Minnola, May 14.—Thomas V. Bjir- butti, of Inwoo<l, and Mprvln h. Dlclt- prHon, of Lynbrook, werB iioth indicted for porjury by the arnnd Jury ypstcr- day afternoon. They both entorwl formal pleoH of not KUllty and woro ro- mand(>d In lieu of Itaii, which thp court fixed at $5000 each.
At a late hour yesterdoy afternoon they were still seeklnR nomeone iwho would furnish the surety that would re- lease them.
Dickerson   was  admitted  to  ball  last night by  Supreme Court Justice  Mme-. Crate  at  flea  Ollff.    He  gat  for   Iodk hours   In   the   custody  of   court   ofliccr Joseph  Ring with Barbutti while both of  them   were  making effort   to  reach friends by  telephone  who might  come to thelp aid with a hall bond  In  sum- dent amount  to release them. Both Obtain  Rail Finally     Dicker.son     got     Karl     \V. nrown  of  Rwkville  Centre and James Whitehead   of   Inwood    to   furnish   a bond for him.    Then Officer Uing took Dickerson   to  Justice  MacCrate's  sum mer  home at  Sea Cliff  where   he   was admitted to ball and released.
"I have no friend. I must go to Jail" prnld Ujirbuttl when (Dickerson was led away to appear before Justice MacCrate. h«t he had reckoned with¬ out his one good friend, his wife, who appeared at the court house thla morn¬ ing with bondsmen to furnish ball nec¬ essary  to  let iUm  out on ball.
Mrs. Barbutti brought Mr. and Mrs. Oeorge R. Forbell of Rockville Centre and they put up the $5,000 ttond piedg Ing' tholr horns and property and toelK Barbutti  awuy  with  them.
County Judge Lewis J. .Smith admit¬ ted Barbutti to ball.
Both, men are accused of having .sworn falsely   at   the   first   trial   of 'Carman Plant, and Barbutti repeated hi.s testi¬ mony at^ the seoondj trial of Plant.   Both of theae trials resulted in disagreements. Plant was charged with criminally  re¬ ceiving stolen goods,  omls.slon of duty a.H an offlcer and conspiracy.    He was being tried on the first charge, a felony. The   Orand   Jury   went   into   scsiilon early  yesterday  morning,   but  later  it »wf)ji-j*5used until 2 o'clock In the after- -BWfcOn.     Shortly  thereafter  Matthew  J.
O'Neill,   the   convict  witness,   ond  Wil¬ liam Hoffman, who Is under indictment, were brought from the Jail and closeted with District Attorney Weeks. Indlrtments Read
Then Dickerson was taken before (he Orand Jury, and within a few minutes both Dickerson and Barbutti had been Indicted.
The Indictments were returned to Jus¬ tice Cropsey and Dickerson and Bar¬ butti  were  arraigned at once.
Court Clerk Daniel Sealey railed Dickerson to the bar, announcing that he had been indicted for perjury, and askihg him how he would plead. Dick¬ erson mumbled something that could not bo heard ten feet away, and the court advised him that he might fleod not guilty for the present. He did .so and his ball was flxBd at ISOOO.
In the meantlmfe, Barbutti, who had known that his case yms being, consid¬ ered by the Orand Jury, came into, the cotirt room. The same procedure was gone through in relation to him, and he replied to Clerk Sealey, saying:
"I plead not guilty, and ask the privilege of changing my plea later."
Justice Cropsey assented, and flxed Barbuttl's ball at ISOOO also. Barbutti Seemed on the verge of collapse, and sank into a chair close by, with his head butled in his hand. He was a de¬ jected flgure, and was much changed from tiie debonair, dapper witness he had once been.
District Attorney Weeks asked the court to set May 33 as the day for trial of Dickerson and Barbutti, and the Judge agreed.
The Orand Jury vas sent borne to reappear Tuesday, when additional In¬ vestigations in the deals In stolen motor vehicles in Nassau County will be made. Dickerson's  Story
Dickerson's story of bow the per* Jury was "framed" is that he met Plant in the Mtreet. It is said that it was during tbe time of the first trial, and that Plant asked him to testify jfor kim and to prove an alibi by swearaif that he, witb Plant and SarbutU dJ««d tO' xethcr at the Btka' Club. Dlekersoa ia said to bave acread. because Plaat bad once donf a favor for htm.

