Two civilians' an<^ a constable were ahot to death durlnc a fltrht which de¬ veloped while- crown forces were search- ln» a houae at Newry.
A train carrylnr British troops was attacked from ambush near Farran. County Kerry, and one member of the crown forces waa killed.
Hempstead, .lune !).—With only onr Knmc aKainst it durinR the seu.son, and Ihat nol lost entirely on merits, the llemimtend IllKh. Hchool liaseball team rlKhtly claims the cliampionship in itf class on LonK Island. In fact the boy.--^ hnve entered a I'la.ss by themw-lves, and so fnr ns has been disclosed, there is not a. hiKh .school team in these part^ that <'i«n even ))Ut up an InterestinK Kume aKainst them. They have played the hest of them In this county and in Queens, and in, every ease they havf come out vict«irioUH, their last notnbl< victory being a shut-out for the Ja maica IllKh .School, with the score 11 to 0.
These results have been brought al>oul primarily by head work. They havi put brains Into l>aseball, as well as Intc their book studies. They have beer tauKht to use their heads In athleticf by competent ccKichlng. This is not taking any Klory from the players, wh< undonbtedly have the stuff in them Coaching hns simply brought it nut tc a greater extent in a shorter time thaii it would otherwise huve develo|>ed.
The fine rec-ord of the season's work ijpcording to .1. H. Kay. physical diiectoi of the .s<'hool. who has crmched the boys is duo to two results which have been striven for continually. The flrst ol these, and perhaps the most neeessar> one, was to make the boys play togeth¬ er harmoniously, no matter what angli nt discouragement the game developed or what s|:>ecial type of error some play er committeil. When this goal was fin ally attained a decide*! change Was not iceable in the team, says Mr. Fay.
Then the bo.vs had to be taught t( obey orders and abide by the results whether good or bad.
"To play tht hit nnd run, to stea: liases, to worl< for pusses and to squeezt a man are hard things for Iwys to mas ler," .fttid Mr. Fuy. "They mastered It however, and con.seqiiently nre at tht top of the bnt,"
DisruHsIng the strong points of tht various members of the tt^am, .Mr. Faj said:
"Conran, the cajitaln, is a versatili pluyer. capable of i>laying in nny \toni tion and maintaining the standard thai a ca|)tain should. He quickly graspet the fact that individual heroism did nol mean a chiunpionship team and wa> most helitful in molding the players ti this point of view. In ability he ha; everything, und to him is due the cred It for becointng a real captain.
"Stroleske Is another athlete of stel I.ir ability. In fact a restraining hunt is needed with Kddle, as he will outdi himself in his efforts. He can hit tt any part of the Held for homers ar sin gles, having severnl of the former t( hia credit.

Mineola, June 9.—Unrequited affec¬ tion, an attempt at burglary, or an at¬ tempt at murder, are all connected or| interwoven in stories that come from the wounding of Stanley Bruce, Pole, 3t i years old. He is In Nas.sau Hospital here, with a bullet hole through hisj pleural sac. An armed guard is ut his \ bedside.
Bruce refuses to talk about his In- ' j%<Tie.s. Sheriff Charles W. Smith sent '. Deputy Leonard Thorne to unravel thei tapgled ends of the stories that enmesh! the prisoner. i
Deputy Thorne and Maurice Cohen, court interpreter, talked with Hruce; today. He says he called on a girl at Kennsington, Oreat Neck. There he was Invited to a cellar and was shot.
An invitation to a cellar has a pe¬ culiar significance these days, and the authorities tried to learn If it was a '*waP' cellar,.
Another story Is that Bruce shot him self because of tmreOtulted affection. Still another I.s that there was an at¬ tempt at burglary, and Bruce was ahot In the side.

MISS BROMWELL'S DEATH NOT DUE TO OTHERS'NEGLIGENCE
I Acting Coroner Jones Takes Tes¬ timony Showing Aviatrix Did I Net Heed Warning
I Hempstead, .lune 9.—Miss Laura ' Bromwell's death, when her plane wtit- ' wreckt.>d at Oarden City Sunday, was due to accident. So decided Justice \V:il I ter R, Jones, sitting as a coroner here yesterday. Coroner Jones sifppleinenls this witli the statement that he linds no fulpable negligence.
Miss Hromwell, 2.1 y<>ar old aviatrix. I was killed when a JN 4 Canadian plane in which she wus making an exhibition flight dashed to the ground.
The mo.st imiKirtant witne.ss called by .liidgi' Jones yesterilay was Lloyd I'er teaud, teat pilot for the Aero Import CoriMirution, whos hangars are al llaz elhurst Field. Mr. Herfeaud talked with Miss Hromwell ^when she reached the Held Sunday in comimny with Capt. i ieorge Kelly.
The piltit quoted the aviatrix as say¬ ing that Richard l>epew, Jr., flight man ager, for the Curtiss company, had told her not to "stunt" with the Canadian plane anJi Miss Bromwell added.
"What can^I do In a case like that?"
.Mr. Berteaud says he saw the girl
send the plane up to 2,000 feet, make a
"ragged" ItHip and fall in an attempt to
make another. He saw the plane stall
when near the peak of the second hxip.
aaw the aviatrix apparently trying to
"rudder" out of her trouble, saw the

