Sentiments of Her Many Admirers Written on Fence in llrooklvn Heights Hyway Led to Its Getting Its Romantic Name By Al'RK E. Mc Love Lane, that odd little narrow byway that is hidden away on Brooklyn Heights, running between Henry and Hicks might be classed by a passerby with no romance In his soul as an alley, but those who like to think Many Parts of World Represented at Lam-heth Conference London, July 7 (IP) The Lambeth Conference of the Church of England, in which 300 bishops and archbishops from many parts ot the world have a part, was well begun today on its long secret labors, in the course of which opinions will be handed down on matters of controversy in the Church. A note of Oriental splendor was Introduced at the opening of the conference yesterday by the Patriarch Meletlos of Alexandra, the so-called "Second Pope," robed in pure white, who headed a procession of bearded, black-robed clergymen of the Eastern orthodox delegation. Urges End to Disputes All the participating archbishops ana bishops joined in the holy com munion In the inaugural service at Bt. Paul Cathedral.

It was pre ceaea oy tne litany, sung in a pro cession which the Archbishop of Canterbury led. The procession filed out of the south rom of th3 cathe dral, re-entering by the great main entrance to take seats for the remainder of the service. The Archbishop of York delivered the inaugural sermon, stressing the need for churchmen to keep minor disagreements on Church routine out of the way of the great issue of religion; that is, faith in the living God. The conference will last several weeks. Although serret, its labors will be reported from time to time in official statements.

Somber Black Now Is Worn at British Wcdd nigs Old Days of Colored Attire Seem to Have Passed for the Moment Why do women guests at fashionable weddings nowadays Invariably wear black clothes? asks a woman in the London Daily Mail. Not one congregation In the rush of marriages at West End churches since Easter could be described as colorful, and even at the recep tions, where wraps are discarded, there was an almost entire absence of the light, dainty frocks and pic ture hats which used to be consid erea tne only possible wear at a marriage feast. Well-known women accounted in their own particular circles as well dressed choose black satin or georgette beautifully cut and fashioned, certainly for nearly every social function today. They complete the ensemble with a hat which has touches of ivory or cream, or by addim a spray of white flowers to the lapel of a coat or the corsage of a gown. Collar of Snowy Fox The Countess of Oxford and As-quith has been wearing unrelieved black at nearly every function she has lately attended, and the Marchioness Curzon of Kcdleston, who is always smartly gowned, will relieve a black coat with a collar of snowy fox and allow just a band of white In her hat for a wedding and yet wear the daintiest of colors at a race meeting.

Princess Bismarck, one of the most fashionable women In the diplomatic set, dresses a great deal in black and white, as also do the Countess of Carlisle and Viscountess Chaplin. So accustomed have the lookers-on at weddings become to guests in dark clothes, indeed, that when a woman who followed the old custom and wore a smart colored gown and a hat with feathers to match it at a wedding the other day. she attracted nearly as much attention as the bride herself. The vogue for dark colors and ordinary clothes for weddings has grown up in the last few years. A dark coat and skirt would never have been seen before the war, as would any but white or very light gloves.

Now one sees barely half a dozen plrs of white kid gloves at a wedding, and those are worn by women who belong to the older generations. TRAINING CAMP Killing Two on Barren Island Student and Teacher Victims 7 Others Die Accidents in Air in Police Investigating the alrpian crash yesterday which killed an instructor and his pupil at Floyd Bennett Field today accepted as official cause for the accident the story of trained observers who said the plane, in landing, failed to come out of a flat spin and that the controls apparently Jammed. This accident, which came just before the sudden shower about 4:30 In the afternoon, was one of several reported from various parts of the country in which nine lives wer lost. John W. Gorman, 40, of 1327 K.

2d Brooklyn, was the instructor who died. His pupil was Martin Wllsker of 1350 1st Manhattan. Gorman was Instantly killed, and wsikker. who was nicked out of the plane's wreckage unconscious, died before he reached Mayflower Hospital, Nearly 4.000 persons saw the accident. There had been a great many planes in the air, but the oncoming shower drove them to the ground.

The pilots were all racing for safety when the Barling plane which Gorman was driving dove Into the ground at the northeast corner of the new airport. Crowd Breaks Through Pilots ran to help, and the crowd, poorly policed because of the difficulties In reaching the airport, brok through the lines. When ambulances and emergency wagons wers called they had great difficulty picking their way to the scene. Former Lt. E.

