Editor The Ilrookh IMih I (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. I November 9 'Two-dollar potatoes" and "sky-high The police of the Jamaica precinct are looking for a negro who on election night at about 9 o'clock forced his way into the home of Thor Bahrman, a Jamaica precinct patrolman, In Pleasant avenue, neat Merrick road, Jamaica.

Two children of the policeman, Mabel, 14 years old, and Carl, aged 17, put the intruder to flight. The negro, whose object apparently was to steal the Bahrman valuables, ran off without securing any property. The negro questioned Mabel, who was alone at home at the time. When the man found out that she was the only member of the family there he pushed her aside at the front door and entered. The girl followed him and fought with him valiantly until tho arrival of her brother, who soon put the negro to flight.

During her struggle with the negro Mabel threw dishes, pots and pans, and she believes he was badly cut by some of the broken dishes. The black man had the girl by the throat when her brother Carl arrived. The boy struck the negro on the head with the hammer to make him release his hold. After their experience Carl and Mabel were so unnerved that they were compelled to remain at horn yesterday. They are students at the Jamaica High School.

(Special to The KuBle.) BIVrhead, L. November The tie vote for the office of highway superintendent in Riverhead is sfill a sensational topic of politics here, and the Democrats are determined to have a recount of the ballots in an effort to have Charles O. Downs declared elected town superintendent of highways over Prank II. Wells. This morning they served on the town board, which formally started to canvass the vote, an Injunction preventing the Issuance of a certificate until a further judicial determination concerning the voted ballots, li js believed now that the ballot boxes will be reopened and certain disputed ballots recounted.

Percy L. has been li tamed bv the Democrats. It is also said this morning that if the ballots are recounted possibly the forty-eight plurality for B. Frank Howell, Republican supervisor-elect, may be wiped out, for it is claimed there are many ballots containing irregularities that were counted us good for the Republicans. It is also said that the town board cannot appoint a successor to Town William A.

Brown, and if a tie eventually results he will continue to be the superintendent for two years more. His term of ollice was supposed to expire last night. This situation is all the more interesting in view of the fact that Brown, who was refused a renomination by the Republicans, is charged with working for the election of Downs- and he hasn't denied it may eventually get an of- (Special f.o The Eagle.)

All morning, afternoon and evening a large crowd gathered before The Eagle bulletin board on Mott avenue, Far Rockaway, and eagerly read the returns. PARIS FASHIONS VP TO DATE. From Th. Eagle Paris Bureau, 53 Rue Cambon, through the courtesy of Abraham Straus. Parting with precious heritage of the people at a mere fraction ol its value comes with little grace, to say the least, from the township of Oyster Bay.

Must the beauty spots of Long Island be retained by the wealthy alone? Cannot the "common people," the laborer in the Great City, drive his "tin Lizzie" to some ocean park? Why must the finest of views and the most salubrious of breezes be reserved for the few? Granted that the wonderful south side estate of Bourne at Sayvllle, Van-derbilt at Oakdale, those on the Sound of Schiff, Tiffany and Jones, or In the center of Whitney, Morgan, Phlpps, Winthrop, Hudson, Mills, Yokum and Lantlenburgn are part of the beauty spots. But they might as well be a thousand miles away for all the traveler sees behind their thick hedges or high walls. And now, about to be sold for another estate at the ridiculous price of $10 an acre, Jones Beach, off Amlty-ville, will be lost to the public unless something is done at once to save it for them. Lost forever this strip of ocean front nearer to New York by many miles than any other unreserved An atlas of 1873 shows that sandy stretch of Coney Island with less than a score of buildings, and these reached by a single track railway and two toll roads. Today it is completely appropriated except for a little park bought by the city at a great price.

The Rockaways show a few houses and a nondescript collection of bath houses. Only a decade ago Long Beach, now wonderfully buiit up with expensive homes which only the well-to-do can occupy, hotels which only the well-to-do may patronize, was a stretch of beautiful beach of white sand with an old wooden hotel and a few scattered houses. Must Long Island lose her marvelous natural parking grounds? Or will she bestir herself and build parks like the South Mountain Reservation of Essex County, New Jersey? Why can she not, with a population fast approaching 2,500,000 people, lovers of the out-of-doors, possess something like the Interstate Boulevard and Bear Mountain Park on the Hudson River? Now is the time to save this one island for the people, the people who would benefit so greatly by it. Let him who saved the national forests and the water powers of the West turn to his own township of Oyster Bay and save for his fellow residents a park both ocean front and inland. "A prophet," we are told, "is not without honor save in his own country." Why cannot the township of Oyster Bay make a beginning of a great Roosevelt Reservation reaching from the ocean to the sound? Not a park of closely cropped lawns, rustic seats and granite monuments, but a park where nature will be aided by man, where there will be trees and groves and water.

Today the land is cheap; tomorrow it will not be. R. T. CHILDS. 47 West Thirty-fourth street, Manhattan, November 8, 1916.

