upon. He did not want the pension, &C.

count of the money it carried with it,
but simply to perfect his record of
honorable service in the Civil war.
This view of the age disability order
is being taken by many well-to-do vet
Grams who would not otherwise apply

lionaire pensioner the commissioner

MOTORMAN LASSOES
LIVE WIRE IN STREET

George r. Noble, a motorman on the
Los Angeles Interurban street railway,
lassoed a live trolley wire last night at
Third and Spring streets and by his
agility and presence of mind saved a
number of persons from injury and
possible death,
The accident happened at o'clock
when the street was thronged by pedes-
trians and there was a wild scramble
on the part of those nearest to the
scene to get out of the way of the live
wire as it writhed and twisted on the
pavement. The wire parted with the
report of pistol.
Noble was in charge of his car ar
Third and Broadway when his attention
was attracted by the noise. Knowing
instantly what had happened he seized
a block and tackle from his car, ran
the intervening block and after lasso~
ing the wire dragged it to the track
and grounded the current on one of the
rails.
When the emergency wagon arrived
Noble was attempting, with the assis-
tance of w. F. Brown, also an employe
OF The Interurban company, to lift the
wire out of the way of passers-by.

THE DETECTIVES
NEW YORK BUREAU GREATLY
STIRRED UP
Inspector o'5rlen Testifies Before the
Legislature That Some of His
serseants Are in League
With Thieves

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The attempt
of Commissioner McAdoo to reform the
detective bureau, with the aid of Act
ing Inspector Stephen O'Brien, has
brought to light an extraordinary con-
dition of affairs in that branch of the
police department.
O'Brien recently appeared at Albany
and testified before the legislative COM
mittee on cities that he had detective
sergeants under him who were or had
been in league with thieves. The re-
suit is that the detective sergeants are
in revolt. They are ignoring all dis
cipline and assaillng the integrity of
their superior officers.
Detective Sergeant Sugden, in a
statement published this morning,
charged Commissioner McAdoo with
being a political puppet, ruled by poll
ticians. and added many other unpleas-
ant things. Sugden was suspended to-
day for insubordlnation.
The truth seems to be that the New
York police force is amazingly corrupt
and that McAdoo is making an homes,
attempt to cleanse 1t.
