WILL CAUSE SOME EXPLAINING Leaders Say They Will Now Hays to Make an Accounting to Workers. There were many Democrat In Brooklyn who did not realize the Eighteenth Assembly District, of which John H.

McCooey, the. county leader, is the executive member, had received so much patronage at the expense of the other districts In the county. The list of office-holders in McCooey's bailiwick, as announced in last night's. Times, caused the greatest surprise in Democratic circles, and was to-day the topic of discussion among the active workers of the party. In every Democratic clubhouse in Brooklyn the list of names was spread on the tables last night, and provoked considerable unfavorable comment for the county leader.

The roster showed the Eighteenth District has received more than its share of the plums, and, in comparing it with the patronage which their organizations had received the Democrats were amazed by the difference. Many of the workers were of the opinion the Eighteenth had received only Its allotment, but the list showed that McCooey's district had been strongly favored and the apparent discrimination caused tome bitter criticism. The fact that McCooey, in addition to giving his district a large number of places, gained political favors for his relatives, was another instance that was pointed out as taking an unfair advantage of his position. One of the South Brooklyn leaders, commenting on the effect of the publication of the list of offiice-holders, said: "Last night all the boys in my club scanned the names carefully. It never occurred to them that the Eight eenth had received so much patronage, and naturally it caused considerable unfavorable comment.

In times like these, it is better to keep such facts under cover. It angers those who axe making desperate efforts to land a place. The record undoubtedly ishows that the Eighteenth has been well taken care of in the past. I guess I will have to do some considerable explaining from now on to satisfy those who want to know why they cannot get a job." It was learned from other sources that the question of patronage given the Eighteenth District was discussed In a similar manner at many other clubhouses, and that the various Assembly district leaders will have trouble quieting those who want places. Leader- McCooey will not return to Brooklyn until next Monday.

GIRL'S FATHER AND YOUNG LOVER CLASH Screams Attract Policeman, and the Former Is in Hospital To-day. James Cowan, 44 years old, of 234 Lee avenue, objected to hift daughter's suitor, and last night attempted to emphasise the fact by ejecting the young man from the house after the couple returned from a theatre. As a result, he is an inmatelof the Wllllamsburgh Hospital, sniftering badly swollen eye, scalp wound and concussion of the brain. Andrew Hillary, 20 years old, who resides somewhere in the vicinity of Nos-trand and Gates avenues, Is the young man whom Cowan did not look upon wltli favor. However, Jliss May Cowan, the daughter, went to One of the local play houses with him, return- ng shortly before midnight.

Screams attracted Policeman Riley, of the Clymer Street Station. When he arrived Cowan was being assisted by Mrs. Cowan and daughter. Ke was bleeding profusely. Hillary had disappeared.

Police Commissioner Cropsey is planning to abolish two precincts in Brooklyn in order to secure a stronger personal grip on the uniformed force and to increase efficiency In the department at a lower cost to the city. The two local precincts which are to be wiped off the map are the 148th and the 168th, with station houses on Amity street and on Vernqn avenue, respectively.

The elimination of these two districts will be the beginning of a gradual alteration of boundary lines throughout the entire city, which is to be laid out anew in an attempt to minimize the danger of political in terference in police work. The changes may not occur for a few months, but each has been settled definitely. Thestaffs of both stations will be scattered and the terriory divided among neighboring precincts. The 148th bailiwick, of which Bernard Gal lagher is captain, is to be so split up that the Adams Street Station will con trol the Heights slice; the boundary of the Butler Street Precinct will be ex tended from Henry to Hicks street, while the northern end will be thrown into the Fulton Street Precinct, and the southern strip placed In charge of the Rapelyea Street Station. The bulk of the district would hus go into the lower Fulton Street Precinct.

The Vernon Avenue Precinot will be divided among the Classon avenue, the Gates avenue and perhaps the Cly-mer street stations. The abolition of the Bedford Avenue Police Court paved the way for the elimination of this precinct. Arrests are comparatively few there. In the blotting out of these two precincts Commissioner Cropsey will cause consternation In the Democratic oganlzatlons of two Assembly districts, and the politicians of Jefferson Hall may see In the move an overt attack on the county machine. Both baili wicks have been long regarded as the pocket precincts of former Election Commissioner James leader of the Third District, and Water Register "William McQuire of the district, re spectlvely.

The defeat of the latter by Leader Dorman is ascribed to tne desertion of the police, while the con tinued supremacy of the former over former Sewer Superintendent James Dunno is ascribed to the oontipued subserviency of the same electoral elo-ment. The erstwhile Elections Commissioner is now sulking over the inability of the county organisation to find him a place after Mayor Geynor heaved him out of the Board, and the news of this additional Indignity will not at all serve to strengthen the weakening grip of Leader McCooey on the borough machine. The buildings abandoned can be used for the traffic squad In Brooklyn, which Is already seeking additional quarters; for the Bureau of Weights and Measures; for the Fire Department, or any of a dozen othep necessary public uses. Old Brooklynltes will recall In the passing of the Amity street station the days of the Smoky Hollow Gang, thirty years ago. In that decade, the young of the water front made the district a place of terror after sundown.

Then came one evening a young patrolman, Japes Stone, who waded through the gang with fist and club, driving them temporarily out of business and rendering bis beat at least safe for travel while he was covering it. Patrolman Stone failed to appear at the relieving point "one morning early, and the man wtho followed him on post picked up a uniformed corpse on the corner of Paclflo and Columbia streets, the head smashed" "tnwiy a rock. Indignation mounted high in press and pulpit when that news was printed, and a mass meeting of Brooklyn biggest men, in the old Academy of Music, called for the extermination of the thugs who committed the murder. Mayor Seth Low responded by creating the Amity street station, controlling what was then designated as the Fifteenth Precinct. Even now, old-timers on the force will tell of the terrible revenge that was wreaked for that murdr In the end fUt gang was wiped out.

For a number of years Mr. Marquardt has made It a practise to send to the officers and all the employees in the bank Easter greetings, and, Incidentally lilies. A wagon loaded With lilies for every one, from President Seymour down, arrived at the bank just before noon. The men soon had the flowers unwrappedwand placed on their desks. When the depositors walked Into the place triey imagined they were in ft florist's or a hothouse.

Even the bank messengers were not forgotten by the donor of the When the bank was closed at noon every man carefully bundled his potted plant and took It home, prizing It more than money. There were thirty-two plants In all. The officers received especially large ones, but every one was handsome, even those of the messengers. "CAUGHT IN THE RAIN.
