Factions Muster Forces for Showdown in Riverhead Bond Concern Row Bickering May Put Off Board Election Stockholders Fear Row May Affect Public ver Confidence in Firm Riverhead, L. Jan. 11-While the two factions leading the battle for the control of the Riverhead Bond Mortgage Co.

were today mustering forces for the conflict on Wednesday afternoon when five of the nine directors are to be elected, stockholders of moderate means were viewing the fight with alarm, fearing the constant public bickering and charges may affect the stability of the $600,000 concern. The company attempted to 'conduct its annual meeting and election of directors last Wednesday. The two leading factions clashed and squabbled with such vim that the meeting was forced to postponement. Yet the feeling continues to run high and in some quarters there is scarcely a reason to expect that when the stockholders gather next week the election will be conducted. Use Same Tactics.

Exactly the same tactics used by Charles W. Ludlam Oyster Bay to secure the control of the board of directors a year ago with his brother, Francis A. Ludlam of Glen Cove, are being used by the insurgent faction under the leadership of Elmer P. Smith, Port Jefferson. attorney and secretary, to take over the majority in the board.

Ludlam himself was placed in the presidency as an insurgent means of a campaign which Smith terms "villifi2. cation against the remaining old board members." "High pressure" publicity has been under way in Smith's campaign, it is declared, he issued siz-0-zling circular letters and vitriolic allegations from his faction's headquarters to "oust the Then at last week's meeting Smith was called on to be the chief speaker for the insurgents. He did what was considered an adroit act. He brought the formal minutes along with which to plague the Ludlams. When the meeting was adjourned it was said that it appeared the Ludlams were a bit afraid to have a vote taken and needed more time to mend some of the proxy fences.

The insurgents declared that "the Ludlams were beaten by 4,000 votes," although no vote was taken after five hours of angry debate. Smith declared that President Ludlam had "done nothing but fight the directors and call them gratfers" since he took office, "endeavoring to get them out of office GRadin could put in men to do his Elwood Lewis defended Ludlam. He said the president had kept the expenses down to a minimum and made money for the company during the year. Candidates Named. The opposing factions managed at least to have their directorate candidates nominated.

Those named by the Ludlam group were: F. W. Richter, Henry Hendel, Amza Burt, de Peter J. Herman and John Brennan. The insurgents named Leroy S.

Reeve, Elmer P. Smith, Chester H. at G. Vail, A. R.

Thurm, Elmer Ruland and Dr. E. J. C. Smith.

Won One of the principal issues in the Si velectoral battle is representation for the stockholders on eastern Long Island. The insurgents claim 60 percent of the stockholders are there without representation and allege that the Ludlam brothers want to keep their control with directors from the western part.

Stress Need Of Museum At Freeport Village Collection of Historical Data Seen as Project Nucleus Freeport, Jan.

11-A move to establish a village museum may be started here soon. Civic workers are reported intensely interested in such a project since the acquisition by the village of World War and Spanish War mementos, which now must be placed in either the Memorial Library or the Municipal Building. The latest gift of this nature was the bronze tablet made of metal taken from the ill-fated U. S. S.

Maine, the sinking of which precipated the Spanish-American War. Gets Coat-of-Arms. Recenty George Canalizo of S. Ocean who spends a good deal of his time in Mexico, presented the village with a coat-of-arms of the United States done in feathers. It is the work of the Antzec Indians of Mexico whose feather paintings date back thousands of years.

As yet this has not been displayed but will soon be hung on the walls of the Municipal Building and bear a tablet with the name of its donor and something of its history. The Municipal Building also has a growing gallery of past village executives as photographs of every village head since 1892, when the village was incorporated, have been made an equal size and are to be hung in order of their service. Carman Corneilus was the first village president and Clinton M. Flint is the present Mayor. The title of village executives was changed from Village President to Mayor two years ago.

Several months ago a room in Police Headquarters was set aside as a first aid room and equipped with operating table, This room has been named in memory of the late Patrolman Harry Albin, who was killed in an automobile accident last summer. A bronze tablet bearing his name and the date of his death has been placed on the wall of the room. Have Picture Gallery. If photographs of historic buildings in the village can be obtained they will be added to the municipal collection and as each Mayor goes out of office his photograph will join the rest. Freeport has no museum, but there is talk of trying to find room for some valuable relics of historical significance.

