dumbfounded. He asked for the man
who had done the shooting and the
policeman explained that the man had
escaped. Thinking that some arrest
should be made in the case, the pol
iceman had arrested the man shot at,
who made no effort to escape. The
magistrate promptly dismissed the
prisoner with a few sarcastic remarks
about police methods.

Greater New York are determined to
put a stop to the loafing around of
young men at all hours of the night.

the borough to arrest all young men
who were out on the streets at that
time without good cause. One of the
Manhattan magistrates has gone even
a step farther by %instructing the pol.
ice to arrest all men loafing around
the hotel entrances, etc., in the Broad.

police should obey this order, which
is not probable, the Great. White Way
will become rather deserted after the
hour Of midnight in the future. ~
