The members have passed a resolution to have the Park Department take over the property of the Disciplinary School, which they understand is to be discontinued in the fall, and have the land converted into a public park.

Church Home for the Aged and Infirm, Park place and New Fork, avenue, served as a fitting stage the annual festival of the inmates of the institution held yesterday afternoon and evening, from 2 to 11 It was a gala day not only for the old who are their declining years under surroundings that are at once homelike and almost idealistic in character, but it also afforded happiness and pleasure to their friends and relatives, all of whom thronged the grounds to the number of 500 from shortly after luncheon hour until nearly midnight. During the early afternoon hours the litle ones who visited the place had a fine chance to enjoy the wonders of a real oldfashioned Punch and Judy show, some up-to-date exhibitions of modern magic and other novel features, including moving pictures. During the evening grounds were brilliantly lighted and the fences that surround the home were enveloped with canvas, which gave a distinct air of privacy to the affair. Over the entrance to the home were emblazoned in large white electric lamps the cheerful and inviting word, "Welcome." Even the oval-shaped bed of flowers which faces the doorstep stood out in bold relief under the softened glare of red electric bulbs. The national colors were everywhere effectively displayed in the decorations used for the occasion.

The concert in the evening was given under the direction of G. E. Conterno, whose orchestra played lively up-todate airs in its varied musical programme. The various booths, including the refreshment tables, were liberally patronized throughout the evening. The proceeds of the affair, which will be continued.

today, will be devoted to the welfare of the home. The officers of the home, all of whom either directly or indirectly contribuated to the success of the festival, included: President, Mrs. Francis Wilbur Young: vice presidents, Mrs. A. I.

Plans for Janes M. E. Church Include Close Pastoral Supervision. Janes Methodist Episcopal Church, Reid avenue and Monroe street, has just completed the most elaborate plans for summer work which it has had for some time. Instead of closing the church or leaving its parish without pastoral oversight, which has never been its custom, it has arranged for most complete service at all points.

The Rev. William S. Winans has been engaged as the summer pastor. He will preach each Sunday morning and evening during July and August, and assist in the Sunday school and young people's prayer meeting. He will also lead midweek service each Wednesday evening.

In addition to this Mr. Winans will spend on an average of two hours a day in pastoral visitation and general direction of the work, and will be at all times within direct communication for anyone who may need special pastoral service. The Sunday school will be changed to the noon hour, and will be held for one hour each Sunday, beginning at 11:50 a.m. As Janes Church has always had the reputation of ministering largely to the community, in addition to serving its own members, the committee in charge has gone to particular pains to provide most complete and efficient pastoral service as able preaching during the vacation period. The pastor, the Rev.

Dr. W. Wofford T. Duncan, will be absent in Canada and Maine during July and August. EAGLE ALMANAC IN DEMAND.

Whole Edition Sold and Orders for 1,000 Copies Unfilled, The popularity of The Eagle Almanac is increasing by leaps and bounds.

CRAM FAVORS NEW TUNNEL For B.

R. T. Cars Instead of Crossing ing Queensboro Bridge. Publio Service Commissioner Cram came out strongly yesterday in favor of a new tunnel under the East River, at Fifty -ninth street to Long Island City, for use of the B. R.

T. trains, instead of having them gO over the Queensboro Bridge. This plan is already under consideration by the Come mission, and the engineers are making a study of the question to find out the additional money involved. "The roadway on the bridge," sald Commissioner Cram, when he brought the matter up at the meeting, "would be made over 20 feet narrower, and now it is in a very badly congested condition. Even if it will cost a more, I believe we should vote to lay out this route.

The use of bridges for rapid transit trains. is out of date." ANTI-TRUST BILLS RUSHED TO SENATE All Three Jammed Through the House--One Without a Record Vote. NO CAREFUL DEBATE ON THEM. Mere Handful of Members Heard Discussion of Bills Fewer Still Spoke on Measures. Eagle Bureau, Washington, June statement 608 street.

Fourteenth, that the House of Representatives, which, last night, sent Senate the legislation ordered by the Administration, had carefully debated and considered the same is entirely wrong. It is true that the House, officially at least, has spent nearly all of its time during the last three weeks on the anti-trust question, but to let the statement end there would convey a false impression. The trust bills have not been debated by the House, but by a mere handful of members, while the great majority of representatives have been sitting in their offices, doing errands about town, smoking in the lobbies and the cloakrooms or making trips back home. No great party measure has ever dragged through 8 three-weeks debate with such a slim attendance as the Administration anti-trust programme. In its effect upon business throughout the country it may easily outrank the tariff and the currency legislation, yet it has been impossible to arouse any general interest in it.

