The new rules of the Board of Standards and Appeals, regarding the construction installation of oil -burning equipment and storage of fuel oil were not promulgated today as had been expected, and the prospect is that the large number of owners of buildings fitted out with oil burning furnaces will have to wait a. while longer before being permitted to light them. William E. Walsh, chairman of the board, said: "While public hearings on the proposed new fuel oil rules were closed on Nov. 14, so many requests for modifications of the contemplated amendment have been received by Board of Standards and Appeals since that date that it has become necessary to hold at least one more public hearing for the consideration of these requests." Mr.

Walsh has declared repeatedly that the proposed new rules are framed so as to give none of the manufacturers of fuel oil burning devices a monopoly of such equipment in this city. He reiterated this statement today, saying that the Board of Standards had approved tive or six of the oil-burning contrivances now in the market so that there could be no question of favoritism.

NO CLUE TO GHOULS WHO BURNED BODY OF CRAZED SLAYER Damariscotto, Maine, Dec. 26-The burning of John Snow's body yesterday In the home of three of the five persons whom he shot dead last Saturday remained a mystery today so far as the identity of those who participated in the affair was concerned. The Lincoln County authorities after putting back in the lonely farm grave the charred bones taken from the ruins of the cottage in Jefferson were non-committal as to whether they would pursue an active inquiry determine who was responsible. Barred from the village cemetery, Snow's body had been buried on the farm adjoining the cottage where his wife, her aunt and her grandmother had lived and where he killed them and himself after driving from Whitefleld, a few miles away, where he had shot the wife and son of Deputy Sheriff Jewett.

Long before daylight yesterday the casket was dug up, the cover pried off and the body taken to the cottage. Apparently kerosene was sprinkled about and the house was set afire. It was several hours later that the authorities were notifled and found the grave empty an dthe bones of the murderer in the ashes where the house had stood.

COOLIDGE MAY URGE EXTENDING SHIPPING ACT TO PHILIPPINES Washington, Dec. 26-President Coolidge has taken up the question of extending the coastwise shipping laws to the Philippines and today asked Chairman Jones of the Senate Commerce Committee to submit a memorandum setting forth his recommendations.

The Merchant Marine Act provides that the coastwise laws may be extended to the Philippines by Presidential -proclamation whenever adequate American shipping facilities are available for the trade. In the event of such an extension only American vessels could engage in trade between the Philippines and the United States. The proposal was considered during the Harding Administration and was rejected on the ground that such an extension might violate some of the treaties to which the United States is a party. The State Department has formulated no opinion on the question! The President also invited Senator Jones today to prepare a memorandum of his views as to a new policy for administration of the government-owned fleet. Firemen Clad in Asbestos Brave 1,000 Degree Heat Long Island City, L.

Dec. 26--1 Two more unknown heroes were added to the already long list yesterday, when two firemen, whose names were refused, donned gas masks and fireproof clothes to permit themselves to be lowered to the bottom of a 360-foot smokestack in search of a missing man. Fernando Mendes, 35 years old. a Spaniard who lived with his brother, Gustavo, at 15 Oak Manhattan, was suffocated some time Monday night in one of the flues of the 360-foot smokestack of the Pennsylvania Railroad power house in Long Island City. How the man got in the position where he lost his life no one at the power house tell.

His remains were found only after a 12-hour search and then by accident. They were rescued from a position where the temperature was approximately 1,000 degrees and amid gas fumes by firemen from the rescue squad of Manhattan and members of Hook and Ladder Company 115 of Long Island City under the command of Acting Chief Joseph Hose Played on Rescuers. Inside the small inspection door the flue has a flange similar to that which is in an old-fashioned stovepipe for shutting off the draft. Apparently Mende had stepped on this and it had turned him and dropped him into the bottom of the flue in the midst of soot and ashes. Two CLEARY'S FRIENDS URGE HIS PROMOTION TO POSTMASTERSHIP Canvassers Find Strong Support for Acting Head of Brooklyn Postoffice.

