It haa always been custom arv for afternoon newapaper men to use the telegraph when covering storiea oot of town, but as an experiment it was auggested that on the Carman murder oase we try the telephone.

We wish to express our appreciation of hia efficient hand¬ ling of the situation and the great coarteiy diaplayed by the membera of his oflSce itafF.
Very truly youra, Hurry Stowe,

FATHER KING SAVES CHILD PROM DROWNING Father King, paator of St. Barnabas Roman Catholic Church, this village, proved himself a hero last Wednesday afternoon, while at High Hill Beach. He was standing on the wharf at SaV- age'a Pavilion, bidding good-bye to a number of friends who were returning home after apending the day at the beach when he saw a litflb child four years old run and fall and tumble over board into the water. Father King who is an excellent swimmer quickly jumped in and saved the boy. With h hero's modesty, hp said it waa nothing that he had done, but it was fortunate that he was there, aa it seemed that no one else saw the child's preil. The boy was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Baring of Freeport, who were at the beach on the outing of the Wo¬ men's Relief Corps, of D. B. P. Mott Poat, G. A. R., of Freeport.
The annual.excursion of the M. E. Sunday School will be held to High Hill Beach on Wednesday, August 12. Boats will leave Bellmore dock at nine o'clock. Two large boats have been engaged,so there will be ample accom¬ modation for all who desire to go. If stormy on Wedneaday, the excursion will go out on Thursday.
BASEBALL NOTES In a game full of interest, excite- ment and fun Bellmore defeated a team compoaed of players from the Freeport Actors Colony, Sunday, by a score of 8 to S. These are the gentle¬ men who have so kindly offered-to Father King a benefit performance I which tbey will give tonight in tb2 lo- I cal Fire Hall. This will without doubt I be one of the best shows ever given in I this village.
\ To return to the game, old reliable j Sam started and held them in tbe palm ; of bia band, as did * Howard, who j pitched tbe laat half of the game. He {improvea every time he entera [the I box. In all, Bellmore aecored 18 hits I and the actors 9.
i Next Sunday Bellmore will play I their old-time rivals, the Hickory P. ¦ C, who all will remember aa being a I strong, faat te»m. Tbey defeated tbe ! locals earlier in the season 6 to 4. I Amos and Scnheider will probably be in the points.

Mrs. Flynn Settles Suit
The case of Mary Flynn against the New York Traction Company has been settled for $1000. This is tbe end of a tedious fight by Mra. Flynn to recov¬ er damages for injuriei received in December, 1910.

Bosca Pays;
Sencence Suspended
Mineola, L. I., July 25—Ernest E. Bosca, formerly Town Treaaurer of Hempstead, has made good every pen¬ ny of the $35,000 town funds which he loaned himself, and today, in the County Court, Judge Niemann let him go under a auapended sentence.
Judge Niemann said that he had first thought of giving Bosca a stiff jail sentence, but when the man came for- \vard and threw himselLon the mercy of the court by his plea, the judge con¬ sidered all the circumstances and de¬ termined that Bosca bad paid a suffi¬ cient penalty for his wrong doing.
BoscH wa& indicted for violating Section 1866 of the Penal Code, which provides that the town treasurer shall invest money in mortgages only on property twice the value of the loan.
Bosca loaned himself $16,000 on one mortgage and then $19,000 on another, making $35,000 in all. It was the contention of the Diatrict Attorney that the $19,000 was loaned after there waa already a first mortgage on the property.
. Bosca waa proprietor of the White Cannon Inn at Eaat Rockaway. He waa a truated man in tbe community before he went wrong. After he pleaded "goilty," be made repeated attempts to raise money ao that be might pay off what he owed and the case was adjourned from time to time, Boaca apending tbe interim in jail. Hia counsel, today, handed a check for $20,811.33 to the County Clerk, which represented the balance of the debt. Tbe check also incloded interest on the aecond loan.—Brooklyn Eagle.

"What 'oo want, cbicky?" aaked a two-year-old girl In tbe oouatry for tbe flrat time interpreting the chick¬ en's cacklins aa an appeal for soma- tblng. " 'Go want a drink?" Tbe cackling continaed. " 'Go waat ay (rampa?" More cackUng. "Aw." said the dlagoated UtUa girt. "plMUM akst up!"
FREEPORT WALLOPS BALDWIN Freeport trimmed Baldwin A. C. nicely Saturday afternoon at the Sea¬ man Avenue grounds, taking seven runs for themselves, and not allowing the visitors to get a man across bome plate, and only two to third base.
For the first three innings, neither side scored, and then Freeport got busy and scored in four out of the remaining six innings.
S. S. Y. C. Big
Vaudeville Show
Always on the occasion of the annual vaudeville show of the South Strare Yacht Club, the Club House is packed to the dodrs, and this year Was no ex¬ ception, for under tbe direction of Vic¬ tor Moore, N. E. Manwaring and H. J. Fitzgerald, the pick of the vaude¬ ville stars in the Freeport colony not otherwise engaged came together on the Club stage.
Keeping up on'lsinality of stage set¬ ting, the stage this year was made to repreaent a yacht, "The Ark, Stage¬ craft," and when the curtain went "up," sitting on the boat, as guests of the captain.fwere many who were familiar to the Club members and their frienda, with a few not ao well known. The|yacht waa in cliarge of Captain Will Philbrick, with Tommy Gray as cabin boy and Carl Henry as chief deckhand. After singing several choruaea, the guesta "went below," and tlie stage waa cleared for action.
Tommy Gray announced each num¬ ber in turn and was, to say the leact, original in style and manner. As the entertainers were introduced they would come out of the "hold" of the boat, perform their act on the deck, and retire "below" again, to make room for the next. That is with the exception of Philbrick and chorus, who never seemed to know just when their act was scheduled for, and started it several timea before being allowed to finiah.
After the entertainment, which concluded at about 11:80, the fioor waa cleared for dancing. A delightfully cool breeze from tbe ocean made the dancing particularly enjoyable, and it waa kept op for aevexal tiourt after the sbow.
Commodore Soathard deaelrvee great credit for the work of arrM^iiig the gtage, whi(;h waa done almost eoCtrely gnder hia soperviaion, and on which l,e spent a great deal of time.
Hurt iu Aoto Crash
Misa Blanche Horton waa thrown from an automobile and her noae and arm broken, while out driving with Ralph Randall, Friday aftemocb. The machine iu which Mies Horton and Mr. Randall were riding collided witb the- car occupied by Ernest Ball and Miaa Maud Lambert, wbo were thrown out, bot not badly hurt. Both cars were demoliahed. The colliaion occurred at Archer Street and Soutb 0<«aD Ave¬ nue.