In the first place, members have realized that there was no chance of making even a dent in the programme, so far as the House is concerned. In the second place, there are very few members of that body who are sufficiently familiar with the trust question and the Sherman law to make intelligent speeches on the subject. So the House simply turned its attention to baseball or other things more interesting. This has resulted in the spectacle of legislation having a tremendous import being perfunctorily discussed, often with less than a score of members in their seats, and rarely with as as fifty, counting Republicans and Progressives. Members of the House accepted Che programme laid out for them by the Administration as something inevitable and scarcely worth talking about.

They have not even made a pretense of vesting the debate with dignity by sitting in their seats and listening to the speeches. This applies not only to the men who are lined up with the Administration, but to those who are against it. Fess of Ohio Kept Score Card of House Attendance. Representative Simon D. Fess of Ohio, a Republican, amused himself for a period of ten days by keeping a score card on Democratic attendance during the trust debate, making a record every thirty minutes while the House was in session.

When he read the result on the floor this week It created a good deal of amusement, but stirred no other emotion. It is probable that a record of Republican attendance during the same ten days would have shown an even smaller total than the tally of Democrats. Mr. Fess said he simply wanted to prove that Democrats in the House had no interest in the Administration programme. On May 21 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, with an' appropriation bill fifteen carrying $7,000,000 before the House, Democrats were present.

Half an hour later, when Victor Murdock, the Bull Moose leader, was talking on trusts, there were sixteen Democrats. Thirteen minutes later five of them went out. At 3 o'clock five more were back again. At 3:15, when Representative Montague, a learned Democrat from Virginia, was talking on trusts, seventeen of his colleagues were present. that at various times during the day Democrats were present to the numbers of 10, 30, 25, 22, 28 and 26.

Incidentally, it may be remarked that the House for many weeks has had before it at intervals legislation which is of extreme importance, in that it provides for a wholesale revision of the laws relating to the Federal judiciary. The debate on this measure las been even more perfunctory than that on the trust bills. One amendment was passed upon by six memberg of the House, while 429 members were absent. The vote was 2 ayes and 4 noes. A lot of Democratic and Republican candidates for re-election to Congress will be stumping the country this fall, telling the voters how they fought for and against the great anti-trust programme, which has caused such wide uncertainty and unrest in the business world.

It is a sure thing that not one of them will take the platform and state the actual fact-that he did not have interest enough in what was going on even to listen to the speeches. Twenty-eight Democrats High Score for May 22. On May 22 Mr. Fess's score showed No Record Vote on Interstate Trade Commission Bill. Opposition melted away when the final test came on the three bills, the voting went through quickly and without incident.

The Covington Interstate Trade Commission bill was passed without a record vote; the Clayton Omnibus Anti-Trust measure received 275 votes to 54 against it, and the vote on the Rayburn Railroad Capitalization bill was 325 to 12. Action on the bills came rather unexpectedly, consideration of the Rayburn bill, as amended by the committee, being completed late in the afternoon. When the Trade Commission bill came before the House for a final vote, Progressive Leader Murdock inoved that it be sent back to the Interstate Commerce Committee with instructions to report the Murdock bill as a substitute. This was rejected, 151 to 19, and the pending bill was passed without a rollcall. Then the votes on the other two measures were taken in rapid succession.

Representative White of Ohio was the only Democrat to vote against the Clayton bill, and all the Progressives voted for it except Representative Chandler of New York. Forty-three Republicans and sixteen Progressives joined the majority in supporting the measure. They were: Republicans -Anderson, Barton, Burke (S. Campbell, Carey, Crampton. Curry, Davis, Dillon, Fair, Frear, French, Gardner, Green (Iowa), Haugen, Hawley, Helgesen, Kinkaid La Follette, Lenroot.

FRIENDS SCHOOL TO HAVE ANNEX Building Adjoining the Present Institution on Schermerhorn Street to Be Taken Over. Interesting exercises marked the graduation last night of two students of the High School Division at the Friends School, on street.

