That is the situation today. Behind it runs a story of financial reverses, hardships, a losing battle, and finally adject poverty. As children, they received the best in education, brought up In tha most genteel of homes. Their father, a man gifted with exceptional inventive acuity, became impoverished through hi efforts to introduce his crowning achievement a new process for the refining of sugar. These two sisters cheerfully took up the matter of e-curlng th necessary inooms for the family to live, and supported them- selves and their parents by sewing ant) teaching.

But as years passed, thir-earning powers decreased mor rapidly than their expenses, and things wen from bad to worse, until they finally; found themselves entirely dependent) upon the kindness of their friends and neighbors.

LICKEL LOSES LIFE ON SECOND DAY OF HIS VACATION WAS FIFTY FEET FROM SHORE Tragedy at Lake Huntington Saddens Welrfleld Street Neighborhood-Burled Wednesday Christian C. LIckel, 21 years old, of 23 Welrfleld street, who was drowned while swimming in th lake at Lake Huntington, Sullivan Coun.y, last Sunday, was buried Wednesday in rfctrthersn FuiieratTervlcesr were conducted on the previous even ing at his home by the Rev. A.

R. Hanser, pastor of the Church of Our Savior, Covert street. The untimely death of young LIckel is deeply mourned in the neighbor hood of his home, where he was very popular. For several years his smil ing countenance was known to hun dreds of readers The Chat, where ha had been at one time employed as a carrier. He started out as a helper to his older brother and remained wit him until he was given a route and later was advanced to the circulation department.

Four years ago, soon after his grad uation from Commercial High School he left The Chat employ to take up a position as assistant credit manager with Knapp A Fourth avenue and 19th street, Manhattan. Last Saturday he left home to start on a two weeks' vacation, which the firm had given him. He was joined by two friends, Henry Stegeman and Frank Doster, Brooklyn boys. During the early part of the season had made many trips to Coney Island and with the assistance of these friends had learned to swim. He was proud of the fact that he had mastered few of the Important strokes and had Intended to increase this knowledge while away on his vacatlct.

According to Hertry LIckel, the young man father, his companions were on the shore when he started out for a sfwim in the lake Ho had reached a point about fifty feet aws when hj became exhausted and, seemingly attempted' to stand on the Bottom. He disappeared and when he arose to the surface was powerless to aid himself. His companions, apparently dazed by the young man's Blight, made no outcry for help until he had disappeared for the last time. A score of vacationists went to the spot where LIckel was last seen. It was above a deep hole, of which there are many and through which the natural springs feed the lake.

After a four-hour search the body was recovered and on Monday night arrived at the Welrfleld street home. The members of the family became hysterical with grief. Young LIckel wag born In Brook lyn. He gained his elementary schooling at P. S.

to, Evergreen ave nue and Eldert street, and after hs graduation entered Commercial High School, where he also graduated. He was a member of the Young People's Society of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior. Surviving him are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry LIckel; a brother, Henry and a sister, Theresa LIckel.

Such a subway would cost a million and a half more than the right-of-way; that It would take much longer to build and that It would necessary to make several abrupt turn and construct a dangerously steep grade on the approach to the station platform of the elevated at Eastern parkway and Broadway. Mr. Brady said th Delaney route would continue on from Eldert street and Wyckoff avenue to Knickerbocker avenue, and so on to the edge of the Evergreen Cemetery property, follow ing the right-of-way and crossing Bushwick parkway from the northeast to the southeast corner of De Sales plaoe, leaving the church property un touched and then connecting, with the structure. He said the Commissioner assured the delegation there-would be as little noise as possible and that the arch over the Bushwick parkway portion would be orramtntal and would be provided with a parapet so that the cars in operation would not" be seen, Mr.

Brady criticised the action of the Brooklyn Civic Council In approv ing the Dolaney route. "There are seventy-three organizations in this council," he said, "but none of them is affected by what happens on this end." Mr. Brady bel'eved that If the plan was chanced to shift the arch further tip Bushwlok paikwuy to a point over the T. yards between Conway street and Gillen place and a tube bored beneath the Evergreen Ceme tery hi a straight llnetto th first curve in the right-of-way betweenEver- green and Central avenues. It would be satisfactory because no homes would be affected.

It Is doubtful, however, if any sub stitute plan will be submitted to the Transportation Board, following the objections of Daniel Volkmar, who declared J-hat th-i organization should concemrato ail its efforts oppose the viaduct. He assured the members that it would be unfair to suggest a route tot another location without consider. ing the objections of the residents in that location. He said the board of ficinls should select this route them selves. They have experts for thi purpose, he added.

At the outset of the meeting, Thomas J. Hughes, representing the Moffatt Street Neighborhood Association, made an earnest plea for the Delaney route solution of the-problem and indicated He described it. os(he best possible that tha organization should send a letter of commendation to Mayor Hylan tor appointing John Delaney chair man of the Transportation Board. He said he felt certain that In this ap polntment the city will get. the transit acuities it requires.

