1 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1915. SUFFS TO NAIL VOTER IN HIS HOME TONIGHT Promise to Deal With Him Gently Want to Know How He Stands. "MERE MAN" QUESTIONS RIGHT. Mrs.

Dreier, Mrs. Cothren and Mrs. Barker Express Views on Latest Campaign. Today is Canvassing Day for the suffragists in this borough. The suffragists in each Assembly District will gather at the home of the district leader or election district captain tonight, and from there set out to make a canvass of the in the different districts.

voters, the work will be done between the hours of 5 and 9 o'clock. The canvass will not be of the house-to-house varlety, but only the registered voters will be visited. The twenty-three districts will be covered by women assigned by the leader of election district. Captains inach appointed by the leaders, and the captains in turn will assign a number of women to each block. At least two women are sent to visit each voter.

Comparatively little opposition has been shown to this method employed by the suffragists. Only one man out of nearly 800 in the Twenty-first Assembly District signed himself as opposed to suffrage. This query was received by The Eagle from "Mr. Mere Man" this morning. "What right have the suffragists to annoy citizens in their own homes At the suffrage headquarters this morning the question was willingly answered ny several suffragists.

Mrs. Edward Dreier, chairman of the borough suffragists, said: "The Woman Suffrage party has been modeled after the men's political parties. We felt that there was no better form of organization than that tried out by men in the different political parties. They have established the custom and we are following the precedent established in these parties to canvass the different districts before Election Day." Mrs. Frank Cothren said: "On our visits to the voters we do not to convince them.

We want to find out what stand they have taken on the suffrage question--whether they are for suffrage, against suffrage or indifferent to the cause." Mrs. Dewitt Barker, chairman of the canvassing for New York City, said: "I think the men are much more likely to listen and talk in their own homes than in any other place. The suffragists simply go to them to get information. We don't annoy anybody. We simply state our object of calling, and if the gentlemen wants to talk to us we tal kto him, and if he doesn't, we make apologies for having taken any of his time."

Per Cent Penalty. Although Collector of Internal Revenue Henry P. Keith and the members of his staff take care not to over-advertise the fact, for fear of encouraging the "last minute" payers, it was admitted by the Collector today that the penalty for delinquincy in the payment of income tax will not be inflicted until July 10. Business men are told, as a general practice at the Collector's office, that those who wish to escape the penalty must pay income tax by July 1. June 30, it is explained, closes the fiscal year, the penalty being incurred after July 1.

Chief Deputy James Miles explained today that those who fail to pay by July 1 are sent special notices containing the warning that if the tax is not paid at the expiration of ten days of grace, or by July 10, penalty of cent. of the original tax will be inflicted. Thus July 10 is absolutely last day of grace. HE SAW IT IN THE EAGLE Lawyer Learned That Bartlett Account Was Filed. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L.

June honor, 1f it hadn't been for the Brooklyn Eagle I should never have known this account had been fled," said Lawyer Herbert L. Fordham to Surrogate Nicoll yesterday during an argument in the Robert S. Bartlett accounting matter from Patchogue. "It was The Eagle that first brought it to my attention." Mr. Fordham then went on to say that he had not been served with a copy of the account as fled, and had never been informed by the lawyer for the estate that the account had been filed.

Mr. Fordham said that objections to the account would be filed. He asked for two weeks in which to formulate his objections, to which his opponent, Alexander G. Blue, consented, and July 12 was set as the date for the hearing. It was Mr.

Fordham who asked for an order directing Mrs. Bartlett to account at once or be removed, and the order was granted. The account was fled in time to prevent her removal. Her lawyer says she has administered the estate properly and will be able to prove it in court. Yet it is expected that some very interesting testimony will be offered to prove certain steps in the administration of the estate, and it is likely that several prominent Patchogue residents will testify.

