TO END PARK SP00NING
One Plan Is to Have Policemen
Stare at Couples.

II you and the idol OF your heart are
seated on II bench IN the park-Centrsl
Park or any other park-this summer, and
a policeman should come to a sudden halt
and stare at you. don't object. He IS
doing IL because he thinks you arr
about 10 spoon. and spooning in the parks
is one OF the things that crate on the
nerves of the committee appointed to CO.
operate with the authorities in conserving
the parks.
II was the chairman OF the committee.
Alexander II. Spencer, who proposed "a
staring policeman as one Of the means 10
check spoony couples Spencer brought
the subject up at meetin attended by
five members OF the committee at his nome,
No 200 West 9TH street, last night.
Another means OF checking spooning In
the parks at night, as suggested by Mr.
Spencer, was the installation OF more
lights "Of course, said he. 'the thing to
do is to make II as uncomfortable for these
people as possible"
One way that was jo-osely suggested
would be to insist on every couple carry
ing a lantern after dark, and still another
plan contemplated the introduction OF
large number OF fire flies and glow worms
In the parks.
Another subject discussed was the death
OF at least % per cent of the rhododendrons
planted in Central Park by Mrs. Russell
Sage. Their destruction. Il was said, was
due TO the unusually cold winter. The re-
mainder OF the plants are now being care
fully nursed.

GIRLS TO BE JOURNALISTS
Barnard Will Prepare Students
for New Course.

An official statement has been given as 10
the state OF affairs between Barnard Col
leee and the Pulitzer School of Journalism
following the recent statement OF the direc-
tors. In which II was announced that
women could take the first two years At
Barnard with the expectation OF obtaining
later the third and fourth years leading 10
the degree OF Doctor OF Letters N the
School of Journalism.
Dean Gildersleeve. Of Barnard. said yes
terday that preparations for the courses of
lgl2-'l3 had been completed. She explained
that this preparatory work must be taken
outside OF Columbia because of an unwrit-
ten law prohibiting women from taking
undergraduate collegiate work" in Column
bia. Some OF the new courses will also be
open TO those not journalistically inclined.
There is still some doubt as 10 what
women graduates from other colleges will
do about entrance into the Journalistic
school and whether or not they can claim
admission without the two years prepsra-
tory course al Barnard Probably. except
I'm individual cases OF particularly advanced
standing the only gateway for women TO
the study OF this profession will be through
Barnard. A few graduate courses in jour-
nalism. however, are now open to any col.
lege graduates.
Applications for the journalistic course
have been numerous, and Barnard will
probably contribute many. as even now
several OF the graduates are engaged In &C.
tive newspaper work. one having been for
several years the Paris correspondent on
one Of the leading New York City papers.

Tombs, Lacking $4,000 Bail.

Salvatrlce Pisano. a small. frail Italian
woman, shy and shrinking in her manner,
was arrested yesterday by Secret Service

William J. Flynn chief Of the Secret Ser
vice in this city. arralgned her before John
A. Shields, United States Commissioners,

Young woman was a rather dangerous and
incorrigible maker OF spurious coins. She
was an adept he said, at making nickels
and quarters that were easily accepted by
tradesmen who did not stop TO examine
carefully the coins handed TO them.
Her cleverness In the game was so great.
Chief Flynn said. that when they arrested
her for the first time some Ave months ago
for passing q spurious quarter. she had her
tracks so well hidden that 1t was impossi-
bic 10 ind sufficient evidence and she had
10 be discharged.
Since that time Secret Service men have
been shadowing her. Mr. Flynn said that
the woman was assisted by man now and
then. but most OF the coin passed by her
and those whom she secured 10 do II Tor
her was made by her own hands.
Quite a large quantity of nickels and
quarters of her own manufacture were
found in the secluded lodging occupied by
Mrs. Pisano. This time Chief Flynn seemed
confident that he had secured enough EVIL
dence to bring the woman to trial
She was held In 5000 bail for examina-
ton on Tuesday. and being unable to FUR
nish any security, she was taken to the
Tombs.