FATHER KING SAVES CHILD PROM DROWNING Father King, paator of St. Barnabas Roman Catholic Church, this village, proved himself a hero last Wednesday afternoon, while at High Hill Beach. He was standing on the wharf at SaV- age'a Pavilion, bidding good-bye to a number of friends who were returning home after apending the day at the beach when he saw a litflb child four years old run and fall and tumble over board into the water. Father King who is an excellent swimmer quickly jumped in and saved the boy. With h hero's modesty, hp said it waa nothing that he had done, but it was fortunate that he was there, aa it seemed that no one else saw the child's preil. The boy was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Baring of Freeport, who were at the beach on the outing of the Wo¬ men's Relief Corps, of D. B. P. Mott Poat, G. A. R., of Freeport.

Mrs. Flynn Settles Suit The case of Mary Flynn against the New York Traction Company has been settled for $1000. This is tbe end of a tedious fight by Mra. Flynn to recov¬ er damages for injuriei received in December, 1910. Mrs. Flynn waa a passenger on a northbound trolley car going to her home in Garden City at 10 o'clock in the evening. She waa aboot to leave the car at Tenth Street when it sud¬ denly started and threw her into the street, injuring her hip aeverely. The case was tried twice before th; Sopreme Court of Nasaau County, and on tbe cloae of the plaintiff'a caae on the firat trial was dismissed. An ap¬ peal was taken to the Appellate.

These plana completed will make the former sand beach the moat beautiful summer resort on the eastern coast.—Times. Bosca Pays; Sencence Suspended Mineola, L. I., July 25—Ernest E. Bosca, formerly Town Treaaurer of Hempstead, has made good every pen¬ ny of the $35,000 town funds which he loaned himself, and today, in the County Court, Judge Niemann let him go under a auapended sentence. Judge Niemann said that he had first thought of giving Bosca a stiff jail sentence, but when the man came for- \vard and threw himselLon the mercy of the court by his plea, the judge con¬ sidered all the circumstances and de¬ termined that Bosca bad paid a suffi¬ cient penalty for his wrong doing. BoscH wa& indicted for violating Section 1866 of the Penal Code, which provides that the town treasurer shall invest money in mortgages only on property twice the value of the loan. Bosca loaned himself $16,000 on one mortgage and then $19,000 on another, making $35,000 in all. It was the contention of the Diatrict Attorney that the $19,000 was loaned after there waa already a first mortgage on the property. . Bosca waa proprietor of the White Cannon Inn at Eaat Rockaway. He waa a truated man in tbe community before he went wrong. After he pleaded "goilty" be made repeated attempts to raise money ao that be might pay off what he owed and the case was adjourned from time to time, Boaca apending tbe interim in jail. Hia counsel, today, handed a check for $20,811.33 to the County Clerk, which represented the balance of the debt. Tbe check also incloded interest on the aecond loan.—Brooklyn Eagle.

For the first three innings, neither side scored, and then Freeport got busy and scored in four out of the remaining six innings. S. S. Y. C. Big Vaudeville Show Always on the occasion of the annual vaudeville show of the South Strare Yacht Club, the Club House is packed to the dodrs, and this year Was no ex¬ ception, for under tbe direction of Vic¬ tor Moore, N. E. Manwaring and H. J. Fitzgerald, the pick of the vaude¬ ville stars in the Freeport colony not otherwise engaged came together on the Club stage. Keeping up on'lsinality of stage set¬ ting, the stage this year was made to repreaent a yacht, "The Ark, Stage¬ craft" and when the curtain went "up" sitting on the boat, as guests of the captain.fwere many who were familiar to the Club members and their frienda, with a few not ao well known. The yacht waa in cliarge of Captain Will Philbrick, with Tommy Gray as cabin boy and Carl Henry as chief deckhand. After singing several choruaea, the guesta "went below" and tlie stage waa cleared for action. Tommy Gray announced each num¬ ber in turn and was, to say the leact, original in style and manner. As the entertainers were introduced they would come out of the "hold" of the boat, perform their act on the deck, and retire "below" again, to make room for the next. That is with the exception of Philbrick and chorus, who never seemed to know just when their act was scheduled for, and started it several timea before being allowed to finiah. After the entertainment, which concluded at about 11:80, the fioor waa cleared for dancing. A delightfully cool breeze from tbe ocean made the dancing particularly enjoyable, and it waa kept op for aevexal tiourt after the sbow. Commodore Soathard deaelrvee great credit for the work of arrM^iiig the gtage, whi(;h waa done almost eoCtrely gnder hia soperviaion, and on which l,e spent a great deal of time.
