Win Perhaps Make Coaplete Con- feision To District Attorney- Grand Jury To Meet Tomor¬ row—Moch Interest In Sifned Confession Of Witness Menrin L. Dickerson
Minoolii, Mny 12.—District Attorney Wpfks «'xport.M to HOP Parmnn I'lunt todfiy for th«> purpo.sp of hearlnp wh;ii tip hfiH to nay In r-flatlon to tho trulll.' In Htolrn automobiles In Na.s.s!ni Cmin- ly. It Ih Intimated thnt I'lunt whtii he ohanKfrt his plra from not trui'ty to Kiillty boforf .lustkc Ciopsfy ycst '.{lay hlid wild that hf wuh prPi>arod to kIvo n jfreal deal of Informntion to DlHtrict Attorney WppR.s. It Ik understood that this offer was miidf with promise to help or lenU'ncy from the slate. The fjrand  Jury   will  meet   tomorrow.
Whether or not Aubre.v I'ettlt, who .llso pleaded Bullty yestf-rday, will talk to the iJiatrh't Attorney today i.^ no' k/iown. The pid)lic prosecuor'H attl- tudo Ih thnt any offer made by the two men In the jail. Plant and I'ettlt, will be   llstenetl   to   enrefiiUy.
Plant,and Pettit an* In (ipposite cor¬ ridors In the <'oimty Jail. They arc widely Hepnrated and have no me.ins of eonversinK unlcs.s. they ask to tn^ broiiRht toKetlier. This w<>ul<l proh- nhly only take jdaoe In the presence nf oounspl.
Plant iH Indieted for criminally re- CelvlnK stolen j^oods. I'nder tliat in- dlctmf-nt to which he pleaded Bullt\- the law prescribes that hc sh;ill receix" not more than five years in prison. It Is a felony.
Pettit is rharsed with Ihc same rrimc nnd the .snmo penally mny he imposed In hlH rasp.
Tn addition to Ihi.q Plant is chat-jred with omission of duly of a public of¬ flcer because hc, at tho time of hi.s al- IcKcd crime, was county detective. -On Ihl.i charge thp law prescribes he shall rpcpive not more than one year In the rounty Jail. He Is also indicted for conspiracy, which, imder the crim¬ inal code means conspiracy to commit a crime or td prevent the action of Justice. This i.s a misdemeanor and is punishable by a year In the county Jail.
Whatever statement tho two prison¬ ers or citlier of them make to the Dis trict Attorney will be made for the purpose of saving themselves or lor the pin'po.se of in(?ratlatlnB themselve.'i with tho authorities to the end that they may escape heavy punishment.
Wlien Supreme. Court Justice Crop¬ sey yesterday remanded them to the Jail, It was done for two rea.soiis, evi¬ dently from the remar"k of the court. Most pri.soners are entitled to two days from the time of pleading to the time of Kcntence under the law, but JuHtIco Cropsey in sendins them back to Jail did not dwell on that. Instead, hc called attention to the fact that thpy might "avail them.selves of the opportunity to tell the District Attor¬ ney" of those thiuBs of which they know.
It is expected that they had an In- tere.stinR; story to tell and the intima¬ tion has srono out that It will involve several other people, although no one prepare<l at this time to say just who will be nanved In whatever the two prisoners say.
The whole story now reverts back to that time when Mervin L. Dickerson of Lynbrook confes.sed to Difrtrlct At¬ torney Weeks that he had perjur*d himself at .the tlr.st trial of Plant. Dickerson's confession la sifcned and has been in the hands of the District Attorney since Sunday morning early. There were others who testified along the .same lines as Dickerson and al- tl{»ough Mr. Dickerson confessed per¬ jury, it is assumed that the perjury win cover the testimony of other wit¬ nesses.
It is expected that the District At¬ torney will present all of the Dickerson confession and what It means, to the Grant Jury tomorrow for the purpose of aMkIng for an  indictment.
