Y. UNCLE SAM 'WELCHES' MAYOR INSINUATES Accuses Federal Government of Not Keeping Faith in Jamaica Bay Work. BASIN IMPROVEMENT, ISSUE. City Cannot Be Forced to Do That Work, Mayor Tells Sinking Fund Commission. Mayor Mitchel openly insinuated, at the meeting of the Sinking Fund Commission today, that, the United States Government was "welching" in its original agreement with the city for the improvement and development of Jamaica Bay.

The Mayor appeared to be vexed at the delay in carrying the improvement to completion. Dock Commissioner Smith prompted the observation of the Mayor. The Federal Government appropriated $850,000 as its share of the cost of the improvement, but the War Department has prevented this from becoming available until assurances were received from the city that the development work would be actually carried out. "Isn't that in the nature of welching an the original agreement?" interrupted the Mayor. "Originally, the city and the Federal Government were to give SO much.

Not a word was said about improving the basins, only about dredging. "If the city improves the Fresh Creek and Paedergat Basins it will do it of its own accord. The United States Government has no justification for taking a position compel the city to improve the basins." Polk Blames Clients of John H. Ward. Corporation Counsel Polk also expressed his disappointment over the delay.

He charged that clients of John H. Ward were holding up the improvement. Some Mr. Ward's clients are Percy G. Williams, Thomas Adams and Adam Stahle, who own most of Canarsie and Bergen Beach.

"They think they can block this improvement," said Mr. Polk. "'They feel they are holding a club over the city's head. These private owners are willing to come to terms with the city only if a marginal street is eliminated." Drescher Scores Delay. Former Alderman Alexander S.

Drescher also denounced the delay which has marked the proceeding. "The people of Brownsville, whom I represent, and who are vitally affected by this improvement, demand action," said a Mr. Drescher. "The rights of private owners are only secondary. John F.

Geis, President Pounds, Henry A. Meyer, President Connolly of Queens, Representatives Frederick W. Rowe and Oscar W. Swift, Henry Killmer, Charles Pope Caldwell and Representative Oscar W. Swift also urged action.

The Commission, however, deferred action until the' meeting of July 31. NOSTRAND AVE. TUBE BIDS Lowest Figure for Section No. 1 $2,073,303. The revised figures of the bids, which were opened yesterday by the Sinking Fund Commission for Section No.

act as trustees in Mintz's absence, and he wanted his own attorney. I said this was not satisfactory to Mr. Grout, that he was the attorney Jarvis wanted. Mr. Grout seemed amused that he was not acceptable to Mr.

Balley, but I don't think we discussed the Mintz loan that" any other way." "And was just a few weeks after the bank accepted a renewal of Mintz's note?" "Yes." "Did you have any other talk with Mr. Grout?" "I talked with him over the telephone about the request of the Twentieth Century Construction Company for a loan of $20,000. I told him that N. Willard Curtis, who was in that company, was a high class man, that he was the kind of a man whose business the bank wanted to get; that he was very unfriendly to the bank, for some reason, and that if we gave the loan the bank might get some of Mr. Curtis' business.

I also told Mr. Grout that Mintz was president of the Twentieth Century Construction Company, and that if we made this loan it might put him in shape to pay some of his note. That talk was after a renewal had been accepted." Sure He Talked with Grout on Phone. By Mr. Baldwin: "Are you sure you talked with Mr.

Grout over the telephone?" "Yes." "Wasn't it Mr. Stalker you talked to "No, I know it was Mr. Grout." "You are under indictment?" Mr. Cropsey's objection was sustained. "How often have you been in the District Attorney's office about this case "Quite often.

Some weeks twice. FOUR MINUTE TRAINS IN 4TH AVE. TUBE: BEGIN TUESDAY, NOON Manhattan to Coney Island 42 Minutes Local-32 Minutes Express. TESTS SHOW ROAD SMOOTH. Trainmen Now Busy Learning Signals and Grades- Transfers at New Utrecht Avenue, The operaton of the Fourth avenue subway and the Sea Beach cut from Manhattan to Coney Island will begin for the general public on Tuesday at noon, if the Public Service Commission ratifies the hour.

