Three persons in Brooklyn were killed and many were injured in motorcar accidents during the Labor Day week-end. Two deaths and seven injuries resulted from the smashup of a heavy commercial truck which was used to carry passengers during the B. R. T. strike.

The truck accident occurred Sunday afternoon on Broadway, near Pilling st. The vehicle carried twenty passengers and was operated by Altro Rubin of 3927 Industrial Flint, who had come to Brooklyn to get his share of the profitable returns from the strike. To avoid another car which was dashing up Broadway as he turned into it from Pilling Rubin made a quick turn of the wheel to one side, and the heavy machine plunged to the sidewalk and into the store of John Kramer at 1785 Broadway. Rubin did his best to work the brakes, but it was too late. The truck crashed through the plateglass windows and smashed its way through the store until it came out at the Pilling st.

side, and stopped in view of hundreds of worshippers who were just coming out of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. Two of the passengers were dead and seven others had received cuts and 1 bruises.

Alderman Frank Cunningham, chairman of the Finance Committee, of 237 Baltic had his right leg fractured and his face and body cut up in a motorcar collision at Atlantic and Schenectady Sunday night. He was removed to St.

John's Hospital, where it was said today that he is progressing favorably although he will not be able to leave the hospital for some James Raleigh of 57 Atlantic was in the car with Cunningham and is also in the hospital with a fractured right collarbone and cuts on the head. Jack Marder of 346 Sutter was the driver of the car which collided with that in which the Alderman was riding. He was arrested at the Atlantic ave. police station charged with felonious assault. Marder and two friends were also injured in the collision.

A policeman at 9th ave. and 8th st. yesterday was directing all traffic to the side streets, when an automobile, driven by Herbert A. Keschoff of 1809 10th who claimed that he did not see the signal of the officer in time, endeavored to turn his car into 8th but the brake did not work and the car ran upon the sidewalk and struck an apartment house wall on the corner and on the way struck Charles Robinson of 316 12th 8 years old. who was playing on the sidewalk.

Sept. 7--The furbathing suit, especially designed to protect at least a portion of the wearer's anatomy from the chill fall winds, made its debut here on Sunday afternoon.

Its vogue lasted less than three minutes, as a Long Beach policeman spotted the daring damsel who wore it as she was dashing toward the wave, shook a wicked finger at her and pointed to the fashionable bath house from which she had emerged, and she beat a hasty, though sprightly, retreat, taking as long and roundabout course as she could. so that the style students who thronged the beach might get a chance to take in the of the new garment. A mere male Eagle reporter sitting on the sand, who got a fleeting glimpse of the girl as she dashed by, will make an affidavit that he saw 75 percent girl Roosevelt Here Addresses Labor Day Paraders. from a nearby hospital, it was found that the child was probably not hurt severely, but the officer gave Kerschoff a summons for reckless driving.

Noted Lecturer and Author. Dr. Samuel Sheldon, 58 years old, of Schermerhorn professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn for the past 31 years, died Saturday evening of Bright's disease at the Addison House, Middlebury, which town was his early home and he had spent his summer vacations there for many years. With him at the time of his death were his only son, Samuel Sheldon of Brooklyn, and his only surviving sister, Mrs. Susan B.

Miner of Middlebury. The funeral services were held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the residence of Dr. Sheldon's niece, Mrs. Frank J. Hubbard, in Middlebury, the Rev.

L. B. Holmes of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of MARCEAU DR. SAMUEL SHELDON that town, officiating.

The burial was also in Middlebury, where his wife, who was Frances Warner Putnam of Brooklyn, died in 1914. Dr. Sheldon was born in Middlebury on March 8, 1862, the son of Harmon Alexander and Mary Bass Sheldon. He was graduated from Middlebury College in 1883 with the degree of A. B.

and then pursued graduate work, receiving the degree of A. M. in 1886. During the next two years he studied at Wurzburg, Germany, and received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy there in 1888. During a part of this time he was associated with Kohlrausch, the distinguished physicist, bra his celebrated determination of the ohm as the unit of electrical resistance.

