MAY CHANGE THE
POLICE WIRES
TO OTHER POLES

At the meeting Of the Police Com
missioners, yesterday afternoon, the
matter of changing the police wires
from the telephone poles on Gnpin
avenue, between Van Buren, and Scott
streets, was again discussed.
The police wires are now strung
on the Bell telephone poles at this
point, and the Commissioners have
been considering the desirability of
changing the wires over 10 the poles
of the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company, although the latter
company claims that their poles are
already holding as many wires as is
advisable to put on them.
Superintendent Gray stated that to
remain on the old poles would cost
$124, the cost Of renewing and re-
setting the poles, while to move over
to the traction company's poles would
cost 1919. Should they remain on the
old poles, however, according to Mr..
Gray It woul dmean a constant ex-
pense to keep them in. repair.
Commissioner Stayton favored NOV
ing over to the traction company's s
aoles, while Mr.. Bowers advocated re-
naming on the old poles where they
would be alone. and in no danger Of
falling upon other heavy charged
wires After some discussion upon
the matter, Mr. Stayton moved that
the matter be deferred until next
week, to give them an opportunity to
look further into It,

a woman excitedly told Patrolman
Flanagan that she had been insulted
by some Of the youths at the corner
and pointed out one Of them.
Flanagan dashed into the crowd and
caught John Mcdonald, twenty-one
years old, a carpenters helper, of No.

ment one hundred members Of the
gang leaped upon the patrolman, who
tried TO WELD his nightstick, but was
unable to keep back the crowd.
He finally drew his revolver and fired