A. Bell, now a pilot of passenger planes, told the story which was later accepted as official. He said he saw the Barling plane come down and said that either the controls Jammed or the student "froze" to the controls when he saw his danger. There was no fire after the crash, because Gorman, apparently realizing what was about to happen, had switched off his motor. Gorman, agent for the plane he was driving, was an experienced instructor, and Wllsker was one of his best pupils.

Gorman was a close friend of "Buddy" Bushmeyer, the parachute Jumper who lost' his Ufa in a plane crash at Hicksville, I-recently. Three Killed In Crash At Ruthven, Iowa, a plane banked preparatory to landing and crashed from a 50-foot altitude. Kenneth Wilson, 20, the pilot, Sioux City, Iowa, was killed Instantly. Vera Hughes, 17, Ruthven passenger, and Ernest Southworth, 24, mechanic, Sioux City, were fatally injured. Making her first leap, Mary Fahrney, 18-ycar-old society girl in Oak Park, a Chicago suburb, caught her parachute In the plane and dangled 1,000 feet in the air for nearly two hours.

After one ship unsuccessfully tried to lower a rope ladder, Bruno Schustek, professional parachute Jumper, shinnied down a 75-foot knotted rope from another plane. Just as he reached Miss Fahrney, her parachute became disentangled and she floated to a perfect landing. Hundreds below watched Schustek try to climb up the knotted rope. They saw him slip slowly, then drop to his death. Blazing an air route from Chicago to Mackinac Island.

Survey Reports Illiterates Can lie Apt Pupils A.lult Takes 100 Honrs to Child's 3,000 to Finish Three Elementary Year One of the facts discovered by tht Illiteracy Commission appointed by President Hoover last fall Is that an illiterate man be taught to read and write in 30 hours and can be put through the first three elementary grades in 100 hours. It require 3,000 hours for a child to acquire the same amount of education. "To my mind," says a member of that commission, "there are five defects In the present educational evs. tpm- In the first place, It Is too hap- "Hzara second, It supplies children with no motive for studvin hard 'hlrd, children are unable to criticbe and evaluate what they studv; fourth, the power to criticize and evaluate cannot be developed In a lld because the child does not pos.

power is based; and finally, th things a man learns before he Is 20 are out of date by the time he Is 30. "On second thought, that seemi too literal an interpretation of th educator's remarks. In the 3.000 hours the child takes to go through the first three elementary grades he Is learning much more than reading and writing. Character and habits mid adjustments to the social group are as important in the early school years as the three R's. But it Is fins to know that a person who Is denied schooling in childhood can learn so quickly and well in, adulthood." Over Weekend More Than 2,000,000 Returning Vacationists Clog Transportation Nearly New Yorkers, about one-third the city's population, were back at their routine tasks today after spending the three-day weekend holiday afforded by the Fourth of July at out-of-town shore and country resorts.

Schwartz clutched the boy about the neck and both were carried out in the undertow, Lifeguards Simon Margolin, country and the scarcity of money affected the conces- sions and amusement parks of Coney Island? Big Concessionaires Optimistic Answers to this query vary in the Island. Discounting the smaller concessionaires, such as hot-dog venders, soda dispensers, small "game of skill" outfits, who are always Inclined to grumble and complain about financial conditions near the surf, one must go to the more substantial Individuals who control the larger portions of the island for the answer and the reply from them is an optimistic one as to Coney Island's prosperity this year. The two large amusement parks in the island, Luna and Steeplechase, claim to be doing normal business.

At Luna Park the management has been experimenting with prices for some time and has lowered the gate admission fee. Several rides in the park, which formerly called for a 25-cent charge, now can be had for 15 cents, and the 15-cent rides have been lowered to 10 cents. Bargain Days at Luna They have bargain days in Luna Park now, and children are admit ted free provided they are with their parents. Thursday is a bargain day when all the prices on rides are low ered. Last year there was a charge for the youngsters.

E. B. Merritt, general manager of Luna Park, feels that children are a good advertise ment in the park and at home," and that, once children are admitted, they will spend money. On some rides in Luna Park, the more popular ones, business so far this year has been a shade better, according to Mr. Merritt.

