CITY COUNCIL SOUNDS
WARNING RELATIVE TO
DIGGING UP STREETS

The Mayor and City Council have
sounded a warning to all residents
and adjacent property owners along
streets included in the street paving
plan that it will be compulsory for
them to make all necessary connec-
tons with sewer, gas, or water mains
before the work of paving the streets
is undertaken.
The warning was sounded in an or
der offered by Alderman Smith and
adopted at last nights meeting of
the City Council. The order not only
serves notice on property owners that
such connections must be made, but
that digging up the streets for such
purposes will not be permitted within
period of five years after the paw
ing has been laid. The city author
tiles have profited by experience of
former years in this regard, it having
become necessary to make frequent
breaks in the surfacing of streets for
such excavations, thereby greatly af-
fecting appearances of the street beds.

OF FOOTBALL MATERIAL
IN NEW FOURTH CLASS

Bob Folwell, head coach of the
Navy football squad, took personal
charge of the 300 candidates from the
new class who presented themselves
yesterday afternoon. Additional re.
cruits are expected from the crew and
baseball squads, which will keep to-
gether for another week.
Folwell assembled the new men

fundamentals, stressing hard work as
the most important element in foot
ball success. He then separated the
line, backfield and, end candidates and
made preliminary selection of the

gymnastic officer and football repre-.
sentative, and by Ensigns Frawley

NOTED GRADUATE OF
NAVAL ACADEMY DIES

Park Benjamin, graduate of the
Naval Academy class of '67, and a
noted patent lawyer of New York, and
author of a number of works on
scientific subjects, died yesterday at
his summer home in Stamford, Conn,
in his 74th year. Mr.. Benjamin's death
was due to myocarditis and secondary
nephritis, from which he had been
suffering for the last three months.
With the exception of Mrs. Enrico
Caruso, who is in Italy, all his chill
dren were at his bedside when he
died.
Mr.. Benjamin was born in New
York, May IL, 1S49, son of Park
BENJAMIN, the poet, and Mary West
ern Benjamin.
In his naval career he reached the
grade of ensign, cruised under Farra-
gut and was assigned to European
waters, but resigned early with the
determination of becoming a lawyer
In the course of his legal work he was
associated with some of the country's
best known men of science and indus
trial firms.
Mr.. Benjamin was the author of
''The Early History of the Naval
Academy" With Colonel r. M
Thompson and E. j. Berwind he col
lected a valuable library of rare
works and presented it to the Naval
Academy.
Mr.. Benjamin was deeply opposed
to the marriage of his daughter, Doro-
thy, to Caruso. who was close friend
of the family, on the ground of the
difference in the ages, nationality and
temperament of the two. The tenor
and Miss Benjamin were married des-
pite the objections raised by Mr.. Ben
jamin. But there was no actual
breach with Caruso. as the doors of
the Benjamin home always were open
to the singer and his bride.
Funeral services will be held at his
home. 270 West Seventy-third street,
New York, tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock.
