HARD TO BELIEVE; LINDENHURST IS DRY Military Authorities Swoop Down on Babylon Town. (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, June 22--Can you Imagine Lindenhurst without any beer? Well, it's as dry as a covered bridge, for yesterday four members of the Military Police, without any previous warning whatever, drove up to nine saloons in Lindenhurst. Deer Park, Pinelawn, West Babylon and Coplague and said to the proprietors: "Close up your doors; lock them. put the key in your pocket, and keep it there until further orders." Just like that. And that is why there is much wailing in all of the unincorporated part of Babylon town this morning, but the wailing is producing nothing that is said to cheer when the soul is sad.

The. edict went forth because two airplane squadrons are encamped on a part of the August Belmont estate here. So far the incorporated villages of Amityville and Babylon are the only oases in the desert of Babylon, yet it may be that the dry era is about to spread to them. Last night the Liquor Dealers Association of Amityville held a meeting and discussed the matter. What action was taken is not known.

COVER UP UNIFORMS TO QUENCH THIRST Exciting Chase of Two Soldiers in Riverhead. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. June 22-Two long-legged constables chasing a longlegged man clad in overalls and jumper and a slouch hat, caused considerable commotion in Riverhead last night. Nearly one hundred citizens took up the chase when the officers cried, "Stop him!" "Stop him!" and eventually the man was cornered. It turned out to be a case of attempted camouflage so that the overall-clad man could buy a drink.

He was Charles Currey from Camp Upton. Arriving in Riverhead with a companion--and both with a thirst, they admitted-each first bought a suit of overalls--one brown, the other striped. Then they started out to make a tour of the bars. The lynxeyed barkeeps penetrated the camouflage, and just' as the men were coming from one place the constables started to make arrests for covering up the U. S.

uniform. Currey made the fastest 220-yard dash ever seen in Riverhead, and added whole athletic program to that, for he did the hurdle, the broad jump and a few others, eluded 'his pursuers and nimbly hid himself away in a cellar, from which he was finally unearthed by Officers Prudent and Gobel and locked up. This morning officers at the camp came down for him. The man in the brown camouflage escaped entirely. TIDE TABLE FOR TOMORROW.

HYLAN WANTS CITY OWNERSHIP Objects to Initial Venture With Line That Is Not Paying a Profit. Residents of the Third Ward who use the New York and North Shore Traction Company trolley line went on record in favor of an increase in fare at a public hearing held by the transit committee of the Board of Estimate in the Flushing Town Hall last evening, Mayor John F. Hylan presided and the other members of the committee present were Controller Craig and Borough President Connolly of Queens, There were about five hundred men and women present and not one of them opposed the company's application to increase its fare. John Mor.

gan, general manager of the road, said that unless an increase of fare was granted there were two things for his company to do. One was to allow the city to purchase the line, the other was to give up the line and sell the equipment. Mayor Hylan said that he was in favor of municipal ownership but he did not think the city should take over a line that was not a paying tion. "When we get ready to take over the transit lines," said the Mayor, intend to take over a line that pays so that the people will be able to get some of the money that is now going into the' pockets of a few individuals." There was considerable talk of extending the company's lines from Prince street, Flushing, down Jackson avenue to the Alburtis avenue station of the L. When Attorney who represents the New York and Queens County line, was asked about this question, he said that his company was in just as bad condition financially as the New York and North Shore Company was.

President Stanley of the New York and North Shore Company said that if his company was granted an crease in fare it would allow school children to ride for a 5-cent fare. Mayor Hylan said that he would present the proposition of the increase in fare to the other members of the Board of Estimate and that he would also endeavor to have the New York and Queens County Company come to some agreement with the New York and North Shore Traction Company so that the latter company could run its cars over the tracks of the New York and Queens line to the terminus of the Corona at Alburtis avenue, Corona.

QUEENS MARRIAGE LICENSES. John Lehring, 22, of 163 Fresh Pond road, OBITUARY MRS. FREDERICKA TIEDEMANN, 88 years old, died on Wednesday at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Theodore Jedlicka, on Greene avenue, Sayville, L. where she lived for two years.

