Chauffeur Makes Admission Involving Police in Ros-
 enthal Murder.
FIVE ARE BEING HELD
William Shapiro Gives Name of Those Who Escaped in iiiS Car-t'ay-
 nor fingered By Friction.

New York, July 22-Hour by hous today, facts which point to direct collision between members of the po- lice force and the men that killed Gambler Herman Rosenthal, became more strongly outlined. Where once the highest officials of the police de- partment secuted such an idea, now they refuse to make a statement even alleged to be involved.
 Mayor Gaynor, angered by the friction between the state and city forces, ordered the police to co-opg- ate with District Attorney Whitman in running down the murderer. Fol lowing this order from the Mayer, Lieutenant Becker was removed from the leadership of Squad No. 1, known as the strong arm squad" and as- signed to desk duty a. the station.
 Coroner Feinburg at his examina- ton this afternoon held Louis Web Der and Sam Paul for examination Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and Louis Libby, William Shapiro and Jack Rose for examination Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
 The District Attorney and the po- lice must collect their evidence and present it against the men named be- fore the date fixed by the coroner or the prisoners will be released. Libby and Shapiro, who offered to turn states evidence, if guaranteed im- munity have not been questioned, nor has tse guarantee of immunity been made.
 Otto Versi, chauffeur fer Col H. s. Sternberger, the broker through whom Lieutenant Becker is sad to have made Wall street investments was a new witness sent before the grand jury by the District Attorney Versi was asked to recount the incl dents of Becker's ride in the Stern berger automobile on the night of tho murder and when he had finished was ordered to report for further questioning Wednesday.
 The men in custody around whom the net of the law is tightening houl by hour are Louis Libby, owner of ,ht automobile used for the murder, Will liam Shapiro partner of Libby, wh, drove the car; Jacob Rose, gamb Ter, who is charged with staging tn murder and collecting the men wh committed it; Louis Webber, who i charged with aiding the conporotor and in whose house 1t is alleged tn killing was planned, and Sam Pau leader of a band of East Side gamb lers.

Little Rock, Ark, July 22-Again the machinery of state is being turn ed in the trial of w. A. Dutch" Jones, under indictments for the kill ing of the late Police sergaint Will liam l. Campbell
 Converting shortly after 10 o'clock Monday morning the First Division of the Circuit Court, with Judge R. J. Lea on the bench, opened with the same sides lined up for the prosecu- tion and defense as appeared in the first trial len days ago.
 In order to be on the safe side the sheriff and his deputies had sum- moned a venire of 100 men from which to select jury. Acting under orders from the court and the sug- gestions from attorneys on both sides the ven'remen were chosen from the outlaying townships away, from the cities. This was done SO as to se- cure, if possible, jurors who had not been too closely connected or inter- ested in the previous trial.
 Forty-One Men Eexamined
 Only forty-one jurors were examin ed and at 12:55 p. m. the court ad journed until ? o'clock, at which time the actual statement of the case began, and the taking of testimony will follow in short order. Of the number examined eight were chal- enged by the States attorneys, ten were excused by the defense and eleven sdismissed by the court.
 The scene in the courtroom was the same practically as at the beginning of the first case. Judge F. T. Vaug- hn, Gus lFulk and Will Akers are counsel for the defendant. Prosecut- ing Attorney Robert l.. Rogers will be assisted for the State by Lewis RhotOn and Judge T. J. Bullock of Russellville.
 Dutch" Jones appeared in the cour' room bright and early. He seem- ed to be somewhat stronger than dur ing the first trial. Charlie Jones stat ed that he was considerably im- pIoved since that time and was rest 1 ing easier from his wounds. l The family of Sergeant Campbell again appeared, to be present during the trial. c. E. Campbell. the ser geant's father, sat near his special counsel during the examination of witnesses.
 Both sides believe that the trial will be short one, and on account of the hot season will be pushed to an early completion. The defense, while not making any open statement, has intimated that strong evidence has been secured since the first case which will be submitted at this trial A large number of witnesses have been summoned to testify for both the state and defense.
 The last trial resulted in hung jury, which, after being out forty hours, voted to 3 for acquittal. The indictment charges Jones with first dewrea murder
