NEW YORK, FRIDAY. JANUARY 17, 1919. or CITY CAN GET CONEY SHIP CANAL WITHOUT COST, SAYS BREWSTER Proposes That It Be Made Part of Inter-Coastal System--Mass Meeting to Take Up Plan. "The Coney Island Ship Canal be built," James N. Brewster, an oldtime resident of that section, said today, "without the cost ultimately of a dollar to the city or the State and the investment can be made an immensely profitable one the city.

Under the drainage ditch plan which is now under contemplation by the city authorities the two or three millions cost, it is said, would be saddled on the property owners in the drainage sewer district served by it." Mr. Brewster says that it should be made a part of the intercostal ship canal system to be constructed by the Federal Government and with draw or lift bridges, the floors of which say were 28 or 30 feet above the surface of the water, all barges and tugs would go through without causing them to be opened as is the case of the bridges over the Harlem River. The ships and other masted vessels would go through the Rockaway Inlet. The State, under the Sutherland biti, would buy the land needed for the digging of the canai a width of 200 feet and 200. feet to provide for a 100-foot marginal street on each the north and soutr sides of the canal.

This will be returned to the city after the canal is dug without an expenditure to the municipality. The State would be recouped by selling the lots in the bed of the present winding Coney Island Creek, which would become very valuable upon the completion of the canal. The State has already appropriated $1.000,000 for this purpose. The city should buy a strip at least 300 feet on the north side of the marginal street on the north side of the canal and this can be done under the provisions of the Cullen law. This land can be acquired at from $600 to $800 per lot, the most of it is marshland and it can be filled in with the excavation from the canal.

The city is empowered under the Cullen law to build warehouses or to lease the land to private warehouse men. The land upon its improvement will be worth several times its original cost and the income from wharfage and the warehouses would be a substantial one, making it a first class investment. The filling in would be done by the Federal contractors without the cost of a. dollar to the city. This proposition will be discussed at mass meeting to be held at Stauch's Pavilion, at Coney Island, tomorrow night.

under the auspices of the New York Harbor Island Connecting Canal Association, W. S. Pickard, president. Among the speakers to address the meeting are the following: Commissioner Murray Hulbert. Borough President Edward Riegelmann.

County Judge Marcus Campbell, Representative William E. Cleary. Senator William M. Calder, Melville France and J. Sherlock, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.

Code of Politeness Too Rough for Geismar Nicholas Metzner, a conductor on the B. R. attempted to inject the B. R. T.

code of politeness into proceedings In the Court of Domestic Relations today, where he was arraigned on a charge of abandoning his wife. "Wait minute," said Nicholas to Magistrate, Geismar for the seventh giving his testimony, "I won't wait," fired back the court, bringing his gavel down to emphasize his statement. "I'm not riding on one of your cars, young man. 'Your manners, too, are a bit too rough. I don't wonder your wife doesn't want to live with Mrs.

Metzner, who is pretty and 27, the mother of three children, whom the father now has in his possession, told the court that her husband had left her and taken a conductorette to mother the children. Metzner was found guilty and ordered to pay his wife $5 a week for the period of a year. ADOPTED SON SHARES IN ADRIANCE ESTATE $10,000 Left to Each of Seven Children--Widow Gets Residue. The will of Col. Benjamin Adriance, president the Adriance Machine Company of Brooklyn, was filed late yesterday afternoon in the Surrogate's office.

Col. Adriance, who was a veteran of the Civil War, died at his winter home in Miami, on January 3, 1919. The will is dated January 8, 1915, and is slightly amended by two codicils. Under its terms, an estate given in the petition as $5,000 realty and more than $10,000 personalty is to be distributed among his wife and children. Each of four daughters, and one adopted son will receive two! sons $10,000 and the residue will go to the widow, Mrs.

Jean Adriance, in trust. The daughters are Lillian A. Bowers, Cora A. Millard, Grace Adriance and Maud A. Roe.

The sons named in the will are Adrian D. Adriance and Harold R. Adriance. BenJamin Adriance, the adopted: son, was never legally adopted, shares equally with the other children of the testator. Mrs.

Adriance's share is left in trust to Frank H. Moses and James T. Berney, the executors and trustees of the will, who will pay over the income to her during her life. Should she marry, however, she will receive only one-half as much, and at her death the property will go in equal shares to the surviving children. Col.

Adriance formerly resided on Greene avenue. He was the founder and president of the Arms Company, and when he retired from that business he sold his interest for $2.000,000. The will and probate papers, however, fail to indicate the full extent of the estate. BUSH INTERESTS VIEWED ERIE BASIN No Developments Followed Investigation of Property of Beard Estate, Says Witness. The trial of the issues in the case of the First Construction Company which is endeavoring to secure a reasonable award for land appropriated by the State in Erie Basin, being heard before the Court of Claim in session at the Bar Association Building, was continued yesterday afternoon, and then adjourned until Monday.