Mrs. Tiedemann was born near Hanover, Germany, and came to America sixty- four years ago. She made her home in New York City and took out her citizenship papers in 1872, an unusual thing for a woman to do at that time. Her husband died eighteen years ago. She leaves one daughter, Mrs.

Mathilda Sutton of Sayville, L. besides her granddaughter. There was a prayer at the Jedlicka home this morning by the Rev. A. H.

Meili, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, after which the remains were taken to the chapel at the Lutheran Cemetery, Middie Village, where funeral services were held, and burial followed in the Union Cemetery there, Political Paragraphs From Suffolk County Former County Judge Timothy Grifting of the Class of '64, Yale, attended the commencement exercises there this week, the same as he has been doing almost annually since his own graduation. It was a little shocking to some of the G. O. P.

leaders this week to learn that Mrs. Dorothy Nicoll Hubert, daughter of former Surrogate William G. Nicoll of Babylon, had enrolled as a Democrat. Her father is a staunch Republican, and was elected on that ticket. For generations before, ever since the Republican party was born, in fact, Mrs.

Hubert's family were leading Republicans. "And now think that the very first time she has opportunity to vote she has expressed an intention to affiliate with the Democrats," rather mournfully wails one Republican. Mrs. Hubert was one of the best known suffragists in the county, participating in many speaking tours. Who ever thought that Surrogate Strong and Editor Delano of Amityville could ever agree on one proposttion? Both of them are publicly fighting for the retention of mileage books on the Long Island Railroad.

It looks now as if the Republican organization in Suffolk would unite solidly on Judge Norman S. Dike of Brooklyn and Leander B. Faber of Jamaica for Supreme Court Justices next fall. Both of them are well known to the voters Suffolk and both seem to be popular. Shortly after he was defeated for the Supreme Court last fall Surrogate Strong of this county stated to some people that he expected to be a candidate this fall, The Eagle was told at the time, but whether he now still intends to seek a nomination is not known.

It has been definitely announced in Riverhead that former Postmaster Howard V. Lane will be the Republican candidate this year- for town superintendent of roads, opposing Charles O. Downs. Both of these men are popular and voters in the town are looking forward to a real political battle, full of unusual interest as all sharply contested local battles always are. Other towns are looking enviously at Islip, which from its public funds has purchased $1,000 worth of War Savings Stamps.

Most the towns FIND MISSING GIRL Cedarhurst, L. June 22-Marion Murphy, a pretty 15-year old school girl of 256 East Thirty-third street, Manhattan, reported as missing since May 21, was returned to her parents yesterday, in charge of Detective Albert Smith of the New York City police.

VON FOREGGER WINS SEPARATION Husband Wants Two Children All the Time or Not at All. NAVY OFFICER IS VINDICATED. Judge Says Evidence Shows Wife to Be, Woman of High Morals.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. June 22-In Supreme Court Justice Lewis L. Fawcett, in the Nassau County Court, yesterday granted a motion for separation to Dorothy Von Foregger, who charged cruelty against her husband, Richard Von Foregger of Roslyn, president of the Von Foregger Manufacturing Company of Manhattan. Mrs. Von Foregger received the custody of the two small children and $125 alimony monthly.

The hearing yesterday developed in the vindication of Henry A. Hollman of Sea Cliff, an ensign in the U. S. stationed at Bayport, who was named in Von Foregger's answer. The husband admitted on the stand that his wife was a good mother and dutiful wife.

Von Foregger, while he admits having been born in Austria, was a German by adoption, declared that he has been a naturalized American for a number of years and is loyal to this country. To a question from his lawyer as to whether he had ever praised Germany since the entrance of this country into the war, he said that he has felt as if he were standing between two chairs and ought to have some feeling for his mother country. Mrs. Von Foregger is a pretty young woman. He is a man of education, having a degree of Doctor of Psychology from Berne University.

He is engaged in manufacture of anesthetic instruments and his salary is $200 weekly, After the separation, Mrs. Von Foregger left Roslyn with the children and went to her mother's home in Mamaroneck. Justice Fawcett said that no evidence had been given to show other than that Mrs. Von Foregger is a woman of high morals and the proper custodian of the children. Lawyer James N.

