uties OF the town Of Oyster Bay and men in

Resort to force has been made in the past to
acquire and maintain possession Of the three
mile strip OF beach known East Beach. on
East Island. near Glen Cove. Long Island
Leonard Jacob purchased East Island from
the Cox estate and claims ownership on the
Cox deed. oyster Bay town contends that the
deed so far as the beach is concerned. is worth
less. as 1t owns the beach an old grant. The
affair Is extremely complicated. Neither party
wishes 10 initiate Il lawsuit but both stand
ready 10 defend one
week ago Leonard Jacob sent a force of
men and took possession of the beach which
had been in possession OF the town officials
since last spring. on advice of his counsel
he requested from Sheriff Jerome r. Johnson.
OF Nassau County. at Mlneola the assignment
of deputies to preserve the peace. Sheriff John

beach.

It is expected that the Jacob men will to-day
invade the beach with force of men taken from
City Island on n tug. Both sides have given
abundant evidence Of their intention TO make a
stiff fight for possession Of the beach
The beach is valuable not only because IL is
estimated TO be worth 100000. but because IL is
the only piece of public beach in the town IL
is next to West Island. part of the estate OF
Charles A Dana, and is not many miles distant
from President Roosevelt's home. Several
wealthy men. including Leonard Jacob a. d.

HILL SAYS TO INSTRUCT.
He Wants State Delegation Pledged
for Parker.

Albany April 3.-From a source so close 20
ex-senator Hill that II may be considered as
representing Mr.. Hills views. it is learned
that it is intended that the New-York state
delegation to the Democratic National ConVen-
ton at st. Louis shall be positively instructed
in favor of Chief Judge Alton B. Parker as
New-YOrk States choice for the Presidential
nomination. Senator Hill and his friends now
believe that they will control at least three
fourths of the State convention. which will be
held in Harmanus Blocker Hall on Monday
April is.
1t has been in recent years an almost IN
broken custom for the New-York State Demo-
cratic delegation to go to the national conven-
ton with positive instructions. Only IN 1851
were there no instructions. In that year
Grover Cleveland and Roswell P. Flower. both
New-York State men, were candidates. Inc
New-York delegates voted for Cleveland In
1883 they were instructed for Cleveland; IN
1892 for Hill. In 1896 New-York State had no
candidate. In 1900 New-York had no candi-
date but at the suggestion of Tammany Hall
the delegates instructed for Bryan. IL
the delegation were not instructed this year IL
would be the first time in more than twenty
years that an uninstructed delegation was sent
when New-York State had candidate TO oI1er.

Weston. Mass. April 3.-Although three days
have elapsed since Miss Mabel Page muir

rewards aggregating $500 have been offered
for the detection OF her slayer. the mystery to-
night appeared more battling than ever. Cen

who IS in charge of the investigation. said this
evening that the day had been unmarked by
any developments which would point TO pos
slble solution Of the case. one OF the most mys-
terious that has confronted the police in Massa-
chusetts.
Since Il was determined that Miss Page
murdered. and not the victim Of a suicidal i'm
pulse, neither motive clew has been estab-
lished. Several theories have been advanced. but
all that were in any way promising have been
disproved. The police still believe that the
crime committed by some acquainted
with the habits of the Page Family. hut--all the
members OF the household have accounted sat
