MANY ANCIENT RECORDS FIGURE IN L. I. A. A. SUIT Old Men From Hollis and Jamalca Sections Also Called to Testify.

CASE GOES OVER UNTIL JUNE. Civil and Criminal Proceedings Pending Against Road for Closing Hamilton Avenue, Hollis. Judge Humphrey's courtroom in the Queens County Court House at Long Island City yesterday had the appearance of an old curiosity shop. Piles of old record books, maps and atlases were heaped ew about. The antiquarian idea was enhanced by the presence of some twenty or thirty graybeards, among the number being some well known residents of Jamaica.

This ensemble was the result of the arrangements made by District Attorney De Witt to try the indictment found several years ago against the Long Island Railroad for maintaining a nuisance at Hamilton avenue, Hollie, where the sixteen tracks in the Holbin yards have destroyed the usefulness of the roadway. Assistant District Attorney Hetherington, who had been assigned to try the case against the railroad, had subpenaed the county clerk of Queens County, who brought to court old records and maps of priceless value, of dates as far back as 1835. Representatives of the Queens Topgraphical Bureau came laden with ditferent maps and records. Then there was a representative of the corporation counsel's office who came to guard the old records of the village and town boards of Jamaica. These records are so valuable.

written in the script of a day agone, that they were guarded with particular care. The old residents were on hand to testify that Hamilton avenue had been a road and general highway, the route taken by the farmers of a generation ago on their way to market, as long as they could remember until the Long Island came and built its yard and tracks there, practically closing the street, since which time the highway has become grass-grown, The railroad has set up the defense that, under its charter, granted by the state in 1834, it was permitted to construct a railroad and appendages from Long Island City to Greenport, and that the word appendages gives the requisite authority for laying down as many side switches as may be necessary, sixteen or more in the present instance. But when the case was called yesterday Colonel William Beecher, representing the railroad, said that he was not ready to proceed for the reason that Chief Engineer Savage of the road was too ill to come into court, and then, besides, there was pending a mandamus suit directed against President Lawrence Gresser. in which the railroad has intervened, which seeks to compel the borough president to open this street. Colonel Beecher said that the railroad wanted to get this civil suit out of the way first.

He said that the railroad was willing to pay the $500 fine which would be assessed against it if this proceeding b9 dropped. District Attorney De Witt declared that the orderly proceeding would be to try the criminal action first. He said that he was willing to accept the fine, provided the railroad was willing to enter a plea of guilty, but this latter condition Colonel Beecher was unwilling to accept. Judge Humphrey agreed with District Attorney De Witt as to the order of procedure, and so he set the first week in June as the date on which the case would have to be tried. The valuable ancient records were packed up and taken back to their regular custodians.

NO REALLY BAD BOYS, AIlS TELLS MOTHERS Some Are Better Than Others; All More or Less Good.

RAPS CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. In Address at Newtown, America's Adopted Citizen Makes Plea for the Miscalled Bad Boy. At the annual rally of the Mothers Clubs of School Districts Nos. 41 and 42, Long Island City and Newtown, held yesterday afternoon at the Newtown High School, the distinguished adopted American, Jacob H. Riis, of Richmond Hill, informed the parents and teachers present that there were no bad boys, but different degrees of good boys.

"When I was a boy and attending school in Denmark my teacher grabbed me by the neck and put me into a hogshead, because I did not want to attend school. Another day she took me out into the yard and showed me a pigpen where there were eleven pigs. She said to me, 'Do you see that pig with its ears clipped, and do you know why it is that replied I did not, and the teacher told me that was because it was lazy. She then told me she would do the same to me if I did not work harder in school." He stated he received many whippings when he attended schood, which never has regretted. "I had," he said, "a son who did not care to tatend school and I told him to go out West.

He did and got employment on a cattle ranch. A short time afterward I received a letter from Judge Lindsey of Denver, telling me that my son was his probationary officer. He did not like that position, however, and to-day he is superintendent of his own forests. "When anyone asks me the question, Why is a boy bad? I tell them to omit the word and then I would reply he is not. Ninety -nine times out of one hundred boys are bad on account of their crowded surroundings, such as in the tenement districts of Manhattan.

"Our schools in Manhattan are not doing their full duty. This is shown by the fact that after the boys leave school they cannot answer simple questions. I will give you an example of it. When Mr. Roosevelt was police commissioner he wanted at one time two thousand policemen.

An examination was held and one of the questions asked them, and which nearly all failed to answer, was, 'Name the five of the thirteen states that formed the Here is what the majority answered, 'England, Ireland, Wales, Belfast and "Open play grounds make boys good. take the lads off the crowded streets. "Good is in us all; there are no really bad boys. We must help the boys to jump off the right side of the fence, and they will be good boys." Mrs. D.

