CLERK'S ACCOUNTS PRAISED. Citizens Hold Informal Meeting and Quiz the Trustees About Public Expenditures.

(Special to The Eagle.) Cedarhurst, L. March 12-While the fight is still going on for the mandamus compelling the Village Board to submit both the Warrenite and the asphalt paving proposition at the special election to be held on April 1, one of the leaders of the opposition says that he may "spring one of the greatest sensations that has happened on Long Island." Meanwhile, Village President David H. Weyant and the other members 0. the Board are expecting the injunction served upon them at any time in reference to the withholding of the Warrenite proposition the regular village election on Monday. Citizens got together last night and called an informal meeting, at which some pointed questions were put to the members of the Village Board in reference to the expenditures of public money, street improvements, and the methods used by for financing the various departments.

These were all explained to the apparent satisfaction of the inquisitors. That the opposition forces have had expert accountants examining the books of Village Clerk Lewis M. Raisig, was learned today. The 1C- sult of the examination has not been publicly announced by the opposition party, but a prominent citizen who was present at the examination told an Eagle reporter that the experts had to admit that the books were in good shape. That Clerk Raisig, who is also justice of the peace, has exercised the greatest care, system and accuracy in keeping his accounts, is the statement made by James Loucheim, a prominent resident of this place, who has had occasion to refer to the village records at various times.

The regular ticket is preparing moving picture slides, carrying a somewhat different statement than that which James R. Rowe gives for signing the nominating petition of opponent, D. H. Weyant, for Village President, and other candidates. The regulars quote Mr.

Howe as saying when he signed: "Certainly, they are good enough for me." Mr. Rowe says he signed because he did not know that there would be til opposing ticket. KREPPEL LEFT $46,000. Most of Ridgewood Man's Estate Goes to Children. Long Island City, L.

(Special to The Eagle.) Long Island City, L. March 12-- Borough President Connolly, in conjunction with an instructive course of lectures in connection with the Board of Education, spoke at Bryant High School last evening, on "Municipal Improvements; How Our Taxes are Spent." President Connolly does not receive the usual lecturer's fee. The Borough President outlined in detail the difference between taxes and assessments for public improvements, explaining that taxes are simply used to pay for the maintenance of city departments, to pay interest on the city debt, amounting to $55,000,000 for 1913, and $65,000,000 for 1915, and for part payment toward the amortization of the debt itself. The enormous borrowing capacity of the city, $1,000,000,000, or 10 cent. of the assessed valuation of real estate, was discussed, and the city credit explained.

"It is gratifying," said the President, "to know that the credit of the City of York is still safe, regardless of many rumors to the contrary." The function of corporate stock bonds, special revenue bonds, and the work of the sinking fund in paying off the bonded indebtedness was explained 11 detail. Full explanation of how the budget is prepared was made. "The idea that officials spend the city money like drunken sailors is as erroneous as it is unfortunate," he said. President Connolly said that the money to be raised on taxes this year totals $290,000,000. Interesting figures, illustrating, the cost per capita for management the numerous departments, were given as follows: Board of Education, Fire and Police, Health Department, Charity Bureau, Corrections, $24; Courts, Parks, Docks, Bridges, $1.

The maintenance of the borough administration departments in Queens costs each person $3 a year, or a total of $1,202,000.

The figures are: Elementary school, $10.24: high school. $104; day training schools, $158; evening high and trade school, and evening elementary schools, truant schools, $262.09. President Connolly expressed himself being decidedly opposed to 14 tional schools, giving 88 his reason he believed in the parents of chilthat dren looking out for their future welCare, and not having an outsider pick out their life work.

THIS JUDGE HEADS RAIDING PARTIES SERUIET LEWIS M. RAISIG. ANTI-SECESSIONISTS TO GO TO ALBANY Will Oppose Measure at Hearing Before Cities Committee of Assembly. (Special to The Eagle.) Rockaway Beach, March 12--The anti-secessionists in the Rockaways, people who oppose the separation of the Fifth Ward for the City of New York, are getting busy and according to their spokesman, Lawyer Samuel I. Goldberg, will go to Albany at least 100 strong to oppose the plan at the hearing before the Cities Committee of the Assembly next week.

Mr. Goldberg is preparing a letter which he is sending out in behalf of the "antis" setting forth their reasons for wanting to remain in the city. Some of the reasons are: people really do not want to secede but are being led by a lot of sheep to slaughter by a handful of men who are using as bait figures and promises which are absolutely erroneous, made by these men either through ignorance or for the sole purpose of misleading the public. "That the City of New York is giving us the best possible kind of administration. "That while taxes are high, real estate has increased in value proportionally.

