JAMAICA HASJ ROMANCE It Involves Mariage of Mr. and Mrs. Tonner. Young People Stole Off to Greenwich, on June 27 Kept Their Joy ous Secret Until July 4. In the Eagle to-day appears a notice of the marriage, on June 27, of Minnie Wilkening, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. L. H. Wilkening, of Liberty avenue, near Grand street, Jamaica, to George R. Touner.

News of the wedding, when It leaked out, was as much a surprise to the young woman's parents as to the nu merous friends of the bride, who kept the telephone at her home busy all yesterday In quest of more particulars. Mr. Tonner, who is 26, Is an Englishman by birth. He is manager of the Liberty Steam Laundry.a business owned by his bride's father. He boarded with tbe Wilkening family, and was highly regarded by them, although it was not suspected that be had fallen a victim to the charms of his employer's daughter, Minnie, who is 23 and pretty.

The young couple, it was lirned, had been secretly engaged for two months prior to their marriage. When an Eagle reporter called at the Wilkening home, last evening, to question Mrs. Tonner, and lc.im the particulars of the romantic marriage, he found the young bride rather reluctant to give out tho facts. She told the story, however, finally, amid blushes. It seems the couple had learned that Connecticut is the only nearby state where people on matrimony bent could most easily have the knot tied, and late in the afternoon of June 27 Miss Wilkening and Mr.

Tonner hired an automobile and Btarted out for Greenwich, Coun. On the way. in Manhattan, they picked un a friend. Mrs. M.

Johnson. Arrived at Greenwich, the party was directed to the home of the Rev. William B. Waler, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The married them in the presence of Mrs.

Johnson and Mrs. Waler, wife of the Then VIr. and Mrs. Tonner returned to Manhattan, bad supper, and motored back to Jamaica. They told no one of the marriage until July 4, when the young woman's parents were let into tho ae-cret.

They promptly gave their blessing. Mr. and Mrs. Tonner are bulldiug a home in Holllswocds, and there they will live in a few months. YOUNG HINTS AT TROUBLE If His Liquor License Is Forfeited, He Will Do Things.

There Are Eestrictions Against Other Things Than Liquor Selling in Sea Cliff Deeds, He Says. (Special to The Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. July 8 This village is eagerly watching the outcome of the attempt to uphold the restriction placed in the deeds of nearly all the property conveyed here, prohibiting the use of the land for the sale of liquor in any form. The case comes up In Brooklyn on Tuesday, and while those who are upholding the liquor Interests are in the minority they do not mean to give up without a struggle. L.

M. Young, the only business man on whom papers have been served in this suit, Is prepared to fight to keep his license. Mr. Young claims that he is maintaining an orderly place, living up to the law, and that his business Is a help rather than a detriment, to the vil lage. While he bears no ill-will against those who have signed the petition for tho upholding of the restrictions, Mr.

Young said very emphatically to an Eagle reporter recently: If the restriction prohibiting the Bale of liquor is upheld and I am obliged to forfeit the money which I paid for my license, I shall take steps immediately to enforce every other restriction placed in those deeds. While it seems ridiculous to prohibit some of the things restricted. it must not be said that exceptions were made, and It will be my business, after the smoke of this battle has cleared away, if tho liquor restriction stands, to see that all the others are upheld." Mr. Young drew attention to the fact that while there were fully 8,000 visitors In the village during the Fourth of July holiday, there was not, so far as can be learned, a hint of rowdyism, and that nobody could be found who saw a drunken person anywhere near the shore on that day. Mr.

Young further asserts that all cases of rowdyism in the past have been traceable to residents in the vicinity rcther than to Btrangers. GIVES VAMPS A GOOD TIME.

The police of the Glendale station were notified, and took charge of the body which was in such an advanced stage decomposition that it could not be re moved in the patrol wagon.

