Superintendent Wood and Attorney, Peacock of thc 1.. I. Traction Company appeared, and were askXKl what could be done about the switch at Main Htreet , nnd OHvo boulevard.

There in no question about the fact [see where lights are heeded, and then Ihal) the trolley company is in liad shape |fl"_the need nnd that nomething mu.st be done to re
llevc Its condition.
Mr. I'eacock stated that the switch was put there In order to make sche<lule time, and that lhe road was pressed for money, so that it was ImiKisslble for It to make any change until relief was granted. He Btatcd that there was no use in asking for nn Incren.sc of fare ns long as thc buses ran l« competition, nnd only charged 5 cents. He said that MInnola nnd Hehipsterfd were consider¬ ing the adoption of Section A of the Transportation Corporation Ijiw, mak¬ ing It obligatory for the buses to work I
Chief 8. Dimon Smith was authorized to purchase supplies for the Fire De^ partment up to a sum of $150 and for sums over that amount the board shall give an O.K.
A complaint was read from Captain C. Tuttle to the effect that on April 3 the Flre Department 'started a grass flre In a lot next to him, and that as a result of negligence some of hi.s hedge and rose bushes were killed. It was brought out that a pile of trimmings had been behind the hedge, probably for years, and that they were not seen by the firemen when they started the*flre

thnt lhey will put It in effect If the other vlllagoH along the line do. KooHevelt Delegation Attends Things were going along swimmingly for the trolley company until a delega¬ tion from Koosevelt, under the leader¬ ship of William T. Smith, president of the Roo.seveIt Civic Association, ap¬ peared and "spilled the beans." For the next three-quarters of an hour It vnM( a battle royal between the trolley repre¬ sentatives and Roosevelt, and as the Village Board really had other business to attend to, they had to call It a draw, -or else the argument would have been going .yet.
Mr. Smith -said In part: "There are three buses In operation now out of Roosevelt, and they are doing a good business, showing that there is need of better facllltieH along this line. The trolley will not meet the demand. Abdul seven years ago the company put in a siding In order to give us a 15-minute schedhle, and this was never done. ThUs talk of Section 2A Is all camouflage, nnd robbed of Its covering means that the trolley compariy is out to put the buses out of business altogether. If you exclude them, you will be at the mercy of the trolley. It anyone of us doe« not make a success of bu.siness. wo do not go around belly-aching about it, we start over again nnd do thlngf right.
"Thero Is nothing to be gained by putting the btwes out of business, and I do unt see how this Village Board can entertain any such proposition for a moment. We only ftsk a 15-mlnute ser¬ vice |n the afternoon nnd evening, and it seems small-,enough."
Lawyer Peacock stated that the com- pany was up against unfair competition, «nd that it Is asking the board to do what is legal and nothing else. The company was willing to sell its fran¬ chise If anyone wanted It. He slat«l that Roosevelt would not be in exis¬ tence toda"i' had It not (been for the trolley. He said that all over the coun¬ try things had been done whereby the, trolley companies had been relieved, but that in this, seclion there seemed to be antagonism in the air again trolley companies.
The Village rresldent brought out the fact that in Bridgeport, Conn., the trol¬ leys had been put out of bueiness. and that the city had suffered materially by It. The upshot of the matter was that Trustice Maxson 'moved that the vil- lage preaident hold a conference with the other villages as soon as t)os3iWe. and have them all work out a harmo¬ nious plan.
Sanitary Needs
Captain James Hanse called attention' to the fact that the village is one of'the best hreeding plac^ Imaginable for the mosautto, becauae of the c^esspools and outhou^ies. He petlU^ed that tbe vll- lage do something about putting oil In aH the cea.spool8 and that the owners of outhouses be made to disinfect them. •He brought out the point'that condl- t,lotts^were a typhoid menace, and re¬ cited a little story atiout one time when he was trying to seU a man a hou^ In freeport. "And howabout mosquitoesr* He man asked anxiously. 'Xib, don't
jrry," replied Captain Hanse, "there'll be plenty of them."
It was itnaJly decreed t<^ hav* tif^ vit tags put oii *tt the icesspoola. and to have the health oflScer take astion in ! one*'. If
on Sportsmen avenue, requested the Board to relieve the Freeport Trolley Company from their share of the pro¬ posed burden In road renovating be¬ cause of the fact that the company was an asset to the vlilage especially those who live in the watfr section.

Hempstead. April 23.—Three build ,lngs were burned and several others' were threatened With destruction at West Hempstead late yesterday after¬ noon. Three ober dwellings caught flre and were slightly scorched, but wexe saved by the Hempstead and Munson flremen.
The flre started from an unknown cause in the shop of Stephen A. Bedell, carpenter and contractor, which wos destroyed. It communlcate<l wllh Mr. Bedell's garage and then to that of John Olasik, adjoining, and txtth of these were burned. Because there is no water' supply in that section, which is outside of the village, the flremen could use only the chemicals.- Immed¬ iately upon receiving a telephone call for help, Frank Jacklitsch, special flre¬ man, sped to the scene with the Ford phemlcal outfit, and the Munson chem- /ical apparatus arrived soon after. Pro¬ tection Hose Company's wagon also went from this village.
Realizing that they could do nothing to save the shop and garages, the flremen conserved their supplies of chemicals and used them to prevent the destruction of the nearby dwplllnga. Three of these caught flre and two others were threatened. *Chey were not badly damaged.
Th# principal loss was Mr. Bedell's shop and the contents, consisting of machinery. Tha. damage, is estimated at about |8,000.
But for the work of the flrmen and the chemicals there Is no doubt but that several dwellings would have been destroyed, entailing much grester loss. Those whose property was burned or threatened were still at work beating out the last of the flre late last eve¬ ning, and thery expressed their thanks to the firemen and people of the neigh¬ borhood who came to their assistance.
Set Yoor Qock Tooifht
To Be m Tttat Tomorrow
Don't forget to set your dricks and watches ahead an hour before going to bed tonight.
Daylight saving time takes effect tomorrow at 2.01 a. m. Ynu will lose ah hour In the transaction, but if you sleep until you get ready to get up Sunday mormlng you proba. bly will not mlsa the time.
New York City and all I>ong Is¬ land will observe the daylight sav¬ ing time, cither, f>fncially or unof¬ ficially. The I.,ong Island Railroad will run by it andall public business will be governed by it. Most of the Incorporated villages have nfflclally adopted It, Including Hempstead, Oarden City. Freeiiort and Rockville Centre. That means that the coun¬ ty building and the town hair will be under the daylight savln^r time officially and the filing of papers and opening of courts will be according to that time.
Unincorporated communities will undoubtedly fall in line with the vil¬ lages, the railroad and New York City, hy common consent. There is nothing to prevent the farmer and others In the outside territory from keeping their clocks at the old lime and working by it. . 1 . /

