WANT PAID FIREMEN Bayside Has Outgrown Volunteers System, Petitioners Maintain. The first step toward securing a paid fire department for Bayside has been taken the Bayside Board of Trade. Petitions are being circulated throughout the section. The text the petition urges the extension of the paid fire department to Bayside because the section has outgrown the services of volunteers. out very emphatically states that the volunteers are doing excellent work, but it insists that isasmuch as the people of Bayside are paying taxes to support a paid department they should get the advantages there.

DISCUSSES NIETZSCHE Prof. Spaeth Lectures on Philosophy of the Superman. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L.

March 7---Professor J. Duncan Spaeth of Princeton, in a lecture last night at the Bijou Theater, under the auspices of the Huntington Branch of the Brooklyn Institute, on "Nietzsche and the Philosophy of the Superman," said that Nietzsche, although popularly associated with Treitschke and Bernhardi as the author of the ideas now underlying the policies of the German Empire, is radically different from the other members of the famous triumvirate. He said that while the latter two as above named were in hearty accord with the nationalism now prevailing in the Germanic Empire, Nietzsche was an individualist, and anarchistic In his beliefs. He was an apostle of aristocracy, a defendant of the class, as against the mass. He opposed industrial combinations, mobilization and standardization as discouraging originality and independence of thought and belittling the man.

The speaker said further, in part, that Nietzsche maintained that war and victory were better doctrines for the race than peace. He was a creator of paradoxes. His works produced a tremendous fermentation In Europe. SAY COLLECTOR KEPT MONEY. Joseph W.

Bill to Permit Two Adjacent School Districts to Consolidate Passed. Albany, March 7--A bill permitting two school districts to consolidate for incorporation as a village has passed both houses of the Legislature and now goes to Governor.

These bills were introduced by Senator George L. Thompson and Assemblyman Henry A. Murphy. The enactment of this law will permit the incorporation of the village of Huntington as a first-class village with a population of 8,000. It would comprise the two school districts of Huntington and South Huntington, the latter a rapidly growing suburb of Huntington.

A movement for this is under way. EAGLE LEAGUE'S PLAN AIDS TEAMS ON L. I. New Arrangement for Nines Outside of Brooklyn Makes Entrance The invitation extended by The Eagle last week to Long Island baseball teams to enter the Junior Eagle Baseball League of 1917 bore good results. Long Island as a whole, for some unknown reason, in the 'past has been neglected when new baseball leagues were formed in Brooklyn.

Last year, for instance. there were a number of excellent nines outside of Brooklyn which entered the league and had to travel the long distance between their homes and the Prospect Park Parade Grounds before they could play. This year a new plan has been put into effect, and the results will be watched with interest by all Junion Eagle fans. For Long Island has produced some championship timber. perhaps the most prominent of which is the Oriole team of Hollis.

In the 1916 season of the Junior Eagle League the Orioles played such excellent baseball that they were considered championship contenders after the first few games had been played. Their young pitcher, Harry Van Dike, was 80 much better than the other pitchers in the league that he had four straight no-run, no-hit games to his credit at one time. But the Orioles found it too hard to make the long trip from Hollis to Brooklyn, and finally they dropped out. It is more easy for teams in the Long Island division to play their games this season. One car line will take them to McCarren Park from any point in Queens Borough.

That in itself is an inestimable advantage. And the time saved is another feature that should be remembered. All boys--any place on Long Island--who contemplate forming a baseball team and would like to join the Junior Eagle League should write to the Sporting Editor of The Eagle for information. I DANIEL CHAUNCEY'S HOME IN CEDARHURST SUES TRUSTEES FOR TRUST FUND SHARE They Should Have Ignored Her Father's Financial Advice, Miss Neesham Contends. When John W.

Neesham and S. Roy Neesham, father and son, of Flushing, as trustees under the will of John Neesham, the former's father, invested $220.93, a trust fund created for the three children of Robert C. Neesham. in the Industrial Savings Loan Company of Manhattan, a concern now in the hands of the State Banking Department and in process of liquidation, did they use good business judgment? The question was raised yesterday before Surrogate Daniel Noble of Queens County, at Jamaica, at a hearing on objections trustees' accounting filed by Grace Neesham, who demanded that the trustees be surcharged for the loss of her share in the trust fund amounting to $73.64. Lawyer Harrison S.

Moore, representing the trustees, contended that inasmuch as Grace's father, Robert C. Neesham, urged the trustees to invest in the Industrial Savings and Loan Company, having, apparently, the interests of his own children at heart, his clients could not be held liable. Lawyer W. 0. Wood, representing the objector, declared the trustees used poor judgment in taking the advice of Robert C.

