'impossible'' Says Traction Head-Roose-
velt WiUing to Take Chances on Bus»
TroUey or Bus Quarter Hourly
The public hearing on the bus ques-f tion held in the village offlce Friday evening, brought about no immediate result* or relief, in fact it ended as it had begun.
W. O. Wood, supermtendent of the Long Island Traction Company, repre¬ sented that company, Ernest Zabel of Hempstead represented the busses and the public was represented by E. S. Benham and S. J. Dunleavy of Free- port and W. T. Smith, president ofthe Boosevelt civic Association.
The object of the meeting was to de¬ termine whether the Village Board ¦hould pass a resolution that would bring the busses under section 26 of the Transportation Law which states tiiat all common carriers should be regulated.
Mr. Wood did not repeat the state¬ ments made previously, relative to the financial standing of the company, but he stated that conditions were stead¬ ily growing worse and that the com¬ pany could not possibly increase their aervice at the present time.   "We are

"It is a question of  Cheshire staying in business rather than a ques¬ tion of increasing our present service." Public Heard From S. J. Donleavy and  E. S. Benham, who both live outside the territory af¬ fected  by  the  busses  urged  that the ¦¦- trolley put in a fifteen minute service at least for several hours in the morn¬ ing and the same in the afternoon. On being told that it was  impossible at the present time, Mr. Donleavy stated that he would take the matter to the Public  Service Commission and force the issue.   Mr. Wood ofTered to supply him witli information and facts to pre¬ sent before the Commission.
Rooeevelt Heard From
W. T. Smith of Roosevelt stated that people in his village were in favor of having the busses, as they depended upon Freeport for stores, etc. He stated that Roosevelt had tried to make satisfactory arrangements with the trolley company but that nothing had been accomplished. "Take the busses away and you will leave us at the mercy of the trolley," he said. Busses Defense
The busses average $17 a day, and in the case of Roosevelt one of the bus owners, Arthur Ritmer, has several customers for a morning train and has been carrjnng them by getting up at five o'clock. There is no car at that tttne and these forty or more people In Roosevelt depend upon him to meet their train. The bus drivers admitted, however, that they did go to Brook¬ lyn during the strike, and there was nothing to indicate that they would not go anywhere else where they could increase their revenue.
Public's View
"The trolley company has stated that the loss entailed by them on ac¬ count of the bus competition amounts to ?24,000 n year. If the Village of Freeport should return this money to you Mr. Wood, by abolishing the buss¬ es, what increased service would the public eot from that added revenue?" asked Ur. Dunleavy. "We all admit that the busses ought to be bonded and (Continued on Page 12)

