Victoria Says Flynn Is Responsible for Plight of "Four Men in a Boat." (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. November 18-Marooned on a sunken sloop in the middle of Peconie River, this place, with the tide slowly rising inch by inch around their feet and thence up to their waists, and with the wind blowing a howling nor'easter, was the unhappy lot of an Irishman, a negro, a Polishman and an American on Saturday. To them it was a thrilling episode for several hours. Finally the American rescued his companions with a display of nerve courage and in a way that was melodramatic as well. The parties in this play are Joseph Victoria, a saloonkeeper; Dan Young, a negro; "Irish" Moore and Charles Rich.

"The latter three are "celebrities" in town. So much for the scenario. Now for the details of the plot. Joe bought the small sloop Lottie B. for $150.

She had a "slight" leak, according to the person who sold her to Jce, and was anchored off Howell's dock, where she promptly sank. Joe didn't think the leak amounted to much, SO he hired the three men named to go down and bail her out, and hired "El' Flynn to go down in his motorboat to tow the craft up the stream after she had been bailed out. "El' took all hands down on his motorboat and landed them on the ship when the tide was low, but wag beginning to rise. This was early in the morning. Three of Joe's assistants had fortified themselves with stuff that is said to warm and cheer the inner man.

All hands began to bail diligently. They made no headway, for the leak was worse than supposed, and no matter how fast they bailed the water gained inside the little ship, which was resting on the bottom. Dan Has an Inspiration. "Say, dar, Joe, youse 'spect us to bail dis yare hull riber, I guess," finally declared Dan. "As fast as we bail it outen de inside it comes in again frou de bottom.

I'm a-gwine to quit. D.ts what dis chicken am." And Dan laid down his pail. About the same thing regarding the situation had dawned on the rest of them, too, so they all quit. Joe was quite put out. "Vell, leave him here.

and come back sometime, maybe," he decided. back to Riverhead," he remarked, turning to the owner of the motor, the only dry thing in sight. "Nobody gits in this here boat till you ray me the $2 you promised," was "El's" ultimatum. He declared that Joe had hired him for the day and was to pay him, regardless of whether he towed the boat to Riverhead or not. Joe's understanding of it was that it he didn't get towed to Riverhead he was to pay nothing.

But "El' had the whip hand, SO to speak. He was obdurate, and he shoved the dry motorboat off from the sunken sloop and sat there and grinned at the fellows getting wetter and wetter and madder and madder. The language of the three 011 the sloop is unprintable. And finally Joe, being obstinate about the money, and "El" about letting him use the motor, "El' sailed away to Riverhead. go me to Greenport this minute to lay charges against you py de customs house," wrathfully shouted "Start right away," tantalizingly wafted back "El." And being as how Joe had no way of getting ashore and no wireless aboard, it did look as though his threat was somewhat ill timed.

Prospects of a Future World, Then an hour or so later, after the tide had begun to wash the roof of the little cabin Joe began to get nervous about the future. "Ve'll all die, I know it. Ach, I no can die. I have a vite and four he lamented time and time again. "Irish" Moore didn't say much.

He sort of calmly sat in a rapidly growing puddle and grinned. Nothing bothered him much, for he felt well fortified as to the future or anythig else. Dan, too, declared that things looked black for him. "Yaas, sir, Joe, dis guttinly am one fine mess. An' I'm not ready to die, jest now.

Oh, et someone 'd only come git dis hyar niggar." "Shut up, you chicken-heart," commanded Rich. "While this is the worst pickle I ever was in since I left the deep sea, I've got a scheme to rescue ourselves. See them boats on the shore 'way up yonder? Well, someone of us has got to get them boats; get me? Now we ought to draw cuts to see who shall be thrown overboard and swim to them boats." Rich's Suggestion Meets Scant Approval. "Never did care much for water in that form," quietly declared "and as I can't swim, anyway, it won't be me." Joe shivered worse than ever and again lamented the fact that all hands Were destined to die and that it should not be he, anyway, for he had a wife, ete. Dan stoutly declared that water in such large doses always gave him heart palpitation.

