WOULD CURTA|L
PATROL DUTIES
OF LOCAL POLICE
Commissioners Have Already
Acted on THE EVENING
STARS Suggestion.
EIGHT HOURS TOO LONG
FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE
Contemplated Change Will Give
Men But Six Hours on
Continuous Duty.

AT the suggestion made to the police
commissioners by THE EVENING
STAR the 500 police officers Of Newark
will be glad to learn that steps have
already been taken to give them a bet
ter and more reasonable tour of po-
lice duty.
Instead of doing eight hours con-
now being worked out is to give the
men who pound the streets day and
night but six hours of patrol duty.
This will be welcome news to the
members of the police department. 1t
is the concensus of opinion among men
who know police work hat there is
no possibility of any set of men doing
eight hours police duty as it should
be done.
Captain Carroll. of the detective
bureau, is outspoken on this subject.
To an EVENING STAR man Captain
Carroll said:
IT don't care who the man is, he
can't do police duty when he is COM
PEELED to do eight hours of it in a
stretch. Give the men something tina
they can do. and then there will be
fewer complaints, n you will not
hear of so many young n energetic
police officers being called upon at
every meeting of the Police Board to
answer charges of neglect. / have done
police duty and know what 1t is. Give
the men a tour OF duty they can do"
In police circles throughout the State
Newark is looked upon as having the
poorest system of police tours. Jersey
City n Paterson have model tours.
This matter was the subject of a dis
cussion at the meeting of the Police
Board and of the precinct captains yes
terday afternoon, and 1t was decided
that the police commission take up
the question of a new police tour and
visit Jersey City. Paterson, and even
outside cities to discover the best 'sys-
TENS.

FIRST BLOOD IN
WAR AGAINST
HANDBOOK MEN
NicholO ScramO and Joseph Bar
bierO Tricked by Clever
Sleuthing.

War against handbook men doing
business in the Second Precinct vas
begun in earnest today by Plainclothes-
men Early and Tartorello, who were as
signed to the work by Captain Brown.
Nicholo Scramo, 35 years old, of 80
Broad street, who is said to have a
tailor shop on Market street, and be-
lieved to be the banker, was picked up
on Broad street near the L-ackawanna
depot by the plainclothesmen at 1890,
and money which was marked by the
sleuths was found in his possession.
Less than an hour later Joseph Bar
biero, q years old, of SO Seventh ave-
nue., employed as an assistant barber
at IS Belleville avenue, was taken In
custody. He is alleged to be a runner
for Scramo.
The police managed to place bets on
Wednesday and Friday through the
prisoners with marked money. They
have spent two weeks on the case 1t
is alleged that Barbiero made a prac-
tise of taking bets in the barber shop
when his employer was out.
Both of the prisoners were placed in
cells, and will be arraigned before
Judge Herr in the Second Precinct
Police Court tomorrow morning.
In discussing the arrest of the two
men Captain Brown complimented his
plainclothesmen, and said that he felt
that if others were taking bets on the
races in his bailiwick 1t would teach
them a lesson and drive them else
where.

CITY MAKING PARKS

If the city councils and boards of

great possibilities lie in this work.
Henry S. Curtis, secretary of the Play
