TRAPPED BY AUTOS
Breaks Away at nth Avenue
and Has Exciting Chase

FINALLY IS LASSOED.
Chauffeur Who Casts Rope Is
Arrested but Is EX-

Five steers got away to-day from
cattle drivers of the Joseph Stern &
Co. abbatoir at 11th Avenue and 10th
Street on the way from a North River
pier. Four were easily headed off
and herded back to the slaughter
house; one persisted in galloping
away from the place of doom and
made off up 18th Avenue to 56th
Street and rambled across town
frightened into a shambing trot by
shouts and waving arms.
Rudolph Miller. said to be a chauf-

to get ahead of the steer on First
Avenue. It gallopod north to 56th
Street and west to Third Avenue. BY
this time a constantly growing multi

so frightened he was butting elevated
railroad pillars and threatening sal

Miller called on other chauGfeurs
for help and drew a Gordon of them
across the avenue at 55th Street,
which brought the steer to a halt.
From a neighboring shop a small boy
brought hank of clothes rope and
Miller lassoed the fugitive. The steer
then was bound and gagged.
Special Policeman Howard of the
S. p. c. A, which had received a
score of telephone reports of the ad-
ventures of the steer, arrived and
telephoned for an animal ambulance.
Close behind him was Special Police

POLICEMAN FULFILLED DUTY
BY SHOOTING BROTHER OFFICER,
SUPERIORS DECIDE AFTER QUIZ
O'Connell Exonerated For
Shooting Down Slenth Who
Had Terrorized Apartment.
FOUGHT ON STAIRWAY.
Booze Blamed for Rampage"
Which Resulted in
Killing.

After an investigation conducted by
Assistant District Attorney Dineen,
Chief Inspector Lahey and Acting In
s. -ector Coughln, lasting until 6
o'clock this morning, it was decided
that Patrolman James j. O'Connell
performed only good police duty in
shooting and killing Patrolman Frank
G. Brojer, who had attacked him.
At the time Brojer. Carnegie
Medal hero, was not in uniform and
O'Connell had no idea he was a
policeman. The shooting occurred
last night at No. 769 Columbus Ave
pue and was brought abont, the in
vesti CATION disclosed, by bad whiskey
the slain man had drunk airsn night
of registering.
O'Connell was suspended as a mat
ter of department routine, but he was
not placed under arrest, though he
was detained all night for question
ing at the West Tooth Street Station.
where all the witnesses of the tragedy
were searchingly intcrrogatcd
Brojcr, twenty-sX years old,
lived at No. GA Caudwell Avenue,
the Bronx, with his wife and seven
yoar-old baby. He had been
year and a week on the force. OCon-
nell has been twelve years on tho
force, has two honor medals. and lives
with his wife and one child at Wood
haven.
The story of the tragedy is simple.
Brojer was formerly attached TO the
West Tooth Street Station and his
death occurred on his former post.
O'Connell was patrollnS that post for
the first time last night having been
transferred from the Ii Sale Street
Station. which closed yesterday. He
and Brojer were not acquainted.
Last night Brojer, in plain clothes.
went to his old post, where he was
we'll known. Ordinarily he was
sober young fellow. The first known
of his movements was when James
Mccormick, a taxicab driver, went
back to his machine in front OF the
Reconstruction Hospital, at Tooth
Street and Central Park West, after
getting some cigarettes, and found
Brojer. whom he did not know sit
ting on the front seat.
"Drive me around" ordered Brojer.
Mccormick replied he had two fares
in the hospital and had to wait for
them. Brojer displayed his shield,
drew a revolver and replied;
You'll drive or you'll get a smell
OF lead"
He got back in the passengers seat
and Mccormick started south. He had
gone only short distance when the
glass behind him and th9 windshield
were shattered as a bullet whizZed
by his head. Near 98th Street there
was a second shot and the chauffeur
rolled into the gutter, got up and ran.
The cab, which was going slowly.
struck a tree few feet further on.
Brojer jumped out and dartod into
house nearby. Mccormick went to

the present Election Law in the re-
port of the Legislative Committee on
Recodificstion and Revision of the
Election Law submitted TO the Leg
stature at noon day.
The report says the law comprises
about 400 sections, which the com
mittcc has cut down to about 294,
the bills to cover which were intro
duccd simultaneously in both Houses.
The Primary Law, amended at the
last session to provide conventions
for nominating State and judicial Of
ficcrs is left as it is.
Half a million dollars a year is the
saving throughout the State which
it is asserted the various economies
proposed will effect
Provisions have been prepared to
enforce the literary test for new vot-
ers in accordance with the constitu-
tional amendment recently adopted,
using the Massachusetts system as a
basis.
TO New York City the system, now
obtaining elsewhere, has been ex-
tended which eliminates the services
of poll and ballot clerks, in the belief
that -four inspectors can do all the
work required for polling the vote.
Other substantial changes tending
to economy, labor saving and con-
venience of voters include:
The polls of a Primary Election,
outside of New York City, will open
at noon instead OF at 7 A. NJ.
Election district boundaries are not
to be published, but the posting of
district maps annually in cities is re-
tanned.
The pay of canvassing inspectors
in New York City is increased to $40.
which still leaves the total compen-
sation of election officers in a district
substantially less than it is now.
Present limitations on salaries of
Commissioners of Elections outside of
New York City are removed, leaving
the matter entirely in the hands of
the Boards of Supervisors.
Card lists of registered voters are
abolished except in cities of the first
and second class, where only one set
is permitted.
