a la I THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1912. Suffolk's Fair Means to the County Mrs. Mary L. Dayton Writes Interestingly for The Eagle of the Importance of the Exhibits in Promoting the Growth and Development of Long Island -Today Is Third Day of Big Exhibi-1 tion.

BY MRS. MARY L. DAYTON. The fairs of our country are growing in importance each year and Suffolk County, with its annual fair at Riverhead, is not being outdone by any other county or country. Here much importance is given to the really true meaning of a fair, its its, and that is what makes our fair such a success.

The premiums offered are liberal and tend to an Incentive for entries, besides the natural pride belonging to every heart in wishing others to see the result of his or her best efforts, and naturally the fair is the right place for such exhibits. Our woman's building affords ample opportunity for the who are fond of the needle and its women, uses, and each year one can see a growth in the tity of exhibits, as marked improvement in style workmanship, many pieces being wonderfully well executed, showing the women of today are still fond of home and needle, even though they do take active interest in the affairs of state and nation. In the main hall those efficient in culinary arts again show their ability, Here in the bread, cake and pastry department one's mouth waters even at a look of the good things, and the hundreds of cans and glasses of fruits, jellies, vegetables and pickles displayed, prove that in Suffolk County, woman reigns with wisdom and skill, doing her part in a manner creditable to her sex. Young People Going "Back to the Farm. That the call "Back to the Farm" is being heeded by our boys and young men is shown by the growing interest in their line of exhibits, and that instead of the slow, grinding drudgery of farming as it used to exist, by the scientifically applied methods of the day, farming is acknowledged the most independent and fortunate of all occupations.

The work is much than in olden times and far more successful. The cattle exhibit of fine thoroughbreds is one to be proud of. It costs no more to feed and care for a good beast than a poor one, and there is such a difference in the returns. Sheep, swine, poultry and horses all are better each year, and fruit and vegetables, well, anyone that sees our wonder why anyone can to live anywhere but in Suffolk County. The machinery of today is really of great interest.

Look at all of the time and labor -saving devices there are and one will wonder if in the years to come we will have anything to do by hand. The exhibit of our schoolboys and girls is well worth inspecting, for on them soon will depend the future success of our fair. The needlework and food exhibit by the very young girls speak well for their future capability of adorning both house and table with good and well-made articles. Come to the Fair and Encourage Growth, So come to our fair, inspect all of our exhibits, meet old friends, watch the horse races, baseball games, airship flights and have a real good old-fashioned visit, exchanging ideas, talking over what you have seen, thus putting new vigor in us all to do our best so that we, too, may have something worthy of exhibit another year. And the children; don't forget to bring them; let them see and be seen 89 well as hear! for "through the air floats that sweetest of all music to the childish ear, the unceasing wail of an expiring balloon; and childish souls are held together in one sticky ecstasy of molasses candy and popcorn balls." Come yourselves, bring your children and friends and help to encourage our fair by your presence, influence and example.

Then when you go home tell those that were foolish enough not to come all about it, and another year get them to exhibit, too. That is the true way to make it successful. For where your exhibits are there will you be heart and soul. Let us all try to make our fair the fair of fairs. THIRD DAY OF THE FAIR OPENS WITH GOOD CROWD The third day of the Suffolk Fair opened with early morning indications of being fully up to the recent year record-breaking attendance.

Excursion trains began arriving early and they were more than well Alled with happy people out for an outing of the best sort-a trip to a county fair where there is much to see in the way of fine exhibits and fine sport. The quota from the trains is being augmented every minute by thousands of people in automobiles. The grounds and village are literally jammed with cars, that apparently being one of the best ways of getting to and from the fair nowadays. Yesterday was a great day at the fair. While the officials say that no records were broken, yet it was a close shave.

All here apparently had a fine time--even if it did rain late in the afternoon. The rain provided a lot of sport for those who look upon the bright side of things, even in a storm. The showers did not come until the ball game was a little more than half over and the motorcycle races were starting. Then It was a case of dodge the drops. It rained, and then it didn't.

