BOY COPS WILL MARCH
IN PARADE WITH POLICE
Lads Organized by Captains Sweeney and Sexton Will
Wear Copies Of Regular Uniform Provided by
Their Benefactors Black and Spencer.

Lawrence y. Durham. This action
makes the junior police force an OIL
cial branch Of the city's Police Depart
ment.
When arrangements for the annual
parade were under consideration, Lieu
tenant Charles Scofcld. drill master OF
the department, was notified to prepare
the boys for the parade. Captains
Sweeney and Sexton were also notihed'
and Public School SO. in Fourth Street
between First Avenue and Avenue A,
was designated as drill quarters.
There every afternoon, except Sun
day, one may find Lieutenant Scofield
Captain Sweeney, Captain Sexton, Mr..
Black or Mr.. Spencer, each of the men
having agreed TO give up two alter
noors each week TO see that the regu-
latiou police drill is taught to the boys.
Messrs. Black and Spencer AZ con
ference recentlv with the Commis-
sioner decided that the boys would not
look well in their street clothes IN the
parade. with only their badges to show
their authority. so the two men agreed
to At out the junior force with dupli-
cate of the uniforms of the regular
force.
In General Order 10. issued yester-
day by Commissioner Woods. the de-
partment was notified 10 get ready for
the drill preparatory TO the parade.
Inspectors. captains and lieutenants are
instructed to acquaint themselves with
the army drill regulations, in so far as
they apply to the school of the soldier,
squad, company. battalion and regl-
ment.
The seth and 18th Regiment armories
will be used for drills. There will be
eleven regiments in the parade. The
frst regiment will be headed by the
honor men of the department.
As in former years, Chief Inspector
Schmittberger will lead the parade, and
the regiments will be commanded by
the inspectors or acting inspectors.

New York's bo~ policemen, or, as
they are officially known, the Junior
Police of the City of New York. at
tired in uniforms copied from those OF
the regular force, will be feature OF
the annual police parade on May :.
The uniforms are being provided by
J. Beaumont Spencer. consulting en-
gineer, OF 80 Church Street, and Corwln
Black, the president Of the American
Express Realty Company, Of Rector
Street Both men have taken an active
interest in the youngsters organiza-
ton, and are giving time and money to
assure the success of the movement.
The idea Of hoy cops" was first put
into practice by Captain John Sweeney,
Of the Fifth Street Precinct. Gradu-
ally the membership in the precinct
reached 210, some of the boys beng
those who had made the life OF the
regular policemen burdcnsome.
Captain John B. Sexton recently or
gsnized the boys in the East Twenty
second Street Precinct. and now has q
force of It's. In both cases the lads
have aroused the admiration of mem
bers of the regular force.
MIR. Black and Mr.. Spencer became
interested in the efforts of the two po-
lice captains and made frequent trips
to the districts. They were amazed at
the efficiency Of the boys and the re-
spect with which they were treated, not
only by children of their own age but
by careless janitors who disobey the
Health Department regulations. push
cart pedlers who failed to maintain the
traffic and health regulations and, in
fact, any violator of the law or ordi-
nances.
The experiment was watched with
keen interest by Commissioner Woods,
and when reports showed the character
of the work the youngsters were doing
he placed them under the direct super
vision Of Third Deputy Commissioner

BARRIERS Discover Internal Ma
chine-Fails to Explode.

When Joe Pitia and Paul Sanszoni
went to work yesterday morning at the
barber shop of Frank Razza, at $50
Second Avenue. they found bomb
leaning against the door. The fuse had
been lighted, but the machine failed TO
explode.
Razzs put the bomb-an affair ten
inches long, with diameter Of three
inches, encased in a sheetiron box,
bound with ten bands Of WREN
water. and later took il to the Second
Branch Detective Bureau.
Owen Eagen. Inspector Of Com
bustibles, said that it was more power
full than either of the bombs found in
st. Patrick's Cathedral. Its failure to
explode was due to defective fulmin-
ating cap.

He says she sold her house to her
next door neighbor. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dennis Blakeslee. Later ne re-
ceived an anonymous letter saying his
wife was in Santa Barbara. Cal, but
when he wrote there he got no answer.
"And so for two years have been
tied TO this extraordinary old lady.
writes the author He says two years
ago she suggested he allow her to d.
vorce him without contest, but he
saws he wouldn't do it. as to sign a
paper would be illegal, constituting
COLLISION"
The very last paragraph OF the letter
explains it all. Mrs. Susman wasn't old
enough. The young man who married
her when he was twenty-nins says:
Had she been thirty-eight years my
senior, instead of only twenty-eight,
she might have in reality felt the SEN
timents toward me that she merely pro-
fessed to feel. and VIC might still have
been living together as mother and son.

BEATEN BY BANDITS,
HE PROTECTS TOWN
Engineer Refuses to Shut
Off Park Ridge Lights
for Raiders.

Hackensack. n. j.. March Rather
than expose the town to midnight
raid by three burglars, Edward
Griesch. night engineer at the munici-
pal electric light plant at Park Ridge,
defed threats to kill him if he didn't
throw off the switches and put the en-
tire town in darkness. lie was beaten,
bound and gagged and robbed of $3.50,
his savings of several months.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til $3.50 o'clock this morning. giving
the bandits ample time TO make their
escape.
From the conversation of the men
have every reason to believe that they
were complete strangers to this sec
ton" said the victim, "for after they
had been in the plant few minutes
they wanted me to give them direc-
, lions to the two hotels and the tax
collector.
at so happened that at o'clock,
while | was about TO take S35 from
my savings with which to buy suit
of clothes tomorrow, | heard knock
on the door. | hurriedly put the
money in my overcoat pocket and hung
it in the small closet. AS ! opened the
door a trihe TO see who was outside
the three masked men showed their
way in Two of them had revolvers
and kept me covered all the time.
"'Say, young fellow, we want you
to put the town in darkness by turn
! ing off the levers. for we have little
work TO do said one of the men.
81 refused and they gave me ten
minutes in which to make up my mind.
Meanwhile one of the men went
through my clothes and got $3.50.
| Then he espied the telephone and dis
connected the wires. Next | see him
| go into my closet and take $3.50 from
my coat.
"They waited nearly fifteen minutes
for me to make up my mind, and after
| getting my final answer two of them
! struck me on the head, knocking me
down. They then bound and gagged
me.
The men were with me fully half
an hour. ! could hear them talking
about the switches, and they cursed
me because | wouldn't tell them which
ones to pull. They seemed afraid to
touch the levers, for they all have
metallic colored handles"
The young engineer says he tried
10 get glimpse OF the DulSidIS Idcoe,
but he couldn't see much because of
the large handkercheis that covered
them.
II was about $50 o'clock when Super
intendent f. Vernon Smith, looking out
of his window, found the street lights
still burning. This aroused his sus-
picions and he telephoned to the
plant. but could get no response. About
this time Frank English discovered
Griesch, bound and gagged.
81 made up my mind that | would
not throw off the lights If they shot
ME, and they seemed to realize ]
meant what | said" remarked Griesch.
The men are described as being large
and wore dark overcoats.
