AFTER M'CARREN AGAIN.
Senator'S Plan for the Disposal OF Patr onage
Causes . Hot Row.

The scheme Of Senator McCarren for an
equal division OF the election patronage
between the leaders in the various Assembly
districts in Brooklyn who are hostile to
his leadership and his representatives In
these districts has been rejected by the
former and apparently there is to be no
let-up in the faotional rumpus. Four As
eembly districts are affected, the Second
Seventh, Eleventh and Twelfth, whose
executive committeeman respectively are
Judge j. j. Walsh. Deputy Fire Com
missioner William A. Doyle, Water Com
missioner Thomas r. Farrell and Register
M. E. Dooley.
In two successive bitter primary con-
tests Senator McCarren has been unable
to dislodge any of them. All of them
put up vigorous kick when McCarren
announced that, contrary to the usage in
the organization, he, as chairman Of the
executive committee intended to ignore
their lists Of election district inspectors
and approve Of those submitted by his
friends in the respective Assembly dis
districts. thus giving the patronage to a
minority faction. When retaliation was
threatened by turning out the McCarrenites
holding jobs in the Registers office, the
proposition to split up the patronage In
equal proportions in the warning camps
was suggested as a compromise.
In some quarters the right OF Senator
McCarren to reject the list of an executive
committeeman is disputed and it ia pos
sible the question may be submitted to
the courts,

It's Said, Asked R3 900.

In order to carry out the plans adopted
some time ago for the widening Of Canal
street in The Bronx. the Board Of Estimate
decided yesterday to condemn a strip of
land having three inch base on East 13sth
street and running to an apex on Canal
street at distance of about ESQ feet. The
strip of land is part Of property bought by
August Belmont, president of the INTERIOR
ough company. for the building Of the sub
way, and which was let over after pro-
vision for the subway had been made.
The little triangle stands in the way Of
giving frontage on Canal street to large
parcel of property owned by DIN j.
Stephens and he and other property owners
of the neighborhool recently appealed
to the city to take over the strip in order
that the street might be Strengthened and
that the value Of the property back OF the
strip might not be lessened.
1t Is stated that August Belmont de-
handed 5000 for this little stretch Of land
which was only three inches wide at its
broadcast point Apparently understanding
that such a price was an arbitrary one.
the Board Of Estimate passed resolution
yesterday ordering that the clothesline
width of land be condemned. 1t is ex-
pected that under the condemnation award
Mr.. Be lmont will get much less than $1,000.
