SAYVILLE, Aug.

excitement prevailed In this village yesterday afternoon In Justice Ellnworth Crnm'a court when William Kudolph, a wealthy and Dromlnertt Blue Point oyater shipper, admitted dredrlnc aeed ovfiters from the nrl- vate oyster ueda of Capt. Jacob Ockere. of uakdaie, ana wan nned witn an aan-tlonal 125 for ooets of court, and 16 for the oyaters. For some weeks, Capt. Ockers, who is the largest Blue Point oyster shipper In the world, has been suspicious that some one was stealing his seed oysters from his grounds, but he was never able to catch anyone In the act or with the seed in his possession.

But plans were made to effect a capture. The grounds of Mr. Ockers adjoin those of William Rudolph and Westerbeke Brothers and buoys mark the boundaries. Accordingly ranges were made wlth objects on the shore and a sharp lookout was kept. On Friday last an oyster steamer was seen on the grounds and Frederick Ockers, a brother of the oyster shipper, accompanied by Jacobus Quake, went out In a motor boat that had been secretly repainted and dlxgulsed as a yacht.

A coure toward Water Island was made and when In the rear of the steamer, the motor boat Hwooped down and the occupants claim they saw Shipper Rudolph and his crew catching seed oysters from Jacob Ockers' grounds. Jacob Ockers himself was on his way home from the St. Louis Exposition, and as soon as he arrived he ordered the arrest of Mr. Rudolph and secured Timothy M. Grlfflng to prosecute him.

Rudolph secured the services of Ralph C. Greene, of Say-vllle. to act for him. When the case came up for trial yesterday afteirntfon -Counselor Greene advised his client to plead guilty to the charge of "disturbing oysters of another planter." under thp fish and game law. Rudolph did so and the fine was Imposed and paid.

Oyster Shipper Rudolph says that ne nao no intention to steal oyster seed and adds that lie was undoubtedly mistaken about the boundary lines. He says he was merely Inspecting the growth of the oysters when the launch swooped down upon him and that he did not know that he was on any other but his own grounds. The case has caused the greatest sensation imaginable here, as both parties are men of prominence and wealth. FEEEPORX BOARD OF TRADE. Looking After Hatters of Interest to Village.

An Address by Alexander Livingston; in Which He Reviewed the Situation at Corona, and Told How-to Secure Much-Needed Improvements. CORONA, Aug.

11. The largest meeting of the Junction Avenue Property Owners' Association since Its organization was held last evening In the large meeting hall of Olasser's Hotel, Main street and Junction avenue. President W. J. Cahlll presided, with A.

II. licumond recording. Tne guest of the evening was Alexander Livingston, President of the Twenty-seventh District Taxpayers' Association. The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting, also copies of communications he had forwarded to the Newtown Gas Comnanv. the Newtown Local Board of Public Improvements, the B.

R. T. Com pany ana others. Five applications were receiver! for mcm-bershln ajt follows: GeorKe L. (ilasscr and Otto Mulk-r, Maple street; Louis Llchter, Albert Llpps and Stephen Miller, of Tulip street.

Mr. Mlttenzwcl again spoke about tne laying of an independent sewer, provided the authorities will permit same. He said that the pipe would cost about fifteen cents for every foot laid. Mr. Mltlenzwel's plan Is for the pipe to empty Into the creek in the meadows south of Corona.

Ho said that many residents were running their wash and sink water out Into the street, and if the authorities permitted that state of affairs to exist, they should he favorable toward the laying of an independent sewer. Main street, from Irving place to Junction avenue, between the tracks of the New Vork and Queens County Railroad, needs repair-and, and' the trolley company will be notllied rortnwttn. There was much discussion about the dc-plora'nle condition of Railroad avenue in the neighborhood of Junction avenue. The authorities have said that to repair the road as it should be would entail great expense, and that the work would be too much for them. President Cahlll Introduced Mr.

Livingston who spoke on the needs of Corona. "One of the greatest needs In a community such as this, he said, "is an organization of this kind. It has its social element by bringing people together. We desire the acquaintance of one another. By coming together and expressing our Ideas we gain knowledge.

It Is due to Ignorance that the authorities treat us as they do. Those In power realize that organizations of this kind are becoming a great power, and they listen to you. An organized body will be treated differently from an individual, and they can accomplish a great deal. And I say let It be non-political. Your home should be the tirst consideration.

