Heatl ey May Get 20 Years M A NSLAUGHTER. 1ST DEGREE Murder ed Man Was Son of Former Edit or of Patchogue Advance and For Time Lived in Sayville—Wife Was Also Victim of 8ho p tlng._ George Beckenbaugh , o f Scranton , Pa., who has been on trial in the Court of General Sessions , New York , •everal days this week , was convicted yesterday of manslaughter in the first ' degre e after the jury had deliberated for 20 hours. Beckenbaugh on the S TtJi of last February shot and killed Thomas W. Heatley and wounded his *lfo , Gertrude Heatley, in an a lterca- tion on Wes t 61st street , New York. Hea tley was a grandson of Thomas Hea tley, who 30 years ago was the w vmer and editor of the Pat chogue Advan ce. The murdered man and his parents liv ^ d in Sayville years ago. residing on Lincoln avenue. Beckenb augh took the stand in his •ra defense on Wednesday- and de- scribed the events leading up to the shooting of the man. He said he met Heatley and Mrs. Heatley by appoint- m ent in front of the Owl Club that even ing and that a quarrel ensued be- tween the two men. Sirs. Heatley had testified . the previous day that for a time she .lived with Beckenbau gh. ' \ I would advise you to withdraw that mo tion unless you want mo to grant It, \ Judge Knot said to him. \Your client, has been very lucky. I doubt It another jury would bo as lenient w ith him. He debauched a man ' s wife nnd then followed her and her husband to this city, killed the husban d nnd wounded the wife. I think It was deliberate , premeditated murder. \ Mr. Wilkinson withdrew his motion . The maximum sentence for first de- gree manslaughter is twenty year p ' Imprisonment.

BLUE TRIANGLE ACTIVITIES Girls to Start Dressmaking Lessons and Bible Class Monday. About 40 girl s turned out for the monthly ' business meeting of the Blue Triangle Club on Monday night and heard reports from var ious commit- tees. ^ One of the most Interesting came from the program committee , which submitte d an interesting series of events for the month of May, some serious and some just for fun. Another interesting - report came from Miss Ir ene James , of the service committee , who reported on the penny march for the Near East Relief as the club' s service bit for the month of April , and pleaded for a larger under- standing of the later-Church World Movement. She explained something of the purpose of the movement and asked that the girls be more earnest in their own church attendan ce. A special bit for next month comes next Monday nigh t , when the girls were requested by Miss James to bring jellies , j ams , fruit , eggs or anything of the sort which might be sent to the base hospital at Camp Upton. These things will be brought to the rooms nnd later taken to Mrs. Blayney, who will see that they are sent to Upton. Monday evening JHss Brandt , of the Suffolk County Home Bureau with headquarters at RIverhead , will be here to explain to the girls her plan for a ten-weeks ' cou rse in dressmak- ing, one night a week , a course which will give the girl s a good working knowledge of plain sewing. The Y. W . C. A. girls in a number of towns are making shirtwaists , sport skirts , lingerie, etc Prior to the regular Monday night meeting, beginnig at 7:15 and lasting a half hour , Miss Ruth Johnston will conduct a Bible class on \The Ten Commandments in the 20th Century - There will be a series of ten Monday night Bible classes.

