A DDITIONAL PANEL OF JURORS FOR SUPREME COURT FARMERS INTERESTED IN BEETSliGAR PROJEEI More Than 150 At tended the Meeting in Riverhead Tues- day Night , Which Was Ad- dressed by Promoter and Hal B, Fullerton. A large percentage of the Polish farmers in this sectio n appear to. bs very enthusiasti c over the plans of the Great Eastern Sugar Corpora- tion , which was recentl y incorporated at Albany to promote the raising of sugar beets on Long Island. A meet- ing of farmers held in the Polish hall in Riverhead on Tuesday evening was addressed by Kurt Grunwald, one of the incorporator.? of the corporation , and Hal B. Fullerton , director of the Long Island Railroad Go' s, demon- stration farm at Medford , where su- gar beets have been raised very suc- cessfully for the past twelve years on land that a few years bef ore was pine barrens. Nearly 150 Polish farmers attend- ed the meeting here. Many of them had raised sugar beets in Poland and have been raising them since they came to this country. Mr. Grunwald stated that the sugar beets were not only a very .profitable crop, but by planting them for several years and then rotating with potatoes or other vegetables that the farmers would got a much large r yield of spuds and vegetables. The Great Eastern Sugar Corpo- ration has obtained options on abou t •10 ,000 acre.?, of land on Long Island , which is to be subdivided into farms cf 10, 20 and, -10 acres each and -which are to be sol d for suga r beet farms and for the raising of dairy cattle. The . purchasers of the farms will be given 32% years in which to pay for the farms. The sugar beet pulp, a by-product of the beet sugar factory- is excellen t food for cattle, horses, pi gs and duck.?. By beine able to obtain this pulp at a greatl y reduced pries at a factory nearby, there will be more dairy cattle raised on Long Island , it is believed. . Mr. Grunwald stated that the growers " of sugar beete woul d be paid a stipulated price for their beets when they were delivered at the fac- tory and that all the , sugar over 15 i (Continued on page 6) PULVER AGAIN HEADS COUNTY COMMITTEE Unanimously Re-Elected As Chairman in Large and Enthusiastic Meeting of Party Organization Held On Tuesday. The Republican County Committee held its annual meeting Tuesday afternoon in Riverhead. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting and the meeting was marked " by the harmony that prevailed throughout the session. " ' ' Senator George L. Thompson made the keynote speech.

He pledged himself if re-elected to represent all the people of his district and to stand always for what was for the best interests ol Suffolk County.

