He reached the goal of his ambition only to be kept from actual contact with it by the cold hand of death. the end came, this morning there were at the dying jurist's bedside his wife, his two daughters, Mrs. Reid, who was only recently married, and Miss Jean Roy, and his only son, Lieut. Donald of the Aviation Service. Lieut.

Roy returned from active only a short time ago to find whom he had service, left in the full vigor of manhood, close to the end. The news of Judge Roy's death! is a great shock to the community. When it became generally known today among Judges, lawyers and laymen it cast a pall of sorrow over all those who had known him or who had shared in the legal, political and social activities in which Judge Boy had forged ahead from the obscurity of his old Eastern District home to the fame which came to him as the choice of the people at one of the most hotly contested judicial elections in the history of Kings County. All the courts adjourned shortly after the sad news had been announced as a tribute to the dead man and preparations are now being made in many spheres to pay honor to his memory.

in which the Judge was held may be permitted to And full expression. Judge Roy's Rapid Rise Due to Sheer Ability Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Roy, who was one of the most promiment lawyers of Brooklyn before his accession the bench, was born on East Twenty-third street, Manhattan, but lived in this borough since early childhood, a period of more than forty years. father was a carpenter, and Robert was the youngest children. Up to the time of his marrlage, at the age of 22, he lived in a modest frame house on Stockton street, in the Bushwick section.

His late residence was at 659 Jefferson avenue, where he had been residing for some years with his wife and two daughters and a son; The Judge attended Public School No. 26, graduated from it at the age of 12, and went to work immediately. He started to learn wood carving in large furniture factory in Manhattan, but gave this up to take up a branch of the bood-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 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 his bar examinations, and had to waft six months until he was.31 before he could be sworn in for practise. Seven years after this he was appointed Asdistant United States District Attorney under John F. Clarke. Here he made brilliant record, but resigned after tour years to resume his private Dr. Da Costa Not Called To Attend Wilson, Is White House Denial Washington, April, -Offetal denial, was at the White today that Dr.

J. Chalmers Da Costa, of Philadelphia, a naval medical officer, has been summoned to Paris for President Wilson. White House officials are certain that the President has ontirely recovered from his severe cold. Philadelphia, April -Dr. Chalmere Da Costa, chief goon of the Jefferson Hospital and Medical College, today would assign no definite reason for his reported sailing Europe aboard the steamer George Washington, Presidential ship, tomorrow.

"I am a senior member of the Naval Reserve Force," he said, "and believe my trip, if I make It, da purely in keeping with the plan of the Naval Reserve to give a member an annual cruise. I take it for granted this is my turn." Dr. Da Costa said his orders came from the Navy Department, but that would not know definitely until later today whether he would make the trip. He said he knew of no other medical men who would accompany him. Considerable speculation' was caused, although the doctor said there was no reason to couple his departure with the recent illness of President Wilson.

practise, During this time he was a 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 us a prosecuting attorney for his abilIty and fairness, He resigned from the District Attorney's 1ce to take up private practise 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 the Democratic candidate in the Sixth Congressional District. tHe was defeated by 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 appointed 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 Benedict, who, however, was overruled 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 Kings County Republican organization, and was fought by the Democrats. The Republicans contended that Roy and Hylan ha been appointed by Governor Glynn in 1912, and that their terms expired in 1914, before the new elections. The Democrats maintained that the Governor could fill vacanctes until elections were held. Last year Judge Ryan ran for Supreme Court.

Norman J. S. Diehl opposed him. Mr. Roy won in the election on November 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 to have taken his seat on the Supreme Court Bench on January 6. He had been very ill since the campaigh, when he was stricken with. inBuenza, and was sworn in at his home. He was unable to take his seat on and never 1m- proved sufficiently thereafter to do 80, despite a trip to Asheville, N.

where he sought to recuperate, Complications set in following the first fluenza attack, and it was to these that Judge Roy succumbed.

T. Officials. SCORES VENUE CHANGE Asks if Surrogate Was Retained Before Transfer. Mayor Hylan sent a letter today to District Attorney Harry E. Lewis, urging him to bring to trial the remaining defendants in the Malbone street disaster on the Brighton Beach line In which nearly one hundred lives were lost and many persons were seriously Injured.

The Mayor says that he understands there is some as to whether the remaining offiquestion, clals, who have been indicted, should be tried. Mayor Hylan asks in the letter for information as to whether or not Leone D. Howell, Surrogate of Nassau County, had been engaged by the B. R. T.

officials before the change of venue was granted. The Mayor's letter follows: City of New York, Office of the Mayor. April 9, 1919. Honorable Harry E. Lewis, District Attorney, Kings County.

Dear Sir: I note that since the transfer to Nassau County of the indictment of the B. R. T. officials by Mr. Justice Callaghan, the jury found two of the defendants not guilty.

I understand that there seems to be some Question as to whether the other defendants should be tried, for the reason that there is little chance of getting a conviction in that county, I believe the other defendants should tried, and let the jury say whether these men are guilty or not guilty, and if a verdict guilty is found, It will tend to put an end to the practise of Justices of Supreme Court, transferring cases from the Jurisdiction where the crime was committed. When a little fellow is charged with a crime, he is tried in the county where the crime was committed. Would It be possible for you to inform me whether Leone B. Howell, Surrogate of Nassau County, was employed by. any one of the indicted B.

