In it a a eL. "Tel SE I THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1914. 8 ON TWO MORE SUBWAY CONTRACTS Booth Flynn Are Lowest Bidders on Whitehall Street Section.

CANAL STREET LINE PROBLEM. Owing to Swampy Nature of Ground, Shield Method of Tunneling Will Be Used. Action was taken by the Public Service Commission today on two more which are of vital interest contracts, May 12 was set as date for the opening of bids for the Canal street connection, which links up the B. R. Fourth avenue subway system in Brooklyn with the road's Broadway line in Manhattan.

Bids were opened today for the struction of the Whitehall street subway in Manhattan, which connects the Montague street tunnel to Brooklyn with the lower Broadway subway in Manhattan, by which the B. R. T. taps the big downtown business section. This section, known as No.

1 of Route 33, runs from Trinity place and Morris street, mainly through Whitehall street, to South street. It will be a two-track line. The lowest bidder was Booth Flynn, Limited, at $2,056,000. The Canal street line, which is one of those for which the Brooklyn Tranwit conference has been clamoring for action, is really the key the whole Brooklyn system. The only station upon it, which will extend from Centre street to a point near Broadway, will be a general transfer station, where passengers coming from lines crossing the Williamsburg Bridge may transfer to the Broadway subway in Manhattan and vice versa.

From the westerly end of the station an underground passageway will lead to the Canal street station on the Broadway line, so that there will be free access between these stations. Passengers from the loop subway may transfer to the Canal street line and its connections. Owing to the depth and the swampy nature of the ground, the engineers have taken great pains in preparing the plans. Two sets of contract drawings will permit of radical difference in construction. The design for Arst of these schemes is based on the usual cut and cover method.

In the other type of contract drawIngs for that portion of the structure from the Bowery west as far as Baxter street the plans are of the same type as that just mentioned. For the remainder of the contract between Baxter street and Broadway, and notably for that portion between Centre street and Cortland alley, a totally different type of construction is proposed, and that is a cast-iron lined tunnel, surfaced on the inside with concrete. Each of these tunnels is large enough to contain one track and the platform for that track. These compressed tunnels air will methods, be the constructed same has in the construction of river tunnels. For a distance east and west of the station the construction is of still another type, but is of such a character as will permit the use of compressed air methods, the particular method of doing this work, however, being left open to the discretion of the contractor.

HITS AT LOAN SHARKS Chatfield Says Bankruptcy Proceedings Wipe Out Their Claims Another blow at the "loan-sharks" who prey upon salaried city employees was dealt by Judge Chatfleld in the United States District Court today, when he again held that the power-ofattorney under which the "loan-sharks" have been able to assign to themselves practically, the became whole due, of was their wiped victims' out by the initiation of bankruptcy proceedhen ings in the Federal Court. Judge Chatfield enjoined the city paymaster from withholding more than the permitted under the garnishee law of the salaries of the three city firemen whose applications for such a restraining order was called to pass upon. This weekly of their salaries will be withheld from the time they were adjudged bankrupt until they receive their discharge from the bankruptcy proceedings; the rest of their salaries will be paid over to them. The three members of the Fire Department in question were William H. Bedell of 446 Fifty -first street, John J.

Collins of 688 Lexington avenue and Frederick W. Greene of 527 Forty-fifth street.

Favorable action by the Civil Service Commission is taken to mean that one of the new positions will be given to the Progressive organization in Brooklyn. JAIL FOR BOMB THROWER.

FAMILY OF THREE AMONG DEAD All the Seventy-five Inmates Were Asleep When Blaze Started -Many Barely Escaped Death, Boston, April 14-Seven persons were killed, sixteen were injured more or less seriously, and twenty-one families, totaling more than seventy-flve individuals, were endangered in an early morning fire that wrecked the Melvin, a five-story brick apartment house at the corner of Commonwealth and Lang avenues, in the Allston district, today. The dead are: Mrs.

Alice Shackford, wife of C. L. Shackford; Mrs. Edith Bemis, wife of H. E.

Bemis; Mrs. F. C. Bebarrell, a sister of Mrs. Bemis; James Raymond Power, Mrs.

Power and their infant son; Miss Mary Connors, a maid in the Power family. The cause of the fire has not been determined. It started in the basement near the boiler and shot up through a wastepaper chute and an elevator well, spreading rapidly to all parts of the building. All of the inmates of the house were asleep when the fire started, and many of them had narrow escapes in making their way to safety. Some were painfully burned, and a few were Injured by jumping from windows.

All of the injured will recover. The fire was spectacular. Nearly all of the suites small, kitchenette apartments, in which the occupants were trapped ag the flames raced through each story. Men, women and children were standing on window ledges shrieking for help when the firemen arrived. Some reached the ground by crawling along narrow copings to the fire escapes.

Others managed to reach small balconies on the front of the house, from which they were taken down over the fire ladders. It was not until hours after the blaze had been extinguished that the casualty list could be made up. Owing to the number of persons who lived in the house, several were reported missing who afterwards were found to be safe. The damage to the building, which was opened last September, 1s estimated at $60,000. Mrs.

