Luy-ster, former District Attorney Franklin A. Coles, Counselor Edward T. Payne and several Jewish residents of Glen Cove of the Jewish faith.

Pastor Hughes took for the topic of his sermon the text of Psalm 89:14, "Justice and Judgment are the habitation of thy throne," and for the greater part of the sermon dwelt on man's arrest, and conviction, due, he said, to an Intense feeling of race prejudice and a public clamor for a victim. "This pulpit will always respect and stand for the Integrity of our courts," said Mr. Hughes. "I am not asking you tonight for action to overthrow our courts, I am asking you to sign a petition to Governor Slaton of Georgia, to save the life of a man whom many thousands of people believe to be innocent." Many people signed the petition. Dr.

Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi of the Free Synagogue, Manhattan, yesterday said that if Leo Frank is hanged he will have been lynched.

The sums were to bo 3,000 and S5.000. respectively, for the poor funds and general contingent, both of which are empty. One of the hitches in obtaining th loan comes from the form of the reso- mtion passed by the board. This was copied from the minutes of a previous meeting of the town board but those examining it state it is insufficient to permit a bank to legally loan a town money.

The other hitch, according to a statement of Supervisor Howell, Is, that the bank where the loan was wanted deemed the present financial condition of the town's funds wouldn't warrant It. The balance In the gen- eral contingent fund, Supervisor Howell remarked this morning Is 41 cents while against the poor fund are bills in excess of the total amount. Some of the people having' bills against the town have been notified that for a time at least it would be impossible to pay them.

May 17 "The at titude of all Americana regarding the present crisis should be to support President Wilson, for he has used a Arm and clear assertion of our post tlon," said the Rev. Louis II. Johnston in his sermon in the Congregational Church last night. "While we may hav a right on belligerent ships to the high seas under the present laws, would it not be an advance in Interna tional law to limit the rights upon the sea to our own vessels, thus avoiding aggravated dangers? "A real American is one who puts America first and all who come to our shores should unquestionably support American interests. Let those Ger mans go home and stay there who place Germany ahead of America.

Dr. Dernburg should have a muffler placed on his 'gift of We are asked to remain still by our President, but this Dernburg can go up and down the country violating rules of hospitality, and exnmiting rough manners in re gard to American rights. "We don want war, ana It is not necessary. Like an unruly neighbor, if Germany will not play fair, ostracize her; cut her off. In times like these the publlo should trust the leaders.

"While there can be no doubt that Americans have the right both from the President and the law to travel on high seas upon a ship of the bellig erents, yet for the sake of their own country, Its peace and happiness, these Americans should remain from all such vessels and not subject us to this crisis. They should place the country before personal interests. However, as they Insisted on these rights our coun try must sustain tneir acts.

proper steps without delay to provide for the undergrade crossing requested at Good Ground. That Is one of the most dangerous crossings on the main South Country road. It can be made safe In the way proposed. It Is a necessary and timely Improvement. Admitting that the supervisors are the ones responsible for each bill audited and must necessarily be sure that It Is a proper bill, thpy are auditing, still there Is considerable criticism among county officials and others regarding their action this week, stating that hereafter no public official can buy any supplies at county expense.

In effect, the supervisors have said that the rest of the officials cannot be trusted to buy supplies for their ofBces; but this is not exactly the meaning the supervisors Intended to convey. They adopted the resolution for political reasons. According to the resolution an official must now file a requisition with the supply committee. If this Is approved, the supplies will be bought and forwarded. This scheme is going to prove awkward for officials.

Very often some official needs some small article on the spur of the moment, being directed to do something by a State official. Under the present rule he could not obtain it without first making and filing a requisition, forwarding it to the members of the committee in three widely separated places in the county, and then wait again until they had approved of it, purchased the article, and forwarded it, making in all several days delay undoubtedly. The resolution is one that will not consi vs the best business Interests of tl: county. And, by the way, why Is it the supervisors take their own pay checks home with them on the day of ths meeting and let others wait from three days to a week? Sort of looks as if the members were anxious to get their own money and did not care when other claimants got theirs, This, from the Review, is quite to the point: "From the fight a few of the supervisors are making against the salary bill. It would appear that the bill Itself is a good thine fop thj tax-t payers." -Jir-( one of the very finest of the ex i-iVviini emup Ul IIUlllS .11 una tlon.

Special attention has also been directed toward the precaution against nre, and a complete nre ngni-ing apparatus is being installed on the estate, with hydrants, pumping station, reservoir, etc, in addition to the flreprooflng of the house Itself. The house will cost $350,000. Owing to the damage done to the place by fire, the grounds of the Long Island Home. estate are to undergo an entire overhauling and planting. The house follows the Colonial Idea as to type, being especially commodious and comfortable.