R. T. officials, or by. the B. R.

T. before the cases were transferred to Nassau County, or whether he appeared as the representative of any one of the defendants before the trials were shifted to Nassau County. Very truly yours, JOHN F. HYLAN, Mayor.

Christiania, one of her admirers, was at the dance. Christiania will be arraigned on a charge of felonious assault. SCHOOL TANK FALLS ON BOY; LEG FRACTURED Suffering from a compound fracture lot the right leg. received when a heavy tank in the lavatory of P.

S. No. 92, Rogers avenue and Robinson' street, Flatbush, fell on him, George E. Stanton, 13 years old, of 600 Rogers avenue, te today in the Kings County Hospital. The unusual accident resulted in the rumor being circulated throughout the school and the neighborhood, that the child had been chased from the classroom by his teacher, and had climbed up and held on to the concrete to escape the teacher's wrath.

This, however, was denied by Miss Louise Castle, the principal, when she came to school today. It da. said the boy climbed up to the tank to see how much water was in it, and the supports gave away under his weight. Young Stanton is the son of Edward Stanton, former warrant officer in the Brooklyn Magistrate's Court, who is at present attached to Bergen Street Station. The officer denied any knowledge of his son's alleged trouble with his teacher.

POLICEMAN HURT WHEN TROLLEY HITS HIS HORSE Mounted Policeman William F. Conway, 84 years old, who is attached to Traffic Squad was on patrol at Third avenue and Fifteenth street yesterday afternoon when his horse Sal was struck by a west-bound trolley of the Fifteenth street line.

His body, was not recovered.

CLARK STREET' TUNNEL OPENS NEXT TUESDAY Two Trains Start Simultaneously at Midnight. NO FORMAL EXERCISES Subway Links Manhattan West Side and Brooklyn. The Public Service Commission has tentatively arranged for the opening of the new Clark street tunnel line at one minute after midnight next Tuesday 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 Serv, ice Commission will ride on 1 the first train, but the beginning of the new under-river service will not be signalized by formal exercises.

The Clark Street tunnel line is an important addition to the rapid transit facilities of Manhattan and Brooklyn. It will obviate the necessity of transfer 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 provided 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 11 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 non-rush periods at Hoyt street as well as Nevins street. The latter becomes an express stop 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 Rallroad station to make the changes and transfers at that point more available and easy of access. Changing From East to West. avenue terminus.

New Borough Hall Entrances. In addition to the above changes, It should also be noted that 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, 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 termintis at Atlantic avenue. One new station will be opened in Brooklyn by Clark street operation, namely, the new Brooklyn Heights station, located at Clark 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 undertake a 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 Side showing connections. the new The Brooklyn-West Commission has directed that large signs shall be prepared and placed at several points, notably at the trance to the new platforms at Borough Hall and at the Atlantic 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 readfly located by the passengers who de-. sire 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. Is completed, interchange of traftic will be possible between the two stations by the mezzanine. This will not take place for several months, Passengers, who enter the new Borough Hall station platforms from the entrance at the corner of Myrtle avenue or from that In the plaza, will enter at the western end of the uppermost or westbound platform.

Mathey desire to go eastbound from the westbound platform at this 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 From through to the westbound platform. that point by use of the mezzanines, passengers may reach the eastbound platforms, ITALY YIELDS IN FIUME DISPUTE; EASTER PEACE AGAIN PREDICTED; PRESIDENT HOME EARLY IN MAY to Internationalize Adriatic Sea Port. FOUR QUESTIONS DECIDED Ex-Kaiser to Be Tried and Banished.

Paria, April The "Big Four" setting a new pace in its deliberations, has reached 8. stage where it was reliably forecast. today that the predictions of an "Easter peace" will not fall many days short of the mark. If the present progress continues, it was said, the George Washington probably will be held in Brest and will return to the States early In May with President Wilson aboard. The latest development in the "Big Four' session is that are now ready to accept internationalization of Flume, according to authoritative information.

The peace terms covering the Saar Valley have been completed, with the exception of their formal drafting. It is understood that France will get use of the Saar coal mines and control of labor in the mines as part of her reparation. This is regarded as a fair return for Germany's destruction of French, coal mines in the Lens region. Germany will retain political control of the Saar Basin, and a plebiscite will be held later to determine perma-' nent disposition of that territory. Four important questions--Flume, the Saar Valley, reparation and for the war--which have contributed largely to the delay in arranging a peace settlement, have thus been virtually disposed of within a period of two days.

Many observers are disposed to attach considerable significance to the fact that this sudden increase of speed developed 1m- mediately after the President summoned the George Washington ton Brest, giving the impression that he was prepared to leave Paris at once unless the conferees submerged their individual claims in favor of world interests. No secret was made of the fact in American circles that pessimism has given way to the most optimistic feeling that has prevailed in weeks. The American delegates now see the possibility of a quick breaking down of opposition to compromise settlement of various questions. The President and Mrs. Wilson called on Queen Marle of Rumania at the Ritz Hotel at 9:40 this morning, remaining a quarter of an hour.