learned what Dickerson would testify, and when Barbutti did go on the .stand ho supported the testimony of Dicker- son, which Dickerson now aaya was perjury on his part.
Dickerson .swore that he had dined with Plant and Barbutti at the Klks' Club in Freeport on September IS, 1819, at which time Matthew J. O'Neill and William Hoffman, both self-OOnfessed dealers In stolen automobiles, and one of whom i.s already a convict, while the other is awaiting sentence, swore that Plant took lunch that day with Hoffman at Ellison's dock, Freeport. This testi¬ mony was for the purpose of showing that Plant waa very friendly ( with O'Neill and Hoffman, and that Plant knew of their crintinal actions regard¬ ing stolen cars, and In fact was ac¬ cepting money from thcra to keep quiet.
Dfbkerson was the disinterested wit¬ ness that was needed by Plant to bol¬ ster up his case as regards to the lunch¬ eon Incident. Barbutti, who swore the same as Dickerson, was th* corrdboiw* tlon, and Plant himself swore that he did not dine with Hoffman, the dealer- in .stolen automobiles on the day that Hoffman had said he did, or in fact, at any other time.
At the second trial of Plant, Dicker¬ .son was not to be found, although the men of District Attorney Charles R. Weeks' force had him "shadowed" and could have produced him.
After Dickerson's testimony at the flrst trial. District Attorney Weeks was not satisfled that he was telling the truth, and he started a little private in¬ vestigation to determine the kind of man the witness might be.
Just what was uncovered, the District Attorney refuses to state, but last Sat¬ urday Dickerson heard he was being in¬ vestigated, and his conscience made a coward of him.   He again sought cover.
^bout that tlmo Assistant District Attorney K. N. Edwards heard things tbat causeO him to act promptly. He went to Lynbrook, borrowed a roan's house as the place to which he could bring bis man, and then sent for Dick¬ erson.
Confronted with the affllstant district attorney, Dickerson's nerve wavered. He was left to think over a cliance to make a confession that he had per¬ jured himself and flnally, on the advice of a good friend, he did admit that he had lied In his testimony at the flnit Plant trial.
With this statement Assistant District Attorney Bkiwards took Dickerson la his car and dashed off for Port Washington, the home of District AMgfbmy Weeks. There, in a confession thkt lasted many tiours, and which was not oa&oluded be¬ fore S o'clock Sunday momlpg. Dicker- son told how he had Jerjyred himself on tbe trial of Plant and signed the confession without promise of Im¬ munity.
The confession was the beginoiog of tbe eollapse of tha eaaes of Iwth Plant mtki Aubrey PetUt, who baa also pleaded fuiUy to criminally raeatvtaf ttUAva au¬ tomobiles.

Rockville Centre, May 13.—Friday the thirteenth was an unlucky day for Ijarry Waterman, chief of the Rockville Centre Flre Department. He had been expected a visit from "Bill" Powers, chief of the Hemp.stead Fire Depart¬ ment, since I.Arry and his "body guard" slipped over to Hempstead two weeks ago and timed the efflclency of that de¬ partment, l^rry went to Hempstead last night to visit Chief Powers.
"Is Mr. Powers at home?" asked Chief Waterman, in a way that Indi¬ cated ho was not In a hurry.
"Wliy, he's gone to Rockville Con¬ tre,"  was tho  reply.
"I''ardon mo; I must hurry right back." he .said, as ho (Uishod for his Hud.son Six.
"We'll have to step on It, 'Rife.' Thoy are in Rockville Contre," panted Larry, as he tumbled into the car.
On Hempstead avenue, I.4irry obsorvod a cloud of smoke in the distance and tried lo catch the car that wa.s making it, but Chief Powers boat him out.
Chief Powers stopped at Kiitit Assist¬ ant Ray Wood's house, and thoy wont to Merrick road and Ocoan avonu*-. Tho alarm was sont In at 7.H2.
The   Excitement   Begins
In three minutes and forty-flvo sec¬ onds the Live Oak Engine Company, driven by Sam Ellis, was on tho scone, the Alerts had laid a lino of hose and a stream was flowing. This comp,iros with six minutes, the time made by Hempstead. The Eureka Hook and Ladder Company rolled to tho spot next, j followed by the Reliance. Tho l)oron<l- ors, through a misunderstanding, went to Hendrlck.son avenue and .'Shellbank place, but returned before the Wood¬ lands got there. The chief's car did not   respond.
