PETRO CHANGED HIS NAME
Jury Gives Him $40 Because
Loori Slandered the Re-
formed Man.

A jury in the First District Court yes
terday afternoon awarded Thomas M.
Petero $40 damages in his suit for SLAM
der against Antonio Loori. He alleged
that the defendant referred to him in
such mplimentary terms as thief"
and .srobber"
Loori attempted to justify this siander
by saying that Petro served time in Jail
for larceny. Records were produced
showing that one Mastroppro had been
sent to jail for this offence.
Petro admitted that he had dropped
the Mastro from his name and was now
known as Thomas NJ. Petro.

GEORGE |. RECORD SMILES

Walter McDermott, representing his
father, Congressman Allan l.. MeDef-
mott, and Corporation Council George Y.
Record, in accordance with an order to
show cause why writ of certiorarl
should not be issued to test the validity
of the Single Headed Street and Wafer
Board Act, made returnable at Trenton
today, appeared before Justice Dixon in
the Supreme Court. 1t was understood
that an early date would be set by the
Court for argument
Justice Dixon, however, refused to set
an early date, saying that it would be im-
possible to do SO.
Mr.. McDermott said he understood
that an early date was to be set to near
both sides.
Although Mr.. Record went along he
didn't appear very anxious to have the
Court set an early date for argument. On
the contrary he smiled in a sort of salts
fed way when the court refused to es-
tertain Mr.. McDermott's application.
Congressman McDermott was not at
his office when reporter IQT Ne Ne
News" called at one O'Clock today. His
son said:-"The action of the Court in
refusing to fix an early date for argu-
ment surprised me. I Ithonght everything
was agreeable to all parties concerned. :

MEAN ATTACK ON FOLEY

On September II general shake-up
of sergeants and roundsmen was made
by Chief Murphy at the request of the
Police Board. At the time no explana-
ton was given further than the stereo-
typed phrase, "For the good of the de-
partment.'' Considerable speculation
, followed.
At last nights meeting of the Board
facts developed which indicated that the
shake-up mentioned was badly needed.
Eight patrolmen were tried for failing
to pull their signal boxes at various times
ON various dates. Every man was found
guilty and fined.
S VERY QUEER.
When imposing sentence President Til
den made the following address:-'1t is
a remarkable circumstances and one
which appears almost unfathomable to
this Board that Immediately after the re-
cent transfer of sergeants and rounds
men the Board should be called upon to
try such an avalanche of men for failure
to pub their signal boxes. The next time
you will not get off so easily"
This speech caused surprise among the
spectators The majority of those pres
ent concluded that President Tilden's re-
marks were general attack on the in
tcgrity and proper performance Of duty
of every sergeant and roundsman in the
department. 1t was practical accu-
sation that previous to the shake-up the
raen on duty at the desk would not re-
port to the Chief, so that charges conld
be preferred, officers who failed to pull
a box.
During the trials Commissioner
Mitchell seemed to be with the men and
tried to help them in their endeavors to
60 free. a number of the men pleaded
that the boxes were out of order, but tes-
timony given by Superintendent of Tele-
graph Foley and the sergeants who re-
ported the men showed conclusiyely that
such was not the case.
AFTER FOLEY'S SCALP.
Commissioner Mitchell disagreed with
Superintendent Foley ON several points,
causing muny to Icinark that the Ctln-
missioner was out for Foley's scalp and
trying to show that he had not done his
work properly in inspecting the sisnal
boxes. s's's
The Commissioner, if he had such in
tentioas was entirely unsuccessful, us Fo-
