CHARGED WITH tJIOOTIXG HER BJBTER. Rose Belskey, sixteen years old, who was ar- raigned in the Qates-ave. court yesterday morning, charged with homicide, was paroled ponding the in- quest of the Coroner. Rose and her thirteen-year- old Bister Rachel, v. ho live with their parents at No. 4 Blake-aye.. had found a revolver in the room of Michael 11. Oornson. who boards with them. The two girls were playing with the revolver on Friday night, when Rose happened to pull the trigger and a bullet pierced the abdomen of Rachel, who was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where she died three hours later. Frank Squier, Park Commissioner under Mayor Schieren, expressed himself as emphati- cally in favor of the subway project. He said: The politicians in power are behind this widening of Livingston-Mt. Thej have purchased property there and Intend to realize on it when this chance arises. But much better than this use of Liv- ingston-s'. to relieve the congestion of cars on Ful- ton-st. would be the tunnel from the Bridge to Flatbush-ave., as proposed in ex-Mayor Bchier n'a plan. Such a plan would in no way cause Fulton- st. to be rendered useless, as traffic could go on an it does now overhead. The scheme provides for a double track structure. This would accommodate the cars, which could be run as expresses from Flatbush-ave. to the -Bridge. The co.st of building such a tunnel as is proposed \u25a0would be less than to widen Llvin^ston-st. Fur- thermore, Its benefits would be more lasting. If Liv- injjston-st. should be widened, with the ever-in- creasing population it would not be long before the same conditions as exist In FuHon-dt. would de- velop along the new route. 1 think it an outrage, the time It now takes to ride between the Briclpe and Platbush-ave. While it at one time took only thirty-five minutes l'runi the Park Slope to the Bridg' 1 . it now takes an hour, sometimes. Ex-Corpora.' i<>n Counsel Albert Q. McDonald and ex-City Works Commissioner Alfred T. White have also expressed their approval of the subway plan. Mr. White said yesterday: No matter how many bridges may be built across the river, I have reached the conclusion that the entry to that great section between Flatbush-ave, and the Shore Road will be the old Brooklyn Bridge for many years to come. And that being so. a sub- way, as suggested by Mr. Schieren will be almost a necessity to expedite the continually growing traf- fic to that portion of the city which in the next few years will, to my mind, be building up very rapidly. Mr. White did not think that the construction of the proposed tunnel would present any seri- ous obstacles that could not be overcome. Bx-Mayor Charles A. Schieren has proposed the construction of a subway from Flatbush- avp. and Fulton-st. to the Bridge, in order to relieve the congestion of Fulton-st., in the heart of the business section of Brooklyn. His plan lias received the indorsement of several promi- nent citizens of this borough who were asso- ciated with Mr. Schieren when he was Mayor and to whom he broached the subject at the recent annual dinner of the members of his administration at the Hamilton Club. The conditions which prevail in Fulton-st. are similar to those that existed in Tremont-st., Boston, prior to the opening of the Boston sub- way, and Mr. Schieren believes that the most feasible relief can be found in constructing a subway, as was done in Boston. Through such a subway the various lines of trolley cars could be run from Flatbush-ave. to the Bridge, leav- ing the street free for the ordinary business of that thoroughfare. The running of the cars in the subway would also insure quick transit, which would not be the least desirable of the benefits to be gained from a subway. For sev- eral years the congestion has betn growing greater and greater, until now it takos about twenty minutes to traverse this half mile in the cars. In the rush hours one can walk more rapidly than the cars are able to run. It has been proposed that Livingston-st. be widened, and others have suggested continuing Flatbush-ave., in order to relieve the traffic in Fulton-st.; but it is declared that either of these plans would be more expensive and less satis- factory than the subway.

POLYTECHNIC PREPARATORY. In accordance with the new scheme that went into effect at the close of the first semester, hon- ors are granted to two groups of boys. First, for scholarship; second, for attendance and deport- ment. All who secured an average of 90 per cent or more in the work of the half year are 111 the list of honors for scholarship. The honor roll for attendance and deportment includes, first, all boys against whose names no absences or tardinesses have been marked throughout the first half year, and, second, those who have received no miscon- duct marks throughout the half year. The Increased number of students and the greater number of classes have made it necessary to add two teachers to the corps. F. L. Haeberle, from the State Normal School at Millersville, Perm., and Miss Bertha Bass. Mr. Haeberle will have classes in German and also in stenography and penman- ship.

Frank Squier, Park Commissioner under

Mayor Schieren, expressed himself as emphati-cally in favor of the subway project. He said:

The politicians in power are behind this wideningof Livingston-Mt. Thej have purchased property

there and Intend to realize on it when this chancearises. But much better than this use of Liv-ingston-s'. to relieve the congestion of cars on Ful-ton-st. would be the tunnel from the Bridge toFlatbush-ave., as proposed in ex-Mayor Bchier n'aplan. Such a plan would in no way cause Fulton-st. to be rendered useless, as traffic could go on anit does now overhead. The scheme provides for adouble track structure. This would accommodatethe cars, which could be run as expresses fromFlatbush-ave. to the -Bridge.

The co.st of building such a tunnel as is proposed\u25a0would be less than to widen Llvin^ston-st. Fur-thermore, Its benefits would be more lasting. If Liv-injjston-st. should be widened, with the ever-in-creasing population it would not be long before thesame conditions as exist In FuHon-dt. would de-velop along the new route.

1 think it an outrage, the time It now takesto ride between the Briclpe and Platbush-ave. Whileit at one time took only thirty-five minutes l'runithe Park Slope to the Bridg'1. it now takes an hour,

sometimes.Ex-Corpora.' i<>n Counsel Albert Q. McDonald

and ex-City Works Commissioner Alfred T.

White have also expressed their approval of thesubway plan. Mr. White said yesterday:

No matter how many bridges may be built acrossthe river, Ihave reached the conclusion that theentry to that great section between Flatbush-ave,and the Shore Road willbe the old Brooklyn Bridge

for many years to come. And that being so. a sub-way, as suggested by Mr. Schieren will be almost anecessity to expedite the continually growing traf-fic to that portion of the city which in the next fewyears will, to my mind, be building up very rapidly.

Mr. White did not think that the constructionof the proposed tunnel would present any seri-ous obstacles that could not be overcome.

Bx-Mayor Charles A. Schieren has proposedthe construction of a subway from Flatbush-avp. and Fulton-st. to the Bridge, in order torelieve the congestion of Fulton-st., in the heart

of the business section of Brooklyn. His plan

lias received the indorsement of several promi-

nent citizens of this borough who were asso-ciated with Mr. Schieren when he was Mayor

and to whom he broached the subject at therecent annual dinner of the members of hisadministration at the Hamilton Club.

The conditions which prevail in Fulton-st. aresimilar to those that existed in Tremont-st.,

Boston, prior to the opening ofthe Boston sub-way, and Mr. Schieren believes that the most

feasible relief can be found in constructing asubway, as was done in Boston. Through such

a subway the various lines of trolley cars couldbe run from Flatbush-ave. to the Bridge, leav-ing the street free for the ordinary business ofthat thoroughfare. The running of the cars inthe subway would also insure quick transit,

which would not be the least desirable of the

benefits to be gained from a subway. For sev-eral years the congestion has betn growinggreater and greater, until now it takos abouttwenty minutes to traverse this half mile in thecars. In the rush hours one can walk morerapidly than the cars are able to run.It has been proposed that Livingston-st. be

widened, and others have suggested continuingFlatbush-ave., in order to relieve the traffic inFulton-st.; but it is declared that either of theseplans would be more expensive and less satis-factory than the subway.
