TO RECLAIM SOUTHAMPTON TOWN LANDS At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of South- ampton , it was decided to bring to the attention of the residents their consideration of the following needs : It is generally not realized the extent of property owned by the inhabitants of the Town and con- trolled b y the Trustees. There are aibout 25 , 000 acres , mostly under water , and some is- lands , paths , roads and cordwood landings , strips of shorefront , to- gether with the- . waters and products thereof. There is nee d of some improve- ments to the water highways and harbors , owing to the increased number of large boats; the safe- guarding nf propert y of residents and protection of some of its islands that they may not become attached to the mainland , when they would become lost to the inhabitants; there is need of establishing a bulk- head line along the meadow front of certain sections where much im- provement and filling in of meadows by private owners are in progress , that they may be properl y connect- ed one with another; the taking up in the autumn and replacing in the spring of the buoys marking the main channel ways of .Southampton West ILine to IPeeonic and some of the harbor channel ways. Your Board of Trustees have un- der their control for the inhabitants of Southampton Town at least 100 different parcels of propert y, and in justice to the residents , we believe we should bring to their attention the need of surveying and locating some if not all of such property, so that the Trustees may exorcise proper supervision over same and the inhabitants enjoy the privileges of came, __ BOATMEN WORK RACKET AT TOWN DOCK Association at Bab y lon Runs Tilings Rather Hi g h Handed. Without mincing words Captain Abram C. Hulse, a former New York City police captain and now • resident of Babylon , informed the Babylon Town Board last week that the Babylon Boatmen ' s Asso- ciation is conducting a racket at the town dock at the foot of Fire Island avenue. He summed up his complaint by saying the associa- tion is challenging the right of every taxpayer to free use of the dock and that it is also challeng- ing the authority of the Town Board. Captain Hulsc ' s complaint , he bi»i<l , was the result of an attempt he made to tie up to the dock on-j morning early this month. He said he was told to move on by the president of the association , Guy Davis, of Frecport , because ho wag interfering with the business of the association. Following that , he said , he investigated the mike- up of the boatmen ' s group and learned that about half of the membership lived outside the town of Babylon. \The president of the association and the treasurer live out of the township, and about 75 per cent, of the money taken in at the dock leaves Babylon , \ said Captain Hulse. \Still our taxpayers must pay for the water they use to wash their boats , while we must use bay water. Now this group is spon- soring the construction of an 'L' addition to our dock. Are we sup- posed to pay taxes so that out- siders will have the benefit of the facilities V Members of the Babylon Town Board had heard much complain. - (Continued on Page Five ) STREE TS THR ONGED FOR OPEN AIR BAND CONCER T Second Program b y the Riverhead Band Listened to bv Large and Enthusiastic Crowd. Despite the coolness of the night , a large crowd listened to the open air concert Monday evening from the lawn of Ye Olde Tavern on Griffing avenue , by the Riverhead Band. The band is composed of some 35 musicians who come from various parts of tue county, sonic ^rom as far east as Orient , and 32 mem- bers were in the semicircle when Leader DeForrest Payne raised his baton. Cars were parked for blocks along Griffing avenue , Second street and Roanoke avenue. The Sarking space opposite the Court [ouse was also filled. The cars lined both sides of the streets. It is estimated that more than 1 , 000 people were within easy hearing distance of the band. The greater part of Monday was rainy and cold and not at all the kind of weather for an open air band concert so during the after- noon it was decided to postpone the concert for a week. During the early part of the evening however , cars commenced to arrive on Griffing avenue and Second street and pick out the choice spots. Many of the bandmen who had not been advised of the postponement also arrived and as the weather had cleared and a beautiful evening w:»s in prospect , it was decided to hold the concert. Charles W. Weller , of the Long Island Lighting Com- pany, was appealed to and in short order had arranged the large spot- lights. The band presented a most pleasing program , consisting of marches , medleys and overtures. A medley of Southern airs seemed to please the audience most as evi- denced by the loud and continuous applause. This selection was di- rected by assistant leader , Elwood Helsel , of Hampton Bays. The trombone quartet , \Trombone Blues , \ rendered by trombone soloists Gilbert Wickheizcr , Her- bert Stuber , Raymond Jackson and Joe Moore , was also one of the outstanding numbers of the other- Wise pleasing program. The band members are entitled to a rising vote of thanks from the community in consenting to render these open air concerts without remuneration but prompt- ed only by a desire to aid their village ir . the promotion of a more friendly and harmonious spirit. In line with this spirit of help- fulness and a desire to help each other in the spreading of harmony, an editorial in the Christian Science Monitor by Miss Mabel Moore , of Northpprt , is timely. It shows that Riverhead is in line with other American communities in the matter of a band and pub- licity in the local paper though we still need a band stand but hope it is one o,. uic Lnings to be ioukeu for and enjoyed next summer. The editorial takes the same heading, \Oh . Listen to the Band , \ of an editorial printed in The County Review several weeks ago , and which was the inspiration for the present open air concerts in this village. The editorial follows : Close observation of newspapers printed in cities and towns dotted throughout these United States shows that the civic band is doing its part this summer to keep the air melodious and the populace happy as it catches the lilt of a lively \ selection. \ From many a bandstand set in the center of a carpet of green grass , the musicians have pursued their cheerful task of entertaining throngs of townspeople who have come out by the hundreds \ after supper \ to hear the concert. The programs to be offered have re- ceived wide publicity by the local newspapers , who have not been neglectfu l of classical compositions along with those gayer numbers which start the crowd to humming familiar measures caugh t in a sil- ver web of song. In many in- stances , the formal part of the program has been followed by community singing under the stars , with the civic band leading off with high enthusiasm. Aside from the pleasure the band concert furnishes to anyone who will accept the invitation to \listen in , \ it also provides a medium whereby the musical aptitudes of a number of gifted \intrumental- ists \ may find their best expres- sion. Many of these men of the smaller towns , who constitute the membership of tne civic band , practice long and diligently with slight remuneration to give the public a few hours of outdoor music during the summer months. But they certainly find a large measure of enjoyment in their work , and help to send a floating •banner of good cheer to the far corners of the community. It is believed if the weather per- mits , another concert will be given in Riverhead next Monday eve- ning. . _ _ , INSTRUCTOR KILLED IN PLANE CRASH John Urnezis of Sound! Avenue , the Pupil , Sli g htl y Injured. Charles Berezny of Northville , died in the Eastern Long Island Hospital at Greenport , Thursday nigh t from injuries he received in an airp lane crash near \' attitude early that evening. Berezny, an experienced aviator , was teaching John Urnezis , also of Northville , to fly. They took off in a new bi-plane owned by Stan* ley Naugles , who conducts a pri- vate airfield at Northville, but were unable to gain altitude. Sud- denly, while over the property of Ellis Reeve , two miles west of Mattituck , the machine dive r ' , landing with a crash. The accident happened at 7.30. In the descent , Urnezis either leaped or was thrown fr m the plane , and escaped with in t r in- juries , but Berezny was oaur ' it in the wreckage. Mr. Reev wK had witnesed the crash , fre i \ ¦ lot , while Officer George Muliiall summoned Dr. George Berrman from Mattituck. Berezny a; rushed to the hosp ital , but ~ied two hours later of hemorrhages re- sulting from punctures of both his lungs . Shortly after Berezny had been taken from xhe wreckt^e . someone in the crowd attracted to the scene lit a cigarette and the plane took fire. It was destroyed. Announcement was made Satur- day that District Attorney Blua had started an investi gation into the crash. It js understood that tha two went up first with Berezny at the controls , then landed , and , af- ter exchanging p laces , started up again. The crash followed. The machine was a Travel-Air (Please Turn to Page Seven) LAST WORDS OF MISSING AIRMEN F0UND Written in Bottle , Found at Oak Beach Several Days A go. The first authentic word of the fate of Captain Charles Nungesser and Major Francois Coli , intrepid French airmen , who set out from Le Bourget , France , for North America on May 8 , 1927 , was re- ceived on Friday, August 14 , when a note apparentl y written b y them was found floating near the shore in a cognac battle at Oak Beach by two LindenhuTst men. Lester V. Alters and John Gaucher , the latter a summer resident of the Sunny Point section, discovered the note , yellowed with age , inside the bottle while walking the beach at the Fire Island Inlet section. The message , written in French , when translated later read , \We art ainking this moment near Labrador \ , and was signed by both Nungmaer Mid Coli , the former ' s handwriting