Mineola, May l8.~-flea Cliff stand* In the unique position of having Its whole village governing body resign and yet those same officials must continue to lice that the village Is still functioning.
And it Is all on a question of vera¬ city. One fellow soys that certain road work will cost 21 cents a square foot and another says it will cost 42 cents and there you are.
The fact remains. Village President Walter T. T>lckle and Village Trustees Frederick Judd and Charles Warmsor have quit their Jobs for the puprose of having the village vote for them again Just to show that they are sup¬ ported by public sentHttent and have the confidence of  the  people.
Testerday the tillage voted on a proposition to bond the village for tM.- 000 to repair roads that have long been falling Into a sad state of repair and it was this special election that brought about the resignation of alt the village fathep«i.
At a meeting of the village board on Monday night which was largely attended by tho eitiaeltis there was talk about the prices for road work that President Dickie hud and those that were secured by John D. Co» grove,  a civil engineer.
When things warmed up a bit Max noscTiwall. a cltlsen, suggested that since the village board did not have the confldenre of the peopU that the mem- berf all resign and go beforo. the peo

Freeport, May It.—Among the many fire department matters before the Fire Council, one of the most unusual was the expulsion of Oeorge Glssei of Patrol 1. It was considered that a letter he had written to the council called tor explanation. He was asked to appear before the council, but Ignored the sum¬ mons.
The council voted unanimously In fa¬ vor of expelling Ulssel.
A still alarm flre interrupted the meet¬ ing when a burning hay stack on liay- view avenue needed attention. Track t was sent to put out the Maze.
The matter of the uniform for the basketball team was brought up. It ai>- pears that the members of the team to whom uniforms had been loaned by the department .failed to return them.
The players who served through the season received gold basketballs, pre¬ sented by the department.
CanvoM of the votes of the several companies as to having the N. Y. State Firemen's convention In Freeport h« 1922 showed sentiment against the plan. Truck 1 and Hose 2 were In favgr; Hose 1, Engine 1, Hose 4 and Patrol 1 voted It down.   Hose 3 did not vote.
It was decided to appoint a committee to look into the question «^ having a carnival in Freeport. The committee appointed was C. B. Williams, Chi^rjes Fritz, Jack MaueMberger and H. 8. Pearsall.
Various companies aslfed for dates ppy which they might holif block dances. Hose 4 wants the flrst three Saturdays in July, Hose 2 the last Saturday in June, Hose 3 July Fourth, and the Fire Department will All In the other dates. Complaint of Captain Tuttte, concern¬ ing damage to his hedge at the corner of Ocean and Atlantic ttvenuea was re¬ ceived.

There is no question but that the roads need repairs, sold a Sea Cliff resident, and there Is no doubt but what the only way It can be done Is to provide a bond Issue. The whole cost, It is pointed out is but )1<,000 and that sum, in view of the fact thht there are no outstanding bonds except school bonds, would not change the tax rate so it could be notified.
The rate there, Including the school tux Is about S.70 on the $1,000.

The companies put in requisitions for supplies and repairs needed.
Patrol 1 agreed to flx its apparatus, providing the council would pay for the parts necessary, the work to be done free of charge by the company members. The apparatus Is out of commission, and Captain Mohr is anxious to have it ready for use.

Attention was called to the fMt that the department is in possession of sev¬ eral badges that have never been called for by members who are entitled to them, and twenty-flve new badges were ordered ^purchased to meet the demand.

Mineola, May 18.—County Judg« Lewis J. Smith of Hempstead yester¬ day gave an interesting talk bMore the women of the Home Bureau Club at Hicksville. His topic waj( "Should Women Serve on Jury" ond at the conclusion of his remarks, While -.fudge Smith did not tell them In so many words that they should ofA, most of the women concluded that I* was a duty they did not care to perform not be¬ cause they wanted to shirk their re¬ sponsibility but because they felt that the nature of the duties imposed upon a Juror were such that It might better be done by the men as it is now.
Judge Smith did not tell them that women should not serve on Jury, but he told them what the duties were und let them decide for themselves.
He outlined how a Juror was drawn for duty, how they qualified, and he called attention to what a Juror might ex^eot if he or she made up of one of twelve of a mixed Jury, In other w<itfds, where men and women both mi^ht be serving. He called attention to tho difficulties that might arise in an all night session or late night ses¬ sion when men and women Jurors were locked  up together.
He also pointed out that many of the criminal charges were In them¬ selves so revolting that not Infrequent¬ ly men did not want to sit in judg¬ ment.    He also pointed out  that even

He said there was no need in the administration of Justice to call on this extra class, the female citizens, to perform this serious duty. He said that Jury service was not In the feature of a privilege or pleasure but was a very serious dut](, certainly, iacpom- plished by  hardship and sacrifice.
Some of the ladles seem to think that they might be able to pick the kind of Jury service and the kind cif cases on which they might serve as Juror, but Judge Smith pointed out to them that, this oould hardly be done and give an impartial Jury list.

