STU PID ARRESTS" "

Mayor Gaynor has d clear case
against the police for making stupid
and unnecessary arrests. Arrests of
boys throwing a rubber bali in the
street. and for dancing Oh q building
pla form. and Of men for talking i'll 4
loud and boisterouS manner. and for
drinking beer out of 4 can. and for dis
putting with Il woman in q hallway
plainly fall in the class Of stupid and
unnecessary arrests. 1t would be inter
esting to know how large a proportion
Of the arrests made by the police are
for such trivial causes as these how
many persons arraigned before the
magistrates have to he discharged be-
cause they have committed no offences
and owe their arrest merely TO police
stupidity The Mayors experiences in
the night court suggest that there must
be an enormous number.
The needless annoyance Of citizens in
suhiecting them 10 the indignity of
rroundlesS arrest Is reason enough for
the Mayors indignation. But. more
over. to secure efficiency in the force
il is requisite that the officers should not
waste their time in haling prisoners TO
court unnecessarily. To make an ar
rest convey the prisoner TO the station
house. then to he court and wait for his
arraignment and discharge take the
l.atrolman off MS beat for TWO or three
hours When that three hours is a
sheer waste OF time that might be pre-
vented by the exercise Of ordinary com
mon sense 1t is to the interest OF those
tharged with the administration Of the
department to inStil q little sense into
The force.
Perhaps police commissioners have
not sufficiently informed themselves Of
what goes on in the magistrates courts.
TO understand what sort of work pa
.trolmcn are doing the department
should know exactly what sort of cases
they present against those whom they
arTaign. 1t should have the means to
inform itself when officers make stupid
ana needless arrests. and 1t should
discipline them when il seems neces-
sary 10 do SO /, stop the practice.
Now that the Mayor has called atten-
ton 10 what happened at the night
court some adequate system may be
adopted to keep the department fully
informed AS to the sort Of arrests pa
trolmen make and enable il TO hold its
men responsible for stupidity.

The fact that New York is for the time
being the greatest cotton port of the world
is attracting 4 lot of attention. But the
cotton here has all been bought by men
who are in need of it. and it is here under
circumstances which call for its prompt
handling and shipment At one shipping
point 10000 bales are awaiting stowage
room. But New York does not depend on
cotton to make it the greatest port of the

THE PRoTIycETOHN MEHoRfAL-


One of the most obvious and most per
I,tinent comments upon the commemora-
ton of yesterday at ProyincetoWn Is an
expression of wonder at its not having
been made long ago. Perhaps the eX-
PLANTATION may be found in the 1nclina-
ton which too widely prevails among
Americans to glory in present greatness
rather than TO celebrate the achieve
IRentS Of The past. When q Dewey
comes home frem Manila we welcome
him with mighty pomp. In a Hudson
Fulton celebration we pay attention to
the past but still more to the exptoita-
ton of present greatness But for the
making of memorials of the past which
are memorials and nothing more, with
nothing of current utilitarianism to
commend them to practical enterprise.
we are too prone 10 show Indifference

But it is well that Provincetown is at

It was appropriate that among the

chiefly from the seed which was i'm

HAS PLAN TO UTILIZE SEWAGE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For over forty years the writer has
studied the subject Of the utilization Of
town sewage, which has been matter cf
great public interest on several occasions.
Several causes are tending to diminish the
supply Of fertilizers The horse is being
suppIanted by the automobile. The supply
OF guano is greatly diminished, so that TO
persons having the future welfare OF the
country at heart the prospect is becoming
alarming.
In the use of sewage as q fertilizer the
great advantage would te the retention Of
the ammonia and other lenents required
in the growth Of farm truck In country
towns and villages in England the tenants
have an ash pit and sewage is mixed win
ashes making an excellent fertilizer. Now,
why should the ashes III this country be
considered waste material and either
dumped into the rivers or used In filling il
vacant lots, when by mixing them with tho
sewage q valuable fertilizer can be formed?
Why not convey the sewage by conduits
OF pipes TO the neighboring country? Tanks
or reservoirs several acres square with con-
crete block floors, laid in cement about fiyo
feet deep, should be constructed. with iro /
cutters surrounding them The sewage

After the ashes have become thoroughly
saturated the contents OF the tank could De

properties of the sewage would be retained
ard the ashes would make the soil lighter
and easier to till.
