BANDITS TAKE AUTO; THEN I ROB MERCHANT Three Men Arrested an Hour Later Are Held on Fortune's Identification. Within an hour after three men had held up John Fortune, proprietor of a small candy and cigar store on Jackson between 3d and 4th Long Island City, yesterday afternoon, they were under arrest and identified in the Hunters Point precinct by Fortune. They gave the names of Patrick Reilly, 25 years old, longshoreman, of 105 Frand Patrick, Skiffington, 29 years, a watchman, 750 Boulevard, and Frank Holt, 25 years old, a clerk, of 389 Sherman all of Long Island City.

They will arraigned before Magistrate Conway in the Long Island City court today. Fortune was in his store about 3:30 o'clock when an automobile stopped in front of his place. There were five men in the automobile and three of them got out and walked into the store. Fortune met them and they told him, so he says, they were members of the police department and wanted to make an inspection of his place. One of them flashed some kind of a shield.

Fortune permitted them to go about his place and after the. inspection one of the men told him they would make it' all right if he would pay them $10. Fortune says he told them that he did not have that much. "Well, we will take your cash box," said one of the men. The fellow took the box which had been located behind the counter during the inspection.

Fortune said that the box contained between $7 and small change. Soon after the holdup occurred Fortune telephoned occurrence to the Hunters Point Detective Bureau and Detectives John Hurton and William Weisenstein were just leaving on the case when a man drove up in an automobile. He told the detectives that he was driving along a street in Astoria when three men asked him for a ride. They told him that they had some business at a store on Jackson avenue and directed him to Fortune's place. They asked him to wait outside until they came out.

He did so, but when he saw what they did he took them to a saloon at Broadway and the Boulevard in the Astoria section. where he left them. He immediately came to detective headquarters and reported the incident. The two detectives got into the automobile and were driven to the saloon, where they found the three men now in custody and placed them under arrest. The three men were then lined un with a number of other men and Fortune picked them out as those who had robbed him.

When the men were searched at the station house a lot of change in dimes and 1 nickels were found in their nockets. Fortune said all of his money that was in his cash box was of these denominations. CHURCH BUYS CANTEEN. Bellmore, L. Oct.

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS FROM QUEENS COUNTY Political leaders and the managers of the campaigns of candidates in Queens at both the Republican and Democratic headquarters are trying to figure out just how they are going to finish their campaigns without the use of printed matter. The next two weeks of the present campaign corresponds with the periods in other campaigns when the greatest energy was expended, in the sendididates in literature. Queens were fortunate enough to get their orders for printing executed before the strike of the printers tied up the printing plants. They are now considering themselves as particularly fortunate. The bulk of the candidates as well as the two committees have their orders with the printers, but they cannot get them executed.

There is so little money in the campaign treasuries this year that the politicians and candidates are rather glad that they can limit their expenditures in this regard. At least two of the municipal candidates have enlisted the services of a corps of typewriters, and this coming week they will get into the mails quantities of typewritten and mimeograph appeals. Secretary Peter P. Campbell, at Republican headquarters, and Bernard Patten, at Democratic headquarters, are making the final arrangements for the meetings that are to be held from now until election. The Democrats start off with a big rally at the toria Casino tomorrow night.

Following that, meetings are to be held in all of the Assembly districts, one night being given to each district. The Republicans will have to double up in their meetings because their principal candidates, Congressman La Guardia and Alderman Squier, can be in Queens but three nights. The dates for these meetings will be announced this week. Senator Patten, who is in charge of the Democratic speaker's bureau, says he feels satisfied that even if he is compelled to depend upon local talent he will have speakers who will give interesting talks and be able to liven things up. On his list for the meetings arranged are Borough President Con- nolly, Congressman Charles Pope Caldwell.

Public Works Commissioner Frank X. Sullivan, Borough Secretary Joseph Flanagan, Thomas F. Dwyer, Edward J. Keily, Assistant Corporation Counsel Frank T. Higgins, Peter M.

