Mineola, June 7.—The question of re sponsiblllty of Nassau county for dam¬ ages to persons by reason of low hang¬ ing branches of trees along qounty highways was brought before the Xas¬ sau Supervisors yesterday by Chair¬ man Hiram R. Smith. The matter was referred to County Attorney H. Stew¬ art McKnight for an opinion.
Chairman Smith said that in some places untrimmed branches of the trees hang so low that they are a men¬ ace to pedestrians. The question of how far the county is liable in the event of injury to persons passing un¬ der them, he considered serious. He recalled that in Freeport a boy, who sustained an injury to one eye received a substantial sum in damages from the village. He did not want the coun¬ ty to meet a similar situation If having trees trimmed would avoid It. The specific instance cited today was In Hempstead town.
On Supervisor Doughty's resolution the matter was referred to Mr. Mc¬ Knight.
Four motorcycle offlcers were ap- IK)inted from their standing on the Civil Service eligible list on the reso¬ lution by Supervisor Doughty. The men named are:
William T. Matthews of Glen Head; Charles P. Smith of Mineola; John A. Hahn of Baldwin, and Edward Hutch¬ inson of Oyster Bay. These men com¬ plete the Ust of those authorized sev¬ eral weeks ago. They were not ap¬ pointed because others were hichef on tbe list but refused to take appoint¬ ments when made. Their pay is 1208.33 monthly.
The Directors of the Hempstead Country Club asked the Supervisors by letter to consider the imving of a part of Front street in Hempstead at an early day. This section is to be Im¬ proved as a county road. Country Club offlclals set forth that they expect many activities at the club house with at¬ tendant automobile travel and urged the street Improvement as early as pos¬ sible. Tho matter was referred to Su¬ pervisors Smith and Doughty.
William Blake of Hempatead, was ap¬ pointed one of the force employed by Superintendent of Buildings Terry.
On the resolution of Supervisor Doughty, Attorney Charles E. Schweit¬ zer of Lynbrook, was appointed to pro¬ cure releases for the lands needed to widen Merrick road between Lynbrook and Valley Stream.
On Chairman Smith's resolution An¬ drews Brothers, of Mineola received the contract for rej^lrlng the asphaltic surface road known as the Nassau road between Freeport and Hempstead. The price is |4 the square yard.
The same firm, on the resolution of the chairman, also received the con¬ tract to furnish labor to oll from Je¬ rusalem avenue, Wantagh, to Hlcks¬ vllle road, Hempstead. The price Is 12 cents the square yard.
The People's National Bank of Lyn¬ brook was designated as a depository for county funds.

Mineola. June 7.—Counsel for WlUiam R. Cochran, of Lynbrook, and William J. Dri.scoll, of Ocean Side, the two jurors of the second trial of Carman Plant, who have been before Justice Cropsey to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court, have failed to flle briefs.
Justice Cropsey conducted an Inquiry lasting one whole day and Attorney Rowland Miles, for Driscoll and Frank¬ lin A. Coles, attorney for Cochran, ;it the conclusion of the day of questioning asked for a week in which to serve briefs on District Attorney Charles It. Weeks.
The week In which to present the briefs expired last Friday, biit counsel for the two men hafl not served them up to last evening.
"What does all the delay mean"? asked a well known attorney today who has followed the trials of Plant antt the other implicated in the denlinp: in stolen automobiles in Nassau County.
¦¦ This attorney said the delays and appearances of delays In cases that have I ^^^^^ grown out of the Plant triul seem a little unusual.
He called attention to the failure ot counsel for Driscoll and Cochran to flle briefs and remarked that counsel for Thomas V. Barbu<Hjand Herbert S. Har¬ vey, fonner sheriff of Queens County, had both been Indicted as the outcome of the Plant trials. After much talk the cases were Just where they were when the Indictments were first return¬ ed.
In both the Barbutl and Harvey cases a delay was asked for the expressed purpose of asking for a change of venue. Counsel for Barbutl has chang¬ ed his mind, is wUUng to go to trial in this county and counsel for Harvey seems to have reached about the same conclusion, unless something developes to change his mind.
Driscoll and Cochran will come be¬ fore Justico Cropsey later, when the Court wlH decide whether or not they are In contempt. They were the two men who voted long hours for acquittal for Plant. Later he changed his plea to guilty and his oasa collapsed.

