V 'Outing WiU be a Reunion of the Warring Factions of the County Democracy
In accordanco with the time honor¬ ed custom of their aborigine tore- fethcrs, the Pequots, a well known tribe of Democrats will hold their third annual outing and "Feast of the Harvest Moon" on Saturday, Auguat 29ih. The celebration will take place at Finl^son's Hotel, and by .special arrangements, the kockville Centre Ball Fleld'wiU "belong" to the Tilbes- men during the afternoon and even¬ ing. -
Probably no function of lhl.s kind has^morc political Bignlflcanco than tthis annual outing of Pequots. Spe¬ cial Interest attaches to It this year, because of the recent events leading up to and following the appointment ¦"of Leader Henry P. Keith, ns Inter¬ nal Revenue Collector of tho JMrst New York District. It is the belief of Democrats generally, throughout the lown of Hempstead, tha| the out¬ ing win be in the nature of a reunion of the warrins factions of the county Democracy.
But politics, and this is the order' from the Council of SachemH, will be entirely eliminated from the discuR- fllons and pleasures of the trlboHnicn aud their friends. In fact, au elab¬ orate program of athletic sports, wlikh intluile a ball game, will begin ai 2.30 o'ciock.

Village Counsel, Francis G. Hooley of Rookvlll^ Centre, recently elected !o the Sciiool oBard by fifteen votea alter one of the most thoroughly con¬ tested elections l>eid in the village, lendeied his resignation as school trus¬ tee to tho Board of Education on Wed¬ nesday, August 19th.
Hardly had the counting flnished on thc night of the election tlian d^ the friends of Donald Fraser, the op-- ponent of .Mr. Hooley, protest tho elec¬ tion, challenging tho votes of several ot the citizens. Mr. Hooley vsubmlt- ted the decision to Wellington C. Mepham, district superintendent, **lio upon examining the records, conflrm- od his election, authorizing him to iske his iiosition'"' as sehool trustee.
At tho organization nieetlm,' on Tuesday evening^ .Mr. Hooley lesign- od, explaining his position lu this let¬ ter:
Dcat .Sir: .My resignation as a nu^tiiber of the Board of Educa¬ tion of Union Free School Dis¬ tiict No. 21, of the Town of Ilemp- pioiul, Nassau County. N. V., is lifr*b> tendered, to take effact iinn.cdiatoly.
II was will) considorable hesk li.iicy that 1 conseuiod to become a candidate for taht ottice inas- inucl- as pressing business duties demand the most of my time and I iio porfonuancos of the duiios of a school trustee would Involve i.ome saoriflce on my part.
In view of the issues that were injected into the campaign for that oflice and the bitterness with which the contest was waged, hav¬ ing no deslro to engage In auy unset nly scuffle for office and be- in,^' mindful of the fact that to be a successful ofllclal I should have t!ie undivided support of all of thc inhabitants of the district instead of {' bare majority; 1 feel that the Interests of the school district will be best subserved if I do not long¬ er continue to occupy the position to which I was elected and in wtiich I duly quallfled and acter at th^ meeting of the oBard of Education held on August 1«, 1914.
The conduct of the district meet¬ ing held on August 4, 1914, was in charge of those opposed to my election and the most charitable view of their acts is that they were ignorant of the procedure governing the coijduct of school meetings. The conduct of that meeting should be a reminder to the inhabitants that the education¬ al Interests of the district, involv¬ ing the exepnditure of upward of 40,000, should be conducted in an orderly #nd dignified manner.
Thii- step is taken by me after due consideration and with no re- Kri ts. but wilh a due appreciation of the cordial support of so many cilii«ns of liberal minds.
Tlio best interests of the school i.s tho prompting motive for my {ictlon and in view of all that taas laiipt ned it seems that my useful- n(*^» ns .i member of the Board of Eflucallou would be Impaired. 1 jiui sir.
The trustees will appoint a succeis- or to Mr. Ilooley at the next meeting. It hn£ been asserted that Donald Fra¬ ser, Ihe defeated candidate, will b'> nominated.

Lodi Corporatioli, Financed By Prominint Men, to Build Exclu¬ sive Hotel and Casino "
Following close upon the recent an¬ nouncement in the Herald of the pur¬ chase from the Long Beach Estates t)y the Lodi Corpoartion, comprising a group of prominent men, of two I'lmdred acres of land in the easterly nnd of Long Beach, L.

