Y., FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1920 Vol. XXIII, No. 31 GAS FOR FREEPORT TO BE $1.40--NO EXTRA METER CHARGE Not Required to Pay More Until P.S.C. Changes Rate LONG BEACH POPULAR Police Chief Lifts Ban On One Piece Suita—-Girls To Go Stockingleas In a spirit of reckless abandon and desire for atmosphere the proper au thorities at Long Beach have let it be known that from new on a smile and a one piece bathing suit will be about all they'll require of young women and girls who go bathing there. Long Beach thinks it about time some one gave the girls their way, and at pre cisely noon no other than Pat Tracy, Chief of Police, called off what cen sorship there had been and notified all concerned. Speaking later and informally, Chief Tracy said his men would continue guarding the beach against objection able persons and bathing dresses. He added then that his men would have instructions not to bar the one piece suits so long as they were not inde- “In seven words,” said the Chief, ‘the sky’s the limit within proper bounds.” It was not generally believed that the officials will have great difficulty in obtaining enough cops to see that conditions along the beach continue as they should. ------------- 4 ------------- VOTING MACHINES New Appliances Will Replace Present Ones By November Hempstead town, the only town on Long Island to use voting machines, will exchange its present twenty ma chines for the latest model voting ma chines, for use at the general elec tion in November. It is also possible the town will purchase several more of The mammoth minstrels of the Freeport Lodge of Elks, to be held on two different nights at the American Theatre, Freeport, is assuming gigan- lTate\‘bivisi<m'on the j the machines to be installed for the i tic proportions and will be the most At the meeting of the Village Board held Wednesday evening, the predom inant question discussed was the re- X'ct-nt raise in gas rates. S. J. Dun- J^Veavy of 92 Elliot place, appeared be fore the Board and stated that he had been at the public hearing before Coip- missioner Barheit, held Wednesday morning in New York. He requested the Board to have gome one circulate petitions among the people in order that signed petitions may be placed before the Public Ser vice Commission at its next hearing, and he offered to take an active share in seeing that names were affixed to said petitions. As a result of the ap pearance of Mr. Dunleavy, petitions ■will be drawn up and placed in prom inent places where people may sign them as a protest against the raise in rates and the meter charge of one dol lar. Petitions will be found at the Vil lage office, the office of Clarence A. Edwards and prominent stores along Main street. In the meantime the people of Free port are still protected by the old in junction and are not required to pay more than $1.40 for gas until such a time as the Public Service Commission j ^Changes the rate. This decision was ■landed down by the Apellate Divis ion on Wednesday and the Gas Com pany’s case was argued by Hon. Luke D. Stapleton, who was Associate Jus-, tice of the Apellate Division on the | —~ - • same bench. In spite of having him, coming election appear for them, the Gas Company I n S. C. Hamdton, of was not favored. Two weeks have been allowed for the filing of petitions. Arthur G. Peacock, representing the Long Island Traction Co., appeared before the Board in reference to the uneven competition they are forced to undergo with busses. He stated that the busses have all the advant age in that they are unrestricted and unregulated and urged the village to take measures to force the busses to apply for franchises, the same as any common carrier. W. 0. Wood, presi dent of the company, supplemented the remarks of Mr. Peacock. The Board received the trolley prop osition favorably and instructed the village counsel to prepare a resolution making Section 26 of the Transporta- W tion Law, apply to Freeport. This states that bus lines must apply for franchises the same as trolley lines. Upon request of the fire chief, Clar ence A. Williams, the Board voted to extend an invitation to the New York Estate Firemen's Association to hold ms 1921 Convention here. r Stephen P. Pettit appeared before > the Board and demanded that action be taken against the Freeport Trolley Co. for the violation of their fran chise, and a motion was made by Trus tee Maxson, and seconded, that the vil lage counsel take action in the name of the village against the Freeport Rail road for violation of franchise. A larger transformer for Main St. will be installed, thereby doing away with the danger of any more lightless Saturday nights. The power house employees are to be granted summer vacations, some thing that has never been done before. Captain John Hartmann of the po lice department was instructed to en force the village ordinance about signs and merchandise on the sidewalks. Sev eral other matters were disposed of before the meeting was adjourned. FREEPORT POLICE DEPARTMENT JEREMIAH WOOD DESIGNATED LT. GOV. AT G. 0. P.

