BO OTLEGGER S' 1/ DEN SIEZED Troopers Invade Rum Factory at Happauge Whiskey, Guns and Dynamite Taken by Police. ARREST OWNER OF HOUSE Moonshine whiskey, surrounded by guns and dynamite, was taken from a complete li quor factory early Sunday morning by Sta te troopers of the Bay Shore station when they found cases of rum in Hauppauge, kept in the old "Blydenburgh place ," a former man- sion. Among other objects in the boot- legger stronghold were four cases of whiskey made from rye mash, beau- tifully labelled as "Buchanan' s black and white Scotch whiskey," and •'Dis- tillers to His Majesty the Kin? and His .Royal Highness the Prince of Wales." Troopers found the " old Blyden- burg residence" by mere chance. From the road the shack was not visible at that time of night, so in an effort to find the origin of the biiieu liietC . litu Luimi Wi»s> pui'ked in the brush and the investigating ex- pedition- was _ started. There was no mistaking the trail , said Corporal Kemmler, yesterday, because the odor became stronger as they struck off into the woods. Soon they came upon a clearing, which was formerly a handsome estate, but now aban- doned. Every precaution was taken by the troope rs, who, with guns in hand , . stole upon the place ready to shoot their wav in if it need be. It is likely, had they, attacked the bootleg stronghold during daylight hours , the officers would have failed to break through. As hick decreed they chose a favorable time. Within the building lay great quantities of moonshine. There were loaded shotguns near the entrance , 200 rounds of shot-gun ammunition , 41 cases of dynamite, and time fuses and percussion caps. In addition to the three 30-gallon stills seized, 500 one-gallon demi- johns and seven barrels of raw liquor, empty cases, bottles, straw containers and labels galore were confiscated. About 2, 000 gallons of mash were des t royed and the distil- lation plant incapacitated before the troopers left the scene to report the .seizure. Julius Dunn , of Hauppauge, was placed under arrest for ownership of the distilling plant on Sunday, and was held under $500 bai' - for Federal action by Justice of the Peace Roy B. Davis , of Bay Shore. James Dunn, a brother , was temporarily held . for il- legal storing of the dynamite, but dis- claimed any partnership in "His Ma- jesty ' s" distille ry. Kstimatcd in dollars and cents the value of the outfit captured would run into the thousands un Hie retail trade market. It was the third raid of large dimensions made by the .State police within the past two years , the first of which occurred at the Benson estate at Montauk , which was followed several months later by a find at North Brightwaters which netted about 3 ,500 cases and which was a warehouse for a New York concern . Corporal Chris Kemmler and Troop- er Edward McLaughlin made the seizure. Petition for Riverhead Mail Delivery Has Slim ( / Chance , Writes Bacon A letter sent to this newspaper by Congressman Robert L. Bacon fol- lows : "The Postoffice Department has just informed me that it has received an unfavorable report with reference to the establishment of city delivery serv- ice in Riverhead. "They tell me: "The investigation discloses that less than one-fourth of the streets have been provided with street sighs and that , no house numbers have been erected. Inasmuch as these require- ments , of the Department for carrier delivery service have not been met, the establishment of the service would not be warranted at this time. It is proper to state, also, that during the investigation little interest was dis- played by the people in the proposed establishment of carrier service. "Of course you realize perfectl y that the establishment of this service means expense. The Department' s ap- propriations , as a matter of fact, are not adequate to meet all the requests for establishment of this class of serv- ice, and naturally they will not install the service in any community where a real demand for it does not exist. "If the people of Riverhead gener- ally desire this service , and are will- ing to evince their interest and cooper- ation practicallyt there may be a good chance to have it inaLilled before this coming fall. As you understand I want to help, all I can provided there is real sentiment for it. "With kind regards, C "ROBERT L. BACON. " FIRE DESTROYS THREE HOMES NEAR SOUTHAMPTON Locomotive May Have Set Grass Afire Oak Forest Razed in Babylon Town. WOODS BURNAT RIVERSIDE A grass fire on Shinnecock Hills , believed to have been set by sparks from a locomotive , Tuesday after- noon, spread with lightning rapidity, destroying three cottages, a garage and other small buildings. The fire - jumped the Montauk highway and burned right to the water' s edge at Little Neck on the Shinnecock bay. Fire Warden Isaac S. Stivers* of Riverhead , and Robert Hubbard, chief rf the Southampton Fire department, directed the fire fighters , who ren- dered valued service in preventing the flames from destroying other sum- " mer homes on the Hills. The fire ighters were handicapped on account )f the lack of water. The damage is istimatcd at many thousands of dol- lars. Th» rnttagp"! humeri were owned bv Theodore Monell , Miss Eleanor