10 FRIDAY THE BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES DECEMBER 21, 1923 South Brooklyn---Bay Ridge News (BROOKLYN COUNCIL BURNS MORTGAGE Knights of Columbus Celebrate Freeing of Their Clubhouse From Debt. CONG. GRIFFIN, ORATOR Organization May Raze Present Buildings and Replace Them With Modern Structure. Brooklyn Counell, Knights of Columbus, celebrated in gala style last evening at their clubhouse, 373 Ninth street, the burning of the mortgage that encumbered the property that they now occupy. Although they purchased one buildings in June, 1920, and the other in September of the same year they have cleared up the Inst $10,000 mortgage that was held on the premises.

It present plans are carried out they will undertake a rebuilding proposition that will involve $200,000. This plan contemplates the tearing down of the present two structures and the acquisition of the corner plot on Sixth avenue and Ninth street. As this is on the same block with the newly planned Prospect branch, Y. M. C.

and with the present prospect Theatre and with the Publle Library opposite the neighborhood will lose more of its residential aspect. Business has been encroaching on the private houses on both sides of the street at this point, necessitating the conversion of many dwellings into stores and offices. Congressman Daniel J. Griffin was the orator of the evening and at the conclusion of his speech, which was replete with the progress of Brooklyn Council, the mortgage papers were burned with an appropriate display of fireworks. The basket in which Gustave Hartung, president of the Club and advocate of the council, burned the document was surrounded with sparklers and the committee of members also had hands full of them and it made a spectacular scene.

Mr. Griffin is a past grand knight of Brooklyn, Council, past district deputy and past State deputy of the K. of C. The council was organized in the undertaking shop of his uncle, William F. Meagher, who was the first grand knight.

Several of the charter members were present to lend their cheering tot the occasion. Among them were Michael Smith, Edmund Powers, Richard Jones and Peter Quinn. The council, it seems, is trying to crowd December with activities. On Sunday next the Christmas Fund Girls, composed of the women of the auxiliary, will distribute 320 Christmas stockings to children of needy parents, The men folk will put on a Santa Claus show, assisted by the Glee Club, at the Guardian Angels' Home, Twelfth avenue and Eightyfifth street, and distribute toys, candy and cakes to the orphans. At the clubrooms there was a) large space set aside showing the articles that will compose the Christmas baskets that the organization will distribute to families in the district who would otherwise be without a seasonable Christmas dinner.

There was chicken, vegetables, canned goods, cranberries and all the delicacies and substantial articles that go to make up such dinner. These will also be distributed on Sunday. In order that the Christmas spirit may prevail the visitor is greeted with a large evergreen, tree in the front yard of the club. The present officers are: John J. Carroll, grand knight; William J.

McDermott, deputy grand knight; Frank McDonald, chancellor; James H. Carrick, financial secretary: Albert Johnston, recording secretary; RobertMitchell, warden; Gustave Hartung, advocate; James McGivney, treasurer: Joseph Conless, Patrick Cowley and Charles Hartung, board of trustees. Mr. and Mrs. Cornely Hold Crystal Wedding Popular Songs of 15 Years Ago Resung.

Surrounded by many friends of years standing Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Cornely, of 301 Seventh street, celebrated their crystal wedding last evening.

There was plenty of music and several numbers by Arthur Lutz who played many of the songs that were popular about the time the celebrants were married. Several songs and stories by professional talent enlivened the proceedings. About midnight the guests were marched into the dining room where a nicely decorated table was laid and they proceeded to enjoy a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Numerous presents were given to the happy couple and they were put on display as they were received. I Among the crystal pieces were many of cut glass in the form of candelabra, fruit bowls, salad dishes and whatnot.

Those present included: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lutz, Mr. and Mrs. Owen Greenan, Mr.

NO ONE SELECTED AS YET Successor to Harman as Park Commissioner Also Still Remains in Doubt. No decision has been arrived at in regard to any of the appointmenta to be made by the Incoming Sheriff, Park Commissioner John N.

Harman, according to information obtainable from a reliable source at Democratic headquarters, today. Friends of Special Sessiona Clerk John J. Dorman, who managed the Sheriff-elect's campaign: Henry Hasenflug, leader of the Nineteenth Assembly District, who is clerk of Coney Island Magistrate's Court; William F. Delaney, who 18 chief clerk of the City Magistrates' Court, and leader of the Twentieth Antembly District and of Supreme Court Cleric Peter Carey, who is leader of the Tenth Assembly District, are all working hard booming them for Under-Sheriff. The job pays $6,000 year.