A postal card was found on the body, addressed to the dead man, and this led to tbe lden tlficatlon of the corpse by a daughter, Louisa, aged 15 years, who was sent to the Glendale police station by her mothe: after the latter had been Informed by an Eagle reporter of the discovery of the suicide. She identified the post card and a hand kerchief as belonging to her father. The little girl told the police that hei father had left home Wednesday morning, In search of work.

WILL INVITE ROOSEVELT. Sea Cliff Separate Company Hopes to Be Reviewed and Addressed by Ex-President. (Special to The Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. July 9 Because Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was not able to visit here on July 4 and review tbe Sea Cliff Separate Company, and because the Colonel expressed bis regret at his in ability to accept the Invitation, there Is a strong hope that Borne time during the summer arrangements can be made whereby he will come here, review the company and perhaps talk to the sol diers for a short time. The plan to ask Colonel Roosevelt to set a date at which he might confer this honor on the company, which was the only military organisation to welcome him home to Oyster Bay, Is still In itB but there is no doubt but that it will be carried out.

In order that Colonel Roosevelt may not have to Bend regrets a second time no invitation will be sent for any given date, but a suggestion will be made that a visit from him will be very highly appreciated by the company if It can be arranged to suit his pleasure and convenience. The organization Is one which reflects credit not only on Its home vlllaae. hut on the entire town of Oyster Bay, for the progress It has made and the good work it Is doing In the line of teaching the young men dlscinllne and obedience. There Is small doubt but that Colonel Roosevelt could bring a message to these young men which would be of lasting help ana Denent to tnem, not only In their career as military men, but in their lives as good citizens, and It Is earnestly hoped by all who are Interested In them and this practically Includes the entire villagethat he will be willing to make the opportunity.

DEFOREST ONE SPEAKEk Declares Conditions in Manhattan Better Than in Other Cities Admits Need of Improvement. (Special to The Eagle.) Stony Brook. L. July 9This morning's session of the Stony Brook Association was taken up. under the chairmanship of Professor Jenks, In the discussion of the question, "The Housing Problem." The main address was made by Robert W.

de Forest, president of the Charities Organization Society, whose Interesting talk was supplemented by a brief talk by Lawrence Vell-ler, director of the National Housing Association, an organization formed last winter. William R. Willcox, chairman of the Public Service Commission of the First District, was unable to be present. Mr. De Forest began by saying that, while the very serious conditions of housing in New York could be Improved, they were less intolerable there than In Philadelphia, Boston and other cities, bo-cause the water supply and the sewerage systems In those cities were not so good as In the metropolis.

He declared that he had become somewhat impatient at nearing so much about the intolerable conditions among the poor and also Impatient with the current loose talk about what is and what can be done. He said that rents were increasing, and this was because people cannot have accommodations for which the new law calls without paying for them. Indeed, he said, you cannot have anything without paying for it. This problem of Increased cost of living apart ments we nave got to face, and face it not only in the cities, but In the sub urban towns as well. This increased cost of living naturally implies a higher aiauaaro oi lite, and this affects all classes of people.

Workingmen are able to live twice as well now as they could twenty years ago, and in some instances It is not so much a question of congestion as It is one of race. In Brooklyn the housing conditions are worse than they are in Manhattan. Decause of the distances. It is also a question whether the workingmen and women in tne sweatshops and they exist in lower Fifth avenue. In Manhnttan.

He can- not anord it. the most Important thing to make dispersion possible Is more rapid transit at the lowe3t possible rates of fare.

The poorest workingman must, nowever, live in a New York tenement. He cannot help himself, and this Is trt-w. more particularly, of the new arrivals.V Air. ue Forect dwelt for some time upon the Improved sanitary conditions over those of fortv vears nen. i-itini.

Instances the absence of bathrooms and water supply from mansions in what were then known as the wealthy parts of the city. Even Yale University had but two bathrooms in the 70s, and they were situated In the basement adjoining the gymnasium. In speaking of this to former President Dwlght of Yale, the latter reminded him that twenty years prior to that time there were no bathrooms at all. and the students had to draw their water from the college pump and carry it to their rooms. When a colored man was finally hired it was done through a vote cast by one man.

the older professors opposing it on the ground that it would cause the students to develop luxurious habits.

