George W. Jobnson, a negro, was arraigned in the West Fifty-fourth street court yesterday for pushing Itaskin Stewart out of a second-story window at his home at 231 West Forty-first street. As the Stewart woman had not been seriously Injured, according to a surgeon's certificate from the Roosevelt Hospital, and as there was no substantial ovldenco against the prisoner. Magistrate Deuel did not take the matter very seriously. " How do you earn a living, Johnson 1" asked the Magistrate.

Lawyer Kelly moved to sot tho verdict aside on tho evldcnco and the excep tions, and " for other reasons." Justice Garret son denied tbo motion, but granted a stay of ex ecution for thirty days. Mr. Kelly said be had heard that two of the jurors visited tho scene of tho accldont on Sunday last and asked ques tions of tho residents concerning the accident. This action, Mr. Kelly boliovcs, will probably result in having the verdict set aside. Mr. Ijewls sued for 50,000 damages, hut before tho caso was submitted to tho Jury his counsel said ho would be satisfied with $5,000.

The Pollco Board accepted yesterday a propo sition of Philip Hhlnclandcr to glvo to the force a medal for bravory skin to tho Bonnctt modal in .bo Firo Departoht. Tho medal is to bo known ks the "Rhlnol.ihdcr medal of vnlor." It will bo of gold, ot the shupo of plain tcrosa with tho ralsod figure of a policeman In an oval wreath. Once a yo ir, on p rado d y, tho M yor, or ono of tho Pollco Commissioners, will glvo It o he policeman who has mo tdls InguLhed hltmclf by personal bravery in the preceding twelvemonth. , The only condition mndo by tho giver Is that the recipient thall "havo performed an net of exceptional valor at tho porll of his own Uto and showing a high order ot Intelligence." Tho Pollco Comml lonor aro to pick out tho man, but if they can not agree, tho Mayor shall havo the decldl g voto. fihduld no pollcoman have distinguished himself ohough i any ono yoar to da ervo tbo modal, nono shall be glvo 1. Mr. Hhlnclandcr wroto that It was "tho car nest desire ot tho donor that this medal shall be awarded tn tho spirit in which It is present ed to the deportment." Tho board assured blm of Its appreciation and of tho gratitude of the department. The night stick came up for a hearing. Pres ident Moss brought it up in tho following ro.o lutlon: Resolved, That tho use of the night stick bo discontinued, except on such posts as may bo designated by tho Chief of Police." Mr. Moss said thnt he had been misunder stood. Ho wished to testify to his full appre ciation of tho good qualities of tho pollco forco, aud ho was anxious to got for It tho good will of the people. "Ono of tho most unpleasant habits of police men," ho said, "Is that of constantly twirling their night sticks on their thumbs. It makes a bad impression on a stranger to seo a big pollco man twirling what must look to blm Uko a cart rung by a leathern thong, and tho belief prevails that thoso who twirl will uso tho club, too, on slight provocation. Kow.lhcro Is a reason for this twirling. Tho night stick Is heavy and uncom fortable to carry In tho bolt, I am told. It Is easier to carry in tho hand. So carried, when some suddon emergency arises, It comes down upon a head easier than It It sat In Its socket. If it was there, tho man would havo tlmo to think." By Mr. Moss a request tho thrco "sticks" of tho forco wcru brought In and laid on the table, tho long night stick of yollow locust, tho dny stick of red rosewood with fancy turned hnndlo and tho short but cmphatlo "billy." Mr. Moss took up tho day stick. "They say, ho commented as ho hewed tho air with it, 'that thn night stick Is less danger ous than this, yet, curiously enough, the strong est pica for It is that to take it from a police man Is to rob him of his defence. I think my self that tho rosowood stick strikes a harder blow, but it stays in tho belt. It can't bo twirled. This (picking up tho locust) stays in tho hand." Commissioner Andrews suggested thnt n rulo might bo mndo to lit tbo case, but Mr. Mots said that no rulo would work. There was om now forbidding twirling. Tho clubs passed from hnnd to hand. Mr. Andrews wns examining tho day stick when tho policeman detailed to his ofllco, Edward Moran, who stood behind him, said: "It Is no good. It breaks right here," point ing to the turned handle. "Ono heavy blow and it snaps right off." "Ono minute," said Mr. Andrews. "Hero Is expert testimony from a man who has car ried a club twenty years nnd never had a chargo against him. Toll us about it, Mornn." "Yes," Bold Mr. Mos, "toll us why the men don'tjlke to carry the night stick In their belts." "It Isn't tbo stick," said Policeman Mornn, "It's the belt they don't like. It sags with tho club in it, and wears out tho uniform so n man has to get a now coat when nothing clso Is wrong. The night stick Is all right. Thcro is no stick like it to do duty with. Crooks aro inoro afraid ot that than anything. Mr. Andrews applauded. "Good for you, Moran. Speak for your stick," ho said. "It wouldn't be riirht if I didn't." said tho champion ot the night stick. "It is 11 good stick, and it don't hurt thom near as much as they think. It isn't dead weight, liko this," pointing disdainfully to tho stick of rosowood. "There s Bprlng in tho locust. I never heard of a man getting killed with It." "Well," said Mr. Moss, "that Is testimony Btraight out. If tho heads of departments would sometimes consult with their men, per haps thoy would And tilings out. I know tho men love tho night stick, yet wohnooipcrt testimony thnt it doe hurt- But I liavo a personal concern in this. If tho board does not help me abolish the night stick, perhaps 1 may be dead In tlirco months. I got this letter yesterday.'- Tho President produced an anonymous letter advising him to lay low" In tho matter of tho night stick. "Who nro you, anyhowl" tho lcttor went on.

You aro n hairy old boy." "You don't suppose now, Mr. President," snld Mr. Andrews with much concern, "that they would tako you by tho forelock, do you!" Mr. Moss, who Is very bald, laughed. "They would havo a bard tlmo doing It," ho said. Chief McCiillagh hnd enmo up to tako a hand In tlio discussion. Tho hoard nsked what ho thought of tho night stick. "My oxperienco 1b," said the Chief, "thnt It Is a useful weapon when judiciously adminis tered. Sometimes, no doubt, it Is not. Somo men can stand a little hit; others cannot. Now, let mo show you." Tho Chler, uslnu' Patrolman Mornn as 0 110-flgiirc, proceeded to lllublrato what ho could dt wlthiinlght ttleknnd liciwlt wns usolcss at loso nunrtcrs. Sir. Andrews said that thn criticism made In tho board waB upon the twirling habit of tho men. The Chief responded Hint It was a violation of rulo 152. 'Yes. nnd mom thnn half tho forco vlolntes rulo 152 every night," interjected Mr. Moss. "If they do," said tbo Chief. "It will be here after tho'Captnlns' fault. I told them only yes terday tn stop tho practice. Tho men will obey. If mndo to do It, I think it would be wrong to tnke tbo night stick from them.

Ho mndo a nweep with thu long club nt arm's length nnd Commissioners Andrews and Smith, who were within rnnue, ducked their bends. Thn Chief smiled. "Ho can't get nt you with his knife." ho said. "Then you can call assistance with It. It has a vilce. which tho ruuivood has not. But Its ha k Is worse than lis blti." Mr. Moss wanted to know why H)rnes nbol ished thonlKlit stick.