Somewhere in the village is the first piece of fire apparatus the village ever had, built in 1874 by the late Uncle Billy Patterson, who commanded the G. A. R. post that disbanded after his death. The post colors and trophies are at present in charge of the American Legion.

Somewhere in the village also are the silver trumpets used by the old fire company, then the Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company and now Truck 1. It is believed that these and other would form the nucleous of a village museum that may be built in the future. Have Historical Data. Police Judge Albin N. Johnson and former Village President Raymond J.

Miller have been collecting historical data concerning Freeport for a good years and it is believed that marione them is enough material to historical room. Other persons in the village who must have things of historical interest would probably present them to the village if a museum were started. Freeport Police Want Gym For Reducing Size of Force Freeport, L. Jan. 11-If the recommendation of Chief of Police John N.

Hartman is carried out, it 4t will no longer be necessary to buy two police uniforms to make one for some of the plump members of the force. He has asked that a room in basement of the Municipal Building, be make equipped it possible as a for gym- the heavy duty men to do a daily dozen and lose some weight. Boxing matches, fencing and asthetic dancing may all be a part of, the police curriculum in the event the room is equipped fully, Bi members of the force said today. bot Hartman has also asked for a revolver range where the men Find Frostfishing Relief From Ennui Rockaway Beaches Afford Diversion to Night Parties Searching Out Fish Tossed on Sand by Winter Seas The Rockaway frostfishing to enjoy the sport (and the fish eater) is a flare for patrolling the January moon. Frostfishing parties formed these nights and visitors to the beaches seem to enjoy them more than bridge or poker.

In fact, many a bridge game is eliminated with a trip to the shorefront where squirming, flapping fish, washed ashore by heavy combers, are easily espied gone trapped in pockets after the waves have receded. Make Living on Fish. But not all frostfishing parties are made up of -evading bridge parties. Many persons make a living from the fish caught in sand pockets along the Rockaway peninsula. But, while many enjoy strolling along the beaches in quest of frostfish, Si Tanhauser, poet-laureate of the Long Island Railroad and an Indian chief of the first blood, raises the question in a quaint way as to the locality of such a sport.

He cites an old treaty with the now extinct Rockaway tribe of Indians as the basis for his question. While Tanhauser says that the original treaty, which the Indians signed with the English, is not on record, he has seen a copy of it and submits that on May 14, 1646, Thomas Spicer and four Indians, who were believed to have been members of the Canarsie tribe, signed a treaty giving the Indians sole rights to engage in frostfishing. New Treaty Made. This treaty, according to Tanhauser, was later nullified by the Dutch when they settled on Long Island. In 1655, the Mohawks raided Long Island and dispersed the Long Island Indians, with the result that the treaty was ended.

However, on May 13, 1764, a second treaty was made; this time, he says, by the Rockaway Indians. Tanhauser says that the white signers were John Tilton and Samuel Spicer of Gravesend. The wording of the treaty, as submitted by Tanhauser, follows: "For certain Island called by the Indians Equensito and by the English 'Broken These islands consisted of all rights to uplands and marshes anywhere belonging thereto, the strand, beach and beaches running out westerly with the island adjoining by the ocean enclosed, called Hoopaninak and Smamscomacooke and. Maurtteris; all havens, creeks, excepting only one-half all such whale and fish that shall by wind and storm be cast upon the island." The rub, according to Tanhauser, lies in the last portion of the treaty pointing out that while the Indians make no mention of frostfish it comes under the category of such "whale and fish that may by wind and storm be cast upon the Island." Along with obtaining this privilege, Tanhauser says that the records revealed the Rockaway Indians likewise received under it from the English "two coats, ten fathoms of wampum (the value of a fathom of wampum was about three shirts, six pounds of powder, six bars of lead, and a quantity of brandy." About 200,000 Indians occupied Long Island at the time the treaty was made, Tanhauser asserts. The Rockaway tribes were insistent upon placing the question of frostfishing in the treaty as it represented their chief industry.

