Tend to Cases.
POSTS UNPROTECTED.

Now Only Has Five Men 10 do Duly
Names the Districts Which are UnprC-
tected by officers Compares Perth
Amboy's Force With Plainfeld.

Following the theft oil HVo D01ts
along tho water front Tuesday night,
Chief of Police Burko consented tc
All interview with IN Evening News
reporter regarding the police depart
inent in general. Since Patrolman
Schultz was hurt while chasing n
prisoner several weeks ago, tho force
has been less able to cope with the
existing conditions than formerly,
there being only five policemen to
cover the entire city. On chart in
Chief Burke's office. there are eight
posts marked out for night duty, and
three for day patrol. OF these eight
posts, bat Ave are now covered. Two
are left entirely without police pro-
lection, and the major part of another
is necessarily neglected, because Of
the lack of sufficient number OF
patrolmen.
With the appointment of the three
more men and the promotion OF an
ther to the rank of rCundsman.
these eight posts could be covered,
aud Chief Burke would be enabled to
put into operation at least.a a semblance
of a system.
"We cannot be expected to keep
anything like the proper order in tho
city," the chief said, because we
are without the facilities. What arc
five men to keep order in city of
this size at night? Some posts are
not only left entirely uncovered, but
the assigned beats cannot be properly
covered. 1t is; on an average, All hour
and half or two hours between tho
time patrolman passes certain
point OIL his beat, and the time he
again reaches that point. In that
time house might be carried away,
and the policeman be none the wis
A city of the number Of people this
city has should properly have twenty
or twenty five policemen. Look at
Plninfield and .Tottenville for instance.
Plainfeld has adequate protection,
and Tottenville has eighteenmon.
1--WE receive complaints here con-
tinually which we are absolutely un-
ablo to attend to. Why? Because we
have not enough men. All we can do
is to listen to tho complainst and
there the matter must end Should
things be that way?'
Chief Burke went to tho schedule
of posts and pointed out the terri
tories which are left without any
police protection whatever. Tho two
important beats entirely unguarded
are: 1st., Washington street. from
tho Pennsylvania railroad, to New
Brunswick avenue and 2nd., Front
and Fayette, to Rector, to Commerce,
to Front, to Washington, to High, to
Fayette and Front. In addition, State
street, from Washington street to-
Buckingham avenue, thickly-popu
lated section, is entirely unprotected.
"Tonight, said Chief Burke, "one
man will be off duty because Of ILL.,
ness That leaves just four mon to do
police duty. -

proceedings It's government passes
from the lama to a monk of the De.
bang monastery, who buys the right

talno and, receiving the homage of all,
exercises his authority by imposing
heavy fines for his own profit. His
men visit every home in Lassa to col.
lect heavy taxes and fines, so that all
the poorer people leave the city at the
New Year. From the country round
priests flock in for numerous religious
ceremonies, which eliminate in the
selection of a human scapegoat for
the sins of Lassa. The face of the
victim is painted half black and half

by the populace as a symbol of the
transference to him of the sins OF
the people he is hooted and mobbed
