5 QUEENS BOROUGH AND LONG ISLAND MORRIS PK. METHODISTS TO BURN TWO MORTGAGES Sunday, May 22, to Be a Day of Great Rejoicing There. DEBT TO BE LIFTED, $7,000. One Mortgage Has Stood 20 Years; Other Since 1901-Church in Fine Condition Now. Preparations are now on foot for the celebration of the burning, on Sunday night, May 22, of two mortgageg aggregating $7,000, which have been standing against the First Methodist Episcopal Church and parsonage in Johnson avenue, Morris Park, of which the Rev.

Frederick Stiehler, Ph. is pastor. The occasion will also be the twentieth anniversary of the erection of the present church edifice, against which a mortgage of $3,500 has been standing since that time, The other mortgage of $3,500 represents a debt incurred in 1901, when the present parsonage, which stands on the opposite side of Johnson avenue from the church, was built. The official board of the church held a long session Wednesday evening, at which plans were discussed and a programme adopted for the celebration. Dr.

William J. Thompson, of Tarrytown, N.Y., a member of the New York East Conference, will preach in the morning and in the afternoon Dr. Thompson, together with the Rev. Dr. William Layton, the new district superintendent of the Brooklyn South District, and 'the Rev.

C. S. Wing, superintendent of the Brooklyn Church Society, will address the church and Sunday-school. At the conclusion of the evening services the mortgages will be burned. It has not yet been positively decided who will apply the match, but it will be either the pastor or the president of the board of trustees of the church, former Assemblymen William A.

DeGroot. In the evening, besides the divines above mentioned, there will also be present John M. Bulwinkle, E. B. French and Henry Quick, members of the executive committee of the Brooklyn Church which was the first holder of the mortgages.

For the past four years, or during the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Stichler, the church has been making a determined effort to clear itself of debt. At the time Dr. Stiehler came to the church there was besides the two mortgages of $3,500 each, a floating indebtedness of $1,000.

This latter sum was raised within a short time after Dr. Stiehler was called, and since then all of the organizations of the church have been working to lift the mortgages. By means of two fairs (at one of which $1,000 was raised and at another besides a number of smaller functions, the Ladies Aid Society, of ninety women of the church, has given toward the payment of the mortgage $2,750 during the past two years. The original church building, which was used until the erection of the present structure twenty years ago, is now used as a Sunday-school, but 80 cramped is it becoming that a new building will have to be erected soon, and toward this, while at the same time it was raising money to pay off the mortgages, the church has secured $1,800. The church itself is in flourishing condition, there being now 560 full members and thirty-six probationers.

In the main department of the Sunday-school, of which William A. DeGroot is superintendent, are 691 scholars. while the home partment, of which Mrs. Mary F. Sprague is the head, numbers about 375.

On the cradle roll. of which Miss Louise DickInson is the superintendent, are the names of 120 little ones. The other societies of the church include an Epworth League of 127 members. a Junior League of 90, and a Queen Esther Circle of 35 young women, who do home missionary work and act as deaconesses. The Women's Foreign Missionary Society, with a membership of 90.

raised last year $170 for foreign mission work. besides contributing its share toward the mortgage fund. PASTORS MAKE A PROTEST Freeport Clergy Denounce Unity A. Boxing Bouts. In Signed Statement to Press, They Declare Exhibitions a Menace to Moral Well-Being of Town: (Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L.

May 6--The clergymen of this village, following an expression from the pulpit, by the Rev. W. A. Richards, pastor of the M. Church, concerning boxing exhibitions conducted by Unity Athletic Club, have joined together in a protest and to-day gave out a statement for publication.

They declare that the boxing exhibition of April 18 aroused great moral concern in the village, and that the club, as well as others, realizes this is evidenced by the invitations to the local clergy to attend the following event in the capacity of judges of its character. The statement declares it apparent that "the club's ideals of public decency and of the moral and social needs of Freeport are vastly different from those entertained by the great majority of our people, and convince us that it is highly expedient to of the churches we severally represent, make this statement, not only on behalf having the full authority of our various boards, so to do, but also on behalf of the vast majority or our fellow townsmen." The protest is based on the following counts: That the Unity Athletic Club, in its present reported membership of some 1,100, is not, and cannot be, a genuine Freeport organization. That it has been carrying on, under a thin cloak of legality, a kind of exhibition which tends to demoralize young manhood, debase the morals of the community, bring an undesirable class of visitors to our town, and put a stigma upon the fair name and fame of this village of homes, schools and churches. That on account of our sympathy with genuine athletic and clean sports, we deplore a movement that begins with so questionable a class of events as that referred to above. "4.

