Engineers Investigating Cost to Build. WOULD RELIEVE BRIDGE Work on New Plaza Station Being Rushed. Long Island City, May 13. There was considerable interest shown last evening over the announcement of Public Service Commissioner Williams that engineers are investigating the probable cost of a tunnel for trains from Fifty-ninth street, Manhattan, to this city, connecting the dual transit system lines with those in Manhattan. Those who have been working against the plan to narrow the roadway of the Queensboro Bridge accommodate the subway trains, were greatly elated.

Capt. Frederick Russell is leading the opposition to the use of the bridge for subway trains, and said last night that he believed the engineers would report favorably upon the proposition. He said that under conditions existing in the vicinity of the bridge and where the tunnel will be extended it will not take much longer to build the tunnel than it will to reconstruct the bridge. The contractors who are to erect the station on the Bridge Plaza are rushing their work and excavations are being made for the foundation piers. At the -mouth of the Steinway tunnel the Degnon Contracting Company has put up several large cranes preparatory to commencing work.

SOCIAL WORKER SEEKS PROBATIONARY OFFICE Miss Van Vranken Asks Court Appointment. Hempstead, May 13. Miss Florence Van Vranken addressed the Town Board yesterday relative to her work in the county among the dependent children. She is in the employ of the Nassau County Association and has had much experience in this charity. She told the board that when children aie put out in private homes their parents position in life often changes ami much expense could be saved the county if they were only made to support their offspring when incomes warranted it.

Miss Van Vranken also asked to be made a probation officer in the police courts. The young womaif is particularly adapted to this kind of work, and through her kindness many youths could be saved from the reformatory. One good home she said was better than all the institutions in the State. The child would receive personal attention, which it could not possibly get in any institution. Any foster mother, no matter how poor, was better than an institution.

The Justices favor securing her services, as she stated that she would investigate any case brought to her attention. Some of the bills contracted for by former Overseers of the Poor have been passed by Counselor Jackson, and will be paid by the board within a short time. KINGSLAND HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE Babylon Show Place Had Cost Babylon, May 13. Fire broke out an early hour this morning in the old homestead of the late Cornelius Kings-land, on the Crescent, and caused a damage estimated at $25,000. The property was recently purchased by Stephen Van Allen and David K.

Morrell, of Jamaica, for developing poses. The blaze was discovered by John Arnold, about 6 o'clock. The fire had gained such headway that the firemens efforts were fruitless. By 7 o'clock the house was a mass of burning embers. The house was partly covered by insurance.

The Kingsland house was built in 1884 by Walter S. ingsland, who lived there for about a year and then sold it to his brother Cornelius. The place at that time was valued at about When Mr. Kingsland died recently, Messrs. Van Allen and Morrell purchased the property.

The ground was cut into Duilding lots and the house was being removed to a site on the creek pond. It is thought here that the severe lightning storm early this morning was the cause of the fire. Whitestone A euchre and reception will be held Thursday evening in Arcanum Hall by the Royal Arcanum Council. A large number of valuable and handsome prizes have been donated. I feet to solid rock.

On the Long Island City shore the tower has reached 60 feet. The viaduct is built of concrete piers gradually reducing in height until about Second avenue, Long Island City, is reached, where the streets are arched over with jjnmense concrete structures, about 100 feet above the surface of the street, and at Second avenue the new elevated extension of the Dual Subway System runs under this solid concrete archway. The terminus of the bridge work is at Stemler street, this city. Here the earth fill begins and continues across Jackson avenue to connect with the Sunnyside yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was evident that this railroad will be completed by the end of 1916.

The tremendous effect upon all Long Island, especially the Borough of Queens of the completion of this bridge in conjunction with the big system of improvements of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which involve an expenditure of $150,000,000, will be immeasurable.

A George McLaughlin', chief inspector in the office of the State Commissioner of Prisons, has recommended that a civil jail be built in Queens, it was stated last that the Board of Estimate will be asked at once for funds to employ architects to prepare plans. The request will be forwarded by Borough Prsident Connolly and will be endorsed by Commissionei Davis.

Washing clothes before the Court of Special Sessions was tried yesterday for the first time. Detective Leonard Hoffman, of Long Island City, acted as the laundress and, after washing out a handkerchif with great care, he hung it to dry on the railing around the prisoners pen, where the judges could see it. He did the washing in a little tub of water that he carried into the court room. The washing was done during the trial of Nathan Fierstein, 18, of 71 Borden avenue, Long Island City, who was charged with malicious mischief in putting some powder into clothes that he sent to a laundry. The powder, touched by water, dyed the clothes an indelible red, it is claimed.

There is keen rivalry between two laundries, it is said. But, objected Attorney Gregg, for the defense, how do you know that the dye wont wash right out? I suggest that we have a demonstration right here, said Assistant District Attorney Frank Adel, and the red dve in the handkerchif did not wash out or disappear, even after the piece of linen had dried on the railing. The judges found the prisoner guilty and remanded him to jail for a week. GREAT NECK SPEAKERS TO HAVE CONTEST MAY 22 Great Neck, May 13.
