THE DAILY ARGUS. The White Plains Dally Argus la Issued to-day (Saturday., Nov. 21, 1908), for the first time. The needs of making the publica tion of the White Plains Argus a dally was appreciated for several years, but financial conditiona caused halt In the consummation of our desires. It Is the purpose of the Hally Argus to be a White Plains paper, true to the Interests of the community at all times; to further whenever pos sible. the upbuilding of the village; to have a good word for Its cltlren- shlp, for it* mercantile life, and for Its moral and national growth. We want our friends and all the friend* of White Plains to feel that in The Argus they have a paper which will give heed to their criti cisms, sympathise with their desires and appreciate contributions on all public questions respecting the vil lage welfare. The publication of contributor's views, however, must dot be taken as an endorsement by us of the views therein expressed. What we aim for Is a paper which the citizens of our village and town can always feel has the public good at. heart — the betterment of the com munity, individually, socially, moral and as a business factor. Politically, like Its weekly. It will be Republican; but above all else It will be a White Plains paper, the village's welfare and up-bulldlng being paramount to the Interests of any political organization. ■ Along these lines we bespeak for It a welcome and appreciative sup- port. . . * I SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 91, 1908 Secretary Root stands well in line for the United- States Senate from 'New York. The 225th anniversary of White Plains' puirhasa from The' Indians takes place to-day. The town is most creditably decorated. Chairman Charles H. Tlbblts and Secretary A. P.

Naturalisation Clerk Gagliardi's position growing out of the alleged election frauds of 1907 is most lam entable. A clean, bright, young Italian, well educated and of most excellent address, stands In the shadows of the Elmira Reformatory. And for what! For a financial bene fit! 'TIs too bad that a bright future Is thus plighted! Tax Collector Mahony, of White Plains village, was invited to call at the District Attorney's office Thursday night to g ive bond* on a ehargw of congplrmg to IBfiUce frau dulent voters to take part In the vil lage election- of 1907. He waived examination andgave ball In the sum of 92,009 furnished by John T. RehiU. It seems that after Naturalization Clerk Gagllardl was convicted on a promise of Immunity he and his father were Induced to swear that the tax collector asked him to get twenty-five voters at Ardaley to vote at the village election In 1907. The Tax Collector says that when the proper time comes he will have hts say In court. JAME8 C. FARRELL'S .GTE Ex-Collector James C. Farrell, considering the alleged shortages In his accounts while collector of vil lage taxes, ought to feel flattered by the vote he receive^ at the polls on Tuesday last, . ... ___ _ Certainly the ex-Collector has friends who are loyal to him! This Is a most appreciative endorsement. We hope the shortage In the village funds may yet be explained so that the errors can be accounted for. PRESIDENT BROWN. Have you selected the next Vil lage President? He will have to be a good one to measure up In execu tive ability to President Brown. We don't want to flatter the present ex ecutive, but he has displayed quali ties which have been valuable to white Plains as a community. This must be recognized and conceded.

R 1 is from -the parties to this instru ment that all the titles to -the White Plains lands are derived, and through them the claim of title to much of the real property In the town may be traced, link by link, from the aboriginal proprietors to the present owners. At the time this patent was issued. Broadway with its home lots had long been established. The old house but lately torn.down, north of Mr. William R. Brown ’ s, was then owned and occupied by Daniel Brundage. It was erected prior to 1697 by Sam uel Odell. Geeorge Lane — \gentle man\ — removed from- Rye to White Plains as early as 1714; his house was on what is now the Squire place, and tfiis brother Daniel lived opposite nearkthe present residence of Elisha llortjn, Esq.; Moses Knapp ’ s house wati Jon the road in front of the Mitchell homeetead; James Travis occupied a house on what is now Mr. Tilford ’ s place.

These were all the houses in White Plains at the jlate of the patent, and all the occu pants were men of sufficient educa tion to rea dand write. So rapidly did the population In crease, that, In 1726, the Inhabitants assumed an independent organiza tion, elected officers afid proceeded to pianage their own affairs. Tp'Or fifty consecutive years the office of clerk was discharged by Caleb Hyatt. In 1726 thettflev. John Walton, a graduate of Yale college and a lay preacher, purchased a farm which was bounded on the north by the road tq Dobbs Ferry, which ran a few feet' north of the present Pres byterian church, on the south by land of Jonathan Lane, now of Elisha Horton, and the south side of Railroad avenue. Mr. Walton was a man of great activity, the Sabbath he preached; daring the rest of the week he devoted himself with energy to the carrying on of di verse. secular enterprises. He do nated the land where the Presbyterian church now stands, and it was main ly through his efforts that a church was erected there In 1727. The year. 1720 brougij.t'wlfh ll ah important acquisition to the wealth of White Plains in . the arrival of Moses Owen, who purchased the farm then lately owned by the Rev, Edmund Ward, embracing all the land between Railroad avenue and Spring street, west of Broadway, ex cepting the church grounds. The newcomer was soon honored with the office of \Pounder and for more ait ions in the town. He built/the house afterward occupied by WKliapi Darker for more than half a century ^rior to his death.
