Mayor Bollschweiler's letter t.
Judge Booraem, giving his reasons
why he refused to carry out the plaI
to have all foreigners in saloons ant
dance halls searched for concealed
weapons Saturday night, has created
quite a sensation not only in thi'
section, but throughout the state
The mayors severe attack upon thu
idea and the plain language used II
expressing himself to the court Il
the cause of much comment, boil
favorable and otherwise.
Among the first to resent the in
ference in the mayors letter tha
brutal force was used in making the
examination was Detective Richard
A. Peltier, who was charged witt
carrying out the courts order
throughout the county. Peltier de
nies that he committed any lilega
act in carrying out the judges in
struction, as the mayor states. He
says that nowhere was man search
ed against his will, unless he gave
reason to suspect that he had con
cealed weapon upon his person
Where there is just ground for suspi
cion Peltier claims he has right tC
take man into custody.
How the Work Was Done.
In describing the work done Sat
urday night Peltier says that he was
accompanied by an interpreter. They
first went to Keasbey. There being
mo dance hall in operation they went
; to the saloons. In each case Peltiel
says he called the proprietor aside
and told him he had an order from
the court to examine persons for con
/ cealed weapons and he asked per
mission to explain the matter to the
men in the saloon. This was il
every case granted. The interpre
ter then explained the matter ant
the examination was made without
the slightest objection. The detec
tive merely felt of the outside of the
mems pockets and finding nothing
went to the next.
There were three arrests made by
Peltier and in each of these cases
the men who had the weapons tried
to dodge when the weapons were de.
tected in their pockets. The me1
were then forcibly searched and the
weapons were taken from them and
they were arrested.
Peltfer says there was no disorder
VI COuluSlOu. Inc matter was at
tended to in quiet manner. The
women, where they saw 1t, treated
the matter as joke and laughed al
the men.
The Courts Order.
The order which Peltier had from
the court was as follows:
Memorandum of instructions is
sued by the Prosecutor of Pleas of
Mfddlesex county, and approved by
the Judge of the Court of Quarter
Sessions, as to the method to be pur-
sued In detecting persons who are
carrying concealed weapons in the

of the large municipalities of this
county, that on Saturday evening
next, the 26th instant, between 10
and IL o'clock, the police and con-
stables, selected by the prosecutor
shall enter all drinking places and
dance halls, frequentoI by foreign

and examine all persons present for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
they are carrying concealed weapons,

PARR AFTER BARNES.

Jim Parr, the famous English heavy weight wrestler, is looking for han dicap match with Jim Barnes, and the chances are that he will get an afiirma- tive answer to his request. Parr offers to go into handicap match with the middleweight champion, whom he be- lieves he can pin twice in an hour, and asks for match in Springfield on February II.
 /Parr has of late been making his headquarters in Buffalo and leaves for Massachusetts for matches in Lowell and Boston. He says he is in fine fet- tie and believes he can accomplish the task of throwing Barnes twice in an hour, though he didn't meet success in his negotiations when he attempted to master Barnes in a handicap con- test few seasons ago.
 The English wrestler weights about 175 pound and came to the country after he had bested all the big men in England. He still holds the English championship belt, an elaborate silver affair valued at $500. He is remember ed as powerful and agile wrestler and he claims his stay in America has brought him knowledge in leg holds that makes him far more formidable than he formerly was. Until recently English wrestlers gave little attention to leg holds, working almost entirely with the arms, but Parr says he has had no trouble in mastering the Amerl- can style.

 When Jack Thoney, who cost the Boston Americans about $15,OOO, got a contract calling for only $2,5OO he sent it back. He alleges i'll health and bad arm, and says he won't play next season. A little more salary may make his health and arm good.
 Billy Page, the crack second base man of the Lawrence team of two years ago, and last season with Little Rock in the Southern league, will not play with that team this season, un- less he changes his plans. In fact he will not be in the league if he has his way. He would like to play in Lawrence again.
 Danzig of the New Bedford team is reported at New Bedford to be lost to the team, as he has hooked up with the Portlands of the far western league. Crook, new man, will be called in from the outfield and placed on first base. Manager Canavan will try to make an exchange with Valdois for some hard hitting outfielder in the southern league.

MGILvRAY PROTESTS.
Providence Manager Intends to Fight
 for Saturday Nights Game.

Manager McGilvray of the Grays has made a formal protest to Secre- tary Pyne of the National Polo league against the ruling of Referee Rorty in Saturday nights game at Infantry hall. Providence, by which the game was declared forfeited to New Haven.
 In taking exceptions to the ruling the Providence club has good reason to believe that the league will de- clare the game credited to the home team.
 At the New Haven meeting a week ago the league established a rule that the goal tends shin pads measure not over nine inches. Nal lory's pads were measured by Ref erees Doherty at Waterbury. Con- nell at Boston and Kilgara in Provi- dencc, and all three declared them legal and we'll within the limit
 Manager McGilvray in an inter- view said: Referee Rorty's ac- tions were anything but satisfactory, and had 1t not been for the blandish- rients of the New Haven players be- fore the game 1t is doubtful If there would have been any trouble. But Bones crew were out to win the game at any cost. and for an hour before dressing time they kept up a continual wrangle which so worked upon the mind Of Rorty that. as his on the floor afterward showed. left him in anything but a condition.
 Certainly his work was the worst ever seen on the Providence floor. his control over the players being lost from the time the game start ed.-
 Tn conclusion Manager McGilvray said that Mallory's pads Saturday night were the same as in the games in which the other referees declared them satisfactory and that no change will be made.

WERE LATE FOR TRAIN.
Experience of Waterbury Polo Fans Who Had to Run to Stanley Works.

New Britain, Feb. "A large num- Der of the two hundred Waterbury polo enthusiasts who accompanied the Brass City team to this city Sat- urday night, went out after the game to drown their sorrows in the bowl and took no heed of the flight of time. .
 The special was scheduled to start for Waterbury at, ,10:45 and it got under way on time. When the con- ductor started walking through the cars and saw the numerous empty seats he gave the signal for the en- gineer to stop the train. It was brought to halt at the Stanley works and several shrill blasts blown on the whistle. Tie belated excur- sionists arrived at the depot about that time and were notified of the wait made for them. The crowd went pell-mell up the track in the van of a horde of taunting small boys. The newcomers filled the train and it started underway again.
