ADDS TO LIST OF "ENEMIES" Mrs. Le Compte Includes Law-yer McCaffrey in Resuming her weird story as a witness In her suit for separation before Justice Scudder, In Special Term of the Supreme Court in Long Island City, Mrs. Madelon LeCompte yesterday added Law yer Francis X. McCaffrey to the already long list of persons who she swore are In the gigantic "conspiracy" to do her harm in some form or other. Since she began her narrative us a witness, Mrs.

LeCompte has Insisted with monotonous frequency that there has been "a great plot" on foot for a long while against and she has accused almost everybody connected even remotely with the litigatiou her troubles have entailed. It was when Lawyer McCaffrey, who is attorney for Edward LeCompte, Madelon's husband, flashed the record of her alleged bigamous marriage at Wakefield. N. to William F. Cuburn in 1907, that the witness added him to the list of her "enemies." She denied all knowledge of the Wakefield incident, which she talked about considerably in times gone by, and Interrupted her answers to the questions by saying to her inquisitor: McCaffrey, you are the man who tried your darndest to send me away In that bigamy business five years ago.

You did everything you could to send me back to New Hampshire, but you couldn't do It. You are tho man, aU right, because I never forget tho, name of an enemy." "Am 1 your enemy?" asked Lawyer McCaffrey, soothingly. "You certainly are," snapped Mrs. LeCompte. Lawyer McCaffrey assured her she ifns mistaken and that he hod no hand, either as Assistant District Attorney of Kinrcs County, or otherwise, in the prosecution of an extradition warrant for bigamy.

BROTHER PEDDLERS QUARREL. One Smites the Other and Is Fined $20. Freeport, L. April 30 Charles Wydcr and Henry Wyder are brothers; they are also peddlers. Until yesterday they lived together on Park avenue, Roosevelt, but they quarreled yesterday; cause, business jealousy, and now they are parted.

Charles worked for Henry, but the latter grew jealous when Charles won several customers away from Henry, and Henry punished Charles. Charles took exception to the emphatic beligerency of Honry and made a complaint In the local court against him, charging assault. Police Justice Flint heard the case yesterday and adjudged Henry guilty, giving him the alternative of paying a fine of $20 or going to jail for twenty days. Henry paid his fine, the meanwhile looking fiercely at Charles. Charles was "fired," and now Henry will have all the business to him self.

He will have no further cause for jealousy. He left the court to get his rig to start in making up for the $20 he had just parted with. THE FOURTH AT W00DHAVEN.

Although Saul was ordered committed by Justice Putnam In Brooklyn for being Bhort $180.84 in ali mony due his wife, Mathilda, and Mur phy owed his quondam spouse $128 and was committed on a New York County order, the records show that Deputy Sheriff James Nix arrested both men in the same place at the same time.

BOYLE OPPOSES OPENING OF STREETS Patchogue Woman Would Preserve Exclusiveness of Her Country Estate. VILLAGE BOARD HEARING. Patchogue Men Want Streets Opened to New Ee.al Estate Development in Village. especial to The Eagle.) rau-hiigue. L.

April 30 Mrs. I'boebe A. D. Boyle, a wealthy Brooklyn woman, Is tho only contestant In the matter of opening two new streets in Patchogue. One of the proposed thoroughfares, Lincoln street, runs cast and west from Rider avenue to Buy avenue, and the other, which will be an extension of Bailey avenue, will run north and south trorn Carman street to the proposed new Lincoln street.

Tho request for these two new Btreets Is made lu order to open up a largo tract of undeveloped property, now known as Oaknicre Park, and which Is a part of tho old Carman place, one of the oldest private estates on Long Island. It is to bo cut up into building lots by J. Robert Bailey and Lewis A. Seitz, both of Patchoguo. They are anions the petitioners lu tho action.

At a meeting of the village board of trustees, held last night, a hearing was called in the matter. Louis B. Ilasbrouck, tutoniey fur Mrs. Boyle, was represented by County Judge John K. Vunk, who usked for an adjournment until Friday next, lie said that the attorneys had not been able to prepare their side of tho case.

He said that a settlement might be made betweeu Mrs. Boyle and tho petitioners. Mrs. Boylo baa a large and beautiful tract of property adjoining the Oakmere tract. If the plan goes through as mapped out, the southerly end of the Pailey avenue extension will be on her estate.