"That it is only a matter of time when the City of New York will supply us with city water and relieve us from the clutches of the water company. "That secession would lead back to the days of grafting politicians who had a strangle hold on this peninsula prior to consolidation." PLAN ST. PATRICK'S DINNER (Special to The Eagle.)

Halleran. Notes and Comment Assemblyman. McWhinney's bill, which would put the fire departments under the control of the heads of the seems to have stirred up a hornets' nest of objections from Long Istowns, land firemen. McWhinney, though, ought to know what he is doing as he is an old-time fireman and has for a long time been chief of the LawrenceCedarhurst fire department. Perhaps conditions in the Town of Hempstead are more suitable for the scheme than in other towns that will be affected by the proposed legislation.

There is no doubt, however, that if the dissenting firemen show Chief Me Whinney that the bill is harmful he will kill it. That's the sort of fellow he is. Southampton people hope to raise $25,000 for dredging and otherwise improving Agawam Lake. The Improvement is one that will greatly benefit a village that is already a mighty fine one. The cost is small compared with the benefits that will come from the work.

Brookhaven Town's idea of a town public nurse is a good one. Most of the larger incorporated villages have local public nurses, but the smaller villages, where the need for something of this sort is just as urgent, do not share in the advantages. Brookhaven's nurse will be a very busy young woman and she will do a lot of good. TIDE TABLE FOR TOMORROW. A.M.- High.

CAN'T GET SEWERAGE AT PRICE AGREED ON MERRY LOT OF CRABS RIOT ON A TRAIN (Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. March 12-There was a on a Long Island train near riot, night. A real riot, in which people stood on seats and did all sorts of fantastic things. The reason? troop of spitting crabs, known to science as "Expectorationae Possiblebus Prevaricaterl'-they are exceedingly rare animals or fish, or whatever they are -got loose on the train and that fatalities were averted is only a miraele. Somebody, more thoughtful of the pleasure he might be given, than wise as to the proper course to follow, presented a paper bag el these spitting monstrosities to a visitor who promptly ly boarded the Long Island train and set out for home.

He put the bag under the seat, near the steam pipe. The crabs warmed up, thawed out, or whatever the action is, and then got busy. A daddy crab gave a prodigious lunge and made a hole in tho bag, large enough for the entire regiment to tramp through. And the crab3 got busy right away. One large young fellow nipped the left ankle of a bride who had seated herself nearby.

She grew angry, wanted an investigation made and the first quarrel of the happy couple's married life resulted. Another crab dis turbed thee slumber of a minister who was positive that he had suddenly been vistied by Mephistopheles or some emissary of that worthy person. A third E. P. P.

took a chance on a tough farmer who promptly hurled villification and his umbrella at the thing. And 80 it went. Men women and children fainted. Babies cried, mothers wept. Everywhere was pandemonium.

Dignifled school mistresses stood upon seats as the attack was carried on with fury. And then a heroic brakeman, making a noise like a mermaid, the only noise guaranteed to stop E. P. when on a rampage, and there were fooled. They subsided, and thrown overboard.

'WOMEN WOULD END WAR IN EUROPE" Mrs. Brown Says Congress of Mothers Wouldn't Send Sons to Slaughter. (Special to The Eagle.) Lawrence, L. March is only a mother who knows the price of human life, and it is only the women who place a proper value upon it, and if the matter were put to a vote by the women of Europe tonight the dreadful killing there would end This was the answer that Mrs. Raymond Brown, president of the New York State Woman Suffrage Association, gave last night to a question asked by one of the men who attended the big suffrage rally in Firemen's Hall.

The question raised by the man was: "If women go to Congress and declare war, how can they defend it?" "Women alone could never declare war," returned Mrs. Brown. "War is declared by Congress, and it isn't likely that there will ever be a majority of women in Congress. woman should ever get elected to Congress--elected by both the men and the women-it ought to be an indication that she is it pretty good woman. And for a woman to declare war and send her father, husband, brother and son out to be slaughtered is unthinkable.

You men do not declare war except as you are represented in Congress, and what we women want is to have some voice in making that representation that does declare war." It was an enthusiastic meeting, held under the auspices of the LawrenceCedarhurst district committee, which has just been formed with some of the most prominent local women at the head. Dr. J. Carl Schmuck presided. Mrs.

Frederick Almy is chairman of the local committee and among her assistants are Mrs. Albert A. Frank, Mrs. Newbold Heinrick, Mrs. Frank Phillips.

Mrs. Brown stated that the campaign for equal rights was not fight against men but a fight to be a better helpmate to the men, to be his complete partner in making the greatest of American institutions, the home, ideal for all members of the family. OYSTER HOUSE MUST GO F. C. Bourne Wins Suit Against Blue Point Co.