We cannot have loo many organizations of this kind. With those In power we should he courteous and firm in our demands. "We need a great many things here in Corona- Probably the greatest need is the official map. I understand that the topographical Bureau Is now at work in the village. Then there Is free postal service.

It Is a hindrance to a community not to have free mail delivery. Other organizations in this village have about completed the undertaking of numbering houses, in order to be ready for this service. With Corona on the official map. many improvements are needed, such as gas and water in all the streets, sewers, sidewalks and streets opened and improved. The North Corona section suffers for the want of sidewalks more than any other part of the village.

"One of the difficulties of organizations of this kind is that all the members do not work together, They put the work on the shoulders of a few. We must all stand together, and then we will accomplish something. Another need is a central body for the ward. Matters of Interest to the ward should come up before an organization of this Kind. "All ore-anfzatinns such as this one should make it their purpose to taae up some subject that would be of Interest to the community, such as police matters, sewerage, the gas lump question, etc.

Have a speaker to address you that thoroughly understands such questions of Importance, and the result would ho eratifvlnir. Another thing, every organization of this kind should have copies of franchises of the water, gas. railroad and trolley companies operating in their com munity. "Another great need for Corona Is an evening school. There are many who are at work all day.

who would bo glad of an op portunity to gain an education. Another great need Is more police protection at night. I might say In this respect that Corona's protection is Its poverty." Refore adlournlng by-laws were read and adopted by the association. Mr. Fleblg and Chairman t.anill mane a strong appeal the members for them to interest their neighbors In Joining the association.

About the Blackwell's Island Bridge and Go Over Ground Together. DISCUSS THE APPROACHES. Chief Engineer Nichols Thlnki Ending of the Bridge in Front of Railroad Yard's, as Now Planned, Would Be Very Unsatisfactory. LONG ISLAND CITY, Aug. hi the main court room In the Queens County Court House, at Long Island City, yesterday afternoon, members of the Committee of Forty and Chief Engineer O.

F. Nichols and Consulting Engineer Buck, of the Department of Bridges, went over the plans of the Blackwell's Island Bridge, and discussed freely the different features of that great enterprise. The conference seemed to beneficial In more ways than one, for It brought the members of the committee and engineers close together and there now ex ists a better understanding on certain points. Engineer Nichols talked with perfect free dom and showed by his banner that the department had nothing to conceal and was very anxious to meeet the view of the people to be benefited' by the bridge. During the discussion It develnned that former Brldire 'Commissioner Llndenthal had confined his remarkable process for cutting down the width of the bridge to that portion spanning the river, and Bl-ackwell's Island.

He did not touch the approaches at each end and consequently they remain at the old width 120 feet, while the bridge structure proper cannot be made wider than 86 feet. Commissioner Lindenthal's Instructions from the Committee of Expert Engineers appointed by Mayor Lkw were to make the bridge 90 feet in width, but he did not do so. The letting of the contract for the steel work of the bridge prevents the present administration from going back to the original width. The department can build the approaches -tne run wiatn or izu reet, Dut mat wouia detract from the general appearance of the structure, so It is probable trtat tney win be made to conform to the other plans. Engineer Nichols announced to the committee that the contract let by Commissioner Llndenthal on th eve of his departure from Office, and which called for the construction of elevator shafts alongside of the piers on the Island, as well as those on each shore, had been considerably modified.

An arrangement had been made whereby the Williams Engineering and Contracting Company, holders of the contract, had consented to waive any right to build the towers on the island and would simply erect those on the land end and do Borne worn aoout tne tops of the towers. The original contract price was $700,000, and it has been cut down to about J300.000. The contract was for the stone towers alone. The elevators would have cost an additional JHOO.OOO. The scheme of these elevators was gotten tip iiy Commissioner Llndenthal, end the towers so planned that they would prevent the bridge being widened again to 130 feet.

Some modifications have also been made In the contract with the Pennsylvania Steel Com pany, who are turning out the woi-k for the bridge. It was storming hard when Engineers Nichols and Buck got oft a trolley car In front of the Court House. Tney were accompanied bv Foster Crrtwell. of Flushing. and Ellas T.

Bragaw, who Is Chairman of the committee of orty, ana t-cier iein inger. Treasurer of the committee, ana some' other members. The rain made it impossible to follow out the original plan of rflolng over the ground, and it waa decided to discuss the bridge plans In the court room. Mr. Buck had the plans and thev were SDread out on a long table, and those present gathered around It.