First there would be 8 hard shower and everyone would duck for cover. Almost as quickly the Bun shone again and the excursionista out, only to be hustled back after the ball players had pitched about two balls. This game of sprinting was continued all the rest of the afternoon. State Agriculturists Praise Long Island. Two of the people deeply interested in the fair yesterday were A.

D. Dean, chief of the division of vocational schools of the State Educational Department, and L. S. Hawking, a specialist in the State Agricultural Department of the State Educational Department. This was their Brat visit to this fair, and they expressed themselves A8 highly pleased with the show, particularly the exhibits in fruit.

vegetables and school work. "Looking over this vegetable display," said Mr. Dean to an Eagle man, "leads me to the conclusion that Long Island is surely the Northern Florida." Both men said they were amazed to see what a variety of fruits and vegetables Long Island grows so successfully. Fine Horse Flesh Shown. At the morning horse show Howard Wells of Riverhead got frat on brood mare and colt for road, and Howard E.

Hulse of Calverton frat on same for draft. J. H. Wells of Riverhead got first on colt, one year old, for road. F.

V. Luce of Jamesport got first on colt, two years, for road, and Bruno Zaloga got frat on same for draft. F. H. Wells of Aquebogue got first on gelding, three years, for draft.

The motorcycle races were thrilling ex'hibitions daring riding for a track of FROM QUEENS BOROUGH AND ALL LONG ISLAND RED LIGHT SYSTEM PROTECTS FREEPORT New Signals to Notify Police in Case of Fire, Crime or Other Disturbance. SYSTEM PRONOUNCED PERFECT Police Headquarters a "Nerve Center," With Quick Communication to All Outlying Districts. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. September 19--This village is now equipped with a system of red light signals for fire service. James Hanse, president of the village, and Trustee Ernest S.

Randall, chairman of the light committee, who have superintended the work and are responsible for the installation of the system, made a tour of inspection last night, saw the lights in working order and pronounce them perfect in every detail. The object of the scheme is to provide Immediate communication to police headquarters in case of fire, disturbances or tragedies in any part of the village at a night. The lights are evenly distributed north, south, east and west. One strong point in its favor lies in the rapidity in which the village engineer in the powerhouse can be apprised of a fire, thus enabling him to blow the fire whistle to rouse the "vamps." A policeman upon seeing a blaze will notify police headquarters from the nearest signal box. The instant the policeman lifts the receiver to call police headquarters he gets in direct contact with the powerhouse.

He gives the location of fire and the fire whistle is immediately pulled. By another twist of a button all the lights in the village are turned on, and the policeman distributed in the four corners on seeing a red light answer. They are told of the fire and are quickly despatched there to form police lines. In the event of a robbery, the victim or a neighbor knowing of it can notify headquarters by 'phone. The lights in the vicinity of the burglarized home will be flashed and the policemen or policeman on that beat will be notified where to go in quest of the burglar.

"We now make a nerve center of police headquarters. It will be the duty of the man in headquarters to stay awake, ready for instant service," said President Hanse concerning the new signal system. "It will also mean that every night patrolman will be out on beat watching for the voice in the still night calling for his help. The whole force will be the nerves the nerve center at police headquarters." NEAR ACCIDENT IN BAY. Seaman's Craft Strikes Cables of Dredge--Cabin Collapses.

Freeport, L. September 19-Serious accident was averted last night by the presence of mind of Frank Seaman, millwright of this village, when the cabin boat he was piloting through Randall's Bay struck the cables of a dredge moored there. The boat was cruising at full speed through the dark waters when the accident occurred. The force of the collision tore the cabin from the boat and it collapsed on a woman passenger. There were Mr.

and Mrs. Seaman and Mr. and Mrs. James Dean in the boat at the time, and the cabin fell on both women, injuring them slightly. Two children were also in the boat, but they escaped injury.

When the boat struck the cable the craft listed, and it was feared it was staved and perhaps sinking. Pilot Seaman disentagled the mixup by some skillful maneuvering. Upon the arrival of the boat off the South Shore Yacht Club's waters Dr. Fletcher was called in. He treated Mrs.

