GYPSIES ARE UNPOPULAR. Ordered to Move On From Patchogue, Huntington and Other Towns.

Patchogue, L. July 20 Bands of gypBy fortune tollers have invaded nearly every village out on Long Island this summer. A favorite stopping place for the nomads has been the grove at the East Lake, near Patchogue. So much complaint has been made that every gang that arrives is now given the "move on" signal by the officers. For several summers In the past few-years a gypsy fortune teller has pitched her tent right In the heart of the colony of summer cottagers on Ocean avenue.

He Has Other Serious Injuries, Sus tained When Hit by Car Driven by Brooklyn Woman. Father Kinselman, it wa3 said at the hospital this noon.

Is in a very serious condition. His skull 13 fractured and he has severe Internal injuries. is feared he will not recover. There have beeu many at the hospital to-day, including priests from all parts of the diocese and personal friends from among the laity, all anxious to leirn the latest news In regard to the beloved divine's condition. The Rev.

Thomas HanGelman, rector of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Jamaica, was severely injured last night when he was struck by an automobile on Hillside avenue, near Bay street, Jamaica. The car which struck the priest waB owned and driven by Mrs. Anna M. Bauer of 240 St.

Nicholas avenue, Brooklyn. Father Hanselman sustained a dislocated left hip, a fracture of several ribB, a possible fracture of the skull and painful lacerations and contusions of the face and body. He Is now in St. Mary's In a critical condition. Father Hanselman was driving a small runabout automobile eastwardly along Hillside avenue.

It was dusk and the priest decided he would light his lamp. Then he discovered that he had lost the lamp. The occupants of another car, go-' ing in the same direction as Father Ran-selman, and immediately behind him, noticed his loss and found the lamp in the roadway. They picked it up and called to him that they had It. Father Hanselman stopped his machine and turned around, saying: "Thank you very much.

I'll get out and fetch the lamp." Jui.iping from his car, the priest walked toward the other auto. He did not see the Bauer automobile coming along Hillside avenue from the east, and stepped directly In front of the westward-bound car and was struck. Mrs. Bauer, who had several children with her in her machine, called warn-ingly to Father Hanselman, but it w-as too late. She applied her brakes, but the heavy machine skidded and struck the priest, tossing him to one side.

Nearby residents ran to Father Han- elman's aid and an ambulance was sum-Honed from St. Mary's Hospital. Mrs. Bauer, much perturbed, hurried to the Jamaica police station and gave herself tip. She told a straightforward story, nnd her tale was verified by the policeman who soon after reached the scene and had interviewed eyewitnesses.

Mrs. Bauer was not held, as the hap-i pening was purely accidental, and it is said Father Hanselman himself declares no blame should attach to the woman.

Chief Robert Crowell of the Topograph- jcaj Bureau cf Queens is now arranging I forward the work on the tentative and final maps for the borough. There are at present sixteen field parties on duty and they will be continued. Five of these are working on street opening maps, about an equal number on monumentlng and the remainder on final traversing. In the First, Second and Fourth wards there Is great activity at the present time In street opening. This has been made necessary by the rapid building up of these sections and the necessity of the city securing title to the streets so that subsurface improvements can be made, all of which Is preparatory to the final pavement of the street and the laying of sidewalks and gutters.

The monumentlng has been proceeding rapidly In those sections of the borough where the final maps have been approved by the Board of Estimate, but this work has been temporarily suspended because the supply of these monuments has been exhausted. Bids have been opened for supplying these monuments, and the contract la now before the controller for registration. It is intended that this work shall proceed Just as soon as the new supply Is available. Statement of Work Dona Completed. 32 Final Maps Ready.

In the traversing works the engineers of the department are determining the final angles and dimensions of the streets from which the block dimensions will be determined. This work is being progressed particularly In the Second and Third wards.

It has been necessary to readopt sixteen final maps, owing to the changes made necessary by the elimination of grade crossings by the Long Island Railroad. These final maps represent a total of 17,805 acres of the borough which have been fully mapped. The sections thus completed are In the First, Second, Third and Fourth wardB. Where the final maps have been completed it is now possible to proceed with the full development of the sections. With such a fine showing by the topographical bureau all who are interested in the growth of the borough are greatly pleased.

In addition to the making of maps the bureau has been called upon to be a bureau of information concerning public improvements of all kinds made by all the town, county and village governments that were Included In the Borough of Queens at the tim datlon from the time of their organization up to the time they were Joined with the greater city.

The tract consists of 170 acres at Bay View, and includes the farms of John H. Young, Patrick Rorke, cawara rogarty, tne former country seat of Harry J.

Marrecella of Brooklyn and a piece of the Dayton property. This tract has hundreds of feet frontage on Southold Bay and likewise on Pe-conic Bay.

It rises from both bays to a hilltop, from which views in every direction maybe obtained over the fields, woods and waters of Long Island.

Tne summit is reached over fields broken by knolls and hollows, admirably suited to test the skill of the most experienced golfer. The property is most conveniently located, whether it be approached by land or sea. Motor cars coming from the west will find ready access by the old road to Bay View, and those from the east by the new road over Jockey Creek and Goose Creek bridges.