The standard is high, for the generous people of Woodcleft have loaned their talent on morq than one occasion and have pro duced entertainments that were as good as could be seen anywhere, and better, for the reason that ordinarily it would be impossible to get the same array of talent on the same bill. Members of the actor’s colony have agreed to come to the front again in aid of the temple and the result is bound to be entertaining to the high est degree. , Plans are also being made by the ^ Hebrew Congregation, for the laying B of the cornerstone of the Temple in ^ A u g u s t, and elaborate ceremonies will W<lie observed. f \ The officers of the Ladies’ Auxili- ary are as follows: Mrs. Moses Fel- tenstein, president; Mrs. Albert Free man, vice president; Mrs. I.

HISTORICAL MOVIES The Liberty Art Film Service of New York will shortly start making moving pictures of Freeport and have j n —i here collecting historical data. and people of local interest shown here on the screen in try near future at the Plasa the Automatic Registering Machine Company, came before the Town Board on Tuesday and offered to exchange the machines now owned by the town for the newer models, which allows for the voting of split presidential ballots and meets the Mineola Court decision covering that point. Town Clerk Gilbert has on file sev eral applications th a t were made some time ago for the installation of vot ing machines in districts of the town that do not now have them, and these applications will be formally consid ered by the Board before the legal limit expires in which the Board can take action toward installing them. $1,000 ROBBERY IN BALDWIN pretentious minstrel offering that has ever been seen in this vicinita'. Jack Morrissee, who was lorm erly with the Big City Quartette, is the musical director of the show, and Gor don Heath Eldrid, a man prominent in theatrical circles, has been made stage manager. Albin N. Johnson of Freeport will act as interlocutor and the array of talent for the occasion has been re cruited from Freeport and surround ing towns, where the Elks have among their numbers stars of the first mag nitude. A definite date for the first perform ance has not been set as yet, but it will be some time in August, and be sides a full orchestra, the cast will probably number nearly one hundred, and they will present the last word in minstreldom. An annual pilgrimage has been in stituted for the purpose of visiting the surrounding villages and the first will be August 26, which is the ninth anni versary of Freeport Lodge. Leo Fish- el has been appointed chairman of the committee and it is planned to start in autos, with a band, and visit all the communities in the vicinity, returning to the Freeport Club House in the ev ening for a jubilee. Last Thursday evening Freeport Lodge had an explorers’ class initia tion in honor of Franklin G. Hill, Past Exalted Ruler and many members were present who went through dur ing his term of office, 1914-1915. Fifty members of Patchogue Lodge No. 1223 with their Exalted Ruler, E. R. Ack ley, and officers, had charge of the in itiatory work, and did it splendidly. Eleven candidates were put through and twenty-seven applications were re ceived. Most of these applications were due to the good work of John Morris and Dr. W. C. Wild of Rockville Centre, and a committee of Rockville Centre men has been appointed to arrange for a Rockville Centre night, which will be the fourth Thursday in Sep tember. Y.W. C A. CAMP AT P0RTJEFFERS0N Beauties of North Shore Enjoyed by Freeport Girls for Two Weeks at a Time Burglars Steal Liberty Bonds and Jewelry While The Family Are Motoring The residence of Herman Sessler, 108 Thomas avenue, Baldwin, was en tered and robbed Saturday evening of $1,000 in jewelry and Liberty Bonds, between 8:30 and 11:00 o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. Sessler and family sre out motoring for the evening and returning about 11:00 o’clock they found the house in absolute confusion. Every room had been ransacked com pletely, with the exception of the son’s who has only been out of the army a little over a year. The only trace of the robbers was a useless revolver, left behind, which was found in a closet on a shelf and laid so that the muzzle pointed di rectly towards whoever opened the It was found that the thieves had entered the house