This conference will undoubtedly develop a united front, which has heretofore been lacking In the history of these commutation fights.

Heretofore the railroads have had comparatively no opposition or a very scattered and spasmodic opposition. From now on the more than a million commuters may become so well organized ttvit they will function as one body and must be reckoned with as a whole. AMBULANCEIS NOT HEEDED BY S. P. C.

Browne and Mrs. Martha Guilfoyle are leaders, was the noisiest place in Brooklyn this morning, when an army of "at least S.000," as estimated by Mrs. Guilfoyle, mobilized for the annual outing.

This year instead of trying to crowd everybody on a steamboat for a trip to Bear Mountain and finding the boat not' half big enough, 6-teeplechase Park was chartered and busses provided so everybody in the district could go. And everybody did. I'aper hats and horns were read for everybody when the advance guard arrived before 9 o'clock. Between lusty throats and loud-voiced horns Concord and Nassau where the crowd collected and was entrained, became a veritable Babel. Before 10 o'clock 50 busses were filled and others ready for the impatient youngsters and older guests.

Jim Browne and Mrs. Guilfoyle tried to be everywhere at once, keeping things moving, albeit slowly. The men and women active on the committees for the day included Alderman Patrick McCann, William Olbbon, George Barton, Nicholas Zelllnsgy, William O'Neill, John J. Kelly, Mrs. Catherine Esmus, Mrs.

15. Carthay, superintendent of the S. P. C. A.

for Greater New York, had a conference with Mrs. Nellie E. May, founder of the Women's Club for Animals, yesterday, and explained that the club had been misinformed and that the society did not need another ambulance, although it was always in need of assistance in meeting exoenses. The plan has therefore been given up and the $204 subscribed by animal lovers and sent to The Eagle will be promptly re turned. Mr.

Carthay said to Eagle reporter today: "The Intentions of these women are wonderful, but they have been misinformed. There seems to be a general feeling in Brooklyn that the S. P. C. A.

is Inadequately equipped, with ambulances. We have seven in Brooklyn alone and we have no more breakdowns than are suffered hy other automobiles. Ot course in the summer we have more calls and 1 Monday the ambulances brough' in over 700 animals. But It would be of no use to accept an additional ambulance that would cost at least $200 month to maintain, or that would have to be kept idle in reserve. 1 see nothing to do but to return the subscriptions with sincere thanks for the Interest displayed by Brooklyn animal lovers." WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT, BUICK WILL BXJILD THEM cMsher Huntington Place Transformed by Anne Abbott's Genius Sold to Philanthropist.

Huntington, L. July 29 "The Dream of a Life-time" might well be the title of a hook that could be written on the work that has been done on the old Drake farm In the eastern section of Huntington by Miss Anne Abbott. The place has Just been purchased by August Heckscher take care of a lirge number of children who live In the tenements of New York and who hardly know what the fields and the woods of the country, with its health dealing sunshine, is like. Miss Abbott, who has an artistic turn of mind, started a movement to make over an old cow barn into a little home that speaks of love of art in every nook nd corner, and the latest move mado by Mr. Heckscher in the purchase of the place, is one that has turned the artistic work done by Miss Abbott to such good purpose that the little children, several hundred in number, who will stay there during the summer months, cannot help but feel the environment in which they have been placed.

It was not until teven years ago that the opportunity Miss Abbott had sought presented itself. She saw in the old Drake house, with its stock and cow barns, her opportunity and grasped it. She began making over the house to suit her artistio fancy. Up-to-date furniture could find no place in the home. Little artistic tables, so arranged that they could easily be made over into settees, were placed in different parts of her house, and the whole Interior took on the aspect of the Swiss chalet.

Then the day came when the work cn the house and the grounds was finished, but she did not stop there. Nearby was an old cow barn, with its corral, its silo, its box stalls, and its old stall for horses, with its rot-tening floors and' partitions falling apart, and lastly with its old wagon shed, at the end of which was an oid slatted corncrlb, and through- nut a home for hornets and their nests. Darn Becomes Art Studio, The building was a low affair and a practical carpenter would quickly advise tearing it down and getting It out of the way. Miss Abbott, though, planned to transform the eye-sore into a thins of beauty, and slowly but surely alio made the old building into a home in which the lover of art could dream and be furnished with inspiration. Much of the work was done by Mis? Abbott.

herself, but every bit of it was done tinder her supervision for instance a heavy beam was needed in one Jitafce. She ordered a perfectly square beam and something else was delivered. She was compelled to wait eix, weeks for what she wanted, but wait sne aid, ratner man piace in her, dream home something that wcjuld clash with tho remainder of the building. Then Miss Abbott was ready to dis pose of the house, known as the "Uqse Rambler Cottage," provided it would be put to some practical use: When she learned that August Heckscher was looking for a place where he could send city children who had never had an opportunity to enjoy a vacation, and confident that her work would be carried on, she willingly sold her dreum home to the society. To this rest-home the first con rignment of poor children will come today.

Miss Abbott will be there to see the realization of her dream. She will be happy with those happy little children, and as long aa she lives she will carry with her the picture of her "dream" home, the contented children, and her "Rose Rambler Cottage."
