SMOOTH STRANGER HAD FORGED CHECKS Riverhead Merchants Duped by Young Man Who "Boards Near Here." GETS $75 BY A NEW GRAFT. Hands Out Certified Checks That Are Bogus Now He Is Sought by Pinkertons. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. August 27 Three of Riverhead's business men would like very much to meet a smooth, well-dresBed young man, aged about SO years, who claims that his name is C. Moore, and vho gives his residence as Jamestown, for they have each been "stung" for $25 by such an Individual.

The Pinkertons are also looking for this man on a charge ot forgery. This man has a new graft. At least it is one that has not been heard ot on Long Island for a long time. His particular line in this place was getting local people to cash certified checks for $25 each, sometimes by first buying a bill of goods and at others by elmply asking for an accommodation. It was a graft that proved to be a veritable gold mine in Riverhead.

The merchants requested The Eagle not to tell the public their names. "We don't want to be kidded all the rest of our lives," they say. The man walked into a clothing store a few nights ago and bought three one-dollar shirts and a suit of underclothes for $1.50. The total bill was, of course, $4.60. Jabbing his hand down In his pocket, he pulled out a small wad of crumpled up bills.

Counting them, he found be had but $3. "Too bad," said he, "but this is all the money I have. I guess I will have to leave the goods until tomorrow. I am stopping near boarding for the summer, so I will stop In the next time I am in town and take the package." He turned toward the door. "Oh, by the way," he said, turning half around and fishing a check from his pocket, "I have a certified check on my home bank, and if you will cash that I will pay you now." The merchant was very obliging and cashed It, deducting the $4.50.

Then the stranger faded from view. This Time He Knew the Unwary Storekeeper. At another place he walked into a store between two woman whom the proprietor knew and who supposed the man was them a relative visiting here, or something of that sort. "Rood evening, Mr. he said calling the proprietor by name.

Then he started his story: "I have been trying to get into the banks, but I find I am too late. I am stopping near here for the summer and find I am all out of cash, but 1 have a $25 check, certified, and aBk If you will be so kind as to cash It for me." The merchant was delighted to do it. All strangers receive a cordial welcome in Riverhead, but to the credit of the town It Bhould be said that not many of them call upon such errands as did this one. The same tactics were successfully worked In another large store in town, and the man departed $25 richer. It was not until yesterday that the merchants learned they had been duped.

The bank In Jamestown (the man's "home wired that the name of the cashier on the check was a miserable forgery; so. too, was the entire certification. Neither did the man have any deposit in that bank. It was learned yesterday, too, that at least two of Riverhead's merchants were not "easy marks." It can also be added, by way of parenthesis, that the graft can't be again worked here for some years to come. Two men were approached with $25 certified checks and refused to hand over any cash for them.

The stranger was nicely dressed and appeared to be refined. He would pass as a genteel summer boarder anywhere, said one of the victims. CYCLE RIDE DISASTROUS. Shaunessy Came to Grief In First Speeding Experience. Bay Shore, L.

August 27 William Schablowskl of Dean and White streets, Brooklyn, came to Bay Shore, Sunday, on his motorcycle, to visit his friend, John Shaunessy.

O'Leary, Acting Borough President in the absence of Borough President Connolly of Queens, said yesterday in regard to the threatened exposure of graft by the borough administration: "In the absence of the Borough President and knowing his desire that every operation of the municipal government of Queens shall be fully open to the public view and carried on honestly and efficiently, I say authoritatively that, if any person knows of anything wrong In the borough government or in the conduct, of any of Its officials, If he will expose the wrong in the public press and expose the wrongdoer, and. If anything criminal Is Involved, If he will lay the facts before the District Attorney at once for prosecution, the President, as well as myself, will give the fullest co-operation to the end that the wrong doing may be fully exposed and the wrongdoers punished to the full extent of the law." OBJECTS TO REMOVAL OF IPFALLS BODIES Justice Green Says Taking Them to Suffolk County Was Illegal. DROWNED NEAR AMITYVILLE. Suffolk Coroner Says Nassau County Has No Jurisdiction Over Waters of Bay. tSpeclal to The Eagle.) Amltyville, L.

August 27 Asserting that the removal of the bodies of George H. McFalls and his daughter, Marion, of Brooklyn, from the Great South Bay, in waters adjacent to Nassau County, to Amltyville, In Suffolk County, was unlawful, Justice John I. Green, of Farm-Ingdale, says he has taken the matter before the District Attorney of Nassau County, who is said to be Investigating the case with the intention of bringing the matter before the grand Jury of that county. Judge Green states that a similar case, which the Nassau County people permitted without objection, occurred earlier in the summer when Chauacey Smith was drowned near the same spot where the Mc-Falls sank. Smith's body was removed to Amltyville and a death certificate given by a Suffolk County coroner.

Amltyville, which is in Babylon town, Suffolk County, adjoins the town of. Oyster Bay, which Is in Nassau County. According to Judge Green, who has. been over the ground recently, Mr. McFalls and his daughter and Smith were drowned in the waters of the bay off the town of Oyster Bay.

When rescued, Instead of being taken to the town of Oyster Bay they were removed out of I the county to Amltyville. In the McFalls case It has been learned that two separate sets of death certificates were filled out. One was the set made by Coroner E. S. Moore of Suffolk County.

The other set was made out by Judge Green, after he had viewed the bodies, some hours, he says, before Coroner Moore appeared, and waa alBO sent to the State Department of Health. To an Eagle reporter today, Judge Green said: "We in Nassau County said nothing when the body of Chauncey Smith waB removed from our county to Suffolk County, and placed In the care of an Amltyville undertaker. We simply ascertained In that case that our rights had been ignored and said nothing. When this McFalls case came It was decided to do something. The District Attorney has been looking into this matter and 1 expect that it will be brought before the grand jury." Coroner E.

