An AtrOctOus Police Biunder.

1t Is dishear tening to md that the New
York police ~ often lose their heads
and blunder when confronted with y
slightly exciting situation. The men
who raidetl the Calvary Baptist Church
on Sunday and interrupted the services
were absolutely in the wrong. Neither
excuse nor palliation for their conduct
can be conceived o. II was perfectly
right to eject them foCibly. and for
whatever damage resulted incidentally,
whether In the way Of scratches and
bumps or OF torn raiment. they deserve
no sympathy whatever Down to n
certain point the case is against them
without reserve or qualification.
But there was and could be no excuse
or pahiation for the police In singing
out one man In the street. outside the
church and after the interruption Of
the service had been Quelled. and in
fiicting upon him savage clubbing
According to the news accounts half a
dozen policemen surrounded this one
man. LOPEZ. the Portuguese. and "beat
him fearfully." Here is the detailed
description:
"A police billy came crunchins against
the bones Of LoPEs's legs. 1t struck as
hard a. man could swing it eight times
A FIST planted on LoPEz's Jaw knocked
out two teeth. His lip was torn open. A
blow in the eye made II swell and blacken
instantly. EPHRAIM tried to help his COM
panion and was pretty badly beaten too.
A minute later LOPEZ was leaning against
the church with blood running to the
door sill"
That the disturbers Of the church
deserve the greatest penalty that the
law allows no sane man will dispute.
1t Is the duty Of the courts to deal with
even the courts have the power Of in
dieting corporal chastisement. 1t Is
repugnant to the whole spirit Of our
civilization. How much more outra-
Haous Is II that police officials. blind with
rage. should infiict such a beating upon
a citizen! The police are justified in
defending themselves when attacked.
They are justified In putting down
armed or rampant violence with any
degree Of force that may be necessary.
But they are no more justified in club
hing an unarmed man for being noisy
or even for struggling with them than
they would be In setting fire to n house
to prevent gambling in it. 1t is conduct
OF this sort that Mayor GAYNoR had 10
mind when he prohibited the night
stick.
Apart from its lawlessness and
wickedness, brutality Of this kind L. n
tactical blunder. Down to the clubbing
Of LOPEZ there was only one side 10 the
doings at Calvary Church. 1t was
question between insolent malice and
law and order. The police with their
clubs created at once a divided issue.
and to-day scores of law abiding people
lose sight altogether of the original Of
fence in their Indignation at the still
worse atrocity on the other side. This
II matter for the Police Commissioner
to take M relentlessly. MIR. WOODs
ought to show that he IL master OF the
force and that he means to run 1t on
humane rather than on COssack prin-
ciples. He should find out every man
who took part In the clubbing OF LOPEZ
and turn him over to the District At |
torney for prosecution.
