IS (Correspond ence of the Asocial e-d Press) After ton months of t ria 1 the hi gh er au thorities of the Metropolitan police have decided that women police of i'icrr huvo niacin good, and tho 100 now on duty will bo retained . They must bo of good education, possess ing tact, UindlJr.e?s and a sympa tk.etie nature willing to work seven hour a. day for ?T 0 a -week and be reridy at all times for duty. Tho force was recruited from the patrc! workers of the National "Union of Women Workers employed by the commissioner in 1916 to aid in tho nroteotaon of th-e city. They did excellent work. The cessation of hostilities, brought thousands of young- officers from the fighting front to London, and the fear that an orgle of dissipation might follow the rigors of life in the trenches induced the police to re tain 100 picked women for duty in the night life sections. Their work was preventive in a large measure, particular attention being devoted to young girls who might be attracted to such places. So well did they carry out the plan that their permanent worth has now been recognized. These p-olice women may be seen any night in the West End, covering regular b-eaAs near the theatres and hotels in pairs, dressed in navy blue, with a business-like cap and regula tion whistle, they work under the di rection of a woman chief whose headquarters are in Scotland yard. If a woman is accosted by some man who does not know her she can cause his arrest by appealing to the woman officer, and it frequently hap pens arrests are made without com-plain-t. All women applicants for the force are trained for eight weeks in the regular duties of a policeman, but ihey are not sworn in as constables, and they are only liable for such duty as the commissioner may direct. "All our women are most carefully chosen," said their chief, Mrs. Stan ley, "but we have no place for the 'pru'e or the prowl." James Mobilio, of 165 Lexington avenue, slipped on a tin roof after climbing out of third story window at his home this morning, rolled off the roof and hit a picket fence in the yard below. Mobi'io's front door was locked from the outside and he want ed to get out of the place so that he could make proper entrance and leave 'the door open for other members of tho family. The man's skull was fractured and he suffered lacerations of the head. He was attended by the Emergency hospital surgeon and taken to St. " in cent's hospital, where it was said that although seriously hurt he would probably live. HELD EOR THEFT UNDER $100 BONDS John Ives, of Cii Fairfield avenue. ' was placed under arrest late Saturday .night, charged with stealing ?15 from Stefan Plyezhan, of 1116 Vtailroad : avenue.

Bartlett this morning, and David Lindquist paid a fine of $5. Edward J. Reilley, of 85 Black Rock avenue, Michael Maseapo, of Milford and "Wil liam Hackett, city, forfeited bonds of $15 when they failed to appear for trial. FREQUENTERS OF OPIUM DEN ARE CAUGHT IN RAID Bridgeport police and a number of federal agents descended on a house at 103 State street early this morning and arrested the proprietor and four frequenters of an alleged opium den which was located in the third floor of the building. The men who were arrested are Joe Deu, alleged proprie I tor, and Jim Kong. Joa Wah, Joe i Hung and Low Hung, alleged fre i quenters.

HE "TIGER" WILL i NET Clemenceau Refuses To Be Party To Onslaughts Against Him. Paris, Oct. 13 Premier Georges Clemenceau has declared to a number of deputies that he has determined to leave the cabinet after the coming elections. Tho premier, speaking on the con troversy which has arisen over the government's plan to hold elections for the Chamber of Deputies in ad vance of those for the senate, is quot ed as saying: he knew fresh onslaughts were being planned against him with the object of bringing on a debate as to the cabinet's general policy, M. Clemenceau said such a debate would be useless and that he would refuse to be made a party to it, adding he would enter hi to no suggestions as to the future policy of the cabinet whilh would necessarily go out of office with him. UT STAI1 TICKET The G. O. P. convention held Sat urday evening was something of a love feast for the delegates and they ha.d very little to do except put a rubber stamp ratification on the ma chine ticket which offers to the vot ers in the coming election the same cast of officials who have been in power for six years.

Manwaring, now on three tickets, who though a lifelong Re publican, refused to approve of the present administration financial meth ods by allowing his name on the Re publican ticket. Garrity is popular, but his nomination is regarded as a departure from custom in that he Is one of the youngest men ever nom inated for treasurer. The meeting decided that all that might be said in favor of re-electing the local machine could be talked in four minutes and decided upon tt campaign of speeches of that length.

A clamor of protest has broken out in Japanese labor circles against the alleged interference by the govern ment with the selection of the repre sentative from the ranks of labor to go with the other Japanese delegates to the international labor congress at Washington, sailing on the Fushumi Maru on Oct. 9. Tne labor interests contend that the convention held for the selection of the labor delegates was packed and dominated by the capitalistic interests, and that thus the voice of Japanese labor will not be heard at Washington. In the present labor agitation mass meetings have been held demanding the eight hour day and the abolish ment of night work, the gatherings being advised by minors, by women workers with their babies on their backs and by girl workers.
