GIVEN TEN DAYS FOR TOSSING BALL IN PROSPECT PARK: Mayor Excoriates Brooklyn Officials for Sending Boys to Blackwe'l’s Island. Mayor Gaynor ix investigating to- aay} Qe riost aggravated case of all that eave recently come under his view and @ewn from |i an excoriation of “the G@unterhead police” who arrest boys for Petty offenses and jal them without getifying their parents. This is the eae of Bawin and Frederick Wein- Derger, twins, seventeen years ol, of We. 8 Frankiin street, Brooklyn, who Rave made affidavit that because they ‘were tossing tennis ball in Prospect Park on June & they were locked in a eof in the Raymond atreet jail and @ubeequently sent to spend ten days ow Biackwell's Island. ‘The complaint of the Weinberger Boys came to the Mayor In the shape @f & Joint letter, accompanied by an a@davit, to which both the boys swore. The letter, written in boyinh style and aligned by both of the twins, sets forth in unconventional phrase the facts re. fated in the aMdavit, ARRESTED FOR TOS: TENNIS LL. ‘They were tossing a “dead” tennis dal, 1, @, one that will not bounce be- ING “DEAD’ The following day they were taken before Magistrate Reynolds in the Fiat- Wash Avenue Court and while they were waiting ,to be arraigned a court Gitendant came to them and told them thelr cases could be “fixed” for %.

Mayor Gaynor after reading letter 1nd @Méavit, made the following statement: “At rat I thought only one or two wn from Gay to day find that possibly twenty in this way. Just think these ote ‘oye for tossing a soft the big field in the park NECKWEAR /Pending sentence. Bi deing not only locked up in celle in a police etation, but actually sent to the penitentiary by a Magiwtrate; and put in prisoners’ clothes. And what !s mont dreadful of all, think of a Magistrate doing such a thing. “I am appointing @ batch of Magis- trates today. I trust none of them will ever be capable of such a thing, Those two boys were actually @ent to the penl- tentlary and put in prisoners’ clothes, Thetr poor parents were finally able to false the $10 aplece which they were fined and get them out, And. all for no crime, but simply for violating a park rule against playing ball in the park, They did not play bal, They merely tossed a small rubber ball, All that wag necessary was for the policeman to f they did not stop, © heen arrested, ‘ hot treatee elons, “That in the way to turn boy« Inte criminals, 1 feel thin thing nore keenly than anything that has happened since I have been Mayor. To discover a new arafter on the police force is not an agreeable thing, but far lees dimgree- abls than to have the police and a Magistrate do this miserable piece of business.” REVNOLOS TELLS HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. Magtstrate Reynolds, who sentenced Frederick and Edward Weinberger, sald to-day that he couldn't recall their spe- cific cases. “I sometimes have as many as 100 or 12) of these cases a day, and it ts impos- sible for me to recall individual cases,” anid he. “Complaints of ball playing in Prospect Park began to reach the Park Commission, the police and the Magin- trates as long ago a8 two or three months ' “At firat only a tnd we were te boys discovered that they could play ‘bal almost with impunity, and little by Uttle the number of casen Inorensed until we have twenty, then fofty, finally fifty, sixty, elghty and @ hundred every Monday morning. “Then we began to impose “amait fines in the more fingrant cases and to sive every youngster a warning, but even this 414 no good. The cases in- creased and we increased the severity of the fines. Since I could impone a fine of %0 and fifteen days’ tmprison- ment as weil, you can see that a fine of $10 Is really not a heavy one, SAYS PRISONERS MAY TELE- PHONE TO PARENTS. “Every boy brought before me or any of the other Magistrates has been warned of his rights, and if he has pleaded guilty and been fined he has Deon advined that he may telephone to dis parents or write to them, and stamps and paper have been provided if they choose to write. I have had my clerk personally see each boy and at- tend to hie telephoning if he wished to telephone. “Conditions in Prospect Park has becn awful and something had to be dene to stop the ruination of the park and the Ganger ¢o women and children incidental , to baseball paying.” T FINLEY APPOINTED TO HIGH HONOR BY © BOARD OF REGENTS President of College of City of New York Made State Com- missioner of Education. Dr, John H. Finley President of the Collewe of the City of New York, was appointed State Comminsioner of Edu- cation by the State Board of Regents to- day. He euccecds the late Dr, Andrew 6. Draper. Dr. Finley's success as head of the City Coliege for ten years has given him the reputation of being ene of the foremost educators in the country. Dur- ing this ten years of service the City College has grown to many of the ideals which Dr. Finley expressed in first tak- ing up his work, “The presidency of this college,” he sald at that time, “pre- eents the greatest opportunities for an educator that the whole country oan offer. | hattan Teta terested toe He has always been tn- lolita of W --———— —-—- a fhe en hae “Then you" ‘didn't. ‘enjoy ry perform. ance of ‘Hamlet’ 1” “No; my husband forgot to git any | Beanuts vai mF gan't enjoy no show with- CAN A MEDICINE BE A “FAKE” that has lived and grown in$, popularity for thirty years, and demonstrated its worth by actual cures of female Ms in thousands and thousands of American families ?

Dr. Finley is under fifty. He was born in this country near Ridge Cliff, IL, and worked on a farm. This fact in interesting, in view of his recent statement that tMa is the era of the city bred boy. He went to the public school of Ottawa township and to Knox College at Galesburg, working his way part of the tl & printer. He did editorial work for Harper's and McClure's and held the chair of poll- ties at Princeton.
