The appointment of Heiirj I'.

The news was a surprise to many and a grat satisfaction 10 others.

When the annouucenieni came to .Massau County some Ibi-ew weeks ago thai lieitii had been named by i'resi¬ dent iWison as succes.'-or to Collector iMaxwell, it inspired general discus¬ sion ainouk politicians of all parties, for it was known that oCngressman r'''itzgerald of Urooklyn, was sponsor for several democrats in that city whose endorsement by the local or¬ ganization was certain. That pies- sure was bi-ougbt to bear to secure the appointment of one of these men was evident from tfte attitude of Lead¬ er John .McCooey, who suddenly de- (-lined to discusa the mat ler with re¬ porters.
The name of Keith was canried to President Wilson by the Long Island l^ongressman, Lathrop Urown of St

Contrary tf) the expectations of more than i()0 Freeporters, many ot them viomen, the adjourned session of the aununl school meeting whicb brought out a heated contest uu last Tuesday evening, was conducted with an un¬ usual lack erf enthusiasm in tbe audi torlum of the bigh school last evenin.g. Tbere was no outbursts and apparent¬ ly no one felt called upon lo raise his voice in eloquent address. The show-er and the overcast heavens had a dampening effect on the villagers and a brand new gavel presented by Supervsor Hiram H. Smith, was un doubtedly responsible tor the Quiet. although it was rapped but a few Limes during the more than two hour.- iliai the meeting was in session.
The adjourned meeting bad but one function—the election of a member ol the Board of Education in place of Wal'er B. Cozzens, whose terms e.\- pires al tbe close of the school year

man of tho meeting presented t^e school district witb the gavel in a fit. ting spoecli. By way of punctuation of bis poignaiii remarks he struck the table several sharp blows witli il.
.\lmost befoi-e the meeting was iiiirly begun, Mr. Cunning rose and vitbdrew bis name a.= a candidate. He gave no reason for the withdrawal, and the audience aiiparently expected none. It was al about 8.30 that the tollers J. Huyler Ellison, Carl Henry. iUnl Edward Keogh began to receive

place beside tbe present incumbent who sought re-election They were: .Iohn !>. Gunning, whose terms also expired: .Maurice ftalpin, and Mrs. Carrie Flint, wifo of Ibe Froeport Po¬ lice Justice.
At the meeting last Tuesday Cbarles C. Moore, tbe well knowii real estate man of Railroad avenue, was the only one of live caiulidate lo re¬ ceive il majority in the election, ani therefore the only choice of the meet¬ ing. He received 100 voles as against ninety-lbree for Cozzens; ninety-two for liiiuning and seventy-six foi Mrs.i Flint. Tbe total vote was 2;'>5.
The tables were reversed at last night's session, and Cozzens was the only candidate lo reteive a inajerity of the 278 votes cast. In oider named Ihe votes for the candidates were ri- corded by tbe tellers as follows: Coz¬ zens 182; Halpin, .SS; Mr... Flint. 5; Cunning, 1, and void, 1
It was at tbe opening of the nieet-
ters of ;in hour lo record the vote which was closed at nine o'clock. Thai there was a delay of probably au bOiUr before tbe count was com¬ pleted, and when it was Henry slamm¬ ed the cover of tbe ballot box closed? It souuded as though the chairman liad again made use of the new gavel, and every body sat up. But It waa some minutes after thkt Mr. Smith read the result of the vole and de¬ clared Coz/.ons tre choiee of the meet¬ ing.
Tliere was a notable absence of ac¬ tors at the meeting and practically no eli'ciioneering. A larger gathering was expecleil, and probably would have been out bad it not been foi- the weather.

