One of the features of this ached ule is the plan of the Board of Water Supply to request the Civil Service Commission to grant approval, along with the Board of Estimate, of the special title for the job of (policing the lands where the construction will take place.

It is planned to employ men eligible for appointment to the Police Department for this work, i In this plan, the action will be similar to that already taken by the Board of Transportation where police eligibles were taken on as station supervisors. They did not of course, lose their status as police eligibles, and take their appointments as patrolmen as soon as their place is reached. Of the $17,600,000 approved by the Board of Estimate, $12,600,000 is tentatively set aside for actual construction contracts during the next two $1,600,000 is set aside for the acquisition of the necssary lands, rights of way, easements, and about for salaries and other con tingent expenses. It is estimated that It will take about 12 years to complete the Delaware Water project, but that In about seven years, the work will have progressed sufficiently to pro vide enough water for the purposes of this city to- remove for many years any possibility of a shortage. As one of the arguments for the construction of this new source of water supplv, Llthgow Osborne, State Commissioner of Conservation, told the Board of Estimate, that the steady demands of the city consumption was ruining the under ground water sunply of the wells In Long Island.

He declared that already many of the wells were filling with salt water as the fresh water was being drained off. FRUCONE women's groups which plan to at tend.

But Judgo Martin did not know Worthley In the days of his strength. Worthley was a broken-down ex-convlct when Judge Martin was first brought In touch with him.

That was just 11 years ago this week. With more than SO years of experience behind hun as a lawyer, an assistant district attorney and a judge of the county court Judge Martin has some very definito views on the problem of dealing with the criminal. Theso views are born of experience and not based on theory. "There has been some severo criticism." said Judge Martin yes terday, "about the parole system simply because some men ont on parole were found again committing crime. Of course, completion of tho full sentence would bo no guarantee that an ex-convlct would not again commit a crime.

Moreover, the abolishment of the parole system would not prevent crime. It would Increase crime, lor wouia rob a prisoner of any incentive to gain the confidence of those In a position to grant him his liberty again. "Not the parole system as such, but In the lack of provision for the ex-convlct to get started right after ho is discharged from prison. Is what paves tho way for tho return of the ex-convict to crime. "As tho situation now stands tno watching with prldo and trying to find their own boy or girl In the great crowd.

Term 4. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMERICAN FLAG In the year 1776 the first commercial flag of Englnnd was born.

It was known as the Red Ensign or Meteor Flag. It consisted of a red field, a blue canton (rectangular division of a shield), the red cross of St. George of England and the white cross of St. Andrew of Scotland. In the year 1801, when Ireland was Joined to the Union, ths cross of St Patrick was added: making the Union Jack of ths prs-ont day.

On the red field of the Meteor Flag, In the year 1775, the American Colonists placed six whit stripes; they retained th canton, which represented th Empire, now they had 18 stripes to represent the 18 colonies. This flag was raised by Washington at Csmbrldg. Jan. 2, 1778, and It was the first dls. tlnctlve flag representing th Colonial I'nlon, On Jun 14.

1777, Congress re. moved the crosses from the canton and replaced thm by a circle of 12 whit stars, and Congress resolved: "That th flag of the United State Justice in his pocket. Luciano, who is a big fellow, grabbed me and said, 'Come on. spill it out or I'll crush your brains out right now, with my "I was scared to death. I had MOO in my pocket Morris Diamond then came over and he said.

'Come on. Give us the dope. We have all the information. We only want to check it up. You tell us and then shut up.

This is a big gang and if you squeal you'll be bumped "Then I told them what time the messengers left with the payroll. They let me alone for a little while and I began to realize what would happen. I thought maybe I would switch them off, so I told them about a fake payroll that wenx-aut of the bank about 2:80 Friday afternoon. "I told Morris Diamond about this supposed payroll, thinking that it they tried to pull that one off first It would go wrong and they would get scared and everything would be all over. Then I told them.

You fellows got me in trouble enough. Let me go home. They told me to keep my mouth shut and go on home. Morris Diamond told me they wouldn buy my car, but if I wanted It stolen they woud do It and I could collect the insurance. AFTER Joe, Morris and Pan tan talked the police rounded up John Farina and sent out a world wide alarm for George DeSaro, Farina and DeSaro, the police were led to believe, were the actual killers.

The Diamonds were on the job. Morris overseeing the hold-up and Joe at the wheel. Murder indictments were re turned against all four. Pantano, because of his fathers wealth and political influence, won wide sympathy. Hundreds of persons believed his story of intimidation and finaUy he won commutation of sentence to life Imprison ment after Gov.

Al Smith bad been deluged with letters, telegrams and personal pleas from many distin guished Brooklynltes, many of them officeholders. "Whltcy" Diamond was convicted on Feb. 9, 1924; Joseph Diamond on Feb. 16; Farina on Feb. 20 and Pantano on Feb.

28. Ths two Dia mond boys and Farlno were electrocuted at Sing Sing on April 20, 1925. after several appeals and new trials had been held. Pantano was slated to die in the chair during the week of July 126. but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment It was not until Dec.

1924, that Gcorgo Posaro, the fifth member of the band. who. with Farlno, nrea and killed Barlow and McLaughlin. was recognized and arrested in Palermo, Italy. The Italian penal code provides that no Italian citixen can be extradited once he comes within the jurisdiction of the law of Italy, which explains the reason for Da-saro'a trial In Palermo.

Soon hunger sialics ms pain, wum then? "It does seem to me that there should be some place where the ex-convict on his release from prison mitrht be housed and fed. until he has gotten honest work that will enable him to make his own way. "That is not coddling the ex-con vict but would be a very efficient means of keeping ex-convicts from a return to crime." TN substantiation of his views of how an ex-convlct might bo kept from crime.

