BLIND TOTS ENTERTAIN AT SUNSHINE MEETING Remarkable Exhibition by Little Ones From Dyker Heights Home. VISITORS ARE DEEPLY MOVED. One Girl Gives a Display of Point Reading, and Others Recite and Sing Very Cleverly. The afternoon session of the sixth anClif-nual meeting of the International Sunshine Branch for the Blind that was held yesterday at Plymouth Church was given over almost entirely to the blind children of the Dyker Heights Home. They entertained with songs, recitations and piano selections, showing the remarkable training received at the home.

The Rev. Rivington D. Lord, D.D., pastor of the First Free Baptist Church, this borough, opened the afternoon with devotional exercises. This was followed by a report of the superintendent of the Dyker Heights Home, Mrs. Cynthia M.

Tregear. She intermingled the report with demonstrations of the work of the children. The first was given by Annie Warshauer, a child who has been with the home in Brooklyn for several years. Sae gave a splendid exhibition of the point reading. The story she told was a biblical one that had been read to her so that she could put it into the point language.

She read it with but two or three hesitations, and those in the audience were permitted to see the paper with the story in point. Two of the youngest children who were on the programme to entertain yesterday touched the hearts of everyone present, and as they recited and sang there was scarcely a dry eye in the place. The report of the teacher of music in the home, Mrs. M. A.

Bosworth, was read, and she had the children give demonstrations of the class in technique from the time when they learn on a table that they actually have fingers and can use them separately, to the time when they can play, difficult. selections on the piano without a mistake. Miss O'Day, the kindergarten teacher; gave her report and had the children play the games taught them. The singing class consists of the following children: Annie Bernstein, Josephine Burns, Elmer Cohen. Annie Warshauer, Arthur Hart.

Esther Loebel, Michael Tosca, Isadore Schien, Lily Butler, Rosalie Cohen, Thomas Manzi, William Wigel, Eleanor Foster, Lena Jampolsky, Samuel Phillips, Samuel Diamond, Rose Bernstein, Michael Lacioppa, Emma Kingsland and Rachel Askenas.

Was Not Even Hurt. Perhaps it was his early training on the football gridiron that saved Julius Schmeltzer, a well known broker, who lives at 107 Kenmore place, from a broken neck yesterday afternoon when the skittish horse he was riding threw him over a fence. Mr. Schmeltzer turned a few graceful somersaults and finally landed at the bottom of an excavation. The broker was one of the many horsemen who took advantage of the fine weather yesterday for a canter along the Ocean Parkway Boulevard.

His animal became unmanageable at Avenue 3 and dashed up the boulevard at top speed. Schmeltzer pulied and tugged at the bridle. It only served to make his fiery steed go faster. At Foster and Flatbush avenues a fence attracted the animal's eye and he- apparently decided to get rid of his human burden. He came to a stop so suddenly that Schmeltzer, taken unawares, was thrown over the animal's head as if he had been hurled from a catapult.

Pedestrians who witnessed the incident were sure that he had been killed: but the excavation was not very deep and the soft earth saved the broker from serious injuries. He was brushing the dirt from his clothes when they reached him. Schmeltzer declined medical attendance. In his youthful days the broker was a quarterback 011 the Poly football team.

To us in the Hamilton Club, of which he was a controlling spirit from the time of its foundation, his death comes as a great personal bereavement." The resolution has been entered on the permanent records of the club and a copy sent, with' assurances of heartfelt sympathy McKeen's from family.

TO REORGANIZE STAFF Eleven Doctors of Brooklyn Central Dispensary Have Resigned. This Leads Board of Directors to Plan for New Medical Attendants at Once. It was learned yesterday that entire medical staff the Brooklyn Central Dispensary, at Third and Atlantic avenues, is about to be reorganized. Eleven of the staff have resigned. Their resignations take effect, it is said, at 6 o'clock next Tuesday evening.

