DR. BERRY, ADJ. GEN. Boro Hero of World War Consid ered for Old Post-Ex-Secre tary Leads for Reappointment George R. Van Namee is likely to be Governor-elect Smith's cholfce for secretary and Dr.

Charles W. Berry of Brooklyn may be appointed again as Adjutant General, according to goS' sip in Democratic circles today. AI Smith has declined to discuss any oi his impending appointments publicly yet, but ho has been giving the sub. Ject consideration since he returned from his vacation, and the matter of relccting the more Immediate' mem bers of his staff will be taken up for settlement within the next week. Such men as the Secretary, the Ad iutant General and the Military Sec retary, who play an important part in me inauguration ceremonies on New lear Day, are usually the first appointments to bo announced by a.

new Governor, because they must be Picked in time to prepare for the Jan. 1 event. Smith has Indicated that he intends to make these selec tions very soon. Mr. Van Namee is regarded as the logical choice for secretary, although no definite statement has been made by the new Governor.

Van Namee was secretary to Smith during a large part or his last term at Albany and then was appointed to membershiD on the up-stete Public Service Commission. Since his retirement two years ugo wnen uie commission was reorganized by Miller, Van Namee has been practicing law. When the Smith boom for Governor began to assume definite form, ne became active in that. At Syracuse he was In constant attendance at the Smith headquarters, acting in the same capacity ho had for his old chief in the Executive Chamber, He was one of the managers of the campaign that followed, and since tne election he has been again in con tinual association with the Governor- elect, this time at the Biltmore, where Smith has maintained hia political and ofTicIal headquarters. Tammany leaders understand that he is to assume his old duties at Albany on Jan.

1, without doubt, unless the Governor desires to appoint him to some more important post. "He'll probably start us secretary anyway, was the way one Tammany leader expressed it. The selection of Dr. Berry for Ad jutant General is not so near settlement. It is stated by men close to both the Governor and to Berry that he "can have it If he wants it," but there seems to be a doubt as to whether the physician would accept the post.

He has been practicing continuously in South Brooklyn since his retirement, has built up a considerable clientele, and iias told friends that ho "regarded the situation as different than two years Then he had been away to tho Mexican border and to -France fighting with the 106th and upon his return had no practice demanding his attention. "Tho appointment has not been offered to me yet and I would not discuss it until it was." Dr. Berry said when asked aboilt it today. Dr. Berry is a close friend of the Governor-elect, and his administration of the ofllco before was very satisfactory to Smith.

Further, it is understood that the Governor would like to have him in the place again. He is chairman of the Kings County Democratic General Committee, and would have the organization Indorsement for appointment. HINTON ABANDONS FLIGHT DP AMAZON Para, Brazil, Dec. 6-r-Lt.

And Placed in Daniel Chester French, the sculp tor, has finished tho model of the memorial to tho late Alfred T. White by which Mr. White's friends propose to recognize tho lenal services he rendered Brooklyn. The model of tho "memorial was exhibited, yesterday, at the studio of Mr. French.

12 W. 8th Manhattan. The memorial Is to be cast in bronze, to bo mounted on a background of stone within an enclosed area In the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, with which Mr, White was closely identi fied. The place was selected for two reasons: Mr. White's association with the gardens, the possession of which the owes lnreplv to Vila Initiative, interest and support, and also because it seems to typify expressly the traits for which was so widely known and revered his love of nature, his human interest and sympathy, his desire to serve the community.

Alt red T. White was Brooklyn's most useful" citizen and there was not a humanitarian interest to which ne am not lend his sympathy and support. He was tne founder of the first model tenements here, and all his life he gave himself to loving service for the community, the poor, the ill, the unfortunate, without distinction. When he died liis friends determined the memory of Mr. White should bo perpetuated by a permanent memo rial so that the citizens of today and of tomorrow should have ever before mem a symooi to quicken tneir per- ceptlon of his high character and his notable achievements.

Daniel Chester French modeled the heroic figure in the Lincoln Memorial Temple in Washington. In the field of plastic art he unsurpassed by any sculptor in Ameiica. The White memorial model is dig nified and loftv iu its conception. The figure of a woman is shown bending forward to pluck some sprigs of laurel with which to weave a wreath. The figure of a child beside her typifies Mr.

