Hopp. parents of little Wtiod-row and Norrene Hopp of No- 55 Kak-per street, to go home and live hap-Vv pily together for the sake of children which Justice HinklejS Justice Pierce and Justice Wheeler haVe each done.

Engineer Major Covell Must Not Alter Regular Channels, "He Asserts. Car Jumps Track; Policeman Cut and Passengers Shaken Patrolman Lean Saves Himself From Death Under Wheels When Main Street Car Trucks Run Into Switch Traffic Tied Up for Few Minutes. Patrolman Harry J. Lean, of the traffic squad, and three passengers whose names the police did not get, were injured this morning when the rear end of north bound Main street car No. 139 jumped the switch at Main and South Division streets.

policeman was taken to the Emergency hospital, suffering from cuts and bruises. The passengers, who were only shaken left the scene without giving their names. Traffic was tied up for several minutes, and a record crowd gathered while an emergency gang from the car barns, replaced the trucks on their own tracks. The policeman was directing traffic at the crossing. He had given the right of way to the street car, and because there is no stop at Main and South Division streets for northbound cars, the street car started ahead at.

a fast clip. The front trucks safely passed over but the switch jumped before the rear trucks touched the turning point. Lean saw the car in time to jump and save himself from being ground beneath the wheels. The rear end of the street car smashed into an electric light pole. Officers from other crossings ran to the scene and sent in calls for- ambulances.

In the meantime the passengers climbed out and got away. today. "I a mgoing to warn him of the complaint and read the section the law to him which covers the violation with which the complaint deals." Maj. Covell says that if the companies do not take steps to eliminate this danger to navigation immediately he will proceed to have their operations stopped as soon as Colonel Warren, head of this division returns ') to his office. Withdrawal of the permission the companies now have and placing them on a permit business, he says be the punishment meted out ito them.

Besides Maj. Covell, states that if they get evidence of a specific- violation of the law the department will prosecute them in the criminal court. "If these companies are made to secure permits to operate that will mean that for the Jeast provocation thesa permits can- be taken from them, and they will not be allowed to operate," said the major. Several times in the past the lighthouse department has had trouble in placing light buoys along the channel because of the dredging operations of these same companies, according to the major. At one time, he says, one of the companies sucked up a buoy anchor with one.

of their sand; suckers and the buoy drifted down the river. Several times, also, when the spar buoys were being placed in the spring wokment have found that at the location of a buoy the bottom would be dredged to such a depth that the spars would not reach bottom. POLICE TO DRIVE PICKPOCKETS FROM LOCAL SUMMER RESORTS Light Fingered Tribe to be Scattered Many Suspects Already Driven Away -Aim to Keep Beaches and Passenger Boats Free of All Undesirables.

Moore Resumes Work on Probe With his staff of investigators doubled through arrival from New York of two new men nominated by. the Lock-wood committee, District Attorney Moore today resumed his preparation for the building graft probe with increased speed. Next week the grand jury will convene to hear evidence. There will be a great bulk of it. Mr.

Moore said today that the Buffalo Fire Underwriters' amendment of their rules does not necessarily mean their association will not be investigated. In view of the statements made in connection with the recent Untermyer investigation, of the extraordinary profits of the insurance companies, the following actual facts may be of interest: The figures are quoted from the Spectator of New York, the leading technical insurance journal in the United StatetL and their figures are, in turn, taken from the official records of the New York state insurance department From these records a tabulation, has been compiled showing that during the past 10 years, the 100 leading casualty companies reporting to the New York department have made an underwriting profit of only of one per cent of the premiums written; thus in 10 years the 100 companies have only made an underwriting profit of an average of $662,000 annually for 100 companies or about $6,000 per company. The tabulation further shows that the dividends of $39,999,999 paid during the 10 rears by the 100 companies were all earned and paid out of investment income. It is interesting to not that in 10 years 100 companies have paid dividends of only $39,000,000 or an average of. $39,000 annually per company.

Hold Man; Say He's Member of Bandit Gang William Boyd, 24 years old, of No. 200 Orlando street, was arrested this morning and police say has been identified as one of the men seen running from the yard of the L. Doelman company at No. 588 Seneca street, on the morning of July 12, when Patrolman Edward Kennedy spied a trio of burglars about to blpw the company's safe located on the second floor. Be fore the patrolman had a chance to sayj anything, the burglars nrea about du shots, none of which tooK eitect.

ine patrolman replied with 12 from his own revolver. The patrolman seeing that odds were three against one. left the! place and summoned help- When he returned the safe crackers were gone. The burglars stole about $150 from the safe. Boyd will be held pending a thorough investigation, which the police are now conducting.

ASK HIM TO SETTLE FOR HOUSE FURNITURE The easy but risky way of payirig a little bit down and the rest some time later was, according to the police, the way John Benninger, 33 years old, of Rochester, bought $500 worth of furni-. in the nearby city last week. Ben ninger according to the complaint, paid $10 down and then moved the furniture to a house on Michigan avenue, Ihis city. He was caught last night and is being held on a larceny charge for Rochester police. NE judge in New York tate ruled that a woman who stole $10 from her husband's pockets was guilty of violating the law.

He sent her to jail for four months. Another judge, reviewing the case, freed her on the ground that an old, old law holds that a mar- ried woman cannot be adjudged guilty of stealing from her husband. Far be it from us to criticize the bench, but it does seem fair that a wife should tell her husband she is going to steal in case she has Jo steal. But why teal?