JURY TO HEAR STORY OF ATTACK ON CHILD
Paul Lszer, Accused Of a Serious Charf e WiH Be Tried In Coun¬ ty Conrt Monday
Mineola, April 22.—Paul Lazer of Brooklyn will be tried before Judge Lewis J. Smith and a Jury in the County Court on Monday, on an indictment charging him with a serious crime. The victim of the alleged act Is a 12-year- old girls, whose mother is de^d and whose Hungarl^ father is at work in Brooklyn most of the time.
The little girl is boarded at the home of Mra. Mary Cameron, Hicksville, and to that home on New Year's Day last came Ijizer and his wife. On the morn¬ ing of that day. It Is alleged, the holiday spirit running high and the holiday spirits running also, Lazer announced his intention of visiting a friend who lived nearby, but whose house was not itnown to him. The 12-year-old girl was sent to show him the way. He made his call, is alleged to have drunk some more, and started homeward with the child. In a vacant fleld he seized her, tore some of her clbnillnii: from her, and was only foiled In his purpose by her screams and the screams of a wo¬ man In a neighboring hosue, who looked from her window and saw the attack on the little girl. {
Laser ran away, almost into the arms of Constable Muller of Hicksville, who arrested him. He was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Charltis Stoll and wms so well defended by Attorney Harry |h3>ere tliat he was fined |50 for a leaser degree of crime and was released.
Maurice Cohen, court lnt>>rpreter, re¬ marked about the caae the next day at the Court House here. Diatrict Attor- Aey Charles R. Weeks laid the inatter before the Orand Jury, and that body sent Preston B. Chapman, agevt (or the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to CThUdren, to make Investigation. The result of, that inquiry was to call all witnesses tiefore the Grand Jury. Las¬ er's indictment for a flrst degree crime WAS returned. Monday he wiU be tried on'that charge.
It is said that the woman wIm aaw the attack on the Uttle girl w«s aot called aa a witness In the Justice's voort. Sh4 will he a-witness tn the County CVuirt Mondav.
Mineola, April 2».—This end of New York State, this section of Na.ssau Ounty, and practically all ot the Incor¬ porated villages of the county will op¬ erate under "daylight siivlng" time, starting tomorrow. Hence when the good folk of the Lsland \go to bed to¬ night, they will turn their clocks ahead an hour and arise an hour earlier by the sun tomorrow morning.
Thc Long Island Railroad, which cor¬ poration carries so many of the people of Long Island to and from the dally toil; will practically Arrange tllfe time for the island folk. In this they will be as-slsted by th© city of New York, whiph municipality has adopted "daylight sav¬ ing," which regulates the Long Islander dtirlng his working hours.
Hempstead, (warden City and Mineola, Freeport and Rockville Centre havo adopted "daylight saving" ordinances, and that provides for mo.st of the south side of Nassau County.
The Court House, which is the import¬ ant place, will be regulated by the new time. This means that the clocks will be pushed ahead an hour, so that the legal business will be conducted here as It is being conducted In other places which are daily doing business with Nassau County. All Court House e<ti- ployees will be regulated by It.
There has been considerable doubt as to JUst what course the county officials should pursue, but this has been straightened out now, and all the de¬ partments will work under thc day¬ light saving oi-dinance adopted by Gar¬ den City, since the law says that in cities oj" villages where the new time is operative all legal proceedings, offlcers and courts shall be governed thereby. The Court House is in the village of Garden City.

The appellate division Justice Black¬ mar presiding, today designated Jus¬ tice Cropsey as the pr»?siding judge for the Supreme Court In Nassau County in the place of Justice John MacCrate which means that Justice Cropsey will preside in part one of Supreme Court and Justice MacCrate will preside in part two In the same court of this county.
This order was sent to Daniel Sealey, Clerk of the court here nnd to District Attorney Charles R. Weeks.

The rate wae formerly |1.7ii for 1,000 feet.
In neighboring places, notably North Hempstead, the aame commission flxed the rate at $1.65 for 1.000 foet with 85 cents service charge in spite of the fact that the gas Is manufactured in tht-
same place that the gas for this .sec¬ tion is made and In spite of the fact that the carriage is much further.
Just what action the municipalities will follow now Is not known since tho counsel for all the villages must go be¬ fore the l)oanl of trustw.s and get fur¬ ther Instructl6n.
The application for a iv-hearing,was made before the Public Service Cbm- ml.ssion by John J. McManus, counsel for thf combined suit brought through local attorneya for the places In tho town of North Hempstead whleh aro so vitally interested.