Swaync (a log cabin) and Arthur T. Brice. A garage on the " latter' s " prop- ~ "" jrty was also destroyed, as also was; - i" small building on the property of- - - - Dr. Albert S. Ely, which was used as a studio. Back-firing and trenching prevented the flames from reaching " : Sandringham, Miss Swayne' s big cot- tage, on the shore of Shinnecock bay. - When the fire was at its height it waj; necessary to divert traffic from the Montauk highway-to -the North ~- road. Kurt Grunwald , of Patchogue, - the " -- sugar beet expert, had rented the Mor _ _ .. nell cottage for the season and it is - _ understood Secretary Jardine , of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and —: his family intended to occupy the ~ place for a part of the summer, A fire in the woods near the Quogue- Riverhead State highway, at River- " side, about a mile south of Riverhead - --. village , Tuesday night , endangered " the homes of Charles ("Luck") Smith - and B. A. Lupia. Good work on the - , part of volunteers under , , the direc- tion of Frank Firth and others, --who . - were assigned to duty byj Fire Waf- - ¦ Jen Isaac S. Stivers, prevented these - __ - houses from catching fire. The. firjs __ - .. started-in a junk pile where there _^. were a number of discarded automo- biles. Raymond Vail , the 17-year-old - son of Capt. and Mrs. George A. Vail, ~ who was assisting the fire-fighters, . sustained a scalp wound three inches long when a gasoline tank in one of the old cars exploded and a piece- of metal struck him in the . head. For- " tunatel y his injury was not serious. The rain early this morning- quenched fores t fires in other sections of Suffolk county. With a house and garage hurried to - the ground , and four others escaping a similar fate by a close margin, the section between Pinelawn and Wyan- danch suffered one of the worst brush- and forest fires in years Monday af- ternoon and evening. Fanned by a. stiff northwest wind the flames cot a " swath nearl y a mile wide through the scrubby territory and by ni ghtfall had traveled almos t to the Babylon- Farmingdale turnpike; where it was expected it would die out. Starting at a point just south of the main line of the Long Island Rail- road, the fire quickly swept down up- on the little settlement in the Sheet 9 section. Be fore the handful of fam- ilies were aware of the proximity of . the blaze , the Lewis summer residence fronting on Sheet 9 road was en- veloped. Henry Mitzlaff and a little- group of men succeeded in removing some of the furniture from the build- ing, but this , too, was burned up, so quickly did the fire travel. When it was seen that nothing ' .iould be done to save the house , the i fire fighters turned their attention to 'heir homes, probabl y 200 feet away. t For a time it looked as though these ilso would go Tip in flames. The fire , - however, was checked in the front vard of the Stocker house, A charred . line shows just how near it came: to the other homes occupied by Mitz- laff and Enald. A Sre truck from the Wyandanch Department and apparatus from Babylon attempted t6 give aid; MRS. SABIN FAVORS LIQUOR REFERENDUM IN NEW YORK STATE Mrs. Charles If. Sabin , Republican National Committecwoman represent- ; ng this State, has declared in favor )f the Ka rle-Phelps beer and wine •eferendum bill now before the As- sembly Rules Committee at Albany. "The bill should be reported favor- ibly by the Rules Committee , " said Mrs. Sabin. "If not, individual Re- publicans , in my opinion, will be justi- fied in voting : to discharge the. Rules Committee from further considera- tion of the bill. " Mrs. Sabin made this statement in connection with her reply to Mrs. Ida B. Sammis Woodruff, of Jamaica, who addressed a letter to the National Committeewoman protesting against the action of the Republican women )f 35 counties who met in Albany last week and indorsed the candidacy of Senator Wadsworth for re-election. Mrs. Woodruffs letter follows : 'Dear Madam : "I am writing to ask you upon what minority Republican women of thir- ty-fi ve counties recently met, and up- >n what authority they took action indorsing Senator Wadsworth' s can- didacy for reelection? I feel that 1 have a perfect right to ask you foi :his information as a Republican my- self , and, especially because of the tact that I was the first woman hon- ored by my party, by election as a nembe r of the Assembly of this State. "Why were representatives of only thirty-five counties present? Was this representation limited in the call oi 'he meeting, if there was any call' : if so, what determined the choice oi these particular counties ? Aside from a pre-arranged and cut-and- Jried scheme to endorse Senator Wadsworth , what was the occasion for this meeting? "More important yet , what creden- tials did these women hold to repre- sent the women of the Republican party of this . Stale in this specific matter? I challenge the ri ght of these women , about thirty-five in numbe r, to speak for me and thous- ands of other Republican women in the state on this proposition. If any- thing further were needed to cause us to record our opposition to Senator Wadsworth at the polls, it is just this kind of a precipitous and groundless.