Henceforth It will be known as Montauk Highway, as far as Suffolk County is concerned , and it is understood that Nassau Count y, will likewise take similar official action. Action makin g the chang e in name was taken by the Suffolk Supervisors Monday on a resolution introduced by Supervisor Halsey of Southampton Town , which pointed out that as the road is called Merrick road . South County road and also by other names that it caused confusion and misun- derstandin g, and \ good sense an d common conven ience dictates the ad- visability and desirability of the adop- tion of ono well known designation for such an Important thoroughfare leading as it does to a point of his- torical intere st well known through- out the State and nation. \ Tho Superviso rs have agreed to the immediate construct ion of tho remain- ing link of concrete road between East Quogue and Moriches. It is be- lievetl thoro is a sufficient guarantee from the State that the road contract will be Immedi ately let and the work finished thi s year. The Children ' s Home at Yap- hank Will Close To-morrow DELAY HOSPITAL BUILDING Last September ' s Estimate for Holts- Wile Sanitarium Extension Now More than Doubled—South Country Road is Now Montauk Highway. To-morrow at noon the Childr en ' s Home at Yaphan k will be closed ac- cordin g to the vote this week of the Board of Supervisors Owing to the fact that most of the depende nt children of the county are being placed in priv ate homes and other institutions by Miss Ruth New- man , the county placing agent , it had been felt for some timo that the Yap- hank Institution was a needless ex- pense to the county. The overhead charges at the Home were the same w hether there was one Inmate or sev- enty-five. Count y Superintendent of t he Poor Jonathan Baker recommend- ed the abolishment \ of the Home about a year ago and the Supervisors have since been considering the question. The board will decide later what dis- position is to be made of the build- ing. It may be used for a while for observation purpose s where depend- ent childr en may be taken before be- ing placed in private families or oth- er institution s. Ono part of the road concerned Is from East Quogue to Wo a thamnton , 2.44 miles long. This will be a State nnd county road and the estimate for Its construc tion Is ' $121, 000 , ot which tho State will pay $48 , 000 , t he county $48 , 000 , an d Southam pton Town, for extra widt h, the remaining $25 , 000. Prom Wosthampton to Moriches Is Route 35 , being built entirely nt State expense out of Federal aid mon ey. A part ot that route Is now under con- struction In Moriches. That tho cost of building materials nn d labor hnvo advanced by leaps and bounds duri ng tho past six or eight m onths was again man i fested at tho m eeting of tho Board when tho Board ot Mana gers of tho county tul i orculo - hIk sanitariu m nt Holt s vlllo presented M rui'oh on tho cost of tho construction or n now a dministration buildin g with two wings. I ^ nst September this buildin g could have boon constructed uf wood for $75,000. The figures oil- i a l noil a few dayn ago from a reliable contractor of tho comity show that It will now cost $175 , 000 for tho name kind of conntvn etU i n (wood), $100 , 000 for tllo con fl truotlon nnd a tucco ex- ter ior, nnil $2 05 , 000 tor brick construc- tion. ThoKo figures do not Include tho grad ing of t\° Dlto nor tn0 oq'nPP ' wJ anil furnishi ng ot tho building. Tho proponed building is urgently needed In order to pro perly care for the p u tlontH at tho Iniitltutlon and tho n o on the wnlllnK Hat. but Dr , J . H.

R. TRAFFIC GR OWING New Rolling Stock Badl y Needed Still Undelivered Some 33 , 052 persons commuted on the Lon g Island Railroad in March , 1920 , which exceeds by 10 , 262 , or 45 per cent, the numbers ot commuters in the corresp onding mont h of 1919. Of the 33 ,052 commutation tickets sold in March , 18 , 721 read to Penn- sylvania Station, 14,303 to Long Island City or Brooklyn , and 28 to New York via the 34th street ferry. Forty-seven stations on Long Island had 200 or more commuter s in March . The following table shows the num- ber of commuter s on each division or branch of the Long Islan d Railroad during March , 1920 , and the Increase over the same month of the previous year: • Inc rease over Com- March wuters 1919 Montauk _ g , 204 2 , 349 Main 6 , 180 ' 2 , 066 North Shore 5 ,676 1 , 948 Far Rockaway 3 , 832 . 1 , 233 Rockaway Beach 2 , 907 1 , 181 Hemps t ead 1 , 517 152 Atlantic 2 , 244 430 Oyster Bay 1 ,076 358 Wading River 792 344 Lon g Beach 624 202 \With the new summer schedule beginning May 19\ said an official , and the 100 new passenger cars still undelivered , there is a possibility of our going through a portion of the summer season with the same equip- ment we had last summer. If this should be the case we trust the pa- trons of the Long Island Railroad will bear with the managemen t until the situation can be relieved by the delivery of the steel passenger cars which are now under co nstruction . \ W m.
