Police Commissioner Woods made public to-day the semi-annual report of the Police Department. The report is a review of reforms ac_vmplished by the Commissioner, with an out- line of plana for improvements and tables showing the routine business of the department. The Commissioner states that he has sought to impreas upon inspec- tors and captains that they are re- sponsible for the proper policing of thelr districts, and belloves be bas put the question of responsibility up to the directing heads of the force. He calls attention to the fact that policemen of all ranks are Dow aa- sured a hearing from the Commis- sioner, ‘The extension of the vaca- tion period from ten days to fourteen days is touched upon. An important announcement of great Interest to police officers is that aria. is} ing workd out for . change in the system of promotion, Under ex- isting rules policemen are advanced in grade almost solely on thelr ability to inake @ good showing in & mental examination arranged by the Civil Service Comminsion.

Hundreds of good policemen, despairing of their ability to pass the required mental examination, are stagnated in the position of patrol- man and, as the Commissioner states, “choosing the human way of doing as little as possible without gotting | into trouble.” H Owing to ‘the arbitrary three- | platoon law, the Commissioner states, ! the patrol system of the city is in bad shape. is working on re- forms and will ask the Legislature to amend the law. The Legislature will also be acked to provide for a method of punishment of policemen other than the reprimand, fine or dismissal s):* 1 nov. in vogue, The Commissioner feels that the plan of fining policeman is bad, in- asmuch as the reduction of income is felt by the wives and families of the men punished. He favors amend- ment to the law which will allow the trial Commissioner to sentence of- fending policemep to extra patrol duty. A mass of statistics shows that burglaries, robberies and miscel- laneous crimes and arrests run along about the same as during the first six months in 1918. There w 19§ homicides in the cit 1 to June 30 this yea rests compared with 206 homicides and 113 arrests during tho first six months of 1913, A saving of $15,000 was effected in the Bureau of Rpairs and Supplies by @ revision of contracts and $35,000 was saved by cutting out the prison which had been planned for the Alex- ander avenue station. In the future prisons will not be constructed in connection with all station houses, Tbe Commissioner has arranged to turn over to the city the propert: at the foot of East One Hundre. ‘and Twenty-second street now occupi:1 by Harbor Squad B, which was pur- chased for $180,000. Squad B will be transferred to Randall's Island, where 4 $6,000 station will be built and the $180,000 plant will be sold or turned over to other city uses, FIGHT MYSTERIOUS DUEL IN SPEEDING AUTOMOBILES Dashing Cars Flasn Through Har- lem as Shots Are Fired. There was a wild flight of two automobiles across Harlem early to- day, One was a two-seat runabout with three passengers, the other a big touring car with all of its seven occupied, The police estimated the speed to be nearly sixty miles an hour. ‘Fhe two cars, the runabout lead- ing by only thirty feet, came caree: ing westward on One Hundred and Tweoty-Ofth street and Policeman Barnes, on fixed post at Claramont avenue, had to get out of their way in bi . Both cars took the curve at but slightly reduced speed and, swinging south at Claremont avenue, put on power again, Policeman Fafsky of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fitth street a1 tion was in Claremont avenue and as the Cars passed him, a man behind LAU fp Wise bly ep 9 v wtf tis ss) atta Y Mase yi ( ’ fide pas ly pili Captain Dan Cupid drilling his spectal summer detachment. “Left, right, left, right; ready, smile!” There is no apparent discipline in these hosts which this little brigade represent.

T. can be compelled to accede tc the de- mands of the dissatisfied residents along its lines. That this policy is firmly fixed de- veloped after the hearing yesterday before Commissioner Williams of the complaint made against the inade- quate number of trains operated dur- ing rush and non-rush hours on the Brighton Beach line, by the ‘tedford Heights Board of Trade and others, As The Evening World predicted, Commissioner Williams adjourned the hearing, and the complainants went away disgusted, after it was shown TO THE VOTERS for @ legislative investigation ef the upon the public. by Assistant Superintendent Edgerton of the commission's Transit Bureau! that even if the commission ordered additional trains, the B. R. T. did not have sufficient equipment to add the necessary trains. POLICY OF ECONOMY OF THE 8. R. T. EXPLAINED. A Public Service Commission oft- cial, who took part in the hearing, explained the B.

CONFESSEDONGANG Falls on Knees in Fear Before Prosecutor and Begs Not to Be Asked to Tell More. Threats of death have been made against those who have testified in the Bronx white slave cases, accord- Ing to a confession made torday to District-Attorney Martin of the Bronx Vincenzlo Lambo, who was brought from Greenwich, Conn, two weeks ago as a material witness in the trials following the white slavery disclosures made by Mrs. Delia Nealy Hanson. Lambo testified against Francesco by the chauffeur in the touring car rose and fired two shots at the runabout. Both cars were gone in a twinkling. The cara turned west to Riverside Drive at One Hundred and Twenty- second street, That was the last seen of them, Machilotte, who ran the saluon at No, 65 Westchester avenue, Port Chester, supposed to have been the rendesvous of the white slave gang. He vorroborated Mre, Hanson's story ad of the meeting between her and Maohilotte. The latter was convicted this week and sentenced to .from ten to twenty years in prison and A fine of $5,000, District-Attorney M@rtin to-day had Lambo brought to his office in an effort to make him confess that he had been one of the collectors for the white slavers, He flashed a letter written by Lambo to Machilotte in which ho apologized for not sending money on a certain day, Falling on bis knees and turning pale, Lambo crawled toward Martin and begged for mercy. “Please don't force me to tel! any more!" he cried. ‘T'd rather go to Sing Sing! I'vo got the sign of death from the ‘Don’! “The Don" is Crescenzo Carfaro ‘of No, 281. East One Hundred and Fifty- second street, who is also under ar- rest and who is'believed to be the master mind amonk the accused gang. Lambo begged the District-Attorney to have him taken away from the tler of cells in the Bronx County Jail, where Carfaro and the others are quartered, Martin accommodated him, Tho death sign Lambo described ts Ne man should vote in the Brooklyn primarice for any legislative candidate who does not pledge himeelf. unequivocally to work and te vote Service Commission has shown toward complaints a the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company hae committed OF BROOKLYN! ehametul neglect which the Public inet the eutrages id le committing sixty passengers, hk means also that there will be no cars with side doors to handle the enormous crowds; that the present. care, with thelr narrow end doors, accommodating only one person at a time, will continue in Vogue on B.
