Before the VlllnRe Bonrd Before Bein K Submitted to Voter* for Final Action TDK first 01 the Inst thruc legal steps In the annexation of tlie West Patchogue district to llio in- Mii'pot'iitL-d village of Patchogue wus taken on Wednesday n fie. noon when tlie RrookJiiivei . town honril approve d unanimously the petition submitted hy the taxpayers for thai purpose , thus formally consenting to the sub- niission of the petition to tho VilliiRe Board of Patchogtie. Tho latter , if it gives its stump of approval to the matter , will then put it to tho vote of the people of the present incorporated village. . . Y The annexation proportion has been a king time in the making 1 and came to a head quite some time ago. Several bad fires there made apparent the need for better fire protection that might be obtained by being a part of the incorporated village , and forward looking citizens of the section also urged various other benefits to be ob- tained by joining the village. The petitions for annexation were first circulated several months; ago as the tedious task of securing signatures got under way. The Wes t Patchogue Taxpayers ' Association was the mov- ing force in the-project , and on Labor day Henry Hess , president of the or- ganization , announced that the peti- tions were completed. Them the work of verifying tho signatures started and each cf the names Avas checked by a notary or justice of the peace. At a final meeting three weeks ago it was voted to carry the matter to the town board this week. The district in question has a popu- lation of 1612 and the -132 signatures on the petition represen t the majority of the property holders according to the last assessment rolls , and the ma- jority of the; voters . The section in- cludes .a tract nearly two miles long and varying in width from 1500\ , ' to 4C0O feet. The Patchogue Itiver and Patchogue YLake constitute the east- ern boundary of the alsfr?(.t \ ' a...r Roe Boulevard to a little beyond the in- tersection of Waverl y Avenue consti- tutes the northern boundary. The western boundary extends from that point south to the Montauk: Highway thence along on Atlantic Avenue to the Long Island Railroad property, and then along the railroad to Tut- hill' s Creek and down to the Great South Bay, which forms the south boundary. ' By Ruby Douglas I TTIIS early snowstorm had its vari- ous appeals to Patchogue folk , as elsewhere. The old people shivered a bit , set- tled down more permanently in their fireside chairs. The youngsters whooped in glee, ransacked closets for mittens and arctics and hied them forth in search - of sleds. The house- wife looked. to her . larder, her coal- bin and her woodbox. The Village Father* began to clear away streets. The delivery men surveyed the heaps of snow and examined tire chains. But , it was the quaint little face of a schoolboy, almost a Freshman , that brought the lump to . our throat. He watched the snow fall and fall: He saw the sidewalks becoming uncom- fortably covered for pedestrians. His spirits i-ose. His small , white , under- nourished face , almost glowed as , at nightfall , he watched the snow still coming down. His mother busied herself with the frugal evening meal. She , too , was thin. But she had a sweet , brave car- riage and her face was beautiful. \Now , \ said the lad to himself , \I can earn some money to buy mother a Christmas gift.^. Golf was overhand the caddy fees had long been harfded in to the family funds. Newspapers did not bring much—-not . enough . for the gift his hiother needed. . We happened - to know almost the very soul of the lad of thirteen. We knew that he toad prayed for snow. We knew that he believed. \Ask and ye shall receive , -r because his mother nad told . him it was true, And , -when he saw.the snow actually coming down-in {plentiful amounts to furnish, him with work enough , shovel- ling walks , even though , he must stay °ut of school on Monday to do it; we saw the emotion ' that stirred him. His httle prayer had been answered. \Ask and ye shall receive. \ No one could take the truth ' from him now. ¦ - - ¦ , ' FREE ;.i 3. °?* eneaRement rings $16 up.

