Hicks brought against John S. Burke, a highcommissioner, and James H. Cocks, as supervisor, the Appellate Division has just decided on a demurrer that the town of Oyster Bay and others need not be made a party to the suit.

Sealy Wants Village Board to Appropriate Necessary Funds. WOULD BE GOOD INVESTMENT. Believes That $1,500 Yearly Would Exterminate 31,363,000 Larvae Per Acre.

(Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. June 2-Alvin A. Sealy, known as the "Mayor" of Bay ALVIN SEALS. FULTON ART STUDIO View, has solved the mosquito problem. He asks for co-operation and if it is given him by the people of Freeport he promises to drive the pest out of Freeport.

He says he can do it, too, as effectively as St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. Mr. Sealy is the pleasant, jovial landlord who comes to your cesspools when you're not looking and pours large quantities of kerosene oil into them. The cesspool owners began to suspect that there would be no mosquitoes last year, but "Mayor" Sealy's oil gave out.

Then the mosquitoes came buzzing into Freeport. Screens, left off until July, were quickly put up again. Everyone began to wonder at the sudden appearance of the summer "plague." Mr. Sealy says that mosquitoes can be exterminated if the people will help themselves. He is around again, pouring kerosene down the cesspools when they are not looking.

It is no uncommon thing to hear Mr. Sealy's neighbors say, "Halle Alvin, how many larvae did you kill today?" and being genial and friendly he tells them all about it. The "official mosquito exterminator" (another name familiarly applied to him) has gone into figures and this is what he has discovered: That there are five larvae per square inch, 720 of the same wrigglers to the square foot and, there being 43,560 square feet in an acre, the number mosquitoes-to-be per square acre totals 31,363,200. "I believe that if the village authorities were to take up the matter of exterminating mosquitoes, thereby making Freeport one of the most ideal spots in the world," said Mr. Sealy, they could accomplish it by simple means.

I would suggest that they introduce a resolution for a $1,500 appropriation, in the budget, each extermina- year and use the money for the tion of the great South Side summer nuisance. MISS MARIE L. KING WEDS Is Married to Neal Childs Pike in Jamaica Church. (Special to The Eagle.) Jamaica, L. June 2-The wedding here last evening, at the Reformed Dutch Church, Miss Marie Louise King, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Albert N. King of Jamaica, and Neal Childs Pike, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter N.

Pike of Park, and nephew of former Senator and Mrs. Childs, was one of the social events of the season. The ceremony was performed Rev. Robert Kerr Wick, pastor of the church, in the presence of an assemblage of about 500 persons. Miss Mabel King was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were the Misses Ida Wick, Pearl Van Siclen, Susan Simonson and Kittie Alhson.

Walter K. Pike, brother of the bridegroom, was best man, and the ushers were Vernon Childs, Archibald King, Archibald R. Wiley and Wilbur G. Dunning. The bride was gowned in white satin trimmed with rose point princess lace and wore a veil caught up with orange blossoms.

Her only ornament was a diamond lavalliere set in platinum, a gift of the bridegroom, and she carried shower bouquet of lillies of the vala ley and marguerites. The maid of honor, Miss Mabel King, a sister of the bride, wore a gown of pink taffeta with pink tulle overdress trimmed old with pink daisies, and carried an nosegay and marguerites. Following the wedding a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents at 31 Hillside avenue, in the Yale Terrace section of Jamaica. A wedding supper was served to about 300 guests in a tent on the lawn and dancing was enjoyed later. AFTER BICYCLISTS.

Charles Davenport, R. G. Waller and Charles E. Hyde are members of the committee of arrangements. J.

H. CARL KICKS ON DAVISON'S $15,000 FEE Notes and Comment The people of Islip are to be commended for their efforts to exterminate the mosquitoes that threaten the peace and happiness of their community and it is hoped that Town Board of Health will cooperate heartily in the plan of draining the marshes near the village and thus do away with breeding places. The work that done last this year in exterminating the mosquitoes in the section should encourage the people to even greater activity this year. Since it is now understood that it is easy to prevent the growth of the "skeeters' many villages have The gradual disappearance of swamps taken up a the work of prevention. and marshes like disappearance of the mosquitoes.

Sayville business men, in complain'ing about the torn up condition of the South Country road, are making complaint that every village depending upon summer business can easily understand. If automobiles cannot reach a village easily, the place has little chance of having much summer business. In Sayville's case, the delay in completing the construction of the State road will mean that the entire summer, from a business standpoint, may be ruined. The people in charge of the work ought to push it as rapidly as possible. URGES BOOM LOTS FOR PRISON FARM Hal B.

Fullerton Says Prisoners Could Clear Land and Save County Expense. OPPOSES PURCHASE BY BOARD. Lots Not Used Could Be Sold With Profit to the County, Expert Points Out. (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. June 2-Although the Board of Supervisors is thought to be still considering the purchase of a large farm for county prioners to cultivate, the more economical method, recently suggested, has received the highest praises from Hal B.

Fullerton, head of the Experimental Station at Medford. The idea to have the prisoners clear and develop the 204,000 boom lots, owned by the county because of unpaid taxes, has received the recommendation of one of the best agricultural experts Long Island. "The idea is a good one, and founded on sound logic," Mr. Fullerton declared today. "The only falacy being that the lots in small parcels, say less than one acre, would be unprofitable.

