of a to 1 THE BROOKLYN TIMES. MONDAY, JULY 17. 1911. TIMES "NEWSIE" SCORES A RECORD SKINNY! DECLARES IT HAS 'EM ALL SKINNED AS A SELLER. THEY GO LIKE HOT CAKES Hamilton Avenue Youth Has Made Good Business, and Knows What He's Talking About.

"Gee, but those baseball editiona or the Times are going like hot cakes," said Roger Twyford, known to Brooklyn newsboys as "Skinny." Roger Twyford, although he is only boy, has the shrewd sagacity of a bustness man. and has had quite an adventurous career. First he started out as an office boy, HERE'S "SKINNY." and after working for a Brooklyn firm for six months decided to go into business for himself. So he quit the officeboy job and started out to canvass the situation in Brooklyn. "And believe me, It was no cinch, either," said "Skinny," 88 he between busy moments of selling the Times.

"I thought for awhile that I was goin' to be up against it, all right. "One day I found that I could go Into the newspaper business on Hamilton avenue. The proposition looked good to me and I hiked out there and cast my peepers over the ground. Then I got some papers and started out to hustle the news to the people." It was not long before had a good trade and Brooklynites in that section became accustomed to his long, attenuated frome and bright ambitious face. Soon he had a steady clientage and his weekly recelpts became larger and larger.

When Times started bringing out the baseball extras, with all the news about the big teams, "Skinny" was right there with the goods, and began handling the Times regularly in the downtown section of the borough. "I have sold all kinds of papers in my times," said "Skinny" to-day, "but when comes to selling, the Times has them all skinned. Take it from me the folks sure are stuck on that baseball sheet." "Skinny" piles his busy trade on Court street and is now well known along this thoroughfare. He sells on an average one hundred Times day and his record is 145 copies of the baseball edition one evening. When it comes to doing big business in his chosen field: "Skinny" is in a class all by himself.

In the words of one of his close pals, "Skinny's de goods." THIRD BATTERY HOME FROM CAMP MEN HAD INTERESTING TIME, BUT TRIP DOWN WAS UNPLEASANT. The Third Battery, Field Artillery, commanded by Capt. Chauncey Matlock, returned to its armory on Clermont, near Myrtle avenue, last night after an absence of ten days spent in a march to and from the State camp of instruction, near Peekskill, and a tour of field servse ice and outdoor target practise on the tented plains overlooking the Hudson. The return trip was made with but one over -night stop. The start for home was made shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday morning.

Capt. Matlock's command, with the First and Second Batteries of Manhattan, all under command of Major David Wilson, moved from Peekskill to a point just above Tarrytown and there bivouacked for the night. The temporary camp was only eighteen miles from Peekskill and the Brooklyn guardsmen were much disgruntled because they could have gone much further and divided the journey much equally. As it was it left Capt. Matlock and his men about thirty-four miles to cover yesterday.

There was some dissatisfaction also on the outward trip and some of the men declared that they would never again join the battery on a ilke trip as a part of A battalion. The men stood the last long drive splendidly, however, but not 80 the horses, one of which had to be shot at 122d street, Manhattan. The battery crossed the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn and on reaching Flushing avenue passed through that thoroughfare and Clermont avenue and thence across Myrtie avenue to the armory, thoroughly tired out, they having been on the march at an early morning hour for two days and having had comparatively little sleep and irregular meals. They doffed the service uniform and were in a hurry for civilian attire and then hurried home to get the first square meal they had had In two days. Much of the work of the battery in camp consisted of target practise and Capt.

Matlock brought home with him two of the targets used which show excellent results of the shooting done by his officers and men. The guardsmen used their three-inch held pieces. They were also permitted to qualify with pistols. Only about two score, however, had an opportunity to do so. The others will have to go to the new State rifle range at Blauvelt for their marksmen's decoration.

Generally speaking officers and men had thoroughly interesting and enjoyable tour. Bishop W. Hood, senior Bishes M. E. Zion, the pulpit of the pet Street A.