Gehrif, appearing for the plantiff, explained to the court that it is his client's intention that her husband be allowed to visit the children week ends. To this Von Foreg. ger replied: "If I cannot have them all the time (it may seem cruel), I don't want to see them at all." HEDGES--CHESTER. Greenpoint, L. June 22-Miss Katherine R.

Edward Shalley of 68 Kingsland avenue, Corona, who was arrested in April, charged with the larceny of an automobile valued at $400 from Joseph Molloy of 135 Willow street, Corona, was discharged by Magistrate Thomas Doyle in the Flushing Police Court yesterday because Molloy refused to press the charge. EATING CORN SAVES WHEAT Bobby POST TOASTIES ARE MADE OF CORN never have a balance large enough to indulge in such a patriotic expenditure if they want to. Miss Weaver, the new county tuberculosis nurse, has commenced work in the town of Islip. This is the first I public intimation that the position had been filled, although it was generally understood that a public nurse was to be appointed at $1,200 per year. While assessors are this year putting on the assessment roll the church parsonages it is said that not many of them will be taxable because most of them will be assessed at not over $2,000 in value, and the churches are entitled to an exemption up to $2,000 in value on their parsonages.

The assessors hold that where the rectory stands on church property only the building itself is assessable; hence they hold that not many of the buildings alone have an assessable value above $2,000. Some of the fraternal organizations, however, been escaping taxation will have to pay taxes this year through a recent ruling of the State Tax Commission. Speaking of the assessment of property for taxation purposes the esting statement was made to The Eagle this week that although a mertaxed on goods he has on his shelves, and an industrial plant, even to a printing office, is taxed for its -these things are listed as personal property--a farmer is not taxed for his farm machinery, wagons or crops that he has to sell. No assessment is placed on these things. The particular assessor being viewed said he didn't believe farm machinery, no, not even horses, were assessed anywhere in the State, but he believed that if an assessor went strictly according to law such things should be assessed as personal property and a tax exacted.

"Why don't you do it?" he was asked. "Raise too much of a howl," was the brief reply. It is known that many farmers have machinery valued at more than $10,000, and it seems to thus remain that if the owner of an industrial plant puts profits back into his busi-, ness in the purchase of machinery he has an increased assessment levied: but if the farmer puts back profits in the purchase of farm machinery, so he can reduce expenses in producing crops, the machinery is not taxed." The Riverhead Town Board has formally adopted a curfew ordinance, demanding that every child, under 16 years guardian, old, not be off accompanied the street by parent out or or of public places by 10 p.m. So far it is said that no violations have been reported. It is a surprise to many to learn that Justice and Editor James B.

Cooper of Babylon is against incorporation. He mentions this in commenting on the fact that Sayville is making a big effort to incorporate and govern itself. Mr. Cooper admits having voted against incorporation in 1893, and voted twice in favor of disincorporating Babylon, The Southampton Press favors Supervisor John Clinton Robbins' suggestion that the board meetings at Riverhead should be held in the daytime. It is reported that there will probably be a meeting of the executive committee of the Republican County Committee in Riverhead next week to talk over the matter of a candidate for the County Clerk nomination.

Reports from the western part of the county have reached the leaedrs this week that many in that section favor the nomination of Charles V. Platt of Port Jefferson. Some think now that the executive committee may decide to get solidly behind him. Robert S. Pelletreau of Patchogue is sending out this week a letter announcing that he is a candidate for the County Judge nomination on the Republican ticket, and asking support of voters at the primary.

"I do I not expect to be the only candidate," he says in the letter. "Others have equal rights to enter this contest. If fail to be nominated I shall support my successful adversary and party ticket to the limit of my strength." Mr. Pelletreau also appends this significant statement: "Should I be nominated and elected I shall take no litigated matters in any court, and shall neither retain nor accept any other public office or appointment to the end that I be free to perform the duties of County Judge unhampered and uninfluenced by any other obligation or interest." This is interpreted to mean that Mr. Pelletreau will immediately resign as counsel of the Board of Supervisors and would not practice law in court while County Judge.

With the beginning of a new term the County Judge in Suffolk will receive $3,500 per year. Other county judges have received $2,000 and have continued their practice in courts higher than the County Court. "Birds of a Feather 1 PALL ORIGINAL PALL MALL FAMOUS CIGARETTES A.