Stealing about $700 worth * of tires and a cash register from Lopcr' s gar- age at Port Jefferson on the night of January 15 last , and then committing perjury on the witness stand in the County court this week, has landed James Nelson, a young man with, a bad record, in Sing Sing prison, where he has been sentenced for eight years " at hard labor. " Nelson, vn; ho is a resident of New Jersey, was severely Rayed by Judge George H. ffurma n, who imposed the sentence. Judge Fur- man said in part: "You. told one of the most foolish ami nonsensical lies that has ever been heard in this court room and you expected the jury to bel ieve you. In your case there is nothing that commends you to mercy. You not only were convicted of steal- ing, but you committed perjury^ You also deceived your wife by not telling her before you married her that you had previously bee n convicted of a crime. You wanted to have a good time and spend money without work- ing for it. In sentencing you I am going to give you the limit. " Nelson testified that he found the tires and the cash register in the highway near East Setauket. He was convicted of burglary, third degree. Joseph-Reimer and Oscar Musso , of Patchogue, who were indicted in con- nection with the same theft , entered pleas of guilty. Musso, also a second offender, was sentenced to Sing Sing for five years, and Reimer was gi ven six months in the county jail. These three also we re indicted for grand lar- ceny, second degree , and Nelson and Musso also were indicted for crimin- ally receiving stolen property as a felony. Judge Furman insti'ucted Sheriff Burton G. Howe to have Nelson and Musso taken to Sing Sing separately and instructions also arc to be given that they be kept apart. GOVERNOR VETOES LAND CLAIMS BILL Thompson Measure , Which Would Help Owners in Park Dispute, Fails to Gain Approval. Senator Thompson' s ; bill amending the Court of Claims bill , extendirg the time under which land owne rs could file claims for property taken over by the State for park or other purposes, was vetoed by Gov. Smith on Monday ni ght 'Under the Thompson measurr owners of land at East Islip and Montauk , who are suing the Long Island State Park Commission to re- cover lands seized for park purposes would gain more time in which to file their claims with the Court of Claims. Gov. Smith recently vetoed a sim- ilar bill by Senator Thompson, who introduced the last one , as ho be- lieved, he said at the time , in con- formity with the Governor s memo- randum accompanying the veto. In his statement last nigh t the Governor said that if the Thompson bill were to become a law it should not be an amendment to the Court of Claims act , but an amendment to the Conservation law, in which is set up the machinery for acquiring land for park purposes. The own3rs of the land at East Is- lip and Montauk Point have raised the contention that , unde r the pres- ent Court of Claims act and the Con- servation law, if they start a suit in another court to test the validity of the taking of the land , they must either file their claims within two years in the Court of Claims and drop the other suit , or by the opera- tion of the two-year limitation period they must lose their opportunity to (Continued on page 2) Railroad Plans 11-Million Improvements This Year Long Island Railroad improve- ments included in the . Company ' s budget for 1926, roach a total out- lay of approximately $11 ,000, 000. , Among the major projects under] way or to be started soon, are the following: Plans are also in the course of pre- paration foi tire installati on of a second track on the Montauk Division from Sayville to a point east of Patchogue , in addition to the con- struction of a storage yard and an engine, terminal. It is estimated this work will cost more " than $500 , 000. New ties to the number of 155,000 have been ordered, and will replace worn-out ties and also be used for double-tracking on the Montauk and Long Beach Divisions. It is proposed to erect two new passenger stations this year, one at Northport and the other at West Hempstead. To comply with an order of the Public Service Commission , the Rail- road Company plans to eliminate the irrade crossing at Mattituck , on the Main Line. This will cost about $75,000: At a cost of about $910 , 000, the Long Island Railroad is having con- structed seven electric freight "lo- comotives. Three of them will be used for switching and transfer service in the operation of all Long Island freight business on the Bay Ridge Division between f resh Pond Junction and Bay Ridge Yard , and the four other engines will be used in electric switching operations for the New York Connecting Railroad and the Long Island Railroad at Bay Ridge Yard. In further compliance with the re- quirements of the Kaufmann Electri- fication Law , the Railroad last year purchased a 100-ton oil-electric Diesel locomotive for freight service at a cost of $100,000, and early this year acquired a new gas-electric engine , for freight shifting service , costing $60, 000. Twenty new all-steel passenger equipment cars for steam train service have been ordered and arc scheduled for delivery thjs year. Their cost will be about : l$370 , 000. The twenty steel parlor cars which the Company owns and operated last year , are being converted into steam passenger coaches at a cost of about $132,000. This work is being done in the Company' s shops at Morris Park. GROSVENOR NICHOLAS LOSES FIGHT AGAINST SURROGATE'S RULING Surrogate Robert S. Pelletreau is sustained in a decision handed down Thursday by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Second Depart- ment, in the contest over the probate of the will of the late George ;S. Nicholas , of Manhattan and West 'slip, who died on Sept. 13, 1922, leave ing an estate valued at about 83, 000,- 000. The estate was divided among two daughters and two sons, the Misses Elizabeth T. Nicholas and Virginia T. Nicholas , George S. Nicholas, jr., and Rfdgefy Nicholas , of Big Horn, Wy- oming. ¦ Grosvenor Nicholas, another son, an importer of 60 Broad street , Man- hattan,, and his children were disin- herited by the father. The will has this to say about Grosvenor: "I purposely ' make no provision for my soil, Grosvenor, or his children; because of his unfilial attitude toward me for many years past. " ' Grosvenor, who is well Iraown in New York society arid who is a mem- ber of the Southampton summer col- on}' , filed " objections to the probate of his.father' s will , alleging that his . ' ather was incompetent when the will was executed - on Oct.