William Clarke, of New Londoh, Conn.. in his address nt the antual rhemorial services of the Freeport Lodge of Elks, No. 1253, at the Armerican Theatre, here yesterday after- moon. Over 500 persons attended the mervicés which were suld to be the most elaborate and imprensive ever conducted by the lodge. The theatre seemed transformed into & holy temple. Every person present was awednspired by the solemn and impos- ing reryioes that were held in honor of the departed Elks of Freeport.. It was an occasion that will long be remember #0 by Freeport Elkdom, The services lasted over two hours, during which the departed Elks were eulogized and rover ed in a manner that is befitting only the great. Past Exalted Ruler Clarke delivered the oration, which was declared the greatest ever delivered on a imilar oc- emmion before the Freeport Elks.

The snowstorm, however, has fixed the season of the year in the minds of many. The sight was refreshing be. \These annual meetings are a peren- nail chain linking th epresent with the past.

This meais that there are 7,280 leas voters enrolled this year than were en- rolled in 1920 for this year's primaries. Those who enrolled at the last election did so for the purpose of participating in the primaries in 1922 and the light enrolment means that a lot of people either did not desire to take part in the party primaries or, because this is what is known as the off-year in politics, the vote did not come out as it did in the presidential election of a year ago. Last year when there war,a tremon- dous /s of the people geferally to the Republican ranks throughout the country the enrolment was swollen be- youd anything that was ever before known. This year, with no state or country officers to elect there was not the interest that would otherwise have been manifested. \ 'The Republicans have a total enrol: ment in the county now of 23,035 which times that of the Demo- next highest of the enrolled Last the Republicans umber of 80,208 but presidential election and had the figures been avai on the election day would have forecasted that tremendous vote that repudiated 'Wilsonism and elected.

Two of the prisoners feigned they did not speak English but the third gve them sufficient information to warrant their being held on charges of violating the Mullin-Gage prohibition act. None of the three resisted anrost, obviously realizing they were caught \with the goods.\ Chief Hartmann and his men were scouring the village for bootleggers Sat- urday night when they discovered a Ford nutomobile truck, with the lights out, standing at Smith and Grove streets.

Stewart MeKnight and the Board of Supervisors in inter vening in the McCoun case in defense of the nssessment rolls is justified. The Court of Appeals has just hand ed down the decision in the case of Harriet J. McCoun mgainst Amy K Pierpont and it is of great importance to Nassau County since if an adverse decision had been rendered tax sale« by County Treasurer William E. Luyster involving some $600,000 of monies paid into the county would have been invult dated. At a sale in 1917 Harriet. Me- Coun bought in two lotB-a¢-Long Beach owned by Nele Cranz of a value of $3, 000 for the unpaid taxes mounting to n few dollars. She conveyed a onn fifth interest in these lots to Amy K Pierpont and then started an action in partition making Mrs. Pierpont and Nellie Cranz defendants for the purpose of bringing the owner of the lots into court to determine the Interest of the several parties in the property and bave n sale or partition as the respective in- terosts were found. Nellie Cranz, the owner of the fee de- fended the sult and asked for & cancel. lation of the tax deed on three grounds, firstly, that the assessment for 1914 was invalid as ditto marks wore not ro- peated In the deseription column of the masessment roll after the description at the head of the-colimm; secondly, that the number of the map was oraittsd from the title of the map at the head of the column; thirdly, that the notion of sale that followed the description in the assessment roll was Irregular and defective. The trial court found for the defend ant and directed a cancellation of the | tax deed which would have opened the way to upset tax sales and tax deeds for hundreds of thousands of doliars worlh of property in this county if County Treasurer Luyster and County Attorney McKnight had been content to let the matter reat there. that the license number in front of the machine was different from the plate in the rear. One number read: N. Y. 802,002, the other N. Y. 832,376. The chief then examined the inside of the machine and said he found five cases wrapped in bags and labelled \cherry wine, 21 per cent aloohol.\ Relteving the machine had been abandoned, the chief ang his men hid behind trees.
