CUT OFF THE BABY'S ARM.
Crowd Tried to Do Injury to
 Automobile Driver.

Required Assistance of Seven Police
 men to Protect Him from Angry
 Italians-The Driver Was Arraigned
 In Court. But Was Promptly Dis
 charged-The Affair Was an Aeci-
 dent That Could Not Be Avoided.
 New York, Aug 24.-An incipient riot. which was quelled only on the ar rival of the police reserves, was caused yesterday at Five Points by an automobile accident, which resulted in the loss of an arm of Louis Carmellie, aged % months. The vehicle which caused the trouble was an automobile Of the hanson type. Notwithstanding it was provided with thick rubber tires the child's arm was severed from the body directly above the elbow.
 Richard Meade of No 114 East Thir- ty-second street, was driving the ma chine when the child was run over. For a short while it looked as though he would fall a victim to the fury of some 300 angry Italians. He was only rescued through the prompt action Of Policeman Curran, and was escorted by six policemen to the Center street police court, where he was later ar raigned. The injured child and his mother, who had tainted at the sight of its sufferings, were taken to the Hudson street hospital.
 The occupants of the vehicle were H. R. Root, who lives at the Waldorf IN NG,nrr 6a1sn on their way to their offices at No 40 Wall street. It was shortly after n o'clock when the cab was turned into Mulberry street, and was bowling along at a good clip by the time it reached Five Points.
 Meade stopped his machine at once. But before he could descend a crowd of excited Italians had gathered around the child and when they saw that its right arm had been severed from the body above the elbow they begun to cry for vengeance.
 Policeman Yaw was the first to re- spond to Curran's call, and he helped to keep the crowd at bay until some half a dozen more uniformed men had arrived. Then Meade was escorted to the police station by seven policemen, while Yaw, who was able to manage the cab, steered it after them.
 Meanwhile an ambulance had been summoned, and after taking measures to stop the flow of blood Dr Holman placed the child inside with its moth CT. who was overcome with fright.
 Later Meade was arraigned in Center street court before Magistrate Olmsted and discharged. Several witnesses agreed that he did all in his power to avoid the accident.

Sergeant Pagan Made An Im-
 portant Arrest To-Day.

A Man Who Pretended To Be a Sol
 dier Looking For Deserters He
 Fooled The Officers Badly At Shel-
 ton-Two of Them Came Here For
 Him To-Day But Chief Egan Would
 Not Give Him Up.
 Joseph L. McKenna. who had bar rel of fun with the authorities at SheI- ton, Harwinton and Ansonia yester- day, was arrested early this morning by Sergeant Pagan while taking a snooZe on one of the benches on the green and is held on a charge of be- ing implicated in burglary on Cher " street a short time ago in company with fellow named Stuhlman. As the story goes, NIcKenna showed up in Shelton yesterday, dressed in the liy- cry of one of Uncle Sam's soldiers and informed the authorities that he be- longed at Fort Warren and was out on a still hunt for two deserters one named Philip Norton and the other Mi chael Philips. He was given such as- sistance as he asked for and went from there to Huntington where he claimed he saw one of the deserters he was after entering house. He called upon an officer and after hearing the mans statement the limb of the law told him to go ill and make sure that he had the right man and if he had let him know right off. McKenna re- quested the officer to stand some dis tance away from the house in order not to arouse any suspicion and then he pretended to go through the place in search of his man and a short time later returned and told the officer that the deserter caught on to him and had disappeared in the direction of Derby. He requested the officer to give chase while he kept watch for a while in ed for Derby and as soon as McKenna got him out of the way, it is said that he got into the residence of J. H. Hart well and carried off a gold ring, two or three razors and sum Of money From here he went to Ansonia where he jollied Chief Arnold about his search for the deserters and after re- maining there for an hour in the hope of capturing his men he left there af- ter cautiOning the authorities to be on the lookout for persons answering to the description of Philips and Nor ton. He came here on the midnight train and went about telling that he had the deserters under arrest down the road. In the meantime the burg lary at Huntington was discovered and suspicion pointed to Mckenna. and the local police force were informed of the facts and were keeping a sharp lookout for him. When they learned of the arrest, Officers Coan and Smith lost no time ill getting here, but when they asked for the prisoner they were informed that they could not have him until after he had been given a hear ing in the police court here Monday on a charge of being implicated in a burg 1ary on Cherry stret. The Shelton men were very much disappointed at the idea of having to go home without the prisoner, but after hearing what Chief Egan had to say on the matter they made up their minds that they might just as well take it in a good natured way, so they bowed themselves out and left promising to be here at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
 McKenna is a good looking young fellow and did not appear to be much concerned over the situation.

DEPEW HOME AGAIN.
Says the Schley-sampson Controversy
 Is Hurting Navy.


 New York, Aug 24.-United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew was q passenger on the steamship St Paul, which arrived from Southampton to- day. In an interview MT Depew spoke of conditions abroad and discussed the Schley Sampson controversy from an English standpoint.
 A great deal of interest is taken in the Schley- Sampson controversy" lie said. .sThe fact that Schley's daugh- ter is married to Mir Stuart Wortley, an Englishman, is the reason that those in England are interested in the controversy, and it is owing to Ad- miral Schley's English connections that there is a favorable feeling for him over there. The controversy itself is not doing us any good; it is arousing contempt and derision towards the American navy, and the less said about it the better.'
