| Frank ]. Goodwin took dinner in Cavanagh's
restaurant. in Twenty third-st.. near Eighth-ave
about O'Clock. According to the story OF man
who sat at the next table. George Alley. who had
been employed in the place for a long time, took
Mr.. GoodVins order Alley did something that
dispeased Mr.. Goodwin. it is said and when the
leader OF the IXth District paid his check at the
cashiers desk he complained that Alley was intoxl-
Gated and had insulted him. Alley was called up
to the desk and told to take of his apron and
leave the place He summarily discharged
The big Chief was converting Sheehan and
Goodwin Democrats In the headquarters of the
William S. Devery Association when he heard that
Goodwin had brought about Alleys discharge The
chief Immediately intensely interested
Goodwin had waiter fred?" he said quietly.
We'll. he's resOrtn' to nice tricks, amt he? I've
got idee why he did this trick. Alley has been

live in the disric n'erstan'. but he's been dom
work for the quiet, an Goodwin has
probably hearn about It, So Goodwin had him fired,
did he? Come on feers."
The big chief started for Cavanaghs with blood
in his eye. On the way he stopped in Twenty
thrd-st long enough TO buy out about eight news
boys who had surrounded him. He gave dime to
each of the boys. Into Cavanagh's he marched
with a string OF newspaper men and few Of his
ieutenants in his wake The chief took table in
the of the restaurant and ordered a bottle Of
champagne and another OF Aponaris, helping him
self from the latter. When the bottles were emp

walters fred" said Devery. rs that on the level?"
why, err, that Is 10 say, we ala discharge a
waiter this evening" said Mr.. Cavanagh but I
wasn't here at the time. Our cashier had some com
plant about him. / believe the man was reported
TO be intoxicated. and let him go. He was
working for us all day and seemed 10 be all right
until this evening. I'm not sure that II was Mr.
Goodwin who complained about him.
Well" said the chief, as the color rose 20 his
face. this IS a 10 man fight here in this dis
trio, nm / don't like this kind o. business I tell
you what wish you'd do Cavanagh, will you put
this man back for me?"
Why certainly, chief" said Cavanagh: 'If YOU
want him reinstated. weH send for him tonight
and have him back in the morning
Hail a dozen OF the walters stood about and lis
tened 10 the conversation. They were evidently
highly pleased with the chiefs action, for they
beamed upon him approvingly,
This Is fight for the people" continued Dew
cry after Cavanagh had gone back 70 instruct tho
cashier to send for Alley. AN I don't like this
idee o stoopin 10 low down sricks. I wouldn't

It's a shame an a outrage. an IL this man Alley
can't get work here. We'll find somethn' else for
him to do

OF street urchins He had so much difficulty in
getting about that he jumped on a car TO avoid
the crowd and went down 10 his clubhouse
near Twentythird-st, There he said that he had
learned OF three destitute families in the district
and had relieved them after investigation by pay
ing their rent and providing necessary provisions

from destitute families outside the distric'" said
the Chief. and from their tone I should Judge
that they are badly In need help We have ali

early in the evening that Devery would go darrv,'

programme all laid out right up to the primaries

had any reason 10 expect at the start or an
from the looks o. things now ought 10 get about
twenty-five hundred Of the thIrty-one hundred

about Munzinger is that he is Sheehan's poodle