No. 69. MUNITIONS ARE CONFISCATED. Five Revolvers Taken From Small Lads Lined Up to Represent European Armies. The sound of revolver shots and the accompanying cries of small boys brought Policeman Henry F.

Praetz of the Classon avenue police station to the school yard of Public School No. 69, on Ryerson street, near Myrtle avenue, on the run, shortly before the classes formed this morning. In the yard he found a group of small boys blazing away at each other with pistols. At the sight of his uniform they made for the basement doors of the building and vanished to their classes. Praetz notified the principal, Mrs.

Stone, and soon seven frightened youngsters were rounded up in her office. A search of the boys disclosed five .22 caliber blank cartridge pistols and several hundred powder cartridges among them. They said they had been playing at "sojers" in the European armies. As all of the boys were too small to be held responsible, the police only took their names and notified the Children's Society. They gave their names as Frank Satchel, 9 years, 131 Emerson place; John Capestro, 13 years, 25 Emerson place; John Capestro, 10 years, 27 Emerson place; Salvatore Sisante, 12 years, 66 Steuben street; Adolph Bodesta, 14 years, 146 Classon avenue; Frank Firschstein, 15 years, 72 Waverly avenue, and John Montefusco, 15 years, 72 Waverly avenue.

Frank Palagonia, a barber, of 232 Hamburg avenue, who has a shop at 335 Albany avenue, was arraigned in the Gates avenue police court today, following Fire Marshal Tom Brophy's investigation of a peculiar fire which took place in the barber shop on Albany avenue at 12:45 o'clock yesterday morning.

Deputy Chief Farrell did not altogether understand the conditions he found in the building, so he reported to the Fire Marshal. Brophy discovered that the barber had $800 worth of fire insurance on his shop, which he thought was rather heavy. He also found two empty bottles about which he thought he detected an odor similar to that of gasoline, and several towels which gave forth the same smell. Near one of the chairs was The barber told on the Fire Marshal something that looked like a "trail." that several days ago he told the police of the Atlantic avenue station that some unknown enemies had tried to set fire to his place and had broken the glass panels in the door.

The Public Service Commission, at the meeting on July 9, will authorize the advertisement for bids on three important subway contracts, two of interest to Brooklyn, and another affecting Queens. These contracts are now in course of preparation and pending the July meeting the Commission will temporarily adjourn the sessions.

NEGLECT OF DUTY CHARGED TO HAFF Commissioner Pratt Won't Dis- Orchards Legally Parted After Twenty Years of Domestic Infelicity. COUNTER ACTIONS BROUGHT. Wife Wins for "Constructive Deser-Couple Lived in Sidney Place. Jersey City, N. June 29-Emma Orchard was granted a divorce from John Orchard, formerly of Brooklyn, by Vice Chancellor Lewis today on the ground of "constructive desertion." This action was brought by Mrs.

Orchard on a cross petition, her husband having instituted proceedings against her a year ago. The action of the Vice Chancellor today is the culmination of twenty years of domestic infelicity. Mr. Orchard in his petition a year ago complained that his wife hadn't voluntarily kissed him at any time during the twenty years of their married life. He said she preferred a boarding house to a home with him and had packed up her belongings, taking with her their daughter, Nella.

la. "Did she kiss you goodby when she went away?" Mr. Orchard was asked. "Kiss me? I guess not. She never gave me a voluntary or unsolicited kiss in twenty years." When asked by counsel what appeared to be the trouble, Orchard said it was simply A case of clashing dispositions.

One of the witnesses who gave her name as Hortense Smith, said she had watched Orchard closely and was quite convinced he was supporting two families. Miss Smith was employed by Orchard and she said one day, without assigning reason, sumarily discharged her. Then she "kept her eyes open and found out things," she said. The Orchards lived at 20 Sidney place, Brooklyn. Mr.

Orchard took an active part in church affairs. He said in previous hearings before the Jerchancellor that his wife had threatened to do him bodily harm. He accused Mrs. Orchard of receiving love letters from other men and of other conduct calculated to fracture his peace of mind. When parties became estranged Mrs.