Daly and Thomas C. Kadien Jr. Senator Patten finds sufficient trials and tribulations at the speakers' bureau to keep him worried, but occasionally he has something happen to liven things up and chase the clouds away. One such occasion happened recently when a communication was received in the form of an acceptance from John M. Phillips, well known as "Jack" Phillips, Sam Brock and Andrew Zorn to jointly address a series of meetings to be held throughout the county.

The head of the speakers' bureau was endeavoring to satisfy his own mind as to just what it all meant when he came to realize that the letter was that of a practical joker. Some of those who heard of the communication declared that if these three men would agree to go out and address meetings they would undoubtedly be greeted by about as large audiences as any of the regular speakers could command. Sufficient to say, however, that the three men are all modest and retiring. and they will not be heard in any public oratorical efforts this year. The women Democrats are becoming very practical.

This was evidenced by the action taken by the women's executive committee this week when they passed resolutions requesting the members of the Legislature this next winter to pass an amendment to the election law changing the hours when women can register. In the resolution it was asked that the hours be made from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 5 o'clock. It was pointed out that at the present time the hours from 5 until 10:30 o'clock are those when the housewife is getting the evening meal for her family and later putting the children to bed and that after this work is done the woman of the house is not much inclined to get dressed up and go out and register. On the other hand hours earlier in the afternoon would be about right for her. Several of the candidates for the Legislature have written the women that they favor this change.

McKennee, and his deputy, John Wagner. The two Commissioners are busy preparing the jury lists. Every political captain and every man who says that he knows either of the two men is besieged by dozens of men who want to have their names kept off the jury lists.

The result is that hundreds of requests are made to the Commissioners each day. It is said that if the Commissioners kept a record of all the excuses that are made to them they would have book without a paralle. con Commissioner McKennee has decided that there is but one way to escape the many entreaties made him and that is to on adhere strictly to the law and exempt only those who have legal excuses or who for some other reason indicate that they would not be desirable men to have on a. jury. Congressman Charles Pope Caldwell has arranged matters at Washington SO that he will be able to spend a number of days in Queens from now until election.

After making several speeches he goes back to Washington but then returns again in a day or so. When he asked this past week what was transpiring at the National tal of interest to Queens he said that there is so much of nation and worldwide importance receiving the consideration of Congress that there was little time for matters of local concern. However, he had been progressing matters that affected his district and it was his belief that Queens and Long Island would get some consideration this year. Census Supervisor Rodman Richard. son is making strenuous efforts to get his plans for operating his bureau into working order.

He will be able in a week or so to announce some appointments to his staff. He will name those whose services will be necessary in organizing the big staff of enumerators.

Attorneys who argued the appeal before the Court of Appeals in Albany from the decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn directing that an election for Sheriff in Queens be held this fall returned yesterday. The argument was before the Court on Friday. Richard S. Newcombe appeared for the Queens Democratic organization, W. E.

Mayer, Assistant Corporation Counsel of New York City, appeared for the Board of Elections and Attorney Charles Froesel appeared for Sheriff Samuel Mitchell of Queens. At the conclusion of the argument the Court indicated that it would hand down a decision early this coming week. If that is done, there will be sufficient time to prepare the ballots for the election, provided one is offered. When Attorney Froesel was seen yesterday he said: "The position of Sheriff Mitchell in this legal contest is somewhat misunderstood. The Sheriff is in no wise concerned whether or not an election shall be held this year.

He is concerned, however, in maintaining the point that he was elected for a threeyear term and that he will not go out of office until Jan. 23. Viewed in that light, Sheriff Mitchell has been successful in both the decision handed down by Justice Faber and by the Appellate Division. In the opinion of Justice Faber it was definitely stated that the Sheriff had been elected for a term of three years and that he would not go out of office until Jan. 23.

