BOY'S PITIFUL STORY IS PROVED A FAKE Fair Ground Lad Eligible for Membership in the Ananias Club. HAS A VIVID IMAGINATION, But His Mother Promptly Knocked His Yarn Into the Traditional Cocked Hat. (Special to The Eagle.) Huntington, L. April 8 Deputy Sheriff A mil Rirza was called from his bed on Saturday night about 12 o'clock to investigate what at first appeared to be a case of revolting cruelty to a wpiva.vpar-olrl hnv. but which later turned out to be as collossal a piece of misrepresentations as was ever perpetrated by a youngster of such tender years.

The telephone message which disturbed Biggs' slumbers came from Fred Knop's shoe store in Fair Ground, and waB to the effect that a small boy, shivering with the cold, hatless and minus shoes and stockings, had been caught trying to climb into an empty friegnt car. uu ue-ine aueBtloned. he told a pathetic itory of how he had been turned out to Btarve, and that he had not eaten looa in two days. Believing that he had discovered a shocking cubs of utter cruelty and abandonment, Deputy Sheriff Biggs drove cultkly to Fair Ground and Dy question which the boy answered between rapia bites of pie and draughts ot coffee, he learned that the waif was Melborne Love-joy, aged 12. a son of Milton Lovejoy, employed as a stenographer at the immigration Station on Ellis Island.

The boy said that his parents, wno uao to the city the day before, bad left him In charge of Mrs. C. Rowland, who lives In MacKav avenue Fair Ground. Mrs. Rowland, he stated, had taken his shoe and stockings, beaten him cruelly and driven him out of the house.

He Btated that on Friday night he had slept In a box car os the siding, and told how he had covered himself with empty grain ha to keeD warm. He cried pitifully and said he wanted to be taken to his father and mother. The boy's tears and the fact that he was still shivering with cold, touched the heart of Deputy Sheriff Biggs. He determined to take the boy back to Mrs. Rowland and make her give him shelter until morning, when he would attempt to communicate with the 'boy parents in New York.

On arriving at Mrs. Rowland nouse he was Informed, from an upstairs window, after much knocking, by her, that she had not been given charge of the boy. that she hardly knew him and he had only visited her house once on a pre vious occasion. Don't vou believe her; sbe's lying. whispered the boy to Biggs.

"She whipped me and beat me and turned me out to starve." Biggs' righteous indignation was about to assert itself when Mrs. Rowland sug gested that he take the boy arouno to his parents' home, Railroad avenue, and nee If bv any chance they were there. While the youngster still protested that there was nobody at home and that Mrs. Rowland was misrepresenting the case, Biggs drove to the house in Railroad ave-avenue. Much to his surprise there were lights burning In the windows, and on knocking, Mrs.

Lovejoy, the boy's mother, came to the door. "Why, Melbourne, where have you been, you bad boy," she cried, and then as she drew the youngster into the house she told Blggs how her son had disappeared from home early that afternoon and how she had been searching about the village all the evening trying to find him. Mr. Lovejoy's work had been keeping him at Ellis Island during the last few days, and In her single-handed search she had been unsuccesful. "Why.

Melbourne; what do you mean by telling Mr. Blggs euch an awful story?" she said to her offending offspring as he stood trying to avoid the Irate gaze of the deputy sheriff. "I dunno," was Melborne's only answer. TRIAL DATE IS FIXED. Case of L.

Captain James Hanse, president of the village and chief ot the police force, has forwarded many recommendations to the village board, all ot which have been adopted. The men 'will not be subservient to any interests, as all the responsibility will be placed into the hands of President Hanse.

The president showed In his long series of recommendations that he has been observing the conditions existing, as he had facta and figures at. hand for the entire year. As a man who has seen active police duty himself. Captain Hanse determined to take the men into his confidence, with the result that he has asked for a fixed salary tor seven policemen, who will be permanent fixtures In the local force. The seven DOlicemen will be asked to buy their own uniforms and none will he dismissed except on oharges that warrant suoh action, and then, not until they have had an opportunity to answer.

Later, when Freeport has been declared a first-class village, the position or po liceman will be placed under tne civil service laws and appointments made according to competitive standing. There will always be one man In the police station and in court. He will collect any fees or fines and turn tho money over to the village treasurer. The captain will do duty in the day time, taking cere of traffic, and a blotter will be maintained for public scrutiny. Four men will be on night duty every evening and morning.

