THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, 3IONDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1919. 16 VITAL RECORDS The Woman Voter i 2 DIE IN GUN FIGHT OVER SONGS' MERITS Long List of Heard from Boro Boys Through Paris SOLDIERS AT BREST WAIT HOURS IN MUD, BUT CANT GET FOOD "LIE," SAYS MAYER OF HEM'S CHARGE; NO JOB OFFERED The Republican Bulletin of the Eleventh Assembly District for Feb- Tuary contains a brief resume of the important bills taken up in the Legislature through January with the members presenting them. Assemblyman George J.

Braun of the 20th A. D. Introduced five bills pertaining to public welfare. Senator Charles Russell of East New York introduced the transportation measure of the woman's legislative program, which was framed by Miss Helen McCormick, Assistant District Attorney. This bill prohibits the employment of women under 21 on railroads, or for more than six days a week, and between 10 p.m.

and 7 a.m. There is opposi. tion to this on the part of many workers themselves on the ground that if women have to be specially considered to hours the railroads will not bother with them, but will employ men, who are under no such restrictions. Mrs. Leonora Z.

Meder, who has entered the campaign for the Mayoralty of Chicago claims to have been "first" in many civic measures during her administration as Commissioner of Pubic Welfare. The list includes the first muncipal dance, municipal lodging house, municipal woodpile, neighborhood garden, cheap bread, milk station. Municipal Employment Bureau, and many child welfare measures. Her plan Is, if elected, to "choose the men and women with the biggeBt brains and most experience for the big Jobs." How many Brooklyn women are there who have been and what have they done for the community? Let us hear from them. Chicago has nothing on Brooklyn for civic work of women.

A Brooklyn woman who has been one of the "firsts" Is Mrs. Rebecca C. Talbot-Perkins. She was the first woman 'to open her own real estate business Just twenty-nine years ago this week. She was one of the first to ride a bicycle, and in the first group of women to put women probation officers in the court's.

She was also the first woman to apply for Jury duty and hopes to be the first to serve as a trial Juror in Kings County. She was the second woman in Kings to be appointed notary public. At the ladies' night of the Tenth Assembly District Republican Club tomorrow night 'Municipal Court Justice Edgar Doughty will preside and give a talk on the Municipal Court. The Eleventh Assembly District Republican Club will hold a dance and card party at the club house tomorrow night. The fourth lecture of the Woman Suffrage party series tonight at the the Training School, for Teachers will be on "Public Ownership" by Professor Charles Zueblln.

Mrs. William A. Prendergast will preside. The Women Lawyers' Association has' indorsed the bill recently Introduced-in the Legislature for mandatory Jury dyty, for women the same rules as men. Women's political meetings tonight: First A.

The Rev. Ira WV Henderson, pastor of the Sands Street Memorial M. E. Church, will succeed 'the Rev. William F.

Kettle as assistant pastor of the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis in Ply- mouth Church. Mr. Henderson was The Rev." Ira W.

Henderson. offlcUiHy invited yesterday afternoon and he at once accepted. The position was offered to him pome days ago and at a nieeting of the Committee of Plymouth Church on Saturday night it was deecided to Call him. Mr. Henderson told his congregation at the close of the service last night that he would not return to the pastorate there after the sessioins of the New York East Conference, which will be held in Simpson Church, beginning April.

9. Ho had decided upon this some time ago, put lt was not known that he was to leave the'denomination. Dr. Hillis, In speaking of the call to Mr. Henderson, said he was glad to have him accept, but he would not have been sought if It had not been known that he had decided to leave the community, and as he was known on the Heights nnd was highly respected there and by the people of Plymouth, he might as well remain in that community and continue his good work.

Mr. Henderson caine to Brooklyn frnm a T'reshvtprinll llilstnrn.te ill Huf- falo and at the time of his entering the Methodist ministry, ten years ago, when he joined the New York East Conference at its sessions in Stamford, he was pastor of the Irving Square Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn.