Those physicians who were seen yesterday were rather loath to talk about the causes leading up to their resignations, but some of them declared that there was a lack of system at the Central Dispensary and that things had become demoralized there. One of the physicians said that he and the other doctors had received a notice to attend a meeting last Thursday at which, they were informed, special business was to be transacted, and when they got there their resignationg were asked for. Other complaints are that there has been a'n unequal distribution of cases, a lack kof attendance on the part of members of the medical staff, and that while there were a large number of cases on some days, others there would be hardly any. One member of the staff said that a certain director asked the physicians to take the action they did, but the directors who would talk declared that the physicians resigned of their own volition. The doctors met in the dispensary last Thursday, where a general form of resignation was drawn up by Dr.

S. F. Anderson, the secretary. This was forwarded to the board of directors after it had been signed by each of those present. According to one report, the resignations were the outcome of a long factional fight "and the jealousy and greed of a certain clique that wanted to run things as it saw fit." Julian D.

Fairchild, president of the board of directors, said that the resignations of the physicians were not asked for by the board. He added that as long as the doctors saw fit to quit a new staff would be organized immediately and the work carried on as before. The dispensary directors will hold A meeting Tuesday night a few hours after the resignations of the doctors have taken effect, and it 18 expected that arrangements for the formation of a new staff will then be made. JOSEPHINE A. RIGNEY DEAD.

Josephine wife of John F. Rigney, assistant superintendent of the Ward Steamship Line, died after an illness of a few wecks at her home, 201 Caton avenue, yesterday morning.

Most of her life was spent in the vicinity of Ocean parkWay and Fort Hamilton avenue, and she wAS well known in the parkway section.

She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. George Hanscom Gray, wife of the junior partner of Howard C. Pyle of Montague street, and Mra. Robert G. Clarke, whose husband is a special agent of the New York Central Railroad, of Woodruff avenue, Flatbush.

Fitzgerald to Deliver Inaugural Address. TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CONVENT New Building Is Needed, as More Accommodations for Children in School Are Required. Everything is in readiness for the opening of the fair which will be held by the members of St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church, in Loughlin Lyceum, Herbert and North Henry streets. The fair will be declared open by Representative John J.

Fitzgerald, with the usual ceremony, tomorrow night, and will continue two fort weeks. The Right Rev. Mgr. Edward J. McGoldrick, the rector, will also be heard on this occasion.

The affair promises to be one of the most brilliant in the history of the parish, and it is expected that a considerable sum will be realized. This will be devoted to -the fund now being raised for the erection of convent. Up to the present, the sisters who at teach in the parochial school have resided on the upper floors of that structure. The large increase in the attendance has forced Mgr. McGoldrick to press into service every available inch of space.

The register now shows a daily attendance of 2,400 children. The new edifice, in which the sisters will reside, will be a four -story brick structure, with appropriate stone trimmings, and will replace the frame building on Monitor street; which is situated between the one occupied by the brothers and the church building. It will cost about $18,000. There is in the building fund at present about $4,000. It is.

hoped that the proceeds of this fair will be in the neighborhood of $10,000, and this will give the parish a fair start in the undertaking. The new structure will add greatly to the real estate holdings of the parish, as well as to its convenience. The property to which it holds title covers nearly the entire block, and is estimated to be worth $600,000. The only incumbrance against it is a mortgage of on the school building. The membership of the congregation is said to number about 12,000.

The large hall of Loughlin- Lyceum will be elaborately decorated and will present a brilliant spectacie. There will be eight booths. Four of them will each bear the name of one of the priests, and two others will be designated by the nameg of the principals in the school. The other booths will be under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Keen Rivalry Between Boys and Girls of Parish.

There has been keen rivary between the boys and girls who have been working for the fair. The boys have been striving for the advancement of the booth which will bear the name of Brother Michael, the principal of their department. The girls have been bending their efforts toward insuring the success of Sister St. Luke's booth. The children have thus far been very successful, and a large number of handsome articles to be contested for and placed on sale, have been received.

