Nor In on the a to IN FIRE FOLLOWING STRIKE IN MACARONI PLANT Brophy Probes $500,000 Blaze. Fails to Find Cause Strikebreakers Slept There. M70 Marshal Brophy and Capt. Herbert Graham, conducted an inquiry last night into the origin of the Are at the Macaroni pany's factory Vernon Atlantic, Long Island City, which yesterday destroyed all of the plant excepting the mill and grain elevators, and also damaged the plant of the American Balsa iC Company, manufacturers a of lifeboats at 305 Vernon causing a damage of over $500,000 at the macaroni plant and $10,000 at the American Balsa plant. The mysterious manner in which the fire started, the rapidity with which it spread and the reign of terror that the managers of the plant and the employees have been experiencing for the past, month convinced the fire marshal that a complete investigation should be made.

The most significant statement concerning conditions was made by Dominic Calandra, of Rockaway Park, vice president and chief executive of the plant. He arrived at the fire after noon, yesterday, and said: do not see how the fire could have started where it did. The building was entirely fireproof except for soine wooden partitions. -The floors were of concrete and the walls of brick. There was nothing stored there but macaroni in boxes and that not subject to spontaneous combustion.

have been having serious labor troubles at the plant. On Oct. 2 we voluntarily gave our people a 20 per cent raise in wages upon the condition that they would not join union. That gave them an We have no regular of the "hoents hours, employee being permitted to work as long or as short as the person cared 10. We have both men and women employed and we have about 180 at work when we are running full force.

"After the raise in wages our people continued to work peacably for about two weeks. Then one morning about 100 men came here in trucks, motorcars and wagons and took all our men away to Brooklyn, where they were compelled to join a union by threats or otherwise. They did not return to us. But they have picketed our statements tea, because editor told on done other damage. When we attempted to send out our first load of goods after the strike, a policeman had to get on the truck with a drawn revolver to get it through the lines of the strikers.

"We sent a statement of conditions to an a Italian paper. We were informed just the other day that the paper would not print any more of our statements because the editor old us that the had been waited upon by representatives the union, who said that if more of our statements were printed there would be trouble." Fire Marshal Brophy called into the investigation Paul Cuneo, the superintendent of the plant, who at work there when the fire started; Salvatore Dellafava, a workingman who was at the plant, and the two night watchmen, Galletti and Stalder, who left the plant at 7 o'clock Sunday morning when they declared everything was all right. Fire Marshal Brophy, following his investigation, made this statement: "We have found that the company was providing sleeping quarters for strike breakers on the second floor of the building where the fire started. On Saturday evening one of these strikebreakers, Salvatore Dellafava, left. the plant about 9 o'clock.

He did not return until about. midnight. According to his own statement, he was drunk. He was unable to go up the stairs where he had his sleeping quarters, and the night watchman allowed him to go into the storeroom on the first floor and to make a bed out of his coat and vest. He was routed out about do o'clock by the day watchman, Angelo Mogia, who! told him to get up as the boss was coming.

He was seen to come out without his hat or coat or vest. About a half an hour after he came out fire was discovered in the vicinity of where he had been sleeping. What, if anything, he did to a fire we were unable to find out. He says he did nothing. So the exact origin of the fire remains a mystery." 8:30 o'clock when the fire started in the big two-story brick unit frorting Vernon ave.

which was used as executive offices and aS 2 storeroom for finished products. It started in a room that was used for the storage of hand trucks. It was first noticed by John McKenna. He sounded. an alarm by blowing the whistle of the factory.

Superintendent Cunoe ran out of the plant and notified Patrolman Thomas Stapleton. who was 0116 of the police guards at the that there was a fire and the policeman ran into the storeroom where the fire was and turned in the alarm. Battalion Chief Albert Reed upon arriving ut the fire turned in a second alarm and this brought Deputy Chief John O'Hara who sent in a boro alarm, Nearly 400 firemen from Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queens were at work when the fire was at its height. There were four fireboats and two tugs of the Lackawana Railroad that fought the fire from the East River front.