"You land lubbers make me sick." said Rich, beginning to and hanging his garments in the rigging to keep them from getting any wetter than they were. "You all deserve to die here, but I'm a- going to save yer." Then he drove over Into the ley waters, de swam ashore shook himself like a big 10g, and, clad in rot even A8 much a8 Adam wore, nor much as Crusoe's nan Friday bad on to ward off the quitoes when Crusoe found him, Rich started off on a mad run up the beach nd for the rowboats a half mile away. Dashing through the ley blasts after coming from cold water was no joke, lout he kept on, and down near the clubhouse of the Pot and Kettle Club he grabbed a boat, shoved off, and rowed back and rescued his companions. As Rich emerged from the water and started up the beach, one of Frank Corwin's cows. pastured near.

gave a snort and dashed away in terrifled modesty. The men hailed Rich as, a real hero. They had been on the boat from early morning until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It was a little after 10 when "El" galled away in his motor, and it was almost with prayers of thanksgiving that the men hastily elimbed into Rich's rowboat- They felt like Columbus discovering America when they landed on terra firma-which, by the way, wasn't more than two rods from them all the time they were sitting on their wet craft. But you ought to hear what they all say of "El." SUFFOLK'S OFFICIAL VOTE Bond Issue Carried by Two Towns Voted Against It.

For the second time within six months burglars have entered the home of Harry Moran, chief clerk of the Queens Court of Special Jamaica, Sessions, during the at 17 absence Ackroyd of avenue, the ily, and the authorities are awaiting the return of Mr. Moran, in order to learn the amount of the 1088.

Word was sent to him yesterday that his residence had been found looted from cellar to garret, and he is expected home today to make an inventory of what is left. The Morans left their Jamaica home last Thursday to stay at the home of Mr. Moran's brother-in-law, Surrogate Daniel Noble, at Brentwood. On Satur- day a neighbor noticed that a rear kitchen window of the house was open. Edward Juster, who lives across the street from the Moran house, called a patrolman, and the two made an investigation.

They found the drawers of every piece of furniture in the house turned upside down on the floor, and the contents scattered all about. A child's bank had been broken open in one room, and pieces of it were littered about. An investigation showed that the open window had not been forced. There were no marks of a jimmy or any similar instrument. It is thought that the window must have Leen left unlocked.

Word was sent to Mr. Moran yesterday, but he said he would be unable to tell what had been taken until he had examined the place. The other burglary at the Moran home occurred early in the summmer. It was found out when three boys were picked up in Brooklyn while trying to dispose of a lot of clothing. They broke down and confessed that the stuff had came from the Moran house, which they said they had entered through an open cellar window.

The three lads are now serving time in reformatories. The Ackroyd avenue section, in which the Moran house is located, has lately been christened the "Jamanca burglary zone" because of the prevalence of burglaries there. TYPHOID VICTIM DEAD.

FROM QUEENS BOROUGH AND ALL LONG ISLAND MOOSE PLAN TICKETS FOR SUFFOLK TOWNS Will Make Country-Wide Contest in the Spring, Committee Decides. MEETING HELD AT PATCHOGUE Series of Lectures Flanned to Spread Principles of Progressive Party Throughout the Country. (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, 1., November 18-At meeting the Progressive County Com-! mittee of Suffolk in Moose Hall here on of Saturday afternoon chief among the topics discussed was the subject of naming a town ticket in every township in Suffolk at" the coming spring Each township reported favorably on the proposal, except Riverhead and Southold, which were not represented. The town election in Riverhead took place this fall. Forty-eight committeemen were present.

The plan of action the Progressives have mapped what they that, term a campaign of education. By this they propose to give a series of lectures during the coming winter in all the towns of Suffolk County, dealing with the principles of the party, its effect the economic conditions of the upon nation, county and town. This series of lectures proposed by Frank F. Davis of Northport, the party's recent candidate for County Judge. Mr.

Davis has volunteered to give twelve lectures himself. Mrs. Davis, who the only woman present, spoke in was behalf of the women in sympathy with the party. She will give some lectures and has spoken to a number of friends who have also volunteered. County Chairman Regis H.