- 14, - 1921, . and nlso that his sisters and brother had used undue influence to cause their father to disinherit him. It was claimed that the son , George S. Nicholas, jr., had been very bit- ter toward Grosvenor for some time before the father' s death and had in- fluenced the two sisters against Gros- venor. The will contest, which was one of the most famous aiid most bitterly fought in Suffolk County, was tried uefurt:. Suriu^ttttc Pulietreau and a jury here in February, 1924 , and the iury decided that the testator was ' ncomno tent at the time he executed the will. In other words , the jury de- cided in favor of the contestant. Surrogate Pelletreau set aside the verdict of the jury and admitted the will to probate. Grosvenor Nicholas took an appeal. The appeal affirmed the decision of the Surrogate. The majority opinion was written by Jus- tice Kelly and Associate Justice Man- ning, concurring. Associate Justice Kapper wro te a dissenting opinion. Associate Justice Ritch favored a new trial, but wrote no opinion . It is un- derstood that Grosvenor will take an appeal to the Court of Appeals. mcausc nc married another woman when his wife refused to leave the country to live with him in the city, Perry Vrceland, 32, of Southold , was sent to the penitentiary to-day by Jurge W. Bernard Vause of Kings County. "Give ' me a chance, " begged Vresland when brought up for sentence. "Just as much chance as you gave these two girls ," said Judge Vause. "Perhaps Main st. won't look so bad wh en you' re up the river. " Vreeland admitted that he had married Miss Grace Lederer of Brooklyn , when his wife insisted she would not go to the city. The term Vreeland must serve will be determined by the Parole Board. WIFE BALKED AT CITY V SO MAN FINDS ANOTHER NEW RECORD IS ESTABLISHED BY DIST. ATTORNEY Twenty-nine Convictions and Only Two Acquittals at March Term—Littl e Ac- tivity in Suffolk Political Circles. District Attorney George W. Hii- drcth and the members of his staff are being highly commended for the splendid showing made at the April term of the County Court when a new record was established by that office. Out of 35 cases, 29 defendants pleaded guilty i>: were convicted and there were only two acquittals. J. J. Cole, who was recently ap- pointed postmaster at Jamesport , has been an active Republican worker for many years. _ It is unusuall y quiet politically in Suffolk county for a year when there ire to be a number of important of- fices to be filled . In all probability there will be no opposition to the re- nomination in the Republican prim- ary of District Attorney George W. Hildreth anil County Superintendent )f Poo r Albert W. Young. Thus far no candidate except Shepherd M. Scudder , the present incumbent, has nublic 'v announced his candidacy for the G. O. P. nomination. County Auditor William F. Flanagan will not be a candidate for renomination. No one appears very anxious for that nomination , cither. The Riverhead Town Assessors are considering making a general increase jf 25 per cent, in the asssessments this year. Thirty-five vice chairmen of county committees responded to the call of Miss Sarah Schuyler Butler, vice chairman of the Republican State Committee and held a two days' conference at Albany on April 12 and ¦ 13, when plans for the coming state- wide political campaign were dis- cussed. The keynote of the meeting was sounded by Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, Republican National Committeee- woman from New York , -who urged the women of the state to get behind Senator Wadsworth and re-nominate and reelect him. Mrs. 'Sabin re- counted 'his background and the manner in wh'ch his famil y have served New York state and the United States, and then gave an out- line of some of the things he has ac hieved since 1914, when he was elected to the United States Senate. Islip Town voted last week to quit doing road work for itself and will this year let contracts instead. Considerable saving has been made through town operation , but now the tables are turned. Modern ma- chinery and higher labor costs have altered the situation, so that private interests can do the work as cheaply if not more economical- ly than the town itself. Hitherto Isli p was the only town in Suffolk where public roadway building remained in charge of the officials. Thousands of dollars had been saved. Cost gradually in- creased. This year bids received on similar work elsewhere show that continuance of the old method would mean loss. New equipment would require heavy outlay of funds. Private concerns find such expenditure easier than the town. Moreover , the labor market this summer promises to become tight, with men asking for higher wages. ISLIP TO LET CONTRACTS FOR ROAD WORK THIS YEAR The Suffolk County Taxpayers* as- ¦ sociation has written to official!: ' giving approval to the Long Island ! State Park commission' s plans for I parks at Wading River and Babylon j and disapproving of the projects at i Sunken Mcadow-Smithtown and Mon- tauk Point. The association declared in a state - ment accompanying the announcement that the Southern Parkway projec t ' was a " mysterious" one, its claims ; having been laid out privately and the rights of way having been ac- quired in the same manner. It dis- approves of the parkway project and lsks the authorities of Nassau and Suffolk counties to watch it sharply. "In 1924 ." it is said in the state - ment, " with an appropriation of $200, 000, this commission attempted to acquire by methods most unusual itatc parks at Montauk Point (East Hampton). Deer Range (Islip) and Lloyds Neck (Huntington). The own- ers estimated that the land thus ap- propriated and seized by this com- mission was worth $4,000, 000. The 3wners of the land in Islip and Ear.t Hampton have both asked the courts to protect their property from im- mediate confiscation and indefinite payments. "On February 24 it received from the Legislature an added appropria- tion of ?1 ,000 . nnn for the develop- ment of state parks on Long Island. Instead o{ applying all its funds to n unified program which could be com- pleted and made immediately avail- able to the public, it has obligated $725,000 to five new projects and $200, 000 for the development of the projects not yet acquired under the 1924 appropriation and the new oner, proposed under the 1926."