Orchard went to Jersey City. OBJECT TO BLOCK'S WALK South Brooklyn Residents Want Transit Service Restored. Residents in the sectiin bounded by New Utrecht avenue, Eighth avenue, Sixtieth street and Sixty-eighth streets gre aroused because of the discontinuance of the transit service on the one block of the Sea Beach line from Fourth to Third avenue. Ex-Alderman Charles W. Dunn has been asked by a committee of fifteen to take the question up with the B.

R. T. and the Public Service Commission. There was formerly a trolley service that took these people over to Third avenue, but now a walk of one block will be made necessary. At the Public Service Commission's office it was suggested that it might not be posdiscontinue this service completely without losing the franchise.

No protest has yet been received by the B. R. but it is known that there is a feeling there that residents along the new Sea Beach line should rather appreciate the improved transit conditions than complain about a one block's walk that affects not a great many. Whether there may not be some sort of service arranged for this block is not settled, however. HITS BACK AT MISS DAVIS District Attorney Martin Says He'll Probe Hart's Island.

District Attorney Francis Martin of the Bronx today issued a statement replying to Katharine B. Davis, Commissioner of Correction, who was annoyed yesterday because the District Attorney expressed an intention to take the Hart's Island drug robbery case before the Grand 1 Jury. Mr. Martin says, in part: "I notice that Miss Davis appears to have lost her temper since she had been informed that Hart's Island was being investigated again. She has threatened to discharge anyone who informs the District Attorney of Bronx County of conditions on the island.

I wonder what she has to hide. It would be a sad condition if the District Attorney of a county had to ask permission of Miss Davis to investigate a case. "Miss Davis says I am a friend of former overseer. I never knew the man. "There is no question about the right of the Grand Jury of this county to investigate conditions on Hart's Island, regardless of what Commissioner Davis says.

Her opinion has very little weight with WILSON READS DOCUMENTS President Studying Mexican and European Situations. Cornish, N. June 29-Wearied by the long automobile ride of yesterday, President Wilson did not leave his summer home this morning, but remained in his study attending to his mail and official documents forwarded from Washington. He planned to go automobiling in the afternoon. The President kept in close touch with the State Department to learn of possible developments in the European and Mexican situations.

It was said that there was nothing today warrant any public expression tel opinion, Secretary from him. Lansing was expected to arrive at Amherst, only a few hours ride from here, today, and it was thought that he might come over to confer with the President concerning the European and Mexican situations. It was said at the Executive offices that no meeting had been planned. CORN CAUSES HIS ARREST. Italian Taken On Eve of Sailing For War Duty.

A corn, on the little toe of the right foot, which necessitated cutting open the shoe in that place, helped two detectives to find a man they sought, among 1,600 Italian reservists who were leaving yesterday afternoon for Italy. The sleuths were on the steamship Patria, and had only twenty minutes to search the ship. The prisoner was Michele Simonetti, 19 years old, of 70 Saratoga avenue, Rochester, N. who was charged with abandoning his wife, Anna, and his 1-year-old child. On the same ship was Gesualdo Compolo, 40 years old, of Carbondale, Pa.

The excitement when the detectives arrested Simonetti was too much for Compolo, for he fell in a faint, from which he did not recover. Dr. Tait of the Norwegian Hospital said the man had died from heart trouble. I cuss Natur of Charge Against Game Protector. CAN CLEAR SELF, HAFF SAYS.

Hearing Is Adjourned Until August. Protector Has Been in Service Many Years. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, L. June 29-Game Protector Harry P. Haff, a member of the Long Island staff of the State Conservation Department, has been called upon to answer a complaint against him, the nature of which has not been made public by the Conservation Commission.

