Kingslund Macy of Islip, to \ thc mem- bership of that committee. A bill to create thc now judicial dis- trict has been introduced by Senator George L. Thompson and Assembly- Hum John Boyle, Jr. In regard to the endorsement which the executive com- mittee of the party in Suffolk has given to this bill the chairman says: \There are nine judicial districts in the stnte at present and unless our second district can be divided the county of Kings , the biggest county in the state , will dictate the elevation of every justice in the district and our party will be hopelessly in the min- ority. \ A provision to g ive Suffolk county a senator of its own was incorporated last year in the reapportionment bill , which Governor Smith vetoed. Un- doubtedly another such reapportion- ment bill will he introduced this year. Other legislation which is receiv ing the attention of the executive com- niittee is the proposal to turn over to the conservation department the pre- scribing of rules and regulations af- fecting fish and game. It is believed that such regulations can best be made tbrough the local assemblymen and senator rather than through some de- partment head in Albany who is un- familiar with conditions in ' Suffolk and who might not be responsive to the wishes of the people. Accordingly .the party in Suffolk county , is appos- ing such legislation. \The fish and game regulations come very close to the people of our county because a great many of them obtain their live- lihood therefrom , \ the chairman states , \ and it would be a serious vio- lation of the home rule principle - if (Continued oh Page 2 , this Section) By Ruby Douglas O0METTMES ilj is through the most u casual of \ contacts that you find the solution of a problem. » We had lingered ^ for a moment , be- fore going upstairs , in the Patchogue Advance Paper Shoppe.

Jaycox Mon- day nnd argument is on today at Min- eolu before Justice Druhon on the mo- tion to make the injunction permanent. Alleged illegalities In tho conduct of the election , ! which wns held at Yap- hank , aro the basis of the proceeding, principally the claim thut mfmerous persons entitled to vote as property owners nnd taxpayers were denied that right or secured it only under special court orders. The stay was secured by former county judge John R. Vunk , represent- ing Augustus Floyd of Mastic , Daniel R. Davis of Coram and Captain Henry J. Rogers of Setauket , ns petitioners , copies of the summons and complaint being served on ' Supervisor Robert Macintosh , Town Clerk Jones and the justice s who form the remainder of the town board . Topping the list of cases cited wherein the town board is alleged to have erred are those of Oscar F. Kar- lein of Patchogue , ' former clerk of the board of assessors , and Mrs. Minnie S. Brown of Wading River , who claim- ed the right to vote as owners un- named on the tax rolls Of 1925 , which the board had on hand at the election as guide to voters ' qualifications. Both Mrs. Brown and Mr. Karlein later voted under orders secured from County Judge Furman through affi- davits stating their ownership. Near- ly 50 other cases of denial of vote are cited in tfce complaint , and Lawyer Harry A. Davidow attached an affi- davit listing about a dozen others . . . Immediately after the election there was a stir , which would not down , and the injunction proceeding is no sur- prise to those . who are informed on town affairs . The appearance of Dan- iel R. Davis and Captain Rogers as principals together . with the fact of Judge Vunk being retained as attor- ney, with support from Mr. Davidow , gives something of a political color to the move , as they are all active Demo- crats and the bond issue had endorse- ment of the Republican town admin- istration. The Junior Christian Endeavor So- ciety of the Congregational Church , comprising a membership of 102 , held its annual election of officers and com- mittee chairmen Friday evening. This junior organiaztion is just entering its second year after a very successful first year. The officers elected were: Gene- vieve Roberts , president; Samuel Brown , vice president; Roberta New- ins , secretary; Ralph Gill , treasurer , and George Corston , Jr. , pianist. The chairmen of the various committees elected were: Stanley Randall , look- out; Frances MacRobbie , prayer meet- ing; Grace Budd , social; Betty Hal- lock , sunshine; Arthur Garypie , mu- sic ' ; George Corston , Jr., press; \Ruth Avery, missionary; assistant chair- man of missionary committee , Helen Macauley; Theodore Austin and Nor- man Randall , ushers. JUNIOR C. E7 ELECT OFFICERS AND CHAI RMEN A hearing was held on Monday af- ternoon before Referee in Bankruptcy C. Wells Brown ' at Riverhead relative to the Joseph- Miller ' failure , and Harry A.

