Several Fights and a Theft Charge
Make Up Grist This Morning.

John Tusko, instead of burning the

court this morning on a charge of
stealing an overcoat, valued at $40,

an all night session of poker in the
saloon, and after the oil in the lamp
had burned out, they experimental
With whiskey as fuel, "but it didn't

costs was imposed. Tusko and three
OF his Witnesses still bore the effects
Of the poker session.
Kalish complained to the police
yesterday that Tusko came to his
house while his wife was out, and
took the coat. He went to the Lafay-
cite street saloon and began to play
cards. During the night he lost $38
in the game, and getting into an an
gument with kalish, the latter de-
manded the coat. He refused to give
up the coat and Officer George Moi
fatt was called.
Peter Kopey was fined $25 and
costs and Steve Povinslzi paid a fine
of $40 and costs for assaulting John
Print Saturday night. Print is still
unable to walk without the aid Of a
cane and bears several scars. He
said he went into the saloon about
$50 Saturday night and was called by
Kopey. He went to where Kopey was
standing and was struck being knock

call an officer and Povinski followed
him, giving him a severe beating on
the sidewalk. The argument was over
work in the factory, Print having
said that Kopey works too hard and
kills the job for the rest of the men.

was about to step for the sidewalk,
when the impact came. He was
crushed between the cars and drag
ged beneath the Fa1 mington avenue
car where he remained for several
minutes before he was found. He
was taken out for dead, but as his
heart was bea ting, he was hurried to
the hospital and DR.. Frank ZWick at
tended him. He was bleeding from
the ears, nose and mouth, and his life
was believed to be a matter Of min
utes at the hospital last night. Com
ing to, he said, he was Arvid Loomis,
but he was identified later as Ives by
has boarding mistress.
Others Painfully Hurt.
Cesante, next seriously hurt, was
standing on the rear platform of the
car when the Plainville car jumped
the switch. 1t is believed that he
tainted when he saw the approaching
collision and he fell headformost onto
the pavement inf1icting a cut on his
scalp. He was later hit by a part of
the car and stunned. While he was
being picked up, q bystander, looking
under the car, noticed the form Of
Ives, and he was drawn out.
Paul, Deider, and Neumann were
on the rear platform of the Plain
Vile car and were thrown out onto
the pavement. OF the three, Neu-
mann was most seriously injured.
The Plainville car was in charge of
Motorman Frank Rogers and Conduc-
tor Margentino and the Pennington
avenue car was in charge of Motor
man w. e. Daniels and Conductor
Newman. All four are experienced
trolley men and have been on their
respective runs for some time. Mo-
torman Rogers states that his car
was going not more than 20 miles an
hour. That the car was we'll under
control is indicated by the fact that
it was brought to a stop soon after
the switch split.
A large crowd gathered as soon as
the cars Collided, and the wrecking
crew worked for about an hour. The
cars were put back on the tracks and
brought to the car barn after which
traffic on all lines was resumed. Much
was spread about the pavement and
a pool of blood on the pavement
marked the spot where Ives was
struck
Slight Improvement is noticed in
the condition of Ives at the hospital
this afternoon but he is not yet out of
danger The other victims brought to
the hospital have been taken to their
homes.

Smile, damn you, SMILE seems quite worthy
Of the place it now has among the sayings

could observe, by hard look; and I loved
them for it. However, this GOODNESS had no
effect on the 'Staters.' At the very next
stop at some small village, while some of
the members, usually from the effete East
far West, would wander off to the near
est cafe for drink of white wine, the
'Staters would hurry away to find one of
our boys and tell him what state they were
from. l remember one occasion in particu-
lar where we had gone to the outskirts of
Paris to see the e4ty's aircraft defences.
On one side of the field great number of
aeroplanes of all kinds had been drawn up
in line, and far down the line one section
was manned entirely by American aviators.
We were very late and far behind our
schedule, and the French captain who had
us in charge was rushing. us along at great
speed By the tima W? had reached the
American escadrille we were out of breath.
and the captain positively refused to allow
us to stop to greet our men, who stood at
salute, each before his own aeroplane.
However. the Skaters were not to be denied
and as they passed each aviator they shouted
only the one word, the name of their own
state-'Nebraska!' Iowa!' Missouri"

This Vital Sector Is
l. on the Boil

This vital sector, though kept station
airy for time, or nearly stationary, is
on the boil. 1t is the scene of forces
perpetually thrown in and exhausted. A
look at the following figures will make
one appreciate the full meaning
When the pressure was first seriously
applied by the Americans in this vital
sector of the upper Meuse the enemy
had, l believe, eight divisions to meet
the first shock. In the shock the supe-
riority Of the forces opposing forced him
back, as we know, past Montfaucon.

than Germany, for Germany will get nothing
at ali from Austria Hungary, Bulgaria aud
Turkey. This, at least, is the general opin-
ion.
We have seen that the German revenue
will be S1,75o,000 eco. This year the B =. Ssh
revenue will be $4,000 900. 1t amply
covers the charge on our national debt, even
as increased by war. The revenue of the
United States is at the rate of $4,000 900 900,
which represents about the same proportion
70 Its wealth our revenue does to wealth
in the United Kingdom. In both these de-
mocracies, therefore, credit is fully secured,
and for simple reason. Our rich men and
corporations are ready to pay taxes. They
do it cheerfully and without loss of zeal for
the war. But in Germany the wealthy CAPT
talists, in alliance with the wealthy junkers,
have done their utmost to force all taxation
on the workers. Depending on wealth and
aristocracy for his throne, the Kaiser dared
not impose the kind of income tax which
