July 10--Old Jupiter Pluvius, that uncertain party who puts in an appearance when we mortals wish him elsewhere and makes himself scarce when the carth yearns for moisture, did another of his perverse tricks last night when he suddenly burst forth upon the crowds attending the open-air carnival of the Babylon Library Association.

The Livingston lot, where the affair started last night for a stand, was soon deserted, with four exception of a few who sought shelter in the tents.

WICKS' NAME USED AGAIN BY FORGER Theft of Overcoat Led to All This Bother for Amityville Man.

MAN HELD AT WHITE PLAINS. Wicks' Name, Secured Through Theft, Signed to Checks in New York and in Westchester. (Special to The Eagle.) White Plains, N. July 10-Posing as Oliver F. Wicks of Amityville, a clever check forger has been swindling various persons in this village with bogus checks.

His game was 80 new to his victims that he was quite successful for a time. Giving name of Mr. Wicks, he went to the Wartell Outfitting Company and selected suit of ciotnes. He offered in payment a certified check for $37.50, drawn on the Century Bank of New York to the order of O. F.

Wickes and signed by James Dowling. Across the face of the paper was stamped the word "Certified. Tne Century Bank." Below the name of the cashier was written. The check was accepted, but within a few days it returned bearing the word "Fraud," the paper bearing the indorsement, "0. F.

Wilkes," indicating that the swindler was extremely careful in some ways but careless in others. This was shown by the misspelling of the name "Wicks." Following is the description of the forger as given to the police of White Plains: About 5 feet 6 inches in height, weight about 150 pounds, 23 years old, blue eyes and light hair. He wore a blue suit of clothes and a panama hat. The manner in whien Mr. Wicks' name was obtained is explained.

Oliver F. Wicks of Ocean avenue, Amityville, L. complained that his coat was stolen while he was attending the Motorboat Show in February. In the pockets of the missing garment were letters and papers. These letters and papers were used to good effect several times.

When a New York jewelry firm called Mr. Wicks over the telephone last March and asked him why his check in payment for some jewelry had been returned as no good, Mr. Wicks was completely mystifled. Later, however, when a man from a big New York department store went to Amityville to ask Mr. Wicks why his check for $75, which had been honored for merchandise and a cash balance, had been returned as no good, the affair was traced to the stolen overcoat.

For several days after that Mr. Wicks received packages of clothing and other wearing apparel, which had been purchased in his name by the swindler and paid for with a forged check, in nearly every case on the Corn Exchange Bank. The police were notified at the time and worked for some time on the case, without however, getting any definite clews. PAVING IN FLUSHING. Work Begins on Broadway and Also on Lawrence Street.

Church and Voice Protest. NAME A SPECIAL COMMITTEE. Will Present Their Objections to the Board of Education -Criticise Cost of Building. (Special to The Eagle) Freeport, July 10-Tuesday evening in the Bethel A. M.

E. Henry street, a negro mass meeting was held. The purpose of the assemblage, as voiced the chairman, the Rev. S. H.

V. Gumbs, pastor of the church, was to protest against a resolution placed before the Board of Education of the Freeport schools on Tuesday last. This resolution advocated a separate school for colored children. After opening the meeting with prayer and the national anthem, the Rev. Mr.

Gumbs asked the people to face with courage and earnestness the present phase of school affairs. The second speaker, A. S. Brown, carefully outlined the present situation. He explained that at the last school meeting a motion had been carried to the effect that seven men be appointed to inquire into the proposition of a graded school.

On Hiram R. Smith, as chairman, had rested the responsibility of selecting the committee. But this body, instead of dealing with the matter for which it had been formed, brought forward a resolu. tion in regard to a new high school and a separate negro school. This high school would cost Freeport about $130,000.

The new school would raise the $37, the present rate per capita of the education of colored children, to $100. In closing, Mr. Brown stated that the Separate senool system, as tried in and Huntington, had been unsuccessful. He advised the assembly to choose a committee to wait upon the Board of Education. Alter Mr.

Brown, Peter Johnson, colored, indorsed the remarks of the Rev. Mr. Gumbs. The vote was thanimously against the resolution as placed before board. A motion was carried that the Rev.

