The Antl-l'ubtlo Improvement Association of th Ward had a regular huld day the yeeterday when lta apokeamen appeared before th Bedford IxcmI Ira proTciuent Hoard. Thar wa no on preeent to opos their views, and they de livered tbemaolvea of Hi ueoal orations, They war at vehement aa though th Aldermen, before whom they were speaking, really hnd some official Jurisdiction In th matter. They, could not bar wen more eloquent bad the three City Father actual vote Ulion the subject at tasu.

But th Brooklyn Time would remind these gentlemen that the men before whom they spoke yesterday form local Improvement Board. That body I not a general Improvement Board. It ha ju risdiction over only am Improvements as are paid foe In whole or in part by Its own pnrttcubir district. The Bedford avenue extension Is a gen eral Improvement, to lie paid for by the entire city, by the Bronx and Itlchmond Boroughs as well as by Manhattan, Qneena and Brooklyn. Strange as It may seem, the Vililamiurgh Bridge was not built for the Nineteenth Ward alone.

It wae built for the city. Bedford avenue ks to extended also for the city. The Aldermanlc Board was undoubtedly duly flattered by the appeal that waa made yesterday to It. But the time was wasted. The Times would suggest that another field day for anti-lrnprovemcnt orators might be found.

Why not aend a delega tion to the June outing of the Congress Club? Probably a few of the boys would stop playing ball long enough to listen, and those who did littten could be persuaded to pass resolutions similar to those of the local Board, and they would bate about aa much weight with the Board of Estimate. FRENCH NETJTBAX1TT. A despatch which the New York Sun prints to-day from a special correspondent In the Far East throws an Interesting light on the quality of French neutrality In the' Russo-Japanese war, and may lead to Important results. In a despatch from Hongkong, dated yesterday, the correspon7 dent atates that be went to Kamranh Bay, and found the Baltic fleet there, after the French authorities hnd declared that they had left He attempted to telegraph from Kamranh Boy, and later from Saigon, but fhe French officials censored those of his despatches which they permitted to pass and refused to accept others describing the position of trie Russian fleet. If France were an open ally of Russia, this action would be quite permissible, and the French officials would be Justified not only in affording sanctuary to the Russians, but also in suppressing all informa tion in regard to their whereabouts.

But France claims to.be neutral, and has made repeated and positive asservatlons of her neutrality. Were It otherwise, Japan could claim the assistance of Greet Britain, and the result of the coming naval battle In the East would be naJonger in doubt. But the understanding between France and Russia is showing itself not In an open espousal of the Russian cause by France, but In the straining of neutral obligations so as to render every possible assistance to the Russians, without an open declaration of hostility to Japan. It Is a game that cannot be played much longer. France will be compelled to show her hand, and either to refrain from render ing material aid to the Russians or to come out into the open as the Czar's STRENGTH 07 RIVAL FLEETS.

It Is now possible, owing to the current reports that Rojestvensky has united hie fleet with the long-looked-for third squadron under Admiral Nabogatoff, to make something like an accurate comparison of the relative strength of the rlral fleets which are soon to battle for the master ship of the sea In the great Eastern struggle. By the uniting of the three Russian squadrons, under Rojestvensky'i command, the Admiral will have eight battleships, with a weight of broadside fire of some 28,000 pounds; thre armored cruisers, all of somewhat ancient con struction, with a broadside firing capacity of 2,000 pounds; six protected cruisers, some of them modern and swift vessels, and with weight of broadside fire of 2,500 pounds. These vessels, with three aimost utterly useless coast defense vessels, maJo up the entire fighting strength of the Rus. sians, and afford a total broadside fire of about 34,000 pounds, which should be effective if well and skillfully directed. Opposed to this force.

Admiral Togo has only four battleships, but they are of recent build and seasoned up to the hour by severe testing In battle. In addition, his fleet of fine armored cruisers number eight, speedy, effective vessels all of them, whose guns are not of so large a calibre as those possessed by the Russian battleships, and, in consequence, will not prove so effective at long-range fighting. The total weight of broadside fire of these vessels Is 20,000 pounds. With the addition of fourteen protected cruisers, also included In Togo's fleet, this weight of broadside metal Is augmented by 10,000 pounds, making a-grand total of 30,000 pounds. It will be seen, then, that In the matter of powerful battleship and weight of heavy gun fire.

Rojestvensky's fleet Is brought down, therefore, to a consideration of training of gunners and speed. If Rojestvensky has skill as a naval man and possesses good Judgment he has undoubtedly made the best use of the six months or so since he ha been In command of the fleet, end drilled his men sufficiently to make them formidable in bsttle. In that case, his fleet will give a good account of Itself when It meets the enemy. If the men have simply been permitted to carouse and enjoy a sort of pic nic flm the vessels were commissioned, why, they will prove the easiest kind of prey to th well-drilled, capable and plucky Japanese, Togo knows thor Aahleyw Shaw, MU Kllllan ldat daughter of D.