Alleged Confessor of Murder
of Mra. Bailey is in Buffalo
Hospital
COMMnTED AS A NERVOUS WRECK
Ideatlfies Dr Carman Among Twen¬ ty-five—Denies Tkat She Fired FaUl Shot Into Doctor's Office
Following the startling announce¬ ment enimating from thc otiiee al District Attonrey Lewis J. Smith, that approximating 200 persons had con¬ fessed in the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, wife of William aBlley at Hempstead on tbe evening of June HO, advices reached Freeport this after¬ noon, which state that Mlse Cohan, once known in this villa/;;e as .Miss .Mary Hanley, who is In an Insane asylum at uBfTalo, N. Y., bad repu¬ diated tliw staiiMuents sbe is uile^'d to have made to the chief of pelice on last Friday. Miss Cohan is the woni- an who has reported to have rushed into police headquarters and iu nn in¬ coherent way, told ot the murder. She was later examined and commiHed to the hospital.
Ou Monday evening. Dr. Edwin Car¬ man and bis attorney Ceorgo M. Levy, left for Niagara Falls. Al that time the best Information concerning the newest i-uufesslou was to the effect that a woman named Hanloy wns iu the custody of the police and would be examined fo determine tbo condi¬ tion of her mind.
"The name means nothing to I)*-. Oarman, said Lovy before leavlnE" "We are going to sse her for purposes of indenUflcatlon. Thre was a woman In rFeeport by the name of Waul**', and another who is said 10 bave mar¬ ried a Hanley. it may l>e thut sbv will be able to identify ibe dm tor."
At tbe hospital in Bufl'alo wliste Levy and Dr. ("arman found .Miss Cohan, the st.iienient was made by Dr. Campbell and Dr. Walsh, Ibal she bad not been i.ammltiecd a« an In¬ sane person, bot because of ber ex¬ treme nervous condition. It was at ibc hospital that the Cohan woman de¬ nied Hiat she had made any conles- slon of tbe slaying of .Mrs. Bailey. Chief of Police Lyon, however, stated empbati<'ally that sbe bad posiivsly staled that r^h.; bad . c-ommitti-d the murder. .Since her ai.peurancn _s<ie has been under treatnint at Ilie hospi¬ tal for a serious disarrangement et tbe mind.
Miss Cohan, according to the re¬ port. Identified Br. Carman at the hospital, V'cklng bkn froin among twenty-flve men who stood together In ene of the corridors. It Is also said that the doctor recogiiiiied her as a former patient.
Considerable slgnificunce attni-hes to the Identlftcailon, becauseh of the statement Ibat there wa^* at least one person in the towu of Hempstead whe would tak tbe life of Dr. Carman If the opportunity afforded. The name of this person the aulboiiiles have declined to disclose. '
At the ottlce of Dlslrici- Allorney Smith die Btat-ement was g4\en out yesterday, that no report other thai wbicti bad been published in the newspapers bad beenjrecelvd rgaid Ing Miss Cohan's contesslon

lect as food for ber cUlldreii. Thoy are fed a, litll milk; however, and members of tbe E«lwards family have taken a sort of a parental interest in them. Bul Mrs. Hen Is a true moth¬ er In every- sense of the wi^rd. .She picks alKiut for her fosier children a« though they were ber own chicks. And yeslerday whon ."lie laid an egg she actually didn't croak about It as every¬ body knows hen are won't to do.
And during thu thunder shower last evening sbe a^issted tbe little kit I en; to a rootit taht was safe above a puddl of water that formed about the coop, the kittens experiencing some considerable difficulty in staying on their perches.
While tbere were grave fars for tbe lives of tbe kittens, it is now tbe gen¬ eral belief of those wbo have watcb^ them that they arc going to live aud girow hardy under the tutllege of tbe
tbe telephone, I have asked the (ioIIch uf uBfffdo for a full report and if iluHe ia any thing to warrant a further In¬ vestigation, I will send u man to Buf¬ falo.
Up to a late hour today no fuiihtx word had been received by tbe Dis¬ trict Attorney.
Alleged confessions bave been pour ing Into the ofBce of Sheriff Stephen P. Pettit and Dlntrlct Attorney SmHh for several weeka past in letter from various parts of tbe country, but lit¬ tle attention has been paid to tbem. They are believed to have come fiom Insane or demented persona whom tbe stories of the murder excited.
Wben Mrs. Carman learned of the confession of the Cohan woman and later of her denial, she declined to make ao)^ ^gmment, except to say that she 1^ MitUfled that tbe truth would come oat md tbat the would be clear¬ ed at cBspiclon.
