...ATHENA HALL... PORT JEFFERSON Thursday, Oct. 26 THE Hill-Donaldson Stock Co. WILL PRESENT The Game Moving Pictures and other specialties between the acts. Roller Skating after show next Friday Night Moving Pictures Monday, Tuesday, W ednesday Friday and Saturday Nights A Visit to Detroit. Tlins. U. Fanning of 1 ' ort JelTerson , of (he firm of Farming ' s f . inm g c, local distributors for the Studebaker Corpor- ation , returned last week from Detroit , Michigan , where he has been the guest of general manager Walter K. Flanders of the Studebaker Corporation K. M. F. factories. \I was not the onl y guest of Mr. Flanders , \ says Mr. Fanning; \in fact 1 was one of the party of dealers from this section who we re personall y invited to go to Detroit and inspect the facil- ities the company have for turning out Flanders \lit)'* and K. M. F. \ oO\ cars. 1 confess that until my visit to De- troit J was just a little skeptica l of the ability of any company to build o u . OOO automobiles in twelve months. I had expressed that skepticism in a letter to Mr. Flanders personall y and his re- sponse was \ come and see. \ And he provided a special train uf such sump- tuous appointments as arc not sur- passed b y those on whicUrailway mag- nates travel on their inspection tours. There was every comfort that heart could desire and the stomach was not overlooked. We had a royalgood time at Detroit. We spent one day in the big plant Xo. 1 where IC. M. F. \ISO' cars are made; and then we spent an- other day in a still larger one , p lant Xo. .1 , where Flanders \ 20\ ca r is made from the pig iron to the complete , full y equipped car. After walking for hours at a time through lanes of machinery and seeing hundreds of million dollars ' worth of stock in progress of manufacture , I am thoroug hl y convinced that we will be more nearl y able to meet the demand for Flanders \ 20\ and K M. F. \;' .0\ cars next yea r than we have ever been before. Of course that is not say ing we will get enough. Mr. Fanning was enthusiastic in his description of Detroit , which is the world' s greatest automobile center as well as one of the mos t, beautiful cities in America. \We devoted several hours t o;drivingabout the several parks and boulevards of Detroit , to say noth- ing of the trip there and back on a luxurious special train. I felt more like a millionaire who had been on a p leasant vacation than one who had been on a business trip. \ Robin ' s Palatial Home Sold. Driftwood Manor , the beautiful country estate of Joseph C. Uobin of Northern Hank fame , has passed out of the ex-iinancier ' s hands and was Hold last week to Thos. U. d ynes of I ' luinfield , X. . 1. The property com- prises about 110 acres , with two-third s of a mile of Sound frontage and is located near Wading Stiver. The house , upon which money was lavished and which was the scene of many elab- orate entertainments and dances dur- ing Robin ' s successful career , is a three- story concrete building which cost £120 , 01)0 . The house is one of the most expensive along the north shore. It is Italian llenai s sanue in its style and contains 27 rooms and r» bathrooms. The transfer of the property hj is made b y the Wading Itiver Hcalty Com pany to Kobin ' s sister , Dr. Louise ISoblnovileh , last December , during Robin ' s absence from the city at the time of his trial. It was put. up at auction in April to satisfy a lien of fl , 0(H) held by (iilhert N. K oper , who built the house. Later on it was sold for £ . \ . , Hio to a man who , it is said , rep- resented the banker ' s sister . The sale of the properly lo Mr. dynes was made b y the Alice Realty Company am i Ucorge S. llagermuu. Mr. dynes whoh n s long sought a suitable country home on Long Island , is now having the mansion redecorated and altered. $10 , 000 Verdict A fi ainst R>R. Co.

Palatial Home Burned. The country residence of Robert Itucou , am bassador to France , near W' e s tb ury , was destroyed b y lire Thurs- day morning, togeth er willi most of Ihc contents , Involving a loss of nearly $ 2r>o , ngn , Some of the valuable furni- tu re was removed from Hie house. The origin of the lire Is a mystery. K had reached considerable headway before it was discovered. Thelma Koehlk , of Antwerp, Jeffer- son County, X. V., n servant in the emp loy of Mrs. Drownell , a summer resident who is living in the Miller bungalow on the beach , at Wading H ivir , was drowned while in bathing at about half-past three o ' clock on Monday afternoon. Mrs. JJrownell , her two children , a girl about eight and a boy about three yea rs old , and the servant were all in bathing. Mrs. J irownell left the beach and went up to the bungalow to dress , leaving the two children and the girl in the water. The bungalow is only about loo feel from the water. She had been there onl y a short time when her daughter called to her that Thelma was drown- i ng. Mrs. Rrowncll , who could not swim , ran along the beach to the road and then up to a cottage , q uarter mile, to wh ere Russell Hudson , Sy lv ester Ilal- l ock , and Wallace Dickerson , carpen- ters , were workingnnd summoned hel p. They all ran to the beach and Hudson plunged into the water and brought the girl ashore. Hy this time the girl was uncon- scious , and flouting with her head un- derwater. The three men anil Mrs. Brownell immediately started using every means possible to restore con- sciousness. Others arriving on the beach , one was sent to summon Dr. Benjamin from Hivcrhead , b y ' p hone. Mrs. Lewis , a summer resident was called and together with the others worked continuall y over the girl until the doctor arrived at about -l . HO o ' clock. Kvery possible expedient was tri ed for nearl y an hour longer , but without success. Morning Fire in Setauket.

H u uk ami Ladder Company a hurried call after try ing nut their new apparatus onl y a few nights previous. That the new equipment is all right was soon proven. The lire broke out in a vacant room on the (irsl (loor , bill the origin of it ap- pears to be a mystery. When discov- ered b y the famil y occupying a part of the house , and the near-by neighbors were notified , the (lames were rappil y gaining headway. The - ringing of the (ire-bell received a ready response b y about twenty mem- bers of the company. When they reached tne building Humes were com- ing through the roof , but these were soon extinguished b y a good How of water. That the company should re- ceive credit for saving about . *1* ( , (HH) o f property was given us an estimate to- day. The high wind would no donhl have caused it to sweep everything in its track. This would have included luuc, (iolden ' s three-story house and saloon.
