It Is a most Important matter to the publishers and the public alike, for it deals principally with whether or not the publishers are to have the "fat takes" of publishing tax sales notices reduced, removed altogether, or allowed to remain as at present. "Wo are fighting for our rights," say several of the editors. "There Is no more reason or Justice for the lawyers to butt Into this bus ness of ours than for our organization to start a campaign protesting against the lawyers putting In their bills of costs in foreclosure of mortgage proceeds a $30 charge for trial fee." Incidentally tha editors are guests of Francis Hoag, editor of the Sayvllle News and are en' -ylng his hospitality as well as participating In serious business.

The other was the offer of $10,000 for the property by the Cap Tree Island Realty Company.

Tho first named concern is understood to bo identical with the men who are associated with Mr. Ingraham in the effort to secure the property this year. The other concern, which entered its petition at the eleventh hour and which petition was almost a verbatim copy of that entered by the other concern, was composed of Isllp people.

Several other places were also visited by the burglars, but no cash taken from any of them. After completing their work In the eastern villages, three men drove to Riverhead and took the 6:49 out of this station. Evidently the first place entered by the gang was at the Soutfcold postofflce.

It will accommodate 320 ward patients, 32 private patients, 46 male help, 58 female help and 31 sisters. The hos tion was first filed, It was believed that it would be carried easily. Since then unexpected opposition has developed. Practically all the opposition binges upon the validity of the leases upon the property. Cap Tree Island lies west of Fire Island Beach, and the portion within Islip town contains over 700 acres.

Ingraham claims to control leases, moBt of which have over fifty years yet to run. The leases at present bring in about $130 to the town each year. If the leases could be proven invalid, there Is a strong possibility that the proposition would be snowed under. Although there has been considerable effort made to have tho matter of the leases looked Into by an attorney, this has not been done officially. Eugene Leuthlioon alleges that five prominent attorneys have declared the leases to bo invalid.

R. A. Bachia, a Manhattan manutacturer, who has a residence in Bay Shore, claims that his legal advisors state'i that tho town trustees, who grant the leases, bavo Dot the power to grant leases for a term ex pital will be composed of ten connecting parts.

The marriage of Miss Margaret T. Fox, daughter of Mrs. Mary A. B'ox of 33 Cut-lur street, Worcester, to William B. Nallen of Long Island City was solemnized today In St.

Stephen's Church In Worcester. The ceremony took place with a nuptial masB, at 9 o'clock, at which the Rev. Father McLaughlin, paa-lor of St. Stephen's, was celebrant. The bride was given away by her mother.

She was attended by her sister, Miss Josephine Fox, as maid of honor, and the best man waB Bernard Timoney of Long Island City. Following the ceremony there was a reception at the home of tho bride's mother, and then the bride and bridegroom left on a wedding tour. On their return they will reside at 369 population especially tnc feminine clement. Those who were in favor of mixing "liquid Joy" with dry amusmcnts did not vote for the sale of liquors so that members could go to the club and drink to satiety. Neither was the proposition advanced to attract greater numbers to tho club.

The ostensible purpose of the advocates to bring about the salo of liquor at the club was to raise revenue to defray expenses and place the club In a prosperous condition. As told in The Eagle, the club, since Its organization, eleven years ago, has been a "teetotal" organization. It has managed to exist and has steadily growu in membership and importance. The treasurer's report showed that thero was a deficit of $37.00 in the treasury, but this depletion of the club's funds is due In a large measure to the payment' of $600 on tho mortgage. Several hundred dollars aro still due on a second mortgage, according to an active member.

Vote Not Large Enough to Change Constitution. These conditions brought about a decision on the part of somo of the prominent members to adopt some schema to- raise revenue and the "liquor" Idea seemed to be a good one. Tho matter became one of such magnitude that thu board of governors by resolution called for an open meeting held Saturday evening, last, 130 members responded to Invitations to he present. The entire gathering voted. The proposition called for a vote to change the constitution to classic design, seating about 250 persons, a large operating room and a pathological laboratory in the top story ovor the ward section.

The service building is to consist of a stable, an engine and boiler room, and a laundry fronting on Elm street. All coal, supplies, will bo delivered on this side without disturbing the hospital por Patchogue. L. November 20 Constable Charles Warren, of Patchogue received a good-slued reward Saturday night for good work recovering a $1,000 diamond pendant, lost scar Patchogue last Decoration Day. The pendant belonged to Mrs.

