QUEENS BOROUGH AND LONG ISLAND STIER NAMED TO TRY FOR SHERIFF Benninger's Successor as Candidate for Nomination on Administration Democratic Ticket. "A GERMAN FROM RIDGEWOOD." Candidato Is Prominent as a Builder, and 1 Has Not Tried for Political Office Before. (Special to The Eagle.) Long Island City, September German from Ridgewood" has been found. Paul Stier, Ridgewood builder, was yesterday as the man to take the place on the Connolly ticket for sheriff at the coming Democratic primaries. This selection was made by Arthur E.

Keating, Matthew J. Goldner and Edward W. Cox, the Paul Stler. committee appointed by Alderman Benninger to fill the vacancy in case of his own resignation as a candidate. Benninger fled his declination day morning.

The Hicks faction or any other faction will be unable to raise the cry this time that the German is not a German as they did in the case of Benninger. Mr. Stier came to this country when he was 17 years old, from Mecklenberg, Germany, where he was born in 1874. He still speaks with a convincing German accent. Stier is president of a firm that has erected during the past year more than a million dollars worth of brick houses in the Ridgewood section, He was one of the organizers of the Ridgewood National Bank, He learned the trade of brick layer while still a boy in Germany, and has always been allied with that business.

As a superintendent he helped direct the erection of the court house at Toledo, the Continuous Bank of Memphis, the big viaduct at Columbus, Ohio, and the National Bank of Syracuse. The new candidate is president of the Bricklayers Local No. 35 of New York City and a member of the Board of Arbitration of the Building Trades Council of New York City, He is a member of Star of Bethlehem Lodge No. 323, F. and A.

a thirty-second degree Mason of the New York Consistory and a member of Kismet Temple Mystic Shrine. Mr. Stier will start his campaign at once, he promises to make it an active one. The naming of Stier as a candidate comes as a surprise, as his name had not even been suggested until yesterday. It is now learned, however, that the leaders have been after him to accept the place for the past few days.

Stier at first declined, but after several of the big Democrats had gone to him, among them Carl Berger, the man who it was thought would get the indorsement, he decided to run. He has never been prominent in politics, although he has been an active member of the Ridgewood Democratic Club, of which Berger is president. MORE JAMAICA ROBBERIES Sneak Thieves Enter Two Houses on Same Street. (Special to The Eagle.) Jamaica, L. September 11-Two more Jamaica homes have been added to the long list of houses robbed by sneak thieves during the several weeks past.

3 POUNDS BLAMED FOR FISH SHORTAGE Sayville Fishermen May Move to Jersey in Search of Larger Catches. WANT SNAPPERS PROTECTED. Would Have State Fix Minimum Size of Baby Bluefish Which May Be Taken. (Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. September 11-According to the surmises of local fishermen there a number of why fish are" scare.

Scarce they reasons are, but this is no condition which has come about suddenly. Fish have been becoming fewer and fewer for three or four years in the Great South Bay and ocean off Fire Island, where formerly they were in almost unlimited numbers. The tantalizing part of it all for the fishermen is the fact that the reasons for the scarcity can be only surmised; there is no such thing as determining positively where the trouble lies. In the minds of some fishermen, the fault 1g with the persistent stormy weather this summer, continued east winds and rough water. Again there are those who claim that the scarcity of eels and weakfish is due to the hundreds of pounds all along the coast.

Pound fishing, which has been going on for years, not only in the ocean, but in the bays and inland streams, it is believed, has caused a notable diminution in the supply. Particularly is this true in the case of eels. In and around Chesapeake Bay waters the weakfish have been caught in such tremendous quantities in pounds that they are used for the purpose of fertilizing gardens, it is said. There is a very marked scarcity of bluefish and some fishermen declare that this is largely due, in their belief, to the fact that "snapper" fishing is becoming more and more popular. "Snappers" are young bluefish, which are caught literally by the thousands in Long Island waters, and no restriction is made as to the size of fish which it is lawful to take.