In a city like Brooklyn, which, like there Topay, is no real centre-no one joint such "was never borned but just grew," as Capitol Hill at Washington, for ample -from which all of the important avenues of the city radiate. The only point in the whole city which can be considered as having been set aside with the idea of its development into such a centre is the Plaza. The point Is now conveniently reached by several lines of city far remote and the plans for the cars which connect with sections 3 of the extension of the system of subways will Increase the accessibility of this point from all sections of the city. When the acquisition of this site was agitated we had not become accustomed to subway travel, but we can now prediet with certainty that with the proposed transportation facilities the Plaza can be conveniently reached from more sections of the city than any other location in the borough. As a test of the present accessibility of the Plaza site one has only to the thousands of persons who find It easy to get to Prospect Park from all parts of Brooklyn during the summer season.

to the Encroachment on Park Lands. The public sentiment which opposes the use of park lands for building purposes is commendable, provided proposed building may be properly, considered' an encroachment, and any sense A part of or an adjunct to the Itself. In the present instance the erection of a public library on the trlangular plot cannot truthfully be said to be an undue encroachment upon park property since the whole tract of land opposite the present Park on Flatbush avenue, and extending through to Washington avenue, which is owned by the city, and is available for. park purposes, has not as yet been utilized. Indeed, instead of being considered an "encroachment," the public library and the Museum of Arts and Sclences already erected upon this plot should be considered as adding to rather than detracting from the beauty and dignity of the Park itself, while the park itself affords a Atting setting for these two Institutions.

Certainly the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History cannot be regarded as the least attractive features of. Central Park In New York. Furthermore, the opponents of this site, If sincere in advancing this particular objection, should carefully consider whether the Interests of the people of Brooklyn will be best served by the extention of the present boundarles of Park or by the establishment of a chain of small parks similar to that planned for the city of Chicago. The sincerity of their interests in parks for the people may be as truly tested by their effort to extend the park system throughout the city as by their opposition to any scheme which includes the use of park lands for public buildings. That a Building on This Site Would Be Out of Harmony With Its roundings.

In this connection it is interesting to note that in 1888-nine years before the present library was organized--this identical site was selected by a Committee of the Board of Park Commissioners to which the question of the East Side Lands had been referred as the, most ftting site for a large public library. Twenty-Year-Old Arguments Still Hold Good. Over twenty years have elapsed since the presentation of that report but the development of the city in that time has not been such as to weaken in any degree the force of the arguments advanced by that committee. In the study of this or any other problem concerning the beautification of our elties is absolutely essential that all personal consideration must be subordinated, and that the robplem be approached with a mind free from bias. Only under such conditions can results be obtained which will be satisfactory to the future well as the present generation.In the selection of the site the Trustees of the Library are exceedingly desirous that the Library Building shall be considered as part of the Plaza scheme.

In this conection the architect who has designed the Library Building has madeat the request of ex-Mayor McClellanan elaborate study of the present lay-out of the Plaza and has prepared a scheme for a symmetrical treatment which instead of detracting from its beauty will greatly enhance it. The Plaza as it stands to-day is a neglected opportunity. In its present condition it is imperfect and incomplete. If the people of Brooklyn are in earnest in desiring that their city shall be beautifled the Plaza affords an excellent opportunity for the commencement of such work, and the proposed Library Building instead of being an inharmonious note in the scheme may be made an important part of it. That an Irregularly-Shaped Lot Presents a Very Oifficult Problem for Agricultural Treatment.

At the time the question of the proposed library the site was considered by this league, exact style of building to be erected upon the site was not determined, Mr. Olmstead stated: "For the city to decide off-hand without detailed study of the problem that and this lot thus is to commit be used for the library, Itself to the policy of accommodating the library there whether the resulting building turns out to be fitted to its place in the plaza design or not, would be most unfortunate." The committee having charge of the erection of the building and the architect who was engaged to prepare the plans fully appreciated the necessity of having the bullding in "Its dimensions, its position and Its design precisely suited to the With this end in view the architect. librarian and consulting architect made a careful and critical examination of bulldings erected upon sites of a similar shape, both In this country and abroad. The results of this inspection are clearly consulting set forth architect, in the from report which of the following quotations are made: "European cities are full of examples of such buildings, because few of them are laid out on a rectangular street pian. To the European architect converging streets offer peculiar architectural opportunities, which have been variously treated In different cases.

In most Instances the truncated narrow end of the block has been made the most important face by a specially rich architectural treatment. "The libraries at Bale, Cassel, Heidel. berg and Amiens, the Leipzig Rathhaos. and the stately stair-hall of the Stuttgart Industrial Museum show the variety of atyle in European libraries and public and raise the question of the relative propriety of a picturesque and of a monumental treatment for the problem in hand. But in spite of German succeases it would seem that the proximity of the massive and stately Brooklyn Institate and of the Memorial Arch 1m- upon the designer of the new library the adoption of a stately classic of or at least of versions of classic architecture.

