It was the day set aside for the athletic contests of running races and field sports, and the sturdy athletes came up from the west side camp in per-fetc condition from their weeks of camp life, prepared to run away with most of the medals and prizes offered by the committee.

There was no doubt of the outcome, from the time Everett Jessup, the speedy Princeton sprinter, broke the tape in the luu-yard dash in 10 3-5 until lime i Charlie Du Bnls came home first in the Frank F. Darling, Treasurer of Old Homo Week Committee. midget relay race, winning by a neck from the Port Jefferson youngsters. It was a notable aggreagtion of athletes that represented Dr. Pettlt's camp, for besides Jessup there-were Eddie Sutler, Cornell's famous quarterback; Jim Ri Illy of Yale, J.

Doblin of Adelphl, May, a Yale man; John Rellly of Andover, and many other collegiate and lnterscholas-tlc stars. Opposed to them were several athletes who are at Mount Sinai for the summer, and some of the best that Port Jefferson could produce. Dr. Pettit in Personal Charge of the Sporting Events. Dr.

Pettit himself was chairman of the committee in charge of the contests and took personal charge. When he flred the gun to start the 100-yard dash there was an immense crowd lining Water street, and it took the beet efforts of the thirty special deputy sheriffs to keep the course cleared so that the races could be run. Eddie Butler acted as Judge of most of the events, and Elmer Smith held the stopwatch. Dr. H.

J. Fenn was the official scorer. In the morning the five-mile race was SCHOOL BOARD UPHOLDS 'El But Discharged Janitor and the Others Will, They Say, Co to Men Higher Up. FREEPORT PEOPLE DIVIDED. Superintendent Guilty Merely of an Indiscretion, Board Says His Services to Be Retained.

(Special to The Eagle.) nvo.nnrt AuKUBt 9 The Board of Education at a meeting behind closed doors, which lasted until nearly 2:30 this morning, decided to retain Professor Arthur E. Barnes as superintendent of the public school system of the village. The trustees agreed that rumors which have been widely circulated, linking the name ol Professor Barnes with that of a woman teacher In the Pine street school, were wholly unfounded. The meeting last night was the second which the board has given over to a discussion and investigation of rumors. On Monday night Professor Barnes was before the trustees and again declared bim-eelt innocent of the charges made through rumors.

At the close of the meeting early this morning the trustees pledged themselves to support the superintendent. He will continue to govern the affairs of the school district, at least through the next term, ae far as is now known. There is considerable talk In the village this morning concerning the action of the school authorities and the statement has been made that numbers of school children will not be allowed to return to school this fall it Professor Barnes Is continued in office. The matter probably will be taken to the State educational authorities before the affair Is ended. John Lewis, who was discharged as janitor recently, stated yesterday that he would carry his case before the State board.

The school trustees last night reached a decision after hearing all the evidence at hand, exoept the testimony of the young woman whose name was mentioned. The trustees believe that the rumors are grossly exaggerated and are an Injustice to the superintendent. President Samuel R. Smith stated to an Eagle reporter that it had been proved that Professor Barnes was guilty of an indiscretion, but that it was not believed sufficient to warrant his removal. PREACHERS ALL OUT OF TOWN Not One Protestant I3 Left in Flushing to Bury or Marry People.

It became known yesterday that a Flushing undertaker was obliged to get an out of town minister to officiate at a funeral, because all of the Flushing clergy were on their vacations. Union services are held every Sunday morning and evening, with ministers from out of town officiating. The particular minister desired was thhe Rev. Raymond L. Forman, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church who Is at Bethlehem, N.

H. It was discovered that the Rev. Thomas Mackenzie, pastor of the Reformed Church, is In Salem, the Rev. A. M.

Currle, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in Toronto, Canada; the Rev. George Eccles, of St. John's Episcopal Church, Murray Hill, 1b in Europe; th3 Rev. H. D.

Waller, of St. George's Episcopal Church, is at Southhampton, L. the Rev. George Douglass, pastor of the First Baptist Church, is at the Atlantic Highlands, N. the Rev.

George Drew Egbert, pastor of the First Congregational Church is at Cornwall, N. Y. the Rev. R. A.

