More Than 33,000 Ballots Cast for the Winner Miss Rittweger Is Second Four Attendants From Each Village for the Fete on August 25. Now Happy as Happy Can Be, and Aunt, Who Objected at First, Seems Reconciled to the Union. FREEPORT, July 27. In order to pro cure her clothes, Including a wedding frock which had been made for a cere mony In the fall, Mrs.

Harold 8. Chase, formerly Miss Rita Bedell, who was married without the knowledge of her aunt, Mrs. Kate Paff, or other relatives, at Hempstead Saturday night, yesterday afternoon obtained a search warrant through her husband from Justice George Tatem. Officer Elmer E. Raynor took the warrant and lost no time In going to the residence, of the bride's aunt, on upper Main street, where she had fled Sunday afternoon, pursued by her aunt and other relatives.

The aunt received the officer cordially and Informed him that the youthful bride could have her wearing If she would come over and pick out the articles belonging to her. Mrs. Chase accepted the opportunity, as she had no clothes excent those In which she made her es cape Sunday. She and her aunt did not engage In any conversation While the bride was In the house. It did not take a great while for the bride to collect her belongings and she departed for the home of her husband, across the street, as soon as the articles had been gathered.

Mrs. Paff, the aunt, who on Sunday showed agitation over the marriage of her niece after the news had been broken to her by the bride, appeared to be reconciled yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding that on Supday the young bride's clothes were removed from a suitcase In the aunt's home and put under lock and key and the girl watched In an endeavor to prevent, If possible, her going to her husband. Mrs. Pnff remarked, according to report, that she had looked upon the Jfac, who is a half orphan, her mother hjJWlng died wlien she was very her own child and that was why she felt so badly about the hasty, secret marriage. The bride, who is under 18 years, spent yesterday at the home of her husband's parents.

Mr. and Mrs. John Chase, and appeared happy. It is not believed an attempt will be made to have the marriage annulled, as the bride will be of full age In the fall and could then remarry If she present marriage were declared Illegal.

The men who are allied with our'movement are much in earnest, and they tell US that our cause is on the, move, and that If we will put up the right kind of candidates In the primary we will have i surprising following.

We have been informed that the work of organization has been com-j menced in more than half the election districts In the county. This work will ko right on and for the first time this fall there will be caucuses In every election district In the county. The Republican voters of tho county, If they stir them-! solves, will have a chance to determine the candidates to be named this fall." Theodore P. Wllsnack, of Richmond Hill, one of the militant members of the Burden following, was a visitor at the committee rooms. He said afterwards: "I had a talk with Mr.

Knapp. I told him that this proposition of. the election district unit was not a new thing. It was what I have been contending for a Ions time. When I was In the Assembly I Introduced a bill providing for this unit.

These men and the members of the County Committee are not far apart. In fact it is my belief that there will not be much trouble in setting them together." "Will the fipht be continued up to the primary?" asked the reporter. "That Is more than I can say at this time." replied Mr. Wllsnack. "But you can say I predict that whether the fight is continued to the primary or not there Is to be a united Republican party In Queens this year, and the party Is going to take such a stand as will bring to Its support the large number of Independent voters In the county.

The prospects of Republican success were never brighter." The Worm Will Turn. Ttnrbrr Your half's very thin, 'sir.

MINEOLA, July the county or town authorities have the right to give permits for orosslng highways known as county roads either by over- rAc Ar nnrlero-rnde crossings will be threshed out, It Is expected, In a proceed in which is to be brought by the Nas sau County Board of Supervisors against the Long Island Motor Parkway, to restrain the company from erecting an overtrade crossing over the Jericho turn Dike east of Mineola, and at a point known as Bevel Hill. Yesterday the hoard adopted a resolution authorizing Smith Cox.

the Chairman, to employ counsel and forthwith apply to the courts for an injunction restraining the motor parkway from proceeding with the over- grade orosslng on the Jericho turnpike, and also any other crossing of so-called county roads not duly authorized by the Board of Supervisors. nrw to avoid trade crossings In building the motor parkway. It is neces sary to cross eight highway! In the town of North Hempstead, either over or under tho mirfaca of the road. Consents to make sqch crossings were granted several weeks' ago by the Board of Commis sioners of Highways of the town of North Hempstead, the Town Board concurring. Work upon an overgrade crossing of the Jericho turnpike or the approaches was then begun, that highway being one of the eight affected by the consents.

