AlthouKh the need of additional ac cuinodationa for the school children of Eaat Rockaway haa been recognized for a long time, it was not until the women of the village figuratively took iT!ir"bull by the horna on Tuesday fv«:nlng at a special iiieetinK of tin- school dlHtrlrt that proviaion waa ac¬ tually made and an appropriation vot¬ ed to cover the coat of an addition to the present building. The meeting waa the third that has conaidered a proposition to erect a building or ad¬ dition. On the former occasions the men were the Inatigatora.
The reault of the meeting is <!on- sid«M«-d a decided victory for the wo¬ men of Kaat Itockaway, even though they were not able to carry their ap¬ propriation in ils original form. When fhey aaked for a special meeting be¬ fore which would be submitted theii flrat propoaltlon for |15,000 for the purpose of building an addition to the school houae of aufflcient size to ac¬ comodate three new claas rooms, bul they prepared to meet the adverse sentiment by a second proposition for an appropriation of |3,000 for the pur¬ pose of converting tlie basement ol the present building into an assembly hall.
liefore the meeting convened, il waa apparent to the women that there would be a more or less formidable oppoaition to their program of pro¬ cedure. The kindeigarten room on the first tloor was filled to overflow¬ ing; the lire escapes and window U'dgea were decorated with the formK of villagers. It is estimated that there were between 2O0 and :iOO per sons present.
During tho early discussion.';, more than once there were protests from Ihe fire escapes and windows. But fbe voicea were hardly audible above the din of the crowded little room and after a time many of those who could not get inaide went home. It waa apparent from the tenor of Ihe remarks that the propoaltlon foi ?1 S.¬ OOO could not be carried. "^
Cyrenua W. Lent, a member of the Board of Education waa chairman of the meeting, and Edwin C. Wright, a Rockville eCntre lawyer, was present to represent the authorities. Walter Johnson, who headed a delegation from the aouthem end of the village, led the oppositioa against the flrat propoaltlon, but before a vote had been taken a counter proposition tiad been placed before tbe meeting. It was for an appropriation of |8,000, an amount aufflcient to cover the coat of bulldiuK a auitable addition of two rooma and the converalon of three of the other clnaaea Into a general aa¬ sembly by cutting through the walls and placing alidlng doors between, which, when opened, will make a room of aufflcient size and aeating capacity to accomodate a majority of the achol- lara.
This motion was carried by a vote of 100 to 27. Tlie meeting by this time bad dwindled down to a few more than tboae who were able to cast ibelr votea. The remainder were divided on lue fire eacapes and win¬ dows, where it was Impossible to be heard. The voting waa done by the aye and na method-
For the proposition to build an ad¬ dition Mrs. A. J. Edwards, President of the School Improvement League; Mra. C. W. Lent, Mrs. Martin Sack- man and Mrs. A. A. Crary spftke. They were a committee appointed to frame the proposiUon. The oppoallton made It8 arguments on the likelihood of In- creksed t&xes and tbe cost of the im. provement. One man said tbat the amount waa too much and another tbat the addtUonal room was not ne- ceasary.
But the women were persistent. They came to the nieetinK prepared to meet any emergehcy. An architect's plan for the propoaed sew wing was ¦bown among those who were Inter- Mt«d MMUidi to lo«)t at It and oth*r
Convicted of Reckless Driving in | Automobile Last Sunday
I.ouis Bender, a hiitrher of South Main street, Kreeport, waa fined |5 by Police Justice Clinton M. Flint on Wedneaday erening for reckless driv- ing in an automobile. The charge was made by Policeman John J. Dunbar.
According to the charge of Dunbar, Hender waa driving west on the Mer¬ rick road on Sunday afternoon and turned north into Main atreet, disre¬ garding bis instructions in naaking the turn. The car waa beaded for tbe of¬ flcer who stepped aaide to avoid ft and cllmt)ed on the running board and ar- reated the butcher. The car hit an automobile owned by Thomas St. John Haldwin, proprietor of the Long Island Homemade Bread Company, which was standing at the curb, damaging it slightly.
The specific chareg again.st Bender was that he violated the "Rules of thc road" as defined in the Motor Vehicle f.aw.    He paid  the fine.
