Washington, June 17,—Two j , ,, ... .
I Oiagarna of Htoksvllle, who did the men were Injured In contests al the „tu„t ,„ g ,.5 tj,,„ y^^. There were
tournament of the Southern New York Firemen's Association hero yestorilay. Frank Rose, son of Frank E. Rose, .if Freeport, Is in Niissau HosplUil, sutTor- ing frnni a blow on the head, rooeiv- ed when a nozzle In the motor pump contest, brok.. away from tiitii and threw hlin to the pavement.
Tho other Is Treadwell Lewl.i, of Rayslde avi.nue. Clyster Uay, wIki was cut on the head and had a bad shaking, when he JuihisnI from a moving appar¬ atus and fell to the ground.
Rose was ri'ported to b«» restloK com- fbrfahly al th»' hospital loday. While the hospital authorities say the Injur¬ ies are not serious It was admitted that Rose may have a fractured skull. This apparently has not been determined.
Rose and BIU Rrlggs were at the nozzle when Hose 4 waa competlnK in the motor pump contest. Connection was quickly iiiadc and thp water came through with such force as to throw tioth men. Rose lay absolutely .Mtlll. Comrades rushed up to him and carried him to an adjoining lawn. A do^-tor was asked for by Announcor Archer B. Wallace and when one was located, ho advised removal to the hospi lul. This was done at once.
Rose is about 2X yi'ars old. Ho Is building a home on West r>ean street, Fraeport and It Is common talk that when oompleted he will marry Miss Florence .Smith and they will moke It their home. Ho is an employee of the C9lumbI^i).^Bron||e^ Con^OWUoo.- .
Prcissure at the hydrant In the tour¬ nament is said to hp 120 pounds and with a pumpci-'s capacity for pumping more than 700 gallons a minute, the combined force was too much fnr the two men.
After the accident,'* reducers were put on the pump.
Treadwell Lewis, of Oyster Bay, was reported this morning to be recovering from the shock of his experience. He is 29, married, with family. He was unoonclous for a time Immediately af¬ ter tho accident, but the Injuries are not considered serious. It was at first reiiorted that Herbert Hawxhurst, win¬ ner of the individual ladder climbing contest, waa the Injured man.
State Constable James Buckley was thrown from his horse during the Hook A Ladder <:ontest, when apparatus ran tato him near the starting line. Neither he^nor the horse was badly hurt.
The crowd, which continuously In¬ sisted on pushing out on the course, was responsible for aerveral minor ac- cldento, the result of those In front suddenly pushing back as the speeding automobiles came along and causing upsets lx<hind them. A child was knocked down but not seriously hurt. Tournament Reglns
The Hook A l.Adder contest, for hand drawn apparatus, was the flrst event of the afternoon. The last event of the niglit was tho chemical company run¬ ning contest and waa carried out un. der electric lights with red lanterns used for starting flags. It was after 9 o'clock when the contests ended. Many records'of last yenr were broken.
The crowd that fliled the grartd stand nnd part of the i>ourse, were "stickers" or else they were deceived by the daylight saving time. Many wore on hand when tho laat event waa completed.
In the hand ditiwn Hook A Ladder contest. Alpha H. A L. Co. of Roose¬ velt was flrsi. 38 t-5, secon^; Van Ouard of I'atchogue second, S4, and in a tie for third place, between the Alerts of Oreo* Neck, Amityville No. 1 und IsUp, who had each made S5 see- onda Alert did It In 31 3-6, and won the tWrd position. There were eight contestants. •