Some fishermen suggest that the State should remedy this, as is done in the case of trout, by prescribing the size fish which may be caught. waters adjacent to cities, as in the Sound off the Connecticut shores and near New York, there is every reason to believe that the streams are so polluted by sewage that fish spawn does live, but this cannot be true of this vicinity, as there are no cities near here. Especially it is believed that polluted streams are the cause of the scarcity of menhaden. At any rate, whatever the cause, several West Sayville fishermen are planning to move shortly to the New Jersey coast, near Atlantic City, where they expect to find fish in greater quantities and where competition is less keen and the season is longer.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS PHS POLITICAL The loss of the harmony dove is explained. Elections Commissioner Korn has it down in Southold. Must be true, for there are no Democratic County Committee contests at all in that town.

Apparently, Frederick C. Hicks, who is still waiting to be declared a winner in last year's Congressional race, is still highly popular in Suffolk. At the Republican Get Together dinner he was a bigger man than Governor Whitman, measured by the ovation given him. Babylon Town has got its "dander" up, and refuses to send the Health Officer to school for six weeks at town expense. "We shall see," says the Leader, whose editor is a member of the board, "whether this autocratic board in Albany will be able to compel the expenditure, To submit longer to the imposition of such a nonsensical as well as extravagant propaganda of faddists will be to welcome the supreme contempt of all intelligent persons." Other officials are watching Babylon's stand with interest.

Watching the 250 Republicans hobnobbing with each other at the Get Together dinner Thursday night, one could not observe the slightest hint of the bitter primary fights that seem inevitable, according to the petitions filed. All controversy was surely forgotten for the time, and it is quite MRS. ROBERT C.

(Special to The Eagle.) Bellmore, L. September 11-Full many a story has been told of heroes bold and brave, and books contain the names of men of whom we talk and rave. Great deeds have been recounted of Hale and Paul Revere; they rendered yeoman service--were -showed no fear. Now, Bellmore has a hero over whom it boasts and smiles. He is none other than the inimitable "Jim" Stiles.

The police have been notified. The wheel is valued at over $45. PARAGRAPHS PHS week. "Every town is at liberty to present a candidate for every office. There was ample warning that Riverhead had a candidate, yet no other town even suggested the name of a candidate, which leads one to believe that no other town had anyone who wanted the job.

Hence to accuse Riverhead of grabbing is unjust. Then, if a town had no candidate, it ought not to find fault because Riverhead did have." After this campaign is over it looks as if we would have such an oddity as a Republican- in the person genial Abraham L. Field of Huntington. One will have to go some to beat that in political combinations. The scrap that is on in the Fourth District, Riverhead, between Harry Lee and John Bagshaw for election to the county committee, will be eagerly watched all over the county.

Quinby, a wealthy real estate owner and president of the Tangier Development Company, which has holdings in Centre Moriches, L. was arrested yesterday afternoon by officials from the Department of Justice at 37 East Fifteenth street. Hysterically admitting the charge and sobbing that prison would mean her death, Mrs.

Quinby, shabbily dressed, presented a pitiable appearance when arraigned before United States Commissioner Houghton. She was given the counsel of Charles H. Griffths, and paroled on $5,000 bail. Mrs. Quinby told the Commissioner that she had accepted $1,000 after her divorce, and through her friends was given work.

Recently, however, she was unable to get a position, and had been in desperate straits. Fred J. Quinby, her former husband, is said to be very wealthy. He was at one time captain of Company Ninth Regiment, of this State. He was later discharged from the tional al Guard for being absent without leave.

MOOSE NOW SUPPORT JUDGE HUMPHREY Indorsement Made When Robert Price Bell Withdraws From Primary Race. (Special to The Eagle.) Richmond Hill, L. September 11 -At a special meeting last night of the Progressive County Committee, in the Progressive Clubhouse, here, to go over the situation after all the candidates had been designated, Robert Price Bell of Flushing declined the county judge designation, withdrawing in favor of County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey, the Democratic candidate, who was indorsed. There had been much criticism of the action of the Progressives in indorsing Bell for the county judgeship last week. The committee passed a resolution unanimously indorsing the action of Peter L.