through the laun dry window and must have been ac quainted with the plans of the family, for they evidently made entry soon after they had gone. The house was thoroughly gone over, and they even stopped to drink a bottle of wine and eat a half a watermelon. Besides $700 in Liberty Bonds, sev eral pieces of jewelry were taken, in cluding the baby’s ring. Mr. Sessler, who is Grand Regent of the Royal Ar canum Lodge, had been presented with a jeweled insignia, which was also stolen. A case of “real stuff” was com- ar 8chool girls these past two pletely overlooked, which leads some i o ,,,, # „irls people to believe that the robbery was ^ eeks; ^ follow11?,g _ committed by youthful yeggs whose ideas of values are still embryonic. Camp life at Camp Monowotuck, the Long Island unit of the Y. W. C. A., situated at picturesque Port Jefferson, has been enjoyed by a large number of VOTERS NOTICE Voters who plan to take part in the primaries in September in the Town of Hempstead, and who are not certain as to the el ection district they live in, can get this information by calling at the office of the Review,where an official list of all the election districts of the town is on file. The primary vote will be held in the fifty election districts which were in use at the last el ection. The new districts as de fined by the Town Board will not be effective until the registra tion days in October. The Review will he glad to as sist any who may desire help in this matter. The district boundaries are clearly defined, and the official descriptions are fully as helpful to those who have not moved from one district to another as to those who have changed their residence since the last voting day. have been there: Miss Edna Hanna, one of the camp leaders; Jessie Pat rick, Lavone Hanna, Dorothy Clark, all councilors; Dorothy White, Flor ence Moore, Katherine Boiler, Helen Weyant, Lucy Baker, Louise Holland, Alberta Verity, Elizabeth Verity, Mar gery Hatfield, Enid Witmer and Aud rey Vogel. Miller place where the camp is sit uated, is just out of Port Jefferson and within easy access to bathing beaches. The north shore in the vi cinity of Port Jefferson is famed for its beauty and the quaint little town with its bustling shipyard affords a place of interest for the girls to visit. The hills are ever beautiful in the four seasons, and in the summer time there are plenty of young people about, for the shores abound in camps for boys and girls. The Y. W. C. A. has obtained a ten nis court for part time use in Free port and any girls who are interested may get particulars from the Y. W. C. A. rooms at 34 South Grove street. CARNIVAL AN ATTRACTION The carnival that is being held in the old open air movie theatre on Main street is attracting swarms of children to the never ending delight of “snatch ing rings” on the merry-go-round, and ti>e thrill of the giant swings. From the time that the gates open in the afternoon until they close at night, the swings are swinging to capacity, and the merry-go-round carries the young and old around and -around, to the strains of the limited repertoire of the organ Clifford Hunt of Dean street, who drives a truck for the B. & R. Mar ket, Freeport, figured in an auto acci dent one day this week. While driving along one of the streets in his delivery route he saw another car coming his way and not being able to get to the curb, he stop ped in the centre of the road. The other car, which was from Roosevelt swerved to one side in ord er to avoid an accident, and hitting a rut in the road, overturned, pinning the driver underneath, and cutting his legs. He was attended by Dr. Gordon Lindsay and taken to the hospital. WILLIAM G. MILLER MARRIEDSATURDAY One of Freeport’s “ Fathers” and Most Prominent Citizens—At Methodist Parsonage William G. Miller of 137 So. Ocean avenue, one of the foremost and best known residents of Freeport, was m a r ried to Mrs. M.

Crash On Queenaborough Bridge Dr. and Mrs. Frank Torek of New York were driving to their summer cottage on Wantagh Canal in Wan- tagh last Saturday and while crossing the Queensborough Bridge, their lim ousine was run into from the rear by another large car.

WINNING STREAK S T I L y RESENT Freeport A. A. Makes It Seven Straight Saturday in Victory Over Waterman A. C. the received 595te votes to 262*4 for Francis H. Hugo, his nearest rival. Jerem iah O.