Neesham, whose own father evidently had no faith in his business acumen because he failed to name him as executor or trustee in his will. Lawyer Moore defended the business judgment of Grace's father, which was appreciated by Robert C. Neesham, and his daughter Grace, who sat together in the courtroom. Surrogate Noble held the view that the trustees were not liable and passed the account. CONTRACTOR SENT TO JAIL Stole Four Boxes of Tile From Flushing Man.

Two months in the Workhouse was the sentence meted out to Frank Greco, a mason contractor, of 63 Nicholas street, Corona, in the Jamaica Court of Special Sessions, yesterday, by Justices McInerney, Herbert and Garvin.

Michael Defio, known also as Michael Devere, 18 years old, of 66 Catherine street, Jamaica, convicted of possessing heroin, was committed to the penitentiary. LEAVES HUSBAND $5 A WEEK.

Value of Mrs. Rose Cooper's Estate Put at $5,000.

URGE CITY TO DO ITS PART FOR NEW ROAD Far Rockaway Progress Society Asks Estimate Board to Appropriate $350,000. The Progress Society of Far Rockaway has passed a resolution calling upon the Board of Estimate to appropriate money for the improvement of the Rockaway Boulevard from Jamaica to Far Rockaway. Land needed to make the highway wider has already been acquired along the entire route, and as the section of the road which runs through Nassau County is to be built by the State, the work is held up only by the need of $350,000 to pay for the section from the westerly boundary of Nassau to Jamaica.

The State is to construct its portion of the road at an estimated cost of $130,000. William S. Pettit, of Far Rockaway, as counsel for Nassau County the acquisition of land for the new thoroughfare, secured the property, including two houses on the line, at less than $10.000. Most of the large landowners dedicated their land for the roadway. The city spent $100,000 for land on which to build the Queens section.

The proposed road runs from Jamaica. to Far Rockaway, following the tracks of the Long Island Electric Railroad from the outskirts of Jamaica to Burnside avenue, Inwood; thence westward along Burnside avenue to Sheridan Boulevard. Most of the route is a road which at present is in very poor condition. The plans call for widening the highway as well as laying a subatantial surface.

AGREES TO BUILD CAR LINE Wins Victory in Controversy With Queens Concern. The New York and Queens County Railroad Company today agreed to begin construction in April, 1918, of the trolley line through Flushing avenue, Queens Borough, from Ehret to Jackson avenue, which it abandoned some time ago. The agreement was contained in a stipulation filed with Justice Aspinall in the Supreme Court in the mandamus action brought by the Public Service Commission, after the company had declined to resume operation of the road. The line was discontinued in 1915, when the work of filling in the Flushing meadows was begun. The line had been operated on a trestle and the creation of solid land would have vested the company with a franchise to operate cars over it, along the line of the old trestle.

The railroad company declined to resume the line, howsaying it did not pay. It also deever, clined to construct a temporary detour. "NOTHING AMUSING IN CITY'S FOOD RIOTS" Huntington Woman, Answering Pigot, Tells Why Poor Don't Turn Agriculturists. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L. March 7-John J.

Pigot, who signed himself "practical amateur farmer," in a communication on "Food and Farming," in a newspaper recently has received a return shot from a Huntington woman who says in a letter written to him that she fails to see where there is cause for amusement in the food rioting in Manhattan and Brooklyn and that "you rich people have no conception of the hard work it is for a man at daily wage pay rent and feed and clothe three more children at prestor ent prices." The letter is in answer to Mr. Pigot's assertion that "it amuses me to read of the food riots in New York City, when there is enough unoccupied ground within the City of Greater New York to produce enough vegetables to feed the whole population of the city for half a year. There are thousands and thousands of acres of idle soil within grown the from city 50 to limits, 500 in which bushels can bel to the acre; 200 to 1,000 bushels of onions to the acre and three crops of certain vegetables, a season. Fodder and feed for milk A and egg production can be grown within a radius of 100 miles of New York City that would warrant a year's supply. The very people of who 'today' are rioting in the matter of food are the very people responsible for the great shortage of vegetable foodstuffs.

The writer, who says she is one of a family of three grown folks and three small children, is 67 years old, and cites her own family's case as an example of the situation in which many of the poor find themselves. They had about $100 saved up a year ago, but the mother of the children was taken ill and was in the hospital for nearly two months where she was forced to go under two operations. The savings have dwindled to about $10. The writer was a farmer's wife; the son has passed much of his early life on the farm and the son's wife was brought up on the farm, according to the letter. The family, for some time, has been looking for a small place that they could farm, but she calls attention to Mr.

Pigot that it takes considerable money to hire land, buy seeds and live while the crops are coming on. "The people who you say are riotIng for food have not the means to do with." she adds. "I lived in New York and Brooklyn many years. My mother was a missionary among the poorer class on the East Side. You rich people don't know (only from hearsay) how the poor, respectable class live.