It was stated number of graduates was due to the severity of the final examinations this year, and on that account special credit is due to the young men who passed successfully. Dr. John L. Carver, principal of the school, presented the diplomas, and addressed a few words to the graduates, commending their good work, and urging them to keep in mind not merely the studies which they had acquired, but also the ethical lessons, which would stand them in good stead in their careers. The principal address of the evening was delivered by W.

W. Jackson, ident of the board of trustees. He said in part: "It is with regret that I tell of the withdrawal of Mrs. Janes as head of the Primary; but with pleasure that I announce that Miss Ella Woodward has accepted that important position. We who have had children under the care of Mrs.

Janes have the deepest gratitude for the fine influence she exerted over our loved ones. But we rejoice that her successor is to be Miss Woodward a who had done such fine work as director of the kindergarten, and who has inspired the open air classes, and who has helped in so many ways to secure for the children the best that the school could give. "Twelve years ago the school had reached a maximum of eighty pupils. Since that date--when the new building was erected -the school has increased to the present number of over 180. To secure needed space we huve taken the rooms on the first floor, and built three rooms in the gallery of this Meeting House; we have doubled the number of -air classrooms on the roof; and We still are overcrowded.

You will, I am sure, be glad to know that we shall next year have the building adjoining the school. This will give us a half 'dozen classrooms and also rooms for high school class organizations. It will also give us an extra play space for the small children. "Our high school department has ex1sted but a few years, during whicn time the course has been repeatedly strengthened. Within the past year the tests were made much more severe, and SO only two brave boys have come through successfully.

Next year we have promise of a fine large graduating class. "Perhaps I am telling a secret, but I happen to know that plans have been drawn for a new gymnasium building, and that through the generosity of some friends of the school we may soon have that much-needed addition to our plant." The Rev. J. Howard Melish also delivered a brief address, in which he gave the graduates several valuable points on the essentials of success. The graduates are Ernest Roswell Palmer and Shreve Parrish.

Harry A. Hanbury has evidently changed his plans and will not try to show the members of the West End Board of Trade and the residents of the section that body represents that his constitutional rights have been violated. At least he will not try to persuade residents of Bay Ridge of that fact in the near future for the executive committee of the West End Board of Trade at its meeting at 5418 Fifth avenue, last night, laid on the table Indefinitely. Mr. Hanbury's request for an open meeting of the board at which he could show his rights had been violated.

The request was tabled at Mr. Hanbury's request, and he appeared in person at the meeting to make the request. The meeting was an executive one and all reporters were excluded. At its close a statement was made that the committee had adopted resolutions presented by Mr. Hanbury to lay the matter on the table indefinitely.

According to the statement the resolutions were adopted unanimously, The meeting lasted very nearly three hours, and the question under discussion was the Hanbury matter. Any statement as to Mr. Hanbury's reason for requesting the suspension of action on his request was refused. His action in making the request seemed inexplicable in view of the telegram he sent from Albany to the meeting of the board of Monday night asking for an early opportunity to present his case. Whether or not he hopes to vindicate himself by means other than arousing public sentiment in Bay Ridge in his interest could not De learned last night from the members of the committee present at the meeting.

STOLE BARRELS TO GET FOOD Little George Albro Supported His Brother and Himself. Deserted by their father, whose wife had left him on account of his intemperate habits, George Albro, 11 years old, of 718 Wythe avenue, together with his four-year-old brother Frank, have been living in a very precarious manner in the Williamsburg section during the past few weeks. In order to obtain money enough to purchase food for his little brother and himself, George would steal empty sugar barrels, which he would dispose of for 10 cents each. Only through his continued absence from Public School No. 16, on Wilson street and Lee avenue, during which a truant officer looked him up, was the sad plight of the lads discovered.

As a result of the Investigation of Attendance Officer Thomas McKenney as to the reason of George's staying away from school, the attention of the Children's Society was called to the case, and both the father, Charles, 52 years old, and the mother, Mary, were After a thorough examination, Justice Children's Court, yesterday afternoon. before Justice A Mayo, in the summoned Mayo committed both George and Frank to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum, at the same time remarking that it caused him great sorrow to send the brave little fellow to an institution, but that under the circumstances there seemed to be no alternative. The Albros have had seven children. The wife, in court, claimed that as soon as her husband gets paid, he proceeds to get intoxicated for days. She was forced to work in a factory, where she earns $7 a week.

Her husband became more abusive towards her, and so one day she took her two young children her daughter Mary, 15 years old, and left the Wythe avenue house.
