NASSAU NEGLECTS BRIDGES Three Wooden Structures in Freeport Remain in a Bad Condition. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. August 31-Automobil1sts various parts of Long Island and from Greater New York who use the Merrick Road are greatly concerned over the apparent neglect of the county authorities in repairing icE the three wooden bridges just east of Main street.

Several promises bave been made by Supervisor Morris F. Craft to James Hanse, president of the village, that the wooden bridges would be removed and that steel and concrete bridges would take their place. Captain Hanse. felt justified in promising the people of Freeport that tho new bridges would be built without delay. "The visiting autoist as well as the Long Islander and the Freeporter in parsaid President Hanse.

"All the autoist ticular, deserves some consideration," knows 13 that these bridges are on the Merrick road, and the signs along the road inform him they are within the village limits. "What is the natural supposition and what report is made throughout the greater city and throughout other states? They think that the village 16 remiss and that the autoists are not considered in Freeport. "1 would respectfully suggest that our supervisor, Mr. Craft, get busy without delay and give Freeport this improvement. It will be the first noticeable improvement that has come in the direetion of Freeport from the county since I have been in office.

The people are paying county taxes, and I know they want these bridges torn down and proper ones built instead. In the event of our not receiving this improvement I am quite confident that the matter will be taken up with some real Freeport enthusiasm and we will show our hand." THE TRAINING SCHOOL SITE. Mr. Brennan Says Dunne's Estimate of Melville Values Is Incorrect. Editor of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Having been a subscriber to your very valuable paper for the past eighteen years, both here and in Brooklyn, I would most respectfully ask you to insert the following pertinent facts relative to the Disciplinary Training School site at Melville--also Desmond Dunne's criticisms on the Deer Park site and the proposed trolley line from the Great South Bay to the Sound.

I claim to know values in this vicinity better than any man on Long Island, having been an active carpenter, builder and real estate broker here for eighteen years and have sold more property here than all the other agents. When Mr. Dunne states that Melville property is worth $325 per acre, he is $100 per acre too high. Why should any one pay $325 an acre for property five or six miles from railroad stations when they can get all they want for $75 or $100 per acre lees alongside rallroad station, or a very short distance, say one-half mile? When the committee was appointed by Mayor Gaynor, Stephen McMahon of 15 Franklin street, Long Island City, wrote me asking what I could offer in the shape of 250 or 300 acres for $75,000. In reply I sent him a map for 270 acres at $276 per acre within one and one-half miles or less from the railroad, a large, fortable country house and out buildings in fine condition, two artesian wells producing a supply of pure spring water.

These buildings cannot be duplicated for less than $6,000. The farmer has and 18 producing from $5,000 to $6,000 crops per annum. And again, about the trolley lines: We have no grafters or wire-pullers here. We will have our trolley line in operation in due time. There never was a sale of property at Melville for $400 an acre.

I am here on the ground for eighteen years and I would know or have heard of it. If the Melvile site is finally accepted the taxpayers of the City of New York ought to know that they more" paying possibly over $100.000 than' they ought to honestly pay. And it must be distinctly understood that all credit of this exposure of this gigantic attempt to loot the taxpayers and citizens of your city is due to the brilliant, clear, honest and fearless Mr. Mitchel, President of the Board of Aldermen, of Manhattan, citizens of which should be proud of him, and if he ever seeks re-election to that or a higher poaltion he is entitled to their undivided support, for during the debate on the acceptance of this Melville site not one member of the Board of Estimate helped him, but idly listened to his appeal to save the taxpayers. Respectfully, JOHN J.

BRENNAN. Deer Park, L. Aug. 30. ITALIAN KILLED IN CAVE-IN.

Residents in the neighborhood of Madison street and Hillside avenue, in the Eastwood section of Jamaica, are up in arms over the untimely salutations of a rooster, and a tew days ago made complaint to the Board of Health. An officer who was sent to see what could be done to get the bird to postpone his sunrise jubilation till after breakfast advised the owner to observe the perch chosen by the fowl at night and just over it place some tacks, against which the noise-maker would butt his head when he arose to flap his wings and sound his cock-a-doodle-doo. The officer had gotten his tip from a poultry journal. The tacks were duly inserted as suggested, but the next morning, as the sun rose, the rooster crowed perhaps a little more lustily than before. The owner does not desire to dispose of the bird and is wondering what to do to pacify the neighborhood.

