 Owing to some hitch the complaint of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hoyt against Special Constable Woolf Levy was not decided at the meeting of the police commissioners held yesterday afternoon. It was learned. however, that the case was discussed.
 Officer John M. Fitzgerald, who was charged by Sergeant Doherty with con- duct unbecoming an officer, was reduc- ed from grade D to grade E. Sergeant Doherty stated to the board that on July 3 he saw Fitzgerald at the rear of "a saloon at 54 1-2 Oak street with a glass of beer in his hand. There was mo other witness against Officer Fitz- gerald. He appeared in his own behalf and admitted that he was holding the glass at the time charged, but that he did not drink from it and had refused three times when urged. Lawrence Eagan, who was in the place at the time, corroborated Officer Fitzgerald's testimony. The board, however, decid- ed that Fitzgerald was guilty of mis- conduct.
 The committee on efficiency recom- mended the following for promotions, and they were confirmed: Officer Fred erick M. Dooley, from grade c to grade B, in recognition of his brave act in saving three children from drowning on June 19; Officer J. c. Schmidt, from grade D to c, for meritorious conduct; Officer M. J Enright, from grade c to B, for discovering a burglar and recov- ering the booty, and Patrol Driver Frank Ryan, from grade E to grade D, under the rules.

George f. Slosson late last night had
not heard from either Hoppe or the stake

January %, so Hoppe has until tomorrow

less formally cover the forfeit money today

feated Slosson. he would take on jacob
Schaefer, who has expressed his desire TO
challenge hts former pupil.

a much harder proposition to beat than

experience in tournament play. George n.
Coombs well known amateur billiard
player. announced that he would wager $500

A Lively Campaign in Russia.

The prediction activity has reached an
acute stage says a st. Petersburg cable
gram, although the date of the convocation
of the national assembly and the date for
holding the elections are unknown. Candi-
dates of various parties are daily coming
into the open. and all factions In public
life are taking an active interest in the
campaign. The main center Of political ac-
tiyity at present is Moscow. where the six
moderate organizations. following the ex-
ample of St. Petersburg, have established q
political club. and are planning to publ
a paper under the editorship of Prince
Eugene Troubetskoy. The defeetions from
the ranks of the constitutional democrats
are now assuming the character of an open
split. with female suffrage and the auton-
omy of Poland as the two principal points
of difference Among the candidates at
MOSCOW are Prince Galitzin, NJ. Guchkof
and Dimitri Shipoff, representatives OF the
moderate faction. This faction con1smns
the putting forward of NJ. Kroushevan, edt-
tor of the notorious ew-baiting DreuS
(friend), and also the announced candidacy
of Father Gapon.

BOWLING SCORES LAST NIGHT

James r. Keene's Sysonby Is top weight,
131 pounds, in the Suburban and Brooklyn
handicaps. which Is somewhat contrary to
a generally expressed opinion that the Of
fetal allotment would be less in these races
than in the Brighton, the weights for which
were published one week ago.
For convenience the weights of all three
stakes are in parallel columns. 1t will be
seen that H. p. Whitneys three-year-old
filly Perverse is entered in only the Brigh-
ton, hence her owner evidently contem-
plates repetition with Perverse of the feat
accomplished by Artful. Perverse made
steady Improvement each time she started
last fall. and in midsummer any good three
year-old should be hard to beat.
The New Orleans horse, Phil Finch, which
has won with 1872 pounds UP, is in the
Brooklyn and Brighton Handicap on very
moderate terms horsemen about town
think.
That the Burns Handicap winner, DR..
Lego, ran in that race at least seven
pounds above his recent form is shown by
the fact that Mr.. Vosburgh. who gave him
Ill pounds in the Brighton, the handicap
having been made before his winning race,
has increased his allotment to lis since the
Burns Handicap. In other words, here is
direct tip that Dr. Leggo's races should

SPECIAL MATCH.
MUST WEAKEN DEFENSE
TO OPEN UP FOOT BALL.

PHILADELPHIA. February John C.
Bell, a member of the American tntercol-
legIate foot bali rules committee, believes
that there is still much work for the COM
mittee before the game will meet with the
approval of those who have seen the neces-
sity or demanded a general revision of the
rules. 1t is the aim of the rules committee
to open up the game and discourage mass
plays, but Mr.. Bell does not think that the
changes agreed on will accomplish the de-
sired result without some further modifica-
tions.
After carefully reviewing the proposed
changes he points out that the attack has
been weakened instead of strengthened
while the defense has not been appreciably
weakened, and suggests desirable legisIa-
ton. He says, in part:
1T seems TO me. after a close study of
the proposed amendments, that the attack
has not been materially strengthened On
the contrary, IL you balance the practical
elimination of the tackle back and guard
back plays and the elimination of hurdlings
in the line against the forward passing YOU
will come to the conclusion that on the
whole the attack has been quite materially
weakened and not strengthened. On the
other hand. the defense has certainly not
been appreciably weakened; on the whole
considering all of the amendments, | be-
lieve ii would be more difficult to make five
yards in three downs under the proposed
ules than under present rules; and bearing
n mind that a ten-yard advance is now re-
uired, 1t is clear that IL an open game is to
brought about the committee must still
ace end answer the question: How shall
he defense be further weakened?' I say
license further weakened because the above
nendn.ents weakening the attack are de-
rable.

ttee. either OF which. think, would have

Bill in Maryland Legislature fol
Washington-Baltim Highway.

From the Baltimore American.
Baltimore has long enjoyed excellent rail-
road connections with Washington, but the
turnpikes and country thoroughfares De-
tween the two great cities are by no means
what they should be. A notable improve
ment in this regard Is contemplated by
measure introduced in the Maryland legis-
lature by DIR. Richard s. Hill Of Prince
George, for the construction of fine high
way through Maryland to the borders of
the District of Columbia. Such a road, as
the bill states. would not only put the two
cities into closer communication than they
are now. but would greatly benefit Prince
George, Howard and Baltimore counties.
through which it would pass An excellent
feature of this bill is It's provision for the
employment of prisoners from the house
of correction upon the work. That institu-
ton is located on the line between the two
cities, and generally contains enough able
bodied men, who have done wrong to rem
der such employment thoroughly practcai.
The plan Is in line with the Americans sug-
session for making use of labor or tnls
kind for road building in all parts or the
state and here could be made an excellent
lest of it's value. The result would never
be in doubt. The grand juries or Baltimore
city and of Montgomery county have re-
Gently approved the Americans suggestion,
and, speaking from the standpoint of union
labor, Samuel GomperS, president OF the
American Federation, advocates the use OF
prison labor on public works. The bill
also provides for the money required, to be
allotted in three instalments.
Good progress is now being made on the
construction of trolley line between Balti-
more and Washington. This project had Its
birth a number of years ago, but after a
beginning was made the work was, 10 an
intents and purposes. abandoned though on
some sections the rails were laid and cars
run Now, In new hands and with plenty OF
capital back of It, the project Is being
pushed rapidly forward. and unless present
plans go awry trolley cars will soon be
making good speed between the TWO cities
ern electric line and with a well-constructed
public highway the connections of the
MARYLAND metropolis and the nations capt.
tal will be as perfect and complete as the
hand of man can make them. Such con-
nections would not only be of great value to
both cities. but would prove or vast pehellt
to all the country through which these
roads would run.