The holders of the 10,000 shares ol old common will receive 10 shares of the new for each of the old which they owned. The price of the hew common, until further notice , is to be $23 per share. The balance of the new com- mon is to be sold in units of oho shar«- common with one share of 7 per cent Preferred Stock.

BOOTLEGGERS'1/ DEN SIEZED

Troopers Invade Rum Factoryat Happauge — Whiskey,Guns and Dynamite Takenby Police.

ARREST OWNER OF HOUSEMoonshine whiskey, surrounded by

guns and dynamite, was taken from acomplete liquor factory early Sundaymorning by State troopers of the BayShore station when they found casesof rum in Hauppauge, kept in the old"Blydenburgh place," a former man-sion.

Among other objects in the boot-legger stronghold were four cases ofwhiskey made from rye mash, beau-tifully labelled as "Buchanan's blackand white Scotch whiskey," and •'Dis-tillers to His Majesty the Kin? and His.Royal Highness the Prince of Wales."

Troopers found the "old Blyden-burg residence" by mere chance.

From the road the shack was notvisible at that time of night, so inan effort to find the origin of thebiiieu liietC .lituLuimi Wi»s> pui'ked inthe brush and the investigating ex-pedition- was_ started. There was nomistaking the trail , said CorporalKemmler, yesterday, because theodor became stronger as they struckoff into the woods. Soon they cameupon a clearing, which was formerlya handsome estate, but now aban-doned. Every precaution was taken bythe troopers, who, with guns in hand,.stole upon the place ready to shoottheir wav in if it need be.

It is likely, had they, attacked thebootleg stronghold during daylighthours, the officers would have failedto break through. As hick decreedthey chose a favorable time. Withinthe building lay great quantities ofmoonshine.

There were loaded shotguns nearthe entrance, 200 rounds of shot-gunammunition, 41 cases of dynamite,and time fuses and percussion caps.

In addition to the three 30-gallonstills seized, 500 one-gallon demi-johns and seven barrels of rawliquor, empty cases, bottles, strawcontainers and labels galore wereconfiscated. About 2,000 gallons ofmash were destroyed and the distil-lation plant incapacitated before thetroopers left the scene to report the.seizure.

Julius Dunn , of Hauppauge, wasplaced under arrest for ownership ofthe distilling plant on Sunday, andwas held under $500 bai'- for Federalaction by Justice of the Peace Roy B.Davis, of Bay Shore. James Dunn, abrother, was temporarily held . for il-legal storing of the dynamite, but dis-claimed any partnership in "His Ma-jesty's" distille ry.

Petition for RiverheadMail Delivery Has Slim

( / Chance, Writes BaconA letter sent to this newspaper by

Congressman Robert L. Bacon fol-lows:

"The Postoffice Department has justinformed me that it has received anunfavorable report with reference tothe establishment of city delivery serv-ice in Riverhead.

"They tell me:"The investigation discloses that

less than one-fourth of the streetshave been provided with street sighsand that , no house numbers have beenerected. Inasmuch as these require-ments , of the Department for carrierdelivery service have not been met, theestablishment of the service would notbe warranted at this time. It isproper to state, also, that during theinvestigation little interest was dis-played by the people in the proposedestablishment of carrier service.

"Of course you realize perfectlythat the establishment of this servicemeans expense. The Department's ap-propriations, as a matter of fact, arenot adequate to meet all the requestsfor establishment of this class of serv-ice, and naturally they will not installthe service in any community where areal demand for it does not exist.

"If the people of Riverhead gener-ally desire this service, and are will-ing to evince their interest and cooper-ation practicallyt there may be a goodchance to have it inaLilled before thiscoming fall. As you understand Iwant to help, all I can provided thereis real sentiment for it.

