THE BROOKLYN DAILY BOROUGH AND LONG ISLAND GRIFFITH, FOR SHERMAN, IS INSTRUCTED FOR 'T. What Will the Queens County Chairman Do at Saratoga? OBEY IMPULSE OR ORDERS? on the Street" Thinks Frank A. Leete Destined to Be a Power in Queens Politics. County Chairman Colonel William M. Griffth may be a Sherman man, as reported, but as a delegate to thee Republican state convention from Fourth Assembly District he is instructed to support Colonel Roosevelt; to vote for direct primaries and to advocate the election district unit of representation.

By capturing the nomination for member of Assembly, Frank Leete demonstrated that he is to become an important taotor in the councils of the Republican party in Queens. Mr. Leete was most bitterly opposed by the GriffithAshmead-Moore combination, and other deaders, but it is a matter of record 'that he defeated his opponent by a vote of 37 to 22. County Clerk Martin Mager was not given any consideration in the selection of delegates to the Democratic state convention by the Cassidy-Harvey tion, which some say means that no mercy is to be shown to him by the Democratic bosses in Queens. But would not the conditions have been different had Mager and his friends showed any serious opposition at the primaries? By demanding that his name be presented at the convention for re-nomination, Assemblyman Theodore P.

Wilsnack seriously embarrassed the Jamaica leaders, and his action is said to have been responsible for the very narrow escape that the county chairman had from be1ng refused the privilege of being a delegate to the state convention. The Republican county convention, to nominate a candidate to succeed 1 Surrogate Daniel Noble, will be held at Long Island City on the evening of Wednesday, October 12, and it promises to be one of the most interesting political contests in years. The office is one of the most attractive political plums, for it carries with it a lot of patronage. The two most prominent candidates for the nomination, against Noble, are former Assistant District Attorneys Eugene N. L.

Young and Rawdon W. Kellogg, both of whom are very popular members of the Queens County Bar Association, the former being president of the a association. The suffragettes are exceedingly active dn Queens, as in all other sections of the state, and a young man who was a delegate to one of the assembly conventions that was held this week, tells of having been approached by one of them who, in the most winning manner, requested him to carry to the convention some of their literature and distribute it among the delegates. Appreciating what his position would be, the young delegate begged to be excused, but did not succeed until he had convinced her that more could be accomplished by "tackling" the nominee before election and getting a pledge from him to advocate her cause, which does seem to be a more effective plan. It what a former matron of the Queens County Jail says about the conditions that existed there among the women prisoners is true, it is indeed a most disgraceful public abuse and it is no wonder that the Flushing Taxpayers' Association has demanded that District Attorney Frederick G.

DeWitt institute a grand jury investigation of the charges. THE MAN ON THE STREET. 3,353 ON PART TIME. Schools in Part of Second, -and the Third, Fourth and Fifth Queens Wards Badly Congested. District Superintendent Edgar D.

Moore came in contact on with the third rail in one of the tunnels underneath the East River while at work. It seems that he had crawled into a manhole and that a shovel which he carried fell out and came in contact with the third rail. The man died from shock and burns. In its verdict the jury declared that Moore came to his death through contributory negligence on his part, but the company which operates the tunnel was censured for not taking proper precautions to safeguard the lives of its employes. In the case of Albert Curran, 32 years! old, whose residence was given as the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he was employed, and who died in St.

But for the presence of mind and action of Theodore F. Archer, quick, fifteen-year-old son of Theodore F. Archer, a prominent Jamaica real estate man, of 140 Union avenue, Beatrice Lewis, 17 years old, of Port Washington, L. 1., a daughter of Charles F. Lewis, county treasurer Nassau, might have been severely burned, last evening, when an automobile in which she was sitting caught fire.

Miss Lewis, who is generally known as "Trixy," was visiting at the Archer home. Her father and the head of the Archer family are close friends, both in business and socially. Last evening young Archer took Trixy out for an automobile ride. They stopped at a garage at Fulton street and Merrick: road to get a supply of gasoline. Archer told the man who was taking his order that he was not sure that the oil cup of his machine was full.

Then someone carelessly struck a match. The gasoline became ignited and flames began to shoot up all around the car. Miss Lewis was seated in the front seat of the car when the flames began to lick the sides, and she screamed in terror. Young Archer jumped into the machine and pulled the young woman out quickly. Then he secured a fire extinguisher and with the aid of several workmen, soon had the flames under control.

Young Archer sustained a few burns about the hands and arms. Miss Lewis was not injured, but she suffered a little from the shock of her experience. She is much afraid of fire ever since her mother, several years ago, lost her life when the Lewis home, at Port Washington, was destroyed by flames. LONG ISLAND OBITUARY. Barbara Peters.

Langley's country home in this-village, a brand-new industry has been created or discoveredthat of raising terrapin. It was during the middle of June that Arthur Brown, a gardener on the Langley place, discovered in an asparagus bed a nest of nearly a hundred eggs, which had the appearance of terrapin eggs. He left the eggs alone, but kept a watch, as he surmised the eggs would hatch. Much to his gratification things progressed nicely, and last week he found four newly hatched terrapin crawling around on top of the earth near the nest. It is supposed that the eggs were deposited by a pair of terrapin sent to Major Langley some months ago.