That we count it particularly unfortunate that the club, as organized and conducted, while drawing some portion of its support from Freeport, should bring upon our people in general the odium which attaches not only to such entertainments, but atwo the large crowds of members and followers recruited from the sporting element of the adjacent towns and city. That we respectfully request the management to omit from future programmes such events as will offend the taste and outrage the moral sense of so large a majority of our people." The protest is signed by the Revs. P. St. George Bissell, rector of the Church of the Transfiguration: Charles A.

Logue. Church of Our Holy Redeemer: W. A. Richard, First Methodist Episcopal Church: Charles H. Scholey, First Presbyterian in Church: F.

J. Soule, First Baptist Church; Oscar W. Werner, Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. MANY HEIRS APPEAR TO CLAIM ESTATE Executor of Emma Chown of Astoria to Have His Troubles. ALL ESTATE WAS LEFT TO HIM.

The body the unknown man, found in the water of, Whitestone about noon on Wednesday, was positively identified in Johann's Morgue, College Point, yerterday, as that of Balthoser Streckfuss, 56 years old, a tailor, of A 1454 A Wilkinson avenue, Bronx. The man's son mado the identification. He said his father was undoubtedly a suicide by drowning.

Mothers should teach the little ones its daily use CASSIDY MEN GUESSING Puzzled by R. H. Williams' motion in Tax Dept.

He Was a Cassidy Man Last Fall. Now He Appears to Line Up With Ex-Boss' Foes. "How did Richard H. Williams receive his appointment as head of the Tax Department in Queens Borough?" is the question that is being asked by all the anti-Cassidy men in College Point these days. Mr.

Williams, as was announced on Wednesday, has been promoted by the tax commissioners from deputy tax commissioner to chief of the Department of Taxes and Assessments in Queens. The appointment with it an increase of salary of scarries Williams during the last campaign came out for Cassidy and worked hard for him both in the primaries and on Election Day. It is said that owing to his good work Cassidy was able to carry the primaries. One thing he did that surprised all of the old-time politicians was to carry the village of College Point for Cassidy. Mr.

Williams was a lifelong friend of Patrick J. Mara and former Sheriff Harvey, and when he announced that he was to fight them in the open very people believed it, because of his friendship with the two leaders. He held a large number of public meetings in College Point and made many charges against Mara. It is said that the reason he turned against 'Mara and Harvey was because they advocated the appointment of John J. Halleran of Flushing for tax commissioner.

Williams, who was deputy commissioner for a number of years, believed that he was entitled to the appointment. It is now stated that Mara, Harvey and Halleran have made up and that it was Halleran who placed Williams' name in nomination at the meeting of the tax commissioners when Williams was appointed. An effort was made to see Tax Commissioner John J. Halleran and Mr. Harvey to-day, but they were out of town.

Mr. Williams is a son of Robert Williams, a former builder, and was born in College Point on August 1, 1863. After attending the public school he entered St. Francis Xavier College, New York, where he graduated. He entered politics shortly after he became of age, and has always been regarded as a Democrat.

Before consolidation he held the office of assessor in the old town of Flushing. He is an exempt fireman and a member of the Knights of Columbus. LONG ISLAND OBITUARY. John S. Caire.

Clacher. Sea Cliff, L. May 6-Thomas Lockart Clacher, for over forty years a resident of the Eastern District of Brooklyn, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Peter Rohrbach, here yesterday, after an illness of only three days. Death was caused by a paralytic stroke: he was in his seventy-seventh year and had been a widower about ten years.

Mr. Clacher was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to this country over fifty years ago; he located in Brooklyn and remained there until he came to live at Sea Cliff, about seven years ago. He was very well known in New York, especially in medical circles, as he served for twenty years in the bacteriological department of the New York City Board of Health, retiring from that position only when he left the city. Two sons, Charles and Thomas Clacher, and two daughters, Mrs. Charles Peck and Mrs.

Peter Rohrbach, survive. Funeral services will be held at his home here on Saturday 'evening; interment will be at Cypress Hills, and Sunday morning. Carrie B. Miles. (Special to The Eagle.) Sag Harbor, L.

May 6-A telegram received from Bridgeport, last night told of the death of Mrs. Carrie Merrill Miles, wife of Dr. Harry H. Miles of that city. Both she and her husband were natives of this village, where they were married a few years ago.