He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from the University of Pennsylvania in 1906, and from Middlebury College in 1911. Dr. Sheldon came to the Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn in 1889, after a year spent at Harvard as instructor of physics, and upon his coming he was honored with full professorship in physics and electrical engineering. He was then in his 27th year. His thorough command of his subjects, together with the enthusiasm and energy which he exhibited in the lecture room, gained for him a reputation one of the foremost educators in engineering profession.

His strong points as a teacher were his inspiring and sympathetic personality, keen analytical mind, executive and co-operative ability, and tremendous capacity for work. Illness in 1909 necessitated a long vacation, and he chose to spend it in a trip to Europe, where he had an opportunity to visit the principal engineering schools of Germany, the British Isles, France and Italy. Upon his return to Brooklyn his popularity at the Institute was demonstrated when alumni students and faculty united in a welcome-home dinner. Afgain, in 1914, upon the completion of his 25th year of service, a testimonial dinner was given him at the Hotel Astor. Over 1,000 graduates of the Polytechnic have received instruction from Dr.

Sheldon and a majority of them held him in such affectionate regard that he was popularly known to them as "Sammy." Many his former students became men of renown in the engineering world. Among them are Bancroft Gherardi, vice president and chief engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and Arthur W. Berresford, president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. An interesting association between pupil and teacher is recalled in the case of Charles E. Potts, treasurer of the Corporation of the Polytechnic Institute, who was a student in one of Dr.

Sheldon's early classes. Mr. Potts in 1916 in memory of his father endowed the Thomas Potts professorship of physics and chose this department of the institute for his benefaction ing to his affection for Dr. Sheldon. The latter thus became the cumbent of the chair and held it up to the time of his death.

Subsequently to this donation Mr. Potts established laboratories in physics and electrical measurements and also a wellequipped lecture room. Dr. Sheldon was the author and joint author of several college textbooks. Among them were "DirectCurrent Machines," "AlternatingCurrent Machinery," "Electric Traction and Transmission Engineering" and "Physical Laboratory Experiments." He had also written a number of monographs and papers on special topics.

Dr. Sheldon was. 2 fellow of the American Electro -Therapeutic A AssoSciences, honorary fellow of the American Electro-therapeutic Association, fellow and past president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, member of the American Physical Society, member and past president of the New York Electrical Society, member of the American Electro-Chemical Society. member of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. member and past president of the United Engineering Society and chairman of its library committee, member of the Brooklyn Institute Arts and Sciences and president of its department of electricity.

As a. consulting engineer Dr. Sheldon was frequently called to give expert testimony on patent cases in State and Federal courts. His son, is employed in the traffic department of the New York Telephone Company. VAN DRIVERS STILL OUT Though the strike of the moving van drivers has been in progress a week, neither side showed any signs of yielding today.

The strikers had two days' pay coming to them when they went out and this they collected on Saturday. The bosses, however, think that by the end of the week the men will begin to get short of funds and will then be ready to talk business. From Freeport, L. comes the story of how Frank Tinney nearly got moved to Manhattan. Frank Bailey, the Freeport vanman, loaded Tinney's household furniture on to a van and motored to the city, where strikers threatened to burn the van After if he making attempted to unload several unsuccessful attempts to get the furniture off the van Bailey drove buck to Freeport with the load.

The Woman Voter The feminine Democrats of the 20th A. D. have declared "Big Lohr, organizer of the Hylan Neighbors, sociation, persona non grata, because in the plans for the third annual motorcar outing to Glen Cove on Sept. 19, the women are left out. William The Spring story is that Tom O'Keefe, the secretary and George Braun, whose wife is the leader for the district of the Democratic women, wished to include the women, but were outvoted by Lohr and his followers.

The protest against August Flamman by the women of the 20th A. D. on account of his suffrage record continues. As Republican candidate for Municipal Court Justice opposed to Harrison Glore, he claims that he has always supported suffrage, but the women insist that in 1915 he did not vote for suffrage and had so acknowledged to Mrs. C.

O. Blaisdell, although he had previously promised her to vote for it. The protest comes largely from the Unity Club which is supporting Glore and claiming that although Glore was formerly anti-suffrage, he had treated the women fairly and extended them every right and courtesy. Mrs. Mary F.

