HICKS IS MENTIONED FOR AMBASSADORSHIP Reported That He May Be ! Named as Ambassador to } ¦¦ - China—Clyde H. Ketcham I Appointed Postmaster at Babylon. ! ,,, F , orm er Congressman Frederick C. Hicks , of Port Washington , will soon be honored with an important ap- I pointment by President Coolidge ai- ; cording to those well informed in I national politics. It is said that Mr. \t* { iv«uM like tote the new envoi to China. The former Congressman was President Coolidge ' s campaign manager for the East and accompan- ied General Pershing on his recent South American Jour. The principal obstacle Mr. flicks has to overcome is the fact that New York State now has more than its pro rata share of representation in diplomatic appoint- ments. ' Should some one other than Mr. Hicks be decided upon by the Presi- dent for Ambassador to China , the County Review has itjipon very good authority that there is another very important appointment that will go to Mr. Hicks.

' A report that a man had been held up by a bandit at Jamesport or Thursday morning of last week and at the point of a revolver had been compelled to turn over his automobile , spread like wildfire throughout this section. It developed later that George Bra- cicich , 26 , of Mineola , had been em- ployed to drive George Hoverman, a Coast Guard , attached to the \dry navy \ base at Greenport from Valley Stream to Greenport. Hoverman , hav- ing to report back for duty at a cer- tain time. When passing through the upper part of Jamesport , one of the wheels of the Cadillac Bracicich -was driv- irg, came off and he was unable to make repairs in time for Hoverman to be back to the 'base. Hoverman induced Pete r Zaweski , of Jamesport , to allow Bracicich to take his (Zaweski' s) Eord car, as- suring him that ho would be paid for the use of the cor. Hoverman in- formed Zaweski that he was .a Gov- ernment man. Afte r Biaciciv. ii and Hoverman had ' eft for Greenport some of Za- weskiV. friends suggested that Brac- icich and Horerman might have mis- represented themselves and that there was a possibility that they might not return the machire. Zaweski became alarmed and notified Sheriff Amza w Rmn«;nn(l the latte r assigne d Deput y \ Sheriffs Albert VV. Wiggins and Robert Burns to the case. The two officers met Bracicich returning the car to Jqmespnrt. He had no operator ' s license so he was arrested for operating a car witn- out a license and was brought to Riv- evhcivd , arraigned before Justice of the Peace Robert Burnside and fined $10. Bracicich paid Zaweski $15 for the use of his car. HOT DISCUSSION OVER STATE PARK Former Supreme Court Jus- tice Scudder , Assemblyman Boyle, and Others Par- ticipated in Debate. . The debate on the action of the Long Isl an d State Park Commission in . appropriating the 1 , 500-acre coun- try estate of the late George Tay lor , between East Islip and Great River , which was held at the Community House , Bay Shore , Was largely at- tended and a very animated affair. The sneakers were former Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder , As- semblyman John Boyle , jr., Charles , Suydam , a former tvwn clerk of Islip, William H. Robbine , well known at- torney of Bav Shore , and Mr. Coch- rane , who represented Nassau county. The Rev. William R. Watson , pastor of St. Peter ' s Episcopal church , pre- sided, Scudder declared that Governor Smitli and other officials at Albany had created the State Park . Com- mission because they wore far sighted enough to look into the future and provide places of recreation for the people. He pointed out that the East Islip location was one of the few avail- able park sites to provide a beacn , and produced a map on which were indicated \ the location s of existing State parks. - Scudder was followed by Cochran, who said he agreed in every way with Scudder on the need for parks. However , he objected to the methods employed by the State in seizing sites. His chief contention F »» thnt if land were seized in Suffolk county, the same thing might happen next in Nassau eourt y. Snvdam snoke next , but his re- marks could not be hf>arcl because ot the storm of queries directed at him by the audience. In the face of an organized hecklintr movement , he re- sumed his seat without completing his address. . \ Another speaker whose remarks i were drowned in tho uproar was As- semblyman Boyle. William H. Bishop, a well known and popular residen t of Bay Shore, died suddenly on Monday afternoon of heart failure while fighting a grass-tire which had gotten beyond 1 * ; ... ., -„ l,:- nmiwil^tr .1 *- fj'CO- Neo near Bav Snore.

