The furnishing and decorating OF
this house cost three million more.
Last week multi-millionaire who
had built a $3,000,00O house on
Fifth avenue. took it into his head
that he didn't care to live in it, and
telegraphed home from Europe that it
was to be put on the market. Probably
he will not lose more than half mill
lion in the transaction.
Yet 1t is not the high price of private
residences that is most amazing in
New York. The really astonishing fact
is that rents soar into regions once
thought to be fantastic. People used
to stare when they heard that some
body paid $4,000 year for single
floor in house. Just now they are
staring at the announcement that Miss
Faith Moore, very rich milIionairess,
is to pay $4,000 year for her fiat in
palatial apartment house at Fifth
avenue and Sixty-sixth street. Miss
Moore's apartment is not especially
gorgeous, either, not by any means
what the Imagination might conjure
on hearing the figures. There are Is
rooms-which makes the rent just a
81 900 room. OF these, four are bath
rooms, and Miss Moore is having one
of these mace over into sort of bou'
doir opening off a bedroom. II re

a similar and not less stinging man
date concerning the action of the police
department in the matter of Sunday
baseball The gist of the Justices casti-
cation is that the police have undertaken
to be a law unto themselves, have made
arrests and committed intrusions where
no complaints have been made; have
undertaken to be complainant, judge and
Jury all in one; have wrecked houses
looking for evidence instead OF finding
the evidence first. Justice Gaynor has
an old-fashioned notion that person
must be detected in offense or accused
of an offense, specifically and circum-
stantially. before the police may employ
past few years "police lawlessness." /"
The policeman is not to be a Judge and
executioneF. He is not to be guardian
of morals but of laws. The state has
put it's ideas of morals into laws, and it
is with these laws and not with their
own ideas of morals that the police are
to be concerned.
Meanwhile a strikingly long list of
New York "cops" have been taken into
the hero list. At the record-breaking
Slocum steamship disaster policemen
did some superb things. They are doing
the same sort of thing every day. So
that suppose a good philosopher
would decide that, after all, New York
policemen are pretty much like other
folks, with good and bad we'll mixed
goodness with opportunity and badness
with opportunity.

thusiasts at the Palace alleys last night to
witness the games between the Commits

son. The latter needed all three games
scheduled to beat the Bureau team out for

as the Commissioners were out of the going,
being in fourth place. Under the circum-
stances the Interiors had big handicap

occasion, the Commissioners winning all
three games by big scores. Both teams
started off WELL but when it was seen that
the Interiors were doomed the friends of
the Bureaus present cheered to the echo.