Freeport, June 7,—The new regula¬ tions adopted by the Village Board re¬ cently, known ns Ordinances 64, 55, 56 and 57, having been advertised for the required length of time, went into effect at midnight Monday. Hereafter they will be enforced by the police.
Hereafter it will be unlawful to build sldewtalks without getting the curb line from tho viliagc engineer.
A parking place on Olive Boulevard has been designated for automobiles. Hereafter it will be unlawful to le.ive them unattended on the village streets longer than fifteen minutes at a time.
A public marlijet has been set ut) on Oliver Boulevard. It Is unlawful for hucksters' wagons fo stand at any place (excai)t the deplgnatied market place.
Suitable markers have been ordert"'. for the parking place and public mar ket and will bo InstjiUed in a few days.
Credit for establishing the public market Is due primarily to Trustee Howard E. Pearsall who agitated the movement last year.
The ordinance stating that no car« shall park on Main street has not found favor with the business men. A petition against it was read at the last Board meeting. Representatives of tho busi¬ ness men were asked to appear before the Board at its meeting Friday night of this week when the ordinance will be explained to them. It is thought that they will see the value of it at that time.
Village President Robert Christie stated last evening that the Village Board has no desire to go against tht wishes of the business men, but ttu^t the ordinance was Introduced fo- their beneflt. The fact that flre appuVatus. responding to an alarm, has been forced to stop twice during the last month on account of the congestion on Main street is an argument in favor of the ordinance.
Police offlcers going on duty last night wero instructed by Chief Hartman to enforce the new ordinances to the letter.

Mineola, June 7.—That Miss Laura Bromwell, the 23-year-old aviatrix, of New York and Cincinnati, who waa killed when her plane fell a 1,000 feet at ^Garden City Sunday afternoon, was either t(X) small to operate the plane she had or that she fell partly from the plane, when it was upside-down and could not help herself, Is^the opinion of an Informal board of inquiry that met here yesterday afternoon.
.¦Augustus Post, secretary of the Areo Club of America, invited to inspect the wrecked plane and take the testimony of eye-witnesses, came out from New York yesterday primarily to see what steps could be taken to make flying .safer.
Mr. Post heard the stories told by Charles E. Hathon, ot 22 Lafayette avenue, Hempstead; Willinm II. Crntch- fleld, engineer from McCook Field, .Mich., Lloyd Bertaud, chief i)llot, of the S. P. A. Company, J. P. Tarbox, secretary of the Curtis Company and Charles S. Jones, chief i)llot of the Cur¬ tis Company.
The general opinion after the hearing was that Miss Hromwell came to her death by her own daring and that had ahe been of large statute sho would have beeil able to control the .l.\ 4 Canadian i>lane she took for her last flight.
Mr. Post says this type of plane Is not adapted to "stunting" and that because Miss Cromwell was a small girl, but 5 feet 2 inches tall, she evident¬ ly lost control while in the upper i>art of thu loop and could not regain it.
Mr. Bertaud quotes Miss Bromwell as saying:
"Dick told mc not to stunt the Can¬ uck. What's the use of flying If you can't stunt?" She meant that Richard Depew, of the Curtis Company, had warned her and by the "Canuck" sho meant the Canadian plane.
Mr. Depew substantiated this stalc- ment at the hearing.
Mr. Jones said the girl was handi¬ capped by reason of her size, tiiat she was doubtless thrown from her scat when the plane was on its back and becau.ie of that she was unabft- to re.Tch the foot controls that operate the rud¬ der. She was also out of reach of tho control ".stick."
Mr. Jones said It is doubtful If it will ever be known whether or not the motor was runninK when Ihe sliij) turned over, although some of the testimony went to show that the shiji had ascend- e(t slightly after It once started to fall. He said that even if the motors were going it would have been impossible to straighten the machine up to make a safe landing from the position it was in as it fell.
Mr. Post also said that the machine was functioning properly and It was also shown that the control wires were all In place even after the crash.
Air. Bertaud said that ho, used u similar plane for "stunt" flying at Ben- brook Field in Texas he had a lap strap as well as the shoulder straps that Miss Bromwell used. A flier re¬ marked yesterday that It was difflcult to tighten the safety belts to hold one close to the seat if the plane turned over.
Mr. Bertaud suggested to Mr. Post that all pilots doing stunts be taught how to handle all the planes so that what they could do In one they could do In all of them.

Smith. The matter was referred to County Attorney H. Stew¬ art McKnight for an opinion. Chairman Smith said that in some places untrimmed branches of the trees hang so low that they are a men¬ ace to pedestrians. The question of how far the county is liable in the event of injury to persons passing un¬ der them, he considered serious. He recalled that in Freeport a boy, who sustained an injury to one eye received a substantial sum in damages from the village. He did not want the coun¬ ty to meet a similar situation If having trees trimmed would avoid It. The specific instance cited today was In Hempstead town.

Matthews of Glen Head; Charles P. Smith of Mineola; John A. Hahn of Baldwin, and Edward Hutch¬ inson of Oyster Bay. These men com¬ plete the Ust of those authorized sev¬ eral weeks ago.

The Directors of the Hempstead Country Club asked the Supervisors by letter to consider the imving of a part of Front street in Hempstead at an early day. This section is to be Im¬ proved as a county road. Country Club offlclals set forth that they expect many activities at the club house with at¬ tendant automobile travel and urged the street Improvement as early as pos¬ sible.

