Permission to use the grounds for the May 26 occasion , it was claimed , was gran ted in consideration of a fee paid by the bund and was voted by the league ' s directors at a Brooklyn meet- ing two weeks earlier. In the course of the May 26 pro- gram , which was directed by Klapp- roth , an appeal .was made , to Brook- have n Town and Suffolk police au- thorities by George Fredericks of Amityville , representing Ernest Muel- ler , former president of the German- American Settlement league.
