TAXPAYERS FAVOR PUN TO ENLARGE THE COURT HOUSE ¦ _?_ i Expense of $200 , 000 or $250 , - 000 Will Not Be Felt Mate- rially— -Mr*. Knapp Adds to Her Popularity in Suffolk. The tentative plan of the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors to build an addition to the Court House at Riverhcad at an estimated cost of be- tween $200 , 000 and $250 , 000 , appears to meet with general approval throughout the county. It is expected that definite action will be taken in the matter by the board at its meeting in Kiverhcad on May 24. The plans call for a new court room for the county court , new offices for the Dis- trict Attorney and also additional space for the County Clerk and Sur- rogate. In these times of bi s appro- nriatiofts for schools and other public buildings , $250 ,000 does not appear to be a large amount of money to ¦ spend, especially in view of the fact that the assessed valuation of real property in Suffolk County this year will be approximately $200 , 000 , 000 . The small tax that would have to br levied on that assessment to pay the interest on and retire the bonds for the proposed improvement would no! figure to any great extent in the tax bills of the property owners. Mrs Florence E. S. -Knapp, .Secre- tary of State , in whose honor a largely attended and very enjoyable dinner was {riven by , the Suffolk County Woman ' s.Republica n Club at the Elks ' Club in Patchogue last Thursday night , has been veTy popular in the county and she . increased her ore\=ti ,ic and the esteem in which she is h eld here by her visit to the county last week. Mrs. Knapp made a splendid impression. Her advocacy of the renominartion and re-election of U. S. Senator James \ W. Wadsworth also struck a responsive chord ,.as the senior Senator from Mew York State has been an idol of the rank and file of the (J.O.P. in Suffolk for a num ber of years and his popularity here is increasing:. (Senator Wadsworth un- doubtedly will be renominated and re- elected by a large.plurality. FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT AT WESTHAMPTOS BEACH MAY 516 The annual parade and tournament of the Sunrise .

Brown , whose bay rum was seized at the easterns house when he came to Riverhcad from the Vir- gin Islands on March 27 , has recei ved this letter from the United States Treasury Department: \In reply to your letter of April 26 , we beg to ' state that bay rum is regarded as a beverage liquor unless it is denatured , and upon importation , chc cus toms authorities have no dis- cretion in the absence of a certificate showing that the same has been de- natured. \The bay rum seized from you on your arrival, ex S , 'S Reliance.

SUPREME COURT RE-OPENS w hen the calendar was called at the opening of the May term of the Suffolk Cou nty Supreme Court in Riyerhead Monday afternoon Justice Selah B. Strong marked the action of the Pauchogue I,and Corporation against the Long Island State Park Commission ready for trial, refusing the request of a representative of counsel for the commission to have the case put over , pending an appeal rf a motion , which was argued in the Court of A ppeals on Tuesday. Jus- tice Strong marked the action at the end of the calendar. William If. Robbins , of counsel for the corporation , protested against aw fu rther delay, declaring that the com- mission had persistently endeavored to prevent the case from, coming to trial. The action is to eject the com- - mission f rom the 1 , 600 acre Taylor estate at Great River , which was ap- propriated by the commission foT a State park in November , 1924. , The commission is in physical pos- session of the property. The case has been on the calendar a number of times , but the commission has suc- ceeded through ' motions in delaying its trii. \ on its merits. Several months ago Supreme . Court Justice John Mac- Crate in Brooklyn denied the motion >f counsel for the commission for. a iismissal of the • complaint on the pleadings. An appeal , was taken and the - Appellate Division • affirmed the ' decision of Justice MacCrate , ^ and then appeal was taken to- the highest- - iourt in the State , which-is now pend- ing. In all probability, the case'will be tried at this.te rm of the Supreme Cpurt , unless , of cou rse , a stay if ob- tained from the Court of Appeals. -It would appear , howeveT , . that the court would be? able to render its de- cision in time to .try the action before the May term of the Supreme Court comes to a close. . _ _ Justice Strong refused to listen to \ the explanation that the representa- tive of cou nsel for the commission at-- ~ tempted . to Tnake mvasking . to . -have .... the case go ovet the term, William Godfrey, of Fort Jefferson, as administrator of the estate of his _ _ young daughter , was awarded only $1 , 500 by a jury in the action he bitnigh t against Frank - Pawcil for jamages for the girl' s death.

Co. for. the death of her .husband , a set- . tlement was effected out of court. . 'It is understood the company paid the widow $7 , 500. . Mrs. Clara Phillips, of Hampton Bavs , was awarded $746.66 by a jury in her action against the Stokes En- g ineering Co., Inc., also of that viU [age. Mrs. Phillips sued to recover about $2 , 000. The litigation was over stock she had acquired in the com- pany. A verdict of $1 , 500 in favor of the plaintiff was rendered in the action brought by William L. Johnson , of Westhampton Beach , against Edith Milbank , a well known summer resi- den t of that village , to recover a ' com- mission on the sale of real estate. . Daniel S. , Jackson and another sued Michael Glynhe. of Patchogue , for - ibou t $900 , alleged to be due for work on Giynnc ' s Patchogue Theatre. The jury awa rded the p laintiffs about $125.

