JUDGE BACKS ENRIGHT
AGAINST SOCIALIST
Ban on Foreign Languages in
Street Meetings Upheld.

at is my belief that the courts should
not interfere with the discretion of the
Police Commissioner in establishing
rules for the preservation OF public peace
and ORDER" County Judge Mitchell May
said in Brooklyn yesterday In Diminishing
a suit for false arrest brought by Louis
z. Goldberg, a Socialist. against Police
Commissioner Enright and Adam Klatz.
police lieutenant of the Brownsville pre-
clnct.
Goldberg, who is the Socialist nominee
for Justice OF the Seventh District Mu-
ncipal Court In Brooklyn. was speaker
at an open air meeting at Dumont and
Sheffield avenues, Brooklyn, on October
A. 1919. He spoke in Yiddish. thereby
violating an order issued by Police Com
missioner Enright prohibiting addresses
in foreign languages at open air meet
ings. 1t did not apply TO political meet
ings.
Goldberg was arrested and later dis
charged. His counsel contended that
Commissioner Enright had no specific
power under the law to prohibit a mass
meeting and that the order forbiddng
the use OF foreign languages was dis
crimnatory and Illegal.
In Diminishing the action Judge May
said: within Constitutional limits
large amount Of discretion should be al
lowed to the Police Commissioner. While
| do not subscribe to the order in ques-
ton on the theory that II would be wise
to suppress the mouthings of those dis
satisfied with our Government and it's
ideals, because with the exuding of their
steam goes their punch, still my duty is
TO uphold the police where a reason can
be shown for the issuance of an order
for public safety, peace and order"

The August Additional Grand Jury, OF
which Joseph Gordon is foreman. made a
report yesterday to Judge John It. McIn-
tyre in General Sessions covering in
vestigation of automobile accidents in
this city The jury made many drastic
recommendations. including an addition
Of $500 men to the Police Department
1000 Of whom should be assigned to
traffic duty and $50 to the motorcycle
SQUAD.
Changes in State laws are recon-
mended, including the creation of the
office of Public Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles. or II that is not feasible. the
office OF Third Deputy Secretary OF
State with powers such as that possessed
by motor vehicle commissioners in other
States. 1t is also recommended that
owners throughout tho State be COM
PEELED to obtain drivers license. At
present only persons residing in New
York city are required TO have an
operators license.
Further recommendations were that
the law be so changed that those who
injure persons, not killing them out

lation of the speed of motor trucks so

pedestrians that the Manhattan Traf-
fic Court be enlarged and additional

a person has been injured or killed be
reduced from a felony 10 a misde-
meanor.
The final recommendation of the
Grand Jury, while it has nothing to do
with the motor vehicle situation, IS re-
garded as the most important of all
it calls for the creation of n Commits

sooner behind the bars than the voice
OF "Fogarty' came over the wire again,
busy with new benevolent project.
A few days ago NJ. I. Katz of 7 Pine

manager freely admitted that he drank
whiskey at the club, and said that he
bought two quarts just before the fight
started