The various booths and those who will manage them are as follows: Ri. Rev. Mgr. Edward J. McGoldrick booth--Mrs.

Mgr. McGoldrick has been pastor for nearly thirty years, and the enormous strides made by the parish in financial matters as educational facilities have taken as well place principally under his regime. He has taken particular interest in the parochial school, which is one of the largest in the city, and at present is one of the best equipped. The capable force of teachers whose services Mgr. McGoldrick has secured prove their effciency when each year at the regents examination the results show a large number of graduates from St.

Cecilia's at the head of the list. LINEMAN FELL TO HIS DEATH Apparently Sound Pole Went Down With Him. James F. Reilly Fatally Hurt in Navy Yard and Died at Cumber-' land Street Hospital. James F.

When he went up no one in the vicinity had any suspicion that the pole was weak, for it seemed sound from the butt to the top. But Reilly had been at the top only a few minutes when the pole fell with a crash, bringing the unfortunate workman along with it, and burying him under a network of wires and cross-arms. In the fall several other people, who were about at the time, narrowly escaped injury.

A number of marines and workmen ran to Reilly's assistance. He was unconscious and barely breathing when the volunteers got him out from under the wreckage, and before they could free him they had to cut away a number of wire, a dangerous job as it proved to be, but they succeeded without further accident. One of the naval doctors saw the man and advised his immediate removal to the hospital, and the Navy Yard ambulance was called in a hurry. Reilly was taken to the Cumberland Street Hospital, just outside of Navy Yard gate, but it was plain to the doctors there that the man was in a dying condition. An examination of his injuries "showed that both jaws had been broken, his left arm was fractured, he had internal injuries, A cut on the forehead, a fractured skull and extensive bruises all over the body: The man lingered about three hours, dying at 6:05 o'clock last night.

Coroner Glinnen was notified and will hold an inquest. Reilly was 42 years, a bachelor, and lived with his aged parents at 86 South Ninth street, SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

0. McDERMOTT OPPOSE TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC Residents of Sumner Avenue Are Up in Arms. Attorney Belfer Has Been Engaged to Lead Fight-He Gets Little Information From Health Dep't. Residents of the neighborhood surrounding the lower part of Sumner avenue, in the Eastern District, are very much disturbed over a report that the Board of Health contemplates opening a an office for the treatment of tuberculosis in a house on Sumner avenue, near Stockton street. Julius S.

Belter, an attorney, with offices in the Arbuckle Building, on Fulton street, has been retained by some of the property owners to fight the plans of the Board of Health if the establishment of such a station is contemplated. A petition against the proposition of the Board of Health is being circulated not only among the property owners, but among the tenants in the thickly populated tenement houses in the vicinity as well, and an appeal will be made to Mayor Gaynor to protect the neighborhood from such an establishment. "The local authorities at the Board of Health refused to give me any inform1tion about their plans," said Mr. Belfer, yesterday. "As soon as the property owners had communicated with me, went down to the headquarters here of the Health Department, and I was sent to three different pople.

Finally, I was referred to Dr. Baker, whom I was told knew all about it. He refused to give any information. me, told him sanitarium, I had heard that a tuberculosis or dispensary was 10 be opened at 61 Sumner avenue, He replied. 'Oh, no, you mean at No.

"But." continued Mr. Belfer, "he would not give me any more information, and said that I should go to see Dr. Billings in Manhattan. I think that as a citizen, demanding to learn about a public matter in the interest of the taxpayers, I should have been given the information wanted. What I want to learn is whether the Health Department has already leased the property.

If that has been accomplished I will apply for an injunction at once. If that has not been done, we will get up a mass meeting, Ag well as the petition, and appeal to the Mayor. "On Monday our opposition will be in full swing, and we will call upon the Mayor to protest." CORONER TO PROBE TRAGEDY Will Try to Fix Responsibility for Italians' Deaths.