Walter Franklin, wife of a silk manufacturer of New York. With her husband, Mrs. Franklin was in Patchogue on May 30. After dining at a roadnouse near this place she missed the valuable pendant, which was attached to a chain around her neck. A diligent seach was made.

The loss was advertised extensively and every effort was made to locate it. Her husband had the pawnshops in New York searched. The local officers had also made a search for the article, but It was not until a lew days ago that Constable Warren got the first clew. He overheard one of the lace mill operatives, a girl, telling about a beautiful diamond that her chum had just received as a present from a city friend. The description of the jewel tallied with the lost Franklin article.

The officer made a quiet investigation, with the result that Mr. came out here Saturday afternoon and after consultation with Justice Green and Lawyer A. O. Blue, a search warrant was issued. A careful search of the young woman's apartments was made, but without avail.

Finally the young woman was served with a John Doe subpena and when brought, to court confessed that she had the missing pendant, explaining that she picked it up on May 30 off tho floor of the roadnouse at which the Franklins had dined. She confessed that she had made no attempt to find tho owner, but evidently felt guilty, as she never wore the diamonds upon any occasion. Accompanied by tuo officers, she went home, took tho jewel from its hiding place, and handed it over. WORK ON L. I.

LEBHERTZ YOHN. Westhampton, Beach, L. November Steal Horse and Wagon to Go to Next Job. They then stole a horse aud wagon from Prank Smith, a farmer, and drove lo Mattituck. There the postofflce safe was dynamited in approved style.

The men burst in the front door of the office a Jimmy, "doped" the sate, muffled it with two horse blankets and an overcoat, and blew the door completely off the safe. Postmaster Henry P. Tuthill says they took about $60 In Btamps. He had left no money In the safe because, as he said, ho "believed burglars were about due in that office again." They have in the past made periodical raids, and as they had been operating of late in other Long Island offices, he thought they might strike Mattituck soon. His judgment was good and It saved him a lot of money.

From that Job the burglars went to the canning company's office. Evidently the dynamite had given out and the men tried to get into the safe by hammering off the combination and on the door. They were unsuccessful. Then the men drove to Riverhead and Jctt the wagon under the shed of Edwin H. Howell, formerly of Brooklyn.

He found it early this morning and reported it to Sheriff Piatt. At 4:30 this morning three men were seen walking up the track to the depot. Janitor Adams of ths-High Scnool met them and spoke to them. They would not reply, but passed on. It was more convenient for them to walk, up the track after leaving the horse under Mr.

Howell's shed than to go by the. sidewalk. They were unable to buy tickets and paid cash fare on the 'train. Sheriff Piatt was not notified of the robberies until after the train had got Into Jamaica, bo he could not apprehend them on the train. It Is believe! the men were In Mattituck at 2 o'clock, for Mrs.

Cox, who lives near, thinks she heard a muffled report at that time. This is the -third time In two years that the Southold office has been entered. Two new safes have been bought as the result of their visits. Twice In two years naa the Mattituck postmaster had to buy a new safe because of burglars. The burglars aro undoubtedly the same ones that have operated before in this section and other Long Island places.

They always steal a horse to make their escape, and always drive to a nearby station to tako an early train. They are very familiar with the habits of people in the village, and with train schedules. Detectives have been working on the cases some time, but without result. It 1s believed they were frightened away Irom the Southold office before they had time to crack the safe there last night. Late this forenoon the money boxes laken from the Mattituck safe and some opened registered letters were found under the Episcopal church horse shed iot.

far from the postofflce. One of these letters had contained a Long Island Railroad trip ticket book issued in the name of Wood Wickham. If they try to use this it may lead to their capture.

The station will Include five separate buildings, the main the Editors. The Bar Association has adopted resolutions favoring many changes In the law.

Most of these are detrimental to the pocketbookB of the publishers, so naturally they are fighting. Some of tho proposed changes are considered sensible by the publishers, even though they, too, hit the pocketbook, and the editors will not oppose their enactment. Under the existing law all asssesscd property on which taxes are not paid should be sold for taxes tbo following year. On some lots the tax Is as low as 8 cents. To comply with the law such lot should be Included in the sale.