rather indiscernible and scribbled , tha lat- ter penciled very dearly. There was . neither date nor time on the message , but at the top of the note was a series of dots and dashes which may reveal further informa- tion. Mr. Alters took his find on Sun- day morning, August 16 , to Roose- velt Field , where he learned later that the signatures were positively identified as being true. Should th note prove genuine, it will make for ihistory, establishing the fact that the 'French plane was really the first to A y the Atlantic. In that event , the fliers actually reached the American continent but died a ter- rible death in the wilderness of Labrador. Until Friday, no authen- tic word was ever given as to their fate , although many unfounded rumors were received. Numerous planes were sent to search the northern wilds when reports were received that fliers had been sighted in 'Newfoundland/out no trace of the men was ever found. \ARTEMIS\ RUM BOAT IS FOUND Escaped After Battle with Coast Guard- Located b y Blue ' s Officer. As a result of an encounter with a Coast Guard patrol boat , John Johnson and Carl 'Reiter , of Green- port , are in the Eastern 'Long Is- land Hospital at Greenport with numerous bullets in their bodies , as briefly told aibout in last week' s Review. Johnson and Reiter are said to have been members of the crew of the Artemis , a fast speed 'boat from Greenport, which was engaged in rum running. The Coast Guard patrol boat is alleged to have sighted the Artemis a few miles off Orient Point shortly after midnight , and commanded her to stop. The Artemis answered by putting ojn more speed. The patrol boat thereupon opened fire. More than 100 shots were fired at the fleeing arum boat. Thirty to forty of the shots struck the Artemis . Johnson received a bullet wound in the head and (Reiter is suffering from numer- ous bullet wounds in the body. The Artemis escaped from the patrol and landed on the beach at Orient , where the cargo was un- loaded and the injured men taken off the boat and driven to the E. L. I. Hospital. Some of the liquor that was taken off the Artemis was load- ed into three dories , which were afterwards picked up b y the Coast Guard patrol. Johnson ' s condition is said to be critical and Reiter ' s injuries are said to be serious. The Artemis is fifty-two feet long and equipped with three Liberty motors of twelve cylinders each and capable of doing fort y-five knots an hour. The Artemis was secret- ed away from Orient and was finally located by Investigator William H. iFillbach , of the District Attorney ' s office , at the Port Jefferson ship- yard , Port Jefferson. The Artemis was just being pulled out of the water to be placed in the shed when located by Investigator Fillbach , who immediatel y notified the Bay shore omce of the 'Uoast G-jard , who have established a guard over the boat. RIVERHEAD BOY VICTIM OF \STICK UP\ Donald Warner , Em- p loye of Country Club —Locker Room Till Emptied. One youth is under arrest and another is 'being sought for a holdup at the North Fork Country Club at Cutchogue. They took about $30 belonging to members and to the club. The prisoner is Stephen Sachak , of Cutchogue , on whom the money is said to have been found. Donald Warner , 22 . of River- head , in charge of the locker room at the club , was alone in the lock- ers when two men with handker- chiefs tied over their eyes entered and ordered him to throw up his hands. The pair then opened the cash drawer , emptied its contents , and disappeared. Constable Joseph Smith , of Greenport , was called to investigate. Sachak is being held without bail in the Riverhead jail for a hearing on a charge of first degree robbery. Officers Lane and Romanski , of the (District Attorney ' s office , have also arrested John Clusivich , also of Cutchogue , and he is held also for further examination. ARRESTED FOR REM0VING T1RE FK0M MAIL B0X Driver of Patchogue Truck Took It from in front Home of W. H. Young. Several days ago William II. Young, who lives on the main road at Aquebogue , ordered an automo- bile tire from a concern out of town. Yesterday the tire was de- livered by the rural mail carrier , who hung it on the mail box in front of Mr. Younp ' s house. A few minutes later , about 2:30 , Mir. Young saw a truck stop in front of his house and noticed a man get out of it , go to the mail box and return to the truck with some- thing ir. his hand that resembled a tire. He soon discovered he was correct and then in his own car hastened to Riverhead , where he enlisted the aid of Policeman Wal- ters. The truck had passed through Riverhead and was proceeding west. About a mile up the Middle Island road the truck , belonging to the E. Bailey Lumber Co., of Patchogue , was overtaken and searched and the tire , wrapped in paper and having the address tag and Mr. Young ' s name still on it , was recovered. The driver was placed under ar- rest and taken before Justice Conk- lin. He gave his name as George Mahel. He was held for further examination today.

