CLARK STREET TUNNEL OPENS NEXT Two Trains Start Simultaneously at Midnight. The Public Service Commission has tentatively arranged for opening the new Clark street tunnel line at one minute after midnight next Tues. day morning. At that hour the first train from the West Side subway will leave Wall street for Brooklyn, and about the same time a train will leave Atlantic avenue bound for Manhattan. thus instituting the service in the new downtown rapid transit tunnel.

Officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Public Service Commission will ride on the Arst train, but the beginning of, the new river service will not be signalunder by formal exercises. The Clark Street tunnel line is an Important addition to the rapid transit facilities of Manhattan Brooklyn. It will obviate the necessity of transand, fer via the Forty-second Street shuttle for Interborough passengers bound to and from Brooklyn, or the necessity of over-street transfer such as has prevailed for several months at Wall and Rector streets. It is also expected to prove a further boon to Brooklyn traffic, in that it will make possible almost twice as much Interborough subway service as can be now proyided between Manhattan and Brooklyn, on account of the physical limitations of the two tracks of the old or Joralemon Street subway tunnel, which are now loaded to capacity in rush hours. One extremely important change in traveling conditions becomes effective by reason of the Clark street operation: that is, in the rush hours trains of the East Side subway in Manhattan will not stop at Hoyt street.

By means of a track crossover arrangement at Borough Hall, in hours when traffic is not nearly as heavy as in the rush hours, it will be possible for the Interborough to put all trains, whether from the East Side or West Side subway, onto the outside track at Borough Hall, so that all trains may stop in the no rush periods at Hoyt street as well as Nevins street. The latter becomes an express where trains of both lines will stop at all hours of the day and night. Another change is that at Atlantic avenue, the two centre tracks will run into a centre island platform reached by an underground passageway and served only by East Side trains. The outside tracks, at Atlantic avenue, will be used by West Side subway trains. Changes have been made in the Long Island Railroad station to make the changes and transfers at that point more available and easy of access.

Changing From East to West. In addition to the above changes, it should also be noted that the West. Side subway trains will not run into the old Borough Hall station, but into a new two-level Borough Hall station in Fulton street, just east of Borough Hall, which is connected by a passageway with the old Borough Hall platform, so that passengers, if they desire, can Interchange between the two stations at that point. It will thus be possible to change from East Side to West Side subway trains at three Brooklyn points in rush hours, namely: by way of the Borough Hall stations, at Nevins street, and at the terminus at Atlantic avenue. One new station will be opened Brooklyn by Clark street operation, namely, the new Brooklyn Heights station, located at Clark and Henry streets, 'through which, however, trains of the West Side subway will pass.

The Public Service Commission has directed that the Interborough Rapid Transit Company shall publicity campaign to familiarize Interborough passengers with the new. facilities, and is also using such resources as are at its command for the same purpose. The Interborough Company has had printed several hundred thousand circulars showing a map of the subway lines and of the Brooklyn conections, together with explanatory texts, which will be distributed on trains, from stations, etc. It has also arranged to place in its stations a map showing the new -West. Side connections.

The Commission has directed that large signs shall be prepared and placed at several points, notably at the new entrance to the new platforms at Borough Hall and at the Atlantic avenue terminus. New Borough Hall Entrances. These new entrances at Borough Hall are on the southern side of the plaza formed by the junction of Court and Fulton streets and at the southeast corner of Myrtle avenue and Fulton street. Large signs will be placed adjacent to these entrances, in order that they may be most readily located by the passengers who desire to use them. An underground mezzanine extends across Fulton and Court streets from Myrtle avenue to Montague street, and eventually when the construction of the Court street station of the Montague street tunnel line (B.

R. 1s completed, interchange of traffic will be possible between the two stations by the mezcanine. This will not take place for several months. Passengers, who enter the new Hall station platforms from the entrance at the corner of Myrtle a avenue or from that in the plaza, will enter at the western end of the uppermost or westbound platform, If they desire to go eastboand from the westbound platform at this point, a stairway leads down to the eastbound platform for passengers going toward Atlantic avenue. The two-level station was necessary at this point because the eastbound tracks must cross underneath the old Brooklyn subway tracks.

The passageway connecting the old and new Borough Hall platforms extends from the easterly end of the upper platform through to the westbound platform. From that point by use of the mezzanines, passengers may reach the eastbound platforms. Thousands of passengers who live in Brooklyn daily use B. R. T.

surface cars to reach the Interborough subway, boarding trains at the Atlantic avenue terminus and using very generally the new entrances which have been recently constructed on Flatbush avenue, at the corner of, and south of, Atlantic avenue, Signs will be ploced over these entrances to indicate which onces should be used by passengers desiring to reach the East Side subWAY. Manhattan. At the offices of the Commission it was pointed out today that representatives of the Interborough believe passengers will.find that the centre platform for East Side subway trains at Atlantic avenue may be most readily reached by using the entrance on the south side of Atlantic Avenue, as this will cause less confusion of traffic. This entrance leads down to the ticket office level, from which point a long passageway leads la p. -to the centre platform.

