9 ELKs STOOD BY CHAPLAIN.
Chartered Train to Hear Farewell Sermon After Forced Resignation.

A special train was run over the Central New Englard railroad, Sun day, from Poughkeepsie' to Pine Plains, for one of the most unique causes in the history of the railroad. The train was chartered for 200 Elks, their wives and lady friends, who went to Pine Plains to hear the farewell sermon of the Rev Marvin V. Jacobs, who resigned as pastor of the Pine Plains Baptist church rath- CT than give up his office of chaplain of Poughkeepsie lodge of Elks.
 The sermon had to be preached in the Pine Plains opera house, because the trustees had ordered the church closed a week before, but the Elks sent word to MT Jacobs to. preach the sermonIt that he had prepared for his farewell and they would hire hin, a hall Pine Plains ElEs, who had been instrumental in the minister joining the order, had charge Of the services and the collection paid the expenses of the hall and purse of s1IS was raised for MT Jacobs at the meeting.
 ! Mir Jacobs will move to 'Pongh- keepsie this week and committee of Elks there has started q project. to build a chapel, over which their chaplain will preside and which they will attend. The idea is to ask the S50.000 Elks in the United States to contribute 25 cents each tn build and endow this chapel. using $40,000 for building and the rest.for endowment. A convention of Elks in Pennsylvania sent word last week that they could be depended upon to help the pro ject. and similar encouragement has come from other quarters.
 Mir Jacobs is AZ years old, has been minister for ten years. and went to Pine Plains from Dingham- ton. N. Y., in 1906. He is Mason and an Odd Fellow. and says he is surprised at his congregation object ing to his being an Elk.

THE MOUNTED OFFICER
Has Noi Yei Been Named By
 Board of Sslely.

Talking about the board of public safety relative to the vote of tho board of aldermen recommending that mounted officer be added to the force, Alderman Fine said to-day that in his judgment the safety board is making a serious mistake in deferring action on this matter. He believes that a mounted officer would do a vast amount of good in all parts of the town, especially in the outlying districts, where proper ty owners suffer considerable annoy ance from the presence of reckless fellows who hang about the lots all summer and actually terrorize the women folks. Tn allowing this thing to go on without doing all in their power to prevent it." said Mir Fine, T think the board of safety shows a neglect for the good of the community that is not creditable to any body of men charged with the performance of public duty"

O'Neill. He said no one could ans
 wer to the charges as they stood. Mir
 Devine, of course, asked for a fair
 chance to be heard and that the con-
 plaint be made in writing. It was
 too important matter to be dis
 posed of without giving the principal
 a hearing. There was only one defi-
 mite charge in the whole lot, he said, and even that was not specified. The thing was altogether too unfair and too >1definite to go on with. No one could cross examine the school teach CT who testified. he said, she was too hysterical. too vague. Mir 0'Neili feared a riot would take place in Brooklyn if Mir Devine were dismiss ed, and a meeting held in the city hall upheld him and here was the room crowded to its utmost to stand by him. No doubt" he said, these men had an idea the board would be unfair to Mrr Deyine. hence their presence. The people were getting an idea that he was to be made a martyr of. An idea exists that there is too much secrecy and prejudice in the board"
 At this point Commissioner Me Donald informed Mr 0'Nelll that on November 2I. 1907, Mir Tinker want ed to suspend Mir Devine. MT De- vine called to see me about it in the factory and I warned him that the rules must and would be carried out. Now" went on Mir Mcdonald, there are no actual charges against Mir De- vine. but the superintendent has said he will not reappoint him. l wish to refute the charge of secrecy on the part of the board In this matter. We dropped Miss Finch last year and there was not a word said about it. Mir Gulliver was le; go; Tom Moran of the almshouse was let go and no one had a word to say about all this"
 Attorney Guilfoile reminded the board that the board of safety gave Building Inspector Chatfield a pub lie hearing after the people had de- manded it and allowed him counsel. too. Mr Guilfoile whackef the char ter because 1t gave the supeFintend- ent of schools too much power and the board of education too little. Chatield was practically found gull ty by the board of safety and yet he was let go with a reprlmand.
 Attorney Blansfeid spoke next. He was followed by Attorney Cassidy and several residents of Brooklyn.
 Mr Devine said he had nos been mo- tiisd Of the meeting until o'clock ia the afternoon and that he wanted a reasonable time to answer the charges. and after Mr O'Neill had another say and one or two others fol- lowed. the board retired 70 executive session and after almost an hour came 0ut and announced nothing had been done. which means that the commit lee by doing nothing declines to make tharges against the nrincipsi and fo stand by the action ~ super- Intezdsnt Tinker ia notifying m that be shall not he Fesppcinted.
