(ias Bond Not filed. Trustee John.son called attention to n letter written to. a eonsumer by the ^as company stating that a bond of $2.').000 had been flled with the Village of Freeport in order to protect flte'cbn .suincr in case the present rates were lowf-riMl by the PutJic aervice Com mi.ssion.
It was iiointed out that no such bond h.ad ever Uoen filed wiUh the Village and the Vllla^l¦ Counse^ind Vlllnge Clerk were instructed ^^(communicate with the gas comp.ij^^and have them pub¬ licly ackno^edge tho error of their writteji.jtditement.
¥he matter of designating the official village paper wns next In order and caused some little comment on the part of various people present. Tru.stee Maxson said in part: "A new pnpi^r has started In Freeport and we are anxious to see them well established unJi .suc¬ cessful, but in view of the fact that the Oaily Review Is long established and that it is giving the village a daily news 'service, I am in favor of thut nowspariSr being designated, and nom¬ inate The Daily Review."
Trustee .lohn.son said in part: "The oftorts of James E. Stiles in establish¬ ing a c«unty newspaper with a dally Both'circulation deserve the greatest en dorsement, but we fiave a paper In the village that is essentially a Freeport Village paper, and I am in favor of the Freeport News und .so nonnlnate it as the 'official paper of tlie village."
President Christie stated that both papers were experiments and that the (luality of the Freeport News was of a high order.' He endorsed 4he nom ination of Trustee Johnson in favor of the Freeport News.
A ballot was taken and resulted in three votes for The Dally Review and two for the Freeport News.
Publisher John O'Neil made a .strong and well-worded plea for his enterprl.s- Ing little paper and asked whether the vote of a Board member who hud an Interest In either paper was legal.
He referred to Howard K. Pear.sall, who stated that he had no monetary Interest In the Review and that if his vote were not legal and subject to any dlssentlon; he would withdraw from voting. Village Coun.sel Clinton M. Flint ruled that inasmuch as Trustee I'earsall's Interest incurred no money value his vote stood.
Archer B. Wallace a.sked the Board whether or not it would be legal to appoint both papers as official, but the section of law applicable appeared to be again.st such a procedure.
Question of Appointments Drs W. H. Runcie and Gordon Lind¬ say had already applied for the appoint¬ ment of Health Ottlcer and a further application by Dr. Leo Halpin was re¬ ceived. Upon a vote. Dr. Runcie re¬ ceived four votes and Dr. Halpin one.
Trustee Johnson moved that Presi¬ dent Christie be appointed to serve in the capacity of Street (Commissioner until ono could be found, saying that a practical man was needed for the po¬ sition.. Clarence B. Williams, who was Street Commissioner last year, with¬ drew his application for reappointment in favor of a "practical man."
The plan of the Board is to select a Superintendent of Highways who will be Street 'Commissioner and head of the water and lighting systems. In the meantime the Pre.sldent will act. as chairman of the Street Committee.
KflUard F, Bond, who was asked whether he would assume jcharge of the steam roller said that he would not undertake the task except as Street Commts-sloner.
Some difficulty was experienced as to the RtatOfi of Clarence Wllllains, whose appointment held over until a succes¬ sor should be named, but the atm<>8. phere was oleitred when Mr. WHIIams appeared a«aln and resignfd.

WARlECRETARY
MAKES RECORD
FLIGHT HERE
Wainwright, Piloted by Capt. Ocher, Clips Ten Minutes Off Previous Time—So Impressed With Mitchel Field He WiU Rec¬ ommend Additional Appropria¬ tions For Its Development
Mineola, March 26.—Assistant Sorre- tary of War J. Mayhew Wainwright made a record flight by air from Boil¬ ing Field. Washington to Mitchel Field here In 1 hour and 23 minutes yester¬ day afternoon. The best previous time was 1 hour and 35 minutes.
Secretary Wnlnwright came in a De Haviland plane, such as is used In the regular army service nnd he was piloted by Capt. William Ocher, a regular army pilot. They were greeted here by Major A. J. Christie, command¬ er of the post, who escorted Secretary Walnwright on a tour of inspection of tho flying field.
The fliers arrived at Mitchel Field about 4 o'clock for the official visit and tour of inspection which Secretary Wnlnwright desired to make. He had Kcrvod as a Colonel In the World War and has always been much interested In the army and other branches of the United States service. That he waa Impressed by what he saw at Mitchel Field and that the earnestness of tho.se airmen there aroused in him a new ad¬ miration was evident.
Secretary Walnwrlght's homo Is in Westchester County and he was form¬ erly a State Senator from that section and he knows the whole territorj' of Nassau County. Long' Island and New York thoroughly. From this knowledge he asserted that the close proximity of Mitchel Field to New York City and the harbor was the best argument why Mitchel Field should be developed Into the largest aviation field in the country.
He declared that he would advocate additional appropriations for the devel¬ opment of thte field. He also pointed out that since New York City' was the principal port of entry all foreign repre¬ sentatives who came here to study or to Inpect our aviation forces would see Mitchel Field flrat. In which event It wa.^ Important to make the best I>os8lble showing to Impreits thero.
Secretary Walnwrlght spent the night with relatives in New York and today, with Ceptaln Oi-cher. he return¬ ed by air to Washington. eooEnElneeric efl

