noo.sevelt. April 21i.—The CIvIe Ahs<>- clatloii of noriscvelt ha.i decided to ad- vo«'Htp the extension of the Lonft Isl and Railroad line from Hempstead to I'">eeport or Merrl<'k nnd thercliy pro¬ vide transit to a larse Heetlon of the rountr.v now dependent on trolleys iwid buses for transportation.
Itoosevelt haw lonK been demandInK improved tninsit nnd is one of the oom- inunitleH which ln»istH iijion the oiwra- tlon of bufies until the trolley service is brought to a schedule which will afford rtml .accommodation. A delcs-ation from the association headed by William T. Smllh. appeared before the Freeport Vlllase Hoard last Friday nixht and arBued with Huperintemlent Wood and Attorney I'eacock of the LonR Island Traction Company over tbe ti-oiley ser vice. .Vir. .Smith contended that the trol ley company was endeavoriiiK to put the bujws out of business and if the vlllaRcs permitted it, the residents would be at the mcr<'y of the trolley company, whose service Roo.sevelt is complainInK of.
The suggested route of the railroad extension in not d<'termined, but It is probable the new line will branch off from Mitchel field, throuRh I'nlondnle nnd Roosevelt to l-'reeport or Merrick. It would serve .-i territory which Is f)nly awaiting adetiuate transit to boom.
Thc question came up at u speilal meetlUK held l.'ist Wednesday in tho school llduso. Thc association al.so plans to continye tho fiKhl a.i<alnst prea¬ ent KOM rates. It will push the installa¬ tion of electric IlKhts to completion and will agitate the formation of a new Rcliool district.
AnxiouN fur Ade<nia(<* Transit
Jts nKltaflon will centre on obtaining adequate transportutiou reKardle.ss u.s to whether it ufTet'ts the trolley.
A buH owner, nrimed Miller, who oper¬ ates a bus line between Hempstead and Freeport, wus present at thc meeting \Vedncsdiiy und while nothing definite wa.s decided, there were many argu ''mWliil*'on'th<* subject of better service.
When Miller was asked whether or not he would nm his buses on u sched¬ ule between the trolley schedule ,so that the present <'ondition would be done away with, ho mude no reply. /
Tl\p i>eoplo of Roosevelt are/out for better ncrvlco and the only [i^-ssihle so¬ lution of the problem iif the minds of many soems to In; to force the buses to run so tlyi't they will not be on the • titfi-ii tflielid of the oara all the time. If they do not comply with this request some action will—t)robably be taken to ' compel them to.
Jt Is generally conceded that the buses are acting unfairly at the present time, and de.sorve little coneidei'atlon on ac¬ count of those methods, If thc sched¬ ules of the trolley and buses can be reg¬ ulated. It will be fair for both, and the BPrvlcp to the traveling public wtll be l>etter,od.
Oafi Question DlHrussed
.S. J. Dunloavy of Freeport appeared before the meeting on hl» favorite theme, the gus question, and entertain¬ ed them for a considerable length ol tlmo.
President Hinkle of the Hempstead Board of Trade waa alao present .xnd Bpoke on the various villages coojierat Ing on the matter of trolley operation.
The trolley company is making some effort to lmpro^¦« their service and ap ponrnace ot/ their rolllnit stock. One hy one the cars are being sent to Wood havers nnd aro being overhauled and ri'iiainted.
One of the best known character* on the line. "Pop" Mitchell, sUted that the comimny was really IH diro straits and that they were only able to continue on because the men had accepted u wage cut.
"All the comi>any wants in a fair deal In the matter of buses," he said. "Mak ing them run in between our schedule will g'ive belter service all around and do nway with the present tt>ctica of picking up iiansengers Just ahead of us.' ' Anyone who knows "Pop" Mitchell knows tbat he has a wise head, and most of the people agree with him.
All along the line lhey want better aervice, and they agree that the buaea at the present time ought to be c^n- trolied.
Tht qucatioa of a naw iciMMl dlotrfct waa held in abeyance pa Bupertaterid- •nt ot the School Di«trict Mepham of MeiTio)».4ia8 not made up ms mind on the matter as yet.

