HEHPSTEiUHTES UMEDASTO WARHEMORIAl
RepresentatiTet of Organizations Entlmsiastic Orer Dcsifn Chosen From Seycral Submitted—Aboot $5,000 Already Pledfed and Purpose Is To Proyide Most Beautiful One On Long Island
Hempntead, June 4.—Approximately $5,000 wn.s pledged toward the war mcmorl.al fund at n mpctinK of repre- sentatlvcH of Hempstead organizations, held at the Ciill of Chairman CharleH W. Carman, laHt nlRht.
Mr. Carman Hubmltted .several sketches from different de.slgncrs. One particularly appealed to those present, numbering about thirty. Th'in design i.s Homl-clrcular, wilh shaft in the cen¬ ter and .seatH extending from either side. The Bhaft ha.s a reces.s into which is set a large vane. On the face of the vase is the Inscription, "Sacred to the Memory of Tho.se Who Made the Supreme Sacrifice." To the left and rlKht of the reccHs reHpectlvcly are the niimeral.s, 1917 and 1918.
While no deflnite cost of thiH design has been .specified pending the decision of the general committee as to its suit¬ ability,, it is estimated that Jl.'i.OOO will be needed. A motion wa.s unanimously adopted to select this plan and to en¬ deavor to raise the required amount.
The sketch shows a beautiful de¬ sign. It Is believed the memorial will be the finest on I..ong I.sland. It ma> be made of Indiana llme.stone or whito marble. Estimates are to he obtained on each stone. Opinion favored white marble. --^^j.
Chairman Carni^nw;omI.s^ thnt the executive comfHit^'eriVvould proceed at once to obtain estlmatds, together with a more detailed sketch. As .soon as something deflnite Ks known another meeting of the general committeo will bu called.
Representatives of various organiza¬ tions pledged from $60 to $1,500 cuch, the flre department naming the latter ninount. All expressed the opinion that their organizations would do better than the pledges. Mr. Fay, phy.sical director of the schools, reported that school children had already raised near¬ ly !(tl,000 and could safely pledg'e that amount and probably more.
One of the pleasant features was a practical joining in the movement by the (Jhamber of Commerce. William Itiippuport, representing the Chamber, offered to the committee the monument now in the custody of the Chamber. It was purchased with funds contributed through the Chamber.
Ho aald the Chamber felt that the money the people had contributed should not be thrown awny, but that the memorial committee is free to util¬ ize it in any way it sees flt. He said that while no action had been taken by the Chamber regarding flnanciai sup¬ port, ho was sure that Chamber mem¬ bers would get behind the movement. The sentiment expressed was heartily api>lauded and a motion was carried to accept the offer of the Chamber.
So deflnite plan of campaign wlli be adopted, other than working through tlio organizations, until after the de¬ tailed desisn and estimates have been obtained am'. It is known definitely what is needed.
A housQ to house canvass was sug¬ gested, but the Idea is to make this an absolutely free will offering.
Dr. V, A. Bosenthal was appointed n committee in charge of such solicita¬ tion as may be necessary among resi¬ dents.
E^thu.slasm was manifested at the mcatlng aud a determination to "put It across" wsk evident.

Big Top Crowded for Excellent Performance—Boys Greet Wag¬ ons at Dawn—May Wirth Big Attraction—Street Parade Con¬ tained Wonders — Long Island Proves Good Circus Territory
Freeport, June 4.—The two week.s' tour of the Walter U Main Show closed todny In Preeport when the big wagons and eight •horse''^hitches rum¬ bled up Bedell street to the grounds at Atlantic avenue.
Freeport was thero to meet them. Small boys stared at the canvas cov¬ ered wagons and watched the big top go up In jig time, turninw-^he^liafleball diamond Into a tented city. )
The sale of tickets for the afteinoon .soon exhausted the supply. The de mand for tonight is aa great. The repu¬ tation of the show is firmly established. The Long I.sland toui* probably is the banner stand of the sea.son.
Iiain that threatened to put the "cu.s" in circus hehl off, nnd the side shows and outside attractions did a land offlcc business.
Dainty May Wirth, 1^1 nnd the whole Wirth family, whose appearance with the circus haa been one continu¬ ous ovation in every place visited wa.s the bright particular star of the per¬ formance this afternoon and they were forced to re-enter the ring and bou' their acknowledgements a second tln^. Mhsa Wlrth tuPned somersaults and indulged In other acrobatic stunts to the amazement of the big audience and brother Phil furnished plenty of com-' edy and Incidentally did some very fine riding. The entire family proved that they were in a cla.ss by themselves when it comes to real equestrianism.
The circus provided plenty of Other thrills, however, with the wonderful acts of the Florenz gymnasts and head balancers, the Gregorie family, who carried the entire furnishings of a modern parlor up and down a flight of stairs on their heads, the Morales family in a novel exhibition on the trampoline bars, and slides by the hair, teeth and upside down from the top of the tent to the ground, and Felix, a youth who turned 52 back somer¬ saults in succession. The trained ele¬ phants gave a remarkable exhibition of intelligence, the boomerang hat throw¬ ing and the bicycle riding won much applause and the long program pleased every one present.
Fletcher Smith, press agent of the circus, states that the show has done a phenomenal business on the Island, seating people on the ground in every place but Port Jefferson, where it rained and even then there was good attendance. ACcordinif to his state¬ ments the tour was n flnanciai and ar¬ tistic success and the show will place Long Island on its Itinerary another season.
The circus made a splendid street parade this morning and the show cre¬ ated a (fiost favorable Impression by its coiu-teous treatment of all patrons and ita alMence of rowdyism. Tbe show will leave after tonii^-ht's per- formanoe for Yonkers, where it plays Monday.
Hempstead, June 4.—pus owners who h^ve been ojicrating between Freeport. Hempatead and Mineola, have decid»;d they will make no further effort to run In competition with the trolley line and will make no applications, ar I'lle certificates of convenience and necessity.
This is the result of the adoption by the village and town hoards of resolu¬ tions plac^lng the bus lines under the Iirovislon of the transportation law, which means that they must operate under the same conditions as the trolley lines, if at all.
One of the bus owners declared last night that the local bus men will oper¬ ate in North Hempstead, where there is no trolley line to compete with and where their services are needed, ijather than spend their money trying to ^-e Hempstead communities service which they evidently do not want.

