CLEVELAND, Feb. 24.-Thrown into
paroxysms of fright by the sight of a
cleaning revolver fourished in the
hands of an intoxicated man, women
screamed and tainted in d Fifty-ffth
street car. The conductor, his face
white with fright, attempted in vain
10 repress the frenZied man until the
car barns were reached.
There the police were notified and at
Broadway Patrolmen Baker and Ben
nett arrested the man and a companion.
At the police station they save the
names of Thomas Shannon and john
Smith. John Smith, was attired as
a minister. Later he was identified by
the conductor of the car as the one
who had fiourished the revolver, but
at the police station it was found the
revolver was III the possession Of the
fellow who gave the name Of shannon
Special Intoxication.
The latter was charged with carry
ing concealed weapons. but after
Smith had said he desired to talk
over the telephone with a judge. the
charge was changed in both cases to
special intoxication.'
After the two men had been locked
mp Conductor Ed Bredenski, who was
in charge of the car, with William
Ralph as motorman, told the follow
ing story of the ride across Fifty-ffth
street with the pair of frenzied men:
When the pair got on the car at
Hough avenue, the big fellow. who
registered as Smith. bumped into me.
! thought that he was joking ana
thought nothing more about it. Then
he got me in a corner and bumped me
SO that the jerk almost dislocated my
neck l told him that he would have to
cut that out He then cursed me, de
clariug that he was not going TO be
'bossed' by a common conductor. Again
] let him so. but 7 had to interfere
again.

that weapon, that looked to me as big
as d cannon. and / left him alone With
that the women and children in the
car screamed, and two or three of them
tainted. He kept swinging the re
VoIver about until I feared that some
one would be shot, and at the street
car barns I telephoned for the police.
Some Of the passengers told me that
the big fellow, Smith, handed over 10
his companion the gun and that Shan

Change Satisfies Men

The Commissioners and the policemen
said yesterday before the subcommittee
they were satisfied with the proposed
change.
1t is possible that the bill will also
contain "a provision that the increased
pay Tor the policemen will become avail
able one year from July / next, instead
Of three and five years from now. as
was contemplated in the original form
Of the measure. Commissioner West
suggested the edvisability Of this. and
the members Of the subcommittee Will
be apt TO follow his. recommendation If
the House shows a disposition TO vote
It into law.

for himself and for all the policemen
of the District to ask for such legisla-
tion as Will make Immediately avail

Can't Live on Pay.

1T is impossible for d man with the
average family to live on so month,
as a policeman is expected TO live" he
said. There are so many cases be-
fore the trial board because the men
are dissatisfied They don't value their
jobs They don't care particularly
about keeping the jobs, for the simple
reason that the jobs are not worth
much. More pay would remedy this to
a great extent.
"A man in the SO class soon gets
into the clutches OF the money-lenders,
the 10-perCenters. 1 have been on the
force seven years, and I still get only
SO month The appeal for more
money comes not only from US, but
from those who are dependent upon
US, our wives and our children"
Commissioner West said the Commits
siOners occupy a dual position in this
