a thrilling moment in the lives of the men who started the lodge, and as the flameiB eagerly licked up the crisp edges of the sheets of paper, the members of the lodge stood and sung "Auld L,ang Syhe."
A committee of 27 members of those who came in at the last meeting was calle<l upon to go upon the roof and burn the 27 sticks of red flre, indicat¬ ing that thc $27,000 mortgage had been con.slgn'ed to the flames. Archer K. Wallace and Mo.se.i DaSilva headed the burning committee.
All through the evening, at stated in- terval.s, baloons were released from the lot in back of the club, until 48 had been sent aloft, one for each .state in the union. This was to show that the Elks were an all-American order from! start to flnlsh.

West Hartland of. Pacific Steam ship Company Une, Carrying 125 Passengers, Runs Into Gov ernor of Same Line Off Point Wilson Early Today—Sea Was Quiet
Seattle, Wash., April, 1.—Seven pa.s- sengers and three nienfrt)?r« pf the crew of the Steamship (jOvernor,-i:ammed and sunk by the Steamship West"Hartland, oft I'ola^ Wilson early this mbrijing, aiH- unaccounted for. according to In¬ formation received here today by the Paclflc Steamship Company, owners of the Ciovernor. "^
It was declared, however, these per¬ sons mj[iy have got off in-a boat und will tie picked up by the fleet of 'annches and tugs, now searching. the waters near the scene of the wreck, ,
The Governor was rammed by the freighter West Hartland, and remained afloat 45 minutes, permitting most, if not all the paa.seng«ra and crew to be taken oft in th^ Governor's own Ufa- boats, asalsted by lifeboats from the Weat Hartland.
Fortunately, the Collision occurred on a calm sea, which simpllfled the rescue work.
The West Hartland, which waa bound out from Port WilllamR for Bombay, la taking the aurvlvora to Seattle. The. Governor was bound for Seattle from San Pedro, Ckil., with 125 paoaengers and was operated by the l^ciflb Steam¬ ship Company, which also owns the West Hartland.

Freeport, April 1.—The City of New Vork Intends to start all the old pumping stations in Nassau and Suffolk, m the near future, accord¬ ing to a statement given out recently.
These stations were abandoned by the Mitchel administration but iin appropriation 'was inserted for them in the 1921 bildget to the amount of $1,994,606.
The main lifting station at Mil- burn which serves as a headquarters for minor stations at Freeport, Bell¬ more, Merrick, Wantagh and Mas¬ ¬sapequa, haa been idle for som^ time but there was a time when iill df the stations uaed to furnisli employment for about 400 local people and there Is every reason to believe that if the plants atart again, that policy will be continued.
The capacity of the Milburn sta¬ tion is between four and six million gallons per day. Commissioner Cor- uelius Sheehan in charge of the Brooklyn Department of Water, Light and Gas, stated today that while the city did not need tlie additional help of these abaiiUbncd Mtations, it was possible that the Catskill supply might have something happen to il in which case the city would be left in a sad predicament.
During the Mitchel administration It was decided to abandon the sta¬ tions on Long Island because ot the fact that they were not needed al¬ though it was later decided to keep skeleton crews oh some of them to maintain repairs.,
Hylan ofllcials declare that unless something is done to keep the plants in operation the valuable machinery will gradually decay and become al¬ together useless.
At the present time four stations are in operation and 'sixteen havp been scrapped. The amount in the budget is far in excess of what Is needed to keep the present; stations going but is not enough to put the otjiers in working order and pay sal¬ aries. ,

Review Situation From Various An¬ gles Bearing in Mind Labor Question — President May De¬ vote Part of His Message to Con¬ gress to This Perplexing Sub¬ ject
(By IntMnntlonul N>w» >»»rvlcf.) Washington, .\prll 1.—Prvsldenl I lard¬ ing .ind hla cabinet arc today studiously seeking an answer to the railroad puzzle. ^.¦.
The* Presiiient and Ww.-cahinet. it was leoi'iietl, are convinced tliut the Cum- mins-Rsch Law. controlling the traiis- IKirtation systems of the nation, must! be radically <'hang€'d, but thus I'.-ir noj de-flnite iirogiam tor revision of this j law has been advanced which is satis¬ factory, j
The President is expected to dovolc a portion of his message to tlie I'orlli- coming Congress to tho question of llie raiiioads, anrt is anxious to suggi-st delinite retnodies, but out of the maws of data and suggestions laid before him, there has been no real cemstruc- tive plan for lifting fhe railroads out of the mire of flnancial diftlcultie.s.
Having conferred at length with Chairman Barton of the Railroad Labor Board, and Chairman Clark of the In- terstato Commerce Comml.ssion, with re- ^rd to the entire railroad situation, it is expected that the Pi'ip.sident will take up the problem with his cabinet today. Tlie administration, although anxious to afford a Quiik remedy, will proceed cautiously in the matter, it is under-, atood. for there are some membera oJ tbe ca|jinet who believe that tlu? pres¬ ent conditions existing on tlitr railroads is not indicative of the true aituation. The effect of the business deiiresslon are now showing In the railroad re¬ ports, and some members of thc cabin¬ et hold that the real value of th^ Cummins-Each l..fiw can not be deter¬ mined until business is again at nor¬ mal, hencs titey catition tfgalnst toe quick judgment in a time when gener¬ al buslneBH ia suffering from depression. The question of rate reductions Is absorbing a great deal of the atten¬ tion of the cabinet, for while It 4s held by many tbat a rate reduction Is neces¬ sary, there are others who contend that reductlona arc necessary only upon cer¬ tain commodities and that present rates can stand on the commodities of high value, wblch are not trans|>orted In great quantities tn Interstate Com¬ merce.
Back of the whole tangle lies the question of labor and wqiges. Thi«» per¬ plexing matter is one which mutt be dealt with carefully, as administration leaders raallse that It is loaded with dynamite, but It l.s certain that the Preaident and his cabinet will talwi^o acthnfi'wlth regard to wage reducU»n« untn they have made a moat cjireful Htudy of the fundamental ailments of the railroads.