One ride, "The Chutes," is ahead 22 percent this year as compared with the figures of last year for the same period. The "Circle Swing" is also ahead this year. Further evidence that business Isn't as bad as It's generally painted is the fact that the bookings of parties at the parks are slightly better this year. Summing up the situation at Luna, Mr. Merritt states, "We are very well satisfied with conditions so far." Steeplechase Prices Stationary George Tilyou, treasurer of Steeplechase, asserts that business at his park is good.

The admission price at Steeplechase is the same as last year's. There has been no tinkering with price scales here. At Feltman's, the largest popular restaurant in the island, no lack of depression has been felt. Alfred Feltman declares business this year is as good as the preceding season which was the best in many years. Incidentally, more near beer is sold at Feltman's' now than real ARMY STUDENTS beer was in the days before prohibition.

Apparently, the only thing which worries the Coney Island business man is not the problem of prosperity, but the fickleness of old man sunshine. Let the orb of day shine and the cash registers in Coney Island will surely ring madly prosperity or no prosperity. Organ Pipes Big Enough for Boy To Lie Down In New Instrument at St. Paul's, London, Ready for Brooklyn Visitors Brooklyn visitors in London this summer will hear after a silence of nearly a year the organ of St. Paul's Cathedral," which has been almost entirely reconstructed.

The remoa- eled instrument is said to be one of the finest in the world. Improvements include the replacement of the obsolete pneumatic mechanism by the latest all-electric connection, which will greatly speed up the control, and the installation of a new reed stop of tremendous power, the first of its kind in Britain. Henry Willis," a grandson of the builder of the old organ, who has been in charge of the reconstruction, said: "Miles of electric wire and special alloys of precious metals have been used, and the 5,000 pipes in the organ, some of which are big enough for a boy to lie down in, have been thoroughly cleaned. "One of the most delicate jobs has been the replacement of the beautiful casework and carving. To get every berry and leaf back in its right place has been a wont of art.

"The most important job has been the replacement of the old mechanism, which dated from 1872, when my grandfather cut the organ in half and put the two sections on either side of the chancel, with a pneumatic tube connecting them under the floor a wonderfully bold thing for the time. Nowadays we think nothing of separating the organist by as much as 70 feet from the Instrument, owing to the rapid response of the new machinery. The new high-power stop, the trompette militaire, will sound Impressively in the dome, which will act as a "mixing bowl." TAKING OATH AT Brian O'Hara'and Leo Masserecs rescued them. Others rescued at the Rockawavs included Mrs. Celian Waldman, 45, of 79-97 Amstel Boulevard, Arverne.

and Julia O'Grady, 19, of 33-23 72d Jackson Heights. At Howard Beach Miss Margaret Sagino, 19, and her sister, Gllda. 6. of 291 Bergen Brooklyn, nearly drowned when the child fell into a deep hole and her sister tried to save her. They were rescued by Lifeguards Howard Lavelle and Paul Collins.

Congestion Cause Accidents Scores of minor automobile acci dents occurred as drivers, Impa tient at the snail pace necessitated by the congested streams of traffic, tried to dart farther along the line as small openings tempted them forward. Dozens were injured, most of them only slightly, in these mishaps. Samuel Vincent, 21, of 1454 Ocean and Morris Schwarz, of 97-30 104th Richmond Hill, are in Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, with injuries suffered when their car collided in Ozone Park with a machine driven by Louis Farrarra of 2451 Woodbine Brooklyn. Man and Wife Hurt Salvatore Cordaro, 35, of 2072 E. 70th Brooklyn, and his wife, Rose, 32, are in the Atlantic City Hospital today with injuries suffered in an automobile accident near Pleasantville, N.

in which; Mrs. Cordaros sister, Mrs. Anna Pasco, 25, of Minotola, N. was fatallv injured. Lillian Fisher, 20, of 133-10 34th Jamaica, and George Wilson, 28, of 453 46th and Henry Krunlidlo, 29, of 216 Logan Brooklyn, were treated at the Flushing Hospital for injuries suffered in a collifion at Old South Road and 146th Jamaica.

