unanimously went on record yesterday
as opposed to the measure.
The meeting was held at Maenner-
Choir Hall, 203 East Fifty-sixth Street.
The ii 900 patrolmen who are members
of the association were represented by
1870 accredited delegates. When vote
was taken on a motion designed to get
an expression Of opinion on the Hylan-
Enright bill it resulted as follows:
Against the bill, 1870; for the bill,
none.
A number of patrolmen told Of hav-
ing been approached by detectives and
asked to sign petition favoring the
proposed law, which would protect the
Hylan-E nright detectives in their jobs,
increase their pay $1,000 year and
raise their rank. Some of the patrol
men said they had been threatened
with the vengeance of the powers that
be if they did not sign the petition and
others were promised consideration in
the way of soft berths if they did so.
A committee of the patrolmen now in
Albany was instructed to continue its
opposition to the bill as long as there
was a chance of its passage. The Uni
formed Sergeants' Association and lieu
tenants have similar committees lobby
ing to beat the measure.
it is understood that if the bill is
enacted into law Irving O'Hara, broth
er-n-law of Mayor Hylan, will be
named by Commissioner Enright as
head of the newly created detective
division.

Queer Bird Asleep in Woods
Jolts Policeman With His Card
Intimate knowledge of Home Life of Robins and
Cuckoo Displayed by Stranger Under Suspicion
Explained With Identification as Prof Ogilvie

Information lodged with Fatrolman
William Meade of the Mounted Squad
that an old man roughly clad, wearing
a tattered golf cap, had been sleeping
under tree on the wooded slope near
257th Street and Broadway, led the
officer to question a man answering
the description yesterday soon after
dawn.
The policeman watched She old man
for some time before approaching him.
He noticed that there was no move
ment on the part of his quarry, who
sat perfectly still with his legs crossed
at the foot of large tree and APP
peared to be sleeping in that posture.
When questioned the stranger said
he was observing the habits of birds,
being interested in such matters, and
that he was particularly concerned with
the domestic regime of pair Of robins
whose acquaintance he had enjoyed
for three seasons.
Warming to the subject, he, explained
that there was no end of row going
on in this robin family over the fact
that rowing female cuckoo had laid
an egg in the robins nest last year and
the male robin had made every effort
to throw it out, but had been prevented
from doing so by the female robin,
which had duly Matched the cuckoo's
egg.

Bedtime Stories
Peter Is In Tight Place
When you are in q piece that's tight
1t is no time to thinks of fright.
Peter Rabbit.
BY THORNTON ". Burgess

Boxer and Woof-Woof, the twin
cubs of Buster Bear, were having no
end of fun. They had chased Peter
Rabbit under a pile of brush and now
they were trying to catch him 1t
was even more fun than it had been
to try to catch Chatterer the Red
Squirrel in the top of tree.
But for Peter Rabbit it was no fun,
at all. The truth is, Peter was in z
tight place, and he knew it. Never
had he been more badly frightened.
1t would have been bad enough had
there been only one little Bear Two
little Bears made it more than twice
as bad.
In the first place, they were very
lively, were those two little Bears.
Peter hadn't known that little Bears
could be so lively. You see, these
were the first he ever had seen. The
way in which they ran around that
pile of brush showed how very quick
on their feet they were. Peter didn't
doubt that he could outrun them if
he could get fair start; the trouble
was to get that fair start. He wished
now that he had trusted to his LONG
legs instead of seeking shelter un-
der that pile Of brush. He had done
that in the suddenness of his fright
when the little Bears had surprised
him. 1t is Peters nature to seek a
hiding place in time of danger, and
usually this is the w1sest thing for
him to do.
II see him!" cried Boxer, pokine
his funny little head under the brush
on one side. "I'll crawl under and
drive him out to you, Wool oof!"
On the other side of the brush
rile Woof-Woo danced up and down
excitedly. "I'll get him! I'll get
himi" she cried "Drive him out,
Boxer! Drive him Quit"
"Ouch!" cried Boxer, as sharp
stick scratched his face. Hes
crawling toward the end, Woof- Wool!
Watch out!"
(Which end?" cried Woof- Wool.
running from one end to the other
and back again.
"Ouch! Wow! Pm stuck!" came the
voice Of Boxer. A minute later he
backed out. "No use; I can't get
under there" he painted. "Ill jump