Five extras are to be appointed, who will be paid for hours of labor rendered at 40 cents per hour instead of 30 cents, as formerly. The captain will receive $1,000, the patrolmen $900 and the doorman $300. Last year more than $5,000 was required for doIIcp protection, but after fees and fines turned over to the village are de ducted the actual cost of maintaining the force last year was $4,300. The village board will make a demand on the Long Island Railroad Company to put gates, as promised, for the protection of pedestrians and vehicle passen gers, at Henry and Grove streets, and at the same time the company will be re quested to Improve the Columbus avenue crossing. The third demand of the same company will be that between the tracks be Improved at all street crossings ia Freeport bo that they will be made safe for vehlclea.

The Long Island Traction Company will be asked to fix its tracks crossing Merrick road and In Buch other street crossings In the village as need repairing. Trustees Charles Slgmond asked that one and one-half miles of gravel be laid when the road fund Is sufficiently large. so that the Freeport roads will continue to bear the reputation they now have of being tho best kept on Long Island. The board of assessors was authorized by unanimous vote to have a map prepared showing all the houses and property in the village. Ernest S.

Randall explained that the Underwriters Exchange has such a map that that the village could obtain a duplicate and place it for public gaze, having it filled in irom time to time as the properties increase. The board discussed the laying of granitoid sidewalks, and will nav one-third the cost where people fulfill tneir pari. COM'R 0'KEEFFE AT QUEENS.

Fron C. Waldo Smith Sees No Need for Flushing-Jamaica Waterway. MAY BE VALUABLE SOME TIME When Tlav Arrives. Mr. Smith Thinks Great Commercial Bodies Will Demand Its Construction.

"I am not aware that anyone haB ever made a claim that there was commercial necMnltv for building the Flushing-Ja maica Bay Canal and in my opinion, it It Is built It should be built on the assessment plan and should be paid for by those who would be benefited by It and not by a tax on the entire city," said G. Waldo Smith ot Bayside, one of the most active clvio workers In Queens, last night. 'If the canal Is to be built It win run from a great meadow at Flushing Bay to a greater meadow at Jamaica Bay. There is no business ot any name, nature or kind at either end ot the proposed canal. It would not connect any two Important places and could only be used for local purposes.

Any sailor familiar with New York Harbor would tell you that if the canal was built and was ever so deep and ever bo wide and entirely without that no vessel passing from the port ot New York to any other port would ever go through it. I have never known a canal to be built until It was a great commercial necessity. The Suez Canal was built to connect the Ocident with the Orient and to save the long and perilous voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. The Erie Canal was built to connect the great unsalted seas with the. North Atlantic Ocean.

The Panama Canal Is being built to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific and to shorten the distance from New York to San Francisco by over 8,000 mlleB. The Cape Cod canal is being built to shorten the distance from New York to Boston by 87 miles and to save the voyage around Cape Cod. "The Cape' Cod and the Suez Canal are owned by corporations and are an Investment. The barge canal Is being built it the expense of the people of New York State and will be a benefit to many millions of people. The Panama canal Is being built at the expense of the United States and it Is no exaggeration to say that it will greatly benefit the entire commercial world while if the Flushing Bay canal is built It will only benefit th section through which it passes; and if built with draw bridges over which the railroads and trolleys will have to pass It will cause delay in travel for all people living east of the canal and will result In the loss of property to that section many times as great as will accrue to the property benefited.

"We have four great commercial bodies In New York City namely, the New York Board of Trade and Transportation, Chamber of Commerce, New York Produce Exchange and the Merchants Association. From the very beginning it has been the work of these organizations to secure for New York Harbor such improvements as have been needed from time to time. They took a leading part In securing the removal of Pot Rock from Hell Gate and the widening and deepening of Ambrose Channel, the building of the Chelsea piers and the building of a 1,000 foot pier for the steamer Olympla, In building the barge canal and other improvements and necessary commercial facilities. When a canal Is needed to connect Jamaica Bay and Flushing Bay for commercial purposes the members of these organizations will certainly find It out and will take the necessary steps to secure whatever legislation may be required.

The girl, In company with her father, John Glllbla, had missed the trolley to Fair Ground and thoy were walking toward their home on Lincoln avenue at about 9 o'clock, after doing some shopping In the village, when the accident happened.