Quinn, of B rooklyn , against Suffolk Count y was dismissed on the call of the ra lendar, there being no appearance on behalf of the plaintiff. Quinn instituted the action to recover upwards of $10 , 000 front the county, which he claimed was due him as rent for land he owned at Mastic , which was taken by the county in i OZO wh' . n wy MoiilAuk hig hway was widened at that point.

Woman Hangs Self in Jail ; Felt Rem orse After Crime Mrs. Ursula Kowalski , 3S years old, the wife of Steve Kowalski , of King? Park , who was broug ht to the count y jail at Riverhcad last week on the charge of assault , first degree , hung, herself in her cell in the woman ' s sec- tio n of the jail Monday morning. She was found about 8:15 a. m., by the matron, Mrs. Burton G. Howe , wife of the sheriff, hanjring from the top bar of the steel grating to her cell. She had taken a sheet from her cot , making a rope of it , tying one end around her neck and the other to th? 'tcel bar. It is believed that she then jumped from the cot and strang led. Although windows of that tier were open no one heard the wn in an strug- gle. She was the only person on that tier. Dr. Albert E. Payne , the jail physician , who was summoned , pro- nounced the woman dead. Mr.< ' Kii- walski appea red to be in good spirits whei: Mrs. Howe took her breakfast to her cell , about an hour before she was found dead. Dr. Clarence C. Miles , of Green- port , one of the Coroners of the coun- ty, who conducted the inquest , decided that Mrs. Kowalski met death through suicide. Her remains ware remover to her home in Kings Park , Monde . / afternoon % Funeral Director Wil- liam H. Clayton , of that village. B^ sides her husband , Mrs. Kowalski is survived by three children , the eldest being twelve years old rtnd the young- est four. M rs, Kowalski was arrested last week for slashing John Merci p, th* eleven-year-old son of a neighbor, ir the back of the neck with a razor. When she was arraigned before Jus- tice of the Peace Benjamin D. Blark- rnari , of .Smithtown , she Ireeiy admit- ted cutting the boy and expressed no regret over her rash act , declaring that she assaulted him because hir parents had been \talking \ about tlf ir The injured boy was taken to the Kings Park State Hospital , where he has been tinder the care of Dr. Charles Brush. It required about 40 stitches to close the wound in his neck and his hands were cut when he grab- bed the razor and prevented I>frs. Ko- walski from inflicting further injur- ies. It is believed that he will re- cover. Owing lo the- g ravity of th-3 crime and in view of the fact that.hir case was to be presented to the May grand jury which convened Monday after- noon , Mrs. Kowalski was not ?.dmitted to bail. It is believed that worry ing over the punislimeii t she anticipated^ caused her to end her life. M rs. Ko- walski was cutting dandelions with a knife when she saw Alice DeArmitt , aged about 10 or 12 years , daughter of another neighbor passing by, - and ?h<? =tJ»rfpd to attack the DeArmitt girl , claiming that the parents of the girl had also been \talking \ about her.

For Ail the News I of Suffolk County I Read The Review Circulation Twice That of Any Other Long Island Weekly Motorcycle policemen J, Kcilog Dominy and Willia m Constable , of Islip Town , recently stepped forth in theiT nice, new , blue uniforms with the gold shieidV upon their :-aps and manly breasts. Soon it became a question among the sweet young things of the village wheth- er or not the blue of the town cop3 was more handsome than the gray of the State enforcers of the law. For this reason it has been quite a blow to the two handsome cops to team that the caps must go. \J. K. \ almost shed tears when explaining the necessity. \They are impractical , ** he an- nounced. \They shake all over your head when you ' re riding fast. You have to grab at them to hold them on , and one of these days a grab like that while chas- ing a speeder is going to mean a bad spill. Not for mine , thank you. \ When asked what would be sub- stituted , \J. K. \ announced that they would be a blue soft cap that could be pulled well down on the head. These caps , he said, would have visors long enough to shade the eyes , and that they would cling to the tu-ad like a sport cap and give no trouble when riding fast.

Earl y last Thursday night the Mpn- tauk Inn , for many yea's one of the best known summer hotels, on Eastern I<ong Island and which was taker, over last winter by Carl G. Fisher ' s development corporation , was totally destroyed b y fire. The fire was dis- covered about 7 o ' clock in a partition between two bedrooms on the second floor of the building. Thomas J. Hallinan , manager of the Jacobson Commissary Department , who was ' on duty at the- desk down- stairs , gave the alarm and notified T, E. Ringwood , engineer in rfiargr of the Fisher development. Within three minutes a small chemical en- gine , a hose wagon and a large num- ber , of employees were in action. • A coll for help was sent to Eas,t Hamp- ton and the fire department of th^ J- Village responded in record-breaking time , but when the East Hampton firemen arrived with \their apparatus , abou t 7:30 , the building was a mass of , flames. The firemen and men em- ployed on the development did effec- tive work in preventing the flames from spreading to nearby buildings. While assisting in saving the im- portant records and maps , which were in the building, Frank White , one of the 250 men employed on the develop: ment , was overcome by smoke. He was taken to Mr. Ringwood' s cottage and artificial respiration was used ef- fectively by E. A. L'EcIuse , of L' - Ecluse , Washburn Company.
