CATHOLIC DIGNITARIES VISIT ROCKVILLE CENTRE Uockvllle Centre, L. May 12. An unusual honor was accorded the Rev. Peter Quealy, pastor of St, Agnes Church, during the week Just ended, when he entertained three high dignitaries of the Catholic Church.

HEMPSTEAD DIVIDED ON SUNDAY BASEBALL Methodist Pastor Opposed to Games -Catholic Priest Favors Sabbath Playing.

(Special to The Eagle.) Hempstead, L. 1., May 12 Sunday baseball In Hempstead meets with considerable opposition and tho prospects for tho holding of games on the day of rest are not bright. Felix Rclfschneider a prominent attorney, has a list of. 300 signers seeking recognition from the village fathers for Sunday baseball, but the Rev. Saul O.

Curtice, pastor of the Hempstead Methodist Church, had another list of 60 obtained In two hours opposing the request. Dr. Curtice intimated that Mr. Reifschneider had had a good start on him. Ho had not heard of the petition for Sunday baseball until It was almost too late to take any action but he added that in obtaining 60 opponents to it Queers Has Official Total of $10,169,400 With Many Re-ports Yet to Be Made.

one of the twenty-four Victory Loan districts in Queens raised more than its quota in the campaign inleil. According to the official iliiirs available at headquarters this tnoi ninu. Queens residents piedgeu a If.l.il of $10,169,400. The quota was of the districts Mill! have additional subscriptions to i-epuii and it is expected that when the final returns are made that (juccns will be close to the rr.aik. An example of the manner in which th ent total ill bo increased can when the case of Elmhurst is considered.

The official total t'tr district today is JL'Jiilrman Suydam reports, however, that he has subscriptions not included in that total that will carry the amount to $446,250. He expects to rpol a half million subscriptions. This condition is true of practically every other loan district in Qiuieng. Forest hills, officially credited with $1157,1100, has pledged more than $250,000. In other Lone Island districts, the results are similarly Huntington, with a quota of $481,000, has raised The latest returns show that every district in Nassau and Suffolk Counties not only raised its quota but went far beyond the required sum.

521 NEW CITIZENS 13 ONE DAY'S WORK Justice Young and Clerk Richardson Make New Naturalization Record at Camp Upton. (Special to The Eagle.) liiverhead, L. May 12 It is claimed that Supreme Court Justice J. Addison Young and County Clerk Tames F. Richardson made a country-.

u-alizatlon record at Camp 'day. when a total of 521 men n-t'c Imitted as citizens of the ates. What a vast amount of ix is accomplished in a short tune may be partially learned statement that it was necessary to fill out seven long- blanks or offlcial documents for every man. Mr. Kichardson mobilized a force of men and looked after the details of getting all of the papers in shape; then the big- crowd of soldiers was admitted in blocks.

In this way, he and Justice Young kept pace with the record being made by the Government in mustering men out from the service, for it was desired that all soldiers who wished should be made citizens before leaving the service, and, too, it was desired that the work of demobilizing the Army be not held up. In three days a total of 1,143 men were admitted as citizens, mostly from the 77th Div. One night Mr. Richard-bou and his staff worked until midnight on the papers and the next night they finished up at 9 o'clock. OPPENHEIM.

Q.UWS 6 Fulton Street, Brooklyn Special Sale for Tuesday (Only) Offering Extraordinary Values sjHtffr-v FOWLER OPPOSES BIG STREET ASSESSMENT Several Hundred Residents Have Protested Against Paying $200 on Lot Front. Alderman Joel Fowler of Richmond Hill is opposed to the project for asphalting 112 streets in Richmond Hill, Woodhaven and Union Course at a cost to the property owners of at least $200 a 25-foot lot. As a member of the Jamaica Local Board of Improvements, Alderman Fowler was present at the meeting at which several hundred residents of the sections protested to Borough President Connolly, who presided. Said Mr. Fowler yesterday: "Public Works Commissioner Sullivan had the right under the charter to introduce his petitions, but it was a nonsensical thing to do.