They sold the fish to their fellow Indians in other parts of the Island. But the likelihood of Mr. Tanhauser's claim having any effect on stopping Rockawayites from frostfishing appears doubtful. Some claim the fish are English whitings which forced by hunger to the shore line for food are washed up on the beach by the high seas that prevail during winter.

Jan. 11-A public hearing on Nassau's Scouting row is requested in a letter forwarded to James E. West, national Scout executive, by Edward E. Edstrom, attorney of this village, who is representing Dr.

George F. Adair, Lynbrook's rebel scoutmaster. Scoring the Nassau Scout organization as "the most autocratic form of government," Edstrom asks for open discussion on the dispute that has been raging since Dr. Adair's troop was refused registration. At the present time the Lynbrook troop is non-existent, as far as records at at Mineola are concerned.

Scores "Failure." "On behalf of the troop committee the scoutmaster and the Scouts of Troop 30, Boy Scouts of America, of Lynbrook, N. I wish to bring this to your personal attention and request a hearing before you personally in reference to the failure of the Nassau County Council, Boy Scouts of America, to register Troop 30." the letter says. Then follows a recital of facts in the argument between Dr. Adair and headquarters. Registration pers were filed in Mineola on Oct.

31, 1929, Edstrom declares. Subsequently a circular issued by headquarters declared Troop 30 was a "lapsed troop." "The Nassau County Council, through its executive secretary, F. Howard Covey, had the audacity to write to the individual Scouts Troop 30 and inform them that county headquarters going to reorganize Troop 30 under qualified leadership," the letter continues. "Qualified" was underlined in the communication sent to West. Request Denied.

It concludes, "The Nassau County Council, Boy Scouts of America, is functioning under the most autocratic form of government and because of this we are making this personal appeal to you. Without consideration for the interests of the Scouts involved, it has summaridenied the request of Troop 30 ly to be re-registered and, because of personal animosities, has placed every obstacle possible in the path of Troop "As the representative of the troop committee members of 30 and in the interest of Troop Scouting, I hereby request that you grant us a hearing, preferably do a I feel public that Scouting in Nassau Counone. Only in this way will attain that purpose for which ty it was intended."

Jan. 11- While the Public Service Commission is quizzing the Long Island Railroad for details regarding its transit plans to care for future Long Island expansion, members of the Rockville Centre Civic Association are declaring that recent transit developments in Nassau County have made it necessary to form a countywide civic organizations. Invitations have been sent to every civic organization in the county to attend a meeting here on Saturday night, Jan. 25, when the matter will be discussed. At that time the formation of a county-wide organization will be taken up and it is the idea of the local organization that a federation of civic associations could bring much more pressure to bear toward end than by acting individually, An allied association has come up for discussion at some of the meetings of the various organizations and while some of them are in favor, others have taken the stand that they are organized for the good of their own locality and are not concerned about the big problems that affect the entire county.

SEEK UNITED EFFORT The Rockville Centre Association is especially interested in the service being given by the Long Island Railroad and the bus lines and the organizations east of Freeport are also interested. Due to the fact that the north shore organizations have formed a combine for the same purpose it is expected that the new organization will be confined to the south shore. Some years ago an attempt was made to organize such a body among the villages east of Freeport, but the movement was not success. All of the local organizations have made the train service on the Long Island Railroad a subject of discussion at every meeting and while some of the demands of the commuters are unreasonable, constructive measures have been discussed and in many cases acted upon. Each of the villages has a large commuting element and Rockville Centre leads all the rest.

It is fitting, therefore, that the organization meeting should be held here, in the opinion of many. Lynbrook and Rockville Centre are interested in more express trains, Wantagh in having the station opened earlier in the morning, and each of the other villages has some particular problem, PLANS MEMORIAL MARTINI Charles Jennejohn.

Jan. 11-Following a request made by the William Clinton Story Post of the American Legion that a municipal hospital be built in Freeport, the village board has decided to ask the Nassau Connty Village Officials Association to have the State law amended 50 that several communities can unite in building a municipal hospital. Mayor Clinton M.

Flint is expected to announce the appointment of A committee of 10 citizens to serve on a hospital committee but has not completed the list as yet. The present law reads that a community can bulld a municipal hospital but it does not say that several communities can unite on such a project. It is felt locally that a hospital to serve Freeport and the villages east to Massapequa would be better than just a village institution.
