POLICE BREAK UP
SUNDAY NIGHT PARTY
IN EDWARDS BLOCK IS
On Sand Hill and Have Lively
Time-Charlos Gormegas and
Costas Thogas Get Heads
Cracked by Night Sticks of
Officers

The peace and quiet Of the early
hours of Sunday evening was disturb
ed by the interference on the part of
the police with a jollifcation party
which some Of the Greek residents of
the city had started in Block 55, one Of
the big tenements on Sand Hill So
called, owned by the Edwards Manu-
featuring Co., and which interference
resulted not only in the breaking up
Of the party and the arrest of three OF
the participants, but also in the heads
Of two Of those arrested coming into
violent contact with the night sticks
of the police
II the merrymakers had chosen some
night other than Sunday night for
their soiree it would have been better
judgment on their part, but all nights
evidently look alike to them when the
spirit Of celebration pervades their
breasts. and their choice Of Sunday
night for a celebration was the cause
of all the trouble. Some IS or 80 of
the residents of the block had assem-
bled in a room and were having what
they termed good time" apparent
ly unmindful of the fact that they were
making no small amount Of noise, SO
much in fact that when at about
O'Clock in the afternoon Night Officer
Cyr passed the place he stopped and
told them that it was Sunday night
and that he wished they would be more
quiet.
The remarks of the officer did not
meet with the approval of the party
participating in the festivities in the
house and they told him that they
would run things to suit themselves.
The officer being but one against so
many left the place and came down
to the police station for assistance.
On his arrival at the station Officer
Cyr reported conditions as he had left
them, and he was at once Joined by
Deputy Marshal Glidden and Night
Officer Corbett. Then the three start
cd once more for Sand Hill and Block
So. and on their arrival at their des-
tlnation it is understood that there
was something doing Complete de-
tails as to just what happened in the
house after the arrival Of the officers
have not been given out, but it is
known that the party objected to the
interference of the men in the blue
uniforms and made some overtures for
the purpose Of getting rid of them.
Then the officers got busy and used
their new night sticks very effective
ly, for they not only broke W. the
party but arrested three of the par
Elephants and took them over to the
police station.
The men arrested were Charles Cor
megas, Costas Thogas and John Ar
menes, and the two first named re-
ceived scalp wounds which though
they bled somewhat profusely were not
dangerous. After reaching the station
the wounds of the two men were
dressed. after which with Armenes
they were locked up for the night. La
ter in the evening the police again
visited the scene Of the trouble but the
party had dispersed and everything
about the place was quiet.

BELGIUM A RE
GROWING WORSE

Boston, Mass. Nov. 2S.-Brand
Whitlock. American Minister to Bel
GUM. in letter to Charles S. Racke-
mann, Secretary of the New England
Belgian Relief Committee, states that
conditions in Belgium are growing
worse and that Indulgence is greatly
on The increase and the proportion Of
the people which is dependent upon
organized relief is greatly increasing
He states the case exactly and tells
| what has been accomplished by the
Commission for Relief in Belgium I'M
Ger trying circumstances.
/ Acting for the New England Belgian
Relief Committee, Mr.. Rackemann
wrote and asked Brand Whitlock for
clear and definite statement of con-
ditions in Belgium this winter and re-
ceived the following reply:
American Legation. Brussels,
Oct. rs, 1915.
Charles S. Rackemann, Esq, Secre-
tary. New England Belgian Relief
Fund, Boston.
Sir have just received your let
ter Of September "A in regard to con-
diuons in Belgium. In reply l beg to
say that the need Of assistance in Bel
GUM for women children and nom
combatants is much greater than it
was. six, eight or ten months ago and
that the need will increase very great
ly-durine the coming winter both as
reGalds food and clothing.
The Commission for Relief in Belgium
is handling the situation with remarkable
efficiency and while there is not the
same uncertainty that existed at the be-
ginning of the war. the general financial
and economic condition of the country is
snch that increasingly large calls will be
made upon private contributions to meet
the requirements Of the coming winter.
TN view of the interruption of com
merce and the paralyZation of industry
Indulgence is greatly on the increase and
the proportion of the people which is de-
pendent upon organized relief is greatly
increasing.
Il cannot impress you too strongly with
my belief in the great efficiency of the
relief worl, now being done in Belgium.
The Commission for Relief in Belgium
has been organized to very high degree
of efficiency and is rendering devoted
and effective service at remarkably
small cost for administrative expendi-
lures.
In regard to your last question. ! cam
not say that any class of the population
is Disseminated against in regard to its
supply of food. Those who are able to
pay for their food do so and the small
profit that is made on these sales is de-
voted to paying for the provisions given
free and freely to the indigents.
For further and more definite informa-
ton ] feel that l cannot do better than
to refer you to Mr.. Herbert c. Hoover
the chairman of the Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium. who has Just left for
America and whose New York address
will be at the New York office of the
commission, Il Broadway"

Sailor Prince told me that he recognized
her as the same one that had sunk his
ship some hours previous, although at
that time. he said she flew the Aus
trian colors. Her deck armament con-
sisted of two l2-pounders, which were
in plain sight as she came alongside
the Barulos. The Sailor Prince, her
captain said. was given 20 minutes to
get her crew into the boats before she
was sunk by nine shots fired into her
hold.
available shipping records here do
not contain the name Barulos. This
may be due to frequent changing of
names and the remaining of ships cap
tured in the war zone

BRIDGE WORKER
DROPS 260 FEET
INTO EAST RIVER

New York, Nov. 9S.-A misstep on one
of the steel girders of the bridge Of the
New York Connecticut Railway spanning
the East river cost the life of Anton
Pazderka of No. IA, North Washington
place, Long Island City, an ironworker
q years old
While his fellow workmen watched
Pazderka plunged 26o feet to the river
and disappeared. Workmen put out in
small boats, but no trace of the body
could be found. The harbor police sent
a patrol boat to the scene.
The shock of Pazderka's death and the
slippery condition of the iron work. due
to fog and drizzle, caused all hands to
quit work for the day. The new bridge
spans the East river from Port Morris
over Randall's and Wards islands to
Astoria.