The hearing was adjourned for a \ month. . WILL SEEK TO RECOVER $15 , 000 FROM MILLER GOODS That a little Ford coupe can claim just as much attention as a big build- ing when it catches fire was clearly demonstrated yesterday afternoon when the entire fire department and a few hundred people flocked towards the railroad station where one of the above mentioned vehicles belonging to Edward Potter of North Ocean Ave- nue was ablaze. The interior of the car was gutted and part of the top burned off by the time the apparatus arrived to apply chemicals. Then when 1 it was all out and what appeared to be only a sad Wreck remained it was driven off under 'its own power. - .

FORD UNDAUNTED BY FIRE Supervisors Balk at Suggestions of Assessors Consider New Plan for Dog Licensing Refuse Consent for Cemetery—Favor Separate Judicial District for Long Island * 1 'HE supervisors aro cold to tho * elaborate suggestions of the as- sessors for legislation to furnish the latter with information to aid them In making their ratings , and it looks os if the long conference of the as- sessors of the several towns , held re- cently In Patchogue , will come to naught unless those officials do some fast and effective persuasive work. While they can press their requests directly on the members of the Legis- lature tho latter are commonly slow about making any move in the way of outstanding local legislation unless there is either a wide popular demand or a lineup of town nnd county offi- cial support. At the supervisors ' meeting in Riverhead this . week there was much talk of the assessors ' plan without any formal expression either giving or denying support , and the resolution was referred to the Law Committee in an atmosphere rather damp. Some of the supervisors were outspoken in criticising the workability of the as- sessors ' plan. The general substance of the criti- cism was that even if there were a law compelling property owners to give notice of improvements the as- sessors would have to inspect the property anyhow to make a legal as- sessment , and they are supposed now to inspect all property annually. It was furthermore hinted that such a system would merely increase the stress on assessment of new buildings , already rather over emphasized as compared with the attention given to rating of land held at high prices though vacant or bearing only old buildings. It was suggested that tax maps of all the towns would go a long y isty to- ward putting the work of the asses- sors in listing property, on a proper basis. \ 7'- ¦ \ - ' ¦ ' - -• ' , i.r \ • The board voted unanimously to re- ject the petition for establishment of Shadow Grove cemetery at Melville , to which many citizens objected. A resolution was adopted favoring the separate Judicial District for Queens , Nassau and Suffolk counties , for creation of which a bill has been introduced in the Legislature. The supervisors seemed favorable to a recommendation of Supervisor Smith of Smithtown that the present census by town assessors as the basis of enforcement of dog licensing ought to be eliminated in favor of a county enumeration system , and - this was re- ferred to the Law Committee. ' M Wotneft Friends Long Separated Laid Side B y Side In Hospital HOW two women , . who at different times lived in the same house in Patchogue and then became separated for several years found themselves re- united in a New York hospital , came to light here yesterday when a letter was received telling of the unusual situation and of the surprise experi- enced by both of the women at find- ing themselves together when they supposed that half a continent lay between them. For some years Mr , and Mrs. James Young occupied a home on Maple Avenue , he being employed as a draftsman in the Patchogue-Plymouth Mills. The Youngs moved to Zjon City, III., and Mrs. Alice Russell mov- ed into the house , so that the , two wo- men last saw each other as tenant- that-was and tenant-to-be , although they had known each other for some time. Neither heard any word from the other , although Mrs. Russell had remained here in Patchogue until some weeks ago , when she entered the Post Graduate Hospital. A few days ago a new patient was brought into the hospital and placed in the bed beside Mrs. Russell. The Pat- chogue woman on seeing the other started to nod at her by way of mak- ing acquaintance and was then sud- denly overwhelmed with surprise to recognize that it was Mrs. Young who had moved out of thc housc she moved into some years back. Kutest Kiddies » Second Kontest Gets \Hot Star t Prompt Demand for Voting Coupons Lure of Big Gold Prizes and Hope of Proving Popularity Combine as Co&xers ' \\THE score of merchants who are A conducting the new Kutest Kid- dies Kontest report it surprisingly live- ly demand for coupons right at the start of the event , which indicates that there are some children already in line for whom scouts in the person of relatives and friends are seeking votes. No names are available yet , and of course there is plenty of op- portunity to enter any time within the early period of the kontest , which will run until March 12 , so there will doubtless be a long list of entrants. j it has been understood , though not publicly exp lained in the first an- nouncements of the promoters , that thisTcontest is to determine the most popular kiddies up to seven years of age who did not carry off prizes in the last kontest , completed in Decem- ber. Presumably none of those gold collectors would go into another race so soon anyhow , but this point is set down to avoid any possible misun- derstanding. . Winners , then , in the last kontest , are ineligible in this one , but any of the previous kontestants are welcome to try again this time as well as en- tire newcomers. The field has been enlarged and the prize money increased for this race , in which the winners- are to be detor- mind by count of ballots issued in the form of coupons with ordinary pur- chases at. the promoting establish- ments.