At the afternoon session Engineer Greene resumed the witness stand and identified a number of made under his supervision, which show the condition of the appropriated portion of the Erie Basin. of the photographs showed a rock filled crib, small craft anchored in the basin, Erie Basin Yacht Club building, some floating bath houses, some old the wrecks of several buildings, and vessels and scows. Col. Dykeman ohjected to Deputy Attorney General Mone referring to the old buildings and the wrecks as shacks and derelicts The witness was allowed to put his own construction on their condition and he referred to them as dilapidated and unoccupied shacks and the bones of old vessels. Ernest P.

Goodrich, former consulting engineer of the Borough of Manhattan was next called by the State. After showing his qualification as an expert by telling of his many connections with municipal engineering projects and harbor developments in various cities, including Jamaica Bay and the State Barge Canal improvements, Mr. Goodrich testified to his employment by Irving T. Bush as consulting engineer in the Bush Terminal improvement, and that at Mr. Bush's request he had investigated, in 1904, the Beard Estate property in the Erie Basin, with the idea of the Bush interests acquiring the property and connecting it with the Bush Terminal.

but beyond investigating, nothing came of the matter. "About or prior to 1912," asked Mr. Mone of the witness, "did you hear that the Beard Estate or their sue. cessors had forfeited their rights in this property by reason of their not complying with the implied terms of the land grants?" "Well. won't say," replied Mr.

Goodrich, "that the word forfeit was used. but I did hear that there was it cloud on the title." The witness then gave a multiciplicity of methods by which the valuation of property like the Property in question is arrived at, and was about to give his opinion or conclusion as to what he thought the present value' of the appropriated property is, when Judge Ackerson announced that the hearing would be, adjourned until Monday next. The reason for this was due to Charles E. Hughes, one of counsel for the claimants, having' other court engagements for today and Saturday. SHONTS ATTACKS CITY "The present city administration is trying to force us into bankruptcy," said President Theodore P.

Shonts of the Interborough and the Now York Railways Companies at a meeting of twenty -five different civic organizationa representing the boroughs, held in the rooms of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation yesterday afternoon. "They may force receivership, They may bankrupt this rond, but did you ever stop to consider what enlamity this would be? There are $1,320.000,000 in- securities in the electric railroad systems of the State, one two-hundredths of all the invested capital of the country. "They think they can force municipay operation. Do you think they could run this strent organization by a political corporation? I would not want to guarantee the safety of such a service five minutes, and I predict that fares would have to go up to 15 cents to make it pay under such manassement. A 7-cont fare would pay our interest and operating We suggested 8 cente to cove return on the city's investment." a a POLICEMAN, CAUGHT BETWEEN 2 CARS, IS GROUND TO DEATH Rush Hour Crowds Are Helpless Witnesses of Gallagher Tragedy on Flatbush Ave.

The death of Patrolman James Gallagher of the Bergen st. station, ground this morning between two cars of the Flatbush ave. line, was witnessed by hundreds of people who were helpless witnesses of the tragedy, Gallagher was 39 years old, utterly, lived with his wife and two children at 631 59th st. and had been on the force for 12 years. Because of his ex1 emplary conduct 'he was known as the "model cop." He left duty at 8 o'clock this morning and 20 minutes later jumped on a northbound Flatbush ave.

car, at Bergen intending to ride to the nearest elevated railroad station on his way home. The car was packed to the doors and the policeman took a chance. Gallagher jumped on the platform step on the front of the car, and on the inside of the car track. He had not had time to swing open the gate, and his body projected fro mthe car, when a southbound car of the same line came along. It was of the 'hobbleskirt" pattern with a marked overhang on the inside of the track.

At the junction of Fifth and Flatbush aves. the cars going in opposite directions swing closer together than at other points of the road, because of the character of the curve. Charles Zuagof, the motorman of the southbound car, did not notice the danger that the policeman was in before the car struck him. Gallagher was knocked from the step and the body was caught up between the two cars and roiled round about between them until the cars could be brought to a standstill. He had been squeezed between the two cars for almost their entire length.

When the cars were finally stopped his body was still caught between them. A crowd collected and Patrolman Hogan sent out a call for an ambulance and also for a hook and ladder truck, for it was found necessary to cant over one of the cars in order to release the body. Gallagher was probably dead before the cars came to a standstill. The Rev. Fathers Casey and Kelly, curates of.

St. Augustine's Church, crept between the cars and administered the last rites of the Church to the dying man. It was some time before the body was released and great crowd collected, and traflic was held up for a time. Passengers in the car where the man was riding were panic-stricken and many women were seriously affected by the accident. In its passage between the cars the body broke several of the windows, showering glass on the passengers.