Shackford and Mrs. Bemis met death by jumping, one from the fourth floor and the other from the fifth. The bodies of the other victims were found on the fifth floor, two hours after the discovery of the fire, and the medical examiner expressed the opinion that all had been suffocated. The fire started in the basement, and the flames shot rapidly through a chute and an elevator well. The whole building was ablaze when the firemen arrived.

Miss May Boyd, living next door, was one of the first to see the Are. While another neighbor rang in an alarm, Miss Boyd rushed into the burning building and rang the bells in all the suites. The occupants were quickly roused. Many were able to escape by the stairways. Others used the fire escopes in the rear, until flames bursting from the windows made this impossible.

When the fremen arrived they carried a number of men and women down ladders. Several persons jumped from upper floors into the life nets. Mrs. Shackford and Mrs. Bemls, surrounded by flames, refused heed the warnings of others who shouted to the them to wait for the firemen and leaped to their death.

Among those trapped. on the fourth floor were Mr. Mrs. Clement R. Rogers and Mrs.

Robert Adams. They hastily fashioned a rope from their bed clothing and let themselves down to the second floor from which they were able to reach the ground without injury. WAS ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH. Thinking that the surface of the Williamsburg Bridge Plaza looked just as comfortable as a seat on the green enches that have been provided for persons of retiring habits, John O'Leary, 50 years old, of 521 Driggs avenue, pillowed his head on his arm and dozed. Unfortunately for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, O'Leary was asleep on the bedplate of a switch and the tower-man could not move the levers.

One car after another drew up until there were ten of various lines stopped. Patrolman Bracken of the Bedford avenue station was unsuccessful in his efforts to arouse the man and called to his assistance Patrolman Roese. The officers pulled OLeary to his feet and after a struggle locked him up in the Bedford avenue station on a charge of disorderly conduct. TAXES ARE DUE MAY 1.

Mayor Mitchel declared today that he believed the bill dividing the city Into zones for the purpose of regulating the height and character of new buildings to be unconstitutional. But despite this personal he decided to accept the bill on opinion, of the city, in the hope that the provisions of the bill will be sustained by the courts. The bill was drafted by a special committee of the Board of Estimate after an exhaustive investigation, in which this committee was assisted by an advisory committee, of which Edward M. Bassett was chairman. Under the terms of the bill, the work of carrying out its provisions is to be done by 8 commission appointed by the Board of Estimate.

"I will sign the bill," said the Mayor, "although I have serious doubts as to its constitutionality. It is a good thing, and I hope that it will go, but, as a lawyer, I have some doubt as to whether it is constitutional." The clause in the bill, reading "the Board of Estimate may regulate and restrict the location of trades and industries and the location of buildings, designed for special purposes," 18 regarded as the unconstitutional feature of the measure. Under this restriction, it is pointed cut, property owners would be practically deprived by the city from using their land for any purpose they mignt see ft. Several lawyers have given it as their opinion that this might be construed as "contiscation of property rights." Mayor Mitchel said he WAS not familiar with a decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding a similar statute in Massachusetts. He did not know if the Massachusetts statute was as broad as the one contemplated for the city.

President McAneny, who was the chairman of the spicial committee of the Board of Estimate, which acted in conjunction with the advisory citizens committee, of which Mr. Bassett was chairman, is confident that the law is constitutional. WANT A STATE POLICE. Prominent Men Conducting a Campaign for Such a Force. Not only as a medium of bringing offenders to justice, but as a far reaching moral influence that would have the effect of minimizing crime would a State police for New York, modelled after that in Pennsylvania, be a good investment, say members of the committee for a State Police, which has offices at 20 Vesey street, Manhattan, from which to direct its campaign for the enactment of legislation creating the force.

Oswald G. Villard is president of the committee and Elliott C. Bacon, secretary. The movement had its beginning at a meeting held at the Colony Club on February 11, in response to a call issued by Seth Low, Oswald Garrison Villard, William C. LeGendre, E.

Everitt Macy, William Sloane and others. The Pennsylvania State Police, a force of 228 men, came into being through Governor Pennypacker's efforts in 1905, and since has protected the outlying districts, given assistance in cases of fire, flood and other emergencies, in addition to assisting in the enforcementix of the excise law and suppressing illegal resorts. SHE WASN'T A GIRL BURGLAR. Charlotte Payne Acquitted by Direction of Judge Dike. Charlotte Payne, 18, is not a girl burglar at all, despite the accusations that were made against her by Mrs.

Annie Berger, of 80 Debevoise street, the detectives, the District Attorney and the Grand Jury. It all came out late yesterday afternoon when the thrilling stories told previously by Mrs. Berger had some of the thrills taken out of them by Charlotte's lawyer.

Supreme Court--Murderer Still in Custody. NEW YORK TO FIGHT DECISION. Will Deny Jurisdiction of Judge. Aldrich of U. S.