Judge Martin can well point to the case of Edward Arthur Worthley. Twelve years ago Worthley stood before Judge Martin for sentence on a charge of burglary. He had entered a furnished room on Ft. Greene pi. and taken some clothes, all of which had been recovered.

Seventeen of tho 24 years before he came up for sentence before Judge Martin he had spent In prison. He was then a broken down man and seemed much older than his 65 years. "I would certainly hate to see you die In prison on a sentence fixed by me," said Judge Martin to worth-ley. "Do you mean. Judge." asked Worthley in a faltering voice as tears welled In his eyes, "that I am not going back to prison." "That is Just what I mean," said Judge Martin.

"You have never had a chance. Everybody ran away from you when you made your first slip." "Judge." again asked the frail prisoner at the bar as he raised a quivering hand, "you mean it when you say I don't have to go back up there?" "Yes." said Judgo Martin. "You are going to stay down here and I'm going to look after you. If you play fair with me. I will look out for you, and if you die before me, will see that you get decent bun.

ial. Now. here are a few dollars to take care of you for a few days, and in the meantime I will get you a job. I will look for one myself for you." JUDGE MARTIN got Worthley a job In a glass works. He kept constant supervision of him.

One day, however. Judge Martin brought him up with a sharp turn. Judge Martin was riding on a surface car on Myrtle when he saw Worthley intoxicated at the corner of Jay st and Myrtle ave. Arriving at the court. Judr Martin sent out a county detective who knew Worthley.

to get him. Sitting as a magistrate. Martin committed him to the county jail for six months so that be might straighten out. When Worthley had completed that torm Judgo Martin fnt for him again and again took him under his supervision. After that wherever Judge Mar tin was, Worthley was not far away.

He would stand outside of Judtra Martin's home and wait for him each morning. He would be found In or around the county court while Judge Martin was sitting. The clothes be wore were those Judge Martin gave him, and when he was hungry Judge Martin provided him with food. "Whore Is Worthloy now," Judgo Martin was asked. "I don know, but I would like to know," be answered.

"Ho must be dead, for he would come to see mo if he were alive and I would be glad to see him. This much Is certain. He kept faith with me and never committed a crime after I gave htm his chance 12 years ago." Drawn by JOHN Rugso be 18 stripes, alternate red and white; that th union 11 stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation." This flag was probably raised for th first Urn at Fort Stanwlx, New York, Aug. 1777. At first a new stripe and a new star were added for each Stat.

It was seen, however, that this would mako the flag too large, and In 1818, Congress voted to return to IS stripes, but to add a new stir for each nw State.

Then in 1920, with President Wilson out of tho running, tho Kings County delegation entrained for San Francisco with hopes for Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Governor Cox of Ohio became the choice of tho Democratic convention that vear. and thpr wnn move to name the popular "Al as vice rreBident.

There was high authority for the statement that Governor Smith turned down the suggestion upon the advice of Kings County Leader McCooey and Tammany Leader Murphy, who wenj couvincea mat a KcpuDUcan victory in November was in tho off. ing. The leaders offered second place to another New Yorker, who had been Assistant Secretary of the Navv under WilKnn nnrl fn whim truth to tell, the organization lead ers or tne state had little use. He was Franklin Delnno PnnKevolt nnri he had upset the organiiation apple cari, wnue a state Senator, and helped defeat "Blue Eyed" Billy Sheehan, a Lieutenant-Governor of the State for the United States Senate some years before. Cox and Roosevelt were defeated, although the Democrats, including those in tho Kings County organization, worker! hnrri fnr Yiim Senator Warren G.

Harding, of Ohio, who had defeated Cox, had died in office and been succeded in the White House by Calvin Cool-idge when the 1924 conventions were in session. President Coolldge was nominated In Kansas City. The Democrats engaged in the gi veiling convention in old Madison Square Garden. Alabama was there with her oft-repeated "Alabama casts 24 "votes for Un-der-wood." Tummany Leader Charles Murphy had died and there were good politicians who thought that had he lived there would have been no prolonged deadlock between tho William G. McAdoo forces and those of Governor Smith.

Tho new Tammany leader. Kings County Loader McCooey and the other Smith chiefs, did all they could to win with Smith, and finding that hopeless, turned to the defeat of McAdoo, a son-in-law of 1'residcnt Wilson. William Jennings Bryan was with the McAdoo forces. He had worked hard for the Callfornlan and against Tammany. And suddenly, as the rumor spread that John W.

Davis, of Virginia and Locust Valley, L. was to be the compromise choice of the convention, "Old Bill" Bryan disappeared from the convention floor. Was ho to bolt the ticket? Oh, no, the compromise on Davis, a corporation lawyer of the highest attainments. Included the nominal ion for Vice President of Governor Charles Bryan, of Nebraska, "Brother Charley." There was little morn to that election than to the beating Harding had given Cox. Coolldgo's popular vote was his electoral vote, JS2.

Davis received a popular vole of Jt.SS6,6J and an electoral vote of 1116. There was a third candidate, the late Senator Robert M. La Follette, of Wisconsin, running as a Progressive party candidate as another Teddy Roosevelt, secured an astonishing popular vole of 4.883,666, but only 18 electoral votes. President Coolldge "chosfi" not to run again in 1928 and Herbert Hoover whs tho choice of the Republicans In Kansas City, while Governor Smith, in his fourth term In was nominated down In Houstan, Texas, and made a bold statement as to his pronounced wet views, which helped him little in dry territory.
