David and Benjamin from the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum. Mr. and Mrs. Provide Connection for Smith St Subway Scherm-erhorn Route Favored. By MAX MENCHER, Two Important development In the construction of subways In 'Brooklyn were made public by John H.

Delaney, chairman of the Board ef Transportation, last night. In an Interview on the progress of tho new municipal subway. (1) The city was rushing plans for the construction of a tube under the East River from Rutgers st, to connect with the Smith st route. (2) Livingston st. will be eliminated as the route for a subway, and Schermerhorn st.

will probably contain all six tracks of the trunk line In Brooklyn. In connection with the growing Importance of Schermerhorn Chairman Delaney indicated that the Character of the street will undergo marked change. It will be necessary, Delaney said, to condemn two blocks on the southerly side oi Bchernierhorn street, from Bond to Smith in order to provide room for a large subway station to be located there. It will also be necessary io take part of the frontage on the north side of Smith and Schermerhorn sts. lor the station construction.

"I have not made any final decision yet as to just what is to be done in connection with Schermerhorn and Livingston sts. as the routes tor a subway," Delaney stated. 'There are no large buildings on Schermerhorn but land is very valuable on either street. "I am considering the question on this basis: If there are to be tracks on both Livingston and Schermerhorn then we will have to have a station both on Livingston and Schermerhorn which are adjacent to each other. The Livingston St.

stationwill be nearer to the shopping district and with the local trains running on that street, great contusion will be caused to passenger 1. "Another point is that we will dig up two such Important thoroughfares at the same lime and cause Rreat disruption to the entire dls-j trlct 'The relative cost of both alterna- At. 1 Krt tinncirlfrort It' UVtTB llllini BlOW will cost no more to put bIx tracks Under Schermerhorn st. than it will cost to put four tracks there. And ao we found that the balance of con-1 venience of cost and of traffic re- i suited In the probable choice of Schermerhorn sL for all the tracks.

We never could use Livingston st as the main line in any event." Delaney further denied that department stores had opposed the Construction of a subway on Livingston st, adding that he had always had the heartiest kind of support from the leading stores and mercantile establishments. The Board of Transportation has put three squadrons of designers at work on the plans of the Houston and Essex st. line, which will bring another tunnel under the river to link up with the Eighth ave. trunk line in Manhattan. This branch had not been Included In the first batch of plans which were to have been advanced ln'192S.

Hayes, of Brooklyn, re tiring president of tho conference. "Fraternities are not to be judged as a whole by their temporary status on any particular campus." Judge Bayes said.

"Here in our organization we have 611 fraternities working together on broad lines so that fraternities may go forward hand in hand with colleges and universities. In other words, the fraternities, as a whole, are at one with the college and university authorities in putting their influence behind good scholarship, right conduct and fine physical condition." The situation at Yale, Judge Bayea pointed out, was not comparable with that in other Artierian colleges, as fraternities there are class societies, membership in which is restricted to students belonging to one of the four college classes.