(Special to The Eagle.) Sayville, L. March 12-A decision has been handed down by Supreme Court Justice Jaycox in the double tions brought by Florence Bourne Hard and Frederick G. Bourne against the Blue Points Company to compel val of the oyster house and other obstructions at the foot of West street, in West Sayville. Justice Jaycox emphasized the view that the union of a highway on land with tide water constituted a. continuous highway; and that any obstruction to such highway is unlawful.

When the case was retried in December. Joseph Wood, attorney for the plaintiffs, claimed Mr. Bourne had purchased the rights of landing from Samuel Greene. He also declared the oyster business of the Blue Pointe Company was an "eyesore, and brought objectionable odors to the plaintiffs." The value of the Blue Points property here in West Sayville, Captain Jacob Ockers stated, is more than 000,000. Asa A.

Spear represented the defendants, It is thought the decision will be appealed, as the removal of the oyster house will entail a large expense. WANT ANOTHER FIRE COMPANY. Civic Association Asks Protection for Merrick Road Section. Jamaica, L. March 12-The Merrick Civic Association, at a meeting held last night, discussed the advisability of having company located in the Merrick road section.

It was anid that with a majority of the Jamaica, companiea located on the north side, there might be much loss of time in case of fire on the south side in the event that freight train should block the way on the Long Island Railroad tracks. P. N. Ventrice and Ernest Koeppious were appointed a committee to confer with the Fire Commissioner regarding this matter. Arrangements were made for A meeting to be held at Harmeling's Hall on March 25, at which time Borough President Connolly in expected to deliver an Dr.

SETS THEM ON RIGHT PATH. Cedarhurst Justice of the Peace Has Made Remarkable Record During His Term of Office. (Special to The Eagle.) Cedarhurst, L. March 12-Justice of the Lewis M. Raisig of this village believes that it is possible for a criminal to "come back," and with this idea in mind he has been instrumental in reforming many of the men who have been brought before him during his term in office, which started on January 1, 1912.

Although it is not his policy to let the real "bad men" off easily, Judge Raisig has advised many first offenders to reform and he is gratified, he says, that many of them have done so and are now good citizens. The Judge, however, is an open enemy cleaned of lawlessness, conditions and he has so up in his district that one man was heard to say the other day: "He has cleaned up the Italian settlements down in Inwood, and now when he goes through there they all take their hats off to him." Judge Raisig entered public life in 1907, when he was elected Assessor on the Republican ticket. He held the office for two terms, and in 1911 became Justice of the Peace. Since taking that office he has disposed of more than 1,500 criminal actions and more than 1,000 civil actions. In fines in 1914 he collected than $2,615.

For the three years fines collected exceeded $5,000. Of all of his decisions, thirteen were appealed, nine were affirmed by the higher court, one was ordered back for trial and three appeals are as yet undecided. He is best known outside of his immediate neighborhood for his activity in personally making inquiries into violations of the law. In 1913 Governor Sulzer wrote to him concerning the presence of disorderly houses and petty gambling in Inwood, and Judge Raisig personally led a raid on all the known establishments in Inwood, making thirteen prisoners and securing convictions against each. Since then he has raided sixteen disorderly houses in the Town of Hempstead, between Lynbrook and Far Rockaway.

March 12-Behind the delay in completing the sewage disposal plant at the New York State Agricultural School here, there is a hint of politics, and considerable mystery as to who is bidding for the contract to install machinery. The Brianti Construction Company of White Plains, which has the contract for the work, ig being held up because of a sudden increase in the machinery bid, and there is some question as to whether the concern will be able to get an' extension of time from March 27. Last November, when the sewerage contract was let by the State Architect, the Brianti Company got a tentative bid-though it was not in writingfrom a Philadelphia concern, headed by a man known as Colonel Perchs. The bid was to install the machinery at $14,000, and, according to a representative of the Brianti Company, it was to be placed as soon as the sewers and disposal building had been constructed. Now the building is about ready for the machinery.

The concern is willing to put in the machinery at $17,000, and the Brianti Construction Company has written to the State Agricultural School Board that they will have to have more money. At the same time, it is reported, a company in Manhattan, posedly connected with the same COncern, has made a bid for $14,000, promising to supply the same machinery. The Brianti Construction Company, the main bidders on the contract, are ready, or nearly so, to go ahead with their work, but the delay in the installation and acceptance of the chinery has meant that they have got to have an extension of time beyond March 27, the date when the contract is supposed to be closed. The sewerage plant is so far constructed that the foundations for the building are in, and it is really necessary now to have the machinery on hand very soon. The delay in getting the plant ready is causing some difficulty in the State School, because facilities for sewage disposal is not of the best there.

The guarantee for the machinery is that it will make the sewage 99 per cent. pure, and the representative of the Brianti Company said that the new bidders for the work would not agree that they could do that, so here, again, is another hitch.