TROOPERS ROTCHFORD AND WILLIAMS TRANSFERRED Divorce Actions Before Court Jury Chosen in State Park Case Mrs. Margaret Strong Brings. Action for Divorce Against Husbni.il— Eagan Case Being Looked Into Be- fore Disposition JUSTICE Dunne , presiding over the December Supremo Court sessi on at Riverhead , 1ms already tried. a nuip- ber of the cases on the very long cal- endar this week , and the famous Grout River state park caw is not starting. Mrs. Margaret Strong of Patcl . - ogue , who is bringing an action for divorce against her husband , Leonard .1. Strong, , claiming that he is living with another woman. His lawyer , opposing Mrs. Strong ' s appli- cation for alimony, said to Justk-e Dunne: \Although Strong was unable to live with his wife because of her constant nagging, he never actually- left the house until she chased him out with a broom. Even then he did not actually abandon her , for he has since contributed whafl he could to her sup- port. \ , • ' Schoenfeld said that while Strong is living at another home the hus- band of the other woman also lives there , too. Strong is a golf profes- sional , now without contract , nnd in- capable of paying ' any large sum , he claimed ,, and is not making * the $75 per week that- his wife claimed\ he was. She wanted $35 a \ week ali- mony. Justice Dunne reserved de- cision. Harry Davidow , appearing for Mr* Jean Gladys Eagan , asked for counsel fees that he might go to Connecticut to investigate a clai m of Mrs, Egan that she had been divorced in that state before marrying Walter L. Eagan , who is now suing her for a divorce. Mr. Schoenfeld , appearing for Eagan , declared that no such di- vorce proceeding ever had been insti- tuted. Mrs. Eagan says one was car- ried through to a finish , and the pa- pers had been lost from the official office where filed. Justice Dunne was informed that the wife had been ar- rested for bit-tiny, though the case ( Continued on page 4 , this section) Sentence of Ross , Whitman Murderer , Commuted to Life WITH his execution set for last night , \ after six previous re- prieves , Ambrose Ross was granted a seventh tone late Tuesday and his death sentence , imposed for his part in the Bcllmore Bank robbery- in which Ernest L. Whitman of Patchogue . was killed , was commuted to life imprison- ment by Governor Smith. Hfe was originally convicted on a charge of first degree murder in consequence of the slaying of Whitman at the time of the bank hold-up at Bellmorc. Each time that he was slated to die he was saved by a reprieve , the last one com- ing only two hours before the time fixed for his execution . District Attorney Edwards of Nas- sau County recommended to Gover- nor Smith that clemency be extended Ross because of his aid to the state in prosecuting other cases. At the time of his first reprieve he confessed the inside story of the slaying of Whitman and was a star witness in the trial of Stanley Klvana , who was later acquitted despite Ross ' testi- mony of Klvan a ' s part in the robbery and murder. Ross was also expected to be used as a witness against James (Killer) Cunliffe , who was murdered a month ago , and who was said to be one of the Bcllmore robbery gang. BLUE POINT LAUNDRY TRUCK DESTROYED IN FARMINGVILLE The Blue Point Individual Laundry, which was gutted by fire a few weeks ago , suffered another loss by a sim- ilar cause late Tuesday night when one of its Reo trucks took fire in Farmingville. Louis Felice , flriver of the doomed vehicle , was. able to re- move the few laundries that were in the truck before they were damaged. The truck was practically a loss.

PAGE of Now York ** City, a well known figure in sev- eral of tlio nation ' s bigges t industries and a recognized . authority on cor- poration and credit matters , wns ap- pointed executi ve secretary of the Chamber of Commerce ul n mooting of the board of directors on Wednes- day night, He takes the place of Jloocoe Tracy of I' nteliogii e , whose /resignation was tlccvpted by the direc- tors at their meeting last week. Mr. Page comes to Patchogue with qn ' excellent record of achievements and is highly endorsed by lenders in a number of nationally known com- panies. That the Chamber of Com- merce was able to secure his services is due to the fact that he suffered a loss of health about a year ago and that he wishes to locate in a village of the size and type of Patchogue. He is a native of Richmond , Vu., and was educated at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. For a number of years he was connected with the sales or- ganization of the # Washburn-Crosby Company, manufacturers of Gol d Medal Flour, in their New York office, From there he went to the Packard Motor Car Company of New York to take the position of credit manager and of late he has been assisting his brother , Howard P. Page , in the ac- counting affairs for the Minority- Stockholders ' Committee of the Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad in opposing the Van Sweringen lease. He has also been identified with for- mer Governor Nathan Miller in the. accounting investigation for the Bond- holders ' Defense Committee of the Chicago , Milwaukee and St. Paul rail- road ^ Rev. C. Sheppard Now Baptist Pastor AN invitation extended by thc-con- * ~ * gregation of the • First Baptist Church of Patchogue to assume its pastorate has been accepted by' tlie Rev. Clauson Sheppard , who will im- mediately occupy th« parsonage ad- joining the church on North Ocean Avenue , with his wife , and will take up thc pastoral work at once. Mr. Sheppard will conduct the services this Sunday morning at 10:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. ni., and there will also be Bi- ble school session at noon. Mr. Sheppard has been sojourning for some time in Brooklyn , but pre- viously had a pastorate in the West , and for a long time did evangelistic work in connection with the colport- age service of the American Baptist Publication Society. Ho has conducted services here for thre e Sundays under a temporary ar- rangement , and won the warm friend- ship of the congregation. A special meeting was held last Thursday night at which the formal call was voted. TAXI: PHONE 3 8 0—( United Cle ar Stone) Albin. Roe fi Terry —Air , Drunken Drivers ' Cases Returned Justice Coleman Puts One on Probation Heliport Negro Had Spent Some Month* in Jnil—Morrii Case Listed —No Action on Pierce Yet \\THE first of a number of cases of *¦ persons charged with operating motor vehicles while intoxicated which we're in accordance with the old pro- cedure held by justices of the peace for thc Grand Jury and recently- thrown out of the County Court by Judge Furman when the Appellate Di- vision ruled that the new law obliging justices to try such cases came before Justice of the Peace Coleman here Tuesday. Samuel Wells . of Bellport , a negro , who was arrested' there last sumnier ch arged with trying to steer a car when he was badly in need of; some- body to steer him instead , was one of those whose offer of a plea of guilty in County Court was refused and the indictment afterward dismissed. Thereafte r Judge Furman remanded the case to the local court under a special order. Wells on Tuesday pleaded guilty before Justice Coleman and sentence was suspended and the man placed on probation for a year with County Pro- bation Officer Odell , and the justice also announced , that he would recom- mend )to -the state motdr vehicls com- missioner that Wells ' license be re- voked. He explained that the sus- pension of sentence was granted be- cause Wells had already spent five months in the county jail , while most of such defendants were out on bail. Another case of the same sort which is to come before Justice Coleman is that of James Morris of Patchogue , who was arrested on July 3 last. He is on bail and notice has been sent for the informant to appear in order that rearraignment may be effected. No order has come through in the case of George W. Pierce of Port Jef- ferson , ' also charged with driving while intoxicated in Patchogue , on the appeal of whose case Lawyer Carl J. Heyser won the decision that such cases are no longer triable under in- dictment. There is on the present Su- preme Court calendar a group of civil actions for damages against Pierce , arising out of the collision wh i ch brought his arrest , tho plaintiffs be- ing Mr. and Mrs. Milton H. Osman and Mr. antl Mrs. Kennety Lewis. Coroner Decides That Mrs . Barieau Died of Freezing AT the inquest conducted on Tues- day afternoon by Coroner Edwin S. Moore of Bay Shore , he found' that Mrs. Hannah Barteau , 78 years old , had frozen to death , with the prob- ability that heart antl kidney trouble had been contributory causes. She was found dead in her bed Tuesday forenoon by Captain of Police Valen- tine , who removed a window to gain entrance to her home in the rear of the Palace theatre building. On last Friday Mrs. Barteau visited at the W. W. Underwood home on River Avenue and at that time seem- ed to be suffering fz-om a slight cold. As far as is known that is the last time that she was seen. On Monday morning Mrs. Floyd Carman of 9 Church Street , at whose home Mrs. Barteau received her mail , went to call Mrs. Barteau but received no re- sponse. She gave little thought to the matter at the time for the aged wo- man was in the habit of visiting-with her sister , Mrs. Mary Benjamin of East Moriches and her daughter , Mrs . Annie Shepard of Woodhaven. Again Tuesday noon she went to Mrs. Barteau ' s home and failing to rouse anyone that time notified Capt. Valentine who found her dead in bed. The body was removed to Rul and' s funeral chapel and Mrs. Barteau ' s sis- ter and daughter notified. The funeral was held at Ruland' s Funeral chapel yesterday afternoon , the Rev. Louis H. Johnston of the Congregational church officiating, with burial in Cedar Grove Cem etery. LET HERB AU8T1I- srotect yonr loved one*. Heir Tori Life In* •or-no. Co. Phone P-ttfehsfcoi L—A-tr.

The first hear- ing on this , as well as some-other ' pro* posted eliminations lu Suffolk County, is to be held in Patchogue on Tiles-, day, December 21. * Some high argument is expected as the principal property owners In the vicinity of tho crossings seem united in opposition to the move and whiltS the town has no declared policy it seems likely that it also will oppose the elimination as unnecessary antl in- advisable at this time and unduly ex- pensive. . .. . ¦ One of the principal arguments put forward by citizens who wanted Rob- inson Boulevard fully concreted next ' year , a plan that is coming to rcnlizar tion not as a separate project but un- der tho $750 , 000 bond Issue voted since tho agitation began , was that tills would result in use of tho boule- vard for nearly all through traffi c and./ so relieve the Montauk Highway thtit the railroad crossing there would sink: into relative insignificance. 7. .. ' . '7: , ' . This , it was argued , would probably stave off the tremendously expen- sive elimination until some time in the rather distant future whcii pos- 7 sibly all the Patchogue crossings will be eliminated together by elevation of the railroad for about two miles. - ¦\THE situation at: East Patchogue is * complicated. Tho Montauk High- , way, one of the most , heavily trav- elled roads in thc tJnited States , runs in a slightly, southeasterly direction from East Lake to the environs of Bellport , and the Montauk JHvMMofe- the Jf onfr Isi arid Railroad , running somewhat northeast frpm this yillago Y . to -Bellport ' station , cros ' ses s t_i' e \ high- 7 way at an angle of about; 50 degree 8 \ About 600 feet west ofIthe . crossing ; Pine Neck Avenue , a butt-end :/st- *66t7; from the south , joins the , . JloiftduK7 Highway, and about the; sarnie ilistance : east of the crossing another v street' . ofv the same sort and direction;-Roes - -Aye?7' nue comes in , while immediately • to: the west , of the crossing TRobinsbri Boulevard branches off northeasterly and runs parallel with antl close ' . to . . . the railroad; . to Brookhaveii.Y . 77 It is believed that to gain the prop- 7 er pitch for either an undergrade 6r overgrade crossing both , ' Pine Neck and Roe Avenues will be reached if; Y not passed by Hie approach , while ., some kind of swing at present grade will have to be made for an entrance Into Robinson Boulevard , apparently the appropriation of a large portion of. the Swan River nursery property frontage being the only away to pro- vide for this.

