70 ASK 100000 Of ML4UGHLIN.
HE SAYS swANsTROM WON'T MIsUNDER-
STAND WHEN REQUEST is ANSWERED

t4E SAWS SWANSTROM WON'T MISUNDER-
STAND WHEN REQUEST IS ANSWERED.
President Swanstrom OF the Borough OF
Rrooklyn promised a delegation of Flatoush
ci,,zans Yesterday that he would call on Hugh
McIaughIin the veteran leader of the Demo-
cratic party in Kings County and ask him to
give the city land valued at 100000 at the Will
ink entrance TO Prospect Park When he learns
what Hugh McI.aughlin thinks of the PROPOSE
tion it may be that Mr.. Swanstrom will change
his mind about making the request, for IL is
clear that the grayheaded leader does not view
NTH anv degree of favor giving up 100000 in
land TO add credit to the fusion admnistra-
tion.
The delegation from Flatbush, which consist
cd of William McCarroll. Alderman Mclnness
Racords Commissioner Waldo and dozen
others called upon President Swanstrom to get
him to favor the proposition to improve the
wi1Iink entrance to the park The estimated
value of the property that ii is proposed to take
,s something like S2S0,OO0. President Swan
strom told his visitors that there was no money
available for such a purpose. but that Hugh Nc
Iaughlin who owned a part of the land. might
be willing to give it to the city.
This was generally voted brilliant idea. and
with one accord the delegates from Flatbush
named Mr. Swanstrom to break the news to Mr.
| McJaughlin The borough president promised
| to try 10 arrange interview with MIR. Nc
IanpbIn and then the delegation went to urge
| the Mayor to approve the plan to enlarge the
| Willink entrance.
| When reporter saw Hugh Mclaughlin in the
willoughby-st. auction rooms and told him of
| the philanthropic opportunity that was swift
| lv approaching him, Mr.. Mclaughlin knitted
his shaggy eyebrows for a minute, and then
said:
You are a reporter. and have to earn your liv
ing and | suppose that / must be courteous to
| Won: but If any department head comes to me
| will tell him what / think of the proposition,
and he won't misunderstood me, either. This
| ie the fruit of fusion-a lot of men banded to-
gether who have the impertinence to attempt to
| force a gentleman TO give up his property.

BRIDGE AND TUNNEL.
rom The Brooklyn Times.


The New-York Tribune to-day. in forcible terms.
arraigns the Van Wyck administration for cupa-
BILE negligence in permitting the contractors for
the work the Williamsburg Bridge delay
their work unnecessarily, and in extending with
penalty the time allowed In their contract for
the completion of the work. and 1t calls upon
Mayer Low and Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal
contract and to compel them TO proceed with the
work with all due speed. The Tribune does not
speak strongly of the Importance of the bridge
and the need of its speedy completion so that the
congestion of travel on the present bridge may be
relieved. The people of Brooklyn appreciate the
need that exists for eXpediting the work the
bridge, and to them 1t is a matter of trivial
tractors so that the work is not hindered.
1t may be hoped that our Manhattan contem-
porary will lend its great influence TO the equally
desirable task of expeding the work of the subway
commission the East River tunnel which will
probably do more to relieve the pressure of travel
on the Brooklyn Bridge than can be hoped for
from the Williamsburg Bridge. There is ten
dency in certain quarters to overload the subway
commission with new enterprises, which excel
lent they may be. well be deferred until the
commission gets through with the work 1t has on
hand. The proposed East Side subway, which
Is being very industriously urged in certain quar-
ters. is conspicuous case in point. No doubts
the East Side of Manhattan. to parallel the
road In course OF construction would be q
very desirable thing. that II Will be an accom-
pshed fact some day, but 1t is distinctly Of
the things that wait There enough of
surface and elevated lines of travel the East
is in financial condition to undertake such a
stupendous work. The East River tunnel is of
more immediate urgency and nothing should be
allowed TO interfere with Its progress.

HE TELLS WHY HE HAS NOT MADE HIM
SELF LIABLE TO REMOVAL

The declaration of ex-Judge w NJ. X. Olcott
at the Foody trial on Monday that District At
torney Jerome had made himself liable to
moval from office by failure to prosecute saloon
keepers who sold liquor to county detectives
four Sundays in March would bring joy to the
hearts of several police captains If they could
take it gospel truth" The poor and op
pressed police captains would find sweet
venge" in making charges against Mr.. Jerome
at the present time if they thought he could be
put out of office.
Mr.. Olcotts contention was based Sections
81 and 3S of the Liquor Tax law. Section 81
says that certain officers. including policemen
and constables. who have knowledge of viola
tiOns of the law shall inform the District At
torney of the county by "a statement under
OATH" and that the District Attorney shall i'm
mediatey prosecute the offenders complained
against by the officers. Section 3S provides a
penalty of $500 for failure to obey the Law, and
in the case of a District Attorney it says he
shall be removed from office by the Governor"
Mr.. Olcott's argument was that in receiving
the reports from his county detectives of viola
tfons of the law and then proceeding against
the police captains for neglect of duty. instead
of against the liquor dealers. Mr. Jerome vio-
lated the plain provisions of the law, and thus
placed his official head in danger.
Mr. Jerome said yesterday that the Liquor
Tax law was somewhat complica ted and ne
would not blame any body for not understand
ing it His county detectives, he said were not
peace officers, and were not included in the list
of officers mentioned in the law as in duty
bound to make statements of violations
of the law. Their reports TO him were not made
under oath he said. Then there was a pro
vision that the District Attorney should prose
cute violators of the law before magistrate
only when the grand jury was not in session,
and in this county the grand jury was in session
practically all the time.
It's curious Mr.. Jerome added, that some
| of the same people who roasting me for stir
ring up the excise situation and forcing the
police 20 do their duty also threatening me
| with removal from office for not prosecuting the
saloonkeepers.

Suoh Extreme Measures by the fOW-

WASHINGTON, Dec War-not
merely technical, tigurative war, but
an actual state of hostilties-prevails
between England and Germany on the
one hand and Venezuela on the other.
The two European nations apparently
committed the first act Of aggression in
the seizure of Venezuelan warshipS in
the harbor of La Guayra. This in it.
self was a sufficient cause for war, but
a greater affront TO Venezuela was Civ.
en- in the subsequent action of the Brit
ish and Germans in sinking these YES
sells.
While the state department has no
official confirmation Of the report that
the Venezuelan ships were sunk. it
does not doubt that such n course was
pursued. This incident has caused
surprise in administration circles and
has created somewhat painful i'm
preston.
1t has been the understanding here
that while Germany and England
would adopt stringent measures to
compel Venezuela to pay the claims Of
their subjects conditions of actual
war with consequent danger OF blood
shed and destruction Of government
and private property. would be avoid
ed. Apparently, however. the British
and the Germans have determined TO
go to extremes to bring about the ad-
iustment of claims