White great love of children. It Is hoped to have the memorial In place by next spring. The cost will be about $25,000, of which part has already been raised. Edwin P. May-nard, president of the Brooklyn Trust Company, la treasurer of tho Memryial Committee which Includes: Frederic B.

station that there was no immediate danger of the fire spreading, most of those who had fled their homes returned. The flames gutted the upper story of the old 2-story structure adjoining the new power house, with an accompanying loss of 70,000. The building had been used for experimental purposes by engineers of the Transit Company. The fire was discovered by Patrolman Charles Herd of the Clymer st. station, who noticed flames shooting from the upper windows of the build ing.

He sounded an alarm and notified employees In the plant. The first call brought Deputy Fire Chief Patrick Maher. who. owing to the high winds and the proximity of many factory buildings and tenement nouses, caused a second and third alarm to be sounded. These alarms brought the flreboats Abram S.

Hewitt, William C. Strong and Purroy Mltehel. Employees of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company stationed at the tanks of the Nassau branch, near by, were on hand with fire apparatus, aiding the firemen In their efforts to confine the flames to the building In which they started.

DEFENSE CHALLENGES HERRIN VENIREMAN, KIN OF DEFENDANT By WALTER YCST. (Special Correspondent of The, Eagle.) Marion, Dec. 6 Three veniremen tentatively accepted by both sides wait for a fourth man to fill up the last panel of jurors In the Herrin massacre trial today. But It doesn't mean anything. They sat in the box all day yesterday and part of tho day before.

And whether they will last today depends on what is called "legal strategy." Nathan lJendland a farmer, had a fight once with the carpenters' union, He also owns to an opinion. That makes him a "bad" juror for the defense. But ho insists he "can brush aside his opinions." That makes hira "good" for the State. He sits in this hazardous last panel along with Charley Mclnturff, a farmer, and Robert Ritchie, a union coal miner. Otis Clark, one of the five defend ants in this trial, married Mclnturff's cousin.

But Mclnturff has an "opinion which th rlpfpnsn nnnnrAntlv doesn't like, because he has been twice challenged by the defense. Judge Hartwell has twice refused to sustain that challenge. Mclnturff declares he can be a "fair and impartial" Juror, and that saves him for the prosecution. Ritchie, the Onion miner, stated It would take "something more than evidence to remove his opinion." However, these three men remain tentatively ace pted. For how long t'nds on the "legal strategy" oi both sides, which afe.ee that what is wanted is a fair and impartial jury.

Yesterday the defense excused for cause 10 farmers, a painter and a jack of all trades. They all owned to an "opinion on the guilt or innocence of the parties who did the killing at the Lester strip mine last 'June." 'Lawyer George R. Stone, for the defense, did his best to retain Alva O'Neill, 30, the Jack of all trades. Alva is a painter and a. member of the painters union.

"I've farmed, railroaded a llttlo, painted some," ho said. On top of that he used to bo a member of the paperhangers'. union and was one of tho organizers of a hod-carriers' local. He said he was not prejudiced against the five defendants because they represented Organized Labor. Lawyer Stone questioned Alva for close on to an hour.

He got his pedigree and explained the duty of the jurors in a murder trial, but neglected to ask Alva whether ho was biased or not. Lawyer Stone in the end passed Alva over to the State, and Otjs T. Glenn for the State immediately put the pertinent questions. "I have a fixed opinion; I've expressed it and I'd be an unfair said Alva. Even then he wasn't challenged for cause; but the defense went into conference.

After a few minutes the defense asked Judge Hartwell to adjourn court so that the conference might be continued and a report made today. Stone, for the defense, however, stooped over the shoulder of Glenn, for the prosecution. Then ho addressed Judge Hartwell: "I was under the Impression that the State might object to a challenge for cause, but inasmuch as Mr. Glenn says there is no objection I'll challenge Alva O'Neill for cause." And Alva left the bos and court was adjourned. MAJ.