Hamilton, pastor of the Broadway Congregational Church, is at Lone Hill, West Virgiaia, and the Rev. J. H. Eaob, of the First Unitarian Church, in, Gilbertsvllle, N. Y.

With all these ministers out of town there is nobobdy of their faith to officiate at either a wedding or funeral service. It has been suggested that hereafter during the summer the Flushing ministers divide up the season, half taking July and the other half taking August. This will leave some of the clergymen in town all the time. WILL SUE FOR $50,000 F. T.

With the filing of these papers It was learned that the widow, as administratrix, Intends to sue the New York and North Shore Traction Company for for the loss of her husband's life, and it was for this purpose that the application was made.

GIVES HIS OJUO NEW JAIL Prison Commissioner McNamee 0 Says Suffolk's Prison Is the Equal of Any in State. Riverhead, L.

August 9 John McNamee, one of the members of the prison commission, sent an official report of an inspection of the new jail here to the supervisors yesterday. "It is a modern jail In every respect, with the most complete equipment of any Jail in the Btate," says the report in part; "and it is a credit to the county and especially to the Board of Supervisors and the building committee." The report also says that the total expenditure for the plant including as it does a water plant, electric light plant, is about $209,000, but this is wrong. The contract price was $209,000 and added to this were $5,000 extras on the jail proper; the fees of the architect amounting to over the charges of the committee In looking after the construction, the cost for sale of bonds, and a lot of minor expenses, according to an interview with Mr. Rog-eis of the committee. However, it is conceded the county has its money's worth for the amount of building done.

The only adverse criticism In the report is this: "The inside Is finished with enamel bricks throughout, although not of as good quality as called for In the contract, though attention was called to this matter by report of December 31 last." Mr. Rogers of the committee takes Issue with the commissioner on this. He says the bricks are of as good quality and the fact that led the commissioner to make this criticism was that he saw some of the bricks in the yard that had become chipped from handling.

HARKED BACK TO HIS YOUTH. Judge Lenient With Young Men Who Saw Ball Game Free.

An attempt to create class distinctions at Douglas Manor, the aristocratic resort on Long Island's north shore, where many artlBts, sculptors, writers and professional men make their home, has well-nigh split the manor In twain.

On the one side is aligned an organization of women, of which Mrs. William Schuette is president, and Mrs. M. L. Newman, vice president, and on the other the Douglas Manor Association, which controls the manor.

It seems that tht women, according to the story told at the manor today, drew a eocal line, and insisted that only a select few Bhould be admitted to the privileges of the manor. They retained the keys to the clubhouse recently built on the shores of Little Neck Bay. There are about thirty-five members in the woman's organization, and they are all tho wives of well-to-do citizens. The attitude of the women resulted In a meeting of the board of directors of the Douglas Manor Association last night, and those In a position to know say that the meeting was a "red-hot" affair. It lasted until early in the morning.

It was agreed to call in all the keyB to the clubhouse and distribute them Impartially among the association's members without any distinction being made. The women are yet to be heard from. LONG ISLAND OBITUARY. George Penny. Smlthtown Branch, L.

SOUTHAMPTON HOTEL IS MENACED BY FIRE Laundry in Rear of The Irving Burns Guests Much Alarmed. LEAVE HOSTELRY IN A HURRY. Gather on Lawn in All Sorts of Negligee Firemen Keep Blaze From Reaching Hotel. (Special to The Eagle.) Southampton, L.

August 9 A fire which broke out late last night in a laundry building In the rear of the Hotel Irving, owned by Irving L. Terry, threatened for nearly half an hour to envelop the hotel Itself, and almost caused a plnic among the sixty gpests, many of whom were in bed at the time. Only the fact that the usual southwest wind waB not blowing, and the quick work of the Are department, saved the hotel from being burned, for the fire had made considerable headway before an alarm was turned In. Tho origin of the Are is not known. The burned building is a two-story structure about 15 feet In the rear of the hotel, with two sleeping rooms upstairs and a large laundry room below.

Three of the servants slept upstairs, one of whom, John McCullough, was in the laundry when the fire was discovered, but cannot' account for the blaze. He and the other two, George Crowson, a head waiter, and Axil Moran, a gardener, lost all belonging to them except what they wore at the time. A considerable quantity of the guests' laundry was in the building, too, but Mr. Terry said it would be Impossible to estimate the loss from that source this morning. The damage to the building itself is about $500.