Haff admitted today that he is charged with neglect of duty. Haft is a resident of Islip, Suffolk County, and has been in the employ of the Department for no several years antedating the present administration. He is a civil service man and an exempt fireman. His salary is $1,300 a year. Conservation Commissioner George D.

Pratt admitted today the existence of charges against Haff, and stated that hearing in the case had been set down before him for August 11. Further than that he declined to discuss the matter. "I can say nothing about the charges," he said. "They were preferred last week, and Mr. Haff has been served with a copy.

I prefer to say nothing whatever until after the hearing, at least I can tell you nothing about them now." "Can you not even indicate as to whether the are of a serious nature?" he was asked. "Well, they would not be preferred, except in seriousness," he replied. "I am not dismissing men for the sake although I have been accused of that," he added with a laugh. There was considerable speculation today regarding the charges because of the secrecy maintained as to their character. As an exempt firemen holding a position under the civil service, Haff could not be dismissed from the service without the formality of a hearing, no matter how serious or how insignificant the accusations.

Traffic Impeded.

Traffic on Joralemon street, between Court and Clinton streets, was at a standstill for an hour today, between 11 o'clock and noon, due to the fall of a huge maple tree. The tree had stood for years at the curb on the south side of Joralemon street, and near to Clinton street. It had shaded back yard of the old Haslett mansion at the corner. The trunk had been hollowed out by dry rot, and was merely a shell. Today it fell across the street, breaking into the courtyard of the house on the other side of the way.

Patrolman Grady of the Adams street station went on guard at once and closed the street, temporarily, until some men could come from the Department of Highways with saws and axes. Soon after noon the barrier had been removed. EAGLE PARTY AT 'FRISCO Touring About the City and All Ready for "Brooklyn Day." (Special to The Eagle.) San Francisco, June 29-The Eagle special train reached this city last night, and the tourists are now quartered at the Hotel Fairmont.

For Men, Women and Children Sold Nowhere Else JAMES S.

COWARD 264-274 Greenwich St. (Near Warren Street) New York Mail Orders Filled Send for Catalog A 2,500 CLOAK MAKERS HERE FACE STRIKE Will Quit With 50,000 in Union, July 4, if Demands Are Not Met. WON'T ACCEPT A PROTOCOL. About 100 Brooklyn Employers Will Be Affected in War for Better Scale. Of the 50,000 cloakmakers and women's garment workers, whose organization, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, is now embroiled in a serious controversy with the manufacturers, about 2,500 will be affected in Brooklyn.

More than 100 Brooklyn manufacturers, most of them supplying garments for contractors in Manhattan, are also engaged in the discussion. Next Monday is the date set for the answer of the manufacturers to demands of the union. If the day passes without any reply, the whole ladies' garment trade will be tied up, and may also bring in thousands of workers in the needle industry. The demands made to the manufacturers were sent by the union last night by a Joint board, representing the workers, which met in Masonic Temple, in Manhattan. The letter sent to the Manufacturers Protective Association, giving it time for consideration until July 4, sets forth the following proposals of the garment workers: "A simple working agreement (instead of a protocol), limited to one or two years, which shall contain provisions for a reasonable minimum wage scale for week workers, a uniform basis of pay for piece workers, equal distribution of work, a method for the adjustment of disputes through the medium of our respective organizations, as representatives of the employers and workers in the industry, and such other provisiong as shall be found necessary to maintain proper standards and preserve peace in the industry." This is the result of the abrogation of the protocol by the employers recently, which has made necessary some other agreement, for which the garment workers are working.

They want this matter to be decided by a "committee or board of unbiased persons, under the presidency of Louis D. Brandeis, or Mitchel, or any other person of recognized standing in the community." The decision of this board, the demand is made, should come within two weeks from its appointment. The employers look upon this without fear of a strike. They issued a statement yesterday, in which they pointed out that they were "dealing, not with an American trades union, but with a radical Socialistic group that treats a peace agreement merely as a means of continuing the so-called 'class The situation, however, it is agreed, is grave.
