UKJUsTHIABLE ARRESTS.

In their eagerness not to subject them
selves to any more charges OF neglect OF
duty the police have invented a new
crime. They arrest women who are
found In the streets at night, and enter
against them a complaint for 'loitering."
II q belated female rests for moment
on the sidewalk, a policeman pounces
down upon her and accuses her OF
''loitering."
1t is no offense for a woman to be
out after dark. She has just as much
right to be in the streets at night as a
man has, provided she behaves herself.
Certainly there is no such offense as
'loitering' mentioned In the Criminal
Code. Justice Ryan so instructed a po-
liceman who had made four such arrests,
and when the prisoners were arraigned
before him yesterday he promptly dis
charged, them, warning the officer 10 be
careful whom he deprived of liberty.
The Justice said truthfully that 1t Is
a terrible thing for respectable woman
TO be arrested unjustly and taken
through the streets as a disreputable
character. and the disgrace can never
be effaced from her memory. Surely
the police ought TO be better Instructed
IN their duties than to invent crimes
unknown to the law.

Violence lie Used.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30-Contrary to ex-
pectation. rebuttal testimony was
heard to-day by the strike commission.
The railroads and labor unions intro
duced several witnesses, the first of
whom was S. G. Wade, an employee Of
the legal department, OF the Rock ISL
and. His opinion, was, he said. that
much of the blockading of railroad
tracks was the work of experienced
railroad men. W. X. Mooney. "a North
ern Pacific switchman. of Blue Island
said that Debs and Howard had not
advised the men to strike, that they
had told the men to use their own
for alleged activity in the strike. He
had been informed. he said, that Il
deputy marshal. named Davidson, had
burned cars and that Davidson did not
deny the story.
w H. Guion, reporter went over
the incidents OF the strike at Blue Isl
and and Burnside, Fordham and Pull
man. He saw the cars burning at Burn
side He found only three railroad men
in the nearest crowd. which was three
blocks away. The railroad men were
trying to dispense the crowd. One of
these men said the instructions from
the American Railway Union headquar-
ters were to drive away all persons who

arrest. Debs and Howard afterwards
asked witness II he could help the or
der and cause the arrest of the men en-
gagged in violence, but he told them he
was not detective.

KNOX BEATEN AGAIN.
Spellman Gets the Contract for
Supplying Police Hats.
Yet His Bid Was Five Cents Higher
on Each Helmet.
Shcchan Got Angry when Murray
Questioned Closely.

John II. Spellman. the Park Row hat
ter. was awarded the contract for fur
nishing the Police Department with the
Winter helmet, at $l.95 each, by the
Police Board at a meeting held this af-
tcrnupn.
Tho nearest competitor was Knox, the
halter. who offered to supply "a good
hat at $3.50 each"
The hat question created abreeZc at
tho beginning. Commissit ner Murray
was OF Il very inquisitive turn of mind,
and put Commissioners Sheehan and
Kcrwin, who vouched for the quality
OF the hat offered by the successful bid
der to the task of explaining how much
superior in every way was the Spell
man hat at $l.95 than the Knox hat
ut $3.50
Finally Commissioner Sheehan waxed
wrothy, and said:
"Knox's hat isn't fit to he worn by n
policeman. II 1t IL necessary we will
produce sample OF each helmet before
the full Board, and then all the Com
missloners can satisfy themselves"
Commissioner Murray wouldn't accept
the challenge.
IL want to find out If the hat at 81. 90,
the lowest bid offered, is not as good a
hat as the one Spellman says he will
supply mt al advance Of nve cents on
each hat" insisted Commissioner MUIR
ray.
He appeared to be convinced rather
reluctantly that Messrs. Sheehan and
Kerwin were right and voted to award
the contract to Spellman.
This Is interesting owing to the fact
that Knox. the halter. has complained
and charged that the Police Board has
awarded contracts for helmets almost
every year for n long while, regardless
of fair competition.
In the neghborhood OF 1000 helmets
are required to fit out the policemen OF
the force.