The B. R. or New York Municipal Railways Corporation, notified the Commission that operation could begin at that time. At the outset the operation will be on a four -minute headway, according to announcement by the B. R.

T. today. The running time from Manhattan to Coney Island will be 42 minutes on local trains and 32 minutes on express trains. At the beginning of operation, however, express service will be used only on the Sea Beach cut. An Important announcement was made by the B.

R. T. today when it stated that transfers will' be granted to the new subway from elevated trains operating on the surface of New Utrecht avenue in a northerly direction at Sixty-second street. Transfers will be good only on trains running to Manhattan. Trains on New Utrecht avenue operating in a southerly direction will give transfers to Coney Island-bound subway trains.

Trainmen and engineers were given practice on experiment trains that were run through the Fourth avenue subway today, and for the rest of the week will be busy learning grades and stops in the new tube. Today's inspection revealed the fact that the subway is in excellent condition, with only the DeKalb avenue section left to worry the engineers and contractors. There are several rather diffcult grades in the new subway, and it is the purpose of the B. R. T.

operating department to familiarize its men with them to such an extent that there will be no possibility of accident or delay when the tube finally is put into pubilc operation on Tuesday at noon. One of the worst of the grades is under Flatbush avenue, where the Fourth avenue tube is depressed to run under the tracks of the Interborough subway, for there is a slight curve at the top of the grade leading to the stop at the Pacific street station. In general, the trial trip today showed, the main work left on the subway, aside from the DeKalb avenue station, is to clean up. There is considerable rubbish left on the various station platforms and some in the subway itself, but all of it will be taken away before the official train is run through Saturday. The first train which went through the cut today left the junction of the Sea Beach cut and the Fourth avenue tube at a few moments before 10 and proceeded down toward Manhattan at a comparatively fast rate.

A few stops were made to permit of a further examination of some sections, but for the most part the train progressed with a speed of 18 or 20 miles an hour until it got to DeKalb avenue. There it was held up because of work that is going forward on the new cross over sections, but afterward it made a clean run to Manhattan. trains followed the first one through and all day they were making the runs. At all difficult stops and at all switches, the drivers were given special instructions by operating engineers and at all stations guards were told how to open the doors, with their apparently complicated system of releases. Two hundred of the new subway cars of the New York Municipal Railway into service on the Fourth avenue- Sea Beach line.

These cars are 67 feet long and 10 feet wide-16 feet longer than the present New York subway car, and seat seventy-eight people with all doors in operation. About 300 men will be required, actendent cording to J. J. Dempsey, superinof transportation of the B. R.

rapid transit system, in the operation of the line. This additional operating force will be augmented time to time as further new lines become available for use. I talked with Mr. Goldstein and Mr. Dodge; no, never with Mr.

Cropsey." "You sent down renewal slips on these transactions to Mr. Stalker?" "That was the custom." "Look at the initials on this slip," said Mr. Baldwin, handing Smith a renewal slip; "whose are "Mr. Stalker's; but Mr. Grout's inItials are there, too." With the testimony of Louis H.

Pink, a member of the Board of Education, unwilling though he was to recall his activities as a clerk in E. M. Grout's law office in 1908 and 1909, District Attorney Cropsey connected Grout directly with knowledge concerning the account of Ellsworth E. Bogart. Bogart's not for $16,769.57 was carried in the Grout statement as an asset, although he had turned in his bank stock and confessed judgment for $7,694.57, the balance.

With many hair-splitting questions, Mr. Cropsey induced Pink to testify that after an investigation of Bogart's financial condition, he informed Grout that Bogart had transferred all his real estate and liquor business to members of his family. "Was ever brought to set aside those conveyances?" Mr. Cropsey asked. "No: I never brought any, and I don't think any was brought." Mr.

Pink identined the complaints in the two Union Bank suits against Bogart as having been verified and sworn to by Grout, as president of the bank, as of his own knowledge. Thomas F. Murtha, a lawyer who represented Bogart in the Federal Court when he was examined on his bankruptcy petition, testified for Mr. Cropsey that a statement was made then Bogart's having transferred his property, and that E. M.

