lyn Bridge evening with results that were not
wholly productive of good feeling among the driv-
ers Burns and McCulioch in plain clothes. posted
themselves in the street and ordered the vehicles
according TO instructions. The feature Of their
rlan was an arrangement by which teams coming
down Park Row intending to turn in to the left
were compelled TO 20 down almost to Frankfort
street and there turn into the line of vehicles go
ing north The scheme caused lot Of confusion
and much profanity and the trolley spoiled it
most Of the time.

in the honegoing crowds TO the new regulations
was the arrest shortly after o'clock of John Nc
Iaughlin Of No. go Fourth-ave. Brooklyn,

of intended violation Of the traffic rule. He
driving down Park Row, and attempted, as he had
always done before. cut the trolley tracks
and 20 directly into the driveway
Roundsnan Burns whom Mclaughlin had never
seen before and who without any mark show
ing him to be an officer. shouted TO him to stop.
and when Mclaughlin did not grasp his meaning
at once he called Patrolman Sullivan. who was de-
tailed the bridge entrance Yesterday from the
ForIy-second Precinct and ordered him 10 arrest
Mclaughlin. The teamster was taken TO the Oak
st station. where he charged with violating a
CORPORATION ordinance His employer appeared
