Rules gtven to the Bridge police to-day when they were detailed to catcn wary Bridge-Crush Hog: Be sure you have your man right before grabbing him; then grab him good strong. Mingle with the crowd and hover near the prettiest women. You willssee the hog in full action in their vicinity. If the crowd Is too dense to permit of taking him right there and then, fol- ow him into the car and make the arrest on the other end of the bridge. If ‘possible get the name and address of the hog’s victim. Better still, give him a resolute jab in the region of the solar plexus as a warning when he starts pushing and elbowing. Lotter near the staircases, too. There the hog gets in his work. You will observe that a woman ts directly ahead.