The Appellate Division, while reversing Justice Faber SO far as to the holding of an election, did not say anything about when Sheriff Mitchell should go out of office, and so apparently affirmed the deciscion of Justice Faber. "In presenting the matter to the Court of Appeals we especially asked that some decision be given on this matter, and the Court gave close attention to our arguments, and we believe that the decision which will be handed down will state definitely and finally when the term will end. "It is our contention that, if the term of Sheriff Mitchell does not end until the time that has been fixed by Justice Faber, then no election can be held this fall, be because the law distinctly states that a Sheriff elected in November must take office on Jan. 1. Sheriff Mitchell will be in office then, if the court upholds our contention.

and, hence, there will be no office for the man elected to fill." Attorney Richard S. Newcombe in his arguments to the Court urged that the term of Sheriff Mitchell would end on Jan. 1 at the date the man elected in November would be eligible to take office. Assistant Corporation Counsel Mayer also argued for the ending of Sheriff Mitchell's term on Jan. 1.

Port Jefferson, L. October 18-According to State Sanitary Supervisor Frank Overton, the typhoid epidemic Port Jefferson seems to be at an end.

Since September 28 there have been no new cases reported to the health authorities, and all of those cases known be typhoid fever cases are doing nicely, the patients are all on road to recovery. In his report of the sanitary conditions at Port Jefferson, which has been mailed to Charles A. Squires, president of the Port Jefferson Business Men's Association, Dr. Overton says there is needed at once the construction of a tidegate at the outlet of the village drain which runs through the block between Jones and Main sts. At high tide the harbor water backs up at this point and floods the north end of the block.

Dr. Overton says that the known cases of typhoid in Port Jefferson may be divided into three groups: 1-A group in the summer bungalow colony on the west side of the harbor. The first known case in this group was that of a woman who came from Norwalk, on August 30, sick with typhoid, and has since died. All the known cases in that group were closely associated with one There have been about twelve cases in famlilies with two known deaths besides that of the first case. All of these cases developed out of Port Jefferson, and none seemed to have any relation to the other groups of cases.

2-A group of seven cases occurred at Setauket. One was man a living near Old Field, who probably contracted his disease from his brother, who came from Newburgh sick with typhoid. The other cases, six in number, were school children, and the only suspected source was the Labor Day parade. No history of a common association can be found. 3-A group of 14 cases has occurred iu Port Jefferson village.

The history of all the cases have been minutely investigated, but no common definite source has. been established. However, a number of persons who had during past years have been found, typhoid toof "walking typhoid" during the gether with some who had he mild signs summer and fall. Speaking of this last group, Dr. Overton says that the sewer under construction in the village will remedy the worst of these conditions when it is put into operation.

He says that the restaurants and ice cream parlors will also remain as possible sources of infection, and he advises the continuance of the work of controlling tho public eating places. AVE MASPETH CREEK in this street. This claim has been disputed by the Queens officials and Borough President Connolly has insisted that the buildings be removed from the street. The stand of the Borough President has been very earnestly supported by the members of the Laurel Hill Improvement Association.

This street, according to the plans of the company, will be 70 feet wide and will extend from the Laurel Hill Boulevard to the present Rust st. Regular Republican Nominee for Supervisor Town of Hempstead Mr. Doughty is an advocate of good roads.

His election means a large revenue to the town for G. WILBUR DOUGHTY roads. county Vote for G. Wilbur Doughty Borough officials in Queens now have under consideration a proposition from the Nichols Copper Company dedicate the necessary land and lay out and improve a new street in the Laurel Hill section in return for a surrender to that company of all the right and title of the city to Creek st. The proposal of the company is the offer of a gift involving the expenditure of at least $220,000.

This offer of the company has come about through an agitation that has At the latter point it will have a direct connection with Betts, Maurice and Maspeth aves. which will give a direct route to Ridgewood and East New York. From a real estate standpoint the offer is of much importance because the new 1. street will extend through a section immediately Newtown Creek and adjacent to one that is thou ripe for industrial will also give a route development. between the Ridgewood section and Long Island City.

The industrial development of the Long Island by the City section will be greatly, aided construction of a trolley line over this route, as it will tap the big population in Ridgewood and East New York sections and give a new field from which to draw employees. Engineers of Queens will shortly make a report to Borough President Connolly upon the proposition and will suggest any changes that may be advisible. After this report has been received the whole matter will be given a public hearing before the Newtown Local Board, where the property owners can give expression to their opinions as to the advisability of accepting the offer..