It was reported last week that a large hotel and casino are included among the improvements contemplat¬ ed.
Preliminary plans by Cross & Cross, architects, call for a hotel to contalli more than five hundred rooms, to cost about 11,000,000, which investment will be increased to approximately |2,- 000,000 by tho erection of a casino, cottages, bathing iSlvilion and other attractions.
Tho sit^ of the hoiel. cottages, ca¬ sino snd gardens will occupy an area of about twenty acres, overlooking the ocean and the golf cour.se.
liudoll Hecht, secretary and.treas- u:fr of the Lodi Corporation, Is au¬ thority for tho statoment that negotia¬ tions for obtaining the necessary cap¬ ital are well under way; also that it is expected construction work on the new project will be started In the au¬ tumn, or not later than next spring, so that thc hotel may be ready for Its opening the latter part of 1915. It will be operated by a subsidiary com¬ pany fiS a year round resort.
In addition to the 200 acres now ownf^d by the coi^oration, an option lias been obtained on 500 acres imme- diatcly adjoining tbe exercising of which will increase tbe area to 700 acres.

The avowed pur- po'-o o« the bill is to relieve distress in the silver mining industry.
Mr Burton of Ohio, and .Mr. Brls- lo-A, of Kansas, oBe a regular and the other a radical RepubUcan, protested that the legislation was discrimina¬ tory, but Mr. Shafrotb of Colorado, a Bryan Democrat, insisted tbat the Governmeat, owing to its need of sub¬ sidiary coins, bad a special interest in maintaining the silver market.

Probably one of the most daring and desperate robberies attempted on I,ong Island was frustrated about 11.30 p. ra. on Wednesday night, August 19, by the unusual, strength and keen presence of mind ot Mrs. Margaret Morris of Douglasston. wbo had only came the day before to spend severtU weeka at Dr.Fred^rlck Keeler's New Thought Institute, at Baldwin.
Mrs. Morris, who was occupying a room on the ground tloor, was awak¬ ened by the ' footsteps of a mau in room. Before she could realize what wiaf being attempted she was grabbed arround the nook and throttled. !3he resisted the thief and despite the or¬ ders of the man outside "to shoot her," gained her feet. Drawing a bludgeon ber assailant struck her on the hoad and fled through a window. By this time the whole household tiad bi'on awakened by her shrecks.
The Freeport Police Station was notified anh constable Thomas Mur- my and special deputy sheriff. Archer B. Wallace assigned to the case. Dr. Runcle of Freepori was called to dress the severe scalp wound which had been Inflicted upon Mrs. Morris.
Hr.ving spent the greater pari ot the morning in an effort to locate the robbers the offlcers returned to Free- port with little success. As they pass¬ ed tbo depot however, Murray noticed two men auspiciously prnwiing about the SUtlon. He nuUQed desk man, Bortrum S«anian. and officers Elmer Paynor unrt Francis Smitli started out wilh the others toward the depot.
Tne nioiiient iho prawlers caught ."ilght of the police llii-y started to¬ ward the t-ast. Oihcor Raynor called Im tbetu to halt. This thoy did and woio at once placed under ariest and Iniien to the txillcc station. I'pon the way over to tho police station, officer Rayroi noticed that one of tho men, f.inll Pt<-rno. diopped something heavy in the grass, wliich upon u thorough search he found to be h .38 c:alibro je- volver.
> thorough search of the men was made al once. Emlle Plonio, alias Willlam.Burns of iSr. West 33rd street. New York City had in his possession JtOT, a bunch of skeleton keys and cartridges. Roscoe Norton Ills com¬ panion had on his person a loaded .32 calibre revolver and a bunch of skeleton keys. The men were ibcked up on th« cbarge of carrying con¬ cealed "^weapons to be arraigned be¬ fore acting Police Justice, Coroden Norton that morning at nine o'cloek.
Tbere was no doubt in the minds of the offlcers that those men commit¬ ted tbe assault in Baldwin. Roscoe Norton, tbe weaker of the two men, was put through a severe cross ex¬ amination and flnally after three hoiu-a lijade a complete confession.
He said "that late in tbe afternoon of thc 18th he and Pierne had gone to Jersey Cily. That Plerne *4th ftv* dollars had purchased two revoKera and the cartridges, and that they had started for Baldwin on the 7.10 train witb the full Intent and purpose of robbing tbe hon^e of Frederick Keel¬ er." *