A hearing was held before Judge Neu in Lynbrook, Wednesday mom¬ ing of the men who have* been arrest¬ ed in the case of the assault on Pelice Offlcer Arthur Smith on the moming of September 20, and also the recent burglaries.
The men who have been rounded up by the police since the affair are Ed- — ward Powell of South Grove street, Claus Brandrup of North Merrick, Richard Thamm of Merrick and Geo. Rich of F'reeport.
They wer* arrested on infonnation and belief both in connection with tho Smith assault and the recent robber¬ ies in Freeport. All were sent to Mineola and lodged in jail after hav- f ing their bail fixed at $5,000.
Hearing Sent Back to Freeport
When the hearing came before Judge Neu in Lynbrook Wednesday Lawyers Harry CSock and George Levy, of Freeport, who are appearing for three of the four men, asked for a dismissal of the case on the grounda that Judge Neu had no jurisdiction in the matter. At the time of the arrests he police magistrate of Freeport could not be found.
Judge Neu denied the motion to dis¬ miss the case on the ground that if . he had no authority to hear it he had no authority to dismiss it, and he turned the proceedings back to Judgo Albin Johnson. The hearing will be held in Freeport on October 7, at which time another postponement is looked for unless the injured officer is able to appear and testify.
Smith Improving
The reports from Rockville Centro show that Officer Smith is improving all the time. X-rays were made of his head and neck, but the findings have not been made public.
The $5,000 bail of the suspects has been reduced to $2,000 in each caso and the men have been retumed to Mineola Jail to await the next hearing.
Sanford A. Davisson of the District -Attorney's office acted for the prose¬ cution.
Further Arrests
In connection with the grand lar¬ ceny end of the proceedings the Brook¬ lyn police, upon infonaation from # Freeport arrested Walter Cornell, who was formerly a resident here. He waived examination and is being held for the Grand Jury.
"More arrests will follow shortly," said Capt. John Hartman of the local force. Various clues and leads havo been run down and are about ready for action, as the police have not been idle since the burglaries occurred. Still a Mystery
The whole aspect of the Smith as¬ sault is still a mystery as nothing au¬ thentic that really bears on the case has been made public as yet. "The di¬ rect testimony of the officer when he is able to appear in court will do much towards establishing a cage so far as the assault end of it is concerned. Jfhe larceny end is another story and will be brought out before the Grand Jury if not before.
MINEOLA FAIR CLOSES A WEEK OF GLORY AND SUCCESS
of 1920 will be characterized as the "bestest ever" until 1921 comes along and breaks ^e record again.
Itacing and Horse Show
Some of the best blooded stock of horsedom was shown at the horse shox\, ridden and driven by people whose names are familiar to the Who's Who Book, but the horses would have been just as beautiful rid¬ den and driven by anyone else, as it was a horse show and not a society exhibition.
The ever fascinating sight of the speeding trotters and pacers proved to be a mecca of a great many all during the week, and some fast horses dlipped several records during the meet.
Wins Prizes
Williani E. Crevoiserat of Freeport exhibited twelve Single Comb Buff Leghorns, competing in four different classes. His birds were awarded the blue ribbon in each class, the full awards bei{ig: First cock, first, sec¬ ond and third hen, first, third, fourth and fifth cockerel, first, third and fourth pullet. Except for the break made by the war Mr: Crevoiserat has exhibiteid his Buff Leghorns at Mine¬ ola every year since 1907, winning a fuH share of the awards each season.

Freeport    Man    Wins Many Prizes for Rab¬ bits—Racing Good
The seventy-eighth annual fair held at Mineola ended in a blaze of glory Saturday, aftIr a week of elorious v(eather. Ballyhooers and barkers silently folded their tents and stole away, and gay banners depicting what was not on the inside were hauled down and sent to the next place on the circuit.
C. Q. Niles of Pine street, Freeport, who raises blooded rabbits for a past- time, had eighteen entries in the fair and came away with five first prizes, five second and three thirds. Liveljc Midway
The midway was one of the biggest attractions that they had. "Aerial Bowling," a new novifelty designed to separate the uninitiated from his dimes, proved a source of great enter¬ tainment to many. A questionable show entitled "Shimmy Land," was al¬ lowed to run just long enough for the management of the fair to receive several complaints, and was then mado to close. '—-
Children'a Day
F'riday was children's day, all day long, and many kiddies from all u' er the Island took advantage of Uw r/on- derful weather and the maiy attrac¬ tions of the Fair
A feature of the day was the exhi¬ bition by the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scout Band from Baldwin gave a con¬ cert in the aftemoon and the variuus troops %vent through scout stunts, (iiri Scouts there were in plenty as well, and they added bright color t<;> .an al¬ ready colorful picturV.
Other Diversiena
For the home loving women, God bless 'em, there were all the latest methods in canning, exhibitions of needle work, household appliances, etc. For the man on the farm there were many new farm tools, including a method of sawint; your winter wood with the old Henry, a system of sew¬ erage disposal, applicable to private houses, and many other things.
Blessed with € week of perfect weatheri splendid management, aod the best array of exhibits and racing that Mineola has ever seen, tlie fair