Mrs. Miles was a daughter of the late Edward R. Merrill, contractor and builder. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed, but the body will be brought to Sag Harbor for burial in Oakland Cemetery. Mrs.

Miles is survived by one brother, Frank R. Merrill, of 505 East Eighteenth street, Manhattan, and three sisters, Miss Laura Merrill and Mrs. S. G. Gregory of Easthampton and Mrs.

Edna Neilson of Brooklyn. PETITION TABLED. (Special to The Eagle.) Manhasset, May 6-Following closely the action of the Port Washington' Improvement Association, a four consisting of E. J. Robinson, Austin Hicks, Moses Schenck and Abram Wolf of the Citizens League of Great Neck, appeared before the town board and asked for something like 7,000 feet of sidewalk construction for that village.

In the petition presented nothing was said about the property owners on the streets where sidewalks are wanted paying one-half the cost, so the board voted to lay the matter on the table. A committee from Port Washington met with so much success a week ago that Great Neck felt encouraged to try it, but by asking the town to pay the entire cost of the sidewalks the petitioners made a mistake. The officials realize the fact that sidewalks are a necessity and an improvement to any village, but for the town to take the full responsibility of laying concrete walks on town highways would be an utter impossibility at this time, as it would cost about $50,000 to do all the work. UNION COURSE MAN FENCES IN STREET Mr. Jaeger Says the Land Is His and Public Has No Easement.

NEIGHBORS MAY DO LIKEWISE. It They Do, Some Will Add Largely to the Value of Their Real Estate. Louis Jaeger, an architect and builder living in Shaw avenue, Union Course, decided that his property extends from Shaw avenue dircotly across what has been used as a roadway on the north side of the Long Island Railroad tracks in Atlantic avenue, and up to the fence inclosing the tracks. Around this piece of property he has caused a fence to be erected completely shutting off traffic on the latter street for a distance of about 100 feet. Those persons wishing now to drive along the north side of the tracks on Atlantic avenue must cross the tracks at Rockaway road and then recross at Shaw avenue, thus going around the fence.

This roadway, across which Mr. Jaeger has erected his fence, is said to have been in use for about thirty years, and some who have been using it are very indignant because of erection of the fence. They want it removed at once. The owner of the strip of land says that he can prove his title to it, and declares that all users of the roadway during these many years have been technically trespassers upon-his property. Mr.

Jaeger says that he would not have shut off the road if the persons using it could have been made to realize that they were upon private ground and acted accordingly. He asserted that automobilists were in the habit of coming directly through his front gate, thus seeking a short cut LO Shaw avenue. His family were also annoyed by the ashes, blown from passing garbage wagons, which at times, he said, would be blown through his windows into his house. Others, he says, have shut off Atlantic avenue, as he has done, among them two factories in Woodhaven and one in Union Course. Therefore, the road is, he declares, at best al disconnected street, and he does not think that he is causing anyone a very great inconvenience by building the present fence.

Those who object to the erection of the fence say that although the property over which the road now runs may have at one time belonged to him, yet after it has been open for so long a time Mr. Jaeger has no claim upon it, and that it is now a public highway. Mr. Jaeger's neighbors declare that they will also fence in the road lying next to their properties if the fence is allowed to stand. This roadway is about 20 feet in width, and each property owner would add to his property 2,000 square feet, if his lot abutted for 100 feet upon Atlantic avenue, and 1,000 square feet, he had a 50-foot A property having a frontage of 100 feet upon Atlantic avenue would have about $500 or $600 added to its value by this arrangement.

CHINAMAN'S RECORD CLEAR. Wun Shung of Ozone Park Did Not Violate Exclusion, Law. One of Ozone Park's Chinese laundrymen will soon be washing the soiled linen of his old customers, for he has just been acquitted of the charge of violating the Chinese exclusion law. Wu Shung, for that is his name, after his first trial was ordered back to Commissioner of Immigration William Williams for further investigation. Witnesses testifled that Wun Shung came into America before the passage of the recent act and that his papers to that effect were destroyed by the recent San Francisco earthquake.

William P. Allen, assistant United States district attorney for the Eastern District of New York State, was the prosecuting lawyer and sought to prove that he had entered the country after the act became a law. HEAVY TRUCK OVER HIS LEG. Accidentally falling from his seat on a truck of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company which he was driving in Myrtle avenue, near Cooper avenue, Glendale, yesterday at noon, Daniel McNiell, aged 24, was painfully injured when the rear wheels of the truck. which was loaded with a half dozen 8-inch iron pipes, passed over his right leg.

