Runaway Dashss Up Crowd
Cd State Street Shortly
After Noon Yesterday
MOUNTED COP IN CHASE
Notorcyclist Struck When
Animal Takes Cut Through
c. R. R. Station Avenue

Becoming frightened when pester-
ed by children, a horse hftched to a
light buggy unlosed Its rope by
which 1t was tethered in front Of 172
First street, shortly after IL O'Clock
yesterday noon, and in wild dash
ran through the principal buiness
streets of the city, which were crowd
ed with traffic and people, covering
a distance of nearly three mile.
In going through the avenue of the
Central Railroad passenger station
property the scared animal crashed
into motorcycle, owned by Earl Me-
lick, of 256 Market street, damaging
1t probably to the extent of s75. The
animals front leg was gashed In the
collision, but the episode increased
it's speed and fright. On leaving the
avenue leading through the station
the horse turned down Market street,
aid on nearing Hobart street 1t was
seen by Mounted Patrolman Hart
mann, who gave chase. Almost neck
and neck the two steeds turned up
State street at Market, and In an ex-
citing race kept their course to near
Kali avenue, where the runaway
mare, becoming exhausted, was stop

The runaway horse WAS owned by
William ]. McDede, OF New Bruins
wick. lveryman, and had been
hired for the day by Arthur Nagal, of
Highland Park, who had driven the
animal to this place to visit Leonard
Waight, of 172 First street. The
course taken by the horse was as fol-

the ,.orse was only slightly injured.
Many persons tried to stop the fran
tic animal, but its speed deferred ev-
eryone along the roadside until the
horse had become somewhat exhaust
ed near Hall avenue. The runaway
proved to be more agile steed than
that of Patrolman Hartmann, who
also was hampered In the race by
having to watch to avert overturning
anyone In his pathway.

CARNIVAL OPEN
IN AFTERNOON
Decision Made by COMMITTEES
--All Next Week.

The Johnny J. Jones exposition
shows to be given on the Rarltan
Copper Works field next week for the
benefit of the city hospital, will be
open afternoons as well as evenings
each day during the week, according
to late decision of the proprietors
and the hospital governors. This
conclusion was arrived at after a
consultation, at which 1t was stated
the matinee scheme had probably
never been tried In connection with
weekly carnival attractions here, but
might be successful. Those in ia
vor of conducting the shows during
the afternoon say they should be
open at that time to accommodate
women and children who are not so
likely to go at night. AS a result
the attractions will be open at that
time each day for the special bene-
tit of women and children.

OUTLINE DUTIES
OF POLICEMEN
Mayor Garratson Reads
AthenIan Oath to Force
at Annual inspection
"a MEN IN THE LINE
No Medals Awarded But Exc
cutivs Compliments Several
PatroImsn--Fine Showing.


Duties of policeman were pro-
pounded to members of the police de-
partment by Mayor FeTd Garretson
during the annual inspection in city
hall park at noon yesterday. He
praised the men for what had been
done the past year and urged them
to go on rendering service to the
best of their ability, to be ever ac-
tive and always on the alert. In con-
cluding his talk the executive read
the Athenian oath to the officers, sta
ting, that while he did not expect
them to live up to 1t in every par
ticular, he believed 1t would be we'll
for them to serve as near In accor-
dance with its doctrine as possible.
1t is as follows: I'VE will never
bring disgrace to this, our city, by
any act of dishonesty of cowardice,
nor ever desert our suffering com
rades In the ranks we will fight for
the Ideal and sacred things of the city
both alone and with many; we will
revere and obey the city's laws and
do our best to incite like respect
and reverence in those above
us who are prone to set them at
naught: we will strive increasingly
to quicken the publlc's sense of civic
duty. Thus in all ways we will
transmit this city not less, but great
er, better and more beautiful than
1t was transmitted to US"
The entire force, numbering thir.
ty-four, lined up at the northerly end
Of city hall park facing the monu-
ment of George Washington as they
were addressed by the mayor. Fol
reasons of dissention and the fact
that men In other police departments
do not receive medals unless they
have performed some especially hero
! ic deed, Mr.. Garretson said the Gus
tom started last year of awarding
medals would be abandoned. How
ever, without mentioning names, he
extended he extended commentator
| to Patrolmen Niels Tonnesen and
John y. Murray, the former for stop
ping a runaway and saving several

gle-handed, a fierce street row re
Gently.
The executive referred to the
! growth of the department and sale
| its size was still below the legal Iimi
| permitted by law. In his estimation
the men never looked better. To-
gether with members of the council
he witnessed them march from police
headquarters, around city hall park
and inspected each man as they were
lined up under command of Superln-
! tendent of Police Patrick j. Burke
He reminded the officers that their
services had been most satisfactory
and commended them for severe
strike duty.
Mr.. Garretson announced that the

cause 1t had not been ready for de-
