Representative Walter Elder of Louisi-
ana appeared before the police trial
board. which met in the Police Court
building yesterday to try Policeman j. B.
Larrick and testified in defense of the
veteran. who was accused of neglect Of
duty. The charge against Larrick. the

i'm his duty in not locking up a man said
to have been under the influence Of
liquor.
Representative Elder. besides testify
ing in the policeman's behalf, helped con-
duct his defense. The member of Con-
gress told the members of the board that
he found an aged man in the custody of
the policeman the night of August 80,
and asked the officer to release the man
in his custody. Then he took him home
in hack, seeing that he got safely to
bed. and returned to inform the police
man of what action he had taken.
Later q complaint was filed with Maj
Sylvester against Larrick. and he was or
dered to stand trial on q charge of neg
lect of duty. Capt. Byrnes Of the sixth
precinct, one of the members of the trial
board, said today that the board had
reached a decision in the case already,
but that it would not be made public

ter Returns From Foreign Trim,

Manager Fred Berger of the Columbia
Theater returned last night after a six
week trip through continental Europe
covering points in France. Germany,
Austria Hungary and Switzerland. During
his stay in New York he looked over
the bookings for the Columbia for the
present season and expressed himself
as highly pleased with the outlook. He
also entered into an arrangement with
Messrs Werba and Luescher whereby
that firm will give the first right OF
stock production to all their plays to the
Columbia Players.
Mr.. Berger was not enthusiastic over
the theatrical entertainment provided
abroad He visited many theaters and
says that ragtime seems to have over
run the musical houses. while those de-
voted to the legitimate drama are pre-
senting a standard of plays far below
that of the American theaters of the
better class.
