May 7 The residents of Hempstead Village have been seriously annoyed by the rowdyism of tha members of the artillery companies who are encamped on Hempstead Plains and yesterday Chief of Police Robert Vandewater complained to Colonel Adelbert Cronkhite, who Is in command of the Fort Totten troops. The fracas that culminated in tha complaint waa the attack made upon Officer Winneld Combs ot the Hempstead police by a number of soldiers last evening. A number of men in uniform were loitering on Main street when they were told by Officer Combs to desist from making excessive noise. In it moment about twenty ot the men surrounded the officer and threatened to attack him.

He drew his revolver and a number of pedestrians hastily left the street as they feared an exchange of shots. The officer was reinforced by Patrolman George Cornell and tha soldiers were finally persuaded to move on. Ever since last Saturday when the men arrived at Hempstead they have been a source of trouble and many women have been accosted on the streets. Patrolman Jesse Baldwin had difficulty in maintaining order tn the south end of the village and after consultation with the village authorities Chief Vandewater made the complaint to Colonel Cronkhite, and asked that men be either not allowed to leave the camp (Special to The Eagle.)

He found that the house had been broken into and looted. This is one more added to the series of robberies of summer cottages that have been recently discovered, among them the homes of Elmer Urandin, the actor, which is situated on West Lake; Henry Schneider, Brooklyn, whose place is on Bay avenue, and the Wavorley avenue summer home of Lieutenant Fox of Brooklyn.

Supervisor Hiram R. Smith is now having the Merrick road from the City Line to Rockville Centre rebuilt, and upon its completion it will be one of the best thoroughfares on Long Island. In addition to this work the entire county road system in Hempstead Town is being thoroughly repaired.

The Nassau road from Freeport to Roosevelt is now being macadamized, as. is also the Christian Hook road. The Long Beach avenue, which is probably one of the heaviest traveled road in this section of Long Island is being placed in readiness for the heavy demands of the summer season.

John L. Klages, who headed the fight for the Jackson avenue subway, proved to be a good loser when seen this morning. "I always was for rapid transit for the Borough of Queens, but I preferred a subway to the elevated structure," he said. "I feel that the elevated line in front of our homes will depreciate their value as first class residences, as it has done on West Third street, Manhattan, where the Sixth avenue elevated road turns Into South Fifth street, and also as along Fifty-third street, where the Sixth avenue road makes its way to Ninth avenue.