]g/MJe the flrst apparatus made the trip in three and three-quarters min- utak after the flrst sound of nine counts, the last apparatus did not ar¬ rive imtil twelve minutes after. This compares with Henip-stead's time of four minutes for the whole deportment. In the Hempstead's test the chief's car and one hpse company was at the sta¬ tion in two minutes, the whole depart¬ ment In four minutes, and a stream wns flowiniFjM six minutes. They al.so had a flfO'-ttot ladder up and firemen on the root-ia eight minutes.
There Is a. striking difference in the alarm systems. Jn Hempstead, four seconds after the box was pulled the whistle blew, whHe here the time that elapsed was four and a half miautes, according to a timer.
Kockville Centre Has a Handicap
Ex-Chief T. A. Berg of Hempstead, commenting on the lapse of time in getting to the .station, .said that one of the greatest handicaps of the firemen yfam the automobiles which raced to the statFon and impeded the progress of the apparatus. It .seemed remark¬ able, he said, that the trucks got through without accident. One driver, he noticed, swerved from side to side, picked his way among the automobiles,
Automohilist.s who paid no attention to the siren were responsible for the i deiay of the Woodlands. An automobile j rolled leisurely along Lincoln avenue, j near Village avenue, with the Wood- j lands coming behind .sounding the siren, j It turned Into Village avenue and dis¬ appeared. Again, at the railroad cross¬ ing, the Woodlands were compelled to slow up because of automobiUs, as they neared the railroad crossing.
Defenders HhouM Have Been First
Bhc-Chief Curley drove the Defenders, "^hey made remarkable time, when It Is considered that through a misunder¬ standing, the apparatus went to Hen¬ drickson   avenue  and   Shellbank   place.
Freeport, May 14.—Miss Ruth Raph aei of 21 Harold avenue, Oceanside snapped a lamp post off. Friday morn¬ ing while turning tbe oornffr at .Main street and Merrick road.

BDSOPERATION UNDERCONTROL BYMFIRSr
Action of Freeport Board of Tres- tees Makes Francluses Necessa« ry In Practically AH Village*— Franchises Mnst Be Obtained— Eliminates Unfair Competition With Trolleys
Freeport. May 14.—Fr.vport Board of Trustees, by ado)>ting a ivsolutlon placing the automobile omnlbus«>s un- dei- the railroad trans|iortatlon lows, hns complete<l tho circle which will eliminate the unfair t>omjx>t'itl<)n ot buses and trolleys and give the trolley company n fair chance. The act be- i-omes effective June  1.
Hempstead. Mineola and Onrden City have alrenify adopted section 20 of the TransiKJrtntlon law. The bus operators will now havo to obtain franchises and will thus como under the control of tho Vlllagf Itoards and the Public Service Commission. , This makes the vi<'tory comi)iote for tho Dally Ueview which has long been aKi- tating the need of some control of the bus  lines.
The Trolley was represented 'iy Counselor Peacock and "Poi)" Mitchell, well known ti> the riding public". In the disfiiwsion there were n few lively moments wheii .S. J. Dunloavy of Bay- view avenue ejcchanged words with .Mr. Peacoc'k over the fact that appar¬ ently the trolley com|>any was asking a whole lot from the villages and not promlsInK an.vtliing  in  return.
Trustee Johnson spoke in favor of f^- tablishinK ii llfti'i'n minute schedlilo liy hiivlMK the buses run between the trolley's schedule inste:i<l of at the .samo time.
The consensus was tliat people wanted flfteon minute service and th.it they were in favor of eliminating tho buses whose competition was unfair, but the trolley si-rvlee should meet tho dem.'inrt.'
Tho trolley Co. estimated that loss from the buses now was nliout $100 a day or $36,000 a yoar, and the public demands some return trom the trolley company for their gift of $U«,000 a yoar, was tho opinion of Mr. Diinleavy. Much DiscusHiiui Knsues Trustee Mnx.son tiled to make a mo¬ tion several times thnt tho buses Iw l>laced under section 26 of tho transpor¬ tation law, but was interrupted by fresh (llscu.ssions. He finally suc<-e(sled, nnd Trustee Johnson went on record as not being  in  favor of tli(> schenio.
He suggested that Freeport .stand pat and see how the present schemo worked out, because the «limination of the buses would put Freeporl at the mercy of   tho   trolley   altogether.
The bus mntter was laid by for a titne, and takeu up again Inter In tho evening.