Tent City, below Seaside, at Rockaway Beach, Is now In full swing, and th.i 1,500 or more camp dwellers are enjoying life to the utmost. Every tent has been taken and there Is a long waiting list of persons who desire to pass part of the summer under canvas. The life lived during the heated term by the tent dwellers Is one of bliss, such things as dressing up in different clothes a few times a day being entirely Ignored, while housework is simplified to a degree that makes it almost play.

No such thing as worrl-ment ever enters the mind of the camper, the sole object for the summer being to live the simple life, as near to nature as possible; Many of them live in bathing suits the greater part of the time, thereby feeling comfortable In the hottest days, while dips in the surf two or three times a day keep them in excellent health and spirits. This mode of living causes "the camper to put on a coat of tan that is almost irremovable and gives him a step that is elastic. The camp outfit is simple, a cot or two, an oil Btove, Icebox, table and some chairs, with a limited amount of dishes completes the furnishings. Of course, there are some camps which are lavishly furnished, fine rugs being on the floors, brass bedsteads, wardrobes and other furniture; but the average camper contents himself with getting along on as little In the line of furnishings as pos-blble, so that he can get the full enjoyment of his vacation period. Camp Pavilion Formally Opened.

Last night the formal opening of the camp pavilion took place and nearly every one of the campers took part in the festivities, which lasted until after midnight. The pavilion was prettily decorated with flags and bunting, and the light, airy costumeB of the young women lent an added charni to the scene. There was a prize waltz, in which many of th? campers toolc part, and pretty prizes were awarded to the winners. Hereafter dances will be given in the pavilion every Saturday evening. Beglnnlng next Sunday evening, the iogular concerts will be resumed.

These concerts have been very popular during the last two summers and have attracted crowds from the hotels and cottages all over the beach. On the evening of the Fourth, the campers had a treat In the form of a two hours display of fireworks, while a Dana concert added to the pleasures. Mu sic for dancing was had in the pavilion and the young folk as well as their elders enjoyed it immensely. William Kaplan's Death Deplored by- Campers. The campers miss one of the most ac-jtlve workers in the line of gettiug up entertainments and amusements of vari ous kinds this season.

He William Kaplan, who died last winter. Mr. Kaplan was the prime mover of the Mardi Gras at Tent City and was ever active in preparing for different events taking place during the season, and his absence from the scene is felt by all. Another worker who will probably not bs In camp this season is William Oeisel-berg, better known in the city of canvas as the "police commissioner" because he maintained two green lamps In front of his camp in past seasons. Mr.

Gelselberg has not decided whether he will be in camp or not this summer. Police Lieutenant Klernan of Manhattan and family are again taking life easy in camp. Their camp is one cf the prettiest In Tent City and is located in the section known as "Fifth avenue," because of Its many pretty camps. The lieutenant had a concrete walk laid around his camp and has a fine flower garden, with numerous blooming plants. Mr.

and Mrs. H. M. C. Brown and family of Brooklyn are located in Camp Buster for the rest of the stammer.

Camp Buster la In the first row of tents, facing the ocean, and Mrs. Brown has prayed berself a charming hostess on many an occasion. The Union Club of Arlington, N. is the name of half a dozen bachelors who are occupying a camp In Tent City. They are cutting up all sorts of capers, and the young women are said to be paying much attention to them.

Deputy Tax Commissioner Wentz of Brooklyn and his Interesting family are at their old camp, and the commissioner continues to smile as of yore. Among the Brooklynltes who hivo their families in camp are Frank Keller, Harry Keeler and J. A. Scheppard, each of whom takes great pride In decorating the front of their camp with sea shells. Charles Bales of the Department of Buildings In Queens Is another enthusi-; astlo camper, and he enjoys his daily plunge in the surf like a two-year-old.

Fishing parties are numerous from the camp, and while fluke are so plentiful in Jamaica Bay, many fish dinners are noticeable. SHELTER ISLAND ARRIVALS.

