Baxter today, "in suryear," excavations to the street and veys and for the purpose of locating adjoining old stone walls and fence property lines. I have been informed that many were found near the center of the highways. This ought to show that the town has no the highway.

This land at the present time be claims, is owned by private parties. Oliver Baxter owned considerable land in Port Washington.

This land included the present Baxter Estate, the land occupied by the Postoffice, Bradley's Hotel and many of the other business houses in the heart of the business section, and the tract now in dispute. At the death of Oliver Baxter, he says, the deed shows the property was divided between Robert Mitchell Baxter and Isreal Baxter, Mitchell released his interests in shore front to Isreal, including the land which Mr. Bruce, in his opinion, claims de owned by the town. The property was later conveyed to William Baxter, son of Isreal, and then William conveyed it to his wife, Sarah Baxter. She willed it to James L.

He said it was a department bill presented by the Fish, Forest and Game Commission, and a codification of all the laws were introduced under that department. He said he had asked to be on tho committee before which this measure would come, but that he was not. He said the bill was recommitted and there was no time for 8. discussion of it -hence Do record of his opposition to it. Assemblyman Wood was severely criticised at the meeting for his attitude toward the bill.

Mr. O'Keefe told of his interest in the fishermen, and promised, if elected, that he would do everything in his power to right the wrong done to the fishermen by "an unjust law." Alexander Blue, candidate for Senator of the Progressive party, suggested that a Long Island commission be formed, composed of the fishermen and huntsmen of Nassau and Suffolk -people familiar with the conditions--ready to see that bills detriinental to their best interests are defeated. Thomas Maloney, the Democratic candidate for Assembly, declared that the baymen had lost something they should have never lost. He thought Assemblyman Wood negligent. George L.

The Board of High School Trustees held a meeting at the Village Hall Thursday night, for the purpose of awarding the contract for the new building, but because of the high bids submitted, action on the awarding of the contract had to be postponed until the plans can be changed to meet the figure the board has at its disposal.

Mineola, October 12-The Board of Supervisors gave a hearing today to the citizens of the village of Sea Cliff 00 proposed continuation of the road along the shore front at Sea Cliff over a half-mile strip, where at present it is interrupted, and instead of going along turns up over a bill and passes through the village. About 300 attended the hearing, and sentiment seemed to be about equally divided between those in favor and those against the proposed change.

The Board of Supervisors took the matter under consideration and announced that they would render a decision in a few days. The continuation of the road was uniformly opposed by the residents of the village on the one hand and supported by the large land owners and automobilists on the other. The former took the stand that the building of the road would eliminate the only etretch along the entire shore where the ordinary cit1zens of Sea Cliff may now go to enjoy the water. The remainder of the shore front is taken up by the large estates or else rendered 80 objectionable by the frequent passage of automobiles 88 to render it useless for recreation purposes. Letters were received by the Board from prominent and wealthy residents, urging the building of the road.

Among them were communications from Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder, August Belmont, Dr. 0. S. Marden and F. N.

Thompson, Frederick H. Maidment made a strong speech against the proposition on the ground that the villagers 0g a whole were opposed to it. Owners of property along the half -mile strip also protested against it. County Controller John Lyon informed the Board that they had no authority in the matter anyway as the road le not a county road, and the only way to get the money for building it would be by the issuance of bonds which they had no authority to do.

October 12-The story of how Captain John Smith and Mate Herschel Worth were nearly drowned yesterday by two pairs of cumbersome rubber boots 18 a wierd one, but it nevertheless is declared by them to be absolutely true.

The total registration in Queens yesterday was 15.239, gain of 719 over the frat day of 1908, By Assembly districts the figures are 38 follows: First, Second, Third, Fourth, 618.

The women took up their station near Borough Hall, and circulated among lawyers, borough offcials and judges, workingmen, pleading their cause as they went as much by their winsome personality as by their words. The women were Mrs. R. C.

Many gave the for a single copy of the paper, take the change that was quarter to buttons also sold refusing offered.

Suffrage sarcastic flings here fairly well. There were some and there, but they came mostly from small boys, who had no conception of the of the movement. One or two meaning turned up their noses, and husband one mcen woman indignantly dragged her the scene just when he was on away from the point of buying a paper. Some of the men of accompanied their the hope that the cause purchase with fervent expressions good- -will, and would prosper. held their posts for someThe women all In all, despite the thing over two hours, and then left, declaring that, attraction of a world's series counter they had done very well.

