The haling of the young man before the prosecuting attorney followed the acquiring of irfformation that he had walked through the subway, at aBout the noon hour and had joyously swung his hockey stick against one of the lamps in the roof. There was a show- er of glass that attracted the atten- tion of other persons who were in the subway at the time. Captain Ryan said Thursday after- noon that for several years some have given themselves to the practice of breaking subway lamps, which, ap- parently, is a very edifying occupa- tion for restless nerves. Heretofore it has been impossible to fix responsibili- ty for such demeanors upon any per- son. The fine that may be imposed for such an”act, injury to personal prop- erty, may be ag much as $100, and also a jail sentence of six montks may be given, or both. So the breaking of subway lights is a dangerous pastime —¢f one happens to get caught at it. ST.
