Court will leave a vacancy on the Special Sessions Bench which organization hopes to fill. Boom Redmond for Special Sessions. in as his possible successor Several, candidates have appeared on the Special Sessions Bench, the most prominent being James W. Redmond of the Tenth Assombly District.

Mr. Redmond is a well -known lawyer and was the choice of his party for Municipal Court Justice two years ago. Solovei May Become a Magistrate, It is considered possible that Mayor Hylan may elevate one of the Brooklyn magistrates to the place. creating the vacancy on the lower bench. in which case Magistrate Nash would logically receive the support of the organization were it not for the fact that the latter is not supposed to stand IN MEMORIAM O'NEILL--In loving memory of REGINA McGINLEY O'NEILL.

PROMPT DELIVERIES. Gilchrist Comes to Aid Of Tattooed Ladies State Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist of Brooklyn has come out as knighterrant of a distressed tattooed lady. This lady has a full-rigged ship sailing across the ocean of her back. Senator Gilchrist promised her that he would introduce a bill making it illegal for anyone to tattoo a lady and make a violation of it punishable by a $500-and the bill has gone through.

This marine view was tattooed on the lady's back when she was 10 years of age. He has taken her word for it that there are sails, waves and everything. It is in latitude ten degrees forty seconds and the longitude line runs right through Greenwich. The ship has been becalmed all these years but it has not succumbed to any of the causes that generally send ships to the junk heap in course of time and it is just as brave a clipper, under a fine spread of sail, today as it was when the lady was a little zirl. It was when the gallant Brooklyn Senator concluded his labors at Albany a week ago and arrived in Brooklyn that he was met by a blushing member of one of the ladies auxiliaries who doubtless knew that when in high favor at the City Hall for personal reasons.

The elevation of a magistrate to the Special Sessions would give Mayor Hylan a chance to appoint his friend Joseph A. Solovei to the magistrates' bench. The Mayor is said to be anxious to reward Solovei for the support which the latter gave him during the campaign. He tried to have him appointed a Deputy Police Commissioner under Bugher, but the balked. James A.

Blanchfield, president of the Kings Highway Democratic Club of the Second A. and Michael Ditore, secretary of the Kane organization in the Third. were other names heard today. Ditore may get the place if the Mayor decides to name an Italian-American. REMOVAL ILLEGAL, CRAGG TELLS COURT Justice Scudder Hears Motion to Nullify Riegelmann's Act.

Samuel H. Cragg, who was removed by Borough President Riegelmann from the chairmanship Local Schocl Board No. 32, today applied to Justice Scudder in the Supreme Court for an injunction which would make the removal proceedings ineffective. Cragg contended that his removal was entirely illegal because no were made against him, he war not granted a hearing and the Borough President acted after listening informally to several persons who had a grievance against him. In his petition Cragg declared that Borough President Coler appointed him first, that Borough President Steers and Borough President Pounds both reappointed him and that his term does not expire until the end of 1921.

A representative of the Corporation Counsel's office expressed the opinion that the Borough President had the power to summarily remove Cragg in the way he did, but he submitted no papers and formally there was no opposition to Cragg's motion. Justice Scudder said he would examine the Charter to determine the Borough President's power in the matter. Cragg's removal from the School Board followed his removal by Governor Whitman from the Local Draft Board after A loud protest against joke told by Cragg about exemption claims filed by Jews. FRED BURNS REARRESTED Fred Bruns, 16, whose father keeps a hotel at Surf avenue and West Twenty -eighth street. Coney Island, was arrested today and arraigned before Magistrate Geismar in the Coney Island ourt, charged with burglary in the third degree and petty larceny.

He was held for a hearing. Louis Goldberg, a grocer, at 27 Surf avenue, noticed early today that a window pane of his store was missing. He found that someone had entered the store and stole $5. Later Bruns was brought into the 169th Preinct station. charged with disorderly conduct.

Detective Henry Weyman questioned the boy and he confessed that, being hungry, he had entered the store and taken the money. In his pockets was found $3.50. On January 12. the police say, Bruns was arrested in Manhattan, charged with robbing a store, and was brought before Justice Wadhams in General Sessions. He was held for trial without bail for March 4.

When the case came up the judge sent him to Letchworth Village for observation. Shortly after he escaped and had been sought ever since. McCORMACK PAYS BIG TAX John McCormack. the noted Irish tenor, leads all the great singers, even Caruso, in the amount of income tax he has paid. said that he has paid a larger income tax than any two singers in the country put 10- gether.

Caruso paid the Government $59,000 several days ago, and when it was asked if McCormack had paid as much, his manager, P. F. McSweeny, said: "A man could live mighty well for two years on the difference between what they paid." McCormack paid his tax just before starting on a campaign to get $100,000 a for the Red Cross. ACCUSES DRAFT OFFICIAL Antonio Tanzola of 162 Ninth street. who recently wrote to Draft Director Conboy complaining against the acDraft in sending Mr.

of Chairman, Bushey of Local Tanzola's son to Camp Upton and not his own son, has written Mr. Conboy again. He says that Mr. Bushey's son, who entered the transportation service December 14, "was supposed to report to Camp Upton on December 1." that he failed to show up, and another man was sent in his place. He asks that Mr.