Just after three companies of firemen had run their lines into the alleyway between the plant of the macaroni company and the American Balsa Common there was an explosion in the storehouse where the fire started. and more than 20 firemen were imperilled. All escaped except Firemen J. Gallagher and G. Fitzsimmons of Engine 238, Norman Brooklyn.

Both were badly cut and bruised. They were attended by Dr. Walter G. Prey, Fire Department physician, and they were permitted to 50 to their firehouse. The fire destroyed the big unit where it started, and spread to the adjoining 3-story brick unit used as the general manufacturing plant.

This plant was filled with costly machinery, practicaly all of which is imported. The loss on the first building was about and $50,000 on contents, and the second building and contents about $350,000. The big mill. 5 stories height, and the elevators 81 the river front were saved by the efforts of the fireboats and the tugs. In the elevators were 20,000 bushels of wheat that bad only recently been received.

This was valued at $50,000. The entire loss was insured. Brooklyn Red Cross on Scene. The peace-time program of the Brooklyn Chapter of the American Iter Cross was partly put into effect yesterday at. tho big fire.

NEW YORK MONDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1919. FLUSHING CHURCHES SUCCESSFULLY PUSH I DRIVE FOR MEMBERS Forward Movement Now Receiving Unprecedented Response Methodist tions Grow. Much interest is centered in the respective drives for attendance of the Reformed Church Bowne ave. and Amity and 'the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Amity st.

near Main Flushing. The Rev. Thomas Hanna Mackenzie of the Reformed Church, estimated fair aggregate of the total 2,500 as a during a month, so he set attendance his goal at an aggregate attendance Dr. Mackenzie is meeting of 5,000. with wonderful success, being 20 perahead of schedule in the first cent week of his campaign.

The fine results thus far due mainly to two untiring efforts of the factors--the committee of 112 that has unselfishly gone into this work with an unprecedented vim that speaks well for the future. "Such generous and cordial response to any suggestion of known forward movement has never been fore," said Dr. Mackenzie. Although the church did splendidly during the war, now it seems to be outdoing itself. Forty ladies during October visited entire congregation.

The last Sunday in October, 40 men started motorcars and visited entire congregation. The aim of the drive in Dr. Mackenzie's words is "to make it a lasting affair." Those who have attended the services on five consecutive Sundays are liable to make it a habit, and in that way it is hoped that permanent attendance will be materially increased. Next Sunday will be "Motorcar Sunday," on which all nonchurch members are invited, and all members of the congregation are requested to invite their neighbors and friends. Methodists Also Seek Members.

Dr. W. W. W. W.

Wilson of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, cates the same principles of' fellowco-operation. Dr. Wilson says: "We have organized the local church councils and they are organwill hold meetings and keep in touch izing 20 units, placing over a them competent leaders and assistants, who with the families of their respective units, circulating literature, holding cottage prayer meetings and getting into touch with every unsaved person, inviting them to the church services and doing all they can for them there, and in their homes and places of business, to save them. The minute-men are speaking five minutes at every service and they have taken special interest in building up prayer meetings. The church will observe a week of prayer as planned by the Centenary Committee and follow that up with evangelistic services throughout the month of January.

Subsemeetings will be held until Easter. membership has grown from 414 to year and a half, making the quota to be saved 137. The men in charge are taking great interest in this campaign, as they did last year, having gone over the top in their offering. They were asked for $3,467 and raised $3,522.20, and have recently gone over the top in Christion Advocate subscriptions, the quota being one for every 10 members, seeking 54 and getting 58 subscriptions. They have 44 tithers and expect to complete the number, which will be over 100 before the campaign is ended.

The church is thoroughly alive to all these interests and the members are greatly encouraged in their work and expect to succeed in all their undertakings. Decision day will be observed in the Sunday school early in January. BIG REALTY DEALS ON L. I. CITY PLAZA McHugh Sons Company of Manhattan Lease Jackson Ave.

Building- Large Lot Sold. Two important real estate deals have just been consummated in connection with property in the vicinity of the Queensboro Bridge Plaza in Long Island City, both of which will increase the industrial importance of that locality. The George W. Payntar Company has completed a lease for a term of fifteen years of then building fronting on Jackson ave. which was formerly occupied by the New York and Queens Electric Light and Power Company to the Joseph P.