I'm sure I don't know why he did it, and, if it had come to a vote, I am certain the proposition would have been lost. I certainly should have voted against it, for I was opposed to the pfftn from the beginning. If the people wanted their streets paved at this time they could, and I have no doubt they would, petition for the improvement in the regular way. Instead of that, Sullivan puts 112 streets in a sort of blanket petition and brings It before the local board. I was really too sick to go to that meeting, but I did go because the matter was so important, and was prepared to vote against the project if it came to a vote.

It didn't, though, and I had no opportunity to say anything." reticence has not been explained. Most of the applicants have been waiting for the signing of the Peace Treaty and a wiping out of the declaration of war. The course taken by Justice Cropsey last month when he demanded that the applicants show how loyal they had been during the war and how many bonds they had purchased may or may not be followed by other justices. At all events, the rulings of Cropsey has had a very decided effect upon a number of those who want to become citizens. Judged by the number of inquiries that have been made at the office in Long Island City.

Most of the inquirers have wanted to know just how many Liberty Bonds they must own to establish their olaim of loyalty. Naturally the clerks at the office have been unable to supply this information. The United States District Attorney's office has begun to make an investigation into the character and conduct of a number of the applicants and some of them may be on the list submitted to Justice Fawcett, who is now presiding in the Supreme Court in Long Island City the latter part of this month when he will consider naturalization cases. 300 Queens County Germans Waiting foBeJJ.

Citizens 1 1 1 I VUtd I Villi ITICtliVl ial Grove in Forest Park, Each Marked for a Hero. The fifty-three oak trees, representing that number of Woodhaven's heroic dead, were dedicated with appropriate ceremony yesterday afternoon in front of the golf club house in Forest Park. Each tree bears a plate with the name of the particular soldier in whose memory it is In tended inscribed thereon. Relatives of the departed soldiers hnd positions of honor in the front rows of seats placed on the wide lawn before the club house. I'nited States Senator William M.

Calder, who was to have made the memorial address, was unable to attend, and John H. Leich spoke in his place. James Pasta, a Woodhaven young man who was discharged recently from service, presided at the exercises. An invocation was delivered by the Hev. H.

K. Meyer, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church of Woodhaven, and the benediction was by the Rev. George Sherman, assistant rector of St. Thomas' R. C.

Church of Woodhaven. One of the affecting features of the ceremonies was the reading of the roll of the dead. Each name, as it was called, was the signal for the stepping forward of a boy or girl who placed a carnation in a large cross, which, when the roll call was eomploted, was placed in an upright position amid the setting of memorial trees. There were musical numbers and the assemblage sang patriotic anthems. The oak trees were presented by the city through Park Commissioner Albert Hennlnger.

The exercises were held under the auspices of the Woodhaven War Heroes Permanent Memorial Committee, composed of representatives of thirty-five Woodhaven organizations. The arrangements committee consisted of Albert C. Weller, Oeorge Borman, John H. Leich, Mrs. M.

Howell of Kuat Moriches, supervisor of Brook-haven Township.

By way of corroborating his point he told The Kagle of an amuslngr experience he had in connection with the salo, just aulhorlzed by the Suffolk Supervisors, of 20 acres of county land on Sawmill Brook, near Rlvcrhead. This land was houKht by the supervisors In 1902 with tho idea of making money from it by havlmr prisoners cultivate cranbrerrles on It, but this plan was never carried out, and at length tho tract was leased to Dennis Ho-man for duck ralslnp purposes.

So the matter was taken up with the supervisors as a whole, and just as they had decided to offer the property to the highest bidder at a public salo word came to Mr, Howell that a man was outside who would buy the tract and save the county the troublo of holding a sale. "Toll him we have decided to sell at public sale and give everybody who is Interested a chance to bid for It," said Mr. Howell, "and tell him we have already had (wo offers for It."