Conboy examine Chairman Bushey "as to his fitness to continue as chairman of this local board." and remove him. CAUSE IS OURS." No Jealousy Over "Hero Re. ceipts, Says Moffat. American organizations need not feel sighted because organizations working among the Allies took in more money at the recent "Hero Land" spectacle and bazar. is the statement made yesterday by John Moffat, who was chairman of the committee which managed the big affair.

If more money went to the Allies, their need is greater, according to Moffat. He said: "There is no real distress in America as a result of the war thus far. But U. S. soldiers are fighting, the allied cause is ours.

and anything done for our allies is something done for ourselves." 3,000 MEN NEEDED BY 27TH DIVISION Recruiting Campaign in New York to Aid Wadsworth Regiments. 2.000 MECHANICS TRANSFEERD Two Additional Bands and 63 NonCommissioned Officers Reach Spartanburg.

Melville J. France, United States Attorney for this district, said to. day: do not regard Brooklyn as coming under this edict. It is true that men are quartered in City Park, but do not construe that to be a training station under the purview of the Secretary of the Navy's order.

It is, in my opinion, a barracks to house the overflow from the Navy Yard. It may be that these men are in training. but that is the condition throughout the Navy. The men are training Secretary Daniels specifically mentioned in his order that a dry zone should be created within five miles of the Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, 111. Other places mentioned are the Naval Academy at Annapolis, training station at Norfolk, Hampton Roads.

Federal Attorney France this afternoon telegraphed to Washington for warrants of interment for Christian Busch of 4302 Third avenue and Alfred Etzler of 723 Starr street, both Germans. They were taken into custody by Marshal Power a fortnight ago and interned on Ellis Island.

They had been found working on the waterfront. Last Tuesday they were notified they would be released if they were willing to go to Blandberg, where work had been found for them by Federal Attorney France, who figured it would be wiser to place them in jobs where they could do no harm than to board them in the expensive internment camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. They consented. They were released yesterday and were given 62 cents each, the mileage necssary to allow thm to return home, get their clothes and go to the Grand Central Depot to take train, tickets for which would be awaiting them at the depot. But it was long since either had tasted beer and they decided to drink with the money and sacrifice the shoe leather.

But they got more beer than they thought they could. Neither appeared on schedule time at the depot. This was communicated yesterday afternoon to Prosecutor France, who sent out the alarm through police channels. It is noteworthy that the system now employed between the Federal District Attorney's office and the police took just 28 minutes to catch Etzler. The alarm was read when the platoons left their precincts at 4 p.m.

At just 4:28, Etzler was found, drunk and asleep, in a Glendale, L. saloon. Busch was picked in South Brooklyn today. He also was drunk. MAJOR MITCHEL FLIES San Diego, March 7---Former Mayor Mitchel of New York, now Major Mitchel, is progressing in his aviation instruction.

43 years old, one of the best-known restaurant proprietors in the uptown section, a and senior member of the Boemermann Brothers, owners of the Ormonde restaurant, at Fulton street and Nostrand avenue, died suddenly last night from heart disease, at his residence, 327 East Nineteenth street, Flatbush. Mr. Boemermann had been under treatment for heart trouble for some time, and last evening, feeling indisposed, laid down on a couch to rest. He soon fell asleep, and later his family discovered that he had died in his sleep. His funeral services will be held tomorrow evening, the Rev.

Dr. Luther D. Gable, pastor of St. Stephen's English Lutheran Church, officiating, and the interment, on Saturday, will be in Greenwood Cemetery. Mr.

Boemermann was born in the Bedford section of Brooklyn, the son of Anna Huessner and the late George Boemermann. He was educated in the public schools, and twenty-two years ago entered the restaurant business with his father. He became the head of the business at the death of his father, eight years ago, and was later joined by his two brothers, Albert and William Boemermann, the three brothers conducting the business jointly ever since. Mr. Boemmermann was an old member of Brooklyn Lodge No.

22, B. P. O. Elks. He was at one time a well known football player with the Boys High School team.

Posing as a laborer without a collar or tie and carrying a small lunch basket under his arm, Detective Knowles of the Seventh Branch was hanging to a strap in a jammed bridge local car crossing the Williamsburg Bridge last night on the lookout for pickpockets when he suddenly felt the familiar' tugging of the lightfingered gentry at his hip pocket, where Knowles had a purse with marked money in it. He waited until the hand was well inside the pocket when he seized it and just then another hand seized Knowles' and tried desperately to release the first hand.

Knowles seized both strangers and the pair began to offer stiff resistance. The fight continued until the plaza was reached when Knowles, it is alleged. was offered $100 apiece by his prisoners to turn them loose.