McHugh and Sons' Company, manufacturers of willow furniture, of 9 W. 42d Manhattan. The company will establish its factory at this point and will employ several hundred workmen. Elmer Payntar has sold to the L. and D.

Company, Manhattan investors, a plot 50x80 fronting on Academy st. and immediately in the rear of the Long Island City Savings Bank Building, on which will be erected a fivestory office building to cost about $500,000. The ground floor will be for stores and the upper floors will be arranged for office suites. This building, when erected, will great need that is felt in this quarter. The taking over of the Queens Court by the New York and Queens Electric Light and Power Company dispossessed nearly a score of attorneys and other business people who had offices in the building and they were compelled to scatter to the most inconvenient locations about Long Island City.

Some of them were put to the necessity of locating in vacant store rooms. Most of these firms will return as soon they can find accommodations there and others will locate there if they can find accommodations. VAMPS ISSUE CHALLENGE (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. Nov. 10--The Exempt Firemen's Association of Patchogue has sent a challenge to the Southampton department to pit its Agawan hand pump engine against Old Honey Bee of Patchogue in a contest to decide the supremacy of the two.

It is proposed to hold the contest at Westhampton on Thanksgiving Day, and the Patchogue vamps stipulate that each group of firemen place a side bet of $500 on the issue. The Honey Bee and the Agawan met in a contest which was a feature of the "Ship by Truck" parade in Brooklyn on Oct. 13, and the former was beaten. However, the Patchogue firemen contend that they were handicapped in this contest by the bursting of a hose which they had to replace hurriedly after they had spent their best efforts on the engine.

Sullivan, editor of the Jamaica Farmer, appeared today with his attorney, Thomas a Gresser, before the Qreens County Grand Jury and presented affidavits. In one he asked the Grand Jury to refuse to hear the in the case of Assistant Distestimony trict Attorney Hazelton, and have it referred to a magistrate.

Hazleton charges that in the election just passed, in which he was candidate for Municipal Court Justice, Sullivan tried to induce him to promise that if he was elected he would appoint to clerkship his (Sullivan's) father-inlaw. In return, it is alleged, Sullivan was to boost the cause of Hazleton through his paper, the Farmer. In the second affidavit Sullivan asks to be permitted to go before the Grand Jury to make up the case. District Attorney O'Leary found that Sullivan had not filed copies of his affidavit, but at the County Clerk's suggestion, Sullivan said that he would immediately file it with County Clerk Cox. O'Leary told Sullivan that he need not appear before the Grand Jury today, even if the matter was taken up.

JAMAICA HOSPITAL REPORTS BALANCE AT END OF THE YEAR Receipts $59,161, Expenditures Start New Building Soon, Mrs. Robert W. Higbie has been reelected president of the board or trustees of the Jamaica Hospital. The other officers are: Mrs. Frank Denton, vice president; Mrs.

Edward Carman, recording secretary; Mrs. N. P. Bevin, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Granville Yeaton, treasurer.

Satisfactory reports were made by the treasurer and the superintendent, Miss Rosa Safer. While the recent combined compaign of the Jamaica and St. Mary's Hospitals did not result as satisfactorily as had been anticipated, a sufficient amount was raised to make feasible the plan for starting the Jamaica Hospital project. A new site has been purchased and it is expected that work upon the building will begin before long. The Jamaica Hospital League and the auxiliaries are commended for their continued loyalty and support.

The Liberty Auxiliary at Morris Park, with a membership of more than 100, was formed during the year, while the Council of Jewish Women of Jamaica has requested permission to become a working auxiliary for the institution. Special mention is made in the report of the work of the Men's Hospital Association, through the efforts of which it has been possible to install up-to-date equipment in the way of sterilizers, laundry apparatus, a filing cabinet for the training school, and new heaters in the houses belonging to the hospital. Mention is made in the report of the death of Stephen H. Voris who did much for the institution. The yearly report shows that though nearly every hospital in the city has a deficit, the Jamaica institution has succeeded in meeting all its obligations.