Menninger, chairman of the executive committee, in securing signatures for Justice Callaghan for Supreme Court Justice. It was announced at the meeting last night that Mr. Menninger has Alled his petition with the names of over 300 Republicans, for the fight he will wage at the primaries to secure the Republican nomination for Asemblyman in the Fourth District, Queens. Mr. Menninger already has the Progressive indorsement.

Leonard Barthel, a Jamaica lawyer, has the Republican indorsement for Assembly, and it looks like a three-cornered fight between Menninger, Barthel and Agsemblyman George E. Polhemus, the Democratic candidate for a renomination. SPEED CREEK IMPROVEMENT Queens Chamber of Commerce Urges Appointment of Commission. The Immediate appointment of condemnation commissioners, so that title to all the land between the bulkhead lines of Flushing Creek may be vested in the city, is being strongly urged by the Chamber of Commerce of the Borough of Queens, The increased commerce that is coming to this important waterway makes this improvement imperative. During the last ten years the tonnage on this stream, which is three miles long, and flows into Flushing Bay, has increased from 143,000 to over 1,000,000 tons.

Last year the tonnage was valued at over $1,000,000, The question of the improvement has been taken up with Controller Prendergast, as a member of the Port and Terminal Committee of the Board of Estimate, and Borough President Connolly, by F. D. Thorne, chairman of the commerce committee of the Queens Chamber of Commerce. In a letter to the Controller, Mr. Thorne strongly emphasizes the reasons why condemnation commissioners should be appointed without further delay, LIBERTY AV.

September 11 -While the Republicans in the Fifth Ward are harmonious and will have but one ticket in the field on primary day, there are two factional fights on in the ranks of the Democrats, and indictions are that the fight will be a red hot one. With Joseph P.

Powers, the leader at Rockaway Beach for many years, but who was defeated last year by William F. Desmond in the hottest primary the Rockaways have yet known, lined up against Desmond, the fight at the Beach is getting to be a matter of speculation as to which of the two will be successful. Both sides are confident of success at the polls. In Far Rockaway, John Michels, the present organization leader, has an opponent in John P. Streiffler, who will give him the run of his life, it 1s said.

Streiffler is progressive and a hard fighter and will make a hustling canvass. Efforts to bring about harmony in the Democratic ranks have failed and the party will 80 to the polls on primary day split into two factions, each doing everything to bring out a big vote.

FROM SUFFOLK COUNTY. likely that the dinner may cement divided opinions, so it is not at all unlikely that some of the scraps will be entirely eliminated by declinations filed within the six days allowed by law. But a lot of the harmony at the dinner was due to the smooth seating arrangements made by former County Clerk William F. Flanagan, a member of the committee.

He was adroit in this, and no two of the combatants were embarrassed by sitting at the same table. Former Supervisor Dayton Hedges has the contract to rebuild the Quogue road, leading in to Riverhead, and is ready to go to work, but instead of having the road torn up during the count, fair he has postponed construction work for two weeks, without solicitation on the part of anyone, merely so the public, which now uses automobiles almost exclusively, in getting to the fair, may not be inconvenienced. Justice Callaghan's talk at the Get Together dinner made a fine impression on his audience and has since been favorably commented on. "Criticism has been directed against Riverhead because Republicans there presented a candidate for Clerk also, but founded," defended a theider this An In frantic tones the movie man made known the awful news, about pictures lost in transit which gave the crowd the blues. No one seemed to know of any remedy so rare that could save the night and relieve the manager of despair, except the doughty Jimmie Stiles of manner debonaire.