Nine carloads of tile arrived at 1 [slip this week , which will be used in constructing buildings for the State park. DIED FIGHTING FIRE State Health Commissioner Demands Clean-Up of Sewage Situation Orders All Sewage Being Emptied into Peconic River] Peconic Bay and Gardiner ' s Bay to be Treated with Chlorine or Lime—Declaim Contaminated Oysters Were Found in Gardiner ' s Bay—Is Pleased with Spirit of Co-operation Manifested by Local Officials and Rep- resentative Residents — Has Assigned Resident Sanitary Eng ineer . All sewage emptied into the Peconic river , the Peconic bay and Gardiner ' s bay must first be treated with chlor- ine or lime or the sewers must be re- moved , according to the edict of Dr. Mathias Nicoil , jr., the State Commis- sioner of Health , who presided at the hearing hold at the Riverhead Coun- ,ry club last Friday, on the complaints made against emptying sewage into chose waters. It was aliu announced at the hear- ing that the State Board of Health hud assigned W. A. Tiedoman as resi- dent sanitary engineer to see that the M'deis of I ' m; Slnlc- Commissioner are complied with. . Dr. Nicoil declared that the inspections mad? h y the en- gineers of his department had shown oysters in Gardiner ' s bay to be con ^ taminated b y-cewage. He emphasized the fact that -corditions existed that were dangerous to the health of the residents of the villages adjacent to the river ard bays and the person s who bathed in these waters as well as those who ate oysters and other sea food taken therefrom. The others «>v.r, .,r,nV o fnr fh<> State were C. A. Holmquist . division . -r.mtary engineer , and George W. Davis , ' Deputy Attor- ney General. Mr. Tiedcman , the resi- dent sanitary engireo.r , and Dr. Rich- ard Sice , the district sanitary superin- tendent , were also present. Deput y 'Attorney General Davis stated that it would be the duty of his department to proceed with actions against individuals , companies , incor- porated villages or towns owning sew- ers , at the direction of the State Board of Health , providing the .State regulations in regard to the disposal or treatment of.seWage continue to be violated. According to Mr. Holmquist , no per- n-it had evf r been issued by the State Board of Health , as required by law , for any sewer to empty in the river or the bays (Peconic or Gardiner ' s) and that the law had been and was being violated in that respect. Dr. C. C. Miles , of Greenport , was certain that a permit had been issued to the Eastern Long Island Hospital , and Mr. Holmquist said that he did not doubt Dr. Miles , -butrthat he (Holm- quist) had found no record of it in the file s of the State Board of Health. After permits are issued they may uu revoked at any time , according to Mr. Holmquist , if the sewage is found to be polluting the waters into which it is beine emptied. Dr. Nicoil and Mr. Holmquist were of the opinion that no great expense would have to bo incurred in install- ing tanks \ where the sewage coul d be treated with cmonne or lime . Bay- men \nd others * declare that the remedy suggested . will bel far more injurious to sea food than the \di-> tase \ about which such a big \fuss \ is being made. Chlorine and lime, it is cor tended by the bayrrieh , will drive the fish out of the river and\ bays. The only pnhlicly-owned sewer on eastern Long Island is the one which serves the county buildings at River- head. Supervisor Abraham L. Field , of Huntington , chairman oi the Count y Board of Supervisors , was asked b- Dr. Nicoil what the county intended to do to abate the pollution caused by the' sewage from that sower. Chairman Field replied that the county probabl y would install septic tanks to 1 take care of the sewage from the county buildings , but that a. num- ber of private residences on Griffin? avenue were connected with the count y owned sewer , and that the owners of, those residences would have to make their own provisions for treating their i?ewage. Dr . Nicoil said' tnat-would -be satis- factory so far an the county was con- cerned and he instructed Dr. A, G. Terrell , health officer of Riverhead town , to see that the regulations were complied with in respect to the pri- vate residences that are beine served b y that sewer and also the other sew- ers in , the village. Others who were interrogated by tjie State Commissioner in u-gai.1 t.. what they intended to do in regard to rcmeuymg the K';M;I K '- MLU.I!...:\ . were the followirg: Frederick Klipp, Percy TuthilJ, Dr. Joseph S. Ogie, and \ Frank D. Schaumbcrg, officials of private sevvivs in Creerport; Fred- erick H. Tasker , who appeared as counsel for tin- villa;; . - of Greenport. the villape of Dcring (Shelter Isl- and) th- Sh»llor island Town Board (Continued on page 2) PICKLE SALTING STATION AT JAMESPORT SOLD The H.