One man was killed and another seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver on the IMiddle Country road about 150 feet east of the Brook- haven—Smithtown town boundary line , north of Lake (Ronkonkoma , Saturday night. iNo trace of the heartless driver can be found. The man who lost his life was Thomas E. Weinstein , 34 , of 967 Washing- ton avenue , New York , and the in- jured one , Thomas N. Stillwagen , 22 , of 1840 Bronxdale avenue , New York. Weinstein , who was married and the father of a 12-year-pld son , con- ducted a puHic advertising system. He owned two automobiles equipped with portable transmission sets. He had been engaged by the promoters of Nature ' s Gardens , a real estate development on the Middle Country road , near Selden, to broadcast music for dancing on the develop- ment as well as radio advertise- ments about the countryside. Saturday night , about 9:30 , while he and his wife were directing the dances , he received a phone call from Stillwagen , one of his drivers , to the effect that a shoe on the lat- ter ' s car had gone flat on the Mid- dte Country road at Moriches road , near the Smithtown line. Wein- stein , requiring the use of his sec- ond radio set , purchased a new tire at Simon ' s garage near the develop- ment. He engaged Joseph Cook, of Selden , to drive him and George McAllister , of 503 East 162nd street , the Bronx , one of his employees , to where Stillwagen was parked on the highway. When Cook reached Stillwagen , who was parked on the south side of the highway, Weinstein got off the truck and crossed the pave- ment to Stillwagen. That was the last time Cook and McAllister saw him alive. Cook , in order to turn his car around and bring the heavy tire to Stillwagen ' s machine , kept on west until he came to the Mo- riches road , where he backed off the pavement and turned. When Cook and McAllister rolled the new tire to Stillwagen ' s car they found him lying unconscious almost under his car. Weinstein was prone upon the pavement fifteen feet east of Stillwagen. Cook called Dr. Carl H. Menge , of Smithtown , who pro- nounced Weinstein dead and hur- riedly removed Stillwagen to his office for treatment. The latter ia now recovering at the home of his mother on Burns road, Selden. Town Officer Alvin Smith was the first official on the scene. He learned from Cook and McAllister that while they were turning their truck around on the Moriches road , two- cars headed west and one east pass- ed them , but they could not teU which had struck Weinstein and Stillwagen. A tool box on the left running board of Stillwagen ' s car had 'been struck with something so forcibly that it had been moved from its fastenings so that the door of the car could not be opened. This leads the police to believe that an east-ibound car caused the damage. When Stillwagen recovered suffi- ciently enough to talk , he said that he and Weinstein were bending over , examining the flat tire when an eastboumd car , running without lights , or onl y parking lights , struck them. He is positive about th e lac k of illumination , he says , as he would have noticed their glare if the lights) were on before he was struck. It was not until two hours later that Mrs. Weinstein learned of her husband' s tragic death. When h» left the dance hall to repair his dis^ abled truck , she continued to oper* ate the portable radio in their other truck , parked on the development for the dance being held there. When the merrymakers b e c a « • aware of the reason why the muflie ceased , they quietly left the prenv When Coroner Or. W. B. Gibson was apprised of the facts in Weiu. - stein ' s death by Officer Smith , fcj issued a permit for the removal or Weinstein ' s remains to his «Hjr home without visiting the scene of the tragedy. A general alarm was sent out by Smith and State police to every police station in the county to be on the look-out for any \ car that might have figured in the acci- dent. ' . . ' SOUTHOLD ENTERTAINS COU NTY FIREMEN Thousands View Parade and Program of Contests ALL MOTO R EQ UIP MENT NOW Red Shirts of B y-gone Days Succeeded b y Natty Blue Uniforms and Old Helmets b y Caps—Suffolk' s United Departments Unequalled AH roads led to Southold yester- day, when the annual tournament «* the Suffolk Count y Volunteer 'Firemen ' s Association was held th**. Early in the morning th$ amain highway through Riverhead ¦ *• ¦ well filled with a continuous stream of automobiles interspersed with motor apparatus , and this line •f . pleasure cars continued until wall along in the afternoon. By *W» o ' clock , the time for the start of the parade, all available parking •pace in the Main street and all the •He streets for a mile back of the ¦ main street were crowded with parked cars. At this time a police •Ulcer was stationed at Vail Broth- ers ' corner , at Peconic , directing traffic over the back road. At that *i»e the main road was choked with «M* nearly all the way from South- Old to Peconic. The parade started quite prompt- ly • shortl y after ten o ' clock and many