," and .str'tiek him laRiiin. .Some
bystanders, he .said, separated them.

KeariLs also asked if Hennings ha<l told anyone, mentioning Hughie Richmond, that he was goln;,- to punch the ques- tiimer in the no.se when he met him?

Rockville Centre. May 10.—Fire De¬ partment wardens are turning in their special policemen's shields. I>fist night, following a discussion before the Board of Trustees, as to the rights and povv<>r.s of firemen who canieil such shields, another warden gave up his shield.
The ' action came after Fire f'hief Waterman had asked the Board of Trustees who was responsible for the safety of the people white attendiim moving, picture theatre performances In the village.
Counselor Hooley Informed ihe chief that the Board of Tinistees was the legislative body of the village, the police department was responsible for the en¬ forcement of the ordinances enacted by the board, and the police Justice was charged-with tbe interpretation of the ordinances.
He .said It was up to the Board of Tru.stees to see tbat the theatres badr proper, cx'.ts and light.'?, and tbat the board was privileged to license public halls and movies, and insist on certain requirements.
"The board bas the power to make the ordinance, the police to enforce them, and tbe police Justice to construe them,"" -Counselor Hooley said. "But the board can appoint certain firemen as special policemen for special theatre duty." Tbe coun.selor did nol think It wise to appoint tbe wbole Flre De¬ partment to perform this duty.
Four men from a company are as¬ signed to this duty every month.
Chief Warden Kalb explained, when the question arose, that under the state tire raarsbal, the chief was responsible, but since that i^ baa beea removed from 'the books, and no suhetitute ia known to hava b««o enac^xd, that power and reaponaibillty bo lonfer mximta.
The dlacussifm, which arooe over the theatre, broaght forth remark* from
Police Cniifain Bacon, thnt he hail re¬ ceived numerous complaints about tlic men H';ting as ujdiers and ticket takcr.s at the theatre. iSfe .s;iid thai eveivbod.v knew the firemen, and that he hear«l one man rebuke a fireman wli<-ii he ordered him to move out of the uislc He said the police went In immediatel\ after and cleared fhe aisle. He .saiil the firemen had a tendency to stand In (he b.ack of tho theatre and carry on ^h the girls. ^
These remarks brought forth the ex¬ pression from Warden Frank Conger that there seemed to be a little feeling liecuuse the wardens had special police¬ men's shields. He said he reiuembercd when these men patrolled the .streets on crdd night-s, and that he didn't think any one hail overstepped liis authority. He said he was going to turn in his shield at once, although he hod currUil if flve years. '
Questioned hy Village President Wal¬ lace as fo who held the feeling against the siiecial policemen of tbe depart ment. Conger would only say .someone In the present company. President Wallace tried to smooth <Suf the wrink¬ les.
Considerable dl.seussion arose after tlie board adjourne<l over the question of the rights of special policemen. Cap¬ tain Bacon contended that as special po¬ lice fhe wearers of fhe shields weie uniUr tbe bead of tbe police depart¬ ment, and tbat when fhe wardens es- tabliwhed flre llfiea, through the police power pf theae shields, they became po llcemen. The captain contended that be, the lieutenant, captain and sergeant are as tnuch superior eflScers to tbeb< spe<ial policcnen as they are to the tegular policeman, and have th«/ right