FIRE DESTROYS THREE •HOMES NEAR SOUTHAMPTON

Locomotive May Have SetGrass Afire — Oak ForestRazed in Babylon Town.

WOODS BURNAT RIVERSIDEA grass fire on Shinnecock Hills,

believed to have been set by sparksfrom a locomotive, Tuesday after-noon, spread with lightning rapidity,destroying three cottages, a garageand other small buildings. The fire -jumped the Montauk highway andburned right to the water's edge atLittle Neck on the Shinnecock bay.

Fire Warden Isaac S. Stivers* ofRiverhead, and Robert Hubbard, chiefrf the Southampton Fire department,directed the fire fighters, who ren-dered valued service in preventingthe flames from destroying other sum-"mer homes on the Hills. The fireighters were handicapped on account)f the lack of water. The damage isistimatcd at many thousands of dol-lars.

Th» rnttagp"! humeri were owned bvTheodore Monell , Miss EleanorSwaync (a log cabin) and Arthur T.Brice. A garage on the"latter's"prop-~" "

jrty was also destroyed, as also was; -i" small building on the property of- ---Dr. Albert S. Ely, which was used as a studio. Back-firing and trenchingprevented the flames from reaching " :Sandringham, Miss Swayne's big cot-tage, on the shore of Shinnecock bay. -

When the fire was at its height itwaj; necessary to divert traffic fromthe Montauk highway-to -the North ~ -road.

Kurt Grunwald, of Patchogue,- the "--

sugar beet expert, had rented the Mor _ _..nell cottage for the season and it is - _understood Secretary Jardine, of theU. S. Department of Agriculture and—:his family intended to occupy the ~place for a part of the summer,

A fire in the woods near the Quogue-Riverhead State highway, at River-"side, about a mile south of Riverhead ---.village, Tuesday night, endangered "the homes of Charles ("Luck") Smith -and B. A. Lupia. Good work on the - ,—part of volunteers under ,, the direc-tion of Frank Firth and others,--who .-were assigned to duty byj Fire Waf-- —¦Jen Isaac S. Stivers, prevented these- __-houses from catching fire. The. firjs _ _ - ..started-in a junk pile where there _ .were a number of discarded automo-biles. Raymond Vail , the 17-year-old -son of Capt. and Mrs. George A. Vail, ~who was assisting the fire-fighters, .sustained a scalp wound three incheslong when a gasoline tank in one ofthe old cars exploded and a piece- ofmetal struck him in the. head. For- "tunately his injury was not serious.

The rain early this morning-quenched fores t fires in other sectionsof Suffolk county.

With a house and garage hurried to -the ground, and four others escapinga similar fate by a close margin, thesection between Pinelawn and Wyan-danch suffered one of the worst brush-and forest fires in years Monday af-ternoon and evening. Fanned by a.stiff northwest wind the flames cot a"swath nearly a mile wide throughthe scrubby territory and by nightfallhad traveled almos t to the Babylon-Farmingdale turnpike; where it wasexpected it would die out.

Starting at a point just south ofthe main line of the Long Island Rail-road, the fire quickly swept down up-on the little settlement in the Sheet9 section. Before the handful of fam-ilies were aware of the proximity of .the blaze, the Lewis summer residencefronting on Sheet 9 road was en-veloped. Henry Mitzlaff and a little-group of men succeeded in removingsome of the furniture from the build-ing, but this, too, was burned up, soquickly did the fire travel.

When it was seen that nothing'.iould be done to save the house, the

i fire fighters turned their attention to'heir homes, probably 200 feet away.

t For a time it looked as though theseilso would go Tip in flames. The fire ,-however, was checked in the frontvard of the Stocker house, A charred .line shows just how near it came: tothe other homes occupied by Mitz-laff and Enald.

MRS. SABIN FAVORSLIQUOR REFERENDUM

IN NEW YORK STATEMrs. Charles If. Sabin , Republican

National Committecwoman represent-;ng this State, has declared in favor)f the Karle-Phelps beer and wine•eferendum bill now before the As-sembly Rules Committee at Albany.

"The bill should be reported favor-ibly by the Rules Committee," saidMrs. Sabin. "If not, individual Re-publicans, in my opinion, will be justi-fied in voting : to discharge the.RulesCommittee from further considera-tion of the bill."

Mrs. Sabin made this statement inconnection with her reply to Mrs. IdaB. Sammis Woodruff, of Jamaica, whoaddressed a letter to the NationalCommitteewoman protesting againstthe action of the Republican women)f 35 counties who met in Albany lastweek and indorsed the candidacy ofSenator Wadsworth for re-election.Mrs. Woodruffs letter follows:'Dear Madam :

"I am writing to ask you upon whatminority Republican women of thir-ty-fi ve counties recently met, and up->n what authority they took actionindorsing Senator Wadsworth's can-didacy for reelection? I feel that 1have a perfect right to ask you foi:his information as a Republican my-self, and, especially because of thetact that I was the first woman hon-ored by my party, by election as anember of the Assembly of this State.