Engineer Nichols occupied a chair near the head of the table and ne asitea ano answereu questions with pleasing frankness. Several memhers of the committee went over the much discussed subject of north and south approaches to the main approach in Long island uity. it wna stated that thev could approach the bridge on different streets, and that would nrevent a congestion of vehicles on the f.rlriirA floor. Mr. Nlreiols said that the ap.

proaches did not involve an engineering problem, but that It was a question whether they were imui'tti nm. irunc fco anvirpRilnn to have an approach under the bridge from Vernon avenue and swinging It out on each side of the driveway so that the teams would turn In, and stated that it would be beat to have the approaches on the same street so to cumiue me um-age to property to one street, and In tim' that street known as the bridge approach. John Andrews, of the committee, said that the south approach, especially would solve the problem of interborough communlrn-im Htwen Brooklyn. Queens an't Man hattan and The Bronx, as cars could cross the new viaduct bridge over Newtown creek and run up to the south approach nfid cross the Blackwell's Island Bridge and so on to The Bronx. That was admitted to a good point.

while tne question oi ma Hi'pt MnA over verv freelv. Engineer Nichols ex pressed the opinion that it was a question whether or not the department had ans authority to go out of the original authori zed line or tne Dringe ano iiugm that the approaches would have to receive the approval of the Board of Aldermen, the Board of Estimate and the Art Commis sion. Mr. Nichols said that recently Mr Crowell had made a suggestion that hun grown upon him and he was leaning mnrf favoraoiy towara it every oay. ii was um elevators be provided at a convenient point to earry up trucks and bring others down He said that four enclosed elevators couK be provided and that they would be abh to handle all the traffic with ease.

The pla pleased some or tne committeemen present Mr. Nichols explained that It was entire! a new thing here In the East; it had beer tried successfully out West. He stated that several years ago a big elevator was buiii at Hoboken to carry people up the side nl the Palisades, and it worked very well, hut Improvements could be made on that style In speaking of the Interest taken by th Committee of Forty. Mr. Nichols said: "The department fw)ieves In the sin cerity of the committee and the people represents.

We are all on a common level seeking to do that which -would be best fo-the Interests of the people." The width of the main approach wa' taken up again. The plan showed that -was' intended originally to end the hridir. at Academy street, but it had been change to crescent street, so mat two intervening streets could cut across the plaza Instear of being closed to traffic. Mr. Nichols salo that there was no question about the le gal right and power of the Department ol Bridges to make the main approaches feet wide, hut it was a question whether or hot that width was necessary.

Mr. Andrews stated that If the approach was 120 feet wide there would be ample room for teams to turn on to the main approach from north and south approaches and that former Commissioners Shea and Llndenthal had both promised to build the approaches. Engineer Nichols explained that the conference was held In order to get all the ideas and suggestions possible from of the committee as the work on the bridge had reached a point where the plans for the approaches must be decided upon that the contracts could be let early in the coming year or the other wnrir get too far ahead. rointing to a spot on tne map formed with lead pencil lines. Engineer Nichols explained that it was the property taken by the Penn- Byivwiia iniauii lor its yard.

The bridge ends in front of It," he said, "and it le a grave Question wWh if i. wise to stop the bridge at the Thomson and Jackson avenues were traced on the map and he said that they would be the only outlets from the bridge to the portion of the borough beyond Long Island City He said that north and south approaches were local and" that there was a big space in the 'borough that must not be left out ran his hand over the map In the direction of Flushing and said that It was a very important part of the borough and a part in his opinion destined to become very prominent and to profit largely by the bridge. "This Is the only bridge the Borough of Queens will get," said Mr. Nichols, "and" you should not localize its facilities or Influence too much. We want to make poslr tlve plans for the approaches before we to the Board of Estimate and ask for th money to build them.

The question of the cost of north and south approaches is not serious, as they could probably be put up for sometning line ti.uu.euu, ana mat, aaoed to the cost of the main approach, would nnt make it more than about $2,000,000." He explained that the changes In the contract with the stetl company were such that the bridge wouJd be strengthened, ena'ollna -them to put four elevated, tracks on the sec ond noor msteao oi two or two troney ana two elevated tracks and put on side brackets and have the walk for foot passengers up there, rie staten tnat tne waixs could not te put on the outer edges of the lower Three Owners at Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars Each.