Freeport, June 7,—The new regula¬ tions adopted by the Village Board re¬ cently, known ns Ordinances 64, 55, 56 and 57, having been advertised for the required length of time, went into effect at midnight Monday. Hereafter they will be enforced by the police. Hereafter it will be unlawful to build sldewtalks without getting the curb line from tho viliagc engineer. A parking place on Olive Boulevard has been designated for automobiles. Hereafter it will be unlawful to le.ive them unattended on the village streets longer than fifteen minutes at a time. A public marlijet has been set ut) on Oliver Boulevard. It Is unlawful for hucksters' wagons fo stand at any place (excai)t the deplgnatied market place. Suitable markers have been ordert"'. for the parking place and public mar ket and will bo InstjiUed in a few days. Credit for establishing the public market Is due primarily to Trustee Howard E. Pearsall who agitated the movement last year. The ordinance stating that no car« shall park on Main street has not found favor with the business men. A petition against it was read at the last Board meeting. Representatives of tho busi¬ ness men were asked to appear before the Board at its meeting Friday night of this week when the ordinance will be explained to them. It is thought that they will see the value of it at that time. Village President Robert Christie stated last evening that the Village Board has no desire to go against tht wishes of the business men, but ttu^t the ordinance was Introduced fo- their beneflt. The fact that flre appuVatus. responding to an alarm, has been forced to stop twice during the last month on account of the congestion on Main street is an argument in favor of the ordinance. Police offlcers going on duty last night wero instructed by Chief Hartman to enforce the new ordinances to the letter.

Mineola, June 7.—That Miss Laura Bromwell, the 23-year-old aviatrix, of New York and Cincinnati, who waa killed when her plane fell a 1,000 feet at ^Garden City Sunday afternoon, was either t(X) small to operate the plane she had or that she fell partly from the plane, when it was upside-down and could not help herself, Is^the opinion of an Informal board of inquiry that met here yesterday afternoon. .¦Augustus Post, secretary of the Areo Club of America, invited to inspect the wrecked plane and take the testimony of eye-witnesses, came out from New York yesterday primarily to see what steps could be taken to make flying .safer. Mr. Post heard the stories told by Charles E. Hathon, ot 22 Lafayette avenue, Hempstead; Willinm II. Crntch- fleld, engineer from McCook Field, .Mich., Lloyd Bertaud, chief i)llot, of the S. P. A. Company, J. P. Tarbox, secretary of the Curtis Company and Charles S. Jones, chief i)llot of the Cur¬ tis Company. The general opinion after the hearing was that Miss Hromwell came to her death by her own daring and that had ahe been of large statute sho would have beeil able to control the .l.\ 4 Canadian i>lane she took for her last flight. Mr. Post says this type of plane Is not adapted to "stunting" and that because Miss Cromwell was a small girl, but 5 feet 2 inches tall, she evident¬ ly lost control while in the upper i>art of thu loop and could not regain it. Mr. Bertaud quotes Miss Bromwell as saying: "Dick told mc not to stunt the Can¬ uck. What's the use of flying If you can't stunt?" She meant that Richard Depew, of the Curtis Company, had warned her and by the "Canuck" sho meant the Canadian plane. Mr. Depew substantiated this stalc- ment at the hearing. Mr. Jones said the girl was handi¬ capped by reason of her size, tiiat she was doubtless thrown from her scat when the plane was on its back and becau.ie of that she was unabft- to re.Tch the foot controls that operate the rud¬ der. She was also out of reach of tho control ".stick." Mr. Jones said It is doubtful If it will ever be known whether or not the motor was runninK when Ihe sliij) turned over, although some of the testimony went to show that the shiji had ascend- e(t slightly after It once started to fall. He said that even if the motors were going it would have been impossible to straighten the machine up to make a safe landing from the position it was in as it fell. Mr. Post also said that the machine was functioning properly and It was also shown that the control wires were all In place even after the crash. Air. Bertaud said that ho, used u similar plane for "stunt" flying at Ben- brook Field in Texas he had a lap strap as well as the shoulder straps that Miss Bromwell used. A flier re¬ marked yesterday that It was difflcult to tighten the safety belts to hold one close to the seat if the plane turned over. Mr. Bertaud suggested to Mr. Post that all pilots doing stunts be taught how to handle all the planes so that what they could do In one they could do In all of them. 41.300 AUTOMOBUJES PASSED TRAFHC POUCEMAN SHORT, DINNERLESS, SUPPERLESS, Lynl)rook, June 7.—More automobiles passed the Five Corners under the direc¬ tion of Truffle Offlcer Short on Decor¬ ation Day than on any other ctay In the history of Naasau County, at any known point.
