MIN1COLA, Aug. nn ord'T to show cause why a permanent Injunction should not lie Issued rem ruining the Long Island Motor Parkway, Hiccir-iportcd, from erecting nn overtrade crossing over the Jorlclio Turnpike, was served upon A.

R. Pardinglon, Second Vice President and general manager ot the Parkway, Saturday, it Is probable that the proceedings will be discontinued and an amicable agreement reached between the management ot one Parkway and the Nassau County Board of Supervisors, on whose petition the order was granted by the Supreme Court. Before the order was served a special meeting of the Supervisors was culled for Saturday morning at which the question was discussed. There were present the three Supervisors. General Manager Pardington with counsel for the Supervisors.

Mr. Pardington gave a clear and concise statement of the position of the Motor Parkway. He referred to the fact that there was no desire on the part of the management of the Parkway to ig-noro the Supervisors, but that the consents for the crossings of the various highways In the town of North Hempstead had been obtained from the Commissioners of Hlg-hways of that town on the advice of counsel, which was sustained by an opinion of tho State Highway Department and also the Attorney General of the State, all ot whom agreed that the right to grant such consents under the present Highway law was vested In the Commissioners of highways. He added that lie did not believe the Injunction proceedings against the Motor Parkway was a fair means of bringing the question of authority over the highway in question to an issue as between the county and the town authorities, as it would prevent the prosecution of the work for probably a year, and Incidentally-, make the holding of the Vonderbllt Cup race this year out of the question. Counselor Gasser sustained Mr.

Pardington, and also said that he did not propose that the Motor Parkway should be made the butt to settle a dispute between county and town authorities; that he proposed to bring Into the case the State Highway Department, and the State Attorney General. Mr. Gasser admitted, however, that continuing the injunction proceedings would delay the building of the Parkway. Supervisor Cox and Supervisors Painter and Christ all Insisted that the Board had absolute control over the county roads, and would not consent to the erection of an overgrade crossing on the Jericho Turnpike. Mr.

Pardington stiKRested that the Motor Parkway is willing, In order to continue its work, to make application to the Supervisors as well as to the town authorities, and he would consult with the Board of Directors as to changing tho crossing at Jericho Turnpike from an overgrade to an undergrade crossing, all provided the Injunction proceedings were dropped. After some discussion It was agreed to lay the matter over until to-morrow, when It Is expected the Motor Parkway will file apllnatlon for consent to cross Jericho Turnpike at undergrade. JAMAICA. Aus- 2. Coroner Xiitl today commenced an investigation Into On-clicnnistaiH'Ps snrroundiut the death ot Frederick Nagel.

the youitg man who was drnwiii-il while bathing nt Kockawtiy llmieh yesterday afternoon, and whose brother. Nagol, was almost drowned In an effort to save him. The drowned man, whose body had not been recovered up to a lute hour this morning, was 24 years old. His brother John is 36. Both lived at 1117 Moffatt street, Brooklyn.

The brothers, who have always been Inseparable companions and unusually affectionate, were driven by the heat of the city yesterday afternoon to go to Rocka-way Beach, where, after donning bathing stilts, they were soon disporting themselves in the cool waters of Jamaica Bay, at the foot of Dover avenue. Frederick had been rather overheated when he entered the water, It Is said, and his too quick cooling by the water Is believed to have caused him to bo stricken with cramps. Suddenly he for help and dlsapteared. I John Nugel was paddling about a short distance away. He heard his brother's cry for help, and with strong strokes lie hurried to the aid of the drowning man.

Ho reached him just as the youth started to sink for the last time. John 6elzed his brother and tried to tow him ashore, but the drowning man. beside himself with terror, grasped his brother about the neck and pulled him under the water. John struggled to break his brother's death grip, and at the same time to draw the younger man Into shallow water. In a few moments the rescuer was Jilmself In Imminent danger of drowning.

Meanwhile other bathers had seen the struggles of the two men and realized their danger. John Gelfen. of 562 Hart street, Brooklyn, was the first to reach the brothers Just as both were sinking. He grasped John and brought him safely to land, but Frederick's body had gone down, and the strong tide is believed to have immediately carried it away, for although several men. including the surv-ing brother, dived for it until they were exhausted, they were unable to And U.

The dead man was attired in a bathing suit, consisting of blue trunks and a white sweater, with blue stripes. The Harbor police have been notified, and to-dcy they have beer, grappling for the body. At almost the came hour that John Engel was trying so hard to save his brother from drowning. Paul Bonamy, 24 years old, of 622 Boulevard, Rockaway Beach, was rescued from death In the surf at the foot of Division avenue, not far from his homo, where he was disporting himself amid the waves. The surf was running high at the time, but Bonamy, being a good swimmer, thought nothing- of It.

and swam out beyond the life lines. When he tried to return to shore he became exhausted and sank. Paul Schwartz, of 710 SIth street, Manhattan, one of the life-savers on guard at the beach, had been watching Bonamy, and as soon as he saw him sink he sprang Into the water and swam out to the drowning man. Schwartz brought Bonamy ashore, but the latter was unconscious, and It was some time before ho could be brought back to his senses. Meanwhile an ambulance had been summoned from St.

Joseph's Hospital. Far Hockaway. and Bonamy was removed to that Institution, suffering from the re-suiti of ltnmerslor. He will recover, thanks to the efforts of Life-savor Schwartz. said one wunun, ii'cakms me uinual picnic of the School of lnlty P.

This order signalized the fact that the tube and its extension into the yards, which reaches almost to the Quoons County Court House, had been completed. It Is the first tube to be finished, end to end, and It would now be possible for a person to walk from the Queens County Court House right Into Jersey City, dry shod and without interference. All the appliances and men who have been working up to the latter part of last week on Tube have been put to work on the other three tubes to hurry them along.

There are but small gaps to be filled In on the other tubes, and then they will bo finished. With the increased force of men added from the section already done, the work will be greatly facilitated. A new feeling; Is 'leginning to take hold of the men connected with railroad affairs in Long Island City. It Is the feeling of the man who begins to see daylight ahead after he has been working for a long time at something pretty hard and difficult. The end of i the great work of tunneling the river and giving Long Islanders direct transit into Manhattan and Jersey is in sight.

Up In the Long Island Railroad offices they are beginning to figure on train schedules. At Front street, near the ferries, the underground connections between the tunnels and the giant power-house are being completed. Out in the yards, from the ends of the tunnels, long lines of tracks are being stretched away. Engineers are at work surveying In the yards for the location of the new station in the vicinity of Thomson avenue. Everybody says trains will be running through the tubes by January '1 next.