There are. several other district leaders wha hold official positions, which do not pay that much and whose names also are said to be under consideration. They are being kept under cover for assembly district political reasons. It was said this morning that some of the tour men named above might not be willing to take the Job In spite of the activities of their friends. The position held by Delaney pays about the same as the under sheriff's Job, although it is said that Delaney might welcome a change of duties.

There seems to be some question as to whether Hasenflug would take the place of Under Sheriff, because the tenure is only certain for two years, whereas his present job is practically for life. Speculation is rife concerning the successor Commissioner Harman as head of the Park Department. Dr. Kemp, the secretary of the Park Department, appears to be in favor, according to the gossip today, and an entirely new candidate cropped up in the person of Clyde Carter, the "Windsor Terrace firebrand," who tried to get the nomination for Congress away from Congressman Loring M. Black, in 1922.

Carter is at present aligned with the Griffin organization in the Twelfth Assembly District, where Commissioner Harman resides. LEVIATHAN STUCK IN MUD OF HARBOR (Continued from Faze One.) some tugs were pushing against the bow and on the sides while others had lines pulling on the stern. More tugs were gathering to offer assistance. It was apparent that she had struck first on her port bow. A ferryboat captain said that- she seemed to take a sudden sheer bestruck.

Numerous opinions were advanced as the cause. Some believed the tide might have been responsible, while others advanced the opinion that the pilot got off the course in the fog and went into the shallow water. When she steamed up the bay, the fog was so heavy that only the tops of her stacks were visible from the shore. Early this afternoon those ashore reported that the list to starboard still was visible. Immediately after the accident, the only boat alongside the Leviathan was a harbor craft displaying a huge sign: "Welcome, John McGraw." The manager of the New York Giants returned from a European trip aboard the Leviathan.

Among the prominent persons aboard the liner were: The Earl of Grananard, W. A. Harriman, of the United American Lines; Signor Natchabelli, coming to join his wife, who is to appear in Max Reinhardt's production of "The Countess Tolstoi, wife of the Russian au. thor; State Senator W. F.

Doyle, of Boston; Fred S. Dunn, of the British-American Arbitration Commission. Nine other tugs later joined in the effort to pull the big liner off the mud flat. It appeared likely that the Leviathan would remain hard and fast until after nightfall. Capt.

Herbert Hartley said it would be impossible for him to make a statement until he had reported to headquarters. The pliot, Joseph Bigley, explained that it was a strong ebb from Kill Von Kull that was responsible. It caught the ship on the port side and before the 'drift could be controlled she was aground. There was 41 feet of water astern and 35 feet on the bow. Pilot Bigley said he was trying to avoid the harbor traffic in the moderate fog by keeping to the left.

He thought the water there would be deep enough for clearance. The tug Menominee went aground less than fifty feet from the place where the Leviathan hit the mudbank. The passengers had expected to land at 11 A. M. Many were disappointed when they realized they were "hung up" down the bay, but most of them regarded It as a huge Joke.

the income of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities from the time of 9 Cits organization in 1910, when it began functioning with approximately $91,000 from 3,700 subscribers, is on shown in a report of the financial status of the organization just made public by its president, Aaron Willjam Levy. For 1923, the Federation received TE $385,000 from 20,500 subscribers and its toal income was $433,000. During the first year of its operations, the expenditures of the Federation were $89,000 and for the year just ending the expenditures were nearly five times as much, or a total of $418,000. When the Federation began operations in 1910 nine institutions were affiliated with it. Today awl the number of affiliated societies is twenty-two.

cope with the growing needs of the Brooklyn community the income of the Federation must be greatly said Mr. Levy, "All or the twenty-two societies afour filiated with the Federation have submitted budgets calling for allotments far in excess of our present resources. The additional moneys asked represent the absolute minimum the societies will require to meet the calls made upon them during the coming year, due to the tremendous growth of the Jewish popuu lation of Brooklyn and Queens. grant these conservative demands for increased allotments by cur twenty-two affiliated societies, the Federation must have at least $200,000 more at its disposal than it had for 1923. "Two hundred and sixty leading business and professional men of the two boroughs have already enlisted for the campaign to raise $600,000 for 1924 under the leadership of Congressman Emanuel Celler.