Dean for lacerations. CHILDREN'S HOME MOVES. The Home for Friendless Children, which has been located in the McLean cottage at Westmoreland, Little Neck, since its former quarters at Lakeville were destroyed by fire, has been moved into the cottage on Clinton avenue, Little Neck, recently occupied by James Stewart. Miss Rose, the matron, procured the temporary quarters until something permanent can be built. The home is supported by Mrs.

William K. Vanderbilt and other wealthy women. DOG ONLY "COP" WAGNER SEES "That dog is the policeman of our neighborhood and we must keep him for our protection. I haven't seen a real policeman on our street in twelve years." So said William Wagner, who lives on Charlotte street, Woodside, just one block from Jackson avenue, which is supposed to be one of the busiest thoroughfares in Queens County, and he spoke to Magistrate Leach in Long Island City police court. He was summoned yesterday by Inspector R.

W. Davies of the A. S. P. C.

A. for not having a license for the canine cop. He promised to get a badge for the dog and was allowed to go. BURGLAR SUSPECT CAUGHT James O'Neil, Released in New York on One Charge, Arrested on Another. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L.

September 19-William Schweicker of this village, will try to identify James (Tip) O'Neill as the person who held him up at the point of a revolver in Merrick on the night of May 20 last. It was the night of the postoffice robbery by "yeggmen," who etfected an entrance into John W. Birch's store, where the postoffice is located. Schweicker was returning from Bellmore when he was waylaid and held up at point of a pistol. Three men were later taken into coustody by Detectives Cassasa, Gaynor and Riley of the New York Police Department.

It appears that the Manhattan detectives were following the yeggmen, whom they suspected of deeds of a similar nature, performed on the north side of Long Island. 1. They also suspected the men, whom they followed to Freeport, losing in the meadows there, of the two former robberies at the post office in Birch's store. The first robbery in Birch's occurred a year ago today; the second, October 11, three weeks later. The same night the fugitives robbed Birch's again, and early the next morning they were trailed to Manhattan by the detectives and were captured.

The other men are Harry Wilson and Thomas Conway. In General Sessions, Manhattan, yesterday, Wilson was declared guilty and was given one year and a fine of $500. O'Neill was discharged from custody, there being no tangible evidence on which to convict him. Constable Thomas Murray of Freeport, worked with the Manhattan detectives in aiding in the capture of the burglars, and when O'Neill was set free yesterday, Murray arrested him as he was leaving the Tombs. O'Neill protested his innocence.

C. F. MURPHY HAD CLOSE CALL Wheel on Tammany Leader's Car Almost Come Off on Parkway. Farmingdale, L. September 19-It became known in Farmingdale yesterday that the stranger whose touring car was brought to the Turnpike garage Monday, and left there for repairs after a nearaccident on the Motor Parkway, was Charles F.

Murphy, the Tammany hall leader. One of the wheels of the car became loosened while the car was going at a good speed on the parkway and but for timely discovery of the trouble by the chauffeur would have come off and a serious accident caused. When the car was stopped the wheel was held on by a single nut. The car was brought to the garage and left for repairs. When the chauffeur called for the repaired machine yesterday it was learned that the car belonged to Murphy and that he was one of the occupants.

Besides men Murphy in the there car. were The three women and bound two party was for Good Ground and, after the car was brought to Farmingdale, the remainder of the trip was made in hired machines. MARRIED AUGUST! 5. Patchogue, L. September 19-Miss Laura Crozier, a well-known young Patchogue woman, was married on August 5 in Jersey City to Frank Ryther of Sayville.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Lane, an Episcopal clergyman. Mr. and Mrs.

Ryther are for the present making their home in Patchogue. The announcement of the wedding has just been made public. TRYING TO CLEAR UP SOUTH SHORE TITLE Final Hearing in Matter of Ascher Injunction on Trolley Construction. ACTION IS EXPECTED SOON. Suffolk Traction Ready to Take Over Blue Point-Islip Line When Title Is Cleared.

(Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. September 19-The final hearing in the case of the injunction, which is now prohibiting the South Shore Traction Company from operating its line between Blue Point and Islip, and held Tuesday at the office of Referee William M. McKinney at Northport. The hearing was held quietly, but according to authority some expert testimony was given as to value of the property to be used by trolley line in the front of the property of John J. Ascher of Bayport, who now has the injunction against the line.

Several expert witnesses testifled that the damage to Mr. Ascher's property was nominal. The fact was established that land taken for the South Shore line at this point was on the public highway, a highway established many years ago, and that none of Mr. Ascher's land would be acquired. So far there has been no appointment commissioners to estimate the value of the highway property thus taken up.

The Supreme Court may appoint a commission, or a jury may be drawn to decide upon the matter. Referee McKinney may render his decision regarding the removal of the injunction at any time, and the action condemning the property for its estimated value will result. All that is now lacking before the Suffolk Traction Company will take over and put in operation South Shore line, is a clearing up of this legal tangle. Daniel Chichester of Patchogue, one of the leading forces in the Suffolk Traction Company, said today that the purchase of the South Shore line would include all the property, rights and titles and that it would be a clear ownership on the part of the Suffolk Company. added Mr.

Chichester, "it is trouble enough to operate a railroad with a clear title without getting one with a poor one, and we must first get all injunctions and legal entanglements cleared up." Colonel J. C. Brackenridge, John M. Price and others prominently connected with the Suffolk Company, voice this sentiment. NEW P.

0. FOR HEMPSTEAD. Department Approves Project for Erection of New Building. Hempstead, L. September 19-Postmaster De Witt C.

Titus has received approval from the Postoffice Department at Washington of his project to have a new building constructed for the postoffice at Hempstead. The present building on Main street is inadequate and a large brick structure will be erected on Main street, just north of Fulton avenue. It is estimated that the cost of the new postoffice will be about $15,000 with the interior furnishing costing an additional $3,000. The building will be a two etory tsructure of brick and the interior will have a private office for the postmaster. The money order department will be in a separate room and upon its completion which will be December 1 of this year, the building will be one of teh most complete and commodious on Long Island.

TO BUILD TEMPORARY DEPOT. Work on Elevating L. I. R. R.

Tracks at Flushing to Begin Soon. The Long Island Railroad has decided to erect a temporary station at the old freight yards on Grove street, between Main and Lawrence streets, while the new station at Main street is being erected. The work of elevating the tracks at Main street is progressing rapidly, and when they are raised above grade it will be necessary to build an approach. This will make it impossible to use the present station. NOTES AND COMMENTS Local volunteer fire departments often do much more for their village than they are called upon to do.

An instance of this is noticed in Greenpoint. A modern fire alarm system is needed there and instead of asking the taxpayers for the money in the form of an appropriation, the firemen recently held a carnival to procure the money. Many of the firemen worked hard at the carnival, too, 80 A8 to save expense that would have been caused by hiring outsiders. Thus it 18 shown that the firemen are a public spirited lot of men in that village, as In others. We knew It would happen.

Long Island products can easily hold up their heads in the face of all the world, so it was not surprising to learn that Long Island-made butter ran away with the honors at the State fair in Syracuse, nor less surprising to discover that the Long Island Guernseys took highest honors, nor that our fruits and vegetables won premiums. In fact, it would have been surprising to those who know the Island's capabilities If many prizes had not come this way. Of course, Farmer Fullerton was one of the happiest men of the thousands at the big fair. He preaches Long Island and dreams Long Island, and is forever telling the world la general that we can grow practically every crop that was ever grown anywhere and do it a little better, too. It 18 too bad that the Rockaway oysters are officially blamed for typhoid outbreaks, but the recent reports concerning them are strong sermons on installing sewage disposal plants.

Long Island waters that will grow oysters are far too valuable to be used for sewage dumping. Towns should build disposal plants and then grow oysters in the publie waters, not try to combine the two In the same stream--and it seems sate to bet that the net income from the sale of pure oysters will more than pay the cost of the sanitary disposal plants. A big lesson has been learned, though It 18 A dear one, in the Rockaway oyster matters. Oysters may be dumb, but these have spoken. The Patchogue Advance notes that a resident endeavoring to earn his missionary dollar by hooking up the back of his wife's dress, for which service he gets 5 cents every time he does the Job without complaining about the button holes or the eyes.

