THEY COME BACK SINGING Florence Boyce Davis They come back singing, and we know them all, The bluebird and the robin and the wren; Up from the marsh the redwing flutes a call; We hear the hermit thrushes in the glen; The goldfinch not donned his summer dress, And yet we tell his as he lilts alongEach note attuned to spring and joyousness; They come back singing, and we know their song.

You do not have to' see his featherea throat To a robin singing in the rain, Or need to cast a glance at cap and coat To know the bobolinks are back again; The tiniest of the warblers passing by. Among the tasseled trees may flit along And hide his colors from the seeking eye, Yet prove his presence with a thread of song. For more than this what need of mortal careThat men may know us by the songs we sing, Naming us never by the gars we wear, The dun of winter or the cold of spring? I pray I shall not mock another's lay, But keep my own distinct and true and strong, That as I fare along some one will say: "She passed me singing, and I knew her song." -From Youth's Companion. Relief From New Tube Fails to Materialize In Bushwick Section Eastern Parkway Station Congested in Rush Hours -Drop in Transfers at Canal Street- Myrtle And Wyckoff Stations Also Busy Points Until the public exercises a more trustful attitude toward the new 14th street- Eastern subway line than hae been exhibited for the first few days of the week the handling of traffic at the various transfer points of the B. M.

T. system will still be somewhat short of becoming normal. This fact became apparent last Monday when the early morning rush hour service on the new line was in force. The Eastern parkway station, and the connecting station, Broadway Junction, were jammed with patrons, the former station being clogged with riders who wanted to get to Chambers street. They crowded the platform waiting for Chambers street trains because of a feeling they would be "late" 1f they trusted to the new route to Union Square station where they could transfer to reach the Chambers street destination.

They were used to going the direct way and being used to the early morning crush did not mind the inconvenience of standing once they crowded into the trains. From the office of the B. M. T. it was learned that some relief was afI fected at the Canal street station.

The lad had heen learning to swim with the aid of an improvised life preserver, when it failed him and he lost his life. Young O'Leary was one of the most popular youngsters in his neighborhood, and when news of his untimely death spread throughout, there was a general feeling of deep sympathy for his family, by whom he had been idolized. It was his ambition to become a swimmer, but not having that knowledge decided to invent a prethat would keep him afloat server while learning.

Sand from Baltimore and Miss Ethel Wiedner from New Haven, Conn. Judge Haubert Had Work of Three Courts Wished on Him Sunday Magistrate Charles J. Haubert was kept extra busy Sunday morning as a result of a mistaken idea of the police of the Brownsville and East New York sections. Instead of presiding ove: two courts, he found that he had the work of three on his hands. When the Bushwick Magistrate started his work the Flatbush Court Sunday morning, he found a number of cases of disorderly conduct greeting him that should have been arraigned in the New Jersey Avenue Court.

He was informed by the arresting officers that they had been instructed by their lieutenants to make cases returnable in Snyder Avenue Court instead of the New Jersey Avenue Court. No reason for this switching could be learned, but Magistrate Haubert disposed of the sixty or more men brought before him, charged with disorderly conduct. in participating in a series of crap games. He suspended sentence on all. He also took care of the very few cases rightfully belonging in the Flatbush Court and then handled the calendar in the Gates Avenue Court just to round out a busy day.

Will Oppose Local Assessment for Force Tube Avenue Widening East New Yorkers on the Alert to Check Any Move To Put Through Improvements On This Basis If any effort is made to widen Force Tube avenue, between Jamaica and Atlantic avenues, to connect it with the Conduit boulevard, and place the assessment on the local property owners, there will be strenuous objection shown, It is known that the members of the Cypress Hills Board of Trade, of which George S. Hice is president, has been watching this matter for scme time. A few years ago it was proposed by city officials that the road be widened and the cost placed on the adjoining property owners. George S. Bell, then president of the board, entered a protest.

The idea was finally dropped, but it was hinted at the time it would be taken up at some later date, and it is for this reason the members of the board are keeping their eyes and ears wide open. They feel if anything is done it will be during the summer months when most of the civic workers are resting up. Three Women Are Hit by an Auto Eva Cohen, 34, of 570. Blake ave nue, Beckie Saross, 35, of 387 Williams avenue and Getta Rosenberg, 47, of 552 Blake avenue, sustained slight injuries when struck by An automobile owned by a man scribed as Harold Epstein, of 402 Osborne street, while crossing at Blake and Williams avenues, Monday. All were taken home after treatment.

WOMAN, 73, LEAPS TWO STORIES TO HER DEATH Mrs. Margaret Oberlies, 73, com mitted suicide, according to the police, Saturday morning by Jumping from the second -story window of her home at 664 Quincy street, to the yard below. She was pronounced dead on the arrival of Dr. Ginsburg of the Bushwick Hospital. The board is not opposed to the improvement.

They would to have it made so the Conduit. boulevard will have 8 direct connection with the Highland boulevard road. Such a connection will greatly relleve congestion along Jamaica avenue. The members of the board feel that inasmuch as the city will get a benefit from a connection of this character, it should be up to the city to pay the bill; and it is on this point the board will fight when the question of widening Force Tube avenue 1s again brought up for a hearing. "We shall keep both eyes wide open, watching every move that the officials might make in this matter and be ready to take the proper action," said George Bell on Tuesday.

If there should be a fight started against a local assessment the board will find it has co-operation from the civic organizations in the City Line, South Side and East End sections of East New York. Not Hold- Up Man, Says E. N. Y. Youth Robert Cummings, 18 years old, who gives his home address as 98 McKinley avenue, was arraigned in the Gates avenue court on Monday and held in' bail for examination on a charge of robbing a taxicab driver on Saturday.