He sprang up from his seat and in voice translucent smote ambient air: "Good folks of Bellmore," spaketh he, "I have a motor car, it takes where I want to go no matter how far, and brings me back again without injury or mar, and now I'll go off to Freeport for some pictures, in my car." In ten short minutes the ubiquitous Jim Stiles, had traveled to Freeport, had traversed the several miles with burning speed, returning with 500 feet of reels, which he handed to the manager who had gone without his meals to try to save the night which would surely have been lost without the help of Jim -Our Jimwho nabbed them at any cost. Well, Jim "showed up" Paul Revere last night and did it mighty, nice. Within an hour's fraction had made the journey thrice and relayed the thrilling features from Freeport to Bellmore and is now acclaimed the greatest. man in town-Forevermore.

(Special to The Eagle.) Medford, L. September 11- Dissatisfied with the old corrugated iron shed in which they have been holding their meetings for a long time, freezing in winter and baking in summer, the members of the Medford Grange resolved to have a building all their own. They scraped up pennies for three years from out of their regular funds and added several lumps through entertainments, bought a fine lot and now they are started at work. This does not mean they standIng around watching a contractor do: the job. It means they have literally, dug in and are at it themselves.

The operations started Monday when there was a grand stump-pulling and digging bee in which even the women had a. hand. In that single day a lot 100 feet by 150 was cleared of all! trees except those desired for shade' and a cellar 70 feet by 30 was "The greatest piece of co-operative work ever done on Long Island," exclaimed a stranger that witnessed the job toward evening. At one time there were twenty-seven men and thirteen women actively engaged in the work, with axe, pick, shovel, stump-puller and scoops. Even the picks Hoffman and helped in his the horse carting.

and "Peter brought stumppulling outfit; Jacob Beck, a team and four husky boys. Adolph Hoffman, a real estate man, who drew the plans for the building, was foreman, but he had to work also. Schoolmaster James Westcott was on the job with a spade. Labor Day was no holiday for the Grangers. Since then the members have been putting their spare time on the work, finishing the place off, laying out gravel walks, spreading fine top soil, they saved in the digging, for flower gardens, and getting all ready for the building operations to be taken up as soon as possible.

The plans call for a substantial structure of cement blocks, which are to be made by Grangers on the premises. There will be a basement room for athletic games and a main floor for meetings and social events. The Grange Hall will be the public center for Medford, which now has nothing of the sort. It is expected that the building will cost about $1,500. Among those who are leading in the work on the building, all of whom are doing manual labor on the place this week, are Grange Master Edward C.

Wright, Mrs. Wright, John Riley, Joseph Beck, John Walker, Miss Walker, Miss Eva Henson, Miss Letitia Steelman, William Weiss, William Agricola and Miss Mattie Agricola, Carl Erhardt, Fred Harrison, Edward Newton, Hal B. Fullerton, Mrs. Fuller-, ton and the rest of the family, Charles Gallagher, William Koschara, William Gleiche, Frederick Brincks, William Larsen, Mrs. Larsen, Edward Puddenham, Adolph and Peter Hoffman and their wives, and Jacob Beck.

Besides the work on the building the Grangers are now engaged in getting together from their several farms the finest products to make an exhibit at the Suffolk County fair. They won third prize last year and hope to, do' better yet this time. HART PAYS TW FINES Speding Costs $50-Contempt of Court the Same. (Special to The Eagle.) L. September 11-4 John G.

Hart, the wealthy contractor of Ocean Parkway and Avenue Brooklyn, paid another judicial 88- sessment last night--it was $50 this time for his failure to keep within the speed limits prescribed by the automobile law. But it was not the only assessment that Hart had to separate from a healthy looking bank roll. Justice Lewis M. Raisig, before whom Hart appeared, Aned him an additional $50 for contempt of court. Hart was overhauled by Motorcycle Leroy Wicks on August 7, while he was racing along, so Wicks claimed, at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour.

He was given a summons to appear before Justice Raisig the following day. But he happened to have a court engagement in Lynbrook, so Officer Leroy says, and he neglected his appointment with Justice Raisig. Hart made no attempt to dispute the charges against him. The failure to respond to the summons, he said, was due to a sore throat, the result of being burned with carbolic acid. KING HEADS MAINTENANCE ASS'N Morris Park, L.