Yes, he surely earns the money, as much in doing the work 88 in being able to keep his tongue quiet while doing it. If he does it five times In succession without "saying things" he will be classed as a modern marytr. BROOKLYNITE'S RIG STOLEN. this class. Jess Albin of Eastport took two five-mile races.

In the ten mile freefor-all Charles Chapman took first in although on account of on the rain the motors stopped at the end of miles. Otto Schwann was second in the last race. Racing Furnishes Good Sport.

The harness races yesterday provided some of the best sport in that department that has ever been seen on this track, famous for its races in the past. The track was again fast, and split heats were in order. Many of the finishes were very close, the crowds in the stands beIng brought to their feet in the excitement. The heat in the 2:25 trot provided a hot finish between Bignonia and Patentee. The latter led all the way to the wire, when Bignonia won by a nose, both horses being under the lash nearly all the way down the stretch.

In the first heat of the 2:18 pace all four entries were wheel and wheel nearly all the way. Patchen led slightly in the first half and was passed by Bellata at the turn just beyond the stand, keeping a slight lead till the finish. The second heat in this race was so nearly a dead one that the crowd was undecided whether Baronella or Bellata had won until the judges' decision was given. In the third heat Bellata only won by a nose after one of the hottest finishes ever seen anywhere. The summary: 2:20 -PURSE $400.

After one of the warmest baseball games seen here, West Patchogue came off victorious, defeating Bay Shore by the score of 4 to 3, in the eleventh inning. Bay Shore started off with a determination to win the game.

They scored two In the first inning. Sam Hope, pitching for West Patchogue, did not appear to be in shape, but in the subsequent innings he steadied and allowed the Bay Shore fellows to get but one more run and but few hits. West Patchogue did not score until the sixth inning, and then they only got one lone tally. They worked hard, but it was not until the last of the ninth that they got more, and then the score was tied. Micky Flynn of Riverhead started the fun for West Patchogue.

He laid down a two bagger. John Hope got a pass; Cruzius singled, scoring Flynn stole second and died trying to pinch third; J. Hope scored on a fielder's choice allowed S. Hope. Thus the two nines started the tenth, which ended with no runs for either.

In the eleventh there were three errors in a row which finally scored J. Hope, and the game, which looked at first like a sure victory for Bay Shore, ended in a wild scene of cheers for West Patchogue. The game was frequently interrupted by showers, but the big crowd hung 00 nearly to the finish. The summary: West Patchogue. Bay Shore.

From the way his machine careened at times it looked ag though he was in a pretty bad wind, although It did not blow very bad on the ground at that time.

Tomorrow Will Be Big Day. For tomorrow, the closing day of the fair, one of the best sporting programmes of the week has been reserved. First of great interest on this is something brand new in this section-a relay horse race three miles. This is under management of William Post Son, the well known horsemen of East Williston. In the race the riders will each have six separate mounts, changing steeds every half mile in front of the grandstand.

A carload of horses came to Riverhead last night to participate in this great race. Some of the entries are by Brooklyn's crack cavalry, Squadron C. Great interest is being taken in this unusual horse race. There will also be the big free for all, with some very fast horses starting. In addition to the free for all there will be two other fast classes in the harness races, and a horse show will attract attention in the morning, when the high steppers will be Judged.

The baseball game is expected to be the hottest of the week. Greenport and Riverhead will have their annual clash. There is "bad blood" between these two teams, and when they meet something is always bound to happen to keep the fans on edge. Registered at The Eagle Tent. Mrs.

Detective Dennis Killane of the Jamaica police station, last night recovered a horse and rubber tired carriage which had been stolen the day before from William H.

