FATHER AND SON
IN STREET FIGHT
Former Congressman Henry
U. Johnson and Son Have
Trouble Last Night.
PLEA OF GUILTY ENTERED.
WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY PAYS
FINE-AFFIDAVIT AGAINST THE
SON DISMISSED ON RECOMMEN-
DATION OF STATE.

Affidavits were prepared in
the city court charging Henry U.
Johnson and Harry Johnson, his son.
with assault and battery. The two
engaged in a fight at the corner of
Fifteenth and Main streets last eve
ming.
The father was fined 81 and costs in
city court this afternoon upon a plea
of guilty to the charge. The fine was
paid. The affidavit against the son
charging the same offense was dis
missed upon the recommendation of
the prosecutor. The father claimed
the son did not strike him.
Witnesses assert that the trouble
followed an uncomplimentary remark
upon the part of the father to the son.
Both men are high tempered and the
son either struck or pushed his father
to the ground. The father rose and
drew a knife, it is claimed. Spectators
interfered and w. G. Roberts forced
the elder Johnson against a fence
and disarmed him. The son made no
effort to continue the fight, although
the father it is claimed threatened
Roberts unless he set him free.
Many conflicting stories are told
One is to the effect the father threat
ened his sons life with a revolver, as
we'll as a knife. This is denied by
! some witnesses.
Henry U. Johnson is one OF the most
prominent men in the city. He is {
former congressman from the Sixth
district and at present is one of the
lea ding attorneys at the Wayne coun
ty bar. He resides on South Fifteenth
street. His son Harry and his wife
reside on South Sixteenth street.

Berlin, Aug. Count Zeppelin will

a remarkable outburst Of pride in the

Superintendent and First Ser

crease.
PROTECTION is DESIRED,
WEST RICHMOND RESIDENTS AP-
PEAR BEFORE POLICE BOARD
TO IMPRESS UPON IT NEED OF
PATROLMAN ACROSS RIVER.

1t was decided at a meeting of the
metropolitan police board last even
ing to advance the salaries Of the su-
perintendent and first sergeant from
500 and SIS to $40 and $50 per
month respectively. Some time ago
the board advanced the salaries of
the patrolmen and second sergeant IS
per month. The board believed the
advances justified by the increase in
the number of duties of the officers
and the necessity to keep peace with
the cost of living and to maintain the
high standard of the department by
offering wages that would induce COM
petent man to apply.
A committee of residents of the
West side met with the board for the
additional patrolman for the territory
located west Of the river. 1t was
pointed out to the board this section
comprises about one fifth the popula-
ton and one fourth the area Of the
city, but it is only provided with
about one twentieth of the protection
accorded other sections. No patrol.
man is on duty on the West side dur
ing the day and but one officer Is
provided for the night. The citizens
always have been law abiding and
quiet and the police board has be
lieved in placing the officers where
they are most likely to be needed.
1t is long standing complaint oi
West Siders and they urged the board
to provide a remedy. The board was
given to understand more policemen
are needed to guard against danger
from fire more than anything else
The West Side has no fire department
company and with no one on guard
fires might originate and spread be
fore an alarm could be sounded or the
residents awakened. The boar. as
sured the committee it will give the
matter due consideration and Wes
Siders have revived hope of another
officer being assigned to night duty il
their section.

He Returned to America to Visit
His Friends to Whom He Is
Deeply Attached.

New York, Dec. 3.-Rlchard Croker
who early Wednesday retortod sharply
to the structures imposed upon him by
Rabbi s. e. Wise, issued formal
statement Wednesday night in which
he made the counter charge that the
clergyman had permitted himself to be
used as a political buffer TO open the
Republican campaign for 1908.
In speech at the dinner OF the
Ethical Social league Wednesday
night. Rabbi Wise severely criticised
Crokers political history and deplored
the fact that prominent citizens, In.
cludlng members of the judiciary, had
attended dinner to the former leader
of Tammany Hall. The rabbi char
acterized the occasion as an affair in
tended to solidify the factions of the
Democratic party in the city
Mr.. Croker after making the charge
quoted above. continued: "I returned
to America to visit my home and many
dear friends here to whom am deeply
attached. The dinner at which ] was
the guest and which my friends hon
orcd me by attending, was a purely