Novelty in Ladder Climbing
A novelty was Introduced In Imlder <'llmblng In the Motor Hook A Laddt^r contest, when Thomas Murray, of the winning team, Clen Cove Salvage Corfis, ran up the ladder while It was being raised and turned to continue to the top just before It reached posi¬ tion . against tho arch. The time was
32 3-5 seconds. Olen (;ov« Engine (Mmpany, with Murray again the lad¬ der man, was second, 33 l-O; Halaman- der H. A L. Co. of 0<ean Side third,
33 2-r.; and Amityville, No. 1, fourth, S3 4-r). The time last year made by Van Ouard of Patchogue was 37 sec¬ onds. Thero were twenty-three <'on- testants.
The ladder man of the Alerts of Oreat Neck, had a narrow escape from Injury when tho ladder broke as it came In contact with the arch, about ono third down from the top apd he swung out nearly a foot as he reiu'hcd the top rung. His weight was in hi.i favor, for had ho been heavier, the opposite side would surely have broken and caused a fall. Shouts of warning came from thousands of throats. Chtot Smith a Water Hero
Tho efficiency Contest produced a hero, in the eyes of the spec'tators, in former Chief M. Hmith of Port Wash¬ ington, who saved many from getting a "ducking" when he conquered sever¬ al streams of water, deserted by con¬ testants, when they got away from tham. Chief Smith waitod for each evidence he was not afraid of getting wet. When he was called to the arch, some one shouted:
"Sorry to loose you, we'll get wet now."
Dauntless Hose No. 2 of Amityville won .the- contest in 18 seconds; Free- port Hose No. 1 was second with 17 and Roosevelt were ' tied for position at 17 1-5 and In the run off. Alpha scored 20. There were twenty-eight contestants. Time last year 17 sec¬ onds.
In the hand drawn running hose con¬ test, Van Ouard of Patchogue was Hrst with 35 2/6; Hicksville No. l, second 38 1/6 and Dauntless Nif. 2 of Amityville third at 40 1/5. There were eight con¬ testants. The time last y^ar was 44 4/G.
There were thlrty-slx entrants In the motor hose contest. Olen Cove Chemi¬ cal Knglne Co. made the best time, 37 3/5, but ona of its noula men dropped his hat and a protoat entered by Hlcks¬ vllle resultt^ in the levying of a pen. alty of 5 seconds, which Increased Olen Cove's time to 42 3/5 and put them in fourth place.
Van Ouard of Patchogue won with 38 seconds flat: Oyster Bay was seoond with 38 4/6: Alert Engine, Team No. 3. of Great Neck, third 412/5, and Olen Cove fourth, 42 3/5. The time last year was 43 seconds, established by Van Ouard of Patchogue.
Hicksville was pei-mitted to re-run lie- cause there seemed to be some question In tha minds of the judges whether time was taken on flrst or second drop of tha storting flag. It did not altect the re¬ sult.
Woodlands of Rockville Centre was impeded coming down the course by an automobiia which came out of a side street in front of tham and thay were given permiaston to try again. The flrst time was 48 seoondil and the second try was 47 3/S.
Woodmere Hose Co. No. 1 entered with a three man team, two at tha pump and ona at tlie nonle. They did it in 48 2/5 aeconda.
The accident to Roae of Freeport, seemed to put a damper on tiie Motor Pump contest. There were only five contestants. Locust Valley was flrst, 61 seconds; Alert Hoae of Islip second. 54 1-5 and PacUto Engine A Hose Oo^ Of Olen Cove.' thbrd. 55 ttt.,' IVitriot Hose of Freepert was the flrat dovm the courae.'t'The time last year wa^ 69 8 3 seconds cstabltohed. .by this com¬ pany.

Mineola, June 17.—Attorney Oeorge Mor^n Wva-oT Freeport, associate of former"Just/ce Bciidder for the defense in the trial of Thomas V. Barbutl and law partner of the former Supreme Court Justice, has made a statement for piibllcaUon denylnK the testimony of .Mervln L. Dickerson, of Lynbrook, which was- given at the Barbutl trial.
Barbutl testified that he and C'arman Plant concoj'ted a story for Iilckerson to tell at the tlrst Plant trial that il was rehearsed In Mr. Levy'.s ofllce.H in the presence of I'lant, Leo Fishel who waw aBS0ciate<l with Mr. Levy In the defen.se of Plant, and Mr. Levy.
Dickerson later confeH.sod thnt he per¬ jured himself, that the .story was wholly untrue and his indictment and that of Barbutl followed.
Mr. Levy and Mr. Fl.shel lioth wanted to testify In the B;irbuti (-as*- to refute Dlckerson's testimony, but former .lus¬ tlce Scudder advised them not to take the stand on the ground that it wus Barbuti's trial and not theirH. that it would cloud the Issues in the Harbuti caso and that former Justice Scudder had decided to ignore the story a,s licinR beyond feellef. Mr. I.,evy'8 statement foUows: "Dickerson was brought to my office after the flrst I'lant. trial had .started and was introduced to me in my wait¬ ing room by I'lant as the man who had lunch with him on a cert'.jn day at the Elks Club In Freeiiprt. Dickerson was than questioned by me and Leo Fishel and he told us both ^substantially the same story that he swore to at the first trial. The only matters of sny import¬ ance In this story were that on that day he dined with Plant and Barbutl at the KUts Club at Freeport.
"I followed the same tactics with Dickerson that any attorney adopts with any witness in an important caae, namely, to question him as to all the facts that he claimed that he knew, in order to get at the truth of his Hlate¬ ment.
"Even at this date this self-confessed perjurer admits that he told both Mr. Fishel and me that on the day in ques- tton he dined at the Elks with Plant and Barbutl and only claims that K^as auggested to him at my ofllce that he had met Plant and Barbutl on the day In question in Mineola iuHtead of Freeport. "What difference it could possibly have made to Plant's case or to me where he met Plant that day is beyond my comprehension. 1 c-an only repeat that Dickerson told me substantially what he tesUfled to.'
The purpose of showing that Plant and Barbutl were at the Elks Club'in¬ stead ot at Ellison's restaurant, where the state's witnesses swore they were, was for the purpose of discrediting these witnesses and for the purpose of showing that Plant and Barbutl did not consort wtth self-confessed criminals.