S. Moore told a reporter that he was giving the matter no attention: "The bodies were in Suffolk County when I viewed them," he said. "Besides, the bay is State waters and belongs no more to Oyster Bay than to Babylon town. I don't expect to pay any attention to the matter." District Attorney Charles N. Wysong of Nassau County said today that the dispute between Justice Green and Cor- oner Moore would be automatically set- tied by the State Department of Health when the two reports were received at Albany.

The decision of the department would stand, he said, and his office will take no further action. CHATFIELD'S WILL Late Southampton Lawyer Gives $23,000 Estate to His Widow. Riverhead, L.

Wick-man to Keep WilTie Off the Stage. A "Little Lord Fauntleroy," with embroidered collar and otherwise elaborate dress, In the person of Willie Wickman, 8 years old, appeared yesterday in the Jamaica Children's Court on a charge of improper guardianship. Willie, who Is rather small and petite, and who, it was declared, appeared as a performer at Ruden's Casino, Arverne, In violation ot the law, had to stand on tip-toe in order that he might look over the desk and Into the stern, but kindly, face of Justice Ryan. The officers of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children found Willie performing on the Casino stage one evening last week. Willie, they said, was singing ragtime songs and dancing in an evening dress suit and a silk opera hat, twirling, a small cane the while, much to the amusement of a large audience.

After his turn, it was said, Willie went down and mingled with the the audience, hobnobbing at the tables with men who were enjoying huge glasses ot ambrosia of Gambrinus. J. W. Ruden, the proprietor of the Ca sino, appeared in the Children's Court, as did also the boy's mother, Mrs. Wickman.

it was charged against Ruden that he had a circular advertising little Willie as one of the leading attractions and one of the youngest actors In vaudeville. Wlchman, who said she lived at 2030 Fulton street, Brooklyn, and that she was one of the guests at the Casino. paying board there, denied that Willie received any compensation for perform ing and sang on the evening of his arrest only by request. Mrs. Wickman said she had put her other children to bed and was Just coming after Willie when the officers of the Children's Society ap peared.

The circular. Mrs. Wickman said, had reference to her other son, Bertie, who is 16, and that a mistake had been made in the name. Bertie was unable to appear on the night in question Dccause of a cold. Rudel 'also tried to explain the circumstances, but neither his explanation nor that of Mrs.

Wickman impressed the court to any great degree. Justice Ryan told Mrs. Wickman she could take her boy away on condition that she would not allow him to act on the stage any more. The woman furnished bonds and the case was held over for further Investigation until September 9. BENEFIT FOR ST.

August 27 There Is every probability that before next summer arrives the building of a new Catholic church at Bridgehampton will be well under way. A meeting was hold on Saturday evening in Atlantic Hall, at which this matter was thoroughly dis- eussed before a considerable audl.nt'e of Catholics from Bridgehampton, Water Mill and other smaller villages in the vicinity of the proposed parish. The Rev. Francis J. O'Hara, rector of the Church of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and at Southampton, presided over the gathering and explained to the people the work that must be done In order to establish the church here.

Several months ago a beautiful church site was purchased in Bridgehampton, consisting of a little more than two acres of unobstructed land In a most desirable location In the village. This Father O'Hara told his hiarers, wus about half paid for by subscriptions which have been raised among the people, and it is his desire as well as that of the Right Rev. Charles E. McDonnell, with whose sanction the land was bought through a committee, to have the land entirely clear of debt bofore any building is started. Thus far Catholics of Bridgehampton and neighboring villages and hamlets have been compelled to go to Southampton to church on Sundays, a distance of All Is Harmony at Party Conventions In Long Island City Burden for Sheriff Becker for County Clerk Resignations of Bull Moose Received.

I have no criticism to make and no desire to go to Congress. Two years ago, when I had the same proposition suggested to me before the name of Martin W.

Although not a delegate, I expressed myself at that time as being a supporter of his cause."

TWO PLANS ARE ADVOCATED. One. for City to Build, With'Ownew Ceding: Land Other for Owners to Build.

For over two hours last night nearly two hundred property owners of Arrern wrangled among themselves at the Ooean Front Casino, attaohed to the new Arverne Hotel, as to whether they would contribute enough money to build a new boardwalk to replace the present one or whether the ocean-front land owners would cede to the city enough land for the purpose of the city's erecting and maintaining one. The only conclusion reached from the session, which was tense at times, was that the elty will not have the pleasure of building the new walk If It requires the land to be ceded by the owners. When a rising vote was 1'ed t0 BOund the Bentlment on that proposition, only two of the entire gathering arose. Chairman F. W.

Avery informed the property owners that the Department of Docks and Ferries, by whose order the boardwalk was closed on May 24 last. because of its unsafe condition, will not tolerate the walk's being opened next year. Officials of the department told him, Mr. Avery said, that they were lenient with the Board Walk Owners Association this year, but that they did not intend to extend any clemency in 1913 at the possible cost of human lives, all of which means that the walk must remained closed or a new one be erected. Louis J.

Sommervllle said that he was strongly in favor of a city-owned walk, end he gave divers reasons why those wno owned the land fronting on the water should cede to the city the land required. He said he would favor, too, the formation of a Btock company which would insure good dividends to subscribers and let the company erect the boardwalk.

The upshot of the meeting was the adoption of a motion that plans be for-Tiulated for the organizing of a stook company, and to sound the sentiment of the property owners snent the scheme to have each of them make the donation suggested by Mr. Montgomery.
