Decoration Dny will be fittinBly oh- sprvotl In all the. vJll.iffPH of tho Town of Hcmp.stoatl on .Monday. .VlPtnoiial aei'-vire plnnH havo boon propnrpil ami WJII 1>" carried out in .1 mannor reflec- tivo of tho rcmfimbiance of the many lives lo.st in the late war. Tho tliought.s are still fresh in minti, and the obHorv- ance of the day are made more impre.s- sive by the arrival of Holdior dead on the Kfeat triin«port.s, from Kranre.
A few djiy.-i ago, Warren (',. Haidinp, preHident of the United State.s. person¬ ally paid a tribute to the flr.it soldier who died on Cierman .soil by placing a j wreath on hi.s caKket on a pier in Ho- boken. There were ,'i2ll other ca.sketH on the pier. The remains were of men who repre.sonted about every division j In the war. The pre.sident's act wa.s a [ tribute to oil.
With such reminders almost daily coming before the public. If"' lo.sse.s are still keenly felt. The y»<ini jirogi-nm of pleasure laid out for Decoration Day is not expected to be so pronounced this year. Visits to the cemetery and participation in memorial exerci.se.s will take the place of the accustomed gath¬ erings in picnic parks and sightseeinK trips away from home.
Persons in charfje of the arrange- menta haVo eome to realize that the spectators and partlcipant.s.4io not want to be bored with long addresses. An¬ nouncements state there will be brief ceremoniea. The thoughts of the day and the Impres^iveness of the service will do more to carry the message of Iiatrlotiam than words of man.
The poppy has been adopted as the official flower by the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. It is to be sold thi-oughout the streets of the village by the Y.W.C.A. girls and Boy Scouts and through the assi.stance of the Red Cross. If these are worn, as requested, the little red flower will si¬ lently remind all Of the seriousness of the occasion.
Funds derived from the sale of these popples will be devoted to the support of children in France, made orphans by the World War. Observing one of these poppies in tho buttonhole of a man, or pinned to the attire of a woman, will come thoughts of duty to the dead, who lie beneath the silent .sod In Flanders Fields, wherg the poppy grows abund¬ antly.
Tho line of march in most villages will be through streets where the parad- ers will be conspicuous. Residents are requested to help commemorate the day by displaying the American flag from their homes.
In several villages, the church are co-operating In the commemoration of the day. Special services will be held in the church.on Sunday. Sermons will be particularly adapted to Decoration Day.

Police here have noticed for some time that Italians have been making frequent vLslts to the millinery store, which is conducted by the wife of .Man- i.scalco on Front street. They suspect¬ ed the place contained liquor. A search warrant was obtained yesterday from County Judge Lewis J. Smith, on an affi¬ davit made by PoIIca Officer James H. Rlcker.
Chief of Police P. A. Seaman, accom¬ panied by Policemen Rlcker, Snediker, Feely, Kind and Howard, made a searclv of the place. In the store they found several bottles and Jugs of liquor. Fur¬ ther search of Liberty Halt revealed a large quantity on the top floor.
While Policeman Ricker took Manls¬ caico, who was found on the premises, to Lawrence for arraignment, the re¬ mainder of the force busied themselves sealing and loading the goods onto a truck and taking it to the Court Houae in Mineola. It was turned over to the aherlff's office and a receipt taken for it.
The apeciflc charge against Manlscai¬ co is poeaeaaing liquor containing one- half of one per cent, or more of alcohol without a federal permit. He furnished caah bail.

Thla ia the first whiskey raid that has been pulled off by the local police alnce the order went out that tbe poUce muat enforce the prohlWtton law. While Chief Seaman haa had thla place under auaplclon for aome time, it waa not until yeaterday that he obtained evideno* that would warrant tha iaauance of a aef<)rcli warrant.

from England, all former soldiers, were in court today to testify against Cap¬ tain Emil .Mueller, the second German officer to be arraigned in the famous war criminal trials.
Captain Mueller was in charge of a German prison camp during tho war. He is accused of beating Brlti.sh prison¬ ers with a riding whip and tying siuk men to a stake for three days at a time. Most of ihe offenses were alleged to have been conunltted in 1918.
The conviction of Mueller seemed cer¬ tain. As he was arraigned the presi¬ dent of the Supreme Court glanced over the papers in the case.
"Before us there is now being un¬ rolled a terrible picture of war and I am deeply moved by it," said the Judge. Then turning to Mueller he exclaimed:
"How could you, in former examina¬ tion, defend yourself against these ex tracrdlnary serious charges? It is in¬ comprehensible to me."
"These are atrocities," exclaimed the president ot tho court as he read some of the charges lodged against Mueller by men who were former prisoners in his custody.

