Is Courts Decision

The 12O persons, including some wom-
en-, arrested in raids Saturday night
were discharged in police courts yester-
day for lack of evidence, the police were
criticized severely for the arrests and,
in one case, action charging false arrest
and a suit against Police Commissioner
Enright was shreatened.
Magistrate rockingham, before
whom ninety of the victims of the raids
were arraigned in jefferson Market
Court charged with disorderly conduct.
said that the police had neither reason
nor good excuse for making the raids
and keeping the ninety persons arrested
in jail Saturday night, and he also took
an opportunity to tell one of the detec-
tives to take word to his inspector from
the magistrate that the latter consid-
cred it unnecessary to station police
man at one OF the places raided. as was
reported had been done.
In Washington Heights court Magis-
trate LEVINE discharged twenty-threc
fashionabiy dressed women and seven
men who were charged with gambling.
They had been arrested in an apart
ment in West 10th Street.
Threat to Sue Enrieht
1t was Nicholas G. Psaki, an attor-
ney, of 1882 Broadway, who threatened
to sue Commissioner Enright. Attor-
ney Psaki said he represented a
wealthy Greek-American organization
and he was in Jefferson Market Court
to defend sixteen persons arrested in

t:fed they had heard men swapping

Of the restaurant had found a deck of

evidence Attorney Psaki asked Magls-
trate buckingham if there wasn't any
citizens.
Guess not much," snapped the mag
istrate.
What grounds were these men ar
rested on % Psaki asked.
"You heard the statement that they

matter to the highest court in the
country. We will go the limit to break

ago, and, although Mag strate Nc

one of the pr soners because there was
no evidence that any one of them had
been disorderly, it has been raided
again, and the police say they intend
to keep on raiding it. 1t is an out
rage"
Then the magistrate said:
"All discharged. Unnecessary arrest"
Police Brutal Is Charge
Forty negroes arrested by Detectives

at poolroom at 241 West Forty-frst
Street told the court that they had
been lined up against a wall and pum-
meled by the police. One of them,
]. c. Mason, booth 'ack, said that he
had been thrown to the floor and black
lacked. Marks on his face and BODY
indicated that he had been on the
wrong side of fight with somebody.
He said that a detective had said to
him when he was being attacked:
"Now, you'll be a witness against us
again. will you? Well teach you to go
as character witness"
Attorney James Mayer, of 119 West
Tenth Street, said:
while these police were engaged in
ing law abiding citizens, they might
better have been looking for hold
Only few hours previously a few
blocks away there had been hold-up
In which one person was killed and two
wounded by thugs"
Detective Devine to d the court there
had been an anonymous complaint
against the place, and that he and his
fellow detectives had heard boisterous
noises there before the raid.
John Cross, proprietor of the. poor.
room, complained to the court that the
police had taken his keys, had left the
lights burning all night and that po-
liceman had been stationed there.
Magistrate Frothingham ordered De.

Whitznar, Says People Get
Kind of Rule They Want

Charles S. Whitman, former Cover
nor, indirectly asked the Y. M. C. A. to
support his investigation of the city
administration, when he addressed 900
members and visitors yesterday at the
West Side Y. M. G. A. Mr.. Whitman
said that any expose of officials and
their work must be futile unless the
people really wanted conditions bet
tered. When Mr.. Whitman arose to
speak his audience rose also, and ap-
plauded for three minutes.
"A city cannot be made good by Of
ficers," he said, although it may be
made bad, and doubtless it could be
made better than it is. But the Of
ficials are not chiefly to blame. The
most brutal thing about a prize fight
is not the exhibition in the ring, but
the audience. We roast stage per-
formances and the bedroom plays
which have degraded our theaters, but
the actors are not the most indecent,
it is the audience who do the real
harm to the city.
ut is so with government. If an
administration of various Offices and
departments is such as to cause con-
Germ, and If this continues Indefinite
iy, 1t is not the fault primarily Of the
police organization or officials, but the
people, who always get just what they
want in the end.
Moreover, it is easy to condemn the
police official who takes money. but
what do you think of the business
house which gives it? Offenses are
only a symptom Of disease, and we can
merely let the people know where the
trouble is and what it is. That's all
we can do.
1--WE have not the worst government
in the world, and human life is not
unsafe on the streets, as one might
believe from some reports. Why. T
met man who said that he was afraid
to come to New York"

