Police Busy Moving On" the CrOwds
who Hoped TO See a Fight.

Following the shooting on Saturday
night Of Gus Lambe, one Of the striking
drivers of the New York Transportation
Company. crowds Of excitement lovers
gathered in front Of the c~ompany's garage
at Eighth avenue and Eorty-ninth street
Yesterday to race after each auto car in
the hope that something would happen.
The crowds became 80 great during the
afternoon that the police cleared the side
walks near the building.
Police from various stations-twenty-five
patrolmen and fifteen or twenty bicycle
policemen to accompany the different cars
around the city patrollcd the streets about
the garage and were placed at intervals
along the cross streets leading out to Broad
way. They did not nave much to do, as the
attendant bicycle cops. detectives and
specials that accompanied each car seemed
to cast a damper on the rioters.
In the vicinity OF the Lackawanna ferry,
at the foot Of West Twcnty-second street.
at the other ferries and occasionally at
Sherry's restaurant in Fifth avenue were
groups of pickets bent on trouble. Cab
drivers at these points seemed to be in
sympathy with the strikers and gave what
aid they could.
Word came TO General Superintendent
Clarke about $50 in the afternoon that
there was trouble at the foot OF West
Tweuty-second street. Clarke. accom-
panied by Foreman O'Hslloran and PATROL
man Brennan. climbed into a touring car
and tipped down to the ~ferryhouse. but
learned there that the nearest approach
to trouble was the gathering of a group OF
about q half dozen pickets. The five cars
belonging TO the COMPANY at the ferry
were taken away to avoid rouble. they
had had less than five fares among them
during the day. where ordinarily they
would have la $50 or more.

low Waters, L9zare Ioria and Warren

President Meade said that one Of the
new men turned up at the garage yester-
day morning wearing a black eye and bat
tered face, which ne had got from the
striker the night before while on his way
home. The man, whose name the presi-
dent refused To give. got on an Eighth
avenue car going north on Saturday night
and was seen by some Of the strikers who
also boarded the car. On the way up town
the strikers tried TO influence the man 10

strikers knocked him down and kicked
him on the head and then scattered.
