Man Who Thmws Rocks a Coward, Says Prisoner | “The person who throws stones in | the settlement of personal differences | coward while the use of fists shows the real American citizen” explained Albert Wohinz of 197 North street to Judge John H. Kirkham in police court today when arraigned for ault upon Gustave Holtzman of Arch reet Tuesday afternoon. i Wohinz claimed that the fight started after Holtzman hit him in the back of the head with a well-aimed stone of substantial size. He admitted that he got after Wohinz and showed him what fists are made for. For this he ‘as fined $5 and costs. After ad- journment of court he expressed the regret that he did not punish Holtz- man more and give him a “real beat- ing."” ‘Wohinz's declaration as.to his idea of citizenship, lengthy and dramatic- ally given, furnished much amuse- ment for court officials as did his victim’s explanation of his experience with a preliminary inquiry of Judge Kirkham as to his ability to speak “Dutch.” He was told by Prosecutor George W. Klett not to bother about ability to ‘“speak Dutch” but tell about the trouble in English. Holtz- man sald the whole trouble started in an Arch street saloon Saturday night when he advised Wohinz to go home and take care of those de- pendant upon him. He =said that Tuesday the two clashed and Wohinz blackened his eyve, punched him many times in the face and kicked him. He thought it was no act of a gentleman, Assault charmes against Edward J, Wohinz, also of 197 North street, brother of Albert, were nolled by Prosecutor IKlett after he was freed from all responsibility by Dboth Al- bert and Holtzman. Albert objected to having his brother called as a wit- ness in his behalf, explaining that he was his brother and naturally would favor the accused. Tater he agreed to having him called. Later there was an illustration ot brotherly affection between the broth- ers as to who should pay the fine. Albert insisted saying that he had had the pleasure of punishing Holtzman, had the money handy and insisted upon paying for the pleasure. The comedy was continued in the lobby at headquarters when Edward J. appeared anxious and inquiry re- lative to the bail posted by their mother when they were arrested. He was assured by Albert that the moneYy was as safe as if it was in a bank and could he got at any time. “Don’t worry about it” he counseled his brother and then commented that he wished he had given Holtzman a little more punishment. is a Only One “BROMO QUININE.” To get the genuine, call for full name LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE.