Post of Bayport appointed the following committee assist in the arrangements for the to lectures: E. S. Baughton, Easthampton; Melville Smith, St. James; WilRitch, Port Jefferson; James A. son Bowem, Lake Grove; R.

A. Bacchia, Bay Shore; William Hamilton, Sayville; Fred H. Koster, Fairground; H. Noyes Greene, Northport; John Downs, Cutchogue; Leonard Bishop, Westhampton Beach; Raymond Corwith, Southampton; Ellis A. "Taylor, Babylon.

Fifteen villages in the county reported that Progressive clubs were being formed on a permanent basis. The committee elected committeemen to fill vacancies, follows: Frank E. Heinz, Fishers Isas land; Eagen F. Price, Southold; Carl Katcenmeyer, Blue Point; Joseph Arbrosio, North Bellport; Henry Petersen, Kings Park; Herbert Phillips, East Quogue, A fine point regarding the election law brought up by Alex G. Blue of was Patchogue.

Under the present law county committeemen must be elected at the primaries. The primaries have already been held and there will be no primary between now and the spring election. Mr. Blue's point was to the effect that a cial act of the legislature would have to be made empowering the Progressives to place their town tickets in the field, otherwise they would have to nominate again in the spring by petition, Inasmuch as their organization was a self-named and not elected at a primary. The one, matter was referred to the law committee, and if there is no other way out of the difficulty an appeal will be made to the legislature.

That failing the nomination will be by petition. There was considerable talk about forming a Progressive newspaper on Long Island. At the previous meeting a committee was appointed and reported progress. A semi-weekly newspaper, covering Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, has been suggested as a possibility, but the committee did not report definitely. W.

B. of Patchogue is chairman of the committee. HIGH SPEED OR SLOW SPEED? Technical Question Divides Freeport Village Trustees. Freeport, L. November 18-The members of the village board here are divided in their opinion as to whether a high speed or slow speed engine should be used in power house in connection with the extension of the electric light and water plant now under consideration for the improvement of the village lights and fire water supply.

The question involved deals with the plans and specifications furnished the board by two engineers. The first plans brought forth bids higher than the appropriations of $20,000: the recent plans and specifications submitted by Francis Broadnax were presented to the board of trustees several a days ago. Now the next point that requires attention was whether Mr. Smith's suggestions calling for a slow speed engine or Engineer Broadnax's calling for a high speed enshould be given favorable consideration.

The men secured pledges for $1,966.65, and the women for $794.40 on Saturday. The campaign closes this Friday evening, the workers having a little less than $20,000 still to collect to reach the $50,000 goal which they set out to attain.

But the executive committee is confident that the amount collected will be far in excess of the $50,000. The lawyers' team, headed by Stephen Voris, still manages to keep in the lead, with a total so far in the campaign of $1,831. The bankers' team, which has been close to Voris' team, did not report on Saturday night, but it is said that Richard Van Siclen and his workers will have a surprise in store for Team No. 8 in their report tonight.

FOSTER SAYS BANK WILL BE LIQUIDATED Babylon National Will Take Care of Patrons Following Directors' Disagreement. NEW BANK TO BE STARTED. President Says He Lacks Ten Votes of Two-thirds Necessary to Ask for Renewal of Charter. (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. November 18-John S.

Foster, who controls the majority of stock in the Babylon National Bank and who is also the president of the Bowery Bank of Manhattan, declared today that the Babylon bank will probably go into liquidation. The charter of the bank expires next April. At a meeting of the stockholders, held last week, the question of applying for a renewal of the charter, application for which must, according to law, be made 1 by a two-thirds vote of the stock, came up. John Clinton Robbins of Babylon headed a faction which controlled slightly over one-third of the stock, and which, claiming to be dissatisfled with Mr. Foster's control of the institution, voted against the application.

Unless Mr. Robbing' adherents relent, the bank will be unable to make the application, and liquidation will naturally follow. "We only lacked ten votes of the required two-thirds," said Mr. Foster, "and if we had them, the charter could of course be applied for and the bank's affairs would go on smoothly. As it is, the bank will undoubtedly have to go into liquidation, for I do not expect to be able to get the necessary ten more shares.

