i Another Dangerous Blaze
Saturday aftemoon at about 1:47, I Call 45 took the firemen to the corner I of Grove and Pine Streets, and when i.they arrived it looked as though Free- ' port might witness the worst fire in ita I history.
I Fanned by a north by northwest ; gale, a barn and several outbuildings ! in the rear of the Randall flats, were I burning fiercely. The flats, which are j but twenty feet away, are three stor- I ies high and entirely of wood, and it j seemed that it would be impossible to ¦ save them. The eaves of the rectory of the Church of Our Holy Redeemer, I a less distance away on the other side, j were smoldering, the root' oi the old [Catholic Church onthe other side *of ' the street was afire in sevuial places, I as were also the roofs on the residence ': of George Geiler, adjoining the charch, I and the «tore building on the aouth¬ west corner.
Five lines of hose were laid, and while two went into the fire, the other three were used on the adjoining build¬ ings. For a while it looked as thouj^h | in spite oT thia the fiats might catcii ' fire, and men were sent to the roof I with extinguishers with which they j extinguished a small blaze there, but j the fire was stopped at the barn, which | was totally destroyed. j
The building being entirely of frame, and with the wind   that was   blowing, ¦ was  almost  entirely afire  before   the firemen   arrived, but with   their   cus-, tomary willingness, several of the noz j zle crews went  directly into   the   fire, j and  the  volume of water   soon had to I have effect.    Had the fire once  gotten into the flats there is no telling  where j it would  have stopped,   and a number of grateful residents watched  the men at their work.
The recall was blown at 2:19. |
Some of the embers from the burn¬ ing building carried to the Merrick Road, a block away, and as the firemen i were picking up they were told that the garage of Arthur Wilson on the Merrick Road had been afire. *
Chief Loonam investigated and found ' that sparks had apparently fallen in a heap of rubbish side of the-barn, set , ting it afire, and when Platt Conklin, [ who resides next door, returned from watching the first fire, he saw the side : of the building blazing. Hastily aum moning aaaiatance, without calling on : the firemen, Mr. Conklin, who was a \ charter member of Trjack 1, in 1875, | and is still an honorary'member of that! company, formed a bucket brigade and j extinguished the blaze, which had al- i ready charred a side of the building, ; and there is no question bat that in a ! few minutes it would have been de-1 stroyed. j
Tbe bam was owned by the   John J. Randall   Company,   and the   loss  will { probably   amount to about $600,   with j no insurance.
It was occupied by Edward Rice, plumber, who had insurance only on his horse and wagon, which were out. His loss will probably amonnt to alraut $800. The damage to the roofs of the flats, the cburch, rectory, etc., was trifling in each case. The outbuild¬ ings wbich were burned, would proba¬ bly amoant to about $50.
While it is not known positively what started the fire, several very small boys entered the chicken house immediately before it burst into flames, and it is thought that they were either playing with matches or smoking, and accidentally set fire to the building.

BASEBALL Game with Lynbrook Protested.
On Thuisday afternoon of last week the High School team lost its ti.st ieautue game to Lynbrook upon an un- lair deal, howe.ver, and the game has heen protested. A meeting of the liiigue is soon to be called, when it will be decided as to whether this ^ame will be played over or not. Freeport Lo.ses to Flushing.
Loose playing and a number of er¬ rors combined to make a victory for Flushing High, on the home grounds last Saturday. Both teams were tied, when in the fifth inning the visitors started the run gathering, and rolled ' up 12. In the last inning Freeport rallied, driving in four runs. The score was 9 to 12. Freeport Again Trounces Hempstead.
In an interesting  game last Monday atfernoon, the local High School   team lowered the colors of Hempstead High by defeating its team, 11 to 2.    Free-: port's steady   playing   featured.    The ¦ battery   for Freeport was   Pettit   and Baker.    Score by innings: Freeport 0 10 15 0 3 1 x—11

