NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912. TO PROTEST CLOSING OF DRAW Rockaway Residents Were Late at Hearing on Jamaica Bay Proposition.

PLAN TO ADOPT Colonel Roessler Will Probably Recommend Closing During Rush Hours Over L. I. R. R. Trestle.

the application of A public meeting on the Long Island Railroad Company for permission to have closed during the rush hours of the morning and evening the two draw bridges over Jamaica Bay, at Broad Channel and Beach Channel, the latter being close to the Rockaway Beach side of the bay, was to have been held yesterday afternoon, in the assembly hall of the new McKennee Building, Rockaway Beach. S. A. Roessler of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, to whom the War Department referred the appli- cation when it was first presented, early in the summer, and who has held one hearing on the matter, to his surprise found that there was no one present, cept Counselor T. McKennee, when he arrived to open the meeting.

Colonel Roessler was on hand promptly at 2 o'clock, the hour set for the hearing, and the Rockawayites did not put in an appearance until an hour after the scheduled time, and as a result the last opportunity those opposed to the draws being closed at stated intervals had to be beard, has been lost. It was the intention of Colonel Roessler to take up with the business men and yachtsmen of the Rockaway Peninsula yesterday a proposed schedule closing the draws, commencing at 7:25 o'clock in the morning to continue for 1 hour and 50 minutes, each closing to last for 20 minutes, with an interval of ten minutes, when the draw would be available to any craft that might be plying the bay. The plan, which, it is believed, Colonel Roessler will urge for adoption to the War Department, also calls for the closing in the evening from 4:40 o'clock to 7 o'clock, under the same arrangement as in the morning. Counselor McKennee, who was present yesterday, repregenting Charles Crabbe, a lumber dealer, again laid his client's objections to the closing of the draw bridges before Colonel Roessler: He said that the people of the Rockaways regard the move on the part of the railroad company as a plan to discourage shippers from using the bay for the bringing of commodities to that section. It has long been an open secret that, freight and express boats have cut business of the railroad to a large extent.

That competition, augmented by the auto expresses, has given the railroad people no little concern, and at a hearing the the Army Building, in Manhattan, several application, held by Colonel Roessler" in weeks ago, all of the speakers who were opposed to the company's scheme charged it with having more of a desire to ruin the freight traffic in Jamaica Bay than a purpose of facilitating its passenger traffic over the bay trestle from the Rockaways. It was pointed out at that hearing that the delays caused by the draws having to be swung to allow boats to pass occurred very seldom. In the opinion of Counselor McKennee, the absence yesterday of a legal representative of the railroad company indicates the adoption of the schedule Colonel Roessler brought along to submit to the meeting.

Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: I think the writer of the political notice from Suffolk County in The Eagle of tember 28, did me an injustice by his comments on my position with reference to putting the office of County Clerk on a salary basis.

Perhaps he did not read my letter of acceptance, published after I had been made the Progressive candidate for clerk. Allow me to quote from that letter the following, which I believe makes my position absolutely clear, even to the mind of the writer of sarcastic comment: "Mr. W. B. McDaniel, secretary National Progressive Party, Suffolk County: ceipt of yours of notifying "My dear Mr.

McDaniel am in reme officially that I have been nominated as a candidate by the new party for the office of County Clerk of our county. In acepting this nomination let me express through you, to the taxpayers, one or two points which I would like to make plain. "First-Let me say that this nomination came to me unsought. 1 was never more surprised than when I was informed that my name had been placed before the convention as a candidate. I have no ambition whatever to hold office from a political or a remunerative point of view.

I agree fully with the resolution passed in the convention pledging our party to use such means as we can to put the County Clerk's office on a salaried basis. It agrees exactly with what I have spoken of many times in public and in private. I contend that one of the greatest causes of the high cost of living is the high cost of government. I claim that every office in our county and town now of proportion with service mendered, on a fee basis, where the re revenue is out should be made a salaried office. These revenues should be an asset to our county and taxpayers.

Such a system was outlived years ago. If the people of our county see fit to honor me with this important office I want them to know exactly where I stand on this subject." What I then wrote I mean now, and if I shall be elected I shall not change A a my reasonable opinion. I salary. will be well satisfied with CRESTER O. KETCHAM.

She is a graduate of the New Paltz Normal School.

Several complaints have been made to the State Educational Department of the alleged inefficiency of teacher of the school maintained by the State and because of the apparent indifference of the department, the trustees of the tribe have made the above move. The new school is located in the little church, and the accommodations are about the same as of ordinary district school. There are thin pupils in the new school and five in the State school. Typewritten letters were served on the residents last week, threatening trouble for the parents who did not send their children to the State school, but no attention has been paid to them, as the children are receiving the educational training required by law.

October 5-In a most unexciting game, played across the table In the Waukegan clubrooms here yesterday, the Bay Shore baseball team won the cup offered by, J. J. Robinson, the Democratic candidate for Assemblyman, for the winner of second place. The Bay Shore team, the Patchogue team and the Amityville team were tied for second place, and the members of the board of directors of the league decided that any effort to play the game off would make the season last until snow flew. Consequently, the three teams representatives agreed to draw lots for the possession of the cup.

Bay Shore was the fortunate team. The action of the league awaits Mr. Robinson's approval. There was considerable discussion concerning the advertising being done for the game at Amityville this afternoon, between Amityville and Rockville Centre. The game is advertised as being for the championship of Long Island.

The directors decided to request The Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the Amityrille Record to publish a statement from the league that Amityville was not authorized by the South Side League to engage in any championship series. Amityville did not put in any defense. Manager Howard Rowland of the West Patchogue team, which won the championship of the South Side League, and The Eagle trophy, was angry about the matter. He claimed that the untrue advertising injured the prestige of his team on the island. A Although he claims that an injunction might be secured restraining the two teams for playing for the championship, no action of this kind is expected.

