F. S. CARTER AND
H. BURGE IN RUNAWAY
Sheriff "Tries Out" Horse;
Decides After Spill Not
to Buy.

Sheriff Carter and Constable Harry
Burge were badly shaken up and
bruised in run away in Michigan
avenue. Chicago yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Carter was trying out the horse he
had been driving with the intention of
buying it. One side of the shaft broke
loose and hit the horse on the leg.
The frightened animal dashed down
the street, while the buggy whirled
around by one shaft being attached 10
the horse, zig-zagged after it tipping
from side TO side. Before it had gone
very far, however. it fell over with a
crash, throwing the occupants on the
asphalt pavement. Mr.. Burge was more
seriously hurt than the sheriff having
been hurled against the stone curbing,
which slightly changed the topography
Of his face and enlarged the size OF
his right knee. Mr.. Carter considers
himself lucky in receiving but slight
bruises and a bad scare. He said this
morning that he had decided not to buy
the horse.

BECKER ISSUES
AN ULTIMATUM
Declares Before the Manu-
features He Won't Help
Police Department.

In the face of the fact that Ham
mond policeman was compelled TO
carry a drunken fellow to the police
station in a wheel barrow-with the
bloody riot at Gibson still fresh in the
minds of the people of this city-in
spite Of the fact that the present po-
lice department is working at times al
most desperately in order to cover the
large amount Of territory that must
be policed in Hammond. Mayor Becker
last night delivered what might be con-
sidered an ultimatum regarding the
needed increase of patrolmen and po-
lice equipment when he said that so
long as he was mayor of Hammond not
one dollar would be spent for the
Metropolitan police department in
Hammond that the law did not require
him to spend.
1t was apparent to the members OF
the Hammond Manufacturers associa-
ton to whom his remarks were ad-
dressed that the mayor meant what
he said and after the banquet many of
them discussed other means that might
have to be taken to provide the much
needed extra police.
In fact this part of the mayors
speech, which was not on the program,
was one of the chief topics OF CONVEX
sation after the banquet and the
troubulous times when the mayor and
the other opponents of the Metropoli-
tan police law tried to help through the
Mccullough bill were recalled and the
whole question again becomes live
issue.
The question was brought UP when
one Of the speakers made the remark
that it was decidedly beneath the dig
nifty of a police officer to haul drunk
to the station in a wheel barrow. Lit
tie did he think that his remark would
open up that whole big question, but
the mayor took him UP and his ulti-
matum followed.
One or two of the other of the speak
ers tried to persuade the mayor that
perhaps he was a little prejudiced in
the matter and challenged him to sub
stantiate his statement that the police
department was not giving him the CO.
operation necessary to the enforcement
of the city ordinances.
There was no Ill feeling over the
matter but the mayor got on record
and the manufacturers are discussing
the matter pro and con today.

There We're real war scenes in East

HTiIIers Remains Unknown.

The man who was killed on the Lake
Shore railroad at Millers Station is
still at Villas morgue in Hobart and
is unidentified. Coroner Heskins held
the inquest yesterday and has been en-
deavoring ever sine to discover the
identity of the unfortunate.
The only possible means of identify
ing him was an address at Ninety third
street in Chicago and some tattoo
marks on his arm. On the right arm
is tattooed an American flag and on
the left arm is the outline of faucet,
indicating that the man might have
been a plumber.
The coroner says the deceased is a
fine looking man. He is between 3S
and 40 years old, weights 10 pounds
is 5 feet inches tall and has brown
hair, brown eyes and a sandy nous

FUND IS BOOMING.
American Band Solicitors Are Meet
 ing With Good Success.

The American band collecting com- mittee reports that it is meeting with splendid success in its efforts to ob- tain an auxiliary membership sufl- cient to keep the band in its present top-notch position as the premier band of Connecticut. Contributions are coming in on all sides, and ey- erybody is giving the collectors the glad-hand. Considering that the band has given over 200 concerts on the green during the past twenty years it is no wonder that the people of the city are anxious to do all pos sible to put the band on a sound financial basis, and free the members from all worries relating to money matters, especially when it is taken into consideration that the majority of the. crowd who listen to the con certs have never been called upon to contribute cent towards the main 1 tenance of the organization. Here tofore only very small percentage of the population have taken any in ! terest in the band-perhaps not more than hundred people-and the members feel that somebody else ought to get a chance. Instead of calling on these annual contributors for sums of from s5 to $25, it is now the intention to form an American Band association with membership of 1000, each one of whom will be asked to give dollar. This will Ia hn tn mo n an admission to the annual indoor concert which it is proposed to make one of the musical events of the sea- son.
 Few people realize the expenses incurred in maintaining an organi- zation of the size and caliber of the American band. There is leader to be paid-and leader of the type of James M Fulton costs money; there is music to be bought; room rent to be paid, and in city like Waterbury there are not an over abundance of engagements to keep the income ahead of the expense ac- count. However, the collection com mittee is very confident that the present plan will bring in sufficient income to keep the band in first-class financial condition for all time to come. Below is copy of the mem bership blank that is being presented to the public:
 AMERICAN BAND ASSOCIATION. This is to Certify
 l that ............
 contribute $..... for the SUD-
 port of the American band, for which I am to receive member ship ticket for one year, same to
 entitle me to admission to annual concert.
