Fine Steady Real Estate Activity Hereabouts in 1926 174 Transfers Recorded From Patchogue and 2 , 255 Fr om Thi s \ Part of Suffolk County N Deadly Slump After \Boom. \ —More Snjes of Realty in Second Half ol Year Tlmn In First—Study o>f Records , Shows Maintenance of Steady Demand for Property for Actual Use A CAREFUI , study of Hie real es- tate activity in the county, with particular reference to thut section within a few miles of Patchogue , In- dicate that during the year 11)20 there was a steady mid very healthy run of transactions , and that then; have beeii no baneful after effects of the boom period. Tho actual figures back up lhe statements of real estate operators mid put a quietus to the more or less common notion that there was a heavy plump after the first few months of the year. The fact is that in Patchogue the number of real estate transfers made during the hitter half of 1920 was considerably greater than during the first half of the year , though the last vestiges of the \boom \ had died out by midsummer. And in tho whole sec- tion usually considered as the particu- lar field of the Advance , within which it reports all realty ' transactions regu- larly, thc number of transfers during the second half of tho year was al- most exactly the same , as duting tlie first half. Even during the last quarter of the year , in which realty movements are always light owing to winter weather nr.d holiday conditions , the average throughout this district ran almos t as high , in number of deeds recorded , as during the earlier months. r\URING thc period of ext ra stimu- ¦-' lation which waxed hot in the second half of 1925 and the early months of 1926 , when many very large deals were made throughout Long Island , followed by numerous auction sales , conditions in Suffolk county took on for a-time a Florida color. But while ¦ those who owned veil situated land or were wise enough to acquire some early in . the move- jnent made big money on rapid turn- Wer^sm4k.ma ' nipultt^0ai_ <)£ ,.subdivi3* 18ns7there was a wise alid * o>termined application of the brakes by local , in- terests which prevented any really wild scrambl e with consequent sad af- termath. Outsiders were consistently warned against paying foolish prices for poor land or tracts so situated that in the natural course of events they woul d l'ot come into real development ' for some years. And investors in tven village property were reminded that the eventual return from actual use of property is what counts despite ex- cited boom bids. The net result of the so-called boom , therefore , was . to give Long Island a tremendous amount of advertising and to accelerate greatly its natural development , particularly as a. place of part-time or permanent residence of those who have business in Greater New York. That d evelopment was coming along finely before the boom- «ig days , and cold facts.and figures *ow that it is continuing. THE outstanding difference between the Florida boom , and the Long Island development is that the former appeals only to those who have re- tired or are able to leave their occu- (Continued on page 5 , this section) AS I SEE IT By Ruby Douglas ^ITH the sudden death of Judge ' W alter H, Jaycox , humanity, in the community that was his , sends up We persistent and poignant cry, \I believe , help Thou my unbelief. \ It is an apology for the reactions and re- bellion of the first stuna-ed moments.

