SIGMA LAMBDA NU DANCE.

Many journeyed from Flatbush to the annual spring dance of the Gamma Chapter of Sigma Lambda Na Fraternity which was held last evening In the As tor Gallery of the Waldorf Astoria. James T. Manchester was chairman of an able James L. Quackenbush, general counsel of the Interborough Railroad Company, whoso request for a seven-cent fare was characterized by William J. Schieffelin, chairman of the Citizens Union, as a political move possibly designed to aid Mayor Hylan's re-election, has sent a reply to Mr.

Schletfellp. Mr. Quackenbush points ont that-his own plea for a 7-cent fare only re-echoes and supplements a similar plea made by George McAneny, president of the Transit Commission, to Governor Miller, March 20, 1921, in which Mr. McAneny said: Of course, it is an attractive thing to say you shall py a five cent fare rather than a seven cent fare. The reference to eight cent I consider, the fancy of someones mind.

None of these things are determined, but let us assume that it will bo six cent or seven cent, or what Is necessary in order to give a fair return for the They aro getting a depreciated service. They are denied the extension of this great system. They are required to pay In tax bills and in rent bills enormous sums to cover the present deficits. Rate. Be Pu-shed.

"Now when It comes to a question of remedy, as we conceive it, the plan of this bill is that there shall be a thorough investigation that no selfishness shall enter Into this determination of what the faro shall be. When the time come that tho fare, whatever it may be, shall caro not only for the operation of these road and the payment of the city rentals and the payment of money to those who, with perfect honecty. loaned money for these enterprises. Hut beyond that, there shall bs a strict limitation of any farther earnings to the figure that we shall call a minimum. Continuing, Mr.

Quackenbush says: "At tho hearing before Commissioner McAroy on December 18, 1924, Mr. McAneny testified: It is costing still today for each passenger carried on the Manhattan Elevated lines 6.4 cent- (8. M. page 202.) At the same bearing. Commissioner Hark-nea on January 8, 1926 testified that to carry a passenger upon the proposed Washington Heights-Eighth avenue subway would cost 8.45 cents to carry a passenger in order not to make a profit but to pay aqfual operating expenses and fixed charge and again these figure I might point out, are'exclusive of deprecia- -tion.

(S. M. page 227). The chief accountant of tbe Transit Commission in February, 1826, computed the cost of carrying a passenger upon the Interborough subway during the fiscal year 1934 at 6.59 cent 'This cost Includes fixed charges upon company and city Investment, but excludes any profit for either city or company. From the foregoing It must be apparent that the.

fare upon the unified line If and when consolidated under the plan of the Transit Commission, will have to be considerably higher than five cents to pay bare costs of service. The conclusion Is inescapable therefore, based upon the estimates of the Transit Commissioners them-selve that passengers using tha rapid transit lines will be obliged to pay more than a flve-cent far Readjusted Its Affair In reply to yoor statement that the proposal of the Interborough company for an Increased fare was untimcly and inept and thrusts the company Into politics as an ally of Mayor Hylan, permit me to point out that the Interborough company re- adjusted its affairs in 1922 in accordance with the plan largely fathered and entirely approved by tbe Transit Commission for the very p-ur-poee of carrying on its operation npon a flve-cent far Two years ago an announcement was made publte that tbe company could carry out its contract without any further request for chang "However, Commissioner McAvoy received a great deal of evidence from the Transit Commissioners ss to the additions and betterments which should be imposed upon the Interborough Company. At the close of the case a memorandum was filed with Commissioner McAvoy in which the willingness of the company to make tbe additions and betterments was asserted, bat it was pointed 8ut that it could not be done without an increased fas "This memorandum was scrupulously withheld from publication in the hope that Judge McAvoy would see the importance of furnishing revenues, if he were to report that additions and betterments should be exacted. It was not until his report had been filed with the newspapers that a copy of the memorandum was also filed. Mr.

Quackenbush recapitulates the demands made on the Interborough In the McAvoy report and reiterates his belief that these recommendations cannot be carried out unless the fare is increased. He also points out that the Interborough fis not opposed to the Transit Commissioners comprehensive plan o( unification.

That In the opinion of Samuel Borowsky, president of the Macha-zike Temple, of Borough Bark, speaking last night at the evening services at the First Congregation ot Kensington, Dltmas avenue and Dahlll road. Mr. Borowsky declared that too often the parent, as soon as the child reaches the age of thirteen, feels himself free of the responsibility of the child, ehd letting -him free to the world, finds that the boy or girl has grown to be a different person than the parent had expected.