BUNGER STRIKE LASTS II DAYS; AIBSAPPmil
Sheriff Sprith's Prisoner Who Want¬ ed to Die Now Lives To Eat fmd Efits to lire—No Fdrce Feeding Required in Marshal's Case Now—Tempting Food Did It— Eel Stew the uiarm
Mineola. May 27.—After fasting six days in an effort to starve himself lo death. Charleij Maraha,], a prisoner in the county Jail here today broke his res¬ olution not to eat. SherKT Charles W. Smith now sees in his pri-^oner's appe tite nothing but a liability. It looked for a time as if the 71 cents a day al¬ lowed for feeding Marshal waa useless, but yesterday when the prisoner de¬ cided to take a llttlA nourishment he blasted the hopes of everyone connectel with the Jail.
Being something of a feeder himself Sheriff Smith do^s not stint th© prison ers. as their condition gives evidence, but the Sherlir s&ys he never saw any¬ one suffer from anorexia to the same extent as Marshal.
"Three squares a day and nothing leas," saya the Sheriff when asked if hia priaoner waa eating. The chief peace officer of the county expreaaed the hope, but with" a worried look aa If hope were uselesa. that Marshal wouldn't founder himaeK before filling that void that has been developing six days.
Marshal, convraltted for burglary. Is a aecond offender. Having taated of life in Sing Sing he haa no desire to go back. He hrat tried to Jump from a second story window in the court houae. Fail¬ ing in that he refused to eat. The tempt¬ ing dlahea set before him broke down hia will. Now "he Just eata." aays the Sheriff and no one haa to tempt his ap¬ petite.
"I think he'll live." adda the Sheriff.
Date and Plac^ Yet To Be Giren
Out—His nrst Concert On
Long Island
Rockville Centre, May 27.—Prepara¬ tions are under way to bring Into this village a musical treat that Long Isl¬ and has not enjoyed before. Sousa'.s band of 65 pieces is to come here and give an evening's concert. Just where has not been decided but come it will. A tentative date has already been set.
According to the present plans a great tent is to be erected on some available site. The "dry reservoir" was mention, ed, but there are certain obstacles to bo overcome before it could be made a.s suitable as it might be considered to be at first thought.
There are plenty of open fields within RockviUe Centre where the unusual event can lie produced but the promot¬ ers have not yet determined on the lo¬ cation. No definite announcement can be made.
Sousa, who is a resident of Oyster Bay. has conducted concerts in every part of the world, except on Long Isl¬ and. He Is anxious to give hU. Nassau j ney and former Assemblyman. Both
counsel made formal objection before the interrogation of witnesses again on the ground that proper notice had not been given and because the" charges were too general in their character.
Justice Cropsey brushed aside all oli- jectlons, saying it was not necessary to give notice and that they would iiro- ceed to take testimony immediiitely. He denied counsel's request for ad¬ journment and called Daniel Sealey, court clerk, aa the first witness.
This was for the purpose of proving the records of the court and for the purpose of showing that the Jurors had been admonished not to talk about the case before Its flnal submission to them. Charlea F. Egan of Freeport was called as first witness. He said that Cochran had made a proposal lo the jurors during the time that they were in deliberation that if they would volt' ¦for an acquittal an arrangement would be made '^thereby Plant would be kept from doing any wrong in the future; that he would live straight and that . IJ. Smith of HemiMtead; bAndaman for Riant before trial would be the guaran¬ tee foe Plant and his future good be- liavlor.
Egan quoted Cochran as ."aylng that George D. Smith would go the limit for Carman Plant that he had all kinds of money to protect Plant, and thit If Plant were convicted It would mean a new trial.
In reply to Justice Cropsey. Egan quoted Cochran again as saying that they would Invite the judge. George D. Smith and tho District Attorney to go into the Jury room to talk over such arrangement and the Cochran aaid that he could get George D. Smith to talk in the Jury room and guarantee Plant'a future good behavior to the Jury.
Egan and Cochran are the two men who voted for about twenty-one hours for acquittal when the other ten Jurors were vdtlng to convict Plant. Egan quoted Drlacoll as saying that George D. Smith had been the bondsman be¬ fore the trial and both DriscoII and Cochran aaid Plant waa high and dry for money; had aold his houa^ hud no funds; and that George D. Smith was probably financing him at this time.
"One morning Drlacoll came Into the hotel room," aaid. Egan, "and he said we could talk about thla caae. Just us two. There ta more In thla than la on the surface. There la a lot of politics In thla."
Egan aaid he gave an evasive answer and then Averlll Marlow came Into the room and the converaation waa inter¬ rupted.
Egan quotea Drlacoll as s&ying that be, DriscoII, waa an independent I>mo crat and had no Interest In the case except he knew there was politics In It. Replying to Justice Crop«ey the wit¬ ness aaid "thla waa about tha time the defenae had started."
Bgan recited the inatance In relation to Drlacoll who took hia revolver from hia hip pocket duringr tha deliberation in the Jury room, ejected the ahells, Maw In It, bad reloa4«d tha gun and put It down in front at him while the caaa was under dteewMon.