KELENS LOSE THE $75, 000 ACTIONS AGAINST DR. MILES Jury Convinced-That: Greenport Physician Was Not Responsible for Collision at Arsha- momoque , Which Resulted in Serious Injury of Mattituck Young Man—Other Cases in Suffolk Supreme Court. Dr. C. C. Miles , of Greenport , one of the Coroners of Suffolk County, was not responsible for the collision at Arshamomoque on October 3 last between his automobile and a s motor- cycle ridden by Frank Kelen , a youth of Mattituck , according to the verdict of a jury in the Supreme Court at Riverhead on Tuesday. Young; Kelen , who ¦ had his right leg broken and sustained other serious injuries , brought suit for $50 , 000 and his mother , Mrs. Pauline Kelen , sued for $25 , 000 to reimburse her for money- she had expended for medical attend- ance for her son and for the loss of his servic\' . The two actions were tried together , with Rowland Miles and Ruger Brothers, the latter of Brooklyn , ap- pearing for the plaintiffs ,, and LeRoy Edwards , of Manhattan , formerl y of East Marion , as trial counsel for the defendant , being assisted by Fred Locker . Jr., of Manhattan ana Green- port. The jury rendered a verdict for the defendant in both actions. Several witnesses called by the de- fense testified that they ' . observed Kelen was driving his motorcycle at —.-.- !.... «.,*., *.f ,nAnrf- iiinf l,nfni.D J. «~.fc,.\ », * .t. .M-u »- w -- . the collision occurred; Other wit- nesses stated that Kelen had told them he ran into Dr.. Miles ' machine, when he (Kelen) turned out to avoid hitting a woman on a bicycle. Kelen denied he was driving fast at the time of the accident. His injured leg . is five inches shorter than the other leg and he will probably be crippled for life. Last week it was erroneously stated that the jury rendered a verdict for the defendant in the damage actions brought by William McCann and Miss Josephine Da niels , of Bay Shore , against John F. Dolling, of . Manhat- tan , a summer - resident of East Quogue. The jury disagreed , stand- ing, it is understood, ei ght to four in favor of bringing in verdicts for the plaintiffs, who were represented by Robbins & Wells , of Bay Shore. Miss Daniels lost the sig ht of one eye in a collision last August between automo- biles owned by McCann and Dolling. She sued for $25 , 000 damages and McCann , with whom she was riding, sued for damages to his machine. Verdicts for the plaintiffs were ren- dered by a jury in the actions brought by Nicholas Masem and William Hahn , against Gustave- Schmidt , of Pat- :hogu ' e, to recover on a building con- tract, \ Mr. Masem was awarded ?297.50 and Mr. Hahn , $535. Justice May reserved decision in the action brought by Marinus Decker for the annulment of his marriage to Helen Decker , which was undefended. Decker declared that he was forced to marry his wife , his father-in-law , mother-in-law and brother-in-law threatening if he didn 't. He said he was actually dragged Into the room , where the ceremony was performed , After ' Decker had be en kept in the house for two days he had to consent to the ceremony. He claimed the marriage was procured by fraud. He ' never lived with his wife. Decision was also reserved by Jus- tice May in the following ether un- defended actions: Charlotte Govior brought suit through h\r mother , as guardian , for the annulment of her marriage to Harold R. Govier. Mrs. Govier was only 10 when the ceremony took place and she is now 17. It was home time before Mrs. Govier ' s mother learned of the marriage. C. J ill. Burns brought ^.uit for an nhenlntp divorce against his wife , Lottie Burns. Frank Leopard! sued his wife , Ade- line Leopard! , ' for an absolute divorce. \ Eleanor J. Homan was the plaintiff in - an action for absolute divorce - against her husband , Walter I'V Homan. Adam Muller , of . Lindenhurst , . _ brought an action against Gustave A. Wagner , a contractor \ of \HicksviHejT and others to recover about $5 , 000 for breach of contract in connection with the construction of a building erected by the plaintiff at Lindenhurst. It was claimed the foundations were ' not - built according to specifications and after .. Muller ' s architect had served notice upon- Wagner to rebuild the- . -- foundations and the latter had refused \\ ~ r Wagner, the contract was cancelled- - ' - and Elmer Howell , of Babylon , an- - j other . contractor , finished the job . A : verdict was rendered in .favor of the defendants who put in a. counter- .. .; . claim of: about $3 , 100 for the work they had done and ' their estimated profit , the jury allowing $2 , 125 on their counter-claim. In the separation action brou ' ght by - Walter M. Chichester , of Center Mor? iehes, against his wife , Mary H. Chi- chester , Rowland Miles was named ; as referee to determine whether the* plaintiff or the defendant should have the custody of their children. It is understood there was a settlement out of court of the other features of the • action. Court adjourned for the term on Wednesday night. Only a small per- , centage of the. 185 cases on the calen- dar were tried. The offer ot Slfi . 000 in cash for the property of the Suffolk County Historica l Society, corner of Main street and Oriffing avenue , River- head , made by J, Krtfl Dugan , rea l C^iUtC- brun^l' , uQ llu* Vt.utgc , uv:Ullg for I. Goldberg, realty operator of Far Uockaway, was refused at a meeting of the officers of the so- ciety held this week. After Mr. Dugan had made the offer of $15, 000, one for $16 , 000 was made by William L. McDer- mott , also a Riverhead broker , who represent* an out-of-town party and a third party, according to one of the officers of the society, has offered $18.00C» . It is believed by some that the property may be sold fur more than $£n , fwn . .Nothing definite will be done about the sale of the property, it is said , until the annual meeting of the society, which will be held on the th' rd Tuesday of May. Mr. Goldberg recentl y purchased from George .H. Moore , the prop- erty adjoining that of the society, and he will erect n store and apart- ment building on that site . Officials of the society stated that the reason the offer made by Mr . Dugan was not accepted was because the property was not for sale at p resent. HISTORICAL SOCIETY REJECTS $15,000 OFFER Last Thursday the residence of Col. and Mrs. Walter F . Barnes , coiner of Roanoke avenue and First street , Riverhead , was dis- covered to have been entered dur- inir their nhepnrn in I'Vs t\-^ n*Hf»rp they spent several months. The knob of a small safe was battered and the house was ransacked from cellar; to \-p aeieti- . Lthe contents of dressers , closets and the buffet , in- cluding valuable silverware and linens , were strewn about the floors. tThe panels of the door leading into the dining room were broken. Until the arrival of Col. and Mrs. Barnes , who are expected home today (Thursday) it will not be known what was stolon. It is belie ved ihi guilty party \ or pnriicp had a key to one of the doors , as all of the windows and doors were locked and there is no indication that any was broken . Miss Christine Litchafd , a neigh- bor of Col. and Mrs. Barnes , dis- covered that the house had been ente red when she opened it to make preparations for their home-com- ing. warden . George Goebel of the county jail was assigned by Sheriff Amza W. Biggs to investigate the case. Thus far there is no clue. THE BARNES RESIDENCE ENTERED 11V THIEVES SUFFOLK SCHOOL BOW HELD AN ANIMATED MEETING Governor and State Leg islators Warned Not to Drag Educational Bills^ into \Politics \ --- State Executive Urged to Sign $9 , 000 , 000 School Apportionment Bill-Other Measures Discussed . Suffolk County School Boards and trustees met Saturday as an organi- zation at the Riverhead Country Club for the purpose of discussing pending legislation and other such matters as might -prove of interest to the schools. After a very pleasing luncheon set before each of the 110 members by Steward fieeve , of the elub , Mrs. O. G. Pike , of the Riverhead School Board , called the meetirg to order and announced its purpose. In a very able and grae:ous manner she kept the meeting riveted to the thing in hand , item b y item; until , at its close , it was voted the best of its kind so far and more meetings of the same kind were called for. The great issue was of course a fight between the proponents of local control of our school and tho. «> who would have school government in the hands of outsiders. A portion of the contents o! a b. 