Lewis , of Brooklyn, who is presiding, will pro- babl y be busy here for the remainder of"the month. Thi? is the first time Justice Lewis has presided at a regu- lar term of the Supreme Court in Suffolk. He is making many friends among -the lawyers and others whom he is meeting and he is doing every- thing possible to expedite the trial of the cases. The fact that so many cases have been marked reader is the best proof that the lawyers and liti- gant? are anxious to have their cases tried before Justice Lewis. Robert 6'Donohue, of Central Islip , was appointed by justice " Lewis as foreman of the Grand Jury which has about 60 cases to consider. It is ex- pected that . the Grand Jury will finish its work next Tuesday. . John C. White and his wife . Ida J. White, of Babylon, "brought suit against Constable Thomas Gallagher , of Baby lon , for substantial damages for ah alleged assault upon Mrs. White. The jury rendered a verdict in fayor of the defendant. Gallagher was given a dispossess notice to serve on White! ousting him from the pos- session of a garage he had rented. Mrs. White declared Gallagher as- saulted her and that she wa.3 inca- pacitated for some time. Gallagher , on the other hand , testified that Mrs. White had kicked him and ho denied that he had struck her or injured her in any way. White brough t suit for an alleged loss of his wife' s services. Tuesday a verdict for the defend- ants, who were represented by former County Judge John R. Vunk , was rendered by a. jury in the Supreme Court in the action brought by Mrs. Jenny V. Macy, of Stony Brook , as administratrix , against Robert M. Smith and Robert F. Well s. Inc., of Stony Brook , to recover $20 , 000 dam- ages for the death of Mrs. Macy ' s daughter , Miss Jenny Macy, aged about 35 years. The latter was struck on August 30, 1921 , by a car driven by Smith and owned by the Wells corporation, as she was crossing the street at Stony Brook. It was the contention of the plaintiff that Smith was driv- ing the car at an excessive rate oi speed. He declared that Miss Macy started, to cross the street and -that she apparently changed her mind.and turned to go back and walked ri ght in front of the machine. Smith said he was unable to prevent the accident. Lester Hand Jayne, counsel for ' Mns. Macy, moved to have the verdict set aside, but Justice Lewis denied the m otion. The case was first tried in . the Su- preme Court here in the ¦ spring of 1922 before Justice Edward "Lazah- sky. and the jury awarded Mrs. Macy $500 damages- Lawyer Jayne imme- diately moved to have the verdict set aiside on the ground that it was in- adequate, but the motion, was "denied. Then Lawyer Jayne took an appeal and Justice Lazansky was reversed by the Appellate Division and a new trial was ordered. Arthur C. D. Macy, -a brother 0 f the decedent , who witnessed the ac- cident, and was an important witness for the plaintiff at the first trial , died about six months ago. An undefended action for divorce, brought by Mrs. Esther Blackmar , against her husband , A. Blackmar, Lynbrook parties , was tried before Justice Lewis on Monday, and find- ings are to be submitted. The plain- tiff is a traveling salesman. Consta- ble Harry Betts, of Huntington , and another man from that village , ob- tained the evidence at the Hotel Al- cazar , Manhattan , on July 5 ,: 1923. . The co-respondent is unknown to the detectives and the plantift The cou- ple have two children. Mrs. Bessie A. Haviland ,. of Port Jefferson , was awarded $1 , 500 in her action against Harold J. Decker, for- merly of Port Jefferson , who now con- ducts a hotel at Ronkonkma , for $15 , 000 damages for personal injuries ( Continued on page 6) REV. TAYLOR RESIGNS VILLAGE POSTMASTER Remsenburg Threatened With Loss of Post Office Because Postmaster Will Not Stick. Again Remsenburg 'is without a postmaster. Some time ago the County Review printed a story that unless the people of that village pro- duced a ' . -l candidate for postmaster there was grave danger of the office being abolished. ' That story aroused much comment and opened up the old Speonk - Remsenlburg controversy which eome years ago divided the vil- lage and caused two postoffices to be established. The 'Remsenburgers got busy at once and as a result the Rev. Homer W. Taylor was appointed post- master on September 6. Now Mr. Taylor , who is pastor of the Remsen- burg church , sent in h . k> resignation. The office nays so little that no one wants it. _ The matter has been hang- ing fire for months now and itiis not improbable that the postoffice depart- ment will act unless the people of Rem senburg get busy and find some public-spirited citizen who is willing to take the office and preserve the name of Remsenburg. The Republicans of Shelter Island have failed to find a candidate for Su- pervisor to run against Supervisor Charles Henry Smith. The last dav for filling vacancies is October 9, but there is little likelihood of any oppo- sition this year to Mr. Smith- William B. Trainer , the popular Town Clerk of Huntington town, has been turned down by his own party— the Democrats. The Republicans be- came tired of trying to defeat Trainer and so this year ' they put him on their own ticket. Two years ago to satisfy some of the dyed-in-the-wool party men. the Republicans nominated a good man.-for- .Town Clerk and. made the fight againft Clerk Trainer. The result was that Mr. Trainer waa re- elected by over 1, 700 plurality in that Republican town. This year the party leaders got together and in the Re- publican Town convention last Satur- day Mr. Trainer was unanimously nominated by that party. Some of the Democrtic leaders were sore and it is said Trainer was asked to decline the G. O. P. nomination. This he refused to do. - He did not seek the " nomina- tion and flatl y refused to decline. Then the Democrats met and Trainei- was defeated in his own party and another named for the job. The Re- publicans are pl ea sed at the situation that has developed and friends of the popular Town Clerk do not seem to be worried over the situation and predict that their favorite candidate will win by the largest plurality he ever had. There is still talk of putting in a third candidate in this Assembly dis- trict. Dr. E. Ajrate Foster having positively refused to run and declared himself for the re-election of Assem- blyman Peck , the same influences that were responsible for Dr. Foster ' s can- didacy are grooming A rthur H. My- ers, of Lake Ronkonkoma , for the in- dependent nomination. Myers is a New York man who keeps a restaur- ant at Ronkonkoma. At the meeting of the Republican County Committee, on Tuescia . - , "n motion ; of Supervisor Halseyj resolu- tions 1 were unanimouslv adopted thanking Mrs. Charles H. Sabi n , Sen- ator Wadsworth, Col . Roosevelt. Speaker Machold , Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore and Mjss Sarah Butler for the splendid meeting held by the Count y Committee at the home of Mrs. Sabin last week. Republican women were given equal representation with men on the Re- publican State Executive Committee Saturday when seven additional wom- en members were appointed to the committee. The meeting of Republican men and women leaders took place at the Na- tional Republican Club , New York City. , In addition to Mrs. Arthur L. Liver- more, Mrs. Douglas Robinson , Mrs. Charles H. Sabin and Miss Florence Wardwell , who are already members of the committe , the following were elected : Miss Helen . Varick Boswell , New York ; Mrs. Faith Moore An- drews , Brooklyn: Mrs. Frederick Pruyn . Albany ; Miss Mary Chahoon , Ausable Forks; Mrs. Florence E. S. Knaop , Camillus; Mrs . Joseph Rieger , Dunkirk. Former Postmaster Frederick M. Welsh, of Patchogu e, underwent an operation for intestinal trouble at Dr. TJnger ' sj-nrivate hospital in that vil- lage, on Thursday of last week. The operation was performed by a New York specialist. A well known Riverhead man and his good wife, who attend church every Sunday, arrived at their place of worship two hours before the service began last Sun- day. They were very much sur- prised to find no one at the church and at first they thought they had made a mistake in the day of the week. The head of the house then realized tha t before he retired on Saturday night he turned the hour hand of his "daylight saving clock" ahead an hour , instead of turning it back an hour. The couple returned , to their home, where they remained until it " was time to go to church." CHANGE OF TIME FOOLS RIVERHEAD COUPLE SUNDAY DR PETTY IS NOMINATED FOR SUPERVISOR BY G. 0. P.

Although there were four spirited contests for nominations for town of- fices at the Riverhead Town Repub- lican primary at the Auditorium, Saturday afternoon , the best of feel- ing prevailed and it proved to be a harmonious gathering. More than ¦ 500 persons attended , a large percent- age of whom were women . The women took a very active interest in the ^proceedings. : Dr. Raiman Petty, one of River- head' s best known young men , was nominated for Supervisor, receiving 269 votes to 137 cast for Justice of the Peace Robert Burnside, who con- sented a few days before the primary to have his name presented. After the result of the ballot had been an- nounced , Judge Burnside moved to make the nomination of Dr. Petty unanimous. Dr. Petty, who is the youngest son of the late Nathan D. Petty, who served ^wo terms as Sur- rogate of Suffolk County, made a ver^ plea sing speech in accepting the nomination. He expressed his hearty thanks for the honor that had been conferred upon him and promised to exert every effort to be elected. Dr. Petty made some very compli- mentary ; i-emarks in referring to Judge 'Burnside, and, said he consid- ered it an honor to have had the Judge as an opponent , The nominee has long been prominent in local fra- ternal organizations and the "River- head Fire department. He is a brother of Nathan O. Petty, one of the best known and ablest members of the Suffolk County Bar. Former Tax Collector Albert W- Conklin , whose candidacy for the nomination for Supervisor was an- nounced last week, withdrew from the race on Friday. Milton L. Burns, an overseas vet- eran of the World War , whose can- didacy was announced a few hours before the primary, won the nomina- tion for Town Clerk over Mrs. Belle Lupton Pike, by a vote of 233 to 144. Mrs. Pike consented on Friday to al- low her name ^ to he presented , there being no candidate at that time for the nomination. After it was an- nounced that Mr. Burns was the vic- tor , Mrs. Pike moved to make his nomination unanimous and pleged her fullest . suwport to him at the election and requested all others to do like- wise. Mr. Burns is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Burns. He returned to Riverhead . last spring after spending more than , a - year at a Saranac Lake health resort,.Mrs. Effie L. Hallett placed Mrs. Pike in nomination. Asa D. Fordham, who has been an Assessor for a number of years , was renominated for the two-year term by the scant majority of one vote, his opponent being Charles H. Skidmore, who served as an assessor several years ago. Fordham received 157 votes and Skidmore 156. The tellers had to count the ballots four times before it was finally determined that Fordham was the winner. Charles O. Morse, of South James- port , was unanimously renominated for assessor for the four-year term. ¦ Former County Auditor Dwight T.

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANTSIN ICY MAGE HON

Mother of Young Woman Killed at StcnyBrook Sued For $20,000.-Most of th3Cases on Big Calendar Are AnnouncedReady at Opening of Supreme Court. . ]

Only a comparativel y few of the212 cases on the calendar for the Oc-tober term of the Supreme Court wentover the term or were announced assettled when the calendar was calledat the opening of court Monday after-noon, arid Justice Harry -E. Lewis, ofBrooklyn, who is presiding, will pro-bably be busy here for the remainderof"the month. Thi? is the first timeJustice Lewis has presided at a regu-lar term of the Supreme Court inSuffolk. He is making many friendsamong -the lawyers and others whomhe is meeting and he is doing every-thing possible to expedite the trial ofthe cases. The fact that so manycases have been marked reader is thebest proof that the lawyers and liti-gant? are anxious to have their casestried before Justice Lewis.

Robert 6'Donohue, of Central Islip,was appointed by justice" Lewis asforeman of the Grand Jury which hasabout 60 cases to consider. It is ex-pected that.the Grand Jury will finishits work next Tuesday.. John C. White and his wife. Ida J.

White, of Babylon, "brought suitagainst Constable Thomas Gallagher ,of Babylon , for substantial damagesfor ah alleged assault upon Mrs.White. The jury rendered a verdictin fayor of the defendant. Gallagherwas given a dispossess notice to serveon White! ousting him from the pos-session of a garage he had rented.Mrs. White declared Gallagher as-saulted her and that she wa.3 inca-pacitated for some time. Gallagher,on the other hand , testified that Mrs.White had kicked him and ho deniedthat he had struck her or injured herin any way. White brough t suit foran alleged loss of his wife's services.

Tuesday a verdict for the defend-ants, who were represented by formerCounty Judge John R. Vunk , wasrendered by a. jury in the SupremeCourt in the action brought by Mrs.Jenny V. Macy, of Stony Brook , asadministratrix, against Robert M.Smith and Robert F. Wells. Inc., ofStony Brook, to recover $20,000 dam-ages for the death of Mrs. Macy 'sdaughter, Miss Jenny Macy, agedabout 35 years.

The latter was struck on August30, 1921, by a car driven by Smithand owned by the Wells corporation,as she was crossing the street atStony Brook. It was the contentionof the plaintiff that Smith was driv-ing the car at an excessive rate oispeed. He declared that Miss Macystarted, to cross the street and -thatshe apparently changed her mind.andturned to go back and walked right infront of the machine. Smith said hewas unable to prevent the accident.Lester Hand Jayne, counsel for ' Mns.Macy, moved to have the verdict setaside, but Justice Lewis denied themotion.

The case was first tried in .the Su-preme Court here in the ¦ spring of1922 before Justice Edward "Lazah-sky. and the jury awarded Mrs. Macy$500 damages- Lawyer Jayne imme-diately moved to have the verdict setaiside on the ground that it was in-adequate, but the motion, was"denied.Then Lawyer Jayne took an appealand Justice Lazansky was reversed bythe Appellate Division and a new trialwas ordered.

Arthur C. D. Macy, -a brother 0fthe decedent , who witnessed the ac-cident, and was an important witnessfor the plaintiff at the first trial, diedabout six months ago.

An undefended action for divorce,brought by Mrs. Esther Blackmar,against her husband, A. Blackmar,Lynbrook parties, was tried beforeJustice Lewis on Monday, and find-ings are to be submitted. The plain-tiff is a traveling salesman. Consta-ble Harry Betts, of Huntington, andanother man from that village, ob-tained the evidence at the Hotel Al-cazar, Manhattan , on July 5,: 1923..The co-respondent is unknown to thedetectives and the plantift The cou-ple have two children.

Mrs. Bessie A. Haviland,. of PortJefferson , was awarded $1,500 in heraction against Harold J. Decker, for-merly of Port Jefferson , who now con-ducts a hotel at Ronkonkma, for$15,000 damages for personal injuries

REV. TAYLOR RESIGNSVILLAGE POSTMASTER

Remsenburg Threatened WithLoss of Post Office BecausePostmaster Will Not Stick.

