your taste may be inclined-you're sure

Several automobiles containing po-
licemen sped OF in the direction taken
by the touring car, but the latter had
such start that there was little hope
OF overtaking It,
Last night there were only about 200
taxicabs under the tents, grouped to-
gether to save space. The police believed
that the bomb throwers figured on throw
ing the explosive into the midst OF the
gasolene cars, relying on the explosion to
make havoc with the gasolene tanks
and cause a fire that would consume al
the cabs before 1t was put out.
The taxicab company has had this tent
guarded by special policemen since the
strike began, as il was feared some one
might throw in torch among the gaso-
lene cars.