Cummings was emphatic in his denial that he is not a holdup man. TROLLEY INSPECTOR STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE Bernard Cohen, 40 years old, of 1502 DeKalb avenue, an Inspector for the B. M. T. was struck by an auto Monday and sustained lacerations of the left arm.

He went home after treatment. Break Through Three Walls to Get at Safe, Depart Without Loot H. Kars, Broadway Jeweler, Believes Men Became Frightened as They Were About to Take Thousands in Diamonds and Trinkets Apparently working hours cutting through three walls and firally doors of a large safe, burglars abandoned the task of forcing an inner safe door in the jewelry store of H.

Kars, 1607 Broadway, and departed without any loot. At least the jeweler hopes that is the case, but he won't be sure until an inventory is taken of his stock on hand. The last thing Kars remembers doIng at 12 o'clock Saturday night was to extinguish all the lights with the exception of one hanging before the safe door to make the latter visible from the street. When he opened his store at 8 o'clock Monday morning he was estonished to find the combination knob of the safe knocked off and two of the doors wide open. He immediately sensed a robbery and began searching about.

The rear room, separated from the store by a partition, was in shambles. Plaster and broken lathe littered the floor. The plaster wall between the Jewelry store and Murphy's hat store at 1609 showed a big gap large enough to admit a fair sized man. There was also a large part of the metal ceiling and boards of the floor above the store ripped away. When the manager of the hat store came to open up for the day he was met by A highly excited neighbor.

Joining forces they made further investigation and found that the wall separating the Murphy Hat store and Binder Bros millinery store at 1611-13, corner of Eldert street, had also been broken away, but in neither of the hat stores was anything taken. It was certain that the jewelry store was the object of the burglars land the fact that they forced the three walls to reach this store was 25th, 26th and 28th Ward Editions Delivered every Saturday morning in Bushwick, Ocean HIlL, Ridgewood, Evergreen, Glendale, Middle Village, Wyckoff Heights, Germania Heights, St. James Park, Maspeth, Metropolitan, East New York, Cypress Hills and Canarsle.

This much was learned recently in conversation with Edward A. Ditman, president of the Irving Civic Association. Several months ago Ditman and his co-workers became het up when rumor reached their ears that a chemical factory was to take form on the grounds where many a thrilling battle was played. They scouted around to learn the truth of the report but were unable to gain anything definite. Ic was said a group of influential poll ticians were behind the so-called chemical plant and that the majority of them came from Manhattan.

The chief objection to a chemica. plant, said Ditman, was its odious atmosphere. The Irving civic workers were not going to stand for any manufacturing plant that would. eventually drive away the people from the section. The Irving Heigl section consists of fine two family homes, nicely paved streets, many o.

There is only one fault Jared J. Chambers has to find with the 14th street Eastern subway and that is the absence of express service.

There should have been four tracks he declares, but at that the line is away ahead. of the present elevated lines and trolleys. The new subway, the Little Giant of Bushwick emphasizes, 1s the only transportation improvement the community has had since the trolleys commenced in 1894, except the third tracking of the Broadway vated and the physical connection At.

His complaint about the subway was penned on Monday, having Arrived the day before.

Continuing, he writes: "I get up every morning at 6 o'clock walk for one hour and then my breakfast, take another walk, smoke, have dinner, read awhile and then walk again and after supper go to the village.

The company did not expect more than 16,000 on Monday, but a had handed out 22,000 transfers. final tally showed that there agents Based on these figures this was a material crop and as the week progressed and patrons became more famillar with the new line there was a further drop. Congestion was rather heavy also on the stations comprising the Wyckoff and. Myrtle avenue transfer point. Business was reported heavy all through the rush hours, but gradually the condition adjusted itself as the week went by and there was little if any confusion.

Sunday's service was severely taxed because of the hundreds of Brooklyn and Manhattan residents who came to Ridgewood to visit the various cemeteries. These found the transfer point at Wyckoff and Myrtle avenue convenient, because upon alighting at Wyckoif avenue station they reach the "L' by means of the new escalator and stairways and with the aid of guards yelling directions had no trouble in reaching their respective destinations. It is expected later when Ridgewood residents realize that by riding on the subway to Union Square and transferring they can reach Coney Island on a five cent fare, this line will be very much in demand. There are numerous other points that can also be reached by a five cent fare. Canarsie is rapidly finding this to be true.

The section was decidedly busy last Sunday with curious riders alighting from their first ride on the new tube. Many took the shuttle and spent several hours at the shore front. The Ridgewood, Bushwick and Canarsie sections are today recovering from the gayety, speeches, songs and general enthusiasm that marked the official opening last Saturday. Those who rode on the train that ran from Sixth avenue, Manhattan, to Rockaway parkway, Canarsie, are recalling the notable trip, the cheering crowds that thronged every station and the various other incidents that were crowded within a few hours.

Artificial respiration was applied, but failed to bring any signs of life. In view of the fact that no burns of any kind were found on Phafferbach's body, police said they believed he suffered heart failure when he came in contact, in some way with an exposed part of the plug. Officials of the plant said the ourrent used to run the machines was not sufficient to result a serious shock, and fright was believed to have caused heart contraction AS the workman felt the sting of the curan rent.

It seems that this young woman had a letter to mail last Saturday afternoon.

Notified by passersby what she had done, and fearful of the consequenc es, iss Diguana Guinta ran into the Wilson avenue police station nearby and told Lieut. Daniel Mundy. The genial lieutenant believe her in spite of her agitation, but after hearing the noise of the fire apparatus, which just then began to clatter down the street, he understood. Then he explained to the fire off clals, and after pointing out the most obvious fact that fire -alarm boxes are red and letter boxes are green, to Miss Guinta, he released her.
