Burns, off duty, was going home
about midnight. At Third avenue
and Forty ninth street he saw,
coming from behind, an auto whose
driver had given the speed laws a
compound fracture. Gallant Burns
leaped into the street and ordered
the chauffeur to stop, in the name
of the law. The chauffeur laughed
and sped on, but before Burns could

auto, coming in an opposite dlrec-

stopped, helped dig Burns out of
the snow and offered to take him
home. Instead Burns placed him
under arrest and ordered him to
drive to the West Forty seventh
Street police station.
There were three couples in the
taxi The men wore open face
clothes and the women had on cute
white frocks. One of the women
declared she was a bride and one
of the men confessed that he was
the bridegroom. adding that they
were just returning from the we'd

Burns relented, told the chauffeur
he could drive the wedding party
home and mounted the seat with
the driver.
AS soon as the wedding guests
were safely landed, Burns took his
prisoner to the Flower hospital,
where Burns underwent medical
treatment while another policeman
locked up John Murray for reckless
driving. Burns will be in the hos
pital for a month, the doctors say,
because he failed to have his in

Burns declares he didn't have the
heart to make the bride and groom

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Managers
of New York restaurants and hotels
complain that it costs them thous-

That's an old story. The names

be accused, theoretically, of petty
larceny.
But perhaps an occurrence at the
100000 Cafe de lOpera, which

telling of this story, for here the
theft wasn't chargeable to the
guests at all, but to a waiter, who

public will then begin to reap the
full benefits of what has been done.
The Cubs coming to the bat first
yesterday secured a walk and three
hits good for three runs, but after
that they could not connect with the
sphere and 1t was a case of three up,
three down.
The Alagas, however, secured eight
clean hits good for seven runs and
with the exception of three errors put
up a good article of ball. The work
of Chris Kelley in the box and w.

good, while the stick work of the en-

pitchers hustle before the season is
over.
Suits for the teams are beginning
