which has mysteriously disappeared from two idaces in that village within the past fortni,ght, there will be no display of the colors at her home on .Morris avenue next Saturday. But there is yet hope. Local slueths are "working on the case."
The facis about the disappearance of this rather cumbersome pole are
home of Dr, Mills on Leonard avenue, 'al least perplexing. It was taken from |
Ihe .Morris avenue premises last week ' on Tliur.sday by Frank C. Martens, one of the administrators of the (is- late of the late Herruan Mai lens..Mrs. r.orining's former husband, and placed in the yard of his poi'periy ai .Merrick load and Davi.sou place.

EAST ROCKAWAY TAXES ARE ADJUSTED PEACEABLY
Grievance Day Fails To Produce Anticipated Friction — Assess¬ ments Discussed Freely
Although man juau.stiiienis iu the assessment of property were made as a result of cOmjTlaints lodged by tax¬ payers. Grievance Day in Kast Rock¬ away was not an occasion for bicker ing as was i.redicied il would be. On the contrary lhe matier of assess- I ments e.specially those of acreage ! which had toriueriy been taxed as I farm land, was discussed wiihout bit¬ terness amf seitled amicably. The en-
ning was ali'eady planning to raise "old glory." this week. The job was not done by a lone burglar.nor by two, for this pole is seventy feet long and heavy. It took four men to move it in the first instance.
But it is gone, strayed, lost, disap- rieared and absent, and .Mrs. Bonning feels it keenly. She is of the belief that someone Jtnowr. to her has taken away her pole. Suspicion jioilits in the direction of Meirick road and Da¬ vison place, although none of thc Hawkshaws who are "on the rase" have been able to hnd it. .Mrs Bon¬ ning lias sought lhe a.ssi.suun .• ot a .Manhattan detective agency to ajd her in Ihe search.
A reportorial Sherlock Holmes, who instinctively interested hiniself in the ci^se has learned and now reports that .Mi^ .Martens claims ownership of thi.s seventy foot pole with Mrs, Bonning, He stales lhat either decline lo di.s- cuss the case in "any shape or man¬ ner," but he inclines to the deduction that the pole is in the possession of lhe family and so has ceased in his t?florts to locale it
