Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman to be Tried For Most Mys¬ terious Crime
Long Island will be the .»cenc of the firing; of thf first great gun In the State-wide campaign, which marks the beKlnninK of the last great State Convention of New York Suffragists, before the question of woman suf- rage goes to the voters of the State. This convention will be held in Roch-
Intoeffect on September first. Already tbe organization of an Institution wblch will make long-time loans to farmers is practically completed.
Sixty per cent, of the necessary cap¬ ital has already been subscribed, ane -he saving and loan associations arc aklng hold of their new activities ii •1 manner wnicn promises initufdial
fults.
The men who have intt-iesled them selves In the land bank are confiden tuat before snow (lies the new systei of agricultural credit will be availahlr for every farmer in the Siiiliv
Wnen the land bank Is in opiriilioi tue farmers of Long Island will at onc< be able to ehanse their present mon gages into land bunk loans, and ^.. by make a saving of at len.st ifJio oi. every ?1,000 mortgage.
The difference between Ihe or(llTiar\ mortgage and a land bank loan is !¦ the method of paying off the priii' pal. In the ordinary mortgage tht borrower pays 6 per eent. interesi eacb year and hts principal at the vin of uis loan. Under the land hank sys tem, the borrower pays pari (>f ah principal each year in addition to nt. interest. By paying this small addl tional sum, the borrower gets com poimd Interest each year ou part oi bis principal instead of permitting th( entire principal to draw interest (o) the creditor.
On a 11,000 loan under the old sys tem the farmer pays 06$ interest eacl year, or $600 in all, and the principa at tbe end of the loan, making his tc Ial payments $1,600. nder the luiu bank system the farmer pays $i:i,'..8 each year for a $1,000 loan lor ten years or $1,358.68 altogethi'i.
In other words, his $1.00(i loan cosl^ liim $211.;i2 less under the land bank system than under the old mortgaKt system.
Kvery farmer witli a mortgage on his farm is naturally anxious to know the procedure which he must follow ir. order to take advantage of the land bank. The procedure Is ."liinple. Un- d«r tbe law the land bank must b( formed by the union of saving and loan associations. The members ot these saving and loan associations are permitted to secure mortgages oi. their farms from the land bank.
Fifteen or more farmers can organ¬ ize one of these saving and loan as Boelatlons if ther is no association al ready In existence in their vicinty and obtan membership In the land bank by taking the necessary steps.
Not only will membership lA these saving and loan associations p(>rmii lue Individual farmer to obtain a land bank mortgage, but he will be per mltted to share In all activities of the land bank.
In Nassau County the mortgage debt Is $451,543 and the saving will be $iu8(000. Ip Suffolk the uebt is $1. 207,800 and the saving will be $288, 000.

Freeport's new school building being '.onsiructed on Columbus avenue is •apldly nearlng completion. Tlie base- nent brick work and that of the lirst md second tloois is completed, al- liough the roof ornamen tal ion of )ri(k i.i not tinislied.
The sc:lu)ol will accomodate in "(he leighborliood of live hundred children, I is estimated. The iiuiUling is 134 feet by 62, contains eleven classrooms. 1\ by 28 feel, a kindergarten room 24 by 36, and a large otlice. The lirst loor i.s so arranged that a large a.udi- tcnlum will be furnished, capable of •icating several hundred persons. The lasenien't can be used as a gymnasium if that is desired at somo future time.
The structure is of red brick with ¦i:;lit stone trimmings, fireproof on .Irst tloor wilh reinforced concrete .vork, and with lireproot stairs of the same matei'ial. The lathing of the various rooms is no\* under way un¬ der the direction of Albert Post. E. A. Rice has charge of the heating and plimibing arrangements, and Thomas McMugli Company, Inc., has the build¬ ing contract. The work Is being con¬ siderably facilitated by an Improvised elevator operated by a sceani engine, ind It greatly aids tlie carrying of materials to tlie stories desired.
When completed the building will be a handsome structure capable of taking care of all the increasing school children for many years to come.
S.T. RAYNOR ORGANIZES CORPORATION
Freeport Business Men Interested in. Berkley Springs Company
The Berkeley Springs Corporation is soliciting subscriptions to stock of that Clompany in the amount of $100,- 000. The ollicers of the Company are Samuel T. Raynor, president and Treasurer; Charles S. May, vlce-pres- idc-nt; John B. Cartwrlght. secretary; Dr. William H. Runcle and Roland M. Lamb, directors. AU of these oflicials are residents of the village of Free- port, except Mr. May who resides at Berkeley Springs. West Virginia.
The corporation is organized for the purpose of developing its proper¬ ty in West Virginia and placing upon the market the celebrated Berkeley Siirings water. Every physician pre- criblng this water for his patient has declared that Its remedial components ill cases of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles are wonderful. The water is exceptional in that It has a very strong diuretic effect and Is not a physic, nor is it distasteful. 'The of¬ flcers of the company are energetic business men.
Henry Hicks of Westbury, one of tho best known arboriculturists in this part of the country, member of the firm of Isaac Hicks and Sone, with nurseries on the Jeric;ho turnpike, who was called into consulation with three other experts of national repu¬ tation relative to the best nieans to be used toward saving 800 fine elm trees In the line of tho construc^tion ol the lOastern I'arkway subway. Hrooklyn, is of the opinion that it will be a "simple mai ter." He also says that it would not involve so large at: outlay as has been estimated.
.Mr. Hicks believes that a system of watering the Parkway trees for the few months before the suiiway work commences, should be at once_ install¬ ed, so that they will he given added strength for the undertaking. \ sys¬ tem of watering th<' roots by a pipe¬ line should be installed.^he believes.
This iilan would involve the cutting the roots and putting in irrigating pipes to supply them with water. Pn der this scheme it is p'-obable Ihat a bridge path would be constructed on a part of the jiresent roadway when it is being relaid after the comple¬ tion of the subway.
"The construction of the suBway," s.-iid -Mr. Hicks, "will expose about one- third of the roots of many of the trees. This will not destroy the grow¬ th, if proi)erly watered and cared for each week. Some of the trees along Eastern Parkvay will have to be tak¬ en right out to allow for subway sta¬ tions, but if removed with a ball of dire they r.iay be [ireserved imtil the completion of the work and then be replaced. The whole matter can be successfully cared for."
