You had better arbitrate this matter, and 1 am sure Mr. Lynam, Mr. Parrin and myself can act as a board of arbitration." "Dr.

Rauscher will be our board of ar bitration, If we want one," observed Dea con 'Backnumber" Budd. "We will dispossess them others If It costs us Sioo," said Deacon Burrell.

Meadows in Brooklyn antf Queens, Where Pe9ts Breed, to Be Drained. OWNERS URGEDTO CO-OPERATE Health Depaartment and Civic Bodies Are Working Aggressively, but Find Task a Difficult One. The Department of Health, In co-operation with the various civic and business associations and many private property owners, Is waging a relentless war upon the mosquito pest in Brooklyn and Queens. Its principal work has been In locating the 13,000 to 14,000 acres of inland pools and salt meadows in the two boroughs and inducing the owners at their own expense, or where that cannot be done, with the assistance of city funds and the help of enterprising business and civic organizations, to ditch and drain their meadows and to oil their ponds. Where the owners neglect or refuse to act, orders are served upon them requiring them tn nnnenr in court in answer rges agalnBt them.

One of the difflcutles In carrying out the work thoroughly is in getting the names of the owners in order to serve legal notice on them. Total Area Drained 4,595 Acres. "fhe total area drained to December 31 was 4,595 acres; area represented by 1911 orders, 1,270 acres; area not covered by orders, Including Far Rockaway meadows, 3,372 acres. In the Borough of Brooklyn twelve orders have been Issued for the Canarsle meadows. The area covered by these orders is 313 acres; not covered by orders In this borough, 3,687 acres.

The officials say that where the work has been done thoroughly the results are entirely satisfactory, but It must be kept tin "If n.n i. no KCl lnH co-operation or the civic associations," it was Baid today, "their time and money, the pest could be completely eradicated. To do this work, as it should be done there should be a large force employed for a time.

It Is said to be of remarkable effectiveness. The old range in Noyao Bay will be continued and experiments conducted from the gunbarge E. W. Bliss, as has been done for a number of years past.

The extension of effectiveness of the new engines of warfare have necessi tated less circumscribed waters than landlocked Noyac Bay. The torpedo will be fired from a point off Long Beach Lighthouse at a target located near Three Mile Harbor, five and one- half miles distant from the starting point. To recover and match the course of the trials the torpedo boat destroyer Philip Morris will be present at all tests.

Quit Corresponding When They Find He Is Not a Land Owner. i HE HAS ONE CHANCE LEFT. It's a Brooklyn Widow Frankrj Tells Him She Does Not Want Land or Money. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L.

July 19 With bis Ideals of the unselfishness of womankind rudely shattered, Henry F. Jackson, the Fair around widower, who has been mak- Ing known his desire for a helpmate, has retired Badly to his apartment In Lowndes avenue to think over the events of the past few days, and their unmistakable meaning. His experience in that short time has Included a correspondence with some Jlxty women, who answered his advertise ment, but it has all brought him to th conclusion that all women are fortune hunters, and that a poor man has no show In trying to win their affections. Mr. Jackson is not dissatisfied with ths advertising Its value is apparent to him but he made a mistake, he says, In wording the advertisement, In that he Included the statement that he had a good home, meaning, of course, the comfortable apartment for which he pays a.

monthly rent. That phrase proved his undoing, for In the applications he received It was evident that the writer took It for granted that the lonely widower was a property owner and that was their motive in responding. Tho answers to the advertisement cams In such numbers that Mr. Jackson grew" ovtrconfldent, and deigned to reply to only about a dozen of them. In his replies he was careful to explain that be was not a property owner and rather emphasized the suggestion that the prospective bride should be able to "help along" a little.

And, would you believ it? Not a word has he heard further from any of the applicants. Disconsolate over the attitude of those, of whom one, he thought, would prove bis affinity, Mr. Jackson has thrown the whole bundle of letters In the fire and resolved to wait a while before he acts further. But wait! There is one chance yet, for of the number there was one Brooklyn widow who wrote to him, saying she) did not care about the home, and to this straw, the would-be bridegroom Is clinging In his disappointment. She has Invited him to visit her In Brooklyn, where she lives with her mar-ried daughter, and for this visit Jackson is planning eagerly.

"There is still the one chance," be says, "and, after all, I only want one woman." Mr. Jackson smiled in a reflective sort of way when he told a reporter yesterday about a letter he had received from a Philadelphia woman. She said she had ft small Income, and she thought by putting their two incomes together they could get along. She was so sure of it that she wasted him to come to Philadelphia, to see her. "I wrote her," he said, "that I had no money to spend on a trip to Philadel-; phia, and that If she wanted to see ms she would have to send me the money for the trip." He added that he dldnt think she would send the money, but might come on herself.

Mr. Jackson is Inclined to think his efforts In a matrimonial line have been given too much publicity, but he Is good-natured about it and talks freely of his plans. He is still hopeful, in spite of his exoerlences. and believes ihe woman Is waiting who will make htm happy for the rest ot his days. LONG I MATTITUCK IS POPULAR.

R. Holdings in North Hempstead, He Says, Should Be As Eessed at $25,000 Per Mile. (Special to The Eagle llineola, July 19 The annual meeting of the State Tax Commission and the assessors from the three Nassau townships Oyster Bay, Hempstead and North Hempstead was held here yesterday, with the county board of supervisors present. The state board was represented by Commissioner Thomas Burns and Secretary of the Commission Weede. The commissioner made various recommendations to the assessors and Impressed upon them the fact that property In Nassau County Is not assessed highly enough.

He said the rapid increase In values was not duly considered. S. J. Peacock of the New York and Long Island Traction Company appeared before the board and asked that the franchise tax on the Rockaway road be abrogated, on the ground that it was a private right of way. The assessors did not take this view of the matter, and the commissioner thought it was a question for the courts to decide.

Commissioner Burns told the assessors from the town of North Hempstead that they were not taxing the Long Island Railroad highly enough. The tax is now $6 000 per mile of road, and the commissioner thought that, as it costs $25,000 to construct a mile of road under the most favorable conditions and $100,000 under the most adverse, the assessors should tax the road at least $25,000 per mile of track. The assessors from Hempstead were told that the former Belmont Hospital In the village of Hempstead ought to be assessed and taxed. Inasmuch as this was formerly under the class of property which came under the head of religious and charitable institutions, it was exempt. It is now closed and no longer comes in that category.

It is owned by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, and it was suggested that this property be assessed Immediately, The commissioner went over the books of the assessors very carefully and gave a brief talk to the members of the board on their duties.
