Cross had two ser geants and patrolman attached to the Atlantie Avenue Station before Deputy Police Commissioner Farrell in the trial room, in Police. Headquarters, to-day, on charges of violation of rules of the department. The case was one of the most interesting from police standpoint that has been tried by the Deputy Commissioner since be assumed charge of the force and may lead to radical changes within the next few weeks.

Patrolman George W. Bates was responsible, in the main, for all the trouble. Sergeant John Blaney was placed in temporary command of the precinct when Captain Kenny was deposed from office by Commissioner MeAdoo. Bates was found on post, May 17, acting in a manner which Roundsman Feta to bring him into the tion house and charge him with being der the influence of liquor. Sergeant John J.

Bardon was at the desk and when roundsman told why he had brought Bates off his post he failed, as the rules of the partment require, to smell the officer's hreath, have him Walk a chalk-line and dulge in otber "stunts" to ascertain condition. An hour after Bates' delivers to sergeant at the desk. Dr. Sullivan, of the police surgeons, was summoned the station house to examine thes man. The doctor, according to his tex nony tore the Deputy Commissione to-day, required the policeman to stand on one foot for a long period; then walk up and down the muster-room for several times.

The roundsman said that when he found Bates on post, the officer was playing with a number of children in the street, slapping them on the back and acting it he had indulged in intoxicants. The accused officer produced four witnesses, all of whom testified that on the night in question, Bates appeared just as sober as he did to-day. A physician was among the witnesses in the officer's behalf. He said that he had walked from Bates' post to the station house with the roundsman and Bates, and that the latter showed indication of having been under the influence of liquor. The deputy commissioner, howerer, informed Bates that he believed all the evidence presented against him, and fine him twenty days' pay and two additional days' for being off post.

Then Sergeant Bardon was placed on trial for hating failed to put Bates under a test to ascertain his condition, The sergeant explained that he he had complied with the department rules -by watching Bates walk some eighteen feet and showing no eridence of being. intoxicated. Inspector Cross, who appeared as complainant against Bardon, at this point read rule bearing ou such He said the trouble in this borough was that captains and sergeants of police made attempt to examine officers who are brought into station houses charged with intoxication. He added that the officers the matter entirely to the police surgeon, and that by the time the surgeon generally arrives. the officer has recovered sufficiently to fool him.

Deputy Commissioner Farrell told the inspector that it was up to him to change the custom. Inspector Cross said that his attention had been called to the case by a accident.

Inspector Cross said, in reference to the accused officers of the Atlantic avenue stathat the rules had been thoroughly explained to every sergeant: in the departwhen he had them at his office some ago.

He said that there was no exon whatever for the negligence of the two sergeants. GARDNER TO HELP BYRNES?

FERRY PURCHASE, Probable That Mayor Will Discipline the Aldermen.

HIS VOTE NEEDED ON PLAN. Me Clellas la Anxious to Carry Out the Pledge He Made During Recent Campaiga. Alderman John T. MeCall found it convenient to remain awAy from the meeting of the Sinking Find Commission 10-day, and consequently the matter of municipalthe Thirty-ninth street ferry in delaing layed for another week. Last week, Acting President Sullivan, of the Board, of Aldermen.

stayed away, and the Commission had to adjourn without taking aux action, because the resolation iu connection with the ferry requires a unanimous vote. Mayor McClellan and Controller Grout are losing patience over these dilatory tactien, and it is. pot regarded as unlikely that 'Alderman McCall will be brought np with a rolind turn -by the powers in Tammany Hall The Mayor has no other alternative but. to bring pressure to bear Alderman McCall ipasmuch that the upon municipalization of the ferry is campaign pledge to which the Mayor, committed himself two years ago, and which has not yet been redeemed. He realizes that in view of the approaching campaign it is of the utmost importance that the city.

carry out this improvement. which is of: more than ordinary interest to. the people of South -Brooklyn. There is absolutely no reason, in the minds of those who are contersant with the plan of municipalizing. the terry for the attitude which.

Alderman McCall has assumed, He has been a member of the Sinking Fund Commission from the first time, the proposition -was -brought, before that body. Yet when he- came back from his Western trip and was called upon: to pass upon, it, he roted in the negative on the ground that he had not been fully informed (as to the details, although he voted favorably when the matter was originally: brought before the Commission three gears ago. "This delay in placing the 'Thirty-ninth street ferry under municipal control and operation is rapidly becoming a public scandal." said a prominent city official today. "There is not the. slightest excuse for the delay, unless it is prompted by other motive.

Alderman McCall was a member of the under the Low administration and he is just as well informed of this municipalization plan the other members of the COP STOPPED THE FIGHT. Amecican and Italian Lads. in Fistic Combat When Officer Sud. denly Appears, Malbone street, in the neighborhood of Albany avenue, was in a state of great excitement last night. Practically the entire populace of the vicinity turned out to view a fistic combat between -a young American and a son of "da sunny The police failed to view the matter with.

the same delight that the populace did, however, and one of the contestants was arrested. The other managed to escape in the crowd. A warrant is out for him. and it is expected he will be caught very soon. The boy arrested gave his name as Joseph Hoffman, 20 years old, of: No.

