ASKS FOR CELL TO SLEEP IN.
EARNS $40 POLICE MONEY
Itinerant Polisher Gets Idea at Sight
of Dirty Badges.

A little old man found Ills way into the
cell room at the Central station early
this morning. said he was tired of tramp
Ing around in the rain, and asked for n
rlace TO sleep until il was clear again.

the chances were thai he would he COM
mitted to the House of Correction as
vaGrnnt.
The little old man replied that he would
sooner take chances on the street, lie
was turning away when Lieutenant Mills
handed him a quarter.
Mighty fine" said the little man, 'if
you give me your badge a minute, I'll
fx 1t so you won't know it,"
Lieutenant Mills took a chance and the
little man drew from under his coat II
big can Of white powder and some
ChamOis skin and started to work. The
badge in few minutes looked as IL 1t
had Just come from the jewelers..
Captain Tempest then had his badge
improved and that meant another quarter
for the old man.

room would look better with his badge
cleaned" said Lieutenant Mills.
The policemen paid 10 cents head, and
the polisher worked until long after
breakfast time. He filled one pocket
after another with coins. He said when

According to Magistrate Carson. n
license may he issued only to "A citizen
Of the United states. and is not trans
ferahle, The Foreigners who were unable
70 obtain licenses have been renting
carts with the understanding that they
would not be intcrferod with by the
police. Several of these cart owners, 1t
is said had as many as 80 licenses.
When one Of their patrons was ar
rested for reddllng without a license, the
owners of the cart would take license
from another cart and have the prisoner
discharged on the grounds that he had
left his license home, the police say.
Carts were rented for 20 cents An
extra commission Of ten cents was charE-
ed when no lsense was loaned. To got
a license the peddlar had to pay a COM
mission of IL cents, The foreign peddalrs
not knowing that n license was necessary,
usually took advantage of the lower rate.
Magistrate Carson believed that the i'm
positions should be Investigated and dis

METHODIST BISHOP MAKES
PLEA FOR LOCAL OPTION
Voters Asked to Elect Legislative
Candidates Who Can Be Trusted.

Bishop Joseph +. Berry. of this city,
has issued a stirring call for voters OF
Pennsylvania 10 elect only those candi-
dates to the Legislature who will come
out squarely for local option. In the cur
rent number of the Methodist Times,
Bishop Berry says In part:
81 hope the chief issue in the pending
elections In the state of Pennsylvania
may be kept clearly In view. The thing
that should chiefly concern every Christ
ian voter Isl What kind of n man will
represent me in the State Senate and
Assembly, The question of local option
and possibly OF Statewide prohibition will
he brought forward in the Legislature,
and the importance of electIng reliable
temperance men TO that body must be
apparent.
The candidates for Governor on both
the Republican and Democratic Washing
ton tickets have committed themselves in
the most emphatic terms to advanced
temperance legislation, so that which
ever is elected we will have Governor
who has publicly pledged himself to Sign
any bill which the temperance forces put
through. The big task before US is to
elect a Legislature which will surely pass
the necessary bills"
