DR.. William Harvey Allen OF the Bureau
OF Municipal Research who delivered
the address to the graduates at the COM
mepoement exercises Of the Pratt In
stitute, Brooklyn, held last night In EN-
manuel Baptist Church, took for his
theme the responsibility in civic affairs
OF those who had enjoyed the privileges
Of the schools!
He begged the outgoing students to
consider the wide gap between what
should be done in the way Of industrial
education, physical examination OF chill
dren who apply for work certificates
and general attention 70 public snaita-
ton and what the community Is now un-
dertaking to do in these departments.
and then to compare the amount which
the community was pretending to DO
with what was actually being accom-
plished D..
Charles NJ. Pratt. president Of the board
of trustees, congratulated the school upon
the high standard OF work which had been
maintained and said that he was glad
that the number Of graduates this year
was larger than ever before. Four hun
dred and sixty-eight received either di-
plomas or certificates from one OF the
six departments OF the institute. di.
poma implies the completion OF a normal
course in the subject chosen, while a
certificate is granted for work that is
purely academic.

across the Greensboro Bridge from
Long Island City to Manhattan yesterday
and made the return trip seated on the

The centenarian was accompanied by

George Gugle OF 252 Mott avenue, Long
Island City. He wore soft hat OF the

despite his 100 years his step was sprightly
and he had no need for glasses.

to persuade him that the distance was too
far and suggested they board an auto

On the return trip, however, he was
willing TO find q seat on one OF the double
decked automobile stages that make
trips to and fro suroes the bridge, Gas
wagons Is what the lively old passenger
called them, and as the stih breeze hoatea
sail ne remarked that the breeze reminded
him of the days when he sailed q hehine
smack through the waters Of New York
harbor.
Mr.. Redmond was born at Tuckahoe,

he served aboard fshing smack until
he got money enough to buy one OF his
own, and for fifty years he fishei in the
waters around New York city. He came
to Manhattan a few days ago by boat from
by Mr.. Cavanagh. who took him uptown
by the subway, which was not much to
his liking, Indescribing his trip he said:
-They put me in hole In the ground

JUSTICES FIND CLERK NEGLj-
GENT BUT EXCL SABLE.

Court Accounts Couldn't Have Been
Padded, They Decide. II He Had Had
Time for Proper supervision Didn't
Graft Himself; Honesty Is 0pucedcd
The Board of Justices OF Special Ses-
sions last night found William NJ. Fuller,
acting chief clerk OF the court, guilty
Of neglect OF duty in allowing clerks to
collect money out Of the courts con-
tingent fund on padded expense accounts.
At the same time the board found an
excuse for Mr.. Fuller In the fact that he
was without adequate assistance in his
auditing work. Faith In his honesty is
expressed.
The board made public these findings:
.-we have found Mr.. Fuller guilty OF
neglect OF duty because we believe he
cannot escape all responsibility for certain
irregularities and Illegal acts which have
been frequently committed In connection
with the administration OF the accounts
OF the clerks Office OF this court.
we find that for some years past a
vicious system. OF rendering such ac-
co,nts has been In existence and that in
some cases moneys have been collected
from the city by certain clerks for alleged
expenditures which should not have been
made charge against the contingent
fund OF this court. While these Items are
exceedingly small and Of the pettieet
character we cannot condemn such prac-
tices too severely. +.
/ we And. however, that there has been
Of late a great improvement In the ad-
minstering OF these accounts and that
many OF the practices complained OF have
been discontinued during the past year.
We find further that those subordinates
In the clerks ONCE who we're directly
responsible for presenting the bills In
question have since severed their con-
nection with the Office and are no longer
amenabls To the discipline OF this court.
1T does not appear In any way that
Mr.. Fuller personally benefited In the
eli ghtest degree by the commission OF
these acts. In fact we desire to express
our utmost faith In his personal honesty
and integrity. Had his duties and