Motor Freight Shows Increase Local Companies Doing a Big Business This Form of Quick Transportation Becoming Increasingly Popular— Railroad Also Shows Freight Growth A GENERAL increase in freight * \ * transportation both by the Long Island railroad and the motor truck- ing companies has been noted during tho past year and jn one case the amount of matter handled during Jan- uary was just double that taken care of during the same month last year, With two of the principal trucking companies , the South Shore Motor Transportation Company and the Reich Brothers Long . Island Motor Freight , located in Patchogue , a fair idea can be gained of the immense proportions to which this business has grown during the past few years. Reich Brothers report that the post year was a record breaking one anil that the start of 1927 gives promise of far exceeding the record set in 1926. Their , equipment was of ne- cessity increased during the past year to meet the growing demands of the motor transportation field and thc or. ders booked for March this year indi- cate that next month will also he a record breaker. The South Shore Motor Transpor- tation Company, in September opened one of the finest terminals and head- quarters oa Long Island to keep pace wtih the increase in their business which had grown by leaps and bounds during the past year. This company handles the motor freight for a num- ber of big firms that are constantly expanding their business on Long Is- j'(Continued on page ,,. 5, this section) Twelye Exhibits Already Planned ' For Exposition Chamber of Commerce Gets Ready for Event Industrial , Mechanical and Agricul- tural Displays Assured—Numerom Others Will Be Lined Up Nest Week DROMISE of an imposing array of. * exhibits of an industrial , me- chanical and,agricultural nature have been secured for the exposition to . . s be held later this month , sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce through a committee eonsisting of Secretary A. W. Page , James R. Skinner and John J. Van Pelt. The list to date includes 12 exhibitors and others are being al- loted space in fast order so that everything points to an unqualified success in this unusual venture that will show tho world what Patchogue and this section are doing in the manufacturing and sales lines. Swezey & Newins , Inc., have ar- ranged with the manufacturer of one of the products they sell to send a special display out here and Howard Conklin has arranged for three dif- ferent exhibits that will be of inter- est to every member of the family, The J. R. S. Specialty Company will have an exhibition of their products , made in Patchogue , and the Patchogue Gas Company will have an interesting display. The Ronkonkoma Wall Paper Com- pany will bring machinery to Patch- ogue for that week and people will be able to see just how the material is made. Carl . F. Pauscwang of Say- ville will have an exhibit that will be of. much interest to m ' otdr boat fans as he will:, show a nuinber ^of the latest models iri marine motors ' ;: ' 7- Leslie H. .MacRobbie will add a touch of real beauty to the exposition with a large display of the nursery products and the Fatchogue-Plymcuth Mills will show people what is being done in one of the leading lace mills of the country. E. Bailey & Sons will also join in the exposition with a dis- play of their lumber products and Justus Roe and Sons is another impor- tant Patchogue industrial concern that will lend support to the proposition. Removed from these exhibits and yet of • much human interest will be the displays of the Suffolk County Medical Society and the Suffolk Coun- ty Tuberculosis and Health Associa- tion , which are the agencies of much beneficial service.

There was one day when making a 40-mile drive to the eastward , a 65- mile gale , and a sloppy snow storm , which turned to ico on striking the cement highways and auto windshields made even a most loyal Long Islander wonder if the ' soft critters , who beat it south , were not in tho \ wise guy class \ after all , but on arriving home and finding a telegra m from a friend way down at the lower edge of the sunny south , saying that the ther- mometer \ showed 28 degrees and said friend was colder than he was in his Long Island home , where the tem- perature registered on the same day 42 degrees , he was again convinced that Long Island was Utopian . The Blessed Isle had three days with the temperature above 50 de- grees; seven days with 44 degrees or higher; six days hugged 40 degrees mighty closely, Strangely enough , there were four days in the month when the mercury in the maximum thermometer struck juSt 31 degrees , and at that temperature even still water hardly realized it ought to freeze; so during the days in January we only had , on the 10th , l lth and 16th , air with real winter ' s chill , the temperature being 28 , 25 and 24 de- grees respectively, but on the 26th , January did give us a freak day, when the temperature did not get above 12 degrees , although the sun was shining brightly. .

Jaycox were laid to rest in Cedar Grove cemetery here Sunday afternoon at the conclusion of funeral rites which brought to- gether tho largest company of distin- guished men that has ever been pres- ent in the village. The main services were held in the Congregational church , the pastor , the Rev. Louis H. Johnston , officiating, after which the Elks lodge officers led by Exalted Ruler Edgar A. Sharp conducted , their rites and Grand Mas- ter Townsend Scudder , head of the Masons o ' f tho state , conducted the Masonic rites. There wcre large del- egations of both orders and of the Round Table club present. Wallace Ruland sang \Abide With Me \ at the opening of the service and the pastor read a scripture lesson and led in prayer, Later Miss Marion Flanders , director of music in the lo- cal schools , sang \Good Night , \ and Mr, Ruland sang again at the con- clusion of the ceremonies. Mr. Johnston spoke of Justice Jay- cox as a public malf _ and as a belove d neighbor , referring to him as one not- able for his steady balance of mind and his ability to see both sides of a question , one who since his youth had successfully and continuously sought to improve himself and had in turn contributed of his knowledge and character to the benefit of the com- munity. And he sounded the Christ- ian doctrine of good cheer , that noth- ing is>lost . . under;God' s eternal guid- ance , and that if we believe in Him we do not die. \\\THE large church auditorium was ¦*• crowded and the motor convey- ances were so numerous that parked cars extended for a block on both sides of the street and far up Maple Ave- nue as well as in adjacent parking spaces.

