THE BROOKLYN TIMES. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1903. 3 UNITE IN PROTESTING WALLABOUT ABATTOIR Clinton Ave. Marketmen and Nineteenth Ward Residents to Appoint Com.

THEY WILL GO TO LAW, MAYBE. Such Possibility Intimated at Meeting Held Last. Evening in Pouch Gallery-Legal Claim. Based on Section 81, of Sanitary Code. At the Pouch Gallery, on Clinton avenue, last evening was held an adjourned meeting of the Clinton Avenue Association.

This organization was formed three years ago for the purpose of improving and beautifying the broad thoroughfare that bears its name. At present It 1g leading a fight against the establishment of an abattoir or slaughter house in Wallabout Market, on land near a fine residential section. Residents of that portion of the Nineteenth Ward which is near the market were represented night's concaituated, ference by ex-Senator David F. Davis. A delegation of marketmen was also present.

After considerable discussion, a resolution was adopted by the association, with the understanding that the marketmen and the Nineteenth residents will take similar action in the near future, calling for the appointment of a large committee of sentative citizens to wait upon the troller and protest formally against the establishment of the abattoir. The position of the residents is well understood by the city officials, but it is thought that a protest coming from some influential property owners will have weight. If it does not then the citizens are prepared to go to law about the matter, provision for the engaging of counsel having been made In the resolution unanimously adopted. It has been discovered that section 81 of the Sanitary Code prohibits the establishment of an abattoir, similar to the one proposed, within the limits of market. Section 82 provides that slaughter houses existing in January, 1898, may remain as they are, but that the establishment of new ones must be strictly in accordance with the law.

The association thinks it has a clear case if it is necessary to go to law. The resolution adopted is as follows: Be it resolved That is a committee of forty be appointed to appear before the Comptroller of the city at such time A8 he will assign for a hearing. to oppose the granting of any permit to said Benjamin May for a slaughter house on Wallabout Market lands, and to oppose the granting of any lease for any such a purpose, and to appear be-. fore such other city authorities, if any, as may have jurisdiction in the premises. and to use all honorable meaus to prevent the erection of any such establishment and the carrying on of any such slaughter house business, and that this committee be empowered to employ counsel to represent it before the Comptroller and other city authorities and to take such legal proceedings a8 hereinafter may become necessary to avert the establishment of any such slaughter house upon any part of the market lands or in the vicinity thereof, and this committee be also empowered to devise and present a plan for procuring the requisite means to carry these resolutions into full Vice President William H.

Nichols was in the chair during the meeting, which began at 8:15 o'clock and which was attended by nearly a score of members. J. Herman Ling in behalf of the marketmen's delegation, spoke briefly and said that the stand dealers of the Wallabout were opposed to the abattoir for several reasons, and that their association is in hearty accord with any other organization that sees feet to protest against its establishment. Ex-Senator David A Davis, in behalf of residents of the Nineteenth Ward, spoke of the legal side of the case, and quoted sections 81 and 82 of the sanitary code, which apparently prohibit an abattoir in a markot. The Senator said that he was a bit surprised that the Clinton Avenue Association had not taken earlier action in the matter.

He stated that he had kept in touch with Comptroller Grout, who had promised to grant a hearing' on the matter in the not for distant future. J. Hampden Dougherty, in behalf of the association of which he is the legal adviser, explained that the members body have long been alive to the situation, but that they delayed final action it was thought that the slaughter house wouid never receive official approbation. Dr. Raymond, of the local Board of Health, as well as Health Commissioner Lederle, were known to be opposed to it, and the natural supposition had been that the application would be officially Since it was not, the association is prepared to fight.

At this Juncture the motion was made, calling for the appointment of a committee of thirty to act on the matter. Subsequently, at the suggestion of Chairman Nichols, it was amended so as read committee of forty. Mr. Nichols said the larger number was preferable because there are many Influential persons he would like to appoint, whose names will bear great weight, even if they do not do any actual work. A meeting of the Executive Committee has been called for Tuesday evening next at which the forty names will be selected.

Committees will be appointed by the marketmen and Nineteenth Ward residents, who will later confer with the Clinton Avenue Assocation's representatives. The three bodies will work together in the matter. BUSY DAYS AT CONEY. 600 Men at Work Preparing for Next Season in Burned District. The members of the Coney Island Board Trade are going to do what they can to of secure some protection to their property from fire in the future, and they have already held a meeting and discussed plans for the erection of a pumping station on the south side of Surf avenue, in the section where the big fire cleaned things up.