employed in his work until three weeks; turn three-quarters over and dash to
the ground with motors full on.
He had carefully Inspected the con trtii wires, testilled Mr. Berteaud. and found them Intact. He added he wa.'^ convinced the acoident was not due to any fault of the mofors or the plane.
He thought it was due prinruirily to a momentary loss of control and he thought that after the plane was on its back Miss Bromwell was hanging out of the safety straps away from the con
oner victimized by the hunger str1kt>r.
Marshal hud not euten for live tlays and ll began to Irnik as if he would ac¬ complish his purpose. He turned bad; the jiri.son fare regularly and even re¬ fused dainties set before him to tempt his appetite.
Piant, with many friends throughout theicoimt.v, had received a present of u chicken to supplement Ihe prison foixl. It had been prepared for him about tho fifth day of the hunger strike liy Mar¬ shal.
"Try him on a leg of that chicken," suRgestetl Plant when he learned that Warden John Dunbar was concerned about the continued hunger strike.
The Warden did. He sent a keeper with the leg-and the chicken attached —to the ,cell of the striker who sniffed, got one gooti inhalation of that temp- i tlngly roasted bird and declared the strike off right then and there. After that they had to watch him lest he get foundertnl.
Plant? He ate slum for thnt day but it gave him a laugh anyway.

Freeport. June 9,-The efflclency of the preseftt Village Ho&Vd and fhe neg¬ ligence of the peojile who live along the drain ditches has been brought to light in startling manner by the men who are cleaning the ditches.
In that section of the vlllnge boundt>d on the south by Casino avenue, on the north by .\tlantic avenu*'. on the ea.st hy Roosevelt avenue, and on Ihe west by .South May avenue, is a drain ditch that Is being cleaneil. In that ditch have been fonnd can.s, .shoes, nnd all sorts of ftlth, supposedly ptit there by the ptxiple living in the section named. Heavy weeds. gi-N.ss, mud and tilth hnve been clennetl nut. In .some places tho water could not run.
The cleaning process has brought to light the fact that for the last few yftrs people in that st'ctioti have mnile drains to carry the overflow from ce.ss- liools into the ditch, .so thnt they would not have to clean^nt the ce.ssjiools.
The end of the drain ditcli is on tho beach at Casino Holel. There in tho .stimmer, women and children Imtli every day, running the risk of getting moulhsful of water fliled with the over¬ flow of ce.sH|)ools.
Casino lieach Is the best and most Iiopniar one in the village. The villiige unlhorities are out to .see thnt it i.-- kefit .so. riHiple living nlong 'he sictioii mentioned will be served with s;;inmons and said to be snbject to flnes. Should they ag.'lin tieflle the ditches, more tira.s. tic measure.s wjll be taken.
One case of typhoid in a house nking the section named could easily start au epidemic that could wipe out a good liortion of the town. The conditiun is more than merely dangerou.s, und thti laxity of the people along tho way will bo severely dealt with, ns they must know that their iirnctice is one that Is strictly against the law. . , ,
The drain ditcluN were bnilt to cany oft rain water, and should contain noth¬ ing bul tiaSr wnter. At two places along the stream, pioperly owners have maile h6me» for ducks, and the ducks are growing fat on what they flnd to eat flouting in the water.
Village Preslilent Christie is person, ally superintending the work of getting rid of this tHenace, and both he and Dr. Runcie are going to see to it tliiit nothing like the pre.sent conditions \\lll ever prevail again in the village.
The Boant of Health will act in the matter ut ouce, for Willi ihn liathing season opening the condition is a men¬ ace.
I'he village President and' a Dully Fteview reporter inspected lUe ditches, anil the outlet on the beach yestcriUfy, and watched the overflow from the cess¬ pools emptying into the middle of the bathing beach, that will be crowded with women and childien in nnotheC week or so.
I'eople who rfhy, "Oh, the lioard is wasting our money on old drain tllt(,h«s," might be interested in condi¬ tions as they exist.