TWO MORE THAN LAST WINTER 116,241 Residents of Borough Attended Previous Course--Average Attendance at Each, 160. The free public lecture course for the 1910-1911 will open on October 1, year and Supervisor Leipziger has increased number of centers in the Borough of the Queens. This year there will be twentyeight centers. One of these is Public School No. 22, Sanford avenue and Murray Flushing, on Monday nights; another is Springfield Presbyterian street, Church, Springfield avenue and Broadway, Springfield, on Thursdays, and the other is at the Parental School, Jamaica road, Flushing, or between Jamaica and FlushSaturday nights.

The first lecture ing, on the latter place will be given October in Saturday--by Charles Samuel Ta1-next "'The Unique United States." The tor, on eleven lectures at this center are on miscellaneous subjects. with the announcement of the Together new year, Dr. Leipziger bag issued his refor the past year. It shows that port Queens contributed 116,241 to the total attendance in the city of 959,982. Last year there were in this borough twentysix centers, and 723 lectures were ered.

The average attendance at each This is not 80 good as in the was 160. three more populous boroughs-Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn--but is betthan in Richmond. The reason for ter is that the population is this, of course, scattered. In his report the supervisor says that the interest of the auditors who attended the lectures proved that the desire instruction on the part of a large number of persons is great. "To the credit of our great city, let it be said with pride," he says, "her example has been followed by more than 100 other cities, which have in some form or other adopted systems of public lectures.

New York City, however, is the only one in which the education of the adult is an integral part of its education system." Great changes have come since the lecbegun in the old city of ture system was New York in 1888. At that time there not a single auditorium, such as now was exists. In the first six lecture centers that were chosen the lectures were given the top floor of the school building, on and the people sat on benches intended solely for children. The supervisor has a vision of even 8 larger use for the school buildings than free lectures. He says he looks forward to a wider opening of the schoolhouse door, so as to make each lecture center a people's forum, where political discussion may be engaged in without endangerthe school.

"By this," he says, "I ing mean politics in the broadest sense, not partisanship. Twelve thousand young men, it is reckoned, are annually preparing to become voters in the city, and where better than in our great schoolhouses should this army of young men be prepared, by non-partisan teachers, through the lessons of history and economics, to become intelligent wielders of the right of suffrage, and where better than in the schoolhouse shall the people discuss the great questions of the day, such as the need of a child-labor law, tenement-house legislation, public ownership of railways, or the nature of trusts? A beginning has already been made in this direction." Lectures res in the Italian, Yiddish and pose the preparation of immigrants German languages, having for their a purfor citizenship, have been successfully continued, and lectures on "First Aid to the Injured" and "The Prevention of Tuberculosis" have been made special features. "The free lecture system was not primarily intended for the instruction of Immigrants," says the supervisor; lecture "yet through such agencies the courses the immigrant 1s made alive to the opportunities and duties that America affords. The newly-landed immigrant. may now receive instruction in his own tongue in the principles of American history.

The Watchman of Greenport that an injustice has been done that flourishing East End village, the population of which has been published as 2.089, whereas, the Watchman says the census shows that it numbers a thousand more souls. Just how the error was made by the papers which printed the erroneous figures is not quite clear, but as the Watchman claims that The Eagle was one, his correction is accepted and the credit is given Greenport for having 3,089 people within its corporate limits. The village is one of the most progressive on the North Fluke, and of it one may say, as "Father Phil" said of "Oney," in "Handy "Well done; ye deserve to prosper, for ye make good use of your thrivings." Sometimes harassed by critics, but not dismayed, is Editor King of the Westhampton Beach Chronicle.

This is how he sizes up the situation as it affects him: "The man who edits the average country newspaper cannot well avoid treading on somebody's toes continually; must expect to be censured often for unintentional failures; must expect hard work and little thanks; must expect to be called a coward, because he does not 'pitch into' everything that somebody thinks is wrong. and a fool is he speaks out too plainly on public evils: he must expect 10 grind other people's axes--and turn the grindstone himself. Still we think it one of the noblest professions on earth: the one in which the earnest. man can do the most good to his fellow man. and in which an honorable man can wield much power for good." F.

of Bellport is discerning the signs of the approach of the sere and yellow season. Here are some of them as he notes them in his Advance column: "The cricket singing on the hearth, the tired feeling that seems to have overcome our ball team; J. W. Overton's schooner warping into the dock coal laden, and the iceman and other merchants hurrying to the bank with rolls big enough to choke a herd of hippopotami." The same philosopher also sounds a note of warning to the sympathetically inclined. Here it is: "TE you have sympathy plus, don't waste it on that peanut vender merely because he may be obliged to license.

Greene, of Sayville, becomes a director in the place of William H. Mofft, of Islip, who has a fair of his own. The fair of 1911 will be managed by President Brush, Secretary Lee and Treasurer Havens, if all are alive then.

The 1910 exhibit was so that the members would not hear to any change. Of course, the presence of Colonel Roosevelt helped to swell the receipts of the week, but it was a good fair without the added attraction of the former President. It will probably be impossible to have a drawing card of equal potency next year, but it is a safe bet that the officers will do something to make the exhibition well worth attending. and if they retain their influence with the weather man, the fair will probably be correspondingly successful. Allowance must be made for a considerable growth in the fair-going population between the present time and next September.

Suffolk County is bound to receive a lot of valuable advertising, and that will help its growth. A five-line news item In a Riverhead paper tells of the death on Wednesday, September 14, of Mrs. Hannah Larned, aged 83 years. Thirty-odd years ago. Mrs.