Former County Judge John R, Vunk , representing the petitioners , and Lawyer Ralph- J.

The temporary injunction was sign- ed by Justice Jaycox a few days before his sudden death , being based , as such orders ' ' generally are , on affidavits of this petitioners , ' without any . defense. It was set forth that the conduct of the special election at Yaphank last fall was illegal in excluding property owners entitled to vote. The petition- ers are Augustus Floyd of Mastic , Daniel R. Davis of Coram and Capt. Henry J. R pgers of Setauket. The outcome of the heaving today will be to continue the injunction un- til formal trial can be had , or to ' dis- miss it.

Three Coast Guardsmen Die As Scooter Is Lost in Bay Were Returning to Blue Point Station on Beach After Doing Errands in Patchogue Body of One Found on Ice But, Other Men As Well As Boat Still Missing—- All Young Southerners , Two Recruits—Companions ' Money Lout With Them OEARCJI of tho Great South Bay K - ' and Its mainland and bench shores over a period of several days by members of the Coast Guard has failed to disclose tho bodies of two of the three guardsmen who lost their lives by exposure or drowning Thurs- day evening while returning from Pat- chogue to the Blue Point Coast Guard station in a sallless scooter. One was found on a small floo of ice near the beach a mile east of that station about 0:30 Friday morning, but it is be- lieved the others sank beneath the ico , which hns since been largely cleared away hy mild weather. The victims of treacherous weath er conditions on the bay were Maurico R. Davis , Elwin Davis and Charles C. Simpson , all youth s of from 20 to 23 years , residents of Wanchese , N. C , and a dramatic fact about the occur- rence is that Maurice Davis , slightly the eldest , who had served in tho guard for two years , only a few weeks ago visited his home town on furlough and it was due to invitation that tho others , old friends , enlisted. Though recruits they were , like him , considered good boatmen. It ia believed they lost their way in the darkness and sunk the scooter going suddenly off . the main ice floe into a rift of open water about a mile from the beach , or that the boat was some- how stove in and sank as they vrere rowing over the-open space. Maurice and Elwin Davis had come to Patchogue Thursday morning to do some errands and enjoy a. few hours ' off duty and here they met Simpson , who had been off since the day before. They poled the boat on the ice and rowed it in ' water. They set off for the beach about 3 o ' clock and a little after 5 were seen by other guards more than half way across the fivo-mile stretch , apparently making slow . but ocdinary progress. ;. .. ' . ' .,. ... Darkness was closing in on them then. When they did not report at the station by 7 o ' clock Captain William. Leach ordered all available men : out for a search , which was continued amid very trying conditions all night without avail. In the morning the body of Maurice Davis was found ly- ing face downward on the ice cake , and it is supposed he died of exhaus- tion and exposure after getting out of the water. His remains were taken by tractor to Point o ' Woods and thence by motorboat to a Bay Shore morgue for Coroner Edwin S. Moore ' s inquest. Not till then did news of the trag- edy get circulated on the mainland , and baymea aided the Coast Guard of several stations in seeking the other bodies and the scooter. Among those who helped in this work were Ellis Davis , a brother of Maurice , and Jas- per Simpson , a brother of Charles , both members of the Fire Island Coast Guard station crew. Maurice Davis leaves a wife and two children , and his family spent some time near the station last sum- mer but are now in Wanchese.

The meeting was in ev- ery way even more of a success than had been contemplated , for the last minute rush for reservations taxed the capacity of the dining room ancl lobby to the limit. ' There were decorations of the na- tional colors with two large shields supporting a. collection of small flags placed behind the speakers ' table. Music for the event was furnished by Bill Jackson and his orchestra. By late afternoon the vanguard of the Legion began to arrive , and others were still arriving well after 9 o ' clock from more remote sections of the county; The dinner got under way after prayer by the Rev.