Nelson, a livery stable man, of 689 Marcy avenue, Brooklyn. Two young men had hired the rig and did not return. Nelson caused a general alarm to be sent through the police. Detective Killane, who had heard the description which had been given of the missing horse and vehicle, found the outfit night at Engledrum's Hotel, on Hillside avenue, Jamaica, where it had been abandoned. Nelson was notifed of the recovery of his property through the 155th precinct station house, and he went to Jamaica and identified the horse and carriage as his own.

NEAR DEATH IN HIS GARAGE Huntington Man, in Closed Building, Overcome by Fumes From Auto Engine Exhaust. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L. September 19-But for his presence of mind in switching off the six-cylinder engine of his automobile just before the gas from its exhaust caused him to lapse into unconsciousness, Charles S. Sudder, a local business man, might have been asphyxiated early yesterday morning while adjusting some rods on his touring car in his garage at New York avenue and Carver place. Scudder arose at 6 o'clock yesterday to make some adjustment to his machine.

As it was necessary to make them while the engine was running, he closed the doors of the garage so that the slumbers of his neighbors would not be disturbed. He worked for some time in the closed garage trying to determine what ailed the motor, when he suddenly felt himself growing faint. He groped for the switch shut off the engine and fell upon the floor in a dead faint, bruising his face badly, How long he lay there Scudder has 110 idea, but the air gradually cleared, owing to the fact that it was no longer being poisoned by exhaust from the engine, and Scudder managed to stagger out of the building where he again collapsed. He revived shortly, however, and was soon little the worse for his unpleasant experience, which he declared should be a lesson for those who work in carages without ventilation. NASSAU VOTE CANVASSED.

Organization Ticket Has Big Lead in Democratic Primary. Mineola, L. September 19-The Board of Election Commissioners of Nassau County completed this morning its canvass of the vote at the primary of Tuesday. Lathrop Brown of St. James, the organization candidate for Congress, received 1,652 votes, while James E.

Kelly received 1,105, giving Brown a lead of 547 votes. Thomas H. O'Keefe carried Nassau County by 187 votes. He received 1,340 votes, and his opponent, James L. Long, received 1,153.

The Keystone party was beaten by the organization ticket with 513 votes. Harry P. Keith, who headed the organization I ticket as delegate to state convention, received 1,636 votes, while ex-Judge Robert Seabury received 1,123. The other delegates to the Democratic State Convention on the organization ticket were Philip J. Christ, who received 1,653 votes, and Thomas O'Keefe, 1,621, while the opposing delegates on the Keystone ticket, William O'Connor, received 1,127, and ex-Senator James Norton received 1.114 votes.

Supervisor Christ of North Hempstead, ran ahead of the organization ticket. Riverhead, L. September 19-The election commissioners report this morning that Long carries Suffolk County by only about 50 votes. As he 18 beaten by O'Keefe in Nassau by 209 his majority here is obviously not enough to give him Democratic nomination for State Senator. Had Long been able to get on the regular Democratic ticket he would have been nominated by an overwhelming majority.

It is found, too, from the returns fled here that the Bailey faction beats the antis by at least 3 to 1. The compilation of the figures is not yet complete, so accurate results of the primary cannot be given. SHEPPARD SPEAKS AT QUEENS Borough Official Talks of Street Opening Proceedings. The Commercil Board of Queens and Bellaire met last evening and listened to an address by Assistant Corporation Counsel Walter C. Sheppard, who is in charge of the Queens Bureau Street Opening.

His remarks were of special of Interest in view of the fact that the tentative street map of the Queens and Hollis section will soon be ready for adoption by the Board of Estimate.

September 19-George Bayport, Hillenbrand, who left here last Thursday evening for New York and whose absence caused his family much longed leading them to call upon the uneasiness local authorities to have a general alarm sent out, put in an appearance on day very much as though nothing unusual had happened. He says he merely had occasion to go to the city and to Coney Taland for a little vacation trip and did did not think it worth his wihle to take everybody into him confidence regarding his intentions before he went, OFF FOR FLORIDA AT NINETY-FOUR Capt.

Taft, Freeport's Grand Old Man, Active in Business Affairs. A HERO OF THE CIVIL WAR. Organized. Fifth N. Y.