HIS FRIENDS ACTIVE, HOWEVER May Be No Vacancy for a Long Time, and Possibly None at All. Coupled with the rumors that the Queens County Grand Jury, which has been Investigating the graft situation In Queens, will on next Wednesday hand up Indictments affecting the very administration of affairs in the borough, yesterday came Increased activity on tho part of those who think they might fit Into the borough presidency if a vacancy should occur in that office. Among those who have gone into the situation with the most assurance Is Joseph Cassldy, the ex-president and ex-boBs of the Demo cratic party. CoBsldy, when approached on the subject by newspaper men, had no comment to make, except to say that the weather was warm and other things were getting warmer. But the activity of himself and his lieutenants In their efforts to corral some of tho five members of the Board of Aldermen from Queens, who will have the power to select a borough president, Bhould a vacancy occur, could not be concealed.

On Friday Cas sldy was at Miller's Hotel In Long sland City, surrounded by all his former workers from the First Assembly District with the exception of former Sena tor Luke K. Keenan. To Whom Cassidy Turns for Support. The Cassldy men are relying on the support of Alderman August Dujat, who was the only man nominated and elected by Cassidy at the last election. They are, too, making strenuouB efforts to at tach to their side Alderman Daniel Ehnt holt of the Long Island City District.

He was nominated by tho Republicans, and indorsed by the Gresser Democrats and the Independence League. Through strong Influences in the Department of Taxes and Assessments the Cassldy men expect to be able to hold Ehntholt to their side. Another man at whom the Cassidy people are making eyes Is Alderman Edward Brady of Far Rockaway, and there is a belief in certain quarters that Cassldy has more hopes of winning Brady than he has of holding Dujat or winning Ehntholt. What was considered the most striking onSrmation of rumors rife in the bor ough was given yesterday afternoon in a publication In the Long Island City Star, tho personal orgun of President Gresser. In a leading article this paper not only Intimated that the rumors ot Indictments were true, but it called for suspension of judgment and it also outlined what is the plan' of Presldeiu Gresser, should an Indictment against him be returned.

It was evident from this article, which had all the earmarks of inspiration from Borough Hall, that President Gresser will not resign nor relinquish the discharge of his duties as borough president until after his case had been tried by a trial Jury, should be be indicted, and he confidently expects in that event that he will be acquitted. The Star Bays In part: People Urged to Avoid Snap Judg ment. 'The air teems to-day with reports that Borough President Gresser has been Indicted by the Grand Jury. When he Grand Jury makes Its report then people will receive actual and positive information and not before. In the meantime, there should be a suspension of Judgment throughout the borough.

It should be remembered that the findings of a Grand Jury are not always sustained when an issue that they have passed upon comes before tho trial jury. Tne person Indicted has no chance to present his side of the case. He must wait un til the trial Jury is convened before be can be heard. It should not be forgotten, too, that Mayor Gaynor hesitated for some time before he forwarded the r3-port of Commissioner FosJick whl formed the basis of the accusations against Borough President Gresser to the Grand Jury Bitting in Queens. Commissioner Fosdick is Bomethlng of a Grand Jury ali by himself.

He examines ac counts, draws conclusions, and then proceeds to arraign persons whom he de clares are guilty of wrongdoing. Borough President Gresser happens to be the oh- ect lust now of Commissioner FoBdick peculiar methods of personal fleductlon. From this statement of the Star the belief became general that there would be no vacancy in the borough presidency until after Borough President Gresser had his trial before a trial jury. It he is called unon to make any defense. Such a trial could not be had before the September term of court at the very earliest, and it might be held ever until the win ter months.

Among those who are being mentioned as possible candidates In the event of dennev are James A. MacDonaia or Flushing. School Commissioner Runert B. Thomas of that place. John Adlkes of Jamaica, Marion J.

Verdery ot Fiusn- ng. former County Treasurer Joseph Dykes, former County Clerk D. L. Van Nostrand and Attorney John E. Van Nostrund of Elmhurst.