During the year 1,568 patients received 16.438 days of treatment. In all 773 operations were performed. The daily cost per patient was $3.18. In the X-ray department 456 patients were received and 985 plates were made. The Orthopedic clinic, averaged 156 children a month.

The of treatments given during the year was 4.902 in the clinic and 600 at home. With the aid of the city ambulances and the Women's Motor Corps, 1,644 children were transported to and from the clinic. Additions and improvements made during the year include the fitting up of larger accommodations for the X-Ray a linen room with ample closet space for hospital linen; a new mangle. one large kitchen gas range, and utensil sterilizer, and one large dressing sterilizer for operating room. The mortgage of $1,000 on the Evergreen ave.

house was cancelled. The building has been renovated threughout. The receipts for the year totaled $59.161.79, and the expenditures, 297.23. Despite many economies instituted and all efforts made to limit expenditures to the lowest point consistent with the maintenance of the efficiency of the institution the current expenses increased $6,332.72 over the previous year. The charity work in the wards, for which the hospital received no re muneration at all, amounted to 846.60.

That does not include the emergency nor the X-Ray, of which the greater proportion of the work is charity. The management has been handicapped by the inadequacy of the building. Many patients had to be turned away during the year because of the lack space. The Training School report shows that six nurses were graduated and left the hospital, nine were admitted and eight accepted. Six of the graduates served with the Red Cross, two overseas.

At present the hospital has seven graduates and seventeen students. A reference library has been added to the Training School. LITTLE GIRL ATTACKED Evelyn Merritt, 9 years old, of 886 Snediker Union Course, on her way home from church yesterday, was accosted by EL strange man who dragged her into a vacant lot.

Although Carpenter served honorably in the Civil War, he never affiliated himself with any veteran organization. The body was taken to Poughkeepsie, the place of his birth, for interment this morning.

$10,000 HAY FIRE AT ADIKES'S STORE Hay valued al $10,000 was destroyed by a fire which broke out Saturday night in the storage sheds, about 150 long by 30 feet wide, owned by T. Adikes at Tyndal feet, between Fulton st. and Archer place, Jamaica.

The flames also were prevented from spreading to the mill and offices of the wholesale concern, as well as to eral freight cars on adjoining sidings.

The fire was not entirely extinguished until carly, today, I I I IT'S GOODBYE DUCK WHEN AIRMAN GOES A- HUNTING IN PLANE They Used to Coax the Birds to Ruin but Now They OutFly Them, (Special to The Eagle.) Long Beach, L. Nov. 10-Scientists claim that the instincts of birds and animals are the reflex thoughts of inherited memories passed down through successive generations from the dim, dark past, when self-preservation and getting something to eat were the two great natural laws. Granting that such is the case, the wild ducks that make their winter home on the channels, creeks and lagoons of Hempstead Bay, on the bay side of Long Beach, after migrating from the frozen, barren stretches of the sub-arctic regions around Hudson Bay, probably had awakened in them memories of the dim, dark past, when giant flying creatures took wing and cleared the sky of all its inhabitants, because of its lightning-like speed and its fearful fighting qualities. Ducks are not strong on reminiscences; that is, they do not indulge in them a pastime.

They prefer to their time indulging in live shore dinners, swimming in wave-flavored maritime gravy; so it requires an incident of more than passing interest to awake the primal instincts in these easy swimming, fast flying, fine flavored birds. The primal instincts were awakened in the ducks that rendezvous in Reynolds Channel by Fred J. Kolb and Edward J. Farrell, former Army officers, recently. This was not due to the fact that Lt.

Kolb, was connected with the U. S. Aviation Section, and Publisher Edward J. Farrell resembled in way the caveman of the period when the inherited memories of the ducks were real existent matters of everyday experience for their far-distant ancestors. From the duck's point of view, this return of the primal instincts was due to the return of what must have seemed to them the re-incarnation of some monster of days primeval; some monster that snorted with a voice that rocked the earth, that flew with the speed of lightning's flash, that swooped, careened and banked on the motionless wings of a gull and spit forth a hail of deadly pellets that dropped fleeting ducks in their tracks, or rather in their wing beats.