THRin THE BASIS OF NEW ROCKVILLE CENTRE CLUB
No Officers,   No  Constitution  and
No By-Laws For Organization to
Encourage  People  to   Save
The latest addition to clubdom in Uockville Cenire was organized this morning, without regard to parliamen¬ tary procedure, without a constitu¬ tion and without bylaws. The extent of its membership while not definite¬ ly known at present ia certain to in¬ clude many residenta of that village as well as others, for the fundamental basis of Ihis unique organization is thrift. The organization is to have no officers and its government will be vested entirely in its individual mem¬ bers. It is to be called the Christmas Club, an appellation not entirely aig¬ niflcant of its varied purposes.
This newest society is to be devoted to the encouragement of saving among the people of Rockville Centre and its contiguous surroundings. According lo the announcement of its birth, it will be a aort of subsidiary organiza¬ tion to the Bank of Rockville Centre, which will act as its treasurer for a given period. Any resident of Long Island may become a member by de¬ positing something each week upon Ihc understanding thnt it will not be withdrawn until December 18.
The requirements of membership are not exacting. aCndidates will be reoeived upon aplication accompanied by a deposit of twenty-five cents, flf¬ ty cents or a dollar a week. Dues may be paid between Monday and .Saturday or in advance at the dis¬ cretion of the members. No aaaeas- mcnts will be levied. There will be no club house and no meetings except the informal meeting between mem¬ bers aud clerks at the biink who have been  designated to receive dues.
In a measure the club ia a benefit. It will continue aa a Rockville Centre institution only until December 18. when the entire amount of dues de¬ posited by each member will be re¬ turned. To the various gradea of members the bank will make refunds according to the amounts of their de¬ posits.
The idea of the Cbrlatmaa Club, while not entirely new, is an innova¬ tion in Rockville Centre, if not on Long Island. It waa Incepted by a Manhattanite some five or aix yeara ago, and has alnce been advanced with conalderabie auccesa. A sa meana of providing a snug fund for Christmas it haa no equal. Meipbers are oblig ed to keep up their dues and receive all they have put In before the club diabanda at a time wben tbe Yuletide aplrit envelops folka everywhere.
Thoae who do not dealre to with¬ draw their aavlngs at the end of the allotted time, are in a fair way to open a fair aized bank account. "To become a member of the Christmas Club is to start on tbe band wagon 'Frugality' along the road to wealth," ia the way one of the charter mem- liera puts 1^.   "I'm on the front seat"

While John W, Holliday, a Roose Vfit contractor, denied emphatically that be Intenda to press a legal ac¬ tion agalnat J. W. Vol!nier, whose au¬ tomobile he chopped to pieces last Tuesday after he had expelled its owner from his bome on Craig avenue, lie admitted yesterday that he had a detctive on hia formei boarder'a trail alnce the incident. The alueth aa well as Holliday believe that Vollmer is living seclusion somewhere in the reighborhood of Roosevelt,
The trouble in the Holliday home came as an aftermath to donieatic d':-putea which, it ia understood, re¬ sulted from the presence of Vollmer in the house. He had been friendly with Mra. Holliday for over a year, it is alleged, and littie more than aix weeks ago came to bor.rd in the Craig avenue house.
When Holliday returned lo hia home 00 Tueaday evening he was convinced tbat the friendahip that exiated be¬ tween hia wife and her boarder was not wholesome. He ordered Vollmer from the house. Mrs, Holliday and the boarder turned to him, he says, and threatened that tliey would send Lim to an insane asylum. Upon hear¬ ing tbis Holliday ran to the cellar where he found a heavy axe. He re¬ turned to the room where he had left Vollmer, but he was gone.
Holliday rushed into the yard where he found Vollmer's automobile. He atarted to chop it to pieces, hacking first at the top of the tonneau and then dismantling the engine and cut¬ ting the tires. Vollmer had escaped and has not been aeon aince.
Mrs. Holliday left the same even¬ ing and is still living apaprt from her husband with her nine-year-old daugh¬ ter. Myrtle. They are said Jo be stop- p.'ng ol fhe home of relative,4 here. Holliday believes and hops ahe will return. He says he will receive her with open arms.