Yesterday fifty-three taxpayers filed a peti tion with the Supervisors protesting against the erection of the overgrade crossing on th eground that It would be dangerous and unBlghtly. Then It was found that the consent pf the Board of Supervisors had not been obtained, and the resolution directing Chairman Cox to bring Injunction proceedings was adopted. The Motor Parkway people claim to have an opinion from the State Attorney General to the effect that the) control of all highways, town and counter, la In the Town Superintendent, or, as at present, the Commissioners of Highways, and the County Superintendent, and they only hav the authority to grant permits for crossings, laying of water and gas pipes, etc. that under the provisions of the new highway law the only Interest the county supervisors have In the county roads 1 to provide the means and maintain them GETTING READY FOR MINEOLA, July 27.

Good Fishing, No Catching. HEMPSTEAD, July number of the business men of this village enjoyed a day's fishing On the Great South Bay last Saturday and had as their guests the Rev. W. B. Farrell, formerly priest In charge of the Church of Our Lady of Loretto here, a most popular clergyman.

The fishing last Saturday was not very rood, and every man had a good for not catching any, but Mr. Warnsr, of Hempstead, won first prize with excuses, and also with fish tales. When It was found that Saturday was not the day that the fish would bits, lines were hauled up a food sail enjoyed down east and rewra, ENJOIN PARKWfl INEOLAS RICHMOND HILL, July 27. The matter of street openings, preparatory to the Installation of sewers, was thoroughly threshed out at a mass meeting held last night In Arcanum Hall. Richmond Hill, under the auspices of the Richmond Hill Board of Trade.

About 400 taxpayers were on hand to hear what a special committee on street openings had to report on Its findings, and what it had to recommend regarding a plan of action. Incidentally William R. Keese. an assistant In the Corporation Counsel's office, having charge of street openings In Queens, tried to elucidate some kiiulu legal technicalities propounded by anxious and puzzled property owners. The meeting was opened by John P.

Mo-Graw, who, after a few Introductory remarks, introduced Frank A. Leete, Chairman of the special committee. Mr. Leete said: "The object of this meeting to-night, as I understand it, as the committee has gone over the ground, Is to endeavor to come to a better understanding, Jrtho legal status of the streets or Kicnmonu win nnd the entire section extending from Van Wyck avenue on the east to the Brooklyn line on the west. Those who have been In the habit of attending meetings of the Board of Trade during the last two years, have heard consider able discussion in the matter of street openings, but each time the question came up we found some who were surprised to know that the streets have not been legally accepted by tb city to warrant them In going aheafwlth local Im provements.

Here are streets that have been In use for the last twenty-five, thlr ty or forty years some of them perhaps longer, and still the City of New xom will not proceed to make Improvements on those streets. It is said that nothing can be done until the title to the streets rests with the city." To avoid future trouble and expense property owners should file their petitions as soon as possible, and should not tor get at the same time to file affidavits that the streets have been in use in the community for the last twenty or thirty years. The next speakers were Thomas Coates and William J. Schwarz, other members of the committee. Mr.

Coates said that the lack of sewers In Richmond Hill is what has kept away a great many people who otherwise would buy homes and take up their residence there. Mr. Keese said that no cession of thej streets can be made except by owners on a full block. Two hundred feet or more constitutes a block. Ira Le Veen, a representative of the Brooklyn Hill? Board of Trade, urged that the only way to accomplish anything Is for the property owners to take concerted action, and not act Individually entirely.

POLICEMAN STOPS RUNAWAY. Animal Dashed Down Street When Bridle Was Removed. FLUSHING, July 27. Sergt. Martin Bowe, of the Flushing Precinct, distinguished himself yesterday by the clever manner In which he captured a runaway horse! The animal, a big Iron was attached to an express wagon.

The horse was at the corner of Seventeenth street und Third avenue, College Point, when the driver started to take off the bridle so it could eat Its noon meal. The horse wanted freedom more than It wanted It oats, however, and without warning started down the street at a merry clip. Joseph Kelly, a driver for an Ice company, attempted to stop the horse on Lawrence street, but without success. Officer Bowe, however. Jumped at the animal's head and catching it by the nose brought It to a stop.

CHOOSING THE QUEEN FOR THE BALDWIN CARNIVAL BALDWIN, July 27. With but a few days remaining before the contest for Queen of the Carnival, to be held under the auspices of the Baldwin Fire Department, the Interest therein grows. Among those who are coming to the front is Miss Jeanette Jackson.