Lloyd George's Power. Premier Lloyd George, according to general belief today, occupies the unique position of holding the "balance of power" in the peace conference. American delegates, clinging to the fourteen points and the armistice terms, have clashed more frequently with the interests of France and Italy than those of any other power, It was pointed Lloyd George's policy throughout the peace deliberations been based largely on a tion to win America's permanent friendship, no what else happens, many of his friends declare. As a result, When the recent "crisis" deto have thrown his veloped, the British Premierstintedly to President Wilson, making possible' the remarkable progress of the last two days. Lloyd George is now between two fires.

While striving to maintain the present pace by agreeing to necessary compromises and bringing his influbear on his French and Italence to ian colleagues, the Premier must bear in mind his pre-election pledges and the now apparent determination of the Conservative Parliament to hold him to those promises. Although an agreement has been reached on reparation and responsibility for the war, the Peace Conference is not yet out of the woods regarding the secret treaties entered into by the Allies before American intervention, it was learned from an authorative source today. Wilson Standing Firm. Reference to the conference being "agreed on the principal points, with only the details be settled," means, in one to, showdown on the London pact is yet to come. The suggestion from high quarters that the delegates again "look over the' fourteen points" is also accepted as a reminder that President Wilson is ing just as firmly on the principles laid down in the armistice as at the start of the conference.

These terms ecognize no secret treaties. A "When Greece's claims were being discussed by British, French and Italan representatives, this committee held It WAS not competent to discuss certain points centering on Smyrna, as their rovernments: were bound by the London pact regarding those questions. This situation came up, it was learned authoritatively, just as the President returned to work after his recent. illness, but it has not yet been (Continued en Page Two.)

MANY KILLED FIGHTING IN 3 GERMAN CITIES Madgeburg, Dusseldorf, Essen in State of Siege. PLAN FOOD BAN ON MUNICH Socialists Would Starve Bavarian Soviet Government. By FRANK J.

TAILOR Berlin, April fighting has broken out in Magdeburg, Dusseldorf and Essen, where the Government has proclaimed a state of siege. Many persons have been killed. The deposed Bavarian Socialist government has retired from Nuremburg to Bamberg, it was learned today. Under direction of Premier Hoffmann, loyal troops and peasants are being organized to establish a food blockade against Munich and other cities which have embraced communism, with the idea of starving the Soviet government into submission. Civil war in Bavaria, it was believed here, depends on the Socialists' ability to gather quickly a formidable force of trained soldiers.

Indications multiplied today that the National Soviet Congress, in session here, would confine its efforts to peaceful demands on the Scheidemann government for certain reforms, Wilson Making Progress, Says Message to Capitol By ROBERT J.

THREE ARMIES UNITE TO FIGHT RUSSIAN REDS Form Cordon From Baltic to Black Sea. ALLIES EVACUATE CRIMEA Generals Humbert and Graziani to Head New Force. April General Humbert and General Graziani have been appointed to command the Allied cordon which will be established from the Baltic to the Black Sea, it was reported today. lA dispatch to the Matin said the Allies have evacuated the Isthmus of Perekop (Crimea) and are fortifying Sebastopol. Recent reports said the Allies would establish a new "eastern front" against the Bolsheviki by bringing about cooperation of the Rumanian, CzechoSlovak and 'Polish armies.

These armies were to be officered, equipped and organized by the Allies. 600,000, Reds Concentrating. That "the Bolsheviki have, 600,000 troops concentrated in the Archangel region and are determined to capture that port was the belief expressed today by a French Major, who just returned to Paris, after being exiled in Russia since 1914. advices received in Washington yesterday said the Bolsheviki in Northern Russia do not total more than 17,500, that then, and Allies that have the twice Bolsheviki as many are poorly The Bolsheviki, according to the French officer, want the large stores in Archangel. He declares the situation serious, and Insists the Allies must either reinforce theip armies or withdraw immediately, The Allies on the Archangel front.

the officer said, are hemmed in on one side by. the Bolsheviki and on the other by a frozen Realizing the extent of the Allies' predicament, the Bolsheviki have cencentrated 50 or 60 per cent of their available troops in this region for the purpose of capturing the supplies in Archangel. "I estimate the Bolsheviki army at about a million," he said. "They are fairly well organized on paper, but will not fight unless they feel like it. They are poor troops for that reason, and do not persist when they meet stiff resistence.

In that fact lies the chief hope of the Allies in the Archangel region. "It is not true that Russia is largely pro-Bolsheviki. I have talked with many peasants. They told me they voted for Bolsheviki officials because they were given land, which they always wanted, Now they want order restored above anything else. They will welcome any authority guaranteeing them the right to retain their land and the opportunity to market their products peacefully, In the meantime they necessarily support the Bolsheviki because they Have nothing else to turn to.

"Owing to the general feeling that they have been deserted by the world I would not be surprised to see the Siberians Join the Bolsheviki any day -not because they believe in Bolshevism, but because they, have no I alternative."
