the the the the great regard for our librarian, but because he to-day says this and says that, I don't think he is really If he is, let's give him the Chairmanship. He should call us to these committee meetings. If we are on committees for anything, we are on committees as committeemen." Is Chairman Snow the Whole Administration Committee? "I thought It was the rule that if a quorum was not present at these committee meetIngs," Dr. Pendergast observed, "that no business could be transacted." "No Chairman can report for a committee," Mr. Phillips remarked.

"Well, I have reported for Mr. Snow, then," Snow observed. "Then," Mr. Phillips said, "I have no objection to offer. I do, however, to your report as having come from a committee, as it was intended, and said to be." The matter, without revealing the exact cause of Miss McGregor's offense, was finally referred to the Law Committee for consideration, before the Board passed upon 1t.

Mayor Low Regrets He Could Not Be Present. The meeting was well attended, the Directors present being Boody, Kaufmann, Murphy, Hooper, Putnam, McMesses, Williams, Fletcher, Kepke, Somers, Peters, Phillips, Cocheu, Eastmond, Devoy, Keaney and Prendergast. Mayor Low, who is an exofficio member of the Board, by virtue of his office, sent a letter, regretting his inability to be present, the first acknowledgment recognizing the Mayor's responsibility In the relation, by the way, that has ever come from the City Hall. Library Buys Its Own Supplies Hereafter. Mr.

Devoy read communications from PubMic Works Commissioner Redfield and Superintendent of Public Buildings Helmle, incorporating an opinion from the Corporation Counsel, in effect that the Bureau of Public Buildings could no longer purchase supplies for the Public Library branches. Mr. Devoy added that consulted the Law Department on the same question, and had been instructed that the Directors must hereafter buy their own supplies. This change met with the general approval of the Board, and steps will be taken to cause a. transfer of funds from the Public Buildings' appropriation for this year to that of the Public Library.

Over Half the Library's Yearly Appropriation Used for Salaries. Treasurer Devoy announced that of the $100.000 appropriation for the Brooklyn Publie Library for 1901, $99,900.06 had been pended. Of this amount, he showed, 574.74 had been expended for salaries. Fifteen branches and the traveling auxiliary, he said, were in operation. In the directors' fund there was a balance of $1,243.83.

Mr. Murphy Tries to Find Out Who Uses All the Car Fares. Director Murphy, who is not unmindful of possibilities for extravagance in public office, and evidently not intend to see the city's money go to waste, declared that in some tone of the library reports for 1899, he had observed a record of 3,295 car fares. travels to that extent?" he asked significantly. Mr.

Snow explained that that was only ahout ten car fares a day. "Well," Mr. Murphy persisted, "who travels ten times a day? I don't." He received no answer, and then turned his attention the Saratoga Branch. wantca ed to know when it would open for business. "To-morrow, Mr.

Murphy," Librarian replied, "if you go there you will find it open." At the suggestion of Mr. Peters, it was resolved to request the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to provide a sum additional to the $196,956, set aside for the library purposes for this year, for supplies, which it was previously expected would come through the Bureau of Public Buildings. Librarian Hill's Salary Boosted to $6,000. The terms of office of the Librarian and Assistant Librarian were formally made subject to the pleasure of Board, instead of for one year, as was the case in Librarian Bost wick's time, and Librarian Hill's salary, in keeping with the understanding when he came to Brooklyn, was increased from $5,500 to $6,000 per annum. Prof.

Hooper, of the Book Committee, declared that the circulation of the Brooklyn Public Library had reached very nearly the one million mark, and that in point of eireulation, the library stood fourth among the public libraries of the country. Will Again Try to Lease Avon Hall. Chairman Sargeant, of the Sites Committee, brought up the frequently agitated matter of more need for room for the central branch, and on his recommendation, it was resolved to request the Sinking Fund Commission to lease Avon Hall, on Bedford avenue for a central branch annex. This was a proposition, it will be recalled, that led to strained relations between the Board and former Comptroller Coler, some months before the demise of the Tammany administration. Or a report from the then Comptroller and President Guggenheimer, the Sinking Fund Commission at that time refused to lease Avon Hall for library purposes, despite the recommendation of the Board of Library Directors.

The new Sinking Fund Commission, it is expected. will take a more favorable view of the matter. The biggest part of the building can be had for $1,800 a year. A Movement for a New Central BuildIng. On motion of Mr.