As a result of Justice Cropsey's sum¬ mons to delinquent Jurors yesterday. Gkorge R. EJnsco of Port Washington who was on^-TJf those who failed^ to appear for jury duty when suna<non«d, carne to aee District Attorney Weeks this morning. Mr. Ensco had said that his jury summons was mislaid somewhere al>out tbe house and be did not get It until a long time after It bad beea left titers. B« was iuutructed by Justioe Cropsey to rttum t« court tomorrow momtnA PrMay. and tt ts tx- PMted that ta« will «»p«ar. thm court having told htm to bting Mrs. Enaco and the maid with him for the purposo ot bearing out his story.

SUBSTITUTES HLL INATSTARBOUT AT MITCHEL HELD
Billy Marlowe Reposes To Go On With Jackie Norman—Commis¬ sion Sets Him Down Indefinitely
Mitchel Field, May 12.—Jack Mc¬ Naily of Hempstead won over Frank Webb of Merrick In the six-round pr»- llmlnary at Mitchel Field last night. McNally made a good showing over a hard flghting opponent.
In the other preliminaries Ed. John ston put Johnny Brook out in the third round, and Al. Tlernan got the de¬ cision in his ten round bom with Johnny Lewis.
In the main bout, which was sup¬ posed to be l>etween Jack Norman and Billy Marlowe, the latter refuvM to go un for some reason or another and "Boots" I^nsen went on with Jack Redmond. Hansen lasted' less than one round, being knocked out In th« first. When the bout opened Hansen carried the flgh,t to Redmond and then through over-confldence or careless¬ ness got the fatal punch. Hansen was unprepared for the bout and not In tho best of condition and wants a return match. It is probable that they^ will meet at a later date.
Announcer A. B. Wallace stated that tbe State Boxing Commission bail Mt Marlowe dormra inde&nttely, becaust.' of blA refusal to ficbt.

Rockville Centre, May 12.—Residents of this village need not pay the men who cill to collpct ashes, frnrbape or rubbish, for removing these from the cellars, nor are the men to take any gratuities to removp more than the accumulation since May 1. when the contract went into effect. If the men insist upon such payment they will be discharged, as-two already have, been for such an act.
This became known when Domonick Malone, the contractor, and his bonds¬ men, appeared before the Board of Trus¬ tees last night, in responsp to nn invi- t.ition, to explain to the board the reas¬ on for .so many complaints about non- collections.
Thp contrivctor .said hp was doing all he could to removp the waste material as fast as he could, and that he has found that after visiting three or four houses, his wagons acquired full loads. This, it was admitted, represented more than nn accumulation since the con¬ tract went into effect—eleven days .ago. Counselor Hooley -said that the con¬ tractor was not expected to remove more than the accumulation since the date of the contract.
Many Complaints Received Complaints have been lodged with the village president, village clerk and Offi¬ cer Curley, from about forty residents. Investigation revealed that two em¬ ployees of Malone were insi.sting upon payment for removing the waste ma¬ terial, and when the matter wns brought to his attention, these men were imme¬ diately discharged. In one instance where money wa.s demanded for per¬ formance of a duty, Offlcer Curley made an immediate investigation, and com¬ pelled the collector's employee to re¬ move the garbage.
The contractor .said that he carted away twelve loads with one team wagon yesterday. He said he had two teams and two single horse wagons working yesterday morning, and one team and an automobile truck in the afternoon. Ho expects to purchase automobile trucks to do the work.
Whole Load From One House While admitted that the contractor is not expected to take more than the accumulation of the past eleven days, one trustee .laid he saw the collector take a whole load from one^ouse, and among the material were tln'cans eaten through by rust. This wa.s construed as proof that the cans were discarded more than eleven days ago.
Residents who have an accumulation of waate material sufQcieat to fill a wagon and expect to have it removei even if they pay for the removal of the additional material, are doing an injus¬ tice to their neighbors, in the opinion of the trustees. The wagon can cart only so many loads a day, and If their progress ia impeded by demands of re.sidents who want more than the con¬ tract calls for others have to suffer, and complaints pile up.
The contractor anticipates that after his men become more familiar with the route.s, he will be able to make greater progress. He is showing a willingness by immediately responding to complaints nuide to him by Offlcer Curley, and on several occasions has gone with Curley to the complainant's house and ordered his men to make the removal.
