called back to the barns at 8 o'clock
last night and locked up. The Staten

The question Of tie-up this week
on the subway and elevated lines wor-
ried New York yesterday.
Theodore p. Shonts, Frank Hedley
and other officials of the Interborough
system insisted that they would have
no difficulty in keeping these lines
open, and by so doing break the sur
face car strike.
William D. Mahon and William P.
Fitzpatrick, representing the men, de-
clared that in their turn the Inter
borough men would be called out. and
preparatory TO such action made public
yesterday the demands of the men en-
ployed on the system for union recog-
milton, higher wages and better work
ing conditions. All except the ques-
tion OF organization they are willing
to arbitrate. On that they will fight.
"Do you think the men on the sub

"Why, no." he replied, 81 have not

Auto Patrols Carry Ammunition
to Car Guards.

Automobile police patrols, each in
charge Of a lieutenant and detail
of patrolmen, sped swiftly up Centre
Street from Police Headquarters last
night. Each chauffeur was chosen for
his caution; the guards were the most
alert men TO be had. Each car carried
10000 rounds of pistol ammunition.
"Just an ounce of prevention" de-
clared Inspector Schmittberger, as the
first raced uptown.
For the first time within the memory
of most of the men on the force twenty
rounds will be served to each man. A
reserve supply will be kept in every
station house.

SHOTS FIRED
IN CAR RIOT
Whiz of Bullet Stops
Striking Motormen-
Woman Arrested.

SPORADIC rioting marked the course
of the strike along the green car routes
yesterday. Speeding cars were greet
ed with boots and jeers, and the mo-
ment one was stalled crowd gathered
intent upon making life miserable for
the crew. Bricks and other missiles
were generously used. Several arrests
were made, and one patrolman had re-
course to his revolver.
The brunt of the disorder fell upon
the Eighty-sixth Street crosstown lines,
whose cars had to pass the strike head
quarters, on East Eighty-sixth Street.
Motormcn and conductors on the Mad
ison Avenue line also found that every
run was daring a gantlet, and finally,
at 8 o'clock, declared they would risk
their skins no more until Sunday.
Police commissioners, inspectors and
captains raced through the streets in
automobiles inspecting their hnes OF
defence. Shabby taxicabs lodged
about, carrying crews of from four to
six able bodied, alert-looking men,
who might have been either guards
employed by the railroad company or
emissaries of the strikers. There was
no organized attempt at violence any
where, but everywhere were possibili-
ties of trouble, which Kept the police
on their mettle.
Woman Starts Small Riot.
An eastbound Eighty-sixth Street
car was stalled at Lexington Avenue,
and in an instant was the centre of
buZZing crowd.
Patrolman Alfred Winters, who was
riding on the front platform, jumped
off and began TO clear way for the
car. As he showed the throng back
Mrs. Tessie Sonvagg.o, of 225 last
Eighty-sixth Street, who was IN the
front rank, shrieked something at him.
The patrolman seized her by the arm
and she flew at him tooth and nail,
biting him in the cheek so that the
blood flowed. In an instant the police
man was the centre of seething mob,
a part of which was fired by curiosity
and a part by the conviction that po-
liceman was beating a woman. He was
being crowded off his feet, though still
clinging to his prisoner, when big
touring car carrying uniformed po-
liceman on the running board and nine
men in plain clothes drew up at the
edge Of the crowd.

With billies swinging up and down:
the ten forced their way to the side OF

gradually beating the crowd back when
a platoon of twenty or thirty uniformed
natrolmen charged and dispersed the
gathering. Mrs. Sonvaggio was locked

Hospital. Patrick Humphries, motor
man on the stalled car, was hit with
rock and was taken to Presbyterian
Hospital.

Il is this recent coordination OF the