The finances of the league were fixed up and $40.83 returned to each team except Lindenhurst, which, by of a forfeit being paid from her $50 deposit money, recelved, only $15.83. Each team posted $50 to cover forfeits and expenses of the league during the season. COLD SPRING PASTOR LEAVES. Cold Spring Harbor, L.

He and two other farmers named Hammond and Randall cut their names and the date, 1873, on the turtle's shell with their pocketknives and then watched it crawl slowly away. Several days ago Davis was crossing the field a few rods from the spot where the long forgotten episode occurred, when he suddenly stumbled over something which he at first took to be a stone. He reached down and picked up a small turtle.

To his great astonishment he found that its back bore his own together with those of Hammond and Randall and the date, 1873. Davis, who now owns the farm on which the turtle has so long resided, is still trying to make up his mind whether it took the turtle thirty-nine years to travel from where he let it go to the spot where he just found it. SUFFRAGISTS SPLIT IN BABYLON TOWN May Be New Club Formed to Affiliate With State Organization. STUDY CLUB IS INACTIVE. New Faction Says Mrs.

Neville, the President, Is Too Old to Head Movement. (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. October 5-In the plans which have been on foot for a few days for the organization of a new suffrage society in Babylon a serious split in the present local suffrage organization seems to threaten. Several members of the present organization, the Woman's Suffrage Study Club, have been endeavoring to secure support in their effort to establish a new club, while other members are doing missionary work in an effort to prevent the organization of the new club. One of the objects of the new organization is said to be to "get rid" of Mrs.

Johanna Neville, the present head of the Study Club. Mrs. Neville is about 70 years old, but is very active for a woman of her age and has for several years been an advocate of the equal suffrage cause She lives in Lindenhurst, two miles from here. Miss Lillian Fishel, who the president of the recently organized Village Improvement Society, is one of the leaders of the new organization. According to Miss Fishel the Study Club has held no meetings since last spring and SO has little standing with the village people.

The new organization could start with a clean slate and could become affiliated with the State organization. If the club connected with the State organization, Miss Fishel thinks it could do much good. Those who are opposing Miss Fishel claim that the Study Club can become connected with the State if its members 80 wish, but that the club has almost unanimously decided against doing 80. That meetings were not held during the summer, they claim, is due to the fact that many members were unable to attend, but they say the club has planned to start work in October. They deny that the club has any "bad name" due to inactivity.

A meeting of the club will be held at the home of Mrs. Neville, Monday afternoon. At that time it is rumored, an effort will be made to carry a resolution antagonistic to the plans of the promoterg of the new club. In case the effort is made a stormy session is assured. STRUCK BY L.

I. R. R. TRAIN. Farmer Hoperg Seriously Injured and Two Horses Killed at Hicksville.

Hicksville, L. October 5-Henry Hoperg, a Plainview farmer, about 50 years of age, was struck by a Long Island Railroad express train at the salem avenue crossing, Hicksville, at 5:12 o'clock yesterday afternoon. His two horses were instantly killed. The wagon was torn to pieces and Hoperg was finally thrown upon the westbound track just east of the station. Several ribs were broken and he received a scalp wound and two cuts in one leg.

Dr. A. G. Rave attended the injured man, who was conveyed to his own home. There is a sign at the crossing and a bell, but it is said that Hoperg's horses became frightened at the noise of the bell and the approaching train, and although he attempted to stop them before reaching the tracks, his efforts were in vain.

The train, No. 648, in charge of Conductor Chris Hanford and Engineer R. Miller, was delayed fifteen minutes, and westbound trains took the eastbound tracks until the wreckage was cleared away. OFFICERS INSTALLED. Sayville, L.

Rushmore, Former President, Says Paper Has Been Ruthlessly Killed by New Head. Police aid had to be invoked yesterday by Joseph T.

Jones, who recently acquired a controlling interest in the Democrat Publishing Company, Jamaica, to eject three men who wished to attend as stockholders' proxies a meeting called by President Jones to pass upon a proposal to declare the corporation bankrupt and to take the benefit of the bankruptcy law. Things began to happen before (he meeting really got down to business. Jones, who took complete charge by ture of his 51 per cent. interest in the concern, requested the withdrawal of the three men present, who had been invited by Harry S. Rushmore, the former president, who sold Jones some of his interest.

The three were among the Democrat's largest creditors, and Rushmore offered to give them proxies for some of the stock he still retains in the company, or transfer stock to them. He said he wished the creditors to attend SO they, might see for themselves that he had sold a controlling interest in good faith, expecting the paper continued as he alleged had been agreed. Jones declined recognize the three men--one of shone was an attorney. When the intruders defied Jones to put Jones made a bee-line for the them Jamaica out, police station, He came back with Patrolman Patrick Gibbons and told him to do his duty. The three left without raising any further objections, and then the business of the meeting proceeded.

A stormy meeting followed. Jones, Elmer J. Ashmead, the corporation's attorney, and William Harris, who held a majority of stock, carried a motion to declare the company insolvent, as a preliminary to bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Rushmore said to a reporter afterwards that the paper was sold with the distinct agreement upon Mr.

Jones' part that the daily edition should be continued at least long enough to complete certain legal advertisements then running, but the proprietor of a rival paper telephoned to the lawyers that the Daily Democrat had been discontinued, and that they might readvertise in his paper. "The daily has been ruthlessly killed," said Mr. Rushmore, "and the weekly edition has not since appeared. It was the first suspension in over seventy-eight years.
