POLICE SIDE LIGHTS SEEN.
Slim 4udience bat Big Profit at
Sugden Benefit.

Students of police affairs who attended the
benefit performance given last night at the
Grand Central Palace to Edward d. Sugden. for
merly detective sergeant. might have observed
many side lights on the innermost life of the
Outermost department under control of Mayor
Mcclellan. For instance. the benefit performance
was pronounced most profound success The
hall was less than one-third full. There were
not enough people there to pay the rent OF the
Grand Central Palace and the expenses of the
artists" who appeared under the direction Of
Hurtig Sc Seamon.
Although it was q benefit for a former police
officer, there were no squads of bluecoats at the
door. and prospectice purchasers OF tickets did
not have the pleasure of walking through long
uniformed lines is usual when the East Side
decides to honor a uniformed member Of the
force. The spirit of McAdoo lowered about tina
Grand Central Palace last night. A few weeks
ago the Commissioner dismissed the detective
sergeant Of last nights benefit. In fact. the dis
missal was responsible for the benefit The pa
trolmen posts called the saloonkeepers
and others who are supposed to stand in with
the law and sold" them tickets. In conse-
quence the benefit was q great success, although
many buyers of tickets stayed away
Sugden should profit, according to various
estimates from s.. 900 to $1,000. 1t is of this
that students Of the Police Department should
take notice.
went to the press room and declared that as
he was not in uniform he was not officially
present. In that statement he struck the note
of the Sugden benefit. No officially
present Several detective sergeants, with
badges carefully concealed, drifted in during
the evening
Too much credit cannot be given to the pro-
fessionals who furnished the entertainment
Miss Ray Cox, with Southern dialect, made
the hit of the evening when she fined the
chestra So for laughing at of her jokes.
The fine paid the spot, and goes to
remind SUgden that If he has the luck OF
Devery, for whom he was transfer agent" he
may find himself back on the force before many
moons
The question Of the evening was: when will
Eddie Sugden bluff his way back on the police
force with the help Of the courts?' The answer
cared TO give.