"Why were representatives of onlythirty-five counties present? Was thisrepresentation limited in the call oi'he meeting, if there was any call':if so, what determined the choice oithese particular counties? Asidefrom a pre-arranged and cut-and-Jried scheme to endorse SenatorWadsworth , what was the occasionfor this meeting?

"More important yet, what creden-tials did these women hold to repre-sent the women of the Republicanparty of this . Stale in this specificmatter? I challenge the right ofthese women , about thirty-five innumber, to speak for me and thous-ands of other Republican women inthe state on this proposition. If any-thing further were needed to cause usto record our opposition to SenatorWadsworth at the polls, it is just thiskind of a precipitous and groundless."

Nelson, vn;ho is aresident of New Jersey, was severelyRayed by Judge George H. ffurman,who imposed the sentence. Judge Fur-man said in part: "You. told one ofthe most foolish ami nonsensical liesthat has ever been heard in this courtroom and you expected the jury tobelieve you. In your case there isnothing that commends you to mercy.You not only were convicted of steal-ing, but you committed perjury^ Youalso deceived your wife by not tellingher before you married her that youhad previously been convicted of acrime. You wanted to have a goodtime and spend money without work-ing for it. In sentencing you I amgoing to give you the limit."

Nelson testified that he found thetires and the cash register in thehighway near East Setauket. He wasconvicted of burglary, third degree.

Joseph-Reimer and Oscar Musso, ofPatchogue, who were indicted in con-nection with the same theft, enteredpleas of guilty.

Senator Thompson's; bill amendingthe Court of Claims bill, extendirgthe time under which land ownerscould file claims for property takenover by the State for park or otherpurposes, was vetoed by Gov. Smithon Monday night

'Under the Thompson measurrowners of land at East Islip andMontauk , who are suing the LongIsland State Park Commission to re-cover lands seized for park purposeswould gain more time in which tofile their claims with the Court ofClaims.

Gov. Smith recently vetoed a sim-ilar bill by Senator Thompson, whointroduced the last one, as ho be-lieved, he said at the time, in con-formity with the Governor s memo-randum accompanying the veto.

In his statement last night theGovernor said that if the Thompsonbill were to become a law it shouldnot be an amendment to the Courtof Claims act, but an amendment tothe Conservation law, in which isset up the machinery for acquiringland for park purposes.

The own3rs of the land at East Is-lip and Montauk Point have raisedthe contention that , under the pres-ent Court of Claims act and the Con-servation law, if they start a suit inanother court to test the validity ofthe taking of the land, they musteither file their claims within twoyears in the Court of Claims anddrop the other suit, or by the opera-tion of the two-year limitation periodthey must lose their opportunity to

GROSVENOR NICHOLASLOSES FIGHT AGAINST

SURROGATE'S RULINGSurrogate Robert S. Pelletreau is

sustained in a decision handed downThursday by the Appellate Divisionof the Supreme Court, Second Depart-ment, in the contest over the probateof the will of the late George ;S.Nicholas, of Manhattan and West'slip, who died on Sept. 13, 1922, leaveing an estate valued at about 83,000,-000.

The estate was divided among twodaughters and two sons, the MissesElizabeth T. Nicholas and Virginia T.Nicholas, George S. Nicholas, jr., andRfdgefy Nicholas, of Big Horn, Wy-oming.¦ Grosvenor Nicholas, another son,an importer of 60 Broad street, Man-hattan,, and his children were disin-herited by the father. The will hasthis to say about Grosvenor:

"I purposely ' make no provision formy soil, Grosvenor, or his children;because of his unfilial attitude towardme for many years past." '

Grosvenor, who is well Iraown inNew York society arid who is a mem-ber of the Southampton summer col-on}', filed "objections to the probateof his.father's will, alleging that his.'ather was incompetent when the willwas executed - on Oct.- 14,- 1921,. andnlso that his sisters and brother hadused undue influence to cause theirfather to disinherit him.

It was claimed that the son, GeorgeS. Nicholas, jr., had been very bit-ter toward Grosvenor for some timebefore the father's death and had in-fluenced the two sisters against Gros-venor.

The will contest, which was one ofthe most famous aiid most bitterlyfought in Suffolk County, was trieduefurt:. Suriu^ttttc Pulietreau and ajury here in February, 1924, and theiury decided that the testator was'ncomnotent at the time he executedthe will. In other words, the jury de-cided in favor of the contestant.

