They were bailed out and in a big expreas wagon went back to the Fishgold domestic bastile at No, 444 Blake Avenue, where their great fight for family sovereignty had taken place, The trouble started over a can of beer for which Jacob went on a certain hot night early this week. Jacob was starting out of the saloon when he noticed that the foam in the can did not quite reach the top. He began to cuss aloud. Deputy Sheriff Sam Friedman, passing, heard Jacob swear and ordered him to stop. Jacob re- plied by hitting the deputy on the head with the can of beer. Friedman was stunned and half drowned and | yelled for hetp. Jacob ran toward | home, Policeman Thomas Riley heard Friedman's cry for help and came @-running. Qn his way he bumped into Jacob, and Jacob let go another swing with the empty can and ¢con- tinued on his way. Riley blew his whistle and this brought Detective Joseph Donnelian, Donnelan bumped into Jacob too, and Jacob smashed him with the can and kept on run- ning. Outside the Fishgold home the three officers held a powwow and de- cided that if the other members of the family were gifted with Jake's tendencies it would be best to make ® combined attack on the house, Riley led the way with drawn club, He broke in the door, poked his head in and zowle! Sister Bessie hit him @ stunner with her broom.

Over the vigorous protests of Act- ing Maycr George McAneny, and completely ignoring the opinion of the Corporation Counsel's office, the Board of Estimate to-day took steps which may tie up $12,000,000 of the most important part of the $330,000,- 000 subway Job and threaten a long ‘delay in the completion of the dual system. Last week the board adopted a | suggestion by Tilden Adamson of tts | Bureau of Contract Supervision can- | celling what is known as the lump |sum clause in the subway contract agreements on the ground that under the lump sum agreement the con- tractors were making too great ‘profits, Before the vote was taken to-day Acting Mayor McAneny warned his colleagues that their vote could not validate their action in view of the dissenting opinion of the Corporation Counsel's office, “If we antagonize the contractors jand they go into court,” said Mc- |Aneny to-day, “the subway work will ibe seriously delayed at its most im- [portant point—Times Square—and the jeity will lose hundreds of thousands {of dollars.