1408 Bergen street. He told the police that his opponent was one Tony Gentile. He said the two belonged to the same club amt that, about a week ago, they got into a quarrel after Tony had insulted him. The Italian, Hoffman said, often expressed a desire to settle the matter by a fight and Hoffman as frequently refused. Last night, he said, he met Tony who again challenged him.

wasn't feeling very well," said Hoffman, "but I thought I'd go him and make him stop his blowing." Malbone street was picked out as a convenient spot on account of its loneliness and because the police seldom visit the place. The report of the coming fight got around, however; and the two boys: had a mob of spectators about them, Officer MeGarry, of the Atlantic avenue station, saw the crowd from his post, sereral blocks away, and he quickly put an end to the proceedings. When Hoffman was arraigned in the Gates Avenue Court, Magistrate Furlong expressed an unwillingness to one without the other, so he ordered a warrant issued against Tony. Hoffman was -paroled until Thursday. "CITY RECORD'S" INNOVATION.

Throws Off the Shackles of Tradition and Uses Illustrations--Twenty. seven Brooklyn Views. Borough President Martin W. Littleton is responsible for a startling innovation in municipal journalism. It is one that is.

so wholly unprecedented as to be almost incredible. It is the introduction of illustrations, and very good ones, too, in the "City Record." For the first time in the thirtythree sears that the city's daily paper has been in existence, the dreariness of its pages are relieved by the use of half-tone cute. The illustrations are all of Brooklyn subjeets: They are used in the report of the Borough President for the year ending Dee. 31, 1904, which is published to-day for the first time. Most of the illustrations are designed to show various improvements that have been made in Brooklyn during the past sear.

Some of them depict, Instead of improvements, the need of them. The euta number twenty seven in all and range from a view of Coney's Bowery to the maze of scaffolding that surrounded the dome of the Kings County Court House for the better part of a sear. The concensus of opinion among these who are in the hahit of perusing the monotonous vistas of closely-set agate type that adorn the columns of the "City Record" is that the new departure is a most commendable one. Not a few of the readers think that a vote of thanks shonid be extended to Brooklynites for their enterprise in making the Record" somewhat: lighter reading than has been its wont.

Telephone, 4640 Main: BROOKLYN GUARDSMENWHAT THEY -ARE DOING The suggestion made by a prominent military official, who visited Brooklyn several menthe ago, that a series of maneurers participated in by Brooklyn troops at a place like Prospect Park Parade would be a great educator, to the suardamen here in the art of warfare, now seems likely to bear fruit. Brooklyn troops, acknowledged the best in the United States, would make an excellent showing in a mimic conflict, such 05 suggested.

there branches of the services, three regiments of infantry, one heavy artillery regiment, a squadron of cavalry, a signal company, and a light hatters. The plan is to take. these organizations to, the park grounds some day during the week. Saturday will undoubtedly be the day chosen, because it would be more convenient for those who work. The plan to start the mimic battle late in the afternoon and continue it until after dark.

In this way the men would gain knowledge of both day and night fighting, Omeials here say that there is not enough ground at the park parade grounds for the assembly of all the troops in Brooklyn. Brigadier General James McLeer, com-: manding the: Second Brigade, who held similar position during the Civil War, would command the forces on one side, while probably, Col. Edward E. Britten, assistant adjutant general of the Second Brigade, would be the other commanding officer. These men are excellent soldiers and are capable of working out many perplexing meres.

It the Prospect Park grounds are tound too small for the necessary movements in the mimic battle, it is likely that an available field somewhere down on Long Island will be selected. The only drawback to taking the men out of the city is that considerable expense would be entailed. The State Legislature has not beep liberal this year with its appropriation for the maintenance of the guard, and unless an extra sum could be secured each man wold have to pay his own fare or walk. Officials of the Second Brigade and the commanders of the various Brooklyn organizations will meet some time during the summer and talk the matter over. Although the military season has, practically closed, the members of the different regiments are still looking for veernits.

At each headquarters, meeting night, over dozen is the usual number hefore the physicians for examination as to their abilits to become a soldier. The reason for the activity in the ranks is that in August the men will spend a week at Fort Terry, Plum Island. Colonel Darid E. Austen, commanding the Thirteenth. expeets to hare full complement before the start is made, and by the way recruits are coming in now, it is believed he will pet be disappointed.

Colonel. Edward E. Britton, assistant adjntant general of the Second Brigade, has been granted a three months' leave of absence. Colonel Britton sacrificed much valuable time for guard duty during the past season. Considerable time was spent in preparing paper for the henefit of guardsmen, which was read before two regiment It was called the "Use of Troops in Civil Disorder from the Legal and Tactical Staudpeint." The paper was also read at the annual meeting of the National Guard Association at Albany, early in the spring.
