weapons that they carry. No Folce AID IN
stopping the robbereS or in appTehendIng the
robbers is furnished, and experience dictates
that the policeman should be left in ignorance
so far as the witness of assaults Is concerned
One probable reason why the police are so
negligent in making arrests is that theSe crimes
are committed between II o'clock midnight ana
O'Clock in the morning. An arrest means that
the patrolman making it must appear IN court
in the morning and press the charge. THIS en-

tend the meeting Preparations had been made
on a large scale 10 get big audience for the
candidate. but the programme did not hitch
with Mr. Shepard's plans, which included two
other meetings in the Eastern District of
Brooklyn.
Early In the evening the Democratic leaders
in Queens began 10 muster their forces with the
aid OF brass bands and torchlight parades in
tending 10 get an enormous crowd to the pavilion
in Schutzen Park Mr.. Shepard went to the
pavilion soon after s p. N. and found the place
only half fun OF men, but he went ahead and
delivered his speech. AS he left the place he
met the advance guards Of the Democratic reg
ulars, and for half hour longer there was a
tumult OF bands and bombs, while the cry
Where is Shepard?" and expressions Of disap-
pontment Were heard on every side.
In his speech Mr. Shepard declared that the
bridge planned to cross Blackwell's Island and
connect the boroughs Of Manhattan and Queens
"a far seeing and far doing programme on
the part of the Democratic party" Then he
proceeded TO make promise with string tied

the string, applauded vigorously. He said:
In addition TO these bridges, distant day, the
Borough OF Queens must be connected with the
rapid transit system of the Borough OF Manhattan

IS coming; and TO that scheme, most legitimate OF
