VICE PROTECTION"
LAID TO n. Y. COPS
Prosecutor Charges at Least
500 Dives Are Sanctioned
BY Police.

NEW YORK. March 5.-Further
startling revelations In New York's
police scandal were made today when
Assistant District Attorney James Il.
Smith announced he had evidence 10
show that at least 800 disordeTly
houses are being operated under po-
lice protection in the district just
street to l09th street.
Three inspection districts OF the
police department are involved, Smith
said, although witnesses held thus
far are concerned principally with
alleged graft and bribery in the
Fourth. or old "Tenderloin" inspec-
tion district.
Smith announced that the case
against Detective John ]. Gunson, in
dicted on charges OF graft and &C
ceptinE brides, was strengthened, and
that other policemen charged with
forcing women OF the streets to share
their earnings with them would be In
dicted early next week.
Lawyer Involved.
More than n dozen members OF one
district are involved, together with a
prominent lawyer who, it is asserted,
has been aiding the police in reaping
large gains through the efforts OF
women.
Not in many years have women
openly accused an officer, as did
Rebecca Msiyado, on whose testimony
Gunson was indicted. Her story OF
living with Gunson, a man with a
wife and q child; of showering him
with gifts worth more than $4,000;
OF giving him huge sums OF money
and dividing her Illicit profits with
him daily: Of refusing to go to Lon
don with him to continue her voca-
ton there, and OF his persecution OF
her when she tried to reform, makes
new chapter in the annals OF New
York crime.
Mr.. Smith said his electives were
trying to locate three women who are
important witnesses.
The women are believed to have
been spirited away and kept outside

Three Hundred Mile Race Should

Question.
70 TAKE UP .245 POUNDS

Interesting and valuable light is likely
TO weight-carrying ability by the cavalry
endurance test next season, now that the
sponsors for the contest have raised the
weights TO 245 pounds and made them
alike for all competitors big or little. The
burden last year was 200 pounds. 1t was
raised in response to the suggestion of
Iarmy officers that in a cavalry test each
horse ought to carry the weight of the
average cayalryman and his equipment.
Major Guy V. Henry. Colonel c. T. George
land Major Henry Leonard. who helped
Ito frame the conditions, said this would
be about 145 for the rider and 100 pounds
for equipment. Some Of the members OF

adjust the weight according to height, as
was done under the old time racing rule
Of weight for inches. but the proposal was

Yet there are plenty of experienced horse
men who would choose one not above 152 .
Hands for a long ride like the endurance
test. The records of that three hundred
mile race last season seem to confirm
this view. none of the four placed horses
having measured more than + hands.
while none of the eight that finished the

there will be series OF preliminary trials

TIP OF THE TAIL
TO WAC THIS DOG
Committee of Board Of Review MAJ
Override Congress of National
Trotting Association.

Critics of the clique in control of
the National Trotting Association are
calling attention to the process by which
it is proposed to repeal the Objectionable
time allowance. rule which was made a
part OF the harness racing code at the
December congress of members. On that
occasion committee which had been
previously appointed to consider and rec
ommend proposed changes in the rules Of
racing made report in favor of the rule
in question, whereupon the matter was
submitted to vote, and a majority OF the
members represented by delegates or by
proxies voted for its adoption. Now, with
in a little more than month after this
apparently deliberate legislation by those
constituting the association, the president
has called for a meeting of the Board
of Review, which is in the nature of a
board of directors, to choose "a committee
with power to revise or amend the time
allowance rule or in other words undo
the work of the congress of members. II a
committee thus created and clothed with
auth ority by the Board of Review can
so unceremoniously override the action
OF the association which created the
Board of Review, what is the use of
keeping UP the worn-out fiction that a
real National Trottng Association is still
in existence, these critics ask.