Passengers desiring to use the West Side trains, which will load on the familiar East Side platform adpacent to the THURSDAY THE BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES APRIL 10, 1919 YOUNG T. R. TALKS ON AMERICANS Tells Kindergarten Society Experiences Abroad. Lieut. Col.

Theodore Roosevelt and the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, pastor of Clinton Avenue Congregational Church, were speakers at the "Americanization Meeting" of the Free Kindergarten Society in the Academy last night. The opera house was well forced de to stand. crowded. Some late comers were Rev.

"Among its members were a sergeant born and educated in Germany, an Italians Irishman, from a Southern Virginian, Italy, a a Russian, Polack, Jew and a French-Canadian. Now all these were straight Americans. The men who returned will be afmen fected in various ways. In the first place they will be broadened and will view life from a more educated standpoint. They have "mixed" and mutually rubbed off corners.

But we have got to get them adjusted, however, for they have the vices of their virtues- -they will be a bit averse to getting settled down. You must bear with them and help them. It's those men, who ten years from now will make up the influential body of the Nation, and the way they have their minds turned now will condition the lite of the country ten years hence.

In concluding his address he launched a drive that netted $4,000.

"I attended a meeting a short while ago," said Dr. Boynton, "at which every foreign language newspaper, except the German, was represented. At that meeting the rising shevism was condemned as thoroughly and as heartily as any group of Amerhave condemned it. Their pledge allegiance to the flag was pathetic in its intensity. "We are living whose ideals are being shared country, the members of thirty-five races, and I felt that my race will never be sufficiently populous again to dominate, and that if I wanted to perpetuate the American spirit of my race I could do no better than to instill it in those who will become as good Americans within twenty-five years.

"The home influence is the actuating one of American life. Through kindergartens we 'educate the little tots of three and four not so much for what goes in them as for what goes through them, to homes where there is little or no Americanism. Four hundred foreigners were naturalized recently, many of whom were old dents and most of them had been led to the naturalization offices by their children. "There are 100,000 children in this city between the ages of three and and of these only 25,000 are in kindergartens or schools of any kind. They are not reached in those years when their little minds are most easily impressed." Among those who took $100 life berships at the meeting were; The Apollo Club, Mrs.

Four hundred residents of Sheepshead Bay, among whom were many prominent in the patriotic 'and civic affairs of the locality, thronged the Union Clubhouse on East Sixteenth street last night in defense of J.

Driscoll Tucker. The meeting was un open denunciation of the attitude of the Sheepshead Board of Trade, which addressed letter to. Mr. Tucker, requesting a public apology or his resignation for the resolution he introduced a year or so ago, which, it was claimed, was party instrumental in starting investigation of Frank Walthers, financial secretary of the Sheepshead Bay Board, for alleged utterances. Tucker indignantly refused to apologize for his 100 per cent.

Americanism, and issued a call for the patriotic mass meeting to properly thresh the whole matter out. The scene last night was one that won't be forgotten soon in the section. Tucker's. neighbors and followers came headed by a band. There hardly breathing space in the small clubroom, but the crowd waited anxiously for the popular principal appear, At last he came amid cheers.

He made a short speech explaining the nature of the meeting and the position taken by his assailants. "I never started anything in this town in which I didn't have the citizens with me. Only Americans are wanted here and if there are any proGermans they had better get out before they are thrown out. Mr. Tucker told briefly of his activities, with the American Protective League and of his being informed on several occasions of his making enemies among certain residents who did not take kindly to his searching methods to root out the enemy sympathizers.

He told of being accused of violating the oath of that office by divulging the names of those he was ferreting out and which he emphatically denied adding that he did not know that several reputable neighbors were members of the same league and working on the same cases and he has no knowledge of. it until after the signing of the armistice. Frank Walthers was called to explain what he knew of the whole matter and issued the following statement: "Tucker. did a great deal of talking Renne told me that charges had been made against me at the Department of Justice. I said that a crazy man have made them and that I would no attention to them.

I called on District Attorney France and he informed me that I would have to go to the offices of the Department of Justice in Manas he knew nothing of the matter. This I did and informed that he had no such case on record. Mr. Tucker's charges are nothing but malicious mischief. I am an American born citizen and as good an ican as any one in this section." Arthur W.

Dennen, president of the Board of Trade, reviewed the case at some length. He launched into a defense of Walthers and assailed the "100" per cent. resolution offered by Mr. Tucker at the meeting a year ago as having contained one obnoxious paragraph reading "and are any other members of organithither zation who are not 100 per cent. American let it be the action of this body to compel them to resign." Mr.