Kaufmann, of the Law Committee, it was resolved to ask the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to authorize the issue of bonds for the erection and equipment of a Brooklyn central library building, a project which the Board has long meditat- ed, and in which it is deeply interested. Librarian Hill's Yearly Report. Librarian Hill's annual report, 1,000 coples of which were authorized to printed. showed the circulation of last year to have been 943.895 volumes, and the total number of bonks in use to have been 141.000. The number of new readers acquired during the year was 24,788.

Mr. Hill showed that the library was growing rapidly, and that the work throughout was progressing satisfactorily. He expressed his appreciation of the support given him in his official relation, by the Board of Directors, and applauded the efforts of the entire library staff to help make his administration successful. Seven branches, he announced, had been established during the year. He spoke of the great need for more books in the children's department, "and recommended the appointment of a supervisor to take charge of this branch of the work.

The desirability for consolidating the Brooklyn Library and the Long Island Historical Society was pointed out by the Librarian. Such consolidation, he recalled, would add 200.000 volumes to the resources of the public library system. Even the New Carnegie Branches Won't Supply the Demand. Concerning the projected Carnegie 11- braries, he sald: "The Carnegie librarles will be the centre of culture and each building should contain not only books, but a hall to serve Ag a meeting place for the neighborhood, but the twenty Carnegie libraries will not cover the City of Brookiyn. It will be necessary to retain many of the branches already existence, and as the city Increases in population to add more.

The work will be mented by delivery stations, established midway between branches where books can be drawn from the nearest branch, mention of which is made in the President's report."

When he WAS staying in England at the time of the Queen's funeral, he received a telegram and opened it in the presence of. one of his smart little nephews, a boy of six. Something in the telegram did not please his Majesty, and he began to tug at his ear. The little fellow said: "Tell.

me, uncle, why do' you pull your ear?" "Because I am annoyed, my darling," was the reply. "Do you always do that when you are annoyed?" "And "Yes, my darling." said his Majesty. when are very, very much annoyed what do you do?" persisted ghe ju-39nile inquirer. "Then I pull somebody else's," said Will1am 1 Answers.

There was little doing in the market this morning. No farmers' wagons appeared on the square and stand dealers did a very dull business. Prices in most departments were unchanged, the general tone of the market being steady, Bad weather in the West and elsewhere had an effect on the egg market. forcing prices up a little, though the advance is said to be only a temporary one. Poultry of certain kinds was also a bit higher.

The vegetable market was quiet and steady. Other market departments were as usual. The quotations: BEANS AND PEAS.

5. FOR FURNISHING AND DELIVERING SNOW AS AN INDIVIDUA THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR IGNORING HIS COMMITTEE -REPORTS IN FAVOR OF A DISMISSAL. Mr. Phillips Objects Strenuously, and Is Sustained by the Board -Miss McGregor Is the 'Subject of Controversy--Miss Stebbins Resigned Mistakenly. The January meeting of the Brooklyn Pub11c Library Directors last night was not throughout of the peaceful and dignified characters sessions that of usually that marks august the body.

regular There was an open outbreak of hostilities between two members of the Board, which, while I conducted within the bonds of decorum and with proper consideration for the respect due to gentleman of a library director's callbre for another, was, nevertheless, momentarily anticipative of what the Hon. Robert Fitzsimmons might characterize as "a mix-up." There were no blows struck, 'but just the same the two Directors concerned were manifestly "warm under the collar." The trouble originated in the fact that Chairman Henry Sanger Snow, of the Administration Committee, presented a report in his committee capacity, constructively as coming from the committee, which one of his fellow co committeemen at least knew nothing whatever about. The latter was Charles who usually says what he means, and who most of the time knows how to say it. The Incident recorded vividly the fact that Mr. Snow and Mr.

Phillips In days gone by were no: strangers to each other in opposition relation. When Mrs. Mary Craigle was a bone of contention the Board, Messrs. Snow and Phillips oftentimes had the pro and con end.of the argument, respectively. Mr.

Snow Encounters an Obstacle. Mr. Snow, when called upon to present the report of the Administration Committee, among other things, announced that Miss Elizabeth D. Stebbins had resigned from the library forces and that Miss Marietta McGregor had been dropped. In con'nection with the latter announcement Mr.

