SUPERVISORS in
CAUCUSPONDER
OVER ENGINEER
Dismissal of Whitehouse is Still
Unsettled Question; Salaries
Raised and Lowered r.

Following their decision to segre-
gate the road department from the Of
fee of the city and county engineer,
the supervisors in caucus last night
voted to cut the engineers salary
from $500 to 1925 a month. The sal
airy of the new road overseer was
placed at 5000, and Harry Murray,
manager of the water department, re-
ceived raise of SIS. t.. ..~..<. ,
Considerable talk but little action
was taken in the meeting relative to
the dismissal of City Engineer White.
house. When Supervisor Single, who
favors keeping Whitehouse because
OF his ability to handle data on street
work and his general knowledge of
such improvements, asked the other
members for an expression of opinion
on the expulsion of Whitehouse, con-
siderable excitement was manifest.
Supervisor Larsen, who has opposed
Whitehouse from the beginning of the
caucuses, stated that he would not
confirm the reappointment of the en-
gineer under any consideration.
Arnold Makes Charges.
Arnold stated that the engineer had
'let the board down" at various times
inspite of repeated opportunities to
make good, and declared that White
house did not deserve reappointment
He did not object to giving White
house employment in the engineering
Office, however.
Logan, who had previously an
nounced that he was not yet ready to
vote on the question, said following
Arnold's speech that there was moth
inf more to be said, Arnold being one
who spoke as with authority through
his experience the last two months
at the head of the road department.
He suggested that in case any engin-
eer does not keep up his work the
mayor should be made to dismiss him.
Hollinger laughingly declared that
he was on the fence in the matter,
and AHA favored keeping Whitehouse
in office. Supervisor Homer was not
present at the meeting.

TEN JURORS IN
 CARAVAN JURY BOX
States New Evidence Relates to tic Hour of the Shooting, Says
 District Attorney.

Mineola, N. Y., May 4.-One hun drcd additional talesmen from whose numbers more jurors were to be chosen to try Mrs. Florence E. Car man for the murder of Mrs. Louise D. Bailey last June were in the supreme court room today when the trial was resumed. Five jurors had been se- lected in the first days session. 1t was expected, however, that the jury box would be filled today.
 Mrs. Carman spent the night locked uo in the jail here, Her active part in the selection of tho jury is one of the chief features of her second trial Tn the first trial she had little to say about the choice of jurors but this time she seems to be in charge of that part of her case and her three attor- neys defer to her Judgment
 Before court opened District Attor- ney Smith said the chief new evl- dence he had to present related to tho hour of the shooting. 1t was tho contention of the defense in the first trial that Mrs. Bailey was shot about 8 o'clock in the evening and that the unseen assailant escaped in the dark MT. Smith said that he would produce witnesses to prove that the shooting occurred about z o'clock, when it was still light. The Freeport police were notified about o'clock
 Ten jurors were in the box when court adjourned for the luncheon re- cess.
