MC COOEY GETS IN LINE. Magistrate Steers Says Body Must Be Strictly NonPartisan. Following the revelations of the way in Brooklyn is being discriminated against by the Public Service Commission, a movement is to be started to appeal to Governor Glynn to appoint a Brooklynite as a successor to sioner Eustis, when the latter's term pires on the first of the month. Prominent residents of the borough, regardless of party, were a unit today in expressing the demand that Brooklyn rust have two members on the board, as was originally intended the Public Service Commission was organized by exGovernor Hughes. The idea of starting a borough -wide citizens movement to bring the matter squarely before the Governor was first suggested today by Borough President Lewis H.

Pounds, who 18. known to be disgusted with the way things have been going in the Commission recently. "I think we ought to get up a big petition," said the Borough President, "and send it up to Albany with the signatures of all our prominent men here so that the Governor will appreciate how strongly Brooklyn feels about its lack of proper representation. "Brooklyn certainly should have two members on the board. Everything went, fine while there were, but under the newen arrangement, matters have not been going just as we want them to.

Of course, Queens is making an effort to get a comof its own to succeed Eustis. But the residents. of Queens should remember that the former Brooklyn commissioners gave special attention to that borough. The same would hold if this borough got two men on the board again. "Anything can rightly do to help Brooklyn get its just deserts in this matter 1 will gladly McCooey Blames Dix and Sulzer for Lack of Brooklyn Representation.

John Hi. McCooey. Democratic county leader, intimated that pressure has already been brought upon the Governor to appoint another Brooklyn man to the commission. He put the present lack of proper representation for Brooklyn squarely up to the two former Governors, Dix and Sulzer, who retained only one man from this borough on the board. have advecated having two Brooklynites on the commission ever since its Mr.

McCooey. "The failure to continue two Brooklyn members on the board began with ex-Governor Dix's appointments and was continued by Sulzer. I hope that the present. administration will accord Brooklyn its just due and will help to attain this end. It the Governor appreciates our needs he will heed our Incidentally it was learned by The Eagle today' that there is considerable sentiment about the borough to have former Public Service Commissioner Edward M.

Bassett returned to the board. mer Borough President, now Magistrate Alfred E. Steers said that he had heard many people say that Bassett should be reappointed. Stears Suggests Reappointment of Edward M. Bassett.

"The Public Service Commission should be a bi-partisan body," said Magistrate Steers. "The people of this city don't want politics to be brought into it. For this reason think, and have heard many others express the same opinion, that Mr. Bassett would be about the best man in the borough for the place because of his previous experience and the fine record he made while in office. Brooklyn should certainly have two men on the board and if Glynn appoints another man from our borough, that man should be a fighter who would always have the interest of his constituents at heart." Postmaster E.

W. Voorhies and Dr. George W. Brush, president of the Brooklyn Transit Conference, are among many others who are insistent upon Brooklyn having two men on the commission. "Brooklyn must be fairly represented." said the postmaster, "and to make this possible, we must have two men on the commission.

That is very evident." Like Magistrate Steers. Dr. Brush lleves that no man should be placed on the commission for political reasons. He believes Mr. Bassett 18 the strongest man in sight for the place.

"He should be someone who under. stands the complicated transit situation here," said the head of the transit conterence. "There is no question but that we should have two men and I am strongly in favor of starting a movement to show Governor Glynn the sentiment that exists here." REFEREES APPOINTED.

SALE OF REALTY NOT A FACTOR Amendment Makes It Improbable That Crescent Will Take Over Glenwood, L. Country Club. The governing committee of the CresAthletic Club definitely ended cent. chance that its has rumored wish to sell the club's Bay Ridge property would figure as an issue in the annual election of governors on Saturday night. Without a dissenting vote, the committee has the amendment to the bylaws adopted, 'regulars" had put forward as the chief feature of their campaign, and which, it was generally admitted, was intended as a "blind" for the real issue that has split the club into two bitterly contending factions.

According to this amendment the sale or exchange of any real property of the club, or the purchase of any real property, must be sanctioned by the vote of two-thirds of the governing committee and. the approval of, a majority of, the members of the club. present at meeting called for the purpose. Not: only does this action remove this property question as an issue of the warm election campaign, but in all probability it ends definitely any likelihood: that the club will take over the Glenwood Country Club. "Ever since the 1913 nominating committee refused to name the four governors who are now running for re-election on an independent ticket, its memand supporters have asserted reason lay in the leaning of some of the governors toward the Glenwood property," said a member of the Crescent board of governors today, explaining the adoption of the amendment.

"The board of governors did not believe it fair that its attitude should be so misrepresented and that this misrepresentation should be used to throw dust in the eyes of the members of the Crescent Club to blind them to the real issue. "In order that the situation be cleared up. and SO that the might fully understand their, position, the governors therefore decided prove this amendment. There has never been any belief in the minds of any of those who really knew the attitude of the governors that the Bay Ridge property would be sold without the sanction of the members. But the suporters of the regular ticket have gone ahead making the point to members that this wasn't true; and they have won lots of votes on it.

