RIOT ON RACE COURSE
CROWDS BURN BETTING BOOTHS
AFTER BAD START.

A special dispatch from Paris says: O1c
OF the most extraordinary scenes probably
ever witnessed on race track occurred at
Longchamps in the Bots de Boulogne this
afternoon. A riot of wild proportions turn
ed the race course into pandemonium and
violence reigned unrestTained for over an
hour and a half Men and women were as
saulted and injured, shots were fired and
the mob in the excess of it's fury resorted
to incendiarisn, joyfully burning the bet
ting booths and twice attempting to set
fire to the grand stand.
The cause of the rioting was the crowds
belief that there had been a false start
When this belief spread, which it did like
an electric shock, the people seemed to go
mad. but with clear and definite purpose
namely, to wreak vengeance on the man
ayers of the races and the operators of the
betting system, the pari mutuel.
A False Start.
The trouble started at o'clock when the
third race was called There were probably
100000 persons present. Only three horses
got away. Those left at the post included
the favorite. The start was so patiently
false in public estimation that the people
supposed the horses would be recalled, but
this was not done, and as soon as the spec
tators realized that there was to be no re-

tremely excited and those in the immense
field seemed to go wild. AS one man the
crowd cried Catch the robert
Those in the field made rush for the
many betting booths, which form practi-
cally one building in the field, demanding
their money. They contented themselves
with demanding only momentariiy. Then
they stormed the booths, set them on fire
and assailed their occupants. Men and
women were knocked down ard tumbled
over each other. The men about the booths
were seemingly crazy drunk and waved
over their heads great rolls of bank notes.
which had been taken from the cashiers.
The sight made the crowd madden than
ever. They overpowered the booth keepers,
both tally men and cashiers. Bills and
gold and silver pieces flew in all directions.
The crowd fought and scrambled for the
money and many were injured. Meanwhile

The house, which was attacked, is
located across the railroad tracks from
the power house In Florence. 1t was
an ordinary two story affair, divided in
to three apartmt nts and on first floor q
store was by kept Laboria Waltsoch and
wife, Marie Asuntacro, two old people
who disappeared the day after the fight
The boarding house in same building
was run by Antonio Cerreo, and he had
from eight to fifteen Italians boarding
at his place. In the building also lived
Felice Muzza, married to daughter of
Waltsochs wife A number of the
boarders in this house and at least one
OF its residence have made claims for
damages, claiming that they had trunks
full of personal property and much cash
destroyed in the fire,
The Italians who were arrested under
suspicion of being in the affair were as
follows Raffaele Petecco, Antonio
Gordeno, Peter Cantofio, Joseph Esco,
Frank MARITIME, Joe Leone, Joseph
Sigeo and Guiseppi Sigeo. All were
carrying concealed weapons. Monday
Chief-of-Police Palmer placed two more
under arrest as suspicious characters.
They were given hearing before Bur-
CESS Brown the same day and fined
s24.OO, their weapons being confscated.
Investigation Of the bullets and shot
fired by the Italians showed that three
different kinds Of weapons had been
used. A shot gun was in continuous play
and bullets were found from q Win
chester rifle and 38.caliber revolver.

Pit,sburg Exposition.

Judging by the manner IL which
greater Pittsburgers 'hncked TO the Ex-
position on the opening night TO hear
Creatore and his band and witness the
scores of new features which have been
introduced this year, Manager T. j.
Fitzpatrick may well feel proud of the
youthful days OF the eighteenth season.
III the oDening night is taken as cri-
terion of the succeeding days, the sea-
son which ends October 20 will will go
down in Pittsburg's amusement and in
struction history MS the banner year OF
all.
Each succeeding year brings some
thing new to the Exposition-some-
thing entirely different from that seen
the year previous. That's what makes
the old Point show ring with popular
ity. Coupled with the favorite musici-
ans which have visited the Expo from
year to year-Creatore. Sousa. Herbert
and DamrOsch-is another band leader
equally rs popular this year. Creatore
opened the season on Wednesday night.
After stay of ten days, he gives place
to the Theodore Thomas Orchestra
from September 10 to Is. Then comes
the March Kingdom Philip Sousa-
for week. Then comes Elery's band,
one OF the most successful In the
country. Damrosch who opened the
season last year, will have the honor OF
closing the season, the weeks of October
to 20 inclusive, having been set aside
as Damrosch weeks. With such an ar
ray OF musical talent, is it any wonder
that the Exposition music hall grows in
popularity each year.

firing ceased and all was quiet until
about half past five in the morning.
Then it was determined to dislodge the

pounds OF the explosive stuff under one

full effect, shattering one side of the
house and breaking numerous windows
in the houses roundabout. Immediate
ly the troopers charged the house and in
the second story found the dead body of
Jim Timbone, a gun by his side and
ammunition near him. 1t is probable
that he had been shot about two in the
morning by volleys from the troopers,
at the time the firing ceased, Shortly
after flames broke out in the building
and in few minutes twas reduced TO a
heap OF ashes. Whether it was set on
fire by the explosion OF dynamite or by
other means is not certainly known.
While the firing was in progress, its
rspidity and the fact that "a large num-
Der of men were known to board there,
gave the constabulary reason to believe
that the house was filled with score or
more of desperate men. If it was so at
the beginning of the fracas. they must
have escaped under cover Of night, for
when the troopers entered after the
dynamiting they found only the cold
body of Timbone. Two other Italians
were arrested, near the house, who had
possibly been in the cellar, 'but the re-
ports OF this are conflicting. The other
arrests made in connection were those
of three Italians near the trolley station
and two who were noticed running a
long railroad embankment near the
house. There was no direct evidence
against them, save that they were all
armed. All were taken to the Punxsu-
tawney lookup and incarcerated until
Tuesday when they were given hear
ing.
The dead constables and the italian
desperate were removed to undertaking
rooms in Punxsutawney. The wounded
men, Chambers and Mullen, were sent
to Adrian hospital. Sergeant Logan's
injury was not serious.

was believed to be the headquarters of

'Black Hand" and it was supposed that
the constabulary had rounded up a
gang and had them penned up like rats
in trap. Since the fight, however,
the coolest heads have arrived at the
opinion that there never was more than
three Italians in the house after the
firing commenced and possibly only one,
the desperate Timbone. This man,
who was about forty years of age, has a
record behind him which frequently be-
fore brought him in conflict with the
officers of the law. At Yatesboro and
Kittanning he had been under arrest
and not very long since he had been
confined in the Jefferson county poor
home at Brookville. 1t is said that he
was at that time believed to be weak
minded. 1t is certain that he had a

cutors, which doubtless goaded him to