In plain, -fact language, Kolb and Farrell went out hunting ducks in the ducks' own element--in the ambient vault, in the air, in the sky. They were, perhaps, the first hunters to leave the greensward, or the tangled wildwood, to mount the clouds in the pursuit of game. At any rate, they are certainly the first aerial nimrods in this section of the country, and their distinction is unique. From an airplane Kolb and Farrel hunted ducks with considerable success, and in addition found the sport more enjoyable, not to mention more exhilarating, than that same sport from a float among the shore grass. Raising a flock of ducks and winging one before the flock gets out of gun shot is quite an achievement; to bring down a flock with decoys and get a bird or two is likewise considered a fair achievement; but these cannot hold a candle to the sport of sighting a flock and then giving chase a plane, the speed of the plane often enabling the hunters to overtake the ducks, while the flying tricks of the ducks that enable them to get out of range keep the airman on edge to duplicate the stunts and permit the bird to be brought down.

Wild ducks are quite plentiful this year over Reynolds Channel and at the west end of Long Beach, insuring excellent sport and good bags of game for those who can prove that they are able to raise a gun quickly, aim accurately and pull steadily on the triggers. There are many game laws and regulations on the statute books, but there are none applicable to this new sport of hunting game birds from airplanes. The sport is a thoroughly enjoyable and exhilarating one, and one that should be preserved, according to the experiences of the airmen nimrods; and while airplanes are not so plentiful that the extinction of the wild duck is threatened, yet it is a sport is likely to grow to be a popular one. These pioneer air hunters did not report the exact number of ducks which they brought down, but assurances were given that the number was well within the limit of the legal bag, but enough to permit the flyers to ascertain just how the flavor of this year's ducks compares with the flavor of those of last year.

It has always been that way and we are glad to be able to say that the closest and most careful watch upon contractors is kept by the officers and employees of our own bureaus. "This complaint states that we are laying a pavement upon swamps, but the fact is that no pavement is called for under the contract except a small amount in gutters. "They say that we are filling in across swamps.

We are not. But if we were I do not know of any other way to build a road across a swamp than by filling it in. "They say specifically that the ment is defective across the swamps between the Woodside station and the connecting railroads. Those in this vicinity will be surprised to learn that they are living in swamps, and besides no pavement, not even sidewalks or curbs have been started at this point. "It is not surprising that after the rain we have had there is likely to be, of course, an amount of water accumulating at certain places, especially where the streets have not been shaped, but this condition has in no manner effected the work.

"It is gratifying to be able to say that the contractor upon this work is for ahead of his requirements, as to his diligence in completing the work, and all of our engineers and inspectors report that the work has been performed in a most satisfactory manner. "The specifications are the standard specifications of the boro, and this specification is sudstantially the same as the one used when District Attorney O'Leary was my Commissioner of Public Works. "It merely 'indicates that our political enemies have started their campaign early, and, of course, they knew where to go with their complaints." SOUTHOLD BRIEFS The Rev.

My opponent, Mr. Adel, has made a clean fight of it, as I did. It is unnecessary for me to repeat election pledges, but there are two I specially wish to emphasize.

The first is to residents of the Rockaways. I wish to assure them that immediately after I take my oath of office I shall visit Rockaway once a week or as often as needed for the purpose of holding court there for the trial of Rockaway cases. Arrangements will have to be made with regard to a courtroom and other trial details, which no doubt the Board of Trade and other interested citizens will take up and with whom I shall be happy to confer to the end that Rockaway litigants, lawyers and witnesses may be saved the expense and inconvenience of a visit to Glendale. Such a course I believe will further the interests of justice and expedite the procedure of the court. The second is that by devoting myself to the duties of my new position I realize I shall preside over a 'poor man's It will be my earnest endeavor to prove to the voters that, in the words of my campaign slogan they have elected 'the right man in the right take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to all who worked for me and otherwise assisted to secure my election."