It has been learned on good authority that the opening at West Twelfth and West Fitteenth streets, from Surf avenue to the ocean, will be accomplished before spring arrives, and the widening of the Bowery will also be taken up. The claim has been made by many that the latter thoroughfare is a private right of way, being owned by the property owners on either side. It is not believed, however, that this will make any difference to the property owners who, It is said, are willing to make the improvement. To the opening of West Twelfth street there will be some opposition. The extension of the street will destroy a roller coaster, owned by Stephen E.

Jackman. The opening of the other street would not cost much and would not interfere with any buildings south of the Bowery, The fremen claim if the streets were constructed, the Are engines could then reach the beach in short order, and could attack a fire from that end. Property owners say there is a good-sized water main running all over Coney Island, and 1f a pumping, station were to be built in the neighborhood of the burned district. pipes -could be laid to the ocean and snit water used. Private hose could be attached to the hydrants and could be used In case the fire engines were not on hand.

The work of building up the burned section will go on during the winter. Louts Stauch intends to build a mammoth dancing pavilion, hotel and restaurant on the old site, and the Henderson company will also erect a large place. The property oWners in the burned section south of the Bowery, will probably erect the buildings and will then rent them next season. Many of those burned out are too poor to erect their own buildings. Many valuables have been found in the ruins, among them being diamond rings and quantities of silver coins.

Stickpins and bracelets of some value, and wholly unharmed by fire, have also been picked up. The past week has been a busy junk of dealers, who have other removed large quantities piping and ware. The Long Island Railroad Company has carted away huge flatcar loads. new Wonderland Company has been razing all the buildings on its recently acquired property. The large building formerly used as a fighting club, has been torn down, and the old pier has also been razed to the floor.

The only block now left standing south of the Bowery, and from West Seventh street, 1g that bounded by Sheridan's walk and West Tenth street. Six hundred men are at work on Coney Island, and a big attempt is to be made to make a much better resort than heretofore. RAILROAD MEN DANCE.

Indiana Girl Was So Anxious for an Education That She Took Long Chances. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov.

I lay awake nights trying to devise some way of the money, and I did so, the thought of something I had ag read about a man making thousands of dollarg by raising ones to tens with white ink and acid came to me. It never occurred to me that the thing was a violation of the law, and the more I thought of it the more I became convinced that was the way to get the money."

Finally I passed one at a. grocery store, and it was then that the worry began to come, and several times I was on the point of returning the money I got in exchange for the raised bill. "Well, the next day I was arrested, and the other bills were found in my possession, and that settled it.

DRIED UP Coffee Was Drying up Her Blood. "Coffee had the peculiar effect on me of thickening the blood and lessening It in quality, in other words drying it up," says lady of Shelton, "and so long used the drug, coffee, I teryoung, rific headaches, frequently accompanied by sour stomach and a very bad breath. "My condition was serious and I knew something had to be done, so I decided to quit coffee and drink Postum. A few days after I quit drinking coffee and shifted to. Postum I felt much better and continued to improve on the Postum until I am now entirely free from headaches, and stomach trouble and steadily gaining in flesh and health and feel happy and full of rich, pure blood.

WAS TAKEN MUCH BY SURPRISE. Whole Thing Happened During Yesterday's Meeting of the Organization--Charm a Combined Masonic and Arcanum Badge. Dr. Frederic P. Tuthill, professor of chemIstry and toxicology in the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, was yesterday presented with a costly gold watch, chain and diamondstudded combined Masonic and Royal Areanum locket by the members of the Kings County Pharmaceutical Society.

The presentation took place in the lecture room of the college, at Nostrand avenue and Clifton place, in the presence of the faculty, one hundred students and scores of members of the Pharmaceutical Society. The gift was given to Dr. Tuthill as a mark of apprecia- DR. F. P.

Kleine, presided. Andrew Hegeman was Secretary. After minor business these members were elected: Otto Marx, Cypress avenue and Smith street, Evergreen, L. William P. Gregorius, Bayside, L.

Albert Fischer, 1,730 Broadway, and James J. 120 Myrtle avenue. Dr. Peter W. Ray reported a balance of $597.94 in the society's treasury, and $3,004.53 in the college treasury.

The members discussed the organizing of district societies at some length and on motion further discussion was laid over until the next meeting. The presentation of the watch to Dr. Tuthill was next in order. The professor was demonstrating the laboratory in the upper section of the building when a committee consisting of Messrs. William Muir, Adrian Paradis and William Rave, entered his domain.

Dr. Tuthill is taking the place of Prof. William C. Anderson, the Dean of the collage, who is recovering from an operation for appendicitis. Prof.