You may rest assured that the liquidation of the bank will not deprive Babylon of a banking institution. There will be another bank to take the place of the Babylon National. That much is certain. "The whole trouble has been that this man Robbing wants to run things altogether too much." When asked about statement that Mr. Robbing and his friends will also organize a bank, Mr.

Posted, smiled. "I doubt he "there are a great many things required to establish and conduct a banking institution, you know. "You can say that the liquidation. of the Babylon National Bank will be done so as to inconvenience the people who do business with the bank just as little as possible. Business men for whom the bank has been carrying loans will all be taken care of, all right.

"I am sorry things have come out this way, but I do not believe that the liquidation of the bank will affect business interests of the town to any appreciable extent." Mr. Foster for several years endeavored to get actual control of the Babylon National Bank, and early this year, succeeded in getting a majority of the stock. That he was in control became known when Surrogate W. G. Nicholl, who is president of the Lindenhurst National Bank, Wilbur C.

Abbott and Howard B. Hendrickson were dropped from the Board of Directors and Frank Dodd, a nephew of Mr. Foster, Charles Essig, cashier of the Bowery Bank, and Martin M. Payne, a vice president of the Bowery Bank, put in their places. this action, the new rectors being close friends of Mr.

Foster, he got the control of the bank away from the "Robbins faction." No one appears to believe that the liquidation of the bank, if affairs should come to that stage, would have any great effect upon business of this vicinity. The stockholders would not lose anything, it is said, as, although the bank has passed three dividends, it has been making money. The expected result would two banks for a the village, one of which would be a state bank. In connection with the conflict within the bank Mr. Foster and Mr.

Robbing are both large stockholders in the Sumpwams Water Company of this place and the Babylon Electric Light Company. Mr. Foster some time ago secured control of the water company, but Mr. Robbins is in control of the electric light company. HUNTERS FIND NO MOOSE.

Easthampton, L. November 18-No moose have been seen by Lawyer Harry Stephens and Felix Dominy, now hunting in New Brunswick and stopping at the Gaspero Clubhouse. The hunters write home they have bagged deer and caribou, but the bull moose has not shown since November 5, when they arrived in the woods. LITTLE GIRL INJURED. Little Anna May Doxey, 5 yearg old of Grafton avenue and Union place, Ozone Park, was reaching for a sink brush in the kitchen sink at her home yesterday, when she fell and sustained a painful laceration of the right arm.

The little girl was attended by an ambulance surgeon from St. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica, and was left at home. POLITICAL PAR PARAGRAPHS That the Republican organization shall rise, phoenix-like, out of its own ashes, is the ambition of a number of enthusimen of the Third and Fourth astic young Assembly districts. And it might be mentioned in passing that it is also the ambition of these young men to be leaders of the rejuvenated party. Since the Reorganization of Queens met its publican crushing defeat at the polls on Election Day, Nicholas Pette of Jamaica, Edgar I and other active "young men Hazleton have been trying hard to Inof politics" terest voters in their reorganization According to reports of their acplans.

tivities, contemplate the complete elimination of Joe de Bragga, Frank Loand others of the bosses whose resee gime has caused keen dissatisfaction with the organization throughout the county. It is also reported that they have met many keenly interested listeners and it is expected in many quarters that some definite action will be taken in the near future. To bring the young of the party together a men club will be organized and all the "Independent" Republicans will be invited to join. In the Long Island City end of the county the friends of Theron H. Burden, who made such a remarkable showing in election returns in the race for the the office of sheriff, In face of adverse conditions, are booming him for the leadership of a reorganized Republican party.

Burden, who has weathered many campaigns and has usually managed to run ahead of his party ticket when he was a candidate, is counted on by his friends as being able to bring together the disruptbeled factiona of the party. He has many warm personal friends among the antiConnol'y Democrats and it is said in his behalf that the young men of the Republican party regard him as capable for the job of county lander. Even at this early date Burden 18 being groomed as a possibility in the race for the borough presidency next year. BAD FIRE AT WOODMERE. Realty Office Gutted--Fire Fighters Overcome by Smoke.