The JIayar gars hearing niran AMembly Bill No. 1013. It la bill making It permlwlre for the city to trani-far to the Brooklyn Tublic Library Corporation the triangular site at Eastern Tarkway and Flatbush avenue. The cite would be uaed for the erection of a central library. Brooklyn fai rapidly getting an admirable ayatem of branch libraries.

A eentral bonding la Imperatively needed. The bill before the Mayor would make It poaaible to famish a alts at once. The till la not mandatory. It Is merely It places the right to transfer the site' tn the bands of a Board composed of the Mayor, the Borough President and the Park Commissioner. The cite Is an admirable one.

It Is as centrally located as can be found within tie borough. The building upon It would hare light and air ipon every tide. Such another site not be bought by the city for less than $500,000, (ir possibly 1700,000. If this site is secured, a central library will be developed within one or two yearn. If this site Is lost, a central library will be postponed Indefinitely, for tie city will not toon furnish money both for building and site.

Unless the Mayor accepts the bill this site will be lost to the opposition to the transfer of this site is. twofold. It. comes from the Heights section of Brooklyn, which would locate the Central Library at or near Its part of the city. It also comes from the Brook-bnt Institute, as manifested throueh the activity of its director.

Franklin W. Hooper, Prof, Hooper believes that the East Side lands should be reserved solely for the Institute. He would place the Central Library In the neighborhood of the Institute, but not on the East Bide lands. That the opposition to the proposed site to confined to these two elements can be seen from the vote upon it at the April meeting of the Library Directors. The vote stood 12 to 7.

One of the opposition afterwards voted to make the confitaation of the site report unanimous. This left ill in the opposition. One of these six waj Harrington Putnam, who, while being a library director, is also an Institute director. He may have reflected the Institute opposition, as voiced by Prof. Hooper.

Of the remaining five gentlemen all are from the Heights section, and all, with one exception, were directors of the old Montague Street Library, and came into the Publio Library through the trick bill which Henry Sanger Snow fathered during the Low administration. These five opponents were Frank Lyman, William Augustus White, Theodore L. Frothinghara, George 0- Brackett and James L. Morgan. These men come from but one section of Brooklyn.

Those who formed the twelve that voted for the site are" from widely scattered parts of the borough, from' South Brooklyn, from Flatbush, from the Park Slope and from the Eastern District. It was the self-perpetuating element in the Board which furnished the opposition to the elfe. It was the public element in the Boarfl which endorsed It. The opposition to the site is plainly a local one. It la to be regretted that every district In Brooklyn cannot have a central library, bat unless one Is erected on wheels this is impossible.

The Times would think that the Heights would be satisfied in the possession of the largest of the branch libraries and would not also demand the central bnlldMir cate It would place it in an out-of-the-way corner of Brooklyn. WASHIHGTOH, IS SAFE. A decision of far-reaching Importance was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington yesterday. It was upon a point of law raised by coun set for John A. Benson, for whose removal from New York to the District of Colum bia for trial in the land fraud cases an order wae recently granted.

Mr. Benson's counsel took the ground that the order was void because there la no District of Colum bia, denying the right of the State of Maryland to cede any portion of Its terri tory to the Federal Government Fortn nately for the peace of the country, the Justices of the Supreme Court unanimous ly took the contrary view.

In response to an invitation from Superintendent of PuMlo Instruction William II. Maxwell, for criticism of th curriculum of th elementary publio school, the Principals' Club of Manhattan hn voiced Its opinion on the coune of study which ha been so roundly and deservedly attacked for It Inefficiency. The report of the club, which seems to support the present educational policy, 1 rather curiously worded, In an apparently pretentious endeavor to ratify Mr.

Maxwell. After referlrng to the complaint that grad uate from the school cannot spell, cipher, read and write respectably, and compar ing the old three system with the present, the report leads up to the momentous conclusion: "We believe that the three R's are essentials, but that if taught alone they make a most Impracticable system of Instruction, utterly Inadequate to the requirement of the life the child Is, to enter." This weighty deliverance I backed up six wise reasons, set forth with cumula tive force, the last being expressed In the following somewhat lofty fashion: "That fads and frills give content to the course of study, give opportunity for the natural development of children's minds, supply in outline what Is really the best and most truly useful allow for ethical and emotional training, and In certain branches care for the health and physical well-being of the child." This reads well, even if It does not mean much, and It Is plain that the Principals' Club has either unwittingly passed over the real issue or has adroitly evaded it, in order to conserve their own- interests, by seeking to keep on the right side of Mr. Maxwell. There has been no contention that the old three system in an exclusive form Is adequate for the present day, and the members of the Principals' Club should be well aware of this. The protest' that is finding voice in different quarters does not seek to restore old-fashioned meth ods to the exclusion of a proper regard for advancing educational facilities.