F. Wilcox of Local School Board No. 42 presided. Mrs. Alice Lee Post, member of the Board of Education, made a brief introductory address and Miss J.

May a shame for that man to sit there and that served bad meat at my boarding say, shouted Mrs.

Martha a A. Fordham, an 80- year old Greenpoint widow, in the County Court yesterday noon, when she was rebutting the testimony offered My H. H. Hallock of the same place, whom she was suing for a board bill of $112. Mrs.

Fordham is a weak and frail little woman with nodding head and quaint corkscrew curls. Her every action and word savored of the old-fashioned country folk. She said she rented a house of the defendant and later on Hallock, who is a widower, wanted to take table board. She agreed and fixed the price at $7 a week. "He met me one day in the cemetery and asked me about it," she testifled.

"'He said if 01 would board him he would make the house over to me, and would sign the papers. I saw he was not quite himself, so I told him to come around the next day. Then he did not want to make the house over to me, but we agreed upon $7 a week for two meals a day, but, as a matter of fact, I served him three good meals. In addition to that I nursed him when he was ill, took care of him at other times and had to put up with a lot of extra trouble. think $7 a week reasonable enough for the trouble I had with him.

Why, do you know." she said in an awed sort of a whisper, "they brought him home once in a wheelbarrow. And once he came to my table intoxicated and spilled the gravy. Why, it was worth $2 a day to take care of him and clean up." Mr. Hallock testified: "She wanted to give me board in lieu of rent, and I agreed. But she was an awful boarding mistress.

She used to take the milk pitcher away and put it in the cupboard so I could not have any. At other times she filled the milk up with water. She would let me have but two spoonfuls of sugar, while the others had three. "She made stew one day for the whole family out of a little piece of meat no bigger than your hand. I smelled this meat, before I came down stairs.

We had the stew for dinner at night. didn't eat any. The next morning we had it warmed up for breakfast. I said: 'This meat is bad; a dog wouldn't eat She said: "The meat is all right. I guess the dog will eat So she put it on the floor and called the dog.

He sniffed at it and ran out of the house. Then I got mad and wouldn't board with her any more. I wouldn't give her more than $2 a week for such board as she provided." During the recital about her table Mrs. Fordham had to be a admonished several times by her attorney to remain seated. She kept muttering in an aside that he wasn't telling the truth.

Then she was called in rebuttal and very indignantly declared that she had been shamefully maligned. "I have taken boarders seventeen years: I am a hard-working widow. and I always set a good table." It was admitted that she owed the defendant $24, leaving a balance in her favor of $88. and the jury returned a verdict for this amount in favor. Defendant denied that he came home intoxicated or caused her any trouble because of his drinking.

WASN'T A CLERICAL ERROR Real Facts i in Cut in Whitestone Paving Money Told. Item for Block Between Eighth and Eleventh Avenues Cut Out to Reduce Amount to Be Spent There. That every cent of the amount set aside for the repaving of streets in Queens is now pledged, and that the residents of Whitestone would have to wait another year at least before Eighteenth st. between Eighth and Eleventh avenues can be paved, was the substance of the information gleaned by the delegates who this week visited Borough Hall to discuss the matter with President Gresser. The delegation included PresFrank E.

Knab and several members of the Whitestone Improvement Association. Most of the money, it was learned, has been promised for the work on Jackson avenue and College Point causeway. Work on the paving of the streets of Whitestone, not including block, it was stated, will be started within a few days. The streets to be paved are: Eighteenth street, from Seventh a to Eighth avenues; Eighth avenue, from Nineteenth to Sixteenth streets; Sixteenth street, from Eighth to Seventh avenues, and Seventh avenue, from Sixteenth to Eighteenth streets. The block in disputeEighteenth street, from Eighth to Eleventh avenues- was in the original petition for paving which was made by the Whitestone Improvement Association.

When the contract was advertised this block was left out, and this fact caused much comment. At first the borough officials denied that they had ever consented to this street being paved, although it is a more important business street than some that are to be done. Later, when a letter from former Borough Secretary Cragen, addressed to the association, was shown, in which this block was included in those approved by President Gresser, they admitted "a clerical error in the Borough Hall." On Tuesday there was a new development in the case, when Engineer Crowley admitted to the delegates that he had stricken out that block from the number to be paved SO that the amount spent in Whitestone for this work might not be too great, Several other matters of importance were discussed by the Borough President. and it is hoped that Whitestone will get more improvements as a result. In some speaking of the cigning of the dockmaster's bill by the Mayor, President Gresser assured the delegation that the dock was now as good as secured.

Commissioner of Public Works Sullivan was seen in the Borough Hall, also, and he informed the delegation that a few days ago he had issued to the Long Island Railroad a permit for closing the Eighth avenue bridge, preparatory to making improvements and strengthening it for the trolley cars.
