BENNET STIRS DP PATCHOGUE POLICE because he knew that Its owner was fond of a good game of tennis. The scions of some of the wealthy families were aaccustomed now and then to playing on this court after John Ed had spent hours putting It into shape and picking each blade of grass off the edge of It with hut fingers. He did not wish anyone to play on the court except Edward H.

Floyd-Jonee and his friends. When others Invaded It John Ed was distracted, and, after one Invasion he complained in his slow, deliberate way to Mr. follows: "Them boys come ove ere every day and tear this all up, S104 I ain't gwine stand It no longer. I try to keep this ere court lookin' nice for them ladles what comes here with them white dresses, and I like to know how you "spect I'm gwine' to do it when thoee fellows tear It up on to me all the time." One of the amusing sights of the summer season was when Mr. Floyd-Jones rod up to the tennis court In his automobile and told John Ed something, and then as suddenly whirled away.

John Ed would he struggling with his vocabulary aed his sentiments while the automobile vanished Into the distance. While warning some of the young folks against playing hard on the tennis court, John Ed delivered the following homily: "T'alnt no use runnln' around so much. Just as well one stand here and t'other thar, and knock It back and forth without runnln' 'round so devilish much." Rich Folks and Sickness.

Caldwell to attend that gathering In the Interests of the proposed improvement. President Connolly on his return said: "The project of the proposed great inside channel through Long Island Sound from Boston to Jacksonville by way of the Cape Cod Canal and Long Island Sound Is of such commanding importance to Queens that we put the organizations of the borough on record as favoring the entire proposition, which includes Colonel Black's plan for the improvement of the entire East River, the most Important part of that being the deepening and widening of Hell Gate and the removal of the dangerous shoals and rock ledges all along the Astoria waterfront.

The removal of Scaly Rock, Sunken Meadow reefs.

The Bayside Hotel brought $5,800 and the assumption of a $1,600 mortgage. A cottage near the hotel brought $3,200, a four-acre farm lot, $750 and an elght-een-acre lot a half mile north, $1,100 and a mortgage for making for eighteen acres of back-lying farm lands. The prices were much more than the appraised valuation and three times the assessed valuation. TOMIKS1 OPINION HELPS His Election Law Decision Aids Bull Moose in Long Island Counties.

(Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L. September 7 The opinion of Justice Arthur S. Tompkins of the Ninth Supreme Court District, that the Levy election law Is unconstitutional in its provisions regarding 1,500 signatures for Independent nominations and In the matter of forbidding voters already enrolled In ono of the other parties from signing such petition, and that no name shall count unless the signer registers for the ensuing election, makes much easier the task of the Bull Moose to secure the necessary signatures for their county tickets in the ensuing election. The requirement that forbid voters al ready enrolled in one of the other parties from signing independent petitions was looked upon as quite as serious an obstacle as the requiring of 1,500 signatures. Providing Justice Tompkins'' decision is not reversed by tho Appellate Division, It iB said that the old law will be in force requiring 5 per cent, of the total vote cast for Governor at the last preceding Gubernatorial election to sign suih petition.

The total number of votes cast in Suffolk County for Governor In 1910 was of which 5 per cent, la 7S0. The total vote In Nassau County for Governor In the same year was 15,658, and 5 per cent, is 783. The Bull Moose, who have an active organization in most of the larger villages of both counties, say that they can enslly secure the required number of naiiifn in the period allowed by the new law, as more than that number has already enrolled as members of the new party in a few of the larger villages of both counties.

CITIES LOOK "FINISHED." Recollections, Homeward Bound, of Days Spent Among Charms of European Capitals. BY ERNEST S. HAM) ALU Snugly wrapped In a steamer rug by the ever-present deck steward, and comfortably seated in our steamer chair on the promenade deck of an ocean liner, we look out across the vast expanse of restless Atlantic, lighted up by a full moon, and listen to the music of the band playing in the distance, knowing that within a few hours our good ship will have reached its destination, and that we shall bo back home again, all of which tends to bring on a feeling of contentment and reverie. One's mind reverts back over the past weeks of travel, In which a few Incidents and Impressions stand out more promi nently than the rest. We were particularly impressed by the extreme politeness of the French and English and their desire to be of service to those evidently not familiar with the surroundings and customs.