John A. Behr is chairman of the carnival committee and under his di rection and with favoring weather it will no doubt be a tremendous success, and will afford a wonderful opportuni ty for all those who are looking for a good time and are willing to see their money go to further a good cause and at the same time to be entertained without taking the long and tiresome jtrip to Coney Island. TO ELECT WOMEN The winning streak that has taken possession of the Freeport A. A. base ball team was still in evidence Satur day when they trimmed the W ater man A. C. for their seventh sti\aight victory. The score was six to two and the game was replete with good playing. Black clouds were in evidence but they cast no dampeh on the large crowd th a t lined the diamond. W a ter man did not score until the seventh, when they made their only runs. Next Saturday the boys will play the strengthened Atlantic Nationals and it is expected that a fast game will be the result as the Atlantics have made a good record so far this season. On the seventh of August the crack East Williston team will make their debut in Freeport and will come eager to break the winning streak of the lo cal boys, providing it lasts that long. Some of the statistics of Saturday’s game were .as follows: 2 base hits, Bove; stolen bases, Bove, Dohrman 2; sacrifice hits, Cheshire; strike outs, Rollo 3, Taffner 1, Pierro 2; bases on balls, off Rollo 3, off Taffner 3, off Pierro 2; double plays, Bove to Rollo; left on bases, Freeport 6, W aterman 8.

At the next election of officers to the Board of Education which ♦ ill be held in the Public School on Grand ave nue on the first Tuesday in August, the women of Baldwin are urged to be present in numbers in order to make the policy of the Advance Club a fact. The club has selected a slate com posed of women whom they think will be eminently fitted for the position, and tljp Woman’s Advance Club has shown good judgm ent in all their af fairs thus far.

MAY PASS* BRAKE INSPECTION LAW Large Number of Accidents Happen When Cars Are at Low Rate of Speed While it does not seem possible at first glance, nevertheless statistics re cently compiled by M assachusetts and supported by investigations on a smaller scale in this state, show that seventy-six per cent, of automobile accidents and deaths occurred when machines figuring in the same were running less than fifteen miles ’ an . j hour. This indicates, as is well known, 1 that the great m a jority of accidents ! and deaths occur in congested districts B-1 w ith brakes frequently at fault, and 0 | further indicating t h a t there is a prob- 1 j ability of a state brake inspection law 0 [ being proposed at the next session of (* j the Legislature. 0 ! New York State has no department 0 1 a t present accurately compiling 2 | d ata relative to automobile accidents. 1 1 Secretary of State Hugo’s office re ceives many requests daily, asking for the number of automobile acci dents in this or that section or during the week or the month, many of these requests coming from insurance com panies and sim ilar organizations greatly interested and likewise exer cised in the steadily mounting num- Secretary of S tate Hugo’s latest I J I I I DC A / \ 'L l automobile registration figures, show- n i u i l M I L L D tA L n ing approximately 600,000 cars in this ______ 1 S tate, means that today there is close ... _ : to 700,000 cars on our highways, for Henry Walters Saves Visitor rrom t those from other states must be in- RESCUES WOMAN AT Court of Appeals, and Jam es W. Wadsworth, jr., for United States Senator. J. A. Cook of U lster named Senator Charles W. Dalton for the recommen dation for Lieutenant Governor and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt named Jerem iah Wood, Republican County • Chairman of Nassau. Wood won, the vote being: Wood, 610; Dalton, 492. Francis M. Hugo, Secretary of State, who contended in the conven tion for its recommendation, a fter hav ing been defeated by Mr. Miller, an nounced he would stick by his original intention to go before the enrolled Re publicans in the prim aries. Form er Senator Elon R. Brown, at the in stance of the Jefferson County dele gation, had moved to make the Miller recommendation unanimous, but Hugo declared no one from his county has any right to speak for him. The other candidates have acquisced cheerfully in the action of the Repub lican representatives here. An entire State ticket was recom mended by the convention. This is the first time Republicans have taken such action since the direct prim ary law went into ecect in this State. The Democrats did it two years ago and