The proposed act, sent out this week by the Bar Association committee, would prevent tho sale of any piece of property until the taxes amount to $2. This plan would remove thousands of lots from the sale for many years to come, would thusly reduce tho publishers fees and hence the publishers will fight that provision. Section 2 provides for the advertisement of each town's tax property in that town. This will be opposed by some publishers for most of the "boom lots" are In a few towns and thus tho publishers in those towns would get a big tax sale every year while the Dubllshers In towns having no boom property would get practically nothing. Now the sale notices are alternated, two papers being designated each year' by tho supervisors to publish tho entire sale.

This year ejich paper got neurly $13,000. Lawyers Would Also Force Lower Legal Bate for Publishing. Section 2 also provides that the legal rate shall be 40 cents per folio for the firBt Insertion and 15 cents per folio for the subsequent five Insertions. This proposition will be rejected by the publishers. The rate now is the regular legal rate for all notices, 75 cents per folio for first insertion and 60 cents per folio for the others.

At first the Bar Association suggested 10 cents a folio; then 25 cents and 15 cents and late last week it raised It to 40 cents and 15 cents. These and many other tax sale matters the publishers are expected to consider, and in the end it Is believed a committee will be named to meet with the Bar Association committee and the Supervisors committee here on Wednesday to thrash over the muddle some more. It Is believed also that the publishers will send or bring an ultimatum as to what they will acept in the way of reform without fighting and what they will not accept. "We feel that we are as broad-minded and do as much for the public without pay as the lawyers, so we feel that we are capable of drafting our own bills In this matter," said one publisher, speaking In an emphatic manner. In Interviews Mr.

Housel has said there should be a special provision for Suffolk County that all property bid In by the county need not be advertised and sold again until redeemed by or sold to an individual. An Eagle reporter has interviewed a number of publishers and citizens not interested in newspapers, and it is found there is a disposition to urge such a change. Should this be done It would quickly clean the tax sale slate, and the heavy expense would soon be over. Courts and Lawyers Responsible for Heavy Costs, Say Some. "The main trouble in this 'burdensome tax salo Is with the lawyers and courts themselves," said one publisher.

"To my mind courts really are aiding tire lot boomers to escape just taxation, and the lawyers are helping along. If the lawyers really want to save Suffolk from 'becoming bankrupt' through the tax sale proposition why don't they refuse to take the tax sale cases to court? If the courts want to help why do they upset every tax sale deed and assessment on the slightest technicality? "Here's the situation: John Smith owns several thousand lots which he Is trying to sell for from $10 to $50 a lot. He is taxed, say $500, on the collection. An affidavit or a seal may be left off one book In a collection of town books comprising that town's roll; or the tax may be on the wrong line; or there may bo two seals when there should be but one; or some other trivial technicality may arise. What is done? John hires a Suffolk County lawyer to protest and the result is that the tax is declared illegal and he pays not the $500.

And there are many John Smiths equally taxed and year after year they get off equally as easy. "Now, If-the courts were more severe with these 'tax and made them understand that the taxes must be paid or their properties would be sold, I don't believe the county would long have to tear a 'tax sale The keynote of the situation seems to be Irom many interviews to get a valid assessment, have courts refuse to upset on technicalities, and have the county exempted from readvertising the, property it bids in, and leave rate and manner of publication as it la. Some of the publishers have declared that If the lawyers insist upon butting in and pushing the proposed act, they, the publishers, will take tho matter to i make their residence here.

The town may also receive taxes based upon an assessment of $35,000. This will add $300 to the annual revenue. When the filling in Is completed, the property may be assessed at $125,000 more, making the amount of taxes $1,800 perear.

Under the leases, the maximum amount the leases will bring the town, will be $400 a year. The developers claim that within five years at least 600 cottages, each costing $1,600 or more will be erected, making the assessed valuation afcout half a million. "It Is reasonabe to assume," says Ingraham. "that within ten years, the return to the town from this tract of meadow and marsh, will be not less than $15,000 annually." A Plea to the Voters. The town is being covered with dodgers, which with a maximum of bold faced type and "astonishers," attack the proposition.

The dodger reads (shorn of the big type and some of the exclamation points): "Voters awake! Cap Tree Island Is your! it is said to contain 700 acres, but thero is no survey! There may be 1,700 acres!
