County Review 1 FREEPORT, N. Y., FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1918 VoL XXI, No. 29 Church Dedicates New Service Flag Forty Stars In the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration Sunday evening a new service flag with forty stars was dedi cated, with special exercises and mus ic. by the bend of tiie 11th Engineers (Oklahoma) from Capip Mills. The special serviees started when —^ e vested choir at the close of the | regular services led the way down the E aisle ami opened rdnks when the col or guard passed through and to the hack of the church where the service flag had been placed, furled, at the rafters. The color guard were Cadet Charles Mackey and Miss Aline Mac- key, representing the army, and Ca det Harry Cornelias and Miss Lettie Miller, representing the navy, with Uliaa Ruth Seckerson between them, followed by Captain W. Atwood French, U. S. V., retired, Montgom ery N. Milbank, chairman of the committee of arrangements, Rev. R. H. Scott, the pastor, and Col. Seck- erSon, late chairman of the memorial and executive committee of the Kings County G. A. R. The flag was lowered, the tapes un tied by the guard and the flag then raised into place. It is an exception ally pretty flag, made by Mrs. M. N. Miljaank, with the Cross in the cen tre, and the 40 stars grouped around it. Captain French formally presented the flag to Mr. Milbank, who in turn turned it over to the rector for ser vice at the church. Following the services the band and the entire congregation were invited to the basement of the church to en joy coffee, cake and sociability. The band entertained until after 11 o’clock when they were again taken back to Camp Mills by autos arranged for by Mr. Milbank and his committee. An interesting feature of the even ing in addition to the band music was the musical parts of the evening’s services in charge of David H, Rog ers, organist of the church. The church was crowded to its limits for the exercises. The stars on the service flag are placed in memory of the following in service: Harold B. Allen t Eldon B. Austin Harry Betzig Melbdurne A. H. Brahem Karl Brown ' Clyde Brown Douglas Brown Edward Collins Francis Copeland Ashfield Copeland Carol Copeland Arthur DeMuth Harry DeMuth George Duryea Gordon H. Ebsen Harold P. Goller John R. P.

McCloskey American Laundry Destroyed ABS ACQUJTED ON JURY TRIAL Well-Keown Freeport Business House Totally Destroyed in Early Morning Fire BUILDING WAS NOT INSURED The two-story frame building, cor ner Newton Blvd. and Henry St., with ! garage attached at the rear, was tot ally destroyed in a fire which for a short while threatened surrounding buildings and made hot work for the firemen 'early Thursday morning. , The cause of the fire is unknown. Residents in that section seeing the inside of the building in flames, tele phoned the alarm, but by the time the department arrived the building was doomed, and although the men did some hard work, it is a total loss. A considerable quantity of laundry in the building was destroyed, but a Ford delivery car was pulled out, but slight ly \damaged. The building is owned by Charles Eber, proprietor of the laundry, and •the loss on building will probably be about $3,500 with no insurance. Excise Men Testify to Patronizing the Place Regularly—Freeport Po lice Officer Testifies Place Was Not Noisy—Didn’t Think to Tell Dis trict Attorney’s office Full Details Successful Results of W. S. S. Drive Reports from the Local War Sav ings Campaign Committee show that our citizens made liberal response to the appeals of the canvassers. Pledges to the number of 1,687 were secured. The value of stamps owned and pledged amounted to $74,725; cash sales made during the drive amounted to $9,137.49; sales at the Post Office prior to the drive amount ed to $21,658.93. A great deal of the success of the drive was due to the very efficient ser vices rendered by the ladies’ commit tee under the direction of Mrs. R. H. Earon. Good results were also obtained through the canvass made by the let ter carriers on their respective routes. Since December 1 these faithful Fed eral employees have been incessantly importuning their patrons and friends to buy War Savings and Thrift Stampss with excellent results. A great deal of the publicity relative to the sale of the stamps can be attrib uted to their efforts. Appreciation of the valuable ser vices rendered by the committees formed by the Elka. Lodge and the Jr. O. of A. M. is gratefully acknowledged by the Campaign Committee. Mrs. R. H. Earon was chairman of the Campaign Committee and through her untiring efforts a great deal of enthusiasm was injected in the drive. The following ladies formed a part of Mrs. Earon’s committee and the success of the drive bespeaks the re sults of their patriotic services. Miss Minnie Aldridge, Miss Nellie Anderson, Miss Helen>Xnderson, Mrs. George Aring, Mrs. *6. M. Asch, Miss Ada Baker, Mrs. C. H. Brightson, Mrs. Charles Cook, Miss M- Copeland, Mrs. L. R.