The Chaml>er of Commerce is now ready to take up matters jiertalnluK tn the welfare of the village and will soon act luxin the proposition to widen Main street:
Capt. Hanse brought up the matter of the waste land known as the "rrt^.- port Meadows." He said they cost the town $1500 in excess of receipts from them.
Some $50,000 has been spent on them for extermination of mosquitoes. Capt. Hanse would have the village sell these lands, that tbey might be improved and bring in a revenue.
He cited the caee of other meadows near Garden City that are now devel oped and bringing the town a handsome proflt. The elimination of the Freeport meadows would reduce the tax rate considerably, he plated.
There wHI be another meeting next Wednesday at Engine 1 house. There¬ after the organisation will meat once a month unless spectoi meetings are called.
Capt. iHanse promissd that progress. j ive measures will be adopted in the near future. He said the Freeport Chamber I of Commerce is ta the limelight to atoy.

Mineola. .lune 17.—Orderly progress and an equally orderly development of .N'a.ssau County In its natunil resources and the broadening of it as a homo builders' oommunity I.s the future that. Frank Bnlley, vice president of tho Title Guarantee and Trust Company, .sees for thi.s county.
In his oflflce in Brooklyn recently Mr, Bailey s(>oke of this in an Interview - with a representative of The Dally Review. He also .said that Nasaau County needs io rcKiiIale the Krowth that will riirhtly I"' hci» by proper commission.
Mr. Bailey, who besides hia interest in the county as tho vice president of the Title Cuiirantee and Trust Com¬ pany • which company has u tre¬ mendous sum invested in Nassau f'ounty property and which com¬ pany is banking on the futai'c of il just as are ali Na.saau residents, Is himself directly in touch with the ••oun¬ ty through his personal as well as hts business connections.

"You need a zoning commission Vlt, Xa.s8aii County Just a.s thi'y havo It in -New York City," said Mr. Halley. His arKunient for It wa.s convlnclnif.
"You ne<sd a soninK commission to guards fittrt'fully,_ the future growth of evei'y village and every hamlet that will Is'come a village. You need a zonlnK commission, or caii it what you will so long a.s it dm's Its work, ap¬ pointed by the lioard of Suiierviaora, of men who will work hand, in iflove with every force that is for the future f youi:
cop nty. t
"Every villa«'e should be planned out as (.'arefully as If it had been drawn out hy an archite<'t on u drafting board. It was all line in the old days to preserve the traditions that cajne from the cow path that became Main street and thc-n b«;caihe the great artery of travel that led lo a nation's traffic; from o<-ean to ocean. If thut cow path had been madn by a cow that walked straight at the start It wouldn't huvo been straightened at Kieat expense III "*'", later years. ,
"What, then, is the thing to do? Have hamlets develop Into orderly vil¬ lages, have villages Jn the onward . march of progress deVeloi) Into great cities. That is the reason for a zoning commission now. That body could plan for the future. It could confer with every vUlage board, it could take up mat¬ ters with the town boards and cooper¬ ate in everyway with, the Itourd of Supervisors which body would upiioinC it.
"Every vUlage should be planned out and progress deliberately, not go for¬ ward In a hit or miss manner. .Such commission would eliminate any such condition as exists when a garage ia built under the eaves of a church or a misflt pla^-e of business by the sido of a high class residence. It would prevent a lot of trouble and make for a lietter and happier village community life, besides enchanclng the value ot property generally.
"The streets should lie widened, ibOBfi ttiat are to<i narrow, and when new streets are coiistructtsl and open¬ ed they should be of a stanilard width so that where villages adjoining eacli other have through streets they would' all lie the same width. Projiorty abut¬ ting thereon would lie greatly bene¬ fited.
"The sonlnK commission would have many functions, .is many us desired, but it would have primarily the matter of the .orderly, the deliberate devetop¬ ment of the whole counly.
"Under this commission a row of tenements with no sewage facilities would lie Ull inipossiblUty and there the health of the communUy would be conserved and Its real estate values enhanced.
'The possibitltiaii for advantages that would acCrca to the villages through this commlsston are unlimited, ths leviln ot a straggling unreQutotsd growth could be avoided and t^ com- mission would be ptannlng geasrally for the development aad betterment of the oounty."