Mineola, May 27.—Sapreme Conrt Juitice Jaaieg C. Cropsey, sitting here today, had brought before him William J. DriscoII of Ocean Side and William E. Cochran of Lynbrook, both of whom were cited to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court.

Ori.scoll disreRardod certain testimony altogether becaii.se it was given by coil- victs, and that .sometimes tliat Dii.s- coll would sit back and icfuse to ili.s. CU.S.S any part of tho points being made.
Egan alxo tewllfieil that In tiie early part of (he dfllbeiAtioii Drl.sioll had called Fred Viiii .N'ostrand vile names. Thatvvas when Van .Vo.stiaiui h;id x.iid DriscoII wiiiild not be convinced uiiIism Plant adniitli.d the crimi.-.
KgLin al.so testilled that DriscoII had cursed nt ('. Nel.son HIckH of Kockville Cenlie, another j^un-r, when tho latt<'r had made some jocular remark to him, and that Drlsmll hail aUq emphasized his remarks with curMes "this won't do you anywwd-ln Rhok^ille fentre." Kgan at this point remonstrated and told DriscoII to cut nut all the feeling.
About this time Attorney Coles at¬ tempted to make objection.s to the court to certain testimony. Justice Cropsey insisted that counsel sit down and when Mr- Coles fought to continue .luslico Crop.soy shoutad at him "Sit down nn<l keep still."
"Will you listen to me?" asked Mr. Coles.
"I will not." replied the Court.
Justice Cropsey then insisted that counsel alt down and make his objec¬ tions in a. proper and orderly manner,
KKan resuming lil.s testimony, witness quoted Dri.scoll as .saying "as God is my Judge, J will nol change my opin¬ ion unless you ab.solutely jirove he i.s guilty."
Then, Mr. Kg.'in .said, Drisroll becnino very loud and all during the delibera¬ tions he shouted so loud no one else could be heard and at tiine.'j even Coch¬ ran said to him:
" Bill, for Clod's .sake keep quiet. They'll hear you in Hempstead."
DriscoII shouted every time any point was raised.
"DriscoII talked to me in the wash room, one time" .said Kgan, "with Coch. ran saying 'I'iant Is a good fellow, wliy not give him a chance- (Jan you swing some one over to us?' I told him it was not possible, [In my position to swing any one over."
Under cro.ss examination Tunison, meaning Irving D. Tunison, another juror, said thai the pro|>osal to bring George D. Hmith Into th«* jury room to guarantee I'lant's behavior was ridic¬ ulous and that Tunison said tho otHer two should vote with the ten for con¬ viction and If they were wrong they would be reversed In a higher court.
Egan said they all considered this proposal ridiculous.
Kred Van Nostrand, corroborated Egan's t«;8timony throughout, said Dris¬ coII cursed hirn. that DrlscoU didn't want to discuss the issues, recited the gun incident, and .said Cochran had said:
"I believe I'iant guilty, but I fell sorry for him."
Averiil Marlow told much the aame story aa the other two witneases had; said he had been curued by Driacoll, that he remon8tratc<l with DriscoII, and he said that when the dlsciuwion was under way, it was only heated on one side.
C. Nelson Hicks, a hai-rtware merch- ant of Rockville Centre, another Juror, said he had made some pleaaantrlea to DriscoII, and Dnacoll Had cursed him, using vll^ epitheta. He alao made aome referenoe about Hlcka' bualneaa in Rock¬ ville Centre, and waa conatrued. as threatening.
