 IChief Adamson and Officer Malone ideny striking the youth or abusing | him. Chief Adamson in talking of the case stated that he has perhaps lon the police force and he has not found it necessary at any time to beat any one up.
 However the Polish residents took Iup the youngsters case and decided to hold a mass meeting to talk the thing over and decide on what ac- tion they woul dtake. Walter Biele- ski president of the Polish-Amreican Citizens club called the meeting last might in Military hall. He spoke in Polish but he was reported to have lstated that he suspension of Chief Adamson would be demanded in a petition to be presented to the board |of warden and burgesses, presum- |ably at the next board meeting which will be on Monday night. The club it was stated will not hire counsel but insetad has named committee of fifteen to handle the matter. The contents of the petition to be presented to the borough board would not be divulged by the offi- cers of the society. They stated that the petition was not in the form which they desired to have it and that they would make some changes. It was also stated that he society preferred to have the board first re- |ceive the petition before the con- tents were made public. Stanley Bandursky also addressed the meet ing in his native tongue. It was c1i ho 1,a of acter of the boy and his family and thought that an injustice had been done. Last nights attack seemed to all be directed at Chief Adamson. Granica it was stated by the police showed no signs of injury when he appeared before Judge Tolles the next morning in juvenile court Mrs Granica, the youths mother who went to the aid of her son, also com plains that she was pushed by the Eoff1cers and that spot on her chest was made black and blue.
 The officers emphatically deny that they handled the woman roughly. The gathering last night was loath to discuss the matter with members of the press, stating that they pre- ferred the thing to first be presented to the proper authorities.
 The case is being widely discussed but sentiment in general seems to be with the officers as Granica put up fight and refused to obey them.
 Mrs Edna c. Fenniman child pro- bation officer was also at the meet ing. She spoke to those present and stated that they were taking the right stand in bringing the matter before the borough board. She stated that she felt sure Warden Frank T. Green and the members of the board would give the matter their carefu consideration. The hall where the meeting was held was crowded with Polish residents and others who were present to see what was going on.