Jamaica the sales were heavy, AS game, At they were in Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Carden City, Sea Cliff, Glen Cove, Hunt- Ington, Rockville Centre, Freeport, Babylon, Patchogue and other places. Papers Sold Rapidly in Nassau County. In Hempstead the papers were sold by Miss Elizabeth Lewis, who was a contributor to the page, assisted by Mrs. S. Smith and the members of the Brookholt branch of the Political EqualIty League.

They had two large automobiles on which were tied the colors of the Suffragists with large placards bearIng their motto, "Votes for Women," and "Special edition of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle." The automobile wended its way slowly through Main street, and the members of the club did a thriving busIness. In a short time the supply was exhausted, and the automobiles were driven rapidly to Garden City, where more papers were secured. The first stop was the Garden City Hotel, and then the main streets of the village were canvaseed. Sea Cliff and Glen Cove were also the scene of great activity. Mrs.

Ruby Douglass Evans had charge of the sale of the papers in these villages. She was also a contributor to the suffrage page, and together with Mrs. Philip Huntington of the Suffrage Study Club of Sea Cliff, disposed of the papers. A large automobile was pressed into services, and the papers were sold on the main street of the village. Some days ago the Suffrage Study Club had large cards printed advertibing the special edition of The Eagle and these cards were distributed in almost every home in Sea Cliff and Glen Cove.

H. Grifths Clapham turned over his store on one of the principal corners in the village to the use of the members of the club, and it was from this store that the papers were sold.

The automobile was then driven to Glen Cove and Glen street, the principal street of the village, was thoroughly canvassed. 250 BLUES IN AN HOUR.

Remarkable Catch at Patchogue. Record Run of Fish. (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. October 12-Never in the memory of veteran Ashermen have bluefish been running in such large quantities and size as at the present time. The greatest catch known to the history of this village was brought fu Thursday right by Capt.

Jeph Gordon, Capt. John Smith, Heschel Worth and Charles Satterlee. These four men in yesterday landed 250 bluefish squid Withour and line and the fish averaged ten to seventeen pounds each. The manner in which the fish were caught 1s remarkable. The fishermen stood on the beach and threw their lines about thirty feet into the surf, nearly every cast bringing one of these large fish.

So thick were the fish along the beach that Captain Smith lost three nets of 1,500 feet each, the quantity of fish being 80 large that they tore through the nets unchecked. All Ashermen of the vicinity have made a rush for the beach today. MILLION BOOKS READ IN QUEENS Queens Borough Public Library Now stands Fourteenth in List of U.S. Libraries. BROOKLYN STANDS SECOND.

Ridgewood Wants Representation on Board of Library Trustees-Appointments Made. At a meeting last night of the Board of Trustees of the Queens Borough Public Library, held at 402 Fulton street, Jamaica, it was reported that the circulation in Queens for the year ending June 30, 1912, had passed a million total, reaching 1,037,749 volumes, and that an inquiry had been made of the circulation of the hundred largest libraries in the United States during 1911, showing that the Queens Borough Public Library stands fourteenth on the list, the New York Public Library being first and the Brooklyn Public Library second. Requests that the Ridgewood section of Queens Borough be represented on the Board of Trustees and that an appointment from that section be made when the next vacancy occurs were received from the Evergreen Board of Trade and ex-Alderman George Emener. The latter, in his letter to the board, suggests that the name of George Schubel, a Ridgewood newspaper man, be considered. Chairman F.

W. Mar appointed a nominating committee to take up the matter and report at the next meeting. It was stated at the meeting that John T. Robinson of Elmhurst, who was recently appointed a member of the board, practically took in the Ridgewood section, but all the trustees present agreed, that Ridgewood, which hag become the most thickly populated locality in Queens, deserves to be represented board also directly. passed a resolution for the appointment of Miss Anita Pettus as a Grade assistant, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Carrington, at a salary of $480 per annum.

Miss Hume, the chief librarian, who appeared before the Board of Estimate committee, on Thursday, in the matter of increased appropriations for the Queens Borough Library in the budget of 1913, reported that she discussed the varlious matters with the committee, but that nothin had been positively decided upon and that no report is yet available. Among the recommendations of the library trustees is that an appropriation be made for the appointment of a man of wide experience and of culture as director for the Queens Borough Library at a salary of $6,000 per annum. It is also asked that there be included in the 1913 budget salary increases for the different grades in the library service and fore appropriations to make possible the creation of new positions. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS Party workers at the county seat are overjoyed to find there will be vote taken on the license questions at the town meeting this fall. At every such election for many years the license or no license controversy has in a greater or less measure overshadowed real political questions.

