South Beach Protests
Municipal Trolley Signs

Believing that South Beach was los
ing business because of the advertis-
ing signs used for the municipal troll
legs, the South Beach Business Mems
Association complained to Grover A.
Whalen, Commissioner of Plant and
Structures. Red signs direct passen-
gers to the red cars Of the city trcllev
lines in Staten Island, and the associa-
ton feels that these signs divert bust
ness from South Beach to Midland
Beach.
Mr.. Whalen, replying to the protest
IN a letter yesterday, said that no in
justice or discrimination was being
practised by the city.
This advertising was undertaken"
he said, because of complaints that
reached this department that visitors to
Midland Beach were misled by certain
printed signs to take the Rich
mond Light cars at an eight-cent fare,
only to find that they had to pay five
cents more, or total of thirteen cents
each, to reach Midland Beach.
There is no desire on the part Of
this department to assist one beach as
against another. Both are located
within the city. Both pay taxes to
city and state.
THAT the two beaches are not on
equal footing is wholly due to the fact
that South Beach is served only by
railway companies that charge excess
sive and illegal fares"

Rival gangs met last night on Grand
Street TO shoot it up. One group Of
gunner opened fire from the corner of
Cbrystie Street, the other from the
corner of Forsyth Street Twenty or
more shots were fred, the Chrystie
Street contingent retiring northward,
still shooting. The only damage done
By the gunner was to show window
on Grand Street, which was smashed.
Detective Morrissey, of the Coney
Island police station, who was on
Grand Street car, jumped off and or
dered a man whom he took to be one
OF the combatants, to halt. The man
kept on going in spite of two shots
which Morrissey fired over his head,
and the detective put his third bullet
into the fugitive's leg.
That stopped him. He said he was
John Spencer, of 100 Chrystie Street, a
bookkeeper, and just happened to be
passing when the shooting began. He
was unable to identify either the de-
tective or his bullets as authoritative,
he said, and SO kept on going until he
was dropped. He was detained at the
Clinton Street police station for ex-
animation.
Another chance victim Of the en-
counter was Wolf Fleischer, of SO For

Burns and Nets Owner 500
Auto, After Day at Bear Mountain Refuses Return
to Brooklyn and, Whea Repair Man Attacks It,
Bursts Into Flames; Starts Near Panic i'm Nyack

The Hufnagel family fivver was
hivving admirably when J. S. HUFF
nagel, his wife and two small boys set
out in it early Sunday morning for
Bear Mountain from their home at 592
Hart Street. Brooklyn. All the way to
bear Mountain the intelligent little
auto plugged briskly along. The Hut
nagel family was delighted.
They started home at p. m. At
ESQ a. m. yesterday they had made
fourteen miles, and were just south Of
Nyack. The fiivver didn't like going to
Brooklyn SO well as going to Bear
mountain. BY main strength Mr.. HUFF
nagei kept its nose pointed for Brook
Ign, but half the time the fivver was
trying to go back to Bear Mountain.
1t spat and sputtered and popped
ana SHE'D and sulked in a flivverish
sort of tantrum that lasted for hours
on end. Mr.. Hufnagel pleaded and
coaxed and scolded and cussed and
cranked and juggled the carburetor,
but there was no suiting that fivver
so long as it was bound for BROOKLYN,
and on that one point Mr.. Hufnagel
would not compromise.
AT 2:30 a. M, just south Of Nyack,
the impishness of the flivver eliminated
in rank rebellion. IT stopped in its
tracks with an air Of fnality which its
owner recognized as most serious. He
knew that when the fivver acted that
way there was nothing to do but wait
for it to change it's mind.

Sailors Marooned on Wheel
About 1880 Monday morning when
concessions were still running full
blast and thousands of persons re-
manned on the walks, an electrical
short circuit blew out all connections
along Thompson Walk and put light

At the time Of the accident the Wonder
couples in cages. Two sailors, Harry
Evers and Michael Dowlan, of the
United States destroyer 1877, at anchor
in the Hudson River, were in one of
the cages that stuck sixty feet in the
air. Two young women in one of the
lower cages clambered to the ground
with assistance. The sailors were low
cred from their lofty perch with block
and tackle.
Thousands Of men, women and chill
dren slept on the sands at Coney Sat
urday night and last night unmolested
by the police. Orders were issued to po-
lice officers to- protect sleepers and
keep a lookout for beach thieves.
The Staten Island crowds at all
beaches were fully as large as on Sun

