Catch Burglars.

Judge Mcintyre, In the Court OF Gen.
eral Sessions. yesterday denounced the
methods by which the police. particu-
larly the detectives OF the Vice Squad.
obtain convictions, after he had reversed
the conviction Of a negro accused of
being with a white woman on the street
(she was not white. 1t developed), and
after jury had reversed the conviction
Of the young woman charged with va
grancy. He also criticised the manner In
which the, Magistrates courts handle
disorderly conduct cases, declaring that
many OF these cases ARE determined IN
a careless and impru6ent way"
There must be an end to policemen
swearing away the fair name and lib
erty of women" said Judge Mcintyre.
Women are not going to be picked up
and accused unless there is genuine evil
dence TO support the charge. II the
Vice Squad would give the same atten-
ton to burglars, highwaymen, loft
thieves and such criminals as they do to
women in the streets we might have
better conditions H. this city"
The case in which the jury reversed
the findings of Magistrate Mancuso was
that of Mrs. Helen Edwards, "a years
old. who was arrested last February by
Detectives Walsh and Brady and con-
victed. Mrs. Edwards said she came to
New York last fall from Los Angeles
and was married here. Her husbands
business tok him out of the city and she
engaged a room from a newspaper ad-
vertisement
A few hours later. she said, she
learned that the place was a disorderly
house, but detectives came before she
could leave,
The jury was out but two minutes be-
fore a verdict Of acquittal was brought
in. and the foreman. Jesse Speyer Of SIC
Riverside Drive, recommended to Judge
McIntyre that the law be changed so
that women cannot be convicted on the
unsupported testimony of policemen.

STRIKE FOR 81 A DAY
Long Island City Men Also
Ask Sir Day Week.

Twenty-Five gravediggers in St
Michaels Cemetery, Long Island City,
went on strike yesterday, demanding an
increase in pay from sS.75 to 81 day
and a six day week. At the cemetery It
was said no delay was being experienced
in handling funerals, as 1t had been pos
sible to get other help.
A representative Of the cemetery said
the wages of the gravediggers had been
increased to 81 a day during the infiu-
enza epidemic. when 1t was hard to get
help and when the men had 10 work
extra hard to keep up with the burials.
Now, however, the amount of work had
fallen of and the corporation was not
able to keep ali the men employed at
the high rate of wages. 1t was thought
better to reduce the wages and thus
keep all OF the men employed.
The strikers say that other help can
not be secured by the corporation.

person to regain normal strength,
energy. ambition and endurance.

time - seven a day, until health,