Independent Battery and Its Record Earned Signal Honors. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. September 19-Captain Elijah D. Taft, of Taft's Fifth New York Independent Battery Artillery Reserves, has left the home of his daughter-in-law at 86 Rayner street to return to St. Cloud, Osceola County, where he has bought extensive property.

This in itself sounds ordinary, but when it is considered that Captain Taft is 94 years old and is traveling alone it becomes vastly interesting. Before departing for the South, Captain Taft went to the home of a daughter in Brooklyn from where he made the start via Washington Tuesday. It was about three years ago that Captain Taft went South to buy some property. That purchase was made without his seeing the property and it developed Captain Elijah D. Taft, Who, at 94, Has Gone to Florida to tend Building Operations.

that he bought considerable swamp. However, he built a bungalow there and when he saw his opportunity he bought in several acres of good fertile land. It is his intention to build there and he will superintend all the work personally. Captain a Taft will not return until next spring. He was the oldest man in Freeport.

Despite his age he possessed all his faculties and was a good walker. In fact he believes he owes his long life to his fondness for walking. It has been his advice to all his family and one of his pet grievances is that a grandson, Lyman Taft, constantly rides a wheel. Captain Taft is a product of New York. He was born in Mamaroneck, Westchester County, N.

Y. He received the finish of his education at New Rochelle. At fifteen he moved to New York City, and seven years later he married Rosella Van Nostrand. He moved to Greenpoint in 1845. While a resident of Greenpoint he joined the Thirteenth Regiment.

Later he Was transferred to the Fourteenth Infantry and several years later shifted to the Seventieth Cavalry, of which he later became captain. He organized the Fifth New York Independent Battery of Light Artillery when the Civil War broke out. The com, pany was organized August 15, 1861, and the intention on the part of Captain Taft WAS that the company should join Sickles' Excelsior Brigade. Mustered into nervice in the following November with Taft as captain, the battery was ordered to Washington, D. V.

The career of Captain Taft's battery was remarkable indeed. General H. J. Hunt, chief of Army af the Potomac, had attention attracted to the daring of Artillery, Captain Taft's company and he wrote a Jetter Pay saying: "Captain Taft organized his battery under my direction in the fall and winter of 1861-62, and he served during the whole war under my command except for a short period when detached. He was in every respect an excellent officer, brave, skillful, painstaking, a good administrator and disciplinarian.

His battery was among the best in the Army of the Potomac. It did its full share of the Aghting and did it well." Captain Taft injected his personality Into the work of the battery. Because of the fact that his battery an independent one, Captain Taft was not in position to receive the promotion that usually accompanies meritorious acts, but his name occupied an honored place. He has a wide circle of friends in Freeport who regard him as its "Grand Old Man." Automobilista and many other people, too, have another improvement-a year 'round ferry service from Sea Cliff to New Rochelle. Heretofore the service has been discontinued in the winter.

Many And this route a great convenience, and it will indirectly be an aid to Sea Cliff's progress, too. The Signal says: "Today is Friday, the 13th. Have you seen any hoodoos yet?" No, we didn't hear of any hoodoos on that doubly superstitious day, but we heard of some more hard luck. We know of a lad who was born on Friday, the 13th, and whose fifth birthday likewise came on Friday, and we had hardly got through agreeing with him that he was now almost a man when we heard that the stork had a few momenta before visited a neighbor and left a boy. The first mentioned lad has been as hard as nails, healthy, three "squares" A day (and more) youngster ever since he was (born--a typical Long Islander, so it leads lone to belleve that Friday, the 13th, 18 worn out as a superstition.

By organizing a savings bank In its village Hempstead will be adding another mark of civic improvement. We hear that the plan is under consideration and that such a bank may soon be started. Some narrow -minded people say that a savings bank hurts a village. They arrive at this conclusion by declaring that some people stow away their money Instead of paying the grocer. This may be true in a few cases, but even then the grocer has redress.