Mr. Henderson's first pastorate after going to the Methodist denomination was nt Patehogue, after which he went to Bay Shore. He was called back to Patehogue, but decided to accept the pastorate of the Sands Street Church, where he has been doing most successful work for six years. FATHER BELFORD SPEAKS AT ORPHEUM T. R.

SERVICE Memorial services were held yester- "a- morning for Col. Theodore Koosc veil at tnc nrpneum ineaier. Reels of motion pictures showing places in connection with his life, such as his home, various State buildings, the anania canal, pnotograpns oi inia- self and family and of his funeral were shown Mrs. Anna L. Duffy, soloist of the Church of the Assumption, sang "My God and Father While I Stray," and Joseph A.

Scanlon of the Paulist Choristers, "Face to Face," "The Star-spangled Banner" and "Nearer, My God, to Thee" were sung by the audience, led by Dr. James J. AlCLaDe. The address was bv the Rev. John L.

llelford, rector of the Church of the Nativity. Father Bedford said in part We arc gathered todny to do honor to a real patriot the kind of a man who hud no thought of self nnd a real love for his country. His ideas enriched his generation. Ho was a man who had many enemies, not only bitter, but active. Thnt very fact was a real testimony to his worth.

No man who has no enemies Is worth much. He was as proud of his enemies as of his friends, and never minded making them. "His Industry was simply beyond belief. He wur tireless, full of energy, which he Imparted to all who came near him. He had absolutely no sympathy with the mollycoddle." Later he said: "lt was most unfortunate Hint upon his return from Africa he went again Into politics.

Soni say he thrust himself into it that is not true. He was dragged Into It against his belter Judgment. It cost him many friends many of those who had been closest to him. But he lived long enough to see those animosities die down." Eagle Bureau. 53 Rue Cambon.

The commanding officer of the BROOKLYN BOYS HOME ON TWO TRANSPORTS France and 'North Carolina' Bring Local Veterans Among 6,500 Returning Soldiers. "Five thousand fighters, responsible for Germany's darkest hour, returned on the steamship France yesterday. As the huge liner warped Into her pier the band on the dock swung into "Rock-a-Bye, Tour Baby to a Dixie Melody," and the snow-white teeth of the happy darkies showed plainly their appreciation. They couldn't keep their feet still, while the music was playing-, and the officers as well as privates displayed the rhythmic mo- tlons of their hips and the agility of their feet in dancing groups all over the deck.

Never did a cheerier crowd ever return to its native land. The boys from" the Sunny South bring back a wonderful record. They possess 1 32 men with citations, as well as a countless number with war crosses. The regiment never had a prisoner taken, although they took some 400 Germans themselves. The hardest hikes and the worst fights never dimmed the glow of the boys' radiant smiles.

Their black. laughing faces had more than once struck a strange terror into the heart of the Boches. The 869th and 370th, that was their Federal nomenclatures, will always be remembered In New York as the "Gallant 16th," or the "Black Watch." Many local men were In. her ranks. The boys from Brooklyn and Long la-land were as follows: Bugler Chester Moore of 11 Willoughby st, showed proudly a bullet dent in his trench helmet, He said that a shot and hit is "tin derby" and bounded off, striking a lieutenant in the heart.

Writing of the conditions to which American soldiers are subjected at Brest, France, Miss Frances Williams, a Brooklyn girl, who is doing Y. M.

C. A. work in France, has written a nummber letters to her mother. Airs. James 11.

Williams, telling of the melancholia, which is fast overcoming the men, due. to a lack of shelter and to close confinement to camp, and of the crowding 'of more than 70,000 soldiers Into quarters originally built for 20,000. Miss Williams, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James II.

Williams; of 6 Pierrepont Brooklyn, now of Manhattan, went to France to take charge of a hut which was erected In memory of her brother, Lt. Earl T. Williams, who was accidently killed last The memorial hut was originally established at Angers, but a recent order of the French Government commandeered it, obliging Miss AVilllams and her assistants to remove to BreBt, where another hut was promised her in exchange for the one at Angers. In other letters of recent date she has- told of the difficulties under which food Is obtained. Sometimes, she says, the men have stood for hours in mud and water up to their knees, then upon getting to the mess kitchen were told that the day's supply was gone.

