Long Island City, July car rowdies and pickpockets learned that Long Island City is an unsafe place for their That asked I by the operationestion local police yesterday, following the quietest Sunday Long Island City has had during the summer months for several years. In vain did the reporters clamor for Sunday storles, but all they got from Lieutenant Ryan, as he looked up from his desk in the Fourth street station house, was the tantalizing assurance that no news was good news. Just three men were arrested Sunday for car a rowdyism. They were Frederick Murray of 809 Greenwich street, and Robert and William Geddes, of 62 Bank street, Manhattan. They were taken from a North Beach car bound for Manhattan late Sunday night upon the complaint of the conductor and locked up over night.

pitchen arraigned before Magistrate yesterday they were fined $5 each. It is believed that the vigilance of the police and the severe attitude shown in the courts has put a stop the unlawful element giving vent to their feelings in Long Island City. Saturday evenings and all day Sunday extra patrolmen are stationed at the Queensboro Bridge Plaza, and half a dozen local detectives aided by a dozen or more central office men travei on the cars from Manhattan to North Beach and the picnic parks throughout Newtown. Last Sunday these men gathered in sixteen prisoners, two of them pickpockets. 'The car rowdies were fined from $2 to $10 apiece, and four of them are just completing ten-day sentences because they could not pay their fines.

Such punishment has frightened future disturbers. few weeks ago County Judge Humphrey sent two pickpockets to Sing Sing for three years. The two who were arrested last Sunday were held for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Fitch. They could not raise bail, and must stay in jail until October, when the next Grand Jury meets. Then if they are indicted they will have at least another two months before getting to trial.

The outlook is not a pleasant one for the "dips," and as such news travels rapidly in the profession, it is probable that Long Island City will be fairly safe from their operations. Formerly, pickpockets were fined or else held for grand larceny, a charge hard to prove. Now the charge is disorderly conduct unless evidence strong enough for a larceny charge can be secured. The light-fingered gentry are not winning their cases as had been the custom. and the convictions are beginning to tell.

Davis, a well known Brooklyn lawyer and recently a candidate on the Progressive ticket for County Judge of Suffolk, was tramping over his potato field on Sunday last he was surprised at seeing his neighbor hastily jumping over a six-rail fence and run toward him breathless, as he shouted out, "Mr. Davis, are you dead?" Mr. Davis, somewhat astonished and fearing after all that he might be only a reincarnation of some other fellow, began pinching his legs and arms to see if he was all there and if he could substantiate his claim to the real ego. The neighbor explained to him that he had just received a telephone message from Mr. Davis' daughter with the anxious inquiry, "Is father dead?" A few minutes later a telegraphic message came from Mr.

Davis' brother in Montana, addressed to Mrs. Frank F. Davis asking her when Frank's funeral was to take place. This message had come over the wire to the Northport office the previous day, but as Mr. Davis lives three miles out of the village the telegram was put in the postottice to get out with the regular mail.

The Montana brother, getting no reply to his inquiry, telegraphed to his niece in Manhattan, Frank's daughter. She not being at home by the direction maid it was re-sent to Mr. Davis' office in the Temple Bar buildBrooklyn. The clerks there telephoned back to the daughter the contents of the message. The daughter, who had arrived at her home by that time, telephoned at once to the abovementioned neighbor at Northport, and as a result of that message he appeared before the astonished farmerlawyer with the surprising inquiry.

The daughter was so shocked by the inquiry that she was ill for two or three days. Mr. Davis, who had gone to his farm, resolved to bury himself from the outside world for, awhile to recreate, having had his telephone disconnected and not having seen a newspaper for a week found his vacation rudely broken into by messages from all quarters and. had a busy time Friday and Saturday re-establishing himself on earth, and assuring his friends, in the words of Mark Twain, that the report of his death was very much exaggerated. Mr.

Davis' brother in- Montana had seen the notice of a death in a western newspaper of a Frank Davis of New York and jumped at the conclusion at once that it must be his brother. OBITUARY. Mrs. Frederick Yardley, Sag Harbor, L. July 21-Mrs.

FROM QUEENS BOROUGH AND ALL LONG ISLAND MARINE FISHERIES JOB FOR HEDGES Eagle Representative Learns on Good Authority He Will Be Named. WILLING TO ACCEPT OFFICE, But Not With Democratic Leadership in Suffolk County Attached--Rogers May Get That Honor. Patchogue, L.

July 21-From A source that 1s considered quite thentic, it was learned in this village today that Dayton Hedges will succeed the late Edwin Bailey as Superintendent of Marine Fisheries of the New York State Conservation Commission, made vacant by the recent death of Mr. Balley. Although the appointment has not yet been made, it is expected to be officially announced within a few days. When it Arst became rumored in close political circles that Mr. Hedges was to get this appointment, it was generally taken to mean that he would also be the' organization leader of the Democratic party in Suffolk County, which distinction the late Senator Bailey held.