Mr. Borowsky advocated that more religious schools and centres be established in the city and that greater stress be brought to bear on the younger generation on the necessity of religious training and the need of spiritual matters. "If one should walk into any house of worship he would see that there are not many young men or women between the ages of thirteen and seventeen there. There are too many other things that take up their time at that age. There are new things they are discovering, and the religious part of their lives are eclipsed by the many other diversions.

The Rev. Dr. Jacob Bosnick, rabbi of the temple, conducted the services which preceded Mr, Borowsky talk. Call of Home Port Dr. Reed's Lenten Topic The Call of the Home Port" was the tppic of the Rev.

Sailors' at sea ever hear the call of the home port, and are always happiest when steering for home, he-aaid, and In the same way the human soul, tossed on the tempestuous waves of the sea of life, is always happiest when directing his frail craft to God.

He compared -Christ to the Polar Star, which is fixecFHn the heaven by God to guide mankind and the human conscience to the compass, whoso needle always points to the true. The last of the services will be held Sunday evening at the Flatbush Congregational Church. UNDUE CEREMONIES IN RELIGION HIT. BY RABBI Declaring that the foundation of religion Is "The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men," Rabbi Max Reichler, of the People's Temple, Bensonhurst, attacked undue ceremonies in all denominations and called for the better understanding of feliowmen. "Just as the sun' may be eclipsed by the moon which reflects Its light, so the light of religion may be eclipsed by the dead and Injurious rites and ceremonies, Rabbi Reichler said.

"Heresy Is as real as cancer and smallpox and more dangerous, Dr. Reichler quoted a Jewish leader. "And no man would contribute to the spread of disease. It is Just as necessary to cure society of heresy as it is necessary to establish hospitals to cure disease. Rabbi Reichler, who announced as his topic What Is Meant By a Spiritual Eclipse, occupied the pulpit of Rabbi Samuel J.

Levinson. A special musical was presented. COMMUNITY CENTRE PLANS. FOR ST. PATRICKS NIGHT An elaborate program will be presented at the entertainment to be given St.

Tho Greater Ridgewood section of Queens County 1 up in arms over tho Queens cemetery bill put forth early this month in the State Senate by Senator Klelnfeld of the Coney Island section. When the various leaders learned of the' bill early thia week they sensed the need of concerted action on tbe part of all the bodies. Last night under the auspices of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce in Ha headquarters, Cypress avenue and Cornelia street, a conference of dvio leaders was held.

FTed C. Lemmerman, president of the Chamber, presided. The principal speakers were Edward N. Kassel, Louis Niedersteln, Alderman James Murtha and Louis J. Sessler.

Senator Kleinfelds measure, which is now before the Senate Judiciary Committee, would prevent' any person, corporation or association from taking any additional land for cemetery purpose but has in it what is claimed to bo a joker to the effect that existing cemeteries have tho right to use for cemetery purposes land taken by properly recorded deed or devise prior to April 1, 1924. 'Among the Interesting arguments brought to light during -the lengthy discussion is that Queens has 26,940 acre or approximately a fifth of ite total acreage, being used for cemetery urpoaes and the claim that the present Klelnfeld measure Is similar to the bill he proposed in the closing hours of last year's session, which wan successfully blocked. It was learned that the Queens Senator John Karle and Peter B. McGarry, as well as Amemblymen Owen J. Dover and Henry Baum are fighting the bill.

It was stated that most every cemetery In the county has property which was acquired prior to April 1, 1924, which could be used If the bill passe The conference will send a resolution to each member of the Senate Judiciary Committee as well as to every Senator and Assemblyman, expressing its and. Nearly all the organizations represented made pledges that they stood ready to send large delegations to Albany If necessary to kill the bill. It was said that even If the bill did get through' there was a strong possibility of a veto by Governor Smith. In 1910 an act known as the Harris bill was presented along somewhat sltnllar lines and Governor Smith, who was at that time minority leader, declared It to be a piece of vicious special legislation. Further protection might be gained from the Home Rule bill, in the opinion of Alderman Murtha.

He said that a bill of this kind would probably have to be sent to Municipal Assembly for Its concurrence and be expressed the feeling that It would not he passed there. Edward N. Kassel declared that Klelnfeld may have an ulterior motive in presenting his bill. South Brooklyn PLAN LEGION POST BALL FOR SHERIDAN K. C.