For the serv- Ernest S. Randall. ices offered a slight gratuity Is expected, and If overlooked by the recipient he even more politely Is made to understand that he has forgotten something. We were also impressed by the extensive and decidedly Inexpensive taxlcab service in Paris and London, the cost being about one-third of what the same service would bo In New York City. Another fact which Impressed us was the finished appearance of the various cities, no streets being torn up and no large buildings In the course of erection.

The cities seem to have been completed years ago, and the Inhabitants are content to let everything remain so, and yet there Is nothing dilapidated or neglected. So different from our cities here In the United States, where everything Is either being torn down or rebuilt. Of course, everyone Is Impressed by the Btatellness and grandeur of the cathedrals, castles and public buildings erected many centuries ago, and by the marked evidence of love and respect which the people of France have for their hero, Napoleon. But, after all, It Is with pleasure that we turn from the recollections of our trip abroad and contemplate our approach to our glorious United States and the return to friendB and loved ones who anxiously await our coming to greet them once again. And so, greatly refreshed and Invigorated by the rest and quiet of the last ten days spent In sailing over the blue waters of the great deep, we turn our hearts and minds homeward and to the round of buslneKi duties temporarily forgotten and neglected.

Unique Character, Bayman, Land "Polisher" and Ail-Around Craftsman Will Be Missed by Massapequa Folk Amityville Held Too Many Urban Attractions. (Special to The Eagle.) Massapequa, L. September 7 This community has lost a familiar figure In the removal of John Edward Wlcks to Amityville: In fact, an Institution disappeared In him. So many years was "John Ed" as he Is familiarly known to every man, woman and child hereabouts a citizen of Massapequa that the mind does not recall his advent.

John Ed has a useful vocation. He Is a general man of all work. He can mow grass as evenly as' sheep nibble It. He can trim a hedge so! smoothly on top that the eye cannot discern a leaf looming above the level he creates. He can roll a lawn so that It looks smooth enough for a dance by the village swain.

He can bo a path or driveway so that not even a single weed dare look him In the faoe. He can keep graves looking neat and trim. And he can roll tennis courts as hard and smooth as the proverbial barn floor. All of these things he had done for years for the Floyd-Jones family and others who have Una estates along the South Country Road. In his given sphere John Ed has been as useful In his day and generation as others tn the more accomplished walks of life.

Consequently John Ed Is sadly missed In his ancient haunts. Why he left Massapequa to work and reside In Amityville Is problematical. Some' say that Dame Fortune temptid him farther east. Others declare that he simply desired more metropolitan, surroundings. At any rate he Is gone from scenes with which he was long familiar; and as a sequence the average citizen of Massapequa Is reminiscent about John Ed.

In addition to the qualifications enumerated above this child of storm and sunhlne Is an accomplished farmer and bayman. He knows all the channels In Great South Bay and the hours of ebb and now tides. "John Ed" Used to Be a Bayman. Through a long terms of years at laborious work John Ed has become somewhat bent In figure and his walk la not agile, although as a workman his work Is thorough. He says that before he "got workln' chores I used ter toiler th' bay, but ain't nuthln' Into more." And there you have his word for it.

He saya that he Is an agriculturist to the extent "I raise a pair of hawgs each year." And he knows a good ham wncn he sees It. He says also that when he went on the bay eellng, "I led 'em onto eel skins," which Is a straight tip to all hog raisers. That John Ed Is an epicure Is evidenced by his code regarding soft clams. He philosophizes about them as follows: "Some likes 'em stewed, some likes 'em with 'taters cooked Into 'em, some like 'em tried with a piece of lard, and some don't like 'em no how." Many years ago John Ed was a member of the Federal lifesavlng crew on Fire Island. So why shouldn't he know Great South Bay? The flrst motor boat he ever saw In operation excited wonder to the exclamation point, causing him to exclaim: "I never saw nothln' go so In all my life.

