Enright Order
Abolishes z More
Police Details
E'E1onest" Dan Costigan Is
Also Deprived of Two
of His Aids

Police Commi ssioner Enright yester-
day continued his reorganization of the
department by abolishing the social
welfare squad and the temporary de-
tail of 262 policemen in plainclothes
duty, both pet organizations of ex-
Commissioner Arthur Woods.
The social welfare squad was formed
for the purpose of teaching foreign
born residents that the police are not
enemies, but their friends. The eighty
men who composed it were assigned to
patrol duty yesterday.
From now on Ellen O'Grady, Fifth
of this work, which will be carried on
under her direction by lieutenants and
sergeants past the retiring age. Cap
tain McGrath, former head Of the
squad, may be assigned to Deputy Com
missioner O'Gradv's office to assist her.
The detail of plainclothes men elm
mated by Commissioner Enright was
called by Mr.. Woods "crilne prevention
officers" Their work was a modification
of the old ward man system. All except
twenty-five of them will 60 back into
uniform. The remainder will be as
signed to the Detective Bureau.
The Police Commissioner transferred
Sergeant Floyd Horton and Detective
Patrick Donnelly from the staff of In
spector "Honest Dan" Costigan to pre-
cincts, convincing Headquarters thai
Inspector Costigan's days are numbered
under the new regime.
1t was pointed out that having as
signed Costigan to do two mems work
in heading the vice squad and con-
manding the First Inspection District
at the same time, Commissioner Err
right had paved the way for his redIc-
ton on the ground Of incapacity. With
the additional handicap Of the loss Of
two Of his right hand men. Costigan s
position would become intolerable, it
was said.
Horton had been tower of strength
in the vice squad since its organiza-
tion and was particularly useful in in
vestigating charges of dishonesty maze
against policemen. He was sent o the
Fifth Street police station, in Brook
lyn.
Donnelly had worked with Costigar
for years recently as member Of the
"hotel squad" His assignment TO tho
West Forty Street, police sta
ton in uniform carries with it u re
duction in pay of 5000 year.

a woman and four men were burned
to death yesterday morning in fire
which swept through an oldtime sail

smoke. A dozen others, who we're
slightly injured by jumping, were

The fire was discovered by John Sigel,
who had room on the second floor

the children brought home stray cat

Sgels promptly included the waif in
their household, and it saved their lives
yesterday.
Cat Among the Rescued
It's persistent walls awoke Sigel, who
got up grumblingly and opened the
door into the hall to let the cat out.
Flames filled the hallway and were
lcaping up the stairs. Sigel helped his
family out a window to the roof of a
fruit stand, the cat. tightly claspcd in
the arms of one of the children, being
among the first rescued. Then he
yelled ar alarm, which aroused other
occupants Of the house and caused a
passer-by to turn in fire alarm.
When the tiremen arrived several
unconscious forms lay on the sidewalk
beneath the lodging house windows.
Street, and Fireman Nj. J. O'Donohue,
of Hook and Ladder 10. took his scaling
ladder to n second story window of the
adjoining building, at 314 Pearl Street,
whence he swung across to q window
of the lodging house and brought down
several persons. Firemen Morris and
Mallen, of Hook and Ladder Is, brought

"lf women Judges sat on cases af
fecting minors, as they are sure to do
in q few years, my boy would not have
been found guilty" said Mrs. Louise
Barenburg, mother Of sixteen-year
Paul Chapman, yesterday, at her
Brooklyn home. Mrs. Barenburg was
suffering from the shock of Fridays
verdict of murder in the first degree
brought in against her son.
"This is sad time for women to
live in,' she declared. "Many Of us have
to work to support ourselves and our
children under the same conditions as
men; and yet we have not the power to
make laws affecting ourselves and our
children. But the day is not far dis
tant when we viii all have a voice, and
then such thing as judging an unde-
veloped boy, incapable of seeing clear
ly, by the same standard as we Judge an
adult will be unthought of in court
Of law"
Paul, it will be remembered, was re-
garded by the District Attorney as in
full possession of his reasoning facul
ties, and to look at him casually one
would agree with the District Attorney.
Although only sixteen years of age,
paul's physique is that Of grown man.
"My boy, Paul. his mother con-
tinued, grew physically out Of all

developed at the expense of his brain.

