Six thousand policemen YESTERDAY
.ftcrnoon and last night guarded New
York against a repetition OF Vhe G1s
orders Of Tuesday night and yesterday
morning. ~. .oh osrrv-
ING four men, patrolled the surface car
tracks and the streets beneath the ele,
waited railways. To these were aGueJ
sixty motorcycle men, three huhuIeu
mounted policemen, more thSn scoIe
OF bicycle men, and twenty-five nIotoI
tr,cts which carried reserves from
the different station houses whenever
the riot signal was sounded.
Roofs Closely Guarded.
Roofs Of apartments bordering on the
elevated lines, which have proven tne
safest points for strike sympathlzers
70 use in showering passing trains win
stones, bricks and bottles, were pa
trolled closely. A special squad oil de-
tectves, under the command OF Lieu
tenant Ticho, maintained vigil on
roofs in the most troublesome section
A. the Police Commissioner office II
was pointed out that TO establish an
absolute roof patrol would require al
least 900 additional patrolmen. Only
/. fraction OF this number was avail
able. -,
For the first time in many years the
mounted policemen yesterday operated
from strike mobilization centres.
Headquarters for the mounted men and
their horses have been established on
Pier So, North River, az Twenty-thlrd
Street, and on the East River pier at
Jefferson Street. Temporary stalls have
been fitted up for the horses on the
street floors Of the piers, and cots for
the men on the floors above. Here
the mounted men must remain when
they are not actually on duty in read
mess for riot calls.
The motorcycle, bicycle and automo-
bile patrolmen have not yet been con-
centrated outside their own station
houses. Such step is inevitable, IT
was said yesterday in Commissioner
woOds's office, if the rioting IS not
checked
After a conference between the Pc
lice Commissioner and District Attor-
ney Swami, il was announced that OF
the twenty strike sympathizers who
had been arrested during Tuesday
nights riots fifteen had been charged
with felony. This eliminates the pos
sibility Of light fines and workhouse
sentences and makes a long term pos
sible after conviction. A felony charge
takes the strike sympathizer's case into
Special Sessions.
The policy OF charging rioters with
felony will be continued throughout the
strike, whenever il can be establishe ID
the prisoners have been guilty Of en-
dangering the lives Of car crews or pas
sengers.
The city magistrates showed in
creased severity against rioters
brought before them. In Essex Market
Court one striker was sent 20 the work
house for thirty days, following his
conviction FOR hurting stone through
car window. Three others were fined.
Magistrate Brough, in Harlem court,
fined one striker for splitting in the face
Of loyal motorman, and imposed an
other fine on Miss Martha Silverman,
who participated In the Madison Ave
nue. riot on Monday.
James J.. Quackenbush. general at
tOrney for the marlborough and New
} ork Railways companies, was named
last night By William 3. Fitzgerald as
the only man connected with the strike
who had openly counselled violence.
"Quackenbush," said he, "is on rec
ord ss declaring no strike can be won
without violence. II the District At
torney is going to subpoena anybody 20
