Athens, Oct. 21-A despatch receiv- ed by the Russian legation announces that the Bulgarian troops have not taken Vranya. as has been reported. They are said to have been held up by the formidable defenses of Vlasina However, they have succeeded in oc- cupyfng the railroad north of the town. The great battle continues, it is stated. and remains indecistve.
 The Serbian legation deAies that the Bulgarians have occupied Zajecar. It is stated that the two forts which the Bulgarians claim to have taken are ancient works for temporary fortif1- cations which were erected in 1913 and which the Serbians did not con- slider it worth while to defend, the de- lenses of zajecar having been moved to the rear.

TWO MOTORCYCLE POLICEMEN WILL
 WATCH MOTORISTS
Reckless Jitney Drivers and Motorists Who Are Care
 less To Be Arrested.

Resolved to correct the evil of reck- less driving and overcrowding jitney cars in this city, Superintendent Eugene Birmingham of, the police de- partment said today that beginning Saturday evening he will have two motorcycle policemen on night duty.
 Motorcycle Policeman Clifford N. Gorgas. who made many arrests Vast Saturday will be one of the men as- signed to duty. The other, in all probability, will be Motorcycle Police man John Gerrity.
 Both men will begin duty at o'clock in the afternoon. It is not yet known at what time their work will terminate and it s believed that they will be kept on duty until early in the morning. Gorgas and Gerrity will be called be- fore Superintendent Birmingham be- fore being assigned to duty and will be given instructions to round up all speed ing motorists, chauffeurs of over crowded jitneys and drivers who fail to comply with the ordinance relative to tail lights. They will also be in structed to arrest drivers of all motor vehicles, even private ones, who al- low their passengers or guests to ride on the running board, hood or top of the machine. During the last sum mer two violent deaths have, oc- cured through riding on tops of ma chimes.
 Having suffered great losses owing to the work of a gang of local harbor pirates it is said that 8 committee of prominent members of many local yacht clubs will soon wait on the board of police commissioners and ask for the appointment of one. or more polio >men3 to be known as the harbor police They would patrol the Sound and inner harbor during the night season and afford protection to the owners of many small craft moored in this vicinity. No money is avail able for this
 On Election Day. Nov. 2, the change in detail of the local police most likely will go into effect. On this day also two motorcycle policemen will be relegated to patrol duty Superinten- dent Birmingham already had the change in detail drawn up but owing to the strike conditions a short time ago he demanded it wise to make no shift at that tiTne- It is believed that he will submit it to the board of po- EIfce commissioners at their next meet ing. one week from Saturday.

LIFE OF PRISONER EBBlNG, HIS JAIL
 TERM COMMUTED
Judge Wilder Releases Shu renski, Arrested After
 Crane Go. Clash.


 Ordered to serve a jail sentence of one year, while his life apparently is slowly ebbing away, Steven ShuTenski of 2 West avenue, this morning asked the city court to suspend execution of the sentence meted out to him Sept. 8, when he was tried and convicted by Judge Wilder on the charge of com hitting breach of the peace and as- sau1t during the recent strike troubles at the West End plant of the Crane Co.
 After County Sheriff Simeon Pease and Jai1er Dennis O'Nei1 informed the court that Shurenski is i'll and was worrying his life away in his cell at the county jail, Judge Frank L. Wilder decided to order his release from jail. He was placed in the custody of the probation officer for a year.
 Shurenski appeared in court today with a haggard look upon his face. His eyes were sunken and his cheeks were pale. Slowly he mounted the witness stand to explain his condition to the court and ast he was about to sit on the witness chair he fell almost prostrate. Shurenski has been under the eye Of Jailer Dennis O,Nei1, who has been giving him nourishfng food.
 He was brought to the court in the automobile of Sheriff Pease and after adjournment he was taken to his home in the same conveyance.
 Little evidence of the trouble at the Crane plant was produced in court today. However, sufficient evidence was presented to show that Shurensk was not culpable.
 Owing to the weakened condition of the prisoner, brought on by his con finement, he will be unable to perform any. work for some time to come. He has served almost two months of his sentence.

FORTY ARE HURT AS FERRY RAMS
 NEW YORK PIER

women were injured today when the Lackawanna ferryboat Netherland crashed into the Barrow street pier during a fog and hurled number of passengers under the hoofs of a dozen horses on the boat. Six of the injured were taken to hospitals and the others were treated by ambulance surgeons after being landed.
 The crash occurred during the worst fog of the year, according to bay men. More than BOO commuters were on the Netherland and many of them had gathered forward as the ferry neared the slip. The fog settled down during the night and seriously interfered wi h harbor and river traffic during the ear- ly part of the day. Ten steams ships, including the Orduna from Liverpool, were held up between Ambrose Chan neI and quarantine for several hours.
