The meeting in the first ward was
held in the police court room OF the
city hall and attended by large
gathering of the citizens Of that

entire unanimity from the very be-
ginning. Mr.. Guy II. Sigler was
chosen chairman and Il. l.. Deem
secretary
W. S Smith stated the object of
the meeting and was Immediately
challenged by Smith c. Matson as
to who had instigated the meeting
and by what authority. Little in
formation on this score was obtained
and motion to adjourn Immediately
put before the meeting. This was i'm.
mcdiatcly negatived and after some
discussion II was resolved that the
meeting pass into a committee OF

JUDGE FINDS LOST BOY
SOUGHT 4 "DOTTER MN"
Three -Year-Od Child Rescued from
floods Back of Jamaica.

After suffering for hours from exposure, Erwin
Biggs aged three years, rescued several nights
ago in the woods back of Jamaica by Burt J.
Humphrey. county judge of Queens The little
fellow, to whom Judge Humphrey was led by
faithful bulldog was nearer dead than alive from
cold and fear when found. He was taken to Judge
Humphreys home and cared for until his identity
was esta bIished when he was taken TO his home
The boys father was Joel T. Btggs, machin-
ist on the battleship Connecticut, who died from
pneumonia on Saturday. returned from the
'round-the-world trip with his vessel without a
mishap but shortly after arriving on his native
shore suffered injury to his head, that made II
necessary for him to return home on furlough.
Pneumonia developed, and the little son. noticing
his mothers concern. announced that ne "oulo
''det de dotter man
The wife and mother harassed by her anxieties
gave thought to what the boy had said, ana
Erwin trudged from the house in Flushing avenue.
Jamaica, through the woods behind the Training
School for Teachers looking for a physician He
accompanied by his two dogs, a bulldog ana
a Newfoundland pup. No "dotter man" was to
be found In the woods, but the boy continued his
search until dark. Then, when he tried TO find his
way home, he changed from his big fathers first
assistant helper a very small boy who was lost
and wanted his mother.
When Erwin became entangled In the briars in
the deep woods mile from his home, the bulldog
seemed to realize that something serious had hap
pened. He became fully convinced of this when
his little master forgetting all the traditions of
the United States navy began TO cry The dog
ranged through the woods. and finally, on its bor-
der. found Judge Humphrey and his niece, Miss
Mabel Thuard enjoying a walk With mani
festatons of delight the dog approached them and
did his best to tell them of the dilemma of his little
Feeling that his unusual actions might
have significance, they followed him short dis
tance. and then heard Childs cry come from far
back in the woods.
Why no one lives In there! What Is child
doing there this time of night?" asked Judge
Humphrey of his niece. in astonishment.
The dog bounded with delight when they followed
him with what rapidity the underbrush and briars
permitted. When they reached the boy he vas so
weak from chill and fright that he could scarcely
whimper Judge Humphrey quickly picked him up
in his and carried him 10 his home. Finally,
when, after being bathed warmed and fed. the boy
asked his he said it Win Pigs"
Considerable study required to evolve Erwin
BigSs from that. Judge Humphrey carried him
home II is almost certain that Erwin would have
pershed in the woods but for Judge Humphreys
walk and the dogs fatthfulness.
