Try TelezrAnh 70 The Trlbunel

Oyster Bay, July In a spectacu-
lar raid on the Bayville Beach, near
here, this afternoon Justice of the
Peace Robert W. Duvall caused the ar
rest of two persons using their auto
mobiles as bath houses. He then held
court on the sand and attended to the
cases brought before him. In one case
fine was imposed. In the other sem
tence was suspended.
Many complaints had reached the
justice from Bayvillc that the Sunday
visitors to the beach-mostly automo-
bile parties-were using their machines
as bath houses, often with insufficient
curtains. Others thought six square
feet of SAND good enough for a bath
house. Occasionally parties who did
not let the fact that they had forgotten
to bring bathing suits keep them out
of the water. were seen by residents
and passersby.
"The morality of Oyster Bay must
be safeguarded," said the justice this
afternoon as he headed his raiding
party for Bayville. With him were Con-
stable j. Scott Thompson and several
volunteers. On the narrow strip OF land
between Bayville and Centre Island
the home of many of Oyster Bays
wealthest residents Constable Thomp-
son passed an automobile parked on the
road in which a woman was dressing.
Constable Takes Second Peep
The curtains on the car were few and
far between. Thompson stopped his
machine and walked back to see if his
eyes had deceived him.
"Well, what do you see ?" snapped the
woman, who later gave her name as
Mrs. Edna Burdett. of 655 St. Johns
Place, Brooklyn.
81 see enough 10 convince me you
are under arrest he replied. and
turned seward while she finished
dressing. Then he sent word to JUS
tice Duvall. When the justice arrived
Thompson charged Mrs. Burdett with
offending public decency. The justice
held court by the side of the road,
while the prisoner arranged her hair.
When asked to plead, she shrugged her
shoulders and said:
81 don't see anything else to do but
TO plead guilty. It's an awful bore to
After telling her TO go to the bath
ing pavilion at Bayville next time. the
justice suspended sentence.
A little further along Thompson's
eagle eye saw a scantily clad leg pro-
trudlng from an automobile. It's owner
was struggling to get into his trousers.
At a modest distance from the car
stood three young women gazing sea
ward intently. The trousers belonged

Brooklyn. He almost fell out of his
machine when told he was under ar
rest.
The justice would not sit on this case
until Wagner had put on his trousers.
Wagner pleaded not guilty. "Then I'll
have to hold you in $500 bail for the
grand jury" the justice told him. "Can
you get it. or would you rather be
locked up?"
Car Wasn't Good for Bail
isn't my car good for the bail?" in
CURED Wagner. The court looked at
Wagner's car.
"You might as we'll plead guilty"

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH TO CONGRESS

Gentlemen of the Congress: The
imperial German government on the
31st of January announced to this
government and the government of
the other neutral nations that on and
after the first day of February it
would adopt a policy with regard to
the use of submarines against all
shipping seeking to pass through
certain designated areas of the high
seas to which it is clearly my duty to
sall your attention.
The president then called atten-
ton to different ships sunk by Ger

of submarines without regard to the

international law and the universal
dictates of humanity had at last
forced him to the belief that there

is but one course for the government
Of the United States to pursue.
He then quoted from a note pre-
viOUsly sent Germany by the U. S. in
which this country declared: UNLESS
the German government should i'm
mediately declare and effect an
abandonment of its present methods
of submarine warfare the govern
ment of the United States can have
no choice but to sever diplomatic re-
latiOns with the German government
altogether.
He then reviewed other notes on
submarine warfare exchanged be-
tween the U. S. and Germany.
The president expressed the hope
that all other neutral nations would
follow the example set by the United
States.
Il think you will agree with me
that in view Of this declaration which
suddenly and without any prior in
clinatiOn at any time deliberately
withdraws the solemn assurances

The spirit OF basketball new reisns
supreme at P, H. g. The varsity
five. under the supervision Of Mr.. n.
r. Enlow, has been doing some hard
work In the line Of practicing. The
reaction from this showed up clearly
In the game between the eviators and
high school last Thursday night. The
hi five were outweighed but tho
aviators were outplayed Is the way
we might express It.
Mr.. John Shepard, rs. was elected
captain of the varsity and no more
capable boy could have been selected
to iii this most important position.
The !nterclsse teams have been
playing regularly and class spirit Is
held far above everything. The
games, though interesting and well
played. have been poorly attended by
the student body.

Class Mortality
At the opening Of the school year.
there was thirty-seven students en-
rolled In the Senior class. During
the last few years. school life became
SO burdensome and monotonous to
many members OF our class, that
many accepted the comparatively easy
life Of the world and left school. In
our Sophomore year we had seventy
members. This year thirty-seven. So,
we see that there are many improve
ments needed in our schools to make
school life more durable, to make the
school-room more attractive. At the
present time. there Is q great tempta-
ton proffered to the boys in the
high schools. He receives letters from

too wants to leave school. But
does he think for the moment what
this step means to him? He doesn't
at the moment but he does later on
