ARTMANN
THROWN FROM
MOTORCYCLE

While pursuing and about to inter-
cept an auto speeding at the rate of
forty-three miles an hour, Motorcycle
PatrolmAn William Hartmann was
this morning thrown from his motor
cycle, but escaped with few bruises
and scratches. Probably all that saved
him from death or serious injury was
the softness of the road where he fell
He landed in a pool of soft mud and
water which acted as a cushion.
The accident happened in New
Brunswick avenue, near Mullins farm.
Hartmann chased the auto froA
the lower end Of New Brunswick ave-
nue. almost to the dog pound and was
about to draw alongside of the ma.
chine when the pedal shaft broke and
he was thrown to the ground.
The auto Hartmann was chasing stop
ped and its occupants returned to as
certain the injuries of the patrolman.
The driver furnished sufficient reason
for his speeding, and was allowed to
continue on his way.
Joseph Kelly, returning to this city
in an auto, picked up the patrolman and
his damaged machine. After scraping
the mud from his clothes, Patrolman
Hartmann secured a bicycle and con-
tinued his duties. His motor cycle
win be repaired tomorrow.

NEGRO DRAWS
A RAZOR ON
TROLLEY CAR
Henry Harris, Of Wood
bridge, Threatens to Cut off
Conductors Head.
ARRESTED AND FINED $50
--DlDN'T SEE COP

A fine of $50 was imposed on
Henry Harris, colored, twenty-fonr
years old, for drawing a razor on a
trolley car Saturday night, it is al
legged, and threatening to cut off the
head of the conductor, Charles
Smith, after the latter had requested
the negro to cease using foul Ian
guage Fortunately for the conduc-
tor, Patrolman Robert Harding was
on the car at the time and at signt
of the police officer the alleged razor
manipulation threw his weapon out
of the car and submitted to arrest.
Harris, who lives in Woodbridge,
was returning from this city with
two other colored men about 10
O'Clock. They boarded the car at
Buckingham avenue and State street,
not noticing the patrolman standing
on the rear platform. He was going
home for supper.
When the car reached the Lehigh
Valley railroad bridge, it is said,
Harris became profanely boisterous
and threatened to lick" any ten
men on the car. Several women
complained to the conductor of the
foul language, and when the official
asked the negro to cease, he replied
by drawing a razor and brandishing
it about his head This added to the
excitement, and in the midst of 1t all
Patrolman Harding walked down
the aisle.
Harris glanced once at the ap-
preaching bluecoat. Then he took a
second look and threw the razor out
of a window. The patrolman took
Harris into custody and he was
brought back to this city. The razor
was recovered by the conductor and
given to the police cfficer.
Harris was Rrraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgill yesterday morning
and would neither admit nor deny
that he had drawn razor. He
pleaded intoxication, but the recor-
der fined him $40 on charge of dis
orderly conduct and held him in de-
fault of bail for the alleged carrying
of concealed weapons. He was later
fined $25 on the concealed weapon
charge.

OFFER MAY SETTLE
TROUBLE AT BUTTE
Engineers Agree to Enter Into
Contract With Mine Owners.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 23.-President
Walter Shay of the International En-.
gineers' union has addressed com.
munication to John Gillie, general
manager of the properties of the
Amalgamated Copper company, to the
effect that the organization which he
heads is willing to enter into a con
tract with the Amalgamated Copper
and other mining companies of Butte
to carry out to the letter the terms
of contract already existing between
the mining companies and unions af
filiated with the Western Federation
of Miners.
This proposal of Mr.. Shay apparent
ly sets at rest all doubt concerning
the purposes of the International En-
gineers in their secession from the
Western Federation of Miners and
would seem to open an avenue to an
immediate settlement of trouble in the
matter of jurisdiction of engineers
which controversy has resulted prac
tically in the closing of the Butte
