Refusal to Move Inside
Pay-as-You-Enter Car.
TROLLEY CROWDED, HE
DECLARES IN DEFENSE
Alleged Use of Abusive Language
Enters Into Decision in the
First Precinct Court.

That the platforms of pay-as-you-
enter cars must be kept clear of pas
sengers was set forth by Judge Howell
in the First Precinct Court today. Gill
bert Highly, an architect, of 1044 Clin-
ton avenue, was fined $40 under the
ordinance recently passed by the Com
mon Council.
Mr.. Highly. whose offices are at As
Clinton street, was arrested by Ser
geant Bohle, of the First Precinct, Sat
urday afternoon He had refused, 1t
is said, to go inside a pay -you-enter
car in South Broad street after having
been ordered to do so by Sergeant
Bohle.
According to Sergeant Bohle there
had been a blockade of cars Saturday
when he was called by the conductor
of the one upon which Mr.. Highly was
passenger to clear the rear platform.
Mr. Highly claimed there was no room
inside. Room was made by Bohle
1t is said that Highly then demanded
the officers authority and also re-
quested him to show his shield. The
sergeant declares that Highly then be-
came abusive and he arrested the
architect.
Mr.. Highly was particular to impress
upon Judge Howell today that he re-
GREETED his abuse of Sergeant Bohle, but
contended he was right in refusing to
move inside a crowded car. He will see
the Public Service later In regard to the
matter, he says.

THE GODS TO FIND
LITTLE ATO TANG

Little Alto Tang IS gone. and there
is grief and apprehension in a Chinese
home at 30 Liberty street. where the
supply Of incense and Joss sticks has
been tripled and burns brightly before
the figures Of the gods Of the hearth,
in the hope that they might relent and
bring little Alto Tang back again, to
chatter joyously to his little slant-eyed
mother and pull his dignifled fathers
pigtail when he is not looking, for
little Chinese boys are as full of fun
and mischief as ever was a heap
smart Mclean liz devil"
Alto Tang is only years old, and
not to be relied upon to keep himself
away from harm. The little fellow left
his home at IL o'cock yesterday MORN
ing with friend of his father to see
the wonders of New Yorks Chinatown.
The friend returned without the boy,
saying that he had been lost in the
crowd.
So If you see a little Chinese boy
who seems to be pretty much unat-
tached. just attach him yourself and
take him home. For he's likely to be
little Alto Tang.

Once more things have all ou'
reached the "ir' stage where the
mathematician-fan sits down each
evening and whiles away the boiling
hours that intervene before bedtime
In figuring out how the results OF the
morrow can possibly effect the Tigers
and their standing In the league race
"All but reached" Is what fits the
case today, however. For the Browns
can't pass US, regardless OF any com
bination OF circumstances
The Boston series brought the
teams down to a point where Detroit
has won one more game than its riv-
ais. having also lost three less. This
makes a difference OF four games
which II will take at least two days
OF play TO efface. It's very tough
proposition for the Champs right now,
as the Athletics are playing the game

bination that brings the Washington

TO the Tigers as the present aspect Is
forbidding.
An interesting feature OF the Phil.
adelphia series will be the absence
OF Ty Cobb, who, as everybody
knows, is in the south. busily engaged
In the process OF taking to himself a
wife.
HOW MUCH WILL THE TIGERS
MISS TYRUS?
The result OF the present series will
go far toward clearing this question
up and settling the storm OF argument
which has ragged on this point between
that contingent which claims that
Cobb is half the Tiger team and those
who maintain that there are plenty
OF chances for the Tiges TO win with
out him.
That the Peach will be missed
is beyond question, for no team
