NEW YORK CITY TASK
Traffic Squad is Highly Specialized
and the Sidewalk Policeman
Takes Chances When on
Relief Duty.
/ Special to The Gate city


NEW YORK, Aug. 0.The tired
little gray-haired woman with the
bundle-filled arms, the hurrying shop
girl, late to her work and the stran-
ger within New York's gates, con-
fused by the never-ending, always
converging streams of traffic, who
daily are guided safely through the
maelstroms OF Forty-second, Twenty
third and other downtown thorough
fares by the up-lifted white-gloved
hand Of the traffic policeman, hurry
away breathless with the thoughts OF
their own narrow escapes, perhaps
never giving thought to the dan
gers that besot the guarding OF the
crossing
The big traffic policeman who
stands at the corner of Forty-second
street and Madison Avenue, one OF
the worst intersections in town for
mere pedestrians, once was called
away from his post for few minutes.
He beckoned to patrolman named
Patterson, whose line of police work
was of the more conventional side
walk variety and asked him to take
his place. The patrolman, willing to
oblige and thinking it looked easy
enough, stepped out into the rushing
swirl OF traffic and the traffic man
disappeared. He was not away for
more than three minutes, yet when
he returned was to find Patterson
stretched out on the pavement, with
huge crowd pressing about his pros
trate form, offering all Of the pos
sible and impossible first aids to the
injured that the New York crowd In
sists on offering when somebody has
been hurt. Patrolman Patterson's
three minutes of volunteer traffic
duty had cost him one leg. In the
rush OF motor trucks, touring cars,
cabs, crosstown street cars and the
army of pedestrians, he had become
bit confused and a street car
struck him. Today Patterson may be
found doing clerical work down at
headquarters in Grand street and the
crutch that is never out of his reach
Is a constant reminder of his momen-
tary traffic duty.
Dangerous Task.
There used to be man at the head
Of the traffic force who liked to give
his own particular Interpretation OF
the meaning of the symbol which
every good guardian of a street cor
ner wears embroidered on his blue
sleeve the wheel encircling the head
of horse. The wheels, he said,
stood for the actual wheels OF the
vehicles that menaced the life and
limb of the policeman as well as the
pedestrian and the horsehead stood
for horse-sense. 1t was not such a
bad definition, at that, though pos
sfbly wide of the mark aimed at by
the man who designed the emblem.
Horse-sense and plenty OF it is the

 WORTH HOOKING INTO-nn, New Way of Selling Diamonds. have devised new way of selling my friends and customers. diamonds r know great many people who want diamond. but who cannot afford 10 buy large one; and therefore won't buy any. These. people often are un- able to save enough money to buy 4 large one. My way is a new one. My way is good one for.you. You buy diamond for $15, wear it is long as you wish; and when .youS have saved $15 bring the diamond to me with the $15 and I will give you a $50 diamond, You can keep this up indefinitely. Tn other words. you can be wearing a diamond all the time and still be paw ing for a big one. It is an easy way for you, because you will not miss the. money, and at the same time you vii, not be deprived of wearing the dia- mond that you so long have wanted to wear, In case you do not understand this proposition come to me and I will take pleasure in explaining it.

POLICE CHARGE CROWD.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 5.-An-
swering a riot call twenty-five police
and plain clothes men headed by
Captain Geo. Revere, assistant SUI
perintendent of police, last night
clashed in battle with a mob of
approximately 500 attending a So
cialist street meeting and as a re-
suit seven members of the crowd
were taken to Jail and scores probab-
ly are suffering with broken heads
The Socialist leaders attempted to
get the crowd to dispense before the
clash with the police. The trouble
last night came as the result of an
order issued early in the week that
all street meetings must be held
within a certain district because of
the state fair traffic, thus preventing
gatherings at Fourth street and Mic
Ollet avenue where the Socialist
meetings are usually held. ~
On both Monday and Tuesday
nights some trouble was had by the
police in dispensing the crowds there
but last night when at first a patrol
man and then patrolmen and Captain
Revere attempted to dispense the
crowd which was litening to wom-
an orator, they were disregarded.
Revere then sent in riot call and at
the head of the police with drawn
clubs again and again charged the
crowds. The battle lasted almost
three quarters of an hour. IL