Anderson was operated on in St. John's Hospital and is entirely out of danger, his colleagues say. Dr. Tuthill was escorted to the meeting room followed by all the students in the college. Prof.

Anderson was to have made the presentation speech, but in his absence, which was regretted, Dr. Paradis was called upon. In presenting the beautiful gift, Dr. Paradis said: "You all know that when our former Secretary resigned his office at the September meeting of this society it was to step up higher, and take his place in the ranks of the faculty of our college. A committee of fifteen was appointed by the President to present to him a suitable testimonial as a mark of appreciation for his zealous and untiring efforts while he held that office.

His work as Secretary has never been surpassed or even approached, and it is entirely proper that it be recognized in a suitable manner. During the few short years of his Incumbency our membership mainly through his efforts was doubled, so to-day we stand as one of the strongest, yes, perhaps the strongest local pharmaceutical society in the country. The committee hopes that its efforts in selecting this gift will meet his approval of the choice it made and also the approbation of the members of the society. Dr. Tuthill, Shakespeare or some one says, "There is a time in the affairs of man, which, when taken at the flood leads on to fortune." I hope that the time you chose to resign as Secretary of this society in.

order to step up higher, was the right time at which this should have been done. You may rest assured that we all take such deep interest in your future that we are watching it and keeping time on your progress. May the time be not far distant when you shall reach the goal your ambition has set for you. It '8 for this reason that the committee has chosen as a testimonial a timepiece which is warranted to keep exact time to the minute. If the time seems long to you may It comfort you by showing you by its constant movement that the expected time will soon be here.

If the time is short, may it prove to you on looking at it that there is still time to get there in time." Hearty applause rang through the lecture room as Dr. Tuthill stepped forward to recelve the beautiful gift. He was deeply touched by. the kind utterances of Dr. Paradis and it was several seconds before he could find voice to express his thanks.

His remarks were very brief as his voice filled with emotion and he could scarcely find words to give expression of his thanks. The gift is of excellent workmanship. Inside the case is to Dr. Frederio P. Tuthill by the members of the Kings County Pharmaceutical Society, November 10, 1903, as a mark of appreciation." The emblems of the Masonic Order and Royal.

JOB HUNTERS SCARED WITHOUT CAUSE Alarmed by Report That Civil Service Rule May Disappoint Them. NO OCCASION FOR ALARM. Rule Forbidding Removal of Clerks Without Cause Is Old Provision of Charter Not Keep Tammany from Getting Its Dues. Tammany job hunters received something of a scare this morning, when it was stated in one of the morning papers that the amended set of rules prepared by the Municipal Civil Service Commission, governing all the places in the city service, contained a paragraph which would make it impossible for the Tammany Commissioners to get their hands on about 500 clerks and heads of bureaus in the various departments. rule which caused the scare reads as follows: No person holding a position in the competitive class or who, if in another clase, is a regular clerk or head of bureau, shall be removed from such position until the officer charged with the power of removal has stated to such person.

in writing, the reasons for his proposed action an: allowed such less than three days in which person not to make an explanation concerning the matters specified as the basis for such reasons. Under this rule the Tammany men were afraid that they would not be able to get at all the patronage that they have been counting on since election. It appears, however, from a statement made this morning by Alexander T. Mason, Chairman of the Law Committee of the Civil Service Commission, that the Tammany men need not lle awake nights endeavoring to figure out how they can beat the rule. As a matter of fact, Mr.

Mason said, the rule is now in the city Charter, and was placed in the civil service rules to avoid confusion in the future. Mr. Mason said there was nothing in the that the new rules do not change the story; existing status one particle. The words referred to are contained in Section 1,543, of the Charter, as follows: The heads of all departments and all borough presidents (except as otherwise specially provided), shall have power to appoint and remove all chiefs of bureaus (except the chamberlain), as also all clerks, officers, employees and subordinates in their respective departments, except as herein otherwise specially provided, without reference to the tenure of office of any existing appointee. But no regular clerk or head of a bureau, or person holding a position in the classified municipal civil service subject removed to competi- he tive examination, shall be until has been allowed an opportunity of making explanation; and in every case of a rean moval, the true grounds thereof shall be forthwith entered upon the records of the department or board or borough municipal president.

civil and a copy filed with the service. In case of a removal, a statement showing the reasons therefor shall be filed In the department. He referred to the case of Henry Berlinger, who was the chief clerk in the Department of Taxes and Assessments under the Tamadministration. When the new admany ministration came in, Mr. Berlinger was removed.

