Der, Geddebro Says.

Charged with assaulting Fred Ged-
debro, a Danish playwright and jour
nalist, with his nightstick on the night
of November z, Patrolman Francis j.
Mace, of the West Twentieth Street
station, was placed on trial yesterday
before Deputy Commissioner Durham.
Mr.. Geddebro, who came to this
country seven years ago at the request
of the late Jacob Riis, his friend, lives
at 431 West Nineteenth Street. He
testified that he and two friends, John
W. Jensen and Chris Jensen, of Ho-
boken, after attending lecture by the
Rev. John Haynes Holmes at the
Church Of the Messiah. were on their
way to the West Twenty-third Street
ferry when the alleged assault was
made.
At Tenth Avenue, he said, he saw
Mace holding a woman and he took
the officers number. Mace, noting the
action, let the woman go and struck
Geddebrc, the latter says, with his

on the forehead while he lay on the
ground. He displayed two broken
teeth as corroboration. The Jensens
bore out Geddebro's testimony.
The officer testified that he was at
tempting TO direct woman who was
slightly under the influence of liquor.
He was escorting her across the street,
when she triDDed on car-rall. He
lost his balance, he said, and his night
stick, hanging on his left arm, struck
the woman. He denied striking Gedde
bro, and said that the playwright re-
ceived his injuries by falling.
Mace added that he had several wit
nesses, but they did not appear. The
case was adjourned until next Friday

Captain Steve McDermott's retire

was one of the three captains who re-
fused TO quit for Commissioner Waldo,
when he was anxious to make vacan-

order to promote Lieutenant Enright.

SNUB TO ENRIGHT
Lieutenant, First on List,
Fails to Get Cap

Ormsby, Aid to Dwyer, Loses
Broadway Power by Latest
Shake-Up.

Lieutenant Richard E. Enright, the
/ Chauncey NJ. Depew Of the Police De-
partment, was snubbed by Commits
sioner Woods yesterday. First on the
list of eligibles, the genial POSTMASTER
was ignored when two captains were
made.
The Commissioner action in refus-
ing 70 advance Enright was based on
the failure of the Lieutenants' Benevo-
lent Association, OF which Enright Is
president. 20 repudiate the attacks
made upon the Woods administration
by William b. Ellison, the organiza-
tion's counsel, after all the other po-
lice organizations had taken such &C
ton.
With the announcement Of the pro-
motion Of the lieutenants came shake
up of captains. Standing out in that
shake-up is another humiliation for
Enright. For over three months he has
been acting captain of the Snyder
Avenue station, Flatbush, and accord
ing TO the order he is transferred to
do desk duty as lieutenant in the
Stage Street, Williamsburg, station.
Lieutenant Edward F. McNally, for
many years one of the desk chiefs Of
the Headquarters Detective Bureau,
who was No. on the list, is made a
captain, and placed in charge of the
Long Island City station, where for
some time he has been acting captain.
No. on the list, Thomas V. I'M
derhill, of the Classon Avenue station,
is advanced and sent to take charge Of
the West Forty-seventh Street station.
The last move vas also a great sur
prise, for it removes the last Of the
Inspector Dryer influence on Broad
way. Captain John d. Ormsby. recog-
nized as Inspector Dryers right hand
man, who always was assigned by
Dryer as acting inspector when Dwyer
was away on leave Of absence, loses his
important post, to make way for Cap
tain Underhill, and is sent to take
charge of Traffic &C."

Harrisburg. Penn. April l0.-The
24S.797 feminine voters or Chicago who
visited the polls AT the mayoralty cleo
tion struck crushing blow al the
"antis'" contention that women would
not use the ballot if they had IT, but

the argument.
Miss Erickson is a registered voter

OF more than 500 miles TO her home

for her chosen candidates. She said:
