TO "COP" POWER
FORS.GS.EMPLOYES

The Police Commission yesterday
afternoon refused to approve bill
the. Street and Sewer Directors intend
sending to the Legislature, which pro-
vides giving to all the specially com
missioned officers of that department
the same power and authority as Is
invested i'm irregular policeman.
At present the foreman and super
visors of the Street and Sewer De-
partment are commissioned by the
Police Commission as special officers,
with authority to arrest anyone dam
aging the departments property or
violating any rules Of the department
in or about its property. The new bill
asks that these men be made police
men with as much authority as the
city patrolmen. The object Of this, IL
is stated in the BILL is for the better
enforcement of the laws and city ordi-
nances.
The police commissioners pointed
out that such an act would create here
a special police fore. police depart
ment with all the rights and authority
of the regular patrolmen but not
under the jurisdiction of or within the
jurisdiction of the Board of Police
Commissioners. This new separate
and distinct police department would
be under the charge OF the Street and

jurisdiction all over the city within its

Bought and Paid Far" which be-
gins the fifth week Of its Philadelphia
engagement at the Adelphi Theatre
has more laughs to the minute than
the average farce-comedy. despite the
fact that the theme of the play is es-
sentially dramatic. The author George
Proadhurst, mas apparently made little
or no effort to induce laughter by writ
ing smart dialogue, but rather Sc
cures results by utilizing natural,
everyday conversation.
The character of Jimmy Gilley, the
sl4 week shipping clerk, is con-
caded to be one Of the best drawn
types which the stage has offered in
recent years. The part is that Of an
easy-going optimistic youth whose
rich broiher-in-law engages him az a
salary ten times greater than ne is
really worth. Young Gilley oyerhows

destined to make him rich, but which

POLICE WANT
PENSIONS AFTER
20 YEARS SERVICE

Members Of the Police Department
have two bills which they propose to
have the General Assembly act upon.
zone of them reduces the time Of eligi-
bility for pension from % years con-
tinuous service to twenty years, and
the other makes it possible to allow
the city linemen, who are virtually
members of the Police Department to
participate in the pension fund. II Is
said there is some objection TO the
change i'm the time of service in order
to become eligible for pension
When the pension fund was created
the city linemen we're considered en-
titled to participate and for nearly d
year they paid their monthly assess
ments, the same as the policemen.
Then It was claimed they we're not ac-
tual members Of the police department
and they retired.

TIGERS DUE

Bounce Up Against Brown
son in Local Cage

Harry Hough and his battling Tren-
ton Tigers, resplendent In all their
glory, will invade the Brownson camp
on Friday night, and expect 10 carry
off some fat victims to their lair
Against the conquering De Neri team,
on Monday night, after a bitter strug-
gle. they lost out, and De Neri came
through with 26-19 victory.
Hough put up a great game, gather
ing four lengthy heayes and doing
most of the floor work. He was a
little weak in his foul shooting, how
ever. caging but out of is chances,
and if he had been up to the standard
the tale would have been different.
Frost, the Tri-state backstop was in
the game at forward and grabbed a
pair Of goals. Trenton was greatly
handicapped by the absence OF Jimmy
Kane and his usual quote of field
goals we're sorely missed.
Cooper and Babby Maham, the
Skeeters' superb guards, held De
Neri's peerless forwards to two line
tosses. This is considered as one OF
the neatest pieces of guarding pulled
off yet, as Fogarty is one of the lead
ing scorers, and Doc Newman is the
only big Lacquer who has not yet
been shut out He almost felt the
whitewash brush, welded by AL Coop
er, and his one toss was slipped in
on a hard chance. Cooper also worked
in a two-pointed, and is considered as
one of the best guards in the business
Counting Mondays struggle, he has
figured in twenty-one contests, has
had but eight field goals scored
against him, and has fourteen shut
outs and thirty-six goals to his credit
It can be readily seen that Burke and
Haney will have to hit it up some L
tally on these shutout wizards
Getzinger will head the combination
at centre, and Manager Fitzpatrick
has received word from Pete Rile,
that Hough. Frost, Kane. Cooper
Getzinger and Mayham will be dowr