McCullough says he was downstairs when the fire broke out, and only discovered It when he returned about 10:30 o'clock and found his room in flames. By that time the servants in the building in the back of the laundry saw the fire, which had already licked up the entire roof, and a passing chauffeur notified the policeman on the beat, David Reeves, who turned In the alarm. Within ten minutes after the fire department arrived the fire was under control, but it had already run for fully an hour, and to save the laundry building was hopeless. Although the fire of Itself was not a large one, considerable excitement was caused among the hotel guests, who scampered out on the lawn in all kinds of attire, thinking the hotel was doomed. BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN.

Noise of Trolley Cars Deafening, They Say Rails Too Light. Flushing business men are complaining of the noise caused by the cars of the New York and Queens Railway Company along Main street, and are contemplating the circulation of a petition asking for the abatement of the nuisance. The cause of the noise, It Is said, may be laid to the condition of the rails now in use. The ordinary life of a steel rail Is twenty years. The rails now in use were laid about fifteen years ago.

At that time, however, only the light, one-truck cars, now used on the Jamaica line were run. When the heavy thirty-two ton cars now commonly used were put In commission the tracks were not changed and therefore the noise now complained of results. MARINE CLUB'S OUTING. The annual outing of the Long Island Railroad Marine Club will be held at the Port Washington Grove on Friday, August U.

GROWN AT RIVERHEAD. SSI they assumed. This year he planted some more of them, and Ui length they jtt eclipsing last year's product. He says they are known as the yard bean, and if some of those still on the vines hold on for a few days longer he confidently believes they will measure 36 IneheB. The beans are as delicious as they are long, either used as snap beans or dried.

Because they grow so rapidly they are unusually tender as green beans, and they have a flavor all their own, too. When ripe and dried the pods have been known to have about forty beans apiece in them. This at 24 inches In length. He thinks that if some artist in agricultural pursuits should take hold of them and develop them scientifically it might be possible to make each pod contain a pint of beans. It will be noticed that In the photograph these beans lie crooked on their background; hence they do not look to be much longer than the 24-lneh rule placed between them, but straightened out their correct length Is as given above.

Mr. Rogers' crop sensational length beans is attracting great Interest among local some of whom are considering the advisability of going into the husincsa of raisiug brans that may be sold by the yard. Yesterday Was Reunion Day SUCCEEDS FATHER AS P. M. William W.

WILL MANDAMUS BOARD. Sheide Retains Brooklyn Lawyer in Proceeding Against Supervisors; Riverhead, L. August 9 Several of the members of the Suffolk supervisors expressed themselves as being greatly disappointed that Chairman Sheide of the Democratic County Committee dldu't serve them with mandamus papers at the session Monday night, in the election commissioner fight that he is going to take to the courts. The members say they are ready for the fray and really eager for a fight. Mr.

Sheide was not in Riverhead; neither did he send any papers to be served. From another source, however, it Is learned that Mr. Sheide has retained Lawyer Rutherford B. Kathan of Brooklyn and that he is preparing the proper papers for the Buit. 'nst the nature of the suit has not been Btated, but it Is still understood that he will seek to mandamus the board and try to compel It to revoke the appointment of Lewis W.

Korn of Southold and have John Mc-Brlen of Huntington substituted, on the ground that the latter was the first choice for appointment first choice of the county chairman himself and of a majority of the committee.

Rogers is one of Riverhead's merchants and is an amateur gardener, but his friends think he should be a professional In the employ of the Government and In charge of one of the big agricultural stations. Yesterday he brought into The Eagle branch here a sample of snap beans that he is growing. One of them measured 26 Inches "from tip to tip," and the other 25. He's got a lot more Just as long and they're still growing. These two fell off, so he brought them around for exhibition purposes.

Some of the beans on the poles and the ones brought to The Eagle branch grew at the rate of an Inch a day. Three days ago he measured the bean that Is 26 Inches long and it measured exactly 24 inches. The day he measured it again and it was 25, and the next day, tfter it had fallen? off. It was 26.