Every morning at quarter past

Can t Stop Making
Vinegar a Minute
Days Closing Would Mean Loss
of Six Months

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Q. One
vinegar factory here has been in COW
tinuous operation twenty-four hours
day every day of the year for tifty-two
years and another for forty years.
This fact was brought cut when the
owners of the factories appealed from
the Fuel Administrators order closing
industries for certain periods to save
coal.
Vinegar experts testified that to stop
making vinegar would ruin the tanks
in which it is manufactured. Alcohol
is placed in tanks lined and packed
with beech shavings. If tie generating
process is halted the shavings are dried
out or burned up and are useless.
To stop for day would mean closing
six months, said large manufacturer
Much of the present output of vinegar
here is used in making explosives.

THE PARK
MOVEME

In the early days the value Of open
spaces in towns was quite commonly
realized a great many OF the old
towns have their large and generous
parks and Commons in the very NUM-
cipal centeres. When a town is first
laid out this costs nothing. The orig.
inal settlers can just as well leave an
open center and build their homes
around it.
There was a period some years ago
when the public was indifferent TO the
need for parks and central breathing
spots. People were anxious only to
get business and other buildings put
up. Nine-tenths OF our modern towns
have grown up without any open cen
trail areas.
Trees and foliage are health
measure. They absorb dangerous
gases and lower temperature in hot
weather. The sight Of a city park full
Of beautiful sreenery is an inspiration
TO every tired man and woman. 1t
makes every parcel OF real estate
more valuable.
The central park areas that such a
town as Elko ought to have, and
might just as well have had. would
cost a prohibitive price today. But
it is not too late to plan for future
growth. There is lots of land avail
| able today at moderate expense. They
could be made into refreshing beauty
| spots, a delight to residents and al
lurement to home seekers.
No city is too big and no village too
small to take action on park develop
mcnt. The wealthy and growing tow
should realize that open park space.
are an essential in modern town de
vclopment. II IS worth paying a very
large price to get them. The it'll,
town should reflect that open spaces
near its center can be had for it'll,
| expense now, and that they tend t
municipal attractiyencss and promot,

THE MOVIES
AS EDUCATORS

The value of moving pictures as n
popular educator are being shown
now in the war work. During the
first few months after we entered the
war, there was complaint that a great
many people did not understand what
II was all about. They begrudged
any sacrifices, because they had not
read the war news carefully. and had
no conception Of the empowering
reasons that dragged US into the con-
flict.
There always is a large class OF
people who are inaccessible to the
ordinary educational forces. Some Of
them left school so early that read
ing is a little difficult to them. Others
read the newspapers principally for
the sporting and personal news, and
find serious discussions as dull as a
school book. There are n great many
people who were saying six months
ago that anything that happened 5000
miles away could not possibly touch
or affect their lives.
The movies have shown the way to
wake these people up. When they see
the horrors of war, the treacheries OF
the enemy. the cruelty of the Hun sol
diers. depicted in actual life on the
screen. It begins to come home TO
them. They begin to see that Arem.
lea is in deadly peril, and must fight,
not merely to end injustice any tyr
amy. but for the security of our own
homes. We do not want our defense
less land turned into Belgium nor
our wives and daughters to be made
slaves.
The movie theatre people are then
entitled to much credit for the prom
inence they are now giving to war
plays. 1t should be good business tc
put these pictures on. as people are
thronging to see them and learn what
the war really means. It also sug
gests how movies pictures could be
used to convey other community ideas
and to help on all sorts OF good civic
causes.