this weekend were greater than any
hitherto. There were fifteen cases of

bound for Nyack, passed, and by It's
driver Mr.. Hufnagei sent word of the
depressed and rebellious state of his
flivver to William Galbraith, fivver
specialist of Nyack.
Mr.. Galbraith came rejoicing and
towed the fivver and the Hufnagels
into Nyack. From the way he pried
into the creatures vitals it was ap-
parent to all concerned that he in
tended to install new outfit of morals
and rebuilt resolution in a jiffy.
AT this critical juncture the Aivver
took desperate chance and burst into
flames. 1t was standing at the time
right over the gasoline tank of the
Nyack Garage, across the way from
Galbraith's sanatorium, and the two
Hufnagel children were sound asleep
on the back seat. Galbraith got them
out safely, scorching his hands doing
so. and then turned in a fire alarm.
1t brought six engine companies, four
hook and ladder companies, the chief
OF the department and almost all of
Nyack besides. Quite undaunted, the
flivver blazed away merrily. When the
last spark had been extinguished Mr.
Hufnagel gazed sadly but triumphantly
at the wreck The flivver still was
pointed toward Brooklyn.

Gaibraith. Il can fix her up so she'll
run a churn."
"Done!" exclaimed Mr.. Hufnagei en-
thusiastically.
He pocketed tho money and went to
the Erie station to wait for train.

Redhead the Woodpecker lay in the
grass at the foot Of the tree into
which he had flown to escape from
Sharpshin the Hawk. Poor Redheadl
He hardly knew yet what had hap
pened. His head was too dizzy for
him to think clearly. His head was
dizzy, one of his wings ached dread
fully and was useless, and he was
faint from pain and fright. So he
lay in the grass at the foot of the tree
and wondered how he came to be
there.
What had happened was this: When
Redhead flew with ali his might in
among the thickly growing branches
of that tree to escape from Sharpshin
the Hawk he had no time to pick his
way. He simply dashed into them
blindly. 1t was the only thing he
struck his head against one branch
and one wing against another. The
bones of the wing were not broken,
but it was so badly strained that he
couldn't use it.
Had Sharpshin hung around there
watching for few minutes this story
would never have been told. But he
didn't hang around. When he missed
Redhead by almsst nothing at all he
didn't stop. He kept right on. He knew
he couldn't get Redhead in among
those branches and he knew that
Redhead wouldn't come out for some
time. Waiting around there would
be waste of time. So Sharpshin kept
on in his swift fight to look for a
breakfast elsewhere. And SO he didn't
see Redhead drop fluttering down
through the branches to the grass at
the foot of the tree.
For long time Redhead lay quiet
lust where he fell. 1t was cool down
there in the grass, for the dew of the
night was stillson it. His head ached
and his wing ached, and he felt too
miserable to want to move. He felt
too miserable to even be afraid in
his helplessness. But by and by his
head felt better, and then he began
to realize what had happened and how
helpless he was. He tried, oh, how
he tried, to fly. But that wing was
useless and all he could do was to
fiutter about, and he. knew that this
would never do. No, indeed, this
would never do. He might be seen by
the watchful eyes of some one who
would be only too glad for such
chance to breakfast on Woodpecker.

CHICAGO, July with thousands Of

breaking heat records, complaints were
made that no ice could be obtained from

the depots were open and apparently
ready for business.
The companies said an iron-clad agree
ment between the companies and the
drivers union prohibited selling ice on
holiday.
Charles sagerstrom, secretary of the
drivers union, denied that any such
agreement exists. He said the agree
ment provided that when holiday fol-
lowed Sunday the men would work
Sunday and take the legal holiday off.
An official of the Boyle Ice Company
insists there is an agreement with the
union which forbids selling ice to indi-
viduals except through the union.

persons to-day" he continued, "when-
ever it is proved to US that there is a
sick person in the family, or babies who
need ice, we let them have it. I don't
know just the reason for the agreement
with the union, but there is such an
agreement"

So once more Redhead remained

jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun crept
higher and higher in the blue, blue
sky. The cool, refreshing dew dis
appeared from the grass. The air
became hot and dry. Fortunately,
Redhead was in the shade, but even
there he felt the heat. Morning be-
came noon and noon became after
noon, and afternoon drew near to
evening. All that time Redhead had
had nothing to eat. Because Of his
pain and his lack Of food he was
weak, and all the time was growing
weaker. You remember he had had no
breakfast.
Poor Redhead! He was in great
trouble, and the worst of it was he
could see no way out Of it. Sooner
Or later Black Pussy or Reddy Fox or
Jimmy Skunk would be sure to come
prowling that way, and If he hadn't
starved to death before then that
would be the end Of him.
"If only / could get up in the tree"
moaned Redhead. 81 would feel safer
up there"
He tried and tried, but he didn't
have strength enough to climb the
trunk of that tree. Each time he fell
back and for a while lay painting. He
was too weak. Lack Of food had
taken his strength. And all this
time he hadn't been discovered by
anybody. Redhead was just about
ready to give up.
