One of the burglars was already at work in cellar and another was standing In the hallway when Mr. Endemann put in an appearance.

As noselessly as possible, he thrust his latch key in and turned the lock, As he stepped into the hallway, he was startled at the sight of a strange man standing between him and the stairway. The stranger evidently was startled, too, but recovered his self-possession first and gruffly demanded to know what right Endemanu had there. "You're in the wrong house," the stranger said. Quite an argument ensued, in the course of which the burglar made Mr.

Endemann out of a rush past the open door. Endemann gave chase, fugitive leading him finally to Hillthe side and Union avenues. Then began a merry hurdle over back fences and yards.

Fedden is charged with petty larceny in that a a a he took from Peter Lancilotta, the village dogeatcher. a device the latter used in catching stray unlicensed dogs.

Fedden alleges that his arrest is due to politics, and that the village dogcatcher was urged to make the complaint of petty larceny against him by unknown person, who is Lancilotta's mentor. Until Smith Cox bepresident of the village, and therecame fore chief of police, Fedden was a member of the police force. He was appointed by Captain James Hanse, who preceded Smith Cox as president. When Fedden became a member of the force he also applied for the position of agent of the S. P.

President Cox appointed Lancilotta dogeatcher last month, and the latter has been active in catching stray dogs. He always used a device with a brass wire also attached.

Fedden declared that this was cruel, and took it away from Lancilotta. Fedden took the instrument to the office of the S. P. C. A.

in Manhattan, where the authorities told Fedden it was cruel. Lancilotta, in the meantime, made a charge of larceny against Fedden. He was arraigned before Police Justice Flint and placed in the custody of his counsel. Elvin N. Edwards, for examination Tuesday.

Dr. Ford C. Ottman Is the Leader-Mrs. R. H.

Gillespie Again Sings at Assembly. (Special to The Eagle.) Stony Brook, L. July 28-The first day the first conference of the Stony Brook Assembly went by as nicely and def as successfully as the leaders in this movement expected. Yesterday began the Conference for the Study of Prophecy, under the leadership of the Rev. Dr.

Ford C. Ottman of Stamford, and it will continue through the week in a series of lectures by prominent pastors from all over the East. While this is not any means the largest and most important conference of the season, still it is a new idea, and is commanding a good deal of I attention. Ottman was quite delighted with the attendance yesterday, and there is now no doubt but that it will be a thoroughly successful move in the plannings for a big and powerful religlous organization at Stony Brook. "This particular conference," said Dr.

Ottman, "is distinctively for the purpose of studying the prophecy of the Scriptures, and it has been arranged in response to a desire shown by a large number of people with whom we ministers come in contact, in our congregations and elsewhere as well. There is a demand for the study of this subject under competent leadership. Now, we make no emphasis on the detail of prophecy, and we do not take into consideration the slight differences of opinion of various students of note. It is our wish to give the people a conception of the plan of God and the consummation of ages, as told through prophecy. People are beginning to wonder these days.

They ask, 'What is or 'What is or 'What will God and such questions as these can be readily answered through the proper study of 'The Rev. Dr. Thomas Needham ied in prayer at the opening of yesterday's service, in the auditorium. A large choir of young people's voices led in the singing. But a most noticeable feature of the service was the solo of Mrs.

R. H. Gillespie, who sang "Does Jesus Care?" Mrs. Gillespie, who has delighted the Stony Brook gatherings for years, will be on hand again this year at every service. She gives her services free.

She is soloist of the First Presbyterian Church of Stamford. The Rev. Dr. George E. Guille preached the sermon, which was, in effect, an exposition of the Epistle of Hebrews.

He took for his text Chapter "We see Jesus crowned with glory and honor." Dr. Guille brought into clear light the prophecy of the entire book; brought out distinctly the value of the understanding of it, to the present age and all ages. Perhaps with this analogy his idea was brought out with the most force: "I want to tell you a little story. You know so many of you fear selfishly--are afraid for your own safety, like this little child. He was in the garden, with his mother, when a bee stung his mother on the palm of her hand.

The child huddied close to the mother and cried, for fear the bee would sting him, too. said the mother, 'the sting of the bee is in the palm of my hand. He cannot sting you And so Jesus has suffered the sting of death for us and we cannot. suffer it. We see Him crowned with glory and honor, sitting on the right hand of God.

