Not Required  to  Pay
More Until P.S.C.
Changes Rate
At the meeting of the Village Board held Wednesday evening, the predom- V ^ iaant question discussed was the re- F  \'cent  raise in  gas  rates,    S. J. Dun- p^avy of 92 Elliot place, appeared be- ^lore the Board and stated that he had been at the public hearing before Coip- missioner   Barheit,   held   Wednesday morning in New York.
He requested the Board to have aome one circulate petitions among the people in order that signed petitions may be placed before the Public Ser¬ vice Commission at its next hearing, and he offered to take an active share in seeing that names were affixed to aaid petitions. As a result of the ap- i pearance of Mr. Dunleavy, petitions ¦will be drawn up and placed in prom¬ inent places where people may sign them as a protest against the raise in rates and the meter charge of one dol¬ lar. Petitions will be found at the Vil¬ lage office, the office of Clarence A. Edwards and prominent stores along Main street.
In the meantime the people of Free- port are still protected by the old in¬ junction and are not required to pay more than $1.40 for gas until such a time as the Public Service Commission Wrhanges the rate.    This decision was iftanded  down by the Apellate Divis- ^ton on Wednesday and the Gas Com¬ pany's case was argued by Hon. Luke D. Stapleton, who was Associate Jus
LONG BEACH POPUUR
Police Chief Lifts Ban On One Piece Suita—Girls  To  Go  StockinglesH
FREEPORT POLICE DEPARTMENT
In a spirit of reckless abandon and desire for atmonpherc the proper au¬ thorities at Long Beach have let it be known that from new on a smile and a one piece bathing suit will be about all they'll require of young women and girls who go bathing there. Long Beach thinks it about time some one gave the girls their way, and at pre¬ cisely noon no other than Pat Tracy, Chief of Police, called off what cen¬ sorship there had been and notified all concerned.
Speaking later and informally. Chief Tracy said his men would continue guarding the beach against objection¬ able persons and bathing dresses. He added then that his men would have instructions not to bar the one piece suits so long as they were not inde¬ cent.
"In seven words," said the Chief, "the sky's the limit within proper bounds."
It was not generally believed that the officials will have great difficulty in obtaining enough cops to see that conditions along the beach continue Pf- they should.

L appear for them, the Gas Company was not favored. Two weeks have been allowed for the filing of petitions.
Arthur G. Peacock, representing the Long Island Traction Co., appeared before the Board in reference to the ]t- uneven competition they are forced f to undergo with busses. He stated that the busses have all the advant¬ age in that they are unrestricted and unregulated and urged the village to take measures to force the busses to apply for franchises, the same as any common carrier. W. 0. Wood, presi¬ dent of the company, supplemented the remarks of Mr. Peacock.
The Board received the trolley prop¬ osition favorably and instructed the village counsel to prepare a resolution making Section 26 of the Transporta¬ tion Law, apply to Freeport. This states that bus lines must apply for franchises the same as trolley lines.
Upon request of the ftre chief, Clar¬ ence A. Williams, the Board voted to extend an invitation to the New York \State   Firemen's   Association  to  hold ms 1921 Convention here. f   Stephen  P.  Pettit appeared  before ^the Board and demanded that action be taken against the Freeport Trolley Co.  for  the  violation  of their fran¬ chise, and a motion was made by Trus¬ tee Maxson, and seconded, that the vil¬ lage counsel take action in the name of the village against the Freeport Rail¬ road for violation of franchise. _
A larger transformer for Main St. will be insUlled, thereby doing away with the danger of any more lightless Satunday nights.

