Policemen Lacking

Several 10 Face Charges
of Improper Cloilsiag;
Many Have 10 Borrow
Money foa. Tailor Bills

At Police Headquarters to-day several
patrolmen will be tried on charges
of not having proper uniforms.
II was reported at the meeting of
the Patrolmen's Benevolent Associa-
ton or Tuesday that twelve patrolmen
would be called to answer these
charges. ii was admitted yesterday

Twenty-eighth Precinct. officers said,
the reasons given would be that "the
tailors did not have the uniforms
ready
The inability of patrolmen to keep
themselves properly uniformed, as re-
CURED by the rules of the department,
is being made strong point in the
campaign of the Patrolmen's Benevo-
lent Association for an increase in
wages which will give a first-grado
patroNnan salary of $4,000 year
and nroportionatelv advance the nay
OF pAirolmen of the lower grades.
The cost Of a complete equipment for
a patrolman Is between $3.50 and $500,
according to the quality Of the goods
purchased. A new ovcrcoat alone costs
between SEQ and $50
Formerly many tailors have given
credit, but this custom is being rapid
ly abandoned. the patrolmen say. be-
cause of the inability Of the men to
maintain an adequate rate of payment.
Many tailors now demand cash in adj
vace. and IN practically every case it
is required that at least 80 per cent
Of the full purchase price be paid be-
fore the garments are delivered.
The effect of this rule is to force
the men to obtain loans. OF the LAST
patrolmen who borrowed sums of
money from the Morris Plan Company
last year the company estimates that
l5 per cent bought uniforms or paid
tailors bills with the money borrowed
The reasons to be advanced to-day
by the men charged with not having
proper uniforms will be sufficient to
clear them Of the charges. Patrolmen's

u sers of Gas i'm
Brooklyn Complain
Top. S. Commission
Company Declares Supply
Ample, but Strikers Say
1t Will Be Entirely Shut
Off by the End of To-day

Continued shortage Of the gas sup
ply in Brooklyn rs result Of the
strike Of the employees Of the Brooklyn
Union Gas Company, and particularly
tho walkout Of the employees in the gas
plants, has brought numerous COM
plants to the Office Of the Public Ser
vice Commi ission, it was said at the Of
fee yesterday.
Strike leaders expressed the hope
yesterday that the commission would
take hand in the controversy. They
predicted the supply Of gas in Brook
lyn would be entirely cut off by to-
night, and maintained that the number
of strikers has now reached 1000. Com
pany officials, however, continued to
assert that the number of strikers Is
not more than 1856, 282 of these having
been actually employed in the manu-
facture of gas. The following statement
was issued last night from the Office
of the company, 176 Remsen Street:
During the last twentyfour hours
we have maintained our usual quota of
gas, sufficient for the supply and de-
we have not drawn upon our reserve
supply. All our plants are working.
There have been no additions to the
ranks of the strikers to- day. We have
filled the places of all the men who
have walked out. Our patrons should
entertain no fears as to the cutting off
OF their gas supply. We are fully pre-
pared to handle any emergency and to
continue to meet the demands of our
subscribers"
The strike leaders replied that the
number of men actually engaged in the
manufacture of gas at the nine tanks
OF the company was never above 800.
and by the company's own admission
the gas plants are virtually at a stand
still
Inquiry among Brooklyn residents
resulted in statements that the sup
ply of gas yesterday was weak.
Frank Killorin, president of the
Brooklyn Gas Workers. Protective AS
sociation, the strikers organization,
predicted that the company would fin
its supply exhausted by tomorrow
night. He said that when the men
walked out they saw to it that the gas
tanks were filled to capacity sufficient
for seventy-two hours. This period

Stay; Loses Shoes for 8eEligerently Kicking Door

Michael Gilhooley is back This
time he says he is going to stay in
America. The fifteen year-old Bel
gian-lrish orphan who has become one
of the most persistent stowaways OF
the war, arrived yesterday for the
fourth time on the Kroonland, d
prisoner in the brig.
Early in the spring, Mike came to
America for the first time on the
Black Arrow. Regardless Of many re-
quest he was not permitted to land.
Several weeks later he bobbed up
again, on board the Zeclandia ard
again was returned to Europe. SNll
persisting, he boarded the Santa Paula
for another trip TO the United states.
After the immigra ion official h&d
ordered his deportation he escaped and
lived with friends on West 18th

back to Ellis Island. Many soldier
and officer friends, Elsie Janis, the
actress, and q rich woman, who lives