Acting Postmaster Peter Cleary, though he filed no application and did not take an examination, stands at least a fair chance of being pointed to succeed his late chief, Walter Burton. This developed today when it was learned that a majority of the businessmen, bankers and professional men who were interviewed by the Civil Service and Postoffice inspectors last week in connection with the qualifications and relative merits of the candidates that fled applications, demanded to know fret, "What's the matter with the man who is doing the job now?" The inspectors were not a little surprised when they found that before anyone would recommend a man or woman from among the 24 applicants he wanted to know why Cleary wasn't being promoted. Both the Civil Service Commission and the Postoffice Department have declared that the appointment would be made regardless of politics and the right 18 reserved to appoint anyone in the Postal Service whether he Aled an application or not. If this be the case, said the businessmen why not advance Cleary Cleary is a Democrat, and it 18 known that he did not file an application because he feared the place would go to a Republican no matter what he might do. Since the visit of the inspectors, however, and their discovery that a majority of the men of affairs here couldn't understand why "the next man in line' shouldn't move up, a8 is usually the case in business, Cleary'8 friends have grown hopeful.

They say it might be good politics for President Coolidge to ignore Mr. Cleary's Democratic affiliations and make an appointment that would be pleasing to a great number of prominent Brooklyn citizens who are in favor of seeing Government business handled in a business-like fashion. The Republican politicians here are not nearly so much interested in the they were when Alfred E. Vass racha John Feltner were canso didates, and although there would be a howl if a Democrat or were given the job, it would be short lived 11 word should come from Washington that "the appointment was made to build up the party for 1924."

L. ST. JOHN'S TEACHER, DIES IN BALTIMORE Member of Vincentian Order Broke Down Under Strain of Overwork. The Rev. Edward L.

Carey, C. one of the best-known members of the Order of the Vincentian Fathers, vice president of St. John's College, Lewis and Willoughby professor of higher mathematics and chemistry at the college and one of the outstanding educators in the Roman Catholic Church, died yesterday in St. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore, at the age of 61. He had been ill about four weeks.

The interment will take place Friday in Germantown Cemetery, Philadelphia, following a solemn high mass of requiem in the Church of St. John the Baptist, Willoughby and Lewis the celebrant of which will be. the Rev. John W. Moore, C.

president of the college. Divine office will be sung by the clergy of the diocese at 9:30. Father Carey suffered a nervous attack the latter part of October after a very busy term at the college. He had not taken the usual summer vacation so that he might help a number of students in their work. This he did voluntarily; but in his condition the strain was too much for him and finally he was ordered to the hospital by his physician.

After two weeks there he gained in health and was greatly encouragel with the prospect of returning to Brooklyn to take part in the tion ceremonies at St. John the tist last Saturday when 17 young men whose progress at the seminary he had watched with joy were elevated to the priesthood, but he had a relapse about two weeks ago from which he failed to rally. Father Carey was widely known to the priests of the Brooklyn diocese and to the nuns who teach in the parochial schools here. He gave considerable of his time after class at the college to the work of enlarging the education of the nuns in the teaching orders. While a student and later a professor at Niagara University, he had formed the acquaintance and won the affection of many seminarians who are now priests in this diocese.

He was one of the most active educators in the missionary order in which he worked for more than 30 years as a teacher, orator, organizer and adviser. learning, genius and personality endeared him to every one with whom he came in contact, and his death is considered a great loss not only to the faculty of St. John's College but 'to the Catholic Church in this country. Patience and enthusiasm in dealing with young students were his outstanding characteristics. As a professor of physics for several years at St.

John's he helped to enlarge the influence of the boto college. He was constantly adding paraphernalia to the gymnasium of the college through his own inventions and the personal contributions from his purse. Father Carey was born in Syracuse, N. Y. He was educated at the local schools and then at Syracuse University.

Later he attended Niagara University and was ordained in the cathedral at Philadelphia on June 1892. Shortly after his ordination 11, he was assigned to Niagara Universi- ty as a teacher of mathematics and physics. About 25 years ago he came to St. John's College. COPELAND FAVORS MELLON TAX PLAN Eagle Bureau.

901 Colorado Building. Washington. Dec. 26-United States Senator Royal S. Copeland is the first of the Democratic members of the upper house to come out in favor of Secretary Mellon's plan for tax reduction and express his willingness to vote for a measure containing provisions for cut in taxes.

