Mr. Stolte informed a reporter of The Eagle that he would probably give out a statement within a few days. ASKS WHITES FOR PATIENCE. FIRST DROVE WATER PIPE. Mr.

Bush Makes a Correction of a Former Statement. The Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: The Eagle of August 22 stated that the South Aqueduct Pump and Hose Volunteer Flro Department were the first to drive pipes and use water for fire purposes. This Is not true, as the Venetia Pump and Hose Company No. 1 of Aqueduct had before this time put down several driven wells, and had used them for fire tests. This was long before the company men tioned in The Eagle had driven any of their weils.

This can be vouched for by a great many people In that section. Verv truly yours, JOHN H. Bl'SH. HUSSEY TO BE IN CHARGE. Long Island Postal Savings Bank Will Open September 1.

August 28 The cottage of Mrs. Augustus Thomas, Georgica, was the scene of a very Inter- estlng concert on Saturday afteraoooi, when several talented artists rendered a fine musical programme that delighted Mrs.

Thomas' guests on that occasion. The artists were Miss Clara Rablnowltz, who possesses exceptional ability: Miss Grace Freeman, a well-known Callfor-nian, and Miss Eltzaheth Ames of THEY HAVE RETAINED LAWYER Will Endeavor to Restrain the Contractors From Laying Granite Blocks on Broadway. The Flushing property owners who appeared at the hearing before President Oresser on Friday, to protest against the paving of Broadway with granite blocks, are In in arms. Yesterday thev held a continuous conference. They were not certain whether they could defeat the will of the borough officials, but they were positive of one thing that President Gresaer had not told the exact truth when he said on Scturday, as reported in yesterday's Eagle, that he had given the committee no promises that be would not sign the contract for the paving until today.

Twenty-five of these property owners, who were present at the session on Friday, have made affidavits that they heard Mr. Grosser distinctly say that he would withhold his award until today. They have deckled to act, and not give up until they are convinced that further nnnnnlMrin la Th.V hllVM retained Lawyer Merwln Russell, who has an office at ao Nassau street, Manhattan, to apply for an Injunction to restrain Mullen who was awarded the contract for to pave the from Murray street to Bay Side. The property owners claim that Broadway is the main thoroughfare from the Queens Borough Bridge to Montauk, and that to pave any part of It with granite blocks would be to Injure tha whole. The avenue Is used by every person la the city coming from and going to Manhattan In automobile or carriage.

It Is a beautiful avenue, and the Flushing people are proud of It. They do not want It destroyed, either by granite blocks, as they claim would be the case, or by any other means. It Is now a macadam road, and they are willing that It should continue such, although It needs repairing. They would prefer to have It asphalted. But whatever the material, they do not want granite blocks.

GOOD WATER AT RIVERHEAD. New Wells Have Been Sunk Some Distance From Town. Rverhead, L. August 28 The Rl-erhead Water Company now has its new wells In operation and la providing better water than ever before la Its history. Four tubular wells, six Inches In diameter, hnve been sunk.

A suction line running from them to the power house, feet away, was constructed of ten-Inch pipe with walls over a half Inch thick. Each of the six-foot lengths 10 It weigh over 500 pounds. it was necessary to lay this pipe line through two dams and under a pond, but the work was successfully accomplished by A. F. Sergeant, a young man living In Rlverhead.

under the direction of Superintendent Griftlng of the company. The resourcefulness of Mr. Sergeant is shown In the workmanlike way In which he completed the Job under such difficulties as were encountered. At some sections the pipe had to be laid In trenches ovsr twelve feet deep, under water and through mud Into which the workmen sank up to their waists. The great fault with the water previously was In the fact that It oxidised as soon as It struck the air.

While It was pure enough the high coloring wasn't to the liking of patrons; now, only short distance from the old wells, but On the other side of the river, there Is found a water course where the water Is practically colorless, there being hardly any oxidization. BAY HEAD Y. C. BARN DANCE. Meadowmere Sojourners Voted the Affair Most Enjoyable.

The Bay Head Tacht Clubhouse at Meadowmere Park, L. was the scene Saturday evening of an enjoyable oldV fashioned bnrndance. In which nearly all the residents of the pretty little bungalow hamlet of Jamaica Bay, between Jamaica and Far Rockaway, participated. About 250 "Keubens" and "Cynthlas," arrayed in ginghams and homespuns and with hroadhrlmmed "straws" and sun-bnnents, revived the old-time dances. The Nantucket and the Virginia reel were the most popular.

