BROOKLYN, Jan. 30.-Odd Fellows hall,
on Pamet6a street, has not been opcned
since the police raided IL Monday night.
The mon who fell victims 60 polioemen5
clubs at thai time are today nursing their
injuries. One OF the most seriously in
iured IS Master Workman Thomas Mur-
ray. Mr. Murray says he was engaged IN
writing at his table when the police en-
tered the hall and began to club the men
and order them out of the room The mag
ter workman told the police that if he VIZ
IN any way violating the law he was will
ing to be placed under arrest but he pro
tested against being dubbed This availed
nothing, however, he said, as he was dealt
three heavy blows over the head and shoul-
ders and hustled out of the door. He is
unable TO leave his bed
The interior of the hall presents the ap-
pearance of desperate battle-ground. Al
ter being raided three times within week,
the windows aud doors are shattered and
the walls have been puncturedi by many
bullets 1t is said the owner will bring a
suit against Captain Kitzer to recover
damages for destruction of the property.

to run Union avenue car backwards at

pole. The result was complete destruc-
I on Of the cars electrical apparatus. A
I've wire was sent flying about the street.
and several persons narrowly escaped com
ing in contact with it, The company's
| loss by the accident is about 5000.
| In an interview with an Associated Press
reporter President Lewis, of the Brooklyn
Heights company, expressed his views on
the strike question. He said;
''In reference TO the action taken by the
executive boardof District Assembly No,
75, X. of L., through it's counsel, Lawyer
| William Sulzer, the counsel for the Brook
| lyn Heights railroad have left for Albany
to defend the case. They have been to
some extent taken by surprise, and have
had very little time to make preparations
for defense. 1t is probable they will apply
for an adjournment. 1 don't think the
grounds upon which action has been taken
lagainst the company are tenable." .l
In reply to a question as to whether the
company will make any concessions to the
demands of the strikers, he said: eve
will concede nothing. We have all the
men we require to operate the roads, and
today have AZ cars running. We will run
them up to midnight, and on some of the
night lines later than that except in such
localities as are peculiarly dangerous
81 think it was great mistake to with
draw the First brigade before the city had
resumed it's normal condition. A peace
footing has not yet been established on {
firm basis, and the troops should have
been kept on duty here until then"
President Lewis further said in regarC
to the damage done to the companies
property that the rolling stock alone hat
suffered to the extent of 100000 Th'
damage to the wires will also be considera
ble and the lines on all the roads will re
quire a complete overhauling,
While car 14S of the Fulton street lin,
was passing under the elevated railroad
structure last night man leaped ou
from the shadow of one of the iron pillar
and jumping on the rear step of the car
lunged at Conductor Green, who was
| standing on the platform, with knife
AS he did so his foot slipped and the blad
was buried in Green's body, just over tn
left hip In the confusion that ensuet
Groens assailant made his escape