who had figured that this parade , like all other firemen ' s parades , would be at least an hour late, were keenly disappointed when they arrived at Southold to find that tM biggest part of the parade had PMsed. It took about an hour for *\• parade to pass a given point. \Older residents of the county who have been following the firemen ' s tournaments for years , and who fcave taken an active part in fire- taanic affairs in the past , were OMnimous in their statements that thia was one of the finest they had aver seen. , All Motor Apparatus All . the apparatus in line , and nearly every community was rep- resented, was motor propelled. A few years ago , there were to be seen here and there in the parade a horse drawn vehicle , but this year all the hone drawn apparatus had vanish- ed and had been succeeded by shiny bright and new motor apparatus. There were thirteen bands and bugle corps in line and it was indeed a pleasing and inspiring sight to aee the long row of marching fire- men , their glittering apparatus , surrounded by the fluttering ban- ners of Old Glory, come marching on with bands playing and bugles and drums sounding. As one looked down the long line , more than a mile and a half long, he could not help but feel that Suffolk County _l u ii u_ — .J _* :*._ r.-.»..-. n « OIIVUIU n Cil UC |I1UUU VJ. llr£* lll ^...v.. and its residents can well feel se- cure in the safety of their homes, lives and property with such an adequate and modern fire fighting machine as this Suffolk County As- sociation shows itself to be on in- spection. Old Forty-niner in Line The only horse-drawn vehicle was the old hand pumper , of the Green- port department , now kept for parade purposes only and soon to go to the museum. Placards on its sides said it was built in 1849. One of the old - timers, with flowing white whiskers , rode with the chief of the Greenport department in the chief' s car and he was very proud of the white Chief' s helmet he was wearing. The Greenport depart- ment made an excellent appearance \\t*nArir\ > M » flio J j>n>:n».

The (Patchogue department made a very fine showing with many pieces of apparatus and their mem- bers weari ng red sweaters and white canvas trousers. The old red shirt was missing from this parade also and in its place was the natty blue coat and cap to match . Just what the name , \Forty Thieves \ , on the side of the salvage wagon of the Patchogue department indicated the Review representative was un- able to learn. The Kiverhead firemen had a fine turn-out also and with several pieces of apparatus attracted much attention. Riverhead Band Makes Hit The Riverhead Band , 35 strong, heading the Southold department , brought up the rear. On both sides the band created much applause. Its snappy Sousa marches made a hit and the 'Southold department , filled with the spirit of these sprlte- ly marches , swung along with a happy, jolly air. Three new records were estab- lished in the contests at the 43d annual tournament of the Suffolk County Volunteer Firemen ' s asso- ciation at Southold on Wednesday. The weather conditions were very favorable , the events were held on a very suitable course , and the arrangements made by the South- old Fire department, of which Nat E. Booth is chief , were very satis- factory.

Try a Review Want Ad FERRY BOAT SAVES PARTY FROM BOAT Three women and two men in a waterlogged outboard motorboa t were rescued from possible drown- ing in the middle of the bay at Pat- chogue , Sunday afternoon , by Capt. Hiram C. Swezey, of Grove avenue. Capt. Swezey was sailing his big ferry boat , the Hattie Burcham , home from Water Island when he saw them wildly waving their arms. He turned about and made'for them. When he arrived the-boat was filled with water and all five occupants were using their cupped hands in an attempt to bail out. The seas were rolling over the tiny craft and Capt. Swezey had to steer his boat so the swamped one was in its lee before he could transfer the drenched occupants to his boat. This done , he placed them in his cabin so they might get warmed up on the trip to Patchogue , the outboard being towed by the Burcham. When asked the names of the five he rescued from what every- body aboard the Burcham believed would have been certain death , as the outboard did not carry even a sponge with which tp bail her , Capt. Swezey said he heard one of the men call the other Hardy. Other- wise , he said , ho did not know their names. \What' s the difference?\ he asked. \They were saved. That' s enough said. \ Ellis A.

The Beach Club had been using the drain as an outlet for the water from its elaborate swimming pool. The damage is estimated at $1 , - 500. It is doubtful whether this will be the extent of the damage , as water will continue to threaten beach propert y until the change of the tide. It was onl y last March that the ocean swept away the E. R. Morse cottage at Water Mill , near Southampton , and caused Justin O'Brien , son of Judge Ken- neth O'Brien , to move two large houses 100 feet back of their former location.