The great elze of the building seems to demand large scale In the composition: But the openness and the shape of the site, the proximity of the water tower and the purpose of the bullding. lend themselves to freer handling or the detail than would be possible with a rigidly classic design, though they do not prohibit a severer purity or style. These conditions are mo obvious that the decision may be safely left to the architect himself. Your adviser is seeking in these remarka merely to present the situation, not to dictate dealen. The site has also been criticized because it has peen said to be 100 small for the purpose for which it in designed.

In reply to this criticism it may be stated that the programme prepared by the Chief Librarian stated the exact number of square feet which it was desire able should be provided for each room in the new building. The sizes of these rooms was determined after a careful amination of the dimensions of similar rooms in all the Important library buildinge erected in the country during the past twenty-five years. The librarians in charge of these various buildings were also consulted to ascertain whether 'the space allotted for the different rooms in their building was adequate. In the plans which have been prepared for the new Central Library Bullding in Brooklyn, the requirements of the Librarian as to the size of rooms have been met and In some instances more than the space specifled has been provided. The book capacity of the building has been Increased from one million and A half volumes, which was the original estimate of the capacity of the building which could be erected on this spot, to provide accommodation for.

two million and a halt books. The proposed building will, therefore, not be outgrown in fifty years after Its completion. The irregular shape of the plot in this Instance instead of presenting an insurmountable difficulty to the arheitect has actually lent Itself to a most happy solution of the problem, for the provision of separate wings for the accommodation of the diverse functions of the library, 1. its administrative offices, special reading rooms and a stack for the compact storage of books, will add Immensurably to the ease with which the designed building can be administered and will directly contribute to the convenlence of the public and staff of the 11- brary. The shape of the lot also reduced the space which in most buildings of Its size would have to be devoted to hallways, and at the same time the truncated end of the plot provides for a magnificent and imposing entrance hall which, while especially appropriate in a public building of this character, does not detract from the space needed for reading and reference rooms.

In a truly masterly way the interior space has been so apportioned that the rooms provided are symmetrical in shape and there is an even greater absence of irregularity In their shape than at first would appear possible. From the standpoint of a library building none has been planned or erected in this country which makes a more satiefactory provision for the use for which it is intended. The suitability of the site for a library building has been fully and satisfactorily demonstrated and the plans have met with the approval of experts in the designing of such buildings, as well as the Art Commission of Greater New York. Seek Co-operation of Brooklyn League. The appropriateness of the building itself to the particular spot which has been chosen for it will depend upon the future treatment of the whole Plaza.

To this end we would, therefore, ask the hearty co-operation of the Bropklyn League (which comprises so large a number of men deeply interested in the development of our city) effort to secure a restudy of the Plaza itself and the adoption of a plan which may result in the consistent and harmonious development of its possibilities. Specifically we would suggest that as the first and most important step the city be urged to procure the control of the Ninth avenue corner with the Intention of placing upon it at a future date 8 building which shall properly balance the library building on the opposite side of the Park entrance. In this connection I desire to call attenton to the report of Carrere Hastings, to Mayor McClellan: "It Is our opinion that the treatment of the Plaza as it stands to-day is in no sense successful, and the features that have been added to it recently--the arch, the rostral columns and isolated because they are 80 scattered and somewhat out of scale; but we believe that this Plaza can easily be made one of the most beautiful and artistic centres in Greater New York without radical modifications, by the restudy of the entire scheme. The building which it is proposed to erect on this site, and the feature which should balance It would then become, If properly designed, as a part of the remodeled plaza, the most important elements in harmonizing the whole composition and in producing an artistic result. Shall we, the citizens of Brooklyn, unite in an earnest effort to carry out the original intention of those who secured for us this open space in the heart of our city, and provide for the Borough of a Brooklyn a Plaza and civic centre which may compare favorably with the similar centres In Europe? Surely we shall not be held blameless if we allow 80 great an oportunity to be neglected.