BETTER NAIL SERVICE ON LONG ISLAND
Pennsylvania  Station  to   Become Transfer Point on Monday
Beginning Monday, Auguat 3rd, the Poat Office Department of the Long Island Railroad will change the aya- 'em of handling the United Staten mail, -which heretofore has been mov- f.d to and from Long Island iCty. The mail will be handled to and from the Pennaylvania Station and the United States Post Oftice at Sth avenue and 3?rd atreet. The mall cars will run •hrough to the Pennaylvania Station. Tnere will be through aervice to Port Wft'liington, to Far Rockaway Branch 'vlonfauk, Oreenoptr and transfer aer¬ vice to ail other points.
The United Statea Post Office De- nartment, represented by Superinten¬ dent Norrls of the Railway Mail Ser- V ice and his staff, consisting of Aasis- lant SuperinCtendent Barker and Chief Clerk Campbell, and President P(:tera and his staff, bave been nego- t.aling this service for two years, and tlirough the efforts of Superintendent Norrls, and the co-operation of Prea- i;jent Peters, the aiTangements have fmnlly been made.
This means a great deal to Lonj,' Island as It makes a quick tranafer of mall from all polnta of tbe country and should facilitate the movement of mail to and from the Island by several hours.
This change representa a mass of detail which the ordinary person would not believe.
Baptist Church Grounds Improved . Although Tbe Nassau Poat haa told in a previous U.iue about the improved oondiUoD of th.» lawna at the Baptist i|t jg o„jy Church on South Grove street, Free-
-Mrs. Ldna Buckman Kearns. form¬ erly a resident of Rockville Centre and onco a leader in tbe Naaaau Coun¬ ty Suffrage (Uub, has inlore.sted her¬ aolf in Ihe Carman-Uailey murder mys- tny, which for more than a month has occupied considerable space in the newspapers of the world. Her \iews of the case aa set forth in a letter to a local newspaper, while a bit radical, come aa the flrat expres- aion of opinion from a woman. She makes a strong defense of Mrs. Car¬ man.
Her letter reads in pari as follows:
"Aa no man is willing to be tried unless by a jury of his peers, I am wondering tbat no woman should be tried except by a jury of her peers (which are women.)
"So many women think women wouldn't be just to a woman on trial. Then again many people argue that tVould would be too lenient if they were jurors. However, even the ar¬ gument that women h.aven't time to be on a jury was proven false—for I read in a New York daily that at the Coroner's court at the Freeport mur¬ der case, the room was crowded with women.
"Do you supjjo.'je a i;,.in would fctand being tried by a woman coroner, ar¬ rested by a woman sheriff, hounded by a woman diatrict attorney, tried by a woman Judge and a woman jury?
"There lan't a man alive in America who would atand for it. Vet, here ,ve have a woman, a neighbor we might say, in thia century and in this supposedly civilized country being tried with a woman (who under¬ stands her own sex and the woman's viewpoint, impulses, desires, etc.) lo lelp her in her trial.
"Do you suppo.se a woman district i.tloriiey would count as evidence such a stateriunt as 1 read in a New York dally ihai "Mra. C. came into the kitchen (supposedly after the murder was con-mltted) and gave orders for tJie houFehold for the next day." etc. ff that n< wspaper report of the state¬ ment of the colored maid is true, any Ji.ry of women or any woman who lliinks at all, wilV.**!! you that no wo- uan except a hardened criminal conld calmly give ordera for the houae.
"Now a man may be able to kill and give orders for hia bualnesa. eic, qiiietly and calmly.
"But as I say, I wouldn't believe it right foi me to judge a man. I do nut undci atand thera any more than they do ua.
"I do rof wonder at the wave of in- dignaton which spread over the cor¬ oner's court when he ordered the "Ijadies" (as he so ihivaliousl} called them) out
"Isn't It absurd when we realize that nearly two-thlrda ot the taxpayers of the town of Hempstead are women, why they had more rights in the court room than the men. In the second place a woman (one of their own sex and a neighbor) was being iried and Mwe sho couldn't ha\e a Jury of her peers (women) ihen the next best thint' was to have women spectatois.
".\ won:an needs her own kind as a men needs and gets his own kind. If the women had been votera no of¬ ticial would have dared fo say that the "Ladles muat leave the room." We must make our county officials realize that we women are also The People and as the people pay them their wag- Thcy must have more respect for The People.
"They must rememl>er that even If the women don't vote aa yet, still wo¬ men as part of 'The People object to a man-prchy in Nassau County.
