HICKSVILLE, Long Island, March 4.
Nassau County folk haven't had such
a luscious topic of conversation as that
afforded by Yesterdays raid on cock

that Il late wayfarer discovered two
tramps asleep with their heads in the
road and reported a double murder and
decaptation. Everybody is enjoying 1t
except the fifty three men whose names
were taken, and who we're summoned
to-day to appear on Friday before JUS
tice Of the Peace Joseph Steinert.
Among them are some OF the best
known cut-ups in the county, men who
wear real amethysts in their sleeve
links and make two-day trip to the
city every season to take in roof
show When the door OF Justice of
the Peace Steinert's Office are closed
against the camoring multitude ON
Friday there will be revealed among
the defendants one chief Of police, one
peace officer half a dozen assorted dep
uty sheriffs, the brother of Demo
cratic leader of prominence and score
or so of politicians.
Sergeant Gelace and his four troop
ers of the state police violated all the
ethical standards of raids that have
been handed down in this county for
generations. Some big fish escaped
their net, but only by luck and strenu-
Gus endeavors, as in the case Of a MIN

The Jewish Correspondence Bureau
here reports that the anti-Semte agi-

forms (which were formerly possible

against the sale Of land to the Jews.
Newspapers are publishing the names
Of those who have been guilty of such
a crime.
The bureau prints an extract from an

Jews, it says. are obliged to live in
houses little better than ruins One
of them collapsed during 4 storm on

The food ticket system, it adds. is
another source Of hardship to the Jews.
In some Galician towns a Jew gets only

Much BROOKLYN Real Estate

Through the sale Of the libraries of
the late Teunis G. Bergen and Van
Brunt Bergen, members of an old
Brooklyn family. the Kings County
Commissioner of Records, Edmund
O'Connor, has come into possession
Of many extremely valuable old rec
ords, some OF them dating back to
the Dutch occupation Of Long Island.
Commits ssioner O'Connor took pos.
session of these records under the
authority given to him by law. They
are expected to play an important part
in clearing up chains of titles, stretch
ing back to the original Dutch settle
ments on Long Island.
Some Of the records. il is believed.
are part of those taken 10 England
during the Revolutionary War by John
Rapalje, then assistant to Leffert Lef

has been repeated search for them,
but no trace of them has ever been
found heretofore The Bergen and
Rapalic families are closely related
and it is thought that the papers came
into the hands of the former through
this connection.

Annulment Suit
Is Lost by Waldo
Can Western Boys Be Trust

Can Western boys be trusted more
than Eastern boys %
Here is a subject for symposium
which undoubtedly would invite many
negative views. In the Supreme Court
yesterday the boys from the West had
the better Of it because only one view
was expressed. 1t was that of Mrs.
Gladys Teed Waldo, and was repeated
by Professor Raymond L. Waldo, who
sued her for an annulmcnt of their
marriage.
Mrs. Waldo told her husband while
he was courting her:
Western boys are different from
Eastern boys. you know. Western boys
can be trusted with girls and chaperons
are not needed, but Eastern boys can
not be trusted
Professor Waldo, of the Scarsdal5
High School and now in the aviation
service of the United States Army. is
from the West, was born in MINES ota IA
and educated in Denver, and the above
view of Mrs. Waldo was in explanation
OF her willingness to go about with
him unaccom .anied by chaperon.
Not so long ago Mrs. Waldo had 6
+ distressing experience with man OF
+ the East. She sued Dr.. Francis D
Griffin. dentist, for $4,000 damages
for alleged breach Of promise, made
before she married Professor Waldo
and lost her sull. On that trial hel
husband was a witness for Dr. Griffin
Notwithstanding the alleged threat o.
MS mother~in-law that he would have
to quit her home unless he testihet
for his wife.
Professor Wade was much perturbet
over the publicity that the suit re
ceived. and later brought the annul

-hat his engagement to Miss iced, nov
his Wife, was broken following tn
bringing of tho action against Dl
Griffin. Later it was renewed, when
according to the husband. his wife as

Waldo sued for annulment on tn
ground that his wife had deceived hin
by misstating the facts with regard t

"To talk peace means to puzzle the

country who have opposed war and
have wished us to submit tamely to
German brutality. When there comes
from Washington an announcement
about peace terms which the pacifsts

as favorable to their views the Hearst
papers gleefully champion it as un-
doing the effect Of previous declara-
tons that we are in this war to the

presses his hearty approval and says
that the Pres sident has now taken his

Foe Would Trick Us
Let us quit talking peace with a
foe who, if we entered into peace ne
gotlations, would. according to his
ability, trick us. as he has already
tricked the Bolshexiki Of Russia. Let

the Germans. renders our allies un-
easy. strengthens the pacifists, the pro