One of the nearby residents, who is of a belligerent frame of mind, says that the only way to stop a rooster from crowing is to shoot him. CABARET AT QUOGUE CLUB.

Chalmers. CLOSING PEACOCK'S LANE. Mr. Winslow Declares Colonists Are Imposing on Oyster Bay Board. Editor The Brooklyn Eagle: Your correspondent from Oyster Bay, L.

under date of August 10, In reference to matter of the closing of Peacock's lane by H. P. Davison and Harvey Murdock is either misinformed or deliberately misstates facts. The grant made in 1835 by Ralph Peacock to the town of Oyster Bay is a formal document and is on file in the town records. Not only is this a fact, but Ralph Peacock sold in subsequent years small pieces (deeds of which are on record) of his real estate, and in these deeds the boundaries are Peacock's lane, the portion of which is now closed unlawfully.

Also, this road has been open to public travel without hindrance ever since 1835 with the exception of about five years ago, when Charles Gates, presIdent of the Royal Baking Powder Company, attempted to close it, and when protested to looked into the matter and opened up the road for public travel again. The town board of Oyster Bay has some very active and vigilant members, but they are at present in the minority and realize the weakness of the present legal representative of the township to take issue even if in the right against the legal talent that such people as Davison and Murdock can employ, realizing that law is not always justice unless properly handled. It is to be hoped that the township of Oyster Bay will be placed in a proper position to have Its interests properly looked after from a legal standpoint, as the issues are very valuable to all' its citizens. Showing the conditions in which the town interests have been cared for in the past, I may only state that one of the principal highways leading from the Locust Valley station to that district is not 8 town road and is not on the map of roads of the town, although it has been traveled for 100 years, and could be closed up with just as much propriety and right as Peacock's lane has now been appropriated by parties who seize same and then say "What are you going to do about it.

on Long Island. ELECTRIFIED FARM HAS THRIFTY CROPS Dr. Olsson Believes Irrigation System at Good Ground Will Revolutionize Farming. TRIED ON STERILE GROUND. Farmers at East End Interested in Success of Crops on Judge Lynn's Place.

(Special to The Eagle.) Good Ground, L. August 31-If the efforts of Dr. Don Emilio Olsson, a practical, scientific farmer of the Argentine Republic, meet with success in this section, farming on Long Island will be entirely revolutionized and the problem of waste lands of Suffolk County, which a big one Just a at present, will be solved for all time, and that in a way most profitable to the individual farmer. Dr. Olsson has in actual operation in Good Ground an electrical irrigation farm, a system invented by himself and tried out with great success in South America, and the results he has obtained with crops in a remarkably short time are convincing to the most skeptical observer.

It was on the invitation of some of the United States Navy officials who visited his farm in the Argentine Republic, as well a8 through the instrumentality of Judge Wauhope Lynn, who summers at Good Ground, that this up-to-date farmer came to this section, and already several hundred visitors have inspected Dr. 01s- son's experimental farm, on the Pon Quogue Road, and pronounced the work not only interesting, but very instructive. Judge Lynn met the inventor in New York some time ago, and, becoming interested in his work, offered the free use 15 acres of his land on which to conduct experiments. The land was recognized by everyone who knew it as some of the poorest in the county, the soil being very sandy and lacking every vestige of moisture, but now the farm is already under coultivation, producing remarkable crops. Water Electrified for Irrigation.

The whole secret of the farm is in electrifying the water used for irrigation. This stimulates the plant life, besides giving it the moisture needed for growth. That it is a stimulant-and a good one, too--is evident. Before Dr. Olson took hold of the place one could not raise row of anything, and the spot was not used for any purpose.

