The third degree, a police method of extracting damaging admissions from persons accused or suspected Of crime. has been made a felony in Col- orado. H. B. Kelly of Denver, the author of the law declares it "con-
 fessedly unlawful under the Const1tu- t;on and laws of the United States and
 of every State in the Union" This ..third.degree'' practice is an importa- tion from France. In reality, how
 ever. 1t is a relic of the barbarism of centuries agone. It is wholly incon- sistent with the legal principle that no man need incriminate himself, and
 should be abolished, as it has been in Colorado. In fact, the courts are already beginning to look with disfa- vor, and even with discredit, upon ad- missions and confessions alleged to l have been made by accused persons under the rigors of the third degree"

INTERRUPTED BY ARREST.

During the performance in a Market
street theatre last night Justice of the
Peace Joseph Vicerizi and Constable
Frank Riccio, of the Silver Lake section

When Riccio attempted to serve the
warrant Giordano resisted and the two
clinched. Giordano tried TO throw Ric-

Ryan went to Riccio's assistance and
Glordano was overcome. He was taken
TO Silver Lake and arraigned before
Justice Vicariza, who held him in $500
bail for the grand Jury.

IRVINGTON COP BEATEN
UP AFTER HASENPFEFFER
Patrolman Meyer Is Treated
Roughly in Saloon Row.

Christian Ulrich, of Il Speedway ave-
nue., I~ryington, a carpenter, 81 years of
age. and James McKenna, of S06 Fiji
teenth avenue, Newark, a leather
worker, II years old, We're arrested to-
day by Policemen Coleman and Schultz
on warrants issued by Recorder w
Eugene Turton, of %Irvington, the first
named being charged with assault and
battery and the other with disorderly
conduct. Ulrich was released on $500
bail and McKenna on $50 bail, both TO
appear for hearing in the I~rvington Po-
lice Court on Friday night.
The complainant in the case is Police
man Louis Meyer, of 407 Grove street,
Irvington. He attended a h~assenpfeffer
given Saturday night at John j. Bon
scher's Hotel. on Speedway avenue.
After leaving the hotel, about II o'clock,
and before going to his home, he stopped
at Krauss's cafe, at 6S Speedway ave-
nue.. As soon as he entered, Eugene
Meeker, of 525 Union avenue, who was
1T the ba", exclaimed:
Here comes the man who arrested
my son!"
Never took no notice of Meeker be-
yond saying that he had merely made
the arrest at the command of the chief
and had no desire to discuss the matter.
Having approached the bar in the
meantime, Meyer ordered a glass OF
beer. and, recognizing Mckenna. who
stood next to him, invited him to join,
McKenna, it is alleged. abruptly re-
fused the invitation and became very
abusive in his language, unfolding
Meeker in his accusation.
Ulrich, who had been standing near,
approached Meyer, and, while the latter
was demonstrating with McKenna and
asking him to desist in the use of vile
epithets, Ulrich swung a terrific blow,
which caught Meyer just above his left
eye and hurled him to the ground.
After further rough usage, Meyer re-
gained his feet and telephoned to the
1rvington police station. Several Off
GERS arrived and when it was seen that
Meyer was suffering from a severe
wound he was taken to the City Hos
pital by Policeman Schultz. After hav-
ing the wound dressed Meyer went
home.

TAX COLLECTOR
OF NUTLEY FACES
THREE CHARGES
Patrick McGrath Accused of De.
sertion by Wife and EN-
bezzlement by Town.

When Patrick McGrath, former
deputy tax collector of Nutley. ap-
peared under police escort today before
Judge Joseph 3. i 1ay in the Orange
Police Court to face charges on two
serious counts, Police Chief H. ~.
Booth, of Nutley. was an interested
spectator, having in his pocket a war
rant for the prisoner for embezzling
the funds of Nutley. *
McGrath was remanded under $500
bail for deserving his wife and four
children in May last; in 5000 bail for
threatening his wife. Mrs. Bridget Nc
Grath, with a revolver last spring, and
he will be compelled to give a bond for
$1,000 for grand jury action on the
charge of purloining tax funds from
Nutley. totaling more than 500. -
McGrath was arrested by Roundsman
Brown and Policeman Graham at sc
New street, Orange, where his wife
now lives. His family had re-
sided at 212 High street, Orange, and
last Spring McGrath went to Nutley,
seeking a position. Fol three months
he did well n his collections of $500

netted him 20 per cent.
One Tuesday evening McGrath was

quarters and turn in his collections.
Chief Booth notified chief Washer, OF
the Orange police, of it and the war
rant for deserving his family was
issued. McGrath did not-show up, how
ever, and following en- investigation Of

RAIN STALLS OFF
POSSIBLE ORANGE
WATER FAMINE
Situation Critical at Reservoirs
When Storm BrOke-Oficials
Tardily Move for Relief.

Whatever may have bee the feel
ings of a great majority of Orange folk
today when they studied the unpleasant
weather conditions, there was a secret
jov in the hearts of the officials of the
city as a result of the precipitation of
moisture. The city watershed aoso-
lutely needs all the wet assistance pos
sible to tide over the winter season.
Never before in their history have
the eity's twin reservoirs n %hiillburn
and West Orange been reduced TO their
present levels, and yesterday afternoon
curious citizens had the nusua priv
ilege of walking on the bed of the upper
reservoir. the water having dropped UNI
til scarcely an acre of the big field,
which is usually flooded at this season
of the year, was covered.
Campbell's pond was very dry. and
but for the stream in the centre. which
has more thar ono upheld the abiding
faith of the water committee in its
eternal powers, there was scarcely any
water. The downfall of snow early to-
day changed to rain and the %rejuvena-
tion of the water supply is anticipated
in consequence.
As a result of the reduction in the
volume of water the extra steamer has
been called into service in the fire de-
partment and was last night used with
the apparatus that extinguished the
fire at the house of Peter Robinson, a
negro, at ITO South street. Orange.
Many complaints of lack of service
were made to the water department on
Saturday and a damaged gate at the
reservoir yesterday caused some con-
cern until it was repaired.
The matter of repairing a leaky dam
that causes much waste from Camp
bsil's Pond is again agitating the water
officials. 1t is the general opinion that
either the present dam must be re-
paired or a new one built below the
present affair.

planned that "for business reasons" he
could not divulge the. names of his
negro customers. The police are in