Some of ihe young women wore hoop-skirts and others had hobbles, representing the ancient and the modern garb of the female country folk. The men, for the most part, wore overalls and had varicolored bandanna handkerchiefs tied about their necks. The prize for the moat rubelike costume among the men went to Otto Muhl-hauer, a well-known Brooklyn business man. His wife, who wore a hoopsklrt, was awarded the prize for being the best-drrssed "country gal." The ballroom nt the clubhouse was tastefully decorated with cornhusks, wild flowers, straw and hay. Japanese lanterns furnished the Illumination.

To L-lve to the old-fashioned bam scene further touch of realism, two live chlck- were nllowed to rooat In one corner. Charles Meyer, developer of the Meadowmere Park section, and one of the prominent summer residents there, wanted to Introduce a cow Into the scene, but this was Impossible because of the fact that "bossy" refused to climb up tha stalr- ase to the second floor, where the ball room is located. It was midnight when the dancers re turned to their bungalows, voting the af fair the most enjoyable they had yet attended this season. Among those who attended were: Mr and Mrs. Krtpte.

Murray of this vil lage and guided by ex-Congressman William Wlllett, ol Far Rockaway, made a successful raid on a gambling den at Hewlett. L.

early esterday morning, and confiscated roulette wheels, faro layouts, chips and other gambling para-jphernalla, valued at about 2,500. The raid is the second within a week on the same place. County Detective George Tydeman and shelrffs mads a fruitless attempt to "get" the place, which adjoins the fashlnable Holly Arms Hotel, a week ago, but the Intended raid became pub lic, and when the detectives arrived not a sign of gambler or gambling outfit 'could be found. Clarence Fellows, of Hewlett, said Ao be proprietor of the plaoe, and "Tom" Mulligan were taken into custody on "John Doe" warrants, issued by Justice of the Peace Charles F. Gittens of Hemp stead, by Tydeman and his men.

The warrants had been issued on the strength .1 ITn.nM TA711- vi imuriuuLiuu given UJ a. Hams and Adolph E. Ganter, both of urooKiyn, wno maos swura Bittieuieuia that on August 12 they entered the place, purchased $20 worth of chips and gambled until their funds were exhausted. Both men were held In tl.000 ball for trial. Other warrants will in all probability be served on Fellows and Mulligan before their eases are disposed of.

Obtained Saturday Night. The raid yesterday morning was made 'ever the heads of the county authorities. The search warrant was not issued until iafter 9 o'clock on Saturday night, when a party, including ex-Congressman Wlllett, called at the home of Justice Scudder, at Glen Head. It is understood that khe Information furnished the Justice implicated several county officers. The warrant was turned over to Constable Murray about midnighf, and with several local officers, including Chief of Police A.

B. Wallace, J. J. Dunbar, ex-warden of the County Jail and captain of the Freeport police, left in an automobile for Hewlett. Notification was sent to Lawrence, Far Rockaway, Cedarhurst and Inwood, and detectives and police from those places Joined the raiding party at Valley Stream.

A society dance was In progress at the Holly Arms Hotel when the automobiles 'arrived, and the commotion caused by ithelr arrival brought many to the piazzas land even to the doorway of the little type of structure to the south of the hotel. Although it was pouring rain, fully 300 stood without as the otn-cers searched the place. Upon their arrival, a lookout at the 1 door of the cottage attempted to prevent them from entering, and as Chief Wallace mounted the steps he backed to the door and pressed a button as a warn-' 1 ing to those within. He informed the officers that at the time of the previous raid a warning had been given In ad-' vance, and that they were prepared for the arrival of the detectives. House Sumptuously Furnished.

The place is a Bumptuously fitted cottage to the south of the Holly Arms Hotel and accessible only through a narrow automobile driveway. The building, itself, which contains but one floor, is fitted with windowless corridors, which encompass the gambling room. A sheet metal entrance leads to this circular corridor. It was built during the early spring. As the officers entered there was a i scurrying of feet within and the circular corridor was quickly filled with fleeing men.

but their attempts to escape were frustrated, for at every window a man was stationed, and at the direction of ex-Congressman Wlllett several policemen were at each of the two entrances to the building. Many had evidently not heard the warning bell, for as Constable Murray, Chief Wallace, Captain Dunbar and Walter B. Cozzens of Freeport entered the room, two roulette wheels were still in motion and a faro game was In progress. The "pea" had fallen In compartment No. 16 In the table, Chief Wallace found, ana a smooth gentleman representing the "house" was raking In chips from the board.

Captain Dunbar found an enthusiastic group at the faro table. Men Found on Premises Were From Manhattan. Although no arrests were made, the names of eleven men who were actually engaged In playing were taken by the officers. Among them were: James G. Harding, 7 Great Jones street; J.