Faber , an intimate friend , and the Jai- ler ' s nan , Leonard VV. Faber of Ja- maica, who were bringing him home owing to a sudden illness he had suf- fered the night before while riding on a Long Island Railroad train between Brooklyn nnd Jamaica homeward bound after a meeting of the Brooklyn club. . He had asked assistance at Jamaica and was placed on a cot there and WALTER H. JAYCOX given first aid by an ambulance sur- geon and in answer to his request Jus- tice Faber went to the station and took him to the Faber residence. There Justice Jaycox ' was treated by a family physician and appeared to re- cover. He said he thou ght he had in- digestion. After spending the \ night- he asked to be brought home , and tele- phoned his wife about 10 o ' clock that he was coming. He appeared well in the car , discussing the route and other matters , but when on Jerusalem Ave- nue at Hempstead , at about 11 o ' clock , he suddenly said \Stop \ and lurched in his sept. .He died before aid could be secured. The funeral will he held Sunday af- ternoon at 2 o ' clock with service at the Congregational church , the Rev. Louis H. Johnston officiating, accompanied by Masonic rites , conducted by Judge Townsend Scudder , past grand master of Masons of the State of New York. Burial will be made in Cedar Grove cemetery. JUSTICE Jaycox , who was 63 years old ,, had been in public life since young manhood and was very widely known and highly esteemed. Though he was a vigorous Republican and won his early positions by active cam- paigning:, his outstanding character soon gave him a place independent of politics and he earned a reputation as an exceptionally capable and erudite judge. He was also very popul ar in a personal way, being marked by a democratic manner. Born at Wassaic , Dutchess county, September 3 , 1863 , the son of Lorin R. and Hannah Darling Jaycox , he spent his youth there , at Far Rocka- way, Rockville Centre and Patchogue , being a resident of this village about 50 years . His father was a native of Vermont and his mother of Dutchess county. He was the youngest of five chil- dren , having two brothers and two sisters , only one , surviving, Mrs. Adella Losee of 116 East Main Street , widow of H. Clay Losee , who was a prominent figure in Patchogue , former proprietor of the Central hotel , justice of the peace and village trustee. At the death of his father the boy- Walter went to reside with his brother-in-law , Mr. Losee , at Far Rockaway, and later spent three years with him at Rockville Centre. For a time hi- was with Mr. Losee in the hotel business here and afterward con- ducted a small restaurant himself. There his studious tastes enlisted the interest of the late Wilmot M. Smith, then district attorney, late r county judge and Supreme Court justice , and he sold out the business and took up the study of law iir Judge Smith' s office. After two years he was appointed deputy county clerk , a position he held for five years , continuing his law studies and being admitted to the bar in September , 1889. In 1893 he was nominated for district attorney by the Republicans and elected by a large majority.

Horses Simply Some Good Legionnaires Crash Into Honorary Organization Recalling War Times '\THE first railroad wreck to occur •* here in which the Long Island Railroad was not involved , one that assumed major proportions without anyone being mortally injured , was that of the Suffolk County Voiture of La Societo des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaiuc at the - American Legion Home Friday night when the \ wreck- ing crew \ from the Nassau County Voiture came here and took nine can- didates through the various phases of ceremony leading to membership in this honorary organization of the Am- erican Legion. By way of explanation the \ wreck- ing crew \ of this organization is the committee . which has charge of the initiation , and the organization itself is one whose name originated from the placard s on the box cars used on the French- railways during the war indicating that the cars .contained room for eight horses or 40 men , a statement open to dispute , if comfort were considered. v Friday night' s wreck was one of the most important events in the year ' s activities of the society and nine Le- gion men who have distinguished themselves in some form or another of Legion work were completely wrecked before taken into membership. In addition to the wrecking crew from Nassau County there were a number of other persons , high in the order , present to take part. Pelham St. George Bissell of New York , sous chef de chemin de for , or in other words , national vice commander , was there , as were also Arthur McCann of Ithaca , grand chef tie garc of the order and John Lithbridge , chef de gare of Nassau County. The candidates wrecked were Dr. R. W. Sammis , Wilfred A. Spence , George E. Kriche , David D. Plumley, Jr. , and Robert C. Strickland of Huntington ; Clause Yetter of River- head , Otis A. Edward , Jr., of Sag Harbor , \ Raymond L. Davis and John E. Murphy of Port Jefferson. Fol- lowing the wreck the debris was re- moved and the party adjourned to thc Elks ' Club for a midnight repast. Two Merchant s Foil Man Giving Worthless Checks He Hesitated Too Long at Haase ' s Place Told of Local Residence on Street Where There Was None Such—- Mrs. Sleasinger Also Cautiou s 1V7EST PATCHOGUE wna thc scena *» of activities of u supposed bail check passer Wednesday night as It Is thought that the same man who curly in the evening ' tried to cash a cheek at tho store of Hermann Slen- singer on West Main Street later went to thc store of Paul Hnase ami tried to work the gome , for the check offered ut thc Haase store was of a similar amount to that used at Sles- singor ' s. Tlie man entered Haase ' s at 9 o ' clock and showed Mrs. Haase a gold badge , similar to that of the New York police and bearing number 4852 , tell- ing her lie was a member of- the city force . He then purchased about two dollars worth of goods and offered u cheek for $47.50 in payment. Mr. Haase entered at this point and madp. inquiry, of the purchaser. Tho check was drawn on the Bank of the Manhattan Company to the or- der of George Spencer and signed by W. H. Harryman of Ozone Park. The man said he was Spencer and that he had just sold some real estate for Harryman and received the check in ' payment for his services.. Meantime he had started conversation with an- other customer and Haase thought he was probably all right and gave him tlie amount of the check less the pur- chase. Then \Spencer \ hesitated for a mo- ment and learned that he who hesi- • tates is lost. Haase asked the other ' customer if he knew Spencer and said he did not. Spencer then said he lived on Summit Avenue. \I know every- one on that avenue , \ said Haase , and ' when \Spencer \ told him the house he lived in Haase was certain that he had been buncoed so he ordered the man to return the money. ' He com- plied willingly and said his wife would . come , in with . him to identify him as she traSe ' d* ' there *' regularly. \He then showed Mr. Haase the badge , said , he was a revenue officer and left , dis- appearing toward the west in a car. ^ At Slessinger ' s store a man who said he was Harry Hermann of Rose Avenue made a small purchase and of- fered in payment a check for §48. Mrs. Slessinger , who was in charge of the store at the time gave him tli e , goods but was a bit suspicious of the man and refused to cash his check , telling him to return later and pay for the purchases. She then reported the - incident to the police who say there Is no such person that they know. The descriptions indicate that the ' checks dealer who visited both stores was the same man. Much minor damage to trees ' and business and residential property about the village was caused by a vio- lent wind storm that suddenly blew up at 2:30 o ' clock this morning and raged with terrific force several hours. The plate glass windows and doors of several stores in the business section were blown out and for a time the streets were a swirling mass of every- thing, from discarded Christmas trees to ordinary rubbish. Some people be- came alarmed and got up at an early hour owing to their houses trembling.

Patchogue Cats Over a Score of Them Find Environ- ment Unhealthy, And Wholesale Death of Felines Is Reported WHILE there is more or less con- jecture as to whether Wednes- day was a good day for the old ground hog or not the residents of one section of Patchogue are very certain that this is a bad month for cats and just at present the most popular man in that locality would be a feline mortician. ¦ Waverly Avenue in the vicinity t>f First Avenue is^ great haven for tabby cats and apparently everyone has a cat—or rather everyone did have one—and there were also plenty of others that didn 't belong to anyon e but were the general property of the neighborhood, Some say that the feline outcasts were a nocturnal nui- sance with their constant yowling and cavorting, -while others maintain that all these cats neVer caused any troubl e or disturbance . in any way. Be that as it may some death deal- ing individual decided that the neigh- borhood was getting altogether too catty and that the neighborhood store was a fat* greater asset than thc neighborhood cat. And so one by one the cats began to lose their grasp on their nine lives eaeh up that way and then the number of demises increased until one man found three cats- who had curled up and died in his front yard. But it didn 't stop here nnd an esti- mate of the deaths yesterday was placed at close to 25. The unfortunate part is that the destruction has been , wholesale and in many cases much be- loved house cats have been included in the toll. ' ^ It is believed that some sort-of poison has been spread about the sec- tion to have so widespread an effect. CONGRESS PLAYING CARDS 85 cents. Patchouue Advance Paper Shoppe. -Adv.
