>. Robert H. Earon Mentioned for a Place on the Freeport Board. ^
The annual school meetinfi^ tor the 'Meport District is scheduled to tlM place the flrat Tuesday evening May at which two members are to ehosun for the Board of Educa- ion to succeed Williani R. Grace, isigned, and David Sutherland, Jr., Itoae term is expiring?.
JNo candidates have appeared to ate, and but little dincuRsion has iken place relative to the cominK leeting.
The Nassau Post h^s heard it men- •ned that the placing of a womihi lember in the Board would be a good lea, inasmuch as women now have la full rights of citizenship without iract representation on tne board nd the schools have about .sixty wo- len teachers to whom.a^sepresenta- ye would be of advantage. A wo- lan member, it has also beeij pointed ot, would be of much advantajaje to lothers and girl pupils.
For i^'presentation on the board fom the women's ranks, the name of [rs. Robert H. P^aron, a South Side renue re.<iident, has been mentioned. [rs. Earon ha.s been active in suf- ras« work and other affairs pei:tain- _ to women in the village and is icogrnized as fully capable to ifill a osition on the school board.
Freeport never has elected a woman its Board of Education, although lore than one has been a candidate, expected with the next^'two eeks that the women of the village rill eet together and decide on a indidate to represent them directly the School Board.

The will of John A. Smith, wh^ died at Freeport on February 23, 1!)17, in hia ninety-fourth year, was declared valid by a jury in the Sur¬ rogate's Court ftt Mineola on Tues¬ day after testimony had been heard in aprobatc contest by his tWo sons, Abraham Lincoln Smitlj, of Freeport and Charles Smith of Baldwin.
They ns.serted that undue influence had been exerted upon their aged father and that he was not compe¬ tent to make his will. The nona¬ genarian bequeathed a life interest in $3,500 of his $10,000 estate to his eldest son, Alonzo R. Smith, and $100 outright. The other sons were be¬ queathed $100 each, a life interest in the residuary estate which is to be inherited .finally by their children and {grandchildren. They alsp are to inherit tlic life estate of the eld¬ est iSfiX, Alonzo Smith.
The jury which heard the testi¬ mony from a number of Smith's neignbors nnd friends that he always seemed rational in his talk and ac¬ tions and ahrsys conducted his basi- neS3 afTaira in a juH-.-ial manner, tie libciated only ten mintes beJore ar- rivinf; :»l a vciuict that the nona¬ genarian was of sound mind, under no re.-;traint when he made his will and that it v/as a valid instrument. The will is to be probated this week.

LEAN OYSTER SEASON HEARING ITS END
Grtmers IHscostraged by Reduce
ProfUs and Other Conditions-
Clammers Also "Blue.*'
The oyvter season i« nearly ended widi tbe planters and shippers of Freeport, Baldwin and othftr villages «l<mflr the south shore of Nassau County, and a majority of those en¬ gaged in the business are not sorry that the end is in sight. Few seasons hava afforded such lean pickings for the oystermen as the present one, the extremely cold, long Winter contribut¬ ing to set-backs along with the usual causes such as high priced seed, keen competition and frequent delays in payments for orders filled.
The industry; so far as individual growing and shhpping is conc3med, has been unprofitable for some years past, commencing with the increased csst of seed and the invasion of the so-called "oyster trust," a combina¬ tion of big shippers who sought to corner the trade market a^d thereby force the small oystermen out of bus¬ iness. That the move was in a great measure successful is illustrated by the reduced number of growers and shippers who found that they could no longer make any money and that there was small chance for them to obtain trade in New York City, a profitable oyster market for many years. Thev built up ^ good Philadel¬ phia trade but this is becoming lessen¬ ed according to reports so that more of the oystermen are becoming dis¬ couraged and are ready to quit.
Clamnriers also have been "up against it" for a number of years and they, like the oystermen, are "blue." Natural beds on the south side have become depleted and seed is so high that fxrofits are very small when the planters get their product to market, it is claimed.
Ice in the bays and creeks during the past Winter caused suspension of both clamming and oyatering for a lon-g period and inflicted a loss of many hundreds of dollars to the men who followed the industries. Oysters not planted on deep water beds were touciScd by anchor ice and large quan¬ tities killed.
Unless conditions as to seed prices, markets, etc., change soon there is a strong probability that both clam¬ ming and oystering by individuals will become obsolete industries in Freeport and adjacent territory.
HAROLD HUMPHREY ILL
Breaks Down Wken Working for Tke Govemmeid.
Hsrold J. Humphrey of Fre«port, who was in the employ of the U. S. Government as a chemist and exam¬ iner of foods, returned home from Flower Hospital, Manhattan, yester¬ day (Thursday) in what is regarded as a serious condition. He wa« tak«ii to the hospital last Sunday.
Mr. Humphrey is 23 yekrs of age, and during his service with the Gov- Vrnment was twice promoted. He was in line for a third advance when tak¬ en, ill several weeks ago with what appeared to he the grip. A consul¬ tation of physicians resulted in a de¬ cision that he was suffering from a serious malady. He rallied under treatment for a time, but recently showed signs of critical symptoms. It is believed .that his illness js due to a breakdown from overwork.

James Odell, age 61 yean, a reai¬ dent of Smithville South, and for¬ merly ita Postmaster, had a miracu¬ lous escape from death or serious injury last Saturday morning at the Bedford avenue crossing of the Long Island Railroad, east of the Bellmore station, when east-bound Amagan- aett express No. 8 hit an automobile bus he was driving.
The locomotive of the train, which was traveling at an estimated speed of over 60 miles an hour, wrecked the bus, hurled it against a bell sig¬ nal post at the crossing, and wedged Odell. He wa's assisted from the bus by persons who rushed to his aid, in a dazed condition and taken to the real estate office of John Ijowrey, op¬ posite the railroad station. Dr. Hen¬ ry V. Holcomb responded to a call for medical aid. He found Odell suf¬ fering considerably from shock, but without bruises and only a slight cut. Odell was taken home after he had partly revived from his dazed condi¬ tion.