Dayton Hedges, Probable Successor of Edwin Bailey as Fisheries Superintendent. Mr. Hedges has been supervisor of Brookhaven Town for several terms, until he declined a renomination at the last election. He stands' high in the Democratic ranks Suffolk. He is a man of pleasant personality and address, possessing tact and diplomacy.

He is regarded as an able leader. He was much talked of as a candidate for Congress two years ago, and is garded as a man who could bring the factions of the party together. Politicians, on the other hand, are inclined to think that Mr. Hedges would not accept the position of leadership. He is quoted as saying, however, that he would take the State commission appointment without any strings of leadership in Suffolk attached to it.

The man who looms up as the most likely leader is Milton Rogers of Sayville, chairman of the Suffolk CounDemocratic Committee, and also chairman of the board of supervisors. Mr. Rogers would not discuss the leadership question today, except to say that it would fall where it naturally should fall. It is generally regarded that Mr. Rogers should be the leader.

BABYLON TRUSTEES ELECT A CLERK Joseph Warta, Brother of For- mer Clerk, Said to Be the Favorite. JOHN B. DOLLARD ALSO NAMED. Latter Is Choice of Democratic Leader, but Babylon Democrais Oppose Him. Babylon, L.

July 21-The approach of Thursday's Town Board meeting at which, it is expected, a town clerk will be appointed trustees to fill the vacancy made by death of the late then Charles Warta, gives rise to considerable speculation as to what party or what village of the town will be given the office. Joseph Warta, who acted as his brother's deputy before his death, is now filling the office temporarily. Joseph Warta is the choice of his many friends, who maintain that to appoint him would be to put into the office a man who has handled the reins at intervals and is conversant with the duties of the office. Warta is also a resident of Lindenhurst, which village claims the town clerk's a office as its just deserts. Leander Wright, the Democratic leader of Amityville, has designated as his choice John B.

Dollard, the man who ran against Charles Warta for the office in the spring of 1913 and was defeated. The appointment of Dollard, however, is being opposed by certain factions of the Democracy in Babylon not allied with the Wright-Kleindienst-Flanley combination. The position takes umbrage at the action of Wright, an Amityville man, coming to Baylon to pick out a candidate without consulting all the "powers that be." In some quarters suspicion is being cast on the sudden outburst of generosity on the part of an Amityville man toward. Babylon. The opinion of the many was pressed yesterday by a prominent Democrat.

"It does not require the research ability possessed by a William J. Burns or a Hennessy to see through this game of Wright," he said. "By giving Babylon the town clerkship at this time, he figures on appeasing the political ambitions of Babylonians SO that Amityville or some other part of the town can grab the plums at next spring's primaries. If they must throw the office our way, let us at least indorse a man who will stand some chance of election to the town clerk's office next spring." TAXPAYERS PROTEST. Forest Park Association Wants Contractors to Finish Work.

The Forest Park Taxpayers Association at its last meeting passed a resolution calling upon the Mayor, Controller, Corporation Counsel and Commissioner of Parks of the Borough of Queens to force the bondsmen of the Viaduct Contracting Company to compiete its contract for the removal of dead and diseased chestnut and hickory trees in Forest Park or forfeit $4,000, the amount of the bond.

July 21-Lawyer George R. Bristor of Manhattan, appearing as attorney for Kathryne Floyd Dana Jurgensen, aged 14 years, Ella May Caldwell, the child's mother, came before Surrogate Nicoll yesterday and asked to have the probate of the will of the late William B. Dana revoked. This will was probated November 28, 1910. Mr.

Bristor alleged that the infant named had not been cited when the will was probated, and because of this he declares the probate of the will should be opened, SO as to give her a chance to contest the probate if she wishes. Considering the length of time that has elapsed since probate and the many intricate details in the settlement of estate that have since transpired, the request is an unusual one. Percy L. Housel, counsel for the executors, objected to the motion, Later he withdrew his objections temporarily, to give Mr. Bristor time to file affidavits in an order to show cause.

The order to show cause was later signed by Surrogate Nicoll. It is returnable August 17 which time Mr. Bristor will renew his motion. Mr. Bristor filed an affidavit in the matter in which it is shown that Kathryne Floyd Dana Jurgensen, who lives on the Pacific coast somewhere, is a daughter of the late John K.

Dana, who was an adopted son of the late William B. Dana. The merits of the adoption of John K. Dana are conested by the executors of the will, however. William B.

Dana was for many years the editor and principal owner of the Financial Chronicle of Manhattan. This paper made him a millionaire. He owned estates in Mastic, L.