Togo -it being the custom In Japan to place the given name second -was born in 1847, the son of a petty retainer of the Lord of Kagoshima, one of the famous nobles of the Satsuma. In Togo's youth the Satsuma contested with the Shogun, or council, which surrounded the Emperor, the supreme power in Japan. The Satsuma were famous for the military prowess of their young men, and it was in the Satsuma navy that Togo began his career.

It was from the navy of the Satsuma, victorious over the Shogun force, that the Imperial Navy of Japan was created. The story of Togo's career is coincident with the birth and growth of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The young cadet had hardly entered th Satsuma navy when he got his first taste of sea fighting. Strangely enough, his first engagement was fought against ships of the English navy, which bombarded the town of Kagoshima, because of the attack upon some British merchants by the Satsuma. The Satsuma fleet returned the bombardment, and young Togo, stripped to the waist, passed ammunition up to the gunners.

In the civil wars of the next few years, in which the Shogunate was overthrown, Togo fought In many of the naval batties, but without especial distinction. With the triumph of the Emperor the forming a necleus of an imperial navy out fthe victorious Satsuma Togo saw we his opportunity.

He ships, applied for and received a commission to go to England to study for a naval career. In 1882 go, then a vice captain, won a present from his government for his services and gallantry in leading a landing party to quell disturbances in Seoul, where the Korean king had permitted insults to the Japanese. In 1884 he WAS sent to observe the progress of the Franco-Chinese war, after which he made a special report to His Imperial Majesty. In 1891 he was placed in command of the Naniwa, the warship from which, three years later, Togo struck the Arst blow of the Chinese-Japanese war. An Incident during his first command nearly closed his career.

At a time when war was expected but not yet declared the Naniwa fell in with a British steamer, loaded with Chinese troops. Togo ordered the British captain to follow him. The Chinese officers on board the transport prevented the captain from doing so, whereupon Togo sunk the vessel with a single shot. Togo's action caused a controversy among the authorities on international law, It being charged that his act was nothing short of murder. Threats of reprisal by England were made and Togo's situation was critical.

Fearful lest his government be unable to support his action Togo made this publie announcement: "It my action should prove fatal to the imperial polley and bring my country Into difficulties I will at once commit barikarl (sulcide). However, it was finally held that he was by the rules of war. Togo came out of the war a Rear Admiral, and received many honors from his sovereign. When Russia Interfered In the peace negotiations, and Japan became convinced that she was being robbed of the fruits of her splendid victory, her rulers foresaw that their nation must Inev tably clash with the Czar in the Orient. To Admiral Togo WAS entrusted the task of preparing the Japanese nary for the which was to come at the and of decade.

The Japanese statesmen were Though the weather was decidedely more comfortable yesterday than it has been for several Sundays, Coney Island was not forsaken by any means. The railroad companies estimated that 000 persons took the trip to the Island, while 100,000 more stopped off at ton Beach. The bathing pavilions did a rushing business and many had to go away without taking a dip into the surf because there were not rooms enough te accommodate all who desired to obtain them. A strong south breeze, which was Just delightful, made the day a pleasant one and no one had to mop his brow or carry his coat under his arm, as was the general order of things on the two Sundays previous. The verandas of the hotels were crowded during the dining hours, as well as in the evenings, and many gathered to hear the band concerts.

Several thousand persons wit fessed a rescue at the Island during the afternoon. Edward Taylor, a negro lad who got out beyond his depth off the Ocean Parkway, raised a cry for help. Luke Koppe was near at hand swam out and brought him to shore and the crowd cheered. Two persons were also injured in a runaway accident. They are: Mr.

and Mrs. Egan, of 365 West Fifteenth street, Manhattan, whose horse got beyond their control while they were out driving on the Ocean Parkway. They were thrown to the street and rendered unconscious. An ambulance surgeon from the Coney Island Hospital removed them to that institution, where it was said their injuries were not serious. Considerable annoyance WAs caused by the change in the method of giving out transters to the Sea Gate line, which was instituted on Saturday.

It has been the custom for men at the ticket boxes where the last ticket Is dropped in the box to supply the transfer slip on demand. Transfers are now given only at the ticket seller's window in the Coney Island stations, when the last fare is paid. When the rush came yesterday the passengers were unaware of the change and demanded transfers after dropping their last tickets into the boxes, only to be told that they must go back to the ticket seller's window. This caused a great deal of contusion, and many paid the extra nickel rather then get into the crush caused by the people going back for transfers, so the railroad company benented as a result.