Senator Copeland believes, however, that a bonus is possible in addition to tax reduction. In reply to letters received from some 4.000 constituents, Senator Copeland said today that he had "carefully studied Secretary Melion's proposals and bel'eves it possible to carry out every detail of his pian and yet pass a reasonable bonus measure, which I also heartily favor," SPAIN, STILL SHY OF BRITAIN, MAY DEVELOP CEUTA Sees in It a Coast Defense Base Quite as Valuable as Gibraltar. (By Wireless to Thy Eagle and Phila. Public Ledger; Copyright, 1923.) London, Dec. 26 Is Gibraltar, with all its most modern installation of defense guns, a white elephant or at best only a flimsy tradition? question for naval experts to decide, but one thing is certain: the unofficial flirtation of Foreign Secretary Curzon with Spain has not yet met 8 respongive attitude in Great Britain.

In diplomatic circles here it is said that Spain, despite her newly formed friendship with Italy, is not yet ready to discard the possibility of closer relations with her Continental neighbor, France, for 8 problematical alliance with the island Power. Ceuta. which it was suggested Great Britain could accept in exchange for Gibraltar as an inducement to a closer relationship between Spain, England and Italy, with a view to the formation of a Mediterranean entente, which would threaten France's communications with her African colonies, it is said now is considered by Spain as equally important a fortress site as the famous old Rock of Gibraltar. Ceuta, according to Spanish authorities, is an admirable situation for a naval and coast defense base which has the advantage of being on Spanish Moroccan territory. It is just 21 miles from Algeciras and a tew miles less from Gibraltar, while Tangier, where the Spanish authorities feel they have been badly treated in the recent three-power agreement, is 54 miles from the famous rock.

Ceuta, then, might well be Spain's own important stronghold. In two years, the Spanish experts argue, Ceuta could be made into a commercial port which would be favored by the lion's share of shipping and, it is thought, such extension, although combining commercial and coast defense and naval development, could be carried out with diplomatic overtures and with amity toward France. KLUXEN BOY CANNOT BE PUT IN JEOPARDY AGAIN, SAYS JUDGE Sayre Declares He Will Use Entire Wealth to Fight for Ostracized Protege. (Special to The Eagle.) Madison. N.

Dec. 26--Vehemently denying reports that quoted him as saying he would seek a new trial of Francis Kluxen 3d as the slayer of Janette Lawrence, Prosecutor Bolitho of Morris County declared today he would not reopen the case do unless the majority of the citizens in the county demanded 1 it. He admitted had asked for a copy of the evidence submitted in the case and the jury return, from the Clerk of the Morris County Court, but this move he explained was only an effort to continue the investigation into the murder. Justice Charles W. Parker, before whom the case was tried, and who since the Kluxen boy has been ostracized by his townspeople has been insistent in his demands for fair play, said today: "The trial is a closed incident.

The boy was legally tried and acquitted. He cannot be tried again, therefore." Monell Sayre, the millionaire, who came forward to adopt the Kluxen boy, to "give him the fair chance in life he is entitled to," said that in the event the case is reopened he will use all his wealth to fight the proceedings. He declared he would back the boy until the finish. He said he had had ample opportunity to study young Kluxen and was convinced he was a clean-minded, normal and fine boy. The controversy which has grown out of the case did not disturb the Christmas celebration of Kluxen and his benefactor at the latter's residence in Convent, N.

J. There the boy's parents visited him, while Mr. Sayre listened to an Episcopal Christmas service over Francis' new radio. SILZER DEMANDS ACTION BY U. S.

IN COAL EMERGENCY Boston, Dec. 26-Co-operation between the Federal Government, the State of Pennsylvania and the various anthracite consuming States to regulate the anthracite industry was urged by Governor George S. Silzer of New Jersey in an address before the Boston Rotary Club today. "The he said, "in dealing with the question of coal asked for the power to act in an emergency. We seem to be in the midst of an emergency all the time.

"Whether the Federal Government can exercise to the fullest degree the power of price-fixing and regulation or whether it cannot, there is no doubt at all that through the powers which the Interstate Commerce Commission now has and those which could be given to it or a similar commission, it would have undoubted authority and power to eliminate the fraudulent and extortionate practices and the unfair competition and control which are the largest factors in the curtailment of production, the creation of shortages and the raising of the price. "The people of the 30 anthraciteconsuming States should petition Pennsylvania to take some action. Pennsylvania in all fairness is charged with the duty of seeing that coal not slate is sent to 118 for consumption. This it can easily accomplish. We should ask the State of Pennsylvania to repeal the coal tax.

