Warner Attacks National and State Administrations
Tiie ipeaking at the Harding-Cool' 'Idge Club Friday evening wa« excep- f^U'jnally good. Mrs. Hazel Warner gS. State Committee, Henry J. Ryan, •Sailor" Ryan, whg cam- in^ with Coolidge, and Hon. Leone K HoweU, Surrogate of Nassaa Coon- f, were the speakers of the evening.
Mrs. Hazel Warner Mra. Warner started her remarks ^th the story of an old Irish woman, \\io was going to vote for Mr. Repub- lin this year because Mr. Democrat mded too much Uke the Democracy It we have been having. 'Democracy is often linked with } Democrats," she said. "The Gov- sment ia not a place in Washington Albany, it is tne peojile. I do not tant to speak on Wilson or the Leagfue ~ Nations this evening; let. the dead •t. On November 2 the death rat- of the League will be heard all the nation, because it has a bad »rt.
"If we had signed the document our uys would have been doing police in Belgium, Russia and other Duhtries. Wilson was asked whether be League would prevent that and he Bplied that it would not, but that it jponld bring .about a discussion before war. Our boys will have to leave again unless you watch your step, that metins, vote a straight 'Re- l>liean ticket." ..-
Attacica Governor Smith "When a man loses his manly in- incta he is but a Carcass, a thing, dat has Smith dbne for the convicts? Bowed to them, pardoned them, re¬ leased them. He is to blame for the holdups you read about, and he is to blame for the milk' and sugar situa¬ tion here in the State.
*I have come in personal contact rith Smith. He is rated as a 'good ¦Uow.' Maybe he is, but I expect a jian to rise when I come in a room rhere he is; I expect him to remove a "rar from the corner of his mouth I do not expect him to blow the soke in my face. That^s the kind of Smith is.
Could Ten a Lot "I could tell the women a lot if «y-were here alone, but let me say is, a lot depends upon the woman's did and if you vote for Smith, never Dk a real man in the face again. £v- vote is a death warrant for our 3g men.

FREEPORTHENUYS HALF POUND EGG
Prize Specimen Egg of Leghorn
Proaillyl Exhibits By Owner to
Admiring Neighbors
One of the largest hen's esrgs that has been seen in this locality for some time, was laid last week. It weighed a little over eight ounces, more than half a pound.
The hen that laid the heavy egg be¬ longs to John Baurmann of 455 South Grove street. She is.a Leghorn, and
Suffolk Lighting Company to forth¬ with make such changes, improve¬ ments and additions to its plant as will furnish sufficient, constant and adequate pressure at the burners of customers in Rockville Centre and in Freeport. The company is to rjotify the Commission in detail in 30 days what steps have been taken to comply with the order. '
The order was jinder four complaints made to the Commission by consumers in Rockville Centre and Freeport. Commissioner Barhite, the sitting commissioner, in a memorandum, says it appears that insufficient pressure is a condition which has prevailed to some extent for over a year, but it has grown worse until the customers of the company have sought relief. The company admits the poor pres¬ sure and explained that the trouble arises from the fact that the locality is, growing rapidly in the nuinber of customers seeking service and that its facilities have not been sufficient to take care of the load during meal hours. The Commissioner says:
"Only one conclusion can be drawn: The present situation must be correct¬ ed. Either larger or additional pipes must be laid, or if the trouble is in any degree caused by the presence of water then the water must be remov¬ ed and step^ taken to prevent^further troubla from that source. Danger from explosion and to the health and lives of residents of Freeport and Rock¬ ville Centre from causes which can be remedied must not be allowed to con¬ tinue. The company knows well what changes, improvements or additions are required; to it will ibe left the so¬ lution, but satisfactory results must be reached."