'H had been sent out to school boards by tho secretary show- ing that a movemen t had actually been brought under way to legalize the wholesale removal of vital control from the Boards of Education by em- powering and commanding, under bi aiuit; , I I M L D' ulsUi 2upcrirtcrdcr.tr should hereafter employ and discharge and pay and fix the salaries of all grade teachers. On the surface of \ things- it would seem that- nobody would be in favor of this bill which had brought the Boards together al- most in white rage. However , it very soo n became evident that there were those present , not School Board mem- hers, who were at heart proponents of that bill. R. A. Searing, of Roch- ester, secretary to the State Organi- zation of School Boards , became at once the source of competent informa- tion , not- onl y on matters of pending legislation , but upon matters of the manner in which legislation is now- being put across and upon matters to who at present are the forces between, which issues arise. He made it clear that the Association of Mayors now constitute the core of op- position to local control of schools ' and seek corstantly by all means to have schools brought under political con- trol. . Whenever anything is put across by the Mayors and those lobbyists who represent them, affecting the cities , it follows within a year or two always that a bill will seek to put the same thing across for country and village schools. If the Association of Mayors is now a menace to wholesome city r.chool ffovernment , then it follows that the associations oi vthv-i aixi.ar \\ • ¦ \ ticians , ramely those who lead town politics, would be an equal menace were they in absolute control ol country and village school govern- ment. < The meeting voted a set of resolutions opposing every measuio now before the legislature which in any w.iy seeks to abbreviate the con- trol of schools by local school boards and ordered the same sent immediate- ly b y telegraph to the Governor and our represertatives in the legislature at Alba.iy. District Superintendent Leonard J. Smith raised the question as to why he had not received an invitation to the meeting. There had been just two invitations issued by the secretary, one to Mr. Searing, of Rochester , who was present, and ore to Judge Gil- bert, the legal counsel for the Depart- ment of Education , who was com- pelled at the last moi pent and with re- grets , to decline the invitation. Dut in issuing his call ,-the secretary, Mr. Swanson , of Greenport, had specific- ally asked school Board members . \to invite any interested citizens besides youiael f and associates ard ho euro to include your principal or superinten- dent. \ Everybody, but Superinten- dent Smith became instantly aware of the real situation. It was of course . .-f..,,.Vin ^ fkn*. „., nnV.^r.1 P.—J In his district had invited him- even though they had been urged to do so. Speakers of the afternoon besides the guest of honor were . President A. V. \ Young, of the Greenport Board; W. D. Halscy, of Bririjg ' ehamptcn ; Attorney Raymond Smith, of Ea?t Hampton ; Principal E. B. R obinson of th ' e Isli p school ; Superintendents Matthews , Craft and Smith, of \ the three supervisory districts ; Dr. Fos- te 1- . of Southampton , and many others. Chairman Pike ramed as a commit- tee on resolutions Raymond A. Smith, of East Hampton; Oscar E. Swan- son , of Greenport; Leonard J. Smith , of Northport; P. B. Matthews , of Bridgchampton , and Hoscoe C. Craft , of Port Jefferson. Although this com- mittee were very clearly of divergen t personal' views , it was not difficult for them to translate into formal resolu- tion the very definite and emphatic will of the convention. Resolutions were immediately drawn . and for- warded to Albany . It was further resolved that the the School Boards extend their thanks to Mr. Searing for this undertaking at such great personal sacrifice to come all the way from Roche ster in order to advise the m as to the best course of procedure in matters of such vital concern to all schools. It was r^rt' iOi' i*Ci \Ivrd t\ C.V*<JT, H *Hni»prp thanks to the Board of Directors of (Continued on page 2) The Leading Newspaper of j Suffolk County The Review Brings Results To Advertisers A dinner in honor of Rev.
