FREEPORT OYSTERS BEST
Unanimous Decision of State
Conservation Commission on
Tuesday at Session
"The best oysters produced in Long Island waters or along the Jersey coast are those found In Freeport waters" was the unanimous decision of the New York State Conservation Commission at the close of the hear¬ ing lield at their offices Tuesday after¬ noon. Lack of all hablUtlon along She was attended i t'l^ shore, and the prevailing high

Celia Says She Had Gun. She Asserted That She Was Ordered "Not to Tell Anybody". Mrs. Carman Alleged to Have Made Full Confession When She Knew Woman Wcis A Victim. Defense Springs Sur¬ prise.

by Mrs. Albert Moore, of New York, as matron ot honor, who was attired in Nile green satin, with green tulle tunic.
The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Frank X. Mulry of Law¬ rence. The ushers were Wiiiiam i<. Mulry, of New Y'ork; Henry MacDon¬ ald of Forest Hills; Albert Reed, New York; Edward Flannagan, of Brook¬ lyn; Joseph O'Connor, of New York, and Thomas Brogan, of New Jersey.
After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of Miss McGlynn. Friends and relatives from all sections were present to Oo honor to the occasion. After the fes¬ tivities the couple left for an extend¬ ed trip South. Upon their return they will reside at Lawrentw.
The church was artistically decorat¬ ed with ferns and palms, especially In the front about the altar. As the guests came into the church they were ushered to the left If friends of the bride and to the right if friends of the groom. The musical, program was very elaborate. Several vocal se¬ lections were rendered.
Promptly at high noon the six bridesmaids came from the front of the church and met the bride and her brother with the attendants at the rear of the church. Headed by the six ushers the procession marched down the isle amid the strains of the wedding march to the altar where they met the groom attended by the best man.
tides whicli insure an entire change of water over the beds twice every twenty-four hours were the reasons assigned for the excellent quality.
The meeting ot the Conservation Commission was occasioned by the re¬ cent controversy over the purity of Long Island waters. Samples of waters had been sent to Government and Stale offlcials for analysis. Wil¬ liam Patterson sent several bottles of bay water taken from directly over the oyster beds.
The reports, susUined by the Com¬ missioners, showed that during the months of December, January, Feb¬ ruary and March, it was absolutely all right to eat the Long Island grown oysters, those grown in Jamaica Bay. "The waters of .^the Hempstead Bay," said Dr. Herbert Pease, "are entirely above suspicion."
"Freeport's oyster fame is certainly coming true," said Mr. Patterson af¬ ter the meeting. "We cerUlnly can lay claim to J. Huyler Ellison's slogan, "The place that made the oyster fa¬ mous."