Candidates had to be very careful how they committed themselves concerning that agitation, and it has caused leaders to sit up nights to devise ways to handle the campaign suecessfully without running afoul of a perplexing situation. Many have long argued that the license matters should be voted on at a time separate from the election of officers, for the good of all concerned. With all of the other perplexing political questions this year it WAS feared that the antis would again demand a vote on "wet" or "dry," but they have failed to fle a petition, so no vote will be taken, the town will remain "wet" for two years to come, and the leaders will not have that situation to consider. So they're happy and relieved. Richardson, the popular town clerk of Tellp, who the Democratic nominee for County Clerk this fall.

History of the Old Hose Carriage. The Degrauw hose carriage was private property and therefore was not turned over to the city at consolidation, as some of the department apparatus were.

They secured a two-wheel hose cart from the city and located temporarily in the Tombs, at Elm Leonard streets, and later, in 1853, secured a location at Manhattan lane and Elm street, and built what was then considered a fine house. and continued in service at this site until the end of the volunteer department In New York in GOVERNMENT'S ODD STAND.

Riverheaders Can't Figure Why Mail Carrier Isn't Named. Riverhead, L. October 12-Although the postal authorities have an eligible list from which to appoint a rural free delivery mail carrier out of the Riverhead post office, and the time of the former regular carrier expired October 1, the appointment is still held up for some reason. Postmaster Lane received an odd command the other day. "If you cannot And a satisfactory temporary carrier discontinue the "route," write his superiors, In effect.

This is considered very queer In view of the eligible list before the authorities in Washington, a list that was prepared a long time ago. Postmaster Lane is doing all he can to keep the route in operation and has Ted Lewis acting as temporary carrier now, but the patrons of the route would feel whole lot easier it the government would hurry up and make a permanent suggested that the appointment. parcels post situation has something to do with the matter.

FROM SUFFOLK COUNTY eral others signed merely to "keep peace in the family," too, that others of Thunderous Theodore's followers are backsliding they have been converted back to first principles by public speakers. Thomas J. Furey, lately removed by Sheriff Brush as warden of the county jail, who contemplated a legal action to retain his job, has virtually decided to quit, and has handed over his keys.

He has learned that the Civil Service Commission has approved of the appointment of George H. Conklin 88 warden and Arthur J. Howell as keeper, and has placed their names on the payroll, hence Mr. Fuery believes it would be futile to endeavor to get his job back because he was supposedly protected by the Civil Service and had been removed without hearing. As a matter of fact the Civil Service seems to be of little account in keeping a man in office when the appointive power gets ready to name another to draw the salary, The Riverhead Bull Mooses have de- aided no town ticket this year.

As matter of fact most of the Bull Moose leaders do not expect to do much for any place on the tieket except the first two. Apparently, a majority of the Moose Intend to vote ether the Republican or the Democratic tickets as to more local issues, and on the other hand, Frank J. Davis, Moose nominee for County Judge, stated as a positive fact Thursday that he would have 9,000 votes in the county. If this is true the other candidates might better quit now and save their money and energy, for there len't but about 6,000 votes left for all of the others combined.

But nobody except Mr. Davis is taking his statement very seriously, and after he has campaigned in Suffolk once or twice more he will learn that not all promises are votes. A man not generally recognized as a politician any sense of the word told Eagle reporter yesterday that in one small village well down toward the easteff fork of south shore he learned eighteen Democrats whol stated that they intended to vote for Abertson, the Republican nominee, for County Clerk. Albertson, always popular, seems to be gaining additional popularity, and there's lots of people in the county who always like to be on the band wagon, no matter which party is driving It--that is, they always like to land with the winners. "Doc" Cornwell of Riverhead is in a terrible predicament.

He doesn't know where he is at. For fifty years he has been a consistent Democrat. For thirtyfive years he has been running for office (always coroner) and never yet has he caught one. Nominated for coroner again this year, he started out to make an aggressive campaign, but suddenly he was converted by former Speaker Wadsworth's lecture lo Riverhead, and has declared that he is going to vote for Taft. sequently he endeavored to decline his nomination, but a friend in the Election Commissioners office talked him out of It.

Now he says he doesn't hardly know what to do-he would like to vote for Taft and he would like to be elected coroner. The Republicans In the vicinity of Riverhead declare that James W. worth did more to strengthen the Repub- lican tieket, when he spoke here last week, than anything yet injected into the county campaign.

The Republicans declare that he was one of the most convincing speakers ever heard in a 'Suffolk campaign. It is understood that leaders will seek to have him speak in other county villages. 11 there is one man who 18 working hard for Republican success in this county it 18 Dr. William Carr, chairman of the Suffolk County Republican Committoe.