Grout was present in court at the time and heard it. The law firm of E. M. Paul Grout represented the bank in the litigation. In Support of Stalker's Story.

To corroborate some of the testimony of Edwin J. Stalker, the vice president of the bank, Mr. Cropsey called Frederick F. Searing of Searing who borrowed $20,000 after being recommended by Jacob L. Greatsinger, one of the directors, who was interested with him in the Delaware and Eastern Company.

Bonds of that company had been put up as collateral for the loan, and Stalker had called Grout's attention to judgments against the concern. Searing testified that the judgments were unpaid; that dividends on the bond coupons were suspended, and that all the members of the banking firm of Searing which financed the Delaand Eastern Company, were bankrupts by the Federal courts.

"MURDER NOTES NOT ON FRANK'S PAPER" Howard Argues That They Prove Conley's Connection With the Crime. Atlanta, June 16-The hearing before Governor Slaton on Leo M. Frank's plea for commutation of his death sentence was renewed today with the prospect that it would be concluded by night. William M. Howard, continuing his argument in behalf of Frank, took up the discussion of the testimony presented at the trial.

He contended that the "murder notes" which Conley swore he wrote at Frank's dictation, and which were found beside Mary Phagan's body, established the negro's connection with the crime. "We contend the evidence shows the yellow paper on which one note was written was in the basemen of the pencil factory," said Mr. Howard, "that Conley got it there and wrote the notes there. The records shows that no original pieces of paper like the order blank on which the note was written were in Frank's office or in the factory's stock." TENNIS IS DELAYED.

S. MUST MAKE PEACE AMONG THE NATIONS Ours the Greatest Opportunity in All History, Ex-Secretary Declares. SELF-RESTRAINT OUR DUTY. Prophesies an International Conference to Change Laws of Nations. Washington, June 16-Former Secretary Bryan, 1 in the first section of his statement on "The Causeless War" today, prophesied that the greatest peacemaking opportunity in all history was certain to, come to the United States, and declared there would be a demand for an International conference, with the return of peace, to change the rules of international law which "seem to have been made for the nations at war rather than for the nations at peace." "Under the stress and strain of the titanic struggle in which they are gaged," Mr.

Bryan's statement says, "each side has felt itself justified in encroaching upon the rights of neutrals. The ocean highways, the common property of all, have been to some extent appropriated for war purposes. and delicate diplomatic questions are forced upon the neutral nations. Belligerents Least Able to Solve Problems War Has Caused. "Just at this time, when these questions are most acute, the belligerent governments are least able to deal with them with the calmness and poise which their great importance demands.

No wonder every neutral nation is in. creasingly anxious for the war to end. But of all the neutral nations ours has the most reason to pray for the return of peace--most reason to set its face resolutely against participation in this war. This nation, the head of the neutral group and the sincere friend of all the belligerents, in duty bound to set an example 'in patience and self-restraint. "In all history no such opportunity has ever come to any other nation as that which is destined to come to the United States.

In all history no other peacemaker has ever been in a position to claim as rich a blessing as that which will be pronounced upon our President when the time for it comes -as come it must." Introducing his statement, Mr. Bryan graphically describes the horrors and afflictions of the war, and says: "Neutral nations cannot look on with indifference-the ties that bind them together are too strong, the relationship too intimate. This is especially true of the United States. We have a composite population--every nation of Europe having contributed liberally to our citizenship. These.

ours countrymen, themselves born abroad, or immediately descended from foreign-born ancestors, cannot but take a lively interest in the conduct as well as in the results of the war, and a still larger circle shares the concern of those directly connected. Not a soldier falls on either side but the sorrow expressed in his home finds at some fireside in the United States." Neutrals Adversely Affected by Situation Abroad. Aside from sentimental considerations. Mr. Bryan asserts, neutral nations suffer serious disturbance because of the war.