Snow hesitated. as though at a loss how to frame his words In explaining the cause. Finally he said: "Miss McGregor was dismissed for non-adaptability. for the work. In temperament and the quality of her work she was not suited for the place, and on my recommendation she was dropped." Mr.

Phillips was on his feet forthwith. "I desire to go on record as objecting to Mr. Snow's report concerning Stebbins and Miss McGregor." he declared, with some warmth. matters should not be disposed of in irregular way, as has often happened of late." "Was Miss McGregor given a hearing?" a member of the Board asked. "She was notified that she was not wanted," Mr.

Snow retorted. "Well, that won't do," Director James Murphy interjected. "She is entitled to come here and ask for a hearing," Mr. Snow observed. "I saw Miss Stebhins," Phillips de-.

clared, "and she told me that she had resigned under A misapprehension. These matters should be disposed of in committee after a hearing. course adopted is against the civil service law, and we have pledged ourselves to observe that law." Mr. Kaufmann, of the Law Committee. declared that all civil service appointees should have a hearing before being dismissed.

What Was Miss McGregor's Grievous Offense? "Miss McGregor's case," Librarian Hill explained, "was a peculiarly flagrant one. She was told of the charges which were preferred by the librarians of three branches where she had worked." "I'm a member of the Administration Committee." Mr. Phillips said, with 11-concealed feeling, "and I never heard of this case. I have great regard for the integrity and other commendable characteristics of my friend, the Chairman of the Committee on which I serve, but I think these matters should be considered by the committee, which meets regularly, and not a done in this haphazard way. Mr.

Murphy emphatically thought so, too. Mr. Snow Rises to the Occasion. Then Mr. Snow felt real hurt.

He arose deliberately, with fire in his eyes, and blood In his cheeks. it intended that I should take it," he asked, impressively, "that this Board wants to buy a box of pins or wants a ream of paper put in service, that the Administration Committee, as a whole, should consider the proposition? I want to do as little committee work as possible, and I think as we are all busy men, that that feeling in general. Let me say, incidentally, that I shall not dwell upon the compliments or strictures of my friend, who has recently spoken. I want to say now that one meeting of the Administration Committee is called every month, and that So long as I am Chairman of that body, I shall not deem it proper to call more than one meeting a month. I recommended, after a talk with the librarian, that the incompetent subordinate who has been referred to, should be dropped, and I don't propose to consult the whole board in such matters before making such a recommendation.

If the young desires to bring her case before the Board, she can do SO. Gentlemen, there is too much attention given to details by this Board. There 1s too much red tape here." Mr. Phillips Substantially Differs With Mr. Snow.

Mr. Phillips was up again in a jiffy, as Mr. Snow sat down. "As my esteemed colleague has no knowledge the contents of my mind," he declared, "and as I am a member of his committee, it is just possible that I might have been interested in the case in and as a part of the committee. may have differed with him in this matter." Chairman Boody, in desire for peace.

suggested that Miss McGregor's dismissal and Miss Stebbin's resignation should he referred back to the Administration Committee for further consideration. "I would rather have it go to the Commit'tee on Law." Mr. Snow observed, "as have no disposition or time to go into an 'exhaustive of the Civil Service law. "Very well, then, Mr. Boody retorted, with a conciliatory expression, "suppose we say the Law Committee." "Is this young woman to remain on the troll in the meantime?" Mr.

Cocheu asked. "I take it that until the Board confirms the laction of the committee is our "employ, and that the action of the Admin1stration Committee is not final." "Mr. Cocheu is right," Mr. Snow said, somewhat anxiously, "and the Board ought 'to confirm the action of the committee now, and consider the case afterwards." "It was the action of the Chairman of the Committee," Mr. Phillips hurried to declare, "and Is therefore not official." Mr.

Cocheu Sorry to "Wash Linen" Publicly. "Now, gentlemen," Mr. Cocheu observed, "I am very sorry that we are obliged to wash our linen out here. There seems to he some misunderstanding about these meetIngs of the Administration Committee. Somehow or another I can't them.

One time I postponed two important business engagements to reach one of them, only to find that it had been postponed. have a called the attention of the Sites Committee to the opportunity it has to secure an admirable site for a central library building on Bedford avenue, facing Herkimer street. There can be secured at this point, which is between 'Brevoort place and Atlantic avenue, as many lots as the city may require. The land runs back to the present property of the Longmeyer estate, upon which the Bedford Branch of the library is now situated. d.

