Although the daily register OF crimes
In this city is growing larger each day,
te d impossible to obtain any informa-
ton Is to the u Of the outbreak.
Police Commissioner McAdoo is out OF
town and in his absence no one at Police

man to talk about that" said Deputy

a q staff of nearly two score of po-
ncemen were busy yesterday watching
several suspected gambling houses
throughout the city. The squad Of po-
hcemen detailed to rope in the curb
brokers in Broad street were idly saz-
Ing At The tall buildings in that section
OF the city to-day. And so on-but
crimes OF violence are still continued.
That many crimes are committed
which are peyer reported Is shown by
the following letter:
To the Editor of The Evening World:
hAo AS - Va ~
happened in Greater New York on the
night Of July 4:
A man with his wife and children
boarded a Fourteenth street car at
Avenue A. The conductor collected the
fares. but a few minutes afterward de-
cided that some of the smaller children.
for whom he had not collected fares,
were large enough to be paid Tor.
Thereupon the conductor notified the
man that more fare was needed; the
man refused to pay, n words pc
came hotter and hotter, The conductor
was about to strike the man when the
wife interfered. SO the conductor raw
ored her with q heavy blow instead.
Some twelve wideawake pickpockets'
seeing the oommotion. boarded the car.
and, on the pretext OF defending the
woman, grabbed the conductor, while
one Of them picked his pocket n sue
ceeded In getting his pocketbook. which
was well filed. Then they all suddenly
left the car. The conductor jumped on
Of bis car and chased the thief, and sue
ceeded in catching him.. calling In vain
for a policeman. The rest of the pick
pockets surrounded their friend n
almost killed the conductor, who was
forced to release the thief.
? There was a great noise and scream
ing by women In the car throughout 1t
all. but not a single policeman put in an
appearance, and a witness OF the AFFAIR
walked for blocks without meeting one.

RUNAWAY CAR
CRASHES into
Il" TRAIN
Passengers Bruised in Mys-
ferrous Accident at Brook
Ign End Of Bridge.

A runaway passenger coach at the
Brooklyn end of the Bridge crashed into
an Incoming train during the rush hour
to-day and caused a wreck that blocked
trafnc for fifteen minutes: Several pas
sengers were bruised and shocked, but
none was hurt seriously enough to call
for medical treatment.
How the car got started is a mystery.
II was standing on a spur at the end Of
the yards and took all the switches lead
Ing TO the main track without a slip.
The first seen of the car by the d. r. Il,
employees was when II wa entering the
station from the south end at a speed
of about eight miles an hour.
A train from Manhattan swung
around the curve from the bridge and
into the station. The signals showed
a clear track, and the motorman knew
nothing 10 the contrary until he saw
the runaway approaching. He brought
his train TO a stop and kaped out OF
the motor-box just as the runaway car
reached him.
The platforms NJ the runaway car and
OF the motor car on the train were
broken to splinters and dozens OF win
dows were shattered, The wreck hap
pened in such a way that It put two
tracks out OF business temporarily.

May we be charitable In thought and generous in

we may be mean to none Of thy children.
Keep US in the ways Of temperament our working,

the things that ought do and may not do
the things that we ought not to do.
Forgive us our waywardness and forgetfulness and
the deceit that in and lead into the and

his cousin, Prince George of Greece.
The lady and her party we're being

road was very narrow. and when the
prancing. scarlet outriders overlook
them, there was no room for the gov

imperial guest to pass by. The out
riders ordered the bullock drivers out
of the path Unless it took wings it
was impossible to obey, and so for a
mile and a half the future emperor of
Russia had to content himself with
driving at the slowest pace in the loco