Father's Pajama Parade Splits the Read Family Mrs. George B. Read, a fashionably gowned woman of middle age complained in the Court of Domestic Relations today that her husband averse to her entertaining any pany at night because he wanted to sleep. In her black velvet dress, skunk skin cape and large, black picture that she was good look at thought the court room and craned its collective neck and listened attentively to what she had to say. Her husband, a stern-faced, -haired man, listened disinterested while his wife related her woes.

She objected among other things to the father of her three daughters who are now of age parading before her guests in pajamas, much to the family barrassment. On one occasion, she said, he had been rude to a gentleman who was calling the family. "If you didn't want the man in house," interposed the Judge when your Read was testifying, "why didn't you throw him out? You know that the law permits you as the father of a family to thus get rid of unwelcome But Read couldn't see how he could throw out a man much larger than himself. It was arranged that he pay his wife $8 a week for a year. MARTIN BROTHERS KILLED IN FRANCE Lt.

Eno declared today that the arrest of former Captain Sidney Corn of the Personnel Office at Camp Upton on a charge of accepting bribe was the result of an inquiry into a report that wholesale discharges were sold at cantonment. Mr. Eno intimated that more arrests may follow. Ex-Capt. Corn is specifically charged with accepting $250 from ex-Sgt.

Lioyd Mehlig, whom he had discharged. Corn was himself discharged January 3. Corn is 30 years old, married, lives at 926 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, and has a good reputation. He enlisted nearly four years ago. He was a Regular Army officer.

Corn was arrested yesterday afternoon by Military Intelligence officers at Camp Upton. The arrest was made following a disclosure to the camp authorities by Mehlig, who is the son of a jeweler at Broadway and 34th Manhattan. According to affidavits in the hands of Assistant District Attorney Eno, Corn took $250 from Mchlig December 12 and secured him his discharge day following. Information in the hands of the Distr ct Attorney's ollice is to the effect that when Mehlig asked Corn for his discharge Corn intimated that the discharge might be obtained if proper influence could be brought to bear on a friend of his in Washington. Mehlig asked what the "in luence was." "Oh.

$250 and a d'amond scarf it is alleged Corn replied. Mehlig telegraphed his father for $250 and gave it, he avers, to Corn when it arr.ved. He received his discharge the next day. Assistant Prosecutor Eno alleges that Corn boasted he had secured discharges for other men in a similar manner. Before, Federal Commissioner Michael F.

MoGoldrick yesterday afternoon Corn pleaded not guilty through his counsel. REFEREES APPOINTED. BY MANNING. J. Realty Traders ano.

Detectives Conroy and Johnson of Acting Captain Coughlin's staff had two interesting prisoners at the lineup at local headquarters this morning. They were Sgt. J.

Victor Gordon of the Gordon Highlanders, "nine times over the top," as his professional cards put it, and William Wishaw, a ship's cook, both charged with having been concerned in about two score of burglaries in the district, and companions of Kahn and the Flatbush, ex-soldier, Samuel Jackson, who are under indictment for burglary. Gordon had been lecturing all over the country in vaudeville. Gordon and Wishaw were arrested at their room, 202 West 82d shortly before midnight last night, and in their possession were found many articles that have since been identified as the proceeds of burglaries in this borough. Gordon had his kilt uniform among his effects and also 8 typewritten lecture. He had been wounded and gassed and had served, there is no reason to doubt, in some of the heaviest fighting at the beginning of the war.

He told Acting Capt. Coughlin that he never would have thought of taking up burglary as a trade had it not been for a suggestion made to him by Samuel Jackson, the other ex-Canadian Highlander, who had told him that money could be made faster by invading well stocked homes in Flatbush than in traveling around the country gassing about the war. There is another man for whom the police are seeking, and whose arrest will be accomplished before nightfall. He is the ready receiver of the stolen goods. This person is kown in the crooked world its "The King of the Pennyweighters." Gordon and Wishaw told the police about their connection with "the king." He always had a lot of money in his pocket and his payments were invariably ready cash.

And he rather encouraged the soldier burglars in their work. Sgt. Gordon said it was his duty to ring the front bell of a house that was spotted for despoilation. Usually they chose a house that seemed "swell" and where there were 110 lights, or few lights showing. If there was no answer to the sergeant's summons he would report to Sam Jackson, lurking nearby, and Sam would begin operations.

The three men and the boy, now in custody, formed the entire combine, as far as the police have any knowledge, but the receiver was an important element in the game. The police have come into possession of this man's bank book, some of his memorandum books and what may valuable, the key to his prove more safe depost box in a financial institution in Manhattan. An examination will be made and the detectives have an idea that they will find some of the diamond-set jewelery that was stolen from the Flatbush houses in this safe deposit box. The "King of the Pennyweighters" is known to the police Among as the persons who have Idents, Sidney Samuel Loew. fied property as having been stolen homes are William L.
