Police Captain.

For some reason that isn't known
to policemen in general. the board of
police commissioners are threatening g
to break any man found smoking,
drinking or lettering on his beat.
Whether or not any serious viola
tions of a rule that prohibits these
things have been discovered, is not
known. It has transpired however,
that two policemen who failed to re-
port to a fire in the West End, in
which their beats were, have been
transferred to less desirable beats.
The policemen knew OF the fire, ac-
cording to reports.
President John G. Stanley cf the
board of cornnissi oners, addressed the
men at headquarters last night and
reminded them of the rule. Superin-
tendent Eugene Birmingham said this
morning that he didn't know or any
znfraction that may have caused the
occurrence.
According to information that has
been given the police, the commission
ers will sleuth about the city at Vari-
Gus times, watching the policemen to
see that they are on the jobs.
Commissi oner Stanley. of the po-
lice department, Commissioner Leon
ard of the fire department and Police
Capt. John H. Regan visited theatres
last night. They also made a, round
OF the city, watching policemen. What
they saw will be reported to the boards

ARK BOARD TO
OPPOSE SOUTH
AVENUE CLOSING
Heirs of Horace Smith F:s
tate May Be Entitled To
Return of Land.

Opposition from the members of
the park board, residents of the South
End, the heirs of the Horace Smith
estate as well as from many voters
in the second and third districts is ex-
pected tonight when the petition of
the Crane Co. to close the lower end
of South avenue from Iranistan ave-
nue. to Barnum dyke and the Barnum
dyke from Iranistan avenue to Wal
demere avenue comes up for a hear
ing. This is the second time this
petition has been before the common
council.
The Crane Co. purchased the land
on both sides of South avenue from
the Horace Smith Estate Inc, the
heirs to which are Horace W. Smith,
Mrs. William Demerest and Mrs. John
Foster of New York. They are also
the principal stock holders in the
Wheel & Wood Bending Co. in John
street. About eighteen months ago
when the Crane Co. petitioned the
common council TO-. permission to
close the street it did not own the
property known as the mud flats at
the foot of South avenue. This is
the property which extends along the
Barnum dyke. The Crane Co. since
has acquired the property but the
Horace Smith Estate Inc. holds a
mortgage on it,
ms horace HoAI11ll eSldCe 1ieLS gave
that part of South avenue to the city
and some residents of the South end
claim that it was given with the un-
derstanding that it was always. to be
used as a public highway or else the
land was to revert to the estate. The
attorneys for the Smith estate are now
looking up this matter.
A petition against the closing. of the
street has been circulated and has the
signatures of more than 100 residents
of the South end. This petition will
be presented to the council tonight
The park commission has a plan to
continue South avenue through to
meet the park drive way which it is
proposed to extend to Fayerweather's s
Island Alderman Harry A Lewis
and John Renchi of the Third district
are also advocating a bridge from the
foot of Howard avenue to join the
Fayerweather's Island boulevard.

ira police guards on the Brooklyn and
Manhattan Bridges yesterday when

''The courts iexpert knowledge of

years of observation of the game as
order had been entered it would have
been, if not destructive, at least vi
tally Injurious to the game of base
ban
mo matter what decision had beeS
made, neither side would have emerg-
ed from court victorious. After TAX
ing counsel with my own judgment I
decided that the court had the right
or at least the discretion to postpone
decision in the case, and. this was
done.
t'I want to say that in all the pre-
1iminary evidence and the various ar
guments. when the records we're gone
over with a fine toothcomb to find
something injurious to the other side,
not the slightest evidence was pre-
sented to cause the most suspicious
persons to impugn the honor. of the
game or of any of the individual
players"
