EXTENSIVE PUNCHING.

The ac- cused were arrested at an early hour this morning by Officer Dennis O'Keefe. Pleas of not guilty were entered by the accused. From the tes- tjmony offered, it appeared as if Borkofski was looking for trouble last evening, and on encountering Bankowslki delivered his ultimatum which contained a challenge for a fsticuff exhibition. B0rkOfski, being the aggressor, was fined $5 and costs while suspension of judgment was Bankowskis reward

"FRIGKT'FULNESS'
 IN POLICE DEPT.
Detectives Try to Intimidate Wit-
 neSSeS in Vice Probe

New York, Aug. 1S.-Seven per- sons. including a woman and five de- tectivcs. were before the grand jury yesterday in connection with the dis trict attorneys investigation of vice and it's white slave ramifications, James E. Smith, assistant district at torney, said that three detectives had been subpOenaed because of their al- leged interference with witnesses.
 The detectives who testified were Lamour, Winter, CObfroy and Con- way, Of the Third Inspection District, and Neville of the East SiXty-seventh street station. Certain detectives are accused of having followed and searched Leo Alpern, after he left the West Thirt1cth street police station, whitncr he had gono to get a knife held there following his arrest. AL perm pleaded guilty to his share In the white slave tEatllc, and sentence Wan suspended on him.
 "rhe policemen admitted to Lieu ;onent Coatigan," said Mr, Smith, that Detective Foeley had said that Alpern had u blackjack, but tho funny part about 1t Is that Fceley never bothered when Aipern asked him for his knife and did not follow tho other detectives when Alpern left the police station,

CcnsOring the Movies.

"MOved doubtless by the best mo- lives in the world, but possessed of little imagination, the common cOun- cil of the city of New Britain is un- dcrtaking to seek a solution of what ever there is to the movie problem by means of censorship. At a meet ing of that body Wednesday evening Councilman George Landers opposed the idea and the report of the conn.,
 niittee was referred back for further
 consideration. MT. Landers contend cd that the. undertaking would be
 both expensive and futile.
 "'ThiS idea of eleVating the moving picture theaters by means of a cen sOrship leaves entirely out of consid- eration the rapidity with which these theaterS are eleVating themselves through the force of the public opin
 ion eXerted by their regular patrons. The audiences are calling more and more for higher class pictures and re- tusing more and more to patrOnize pictures of a lower order. The result
 is that today the best actors on the stage, male and female, are being uti- lized by the film corporations to raise l the standard. Cheaply conducted the- aters which seek to appeal to the pas 1 sjions of an audience are becoming i fewer and fewer, while the self-re- specting houses are finding their pat ronage steadily larger. Already, in fact, the evils which it is sought to i cure have cured themselves.
 'In all such matters it is safer to trust to the great common sense of moving picture patrons than to a board of censors who invariably grow
 redantic and fussy with prolonged service. The solution that is required
 will come from the heart of the great
 mass of people, not from the impress
 sions of a committee thought to know
 1nore than their neighbors but as a
 matter of fact not knowing more As | between the two, we will cast in our 1 tot with the masses"

ernment tug at a safe distance away were markers who were to observe how close the big projectiles dropped to the target and also to take photo graphs of the waterspout to show the accuracy or inaccuracy of the gunners in the pit five miles away.
 At 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon, the last salvo was fired. Officers in the observation stations at Fort TOtten and on the tug watched waters about the marker Those at Fort Totten used glasses and as each one knew exactly where the shot, if properly aimed, should hit they focused their glasses on the proper spot before the shots were fired. It was said they saw the geyser almost exactly where it ought to be a few seconds after the firing of four of the six salvos
 During the recorded firing an aero plane scared above Fort Totten. The aviator apparently had forgotten to read the papers yesterday morning and did not know that the big guns were to be tested. The aviator re- mained above the fort but few mlll- utes and then headed for Mlneola.

One detective was accused by Jenny Price of beating her after she had testified in the graft investigation. Her home was broken into and jewels and wearing apparel taken away. The district attorney be- lieves that few members of the po- lice department still believe they can work the system to frighten wit nesses. But the district attorney will protect these witnesses and punish all who interfere. sam the Pedlar' will be placed on trial before Judge Ro- saIsky early next week.