He sued out a writ of certiorari on the ground that he was a regular clerk, and the new officials claimed that he was in the exempt class and that therefore they could remove him. The Court held that the question was not whether he was in the exempt class, but whether he was a regular clerk within the meaning of Section 1,543. The Court decided that he was a regular clerk. Mr. Mason said that this amendment was included in the civil service rules to comply with the section of the Charter referred to, and also with the decision of the court.

Under the amended rules, if a man is in the exempt class and is not a regular clerk, he can be discharged without a hearing; but if he is a regular clerk he cannot be removed without a hearing. He said that that is the law now, and it was incorporated in the new rules to simplify matters and prevent complications. The question is not one of classificatton. It 1g one of the dutles to be performed, and wherever the question arises each case must be decided on its own merits. The report did not disturb the local Democratic leaders, who will give out the patronage under the incoming administration They say that It will have no effect and that the Tammany and McCarren officials will proceed to remove every Fusoonist that can be reached.

Deputy Commissioners, superintendents, cashiers, secretaries and other heads of departments and confidential positions, It is contended, are exempt from civil service rules. These are the places that the politicians are after, and which they will insist upon having. As a leading Democrat, who will have much to say under the new order of things, said 1 -day: "We want the places and we will have Mr. McAneny and Mayor Low can make all the amendments they please, but we will have a Civil Service Commission that do as directed. There will be will plenty of exemptions." 300 Passaic Weavers Strike.

IT COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY. Plans for the Blackwell's Island and Manhattan Towers ApprovedAerial Balconies for Favored Lovers of Scenery Features of Plans. Commissioner Lindenthal received a hard blow from the Munieipal Art Commission at a meeting held in the City Hall last evening. Incidentally Henry F. Hornbostel, the architect, who has done so much work for the Bridge Department since Mr.

Lindenthal has been Commissioner, recelved a shock to his artistic sensibilities, and saw a prospective fee of comfortable proporting vanish into thin air. At the meeting held last evening the Art considered the question of embellishments for the towers of the Williamsburgh, Manhattan and Blackwell's Island Bridges. Models of the towers of these three structures were placed on exhibition and on top of each was a pinnacle design worked out by Mr. Hornbostel, with the idea of smoothing down the angular appearance which the towers now present. For the Williamsburgh Bridge, Mr.

Hornbostel presented a creation which provided for an arch arrangement rising above the side columns of the towers, and on top. of this was a great ornamental spike which towered into the air for a distance of about one hundred and forty feet, making the total height of the towers from high water to the point of the pinnacle, something like four hundred feet. For this embellishment the city was to pay $90,000 and, same arrangements obtained in this contract as have in others, Mr. Hornbostel stood to make $4,500, or five per cent. of the cost of the work.

The Commissioners looked the model over carefully, considered the price and came to the conclusion that the Williamsburgh Bridge can get along without spikes for awhile. The design was disapproved because the Commissioners thought that it would give the bridge a too lofty appearance. This is the second or third time that Mr. Hornbostel's designs for the embellishment of these bridge towers have been turned down by the Art Commission. He may try again.

Mr. Hornbostel had better luck with h's designs for the towers of the other two bridges. For the Blackwell's Island Bridge he has prepared two embellished pinnacles, rather short in themselves, to be topped off by a flag staff, making the whole arrangement rise to a height of about fifty feet above the top of the towers. A novel feature of this plan is that a balcony is to be built about the top of each of the towers on this bridge. It will afford a fine, cool place for city officials to take their relatives and friends when there is a naval parade, because it is a place which commands an excellent bird's-eye view of the harbor and the city.

Also it will be cool. The models of the Manhattan Bridge towers show ornamental pinnacles, which will be fifty feet in height. A curious thing about this model is that it duplicates the swinging tower and the eye-bar cavies, although the Commissioner has not yet received his anpropriation for the eye-bars. The cost of the embellishments on the Manhattan and Blackwell's Island bridges will be about $4,000 apiece. The Commission also approved designs for the doors to be placed on the new building which will be erected on the site of the old Gates Avenue Court House.

The designs for the building were approved some months ago. There was some talk of making the Brooklyn Bridge towers look fancy, but no action was taken. RIVES' DECISION IMPEACHED. Roeblings Will Go to Law Against Deduction of $175,000 Penalty for Delay. From present indications It appears that the Roeblings intend to start suit against the city to recover the overtime penalty of $175,000, which Commissioner Lindenthal deducted their last requisition for work done on cables of the Williamsburgh from, Bridge.

The Bridge Department has sent the requisition to the Comptroller's office, with the recommendation that $175,000 be deducted from the final payment.