"Why  can't men realize  how tbey would feel if the tables were turned, ustice we ask for."

Mrs. Veritzan Held in $1000 Bail to Await Action of Grand Jury After Hearing on Thursday -Promise to "Tell AH" if Authorities Would be Easy Most Damaging Testimony Against Her
Though there was nothing in the evidence to show tbat ahe had inti¬ mate knowledge of the fact that the gooda brought into her home on Mor¬ ris avenue were stolen. Mra. Hilda Vritzan, wife of Amos Veritzan, one of the three Rockville Centre polit einen charged   with   burglary,   was     herself

morning to await the action of the Grand Jury, She is at present occu- pying a cell in tbe ."Nassau County jail where her husband and RUlof Pe¬ terson, the confessed lobber, are awaiting trial.
Mrs. Veritzan hud appeared in the sensational case almost since ll waa exploded on th unsuspecting public of Rockville Centre a week ago on Wedneaday, It was al her lioine thai the authorities centered their atten¬ tions prior to the arrest of Veritzan and Petersen, and after quizzing her learned of the presence of much of the property stolen from homes in the village and vicinity by the police.
She waa almoat immediately placed under suapicion, and when preased for information concerning the crimea of the police ia quoted as saying, "If the authorities will not be so hard on me I will tell all." This was brought out by the prosecution at the hearing on Thursday, and il was largely upon it that the caae was pressed against the policeman's wife.
Assiatant District Atiorney Charh's Weeks represented the Stale at the hearing, while former assistant Dis¬ trict Attorney Charles T McCarthy and Timothy O'Callaglian looked at- Two witnesses were called by the peo pie. They were Arnold Husser, thf .Merrick road storekeeper whose store was looted on May 17, and Rulof Pe¬ tersen, whose confeaaion of the rob- (•ery implicates eVritzan and Krank V.icks, now released in $4,000 ball.
.Mrs. Veritzan was not allowed to I est iiy by her counsel. At the con- ilusion of the State's caae her aitoi- m-vs moved for her dismissal upon the uroiiiid thai tho evidence was in- hUffii'ieiit to substantiate the charge. The motion wa.s denied by .fustice Wriiiht,
Husser on the stand retold the story of the robbery and matched wits with l.,a\vyer O'Callaphan during his cross examiiialion. The attorney for Mrs, Veritzan questioned the truth of stale- lueiif.B made in an affidavit of the store keeper concerning hia losses and it was brought out that he (Huaacr) wiis the manager and not the owner of the dry gooda emporium. He told of ttie conversation with Mrs Veritzan with aCptain Carty, one of the Board of Trustees, In his hearing, during wliieli the policeman's wife gav? ut- te'-hnce 10 the declaration that she would tell all if the authorities would not be hard on her.
Who Husser was aaked about the atlidavit from which the firat chargea were framed, a sullen atillne.ss per¬ vaded the crowded, ill ventilated Vil¬ lage Office, on .Merrick road, which, since last Wednesday morning, haa been used as a courtroom. The pre- siiirlng throngs craned their necka forward. But Ilusaer made no retort until after the attornel had pointedly Insinuated thai he was a purgerer. Tlien ho spoke and the Assiatant Dis¬ trict Attorney and the court were bis chumpions. Weeks took exception lo tbe methods of l-awyer O'Callaghan and Justice Wright insisted that ()'- callaghan refrain from such expostu- iutions unless he was able to submit proof to substantiate them. Follow- i'l'; this McC'arthy conducted the cro--8 examination of tho witneas for
purcha.ses of dres.ses from him which she desired to send to "the old coun¬ try," A slip of paper upou which an address aa written was shown to* the oflicer and he idontifled it as Swedish. Mrs. Veritzan is from that country. He could not identify the handwrit¬ ing he said.
After Petersen bad told his siory, he was questioned closely by Lawyer -McC^arthy (onceruins his pat life, but the court instructed him of hia rights and he was obliged lo answer ques¬ tions that did not bear upon the direct issues involved in the case.
There was a decidedly hunicrous side to the hearing that lasted well through the morning, and Husser was responsible for it. When he was ask¬ ed the value of the goods that wero stolen from his store lie said they were worth something in the neighbor¬ hood of $300 or $400.
"Are you  sure you're not  guessing
about  the amount?" asked McCarthy.