It is unfair, unjust and immoral. "Pennsylvania should regulate and prevent the payment of extortionate royalties. This it can also do." Why Does Not the City Accept This Free Park for the People? The Rev. Dr. John L.

Belford, in speaking today of the long delay in acceptance of Gerritsen Park, which was offered to the city over six ago, said: "I can not see any reason why the city does not take this splendid gift. While I am not familiar with the ins and outs it seems to me that some one in the administration with a good head could find a plan for chopping away the technicalities, so that people could begin to enjoy the benefits of the park." Edward C. Blum is especially interested in Brooklyn's lack of adepark space. He said today: "I visited the Gerritsen Park section a days ago, and the fact was forcibly driven home to me that every means ought to be used in order that the people may get possesand use of this fine property which is growing in value every day. I they will do some hard work soon in the matter of securing this boon for the people of Brooklyn." Another year is about to begin.

The program of dilly-dallying continues. WHAT IS THE REASON? HORACE ORSER WINS IMPORTANT MATCH AT INDOOR TENNIS First Seeded Player Beats E. Russell Phillips in National Junior Tourney, 6-0, 6-1. By FRANK T. ANDERSON.

Brady, president of the Federation Bank of New York, issued a statement today taking issue with the claim of another Labor bank, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers' Co-operative Trust Company, that it was the first bank to have a woman officer. The engineers' bank has announced the selection of Miss Helen Varick Boswell as a. vice president.

Boswell is not by any means the first woman officer of a Labor bank," said Brady, "That distinction went to the Federation Bank when selected Mrs. Sarah A. Conboy, secretary of the United Textile Workerg of America, as one of its directors. "While Miss Boswell as vice president announces she will hold a remunerative position, she will nave little to do with the policies of the engineers' bank. Mrs.

Conboy, on the other hand, is a stockholder and a director of the Federation Bank and as such has had much to do with the organization, creation and pollcies of the Federation Bank." PARIS IS ANGERED BY ACQUITTAL OF GIRL MURDERER (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, 1923.) Paris, Dec. 26--The acquittal of Germaine Berthon, the girl anarchist, for the death of Marius Plateau has provoked a storm ew which may carry the three-cornered political war among the Republicans, Royalists and extreme, radicals to dangerous consequences. Throughout the press the acquittal of the girl who shot a Royalist who was decorated many times for his brilliant heroism in war is considered an encouragement of acts of crime. Action Francaise, the Royalist paper, burns with scurrilous vindictive slurs against the jury and against Germaine Berthon, calling her an unprintable name and a murderess.

The president of the League of War Me Veterans has a signed statement appearing in the press which reads: "Madame Caillaux killed. She was acquitted. The Berthon girl assassinated our brother-at-arms, Marius Plateau. She has been acquitted. One is indeed permitted to murder.

We must take heed, we must reprove the abominable customs of which we do not wish to become patient victims." Figero says: "The jury has done a work of injustice. Is it sufficient for them to do their duty, to proclaim that crime is crime, and that a man who is killed because he belongs to. a certain party, caste or race will not find in France tribunals to punish the assassin?" Gustave Herve, writing in. Victoire, takes the minority view, saying: "Do not mistake the fact that the acquittal of Mlle. Berthon is the brutal protest of justice against the actions of the Royalists.

It is the last warning against the Camelots du Roi that they will face a united nation if they dare to attack the republic." A woman writer in the Eclair says: "The verdict is full of dangerous consequences for the future."

MOORING MASTS PLANNED IN ARCTIC FOR U.S. DIRIGIBLE the years over of it, level the quate few possible sion hope great To Be Located at Nome, Point Barrow and Aboard Two Tankers Near Spitzbergen. Washington, Dec. 25-Advance parties will be sent to Seward and other Northern Alaska points as soon as possible for preliminary aerological work in preparation for the Navy's Polar exploration fight under plans worked out by the special board of naval officers headed by Admiral William Motfett, chief of naval aviation, and tentatively approved by Secretary Denby. The dirigible Shenandoah, with special equipment and certain changes to meet conditions, is to undertake the main part of the ploration of the North Polar res gions," which the board found could be attempted next summer.

