STRICKLAND The first presentation in Brooklyn in four years of Wagners "Tann-hauser tv as offered at the Academy of Music last night as the lost but one In the scries of 12 performances this year by the Metropolitan Opera Company.

General Manager Gattl-Casazza, In accordance with Ills plan this year of giving Brooklyn something novel tn practically every one of the ten works presented, made the occasion the medium for Gertrude Kappel to make her debut as Venus, with the organization In New York City. Metropolitan officials believe Mme. Kappel' sang this role In Philadelphia, but never before locally. The Teutonic soprand Is a member of the dramatic contingent and normally should have little difficulty with mezzo tessitura But she has been 111 this season and the effects of this had not worn off prior to last night. The result was that although there waij much muscular effort, there was little tonal outpouring, and of this the texture was thin and rough.

Mr. Bodansky took cognizance of the physical condition of the God desk of Love and restrained his orchestra, but even this did not suffice. Marla Mueller, who is to' sing the role of the Landgrafs daughter this summer at Bayreuth tinder the direction of Arturo Toscanini, had that assignment last night.

Finley, a director of the' Institute for the Crippled and Disabled, is shown above presenting a medal to Stephen Schwartz, 84 State for having walked the equivalent, of 1,000 miles in the past year. Mr. Schwartz is seriously crippled as a result of arthritis and can only walk with great difficulty and slowly. He has worked In the shcl tered worlfroom of the institute, 245 East 23d Manhattan, for three years, walking from his home to the subway In Brooklyn and across 22d st In Manhattan, regardless of rain. slush, snoiv or heat.

Milbank, treasurer. ot March, mostly from pneumonia, says Mr. OBrien, who certainly knows hts animal statistics and characteristics.

To keep an elephant healthy and happy In winter months, It is necessary for them to stay In a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees. Ever since Topsy, who was a gift of the Brooklyn Times readers, and Judy came to Prospect Park Zoo last summer it has been a problem for Head- is nan oeen a proDiem ror BAR HEAD TO HELP DAVIS PRAISES neaa-, rsT, AT keeper OBrien to find suitable quar Richard Indicated, Miss Mueller add swinging her massive trunk to the desired angle and gobbling down the bag. Come arounjj and see us when we are In our new home. Ill remember you all right. An le phant never forgets.

All of which means that Topsy and Judy are all exelled about the Park Departments plan to build an elephant house In the Zoo. The engineering office has drawn up plans for a concrete house, 20 by 40 feet, to be placed opposite 'the lions house. The plans will be submitted to the Board of Estimate. If approved, the contract will be advertised tn two or three weeks and tho bids let In about a month. And it all goes well the parks two elephants ought to be In their own home some time in May when the circus comes to town.

The roof of the new building will be high enough to allow for trunk swinging calisthenics and will have central heating. Winter weather is hard on elephants, according to the headkeeper. Ninety per cent, of elephant deaths occur In the month SUSPECTS SEIZED NEAR CHAIN STORE Pets of Prospect Park Zoo Will Be Provided With Snug Winter Quarters. By ALICE COGAN Topsy, the Brooklyn Times very own godchild, and Judy, her little pachyderm playmate, out at Prospect Park Zoo, want a home of their own. All they ask is a nice, chummy little place about 40 by 20 feet where they can swing their trunks about In peace and comfort and enjoy themselves as all self-respecting lady elephants should.

A cozy home of their own, perhaps with a bit of a fire to keep harsh wintry blasts from penetrating their delicate hides. At their winter quarters in the Prospect Tark storeroom, where Headkeeper John J. O'Brien has been forced to house his elephant guests because It Is heated, Topsy and her little pal seemed quite pleased to chat about plans or a ed more of the -woman and less of the royal princess to her Interpretation. fijie was not as dynamic and dominating as some other Elisabeths, hut the young fresh voice, even If somewhat taut, was attractive and she looked thoroughly in character. Mr.

Laubenthal once more was the renegade and once more stqod literally upon his head as he was transported from the Venusberg to the forest of Thuringia. OncevupOn a time, he fell at the feet of the goddess when she permitted him to return earthwards and discovered him- tors for them. He accommodated his rather large guests temporarily In the sheep fold, but what with their trunk-swinging athletics and other sports the elephants soon tore down the roof of tho old building. The celling was mended and made higher and these quarters proved adequate until the cold weather when the elephants were paraded across the Long Meadow and put in the basement of the storeroom on the Prospect Park West side of the park. This Is all very comfortable, but as Topsy says, it Isnt their own home and they are far away from 5 many years ago.

He has forgotten the other animals. With the Women Voters F. L. Gross Sends His Offer to Republican and Democratic County Leaders.

The letter, on Department of Labor, Offico of the Secretary, Washington, stationery, reads as follows: how to genuflect and posits himself in a most unbecoming position. And vocally he was again hts blustering self. i Incidentally the vision of Europa last night became alive as the stagehands and.

Hasselmans. By MARIE FRUGONE From impressions received at, the joint Senate and Assembly hearing tn Albany on the Women Jurors Bill before tho Judiciary Committee, Brooklyn women are hopeful of a favorable report, for one reason, because the man who presided, Senator Caleb Baumes favors the bill and also because no dissenting voice was heard at the hearing. A stumbling block, women report Is Senator Fearort ot Syracuse who for years has helped to keep bill from reaching the Legislature. Of the Brooklyn women who made ft plea for the bill, was Mrs. Ernest W.