They were riding with John Redham of Jersey City when his car collided with one driven by Charles Scan- field of 210-3? Washington Ave, Springfield, L. I. Mrs. Haakon Hansen, 45, of 35-41 94th Jackson Heights, was taken to Columbus Hospital suffering from shock and contusions. A taxicab forced to the left side of the road on the Speedway at 177th Manhattan, ran into the car operated by her husband and another machine.

Morgan was held for driving while intoxicated. Patrolman John McAvey, 32, of 88-30 214th Queens Village, L. seriously Injured his neck yesterday when he dived from a high spring board into the water at Pelham Bay Park, the Bronx. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital. Maine Receives Autographs of 1898 Notables Valuable Collection Given hy Two Damariscotta Residents to the State By the gift of Mr.

and Mrs. Ber-trand D. Knight of Damariscotta, through Secretary of State Edgar C. Smith, an Intimate friend of Mr. Knight, the State of Maine has become the possessor of a very valuable collection of autographs ol notables of the Spanish War period.

The collection is in the form of a pillow, the top of which consists or irregular patches of silk, each- bearing a pen-and-ink signature. Autograph pillows were much in vogue between 30 and 35 years ago, but it seems likely that but few devotees of the hobby could have assembled such an imposing array of names as this. Among the illustrious names are those of Admirals Dewey, Schley and Sampson, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Theodore Roosevelt, W.

J. Bryan, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Vice President Garreth A. Thomas B. Reed.

Clara Barton, famous head of the American Red Cross; Gen. Joe Wheeler of the Civil War and Spanish-American War fame, Secretary of War John D. Long, Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister; George M. Sternberg, Surgeon General of the United States; Richard A. Aleger, Secretary of the Navy; Governor Roger Walcott of Massachusetts and Capt.

Francis A- Higgins, com mander of the battleship of Brooklyn Heights as It was- a century ago can see the lovers of a bygone day strolling arm in arm. On the corner of Love Lane and Henry St. Samuel Putnam kept a very select school for the boys of the best Brooklyn families. Jere Johnson Jr. was a pupil there after he had learned the three R's In District School 4, near the Walla-bout.

In his book "Sparks and Flashes." from which the above illustration is taken, he tells of receiving his higher education at Dr. Putnam's school in 1840 and the years following. Loved by His Pupil Mr. Johnson with his cousin, J. V.

Spader, was led each day from the Wallabut to Love Lane. When the weather was bad they were taken over In the Johnson family carriage, driven by the Johnson family's faithful retainer "Tone." Mr. Putnam, according to the Johnson memoirs, was beloved by his pupils and had a remarkable way of communicating knowledge. Among the pupils in the Putnam school at the time were George W. White, late president of the Mechanics Bank; Joseph S.

Spinney, Jonh H. Boynton, Sumner Stone, George Velentine, Matthew Hall, Bryant, Cyrus and Edward Smith, Ehsha King, Henry Nesmith and others who afterward became prominent. In his History of Brooklyn, Stiles says that Love Lane got its name in a most romantic way. It appears, according to the historian, that John Debevoise and his brother Robert, who tamed the wild strawberry and added a new luxury to the tables of the world, lived in a little Dutch house on the edge of the Heights and that the approach to the house was down a long lane, shaded by fine trees. Had a Lovely Daughter The home of the Debevolses was graced by the presence of a very beautiful girl, who filled the place of a daughter to the two old men, whose name she bore.

Sarah De- bevoise had many admirers, who wrote and carved love lines, with meir initials intertwined wun tnose i of Sarah, on the fence which sepa- rated the Debevolse and Pierrepont estates. The love lines were so numerous that the little passage was nicknamed Love Lane. The two old bachelors built for Sarah's special use on the edge of the a little parlor or doll house in which she entertained her admirers and other friends in more befitting style than she could in the rather stuffy old house on the rlvor edge. Many a heart was broken or at least dented when Sarah chose to give her dainty little hand in marriage to Samuel Van Buren. After his death she became Mrs.

Edward McComber. The fence with the love lines is gone, as are also the trees that shaded the little doll house, and the roses that surely must twined around the door. Nothing remains but the name of the little passageway and the memory of a very sweet girl of old Brooklyn. Find Catapult Stones In Englund a Puzzle Discovery of hundreds of massive stone catapult balls at Pevensey Castle, near Eastbourne, England, has revealed the possibility of an ancient battle unknown to modern historians.
