bration at Clark and Polk streets has
been terminated suddenly by Policeman
Henry Decker who shot one of the
inerrymakers, Vito Malpedo( IN the alb
domen, inf1icting a. fatal wound.
Half dozen italians, one of whom
was MaIpedo, attacked the policeman
because he had ordered them to dispeFse.
Malpedo ran into a saloon and snatched
a policeman's club from behind the
bar. He then joined the others at the
corner where they were wranglfng with
the policeman. WELDING the club with
all the power Of his arms, he swung 1t
round and struck the officer on the
head, knocking him down.
Decker regained his feet and used his
own baton on his asSailant- MalpedO
rushed on him again from behind and
dealt him a. terrific blow that sent the
policeman to his knees.
Two men seized his club and prevent
ed him from using it. Fearing for his
life Decker drew his revolver as NAL
pedo came toward him again with the
club uDlifted. He fired only one shot
Malpedo staggered to the middle of the
street and fell.
At the sound of the shot hundreds of
persons in Little Italy ran from the
tenements. Women threw themselves
upon the man who lay wounded in the
street. The police were notified, and
when a wagonload of men arrived more
children were struggling in the street.
Officer Decker, covered with blood, stood
at the side of the man he had shot and
he had another of his assailants under
arrest After his injuries were dressed
he returned to his post.

The woman was too frightened to

car which followed the one which had

few minutes was at Gordon hall, West
Forty-third street and Emerald ave-

Mr.. Harlan was forced to become
strenuous when his automobile, which
he had relied upon to carry him to
four halls widely separated, broke
down. On his way to his first meeting
at West Thirty-eighth street and
Archer avenue Mr.. Harlan was de-

behavior of the machine. Then when

Before the chauffeur knew what

newspaper men. A crowd which had

New York. March 20.-In a sermon

Joseph SiIverman has made plea for
the endowment of a theater wherein

pit, a part of the paraphernalia that
belonged originally to the dramatic

has failed in its opposition to the

opposes the natural desires. The
theaters never could have succeeded if
they had not satisfied a. craving and
longing of the human soul. The
church is not perfect, neither is the
theater, but both are great agencies

MINISTER ADMITTED.
Given Membership i'm Central Labor
Union of Brooklyn.

New York, March 20.-A minister has
been admitted to membership the Cen
trail Labor Union of Brooklyn, an or
ganization representing various bands
of skilled worlmen on Long Island. He
Joined as a fraternaI delegate and at
the request of the Brooklyn Presbytery
which has reached the conclusion that
hitherto the church has not entered in
to fellowship with organized labor as it
should have done. So far as the union
members were able to learn, il is the
first time that such a departure has
been taken by any similar body in this
country. Only one vote was cast in
opposition.
The new delegate is Rev. Warren H
Wilson, pastor of the Arlington Avenue
Presbyterian church. In an address fol-
lowing his election he said the presby-
terry believed that the church had stray
ed from the divine teachings in not TAX
ing q deeper interest in the welfare of
the laboring men. He thought that the
church did not fully understand the OBJ
jects Of labor union, and believed that
the time is at hand when it should be
enlightened on those subjects.

is sure to result unless alcoholism is
checked
DR.. Duplessy declared that drink
is a prime factor in causing tuber-

crime. The only way to successfully
abate the evil, he said, is to arouse
the public conscience The law of
social solidarity. he said, had a scien-

duty upon members or society to de-
fend themselves and their fellows
from such a menace as that which
alcoholism now presents.