"Nearly every neutral nation finds new domestic problems thrust upon it and old problems made more the statement declares. "No American citizen can note without deep concern the manner in which war questions have intruded themselves into our politics-overshadowing economic issues and stimulating agitation in favor of enlarged appropriations for military and naval At some length Mr. Bryan refers to interruptions to neutral commerce, derangement of business and consequent readjustments, and speaks of scarcity American ships as one of greatest embarrassments to United the States. "The neutral nations are put to a great expense to preserve neutrality and are constantly in danger of being embroiled in the war without intention or fault on their own part," he declares. "The rules of international law seem to have been made for the nations at war rather than for the nations at peace.

It is almost impossible to alter these rules during the war, hecause any material change, affecting as it would the interests of the belligerents, would be a seeming violation of neutrality. "As soon as peace returns there will be a demand for an international conference on the subject. The presumption should then be given to peace, for peace, not war, is the normal condition. If nations are determined to fight they should, as far as possible, bear the burden themselves, and not be permitted to transfer it to the nations which avoid war by resorting to reason instead of force."

MOTHER, TOO, IS INJURED. Husband and Wife and Taken to Hospital-He Had Been Near Breakdown. Chicago, June 16-Calvin Demarest, former national amateur billiard champion, attacked his wife with pocket knife today and then slashed his own throat. His mother, who attempted to restrain him, was cut in the hands.

Husband and wife were taken to a hospital. Their condition appeared to the ambulance police to be serious. At the Hanemann Hospital, Mrs. Demarest's wound was said to be serious. The two-inch blade of the knife entered her throat in several places.

Demarest was not seriously hurt and was removed from the hospital to the Infirmary of the House of Correction. The mother's wound was dressed at the hospital. She said Calvin has been on the verge of a nervous breakdown for some time and had contemplated retirement to a farm for rest and quiet. She told the police that her son's condition made itself apparent in hallucinations concerning his wife, one of them being that she was robbing him. Neighbors, attracted by the screams of the two women, subdued the billiardist and summoned Captain Alcock and two detectives from the Woodlawn police station.

URGES THE SHELLING OF WESTERN LONDON Berlin Editor Calls for Revenge for Allies' Attack on Karlsruhe. REVENTLOW IN ANGRY MOOD. Tages Zeitung's Naval Expert nounces Lokal Anzeiger's Plan for German-American Understanding. Berlin (via London), June 16- Commenting on the aeroplane attack upon Karlsruhe, Paul Becker, assistant chief editor of the Tages Zeitung, terms it "a nefarious and senseless act for which 'unscrupulous retaliation' is demanded." He declares Germany hitherto has retaliated for the bombardment of defenseless, unfortified cities only by the bombardment of military localities, but that an example now should be made. Herr Becker suggests that the best step would be a bombardment of the western portion of London.

He thinks retaliatory measures should be extended also to other departments of warfare. Count Ernst von Reventlow, the naval. expert of the same paper, returns this morning to the attack upon the article of Eugene Zimmerman. general director of the Lokal Anzeiger, in favor of efforts toward a GermanAmerican understanding. In an article headed "German Propaganda for Deliveries of Weapons to Germany's Enemies," Count von Reventlow says the defense by German newspapers of these weapon deliveries is one of the most incredible things which has occurred during the war.

He attacks Vorwaerts for its approval of the Lokal Angeiger's proposal, and again assails the latter paper for declaring there was no occasion for indignation at the attempt of England to starve out Germany, which was held to be legitimate warfare. The Count says the press of the countries opposed to Germany will rejoice to learn that its own views are held and furthered by a portion of the German press. He argues that if the Lokal Anzeiger approves England's starvation plan it therefore disapproves of the submarine campaign. 19 Killed, 14 Wounded, When Karlsruhe Was Shelled. Karlsruhe, Baden (via wireless to London), June 16--Nineteen persons were killed and fourteen seriously wounded, while many others were slightly injured during the attack made upon this city early yesterday morning by a fleet of French aeroplanes.

The people remained calm, are incensed because of the attack upon an open town. A French statement yesterday said the attack upon Karlsruhe was made by twenty-three aeroplanes, which dropped 139 projectiles, causing a large number of fires. It was stated a serious panic was observed at 1 the railroad station. Karlsruhe Palace Badly Damaged by Airmen's Raid. Geneva, Switzerland, June 16 (via Paris)-Travelers who arrived here today from Karlsruhe give the number of persons killed during the aerial attack upon city yesterday as twelve, in addition to which many persons were injured.