Lush, Miss Hor- Mrs. Alice Schwab and Louis Schwab of Freeport were acquitted by a jury last Thursday, July 11, after a trial lasting four days in the County Court before Louis J. Smith, County Judge. The charge for which the defend ants were indicted was maintaining a disorderly house and the complaint had been made by the military au thorities, after an investigation by their police. The defendant Louis Schwab was arrested on a warrant issued by Clin ton M. Flint, Police Justice of Free port on the complaint of Alden W. Miller, after a fight between some drunken soldiers at Schwab’s restaur- The case was tried for the people by Assistant District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards and for the defense by Geo. M. Levy. The people had a difficult case to try from the start because of the fact that Sergeant Richmond, who had charge of the military police who had investigated the place, married the chief cabaret singer a few days after the arrest was made and it was evi dent throughout the trial that the military police were not whole-heart ed in their testimony. Aside from that, Excise Commis sioner Walter C. Raynor of Baldwin testified that he had visited the place about once a week and had danced with the cabaret girls, but had never seen anything wrong with the place. Charles Sigmond and Frank Brad ley testified that they had visited the place and had seen nothing that dis turbed anyone. Mrs. Edward Willetts- and her daughter testified that since the liq uor license had been taken away, they had not been disturbed in any way by the cabaret singers or by the pres ence of any drunken people about the place. The Willett family had been for years complaining about the dis turbance while liquor was being sold Another phase of the case that was interesting was that the military po lice admitted that fake riot calls had been sent out from Schwab’s by some one, thus leaving the impression up on the jury that Schwab was being blamed for pranks by the military police. Policeman Elmer Raynor and Chief James Hanse both testified that in their rounds on their police duties they had never heard any noises that disturbed them or that were in any way improper. In fact the local police testified that the reputation of the place had not been very good, but on cross examin ation it was shown that this bad rep utation had grown out of the period when the liquor license was in exist- Policeman Fedden testified that he had seen fights hi front of the place and had seen women of bad reputa tion going in and out of the place. The claim of the defense whs that they did not know the place had wo men of bad reputation and the fights were all due to the military police. For the people, Dr. Saul O. Curtice, Rev. J.

A Why, this Miller and another soldier were there, and the soldier claimed to have lost $50 in Schwab’s place.. I questioned him up there and he said he discovered it when he was in Schwab’s place out on the stoop, and afterwards he testi fied that he did not find out that he lost it until he got to Hempstead and he went to Hempstead with other sol diers. Q What did Miller say? A He said that he came after the money and intended to get it, and they re fused, and he said if they didn’t give it that he would get them some time sooner or later. Q When did he say that? A Be fore we left. Q Had you occasion during the month of April to go to Schwab’s place? A Yes. Q Both day time and night time? IA Yes. Q What have you observed in re- I gard to noises and sounds ? A What do you mean? Q Well, say first before twelve o’clock? A Why, I haven’t observed in the month of April anything out of the ordinary Q Do you Bakers Not Wilfully Violating the Law The result of the bakers’ hearings before A. D. Weekes, jr., Deputy Food Administrator for Nassau County, brought out the fact that besides many minor violations, many of the bakers were not using the prescribed quantity of substitutes and thene were several instances of bakers who had a supply of flour on hand in excess of their thirty day requirements. These violations were serious, but as there did not seem to be any intent to evade the law, most of the violations being due to ignorance, action was suspend ed. Those having an excess supply o f flour on hand agreed to hold same subject to Mr. Weeke’s order, and this flour will be used in supplying bak ers who have run short. Mr. Weekes stated that all future violations will he dealt with severely. This was as announced last week. Our local bakers are working under more severe handicaps, probably, than any other branch affected by the strin gencies of war, as a large percentage of our folk depend upon them, liter ally, for their daily bread, and the commission decided wisely in not tak ing any drastic action on their so- 1 /tn iwacnine vun vum p a u y »wu rw n - : liam with the 51st Infantry, Head- !
