IN A SCUFFLE
With a Disorder1y Hungarian on
Ger Wells Had His Revolver
Taken from Him and Was Shot In One
of His Fingers-A Man WHO Is Sup
posed to Be an Ohio Man Arrested
Later.

Last evening, shortly before six
o'clock, Officer Wells was called to the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad sta
ton to quiet number of Hungarian
passengers from Ohio, who were rails
ing disturbance, and while endeavor-
ing to restore peace was shot by one
of the men. AS the officer entered the
car, in which the disorderly men were
seated one of the Hungarians picked
up heavy iron bar and threatened to
assault him. A scuff1e then ensued, dur
ing which the man reached into the
officers coat pocket and secured his
revolver. The officer quickly forced
the Hungarian's arm up and as he did
so, the man fired the weapon, and the
bullet passed through the second finger
of the officers right hand, making a
painful and ugly wound Wells placed
the Hungarian under arrest and took
him to the lookup. He is supposed to
be miner from Dillonvale. Ohio. The
officials at police headquarters were
not aware of the mans name It is con-
sidered that Wells had a narrow es-
cape from being seriously wounded in
the scuffle. His injuries will cause him
to be off duty for several days.

Made the Subject of a Resolution by
Congressman Richardson.

WASHINGTON, February 2-Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee. thu
Democratic floor leader, to-day introduced
a resolution in regard to tin plate trusts
similar to those recently introduced in re-
lation to trusts in sugar and paper.
The resolution states that whereas recent
advances in the prices of tin plate indicate
that trusts or combinations exist for the
purpose of destroying competition, the pro-
ducts manufactured by the American Tin
Plate Company and other manufacturers
of tin plate shall after six months from
the passage OF the resolution be prohibited
by the Interstate commerce commission
from being transported in any manner
whatsoever from one State to another until
the commission is satisfied that such pro-
ducts offered for transportation have not
yielded a profit to the manufacturers of
moro than four per cent.
