POLICE BUSY ATTENDING
TO INJURED N CROOKS.
Rowdyism Suppressed and Crowds Well
Handled by Chief Corbitt's
Force,

The nolice of the Ave precincts of this
CITY had their hapds full last night in
handling the great mass of people. The
largest crowd of -merrymakers was. OF
course, Mt the corner of Market and
Broad streets. all four corners being
damned. 1t was at this point that the
police had the most difficulty. hat there
were no casualties is considered a fortu-
nate thing in the face of the fact thai
over fifty women tainted on or near the
-Four Corners and had to be taken on
the shoulders of the police to nearby drug
stores and other places of safety.
The cables stretched along the route
of march was the only thing that saved
the police from being powerless. Then,
too, it afforded the marchers u~ndisputed
right of way, and 1t made 1t easy for the
crowds to witness the street spectacle.
At the "Bour Corners Acting Captain
Caffrey. of the First Precinct Station
made his stand. After the parade had
passed the corners north on Broad street
Captain Christie, of the Third, and Acting
Captain McGovern. of the Fourth Pre-
ncict Station, with their men, came up
from lower Broad street, where they had
kept the crowds In check at Lincoln Park,
and rendered valuable aid in clearing the
crowds that surged around the corners
prior to the return of the parade to Mar
ket street.
Had 1t not been that the men stationed
at this point by Caffrey kept their wits
about them the crowd would have burst
down the hempen barriers again and again.
But always at tine critical time Acting
Captain Caffrey, Sergeant Mcclellan,
Roundsmen Lunger. Kehoe, Lueddecke
and the patrolmen stationed there were
active. and the crowd was pushed back
Especially quick in giving first aid to a
n14paha. ~ or,n rrIA faTnfad In fha
crowd. were Plainclothesmen Smith, Har-
ris, Troy. King, Farrell, O'Gara and CraW-
ford, who, like every other detailed man
in the. department, were placed in uniform
last night.
At Military Park Captain Brown, of the
Second, and Captain Ubhaus, of the Fifth
Precinct. were in charge. With his SER
geants and roundsmen Captain Ubhaus kept
Park place clear under many trying or
deals, and Captain Browns only mishap
WAS when some one cut the ropes on Ills
Side of Broad street.
Chief Corbitt expressed satisfaction, after
the parade, at the way the police handled
the crowd.
Il think we did pretty we'll" said the
chief. TT was a good-natured crowd, there
was very little rowdyism. Ropes were Gu
along Broad in three place, at Bank, Acad7
envy and West Bank streets. but we had
little trouble in holding in check the crowds
that sought to flock into Broad street from
the side streets mentioned.s'
Elzos 3. Jackson, 1S years old. who gave
his address as Toledo, o., was arrested
at the -Four Corners by Detectlve-Ser

said he was arrested in Elizabeth three