Quigley op- posing the contemplated change on the ground that headquarters is now overérowded. Despite the opposition, Commissioners Moran and Steel in- sisted that the change be made and passed the former's motion over Chairman Babcock's recorded objec- tion and vote in the negative. As a result Chief Dame will have a pair of horses thrust upon him un- ceremoniously today, provided written orders for the transfer are received from Clerk A. E. Magnell. Ii will be up to him as how to make two bodies occupy the same space at the same time. He received no advice from the commissioners in response to his in- quiry last night except Comn:issioner Moran’s tart “that is up to you chief.” Chief Dame Reticent, As soon the motion for the sfer was passed Commissioner Moran showed anxiety as to how soon his pet scheme to advance efficiency could become operative. Chief Dame, who was present throughout the ses- sion, was asked relative to it. Mind- discussions reported at the ions, he said that he would obey the orders as soon as they were communicated to him in writing, Commissioner Moran, who in past meetings has often called attention to the need of giving important direc- tions in writing, applying to the gov- ernment of Chiefs Dame and Rewlings thought a moment and then asked Clerk Magnell as to how soon the communication would be sent to fire headquarters. The response was that it would he sometime today. Chief Dame then asked as to where the hose wagon, now at No. 4 house with the horses, would be placed and called attention to the crowded con- Qitions at headquarters. Commis- sioner Moran then informeéd him that this detail was up to him for solution. No suggestions were advanced to aid in solving the problem. Ccmmission- er Moran commented upon what the transfer of the horses might mean to the recreation room of the men sta- tioned at headquarters and said that provisions for the recreatien the filremen was of secondary importance and can well be solved at some future meeting of the board. Tt was suggest- ed that the pool table can be set up down cellar. He was informed that this would not be wise as that loca- and not practically san- for recreation purpos Quigley Endorses Babcock. At the opening of the seasio. Chair- man Babcock read the following communication from Mayor Quigley relative to the matter. “Your proposition to aerial ladder truck and horses from No. 4 at No. 3 engine house, is, I think, a very happy solution the problem of keeping the aerial ladder truck and horses together which would not be convenient at No. 1 due to the overcrowded condition there. “I am very pleased that you have solved this problem.” Following the reading of this com- municatian the commissioners turned to the transaction of other weighty business and did not take up the question for discussion and action until the end of the Until that question came up, there was an armed neutrality although Bill Bryan's dove of peace could have hardly been noted by critical eyes. No difference in opinion could be outwardly noted, excepting from those acquainted with the progress made by the class. When the question of trans the horses was taken up, Chairman Babcock explained tentativ reguls tions that would, in his opinion, give the desired results, more equally di- vide the apparatus and be much more satisfactory from all viewpoints. He asked the opinion of Chief Dame, who sald that stationing the horses and aerial truck at No. 3 house would be entirely satisfactory to him, would give as great protection to the city and equalize the space better than to station hoth at headquarters. He said there is sufficient space at No. 3 house for the truck and horses and called at- tention to the already overcrowded conditions at headquarters. Chair- man Babeock said that he has given the matter much study and is con- vinced that a quick time could be made to the center of the city from No. 8 house, with down grade for a start and a straight-away course, from headquarters with the two sharp turns, one into heavily travelled Main and up grade. Attention was to the difference, should there he snow. He explained that, with the Main street course, there would be more open track due to the car tracks and that oftentimes teams standing opposite headquarters wauld cause a delay in getting the truck out, o objection was made by Chairman Babcock or Chief Dame towards trans- ferring the aerial truck to either No. 3 or No. 2 house. But this would not do for Commissioners Moran and Steele. They Ttefused to approve of transferring the truck from No. | house and insisted that the horses he stationed where the truck is. Tt was explained to them that the ladders of No. 1 are of suffi- at not of and over itary place the of (Ride Rongh Shod Over Chief | e | cient length far the ordinary fire and that the big truck is not called out excepting for the second alarm in the business and factory district. w Neod More Beds, Chief Dame mentioned that there will be need for more siceping quar- ters at headquarters when the flying squadron becomes operative. He con- sidered that it is a serious problem how to staticn all of the apparatus and n:en there o as to make for the great- est efficiency Chairman Babcock thought that it was far from wise policy to group all of the apparatus there when there is space in other fire | houses, a result of a request for in- f(nnl.lllm' made by Comm one Steele a former Ieeting, a report made by Capt. T. W. Grace as to how Police Chauffeur Matthias Ri- val happened to be in the automo- bile of City Klectrician George Codl one afternoon about a week ago. It was explained that Electrician Cooley slightly injured one hand in placing one of the department’'s signal boxes at South Main and Ash streets, Po- liceman Rival heing assigned to make the trip. While on the way to the scene, John McKeever of North street 1 ocity “‘white wings,” was found suf- fering as a result of having some hoxes fall on him from a passing auto truck. McKeever was brought to headquarters in the auto of HEiec- trician Cooley and Capt. Grace in- structed Policeman Rival to assist in taking the injured man home: No comment was made relative to the report excepting a motion that it be accepted and placed on file. Chairman Babcock also informed his colleagues that what they had heard relative to difficulty in getting hor: at the Hotel Brownson fire to draw the aerial truck was entirely in error and much like the greater part of information received second- handed and from hearsay. He said that John King, night foreman at the Walker stables, was at police and fire headquarters with the pulling of the first alarm and asked as to whether there was liklihood that the horses would be wanted. Also that they were harnessed and ready when the call for the aerial truck came. This report was placed on file. Pension System to the proposed Relative pension was ceived from the members of the reg- police department in which they to pay two per cent. of their wages into the fund if a system is adopted whereby they can at any time apply for a disability pension of not less than half pay and that they can be pensioned on not less than half pay after twenty-five years of service. The change is relative to the amount of pension. The communica- tion was ordered received officlally and will be referred to the charter commi committee. A a t of a section providing for a pension and relief fund for the fire- men was presented by Commissioner Steele and discussed in detail. Some suggestions for minor technical changes were made by Clerk Magnell. It provides that the fund bo'made up of all moneys bequeathed or donated to the firemen, all money received from the sale of unfit or condemned apparatus, if the price does not ex- ceed $200, all rewards and gifts to members of the department for deeds of valor and extraordinary service with money appropriated from the city treasury by the common council. The men will be required to pay two per cent. of their wages, those refus- ing to do so not being allowed to be- come eligible for pension or relief pay. There are provisions that the trustees of the fund report annually in April to the common council as to the standing of the fund and that the common council can, at any time, make appropriations to replace defi- ciencies in the fund upon application to the bhoard of trustees. Upcn a mo- tion, it was voted to have Commis- sioner Steele present the draft with the recommendations of the police de- partment, as approved by the board, at the meeting of the charter revision committee tonight. Ryan Candidate For Asst. Flectrician. Amendments to be presented to the common council at jts mceting next week were read and approved. One provides for an increase from $2.50 to $2.75 in the daily pay of & ernum- erary policemen and another provides for an assistant city electrician. The latter lary will be $1,200 per year. An application was received from Ed- ward Ryan, mar d, of 304 Park street, now employed ag a lineman by the United Electric and Water com- pany. Chairman Babcock was in- structed to investigate his qualifica- tions. Thomas Clerkin of No. Engine company sent in an application to be retired. He is a callman and has boen a member of the department for quarter of a century. Tt was placed on file. Chief Dame was instructed to interview members of the department who have asked to be retired and de- termine if they will remain mem- bers of the department, if given as- signments on the aerial truck. Com- missioner Steele said he understands some of the men are willing te recon- sider their applications for pensions and retirement, if assigned to the aerial truck. Chief Dame says that several of them are experts i» hand- ling the truck and valuable because of experience. Chief Dame's monthly report December w read showing that there were eleven bell alarms, fifteen «till alarms, two second arms and one false alarm. The loss to buildings was about $16,000 and tc contents about $5,000. There were fifty-seven inspections of buildings and daily in- spections of the theaters were made. Tt was accepted and placed on file. Permanent members of the fire de- partment sent in an application for an increase of fifteen per cent. in their pay, the increasing high cost of liv- ing being given as the cause. Tt was tabled for consideration at the next meeting. Clerk Magnell, in response to an inquiry from Commissioner Steel announced that the increase would amount to about $7,000 additional to the payroll. Tt was decided that it was too weighty a question to settle without giving full investigation and having a thorough examination.

A few drops applied directly upon a & tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain, This ne® way to rid one’s feet of corne was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even f{rritating the surrounding tissue or skin.

TURN GRAY HAIR DARK Took youn, obody can tell if you use Grandmother’s simplc recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. 3 Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounds= ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the onl get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble-, some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, im- proved by the addition of other ingre- dients, for about 50 cents. Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened vour hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a Sponge oOr, soft brush with it and draw thigi through your hair, taking one"small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- round is a delgihtful toilet requisite & for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in- tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.
