Blackjack on Gang of
Young Ruffians.

James Mathews, an attendant in
the House of Detention, had to draw
his blackjack and twice fight his way
through a Down Neck gang last night
in taking boy prisoner from Market
and Van Buren streets to the county
Jail.
Mathews had received information
several days ago that Joseph Gam
mon, 16 years old, of III Polk street,
who escaped from the State Home for
Boys at Jamesburg in May, was in
this city The keeper knew the boy,
who had three times come into the
hands of the authorities on charges
of theft. and rlganSa search for him
in the lads old haunts.
Last night Mathews saw young
Cannon in the midst of a dozen
other youths most of them older
than he, at Market and Van Buren
ST eets, and put him under arrest.
Cannon tried to squirm out OF the
officers grasp, and his friends tried
to help his escape. Mathews was
seized from behind and blows were
aimed at him. Retaining his grasp
on Gammons collar, the keeper drew
his blackjack and welded II. few
blows took most of the bravado out
of Gammon's companions and they
ran away.
Mathews was leading his prisoner
IN Market street when he noticed
several members of the gang that had
attacked him sinking in the shadows
on the opposite side of the street
Anxious to postpone the meeting with
his prisoners friends as long as pos
sible. the officer reduced his pace
awaiting a car. When the car came
al Adams street he signaled the
motorman to stop and dragged Gam
mon to the tracks.
At the approach of the car Gam
mons friends got to the tracks before
Mathews and Cannon arrived. Then
they made another attack on the ofti-
Ger as he tried to push Cannon
through the car door. Mathews again
used his blackjack. With the aid of
the conductor of the car he again
drove back the youths and rode away.
Young Cannon, who was less than
16 when he was committed to James
burg. faces indictment by the grand
Jury for receiving stolen goods.

lFrom a staff Correspondent

missioner of Education Calvin N.
Kendall and DR.. Horace Y. Norton
of the State Medical Board, today
received official notice from the New
York State education department
that it's board of regents had ap-
proved the agreement for medical
reciprocity between New York and
New Jersey The New Jersey board
already has given its sanction to
the reciprocity.
The effect of both States ratifying
the proposition means that physi-
clans from New York may practise
in New Jersey after having complied
with the entrance fee requirement
and New Jersey physicians may en-
ter the New York medical field.
Reciprocity between the two States
was discontinued about two years
ago. The last Legislature passed the
law for its reestablishment and Gov

was made to Rock, from which point
the mob spread out over the country
and caught up with the fleeing Off
GERS and negro at Lashmoot. The
negro was taken back to Princeton.

Attorney Pendleton pleaded with the
mob to wait until the negro was abso-
lutely identified, Judge Maynard pro-

about this time Mr.. White appeared
and positively identified Johnson.
Then came news that militia were
on the way. This angered the crowd
The negro was taken under an arc
light on the main thoroughfare and
hanged.

New York Police fiead Denies

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The relation
ship between Mayor Gaynor and the
New York police department; the
mayors attitude on the city's So
called vice and excise problems, and
the extent to which the department
followed his public declarations Of
his attitude, formed the basis of u
relentless cross examination under
gone by Police Commissioner Waldo
today in the trial of Cornelius q.
Hayes, the inspector suspended IN
charges of making false statements
rejecting on the commissioner, oy
declaring Waldo told him not to raid
disorderly houses without his order.
For nearly an hour Thomas Thatch-
er, Hayes's counsel, sought to read
into the record the mayors speeches
and utterances on the vice problem.
Thwarted in his efforts by Terence
Farley, assistant corporation counsel,
appearing for the police department,
the lawyer finally gained recognition
from the trial commissioner, Douglas
1. Mckay, by this declaration:
Aims Attack at Gaynor.
Il am merely trying to prove that
Mayor Gaynor's policy was one un-
der which the social evil was recog
nized as an uncomfortable problem
which had to be endured, but that the
evil had to present a front of outward
decency; that in the failure of In
spector Hayes to raid disorderly
houses he was merely rejecting this
policy, and that any orders issued to
him by Police Commissioners Waldo
were directly in violation of that
policy"
Mr.. Thatcher was then permitted
TO proceed with his cross -examina-
ton along the lines he desired.
Does not Mayor Gaynor direct
your policy toward vice." he asked
| waldo
"He does not snapped the com
missioner.
Have you ever observed tn,
mayors views on the excise ques
! tion?"
Refers to Mayors Order.
"The mayors view," Mr.. Waldo re-
/ plied,i almost before the question had
been asked, were given to the police
in general order No. II. in 1910. Thai
order is still in force"
Don't you know the mayors views
on vice are that we have to suffer
! this evil?'
II don't know anything about the
mayors views except what he told
me; he never told me anything like
that"
Has Mayor Gaynor ever instructed
you how to deal with disorderly
houses?"
He has never given me any in
structions on that subject"
"As matter of fact, you didn't ex-
pect Hayes to raid disorderly houses
within his district, now did your
Expected Raids, He Says.
II expected him to raid every dis
orderly house as to whose operations
he could obtain evidence"
"You knew, didn't you, that disor-
derly houses had flourished for six
months in Inspector Hayess district;
that these houses were operating
every day and that they were not
being raided?"
Eyes, / knew it. I knew that dis

in that district for a year. But |
presumed that Inspector Hayes was