But the other parcels, containing from five to ten acres, and there are many of them which have been taken over by the county for unpaid taxes, could be farmed profitably to all concerned. By placing a foreman and a gang of the prisoners on each parcel, the shrub oaks could be speedily cleared and the land ready (O be planted before the summer is over. A man and an assistant to handle the dynamite, and a gang of fifteen men could clear a five-acre farm have it ready for planting sixty within' days. "One of the most commendable features of this idea is that should the county decide it was too far away to be properly farmed, to sell these cleared parcels would be easy. I know of hundreds of people in New York and Brooklyn who are anxious to get out on the Island and have such a farm of their own, but because of the vast labor required to clear it, these people are looking elsewhere.

This would be one of the best ways conceivable to stimulate the agricultural development of the Island, and incidentally free the county from the burden of carrying these worthless lots. "When taken from the humanitarian standpoint--that of having the men work-there doesn't seem to be much objection from those who have tried." SUES NASSAU FOR $19,596 Engineer Claims He Has Not Been Paid for Services. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. June 2-William H. Bowne of Glen Cove, former County Superintendent of Highways, has brought suit against the county for services as engineer to the county from July 1 to December 31, 1911, for $19,596.

Y. Convention to Open Next Tuesday. TO URGE FIREMEN'S RIGHTS. Volunteers Will Fight for Continued Jury Exemption and Equal Basis With Veterans. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L.

June 2-Two important questions not only of interest to the members of the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association but volunteer firemen throughout the State of New York will be considered at the convention of the Southern Volunteer Firemen at Hempstead next week. There has been considerable discussion as to the advisability of amending the State Constitution 80 that volunteer firemen may no longer allowed to claim their jury exemption and thus be compelled to serve as jurors. A resolution has been introduced at the Constitutional Convention at Albany to amend the constitution so that volunteer firemen may be compelled to serve as Jurors. This is one question that the 900 deelgates to the Hempstead convention will consider. The other important question is a recommendation to the Constitutional delegates to place volunteer firemen in the same class with veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars in reference to preference in the appointment to public offices.

Whatever action will be taken by the delegates in reference to the two questions, there will be a strong effort to have recommendations passed asking the delegates to the State Constitutional Convention to allow the exemption from jury duty to continue and to also have the firemen placed in the same with Civil and Spanish War Veterans. The convention next Tuesday at 10:30 a.m., with the Rev. Frank M. Kerr offering prayer. This will be followed by an address of welcome by President Isaac U.

Thursday will be the big day of the convention and there will be a three-mile-long parade in the morning followed by a dinner to the guests. In the afternoon there will be the tournament.

At that time he presented his bill for Town $15,000 and the Board unanimously voted to pay him this amount as fees for his professional services. The equalization suit has been a very long and tedious one and the amount involved approximates $100,000. For a long time the Town of Hempstead has been dissatisfied with the equalization of the taxes in the three towns. Alfred T. Davison has appeared annually at the equalization meetings of the Board of Supervisors and filed his objections zations to equalimade by the County Board.

An appeal was taken to the Appellate Division by Mr. Davison after an authorization by the Hempstead Town Board and that court decided that the State Commissioners should have upset the decision of the Nassau County Board of Supervisors.

The Appellate Division, however, went even further and decided that Hempstead should be assesed for 50 per cent. and the two other towns of Oyster Bay and North Hempstead should bear the tax burden at the rate of 25 per cent. each. The two defeated towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay then took the case to the Court of Appeals and that court of last resort decided that the Appellate Court had exceeded its jurisdiction in deciding how much the towns should pay. Some Say Bill Is Not Excessive.

At the meeting of the Town Board these facts were recited by Mr. Davison and the resolution was pased authorizing the payment of $15,000. It was stated at the meeting of the Town Board yesterday that only and $5,000 of this amount had been paid, President Carl has announced that he will take some means to prevent the payment of the balance. He said: "I think this bill of Alfred T. Davison is excessive.

I am sure that $5,000 would have been enough. Fifteen thousand dollars for a losing suit is pretty high. I wonder what Davison would have charged if he had won' Why do they not employ a counsel by the year? It would be much cheaper. I have heard a number of people object to the high charge and I am going to take some action. I intend to consult counsel and fight this thing to the finish.

You can say for me that I am going to get busy at once and take some steps to save some of this $15,000." Former Controller John Lyon of Rockville Centre, who has repeatedly brought taxpayers' suits to prevent payments of money not only in Hempstead but in the county, also takes the position that the charge was a proper one. While he thought the bill was large he said it was perfectly fair. He said: "Davison has rendered good service to the people of Hempstead. I know of many cases where he has protected the interests of the people without compensation." Mr. Davison, when asked about the matter, said: "Mr.

Carl is not familiar with the amount of work it has been necessary to do in the matter commencing with November, 1911. It is the first time in the history of the State that a determination of a State Board of Tax Commissioners in equalization proceedings has been upset by a court, and that was obtained only as the result of an exhaustive and thorough preparation. "I am perfectly willing to have the merits of the action of the Town Board in auditing my bill passed upon by a court, if Mr. Carl or any taxpayer thinks he has anything to question about it. It is a reasonable charge, and I have been so told by many lawyers and laymen." Supervisor Hiram R.

Supervisor Jones said: "I inquired of a number of representative lawyers and they were unanimous in saying that the fee was a fair one. In addition, the interest which we will receive when the money is finally recovered will more than pay Mr. Davison's fees." PORT JEFFERSON HOUSE BURNS.
