10000 BOYS HOLD
ATHLETIC MEET
NEW YORK LADS DEMONSTRATE
ADVANTAGE OF COURSE IN
PHYSICAL TRAINING.

New York, June 6.-Ten thousand
boy athletes gathered in Central PARK
today to show 10000 New York school
children and their parents the benefits
of physical training and encourage the
use Of the park play grounds. The
demonstration was arranged by the
public schools athletic league.
The program included exercise
drills, races and standing broad jump
and relay by 100 teams, each of forty
five boys, and an interborough all
round combination relay in which
teams of twenty-five from each of the
five boroughs strove for the highest
net score at running 100 yards, hurd-
ling and "chinning." At the same
time there were four games of baseball,
four of basket ball and one of soccer
football for the city school champion
ship.
This demonstration the league hopes
will pursuade children to spend their
pennies for carfare to reach the park
playing fields instead Of spending them
fer candy and moving picture shows.
The league theory is that children get
into mischief largely for want of op-
portunity for normal play.

DETECTIVE FORGE

oRlTIEs WITH BEING IN LEA
CUE WITH Crooks.

New York, June 6.-Scathing ar
raignment of the detective bureau of
the New York police department and
a charge that partnership exists be-
tween some detectives and criminals
are contained in the third section Of
the Curran committee report on police
conditions, submitted to the board OF
aldermen today brisk fight over
the reports adoption is expected.
BENJAMIN Levy" says the report.
'.who had never been convicted OF a
crime, testified that at the. request OF
the officials in the detective bureau,
he had often induced criminals to
commit burglary in order that they
might be arrested. He was strongly
corroborated by reputable citizens, In
cluding an official of an insurance COM
pany, a merchant and others.
Levy testified that in one case
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, In
charge Of the detective bureau, gave
him $25 with which to purchase bur.
glars tools and after he succeeded in
the burglary paid him $75 for his serv-
ice. City vouchers for these amounts
in Levy's favor were found in the
comptroller's office.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty
and others involved were subpoenaed
by us and asked to wave immunity be-
fore giving their testimony This they
refused with one exception and they
were not interrogated. Notwithstand-
ing the shocking nature of this testi-
mony and the corroboration received,
the commissioner has taken no action
whatever in the premises. 1t is not
surprising that under such lax disci-
pline some detectives turn thieves.
In conclusion the report says the
bureau is hopelessly inefficient and
should be reorganized along drastic
lines.