SM LKtt'OR PEHMI'C^ STOLEN
Hempstead. March 26. Evidently
searching for lionds or cash that may have l>een hidden awuy, burglars entered the home of M. I.ouis RuUman 54 Burr avenue, here yesterday and i-ansacked every place that might have been a hiding jilaie for such things..,' Fr.om tha fact that nothing of value was taken and from the additional Tact that the mariner of the search indi¬ cated a hunt for certain specific things, Charles Hansien, finger print expert of District Attorney Weeks' force ad¬ vances the theory that-the intruder or intruders were .searching for bonds or [<ash. Not knowing that Mr, Kullman is assistant manuger of the Chatham Sti'uare branch of the Corn Exchange Bank, of Manhattan, and does not leave cash and bonds tucked away In hiding places ut home, the burglars •oook a chance- on flpdlng the thing in their particiilar line and hunted thor- onghly but fruitlessly.
The burglary was done some time between 3 o'cItKk yesterday atternofin and 1 o'clock this morning.
It is pre.sumed that it was after night fall when the prowlers entered the house because the shades were drawn in the rooms that received the ilosest attention.
Mrs. Jlullnian .left her home about i o'i'Iock yesterday to join her huabana for the evening in New York. They returned home on n late train anJ found on their arrival that the front door was unlocked. A quick look In- ^ide and they saw that tlie second Iloor of the liou.se had been ninsacked. .Vothlng was distlurbed on the ground floor, in fact there was hardly evi- tWnce that anyone hud entered until the sleeping loonA were reached.
In the dining r«*m some silver coins left by Mrs. Rullman on the dining table were still undisturbed and some liquors in the cellerette were not even sampled. AH the table silver and vari¬ ous articles of vulue in the living room were as they had been left.
Upstairs there was a different story. Kvery bedroom In the house hud been searched. Beds wore pulled apart, mattresses turned over and all the hid¬ ing places, dear to the heart of our grandmothers, were thorou^Uhly searched, but to no .avail. Even dre.sSer Scarf covers were turned over as a possible hiding place. So far as Is known not a single article of value was .taken.
Bureau and dresser drawers were searched from end to end. They were taken from the stands and dumped out on the floor. Articles of va>ue stored In these drawers were not taken. A '.set of flne razors, a watch, a gold bracelet ani many things of feminine wear were left undisturbed. This leads .Mr. Hansen to believe that the burglars were the same who have been search¬ ing homes on the north side of the island for l^onds and cash.
Mr. Rullman notlllod the police of the robbtyy' ait once and Patrolmen Baldwin and Bennett made an exam¬ ination. Today Mr. Hansen Is taking the' firfger prints.
(?6ilnty eDtective eFrdlnand Miller is working on the case.
Mr. Han.^cn thinks that the burglars are the same ones who entered the home of Captain Samuel McAlister of Ciarden CMty Thursday night.
Washington. March 26.—It m»y or It may not rain on tomorrow's Eaater finery, but Uncle Sam's official fore¬ caster today gave warning that every¬ one from the Atlantic to the Paclflc and from Canada to the Oulf better be prepared for showers.

Garden City. March 26.—Arousel from his b-.'d by the cries of his wif.\ Capt. Samuel D. McAlister, Beach ave¬ nue, this village dashed Into the night tu intercep: a burglar who hurt enter ed the McA lister home.
Tho captain a West Point graduate and formerly of the 3rd U. S. .Artillery, seized his army automatic revolver as he ^ arose. He pursued the night l)i-owler. w.hom he could just discern in tho darkness. The fugitive refused to halt at a command and the caiitain fired. The man had a good lead, how- eve^', and v as running rapidly. If he was hit he showed no signs of it and the whistling bullet only ser\'ed to ac¬ celerate the fugitive's pace.
The man had entered the house at the height of Thursday night's slorm. The f.-imilv retired early but about midnight Mrs. McAlister, thinking the wind was moving u door, arose to clo.se it. She heard a noise in the hall and anticipating that her iiushand hud been aroused by the door spoke, aa she thought, to him.
The intruders;' thinking to avoid dis¬ covery replied. "It's all right" in well mo<Iulated tones but Mrs. McXUster knew then that some stranger was in the house und she awakened hetf^us- band who made after the man.
The only thing missing frdm the house was a kirge sliver pitcher which the police think was grabbed as a weapon in the burglar's flight: to be used if he had to grapple with anyone.
The biirglar gained an entrance in the approved manner of the profes¬ sional houstbreaker. He bed used a screwdriver to break a small piece of glass from a rear window just over the latch and then found It easy to slip tbe latch liack and raise the window.
The McAlisters retired about 9 o'¬ clock and it Is thought the burglar either watched the house to make sure that all were asleep before he entered ur that he saw the darkened residence and thought It unoccupied.

