Second Fire of Week Destroys Old | Hr>mestead of Valentine Smith   , on Bay View Avenue
Scheme of Hebrew Salesman Had No Attraction forBrook- lynites---They Took Entire Stock- -Caught on Road
AutomoblleB ruahing lo and from a flre which totally destroyed an un¬ occupied dwelling in upper Bayview Svenue caused Injury to three persons, one seriously, last nlgbt, and incident ully llKbted the way for the flro ap- paratUH. John Dunbar, the oldest member of the Freeport Police IJe¬ partment In point of service, was pain¬ fully bruised about the head and nose while rfturnlnK to police headquarters in anawer to a red light call and was taken lo his home after treatment by Dr. Newton, In a .semi conncious con dition.
Dunbiir was with several other oHi- cers In the automobile when the ac cidenl occurred. When he received the call he at onc.<i gathered his men together and chartered a car. The macbine waa making thlrty-flve miles an hour when it swung Into Olive Boulevard from Bavlew avenue. At Ocean avenue there Is a depression at either side of the street. The ma¬ cbine bounded over these bumps, throwing Dunbar off the rear seat, his forehead hitting a spanclon.
The ofllcers did uot realise lhat Dun¬ bar had been Injured uatll he sank to Ihe floor of the car as it sped across Bergen place. When the car arrived al lieadquarterH Dr. Newton was called. He found Dunbar suffer¬ ing from bruised and abraisions and a deep out over the nose. Chief Ro¬ land M. Lamb took the injured offlcer to hla home. His condition Ls Improve ed today.
The alarm ."iounded at about 8.55 o'clock. The sky ih the northwest section of the vUlaRe reddened before the apparatus from the various com¬ panies started in response. The coun- iiyside for perhaps a mile offered i place of vantage for more than a thousand person to witnesa the con¬ flagration. Motion picture shows and entertainments were deserted after the flrst call. The flelds about the old hooHc were strewn with villagers.
The flames' red reflection lighted up the entire section, the scene present¬ ing tLe appearance of a carnival.
Tha youth gamboled about and the roads became clogged with pedestri¬ ans. Chief Bernard Loonam arriving at tho flre in his car found a truck on one sldo of the road and a lino of hose stretched through the center. As he swerved to avoid these the aulo crasht.td into persons standing along the roadside. Charles O. Hill, an at-^ torney of Freeport and another were knocked down. Neither was more tbiin ruffled.
The flre was In a two story dwelling, formerly owned by Vslentine Smith, ;i veterinary surKoon, which during th<j jjast two years has heen deserted. Its Inner kails wore partially down and Its exterior in deplorable condi¬ tion. It has been a rendezvous for tramps and the sc^ne of numerous unprintable occurrences. The place sttod on the property of the Warranty Realty ('ompany of which Samuel Cohen Is president. The loss is esti¬ mated at about f2,000. The bulldln»; was insured Tor a small amount.
The flre is the second within a week. The Crystal Lake Holel, pro¬ bably one of the mots famous resorts of the South Side was adamaged by a $20,000 blaze on Tuesday afternoon.
t'pon the speed and stamina of a taxicab In which two Freeport officers set out In pursuit of a hea^¦y truck owned by Smith & Malone, piano movers, of 586 Twentieth street, Brooklyn, considerable depended yes¬ terday afternoon. In the first instance it was the reputation of the Freeport Police Department and In the second the return of six raincoats which be¬ longed to a Hebrew salesman frgm Manhattan who had boen soliciting In the village until he met the movers.
It appears that the Hebrew, tired after a lonK Jaunt through the vIlhiKe slopped at a corner saloon for liquid refreshment. The four brawny Brook¬ lynltes were drinking at tho har.
"1 got a Hchemo." quoth the Hebrew, "That you'll make a pool for each .a quarter.     I'll give a rainco;it for il."
No one took kindly to the proimsi- tlon, but one of the men had a sug¬ gestion. It was tbat a sister, whom be said lived In Freeport, would take one of the coats and loan money for the purchase of thre others. The Hebrew considered the proposal and then agreed upon a price. It was $2.50 each for tbe four.    ,
"We'll get in tbe car then," said one "We'll go down there right away. It's only a little ways down the Merrick road."    The Hebrew consented.
Together the flve rode west along the Merrick road to the outskirts of Freeport. As tho automobile drove up to a house one of tbe movers said. "This is It get out!" The man with tbe raincoats did so and at ttae same time the automobile started full speed toward the city.
The Hebrew wandering back to Freeport made Inquiries at the salmm about the men, bul no one knew tbem. He wa.s directed to Police Headquart¬ ers weher Captain Darenberg at once dispatched two men in search of the automobile and raincoata. The car was overtaken  at Valley Stream.
The raincoat."? were returned; the in(>n were not held.