Mr. Gumbs act as chairman of a committee of three to place their case before the Board of Education. Messrs. Meyers and Johnson were named as the pastor's associates on the committee. Messis.

Williams, Monroe and White were elected nates. TIGHT MONEY AT RIVERHEAD. Battering Ram Finally Made Savings Bank Safe Open Up. Riverhead, L. July 10-The money In one of the big safes of the Riverhead Savings Bank was unusually safe for two days this week.

Try as hard as they could, the safe would not open. Whether it went on a strike because of the warm weather or because of cramming its insides with too much money is not known, for the safe wouldn't say a word when questioned. The fact is, however, that in some unaccountable way the bolts stuck, and it required much coaxing on the part of an expert from the safe factory to induce it to part with some of its precious hoard. The expert tried various "emetics" to induce the boits to let go, and Anally he used a six-foot battering ram, weighing about 600 pounds, and this medicine after repeated doses, administered every second for about two hours, produced the desired result, and at 9 o'clock last night the doors opened.

NOTES AND COMMENTS From the experience of several chauffours in running their cars on the boats of the New London route it would seem las if the company should either raise, the decks a little or tell the chauffeurs to remove their heads before running the car aboard. Some rather severe injuries have already been caused. was a Miss daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Royal Hulse, before she was married, asked her husband if he was willing for her to go to the home of her cousin, at Bay Shore, for a few days vacation.

This Cornell readily agreed to, and it was the understanding that the husband and father was to join them on the later afternoon of Thursday, July 3, and spend the Fourth with her relaI tives. Sunday morning Mrs. Cornell packed her clothes and clothing of the daughter, and, accompanied by her husband, they walked to the tracks of the New York and Long Island Traction Company, where Mrs. Cornell and the child boarded a trolley for Freeport, about noon. This was the last heard of either of them.

On the afternoon of the 3d Mr. Cornell went to Bay Shore, but when he arrived he learned that neither of the two had arrived at their destination. Since that time Mr. Cornell has heard rumors to the effect that she has disappeared of her own free will. He is still hoping that these rumors will prove untrue and that she will return to their home again with the child.

Mrs. Cornell, mother of the young man, has asked The Eagle to assist in locating the daughter-in-law and child. When they disappeared, Mrs. Cornell was wearing a black silk dress with white dots, russet shoes and a black hat with large black plume on it. She was 23 years of age, has dark hair and eyes, and is a little over 5 feet tall.

The little girl was 6 years old, 3 feet 4 inches tall, was dressed all in white with pink hair ribbons and has light hair, complexion and eyes. Mr. Cornell requests that if any of The Eagle readers know of the whereabouts of his child to communicate with him at Roosevelt, L. I. Arthur V.

S. Hicks of Merrick Road, Rockville Centre, L. a friend of Mrs. Cornell, is also missing, and Mrs. Hicks said today that he went away on the same day that Mrs.

Cornell disappeared. A Sea Cliff painter stubbed his toe so badly in a hot spell last week that he was unable to work, so he took a vacation at the harbor. We must admit that a vacation around the cool waves in a time like last week was worth most any of pain or trouble, but we had not thought of demanding it in just that way. "To one leg, will be the unusual entry in the public records concerning New Hyde Park next year, for the town board has voted to buy H. F.

Bowemann an artificial limb. It was, indeed, a commendable way for the town to spend its money, for the man is worthy of assisttance, and is willing to work when erly equipped. From railroading to chicken raising is the pleasant transition of C. A. Birs, depot master at Sag Harbor for several years.

Poultry raising is a fascinating gaine and many have found it a lucrative pastime, as well. Long Island has the acreage and the soil is of the right qualtoo, and Brooklyn demands our eggs and our broilers, SO it is small wonder that many are beginning life anew in that field which offers so much in the way of diversion and dollars. The Hempstead Inquirer advocates giving store clerks a rest two nights during the summer. It is a good idea. If customers would only make up their minds to do it, they could just as well do their trading in the daytime, and thus be responsible for producing a much-needed relief to the comfort of the clerks.

The Inquirer announces that it will print the names of all the merchants who sign a petition to close up. If the merchants pull together like they do in some villages, the Inquirer won't be burdened with a very long list. More's the pity. Horace Greeley's advice to go West is worn out. It is entirely out of order.

