FLANAGAN, SPECIAL COP,
ENCOUNTERS NEMESIS
Tells joyful Poles to Quit Sing
ing-Gets Black Eye.

With four or five criss-cross patches
of court-plaster marring his counten-
ance and with one eye highly dis
colored, Special officer Flanagan is
today looking for a man who walks
with a limp.
All was quiet along the banks of
the Passaic early yesterday morning
and Flanagan was trudging along
smoking his pipe, when a chorus of
unearthly yells aroused him from his
pipe dream. The Special" investi-
eating, found a crowd of Poles sing
ing on the Jackson street bridge. His
commands to cease were disregarded
and instead of quiet reigning on the
night air bricks we're raining on
Flanagan.
The officer pulled his gun and fired
in the air. This had the effect of
putting the boisterous men to flight.
1t also brought three regular guard
ians of the peace to the rescue. Look
ing across the murky Passaic the po-
lice made out the fleeing forms. The
chase was started, but when the D.,
L. and w. coal pockets were reached
the men had disappeared. 1t vas
noticed that one of the crowd ran as
though hurt. The police are now
looking for this man, believed to be
the target for one of Flanagan's bull
lets.
Captain Christie, of the Third pre-
cinct, has taken the investigation up.

COPS FIRE AT FUGITIVE
WHO LED THEM LONGCHASE

ELIZABETH, n. J., Dec. 2.
After an exciting chase of
five blocks Detective Sergeant
George Rabig and Patrolman
Healy. of the local police force.
landed Harry Henderson, 2S years old,
of New York, in Jail, shortly after
8 O'Clock last night. The sleuths. who
were in pain clothes, were on the
lookout for suspicious characters and
while on their quest spied Henderson.
Accosting him they asked him sew
eral questions. As an answer the
man started TO run. The policemen
gave chase, but the nan was too fleet
of foot for them. Drawing their re-
voivers they fired several shots in
the air to bring him to a stop.
Henderson was we'll prepared for
his alleged mode of work, the police
say. Two skeleton keys, 4 pocket
knife containing several tools, more
than 500 in money, a mileage book,
and other loot. such as diamond pins
and a very valuable gold watch, were
found.
He said he hailed from New York.
1t is the impression of the local police
that he was in for another job last
night.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Prices rose
generally when trading began today
on the Stock Exchange. Rubber made
the largest gain, advancing ~ points
in the first few transactions.
II a. m.-Announcement that over
"a, 900, 900 gold had been secured in
London for shipment here had a fur
Their strengthening effect on the mar
ket, but the traders were disposed to
limit their transactions until the re-
newal rates for money were arranged.
Tobacco stocks were buoyant, various
issues rising from 3 to Z points.
Noon-An unusual number of i'm
portant stocks sold ex-dividend to-
day. The u~nfavorable bank state
ment of Saturday and the likelihood
that various institutions would be
compelled to call loans to make up
their deficit made the course of rates
uncertain. Loans We're made at 10
and II per cent. Bonds We're steady.
1 p. m.-Forenoon advances were
cancelled when the market slipped
back on the 10 per cent. money rates.
Business was slight and Washington
news was awaited with interest
to possible action by the Su-
preme Court on cases hanging over
the market.

FOOD PRICES WERE HIGH

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. accord
ing to the authorities at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Museum, they
have just unearthed a Greek manu-
script and deciphered it, found that
the high cost of living and excessive
transportation rates were as much a
problem in Theadelphia. a small city
in Egypt, 1890 years ago as they are
today in the United States. This
document is the report of a Sitoluge.

The Sitoluge exposed graft, and APP

in unison. He believed there would
be little hope for future generations