Although the village aulhorilies in Rockville Cenire have consistently de¬ clined to allow ony person to venture up the eighty foot flag pole that rises from the village green at Merrick road and Lincoln avenUe, and line men bave refused lo venture beyond Ita crosa arm, Old Glory was imfurled at half mast as the grizzled veterans of the War of the Rebellion marched by on the way to decorate the grave of tholr comrade in the RockviUe Ceme¬ tery this afternoon. Unalloyed patri¬ otism and Yankee get there surmount¬ ed the obstacles that have heretofore prevented the display of tbe Colors.
Almost , before the first piuple Ktroak.s (/f the morning revealed the flying banners in olher sections of Rockville Centre there was wide com¬ ment among men lhat the village flag staff was unadorned. Incidents of the past few weeks were reviewed by those who passed by the village ofllce, looked for tiie tlag and saw none. The flremen discussed it. especially tbe members of the Eureka Hook, I^add r and Bucket Company, the oldest vol¬ unteer firemen's organization in the village. Among them there was a re¬ solve that In some way, they did not know how, the flag would be unfurled before the Grand Army men passed In line.
Tlie deliberations of the v.imps con¬ sumed but a short time, for at nine o'clock the hook and ladder truck was on its way toward the flag pole. When it arrived at the junction of the two avenues there was a cheer from a group of men standing nearby. Among them was C. Husser and Clarence Ankers, Spanish-American war veter¬ ans, and the donor of the Hag Mr. .Schneider, manager of Fraas & Miller's liimitiire store in .Merrick road.
It was recognized by those who ac¬ companied the truck to the green that it would be a dangerous task to reach the top of the pole. The main staff was secure, but the top mast which Is coupled to it was loose at the point.
"We'll run a ladder up to the rrosK arm," suggested one of the firemen. "The pole can be braced  and  it  will
be easy for one of the men fo climb to tbe top."
Tbe sugestion was no soon uttered than carried out. An extension ladder was taken from th^ truck and run up the pole. When it was set in position. Edward Knettle, twenty years old, champion ladder climber of the vil¬ lage, an undersized youth who weighs about 100 pounds, voluntereed to make the attempt. It was a dramatic mo¬ ment for firemen and group who watched   them
"I'm willing to iisK. my life for lhat flag." cried Knettle, pulling off lils coat. "The Graud Army men who are going to pass here this afternoon fought, bled and died to save the .stars and stripes, and they are going lo see it That banner will flv at half mast if I have to nail it to the flag pole"
There was a teube silence while Knettle was talking. Fred Grilfln,who stood on the opposite side of the street sanctioned by a nod of his head what was being done. Knettle climb¬ ed to the top of the ladder, braced the coupling and started up thiry feet of a thin, sheer topmast with the hall- lards in his mouth.
"I tell you lhat you are doing lhat at your own risk," yelled Trustee Wal¬ lace from the ground.
"I'm not the only men in Rockville Centre who has risked his live for this flag." came the retort from tlie top of the pole.
The crowd.s who gathered stood- breathless as Knettle swayed at the top of the tapering pole. His work WHS accomplished in stiori order. The rope was run through the pulleys and dropped to waiting hands. Manager Schneider, of Fraas & .Millers branch store across the way, slood witb the flag he had presented to the village somo six months ago.
As Knettle slid down to the ground the flag was hoisted half way up amid the cheers of perhaps a hundred per¬ sons.
Orders were issued this morning by Village President Bulaon to tbe police to guard the pole, but there was no member of the police department pres¬ ent when the firemen arrived.
The (lag pole ha.s not been in use for some time. Tho halliards became knotted duiing the winter and il was considered unsafe to allow anyone to climb to the top. John Ryan, one of the village employees, attempted lo reacb tbe top several months ago, but because of his weiglit It was Impos¬ sible to get beyond the cross arm. The matter was dropped until the fire¬ men uii^'itook to ropair it today.
There has been considerable criti¬ cism in the village because there was no flag flying when the bodies of the soldiers and sailors from Vera Cruz were brought Into port.

Residents of Four Villages En¬ thusiastic Over Idea of Re¬ viving Sport among South Siders--Course Nearby
Plans contemplating the forming of a golf club in the vicinity of Free- port and Riockville Centre are at pres¬ ent In the process of formation. The resident.-,     ol     these     towns     largely

¦ Al tiie present time nothing definite has been planned, but the meeting is
' to  brlnt;  together men  who play golf
I and   are   willing   to   work   to  have   a
j club near their own vlllagos. . TIio idea of a golf club has been discuss¬ ed for years.
In  1902  there  were   two  golf  clubs;
Iin this district, one  In Freeporr apd! cussed Thursday night bave met with
I one  in   Baldwin.   The   Freeport  Club I the   hearty   approval   of   residents   of
jwas a success for a time and a num-i "^*'   '°'"'   ^'"*'^^''   '"^'^'^'^   ^'^  P*"'^'-
pate in forming the club, and tbere ts
no doubt but lhat with the cooperation
of tbese villages planly of flnancial
,off the Merrick road, a pretty cluh bouse and a number of flne tennis courts. The Tacapusy Qolf Club, of Side. Soon however it semeed plain to the members tbat tbere were not a flne course in the vicinity of Ocean Baldwin was then formed and laid out enough Koir onthUBlasts to keep up two clubs so near together, and it was proposed that the clubs combine. The Freeport Club refused to consider this however and they continued separate ly. In a short linio however the clubs were obliged to break up and since fhen there has been none In or iifar Freeport.
Kver since the organizing of the Kreeport Golf Club there has heen talk of again starling up a club In the vicinity. But up to the present time no definite plans have been laid. A number of schemes have been propos¬ ed and at one time it seemed certain that a golf club would be organized with grounds on the Baldwin road, be¬ tween Baldwin and Hempstead. The plan fell through because enough niembers could not be found who would flnance the organization. An¬ other site that was selected by resi¬ dents of Freeport who were interested In golf was on Main street between Froeport and Hempstead. This plan was also abandoned hecau.se of flnan¬ cial difficulties. The present plans wbich will be dls-
