BY the Associated Press.
BROCKTON, Mass, March IA
The Indians" who burned 9-year-old
Edward Smith "at the stake" last
Saturday carried him to his grave
yesterday. The youngsters, whose
ages ranged from to IL, wept openly.
Overcoming their first bitterness at
the tragic termination of the fatal
game, during which Eddie and
companion were lashed to tree
around which grass and leaves had
been heaped and then set on fire. Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Smith, the boys
parents, yielded to the fearful en-
treaties of the grief-stricken In
dians" and granted their request to
serve as pallbearers.
Rev william P. MaciaSzek in his
eulogy said: This little boy who has
gone on. in his last moments had. no
complaints against exemplifying the
spirit of Christian charity and for
giveness. In his last whispered prayer
he asked that nothing be done to his
playmates."
1t appeared practically certain the
police would follow the example of
Eddie and his parents and forgive the
youthful Indians"

Virginia. due to enforce uniform
plates on April /, will then be using
white plates with black lettering. For
the following year they have decided
to reverse these colors, Van Duzer has
been informed. Maryland will follow
a similar policy, he said, and for 1886
they will reverse the present color
scheme Of blue letters on a white
background. The local director said
he had requested similar information
of the nearby States before deciding
on the makeup of this years Dis
trict plates, but that it did not come
through in time.
Policemen are able to distinguish
between the three sets of plates now"
Van Duzer said today, but the aver
age citizen cannot. Personally,
would like to see automobile plates
three times as large as they are now,
large enough so anybody might read
and identify them without trouble.
1t would prevent a fair percentage of
these hit-and-run accidents. I don't
suppose the car owners would stand

new cars is most important to them. {"
