FORGOT SUBWAY OPENINGS
P. S. G. Suggests Change in Plan
for Grand Central Station.

William McCarroll, acting chairman OF
the Public Service Commission. sent letter
to Borough President McAneny yesterday
regarding a change in the street layout in
the vicinity of 42d street, where the new
Grand Central station is under construc-
tion. In order to meet the plans os the
New York Central management. IL was
proposed TO move Vanderbilt avenue % feet
10 the east, the Central giving up that
much ground on the east and taking in
exchange the same spacv-now part OF
Vanderbilt avenuc-on the west.
Although this change would wipe out the
present entrance To the subway a. the
northeast corner of i2d street and Wander
bllt avenue. no provision was suggested for
another entrance To take it's place, de-
spite the fact that plans for the operation
OF the Steihway tunnel provided for IOdr
large elevators from the tunnel 40 the meZ-
zanIne floor Of the subway at point
close by.
Mr. McCarroll wrote:
1t seems very important tnat there should
be an entrance and exit 10 the street at
the northwest corner Of Vanderbilt ave
nue. and 42d street, and the only way to
obtain il without cnCroaching upon the
surface Of the sidewalk a 42d street would
he to nave the exit through and underneath
this front corner property, part OF which
is 10 be obtained from the street.
Under these circumstances the conmls-
sion most earnestly suggests that in the
provision fer an entrance and exit be made.
and that an easement for such purpose
he reserved in the property 70 the west
OF the proposed street line.

REVEALS ODD LAW POINT

An unusual point Of law. which involves
a pardon from President Taft, arose yes
terday before Judge Hand in the Cnlte'
states Circuit Court when Federal At'oi'
ney Wise appeared 10 make presentfhei'
for contempt Of court against william -
Dreier. secretary OF the Lichtenstein MI
linery Company. The fact vas disclosed
at the same time that the federai gram
jury is still investigating the OLD So-c"ii''

The federal Attorney did not actuai's

The question arose, which puzzled tH'
LAWYERS, as TO how the Presidents paru'''
would apply TO Dreier's case. Mt. DofF
assistant federal Attorney, explained that
the President could issue pardon even
if the proposed beneficiary had not been
convicted of a crime, fact not generally
known among practitioners Mere evil

The case Of "ex parte Garland was

President is unlimited except In cases OF

KEEPS HER GRANDDAUGHTER
Court Says H. G. Easton Cant
Take Child from Mrs. Jewell.

Justice BischoH dismissed yesterday the
writ Of habeas corpus obtained by Henry
Clement Easton to regain possession OF his
four-year-old daughter Dorothy. now in
the custody of the child's maternal grand
mother Mrs Irene Jewell, Of No. 81 East
18th street. and awarded the girl 10 the
custody Of Mrs. Jewell.
Easton is a nephew Of the late Edmund
Clarence Stedman. HIS wife died last
April. Since then there has been strife
between Easton and his mOther-in-law,
Mrs. jewell. which included a street scene
and proceedings in the police court. when
Easton made the charge OF kidnapping
against Mrs. jewell, which was dismissed.
Justice Bischoff said in his decision that
it was a question Of Dorothy being with her
maternal grandmother or her paternal
grandmother. and there was no question Of
the fitness of either. As for EastOn. said
the justice. it appeared that he had no
home OF his own, and was dependent TO a
certain extent on lis mother. Then he
added:
The natural affection between the child
and the maternal grandmother. with whom
she lived through her babyhOod with the
fathers approval, would seem 10 be need
leSsly and ruthlessly lacerated II the child
were AT this time tossed from one grand
mother TO the other The persistent effort
OF the fathe~ 10 change the custody Is
misguided and IS due to something else
than a desire for the childs wellbelng.
Permission is given Easton to see his
child at certain intervals.

WANTS N. Y. C. SUBWAY
City Club Offers Suggestions IN
Eleventh Avenue Middle.

The City Club sent to the Board OF ESu-
mate and the Public Service Commission its
report on the track situation in Eleventh
avenue yesterday. The most important
recommendation is that the method OF
treating the tracks of the New York cen
trial Railroad south OF Goth street shall be
separated from the question of their treat
ment from Goth street northward.
II is suggested that the Legislature shall
require the New York Central to place its
tracks In a subway south of Goth street un-
less within a stated period it enters into an
agreement with the city for the abandon
rncnt of its franchise south Of Goth street
and takes in lieu thereof d franchise for an
elevated railroad on West street and the
marginal way.
The club feels strongly the need OF re-
tanning the great steamship piers and rec
ommends the plan which contempates dig
ging inland between Chelsea piers and Goth
street. The report says that II the legisla-
ton IL suggests is obtained. the city club
sees no need for the McClclland- Walker
bill
The Central Federated Union Of Labor
also is interested in Eleventh avenue. and
on July 81 Will hear discussion on both the
McClelland-Wal and the McManus-Boy-
land bills Calvin Tomkins. Dock Commits
sioncr will speak for the former measure.

VILLAIN BLOWS UP A SHIP
Heroine's Lover Escapes as the

The good ship Robert Graham was blown

scene In picture play.
Roger de Braskom, the villain in the
play entitled Rival Friends had laid ms
plans we'll for doing away with Frank
Merrill, who had won the herolnc's heart.
At $3.50 o'clock he lit the fuse TO the dyna-
mite and escaped in a rowboat just IN
time 10 give vent 10 a villanous chuckle
as tho schooner blew into thousand
pieces. In reality the bark had belonged
TO William Stummoe, from whom fathe
Freres bought it for $500
In preparation for the blowing up scene
they worked more than a month reheaTs-
ing putting in seventy-five pounds OF dyna-
mite and plugging the masts TO be sure
they would fall. The boat. however. was
too materialistic, for It did not enter into
the spirit OF the play as expected The
masts did not fall. nor did tho snip SINK
The villain returned from his evil work
looking very glum. The hero, who had
been waiting in a tugboat six hundred feet
away TO enjoy the fiction OF his destruc-
ton, had put cotton IN his ears and piece
OF cork between his teeth TO prevent the
conclusion knocking them out. SEEING
the relative tameness Of his disaster. he,
too was disappointed. Some Of the spec
tators felt worse over the result than the
hero. as they had been told not TO risk
making use Of cotton. as the conclusion
might drive Il through their eardrums.

BAD WHISKEY KILLS SAILOR
Saloons Near Navy Yard Gate
Selling Dangerous Stuff.

With one veteran Of the naval service
dead from delirium tremens in the Naval
Hospital in Flushing avenue. and another
one dangerously i'll. there is considerable
feeling in the navy yard in Brooklyn over
the treatment sailors receive at the hands
OF the saloonkeepers who thrive within a
few blocks of the Sands street gate.
Axel Nielsen and H. Percival were
stricken late Thursday afternoon. after a
short term OF shore leave. and were treat
ed on board the receiving ship Hancock
Or. Smith, the ships surgeon. found their
cases more serious than the usual run of
DRINKS and had them rushed TO the Naval
Hospital, where Nielsen died.
The deadly compound set out as whiskey
for sailors on the Sands street bars 10
held responsible FOR the condition OF af
fairs As the saloons are outside OF gov
eminent bounds. the navy yard officials
are powerless in the case. Nielsen had
been twenty-eight years in the service and
was a first class seaman.
