Two Men Charged With Striking


Walter Hawkins, colored, thought that so
lcng as his trouble was all in the family
the police had nc right to interfere. but
he did not conf1ne his troubles to the house,

fumes Of stale beer and gin made known
to his wife how he had been spending the
day. He had been home only short time
before he undertook to whip his daughter
Mary, and she ran from the house Once
outside she thought she was safe from the
clutches of her father, and when she went
under the porch she felt certain that he
would not follow. but In this she was mis-
taken. for the father did follow her and
was holding her down and beating her

a charge Of assault against Hawkins when

Discussion.
After the reading Of the memorial the
discussion became informal. The bicyclists
stated that they were being Disseminated
against by the police, and cited number
o. Instances where the police had appar-
entity gone out of their way to make 1t un-
pleasant for the riders Of bicycles They
believed also that the Commissioners
should either revoke that section of the
regulations requiring bicyclists to carry
lights and bells, or make 1t general ana
compel moving vehicles to do the same.
True, there was regulation in force com
pelling public vehicles to carry l1gntS, Dut
the average public vehicle moved at such
a low rate of speed it was not IL dangerous
element in the streets. 1t was the private
carriage which was exempt from the ope-
rations of the law that worked the greatest
damage. They moved along the streets at
a fast rate of speed. Then there were the
heavy brewery and bakery wagons, ice and
stone wagons, that paid no attention TO the
wheelmen. but crowded them close to the
curb line. oftentimes causing :herl to run
into the sidewalk or be run down. The po-
lice, when complained to, were not dis
posed to help the bicyclistS.
Commissioner Truesden said 1t was the
duty of every citizen to prosecute these
drivers If the bicyclists would only carry
these reckless drivers into the Police Court
the dangerous practice would soon stop.
The committee also desired an amendment
to the regulations which would give ticy-
at the same rate of speed as teams. This,
Commissioner Truesden thought, could be
arranged The committee also pointed out
the necessity of regulation prohibiting
persons from throwing glass CT other like
material in the streets. After some discus
sion on these points 1t was deemed eXpedi-
ent to appoint a number of wheelmen spe-
cial policemen tc arrest violators Of law,
and the proposition was favorabiy received
by Commissioner Truesdell.
The attention of the Commissioners was
called to the dangerous condition Of the
fence which inclcses the parking on Penn
sylvania avenue southeast between 1st and
Sth streets For some time this fence.
which is made of wire, has been in a bad
condition. and the loose wires have thrown
a number of wheelmen and otherwise in
Jured their wheels. The Commissioner
promised to give all the matters careful
consideration at the next meeting Of tie
board.
