NEGRO NEAR LYNCHlNG
Had Fatally Stabbed White Man in
Stable Braz0I- -EIudes PurSuerS.

Enraged by a brutal stabbng, several hun
dred persons chased a Negro for several BLOCKS
in The Bronx last night and made every effort
to lynch him. When the man finally dashed
into ST. Marys Park the crowd snread out ana
began a systematic hunt for the Negro.
The reserves from the Alexander avenue police
station were called out, as the crowd had be-
come desperate by this time, and the police be-
lieved that it would carry out its threats 10
lynch the man If it caught him. Soon arter the
Negro entered the park he was lost TO sight IN
the heavy underground. and up TO late hour
last night no trace had been found OF him. al
though the police and large crowd had beaten
the woods for several hours.
Shortly after o'clock last night Charles
Purdy. known also as ''Nigger Charlie who is
employed as a driver by Robert Ferguson
contractor who has stables at No. sos Robbins
avenue, in The Bronx tied his horse at hitch
ing post in front of the stable and proceeded 20
currysthe animal
A few minutes later Michael Phillips, another
driver living at 146th street and Robbins ave-
nue. drove up with his cart and horse he re-
monstrated with Purdy for tying his horse at
the post which he had been accustomed to use
for several weeks.
The Negro, according TO the police, insulted
Pbillips and continued cleaning his horse.
From words the argument grew to blows. and
dnaIlv the Negro threw Phillips and stabbed
MIN in the back seven times. One of the thrusts
drove the long bladed knife through Philips S
left lung 1t was all over so quickly that no one
realized what had happened The spectators
were at last brought to their senses by the feeble
cries of the injured man.
With final kick at the prostrate man, Furuy
ran unmolested up Robbins avenue toward 81
Mary's Park While several of the drivers ran
to assist Phillips. others hurried for police
man and one or two started in pursuit Oh the
Negro who now had good lead
An ambulance call was sent in to Lebanon
Hospital, and Dr. Volk, who responded gave
the man temporary treatment and then drove
rapidly to the hospital. The surgeons 90 not
believe that Phillips will recover.
Purdy who is well proportioned' and heet o
foot. rapidly heightened the distance between
himself and his pursuers who Increased IN
numbers when the cause of the chase was
learned.
After the man had about five blocks ne
had q lead of nearly block For almost half
mile the chase continued, with the crowd shout
ing. Catch the Negro; lynch him. lynch him.
Purdy then dashed into ST. Mary's Park and
was soon hidden from view.
Still undauated. the crowd formed in small
groups and proceeded to examine every possible
hiding place In the mean tise the Alexander
avenue police reserves were turned out and
hurried to the park Although many persons
gave up the hunt when they SAW that the po-
lice were doing everything possible to find the
Negro the majority were still bent upon wreak-
ing their vengeance on Purdy
The Dolice have sent out general alarm Tor
the Negro. and were stin searching the park at
a late hour last night.

pIoument of Union Men.

The executive committee Of the bricklayers
unions of Greater New York ordered a general

ference will be held to-day by a commit

JEROME BATS HEARST
ASKS HIN TO EXPLAIN.
Independence League Nesc Party or
Club to Coerce Democrdts2

is the Independence League new party. ciean
cut and independent. or is 1t only a club TO CO.
cree the Democratic party into nominating Mr..
Hearst for Governor?
This IS the question that District Attorney
Jerome last night asked of MT. Hearst through
'he reporters and he says he will be much
ooliged If Mr. Hearst will define the Indepen-
dence League and state its relation TO the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Jerome said
In the revised version of Mr. Hearst's state-
ment he says:
The real issue is whether the people shall
control politics independent OF the dictation OF
corrupt corporations through criminal bosses.
But Mr. Hearst. even in his revised statement,
does not indicate the means to be employed IN
effecting this result Is It TO be effected by the
League, made up of membership from each Of
the other parties, is the independence League
after all only a means TO coerce the Democratic
party into becoming pure? 1t would seem
very simple thing for Mr.. Hearst TO define what
the Independence League is and what its rela-
tion 10 the Democratic party is.
/ understand that Mr.. Hearst is quoted as
saying that hereafter he Will talk only through
a typewriter statement. OF course IL is diff
cult, where the brains and the person of a can
0date are not united in the same Individual. for
the person alone 10 make clear where he does
staho, Dut surrey IN a situauoh az UosSute e az
the present one II would be possible ror Mr..
Hearst and Mr. Brisbane TO get together long
enough for Mr.. Brisbane TO tell Mr.. Hearst
whether the Independence League is for the
Democratic party against the Democratic
party. You see, those OF us who Democrats
would like 10 know whether the Tammany Hall
Congressman is really Democrat or not, and
he could tell about this.
Moreover. after careful study OF the revised
statement Of his interview of yesterday, as pub
lished in his own organ, one cannot quite make
up his mind whether Mr.. Hearst is candidate
at all. In reply 70 the question. Would you ac-
cept the nomination of the Democratic conven-
tion, Mr. Hearst?" he is reported TO have said,
II will be the candidate OF the Independence
League II run
What does the 'if'' mean? Is Mr.. Hearst
losing what little courage he had? Is he
afraid that he will destroy his Democratic
regularity? Why won't Max Thmsen and Ar
notsa Democrat and whether he desires the
rehabilitation OF the Democratic party in the
state, or desires it's destruction through the
instrumentaity OF the Independence League. or
desires 20 consolidate IL with the Independence
League?
Charles f. Murphy said he had no comment
10 make on any of Mr. Jerome's statements.
Have you read Mr.. Hearst's statement in
The morning papers?' was asked.
T have" said Mr.. Murphy land I'm per-
fectly willing TO let Mr.. Hearst and Mr Jerome
do all the talking and nght it out between
themselves"
10 you expect 10 win at the primaries?' %
~ can answer that statement better on the
night of September 49," said Mr.. Murphy.

TINE BETTER.
Cambridge Trial 91 Seconds SIo5cer
-Ne5c Shell for Cantabs.

London Aug. 29-Cambridge to-day went
over the full course over which she will meet
Harvard on September s. rowing the distance of
little more than four miles in 90 minutes and
seconds. This is better than any previous
trial Of the Cambridge crew, but still fails to
come Up TO the astonishing trial of the Ameri-
cans yesterday. Those who saw the two trials
hold that the very slight benefit of a light favor
ing breeze enjoyed by the Americans on Mon
day more than offset by the more favor
able tide conditions found by the Englishmen
to-day. In addition the Cambridge crew was
paced for the last mile Of the row by Leander
eight, which set up very hot pace and had
the Light Blues pretty well worn down at the
finish.
Harvard was out twice during the day. but
made no attempt to do any heavy work In
the morning starts were practised from the line
drawn just above Putney Bridge where the
race will start and in the evening the men pad
died around for a quarter of an hour. Cam
bridge did work at all in the evening. being
given chance to rest up after the morning
hard work
So disappointed were the Cambridge authori-
cided 10 order new shell at once from Clasper.
the famous boat builder.
The new shell will not be delivered until Sep
tember T. thus giving the crew more than
two days in which to get used to it. It will be
deeper than the present shell and broader amid
ships, though Of the same length. Most of the
old oarsmen who gather along the banks OF the
river TO watch the practice each day regard this
move as a mistake. saying that it will be i'm
possible for the men TO become accustomed to
the boat.
D. c. R. Stuart, the Cambridge stroke. is
doubtful about the result of the race. He was
heard TO say to-day that the Harvard men had
done better work so far and that if Cambridge
is to win much polishing must be done in the
short time remaining.