He can get the money it the man has it anywhere. On other hand, we know of more than one young man who today admits that A savings bank gave him his Arst incentive to lay away a $5 bill, and as time went on he became enthuslastic in seeing the account with the bank grow faster. Thus the bank encouraged thrift. Today these men own their own fine dences, and they have never had large salaries nor had money left to them. The Rockaway Beach Wave asks a sible question in discussing the Boulevard widening proposition.

"Why stand still?" it asks. There is DO good reason that we have heard of yet. Queens is going repidly ahead in road matters. The trip of the prominent men about Queens Borough last week with President Connolly, proved this, and nearly every week contracts are being let for additional improvements. Roads are the backbone of village upbuliding and increased lation.

The time for more and better boulevards on Long Island seems to be now -the Iron 18 hot--it 18 time to stripe. A Patchogue crab with bad manners embraced a maiden fair with such ardor last week that the maiden was nearly drowned. We've seen A lot of Patchogue the road," sof course--and can't blame the crab for being smitten, but he surely overdid it. But say, we'll bet a doughnut that it was not a soft crab that turned the trick. "Softies" in the human race often take liberties, but every Long Islander knows that a soft crab is incapable of action of any sort except weakly wiggling a flipper when you put him in the fryingpan.

The man who wrote that story came from Vermont, we'll bet, where they don't have crabs of the good Long Island sort. The pretty little hamlet of Miller's place recently enjoyed a village function that is, alas, going out of style--a village plenie. This Was run by the People's Forum, and as such 1t was practically a public affair. In years gone by it used to be In order for nearly every hamlet to gather at least once in the summer on the shore of the bay or in the grove and have an all-day affair, and jolly ones they were, too, a generation back. You who have participated remember how the big boys put up the swings from tall branches, and how the little fellows were given turns- -n bigger fellow had to "run under" BO many times and then let the "old cat die," after which it was another's turn.

And at noon when all the big lunch baskets were opened, while everyone sat together in one big family, and the contents of each basket WAR shared with everyone else--say, there was no clique about those old fashioned village picnics. They were affairs that live long in memory, that did much good, and that are all too few now. Peaches are retailing for $2 a basket in some parts of Rhode Island. Long Island ralees its own in abudance and fine quallty and gets them nt $1 a basket. The point of the moral 18 as sharp as a pin.

Sag Harbor did a very pretty little thing last week. The flag was flown on the village liberty pole in honor of the 84th birthday anniversary of Mrs. Russell Sage, who has contributed 80 many public benefactions to that village. It was A pleasant way to show the Lady Bountiful that she was well thought of. The East Marion Baptists still adhere to an old-time custom that is as Interesting as it is little used now.

We refer to baptisms in the bay. The bay is not far from the church and when one unites with the church in summer he or she is taken to the bay and publicly emersed. while the choir sings on the shore. The ordinance was observed two Sundays ago, when George Thieringer, and the Misses Mabel Wiggins, Ruth King, and Irma Redmond were emersed. WHAT GRESSER DID ON ROADS Leavitt Explains What Queens Contracts Were Arranged by Former President.

Highways Commissioner Leavitt today denied that all the contracts under which work on the Queens roads is now being done were arranged by former Borouch President Lawrence Gresser. Mr. Leavitt says he held off his denial until yesterday because he had no desire to mix in the primary fight. "Contracts were made up by Gresser for exactly 76,020 feet, or fourteen miles of paving," said Mr. Leavitt, exhibiting the bocks of his department to back up his assertion.

"You can see here that these contracts were for MetropolItan avenue, Jackson avenue, Cooper ayenue, Woodhaven avenue, Hoffman Boulevard and the Turnpike, Merriek road. Shell road, Central avenue and College Point Causeway. The only one he signed, however, wes the Broadway contract, which was held up by Injunction. Subsequently we had to buy off Mullen, the contractor, and give him $10,000 to release the obligation entailed by the Gresser administration. Then we had to readvertise the job 50 we could pave Broadway with serviceable material.

The other contracta we also had to rewrite to accord with our good roads plan. We have laid 110 miles of paving since. Connolly into office as compared to the fourteen miles that figured in Gresser's tentative contracts." THE RIVERHEAD FAIR.