District Court in New Hampshire, Concord, N. April 14-Harry Kendall Thaw's petition for a writ of habeas corpus was granted by Judge Edgar Aldrich of the United States District Court today. The court said, however, that no order would be issued for the prisoner's discharge from custody until arrangements had been completed to take the case to the United States Supreme Court on appeal. Thaw's petition for admission to bail the court left undetermined, taking the ground that it would be more appropriate for this to be passed upon by the Supreme Court. The result of the decision is that Thaw's guardianship and condition will be unchanged for the present, but that his petition for a writ of habeas corpus will go to the highest court in the land with a decision of the lower court in his favor.

The decision makes more than ten thousand words and discusses exhaustively the various phases of the case presented in the United States Court, concluding: "My conclusion is that the constitutional right of extradition for crime does not reasonably apply to such a situation as this, the right of control by the demanding" statue resides in a degree of custody based on insanity, and where its papers upon their face negative the idea of personal criminal responsibility. It is further thought that it would involve forced or fictional reasoning to make a flight of the character of the one in question, the kind of a flight contemplated by the constitution as a basis for extradition." The final causes of the decision read as follows: "I think the reasonable interpretation of the entire proceeding, including the statement of counsel, 'We expect to take this man back: we expect to try and punish him for his crime, and when he has taken his punishment for his crime, we expect to put him where he belongs and where he will not be a menace to the is at least that the sole purpose is not punish for the supposed crime of, conspiracy to escape from guardianship custody." Albany, April 14-When Informed of the decision in the Thaw case, Attorney General Carmody said: "The case will be taken at once to the United States Supreme Court upon the ground that Judge Aldrich had no power whatever to grant a writ of habeas corpus to Thaw. question involved is one of executive and not judicial jurisdiction. After the Governor of New Hampshire had granted his warrant of extradition ordering Thaw returned to New York State, no court had the power to assume jurisdiction in the case. This will be the contention of New York State on appeal." Washington, April 14-Only by extraordinary steps can the Thaw case he considered by the Supreme Court before next a October, as the court to suspend hearing all cases on Friday, April 24, and hear no more argument until October, unless some a extraordinary occasion should demand it.

That would probably mean that Thaw must remain in custody until at least October. Those best posted on the court's procedure predict it may be Christmas before the Supreme Court passes upon the case finally, BROOKLYN COURTS. SUPREME COURT, TRIAL TERM.

Christiania, Norway, April 14-OMcial announcement today of the postment for a year of Captain Roald Amundsen' a expedition to the North regions confirms Washington reports to that effect. The Fram has been recalled to Christiania, and explorers are Inclined to believe the expodition will never be carried out, 8.8 onsiderable difficulty 1s experienced in raising the extra $200,000 necessirated by the delay.

Since Peary reached the North Pole and Amundsen the South Pole, public interest in such expeditions appears to have cooled considerably. Captain Amundsen is bitterly disappointed at the delay, as he had made careful arrangements for the expedition, both materially and as regards personnel. He intends to ask Norwegian Parliament, in view of the extraordinary predicament of the expedition, to make a grant of the necessary money to keep it alive, but, owing to the heavy state budget, it is doubtful whether he can secure the appropriation. $2,500 FOR KILLING BOY.

1 TO GOVERN MOOSE BY "COMMISSION" Childs Agrees to Head Steering Committee to Be Elected. MEET AGAIN TOMORROW. Aronstam Not Present at Session Last Night-Not Invited, 'Tis Said. The Kings County Progressives have determined to adopt A "commission form of government" in regard to their local affairs. This is the latest name they have devised for the 80-called "steering committee." At a of the executive committee, held last night at the Imperial, on Fulton street, they determined upon the formation of such a committee and at the same time obtained from William Hamlin Childs his consent to head the committee.

Thirty-eight of the leaders met last night, and the plan to rule the local organization through a committee, in which the various factions would be represented, prevailed by vote of 29 to 9. After this was done Mr. Childs made a speech in which he took a stand this Democratic plan and said he wouli be glad to serve on the committee as its chairman. This was greeted with and today the Progressives say that their troubles are over. The committee is to be selected by the county committee through an election from the floor.

The plan talked of last night was to have a committee of eight members, one from each Senate district in Kings County. Charles S. Aronstam did not attend last night's meeting. It is said today he was not invited. George S.

While last night's action is regarded a9 practically decisive, so far as the general plan is concerned, the detail of the committee is yet to be made up.

This meeting is expected to progress the plans almost to the point of completion, BOMB BLOWS UP STORE.

Much Excitement Follows Outrage on Sackett Street. A bomb explosion that shook the neighborhood occurred at midnight last night, when the wine store of Salavator Montaperto, an Italian importer at 184 Sackett street, was partially wrecked. Not trace or piece of the bomb has been found. Every pane of glass in the threestory and basement stone house WAS broken, as were many panes of glass three adjoining houses on both sides of the store. Several windows across the street were also broken.

Mr. Montaperto, the proprietor, denies that he has ever received any letters demanding money, He lives with his wife and six children over the store. After the explosion the street was blocked with an excited mob. The reserves from the Butler street station came up on the run and Captain Willlam F. Boettner took personal charge and helped to calm the excited people.