PROPER WAY FOR FLAG. According to the Sons of the Revo¬ lution of the State of New York, on Memorial Day the flag should be flown at half staff, from sunrise to noon, and full staff from noon to sunset.
THROWING PAPER IN STREET.
A reader* asks if it is against the law to throw paper and refuse into the street. Ordinance No. 6 very plainly prohibits it, and makes it the duty of a police ofiicer seeing any person throwing paper into the street to ar¬ rest fV^, and there ia a fine of $5 im¬ posed foKeach offence. It is also the privilege, and duty, of any private citizen seeing any citizen violating this law, to arrest them and take them be¬ fore a police justice for punishment.
EDUCATION IN FREEPORT As I said in this column   last   week, there   is no   need to worry   as   to   the prospects  of  educational   facilities in i Freeport.     When a gathering of voters I in sufficient numbers to fill the Assem- j bly Hall at the   Grove  Street  School, I almost   unanimously    (only   one   vote I against  it)   vote in favor  of a budget ; of $55,000 for school   expenses for the ! ensuing year, there is no question   but J that all scholars will be given a proper educatioYi, and that   Freeport will con- ! tinue in the lead in the  matter of edu- i cational facilities. '  This has been dem¬ onstrated by the   voters at the   annual school   meetings in the past,  and   will continue so.
As I have remarked before, the proposition submitted by the Board of Education for additional .'school facili¬ ties was voted down not because the voters were oppos^tl to additional schnoi facilities, but because they did not 'cigiee with the Board of Education as to the method of obtaining these This was not the slightest reflection upon the Board of Education, but showed that the people of Freeport take a deep intere.st in their school af¬ fairs, which is one of the best signs which coulA be desired as to the con¬ tinuing growth of our schools.

Ion Fne^ Im m Pi|i tl
I do not want my readers to think that I like to brag, but I would like to ask them if they noti.ce that the Re¬ view has many items of Freeport news that no other paper has. For in¬ stance, in our last iasue, the item we had about the Grove Street trolley was the only one that was correct. The Review was the only paper that had any item about the ice plant in Free- port, and the only paper that had a correct report of the annual school meeting. The papers published in a neighboring village, which pretend to cover Freeport news, had nothing about this at all.
MISS ROSALIE JONES.
Our genial editorial friend of the Bulletin fell for it when the charming hiker, General Rosalie Jones, invaded his sanctum. Even though he is a Democrat we suspect he is about ready to shout "Give the women the ballot," for ne says that if any person living could induce the men folk in the Bulle¬ tin office to walk in a suffrage parade that person is Mias Jones. The editor ' isn't alone in his capitulation, if he i actually has capitulated, for we know ¦ others who surrendered at firat encoun-: ter with General Jones. But all jok-1 ing aside, the quiet and business-like i demeanor of the women of Miss Jones' ¦ caliber are liable to win more adher-1 ents to their cause than all the window-; smashing brigades ever organized.
—Eagle.
We quite agree with the above. Miss Jones has been a welcome visitor at the Review office, and will do more for the cause in which ahe is working so hard, than a dozen militant suffrag¬ ettes, better known as law breakers, in England. Miss Jones has been in Freeport several times, in connection with the work in which she is engaged, and is now actively working on the pa¬ rade which is to be held May 24.
TRIM YOUR TREES. It is time you trimmed your trees, if the limbs are too low over the side¬ walks or roadway. Neglecting to do this, you will receive official orders from the street department to attend to the work, and if you do not then do so, the village will do it at your ex¬ pense.
Memoriai Service

Mrs. Scholey has received word from tlie officials of the church that they did not leam of the death of Dr. Scholey in time to send any appropriate token of thair grief before the funeral, and had arranged for this service as a prop er expression of tbeir love for tlieir former pastor.
Dr. Sdioley was in charge of this charch frum 1901 to 1906, and waa the pnstor there at the time be met and niMTied Mrs. Scboley, in 1908.
