Another hearing on the application Of
the New York Central railroad, for per-
mission to improve its terminal facilities
by widening Park avenue between Forty
fourth and Fifty-sixth streets and the closing
Of the intervening streets. was held yester-
day by the Board of Estimate There was
again large delegation Of property owners
To protest. At the last meeting they in
sisted that there was no need to close the
streets as tho improvements could be
carried out by depressing the tracks
Comptroller Grout said that in the past
thirty years the city had spent nearly
90 900 900 a. its share of improvements for
the New York Central

After the protests Of the property owners

engineer of the Board of Estimate sub
mitted a report on three suggested devices,
The first provided for the carrying tho
streets from the train shed TO Fifty-ffth
street across the cut and yard, lowering
the station and yard twenty feet. This
Mr.. Lewis reported. involves serious incon-
veaience TO those using the station. The
other plans suggest a gradual elevation
Of street grades from Fifty-fourth street

The plan Of Comptroller Edward NJ.

Blackboard Of the Atlantic Avenue Improve
rnent Commission.
Mr. CIRCUITS plan was submitted several
days ago. His reasons are that when the
original plan was adopted in 1897 the old
city of Brooklyn was heavily in debt and
the cheapest possible way 10 give the people
an Improvement was adopted.
To-day conditions are changed. Debt
ridden Brooklyn is now part Of the great
city Of New York and the Long Island hail
road system. He points out To the com
mission that nothing but the best should
be given To the people Of this great city.
President Baldwin does not take the
same view. In his reply he says:
"Thc present plan for the improvement
was the result of an investigation which
occupied the greater part of one year.
The commission reported To the Mayor
the plans now Icing carried out and they
were adopted. Work has been going on
for a year and some sections are nearing
completion. IL appears to me that IL IL

Essen, Nov 20 The funeral Of Herr

amid signs of general mourning The
Kaiser arrived this morning and imme-
dia,ely went TO the old home OF krupp's
grandfather. Practically the whole popu-
lGtion attended the funeral. which was
most impressive. The Kaiser walked he
lind the hearse TO the cemetery and left
Essen for Berlin al 1915 O'Clock.
After the funeral address the Kaiser
drew Pastor Klingemann aside, and in the
course Of conversation expressed his dis
gust at the insinuations made by the Social
Democratic press in reference 10 Herr
Krupp's life at Capri. He hoped the work
ing classes would resoutely give up all
connection with such elements among the
Social Democrats.
