WE WHL CALL AHD SEUTER PROMPTLY WITHOUT EXTRA CHAROE.
On the last night of their fair, July 5, Fire Company No. Z, court¬ eously extended their hospitality to the Merrick suffragists, and Miss Bernays of Lawrence spoke. A large audlence^fllled the hall on Camp ave¬ nue, and listened attentively to the sttbng argument In favor of votea for women.
Expressions of opinion from the "antls" were voiced by Mrs. Hamil¬ ton R. Fairfax, an excellent speaker, who caused considerable amusement by appealing to the voters of Mer¬ rick to avert the "calamity" of the franchise, on personal and neighbor¬ hood grounds. As the country is still traveling along in-spite of the "ca¬ lamitous" votes of some 4,000,000 women, the suffragists feel reason¬ ably sure that the intelligent voters of Merrick wlll not Ue strongly influ¬ enced by Illogical arguments.

A representative of'^ Tbe Nassau Post was on tbe,car and the first one to reach him and with the aid of others rushed Mr. Hopler tp the offlce of Dr. Harold M. French ou Mer¬ rick road. Examination showed he was badly cut about the head and ahouiders and from a superficial ex¬ amination it was thought hie shoul- der^^bladtt waa cruabed.
He waa taken to New Tork City by Thomas W. Kiley In an automobile. Mr. Hopler is quite prominent In Ma¬ sonic circles, being a Kni«ht Templar and a member of Kismet Shrine.
(S|iiLlal to The Nassau f'ost.) By JOHN N. FLEISCHER.
Nassau county will receive a greater proportion of State nppro- ]>rlations than heretofore as the re¬ sult of the settlement of the tax equal¬ ization suit brought by the town of Hempstead against the towns of Nortii Henipstead and Oyster Bay. This will be brought about because boards ot assessors in North Hemp¬ stead and Oyster Bay will increase the assessed valuations of real estate in these towns. The valuation will be increased 13.2 per cent, in Nortli Henipstead and 20.'2 in the town of Oysler Bay.
When the tax suit was settled it was agreed that the assessors in the town of Hempstead bad valued the real estate for assessment purposes in that town at 50 per cent, of the real value. When the settlement was made for the 1911 equalization this was tlie agreed value for Hempstead, and it was agreed that the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay had been ^assessed for 27.4 per cent, of the real value. The amount agred upon ia the difference between the 27.4 per cent, in the two northern towns and the od per cent, valuation in the town of Hempstead.
Ever since the litigation over the 1911 equalization was begun the as- aeesors in Noreb4i^:r>»tead have each year raised th«' assesaments so that when these offlcials value the real es¬ tate In that town on an equal basis with that of Hempstead, namely, 50 per cent., they will only be obliged to increase 13.2 per cent.
In the town of Oyster Bay, how¬ ever, the assessors wlll have to in¬ crease the valuation 20.2 per cent, to bring the property up to .">0 per cent of its actual value and upon an equal, basis with that of H&mpstead.
The Increase will, however, be of great beneflt eventually t^o the resi¬ dents of the county. It Is claimed. With the Increased assessed valua¬ tion a greater share of tbe State ap¬ propriations may be demanded. While the assessed valuation is greater it will result In a lower tax rate, as there will be a greater amount of- property on whicii taxes will be paid, and witb this increase and no in¬ creaae in the expenaea of the govern¬ ment, the tax rate will be necessarily lower.

BANDALL PITCHED BOTH GAMES IN GOOD STYLE.
The Freeport club team completely outclassed Rockville Centre on Satur¬ day last, taking both sections of a double-header. They won the flrst game Ti to 4, and also the night cap by the score of 12 to 4. Randall pitched both games and was invinc¬ ible. .
He showed such good form in the first game tbat Captain Storey pitch¬ ed him again in the second affair. In winning both games Freeport" forged ahead of Merrick and now enjoys the undisputed possession of second place. If their work In the earlier games had been as sharp and anappy as the form they displayed during the latter part of the season they would undoubtedly hare captured the i>«nnant, now vir¬ tually won by' tbe Rockville Centre team.

CARL KEMP HEDGED IN BY AUTOISTS HAS BUT ONE AL¬ TERNATIVE AND PREVENTS FATAL ACCIDENT BY COOL- HEArET' ACTION.
What might have resulted in a fatal acident for at least seven people was narrowly averted at Hay Shore last Monday by the presence of mind of Carl Komp wfro threw his new Tiiimbull car to one side of the road against a large tree but slightly In¬ juring Ills guests although the car was demolished.
Mr. Kremp and his guesls. Miss iMyrtle Gissell and her brother, Her¬ man, were riding east loward Islip about lv,-o o'clock in the afternoon. As they neared a narrow stretch in the road the trathc became congested. When Kemp started aliead, to pass a car in front, another car coming from the west dashed in front of hini.
There were but two alternatives, a full head-on collision leading to en- evitable death or an abrupt dash up against the tree. Kemp's presence of mind only saved the occupants of both cars.
Miss Gissel received a broken shoulder blade, a bruised face and a fractured arm. Mr. Gissel received a fracture ot the ankle. Mr. Kemp was uninjured. All are recovering
rapidly.

The amount agred upon ia the difference between the 27.4 per cent, in the two northern towns and the od per cent, valuation in the town of Hempstead. Ever since the litigation over the 1911 equalization was begun the as- aeesors in Noreb4i^:r>»tead have each year raised th«' assesaments so that when these offlcials value the real es¬ tate In that town on an equal basis with that of Hempstead, namely, 50 per cent., they will only be obliged to increase 13.2 per cent. In the town of Oyster Bay, how¬ ever, the assessors wlll have to in¬ crease the valuation 20.2 per cent, to bring the property up to.">0 per cent of its actual value and upon an equal, basis with that of H&mpstead. The Increase will, however, be of great beneflt eventually t^o the resi¬ dents of the county. It Is claimed. With the Increased assessed valua¬ tion a greater share of tbe State ap¬ propriations may be demanded. While the assessed valuation is greater it will result In a lower tax rate, as there will be a greater amount of- property on whicii taxes will be paid, and witb this increase and no in¬ creaae in the expenaea of the govern¬ ment, the tax rate will be necessarily lower.

They won the flrst game Ti to 4, and also the night cap by the score of 12 to 4. Randall pitched both games and was invinc¬ ible. . He showed such good form in the first game tbat Captain Storey pitch¬ ed him again in the second affair. In winning both games Freeport" forged ahead of Merrick and now enjoys the undisputed possession of second place. If their work In the earlier games had been as sharp and anappy as the form they displayed during the latter part of the season they would undoubtedly hare captured the i>«nnant, now vir¬ tually won by' tbe Rockville Centre team.