They Show How to Save a Life Drowning Deaths Can Often Be Prevented Health Aisociation antl Lighting Com- pany Men Give Practical Demon* atration to Scout Audience at Meth- odiit Church LIOW everyone ciin be prepared to ** save life in caseis of drowning was vividly shown Tuesday evening at the Patchogue Methodist church by the Suffolk County Tuberculosis and Public Health Association in a dem- onstration of the Shafer method , of artificial respiration to 45 of the Boy Scouts of Troop No. 1 and No. 8 , and a number of others , adults and youths , making an audieri . 'e of about 75. ! Co-operating with the health asso- ciation in the series of demonstrations that are being given to the Boy Scouts and the high schools throughout the county is the Long Island Lighting Company, which through Erick Lar- son , Frank Aler and John Downs of the Safety Division , has volunteered Its services in the ' dembnstratid-.s. Mr. Aler , on Tuesday evening- , show- ed the boy-t the simple method used in saving the ihrttf at people who Were in -danger of death from drowning, electric shock or gad poisoning. The Shafer m ethod of artificial res- piration , simplest method ; known to medical science, consists merely . of placing the patient flat on his stom- ach with one arm extending straight ahead , the other forearm under the head and the head turned slightly so as to allow a freedom to the hose antl mouth; then slow-timed pressure does the rest. The operator straddles the body with his knees , and leaning forward , places hia hands on the small of the back to- ward the sides , with the little finger resting on the lowest rib. On press- ing down the lungs are compressed. As this is being done , the boys were taught to time the movement by say- ing, \Out goes the water , \ then re- leasing the pressure ^ the air is allow- ed to rush in , saying, \In comes the air , \ the whole rhythm of the m ove- ment being obtained- by the boys re- peating these sentences as they per- formed the simple movement. The Scouts were advised by Mr. Aler not to stop or give up until a physician could be procured , as sometimes life is restored a fter thi eft or four hours ' work. Following the demonstration the Boy Scouts , under Scoutmaster Wal- ter H. Denton and Ellsworth Robin- son , were given individual instruction by the lighting company men and Frank H. Stevenot of the Health Asso- ciation. This demonstration is one of many being given throughout the county in the hope that the death rate from drowning, gas asphyxiation and simi- lar accidents can be cut down. Ac- cording to Mr. Stevenot about 40 lives are lost thus each year in Suffolk County, and many of these could be saved by prompt treatment. A new motor sales agency is to be established in Patchogue by T. J. Dan- na , who will act as Suffolk County distributor for the Moon and Diana motor cars. The new organization will be known as the Danna Motor Sale* Company and for the present it will be located at the Shelbourne gar- age on East Main Street , pending the completion 1 of its new quarters on the property of Louis Schott in Blue Point. Mr. Danna has been in the in- surance business here , with offices with George E. Skidtnore , and he will continue his insurance business for the time being. He already has es- tablished thre e dealer agencies in Suf- folk County. A CHRISTMAS PRESENT For your child—a Columbia Bicycle or Veloei. pede , (new or -econdhan-). Place your order early.

DANNA ESTABLISHES AGENCY FOR MOON AND DIANA CARS Mainly owing to the heavy snow- storm it was not possible to* organize the December Grand Jury, until Tues- day afternoon. Some meni 'drawn were ill , and the big snow drif ik that stall- ed others trying to reach the court house kept so many of the jurymen away that a quorum was not obtained until after repeated efforts on the part of the officials. A special,panel . to ap- pear forthwith had to be drawn. - ¦ ./ Just a quorum of 16 men was finally- assembled at the Court House at noon and Justice James A. Dunne , presid- ing for December in the Supremo Court , appointed Harry B. Howll , a prominent Riverhead banker , as the foreman. The charge was very brief , following merely the statutory form.