It was at first thought that the leg had been broken and an ambulance from the German Hospital was summoned. Examination, however, showed that he had sustained only a severe bruise. He was removed to his home, 86 Remsein street. Brooklyn. WILL HEAR JOHN MITCHELL.

John Mitchell, the labor leader, will address the Progress Society at its open meeting, to be held on Tuesday evening. May 24, in Imperial Hall, Far Rockaway.

Black taffeta silk gown; cream lace QUEENS STREET FOREMEN MUST BECOME CYCLISTS Wheels Secured for Them to Use in Making Their Rounds. ORDER TAKES MEN UNAWARES. Some of Them Have Yet to Learn to Ride, and Great Doings Are Expected. The strenuosity of the Gresser is palling on the men whose names appear on the borough payroll.

Just where it is going to stop no one knows, but it will have to' stop soon or all the statesmen may throw up their hands and resign. Yesterday half a dozen bicycles were received at the office Cleaning Commissioner Arrow Hankins. who of. announced that it was his Intention 10 mount the district foremen on machines So they could hustle aroun and see what the street sweepers and the ash cart men were doing. The commissioner has not yet announced the addition of an athletic trainer to his department, nor has he placed his orders for arnica and bandages, but they will be necessary.

Only one or two of the foremen at present know how to ride a bicycle. The others are going to take lessons on the asphalt pavement on Fourth 'street back of the commissioners office. The boys in the neighborhood are in expectatin of a show that will beat Wild West to a frazzle. Several of the foremen are in the heavy weight class, and what they will do to the bicycles and to themselves remains to be seen. All the employes of the Water Department, which does come under the borough president, yesterday appeared in their olive green uniforms.

These men had kicks about being made conspicuous, but after grumbling as much as they dared, they went to a nearby cafe, drowned their sorrows and then started on their rounds. In the office of the Bureau of Sewers in the president's office yesterday appeared a big notice which will have a tendency to put a stop to the petty graft that Commissioner Fosdick has unearthed in this bureau. The notice states that no connection to a sewer or drain hereafter shall be made without a permit from the borough president and that all these connections must be inspected by an inspector of the department. It is stated in big type that the sewer trench must be left open until after the inspector has been on the job. Nothing showed the farce of former inspection as much as the fact that very frequently the inspectors came around to make inspections after the trenches had been closed up.

It was impossible then to tell whether one or A number of connections were made in the same trench. WEATHER FORECAST Persons desiring information concerning the weather, temperature or other information can secure it by using telephone No. 571 Main, from 8 A.M. 6 P.M. week days.

Experts With 30 Years Experience. 10 10 DOL SHOW NEED OF EXERCISE TO KEEP GOOD HEALTH Physicians Emphasize Necessity of Exerting Muscles to Avoid Many Human Ills. ONE DOCTOR PITIES GIRLS. How to Cure Grip and Various Other Diseases Marks Medical Lecture. The series of practical health talks which the Brooklyn public owes to the initiative of the American Medical Association was continued yesterday afternoon with four -minute addresses delivered in Erasmus Hall High The speakers were Dr.

Jerome Walker, who talked on muscular exercise and its relation to health; Professor Elizabeth Venable Gaines, who showed the need for public health education; Dr. Thomas B.1 Hegeman, who explained symptoms and after effects of the grip, and Dr. Eliza M. Mosher, the chairman of the meeting, who presented "by word and illustration good and bad habit postures. Dr.

Walker in his address repeatedly emphasized the necessity of adapting exercise to the age and strength of the individual. Moderate exercise stimulates nearly all the bodily functions. It promotes the circulation of the blood and lymph, increases bodily absorption; helps! secretion, brings oxygen into the body, develops breathing. relieves particularly congestion, from which older people are to suffer; takes off fat-at least in apt most cases--and brings vital heat to the body. Fully 60 per cent of all the heat of the body is evolved by the action of the muscles.

It has been calculated that a normal man weighing 140 pounds transfers into, tissue over one ton of food a year. To health he needs an amount of preserve daily exercise equal to a six or nine mile walk, Experiments show that the normal boy covers about twenty miles a day, while a woman engaged in her housework only covers about two and one-half miles. And this indoor walking should never be allowed to take the place of outdoor exercise, for the fresh air is an important elemert of benefit. The speaker related an interesting experiment with eleven of the most stupid inmates of Elmira Reformatory. By giving these men two hours a day of active outdoor exercise for five months it was found possible to raise their average, class room standing from 45 to 74 per cent.

