The disturbed martial affairs of John Holliday are about to be settled. .1. W. Vollmer, who has a boarded Itoosevelt household was in a meas ure rt'BiJonslhle for the latest friction. if Hbout to drop out of sixht and Mrs. Holliday has Dronilsed to come back. And that i.i not all, Holliday has giv en asKuranccK that lie will repair thc atitomohile he backed io piev^s with an axe a fortniiRht ago on Tuesday, fol- luwing a .scene in bis home on Craij; avenue.
This rather remarkable stat»' of al- fulrs, according to Holliday himself, came about through a visit to Bay onne, N. J., which the lonesome hus¬ band made to his disappearing wife And the whole affair was settled then and there.    But there was conditions.
.Mrs. Holliday positively will not re turn to her domieila until the publi< has ceased to discuss the most receni occurrence there. Indeed, she will not return until the newspapers, all of tliiin, hav .mopped piliitlnn sKhIiv, aboul herself, her husband and everj one else who figured in the "affair," On the contrary it is her intention to rfiain away in New .lersey where she Vvill not be disturbed further.
While he did not say so, the an- noun(-ement of Holliday that matters Wf re in a fair way lo be mended with¬ in the coming week, was doubtless made in the hope that newspapers would conclude their comment about his affairs -with the article. It seemed to thoae with whom he has discussed this latest turn, that he looked with tavor upon tho idea of having the last stoiy one that concluded with "and they lived happily every after."
Hut "there nre yet obstacles. The automobile is in a frightful condition . and never would be recognized if seen on the street by its owner. And after il has been repaired it must be turned ovei to Vollmer, and he must (if th'ngs are to run along smoothly) keep it away from the holiday wheu '.Mrs.  Holliday returns—forever.
In the meantime, Holliday is sta>- ing at the home of Charles Edwards, on upper .Main street, where he will remain until Mrs. Holliday is satisfled that Ihere are to be no more new.s¬ paper stories about her.

HERE'S A HEN THAT'S A MOTHER TO SEVEN KlHENS'i

And Family is  Doing  Well—How
Kittens  Got  There ?   Ah.   Ask
Charles Edwards
Nobody will dispute the fact that it is almost unusual thing for a hen to ti( t as a mother to a litter ot kittens. liUt there is plenty of room for argu¬ ment as to just how good a mother it could be. all conditions being equal. For. of roiiise, the kittens have to eat mui unfortunately they cannot pick up worms or hreiid crumbs in their bills, ¦(8use they haven't got any.
Admitting all this, there Is some question as to just how long a little seven of the dearest kittens that ever were, are going to survive on the kind of food, which is brought pre- jiared for their delicate stomachs by a maternal barred Plymouth Rock hen V Inch is occupying the flrst floor front of n coop in the barn yard of (Charles Mwards, up Roosevelt way.
Vot they are .all apparently happy, o.r were until late yesterday afternoon, when reporters were allowed to take a peep ovr the wire fense. There was • ho hen, fumnig and fretting over her nest, and thre were th kittens wining beneath her wings. How they got thfre no one can lell and few would venture to guess.
The discovery was made by Mr. Ed¬ wards himself as he was about to feed 1 is brood the other day. He knew Ihfic were eggs beneath the wings of the hen, and was aware that she was a bit dissappointed that they had not hatched out before. He felt for the hen It was his intention to remove th" eggs and cast them away. He lilted her from the nest and—lo. there were Ihe kittens.
The whole thing is so unreal that it •nust be said here that the story is given as it was told. And to that may be added the statement that the kit- (t^ns have actually been seen, their heads peeping out from under the wings of .Mrs. Hen.

William VV. Cameron, the Freeport contracforvs, involved with two others hy the charges of fifteen-year old .Marietta Sinlth. of Roosevlt, through his council ex-Justice Evlin N. Ed¬ wards, put in his defense at a hearing before Justice of the ePace Corodon Norton in the rFeeport oCurthouse this morning. Five witnesses were called to testify as to his whereabouts ] on the day he is alleged to have t>een in the home of James Farrell at Bald win alone with the child. Three of them were his own: the others were Sheriff Stephen P. Pettit and under Sheriff Walter Raynoi,
At .he comlusion of the case Cam¬ eron himself was called to tho stand by his counsel. He denied that he knew the Smith girl and swore that jho had uever been inside the Farrell home. On one occasion, he said he had been to the door to borrow an axe, t)ul had reiurned al once to Brook- side and Seaman avenues wiicie lie was at work on the roadway.
Despite the testimony, of Cameron, it was brought out by Assistant Dis¬ trict Weeks, who appeared for the prosecution, that tho conraclor and former chief of the Freeport flre de¬ partment, knew Mrs. Matilda'Brandau, a sister of Bert Farrell, who is held also on a serious charge, and that he had been heard to call her "Tilly. Witnesses stated at a former hearing that Cameron had heen a visitor at the Farrell home with his aged om th¬ er, while the Smith girl was living there, and that flowers had been given lo them by the family. Mr. ('anieron, it is said, told her son to give them twenty-five cenl.-?, and that he had done so.
The hearing today was given over almost entirely to the defense. The State's case was completed on Mon¬ day. Samuel Smith, Mike Cullins and M. McCarthy, all of them employees of aCmeron told on the stand that he come to Brookside avenue where they were at work on the road at about 8.30 each morning and had left at or about 10 o'clock to return home for a change of clothing before going to Belmont Park or Piping Rock wnere he was serving in tho capacity of De¬ puty Sherift. One of the men related the incident of th borrowing of the axe
Sheriff Peittit as a witness display¬ ed several records cards which showed that Cameron had been at work for Ihe county as a deputy continuously from May 2'J to June 1,1. The Sher¬ ift wa-s ill at home at this lime, but Walter Raynor, the under sheirff, tes- litied as to the accuracy of the rec- 01 ds. He al.so said that he had seen Came-on on each day during the time he was at work lor the county.