The plaintiff, George A, Peterson, said he had driven voung Belmont and two fashionable young women companions home in his t:ixl early Sunday morning and had de¬ manded $12 for the ride ot eight miles.
I'c^terson charged in court that Bel¬ mont and his companions were "drunk, singing and howling," the mil¬ lionaire's son spicing the rido with curses. He said Belmont refused to pay the $12, giving him instead a roll of live "perfumed" dollar bills. On his protest, he charged. Belmont had showered him witii unprinialilc epi¬ thets and then struck him. The driver now threatens a damago suit.
Young Belmont and the two women who accompanied him ou the ride, Mrs. Grace Allen of New York and MisH Beth Martin, of Lynbrook, houso guests of tho Belmonts, denied tho driver's charge tliat Ihey h;id been drunk.
Mrs. .Belmont, testifying for her hus¬ band, declared they had all been to gether at an inn and she, suffering from a headache, had taken the Bel mont car ahd returned home. Wlier her husband and the two women ro turned they gave no sign whatever that there had been drinking, sho de¬ clared.
Immediately after dismissal of the caso Belmont was served with a sinn- mons in a civil action by Peterson for 12,000.

Mr. Fay, phy.sical director of the schools, reported that school children had already raised near¬ ly !(tl,000 and could safely pledg'e that amount and probably more. One of the pleasant features was a practical joining in the movement by the (Jhamber of Commerce. William Itiippuport, representing the Chamber, offered to the committee the monument now in the custody of the Chamber. It was purchased with funds contributed through the Chamber. Ho aald the Chamber felt that the money the people had contributed should not be thrown awny, but that the memorial committee is free to util¬ ize it in any way it sees flt. He said that while no action had been taken by the Chamber regarding flnanciai sup¬ port, ho was sure that Chamber mem¬ bers would get behind the movement. The sentiment expressed was heartily api>lauded and a motion was carried to accept the offer of the Chamber. So deflnite plan of campaign wlli be adopted, other than working through tlio organizations, until after the de¬ tailed desisn and estimates have been obtained am'. It is known definitely what is needed. A housQ to house canvass was sug¬ gested, but the Idea is to make this an absolutely free will offering. Dr. V, A. Bosenthal was appointed n committee in charge of such solicita¬ tion as may be necessary among resi¬ dents. E^thu.slasm was manifested at the mcatlng aud a determination to "put It across" wsk evident. EXPEQ F. C.

The trained ele¬ phants gave a remarkable exhibition of intelligence, the boomerang hat throw¬ ing and the bicycle riding won much applause and the long program pleased every one present. Fletcher Smith, press agent of the circus, states that the show has done a phenomenal business on the Island, seating people on the ground in every place but Port Jefferson, where it rained and even then there was good attendance. ACcordinif to his state¬ ments the tour was n flnanciai and ar¬ tistic success and the show will place Long Island on its Itinerary another season.

Tbe show will leave after tonii^-ht's per- formanoe for Yonkers, where it plays Monday. Hempstead, June 4.—pus owners who h^ve been ojicrating between Freeport. Hempatead and Mineola, have decid»;d they will make no further effort to run In competition with the trolley line and will make no applications, ar I'lle certificates of convenience and necessity. This is the result of the adoption by the village and town hoards of resolu¬ tions plac^lng the bus lines under the Iirovislon of the transportation law, which means that they must operate under the same conditions as the trolley lines, if at all. One of the bus owners declared last night that the local bus men will oper¬ ate in North Hempstead, where there is no trolley line to compete with and where their services are needed, ijather than spend their money trying to ^-e Hempstead communities service which they evidently do not want.