Bulletin Deacribing in Detail Sources of State Revenue
Director William J. Harris of the Census Bureau announces that a bulle¬ tin containing a digest of the laws relating to the revenue systems of the SUte and local governments has Iwen completed and Is ready fdr distrlbu- Uon.
The bulletin describes in detail the different sources ot revenue In each aUts, including general property, pool taxes, inheriunce tax, corporation
taxes, Income Ux, business taxes, li¬ censes and fees. In the case of the general proi)erty taxes it enummer- ates the classes of property subject to such Uxes, the methods of assess¬ ment, equalization and collection, and the statutory IlmiUtlons of the rates of such leirles.
The laws relating to taxation as shown by the bulletin bave undergone great changes since 1902, the date of the last previous report. Among the changes is the creation of numerous SUte tax commissions with wide dis¬ cretionary power orar the local of¬ ficials and full power orer the assess¬ ment of the property of corporaUon» doing business in two or more coun- Ues of the aame atate.
Considerably more like a recognized leader in Freepori society, sitting calmly and quietly in a drawing room watching the coming and going of her guests, than like a woman being tried for the slaying of another woman, Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman went before Justice Charles H. Kelby, in the Supreme Court at Mineola on Monday, and witnessed the selection ot twelve men who must determine whether she was responsible for the slaying of Mrs. Louise Bailey.
With cMupIacency matched by few other women in the long history of criminal trials, and with a repose and refinement of demeanor equalled only jy her own remarkable appearance at the time ot her flrst arrest, Mrs, Car¬ man saw Long Island justice eclipse records in the selection of the jurors who must decide her fate.
Within two hours after the conven¬ ing of Court, the flrst six of the jurors had been selected. Before the I adjourning of Court, at 4.45 p. m. the I jury box was fllled. The list of jurors in the order selected and some strik- I ing qualities is printed in full.
The opening address of District At¬ torney Lewis J. Smith at the opening of Court on Tuesday morning gave in deUil the plans of the prosecution. His slgniflcant statement was that he wtjuld prove beyond a doubt that Mrs. Carman committed the shooting In a jealous rage.
The second day of the Carman trial I went with a rush. And yet things ! were done in order. It was dispatch rather than hurry.
A composite of the jury so easily obUined, would be a man of about 40- 45 years, good, respecUble citizen, nothing striking In any way, and yet a mau of f»lr judgment, a man with wife, children, home and friends, and an assumed place in the community where he lives. He would be rather dark, of medium stature, fairly dressed, a fair sort of a juror.
The mellow autumnal sunshine streamed into the little courtroom and over an audience that might have gathered to listen to a lecture on etSJcs or the whlcherness of the wherewithal. The busy reporters seemed the only really Interested par¬ ties and they were there in numbers. Mrs. Carman was calm and cool, wilh chin held high and steady eyes. The high feather on her hat scarcely moved for seconds at a time. At limes she looked the audience over with calm indifference, as though they held nothing of interest to her. Her chief attention was given to the witness occupying the stand. Smiles were seen on many faces as if some pleasant occasion had called the audi¬ ence together. And once a little wave of laughter swept over the room when the trained nurse testified that Mrs. Carman came Into the office and slapped her and then slapped the doc¬ tor. The Judge sharply reprimanded the mirth produced and the trial went rapidly on.
The mother of Mrs. Lulu Bailey, the murdered woman, testified how her daughter left home on the faUI day and never returned alive. She identified a dress shown ber as the one her daughter wore that day.
District Attorney Smith certainly did not spare Mrs. Carman in his opening address and concluded with, "And in conclusion, we shall prove that Mrs. Carman flred the shot with the intent to kill, and that the motive was Jealousy."
The famous dictograph was resur¬ rected and in court, and attracted much attention. It was fully identi¬ fied by the men who insUiled it and Mrs. Carman's visit to the office, her arrangemenU for its installation, as already published. It was brought out that tbere were flve different ad¬ justments to tbe instrument, fltting it to receive sounds of different volume and intensity, and these adJustmenU
were under the control of the one listening at the receiver end. It was also developed that cerUin sounds In¬ terfered wilh successful transmission of low sounds such as whispers. Mu¬ sic would cause such an interference. "Would the notes of a piano have such an influence?"
"Yes, it would tend to." I
The officer told how he searched for the dictograph and. found it by the Continued on page 5

DUNHAM NORTON ADVANCED DR. BURR DIES IN NORWALK
Transferred to Municiful Depart- i Former Pastor of Freeport Pres- ment With Increased Salary I byterian Church for nine years
Judge and Mrs. Corodon Norton have recently received word from Panama of the promotion of their son, Dunbam W., from director, in charge of dredging scows in Gaton Lake, lo the Engineering Department of the Municipal Division. The posi¬ tion carries with it a proportionate increase in salary.
This is the second promotion of Mr. Norton since his arrival at Panama. The orders of transfer accomimnied with the cerllflcates of examination show that the pomoUons have been due to Mr. Norton's own ability and energy. In the examination which be took for the present position he at¬ tained a percenUge of 100.
Mr. Norton was well known in Wan¬ Ugh and in his recent success he will receive the well wishes of all his friends.
Rev. Marcus Burr died at Norwalk, Conn., last Thursday, aged 79 years. He was one of the early teachers in the Brooklyn public schools, before he began preparations for the minis¬ try. Immediately upon his gradua¬ tion from a Theological Seminary, he was insUlled as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this village, where he remained for nine years. He then went to Ocean Side, where he organized- a Presbytedan Society, erected a cburcb and built up a large parish.
On leaving Ocean Side, Mr. Burr returned to his native sUte, Connecti¬ cut, and had charge of difTerent parishes in that sUte to the time of his death. The Burr family are de- scendanU from one of the old New England families, from whicb be in¬ herited the sturdy qualities of eam-
Few Freeport real estate transac¬ tions within the last year or so have attracted as much attention as the one consumated last week by Samuel I T. Raynor, cashier of the local bank, ' in the sale of 22 feet front of tTic Martha Raynor property on Main street, for ?7,500. Tho price paid for i foot, 1340. is said to be the largest 'on record. The purchaser was Mor- ) ris Jacobson, who is already plan- : ning the construction of a modern ¦ shoe store with private dwelling I apartments.
I The pit of which the twenty-two j fees were a part represents the last I piece of private pror)erty in the old Raynor family on any business block in Freeport. The purchase was made some seventy-flve years ago for a in- finitesimally small sum when com¬ pared with the present price. The old white homestead, built on the property in 1864, just at the close ot the war, is as flrm and i»erhaps more substantial than some of the houses which are being constructed at the present lime.
Miss Raynor was very relucUnt to part with the small fronta'ge even at so high a rate having resided there since the construction of the old homestead. All ot her early life Is assoi iated with the memories of pleasanteries enjoyed at the family harth. From the windows she could look up and down the cross country road as Main street was then called and count the dwellings upon the fln¬ gera of her hands.

