Crane of the Court of Appeals make a plea last night change in the criminal law whereby a convicted criminal who has shot down the breadwinner of a family would be put to work system of "compulsory restitution" to pay back in some measure the damage he has caused. The occasion for Judge Crane's remarks was a testimonial dinner and reception by Brooklyn Masons to Grand Master John A. Dutton of the Masons of the State of New York, held at the Hotel Astor, Manhattan. Every branch of the Masonic order was represented at the dinner, which marked the first time that the three Masonic districts of Booklyn have united to honor presiding head of the craft in the State. Judge Crane hit directly at the law as regards the treatment of prisoners and declared that "it is about time we put some sense in it." Law Has Not Progressed.

"I am thinking of the man who goes out here on 5th enters a shop and shoots down the proprietor, who is probably the breadwinner of a family. What do we do with him when he's caught? Just the same as we have done for the past 2,000 years. We take this great hulk, as he is in many cases, and put him behind gray bars, where he does little or no work. "I am in favor of a system of compulsory restitution whereby the man who has caused the loss would be made to pay back in some measure the damage he has done." Judge Crane, whose address was a plea to Masons to carry on the traditions of Masonry, called on the members of the order to continue the fight against bigotry and prejudice "so that there can be respect for all men throughout the world." He urged renewed efforts for world peace on the part of Masons and declared that the "law of reason must govern nations as the rule of reason governs our States." FIGHT SEWER TAX IN BENSONHURST L. A.

Rosen, executive manager of the United Real Estate Owners Association, announced yesterday that the association will continue its agitation for another hearing on the $2,000,000 levy in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn for a stormwater outlet. Mr. Rosen, who said that a storm of indignation has arisen among the residents of the section because of the size of the assessment, which he contends should have been made borowide, hinted that if a full exof the methods used in amination arriving at the the amount of the levy were made some irregularities might come to light. More than 14,000 property owners in the area of assessment are said to be affected by this levy. The area extends along W.

10th from Avenue to Avenue then from the intersection of Avenue and W. 11th st. to the intersection of W. 15th st. and Canal where the outlet comes into Coney Island Creek.

The program consisted of camp and songs under the leadership of Miss Florence Nichols, followed by dancing, swimming and games. A marionette show concluded the affair.

The Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, grand chaplain of the Grand Lodge, in urging a worldwide application of brotherhood as understood by Masons to bring about a "consolidated society," pleaded' with the members of his order not to "keep the light hidden under any rules of secrecy, but to reveal it to the world so that everybody will know the reality of our profession." Grand Master Dutton saw in the great gathering of Brooklyn Masonry "proof that the spirit of Masonry is alive in that great Boro of Brooklyn." Referring to the traditions of the order, he declared that "although there may be changes here and there in a few non -essentials the great fundamentals of Masonry are as lasting as the hills and the mountains. But take the fundamentals out of Masonry and you take the heart out of Masonry," he said.

Past Grand Master Melvan N. Johnson of the Massachusetts voiced the "respect and admiration" of that State for New York State Masons and its grand master, Principal among the guests on the dais were Robert Judson Kenworthy, past grand master and now grand secretary of the Grand Lodge, and John MacCrum, past grand marshal.

Dr. Alexander Lyons, rabbi of the 8th Avenue Temple, declared last night. He occupied the pulpit of Temple Sinai of Brooklyn, Arlington ave. and Bradford st. "It is overlooked." Dr.

Lyons continued, "that these Christians need to be converted to Christianity themselves. The best way for the Jew to respond the efforts. to convert him is not to get angry, not to but try to convert members of his race to Dr. Lyons pointed out that in Judaism people of his race can find all the inspiration they need and he deplored the fact that certain elements among Jewry turn to Christian Science. which, he asserted.

He maintained that the principles of Judaism are constantly receiving a wider recognition from the liberal elements in the Christian church as evidenced by the preaching of many ministers of the Gospel today.

Like mathematicians at a lecture on Einstein's theory, those who should have known what they were supposed to be keep a discreet silence and let the inadept speculate. They are 9 series of six pictures. Three donkeys, in one of them, look out of a house made of straw. Below them, three quizzical appearing men peer out. Lying in the very lowest part of the house of straw is a woman.

In the next of the series, the woman has put some clothes on and is about to mount a bicycle. with which she appears to be about to propel the house of straw some- where, while six men look out of the windows of the house. "They represent a state of mind." said one authority. "He is trying to mix Greek figures with modern mechanics ideas. You see, that an airplane and a motorcar appear off in the distance in one of them.

They are used for stage Some quite astounding works of wood carving also are drawing attention. The Russian carvers make entire little games of jack straws, also mechanical carved toys, some of which must represent a year or so of work during the evening. One mechanical carving shows two men eating their meal. By pulling a string underneath the table, one can make their cups move up and down to their mouths. Mammoth tusks tens of thousands of years old are the material for other carvings, which range from ordinary paper knives to whole little trains of horses and sleighs carved out in ivory.

A Compass That Saved Lives IT was the radio compass that made it possible for Captain Fried and the "America" to reach the helpless steamer "Florida" and save everyone on board. An article about it, written in non-technical language, makes perfectly clear the working of this silent hero of many thrilling experiences at sea.

LAWYER DISPUTES LAWES' VIEWS ON GUN FELONY LAW 1. with him? Judge Reserves Decision op Resentencing Man Sent Back by Warden. The interpretation of the Baumes Law by Warden Lewis E.

Lawes at Sing resulted yesterday in the second appearance of Thomas Sabini, 25, of 926 Boulevard, Astoria, before Judge Adele in Queens County Court. He had been sentenced to serve three years in State's Prison on' Jan. 18 on his plea of guilty to carrying a gun, but Lawes returned him to Queens, asking that he be resentenced as a second offender, the penalty of which is not less than seven years. Adel yesterday postponed resentencing Sabini on the. motion of Thomas.

Devinney, prisoner's attorney, who stated that the interpretation placed on the law by the warden was not correct. Though his client had been previously convicted of a felony, Devinney stated, the combination of both was necessary to make the charge of carrying a gun a felony. He pointed out that a man without a record can only be convicted of a misdemeanor for possession of a dangerous weapon, and that it is a felony when he has a previous conviction. It does not necessarily constitute a second offense, he argued. Judge Adel served decision until next week.