The solution of every one of these problems rests In each person Id his own time doing his full duty as hs sees It. "The biggest problem In this country today is a racial one, for we And tbe peculiar condition of a nation within a nation. The colored population, almost twice as large as the population of Canada, Is as an American race a new raoe, strong and virile, and with Its fu ture all before it.

It Is the great pnvl lege of the American people to take ten millions of people and mold them In character to make good and worthy cltl zens." Dr. Washington then sketched briefly his own life, saying he was not sure of tbe date of his birth, but thought it was in 1858 or 1S59. He was born in slav ery and his first recollection of his youth was the squalid surroundings of the cabin in which he lived. "After the treeing of the slaves." he continued, "I was working in the coal mines, when I heard from the other miners of a school where negro boys were welcome and where they were taught useful trades. Filled with a desire to know more of the place, I walked to Hampton Institute, in Virginia for that was the school; and, being admitted, I worked my way through.

"It was in 1881 that Tuskegee Institute was founded. I was the only teacher for the thirty students, and the schoolhouse was an old shack, 12x14 feet. Now we have 2,600 students, and the trustees own and control 3.000 acres of land, on which are 96 buildings, built almost entirely by the students. Our property is valued at $1,000,000, and there is not a cent of fixed indebtedness. "The institution was started with definite purposes, and to that end I spent several months in travel among the negroes of the South, Btudylng their physical, mental and moral condition.

I found them tremendously anxious for an education, but It was in order that they might not have to work with their hands. They had worked in slavery, and they thought It a disgrace for an educated person to work with his hands. "I determined then that the school should be Industrial; that we should teach, not but plain farming, together with useful trades, and th' for the girls there should be courses In cooking, sewing, not dignified by tin; name of 'domestic Our announcement to that effect brought a storm of protest from every side. Parents came to me and ssrtd they wanted their children to study books 'and big books, at that." They had an idea that the bigger and more expensive the books were, the better would be the education. "The prejudice against labor Is disappearing, and negro education today is producing a far better type than that of a few years ago.

"The negro race today Is young, and allowances have to be made for Its foolishness as a young race, Just as we make allowances for young Individuals. The negro race appears at a disadvantage because you compare the negro with tbo highest degree of civilization on earth. We do not appear to advantage among the American people, while In a Latin or an Oriental civilization we could better hold our own. When we can keen up with the American people, there will be none ahead of us. "In closing, I would like to remind you that never In the history of our race hnve we made a demand on the United States for food or clothing.

Our only demand, as a race, has been for aid In education. We have our problem, but for one, rejoice in that problem, and I believe that its solution la near at hand." CHILDREN'S DAY THURSDAY.

HELD FDR FATHER'S DEATH Polish Laborer and His Son Fought Father First Made Attack. Coroner Gustave J. Schaefer Is Investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, yesterday morning, ol Albert Zuk, a Polish laborer, 50 years old, of 13 Humboldt Boulevard, Jamaica. The man had had an altercation Saturday night with his son, Joseph, 24 years old, and had been beaten. The son Is under arrest on a techlncal charge of homicide.

An autopsy by Coroner's Physician William H. Namtnack will establish whether Zuk died as the result of Injuries or from apoplexy or heart failure. According to the story told the coroner by Joseph, his father resented very much the fact that the young man had taken unto hlmseif a wife. Father and son quarreled frequently over this. Before his marriage Joseph had given bis father a goodly share of his wages.

Saturday night, Joseph said, he went out to visit his uncle, a saloonkeeper on Rockaway road. When he returned to his home, later in the evening, he found his father under the Influence of liquor and unusually quarrelsome: Zuk remonstrated with bis son for spending so much money outside, and struck him. Joseph seized a club and defended himself. During the scuffle both men were severely injured. Joseph said he fled to his room upstairs, his father threatening to kill him.

Later, Joseph ran from the house. He stayed out all night. When he returned yesterday morning he learned that his father was in a serious condition. He summoned Drs. Wood and Wicks, but when they arrived.

Zuk, the elder, was dead. When Detectives Capons and Ennis arrived. Joseph offered no resistance, but accompanied the officers quietly to the Jamaica Btatlon house. Coroner Schaefer, from a cursory examination, believed that Zuk had died from apoplexy or heart failure from the intense excitement. Joseph Zuk was held for examination In the Jamaica police court today.

Late last night the Jamaica police arrested Frank Komiskl, son-in-law of the dead man, who, It is said, urged tus son to give his father a severe beating. Coroner's Physician Dr. William H. Nammack performed an autopsy on the body of Zuk this morning, and he found that the cause of the man's death had been cerebral hemorrhage, due to a fall. Dr.

Nammack also found cinders In a wound on the dead man's check.