He Is minister of the Sound Avenue Congregational i nureh, a church that Is located right in tho heart of the best potato-growing district on Long Island. The pastor has driven a slow-going faithful old horse for years about the big confines of his rural i.arish and down to Riverhead village. Although early riser, he was almost gotten 'lit of bed the other duv hv an auto mobile dealer excitedly ringing his doorbell. "I understand you are about to purchase a car."

And he politely dismissed the dealer. But the dust had not settled around the curve in the road when another dealer was pulling the doorbell. Same dialogue, in effect, is again enacted. And it was repeated several times ilur- ng tne day. Tne dealers came so near to wearing out the pastor's doorbell and patience that he thought It time to investigate to learn who was put- Then, greatly to his surplse and this time it was a real surprise the pastor learned that a few of the warmhearted farmers in his congregation had chipped in $1,070 for the purchase of an automobile for him and wanted him to pick out the kind he wanted.

They didn't think it worth while to tell the pastor anything about their aims until the fund had been pledged. LONG ISLANDERS EXHIBITORS. Several Win Prizes at Fair of Ameri can Institute.

There was an exciting time today In the office of William F. Bebell, a real estate operator on North Washington street, Jamaica, when Deputy Sheriff Walter Stuart, accompanied by John Hetherington, a lnwyer, called vflth a body attachment signed by Justice Kelly of the Supreme Court for the arrest of Bebell's son, John. It seems that several years ago the son whs divorced by his wife, and ordered by the court to pay her alimony in weekly amounts.

The younger Bebell failed to comply with the order and Mr. Hetherington, his wife's lawyer, secured an order from Justice Kelly, adjudging him In contempt with a commitment for his rtrrest. The young man was in the office when Stuart and Hetherington entered with the body execution. His father, apparently, divined their purpose as soon as they entered. Before Stuart COUld reach the son he escaped through Five minutes later the telephone rang.

Both Stuart and Bebell tried to got hold of the receiver first. Hetherington, Bebell charges, tried to aid Stuart. There was a scuffle. In which Bebell was knocked down. He claims that he was dragged to the street by the deputy cheriff and the lawyer.

He also claims that he was Injured and in support of this claim, when he was arraigned In the Jamaica Police Qourt on the I'litii'sp of interfering with an olllcer, which was preferred by Stuart and tin assault charge made by Heth-eriiiKton, he exhibited a bleeding left "Bebell us held In 1.000 ball on charge of Interfering with an officer and ball was fixed In a similar amount on an assnult charge preferred by Hetherington.

Since that time, at each county election, he has been reelected, and the Democratic leaders decided this year to nominate him, after there was an insistent demand by the members of that party.

LONG ISLAND CITY. Long Island City received its name In a unique manner. Before May 4, 1870, the date upon which the Legislature's bill uniting the villages of Astoria, Ravens-wood, Hunter's Point, Dutch Kills and Stclnway in one city was signed by Governor John T. Hoffman, this section was part of the Town of Newtown. The name, however, originated in 1853.

Captain Levy Hayden, then superintendent of the Marine Railway, located in Hunter's Point, was asked by a stockholder In the company what name should be given the surrounding country in which the new concern was to operate. The Captain replied that eventually the small villages would be united in one large city, and suggested the name "Long Island A large flag bearing that name was then hoisted from the office of the company. In 1865, Thomas H. Todd, founder of the Star, started business in Hunter's I'oint. The name of Long Island City appealed to him, and on October 20, 1865, five years before Long Island City came into existence, he issued the Long Island City Star.

By the time the locality was voted a municipality by the Legislature, the name had become so well known that it was accepted without question. Buyers Demand More For Their Money "Formerly beauty, comfort and mechanical efficiency were all the elements necessary to sell automobiles," says Arthur W. Delaney, Brooklyn agent for the Kissel Kar. "Now buyers not only demand good looks, ease and freedom from trouble, but want that which Is different from their neighbors something distinctive. More than ever before, the manufactured car is in favor as opposed to the assembled car, because people know that the characteristics of the former are exclusive.

"This Is true of the working units of the car, but it Is even more so of the body design and appointments. 1 attribute the great popularity of the All-Year car largely to its Individuality -to line and contour that are found in no other type of convertible. It is built by Kissel for KisselKars alone and that point counts with thousands of people."

OUT ON LONG ISLAND Will Tremedden, at Bridgehampton, L. I or Shadow Lawn, at Long Branch, N. be the summer White House in 1917? Long Island is in line for the honor and eagerly awaits the decision of Tuesday's battle of the ballots. Senator Thompson of Kings Park has shattered a tradition by securing a re-election. He has accomplished what no representative of the First District has done since the beginning of the seventy-first session of the Senate.

Democrats and Republicans alike have hitherto failed to get a second term. He may be pardone 1 for feeling proud of his return ticket, the gift of the people. Getting election returns by search-l light is a novel experience for Long Island people, but they lHce it. The far-reaching beams of the Sperry light gave early news of Tuesday's election to thousands of Long Island-i ers long before the wires told the 1 story. Telephone and telegraph are quick, but the Sperry light is quicker.
