humorous strain. Willard ought to
hold the championship title for a
long time, don't you think?" he was
asked. Yes" answered Jack, ''if ne
doesn't fight anybody"
But Billy, instead of stopping by
knocking Johnson, immediately
took the circumstances to bolster up
his ever-progressing fight against
booze and the devil"
This is only another victory In the
fight against booze" said Billy.
Somebody suggested that it would
make timely topic for one of to-
days sermons, and it is just probable
that the thousands who go to hear
Billy at the tabernacle today will see
him illustrating how booze killed
Johnson's chances.
Ma Sunday broke in here, as she
did many times later on, voicing her
opinion with, ITO much booze; too
much Paris. That's what licked
Johnson"
The fight atmosphere took In every

Billy was in a reminiscent mood
yesterday. 1t isn't often reporters get

Billy told much about himself and

his exploits. Before started it II
ball was batted out behind the field
er he wouldn't run back to catch it
but just let 1t drop on the field. And

Billy laughed when he told OF his
having just 81 in his pocket and an
old suit of clothes on his back when
he went to Spalding's store in Chi

FALSE IMPRESSIONS"

Alfred P. skinner.

Although the Board OF Police Com
missioners has created the berth of
acting inspector" for Captain John
E. Brown, the board members do not
themselves know what the duties of
the position are. This became ap-
parent from remarks of President
Frederick c. Breidenbach at tha
board meeting yesterday afternoon.
"The board has not yet taken up
what the duties of the inspector are"
Mr.. Breidenbach said, interrupting
Commissioner Frederic Bigelow. who
started to correct certain false inn
pressions," which followed the boards
action OF last week in naming Cap
tain Brown "acting inspector" Mr..
Breidenbach continued by saying that
the board would decide later what
the inspectors duties should be, and
that q full statement would be more
appropriate at that time.
After the open meeting OF the
board and while few spectators
still remained in the board rooms,
Patrolman Jacob Reul, on detail at
the board meeting, was instructed
to see that ''the gentlemen left the
room" Reporters looked around in
doubt as to whether they were in
cluded in this order, but were quick
ly advised that they were not, and
invited TO remain. The police cap
tains then filed into the room, and
Commissioner Bigelow proceeded with
his correction of the false impress
sions."
These alleged ''false Impressions
were to the effect that Captain
Brown in his capacity as inspector,
superseded Chief of Police Long In
authority, and supposedly were
created by an article in the Evening
Star on the day following the boards
action.
What Inspector" Has to Do.
''It is the idea that Captain Brown
make tour of the city each day,
or as often as this board desires, to
see that the orders of this board and
of the chief are being carried out, +"
Mr.. Bigelow said "There has been
no mention at all of any change in
the standing of Captain Brown"
It was at this point that Mr.. Brei-
denbach interrupted with naive ad-
missions that the board had not yet
decided what duties an acting in

By the Associated Press.

PARIS, April 6.--Another daring
exploit has been added to the long list
of those successfully carried out by
Adolphe Pegoud, the famous French
aviator, who is reported to have at
tackled and brought down German
Taube near Saint Menshould while
he was alone on patrol duty April 2.
The report of the incident says that
when Pegoud saw the German ap-
preaching he flew rapidly towards the
hostile aircraft and sent it to earth
with a few we'll placed shots. Pegoud
then landed beside the Taube and
took prisoner the German pilot and
observer, neither OF whom was in
jured.
Earlier in the same day Pegoud is
reported to have driven off three
other German aeroplanes, one of
which had dropped nine bombs on a

S,,s+ closed the forty-foot iron lattice

generally travel along at this point
at top notch speed.
Matthews scarcely had time to turn
around when he saw that the oncom-

ii was possible to go. It was apparent
the driver did not realize his danger.
Matthews tried to leap out OF narm

though he was standing between the
gates and the open draw.
Matthews was knocked down with
such violence that he went over the

BERNHARD, OF
GUMMERE ATTACK
Local Lawyer Scores Senator
Hennessy for Assault on
Chief Justice.

In q long communication, causttc
in many ways and teeming with
arguments and reference to facts and
happenings. John A. Bernhard, a
well-known local lawyer, replies
through the Evening Star to Sens-
tor Charles O'Connor Hennessy's at
tack on Chief Justice William s..
Gummere, which the Bergen Senator
made public yesterday.
The Hennessy attack was in the
form of protest to Governor James
r. Fielder against the reappoint-
ment of the chief justice.
Bernhard terms the assault on the
chief justice as brutal" and among
other things questions whether w.
of an Essex county grand jury, vio-
lated his oath as q grand juror so
far as to give to Mr.. Hennessy the
information he claims to have OBJ
tained from that source.
Appended Is the text of Mr.. Bern
hard's letter:
Newark, ". j., April 6, 1915.
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, ESQ.,,
Trenton, N. j.:
Dear Sir-In your letter to Gov
ernor Fielder, advising against the
reappointment of Chief Justice Gum
mere, you set out four reasons upon
which you base your objections, and
add: i do not, of course, raise any
question Of his integrity nor of his
learning as q lawyer, but no one
familiar with his record on the bench
can fail to note his bias for priv
ileged interest and the Significance
and invariable consistency of which
he leans to the side of public rights
when they conflict with human
rights
"You speak with some modesty Of
the great responsibility resting upon
you as a senator and as the leader
Of our party In the Senate. You
utterly fail, however, to express the
full and unbiased facts in connec-
ton with the grounds for your criti-
cism. Neither your position as q
senator nor as a leader Of your
party endow you with any special
dispenSation to hide material and
substantial facts or to misrepresent
the status of the matters you have
brought to the governors attention.