Nome, Alaska, was selected as the principal base. Numerous flights are contem plated to fulfill the expedition's pure poses of exploration, which will in. clude a study of the vast unknown area north of Alaska, scientific vestigation and pioneer work ing to establishment of "the practicability of a transpolar air route" from Western Europe to Japan. In addition to the early aerological work, the plan calls for the despatch of two vessels, preferably tankers, with three airplanes each, to Nome and Spitzenbergen, selected as a secondary base, for further preliminary observations. The ships would be equipped with mooring masts to suppiement a permanent mooring mast at Nome and a "standby" three-point mooring at Point Barrow, where the board suggests stationing the Coast Guard cutter Bear, with as many men as it can berth.

The ZR-3, now being built in Germany, would "stand by at Lakehurst, N. in reserve." The Spitzbergen base, it is pointed out, will enable the big dirigible to make a one-way flight across the region if air currents develop which might hamper a return to Nome on any of its cruises, and the equipment of the tankers with mooring masts will make them available for assistance at the edge of the pack ice. Put Dirigible in Shape for Trip. Lakehurst, N. Dec.

26-Although no official orders have been issued from Washington designating the giant navy dirigible Shenandoah to prepare for an exploration trip to the Polar regions, tests and plans are being made at the Naval Air Station here for the contemplated trip. In the event the ship is selected in accordance with the recommendations of the special board of Naval officers and tentatively approved by Secretary Denby, only minor changes will be necessary in her structure, Commander Weyerbacker, in charge of her construction, said today. "Few changes in her structure would be necessary," he said, "the main alterations being in her living quarters. For a trip to the Polar regions the Shenandoah would have to be made more habitable for the comfort and safety of her crew. Her sleeping quarters would have to be remodeled to accommodate about 40 persons." Discussing the development of light mooring masts which could be carried by attending ships and used in northern waters, Commander Weyerbacker said the project was still in the "paper stage." "It looks feasible," he said, "and would give the airship far greater range than at present with fixed mooring masts on land." MUCH WED WIDOW CUT FROM DOWER IN SULLIVAN'S ESTATE Mrs.

Margaretta Reynolds Dill Criem Sullivan of 1195 Union who sued in an effort to be entitled to dower rights in valuable Clermont ave. property owned by Dr. William P. Sullivan, one of her numerous husbands, lost her case today. Justice Dike in the equity term of the Supreme Court, quoting Shakespeare, declared that her matrimonial record and disregard of decrees made it impossible to grant her application.

The much-married WOman, who is still strikingly attractive. went through two marriage ceremonies with Dr. Sullivan. After one of these she induced Dr. Sullivan to transfer the Clermont ave.

property to her. She gave it back again when she found out that one of her previous ventures made her status as Mrs. Sullivan somewhat shaky. She induced Dr. Sullivan to go to another State for a remarriage.

He went to Colorado in an effort to divorce her. She followed him there, fought his case and then brought a divorce suit of her own. And she succeeded. Of her relations with Dr. Sullivan, whose property she sought to annex, Justice Dike wrote: "She deceived Dr.

Sullivan. It was a fraud upon her part. Can this plaintiff who has brazenly flaunted on two occasions the laws of this State and has with equal effrontery madel of the decree of this court a scrap of paper, now ask for the admeasurement of dower? "The plaintiff's record as set forth in this ease seems to me clearly to bar her from any relief. The King's soliloquy in Hamlet occurs to me: 'May one be pardoned and retain the Judged by her acts in relation to this property and her violation of the laws of this State, I feel she has forfeited her right now to appeal to a court of equity." firemen from the Rescue Squad volunteered to make the descent on the scaling ladders and bring up the remains. They were lowered in the stifling heat with companions above pouring water upon them.

Ropes were about their bodies SO they could be pulled up if they were overcome. They worked rapidly that few minutes they found the remains of Mendes and lifted them to the small opening. The body was badly charred. Officials of the power house said they could not in any way account tor Mendes' presence in the sectior. where the flue is located and they could not understand how he could have gotten into it.

It is thought he was drawn through the small door by the heavy forced draught. Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION INDIGESTION) 25 CENTS 6 BELL-ANS Hot water Sure Relief DELLANS and Packages Everywhere PROF J. W. PRESCOTT DIES. Allentown.
