BUT DOESN'T LOOK IT Horace Overton's Nineteen Children and Grandchildren Celebrate. SECRETOF HIS YOUTHFULNESS Hard Work and Temperate Living Has Kept Him Young, He Tells Brooklyn Eagle Reporter. Patchogue, L.

July 28 Horace S. Overton, one of the oldest and most re spected residents of this village, celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday on Friday, with nineteen of his children and grandchildren present. It took the form of a plcnlo at Canaan Lake, which came as a complete surprise to Mr. Overton. When an Eagle representative called at Mr.

Overton's home on Lake street today to ask him how he felt at four-score and seven, Mrs. Overton said that he had Just stepped out and would be back in five minutes. Presently a comparatively oung-looking man with gray hair came up the walk, deposited a couple of grocery packages and started to walk away. "Haven't soon anything of Mr. Overton down there The Eagle man, thinking he wa3 talking to a grocery clerk.

"I'm Mr. Overton." "Impossible! Not the Mr. Overton I mean. He's 87 years old." "That's my ago." "I don't look as old as I am," continued Mr. Overton, "because I have been a hard worker and a temperate liver all my life.

A man can stand bard work if he takes care of himself." Mr. Overton, who has been engaged in the building business all his life, said that he had probably built enough houses to make a pretty large-sized town. "I was born In Brookhuven and learned my trade in Yaphank when I was a youngster. Everything had to be done by hand in thoBe days, and it took four years to learn the trade. We worked from daylight to dark then, and it they had to do it now there would be something worse than strikes happening.

"But in those days we didn't mind It one bit, because we had an Interest in the work. My boss used to send to New York and get the rough lumber and we finished it all up by hand. All of the mantels, casings, sash and finer work that goes into a house were made by hand then, and it created an interest in the work that they don't have now-a-days. Now It simply Is a matter of driving a few nails and put ting things together, for all of the finer work is done in the shops by machinery. So they wliiEtlo along and look for quitting time, and when a man's work hangs heavy on his hands for lack of interest, time goes slowly.

Wo didn't mind twelve or fourteen hours half as much as they 'mind eight now." Mr. Overton nas been married twice, and has nine children. His first wife was Irene Robbins of Yaphank, and the present Mrs. Overton was Katherlne Corwan of Patchogue. By his first wife he had lour children, who are now Mrs.

William Daft, William R. Overton, Dr. M. H. Overton, a prominent dentist of Patchogue, and Mrs.

Edward Boynton of Boston, and the children of his present marriage are Mrs. Enoch Daft, Philadelphia; Ira D. Overton, Mrs. Robert Nevins, Miss Fannie Overton and George vf. Overton of Patchogue.

The latter is a student of dentistry the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery. M0T0RB0ATS ON LONG TRIP.

July 26-Vincenio Genesi, 18 years old, of 228 Hoyt avenue, Tivpn a suspended sentence by Judge Humphrey in the Queen County court today on an indictment cnarsmt, attempted suicide, found by a Queens County court grand Jury. He promised Judge Humphrey not to again make such an attempt. According to the story which he to the court he was in love with a girl in Italy. About a year ago. after he had become engaged to the young woman, he left his home to come to America to make his way, and he had the promise of his sweetheart that as soon as be would send her money to come to this country she would come, and they would get married.

He came to Long Island City, where his married sister was Hying. He soon obtained employment in one of the factories here, and by working overtime nearly every day and taking no holidays he was able to save enough money to furnish a home and also to bring his prospective bride to this coun-Thi was about a month ago. He ih'n wrote to bis sweetheart and asked 1... -nt ready to come and meet him Genesi said that he waited anxiously for the reply. When the letter came be opened it, and was shocked to read that the young woman had forgotten all about him and had married another man.

The Judge said that he had investigated his career since he was in the country, and he found that he had been unusually hard working, and the judge also said that he was probably better off for not having married the girl with whom he was In love, because If she could not wait a year for him perhaps she would not have made a faithful wife after marriage. Sentence was suspended and Genesi left the courtroom with members of his family. SAILORS ROBBED SN L. I. GITY Difficult to Get Convictions Against Gang.