They only ask for work and living wages, and can't save a dollar these times." per Mills, Riverhead, was forwarded The letter ten sent to Mr. Pigot at Upto him at Murphy's Hotel, Richmond, who in turn sent it to the local authorities with a notation as follows: "The inclosed is referred to you, without comment by me and a reply is not necessary." KENNEL PARTNERS DISAGREE. Mrs. Sherwood Wants Receiver to Handle Wensen Firm's 'Affair. Mrs.

Lulu M. Sherwood of Roslyn, L. obtained an order from Justice Newburger in the New York Supreme Court directing Mrs. E. Mary Sinclair to give reasons why a receiver should not be appointed to take over the partnership venture in dealing with fancy breeds of dogs.

The application is made returnable before Justice Delehanty in Part I of the Supreme Court. According to the petitioner, the business venture was started on January 19, 1916, under the name Wensen Kennels. Mrs. Lulu Sherwood says that kennels were obtained at 322 West 101st street, and also her home in Roslyn, Mrs. Sinclair advanc.

ing the money to finance the venture and profits were to be divided equally.

She delcares that all the books and papers in reference to the partnership and $500 in money were taken away, also without her consent. The Supreme Court is asked to appoint a receiver pending the settlement of the controversy. ICE JAM WRECKS LONG DRAW BRIDGE 100 Feet of 500-Foot Structure at Tangier Is Carried Away.

(Special to The Eagle.) Lookhaven, L. March 7-The Tangier Bridge was destroyed by the ice jam when the ice broke up on the bay and moved eastward, under a stiff wind, late Monday night, or early Tuesday morning. Over 200 feet of the structure is a wreck. in the channel off Smith's Point. This section includes the draw, which, with all its I machinery, is a total wreck.

The bridge is a wooden structure about 500 feet long. It furnished the only direct means of communication with the Great South Beach, west of Westhampton and east Long Beach. This bridge figured in news, several months ago, when the Tangier Manor Corporation offered to dedicate it to Brookhaven Town, together with the Suffolk boulevard, a 4-mile stretch of road extending from the South Country road to the bridge, and the road extending from the bridge to the ocean. Former Supervisor Dayton Hedges acted as the agent of the Tangier Manor Corporation. A bitter fight was waged against accepting the bridge, on the ground that plans were filed with the War Department and approved for an immense steel bridge.

(Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. 7-Fire of unknown origin threatened the destruction of the Patchogue High School bullding in South Ocean avenue late yesterday afternoon. Battalion Chief Louis Budd was overcome by smoke, and Russell Brown, a member of the Truck Company, falling one leg. Several of the firemen sufthrough a burned portion of the floor, wrenched his back and in badly bruised fered severely from the smoke, though not overcome, particularly those who manned the stand line inside the building, Willian B. Sinn, Ernest Chichester and Arthur Harding.

The fire was discovered at 5:30 by Ernest Chichester. No one was in the building at that time, the last of the teachers and pupils having left about 4 o'clock. It is believed that the damage by flames, smoke and water is at least less than $5,000. The High School building is a square three-story structure, with an extension built on the rear. The use of it has been criticised by the State Department of Education, and new building has been planned for some time, the site having been obtained last year.

The fire started in the rooms on the south side of the second floor, used as a physical laboratory. It had its origin behind the baseboard near the floor and ate its way through the wall to the third floor, where it broke out into the rooms and through the outer wall under the cornice. Pending the arrival of the department, which made excellent time in getting to the blaze despite the bad conditions in the streets, Firemen Wiljam Sinn, Ernest Chichester and Arthur Hurd, who were in the neighborhood, entered the building and manned the stand -pipe line on the second floor, running it to the third floor. It was while directing this stream that Battalion Chief Louis Budd was overcome by smoke. He was carried out of the building and remained unconscious for ten minutes.

About a dozen trophies won by the High School team were on exhibition in the 1'00m of the principal, Mrs. Fannie Furman, on the third floor. George Dare, a student, remembered these, and Fireman Sinn offered to secure them. He made two trips and believed he had secured all, when it was found that The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Trophy was missing. Sinn made a third trip to the room and located it.

The ebony base was thrown out of the window and caught in an overcoat used as a blanket, and held by the student. Fearful of breaking the bronze statue, he carried it back with him, groping along the floor on hands and knees. Professor W. E. Gordon, tendent of Schools, made his way to his office and took his records out of the building, and Joseph Gould.

a member of the Board of Education, who was on hand shortly after the fire was discovered, engaged in similar work. Fire Chief Robert H. Valentine and his men were commended on all sides for the efficient work they performed in saving the building. Professor Gordon, superintendent, and Mrs. Fannie Furman, principal, met with the faculty this morning to make arrangements for continuing sessions during the period the building will be unfit for occupancy.

The 1917 class will hold its sessions in the auditorium of the Wilmot M. Smith school in Bay avenue. Some of the classes may be able to meet in the addition in the rear, which is but slightly damaged by water or smoke. SUPPER TO FIRE COMPANY. Oyster Bay, L.
