SOLDIERS CLASHED
WITH STATION POLICE.
Private Of Company ID. First Infan'
try. Finally Arrested After
Riot Was Threatened.

Serious trouble between the police and a
crowd OF soldiers of the First United
States Infantry was narrowly averted Il;
Union Station last night
The disturbance arose through an en-
counter between Private Momfort OF Com
rany ID and Gateman William Ryan. Nom
fort was finally arrested and taken to the
-Four Courts holdover.
Five companies of the regiment passed
through the station last night bound for
Fort Leavenworth, Kas. -Four of them.
Companies l. h, NJ and d. came directly
from Cuba. The fifth, Company l., has been
at Jefferson Barracks. While waiting for
their train to depart numbers of the soldiers
were walking about Union Station.
1t happened that friend of Momfort was
sick and unable TO leave the train. Nom
fort undertook to take young woman with
whom his sick friend was acquainted
through the gate to visit him on the train.
II is against the regulations at the station
To allow 4 woman to pass the gates unless
she intends to board train as a passenger
Accordingly. Gateman Ryan refused to al
low the young woman TO pass.
Momfort demonstrated, but without avail.
After hot words had passed Siomfort struck
Ryan. Meantime a group OF soldiers had
gathered around. They jeersd the gateman
and threatened 10 help Momfort.
Officer Dixcn of the Central District saw
the excited group. lie pushed through the
crowd and placed Momfort under arrest.
Then the other soldiers became more ex-
cited and surged around Dixon. showing him
and his prisoner into the middle of the Mid
way.
Stationmaster Jere COakley heard the dis
turbance. Perceiving that general fight
was imminent he turned in a call for police
which sounds throughout the station. This
brought Wstchman Hickey. Detectives
Howard ana Gallagher and several other Of
hcerS to the scene.
The soldiers Were still demonstrative, but
the appearance OF captain Coghlan of Com
pany ID at this time somewhat Gained them.
Dixon took Mcmfort to a patrol box and
taken to the hoIdoyer.
Captain Coghlan refused to discuss the
occurrence. In the confusion the woman
concerned left the station.