HEMPSTEAD VILUGE BOARD PUNS TO IMPROVE
OLD BURYING GROUND
Hempstead, May 28.—Thr Villajfo Board last night discustwd plans for cleaning and improviOK the old ceme¬ tery at the ea.st ond of Kulton Park. The matter wa.s finally referre<l to the vlllapc attorney, who i.s to i-epoit as to the authority the board cnn exoi'clKp over the old burying ground.
The matter was brought up by Tru.s¬ tee Chamberlin, to whom, hh chairman of the I'ark,ConimlttPP. had been refer¬ red the matter of havlnR- tho fence re¬ paired. Dr. Chamberlin .staled that the repair of the fence would co.st about $2.")0, and thnt in a couple of year.s il would have to be done over again. He advocated the removal of the fence and gradins: the cemetery, strqlshtenlns: up the headstones and placing it in pre¬ sentable condition, which would co.st about (500.
The   two  burying   grounds,   one    at
eyesores to the village, but n.s they are privately owned, the villaRe ha.s no au¬ thority to spend money upon them, if anyone wants to be technical. On the other hand, no one has power to do away with the plots an burying grounds without the consent of the heirs of the lot ownei-K, and to find them is very difficult, if not impossible.

Sergeant Adam Tulch was patrolling near the railroad sfathM and discovered a mail bag lying on the platform half open, with mail strewn all around It. <'<
The mall train comes through a little after *, and the bag was discovered at f.l 9. There were laany registered let¬ ters and packace* In ttae bag.
Sergeant Yuleh netttwl the poet olBce and guarded the ttag until sonHone ar rived. It ia aiwniwrrt' that the bag struck sofflatblns when it was tossed oft tbe train bad burst open.
1. O'.N'eill and William Hoffman, all of whom ar»- implicated in the scllInK of stfUen automobiles in Nassau County.
The punishment for bribery is not more than ten yours in priH.jn or not more  than  a  fine of |5,00(i  or lK)in.
It was O'.Velll who first told th* story ol' Harvoy'.s part in what O'Neill churucterized "protoction " for himsol'' liofriiiaii and Salerno. Me char>.'ed that he paid f^iii a week for ill s "ftn; tection" and for this sum ho wns sup- jioBod to Ih- permitted to continue hia <riminal   ))usiness  unmcie,.ici'.
But this Ih not the hlo y ihut brings out hrHieiy chui'go. This speoitic bribery charge, it is said, rose out oi. the arrest of O'.Velll by Plant in So; • ienih<r, of 191!l. At tha' i.-ne «>'i\tt:i was arrested for haviiiK stolon automo-' biles in his poSHoHsion. lie Hppeanid before Police Justice Flint in Kreepc.rt, but jH'ior to that time he swears he nr- ranged with Mai vey to have tiic latter "see" ("jrinan Plant no that tilt Free-' port charse would l)e quashed. It is- suld that this involves the jmynent ot $L'(H». which wont to Plant.
O'Neill swears that when t.Q sow Plant ll'. the triai in Frfc,<»rt that hc askod "lant if Sherht Harvi:-- hud steii him ulxjut O'Neill, and Plant suld "yes, it  is all right."
District Attorney Charies R. W(«>ks la today continuing his inquiry in the au¬ tomobile traflic, as told by O'Neill and Hoffman. Both of these men have been before him again, and Plant and I'ettlt will also talk to him again today.
Justice Cropsey is expected to inter¬ view Plant and I'ettlt in person. The district attorney will give l)oth men nn opportunity to go before Justice Crop, sey, where they will have the chance to tell him anything they have omitted to tell the prosecutor, or anything they nuy not want to tell the prosecutor for any reason. «
For the aid they are giving the state in the arrest and prosecution of others, all of the four principals In tbc case so far expect, of course, to secure lealency In return. In other words, they hope to lessen the punishment they know must fall to them.