Two French aviators also were killed, and the other two occupants of the two aeroplanes brought down were made prisoners. The travelers say that the bombardment of Karlsruhe caused a panic in the city. The people, awakened by the bursting of bombs, rushed half clothed into the streets. Two bombs struck the palace, destroying one wing and damaging the other. The arms factory, railway station, rallway tracks and switches also were damaged.

Trains from Karlsruhe are reaching Basel six to eight hours late. travelers who arrived here today say that when they left Karlsruhe the railway station and several houses in the vicinity were in flames. PRINCE, SLOW DRIVER HIT MAN; MUST PAY Pignatelli Must Pay $15,000 to Widow of Auto Victim. SAYS HE WAS NEVER DRUNK. Does Not Believe in Driving More Than Twenty-five Miles on Hour, Says Spanish Nobleman.

to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. June spite of the fact that Prince Ludovic Pignatelli D'Aragon, Spanish grandee, told Justice Jaycox and a jury yesterday that he did not believe in driving an automobile over twenty-five miles an hour, a verdict of $15,000 was brought in against him today in favor of Mrs. Edward V. O'Connell of 1663 Sixtieth street, Brooklyn, whose husband was killed by the prince's car on the night of July 19, 1914. O'Connell, who was driving with his family, was not killed outright, but four days later.

The prince's car, traveling along Merrick road, between Babylon Wantagh, than crashed into the lighter machine, in which the O'Connells were driving, and everyone was hurled out. Prince Ludovic himself was injured in the crash. Prince Ludovic went on the stand late yesterday to tell his version of the accident, and began by assuring the jury that he was never drunk in his life and had been mildly intoxicated only once. He said that he certainly was not under the influence of liquor on the night of the accident and insisted that the headlights of his own car and those of the lighter machine blinded him when he tried to make a sharp turn in the road. have driven fast." answered the Prince, when he was asked what he thought of fast driving, "and I have been arrested for it.

I have been arrested twice since I have been driving in this country. I have been in races in France, but I do not believe it right to drive on a public road at a rate faster than twenty-five miles an hour." There was considerable difficulty in getting the Prince to state what is his present source of income. He said that before the war broke out he had received a large amount of money from his home in Spain, but that since the war had begun he had been unable to get any money at all. Prince Ludovic also asserted that about a year ago he was a broker, but he claimed that he had not sold any bonds for nearly that period. The Prince's story of the accident, for the most part, tallied with that told by Edward V.

O'Connell son of the dead man, who told of being in the front seat of his father's machine and seeing the big French racer, owner by Prince Ludovic, come tearing around a corner at a fast rate. O'Connell said his father tried to get out of the way and that the big car was zig-zagging across the street and finally crashed into the lighter car. father, said young O'Connell, was thrown against a tree, taken to the Nassau Hotel in a serious condition and died four days later. Attorneys for the defense asked Justice Jaycox to grant them a new trial but the justico denled the motion, although he said that he would give a new trial if the defense could produce facts to warrant it. GENERAL DIES FROM WOUNDS.

Aldefonso Vasquez, Formerly Carranza Commander, Expires. Laredo, Texas, June 16-General Aldefonso Vasquez, formerly Carranza at Nuevo Laredo, opposite here, died yesterday near Monterey of commander wounds received in the battle last Saturday at Icamole, according to a telegram from Monterey, received today in Nuevo Laredo.

The Carranza troops, the message added, were marching on Torreon. Villa officials recently claimed victory in the Icamole fighting, but neither side has given out details of the number of troops engaged.

Calvin Demarest broke into the lime light as a billiard player of note when he was a mere ltd. He was an amateur at first and quickly forged his way to the top until he won in succession the national and international championships. Then he entered the professional ranks and in November, 1909, Mad. ison Square Garden he acquired the title of world's champion. As holder of that honor he has since been supplanted by Willie Hoppe.