Mr. Hughes con eluded by declaring he Is unalterably in lavor of the viaduct connection, "What about tho people living in thel immediate vicinity' of this asked Chairman Gallagher. "They have rights and that Is why we have organized to protect them. This via duct will be a detriment to their prop erty. The light and air will be shut off from thorn and the value of their property will depreciate." This was verified by a member aris ing to assert that th concrete wall will be directly in back of his twi stqry house In the vicinity of WHion avenue, towering to such an extent the occupants will be living in a regu lar indicator.

Mr. Hughes asserted that his ov property In Moffatt street would be affected, but was willing to put up with tne conditions as. they mav be as sacrifice for transit improvement. Air. Hughes tola how he and Alder man Haubert started th agitation for a subway in the section eighteen years ago ana oi tne subsequent difficulties, obstacles and changes that developed with tha years, On the motion by Mr.

It was voted to have a circular printed calling upon me property owner In the vicinity to attend the mass meetlnic Mon day night to make final preparations ror tne. conference Tuesday morning with Commissioner Delaney, when a definite docision will be given as to tho routo to be adopted.

READING COMIC SHEET GIRL FALLS THREE STORIES Mollle Gordon, 8, of 582 Gates ave- nue, fell three stories off a fire escape Sunday afternoon, but the only Injury Dr. Smith from St. John's Hosnltal was able to find wa an abrasion of the knee.

She remained at home. Monie wa reading th "funny nheet" when th accident occurred. She was seated on th tecond or third sttp of the fir escape just outside her apartment window on the third floor. She laid another "funny" on th Iron railing of tha escspe. The wind blew this.

Mollle in trying to retrieve it lost her balance and fell thirty-five icet, lanaing on the cement walk In the yard. There was nothing to break her fall and persons In the house who heard her screams thought she had been badly Injured. Harold Rnyflcld, a tenant in the house, picked up the girl and carried her upstairs and then Dr. Smith was called. "What became of th "funny sheet?" asked Mollle when she recovered from tha fright Child Hit by Auto While crossing Halsey atreet, near Knickerbocker avenue.

The child auftered contusion and was tffcn bime. to to be of While other organization have voted approval and ure petitioning for Its adoption, the proposed plan of the Board of Transportation for tha final link tn the 14th street-Eastern route, which provides an elevated structure, including an ornamental viaduct, has struck a snng in the opposition voiced at t'hs meeting Wednesday night by the Upper Bushwlck Civic Association in Lourdes Parish Hall, Aberdeen street and Eroodway. The organization will stick by Its guns and urgently demand a subway.

The action to be taken will be first made known to tho Board of Transportation at a conference arranged by Commissioner' Delancy with a delega tion from th4 Upper Bushwick organi zation for next Tuesday morning. Likened to the famed Chinese wail and also characterized a. a place for fruitful operation by thugs and holdup men beneath its dark archways, the viaduct to extend over Bushwick park way from De Sales place to a point beyond Eastern parkway. in line with the right-of-way of the Long Island Railroad Company, was denounced as a danger rather than an improvement.

"We will be going back 5,000 years," one indignant member declared in voicing his protest. "A structure of this kind will be nothing more than a Chinese wall. It will be the same thing as Atlantic avenue when they built Ihe elevated structure for the Long Island Railroad Company. This waa to be a modern structure, noiseless, etc. Now they want it removed, I doubt if this viaduct will be ornamental or noiseless, as they say." At this juncture Eugene A.

Calla-gher, the chairman, emphatically declared that Mayor Hylan had promised the organization there would be no more elevated railroads. 'This organization," he "will fight for a subway this end, and I will give my support as long as the members and property owners will stand back of me." Agreeing with the chairman, Leo F. Kearns asserted that if money is the only object he believed the taxpayers would consent to, the city expending the necessary amount as long as it will keep away the elevated structure. He advised thst a route satisfactory to the organization be adopted to be submlted at Tuesday's conference and that an agitation be started among the property ov.ners to urge approval of this route. Joseph J.

Bauman declared he was against any proposal that will create a dangerous condition. These arches," he said, "will mean, as we know, darkened thoroughfares where peaceful citizens will be placed at the mercy of thugs and hold-up men. "They say they'll deaden the sound of trains passing over the structure. What they will dc Is deaden us. They will kill us." Mr.

Baumann brought up the question of the contract of 1903, which specified the construction of an elevated structure throughout tho entire length of the railroad right-of-way. He called attention also to the fact that in the change from an elevated to a subway. In the lower end, which will now extend through Wyckoff avenue, this contract, was broken. "If they can break the first part of a ha said, "they can break the last paSt, or any other part they desire. I am sure any lawyer will bear ma out In this.

A contract Is binding, word for word, and cannot be broken partially. So I stand for a subway. They will eventually have to come to a subway," because all this junk pile (referring to the elevated structure In the vicinity of Broadway and Eastern parkway, where the re malning link is to connect up) cannot stay. Eventually the people on the othur side fit will want a subway W. M.