Went up Great South Channel like th' devil was fhasln' her." And John Ed has traveled some on the water. He proves It. "Been to Cuby, b'gosh, and all over everywhere. Ouess I have traveled. Huh!" Of the weather he remarks that "you can't tell nothln' 'bout the weather nowadays no how at all.

'Taint like It used to be." In his early daya John Ed tried to break tho regularity of his life by being a conductor on a railroad, and at another time a cook on a shin. But the lure of the land overcame him and he has long held sway over It In one way or another. Tobacco Chewing One of His Indulgences. Among his epicurean tastes he loves a chew of good tobacco; and he knows very quickly the difference between good and poor weed. He svs: "Don't b'lleve nowheres near th' harm chewln' there is smnkln'." While he was In MAssepequa John Ed took especial pride In keeping the private tetinls court on the estate of Edward H.

Floyd-Joaea In the pink of condition QU11 COHORTS CELEBRATE Queens Sheriff Leads Friends on Elaborate Picnic at Col- lege Point. Sir ml Thomas M. Qulnn and his political and official followers to the num-brr of 1,000 had possession of Zehdeu't Park, College Point, yesterday afternoon, last night and part of this morning, during which tlmo they went through th motions ot holding their annual picnic and athletic contests. The day started off In good shape with a bail game between the bachelors and the married men. All went well until a few girls showed their faces the grand-stand.

Then the bachelors got thinking about their best girls, and after that apparently couldn't keep their minds ou the ball game. Antonio Burke, star bolter of the "benedicts," captured the honor of the day by personally making tweuty-clght rups, and after that the three score keepers, who sat too near the keg, lost the count. The bachelors had ono run, v.ith prispccts of another when coming ot the feminine contingent put a crimp In thrlr playing. At the end of the fourth Inning the bachelors threw down their hats and raced to the dancing pavilion, wnero a regiment of girls waited patiently for "tho horrid old ball game" to get finished. Tho Sheriff himself broezed in.

about that time and smiled at all the women, huibands, sons, brothers, laticrs mil sweethearts have votes and talked politics with the men If they Insisted on It. It wns Intended originally to have a pig race end a duck race, but somebody released tho animals, and when the races were callef It was discovered tint the ducks llkod tho water pretty well and refused to come In. The pig had vanished uiyst-rlously, and from the kitchen nine the suspicious smell of rosst pork. So the race was replaced with a spread.

PROMOTER "FIRED;" HEARING HELD UP Applicants for Gas Franchise in Southampton Surprise Village Board. ODELL WAS SURPRISED, TOO. Sag Harbor Lighting Company Announces Severing of Relations, as Promoter Argues for Franchise. (Special to The Eagle.) Southampton, L.

September 8 The discussion of H. Allan Odell's application for a gas franchise in the village of Southampton at Friday night's meeting of the villnge board of trustees produced one of the biggest surprises sprung on that body in years. In the middle of the meeting with Odell present, and all the trustees but two, It was announced that the applicant, who had been pro moting the franchise application in the village for the past two months for the Sag Harbor Lighting Company, had no connection whatever with that company and no authority to obtain a gas franchise in its behalf, at the time last night's meeting was called. The announcement, which caused a stir Among the village officials present, also disclosed an Interesting and rather complicated situation. Owing to the absence from the meeting of Henry P.

Robbins and Alfred E. Schermerhorn, two of tho trustees, It was decided not to take any definite action on the franchise application, which was the main subject before the meeting, but merely to have a discussion of the terms, etc. President Willis U. Van Brunt stated for the trustees that no action would be taken anyhow regarding the granting of the franchise until a vote of the village had been taken to find out what the senti ment of the ptople was In the matter. Just as this discussion was about completed Oscar F.