Letters Filed Wwith Senate. The letters from Miss 'Williams are to be placed with Senator William M. Calder as an addition to the evidence now filed with the Senate, where an investigation has been started. In a letter dated February 10, Miss Williams writes asi follows: "The army camp is about four miles out of Brest, and is crowded beyond words really it is a most serious con. dltion, for they can't begin to take care of the men who are here.

They keep coming in by the thousands from other parts of France, and of course there are not nearly enough ships to take them back. "We went out to the camp immediately after our arrival here, and had lunch at the Y. M. C. A.

mess, in a little hut that was formerly Napoleon's headquarters. It Is known to be the most frightful section in all France for rain and mud. The men sleep in little tents that are in fields of mud and water, but half the time a storm will blow the tents down, leaving the boys without shelter. "I saw in a New York- paper recently that Secretary Bnkcr was going to investigate the conditions here and I sincerely hope it is true. There is also a rumor that Gen.

Pershing is coming today for the purpose of investigating, There are said to' be 70,000 soldiers here, so of course Y. M. C. A. work is most needful In Brest, although the men are only permitted to leave the camp, which is such a short distance away, every two weeks.

Camp May ne Condemned, "There are all kinds of rumors that the entire camp will be condemned, but no one knows anything definite, and there are just as many opinions that it will be quite permanent. We have been quite distressed to decide about our hut I know it will fill a tremendous need even if nothing more is done than to furnish a roof over the boys' heads, for the conditions they are living under are pitiful, and from what I hear, they are Just on the verge of melancholia. "Their clothes are never dry, and it is almost impossible to feed such a tremendous number of men. I have heard of Reveral tragedies in the last few days, and It makes me feel very sad to think of our men suffering so terribly now that the. war is over.

We are planning to make our new hut here very attractive, and surety there is no place in France where the need for it is greater. "The Y. M. C. A.

in planning for three more adultoriums, but I think they are too late with the work. The Red Cross is also putting up huts for officers only I went to see one that is finished, finding it very attractive. There are only two hunts here now, and the next one will not be ready for another month, as It hasn't even been started yet."

February 10 Levi Mayer, counsel for J. Ogden Armour, denied emphatically and flatly, be. fore the Senate Agriculture: Commit-tee today, that ho had offered employment with the big packers to Francis J. Henoy, who is conducting the examination of packers witnesses before the committee. He read a telegram- from Frank P.

Walsh, who Mr. Heney said Mr. Mayer told him had been marie a similar offer, stating he had heard nothing of it. Mr. Heney, who made the charge before the committee Saturday, was not present until alter Mr.

Mayer had made his preliminary statement. The telegram from Mr. Walsh in St. Louis was sent, Mr. Mayer said, without his request, "This Is the statement of an honest man," the witness added, "in contrast with this clumsy, transparent, dishonorable and unprofessional lie of Mr.

Heney." Mr. Mayer remarked that Mr. Heney had charged the alleged offer was made January 24, and questioned the propriety of his not having made it public before if it were true. He said he was not In the city when the charge was made and consequently was not able to answer It then. Mr.

Walsh's telegram was read as follows: "The Associated Press asked me for comment upon Mr. Heney's statement of Saturday, which 1 gave as follows: 'While 1 can claim a very pleasant acquaintance with Mr. Mayer, he never offered me employment in Chicago or elsewhere, and this does not Imply that he might not have done so with perfect propriety or that 1 might not have accepted or declined the same with like propriety." Mr. Mayer then read a letter he said he wrote President Wilson on January 11, 1918, when the Federal Trade Commission, with Mr. Heney as its counsel, was investigating the business of the packers.

In it he charged that Mr. Heney was then trying to undermine public confidence in the meat industry and that the packers were not permitted to call or cross examine witnesses. A letter from former Governor Colquitt of Texas, denying any contribution, was made by the packers to his campaign, to his knowledge, was read by Chairman Gore. $13,000,000 FOR ALASKA ROAD.