On all sides will stretch the golf links, whlje at some convenient point will be the tennlB courts. A clubhouse landing will be maintained on each bay. Bath houses also will be maintained on both beaches.

I. July 20 Charles Francis Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, is enjoying a vacation at his summer home near here. Ha arrived early last month, and, except for an occasional villi to Albany, will remain with his family throughout the entire summer. A reporter for The Eagle called at the Murphy place yesterday afternoon and found the Democratic leader in his shirt sleeves, with golf stick in band, Just finishing a Bomewhat exciting game with a few friends. His visitors, who were Judge Buen and Mr.

McAllerney. were good losers to Mr. Murphy, aud evidently were enraptured with his beautiful home and the surrounding country. Mr. Murphy does not like to talk of anything but hi3 vacation plans.

He made that plain yesterday atternoou, and it was evident that he meant to be firm in his resolution to eschew politics for the time being. When asked about the prospects fo the adoption of the new city charter, pending at Albany, the Democratic leader declined to voice his opinions. "No politics," he said. "Not a word about politics. I'm on my vacation." Likewise was he reticent on other topics of current interest connected with his public life.

Mr. Murphy was quite talkative when asked about hia summer vacation. He has a golf course of his own on his estate and that sport takes up a large part of his time. But he does other things besides playing golf. "1 go rowing," lie said, pointing to the bay not twenty feet away, "and motoring occupies s.ome of my time.

You can almost see for yourself how 1 speud my vacation." Mr. Murphy has one of the prettiest as well as the most exclusive estates in this section. His place is about half way between Good Ground and Quogue, on what is known as Pine Neck, which stretches out Into the Shlnneeook Bay. The cottage itself is scarcely 25 feet from the water. Surrounding the house, which Is not very large, but very attractive, with red gabled roof, are extensive grounds of nearly 115 acres.

The cottage ts approached by a long private driveway leading among numerous trees and winding its way up a small hill. Mr. Murphy has a fine golf course running through the grounds and all the conveniences which add both to his oemfort and his privacy. Jn the latter respect he Is aided by several large dogs, which he. keeps on the estate continually.

Outside of hla sports and his visits to the scene of political conflict, Mr. Murphy acts the part of host many times during the week. He has visitors from all parts of the surrounding country with whom he plays a game of golf, goes motoring or takes a sail on the bay. PRINCE AND PROGRESS HELD.

The detectives working on the Wisgel murder mystery, at Queens, after running down numerous clews that all proved valueless, are now passively awaiting developments. People living near the Wiegel Hotel, where the saloonkeeper was shot to death and robbed of diamonds and money, have told the police so many conflicting stories, and many other people at Jamaica and other nearby places have, in an excess of confidence, told the sleuths so many things that "so-and-so" told them as positive factB that proved, upon Investigation, to be of no account and only Idle rumors, that the real thread of the crime has been confused. There was a rumor yesterday that a certain character, known In police circles as "Shorty Graham," whose face, it said, graces the Rogues' Gallery, was seen at the hotel on the day of the crime and that be disappeared and has not been seen since. "Shorty" Is known as a fighter, and some have asserted tha- be had -some words with the murdered saloonkeeper on the day before the crime occurred. At the hotel yesterday the occupants declared they had' never" heard of "Shorty," and the police would not discuss the matter.

The murder, It wat said, must have been the work of a dar ing band and not that of any local person. LONG ISLAND OBITUARY. Emil Koenig. Emll Koenig. for fifteen years employed as night watchman at Whltestone, died at his home, Twelfth street and Fifth avenue, that place, yesterday.

LEDERER, MANAGER. Edna Wallace Hopper, Richard Carle, Junie McCree and Other Stage Favorites in the Cast. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, Ju'y 20 Probably never before In the history of this section of Long Island has there been assembled such a galaxy of thratrloal stars as appeared at Dean York's all-star moonlight vaudeville show on the lawn of St. Patrick's Church last evening. Society people from all parts of Long Island and Greater New York showed their appreciation by coming out in throngs for the event, and voiced their approval In riotous applause at the conclusion of each act.

The actors, too, entered into the spirit of the occasion, and made merry with the audience to the delight of everyone present. They appeored without make-up, and tfcj performance In every way wa3 an informal frolic of fun and music. It was through the neighborly spirit of George W. Lederer, the noted producer, tht such an affair was made possible. He has purchased a country home on the shores of Huntington Harbor, and In his friendship for Dean York volunteered to bring here some of the stars from nil his companies.

He took personal charge of all the arrangements for the production, and last night acted as stage manager, announcer and sponsor for the whole programme. The church lawn was prettily decorated uid especially arranged to accommodate he throngs of people who attended, and he capacity of the place within hearing listance of the stnge was taxed to the utmost. It. Is estimated that fuliy 1,600 people were gathered In the big semicircle, and It was an impossibility to provide -ts for all who came. Simpson opened the programme in a singing act, and she was followed by Junie McCree in character Bketcbts.

Then came Edna Wallace Hopper, and the dainty little actress quite captivated the hearts of the audience, getting many rounds of applause. She came back for an encore nncompanled by Richard Carle, described as the "Syoeset favorite." and the two were received with wild applause.