Those who know enough of the present system to "kick" at its outrageous Inefficiency are not averse to having added to the old reading, writing and arithmetic system anything that will enlarge Its scope of usefulness, and make the course of study to day as valuable as possible. But there Is a difference between doing this and evolv lng upon unpractical and visionary the ories a curriculum that is burdened with non-essentials, and which leaves no oppor tunity to emphasize the fundamental value of spelling, ciphering, reading and writing. Teachers cannot speak out, for obvious reasons, but it i- easy to find many of them to ay in irate that so far from giving them a to teach anything thoroughly, In following the present course of study, they are scarcely able to teach anything at They can do little more than bear the recital of lessons pre pared at home, In the preparation of which parents are bored to death, through being expected to do for their children what the teachers are paid to da The teachers are not to blame when they are held to a regu. tatlon method of which gives no sway to personal discretion on the part of the teacher, and which remorse lessly Ignores the childish capacity for absorption. Any number of teachers will testify to this state of affaire, but they cannot do so openly.

Unfortunately for the of the Prin cipals' Club report, its conclusion is quite Inconclusive, so far as as touching the vital point at Issue. One reason for this may be that the members of the club dc not have to teach and have had no prao tlcel experience with the Irrational Impossibilities of the present course of study.

However, if th Itumlana are cap able of utlllilng to the full th strength of th big vessel of their ftVet, they will be aectdedly formklabl force to contend with, and Togo will hav Ms work cut out for him. Another question which arise Is that of torpedo-boat and destroyer strength.

In this the Japanese axe claimed to be greatly the superior of the Russian, and thi superiority wilt be a valuable factor In the coming atruggl. as th Japanese hav hown themselves to be wonderfully daring, skillful and plucky In the use of these little hornet of the sea.

With Ms whip he lashed at those who sought to pursue him on foot One of the companions of the Injured lad noted th name on the wagon and the number. By this mean th driver was arrested almost Immediately upon tits 'ar rival at his brewery. The driving through our streets of brew. ery trucks is one of the gravest of hlgh wey dangers.

The drivers ar reckless. The truck are always very heavy, even when not loaded. While there are times when the wagons are empty, there are few occasions when the driver are in the same condition. They are, as a class, constant beer drinkers. Usually they are In a half-maudlln condition.

Nearly always Indifferent to other vehicles, they drive about with an unvarying recklessness. They are in frequent mishaps. This man, who brutally drove off after killing this boy, deserves the severest of punishments. THE HOOKER. VERDICT.

Section 11, Article VI. of the Constitu tion of the State of New York providea a follows: Judges of the Court of Appeals and Jus tices of the Supreme Court may be removed by concurrent resolution of both Houses of the Legislature, If two-thirds of the members elected to each House concur therein. But no officer shall be removed by virtue of this section except for cause, whidh shall be entered on the journals, nor unless he shall have been served with a statement of the cause alleged, and shall have had an opportunity to be heard. Un the question of removal, the yeaa ana nays shall be entered in the journal. This section leaves no room for doubt as to the authority of the Legislature, by a two-thirds vote of both Houses, to remove from office Justice Wnrren B.

Hookr or any other Justice of the Supreme Court who may have misused hte office, but, unfortunately, it does not specify for what offenses such Justices are liable to Impeachment It would seem that the misdeeds for which a Justice or other Magistrate would lay himself liable to Impeachment and removal should hnv some relation to big official acts, as is the rule in regard to other officials. The members of the Judiciary Committee of the Assembly do not, however, take this restricted view of the powers of the Legislature. By a unanimous vote they have found Justice Hooker guilty of Unmoral acts in several counts. In recommending men for Post Office appointments In minor capacities, where such appointments were unnecessary, and recommending their removal from office. The Brooklyn Times ha no desire to en ter the lists in defense of Justice Hooker.

On the contrary, it believes that he has shown himself to be considerably more of a success aa a politician than as a Justice, and that he should voluntarily relinquish his place on the bench. But no complaint of official misconduct has been ''made against him; It has not been alleged that In any instance he was guilty of such misconduct In bis judicial position, as waa charged against Justice D. Cady Herrick before and during the last 8tate campaign. The chief point of his offending appears to be that on his recommendation various persons were placed upon the Post Office pay-rolls who were paid for service that they did not perform: their office being. In fact sinecures.

But It has not been shown that Justice Hooker knew that these men, appointed on hi recommendation, were drawing wages without returning any equivalent of work, and that Is the main point If every politician who recommended a man for appointment were to be discharged from office because the man were appointed to a sinecure, how many would be retained in office?