"I pity the girl," Dr. Walker said. "She doesn't have half a chance. Her under clothing is so arranged as to bind her arm muscles, her waist is compressed, her poke collars interfere with the muscles of the neck, and her shoes are almost always bad. This unhealthy clothing interferes with exercise." In presenting the next speaker Dr.

Mosher mentioned that Professor Gaines is president of the New York School Hygiene Association, an organization which is working to raise the of; health among the school children of the city. Miss Gaines is professor of biology at Adelphi College. In her talk on the need of public health education she said in part: "The deaths from many of our intrinsic (meaning our local and constitutional diseases) are increasing in number, while the deaths from the majority of contagious diseases are decreasing in number, and some of the most virulent of these, the black death, cholera and smallpox. have virtually been driven from the civilized earth. The recent conquest of yellow fever is one of the most brilliant pages in the history of human warfare with disease, and we have all, no doubt read the current article, 'No More Tuberculosis in These are the diseases which we seem to be controlling, while the constitutional and local diseases seem to be controlling us.

"The committee of physical welfare of school children found among 1,400 children: Forty per cent, need of dental care. Thirty-eight per cent. had enlarged glands of the neck. Thirty-one percent. had defective vision.

Eighteen per cent. had enlarged tonsils, Ten per cent. had post nasal growths. Five per cent. were improperly fed.

"It must be acknowledged that these records are not encouraging. "Perfect health can only result from thorough co-operation between personal AMUSEMENTS MATINEES MONTAUK WED. SAT. CEORCE EVANS HONEY MINSTRELS Fulton St. Nostrand Av.

"Public hygiene can keep the bacterial poisons out of our blood which may enter from water, from milk, or from air, but it can't keep the harmful intrinsic poisons from forming in the blood from worry, fear and anger. It can provide pure milk, can control the farmer and the milk dealbut can't force the housekeeper to keep it at a temperature of 45 degrees, or to exclude all air from the bottles. It can drive out the sweatshop with its danger of infected clothing, but it can't prevent one from poisoning the body with its own skin exudations, as it surely does, if clothing is too impervious to air, or too infrequently changed.

It can provide public baths for each person in Brooklyn, (as Tokio in Japan has done for each of its citizens) but it can't enforce the essential daily bath. It can provide clean streets and reduce the dust in the air to a minimum. It can inhibit the feather duster in the schools (which, by the way, it has not done in our city) but it can't exact moist sweeping, or the use of the carpet sweeper in the home. According to our best records: In 16th century life span was 21.2 years In 17th century life span was 25.7 years In 18th century life span was 33.6 years In 19th century life span was 45 years Notice four years increment in the 100 years between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; eight years between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and between the eighteenth and nineteenth, twelve years increase in the life span. Remember that Dr.

Fisher hag proved that if all known hygienic reforms were put into practice to-day, we could add fifteen years to the human life span. Fifteen added to forty-five would make sixty years, an average length of life. still within ten years of the three score and ten of the Mosaic dispensation. The "grip," according to Dr. Hegeman, is epidemic influenza, caused by a vegetable germ.

It is a contagious disease, which spreads with remarkable rapidity, and seems most likely to occur when there has been a sudden change in the weather. The breeding period of the germs is from one to four days after they have come into the system, Grip is an extremely serious illness, and can be readily differentiated from common colds. The patient should be isolated, and should not be permitted to go out until health is completely re -established. "Grip" pills and powders should be avoided, and the sufferer should consult a physician who will adapt the treatment to the individual case. Dr.

Mosher, in her interesting explanation of habit postures, first showed, with the aid of pictures and by personal 11- lustration, the normal poise of the bodv. With the use of a flexible posture model Dr. Mosher showed some of the bad habit postures commonly assumed, and showed how the good habit postures leave the most space between spine and sternum, where heart and ungs, the organs requiring most freedom of action, are 10- cated. Women too generally stand on their heels. Another bad habit posture, common among women and children, is that in which one foot is placed far in advance of the other, and there is a dropping of left side of the hip.

In closing, Dr. Mosher announced that It has been decided to extend the present course of lectures by giving an evening lecture on May 18, at the rooms of the Kings County Medical Society on Bedford avenue. The concluding series of the talks previously announced will be given at the Manual Training High School, on Seventh avenue, at 3:30 P.M. on May 12. AMUSEMENTS-BROOKLYN.
