Magistrate mith in Long Island City to-day gave jail sentences to Ave car Fowdies and imposed fines on several disorderly men who were caught before they got on cars last night. ‘The Mag- istrate made it plain that the Court did not intend to permit rowdyism in Queens, and that if one just had to drunk in that jurisdiction the only safe plan of campaign would be to atay afoot. Four men were taken from a trolley car coming from Oak Hill Park, on Flushing avenue, Corona, One had an open knife in his pocket and another a beer glass. ‘They refused to pay fare and attacked Conductor William Sar- vis and Inspectors Charles Baker and Cherles Fields. Policeman John B, O'Connor of the “Strong Arm” squad Was on the car in plain clothes. “Bo you say you are a policeman?” asked one of tha rowdies, “Then take O'Connor got a lively smash in the jaw. That was the finish of the rowdles. After O'Connor got through with them they were turned over to the Long Island City police and Magis- trate Smith to-day gave them thirty days each. They were: Frank Breda of No. 161% Avenue A, Charles Wilson of No. 618 Van Nest avenue, Jerry Sasek of No. 357 East Seventy-first street and Arthur Landeer of Richfleld Park, N. J.

Deputy Commissioner Dillon was at Headquarters to settle any difficulty, but none appeared, The Inspectors and captains were at their headquarters and when the hour came around everything went off smoothly. The new system divided the police- men into three platoons of twelve squads. The first platoon 1s comprised of three devisions, the second of three and the third of six. The men who went out at 7 o'clock this morning re- main on duty until 3 o'clock, Men of the other platoons are either on re- serve or off for elght or sixteen hours, In commenting on new system the Deputy Commissio: Dillon figured (hat about 4,000 men were to be on duty during the night, when they are most needed, and that, roughly, 2,000 will be ‘on patrol during the day. For the re- serve force there will be about 1,333 during the day and 666 men at night. The men on night duty work m iL until 7 o'clock in the morning, pace Clabhoas 1 to The Evening World.)

Such a marriage would mean certain unhappiness, Either she would try to convert her husband to her principles or else lapse herself into his inert lack of principle, and unhap- piness and strife would result from either course, “The trade union girl reco, nises in every non-union worker, whether man or woman, @ clog in the wheel of progress for the labor cause. She is not apt to marry a person whom she sees in such an unthinking and disastrous role. And she would not care to marry an employer opposed to unionism. ENGAGEMENT OFT BROKEN FOR UNION’S SAKE. “This is not an Miss Dreler added. the east side have told me of cases where girls have broken their engage- ments because the men to whom they were betrothed refused to join # union. It 1s not often that women are mrong enough to sacrifice persona: happiness to an abstract principle, but the Rus- sian Jewesses are especially radical 1: their ideas and fervently devoted to the les of unionism, Pr arrlaee 1s a very individual prob- lem, and one hesitates to lay down rules for any one in a matter so per- onal,” Miss Dreler added; “but the trade unton girl's intelligence makes certain things impossible to her. For- merly marriage was the working girl's only outlet from long, monotonous, dreary, underpaid toll. Trade unionism holds out another hope to her. Every year certain trades in which women are employed add a little bit to wages— the hat trimmers’ trade, for instance— of course, as the result of organiza- tion. “Mrs, Robins's remarks about mar- riage and unionism were incidental to a plea for better waces for working women. “and it is true that no working woman can live in simple comfort on less than ¥12 @ week. Of course, this seems ® very large sum com- pared with the earnings of many working women who live on $5 and $6, But the smaller sums permit a bare, hopeless existence in which girl has no time, except in the slack on, to 100k for » better job, And, of course, in the slack season even 35 a week seems a large amount to her, Girls who exist on such sums are lightly clothed, inadequately fed.

But to-day there is nothing but —nerve-wearing, sameness. “You think {t fosters discontent to urge higher wages for such work; so it does, the divine discontent that pro- duces results,” Miss Dreier added, gently. Incidentally, this champion of the working woman has one of the sweet- est voices I have ever heard. Not one of these flypaper contraltos, smeared with honey and poison for the unwary male, but low and strong and resonant, | with sweet living and sweet thoughts “There is an intimate relation b twren the question of women's wages and of marriaz».” Miss Dreler con- cluded, “for a decent wage means al decent choice of a husband.

Firemen came in time to children who were sleeping in the house. There were several during rescues, Schneider said he knew nothing of the fire. He had been misdirected on his way home from Coney Island, he sald, and had gone into the house by mistake, It was proved that he had once owned the house himself and that it was ineured for $2,500, The jury took into consideration the District- Attorney's argument that the transfer Was obviously not in good faith. “I have received many pleas for clemency toward you,” said Judge Dike in imposing sentence. “I have received satisfactory assurances of your high reputation for honesty and truthfulness and right living in the community in which you have lived. These things make your crime the more wicked, They prove that you must have known the awful thing you were doing. That you were not guilty of murder is due not to you but to the brave firemen who saved the lives of the intended vietims of your greed,” ae FIREMAN SAVES GIRL, WRAPS HER IN HIS COAT.
