8 A GUARD FOR STREET CARS People Demanding Protection From Unmanlv Neerses DANGER ITCHILDREN Citizens Going Armed Who Hav ent Toted a Gun for Years. Provost guards for the street cars are by the people generally. Nearly every day there is trouble of some kind growing out of the conduct of negro soldiers who use the street raiway lines. The conductors seem to be helpless to insure the good behavior of these men in the presence of ladies and children. It has happened several times that citi zens have been compelled to intervene and put unruly men off the ears. “If something in the way of a guard de tail for the street railways be not done at once,’’ said a citizen today, “there is going to be a lot of blood spilled. I know of many gentlemen now going armed who have not before carried a pistol in many years. They will surely make an example of somebody. We cannot permit our wives and children who use the cars to be sub jected to the slightest to risk of annoy ance, offense or insult. There are many school children who have to ride to and from their homes and a provost guard is needed to protect them, if nobody else. The application for these guards should not be delayed another day.’’ This afternoon a 'News rejorted saw Ma jor Winters, the manager of the Consolida ted lines, and was Informed that early this morning he had taken up the matter with Major Logan, the provost marshal, ar.d had received information that the officials cdnsent to the assignment of the guards on the cars. The guards will be placed at once. Major Logan showed great interest in remedying the evil and it is believed therb will be’ no trouble hereafter. O -A. J 3 TOm. X A. .
