Park Body Cute Down 86 Polee; Sue* Lighting Co. for Trespssa The State Park Commission and the Long Island Lighting Company and Its subsidiary, the East Hampton Electric Lighting Company, are waging a merry battle over the electric light poles which were erected to carry electricity to Montauk Point. Although the Park Commission has been criticised for its action in the matter , it has carried Its case to court and action has been commenced by the State against the lighting companies , clai ming that they tres passed on land belonging to the State. In commenting on the unusual ac- tion of the Commission , the E ast Hampton Star says: After months of planning on the part of right ot way engineers of the Long Island Lighting Company to obtain permits to erect poles for the extens- ion ot light and power service to Mon tauk , these engineers find they are now face to face with another proposi- sition , the Long Island State Park Commission. The other day, the light company claims , to th eir utter dismay, these engineers found eight men at work sawing down the newly erected poles, 81 of them , which extended across the park prop erty, a distance of about two and a half miles. Just what the Lighting Company intends to do about it has not been made public, but in all probability the case will be taken to court. The Lighting Company feels, i t is said , that a great injustice has been done th em by the Park Oomimlssioners. In such cases as this the usual procedur e Is tor the party who in against having the poles on his prop erty to give the company so many days ' notice of th eir removal. The light company claims the Park Commissioners did not notify the company of their In- tention but sent eight laborers down to Montauk with definite orders. The matter has caused considerabl e un- favorable comment against the Park Commission. This unexpected action on the part of the Park Commission has come as a blow to the hopes of the Lighting Company of completing the extension of the light and power service to Mon- tauk in record time. Just how long they will be held up in completing their work is a question. The Christian Jewess . Miss Caroline Raphael , will be the principal speaker at a service in Athena Hall, Port Jef- ferson Sunday afternoon. Her sub- je ct will be \The Veil Removed , \ rel- ative to her personal experiences in her conversion from Judaism to Christianit y. POLE ROW IN COURT At the. meeting of the trustees of the State Institute ot Applied Agri- cu lture on Tuesda y, Director H. B. Knapp reported the largest registra- tion in the entering class that the farm school has known during the 11 year s of its existence. When the fall term opens October 4th, more than E0 new studenta will report for courses In agriculture alone. Last year the total enrollment in all courses was 249. This year it is expected to reach 275 , including the summer session. Members of the upper classes are now returning from a summer spent on farms in all parts of New Tork and neighboring states. These farms were approved by the institute aa com- mercially successful and from the standpoint of furnishing good living conditions and valuable experience for the students. The institute features a large pro- portion \ of applied or field instruction as a part of Its training, so that grad- uates are equipped actually to engage in the business of farming. Prize \G oof\ at Montauk The prize burglar of the entire uni- verse is roamin g loose around the hills of Montauk. He certainl y has a rare manner ot plying his trade. Tuesday morning Jake Wells , call ed by some the Mayor of Montauk , open- ed the office of his general store , ga s- filling station and lobster stand to find th at the cash register was gone. Not only that—the window was open show- ing that the robber had entered by the window but tell-tale tracks showed where the goof burglar had left by the door. Only a few yards from the store the cash register lay in a badly bat- tered state. One end had been ri pped off and the mechanism put out ot com- mission. Jake ran g up \ no sale \ and the drawer of the cash register open- ed to reveal that no money had been taken. The cash register drawer was not locked , no money was taken and the night visitor had entered by the window and left by the front door. That was too much for Jake. He scratched his head and muttered : 'Some burglar!\ Goofey, o r else Mon- tauk isn 't as dry as some folks seem t o say it is. Record Number Enrolled it L 1. Farm I nit It uf a