He died for us. He has done His work." The conference will continue until August 3. Among the speakers will be the Rev. Drs. William J.

Erdman, Aquilla Webb, Frederick E. Taylor, A. C. Gaebelein, Thomas Needbam and' C. Lee Cook.

Greenport, L. July 28-At a meeting called by the Long Island Fishermen, Gunners and Baymen's Association, and held in Village Hall, this place, Saturday evening, for the purpose of thoroughly discussing the granting of bay bottom for oyster culture, baymen from all the places in the East End attended, and much criticism was heaped upon the Shellfish Commissioners for giving title to much of the ground now held by the oystermen. The cause of the present complaint of the baymen is the granting by the commissioners of 238 acres of land to one Wells of Aquebogue, and later transferred to E. Herbert Jennings of this place. The land in question is located in Peconic Bay, off West Neck, Shelter Island, and is mapped as a natural bed by the surveyor.

The fact that the county paid $6,000 several years ago to have the natural bed mapped off from that for sale for oyster purposes has further incensed them, The president of the association, Captain J. Frank Tuthill, reported that he had consulted Judge Griffing as to the proper course to pursue to have the ground returned to the county, and was informed that but two ways were available--to have the parties return the land to the county, or through the Supreme Cout to have the deed set aside. Captain Tuthill also reported as having waited upon Mr. Jennings and being informed by him that he had a deed for this land given by the Shellfish Commission, and had no intention of giving up his rights. A motion was carried unanimously to have a committee appointed to obtain counsel and make the necessary arrangements to carry the case to the courts.

The committee selected were: Frank J. Tuthill, East Marion; George C. Ellsworth, David W. Tuthill, Henry Worthen, Greenport; Nathan Warner, New Suffolk, and R. A.

Jacobs, Amagansett. George C. Ellsworth of the oyster firm of J. J. W.

Ellsworth of New York, which firm has large holdings in these waters, stated that he believed a great injustice was being done the baymen, and inasmuch as the oystermen liked to have the baymen obey the law and keep off the oyster grounds, he believed that the oystermen should do likewise, and not take up land which they had no right to under the law. Captain Ellsworth further stated that he would share with the association the expense necessary to carry the case to the courts. Reports of the Shellfish Commission up to 1906, read at the meeting, showed that the commissioners sold 27,447 acres for oyster culture, the gross receipts tor the sale being $68,673.52 Out of this amount, the county received $27,417.75, the expense for the sale of the land being $44,271.60.

CEMETERIES OFFICIALS AGREE New Route Is a Winding One, and Ornamental Bridges and Viaducts Will Be Constructed. Woodhaven, L.

July 28-A hearing will be held before the Board of Estimate, Thursday next, on the proposed extension of Eastern Parkway through Cypress Hills and Mount Carmel cemeteries, which would afford a much needed direct artery travel between Brooklyn and Forest Park and eastward to all of Long Island. It is expected that there will be a big delegation of representatives of automobile associations and of mercantile houses at the meeting, to urge the board to take early action. An agreement has been reached between the engineers of the Board of Estimate, the sub-committee, of which President MeAneny of Manhattan is chairman, and the Cypress Hills Cemetery authorities as to the route to be taken and the character of the structure. There is no definite settlement yet as to the compensation, although the Cypress Hills trustees, who have all along asked $1 a square foot, have shown a disposition to compromise in the matter, and their latest tentative offer was about 50 cents. As 270,000 square feet of the roadway goes through Cypress Hills, this would make the total price $135,000.

The trustees of Mount Carmel refuse to make any offer for the 135,000 square feet needed of their grounds. The new route is a winding one, and ornamental bridges and viaducts will be used in passing over the valley. The proposed bighway will be 100 feet in width. CHARLES MILLER CONFIRMED. New Postmaster at Baldwin Is Not a Novice.

Baldwin, L. July 28-Confirmation of the appointment of Charles Miller as postmaster of Baldwin, to succeed Dr. William H. Steele, who resigned, was received by Mr. Miller from Representative Lathrop Brown yesterday.

The locality of the postoffice site will be changed, doubtless to the Sorrentino block. The growth of the business during the last few years warrants the change. Mr. Miller scouts the idea that Miss Mary Carman, who had acted as clerk under the Steele administration, had attempted to seek the appointment by petition. He told an Eagle reporter that it there was such a petition, Miss Carman did not know of it.