Surrogate Pelletreau set aside theverdict of the jury and admitted thewill to probate. Grosvenor Nicholastook an appeal. The appeal affirmedthe decision of the Surrogate. Themajority opinion was written by Jus-tice Kelly and Associate Justice Man-ning, concurring. Associate JusticeKapper wrote a dissenting opinion.Associate Justice Ritch favored a newtrial, but wrote no opinion. It is un-derstood that Grosvenor will take anappeal to the Court of Appeals.

mcausc nc married anotherwoman when his wife refused toleave the country to live with himin the city, • Perry Vrceland, 32,of Southold, was sent to thepenitentiary to-day by Jurge W.Bernard Vause of Kings County.

"Give ' me a chance," beggedVresland when brought up forsentence.

"Just as much chance as yougave these two girls," said JudgeVause. "Perhaps Main st. won'tlook so bad when you're up theriver."

Vreeland admitted that he hadmarried Miss Grace Lederer ofBrooklyn , when his wife insistedshe would not go to the city.

The term Vreeland must servewill be determined by the ParoleBoard.

NEW RECORD ISESTABLISHED BY

DIST. ATTORNEYTwenty-nine Convictions and

Only Two Acquittals atMarch Term—Little Ac-tivity in Suffolk PoliticalCircles.

District Attorney George W. Hii-drcth and the members of his staffare being highly commended for thesplendid showing made at the Aprilterm of the County Court when a newrecord was established by that office.Out of 35 cases, 29 defendants pleadedguilty i>: were convicted and therewere only two acquittals.

J. J. Cole, who was recently ap-pointed postmaster at Jamesport, hasbeen an active Republican worker formany years.

_ It is unusually quiet politically inSuffolk county for a year when thereire to be a number of important of-fices to be filled . In all probabilitythere will be no opposition to the re-nomination in the Republican prim-ary of District Attorney George W.Hildreth anil County Superintendent)f Poor Albert W. Young. Thus farno candidate except Shepherd M.Scudder, the present incumbent, hasnublic'v announced his candidacy forthe G. O. P. nomination. CountyAuditor William F. Flanagan will notbe a candidate for renomination. Noone appears very anxious for thatnomination, cither.

The Riverhead Town Assessors areconsidering making a general increasejf 25 per cent, in the asssessmentsthis year.

Thirty-five vice chairmen of countycommittees responded to the call ofMiss Sarah Schuyler Butler, vicechairman of the Republican StateCommittee and held a two days'conference at Albany on April 12 and¦13, when plans for the coming state-wide political campaign were dis-cussed.

The keynote of the meeting wassounded by Mrs. Charles H. Sabin,Republican National Committeee-woman from New York , -who urgedthe women of the state to get behindSenator Wadsworth and re-nominateand reelect him. Mrs. 'Sabin re-counted 'his background and themanner in wh'ch his famil y haveserved New York state and theUnited States, and then gave an out-line of some of the things he hasachieved since 1914, when he waselected to the United States Senate.

Islip Town voted last week toquit doing road work for itself andwill this year let contracts instead.Considerable saving has been madethrough town operation, but nowthe tables are turned. Modern ma-chinery and higher labor costshave altered the situation, so thatprivate interests can do the workas cheaply if not more economical-ly than the town itself.

Hitherto Islip was the only townin Suffolk where public roadwaybuilding remained in charge of theofficials. Thousands of dollars hadbeen saved. Cost gradually in-creased. This year bids receivedon similar work elsewhere showthat continuance of the old methodwould mean loss.

New equipment would requireheavy outlay of funds. Privateconcerns find such expenditureeasier than the town. Moreover,the labor market this summerpromises to become tight, withmen asking for higher wages.

ISLIP TO LET CONTRACTSFOR ROAD WORK THIS YEAR

The Suffolk County Taxpayers* as- ¦sociation has written to official!: 'giving approval to the Long Island !State Park commission's plans for Iparks at Wading River and Babylon jand disapproving of the projects at iSunken Mcadow-Smithtown and Mon-tauk Point.

The association declared in a state-ment accompanying the announcementthat the Southern Parkway project 'was a "mysterious" one, its claims ;having been laid out privately andthe rights of way having been ac-quired in the same manner. It dis-approves of the parkway project andlsks the authorities of Nassau andSuffolk counties to watch it sharply.

"In 1924." it is said in the state-ment, "with an appropriation of$200,000, this commission attemptedto acquire by methods most unusualitatc parks at Montauk Point (EastHampton). Deer Range (Islip) andLloyds Neck (Huntington). The own-ers estimated that the land thus ap-propriated and seized by this com-mission was worth $4,000,000. The3wners of the land in Islip and Ear.tHampton have both asked the courtsto protect their property from im-mediate confiscation and indefinitepayments.

"On February 24 it received fromthe Legislature an added appropria-tion of ?1 ,000.nnn for the develop-ment of state parks on Long Island.Instead o{ applying all its funds to nunified program which could be com-pleted and made immediately avail-able to the public, it has obligated$725,000 to five new projects and$200,000 for the development of theprojects not yet acquired under the1924 appropriation and the new oner,proposed under the 1926."
