railway company, declared he was pre-
pared to operate as many cars during

protection for. 1t was further an
nounced that no cars would be run in
Cottage Grove avenue today, but that

men figure is that of Miss Beatrice

son of having authorized Ithe arrange
ments whereby the police ride in al
the cars that are being. operated.