She will remain in the employ of the Government, and will act in the same capacity under Miller's term as she did under Steele. The new postmaster is not new in service. He served as postmaster in one of the villages of Hempstead during Cleveland's second term, He was a highway commissioner, receiver of taxes and a member of the School Board. He has always been an active Democratic worker. 5,000 AT KELLY'S OUTING.

There was a strong rolling surf and a tugging undertow. The swimmer was watched by a large admiring crowd.

Suddenly, Miss Ikelheimer threw up her hands and commenced to scream violently for help. She had been caught in the grip of the undertow and was being swept out from shore. Unhesitatingly Mr. Roe plunged into the surf. He is powerful swimmer.

He fought his way out to where the helpless woman was struggling. When he reached her she was ready to sink. Mr. Roe steadied her and kept himself afloat, steadily working toward shore.

RAILROAD PETITION STIRS ELMHURST Freight Terminal Sought on the Cord Meyer Property.

STREETS TO BE CLOSED. Local Board to Consider the Petition at Its Meeting Tomorrow -Protests to Be Entered. Elmhurst, L. July 28-Residents of this place are much excited over a paragraph that appeared in the local papers a few days ago among the resolutions to be taken up at the meeting of the town local to be heid at toe omee of Borough President Connolly at 2 boara, o'clock, Tuesday afternoon. It reads as follows: "Petition to amend the final map of the City of New York within the territory bounded by Hampton (Fifth) street, the Long Island Railroad, Card place and Corona avenue, by eliminating therefrom Toledo street, street, Lurting street and Railroad avenue, for the purpose establisbing a freight terminal, Souths Second Ward." It is rumored here that the Long Island Railroad has practically completed arrangements for the purchase of the property from the Cord Meyer Development Company, owner of the tract and that the railroad company has made the above petition in order to prevent the above streets from through the tract, which is now occupied as a farm.

When information was sought at the office of the Cord Meyer people, nothing could be learned. The clerk in charge stated that Bernard Suydam of Whitney avenue, Elmhurst, was the person authorized to give out information about such a deal and that he was out of town and would not return until this evening or tomorrow morning. George Card, who is now living on the property, and who has farmed it for many years, when seen by an Eagle reporter, Sunday afternoon, said, that ne knew nothing about the transaction beyond what has reached him AS rumors, and what he had read of the local board petition. Public sentiment is greatly aroused over the idea of a freight yard being the prospects are that a large do number on located in the center of the town, and will present themselves at the hearing Tuesday and make a formal protest. One man indignantly said, that be could not see why the Cord Meyer Development Company should wish to ruin the town it has done 80 much to develope, but supposed the company wished to present the exclusive and restricted property it now has at Forest Hills as being superior to Elmhurst.

Will Be' in Operation Within Ten Days, in Spite of Injunction. Freeport, L. 1., July 28-Despite the decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, handed down Friday, upholding the order of the lower court in restraining the Freeport Railroad Company from laying tracks through Grove street, the officials of the company propose going ahead with the work, all they say the railroad will be in operation within ten days. This, they say, is not 1u defiance of the courts, but, on the contrary, is in compliance with the law; but in operating as it will, the company does so under great difficulties. In the meantime, counsel for the company will prepare to take the final peal to the Court of Appeals.

While the officials are confident that they will win out, notwithstanding the findings of the two lower courts, they are losing no time in planning for the future, in the event of defeat. If the Court of Appeals upholds the Appellate Division, the railroad officials will ask for a condemnation commission. They will pay the privilege price decided on by the commission, and take full rights to the street. NO LYNBROOK PLAYGROUND. Proposition Defeated by an Overwhelming Majority.

Lynbrook, L. July 28-An effort on the part of some active civic workers in this village to get a playground for school children came to naught, when a vast majority of the taxpayers voted down a proposition to provide for the playground. At a recent meeting held in the Lynbrook High School 105 persons voted against the playground, while only 34 favored it. Judge Edward T. Neu read a resolution to taxpayers which dealt with the advisability of establishing a playground in the village for the use of school children.

The opposition shown on many sides immediately indicated that the matter was destined for defeat, but Remsen H. Shipway, chairman of the meeting, let the project go to a vote. Mr. Shipway, who was formerly trustee of the village, indorsed the movement for a playground, as did others prominent in progressive civic affairs, but the opposition had welknown residents on its side.