Tlie Board of lOthicatlon netted more than $L'I,000 above par on its sjile of $300,000 worth of the distHct bonds which were sold at the meeting called for that purpose last night.
There were six bids made for the Ijorwls. which will bcjir six j)er cent In¬ tereat. The highest was that of Harris, Forbes & Company of Nt'w York, buy- era of the last previous |.SOO,000 i.sauo of thla district. Their bid wifs 1107.143, which made the total revenue-from the aale $321,429.
The next bighestf bid waa tlrat of George B. (Jibbons & Co., $106,611. This Concern also put In an alternative bid. stating that If the Board would make the Interest 5 1-2 per cent, they would pay $101.01 for thc bonds,
A summary o^ tixe bids follown: Har¬ ris, Forbes ft Co., |107,I43; (Jeorge B. Gibbons & Co., $106,511: Oeorge B. GIblions & Co.. (5 1-2) $101.01; Remirtt, Hodges & Co.. and National City Co., $105,273; Har.uah.s. Ballon A Lee, $103,791, and Sherwood, Merrifleld A Co.. $106.03.

The members of the Board of Bduca- tron were gratifled at the large premium received, especially In iflew ot the fact that six per ctnt notes of tho City ot New Yark were not taken when offered only the day before.

years con¬ nected with the sheriff's ofllco in his home county, and served a.s deputy, then under-sheriff, and flnally as sher¬ iff, reMring to hnve people aay of him: "Doyle was the best sheriff the bounty ever had." He is the mnn who drovi' the Camoria, a secret Italian .society, to the members of which Had In-en traced many crimes, out of Westchester. -Vfter considering the conditions to be met here, he told Supervisor Smith, in the presence of Ille wrilei-, tliat with all the |>eae"> offlcer.s now scatteieil throughout Nassau County, Workinu' undei- a propel- and active head, one who would Insi.st on his orders heing carried out. that a police force able lo coiie ¦(kith all situations couUl easily he evolved.
.Much, he .said, depended on the man It the heaU of lhe police system. The sheriff thought he should be a man who bolh an executive and an active iiieiiiber of his own for<'e. He thought he shoulil he a man who could inspire ithers lo do tilings, anil Ihal b.v the very example be would fuiniMll he. would bring Ihe force to a high standard of Bicicncy. It is commoji knowledge that Slieiifi; Doyle was such a leader.
.Sheriff Doyle, piea.scd for details of hir; work in We.stehester, said thai h had no county police force, but Ihat lie liail to content himself with Ihe men at hand. These men, hi' .sjiid. were not especially trained offlcers, and at that lime the .state K'onstabulary had not come. The force he had were deputy ^¦iheriffs, who were cmirt oftlcers diiilns? the day time, but all of Ihem could Ix reached b.v teU'phone In a shorl lime after they left the coiirthousi;. Th lived in all parts of a big county, iind when a crime was conunilled, the local people, authorities or plain citizens wer instructed to report it at once to th central olflce, Ihe sheriff's ofllce, in Ihe day time, and'^-t.he jai| at night. The nearest peace.Offlcer was sent lo Ihe scene of the crime, whether It was day or nifjht, and In this work Village |ioli<'e ofbcc.rs took a real inteiest in working with the sheriff, and the sheriff .said. "I never failed to give them credit and conitnend theiti for the work they did, " Once Jl Clime was repoited, the sirerilT or .someone else,' a flr.st giado deput.v of the under-sheriff, left the <oiirtliouse for tbe place where the crime was done "Vou would be surprised how well the great country territory outside of the cities can be policed in this manner, bm It Is only well done by constant work and vigilance," sjild the sheriff.
He explained that sometimes itwa.'^ hard to get village police ofllcers to work thc sberifTs men, aad harder still hnpresH village police with the liii. (ortance of making a quick rei>orl on rimes commited In the villages whei" he criminal has estaped. "We found the village ijollcemaii vanted to make the cap»ure, and where ve could, we let him do it, but we did lot fall to apply the proper means ot laving him make a report to us as eur- y as possible.I f he didn't re|>ort crimes, we .soon knew it, and so did he," saiil Iherlff Doyle.
"You said you had fourteen viHaKe.s In ^our county, which Is attoiit the sanTelhat we had. We had a much larger ^territory, and all of the noii* end ot our county was open to the criminal Who was fast enough to go thut way." the sheriff continued, "lio tbat our situation mrp^ rnpte compllcat«sl in that at least one end" of the count.v and all of tbe river shore serveO ai" avenuea of escape. We had to act quickly to close atl of them, as you mu«t."
'We did It by telephone. I had no police Pbone •yatom so I nuule each deputy! pay for bjb own 'phon*. an In¬ justice to the moa, for they were i<c»nlv P«ld from S«.3M to $2,000, and I shouM b*ym pt^lA for th«M 'phone* frmu conmy tvtttP.