"There is no doubt but that a number of proxies have been signed by meinberg who were told that this was the only way to save the Bay Ridge property. It would be impossible to estimate just how many, but it is highly probable that many will now be revoked with the absolute removal of this as an issue." Notice of the adoption of the amendment at the regular meeting of the governing committee on Tuesday night was sent out today by the committee supporting the independent nominees for governors. It puts the governors on record as follows: Whereas It is the sense of this committee that no consideration be given to any proposal contemplating the sale or change of any real property of the club without providing for Anal action by the whole membership of the club; Resolved. That the following amendment 10 the bylaws, to be known as section 10 article is approved as an asmurance of a contiuation of this polley: "Any sale of exchange of any real property of the club, or any purchase of real property for the club, must have the favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the governing committee, and the approval of a inalority of the bers of the club present and voting at a regular or special meeting of the whole membership called for the In accordance with the bylaws, this proposed amendment will be submitted to the members for their approval at an early date. By this action the governing committee has definitely set at rest the illfounded rumors of its purpose to dispose of club property without consent of the members.

CRESCENT CLUB FINANCES. President and Treasurer Report-Club to Develop Motor Boating. Members of the Crescent Athletic Club have received the annual reports of PresIdent Fred B. Dalzell and Treasurer Robert J. Wall for the year 1913.

The financial statement shows that the club bad an income during the year amounting to $250,309.93 and expenditures of $245,101.04, leaving a balance for the year of $5,208.89. The largest single Item of in income was $149,020.10 in members' dues. From the restaurant and sales of wines and cigars there was net Income of $52.904.56. The city clubhouse restaurant gave gross Income of $123,166.70. The club's sinking fund balance on hand at the close of 1913 was $29,619.04.

In prefacing his report President Dalzell states that the profits of the club are not 36 large this year as formerly, and gives as a reason for this the condition of business during the past year, and the change in federal, state and municipal governments which, he says, has necessitated reduction in expenses by business men. This state of affairs has not affected the membership, however, for there were only seven less members at the close of 1913 than: in 1912. The membership list is now 2,510, with a waiting list of thirty. The report contains an extensive hecount of the work done in improving both the city house and the country house at Bay Ridge, and has also a report of the entertainments and activities during the year. The work of the club in athletics and its success in that branch is also set down in the report.

Announcement is made in the report of a scheme to develop motorboating at Bay Ridge. The athletic committee has the authority of the governing board t9 RO ahead with that work and will cure the club bond subscriptions to an amount necessary for increasing the size of the basin as to take care of enough motorboats to assure an annual revenue. The remainder of the report is made up of the president's statement praising the new method of appointing committees, which was tried out during 1913. Formerly committees were chosen from the board of governors, but last year members of the club at large were eligible for appointment. DANIELS HERE TONIGHT.

HOSPITAL MAY SELL 'SPOTLESS 'TOWN' LOT Residents' Offer of $25,000 for President Street Land Likely to Be Accepted. PLUS GENEROUS DONATION. St. Giles' Home for Cripples Probably Will Be Erected in Another Section of Borough.

After two conferences yesterday between the residents of "Spotless Town," who are protesting against the building of St. Giles the Cripple's new hospital at President street and Brooklyn avenue, and the directors of the charitable institution, it seemed likely that a compromige would be effected. Although the managers for the hospital have made no definite promise to sell the plot, their spirit towards the house owners is friendly, and it is very probable that the land will be sold shortly. The conferences yesterday came directafter the House of St. Giles had chosen an architect for the building.

The protest of the residents had been lying dormant money-raising since the end of but the hospital's. 'campaign, the of architect and the announcement that bids for the erection of the building would be asked for very soon, aroused them to. action and the conferences were called. The first was held yesterday afternoon in the Diocesan House, 170 Remsen street, and was attended by a committee of four representatives from the locality and three lawyers for the hospital. The residents renewed their offer of purchase for $25,000, and the directors, although they did not accept it outright, let it be understood that they might do so.

It was also learned that as a result the conference in the Diocesan House, the residents would very likely make a belated, though acceptable contribution to the fund, after the possibility of the new building being built in their neighborhood had been removed. This was hinted at by a number of residents most interested, although none would say that such a gift had absolutely been promised. 'The controversy over the lot in "Spotless Town" dates back to the first purchase of the land by the hospital four years ago, although no decided action wag luken by the residents until the directors of the institution tarted to raise money. As soon as plans for this campaign were ennounced, however, the residents began to write letters to prospective donors, to the newspapers, and to the directors cf the hospital, protesting against the erection of the building in the center of 21, of tives the Lark at their residential section. They immediately offered to give $22,000 for the plot, and an announcement was made by Dr.

Burr Burton Mosher, who managed the campaign for the hospital, that the directors were going to refuse that offer point blank. In the midst of the campaign the offer was raised $3,000, eithough, according to E. Everett Rowe, a real estate dealer in the district, the land would never bring that amount in open market. For the householders a committee, consisting of Charles G. Reynolds, chairman; Henry Roth, John M.

Dumproff, E. S. Burden and E. E. Rowe, called upon the directors yesterday afternoon.

The recult was the probability of a compromise, end the purchase by the hospital of anether lot, while the residents give $25,000 plus a donation for the "Spotless Town" property. A second conference, not so important, held later in the Church Charity was Foundation building, Atlantic avenue, near Points were Schenectady again taken avenue, up and for the same the belieft of those directors and sume in the ministers afterwho could not be present noon. Where the hospital's new lot will be, if the compromise is carried out, is an open question. FREE TRAVEL TALKS.