Lincoln street will be entirely on her land. Jn fact, there Is already a road, where Lincoln street is planned. It Is said to have been used by the public for over twenty years, and last summer Mrs. Boyle closed It up. Mrs.

Boyle wishes to hold her property as a private estate. The opening of the two streets will result in a building lot boom, especially so far as the Oak-mere property Is concerned. The defense offered by her attorneys is that tle will be damaged in a greater proportion than the public necessity warrants for the street openings. MRS. HOES DEAD AT 90 YEARS.

R. ENGINEER IN COURT. Health Officers Got Free Ride oa Smoke-Blown Locomotive R. R. Lawyer Denounces Foul Creek.

Justice J. J. Mclnerney, In the Jamaica Court of Special Sessions, yesterday, declared that the statute under which officers of the Department of Health are continually arresting employes of the Long Island Railroad and manufacturing concerns, for causing dense smoke to issue from chimneys of locomotives or lire rooms, is arbitrary and unjust, and he Bald the sooner a test case is made and an adjudication had in a higher court the better it will be for the railroad und manufacturers. Attorney Griffith of the Long Island Railroad, who defended Thomas Gerlty, a locomotive engineer, charged by Dr. John Oberwager und Officer Clancy, of tho Department of Health, Queens, with permitting douse smoke to emit from his engine iu tho Long lslaud Railroad yards at Lung lslaud City ou January 17, informed the court that the New York Central now has a similar case on appeal iu New York City.

Attorney Griffith declared ho did not consider tho Long Island Railroad wes being haled to court, but merely Gcrity, uu employe, aud lie desired to have the case tried on Its merits. Justice Mclnerney declared the court could do no more lhan abide by the arbitrary section of the sanitary code under which Gerity was brought to court, and find him guilty. Gcrity had sentence suspended. In speaking about the arbitrary statuta In open court, justice Mclnerney said: i is iiiipossioia lor manufacturers in New York City to comply with the statute prohibiting tho making of denso smoke. I understand tho smoke from hard coal is worso even than tho smoke which comes from soft coal and it louks as though the manufacturers will have to move out of the city limits, it should be decided by the higher courts whether this section Is constitutional." In the case against Gerlty, Lawyer Griffith declared no complaints of the coal nuisance had been made In thd neighborhood where tho arrest was mado.

The yard of the railroad in Long City, he said, runs between Borden avenue and Newtown Creek, and "the odors emitted from tho latter are fouler than any engine ever- emitted." Dr. Oberwager and Officer Clancy told the court that when they asked Engineer Gerity his name in tho railroad yards on January 17, he told them he had none and wouldn't give it to them if he had. They also said he roundly abused them. The engineer then proceeded to pull out the throttle and make away toward the ferry. The health officials jumped aboard the moving locomotive and got a free ride.

H. BREWER Last Year Vestry Election Resulted In Court Action This Year, ia a "Boycott." (Special to The Eagle.) Roslyn, L. April 30 As a result of differences that have arisen over the recent annual election of vestrymen of the Trinity Episcopal Church, about twenty families have withdrawn from worship at the church. Thbse who are staying away are hostile to the rector, the Rev. Clifton H.

Brewer, whoso action In the last election was the cause of the boycott. The election ot vestrymen is held each year on Easter Monday. Two years ago two tickets sprang up in the field, one supported by the rector, the other opposed to his Interests. The latter was defeated in 1912, and its supporters took the matter to tho Supreme Court. They claimed that the rector had refused to allow some of the members ot the congregation to vote.

Tho rector was sustained by the Supremo Court and the Court of Appeals. Tho rector's theory was that those to whom ho had refused a vote were not contributors to the financial support of the church and were not regular attendants. In the last election the ticket adverse to the rector wa3 defeated agaiu, but this time. Instead of instituting legal proceedings, Its adherents organized the boycott. The attendance has fallen oft noticeably since Easter, and now the estimate is that twenty families have ceased taking part in the services.

The Rev. Mr. Brewer seems to treat the situation as a joke, claiming It will not materially affect the financial condition of the church. OBITUARY Edward H. Van Sise.
