A ccord ing to the story told by his com panions, Brand was the only one of the quartette to go into the water. He stated that he was ' going to see how far he could ^ swim. The water is shallow for a little ways, and then drops to a ? d ^ t h of nearly twenty feet, and when the young lad dropped off the ledge, he was powerless and . ‘ sank. His companions were un- w able to aid him as he appeared ^ T) on the surface three times before he went down, but sumntoned tW scene* and w a iiam Edde, Jr. aad Joseph Zone searched hard but to no avail. At 8 :30 in the evening, the body was hy Ernest and Clyde Brand, un^ elds of the young lad, who spent several hoars with grappling ‘ hooks.

WORLD m i S E S HOOVER. No more fulaome tribute to the character,I ability -and fitnesk of Herbert Hoover tp. be president of'the Unifed*‘States haa been printed than that publishWin the editorial, polumns of tlie New York Morning World of January 2ist, 1920. -The editori^ fol lows : “ In the judgement of TJie World, the best equipped and best qualified man to succeed Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States is Herbert Hoover. We should be glad to support Mr. Hoover as the Democratic candidate for President on a plat form that represented the histori cal principles of the Democratic Party. We should be glad to support him as an independent candidate on a platform of pro gressive liberalism. We should not hesitate to support him as a Republican candidate on a plat form representing the kind of government which Mr. Hoover has exemplified in his public career. “For itself, The World does not care whether Mr. Hoover calls himself a Democrat or a Republican or a Progressive or an Indepeitflenlr He i$ the kiud the man The^ World intends, to support for il^resideht tbe United States regardless of all the artifi cial barriers of \ a .debased and discredited partisanship.” Today, eight and a half years later, this same newspaper just as strenuously is supporting G^trer- nor Alfred R.. Smith, Boss of Tammany Hall and Mr. Hoover’s Democratic rival for the Presi dency. The excuse offered by The World for its history making literary flip-flop is that during the intervening eight years, Mr. Hoover has become a machine politician. Apparently, in framing this alibi. The World has forgotten that A1 Smith is the boss of Tam many Hall, the most sinister pol itical machine in the nation. Like wise, The World forgets that its own editorial columns currently have exposed graft running into tens of millions of dollars taken from New York City Taxpayers ruled by this same Tammany, upon which Mr, Smith and The World will rely for New York State majorities this Fall.

The new plates are about two inches shorter than the present series and the colors are just reversed, being black letters and figures on an orange back ground., They arc a much bet ter looking plate than the ©nes now in use^ There are 4*999 'pairs of the Class A plates, pleasure cars, and they run from 9-F-55-01 to 9*F- 99-99; Class C plates, commer cial, are 1000 in number and run from 929-201 to 930-200 ; Class D, Trailers, arc 25 in number and run from 203-751 to 203- 775 J Class F plates, motorcycle, are 50 in number' and run from 10601 to 10650.

N O . 22 TSIAL CBANGED. ----- - ChiriM Hirold Pratz, indicted for seOond degree forgery at the February term of Supreme Court, held in Waterloo will be tried in Yates c<mnty, accordiifg to the decision of Justice Adelbert P. Rich, following argument by at- torntys*at a special term of Sup reme Cbirt in Rochester on Moa- day. District Attorney J. Willard Huff fought vigorously against taking the .case out of the county for trial and pr^:sented many peti tions to the court from citizens who were of the opinion that a faiir and impartial trial could be held in Seneca county. Pratz, indicted on two counts, — on information furnished by the First National Bank of Ovid, al leging forgery in the second de gree would have been tried in June at Ovid, but when the Dis trict Attorney attempted to move the case for trial a show cause order was served upon him, gran ted by Judge Adolph J. Roden- beck, which restrained action, pending argument until July 36th to show cause why the trial should not be held in another county. Attorneys Daniel Moran and former Cdurity Judge F. Bodifie edntended Pratk couW d 6 i obtllfin ^ kfthle opihum oi^.<;eoMflt of Ae Z v it z a n ^ k fail^rf^and th^ fairuire of the fir|A oTPekfk,, Kiini add Pratz, pro- d^efbdeatfl^rof W a l ^ l ^ JiM o itR tch, i«'.g'r»toftfee fpT PrstZg cited the prej^ud* ieg which always followed bank faitutes and the e x c i t e m e n t throughout communities where people had lost money in finan cial disasters. He cited not only the Zartman Bank failure but re called the disaster at Ovid seve ral years, ago when the J. B. Thomas private bank through in solvency wrecked the fortunes of many' residents of the south end of Seneca County. For the a- bove reasons and for the publicity that has followe^d the case, Justice Rich wa.s of the opinion that it would be a hard matter to secure a jury in either end of Seneca County. Just when District Attorney Huff will move the case for trial at Penn Yan, the county seat of Yates County, could hot be learn- efftoday, but it is -the opinion of many here that it will be in the near future.