In Chicago the thermometer registered 102 last week. In another part of the West a Long Islander found it so hot he had to New Health Inspector Makes Thorough Investigation and Orders Changes.

James, who lives at 18 Juniper street, had not seen his brother since he left Ireland. Patrick, who made his home in Ireland, landed in America this week, and went direct to his brother's home. Patrick had been employed by Sir Thomas Lipton, the English tea merchant, for the past twenty-five years, and was recently retired on a pension. He will make his home here in the future. return.

"Go East" is the best slogan these days, and the further east on Long Island you get the more comfortable the temperature. Although but little of the small amount of wheat on Long Island is used by bakeries yet it is discovered that no bread tastes quite so good to a Rockville Centre man as that made at his home bakery. 50 he is having bread sent him by parcel post while he is temporarily out of town. It is an odd situation and a compliment to that particular bakery, at the same time. Again the progressive and philanthropic people of Huntington are to be congratulated.

When they got seriously down to business it took them but a few days to raise over $6,000 for the establishment of a Y. M. C. A. Anything that will help the morals of the young men is of lasting benefit to any community, and the HuntIngton people recognized just that in the Y.

M. C. A. scheme. That's why they were so liberal.

What's the matter with Babylon, anyway? It would seem as though some of the prominent citizens standing in the way of decided improvements to the village. Babylon is delightfully situated. It ought to grow fast into a great, big flourishing town, but in order to do this those prominent and with influence that can be made to count ought to help along rather than retard, some of the things that have lately been advocated for its advancement. The opposition to the Reid avenue extension seems to us untimely; and for another thing a public bathing resort would also be quite in order and would help the town. Our genial friend, the Northport Booster--the official fellow who writes an entertaing column in the Journal--has taken the Knocker Club's equipment out into the harbor and sunk it in the deepest spot, and we presume he transacted this business on the darkest night he could And.

The equipment consisted, according to him, of three grunts, five growls, four of them well worn, one lemon, and a bonehead. 'Tis better for every village to have them planted out of sight and some other villages will be better off if the work done in Northport, (the work is not copyrighted) is copied to the letter. If all of the motorcycle riders on Long Island rode like Charles Weller, superintendent of the Baiting Hollow and Roanoke Telephone Company of Riverhead, there would be little room for complaint about speeding or noise. One hardly ever sees him riding as though his time was worth a dollar a minute, and one rarely hears a sound like an unmuffled muffler as he glides smoothly along. Although he rides for business he apparently takes pleasure in it.

His human-being riding is to be congratulated. Brother Hoag, who is conducting a just editorial warfare on speeding and noisy motorists, would like to meet Mr. Weller, we know. The Southold Savings Bank is another of those well-managed institutions that is helping to make Long Island financially famous. Like its big sister at River' head and its smaller sisters at Sag bor and Patchogue, it is constantly rolling up wealth for its depositors, all of whom, by the way, semi-annually have verbal bouquets to throw at its officers for the business acumen they display in making the dollars work overtime to such an extent that 4 per cent.

annual dividends are always in order. The July statement has just been issuel. It shows total resources at investment value of a surplus of $716,891.23. and amount due depositors. $4,608.752.26.

Many people are justly proud of the fine schowing made by this bank. Some people were led to believe from the announcements of "great in telephone service that the rate between Riverhead and Brooklyn, for instance, would be cheaper, but it 13 learned that the reductions are a joke. As a matter of fact, the ordinary call costs more than It did before. The old rate was 50 cents for a five-minute talk. The new rate is 50 cents for a threeminute talk, with 15 cents for each additional minute.

Thus a five-minute talk now costs 80 cents, Instead of 50 cents. Before, a six-minute talk was charged 86 two calls, and one was charged $1 for rt. but he also had the privilege of talking ten minutes for the same amount 1f he ran over the five minutes. Now, it he talks six minutes the rate is 95 cents instead of $1, but he loses four minutes for the $1 charge. If he wishes to talk the ten minutes the rate will be $1.55 instead of $1, It would seem as if eastern Long Island people had a justified kick over these generous "reductions."
