was something radically wrong In our system

from progressing with the rapidly with which
we should.

POLICE CAN'T INTERFERE.
Corporation Couuse scott's Opinion as
the Proposed Military Parade on sunday

Corporation Counsel SCOTS Opinion As to
the Proposed Military Parade on Sunday.
Corporation Counsel SCOTT sent an opinion
yesterday to Chief Conlin that tho police had no
right to Interfere with the proposed parade to
be held next Sunday, when tho regular troops
from Governors Island and several detach-
ments OF the National Guard march to receive
the soldiers OF Troop f OF the United States
army upon their arrival In this city. and to
escort them to tho Madison Square Garden.
Mr.. Scott holds that II Is a matter of clear in
ference that the Federal troops are proceeding
under order. and II they arc 1t 10 not within the
province OF the police TO Interfere. He says that
the object OF section l.04l OF the Penal Code
and section 27b OF the Consolidation act is to
prevent parades and professions on Sunday,
and not TO interfere with the movements OF
Federal troops marching under orders. Tho
Corporation Counsel also expresses u doubt as
terfering even with the state militia while pro-
ceeding under orders.

CHICAGO. Jan. SIT is believed here that
Frederick Bauman, the prisoner for forgery In
the county Jail at Louisville, who said yesterday
that he had helped to slug and rob Frank p.
Arbuckle OF Denver in New York. causing his
death, ON Nov. 10. and named Dave Edmunds.
an actor OF Chicago, as his accomplice, Is tho
son OF Joseph Bauman OF the firm Of II. BAumAn
d Co., pawnbrokers At l59 Clark street. This
son, according to n statement made by Mr.
Bnuman, has been diSowned by his family.
My son was in New York one year ago"
said Mr.. BaumAn, " and q short time ago he WAS
In Louisville. never heard of his being con-
nected with n theatrical company. Tho last |
knew of him he was selling typewriters. My
son went by tho name OF Norman Though"
There IL a theatrical manager in Chicago

Bauman that he graduated from Tony Pastor

crazy or lying"
Capt, O'Brien OF tho detective bureau In this
city believes that Bauman made this con fes-
sion" for u purpose probably to get his fare
paid back to New York. Tho principal reason
why he places no credence In the story IL be-
cause Arbuckle was not murdered.