Special services were conducted in practically every Red Cross center, and for the last time in the Third Roll Call the summons to join the greatest American humanitarian fellowship was issued from the pulpits. The response from every quarter was very gratifying to the officers and workers in the campaign, and they are making their final efforts of complete success. "Wear Your Button" Day, on which every member of the Red Cross should wear the button which many of the world's greatest personages have declared to be' the proudest badge ever devised by men, is being held today. The small white buttons with their red cross were visible in large numhers during the day, on men and women of every degree, and the heads of huge businesses displayed them with as much pride as their humblest employece. The psychological effect was also quite pronounced, and many persons who had neglected to renew their memberships of last year did so during the day.

Tomorrow, Armistice Day, will be the closing of the campaign, and at the rame time wil see the most intensive last minute efforts of the workers to exceed their quotas for membership. In this they have the co-operation of the American Legion posts and other veterans organizations. Overseas veterans attached to some of the posts will make addresses at various points, giving their first hand accounts of periences with the Red Cross in France, the work in the great hospitals there, and of their unequaled canteen service everywhere. The need for continuing the way work in times of peace to met the great problems fronting the United States both at home and in the new found relations abroad will also be accented. QUEENS POLITICIANS ALREADY PLANNING FOR 1920 ELECTION Will Demand a Justiceship-Aspirants for Sheriff and District Attorneyship.

Among those interested in political affairs in Queens a discussion has already been started over the possi-o1 bilities regarding the nominations ton be made a year hence for justices of the Supreme Court. There will be five vacancies to be filled at that times and while none of the justices whol will retire come from Queens, cians from this section are deter mined to make a bid for considera-; tion. It is believed that Justice: Scudder from Nassau County and tice Jaycox from Suffolk will be re-. nominated without opposition. If this is done it will take two of the nomithe number of attorneys in that county! nations from Kings County, and do with' seeking the nominations there will be a demand for all three of the paces.

There is general satisfaction over the fact that since the defeat of George J. S. Dowling it will be impossible for the Kings County Democrats to insist that Queens is represented adequatey. County Judge Burt J. Humphrey is.

01 a candidate for one of the nominations and his friends insist that next year he shall have the opportunity to make a race for the position. They will try to have the regular Democratic organization indorse him, but if this is denied him they will endeavor to have 1 the the judge consent to make a run at" polls. With the official ballot printed as it now is, politicians are generally agreed that an indorsement by both arties for a nonpartisan candidate is not of much importance. The men receiving the highest number of votes to the number of the places to be filled are those who are declared elected. In such a situation, Judge Humphrey's friends say that he will surely be a winner.

He is believed to be as strong among Republicans as among Democrats, and he is as wel. liked in other counties in the district as he is in Queens. From this time on the friends of Judge intend to keep his name to Humphrey front in all discussions regarding the Supreme Court justiceships. The matter of a sheriff is also refrom ceiving the attention. Republican Charles McArdle.

ranks has announced his candidacy and Peter P. Campbell, secretary of the Republican organization, is being discussed in connection with the nomination. On the Democratic side, William N. George, who has been a candidate on two occasiong when the courts stands decided there should be no election, high with the organization and there is strong possibility that he will be tion. supported again by the organizaboro However, Joseph Flanagan, secretary, intends to be a candidate.

He is going to ask the organization's support. The nomination for District Attorney is also interesting. There is some talk of Edgar r. Hazelton being candidate for this nomination. He has Court just been elected a Municipal Justice, but he would not have to resign that position to make a canvass for District Attorney and many believe that Mr.

Hazelton's ambitions will not permit him to remain in the retired position of a judge. One of the most likely candidates on nation the Democratic side for this nomiis Frank Adel, who was defeated last week for the position of Municipal Justice. He has won high favor with the Democratic organization for his fighting qualities and his friends are demanding that he be given an opportunity to make the run for District Attorney. District Attorney Denis O'Leary will be a candidate for re-election. He was not elected as a Democrat this last time but he has shown no antion tagonism to the Democratio organizaand it would surprise no one to see him get the endorsement of the organization next year.