It Is constructed of a new kind of brick, known as clinker brick, rough in texture, with Kentucky limestone trimmings. The walls are of tile and the foundation work of concrete. There is a complete story below ground, and two and a half stories above. The house has been built to face directly upon the sound, although the entrance ap proach will be especially pleasing with its Colonial suggestion of columns. There are forty-five rooms, exclusive of bathrooms.

The servants' wing is located at the right of the house, from the entrance. LARGER SCHOOLS ARE NEEDED IN QUEENS Local Board Urges Appropriations for Extra Accommodations. FEAIt AMOCST WILL BE CUT. Extension to Newtown High School unci New Building In Corona arc Urged. (Special to The Eagle.) Elmhurst, L.

May 17 The Local School Board for the Forty-second District has Just forwarded a lengthy letter to the Board of Education, In which are cited several instances of much-needed extra school accommodations throughout the district. In cluding Woodslde, Winfleld, Elmhurst, jyiaspetn, jiiasi uimnurst ana corona. The most urgent case, the board writes, is the question of the extension to Newtown High School, for which the Board of Education has already made the necessary appropriation. It is feared, however, that the Board of Estimate will more than cut in half the amount asked for new schools and that In such an advent the school people might cut out the high school In favor of the elementary schools. The Local Board recommends that a site be purchased at Corona, on Lake street, between Forty-first and Forty-second streets, and that a new building be erected there: It also asks that land be acquired a Caldwell and Brit-tonlere avenues, Elmhurst, and that a building be erected.

Children now living in this section attend Public School No. 89, a mile and a half away, and are compelled to use the trolley cars and stages. Further recommendations are that a site be secured at Columbus Boulevard and Astoria avenue. East Elmhurst, a building to be erected; permanent buildings erected at Forest Hills and in the Sage Foundation where portable classrooms inadequate to the conditions are now in use; a new building to relieve the overcrowded condition at Public School No. 12, Winfleld; a playground for Public School No.

SUFFOLK COUNTY. formerly of Huntington, started the cry that he was a non-resident there, politically. It had been discovered that he was an enrolled Democrat In Huntington, although he had been elected In Florida on the Prohibition ticket, but Postmaster Dusenberry promptly forwarded some affidavits to the effect that the enrollment In Huntington was made "without Mr. Dawson's request or knowledge." Mercy! how could this be, when enrollment is purely a personal matter to be legal? Huntington shocks us. An open letter has been written suggesting that former County Superintendent A.

O. Smith be appointed a deputy superintendent of roads In Brookhaven. The suggestion is a mighty good one. Mr. Smith is recognized generally as one of the best road men the county ever had.

The State Board of Health Is hold ing up the plans for the erection of the tuberculosis hospital. It wants to have the hospital erected in one spot on the Holtsvllle tract, and the supervisors' committee wants It in another. Many of those best acquainted with the little scrap think the supervisors have the right end of It. It Is also reported that some of the residents in that section, although living some distance from the site, are threatening an injunction to prevent. the erection of the building.

There has been some criticism of late because Nathan O. Petty is not making a more aggressive personal campaign at this time for the Surrogate's nomination. When this was called to his attention he said: "I consider that my first duty is to the public. My position in the Surrogate's Court is keeping rr hard at work. I shall do this work first, nomination or no nomination.

While I sincerely want the nomination, I shall not let my de sire prevent me from first doing the work for which the county pays me. As fast as I can get the tlma I will call on all the voters I can." The eupjvlaow ehouW taie riWinillWIiiiHIMmUMI iWIIMH iw POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS District Attorney Green has recovered from his recent serious attack of pneumonia and was able to attend to real business this week for the first time in over a month. His friends were glad to see him back to the court house looking and acting quite like his old self. Just now he is hard at work preparing a brief in the appeal in the "road graft" cases, which will probaly be argued in June. Believing that the salary bill Is illegal, the supervisors have decided to ignore it and work under the old per diem basis, which will give some of them much more than the fixed salary.

Can it be that they fear they will be sued for receiving an illegal salary when the salary is less than under the fee system? The recount Is not to be allowed to rest in peace. The Hicks lawyers have about decided to taken an appeal to the Court of Appeals, and have asked for a stay against opening any more of the ballot boxes until the latest appeal is argued. The supervisors did a very decent piece of work this week in setting apart a fund against which the prosecutor can check without using his own private funds in emergency cases. District Attorney Greene says there has never been a time since he went into office four years ago that he hasn't had several hundred dollars tied up money that he has advanced to keep the work of his office going smoothly. He won't have to do this in the future, and to most people there doesn't seem to be any good reason why he should.

After the formal plans for the improvement of the Smithtown-Fort Salonga road had been approved by the supervisors this week, Chairman Smith, in whose town the road is, publicly thanked County Engineer Nostrand, Mr. Reed of the State Engineer's office, and Marvin Shelbler for their active assistance In pushing this matter through to the stage where it now la.