Captain John Hartmann of the po¬ lice department was instructed to en¬ force the village ordinance about signs and merchandise on the sidewalks. Sev¬ eral other matters were disposed of before the meeting was adjourned.
BENEFIT SHOflT
FOR TEMPLE
/
Hebrew  CoafrefstioB Has Made Elaborate Plans For Big Per¬ fomaace  Aagnst Srd
The benefit performance to be given by members of the Ladies' Auxiliary at the American Theatre on the even¬ ing of August 3 for the benefit of the Hebrew Congregation for the erection of a temple in Freeport, promises to be as good as any show that has been seen here this summer. The standard is high, for the generous people of Woodcleft have loaned their talent on morej than one occasion and have pro¬ duced entertainments that were as Sood as could be seen anywhere, and etter, for the reason that ordinarily • it would be impossible to get the same array of talent on the same bill.
Members of the actor's colony have agreed to come to the front again in aid of the temple and the result is bound to be entertaining to the high¬ eat degree.
Plans are also being made by the
Hebrew Congregation, for the laying
-'of the comerstene of the Temple in
August, and elaborate ceremonlea will
t observed.
The offlcers cf the Ladies' Auxili¬ ary are as follows: Mrs. Moses Fel¬ tenstein, president; Mrs. Albert Free- mai^, vice president; Mrs. I. Miller, sectetary; Mrs, Edvrard Kegel, treas¬ urer.
The committee on arrangements for
the show is comprised of the follow-
inc ladies:    Mrs. A. Puck, chairman;
l||ra. Freeman, Mrs. Markheim, Mrs.
Fwrim Parks.
Jublicity  committee:   Mrs.   Nathan leas, chairman;     Mrs.    Appleton, Mrs, Mark Levy, Mrs. I. Meyer.

$1,000 ROBBERY
INJALDWIN
Borglars Steal Liberty Bonds and
Jeweky While The Family
Are Motoring
The residence of Herman Sessler, 108 Thomas avenue, Baldwin, was en¬ tered and robbed Saturday evening of $1,000 in jewelry and Liberty Bonds, between 8:30 and 11:00 o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Sessler and family were out motoring for the evening and returning about 11:00 o'clock they found the house in absolute confusion. Every room had been ransacked com¬ pletely, with the exception of the son's who has only been out of the army a little over a year.
The only trace of the robbers was a useless revolver, left behind, which was found in a closet on a shelf and laid so that the muzzle pointed di¬ rectly towards whoever opened the door.
It was found that the thieves had entered the house through the laun¬ dry window and must have been ac¬ quainted with the plans of the family, for they evidently made entry soon after they had gone. The house was thoroughly gone over, and they even stopped to drink a bottle of wine and eat a half a watermelon.
Besides $700 in Liberty Bonds, sev¬ eral pieces of jewelry were taken, in¬ cluding the baby's ring, Mr, Sessler, who is Grand Regent of the Royal Ar¬ canum Lodge, had been presented with a jeweled insignia, which was also stolen.
A case of "real stuff" was com¬ pletely overlooked, which leads some people to believe that the robbery was committed by youthful yeggs whose ideas of values are still embryonic.
A definite date for the first perform¬ ance has not been set as yet, but it will be some time in August, and be¬ sides a full orchestra, the cast will probably number nearly one hundred, and they will present the last word in minstreldom.

Last Thursday evening Freeport Lodge had an explorers' class initia¬ tion in honor of Franklin G. Hill, Past Exalted Ruler and many members were present who went through dur¬ ing his term of office, 1914-1915, Fifty members of Patchogue Lodge No, 1223 with their Exalted Ruler, E, R. Ack¬ ley, and officers, had charge of the in¬ itiatory work, and did it splendidly. Eleven candidates were put tbrough and twenty-seven applications were re¬ ceived.
Most of these applications were due to the good work of John Morris and Dr. W. C. Wild of Rockville Centre, and a committee of Rockville Centre men has been appointed to arrange for a Rockville Centre night, which will be the fourth Thursday in Sep¬ tember.

Camp life at Camp Monowotuck, the Long Island unit of the Y. W. C. A., situated at picturesque Port Jefferson, has been enjoyed by a large number of grammar school girls these past two weeks. The following Freeport girls have been there: Miss Edna Hanna, one of the camp leaders; Jessie Pat¬ rick, Lavone Hanna, Dorothy Clark, all councilors; Dorothy White, Flor¬ ence Moore, Katherine Boiler, Helen Weyant, Lucy Baker, Louise Holland, Alberta Verity, Elizabeth Verity. Mar¬ gery Hatfield, Enid Witmer and Aud¬ rey Vogel.
Miller place where the camp is sit¬ uated, is just out of Port Jefferson and within easy access to bathing beaches. The north shore in the vi¬ cinity of Port Jefferson is famed for its beauty and the quaint little town with its bustling shipyard affords a place of interest for the girls to visit.
The hills are ever beautiful in the four seasons, and in the summer time there are plenty of young people about, for the shores abound in camps for boys and girls.
The Y. W. C. A. has obtained a ten¬ nis court for part time use in Free- port and any girls who are interested may get particulars from the Y. W. C. A. rooms at 34 South Grove street.  « —