Woodmere, L. November 18-Both the Woodmere and Hewlett fire departments were called on today to fight what proved to be a serious blaze in the basement of the building occupied by the Woodmere Realty Company, on Woodmere Boulevard, opposite the railroad station. Because of its location the fire produced great clouds of heavy smoke, and many of the fire-fighters were temporarily overcome by it. The blaze was not checked until after an hour's hard work. It is thought to have been due to defective heating apparatus.

The damage is estimated at $500, covered by insurance. The realty concern will be able to continue its business without any interruption while repairs are being made. ZIEGLER ON "DELINQUENTS" Queens Probation Officer to Speak at Syracuse Convention. Louis M. Ziegler, probation officer attached to the Flushing police court, open the discussion on "Mentally Defective Delinquents," which will be the main topic for discussion on the first day of the fifth annual convention of the State Probation Officers at the Onondaga Hotel, Syracuse, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

The proposition to be discussed is: "Many delinquents, both juvenile and adults, are found, when examined, to be backward and of a feeble mind. By means of the Binet system and other tests, much is being accomplished in tempting not only to detect mental de- Louis M. Ziegler. ficiency, but to measure it. It probationers were examined, they would frequently be discovered to be mentally developed; their 'mental age' would, some cases, be considered less than 'chronological' age.

Some of the most unresponsive and troublesome cases with which probation officers have to deal backward or feeble-minded, either, such cases are recognized better." Mr. Ziegler has ample proof in possession that the above statement only too true. Nine out of every cases in which his services have been enlisted he has found that the were either shiftless or feeble-minded themselves, and instead of trying to cordirect the tendency to wrong-doing on part of their children, they generally condone his or her act as the simple pranks of a child, not knowing or seeming care that these children become habitual criminals and a menace to the State country. Mr. Ziegler can prove that twelve out of fifteen cases that were given to him four or five years ago, have turned out to be habitual criminals.

TRUSTEE COX ON FARM SCHOOL Favors Suffolk County Location, Not Too Far to the East. Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: My attention has been called to your editorial published Sunday, November 3, in which you argue that our State School of Agriculture should be located the east end of Long Island. Since I at, one of the nine trustees, and have the honor of having been the draftsman of the Harte-Thompson bill, under which we are proceeding to establish the institution, probably you would be interested to know my opinion that there is no reason for anyone to worry concernIng our finding the best location available. You will see from the organic statute. chapter 319 of the Laws of 1912, that we gave to the Counties of Suffolk and Nassau, each two trustees, having four votes in the board.

Those four, with one each from Queens and Kings Counties, make six votes from Long Island as against only three votes from the remaining counties for which the institution is in particular to be established, to wit, the counties of New York, Richmond and the new county of The Bronx. Indeed, we felt 80 liberal toward the rural counties on Long Island after Assemblyman Thompson had argued in their behalf, that we would have given perhaps only one trustee to the great County of New York had it not been foreseen that all edditional county would probably soon be of 1 the five boroughs of the City of New carved out of it. For that reason we made the bill call for one trustee 'from each York." At any rate, the press and public should not fear that we will locate too near to Greater New York. I predict that we shall locate somewhere within the "Sun-Rise County." But you should not want it to be near Montauk, although your editorial pleads for the 'east end." One-half so far east will be far enough to make it easy for the school authorities to prevent city students from returning home even at week-ends. Have you ever looked at an accurate map, to see that the west end of Suffolk County is only one-third of the way out from Manhattan to Montauk Point? But I feel that it should be in the western part of Suffolk (if possible, near Farmingdale), on account of saving car fares for students from Nassau and Greater New York, from which city have come nearly all of the 300 premature applications for admission to the institution.

Although having a private opinion which I am not yet at liberty to make public, concerning the c.act location for the school, I am free to say that our trustees are agreed to your proposition that "Long Island's new farm school has a big work to do, and it should be 80 located as to do that work to the best adI vantage," and that the agricultural dents should "live 011 the land and gain the full experience of a farmer's life." FREDERICK H. COX. Jamalea, November 16, 1912. HELD FOR EXCISE VIOLATION. Easthampton, L.
