New York Police Commissioner At

on White Slave Themes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The New
York police today took active measures
to suppress two plays which lay their
chief scenes in disorderly houses. Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo applied to the
magistrate for warrants for arrest of
the managers of these dramas on the
ground that they were pandering to a
low standard OF morals.
From what Mr., Newburger has re-

OF course, there is difference Of opin-
iou as to how far police power extends
in a matter of this kind. Ny opinion
is that such plays are offenses against
dccency and public morals. 1t is up to
the courts to say what shall be done
with the men who put such plays on
the stage
The penalty for the offenses charged
by the police is $500 fine or year 8
