 tifrI recital of Rodolfo from La Boheme broke upon the stilly night at Washington park at 1:30 yesterday morning. The efforts of the tenor soloist were reinforced from time to time by scattering baritone and bass hits supplied by his three compan- ions It was 8 musical treat, grand opera with the broad canopy of heaven for its stage setting, the gold en stars affording unriva1led ka1eides- copic effects, and the budding trees and shrubbery of the park contribut- ing an environment of natural beauty.
 The music was waited across the park to Noble and Barnum avenues, where stood two policemen, by name Thomas Began and William Da1lwig. Heaven had not blessed them with the appreciation of good music. They knew only that there was noise and this they described in very prosaic terms. Sounds like a riot, they hey park, heading off the quartet! Seal ing the park fence. they descended in the midst of the quartet.
 @eGo home! Cut it<out!' they com manded.
 The guitar player turned and in accents of mild surprise, he yentured to remonstrate that the policemen should interrupt until the selection had been concluded. In burst of ecstacy he thrummed his guitar and began to sing a martial air, thinking no doubt that the policemen would be inspired and would march away.
 But Dallwig Was l1 unmoveds and seized the musician roughly. Don't you think anybody around here wants to sleep? ?" he fnterrogated. as he Get off my beat!''
 The quartet was dumbfounded. This was an unheard of thing. Here was cred ia their best fashion, yet there lived two men who hadn't enough apprecfation of good music to enjoy it. Something must be done. They started for the Second precinct po- lice station to find out what could be done. their story, enough to caused him to summon the two policemen into the

 Thereupon the two policemen pre- ferred the charge of breach of the i peace against both men. They were ! them went to the door and called for | Frank D'Ambrosio, whose voice is | said to be of nectar sweetness. He is cobbIer of 6O2 East Main street. | He asked Frank to post the necessary cash for their release.
 AS he entered, the cops collared him. He's one of the gang" they and released when he had put up ball of $30 for the appearance of all three in court today. The fourth man had gone home before the visit to the police station was made.
 In the. city court today the trio was represented by Attorneys Shapiro and Cohn- Attorney Shapiro raised 1y as they testified, could not be mak- ing a racket such as the students do on Yale field. as the cops would have the court understand. He went so far as to leave the inference that the cops had arrested the men out of Is spite arising from the prisoners com blaming against the policemen.
 Judge Foster cut short the at tempted oratory of the counsel. Let's not waste any time about this mat ter" said he. He believed the police men had used good Judgment, he de- cIared, in allowing the men to depart for their homes even though there had been a slight breach of the peace. He said the court wasn't concerned with the question of whether the ar rests were made out of spite So he fined Free Laparelo $2 and costs, inn brosio, and imposed the heavier pen atty of $5 and costs upon Dominic
