. PUCETOWATE " PONE EPEDENT More Booths May Be Install- ;ed if Four in Use Are i Success. BELL SUMMONS OFFICERS Increased Protection Planned for Suburbs in New Police Method. More emergency telephone stations will be established by the police de- partment in suburban sections.if the four put in service today prove suc- cessful, Maj. Daniel Sullivan, super- intendent, declared today. Maj. Sullivan is confident the booth system of policing large outlying eections will result in much greater protection for those newly built-up areas, where a poiiceman’s beat is so large as to be unwieldy. H Each booth, the locations of which were given in The Star yesterday, is equipped with a desk and telephone, | connected with the police headquar- ters switchboard. Here is an example of how the booths will increase po- lice efficiency: A footpad is discovered entering a home. The family calls the police department, and the operator in a flash relays the message to the booth in that locality. From mid- night until 8 o'clock in the morning there will be a motor cycle officer on dity in the booth, and another cruis- ing the surrounding neighborhood. The man in the booth will speed to; the source of trouble, leaving a memorandum for the other officer when he passes the booth on his T nrough roughout the day a patrolman will be in the booth with & motor cycle man riding about the vicinity. | NEW BEACH DELAYED.

Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and &rounds. announced yesterday, but Wwork will be continued so as to have the beach ready early next season.

The first plan W3s to open the beach the 1st of July, or the 1st of August, and run a frée ferry boat, the Bartholdi, for the accommodation of the public. PR s i e ARMY OFFICER ACQUITTED MINEOLA, N.

KEITH’S —Florence Walton. Florence Walton, the popular and artistic_baliroom dancer, heads the bill at Keith's this week. Miss Wal- ton has made her number an excel- lent one by the addition of Maximil- lian Dolin, the Russian violinist, wh entertains while the dancer is chang- Ing costumes. Mr. Dolin's three solos demonstrated conclusively that he is one of the best violinists on the vaudeville stage. The dancing 'num- bers of Miss Walton, who is assisted by Leon Leitrim, the “Walton trot”, the Viennese waltz, and the one-step whirl, all of which were danced to the full satisfaction.of the critics in the audience, for several curtain calls rewarded Miss Walton and her little company. ’ Another fine danecing number is of- ferred by Willlam Seabury and com- pany, elaborate scenery being used with telling effect. The company in- cludes four young women, each'a dancer of grace and acrobatic ability. They are costumed with excellent taste and beauty. Mr. Seabury is one of the cleverest of dancers and his intricate steps are made admirably enjoyable by the grace with which they are executed. The audience glfia the organization many. curtain calls. Other pleasing numbers include Joseph K. Watson in a monologue of entertaining humor and originality; Grace Hayes, in songs that carry her over for the second week; Elizabeth Kennedy and Miiton Berle, young- (Mory, me Tl ast #1000, AND Following ‘a general divcussion’ of sters, in clever acting and imitations: | the part the women are to take in BUT A CAR COSTS AT /s 1S A FRIEADLY AR, A FRIENDS | Gonna seLL T ToMe ) |l FoR TEN BUCKS!