Again Remsenburg 'is without apostmaster. Some time ago theCounty Review printed a story thatunless the people of that village pro-duced a'.-l candidate for postmasterthere was grave danger of the officebeing abolished. ' That story arousedmuch comment and opened up the oldSpeonk - Remsenlburg controversywhich eome years ago divided the vil-lage and caused two postoffices to beestablished. The 'Remsenburgers gotbusy at once and as a result the Rev.Homer W. Taylor was appointed post-master on September 6. Now Mr.Taylor, who is pastor of the Remsen-burg church, sent in h.k> resignation.The office nays so little that no onewants it. _ The matter has been hang-ing fire for months now and itiis notimprobable that the postoffice depart-ment will act unless the people ofRemsenburg get busy and find somepublic-spirited citizen who is willingto take the office and preserve thename of Remsenburg.

The Republicans of Shelter Islandhave failed to find a candidate for Su-pervisor to run against SupervisorCharles Henry Smith. The last davfor filling vacancies is October 9, butthere is little likelihood of any oppo-sition this year to Mr. Smith-

William B. Trainer , the popularTown Clerk of Huntington town, hasbeen turned down by his own party—the Democrats. The Republicans be-came tired of trying to defeat Trainerand so this year 'they put him on theirown ticket. Two years ago to satisfysome of the dyed-in-the-wool partymen. the Republicans nominated agood man.-for-.Town Clerk and. madethe fight againft Clerk Trainer. Theresult was that Mr. Trainer waa re-elected by over 1,700 plurality in thatRepublican town. This year the partyleaders got together and in the Re-publican Town convention last Satur-day Mr. Trainer was unanimouslynominated by that party. Some of theDemocrtic leaders were sore and it issaid Trainer was asked to decline theG. O. P. nomination. This he refusedto do. - He did not seek the" nomina-tion and flatl y refused to decline.Then the Democrats met and Trainei-was defeated in his own party andanother named for the job. The Re-publicans are pleased at the situationthat has developed and friends of thepopular Town Clerk do not seem to beworried over the situation and predictthat their favorite candidate will winby the largest plurality he ever had.

There is still talk of putting in athird candidate in this Assembly dis-trict. Dr. E. Ajrate Foster havingpositively refused to run and declaredhimself for the re-election of Assem-blyman Peck, the same influences thatwere responsible for Dr. Foster's can-didacy are grooming Arthur H. My-ers, of Lake Ronkonkoma, for the in-dependent nomination. Myers is aNew York man who keeps a restaur-ant at Ronkonkoma.

At the meeting of the RepublicanCounty Committee, on Tuescia .- , "nmotion ; of Supervisor Halseyj resolu-tions 1 were unanimouslv adoptedthanking Mrs. Charles H. Sabi n , Sen-ator Wadsworth, Col. Roosevelt.Speaker Machold , Mrs. Arthur L.Livermore and Mjss Sarah Butler forthe splendid meeting held by theCounty Committee at the home ofMrs. Sabin last week.

Republican women were given equalrepresentation with men on the Re-publican State Executive CommitteeSaturday when seven additional wom-en members were appointed to thecommittee.

The meeting of Republican men andwomen leaders took place at the Na-tional Republican Club, New YorkCity., In addition to Mrs. Arthur L. Liver-more, Mrs. Douglas Robinson , Mrs.Charles H. Sabin and Miss FlorenceWardwell , who are already membersof the committe, the following wereelected : Miss Helen . Varick Boswell,New York ; Mrs. Faith Moore An-drews, Brooklyn: Mrs. FrederickPruyn .

Former Postmaster Frederick M.Welsh, of Patchogu e, underwent anoperation for intestinal trouble at Dr.TJnger 'sj -nrivate hospital in that vil-lage, on Thursday of last week. Theoperation was performed by a NewYork specialist.

A well known Riverhead manand his good wife, who attendchurch every Sunday, arrived attheir place of worship two hoursbefore the service began last Sun-day. They were very much sur-prised to find no one at the churchand at first they thought they hadmade a mistake in the day of theweek. The head of the house thenrealized tha t before he retired onSaturday night he turned the hourhand of his "daylight savingclock" ahead an hour, instead ofturning it back an hour. Thecouple returned , to their home,where they remained until it "wastime to go to church."
