Recent Shooting ARRAY by Monk, East
mans Gang Stirs Up Police.
New York.-The New York tough
must give up his gun. The recent
bloody affrays between East Side
gangs have called the attention of the
police to the fact that the roughs and
loafers of that section Of the city go
armed with revolvers. In a fight one
night this week 100 shots were fired
by members of the gangs. Now the
thugs will be disarmed.
The police have planned a systematic
campaign. The first move to be made
is to relieve the toughs Of their re-
v~olvers. Permits have to be obtained
from the police for the right to carry
weapons, and the department does not
issue such permits to men like Monk
Eastman, Piggy" Donovan and their
followers. A sudden descent on the
various notorious gangs is to be made,
and all men found carrying weapons
will be arrested. Police Magistrates
will then be asked to infiict the full,
penalty.

spell would come on at night would

The greatest danger from colds and

If reasonable care is used, however, and

all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases we have yet to
learn of single case having resulted in
