OM END OF STRKE Entire City Acknowledges Mayor Accomplished the Seeming Impossible HE WORKED SKILFULLY Disorder Kept Down to Trivial Scuffles, With Fairness to Both Sides, ‘The ending of the street car strike Before it was fuiriy under way, when the trade parsiyeia, incony jence. foes and bloodshed of « city-wide eampaign of ks seemed sure to come, brightened up the whole face @f New York to-day, Men, women and children regarded the appear- ance of unguarded cars with smiles back of wh were grateful ac- knowledgoments to Mayor Mitchel for having complished what was seemingly impossible, In the deep concern of the city for the object which the Mayor and his Associates were necking, the heavy Burden of sheer mental and physical labor which he was carrying was everlooked, To-day it was possible to realize how hard and how skil- funy and winely he had been working—as tented by the results lieved, From the day the Yonkers strike threatened to cross the New York City line the Mayor put not only the police machinery of gathering information into action, but sent out his own con- Adential observers—mombers of tho City Hall staft—to keep him con. etantly informed of every phaso of the conflict. WANTED TO BE SURE IT WOULD SUCCEED. Bo it was that whon persons who were really less well informed than Kimself, asked him to intercede be- tween the Union Railway and its men in the Bronx, the Mayor declined, say- ing he did not care to interfere until he was “sure his interference would be effective,” but at the same time giving Borough President Mathewson all authority of the city to sanction any measures looking toward a settle- ment. Before the controversy could be brought to a head the strike had to read through tho Third Avenue system's downtown properties into Manhattan and to the whole of the surface car network of the borough. Through this stage Mayor Mitchel and his Polico Commissioner were in their offices and in their automo- biles or attending conferences eigh- teen hours a day, working out for the first time in the history of trac- tion strikes the problem of preventing riots without unfairness to either the strikers or the employers. A summary of the actual outbreaks of disorder for a week of tense feeling shows only a record of trivial scuffles; @ motorman knocked down by a brick, ‘a policeman bitten by a woman crazed with the desire to stir up trouble and have a part in it, @ score of bruised heads and black eyes—no bloodshed, no bullets and no loss of property beyond a few broken car windows—and best of al] no charge by the strikers or their most fervent partisans that the police were being used the tool of “capital.” TRUCE MADE INTO A NENT PEACE. ‘The Mayor, taking counsel with the wisdom and experience and official’ capacity of Osca, 8, Straus, picked Sunday as the day when the situation was ripe for settlement—when both sides had so developed their strength that a truce could be made into a per- manent peace. The confidence of the labpr men, always suspicious of official interven- tion, especially by one who had never ‘posed as a “friend of labor,” was first to be gained. They were convinced that the Mayor really meant what he said when he told them he could see RMA- nothing unreasonable in their de- mands, Infinitely more difficult was the setting forth to the executive heads of the railroads the idea that their Prejudices, pride and traditions were of little weight in the balance as sgainsi the comfort, business, health and order of the millions of the people of the City of New York. But after Sunday's meetings at the Bar Association, the Mahers, Mr, Shonts and Mr, Hedley were willing to start @ new page in New York traction history. But there were the directors to be brought into line behind the mana- ‘ers, Tho whole idea of peace by agreement and mutual reason was entirely foreign to their 4 fashioned ideas of handling a la » body of employees. 4 It was not until the ryor, with the aid of last evening's swspapers, brought home to them that a break in the negotiations would be charged to them individually by the city's millions and by the whole country, that their obstinacy gave way. —_—_————— ce Harrison of Plains found what he thought was cottage cheese nd ate a meal of it, Several hours er the stomach pump in the alma- use drew a quintty of slacked lime rom Sandy's innards He will re- cover, b in his convulsions both eyes ly turned t ft vill jopod” the cheese,” ? = ENN ye sine 2 edamame mp ee a | What Sort of AM INTEC The New York Girl ‘‘Gets Back’’ at the New York Young Man Who Is | Really Silly and ‘‘Kid- ding’’ Only Himself His Critic Wants None | of Him. | Does the New Yorker Pass | Up the Sensible Girl for | the Fluffy Empty -| Head?—More Than One| Caustic Lettet Writer| Says So. enjoyii intirely too in a wife.

Not since the round-up of the fire- bug band in 1895 has a conspiracy to defraud insurance companies, as wide- spread as this, been unearthed by the officials, it is claimed, Ryan and Me- Donald have told District Attorney Bwann that they were but two of a number of persons employed only for the purpose of arranging fake acci- dents, They also had charge of tho men and women who sustained the “accidents.” They exposed the a: tem employed to the District Attorney showing him how easy it was to com- pel corporations and house owners to pay small claims rather than to sub- mit to long and costly litigation, The two prisoners told District At- torney Swann and Mr. Ryttenberg that @ year and @ half ago they had an honest claim for personal injury and took it to one of the lawyers they name now as being @ leader in the conspiracy, but who then was un- known to them, When they expressed their gratification over the way the sult had been handled he offered them employment in bringing acci- dent cases to his office for trial.