By the time we are ready to launch the 'drive' we will have a volunteer army of at least twice that number who will leave no 'prospect' until we have raised and oversubscribed the sum that is needed."

Alphonse Ethier, actor, whose wife, Catherine Falloway Ethier, prima donna of light opera and musical comedy, disappeared from their home at 312 West street, Manhattan, last Wednesday afternoon, resided in Brooklyn twenty years, it was learned today.

Mr. Ethier said he lived in Sheepshead Bay until the death of his first wife, four years ago. Thomas Ethier, a son by his first wife, was a student at Erasmus Hall High School and is now a resident of Sheepshead Bay, Owing to the fact that Mrs. Ethier had about $3,000 worth of jewelry and a large sum of money when she went out to shop last Wednesday, Mr. Ether expressed fear her absence is the result of foul play.

Mrs. Ethier wore two diamond rings, one stone of three and a half karats, a lavalliere with fifty-three diamonds and a diamond bracelet. Mr. Ethier is 49 and his wife, 35. They were married two years ago.

Police Commissioner Enright appeared before the board and requested that a transfer of $50,000 in Police Department funds be made to cover the cost of installing radio equipment in Police Headquarters.

and for making the room where it is located sound proof. The request was laid over for one week at Acting Mayor Hubert's objections to such action. Acting, Mayor Hulbert asked the Commissioner why he wanted the money ht the present time. To this the Commissioner replied: "We need the radio as badly now as telephones were needed twentyfive years ago. We need it to properly communicate the operations of criminals and have assurance that reciprocal apparatus will be established by Jersey City and other nearby cities." According to the Commissioner, the Police Department plans to instal after January 1 extensions of the present system to all police stations, railroad terminals and ferries.

This addition will mean an appropriation of $15,000 more. Mr. Hulbert said that several city departments have asked for radio service and that he did not want to establish a precedent in giving one department radio apparatus to the exclusion of the others. "But the Police Department is surely an exception," said Commissioner Enright. "Our work is confidential and the request a modest one." Borough President Riegelmann backed up the Commissioner by sayIng.

A specially designed motor, recently installed, was also lost. Dewey has been a prominent figure in commerical aviation in and around New York. He had several narrow escapes from death in his flights. The most recent of them occurred last April when one of his seaplanes fell in the water about 9 o'clock one Sunday evening, just off the Steeplechase pier at Coney Island. Dewey discarded his flying togs and swam to chores for assistance, thus saving the of four perons he had aboard his plane 'as passengers.

VETTERS GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER (Continued from l'age One.) that he would appeal from the verdict. It was learned that the jury was split six and six for a first degree murder verdict and for acquittal. when it first retired last night, and that early this morning five stood out firmly for acquittal and seven for murder of first degree. A compromise on the manslaughter verdict was finally effected, breaking the deadlock. Locked Up at 12:45 A.

M. The jury were locked up at 12:25 this morning by Justice Humphrey, after debating the fate of the defendants since 4:30 yesterday afternoon. At 10:35 last night the Jury filed into the courtroom and asked that the judge's charge be re-read. As this was done, all the jurors, with the exception 1 of one, leaned forward with the gravest expressions on their faces and listened intently to every word. Both the Vetters were present.

Mrs. Vetter's eyes were popping out and staring, and her husband's pallor was almost the color of his white hair. After an hour the jury retired again. Judge Outlines Killing. Justice Humphrey, in charging the jury stated that the defendants might be found guilty of homicide in the first, second or third degree as an alternative to acquittal, although he discussed the second degree at greater length than the other possibilities.

Justice Humphrey charged that the Vetters had the right to resist attack by Storey in their home, even to the extent of killing their assallant, and that the killing of the intruder might be justified even if Vetter was the original aggressor, if Storey had renewed the attack later. He charged also that considerable time must be assumed to have elapsed for premeditation it first degree murder was to be justified. The court ruled that the invitation to the Vetter home, extended to Storey, and the method of disposing of his body should not be accepted alone as proof of premeditation. Vetters Unmoved. He finally stated that while it was as great a crime to kill a bad man as a good man, yet the character of the men concerned might be considered by the jury in determining the aggressor.