The reconstruction of the garage and salesroom of Jacob Post located on the corner of Olive Boulevard and Main street; and the entire reorgan¬ ization of the business upon a new liasis, immediately lo follow, marks very decidedly what may bo the be¬ ginning ol a new epoch not only in the automobile trade bufin the com¬ mercial and merchantile life of Free- port. Although ho may not realize the full signlflcance ot the change, Mr. Post is offering ono of tho best solu¬ tions to the high cost ot automobiiinN and netessarily the high cost of living. The entire system of credit will be abolished. There «/.i be a strict cash basis. Charge accounts will be abolished. Mechanical work must be paid for at the lime of completion. All automt>bile supplies, parts, and sun¬ dries will be sold only on this same ba.sis that which has been the 'bane' of business lite both for the seller and the buyer, will be ellmlnax- ed" said Mr, Post lo a rerrcscntailvo ot The Nassau Post. "Credit Is re- .•^pousible fpr moro business failures, (lisappnintments, and loss of friend¬ ships tlian any other creation ot man." "The reorganization of my business or any business upon these lines," continued Mr. Post," will permit of the greatest benelils to all. There will be no netossity for extensive systems ot bookkeepers or bookkeep¬ ing. (Joods can be purchased from the wholesalers and factories upon cash i)ayin('nt for from IG lo S.'') per cent, cheaper than when bought on a credit basis. The result; in figuring the reUil price, the cost of the book¬ keeping system can bo eliminated; the discount ot 15 to 35 per cent can bo saved."
".\ow what is going to be the re¬ sult of this system?" said Mr. Post enthusiastically, "First and foremost, wilh a strict cash basis, enabled to save from IU to 35 per cent In my purchasing, I can and am going to save my customers the same per cent on his purchases. I can sell him standard gasoline for 14 cents a gal¬ lon, dry cell batteries for la eenta apiece and other goods in the same proportion."
"But one of the greatest beneflU which I can give will be In the dis¬ couraging of extravagance and luxuri¬ ous expenditures. People have a ten¬ dency, now days, when they aro per¬ mitted lo "charge,;',^ to order. In the hope of expecUncy, twice as much as their means at the end of the month win permit them to pay. • It will stimulate people to llvo within their means. They will not buy more than they can pay tor. But what Is more, It will lead to the esUblisBment ot business relations helpful both to the seller and the buyer."
"Yes, I know that some garages have tried to Insist upon cash pay¬ ments, but they have tailed becau..* they refused to.give thoir customers tho just reward for the paying the cash at the time they purchased", the beneflt of the discounts and the sav¬ ing In the abolition of the bookkeep¬ ing systems. We must not forget that we have got lo deal fair with those to whom wo sell."
The building improvements and con¬ struction work will be completed within two weeks. Tho upper floor of the building will be made Into one of tho most complete supply rooms on Long Island. The lower part of the building will be devoted to the repairing, readjusting, an« storage of motor cars.