Boyce, leader or the League of Women Voters In the Ninth A. who declared that the 600 petitions handed In from her dis trlct were from home women, Not demanding their rights but asking to do their duty as citizens and voters. 45 45 45 At the theatre and dinner party gtvert bv the 12th A.

you know and pretty soon sho will be having young men callers, and where could we entertain in this place? Topsy looked disdainfully around the crowded storeroom, which was never Intended to bo an elephants mansion, "Of course. Mr. OBrien has done the best he could for us, continued Topsy, but we want a place of our own. You know how two women feel about that sort of thing. Its all very nice to have other folks put you up, but no matter how comfortable you are.

It just isnt your own place. Besides we have Judy's social life to consider. What about your own? the reporter ventured timidly. (Topsy is 40 years old and 11 feet tall used to perform In Mr. Ringlihg's cirrus).

"Yes, yes. quite so, reflected Topsy: some of my old circus friends might -come calling in the spring, and where could I put them UP? Well Just have to get a new place. There isn't room to serve a peanut around herp." Here, have another peanut," said, the reporter, who had come pre pared. Dont mind If I do, By WILLIAM I. HURLEY With the mention bt Gov.

Roosevelt In hie speech at the National Democratic Club yesterday that he was certain tho legislation providing for a reorganization of the Judiciary svlth Increased facilities would be passed, confidence was expressed in local politlcalQcIrcles that the proposed addition of six or eight Supreme Court Justices In the Second District was Included In his reference, Tho talk of candidates for places, with the number brought up to eight, Is spreading so as to bring In lawyers from Queens, Nassau and Suffolk on the division of the additional members between Republlearis and Democrats. The belief Is that the ratio almost certain to be agreed upon by Leaders McCooey and Stelnbrink Is five Democrats and 'three Republicans. Justice Cropsey Is certain to be named by the two parties, thus making nine to bp elected next fall. Nearly every lawyer whose name ha mentioned at any time, either In the news or talked of In the county clubhouse, Is among the Democratic possibilities. Then, too, It Is known that a number of the County Court Judges have openfy expressed a desire to be promoted to the higher court.

Although 5fthey now receiving salary of $22,500 a year they cling to the ambition of all members of the bar to go to the higher court McLaughlin a Candidate It Is well known that County Judge Alonzo G. McLoughlin was a candidate last fall and Judge George W. Martin has had a hankering for years to go over to the main court building. The terms of Martin, McLoughlin and Franklin Taylor do not expire until 1941 so that It may be that McCooey would be adverse to taking them away from their present places with each having a term of nearly 11 years yet to Berve. Even Algeron I.

Nova has until 1939, whllo the term of W. Bernaijd Vause, the other member of the quintet, expires this If he Is not one ot the candidates foC 'Supreme Court, it Is said said he will be endorsed In tho regular order of things this fall for his present post by both parties. Another angle Is he may be promoted to make way for John II. McCooey, whose many friends are urging Ids selection -as a tribute to the long leadership of his father who, they say, would be proud to have a son on the bench. Names mentioned almost daily as due for real consideration are District Attorney George E.

Brower, F.dward Ward McMahon, who made the run nearly eight! years ago with four other Democrats three of whom are now on the bench, Scudder, Dru-han and Humphrey, and the other, like McMahon, a talked of candidate for a place next fall former Federal Judge Edwin L. Garvin. There Is also a possibility that Samuel A. Telsoy, well known In the 1 6th A. or Joseph Baker, recently re-electod head of the Jewish Hos- Ipltal, may be on the Democratic ticket, Benjamin Rlbmaji, president-of the Unity Club.

Is also being mentioned, while County Judge Novaa friends feel that he lias a leg op the place because of the fact that ho Is now the only member of his race In the County Court About Others. Just how the other counties In the Second Judicial District will fare In the slate appears to have been lost sight of, although the Republicans have been talking of former Judge Frank S. Gannon of Richmond, who has made many sacrifices for his party tn his own. county whloh is overwhelmingly Democratic. If two ot the places go to Kings County men such ah thdse already mentioned.

former Justice Stephen Callaghan and former Stale Senator William Thorn Simpson of the 12th A. D. 'will get them. -Word from a very authoritative source reached here last night, that G. Wilbur Doughty.

Republican leader of NaS-1 sau, already has made it known that 1 he will withdraw rII opposition to the Justices' bill only If he can place his county Judge. Lewis J.

the Harvey and De Bragga troupe are said to be solidly In back id Edgar Hazelton forgone of the places In the event the. county receives any recognition at all. The Democratic situation there Is almost similar to that of their Republican neighbors. It Is not felt that Democratic County Leader John Theofel will be consulted at all In advance of the nominations as' to a choice, but friends of Thomas W. Downs, who was a red hot candidate for the post 'of Children's Court Judge, are making ready to force the leaders into a little action, on behalf of his candidacy.

Hta friends say that he stepped aside willingly when asked to do so by Tammany leader Curry when he was advised that former MayorHy-Inn had to be takers care of for his withdrawal from the mayoralty primary and that ha would get his reward latr. Downs -was a Brooklynite before he moved to St. Albans and Is well known to the Democratic organisation leaders here.