Dispute V.ilidity of Lynbrook Meeting Despite the fact thai a nunihei of voters left the meeting with the im¬ pression thai they had exercised their full duties, a third ballot taken at the annual school meeting at Lynbrook last night materially altered the re¬ sult and for the first time in the his¬ tory of the district, a woman was elected to membership in Ihe Board of Education. If she was ^chosen il¬ legally, tbere is every probabilly that a new election will l>e asked for John C. Barrle. who wan defeated b.v ber has given notice of his Inientfou to enter a protest.
It appears that on tbe flrst ballot there were so many votes that it stag¬ gered the chairman. Remsen H. .Ship- way, as well as the secretary. Edward T. Talfor. So noses were counted, the result being that about 200 persons were found, probably 180 of which could vote. The number was little more tban a half ot tbe number tbat caat baUota on tbe flrat caU.
for two of the candidates. But the voters weie noi clearly aware as to whiil lliey should do, and when the votes were counU'd the figures wore amazing. Ai any rate Edward Mc¬ Nally. who is said to be ,£ti'>iiU'niljer o) the Hoard ot Kd IK a I ion in Manhattan, was first by a <oiiifoi table margin. John C. Barrle. was .second and .Mrs. Floience Dal-ston, was third and  last.
Before the discrepency was discov¬ ered many iieisoiis and some voters had left the louni. ll was suggested that in view of llie fact that the full meeting was not i)resent that Ihe meeting should be adjourned 'until some later date. Maximmillian Beck¬ er, arose and ottered a iesolution lo this effect, but belore it was placed befoie the meting there was an iinieiidnient madtv by VVJIllam Cami». bell, whiih called for a le-elocllon lorthwith. The ("ampbell amendiiieni was carried,
oh the .><econ(l ballot McNally re. ccived Iill voles. He succeeds on the Board of lOducalion, William C. A. liroweij who retired last night. Mrs. Dalston received an -even hundred votes against iJH i ,. ! arrie, who was a candidate for re-ele<iion.
The defeated candidnie claims that there were many persons at the uieel- iiig who'voted for him and left before the second ballot was taken. These, il i.K claimed, were deprived of Iheii righiK, The budget of over $2^,00(1 was unanimously passed.
200 Participate in Baldwin Meeting .More Ihan -00 persons participated in the annual school meeting at Bald¬ win last night. The budget of $20,000 was passed wiihout a dissenting Vote and two trustees^ were elected to membership on the Board of Educa¬ tion. The new members are C. M. Van Tassell and Charles L. Wheeler. Both will serve terms of three years. Thre was but one point upon which opinion was divided and that was con¬ cerning a proposition to appropriate $2,000 for the purpose of hiring con¬ veyances to carry children from thc outlying parts of the district to school, Henry Albers stood before Ihe meet¬ ing as one of the staunch advocates ol the proposition. He pointed out that it was only lair lo the childrctn thill a nieans of transportation should be provided for them, George M. Bode aud VV, B Smith were opposed to expending so large a sum of money for such a purpose, VVhen fhe pro¬ position was finally put lo a vote it was lost by a large majority.
At the conclusion of the meeting the board organized, Dr, William .wttell, was chosen as president. The other members, besides those elected last nlghi are William Man.nle and Edward ir. Triston.
Resigns at Clerk After His Election The Board of Education at East Rocakaway orgtinized In perfect peace and harmony, last night, and the bus¬ iness of Ibe evening would probably have been condurted without the least sembalnce of frlf lion, had it not been foi Ihe fact ihat lliere were two can¬ didates for the collector ship, one rep¬ resenting one element and tbe otber a moving spirit In tbe Civic Aaaociation.

When the members of BaldwUl Council of the Boy Scouts of Americ* will appear as hosts at a cake aod ice iream sale on the lawns of the bome of Wesley B. Siuitb. on Merrick road, on Saturday, they will prepare at on(e for their lirst trip carrying a Dew and complete camp equipment, and forsake, at least for tbe time be¬ ing, domestic ties for tbe open flelde in and aboul St. James, L. I. The function will havo a real signiflcance however, for it will serve the double purposes of exhibiting the new camp¬ ing outfit just as it will be set up over on the north shore and the proceeds from the sale of tbe cake and cream will go towaid completing the fund for its payment.
Probably nowhere on Long Island is there a troup of more enthusiastic Bo) Sl outs than Ibis one at Baldwin. The ranks and equipment are cniiu [ileie and the lads have beeu trained to a stag* which places them in a class by themselves In nearly every test in the fleld, on the road and in camp they have given excellent dem. onstiaiions of Iheir ability.

They all started as tender, foot, and advanced by stages to the rank of scout, 'and patrol leaders. .Many of them havti already been det- oi'ated for a<ls of bravery and elD- <'iency in service.
The troups is a sort of a subsidiary to a geneial «irganlzation in whfch prominent citizens of Bladwin have Interested theniselves. It was through Ihe oBifes of [.hese men that the com¬ iiany was abl to acquire its present camp outfit. 1'he men have acted as an advisory hoard lo the growing reg- {iinenl. They are born the executive brank  of the  council.
The ofll<ers of the council are: Henry Opperman, prehident; Frank E. Hurley, 1st vice prealdent; Dr. Willl- iam J, Steele. 2nd vice prealdent; Salvadore Sorrenliuo, :jrd vice presi¬ dent: William Biu('hhauser, 4th vice president; FYanklln S.
