Lyons received the applicants for

is employed.
Mr. Lyons held forth in his new
Office last night for the first time and
over fifty persons called on him dur

not want to come to d public place
unless they were really in need.

RIPPED THE
PADDED CELL
HaIIahan, Placed There for
Safe Keeping, Wields His
Knife DisastrousIy.
CUT THE THREE SIDES


The padded cell in the lookup was
practically ruined early this morning
fly John Hallahan. forty-eight years
old, of lat Smith street, after he
had been placed there to sleep off
too much drink.
Hallahan was found by Patrolman
Dunham on the front stoop of his
home, at Smith street and Madison
avenue, shortly after l O'Clock trying
to get in. He tried to assist the
man, but those in the house said
that they did not want him to come
in as, being noisy, he would disturb
someone who was Ill. The police
man then took him to the Majestic
lunch room, where he left him.
Later he came back and found Hal
lahan trying once more on his front
porch, kicking at the door.
Roundsman Morris came along
little later and told the patrolman to
take Hallahan to the police station
as lodger. Durham did so and
placed him In the padded cell, tell
ing him to go to sleep. Hallahan
said "All right Jack" AS he was
placed there as lodger and not as
an arrested prisoner, he was not
searched by either the policeman or
Sergeant Mulligan.
Hallahan. 1t is believed, had a
slight attack OF the delirium tre-
mems and did not sleep, but instead
took out his penknife shortly after
ward and started to slash the cell
He succeeded in cutting up the pad