Dennen. explained the board resented this phraseology because they deemed it an insult and a reflection on the patriotism of members. William S. Picard said: "I consider this meeting a proper testimonial to Driscoll Tucker. While the boys were fighting over there Tucker Was fighting the Hun over here who was willing to stick our boys in the back.

Tucker was too intense an American for the Board of Trade, and they proposed to humiliate him because he proved himself Testimonial letters from a scare of prominent business people and others were introduced, lauding the character and patriotic spirit of Tucker, and were acceptedoas part of the record of the meeting. A resolution was finally introduced and adopted, calling on the Board of Trade to repeal the offensive and insulting resolution it had passed. A. committee of ten was appointed to present the resolution to the Board of Trade at its next meeting and to demand a retraction of the request for the resignation of Fucker.

Observers seeking to 'Interpret the "Big decision the former Kaiser should be "brought under Allied control," professed to see in this his trial by a special international tribunal, and possible banishment from Europe. The only definite thing regarding Wilhelm, however, appeared to be that he is not in danger of capital punishment. In regard to reparation, the decision that Germany must pay an initial installment of $5,000,000,000 two years, with an undetermined balance to be fixed by a permanent financial commission was regarded as a compromise that would satisfy all the Associated Powers.

JUDGE ROY IS DEAD; NEVER SAT TON BENCH Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Roy, who was one of the most prominent lawyers of Brooklyn before his accession to the bench, was born on East Manhattan, but since early Twenty third sotteel, childhood, a perjod of more than forty years. His father was a carpenter, and Robert was the youngest of seven children.

Up to the time of his marriage, at the age of 22, he lived in a modest frame house on Stockton street, in the Bushwick section. 1 His late 1 residence was at 659 Jefferson avenue, where he had resided for some years with his wife and two daughters and a son. The Judge attended Public School No. 26, graduated at the age of 12, and went to. work immediately.

He started to learn wood carving in a large furniture factory in Manhattan, but gave this up to take up a branch of the book-binding trade. He learned this work thoroughly and when he earned enough money to pay tuition fees in a law school, entered a law office, attending New York University Law School in the evenings. He was graduated with honors, receiving a degree of cum laude, although he attended the school only one year. In 1894, at the age of twenty, he passed examinations, and had to wait six months until he was 21 before he could be sworn in for practise. Seven years after this he was appointed Assistant United States District Attorney under John F.

Clarke. Here he made a brilliant record, but his resigned four years to resume private practise. During this time he was a member of the Board of Education. When John F. Clarke was elected District Attorney, Mr.

Roy was offered a position as his assistant, which he accepted and held with credit and distinction. He earned a fine reputation as a prosecuting attorney for his ability and fairness. He resigned from the District ney's office to take up private again. He was head of the famous old law firm of Roy, Watson Naumer. The last named.

was a City Magistrate at the time of his death last year. Justice Roy began his political career by running for the Assembly in the Stuyvesant district where the Republican majority was overwhelming. He cut down an adverse, plurality of several thousand votes (to thirty-five. That established his reputation as a vote getter. 'In 1912, Mr.

Roy ran against William M. Calder for Congress, being candidate the Sixth Congressional District. was defeated by in. Senator Calder, as the district was strongly Republican, and had always given that party a plurality of at least 12,000. In that same year, Mr.

Roy was ap- pointed a County Court Judge by Governor Glynn. Mayor Hylan was appointed at the same time. A contention was made that the appointments were illegal, but this view was not taken by Supreme Court Justice Renedict, who, was overruled by the Appellate Division on appeal. The Court of Appeals overruled the second decision in turn and held that Judge Roy could keep his seat on the bench. He was elected County Judge two years later.

The effort to unseat Judge Roy from the County Court bench was made by the Kings County Republican organization, and was fought by the Democrats. The Republicans contended that Roy and Hylan had been appointed by Governor Glynn in 1912, and that their terms expired 1914, before the new elections. The Democrats maintained that the Governor could fill vacancies until elections were held. Last year Judge Roy ran for Supreme Court. Norman J.

S. Dike opposed him. Mr. Roy won in the election on No-' vember 5 last by a sweeping majority, running extremely well even in Republican districts. In Queens, where President Connolly worked hard for him, he made a fine showing.

Justice Roy was sworn in on December 31, and was to have taken his seat on the Supreme Court Bench on January 6. He had been very ill since the campaign, when he was stricken with influenza, and was sworn in at his home. He was unable to take his seat on January 6, and never 1m- proved sufficiently thereafter to do so. despite a trip to Asheville, N. where he sought to recuperate.

Complications set in following the Arst influenza attack, to these that Judge: Roy succumbed. (Continued from Page One.) the Judge was held may be permitted to find full expression.
