 ton.

John C. Stanley, president of the Board of Police Commissioners will have to make some explanations to the sub-c mmittee on police affairs of the Board of Apportionment before the $17,000 requested by Mayor Will son to pay the Burns detectives, is arranged for by the Board of Ap- portionment, according to Sigmund d Loewith, senior member of the board, this morning.

The Board of Ap- portionment adjourned last week subject to the call of the chair and there will be no call until MT. Stan ley is seen-''
 MT. Loewith suggested at the last meeting of the board that the ST. 600 be taken from the police depart ment appropriations. This could be done, he said, by transferring money appropriated for new policemen Twenty-four were asked for and the money was provided, but now that there is shortage of money he be- ieves the money could be obtained by postponing the appointment of new policemen.
 quest for the $17,000 asked that funds of the Department of Public Works be transferred so the bill could be paid, but the members of the Board of Apportionment are opposed to his plan. They believe the money will have to come from the police depart ment.

 Orders have been issued for strict watch on the activities of those who preach radical doctrines or assist in spreading such theories while them selves refraining from actual anar- ehistic activities.
 The "theoretioaF' and the 'parlor Bolsheviki'' are to be especially ob- 5ects of the campaign. Provisionr Of the new act have greatly wldened the scope of the departments power to rid the country of aliens who stir Up discontent with guarded revolution ary doctrines
 Advocacy either of sabotage or op-
 position to all organized government

TROOPS
 ARE ON
 GUARD
Wounded Officers Are Expected To Re
 cover.

Waterbury, Conn.,, June 22-Strike conditions here seemed to have taken a turn for the better today. Luigi Scalnana, President of the New England Workers Association, the body Of unskilled workers of the brass factories who have been on strike for ten weeks, issued a mo- tice to the strikers that married men would be permitted to return to work, while single men must remain out.
 This action on the part of the one man who has had much authority over the unskilled strikers is expect ed to decrease the number of unem- ployed by many hundreds. It may have no immediate effect, however, on the strike of the machinists in the factories. The latter are now receiv- ing strike benefits and claim to be able to stay out indefinitely.
 There were no gatherings on the streets near the factories this morn ing and an observer would not note anything out of the ordinary, except that at several places state guards men were on duty. The entire city battalion of the guard was still on duty, having been called upon last night for protective service. se details were at the armory, around the electric light plant, and at the mun1c1pal buildings. The rest were held in reserve at the armory.
 There have been no street disturb ances or striker gatherings since the one at noon yesterday in which shots were fired. A hospital bulletin this morning stated that the condition of Police Lieutenant Richard LeRoy and of Lieutenant John J. Bergin of the Scovill Co.'S force, was much inn proved. Both men are expected to recover. They were shot in the riot. Half a dozen other persons were treated at the hospital for injuries
 caused by flying missiles, and it is thought that large number of strikers were attended by their fel- lows for minor hurts.
 Liberto Liso, the man alleged to have shot both Lieutenant of Police Richard LeRoy and Lieutenant John
 J. Bergin, denied having shot either of the police officers, in an ante
 mortem statement made to Coroner John T. Monzani, at St. Mary's hos pital yesterday. He did admit, how 1 evr, that he had a gun and that he | fired some shots in the air. When | brought to the hospital Liso wore a i holster attached to his belt. He stated i to the coroner that his gun was shot i out of his hand. This statement was corroborated by the fact that a bull let had shattered the little finger o1
 his right hand, and the handle o1
 his gun was broken as the result o.
 a bullet having hit it.
 | Iiso told Coroner Manzani thai when the police started to move the
 crowd yesterday one of the policemen pushed him and that he took out his gun and shot into the air.
