Plea of Guilty Accepted
In Navy Graft Case
Others Besides Ellert May Be
Involved in Courts
Martial

The plea of guilty with reservations
to six of fifty-one specifications against
him which Lieutenant Benoit j. Eller
offered Friday at his court-martial at
the navy yard was accepted yesterday
and the findings Of the court sent to
Washington for review.
Other officers and enlisted men Of
the navy probably will be arraigned on
charges connected with the selling of
easy berths and discharges before the
affair is CLOSED, and it is thought likely
that some who have been discharged
from the navy may be brought to
trial in the United States District
Court
The charges against Ellert involved
the alleged acceptance of about 100000
for favors granted. Those to which
he pleaded guilty with reservations in
cuded two dozen favors at an aggre-
gate price of more than $4,000.
Counsel for Ellert produced, before
the court retired to deliberate upon
it's sentence, evidence to show Ellert
had been honorably discharged from
the 157th Indiana Volunteer Infantry
at the close of the Spanish War; that
he had served more than twelve years
in the navy and had received good
conduct medal in 1912, and that prior
to his trial upon the present charges he
had been in confinement for seven
months.

Decision Expected
To-day ON Pelham
Drug Hospital Plan
Sinking Fund Comission to
Take Up the Proposal
With Hope of Reaching
Solution of Controversy

The future of the Pelham Bay Naval
Training Station and the possibility of
the city taking over the hospital build
ings for the care of drug addicts will
be discussed at special meeting OF
the Sinking Fund Commission called by
Mayor Hylan for this morning.
At the time The park site was taken
over by the government an agreement
was made between the city and the
Navy Department that when relin-
ouished by the Federal officials the dis
position Of the buildings and appurte-
nances should be adjusted and settled
partment wants to return the whole
plant to the city, but several members
Of the Sinking Fund Commission are
not sure the city wants it.
President Moran, of the Board Of
Aldermen, who is also a member of
the Sinking Fund Commissi on, said yes
terday that an effort was being made
to UNLOAD the plant upon the city"
He pointed out that the contract be-
tween the city and the Federal gov
eminent calls for the restoration Of
the property to it's original condition.
1t is estimated by Park Commissioner
Hennessy, of The Bronx, that this
would cost $65O,00O and that if the
would be compelled to spend this large
sum in restoring the property. The
naval authorities assert that $4,000
would be ample to cover all damage
done.
There are several large buildings
on the grounds and these would have
to be razed because of a provision in
the charter against the maintenance
Of any buildings other than fire houses
on park property. 1t is the conten-
ton of the sinking fund commission
that they would be unable to make
use of the buildings because Of this
provision.
Nevertheless, Health Commissioner
Copeland is going ahead in his efforts
to obtain the hosniral buildings for
he use of drug addicts. Mr.. Moran,
Mr.. Hennessy and Dr. Copeland went
over the ground Yesterday and will re-
port to the Board OF Estimate to-day,
when the 500, 900 appropriation to run
the hospital will be asked
More than 500 residents of City
Island attended a mass meeting in
Thwalte Community Hall last night to

Tribute to Impresario
DR.. Silverman opened the services
by reading a psalm. Mr.. Mccormack
sang Una Fertiva Lacrima,' by Verdi.
DR.. Slverman then delivered the
funeral address.
Oscar Hammcrstein left his im-
preston in all walks of life, for he
touched the world at many points.
The press Of this and other countries
often has recited his diverse activities ::
his successes, his failures, his gains
and his adventures. A review of his
unrelated activities might lead US to
say he was an erratic man Such is not
the case. He was self-made man.
oscar Hammerstein had a person
ality difficult for some to understand.
AS builder and impresario he was
governed by two impulses: ambition
for success and the search for the
IDEAL in music and art. He sought to
EDUCATE the public to an appreciation
OF the best in art, rather than to
make fortune out of it,
He was not elated by success any
more than he was discouraged by fail
ure. Money seemed to him only a
means to carry out his ideals. Had he
cared for fortune he might easily have
succeeded in winning it, but he did
not labor for money; he labored for
ideal
Was Mental Dynamo
He was a mental dynamo and his
ideals electrified his whole being. A
master in argument, he often over
wheimed and subdued his opponents.
=, Nv hen ne had plenty he gave liberal
ly and when he had little he shared
with those who had less. A history cf
the theatre and the opera in this city
can never be written without an hon
orable page given over to Oscar Ham
merstein."
The body was inferred at Woodlawn
Cemetery.
Friend Also Is Buried
The funeral of Richard Epstein, q
musician and friend Of Hammer
stein, who died at the Lenox Hill Hos
pital on the day Of the impresario's s
death, was held at the Campbell
Funeral Church yesterday afternoon.