el ected their candidate for Governor. Although it had been hoped that a recommended ticket would obviate a prim ary fight, the prospect is th a t Thompson and Hugo will make a hot campaign. However, the leaders are satisfied tonight that they have name 1 a winning ticket. Elon R. Brown, former president pro tern, of the Senate, responded when Jefferson County was called. He placed the name of Secretary Hugo before the convention. “He has in this convention more de voted adherents who desire his nomin ation for Governor than any other candidate,” said Mr. Brown. “Nomin ate him and he will get a better vote than any other lYrarr th a t you can A demonstration followed the men tion of Secretary Hugo’s name. Judge George H. Furman of Suf folk, who came forward to second the nomination, warned against coercion or the use of the steam roller. “Get out of the way of a man whom the people want,” he admonished the convention. At this point “W ireless” Louis Zelt- man, who is now an Alderman, thought the time had arrived to start things going for Hugo. In some way he gained possession of the standard of tne New York County delegation. He carried it to the platform, waved it in the faces of the functionaries there, shook his fist in the face of S tate Chairman Glynn, and then started to carry the banner on the run through the centre aisle. Queens, unanimous for Hugo, followed suit. The Bronx standard hit the trail. Oneida, Schen ectady, Montgomery, Suffolk, Madi son, Otsego and last of all, Jefferson followed suit. Zeltner’s attem p ts to stampede the convention for Hugo somehow fliv- vered. The dem onstrants as they re turned to their seats even looked a lit tle shame-faced, but “W ireless” Louis was all smiles. A FREEPORT BOOSTER Drowning in High Surf eluded. This means a car to every 11 ; or 12 persons and cars are increasing in this State today faster than the population. Mrs. Mairgaret Hunt, twenty-five years old, who was visiting Mrs, Welsh of High Hill Beach was saved from drowning Sunday by Henry Walters of Seaford. Mrs. Hunt was in bathing in the i early afternoon and had gone beyond ; the second line of breakers. Realiz- i ing that she was in danger, she start ed to scream and two male friends' went to her assistance. She obtained a hold on one of the men and was tak ing him down with her when he was forced to knock her unconscious in or der to break the hold. It was with difficulty that the two men made their way back to the beach. Henry Walters, who witnessed t h e : occurrence from the beach, went to I the rescue and soon had Mrs. Hunt safely on land. Members of the Coast Guard Sta tion took charge of the first aid treat ment and sent for Dr. Newton of Bell- more. They stated that the surf was the highest that has been seen for some time, but in spite of it, Walters succeeded in effecting a rescue and saving the life of Mrs. Hunt. CORRECTED FIGURES Corrected figures of the total sub scriptions for the Freeport Memorial Library are $31,207.42. These figures have been compiled by Smith F. Pear sall. The work is going to be start ed in the near future and it is expect ed that the rest of the money needed will come in before the library is com pleted.

Baptist Minixter Writes That Free port Is a Paradise Rev Erwin Dennett, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Freeport in an article to the “Watchman Examin er,” a Baptist publication, proves that he has become a Freeport Booster in the short while that he has been here. The article is printed as follows: Rev. Erwin Dennett, long-time pastor of the Tabernacle Church, Borough of Brooklyn, and now pastor of the Freeport church, sent to the Watchman-Examiner the following characteristic letter, which we gladly print: “I would like to invite through the columns of the Watchman-Examiner any Baptists of Manhattan or Brook lyn who wish to go to Paradise before they die to come to this beautiful town of Freeport and buy a house. It is just far enuf from the heart of the city, a town of beautiful homes and has a Baptist Church that needs their presence and help. There are 1,- 600 commuters from here every morning and they are all delight ed to get back here in the evening. Take notice I am not in the real estate business. My business is to urge men and women to obtain citizenship in the New Jerusalem But meanwhile Freeport is as near Paradise as can be found on Long Island.” $500 FOR VlHRARY The bridge and “600” by the ladies of Steams Park# at Milbum Country Club on'July 28, for the benefit of the Freeport Memorial Library Fund, was a pleasing success. Proceeds for the Library netted between $460 and $6©0N I