That building could still be retained by the city and a magnificent building erected on Bedford avenue, which would be given excellent perspective by the fact that it would face Herkimer street. The Sites Committee has already recommended the Stone property on Franklin avenue, facing Hancock street. THE BROOKLYN INSTITUTE. Morgan Wants. $750,000 for Its Extension-Also Money for War Medals.

ALBANY. Jan. John Hilt Morgan, of Brooklyn, stated this morning that he would introduce in a few days a bill providng for an appropriation of $750,000 for the completion of the third section of the Brooklyn stitute of Arts and Sciences Building. The bill, he said, would be approved by the city authorities as to form, before introduction. Mr.

Morgan to-day introduced a bill appropriating $2,000 to be expended in the purchase of medals for New York Volunteers. who served in the war of the rebellion, the war with Spain and the insurrection of the Philippines for particular deeds of most distinguished gallantry in action, FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw in Favor of the Telegraph Scheme. WASHINGTON, Jan. Shaw, the new Secretary of the Treasury, is an earnest advocate of the proposition for the ment ownership of the telegraphs.

A prominent Republican Senator, who himself, while a member of the House, introduced bills to bring about transfer of the telegraphs from private to Government control and to place the employees under the civil service, is authority for this statement. Secretary Shaw's interest in the matter is intensified because of knowledge of exhis- isting banking conditions. He is strongly in favor 'of the establishment of additional banks, with comparatively small capital, in the country districts, for the convenience of farmers and others. To do this additional bonds upon which the banks could base their circulation are necessary because existing bonds are getting scarce and are commanding high prices in the market. Instead of paying out money from the Treasury for the purchase of the existing telegraph lines, Secretary Shaw realizes that bonds would be issued by the Government in payment therefor, and these securities could be utilized by the banks he desires to foster.

While, therefore, he believes that the telegraphs, like the mails, should be under Government control, he has an additional interest in the subject because of banking HOLDING COATS FOR MONEY. Contractor Has Disappeared, and Tailors Decline to Give Up Goods in Possession. There were a number of Hebrews nefore Magistrate Brennan in the Manhattan Aur. nue Court yesterday disputing their right to retain cloting until they were pald for the work done on the goods. The men were employed by contractor Harris Swetzen, of 175 McKibben street.

The latter disappeared a short time ago, leaving his family without any money to pay the workmen. The manufacturers, Christian Cohen Company. of West Third street, Manhattan, have been making attempts to collect the clothing, and it was with this end in view that they summoned Mrs. Swetzen to court this morning. One of the members of the firm informed Magistrate Brennan that they had entered into an agreement with Swetzen to finish veral hundred coats, valued at $500.

This work. he claimed, was distributed among the tailors in the distriet and Swetzen made a claim for money, which is alleged, wit granted. Swetzen left his home a short ago. and has not been seen since. When the workmen returned with the coats finished they would not leave the goods, as the wife of the contractor had no money to give them.

They left, taking the coats with them. Failing In an attempt to collect the edats from the tailors, Mrs. Swetzen was summoned to court and she tonk a number of her workmen with her. They were willing to bring the coats to court if the manufacturers would pay for them. Magistrate Brennan was not inclined to turn the court into a clothing store, so he advised the tailors to return the goods to Mrs.

Swetzen, when the manufacturers would agree to pay them for the work done. POLICY MEN TIPPED? Precinct Detectives McConeghy and Schaffer Ordered Out on Post Because of Raids. Precinct Detectives John McConeghy and William Schaeffer, of the Stagg Street Station, were yesterday ordered to put on their uniforms and go out on post with the rest of the patrolmen. Their places were taken by Detective Sergeants. Long and MeCauley, who were sent over from the Central Office.

McConeghy was assigned to do wardman's work at the Stagg Street Station two years and Schaffer was transferred from the Hamburg Station. The reason for the change was reported this morning to be due to the number of raids on polocy shops in the precinct of late. Acting Captain Wormoll had the precinct detectives and other men out scouring the district for violators of the law. In many instances the proprictors of the policy shops were tipped off and a number of raids were prevented. State Capitol News.