Long Island City, July 2G Acting Cap-lain Graham, In charge of the Queens Corough Detective Bureau, has received numerous complaints of late from sailors whose ships dock In Long Island City, who say that, while passing along Vernon avenue, particularly In the neighborhood of the oil yards at Tenth street, they are held up and robbed by the young toughs who frequent the corners and saloons of the district. In spite of the lawlessness of these men who are known as the "Hunters Point Gang," It Is almost impossible to get a conviction against them on a sailor's complaint, owing to the fact that the vessel upon which the man has shipped usually leaves port before the case can be brought to trial. Members ot the gang have been arrested at various times, only to be turned loose later, due to the complainant failing to appear. Several of the assailants are ex-con-vlcts and are well known in criminal circles; some four or five are now in iall for assault and half a dozen are being held for the Grand Jury or the Court of Special Sessions.

COMMITTEE TO MEET TUESDAY To Meet Primary Law Conditions and Change From Election to Assembly District Representation, Long Island City, L. July 26 Peter L. Menninger, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Progressive party of Queens, indignantly denied, today, that the meeting of the County Committee, to be held on Tuesday night, at the Richmond Hill Progressive Club, Is for the purpose of changing the unit of representation from the Election District to the Assembly District because of the small enrollment of the party. Mr. Menninger admitted that such a change was to be made, but is necessitated entirely by the delay of the Legislature in passing the primary bill.

The enrollment of the party should have been made In May, but owing to the fact that the bill was passed Just before the adjournment of the session, the enrollment was not made until June. No action can be taken by the com mittee toward making primary preparations until the official enrollment has been published In the City Record. That will not be before August 1. With the present Election District unit, Mr. Menninger says It would be a physical impossibility to carry out the requirements of the primary law and that the change Is being made for that reason and no other.

The statements that have appeared in the press, he says, that many election districts have no Progressive en lollment is false, and that such a con dition only exists in 6 of the 161 districts In the county. Mr. Menninger stated that the Pro gressive enrollment of Queens, as reported to him a few days ago by the State Bureau of Elections, is 831 for Juiy i. He is well satlsiled with that, considering the time and conditions un der which It was taken. The Progres sive party polled a total of 15,000 votes at xne last election.

In speaking of fusion for the coming election, Mr. Menninger stated that his party would fuse with any party ready 10 aeieat Tammany Hall, regardless of Its creea. WOMAN FACTORY INSPECTOR Would Better Enforce Laws, Says O'Loughlin. Rockaway Beach, L. July 26 "The Binghamton honor, in which sixty persons, for the most part girls and women lost their lives In a factory fire, is another and startling arraignment of man- made and man-directed government," said Register Edward T.

O'Loughlin, In an address before an open air meeting. held under the auspices of the Woman Suffrage Association of Kings County, at Seaside, Rockaway Beach, last night. "Place a woman at the head of the factory lnspeotion department, and let her select her own aids to carry out the provisions of a stringent safety law, and the elimination of the numerous fire-traps and other deathtraps will follow as a matter of course. "It Is only too true, In this case, as in others, that such a bureau, under the guidance of a machine, becomes nothing more nor less than a symbol of patronage and Is often administered with no thought whatever for the safety of the helpless victims who dally run the risk of injury and death and who periodically offer up their lives by the score as a sacrifice to the god of political greed. "For years and years the women workers of New York have appealed to the Legislature for the passage and en forcement 01 laws that would protect them during their daily toll.

Because they were women, nnd had no vote, and no other way of making their influence felt on Election Day, they were coldly Ignored. On the other hand, the criminal factory owner and his friend, who could control both cash and votes, were listened to because they were men and had the right ot political franchise." EUCHRE FOR ST.

"My attention has been called to the story printed in The Eagle, that the Hal-lerans have started suit against me. I have not been served.

I have been at home, or at my place of business, almost continuously for the past month, with the exception of two days I have spent at Long Beach, my whereabouts being fully known to my friends and neighbors. The publication of this story is in full accord with conduct and char acter, and such as might be expected when Robert Price Bell, formerly of New Jersey and South Africa, appears for the plaintiff. "I regret very much that the family troubles of my daughter have been dragged Into politics and thus made public. "I have endeavored for some years to rectify the unhappy relations that have existed, but when my daughter's life was in danger I took her tj my home. "From what I know of the habits and conduct of Halleran, I cannot understand very well how he could be slandered.

"Everything I have said of Halleran is the truth, and I might say more. He will get nothing more, as the result of this suit, than the notoriety he seeks. "I have noticed that most of the In tervlews given to the precs come from Robert Price Bell and are as sensa tional as has been his past record." MASONS HAVE SHORE DINNER.