Jlarch 26.—The hearing before the Public Servic* Commission to determine the iocailim ot. the pm posed tunnel under tbe ti-ucks of the Long Island Railroad Company it Hempstead, was he!d before Commis' BOner Van Nainee yesterdny aftcrii at 3 o'clock' in Ihe Hall of Records, Manhattan.
The Railroad Company was repre¬ sented by Attorney Carruthers, Kngl- ucer Carlisle and Mr. Addison.
Vlllaiie Counsel Feljx Rcif.schnelder, Jr.. and A. G.' Archiliald, .In. Village ICiiglnecr. appeared on l>chalf of tho Village Board.
John .1. A. Rogers appeared for a number of iiarents having children of school age. attending the Washington ect school. He explained to Com¬ missioner Van Nainco that the chil¬ dren, on their way to school, were "lost." in that they did not know where fo cro.ss to get to school.
\\ lien the meeting was called to or¬ der by Commissioneiii^an Namee, Mr. (Janiithers for the nWroad companv made a preliminary olijectlon. claim¬ ing that the notice required to bo given by section UO of the Railroad I.4IW had not been served, and that beciiuse of the neglect to serve such notice, the Public Sei'Vlce Commlsslo-i was without authority to hear the com¬ plaint.
IJiirter tlic section quoted by Mr. Can utiiers It was necessary that the villii^e authorities give notice to the Rullroad Company at least fifteen daya prior to tho making of the order laying out such street; Mich notice to be serv¬ ed i:|)on the president, vice president or the railroad company or any of ita general oiScers.
Counsel reprtflentlng the village at the time that the application waa made for the constructilon of the tunnel had overlooked giving this notice, and for that reason Commlseloner Van Namee
That he waa a second story thief was rule<l that thtJ commiiialoner was with- plain, for there were many articles of out power to act, and Mr. Relfschnelder, NTilue on the ground floor that he seeing the force of the objection raised might have taken without awakening by counsel representing tha railroad anyone.

.Vothlng unusual was observed when Mrs. Ilnndforth left yesterday after¬ noon to go to the drug store. When she did iii^t return in time for supper, however, Mrs. Sj-ott became alarmed and the iwllce were ftsjied to he on watch. It wa.s believed that since she h.'id just retui-ncd from a three week.*' stay with her son, Carlos H. Handsforth of 22 Boyd avenue, Jersey City, slie may have become i-onfusert in hor direction and wandered ustnty.
The truth of her absense did not be¬ come known until an hour and a lialf after the patrolmen went out on post. Each WHS Instructed by Police ('uptulii Bacon to watch for Mrs. Handforth.

Miller recclU'cted that as he was passing In the west Imund train due at Hoikvllle Centre at 4.ri5 he bail nottced ii woman on the lianks of the pond east of the reservoir. iHe coni- inimiratcri the fact to Schlossei', who irti:nediatcly Inforrmd police head- qiLiivrters. Mr. Hcott and Howard Bogn.s an intimate friend Immediately after receiving the Information, went to the spot liidlcat<:4^ with Miller and Identl- lied the iKidy ns that of Mrs. Hand- forth.
I'olUe Captain Bacon notified Justice Neu. who. acting iis coroner, vieworl tbe body and gave iXTinlsslon for its l»rnoval to Glen I'ettll's unilertaking estublishnu'iU.
When Captain Hiicon returned with Justice Neu, the Ixidy was found half Kulimerged. A bright moon revealed the white shirtwa.ste about 300 yards distant from the r-oadwuy. The kindly looking old woman's reniainf* wcii! d'awii upon the shore i>y Captain Ha can, and ,luBllce Neu made un cxamln- nlion. He concluded that death had been caused by emersion.
A .short distance from where the body was found, were the outer giir- ments of the aged woman. Her coat, skirt and hut I'ested tV|io(i a convenient shruli und her low cut shoes beside It, if carefully placed. A hand liag Which she hud lurried, hung from u brunch. No note whs found. An empty medicine bottle lay nearby the water's edge. Captain Bacon iilckcd it up.
Apiiarenlly, Mrs. llsndl'orth, had ar- riinged all these things herself. Miller s.iys he recalls seeing a woman touch¬ ing the water with one foot and if feeling for the temperature. She hud sunk to her knees in mud and gripped h<<r skirts as if holding them above tlic water level, when the body wai found.
more secluded place Is not In Bcskvllle Centre. The pond is hidden fI om the east by the dr.V reservoir and lal observer would not notice Hiiyone moving aliout among the briiHli the pond even passing along the road.
