TREAoHERoUs ITALIAN. ALLIES
Boulevard Laborers Horribly Beat
Their American AesocIate.

Anglo Anvast of Newark was held by
Justice Nevin in the Second Criminal
Court this morning for examination on
the charge of atrocious assault and bat
terry upon George Aiken of No. 10 Blocker
street. Warrants were also issued for
the arrest Of Sandt Gumvallo and Jos.
Zippo. The four men are employed by
Contractor Baker, who is laying the side
walks on the Boulevard, north of Newark
avenue.
Aiken was the only American in the
gang, which was at work yesterday near
Congress street He conceived dislike
for Gumvallo. AT noon yesterday he
bought pail of beer. He treated Anvast
and zippo, with whom he was on good
terms. but refused to share with Gum
vallo. Gumyallo got into an argument
with Aiken and ended by splitting his
lip open with a sharp hoe
Aiken pitched into GumvaIio and call
ed upon the two Italians, who we're en-
joying his beer, to help him. Instead
they seized their spades ana beat him
until he was unconscious. Anvast was
the only one of the three Italians who
could be found when Aiken was able to
tell what had happened to him. He was
covered with cuts and bruises and was
scarcely able to appear In court this

Charles Graham. From
Whom He Escaped, Cap

Staten Island.
GOOD AMATEUR DETECTIVE WORK

tions to Prevent His Getting
Away Again Held
for Requisition.
FOOD AMATEUR DETECTIVE WORK

SCharles Graham, the clerk for George
f. Holmes, who allowed swindler Charles
Walker to escape from him yesterday
afternoon retrieved his i'll fortune by ar
resting Walker last evening in Port Rich
mond, Staten Island. Graham smarted
yesterday under the criticism which was
made of his attempts to play policeman
and he resolved to show his critics that
he was some good in the police line after
all. When 1t became evident that Walker
had not gone to the New York ferries,
Graham went back to the house on Ar
lington avenue from which Walker had
escaped, and examined the premises. He
found the place in the yard, where Walker
landed when he jumped from the second
story, by the prints of heels in the soft
earth. From these Graham easily tracked
Walker across a lot to neighboring
house. He made inquiries at the house
and learned that instead of taking car
to the ferry Walker boarded a car bound
for Bayonne. Graham jumped upon the
next trolley that came along and went
to Bergen Point. He naturally inferred
that Walker had crossed the ferry to
Staten Island and it was not long be-
fore he was in Port Richmond.
He went to neighboring building from
which he could command view of the
approach to the ferry and sat down to
think of what to do next. While thus
engaged he saw Walker rapidly ap-
preaching the ferry just as the boat was
preparing to leave the slip. Graham
walked out and confronted Walker.
How do you do?" he exclaimed as he
seized Walker by the coat. Walker
made no reply, but his face plainly
showed how surprised he was to see Gra-
ham. He made no reply but made an
effort to wriggle out of his coat. Gra-
ham grabbed him by the arm, where
upon Walker drew back and dealt Gra-
ham powerful blow In the face. That
was all Graham, who is a clever boxer
and good all-around athlete, wanted. He
hit back and all the woes he had suffered
through Walker was in the blow. But
Walker was not slow with his fists, sand
in sort time the two men were going
at each other hammer and tongs. Gra-
ham was the better man and after CIV
ing Walker sound thrashing he drove
him to the ferry waiting room.
In a few minutes a big fat policeman
came along and proposed to arrest both
men for fighting on the street. Graham
told about Walkers transactions, includ-
ing the escape from the Arlington ave-
nue. building. The policeman listened at
tentively to the recital and when
Graham had finished he Hump;
well. he won't get away from me- and
he produced a pair Of old fashioned hand
cuffs with chain almost as big as an OK
chain, and quickly snapped them on
Walkers wrists. The swindler was then
locked up and will be held by the Staten
Island authorities until requisition pa
pers are secured when he will be turned
over to the Jersey City police

DEPEW's PROPHECY.
Declares Mckinley VIII EIake the
Arbitration Treaty Law.

fBy Cable to The Associated Press
LONDON, June 25 1S97.-The Echo"
this afternoon, publishes an interview
with DR.. Chauncey M. Depew. during
which he is quoted as expressing the be-
lief that the Arbitration Treaty between
the United States and Great Britain will
be law before the end of President Nc
Kinleys term of Office
Regarding the anti-British feeling in the
United States. DR.. Depew remarked in
this interview
Americans have deep distrust of the
methods of the British Government in re-
gard to British land-grabbers. I admit
that when they grab they give the people
better government; but Americans fear
they will not be content with grabbing
the land of the Old World and are going
to try to grab the New World. Anything
of that kind done in our hemisphere we
want to do it ourselves.
This suspicion of the foreign policy is
the reason for the failure of the Arbitra-
ton Treaty, though Irish opinion may
have helped for America has deep SYM
pathy for ireland and Home Rule. as it
seems to be the natural development of
the Federal idea. A permanent tribunal
for Great Britain and America must
come. President Mckinley and the most
thoughtful Americans are in favor of it,
