Complaints of Citizens Being Investi-
gated by Police Chief.


Complaints having been received by the
District Commissioners of the noise re-
sulting from firing done Wednesday even-
ing by the District militia during the sham
battle they have been referred to the chief
of police. who has addressed Gen. George
H Harries, comma nding the militia, asking
to be informed, it is stated, what law. If
any, authorized the discharge of firearms
on the occasion named. Speaking of the
matter today, Commissioner Ross. who has
immediate supervision Of the police depart
ment. said that while he could not say that
any law had been violated, he Is not aware
of any law which permitted the thing COM
planned Of, in the absence of d permit from
the proper authorities. The reply of Gen.
Harries, added Mr.. Ross, would probably
contain a statement of the law applicable
to the case. The police department, acting
upon Instructions, is also invest eating the
firing of a gun at motorman by member
of one of the colored organizations of the
militia

ugly man to go against and with Rubin in
the game there was sure to be strong
argument no matter how good the opposing

Ruhlins adoption of the ring as a pro-
fession came about through his defeat of
Steve o'Donnell at Akron. Billy MADDEN
brought O'Donnell to Akron to fight Rub
lin and the latter put up such good
article of fight that Madden began nego-
Hations on the spot to get Rubin into his
stable and develop his talent. Within
short time the deal was completed. Rub

der Madden's management Is well known
to those who keep posted on ring history.
Ruhlins first fight of any consequence
with Yank Kenney, who defeated the
Akron boy in fourteen rounds. All his
early victories were won more on his great
strength and his ability to take punish

he was considered fair boxer, yet his
strong point give and take, and he
could usually take more than his opponent.
From the reports of his battle with Snarkey
it would seem that he has learned few
things about scientific boxing, and las
training of Corbett for his recent fight with
Jeffries was no doubt good course OF
instruction for Rubin. For 1t Is certain
that Rubin only needed some of the ring
generalship and wisdom Of Corbett to make
his great strength count.

New York Hospitality.

The hospitality of smaller places is
rare if not unknown in New York.
Hospitality there Is different, and
tends to be swamped by numbers, and
even chilled into an apparent indiffer-
ence that is really compelled by cir
cumstances. Often it makes a brave
fight and never wholly gives up, but
1t is struggle against great odds. Not
seldom it happens that the enormous
aggravation of social and intellectual
opportunities that confront country
people who come to live in New York
so discourage them that they end in
living narrower lives in the great city
and seeing fewer people than in the
smaller town from which they came.
And If it does not discourage them it
Is apt to drive them too hard. A New
Yorker who always had a house in
town and another in the country near
by, excused himself for building a
third in New Hampshire by saying, "In
town or near town l never get away
from engagements. l want a place
where I can have some leisure-and
leisure to a New Yorker means of
course, chance to do some work. -

SCARED TO DEATH.
How a Sixth Infantry Soldier Died at

thing very queer concerning the death
OF that man at Santiago.
Sims had gone through the hellish
fight on the LIST Of July, through all
the firing while we were in the
trenches up to the night of the 9Th,
When he was on outpost duty. The
outpost of each company consists of
an officer, commissioned officer
and three men. The detail was post.
ed outside the trenches toward the
enemy to prevent a party sneaking
up on the trenches. One man on post
was posted about SO yards in front of
the rest Of the party, that lay down,
one man being on the alert to listen
to the low call of the sentinel if he
heard any one coming toward him.
Well, about 1920 that night two shots
rang out in rapid succession, and all
was excitement in moment, as there
had been no firing since early in the
afternoon, and all but few were
asleep, worn out with the strain OF
the past eight days.
Running UP to that part of the fir.
ing line from whence the shots were
heard | saw several men handing
down over the top of the embankment
the body of a man. The doctor was
with me, and he asked where the man
was shot. The Lieutenant who was
in command of the outpost detail
said: He is not wounded, but he is
dead, just the same and so 1t proved,
The doctor made a careful eXamina-
ton, aided by the bright starlight, and
not wound was to be found on the
man, but his heart was still in death.
What was the matter? Heart dis
ease. It shut off like lightning, and
Sims never knew what killed him. The
men of the party say they were all
lying down asleep except one man.
He says when the sentinel fired his
shot at a supposed Spaniard ap-
preaching all of the sleeping party
sprang up at once except Sims, who
sat up and then Immediately lay back
again. The party rushed to the sup
port of the sentinel, and on their re-
turn found Sims, as they supposed.
asleep again, and on shaking him
found him not asleep, but dead The
doctor said no doubt the man had
been on such strain the past few
days that his weak heart simply
stopped when he was awakened with
such a start, and he fell back a dead
man to await the sounding of Ga