"Veil."  replied  Husser    in     broken
English, "i wouldn't loose anything if
1 got that  for them."
The courtroom shook with the spon¬ taneous  laughtf-r of  the  crowds.
Still later when Petersen was on the stand he was shown several pairs of ho.se and asked if he recognized llieni as silk hose that were taken from th Husser store,
"They're not silk hose," replied thc confessed burglar, "they arc nothing but   mercerized."
If Mr.s. Veritzan knew thai the goods that were brought into her home by tlie messengers of Peterson were stolen, she did not know it until the night after they had boon stored there, il is said, for when she foinid out that they had been taken from the Uockville Centre dry goods slore she at once asked that they be taken out. This, according to the state¬ ments of witnesses, her husband re¬ fused  to do.
It has been learned that the early Investigations of the robbry of tho Husser store were conducted by op- eratfVb,s of Detective William J, liurns. who came to Rockville Centre al Ihe request of Husser himaelf. Two of these men spent several days in and about the village, and at the conclu¬ sion of their work submitted a lengthy statement of their operations. They hfd paid a visit to the Village Presi¬ dent. Dr. D. N. Bulson and othera in¬ terested in tho case, bnt their conclu¬ sions exonerated the police. Accord¬ ing to the staiemeni the man reapon- slble for the robbery wa.s at that time in the Mineola jail doing time. Hus¬ ser had this report before the arrest of the police.
It has also been learned that Verit¬ zan was arrested before for bouao breaking and was committed to tho Elniira Reformatory where he served eighteen months His release waa due to the efforts of the Rev| William H Hamilton of tho South Third Street Kplacopal Chunh, Brooklyn He w^ also diamla.sed from the RcK-kville Centre police force'by President Rich- enatoen.
The housose of other officers of the village have beon searchd, but noth¬ ing In the way of atolen goods baa been found. It is not exi>ected that there will be any further arresta.
.\t sometime in the future, the date being yet indefinite or at least vague, Miss Anita Miller, one of th» two charming daughters of Mr. and Mrs Kdward .Miller. Jr., of Roae street, Froeport, will l)ocome the bride of Donald Jackaon. of Paris, who recent¬ ly completed his studies at Otford University, England, after a career ae a football player which made him known throughout continental Europe. The nupiials will terminate one of the protUost romances that haa been chronicled through  thc  public  prints.
Miss Miller and Jack.son met a year ago in August in the ball roon« of the South Shore Yacht Club overlooking Randall Bay, Kreeport. Tbe meeting was not moro than an incident of tbe evening. .Miss Miller waa a member of a puny of young people; Jackaon w;>.'- the guest gf Herbert W. Clock, who, like himself, waa a .student at the Kngiish university and equally fam- ouf as an athlete. They wero togeth¬ er in the ball room and during the inttrim heuveen dancea watched the waves from an upper porch of the prrfentious clubhou.se, as thoy played in the lotlectlona of a full harvest moon.
Just what part cupid played in the evening's events, if, indeed, he played anv, Miss Miller declined to atato yes¬ terday, but beforo tho cloae of the month, a secret pact was entered into between the two and early in Sop- tember Jackaon left Freoport to re¬ turn to Kngland and to Oxfonl
Throughout the fall and winter, long after Ihe harvost moon that shone on that evening at the yacht club was gone, lettera from Kieeport and lot- lira from Kngland passed and repaas- eil on tlio high seas. And when the scat^on of romance and budding flow¬ ers rolUid around there was a notable ir crease in the correspondence, much of which was devoted to aweet remin¬ iscences.
But the secret was kept, and might not now be out wero it not for a dis- co\ery which was niadt^ less than a month ago. Miss Mllloi may have on- dvavorod to further secrete tho facts concerning her forthcoming marriage, 01 at least to refrain from a mention of it. but a sparkling solitaire on the thud finger of the left hand, ono that had come across from England, be¬ trayed her.
And now Miss Miller ia waiting for the return of her betrothed. Ho is expected to bo back from the capitoi city of Franco iu the coming month, perhaps on the same day that he met the strikingly pretty Freeport girl at the yacht club dance a year ago. He haa won now laurels on the athletic fleld and his return will aoo his flrst victory in love, Jackson is the son ol Dr. Jackson, a well known physi- <-ian tu I.,o Rochelle, France,
