YER and Pounced On by
Four in Auto.

Tho police system" was revealed
yesterday, when II became known that
a citizen, mistaken for process server
by a detective, was beaten by four po-
licemen and then locked up. He was
discharged when arraigned in court.
This man, according TO Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James r. Smith, IN
charge Of the graft cases, probably
will be permanently deaf as result OF

The process server, District Attorney
Swami said, was looking for Frank
Schorr. man we'll known in the old
Tenderloin as a private detective.
"Schorr," said Mr.. Smith, "knows a
great deal about conditions in the Ten
derloin. Our men have been looking
for him for ten days, but he was not
at his lodgings, 247 West Twenty-th ird
Street, nor at the Office of the detective
agency, 299 Broadway. On Saturday
word came that he might return that
night from Atlantic City, reaching New
York by the Twenty-third Street ferry.

Schorr was waiting in Twenty-third
Street, when a Headquarters detective
passed him. The man stayed about the
place until just before midnight, when
he went into store. He had no sooner
left the corner than citizen stopped
to await a car. While he was so walt
ing an automobile drove up, four men
jumped out and began beating HIM
The arrest followed.
"Since then we have been unable 70

DIR. Emerson and other Health De-

Parents are urged by Commissioner
/ Emerson not to deprive their children
of fresh air. "They have false idea,"
he said, "that by shutting windows they

The department issued an appeal
yesterday for second hand Photographs
to be used to entertain the children, who
must stay in the hospitals eight weeks,
after which there is no danger that they
will spread the disease. The phono-