MOTORCYCLE COP AHACKEDON ROAD
'Assanlted By Three Men When He Attempts To Serve Ticket— ' Rescaed By Neighbors
Motorcycle Offlcer John Hahn was the victim of a brutal attack Sunday evening on the Merrick road, accord¬ ing to the police of Freeport.
He was trailing a car for speeding, about 7:00 o'clock in the evening, and ordered the driver to pull into the curb. As the car pulled over to the side of the road, it struck Bernard B. Schneider of Brooklyn, who was rid¬ ing a bicycle. The wheel was wrecked and the boy was examined by Dr. Hal- pin, who found several cuts and bruis es on him. After being treated, he went home by train.
Officer Attacked
In the car were Axel Hemming, his w^fe, Gustave Gullaksen and Mr. and Mrs. Erieksen, all of Brooklyn. As the car stopped and Hahn was vnrit- ing a summons, the three men leaped from the car and attacked him, aided and abetted by abuse from the occu¬ pants of the car. Hahn soon was get¬ ting the worst of the argument. The road was dark at that point and it is believed that he would have been killed had not timely interferencb ar¬ rived.
Neighbors To the Rescue
Arthur Nosworthy and Ray Whitta¬ ker heard the rumpus and went to the aid of Hahn, arriving just in good time to prevent a tragedy maybe. The but¬ tons had been torn off his uniform and it was rent in parts.
Capt. Hartman went there in a taxi and arrested all who were in the auto. Nosworthy and Whittaker had already brought two of them around to the station.
Heming was given a summons for reckless driving and speeding. Erick- son was charged with assault with the others, and Mrs. Selma Heming was charged with public intoxication and using vile language on the public .highway. She was very offensive in the court room and woijld not be quiet until locked up.
Released On Bail
All of them pleaded not guilty when arraigri'ed before Judge Johnson and were held in $500 bail each. Bail ar¬ rived about midnight and they were released. ^~-
The caso will liome up in court for a final hearing on October 29.

GAMBLERS FINED
$1,000 EACH
Basteed and Gideon Get Saspeaded
PrisoB Sentences, and
Pay Their Fines
David Gideon and William Busteed, the Nassau County gamblers who have been the central figures in the recent gambling cases before Judge Scud¬ der, were fined $1,000 each on Mon¬ day, and sentenced to six months in Sing Sing. The prison sentence was suspended and the fines were paid.
John Shaughnessy, who pleaded '''guilty to owning a gambling house in Lynbrook, was given a suspended sentence in view of the fact that he had aided the authorities in the inves¬ tigation.
One other $1,000 fine was imposed, several $500 and one $250, all of which were paid by employees of the various gambling houses.
HALLOWe'EN PARTY
The Jr. 0. U. A. M. of Freeport are going to have an old-fashioned Hal¬ lowe'en party in their lodge rooms on October 29. All the old games will be indulged in and members will be al¬ lowed, to invite their fi;iends, includ¬ ing ladies.
In the boxing exhibitions held at the Freeport Auditorium Monday ev¬ ening there was much dissatisfaction among the fans over the fact that the two preliminaries were farcical.
It was no fault of the management, however, who had done their best to arrange a good card.
In the final ten round bout, Billy Pranchini won the decision over John¬ nie Murray. It was Billy's fight all the way. ••»
In the semi-final, also a ten-round affair, Irish Paddy Flynn won over Ralph DeMott. Flynn was the clever¬ er of the two, but DeMott was too heavy to be hurt and did considerable hugging.
In the first preliminary between Frankie Conklin and Jo« Mate, Conk¬ lin was^ forced to quit in the second roundT>ecause of a sprained wrist. He was unable to use his right at all.
The second bout between Johnny McCormack and Packy Black did not last over two minutes. Packy sat down and was counted out.
Eddie Forbes of the Crescent A. G. was referee.
STORM WARNINg¥
On extremely stormy days it m'ay be advisable to not hold regular school sessions. In order that parents may know when this is to happen, the fal¬ lowing signals have been arranged:
1. One long blast of the home de¬ fense . whistle at 8:00 a. m. will an¬ nounce that there will be no session of school in the moming.
2. One lon^^ blast of the same whis¬ tle at 12:30 will announce that there will be no session of school in the afternoon.

A special train conveyed the delega¬ tion to Patchogue where it was met at the station by the Patchqgue Bills and a parade through the village streets followed.
Exalted Rulers Johnson and Ack¬ erly had been in consultation over the plans for the evening and as a result another blue ribbon hangs on the an¬ tlers of the old emblem.

Eight ''Big Time" Acts
On Biil-r^The House
Was Crowded
The inauguration of high elass vaudeville in Freeport took plaee at the Aaditorium Saturday evening when a really exceUent vaudeville bill of eight acts was presented.
Forty-eight houra before the per- formance the place was aa bare as a bam, and in that time a perfectly ap¬ pointed stage had been erected with modern lighting facilities, scenery, drops and dressing rooms; seats had been numbered and arranged, and the bare walls and rafters had been drap¬ ed in flowing garments that were most becoming.
It was a triumph for titose who lab¬ ored and burned the midnight oil for the results presented a charming pic¬ ture of a modern theatre. "Surprise" Show
It had been advertised that a sur¬ prise was in store for the first nilfht- ers, but nobody had any idea that the show was going to be what it turned out to be.
The one drawback to vaudeville ia the fact that the opening and closing ends of the bill are |iot considered good positions, and consequently the acts that fill them are not of the highest order.
Saturday evening from the drop of the hat, eight big-time. Palace The¬ atre vaudeville acta unfolded them- • selves, and there was not a dull' mo¬ ment on the prograth.
Old favoritea
Walter C. Kelley, known to all, was the headliner in a field of headliners. The Klein Brothers, Cartwell and Harris, and other well known acts were on the bill.
The management could not have chosen a better array of talent and a more pleasing one. The petty dis¬ comforts of a first night, when every¬ thing was strange to everyone, were soon forgotten and the applause that greeted the show w«b sincere and well merited.
Future Thought Of
In a brief spee«h, during the course of the program,'Jean Bedini stated that no expense had been spared nor would be spared, in order to make the shows the best that could be obtained, and that if,it were demonstrated that Freeport would patronize a first-class house, one would be built in the near future.
In the meantime Saturday evenings will be devoted to vaudeville of the highest order.
Show This Week
A most attractive bill has been se¬ cured for this week and while it is not possible to tell all of the acts as yet, it is assured that Gray and Graham and Al Hearn will appear.
Fred Gray is well known to Free- port and is an active member of the actors' colony. Both are big-time acts and popular with theatregoers.

EXPECT BIG VOTE
From present indications Nassaa County will poll*the largest vote this year that it has ever polled. Last year the vote was 61,000, but this year it is estimated that it will total over 60,000. The registration in the various districts has given rise to this conjecture.

The Rockville Centre firemen start¬ ed some flrema^ic contests Labor Day and did not hav^ an opportunity to finish them, so 'Cblumbus Day was named.

FREEPORTHENUYS HALF POUND EGG Prize Specimen Egg of Leghorn Proaillyl Exhibits By Owner to Admiring Neighbors One of the largest hen's esrgs that has been seen in this locality for some time, was laid last week. It weighed a little over eight ounces, more than half a pound. The hen that laid the heavy egg be¬ longs to John Baurmann of 455 South Grove street. She is.a Leghorn, and Suffolk Lighting Company to forth¬ with make such changes, improve¬ ments and additions to its plant as will furnish sufficient, constant and adequate pressure at the burners of customers in Rockville Centre and in Freeport. The company is to rjotify the Commission in detail in 30 days what steps have been taken to comply with the order. ' The order was jinder four complaints made to the Commission by consumers in Rockville Centre and Freeport. Commissioner Barhite, the sitting commissioner, in a memorandum, says it appears that insufficient pressure is a condition which has prevailed to some extent for over a year, but it has grown worse until the customers of the company have sought relief. The company admits the poor pres¬ sure and explained that the trouble arises from the fact that the locality is, growing rapidly in the nuinber of customers seeking service and that its facilities have not been sufficient to take care of the load during meal hours. The Commissioner says: "Only one conclusion can be drawn: The present situation must be correct¬ ed. Either larger or additional pipes must be laid, or if the trouble is in any degree caused by the presence of water then the water must be remov¬ ed and step^ taken to prevent^further troubla from that source. Danger from explosion and to the health and lives of residents of Freeport and Rock¬ ville Centre from causes which can be remedied must not be allowed to con¬ tinue. The company knows well what changes, improvements or additions are required; to it will ibe left the so¬ lution, but satisfactory results must be reached." KILLED AT R. R.