Dr. and Mrs. Frank Torek of New York were drinng to their summer cottage on Wantagh Canal in Wan¬ tagh last Saturday and while crossing the Queensborough Bridge, their lim¬ ousine was run into from the rear by another large car. The glass 'm the windows was shattered and Mrs. To¬ rek was cut about the face so badly that she had to be taken to the Len¬ ox Hills Hospital, where her wounds were sewn up.
The winning streak that has taken possession of the Freeport A, A. base¬ ball team was still in evidence Satur¬ day when the.v trimmed the Water¬ man A. C. for their seventh sU'aight victory.
The score was six to two and the game was replete with good playing. Black clouds were in evidence but they cast no dampet on the large crowd that lined the diamond. Water¬ man did not score until the seventh, when   they made their only runs.
Next Saturday the boys will play the   strengthened   Atlantic   Nationals

Jeremiah O. Wood, of Nassau Coun¬ ty was designated for Lieutenant- Governor on the first ballot.

J, A. Cook of Ulster named Senator Charles W. Dalton for the recommen¬ dation for Lieutenant Governor and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt named Jeremiah Wood, Republican County > Chairman of Nassau, Wood won, the vote being:    Wood, 610; Dalton, 492.
Francis M. Hugo, Secretary of State, who contended in the conven¬ tion for its recommendation, after hav¬ ing been defeated by Mr. Miller., an¬ nounced he would stick by his original intention to go before the enrolled Re¬ publicans in the primaries. Former Senator Elon R. Brown, at the in¬ stance of the Jefferson County dele¬ gation, had moved to make the Miller recommendation unanimous, but Hugo declared no one from his county has a:iy right to speak for him.
The other candidatea have acquisced cheerfully in the action of the Repub¬ lican representatives here.
An entire State ticket was recom¬ mended by the convention. This is the first time Republicans have taken such action since the direct primary law wfnt into ecect in this State. The Democrats did it two years ago and el¬ ected  their candidate for Governor.
Although it had been hoped that a recommended ticket would obviate a primary fight, the prospect is that Thompson and Hugo will make a hot campaign. However, the leaders are satisfied tonight that they have name 1 a winning ticket.
P^lon R. Brown, former president pro tem. of the Senate, responded when Jefferson County was called. He placed the name of Secretary Hugo before the convention.
"He has in this convention more de¬ voted adherents who desire his nomin¬ ation for Governor than any other candidate," said Mr, Brown. "Nomin¬ ate him and he will get a better vote than any other marr that you can name."
A demonstration followed the men¬ tion of Secretary Hugo's name.
Judge George H. Furman of Suf¬ folk, who came forward to second the nomination, warned against coercion or the use of the steam roller.
"Get out of the way of a man whom the people want," he admonished the convention.

Mrs. Marrgaret Hunt, twenty-five years old, who was visiting Mrs, Welsh of High Hill Beach was saved from : drowning Sunday by Henry Walters; of Seaford. |
Mrs.   Hunt  was  in  bathing  in  the I early aftemoon and had gone beyond ) the second  line of breakers.    Realiz- j ing that she was in danger, she stert-1 ed  to  scream  and  two  male  friends went to her assistence.    She obteined a hold on one of the men and was tek- ing him down with her when he was forced to knock her unconscious in or¬ der to break the hold.    It was with difficulty that the two men made their way back to the beach.
Henry Walters, who witnessed the occurrence from the beach, went to the rescue and soon had Mrs. Hunt safely on land.
Members of the Coast Guard Sta¬ tion took charge of the first aid treat¬ ment and sent for Dr. Newton of Bell¬ more. "They stated that the surf was the highest that has been seen for some time, but in spite of it, Walters succeeded in effecting a rescue and saving the life of Mrs. Hunt.