Fanning, a lawyer of Sag Harbor, representing the Sag Harbor Lighting Company, and Caspar Schaeffer, president of the Sag Harbor village and vice-president of the lighting company, walked Into tho board room where the meeting was being held end told the trustees that Odell had been "paid ofT" by the company and had nothing more to do with It and no authority to obtain a franchise as representing that company. Mr. Fanning said he had a preliminary draft of a franchise application In his pocket to make to the trustees for the Sag Harbor corporation, and would submit it to the board in a short time. None of the trustees were expecting such a development, and Odoll, too, seemed surprised, but continued his application, which tho board will now consider along with the coming application of the Sag Harbor Lighting Company, when it is made, although It would appear now that Odell has not a definite company for which he wants the franchise. It is not known whether Odell has had a "scrap" with the Sag Harbor rompany or whether that concern, real Izing the value of the franchise If granted, has seen fit to do away with the promoter's profits and consequently has made application Itself In person.

Patchogue, September 7 Howard Bennett of Bridgehampton came to. Patchogue yesterday and started to "burn things up." Bennett's actions, which have created a great havoo in town, nearly caused the arrest of Constable Charles Warren yesterday, and now Warren says he Is going to get back by closing up some of the "crematories" where Bennett was doing his "burning." Public Indignation Is aroused over an alleged assault last night upon Constable Warren -at the Lakevlew Hotel. Bennett came to Patchogue yesterday and sold a team of mules to a contractor on the State road at Modford.

With 280 in his pocket, he made his way to the hotel In question. About 10 o'clock War-ren had been summoned by Walter H. Newlns, who had received word from H. H. Rogers, of Bridgehampton, a friend of his, that Bennett had run off with a pair of mules owned by him (Rogers).

Warren says that, when he entered the Lakevlew he was attacked by four men, who refused to let the officer take Ben--nett Into custody, it Is said by Warren that Bennett was locked In an Inner room. After trying the door. Warren broke loose from the assailants and summoned Deputy Sheriff Frank Norton and Special Ollicer Ed Bennett was then given up. A balance of $65 was still due Rogers of Bridgehampton on the mule team, and that part of the matter was finally settled by Bennett paying Newlns the amount which he In turn forwarded to Rogers. This morning Major Greenfield, proprietor of the Lakevlew, appeared before Justice L.

B. Green and applied for a warrant for Warren's arrest on a charge of breaking down a door and damaging his business. The warrant was refused. Warren today said that he will prefer charges against Greenfield and the others for Interfering with an officer on duty. SEN.

He Is quite a regular attendant at the services of Grace Episcopal Church, Here, of which the Rev. William Wiley Is pastor. At the celebration In' the parish house last Christmas eve John -Ed was on hand to be a of "peace, on earth, good will toward men." Six plates of cream and John Ed came together In an everlasting clash somewhat more noiseless than the clash of the elements and less disturbing to John Ed.

As the seventh plate loomed on the horizon John Ed had finished all of the sixth plate except a spoonful; and as the server was about to remove the plate John Ed exclaimed: "Hey, wait a minute," and he put down the last spoonful. "I might as well have the hull." "She" Is Important Member of If there Is one person on earth more than himself whom John Ed leans on. it Is his good wife Sarah Amelia.

They take a little stroll on Sundays! nowadays, from Amityville to Massapequa anil back. It Is only three miles each way, and they "go callln'." They go to the general store shopping every night and a big basket accompanies them.

"She" takes about forty- l-flve minutes buying provisions and calico and pays for each article separately, for "She" Is a careful buyer. John Ed, wltn patience Imperturbable, leans against a counter and solemnly awaits the close of the dealing. Then he begins by putting his hand on the cigar counter nd saying; "Gimme a papr of t'backer." He never goes on an extensive purchasing campaign.

When the old family piano of this rustic couple was being moved to Amityville the keys fell out of it, and the episode caused John Ed to say: "Where in the devil did they all come from? Didn't know It had so much stuff Into It no, did not." Broken-hearted, almost, Sarah Amelia exclaimed: "It's my one consolation on earth and all broken." The father of Sarah Amelia was old Uncle Dick Dennis, who for many years lived In a small frame house, with a large family, down on the edge of the meadows and adjacent to Great South Bay. On one occasion during the old man's illness the Rev. William Wrier called upon htm. The house was shut tight and the air was not laden with the freshness of the sea, only a short distance away. Sarah Amelia sat on the edge of a bed with a mess of eels, "skis-nln' 'era The reverend gentleman left the door open as he went In.