O'Malley, leader of the Democratic women of the 21st A.D., is keeping the women well in line for Charles J. Druhan, candidate for Supreme Court Justice. "Although his number is 22 on the ballot." she said today, "I am sure he his share of the votes." Mrs. O'Malley has an active committee working for the Democratic judicial and local candidates. There is a possibility of the women being barred from voting in November in New Jersey, Louisiana and Mississippi on account of State election laws which without special action of the legislatures do not allow the women to fully qualify in time.

Mississippi requires registration at least four months previous to an election. The status of women in New Jersey and Louisiana has not yet been learned by the National Woman's party, which has conducted a canvass of the 48 States. voters" tonight by League of "The mass meeting for, unbossed Women Voters at the Central Y. M. C.

A. is looked upon by party leaders as a trial of strength of the forces opposing Senator Wadsworth. Although Democratic women will speak to comply with the constitutional rules of the league, by which every meeting must have more than one political party represented, the main object of the meeting is to boost Mrs. Ella A. Boole's campaign against the Senator.

Criticism has been made that the Prohibition and Socialist parties are seldom represented at league meetings. The answer given by Miss Elizabeth Collier is that there are few members of those parties in the league. The 10th A. D. Republican Club will hold a pre-primary candidates' meeting at the clubhouse, 175 South Oxford on Thursday night.

Mrs. Annie L. Patterson-Jones, leader of the Democratic women of the Third A. has resumed active political work and has called a meeting of the women tomorrow night at the clubhouse, 314 Clinton st. Directions regarding the primary will be given.

Judicial and local candidates have been invited to meet the women informally. Mrs. Martha Guilfoyle, executive member of the Women's Seawanhaka Democratic Club, will return to Brooklyn from a Canadian trip on Thursday and has called a meeting of the women for that Candidates will address the meeting and Mrs. Guilfoyle will explain the ballot for the primary.

It had been announced that a dozen girls would brave the ocean waves in suits of ermine, otter, seal, mink and other fashionable skins, but they evidently became timid when the leopard-skin girl was shooed from the sands. A straw vote taken along the rail near the Nassau Hotel showed that the fur fad will have small chance of displacing in popular favor the human cuticle now so much in evidence at Long Beach.

P. Saxe of the army air service, at Mitchel Field, were killed yesterday afternoon when a Curtiss airplane of the JN-6-H type crashed to the ground from a height of about 700 feet within a block of the tennis courts at Forest Hills Gardens, Queens. The accident happened while the national singles championship matches were in progress and was witnessed by a crowd of 9,000 persons. Lt. Grier was piloting the machine, and Sgt.

Saxe was operating a camera. They left Mitchel Field about fifteen minutes before the accident to take photographs of the tennis matches. Three times the big machine had swooped low over the tennis courts, but the drone of the engine and Grier's daring maneuvers created only a mild diversion among the spectators who were interested mainly in the tennis play. The fourth time they passed over the courts, and when the plane was at a height of about 706 feet, the hum of the motor was broken suddenly. Looking up, the spectators saw the machine appear to hang in the air a moment.

Then it tilted went into a nose dive and shot downward. It struck in a vacant field Yellowstone ave. and the boulevard. Drops Near Throng. For a moment, as the giant machine had hung menacingly over the crowded grandstand, there was Ta semblance of panic among the crowd, but this disappeared as it' passed harmlessly over their heads on its downward dash, and with the noise of its striking the ground there was a concerted rush by thousands for the spot.

The first to reach the fallen plane were John Becker and Cloger, who were passing in a Kelly- Walton ambulance, in which they were transporting a patient to the Bradford Street Hospital. The machine had struck with such force that its motor was buried two feet in the earth, while its outstanding parts had crumpled and folded upon themselves, penning the two aviators as if in a cage. Scores of spectators fell to and removed the wreckage to liberate the stricken men. A surgeon from the Bradford Street Hospital who was with Becker and Cloger, pronounced Grier dead and Saxe dying. There was no room in the ambulance, SO they were lifted into a motorcar owned by C.

Saxe handled practically every big photograph job for the Army, flying over the State buildings in nearly every State capital, taking pictures of the buildings and in this way coming into contact with many governors whom he numbered among his friends. He also took pictures of the race. between Shamrock IV and the Resolute, and was one of the men in the De Haviland 4 which fell 1.000 feet into New York Bay on July 22, one of the days Saxe went out to take pictures of the yachts.