"These people apparently don't want to get along together, for they let their relatives interfere." dclared Justice Pierce. "The husband must take Norrene home The wife must bring Wood-row home and the cnildren must sleep in their home, the lower fl at. each night. The husband must pay a $50 counsel fee and $5 a week alimony and I'll refer the separation action to Attorney Paul to hear, try and deter mine immediately." Hopp, a railroad man.

was made defendant in a separation action by his wife, who alleged cruel 'and inhuman treatment. The last and newest allegation she raised was the one recited in court today that Hopp is alleged to have sneertd at her of late and to have twitted her about their "red-headed son, Woodrow. The case was in court today on sn application to punish the husband for alleged contempt of court for his failure to return the little girl to her home. He has had her in Derby at his parent's farm- since July 4. He claimed his wife was not keeping the boy at home in compliance with Justice Hinkleys order, so he did not take the little girl home.

A further motion in court requested alimony and counsel fees for the wife while an additional motion to amend Justice Hinkley's order in reference to custody of the children was made by the husband. Following the direction of Justice Hinkley a couple of weeks ago, that they -go home, forget the action, keep away from their relatives and live together for the sake of the children. Hopp, he told the court today, rented a single house at No. 150 Downing street, so he could take his wife and children away fro mher relatives, who live upstairs at the Hamper street home. But that plan was all smashed when Justice Pierce directed immediate trial of the separation action.

Mrs. Hopp asks sepra.tion from 4 Her husband, and Hopp asks separation from the wife on a counter claim. Undoubtedly there will be a spara-tion. but which- one will prove sufficient cruel and inhuman treatment or abandonment will have to be determined by Referee Paul. Thundershowers Coming Today! Probable thundershowers are predicted for today by David Cuthbert-son, the local weathef chief.

He said that the temperature will be well over the 80-degree mark, but a light wind will be on hand to blow off any great discomforts. The highest temperature for yesterday was 86 degrees. The theremome- ter climbed steadily from early In the V. morning, when the temperature was at 69 degrees, until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the maximum temperature for the day was recorded.

NEAR RIOT AT BASEBALL PARK Umpire and Pitcher Go to Police Station on Assault Charges After Melee Riot Call Brings Re serves. There is peace once more in organized baseball as far as the International league and Buffalo is concerned. Joseph Tomlin, a pitcher on the Buffalo team and living at No. 65 Oxford avenue, was arraignd in city court today before Judge Standart on complaint of Joseph O'Brien of Troy, an umpire in the league, who charged that the pitcher struck him in the right eye and kicked him in the body. President Sam Robertson of the Buffalo club straightened out matters before the case was called and when court convened O'Brien said he was willing to withdraw the warrant.

In the game yesterday an argument arose over a fly ball. The umpire ruled against the Bisons in his decision. Then Tomlin came in from the pitcher's box and took off his gloves. No one knows who struck the first blow. Both men were sporting a "shiner" when they appeared in court today.

Uniformed officers and plain clothes men were called into action yesterday afternoon to quell an incipient riot at the International league baseball park, which broke out in the fifth inning of the game between Buffalo and the Jersey City Skeeters, with Umpire Joe O'Brien and Pitcher, Tomlin of the local team as the central figures! 1 ira n'Rricn and Tnmlin jit hp sue- i of Assistant District Attorney Bart Sumner, were arrested by the ponce or tne Joia jspring sianon on 1. 11 r-t ira a assault charees. Both will have a hearing in city court. They were balled out by officials of the local club. O'Brien's position became dangerous when in the third inning he banished Jacobs of the local team from the field for arguing.

Jacobs expostulated that he had caught a bnV. hit by Kane, of the Skeeters on tne fiy. but O'Brien ruled that the ball had been trapped. His action in shooing- Jacobs to the clubhouse brought a storm of protest. In the fifth inning Pitcher Tomlin said 'something which irritated O'Brien and he pulled the mask from his face and the fight was on.

In the meantime with players leaving their positions in the playing field and the crowd swarming over the fences, and towards the group on the diamond. the police had their hands full. A riot call was aent to the Cold Spring station, and the plnyers shooed back to their posts, and the spectator to their seats The umpire was spirited out or a side exit from the ball park, and the crowd who got word of the trick, hustled to the police station just in time to see lhe police and principals enter the door. The umpire suffered an injury to one eye. and Tomlin has a cut on the cheek.

SUSPEND SENTENCE ON O'LAUGHLIN Raymond O'Laughlin, 26 years old, of No. 98 Waiter street, pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary, third degree, before Judge Noonan in county court this morning and was sentenced to Auburn prison for a term of three years.

Last week complaint was made to Major Covell by 60 owners of river pleasure' craft who stated that, as a result of the work of the sandsuckers that are tearing the ialand away, navigation below the island has been made dangerous. Trees, some of them 40 feet in length, theJRsay, are torn loose from the island and allowed to drift into the channel and on down the river.

Maj. Covell says that the sand com-nnnipst nneratine in the river are doing so by permission of the engineering department and they are supposed to oomnlv with the rules of navigation. By this he means that they are not to allow their operations to alter in any way tne channel marked out by channel buoys, cause obstructions to naxigation, or in any other way make it hazardous for ships, small or large, to navigate the channel. Representatives Notified. "I have notified a representative of one of the sand companies, probably tha In rcoKt nnpratine there, to be at mv Office this morning," said Maj.

Keating of the Genesee street station Jvouse who was to face trial on an intoxication charge forwarded his resignation this morning and it was accepted. It was alleged by Capt.

Ronan is preparing to ask the public service commission for a re-hearing of the fare proceeding and to appeal to the courts from the commission's award. If the trolley company does not quickly provide adequate service, if it entitled-to charge the higher fare, the city may try some new form of action.