Within two months after the farmer's arrival, though, most of the apparatus had been installed and crops had already been raised that astonIshed even the most optimistic observer of Dr. Olsson's work. Now the system on the Good Ground farm is so perfect that he can sit out in his little summer house, turn a valve and watch a beautiful shower of water fall on his crops, while the rest of the farm land around is drying up with drought. Work on the electrical irrigation farm began on April 15, when Dr. Olsson took hold of the 15 acres of waste land.

He cultivated about 8 acres, after clearing away the brush, trees and other obstaeles, and these now constitute his farm. The other acres will be supplied with the system in small plots, to demonstrate the farmers the practicability of the system, even for a very small farm. On the land, he has erected a tower and tank, a direct and alternating current dynamo and a water pump, all connected. The pump is over a well which he dug himself, and pumps the water up to the tower tank, from which it is drawn for the irrigation system, although the farm way also be irrigated a by water with compressed air tank. Dynamo Used to Charge Water.

In the tank Dr. Olsson has two large copper plates connected in series with the dynamo, through which an alternating current is sent, charging the water with electricity. This electricity 1s not lost by the water at all, but the chemical changes produced in the latter by the charge give the stimulation to the plants. When the water is charged, as Dr. Olsson can tell from his experimental testing tank near by, it is run through over -head pipes fitted at eight or ten foot intervals with automatic turning sprinklers.

These produce a veritable shower of electrifled water over the crops. In dry weather 8 sprinkling for a short time once a day is sumcient. Dr. Olsson claims that the crops raised with the electrical irrigation system are 50 per cent, more valuablo than ordinary crops. He says he can raise beans all ready for market Inside of thirty-seven days, while the average gain on crops of various kinds 18 fifteen days.

The difference between the results of the two le remarkable, as one can see in a visilt to the place, for the farmer keeps small crops for demonstration. Already the farmers of the vicinity have become interested. The system is cheap, and be installed at a cost of about $90 an acre. There are about twenty-five different kinds of fruits and vegetables growing on the farm now. Another interesting fact 18 that this electrified water has the effect, Dr.

Olsson says, of killing bugs and insects, and destroying other plant cuisances. SCHOONER IN TROUBLE. Beaufort, N. August 31-The schooner Fred M. Davenport, laden with steel rails, is stranded on Frying Pan Shoals and pounding hard.

Swarm of Creditors Seeking Writs of Attachment, and House Looks Like Billboard. (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. August 31-After comling from New York in May and posing all summer as a wealthy manufacturer, William J. Bauer has disappeared, taking with him his family. Mrs.

Wilmot Smith, in whose handsome residence Bauer has been living, saw a big automobile van from New York this morning being loaded up, preparatory to moving the things to New York. A few days before she had bad a summons and served on Bauer on account of complaint his failing to pay the $200 rent he owed. Mrs. Smith telephoned to the local offcers, and Constable Warren stopped the van just as it was leaving town. A man who gave his name as William S.

Westheimer and who said he represented Isaac Weil, a New York lawyer, was on the van. He produced a chattel mortgage for $1,000 on the furniture, made out about the time Bauer had come to Patchogue, and said he was taking the goods to the city in order to recover the amount of the mortgage. The document was found to be unrecorded. It was found that Bauer and his family had been away for a week. The furniture WAS sent, back to the house and unloaded.

As the news spread, other creditors began bobbing up from all sides, and there was a rush of lawyers to Justice Green's office, all seeking writs of attachment for various. claims. Bauer owed the grocer, the butcher, the confectioner, the liveryman, the newspaper boy and still others. The front of the Smit residence now presents the appearance of a bulletin board, with the numerous writs posted there. They are made out to Bauer and his wife jointly, and are answerable before Justice Green next Saturday afternoon.

Bauer came here about' the middle of May, rented a small shop at Medford, north of this town, and stated that, as manager of the Giant Junior Safety Razor Company, a closed corporation, he was going to turn out goods to the amount of many thousands of dollars a year, for which he has a foreign market. He had trouble with the owner of the Medford place, and last month moved into one here. So far as can be learned, he never did anything at the shop but make plans. The Smith residence, which he rented, is one of the finest in town, and Bauer lived there in royal style, entertaining lavishly. PLAN BRIDGE FOR CHARITY.