Hits Private
Detectives
(contlnued from pass ens)

to those who have been investigating
the subject, began with the present
crime wave. The agencies and bu-
.'eaus and secret service organizstio
,acked by private individuals have
mushroomed in every part of the city
until there is now hs rdly police pre-
cinct in the five boroughs without at
least one.
Former Policemen Start Agencies
Not few of the agencies have been
started by men who have resigned from
the Police Department for that pur-
pose.
One of these private detectives, who
until a short time ago was a member
of the uniformed force, said to a
Tribune reporter yesterday:
why worry along on cops pay
when you can go into the private de-
tective business and clean up? / make
more money in a week now than did
in month on the force"
This entire situation will be the sub
ject OF searching inquiry on the part
of Mr.. Whitman and his assistants this
week.
From person attached to the for
yesterday that Mr.. Whitman will seek
the indictment Of another police cap
tain to-day or tomorrow, and before
the end of the week will ask for true
bills against still another captain, an
inspector and several detectives.
Other developments expected in the
next few days include sensational dis
closures in connection with the data
placed before Mr.. Whitman a week ago
by Meier Steinbrink, special counsel
to the Board of Estimate, who has
been retained to investigate certain
city contracts.
Mr.. Whitman had apparently recov-
cred yesterday from the cold that KEEP,
him from his Office Saturday.

were said to have sent request to
Governor Morrison at Raleigh for
state troops. The nearest troops were
at Henderson, sixteen miles away.
Quarrel Began Over Apples
Most of the members of the mob
were residents of Norlina. The negroes
are held in default of bonds ranging
from 5000 to $1,000
The race rioting was the outgrowth
Of widespread i'll feeling between the
races. 1t had its origin in a quarrel
over a trade involving ten cents worth
of apples.
The wounded are:
Jerome Hunter, negro; H. A. Inscoe,
white; Henry Jones, negro; Robert
Moss, negro; A. ]. Raney, white, rail-
road Inspector; Raby Trailor, white:
church, white, railroad engineer.
The trouble started last Tuesday,
according to a statement tonight by
Chief Of Police Fleming, of Norlina.
Plummer Bullock, negro, the police
chief said, went into grocery store
Tuesday to buy ten cents worth of
apples from Brady Trailor, a clerk.
I. The negro professed dissatisfaction
with this purchase and wanted his
money back. The exchange was efv
fected after some. words. whereupon
the 1ne m negro r. cursed and threatened
The Traitors, Chief Fleming said,
received word Saturday night that the
negroes were organizing to make good
Plummer Bullock's threat About a
score of the blacks, the chief added
gathered at the railroad station early
yesterday with shotguns. Raby Trailor,
brother Of Brady, approached Matthew
Bullock, apparently the leader of the
negroes, and asked him what the
trouble was about.
Negro Fires First Shot
While they were talking. according to
evidence brought out at q preliminary
hearing late yesterday, jerome Hunter,
negro, fired at Trailor from close
range. The white man fell and Hun
ter, it was testified, shot him twice as
he lay on his back. The shooting then
became general.
RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 24.-Governor
Morrison was advised shortly after
midnight that groups Of masked men
were assembling in Warrenton, where
the negroes implicated in the Norlina
disorders were being held, and that
violence was apparently impending.
The Governor directed that addi-
tonal officers be sworn in and the
prisoners protected at all hazards.
The Adjutant General was instructed
to have company of militia ready to
proceed to Warrenton. At that hour
no request for troops had been received
from Warrenton.