SLIP OF A GIRL
sHpwsmTFURY OF SILVERWARE
I Detective Miller Nearly Loses In
Encounter With Lillian Brower When He Arrests Her
Mineola. April 2'J.—How a SOyearold Miss all but won In a physical encounter -witii Ferdinand Miller, county detective, who is approxim.ately six feet tail ar.d who weighs somctliing more than 200 pounds, is told in the capture of Lil¬ lian Ilrowerl who is something under the fentherweight limit, but as eaay to handle as a basket of eels.
The girl escaped from |he Way.sido Home al Valley Stream, January -I, und sho has been sought by thc author¬ ities sii\ce.
Detective Miller learned she was In Lakeview Wednesday, and he found the house where she was sheltered. The girl .saw him coming, and as he entered the front door. She bolted through an opeit window and dashed nway. De¬ tective Miller gave chase for half a mile, when he .saw hi.s quarry go to cover In a house. A search showed she had burrowed hor way imdor a pile of moulding and scantling In tho cellar. She refused to rome out. Miller pulled the woodpile do'wn, only to discover thnt he h.ad released 96 pounds of fury In the form of a young Woman, who clinched with him, kicked, .scratched and bit him, until she fainted from sheer exhatjstion. Then, tossed over his .shoulder, the detective carried her, like a .sack of flour, into the house and left her with volunteer watchers until he could take her away.
.She wns locked in the Jail here until such time as the court jihall decide her fate. ^
Valuables Taken From Samael Hewlett's House Found Hidden Beneath Brush b Qnmp of Trees Nearby — Believed To Have Been Placed There To Create Jobs For Watchmen
Mineola. .April 2I>.—While the mys¬ tery surrounding the robbery of the home of SanuiPl Hewlett, between Port Washington and Roslyn is not i'leared up by nny means, the valu¬ ables taken from the place h.ive been discovered, says District Attorney Charles R. Weeks.
[ In the same cloth In which they were carried from the Iwmo the'night tho tdace was entered were found the pieces of silver and tho other valu¬ ables taken. They were found a short distance from the house whore ihey had boon cached against the time when the burglars, it such they were, would come for them.
Xo gr«>at attempt at concealment had ))een made. The table cloth, with the four ends tied together formed the bag and that Was thrust back into some bushes that grew closely together at a base of some large trees. Km- ployeea taking a short cut through the woodland made the discovery.
Thore Is a' theory that it was not so much a robljery as the appearance of a robbery for the purpose of keep- | injr the neighborhood in alarm. Under such conditions easy berths aa night watchmen would be plentiful and continuous, polnfli out one peace officer who knows his way about a little. The fact that the sil¬ verware has tieen hidden several weeks and has been undisturbed gives a lit¬ tle color to this theory, although it la l)OHslble that the robbers may bave been caught elsewhere and have not been able to get buck to the cache.
The arrest of Joseph Shaeffer, the "model husband," who plied his trade es burglar without tho knowledge of hla wife, and who waa arrested ii) niehmond Hill, stlU attracts the at- tentlon of Nassau County folk.
District Attorned' Weeks haa sent more thnn a score of persons to tlie nsth Prefinct station at Richmond Hill, to see ihthey could identify arti¬ cles that may have been stolen from them. For the most part the trip has been fruitless. Shaeffer made his liv¬ ing by thieving and he quickly dis¬ posed of those things ttiat could be turned into money. Only a great lot

pall bearers moved along with their late cla.ssinate. as the mourners entered the coaches that were to take them to the last resting place of Vir-glnia. Eyes that looked uiwn the bereaved relatives were not eyes of the curious, but con¬ tained an expression of sympathy. The feeling of sorrow was muttial.
Preceding the body of Virginia was an open automobile coach tilled with flowers. They were not meant for di.s¬ play. They told a deeper tale. Re¬ flecting the bright sunshine, they seem¬ ed to remind of the sunshine which Virginia had spread among her circle of frlendK. And these friends remem¬ bered her and paid her tribute with beautiful flowers.

Hempstead, .\prll 23.—The I.ong Isl¬ and Railroad Company has decided to moot the wishes of tho X'illage Boiird and residents in regard fo the con¬ struction of the underground foot jia.saage for the use of tho children from tho northwestern nnd western sections of the villngo who attend tho \'an Cott avenue achool:
After' a consultation between Village Kngfro>er A. G. Archlluild. Jr.. and officials of the lailroud Thursday after¬ noon, the officials agreed not to op- po.se tho construction of the passage¬ way at Van Cult avenue and Kendiv; place, and in tho event that the vil¬ lage agrees to pay Its Hharc of tho cost, thore will be nothing In tho way of Ita construction.
The railroad cotnpany officials insist- od only that the entire subway bo coni- plotod at ono time and that It shoulil not be done jiiecoineal. Tho cost will lie $IC.(ron. according to the esfimutea of the engineers niMl of this thc village will liave to raise one-hnlf. or JS.itllo. In view of the vor.v urgent need of tho subway, it seems probnble that the l.ec)ple will arrlhoiize the expcndiUrro, It will hnve to be voted upon at ,au election, as the Village Bmird has no authority to make the experidilui-e without a vote of the people.
Tho pr-esent attitude of the riillrnnd ollieials will firevont a long drawn-out (diifioveray, as it wus expected thnt the company would oppose the construc¬ tion of the passageway at this point, Whorr Iho question was first taken lljl with Ihe company by a committee 111'111 lire Chimiber- of t'omrni^ne, it WHS agreed Ih.'it tho funnel should bo constructed one block north of tho |ir-esont proposed site. When the mat¬ ter wns brought bofor-p the Villago Hoard for a heiii'lng, opposition de- \Tloped lo this site bocduse it would necessitate the children going one Mock north of the school before roach- lug tho tunnel, and it waa argued that Ihey would continue to cross the track. < ndangering their lives on the third rail, as at present.
The riillrnad company objoclod to tho change and threatened fo oppose lh<' new site rulopted hy tho X'lllaue Board before the Public Service Com¬ mission. When the hoarliig w»» llnally called beforo the commlaalon, tho proceeding was dismissed on a technicality, on the motion of tho rail¬ road company's attorneya. The Village ('oiriiHel, Felix Uoifschncidcr', Jr-.. on (liiecfion r>f Iho Village Board, then siHited now proceedings, and the rail- i-oad offloials have do<'ldod not to op¬ pose the location of tho aubway at K'endig place and Van Cott avenue. This will moan Ihat the Public Service I iiiiiiiilssion will undoubtedly at once i.ssup llie order for ils construction when the matter comeS beforo It, and the suhwuy can be conirtructed direct¬ ly oiiposite the s<-hofJhTiulldlng.
