UTERAa TEST FOR VOTERS TO BE DECIDED IN FALL
.AlbttAjr. N, Y., A^rll 16.—Whether voters hereafter must submit to a lit-
a vigorous denial thnt there was any intention '<5J' that therfe had been any such intention to entertain a motion to dismiss the Indictment against former County Detective Cnrman Plant. Plant who was once tried on an Indictment charging him with receiving stolen automobiles will be retried at the next term of the Supreme Court that Is pos¬ sible, says District Attorney Weeks,
The first trial resulted In a dl.sagree- ment after the jury bad been o\it many hours. District Attorney Weeks' state¬ ment today in" relation to the Indict¬ ment against Plant is brought about by a news article which was published in a Brooklyn newspaper last evening which speculated on the possibility of the charges against Plant being dis¬ missed and cited the dismissal of other Indictments of the County, although the article conceded tbere Is no simiv larlty.
District Attorney Weeks said: "My attention was called to an article last night in the Brooklyn Times to the ef feet that the indictment against Car¬ man Plant would probjihly be dis¬ missed. I do not know In whose fer¬ tile brain this article originated, per¬ haps with someone in whom the wish was father to the thought.
"We shall ti-y the Plant case provid¬ ed our witnesses arf alive at the next term of Supreme Court, If possible. No mention has-been made to dismi.«s tbe Indictment for prosecution nnd If one is made It will be" ViKeiutiWy flpposed. , Thf trial of Carman Plant In Su¬ preme Court here attracted n great deal of attention because of Plant's former confidential relations to District Attorney We*ks, who was tbe man who tried the case against him.
Attorney Oeorge Morton Levy ap¬ peared for Plant In that trial.

Referee Dickey*t Recemmenda-
tiotts Settles Ques^ta Raised
by State Prison Commission
Mlneoln, Xprll 15.—The report of Ref¬ eree William D. Dickey In the matter of the changes and improvements to fhe Na.s.sau County Jail demanded by tho State T'ri.sons Commission was flled yes¬ terday with the Appellate Division of Supreme Court.
In effect it provides for the division of the jail into eight compartments of four cells each in the male tier of the jail and four compartments of three cells each irt the female tier. It al.so provides for a hospital and witness room.s and becau.se of this It is expect¬ ed that the quarters reserved for the sherilT and his family must be vacated and a separate structure built fnr them.
The recommendallons of the referee means a saving to the county of about $250,000, it is .said, over what the origin¬ al plans would have cost.
The demand for changes In the jail, additions and improvements was brought about by wartime conditions. The State Pri.sons Commission made a visit to the jail when «the camps bere- ai$outs wcr^full and when the Jail had a greajiy increased population. It was prior to the prohibition era and a cer¬ tain number of offenders came {from that source al.so.
The commission, after seeing the Jail and the jail popuintion, demanded an additional 100 cells and many other changes including a hospital and a .sep- ai-ate bouse for the sheriff.
The Board of Supervlsons thought the dcnutnds excessive, the costs too high, and there was a deadlock. The prls.- ons Commission wont to the Appellate Division of Supreme Court to compel the Board to make the changes. The coui"* referred the whole matter to Ref¬ eree Dickey. 1
In the meantime conditions changed. The camp population was greatly re¬ duced, thc prohibition act became al most effective and did have an effect of lessening tbe prisoners sent to the coun¬ ty Jail and tho.se conditions that had existed when the commLsslonera saw tbe Jail changed materially.
The Board of Supervisors called In Attorney Henry L'tcrbart to carry on tbeir fight against the great expendi¬ ture that was involved In tbe proposed improvements and had plans prepared by William Beardsley»of Pougbkeepsie, showing what was practical and feasi- [ ble from the county's .standpoint and wbicb included a central heating plant. The commission refused to change their Ideas and tb«f matter went to the Court of'Appeals but flnally came the report of the referee yesterday.
During the time the nuitter wurpnid'- Inff a Grand Jury made certain recom¬ mendations and that seemed te
Rockville Centre, .April 15.—.^ new way to record .savings without keeping a complicated set of hooks for a jear. is to be taught the residerits of this village through a co-operative plan which will he .infolded in all its details within a month.
Thi' merchants of the vill.ago together with tho banks are in close accord on tho project and anticipate a complete change in the mdhod of trading in Rockville (^entre.
The idea is a thrift builder and brings into play the Ingenuity of tho youth, toachlng them thrift and jn the end converting parents to believe that It pays to patronize home industry.
.Approximately thirt.v morchants of the village have entei'od into tho i>ian r>rove to the community that with Its co-operation greater convonionce.s will be at hand and a pronounced .saving ofToclod. The co.st of living witl be re¬ duced.
The details of the plan cannot as yet be revealed because a great deal of pre¬ paratory work is still to be done. An¬ nouncements of the progre.ss of the idea and complete unfolding of the plan will be publLshod in the Review from time to time.
Suffice to .sny that when the entire scheme is in working order, parents wiil bo as enthusiastic over the propo¬ sition as will be the youngsters.
The success of the plan depends laigoly ur>on the co-operation given by tho consuming public. U has within its i>owor the means of making a big¬ ger, better Rockville Centre if it gives the support that the project wariants. Women's .<Siibs are particulnrly In¬ vited'- to give consideration tb the Idea as it unfolded. Specific information will 1)0 gladly given to tho.se women of the community who will stop in the Review office, the next time they vL^it the I'ost Offlce, and leave their names -jind nd- drosses that particulars might be fur¬ nished. Tho.se of the residents who are unable to call in per.son are invif«i to mail their names and address, indicating in tho jotter that they are interested in tho Lower Cost of Living Plan.
Children between the nges of twelve and flfte<i|n yeurs are al.so invited to leave their names in tho Review offlce or send them by mail. There is work for them to do in conjupction with the plan and they will receive 'remunera¬ tion for their efforts.
The Lower Cost of Living Plan is In¬ tended to piomofo community co-opera¬ tion in its fullest extent and no partic¬ ular individual will honoflt from it. It will teach home banking and is .so far- reaching as to extend into tho every¬ day work of school children.
The Review is not directly iilentiftod with the plan but .sees in it nn o|)por- tunity to help the merchants, help the housewife and l>oost Rockvlllo (>ntro generally. It Is therefore lending its aid in ths venture. Send in your name at once so that complete details will he forthcoming as soon as the prepar¬ atory work is comi>leted.
