OLD TURKEY TRACK , PISSED ITO HISTOEY Many of the old-time sportsmen who used to have many a pleasant after- noon racing horses over the Old Tur- key Track at South Huntington have gone to the hind where such material things are absent. . It D. Woodhull Conkli n , Jesse L. Smith , Morris Brush and come of the other horse lovers were still living, this story would be columns long instead of a few lines. The track had been used for rac- ing purposes many years before the inception - of Uie Long Island Live Stock Fair-Association , which hail a very short existence In tite ' year-1 .890. After the fair had to be given up ow- ing to incejtsant rains every time there was an exhibition , many races took place.. As to these later races William Brahm; Nelson Varccy, Ed- ward Place and mahy other local lov- ers of good horr.es can toil, r -The Van Sehaick : interests held it for a 'long Jlme , until some six or eight years ago Addison IV* .

BECOCHER CHARGES • ' : v ; HEIi):' • lEOttSlVE Commissioner W arren Files a , Report Wi th Mayor Walker on Survey of S , P. C. C. It seems too bad that such a result as lo chronicled below should come out of an investigation started by August Hcckscher , after he has given so much of time and money to remedy an evil that has existed for some time. : Joseph Ai- Warren , Commissioner of Accounts , filed a report Tuesday with Mayor AVallter In which ho declared that he had examined the tes timony produced by August Heckscher In sup- port of his complaint of mismanage- ment and Incompetency in the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, add had found it Inconclusive. Mr. KeckHcher , the donor of the building In which tlie society ' s acti- vities centre , brought charges more than two years ago against the man- agement , - averring that Its methods were \ ruthless iiml unscientific. \ He undertook to have ' the city govern- ment withhold Its: annual - appropria- tion unless tho ' . Institution ' was placed under a different control. In hla report to the Mayor, Commls- Bloncr Warren summarized: his find Ingii as follow?,: . -• - 1. That tho testimony Introduced by Mr. HockKcher In support of Ills claim that the society ' s agents were Incompetent ' unil Inefficient wan in- conclusive,, and during tho eight months devoted to the hearing of Mr. Hookfxher ' H CIIHO Mr. Wilson , hln nt- lornoy, was only able to elte seventeen caaog of nllegeJ abuse of power , cov orlng a period ot twelve yenru , as ugnlnst 217, 132 ciweH handled by the noclety during 'that period. . BLUE AMMUSIANS GIVE RI«T PROFITS During the month of March , the 1 , 000 pullets entered In the New -York State Egg-Laying Contest at Furnilng- dale , L. I., averaged to lay 18 , 284 eggs each. ' As a breed the Blue Andalus- fans were highest with an average of 20.1 eggs each , while the Leghorns were second with 19.4 eggs per pullet. Each Andalusian pullet returned an average of $.393 above the cost of feed while the Leghorns averaged $.372 per pullet profit above feed cost. Single Comb Rhode Island Whites were third highest w-ith a profit of $.298 per bird above the feed cost. Egg prices for March were slightly lower than for February but were approximately the same as during March. 1925. Brown eggs averaged two and one-quarter cents per dozen less than white shelled eggs. The Light Brahmas had the distinc- tion of laying tiie heaviest egg during the month ; their eggs averaged 2.21 ounces, while the Reds were second with an average of 2.06 ounces. From April until November the con- test scratch grain formula is usually equal parts by weight of cracked corn and white wheat. However , owing to the ' Iow cost of corn and the high price of wheat, the \November to April\ mixture will be used throughout the year. This is two parts of cracked com and one of wheat , by weight. Corn In March cost us $2 per one hundred pounds, while white wheat was S2.75. A.year ago corn was $2.80 and whea t ?3.95 . Howard A. Well.;; ' Barred Rocks were the contest leaders for the month with a pioduction of 261 eggs out of a posnible 310. Norman C. Jones ' White Leghorns wero second with 24 9. Cedarhurst Poultry Farm ' s entrv of Leghorns continues to lead the contest for highest production to date with a score of 915 , while a team of the same variety entered by Barnes ' Hollywood Strain Leghorn Farm is second with 90S eggs. Two pullets turned in a perfect score for the month, one was a Rhode Island Red , No. 64—6, owned by tlie Red Bird Farm and the other a Barred Rock , - No. 79—-1 . entered by It. W. Davis & Son. Howard P. Corsa ' s Leg- horn No. 1 11—5 leads (he 1.000 pulk'ls witli ii production of 1215 eggs to date. Ruchlcs ' Sunnysidc Farm ' s -Leghorn , No. S— \i is second with 117 and Howard A. Wells ' Haired Rock , No. 75—9 , ranks third with 11C eggs.

That the testimony Introduced by Mr. Heckscher relating to ihe ad- ministration of the society ' s . 'activi- ties failed to prove that the resigna- tion of certain inemhers of its board and subcommittees was due to any- thing but an honest difference of opin- ion on the part of said directors as to the management of the society ' s affairs , with the exception that the charge made by Dr. Pitman that child- ren were received from the society at his Inslitutioa covered with vermin and body lice. This latter charge Is a distinct reflection on tho manage- ment of the society ' s shelter. 3. That the testimony introduced hy Mr. He - eksclier in support of his complaint that the New iYork Society ' s methods were antiquated and compar- ed unfavorably with the work of sim- ilar societies in other cities , in that these societies lai-J greater stress on charitable and child welfare work , failed in that it ignored the terms of the New York Society ' s charter which created this corporation for the sole purpose of enforcing the criminal laws to prevent cruelty to children. This ivas clearly set forth in the prevailing opinion of the Court of Appeals as written by. Judge-O'Brien. ¦ -. - ' - . ¦ Trie attack on the administration of the New York Society , was , the sub- ject of two investigations within the last two years. One was conducted . by former Federal District Attorney Col- onel Francis G. Caffey, .who acted as referee under direcUon of the Su- preme Court; and who exonerated the society. Subsequently an investiga. - Uon was started under , the direction of former Mayor ' Hylan. by Former Commissioner of Accounts, ' David HIrschfeld. That inquiry dragged on for months, and Commissioner War- ren ' s report is predicated on the tes- timony produced before Commissioner HIrschfeld. Under date of ; May 4 12 , 132-i , Mr, Heckscher, in a cbmmuriicatlon to for- mer Mayor Hylan , outlined his com- plaint ia part as follows : - \It is no exaggeration to say that in this great city we are o ften pursu- ing through the agencies of the ' So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children ruthless and unscientific methods. We drag the child from the home. .We disrupt the home. Wc thus -incur the resentment of the par- ents and we inumldate the child. We act as a, clearing house only for de- linquincy and crime. We overlook thousands of innocent children who need motherly attention rather than a police-man. . - - \For forty-nine years , without super- vision or control , a shaaU group of private persons has designated thou- sands of special police officers , mnny without proper training and qualifi- cation , and charged them with duties and reaponsibllities-of the most sacred character. No secret organization should arrogate to itself such . control. The ' . city- has \ -paid the . bill. ' It is time that the city should voice Its dlsaj- proval. , . • : • 7 . ¦ ' ' -¦ \This problem can be solved in New York , as it has boon elsewhere. The New York S. P. C. C, although the pioneer , has fallen far behind similar organizations in the neighboring cities of Philadelphia and Poston. A lesson in tho proper administration can be learned from the Brooklyn society, across tho river. \ The latter investigation extended over a period of approximately eight months, from- November 18 , 192-1 to July 7 , 1925 nnd twenty hearings were held and eighty-one witnesses exam- ined. Mayor Walker had no comment to make on the report. —N. Y. Times. The Rev.
