MOB ATTACKS STREET CARS
Three Policemen and Strikebreaker
in the Hospital.

Yonkers, N. Y, Oct. 2s.-As the re-
suit Of an attempt of the Yonkers
City Railway company to run cars
over its line three policemen and a
strikebreaker are in hospital
The factories had just closed for
the Saturday half holiday when the
cars left the barns and the streets
were filed with workmen.
AS the cars moved slowly along the
avenues they were followed by thou
sands Of men and boys yelling and
hooting. Two cars that went along
Riverdale avenue were attacked by a
mob and every pane of glass in them
was smashed with stones. Mounted
Policemen Cunningham and Smalley
tried to drive back the rioters, but
both We're knocked off their horses
and were finally rescued by other po-
licemen who charged into the mob,
hitting right and left with their heavy
night sticks. The motorman Of one
Of the cars attacked was struck on
the head by stones and knocked I'M
conscious. It is feared that his skull
Is fractured. He and the two police
men were taken to the hospital.
A similar scene was enacted in
Warburton avenue, where Policeman
Kennedy was seriously injured.

right. Investors have only to hold
on. The financial authorities have
acted boldly but wisely and the furry
will soon blow over It is quite right
that savings banks should require no
tice.
1T should not be forgotten, how
ever, that we have had the greatest
expansion Of modern times and sure
as fate reaction must come and has
already begun, but 1t will be healthful.
We may have season of less activ-
ity In trade, but that will be followed
Inc due time by another period OF ex.
pansion. Nothing can prevent the
rapid progress Of the republic. She is
all right and bound to distance all
competitors in the race. Speculation
will be less to the front for time, but
genuine business will not suffer seri
ously.
1T lies in the nature of things that
the attempt to attribute the recent
and spasmodic fall in prices to the
wise and in the truest sense the truly
conservative resolve Of the president
and his cabinet to enforce the salutary
laws against the abuse Of their pow
ers by certain trusts Is only device
to serve political intrigue"

Made Good Deal on Land.

w. T. Blakeley has the laugh on
some parties who have been Josh
ing" him for some time past on
having purchased a section and three
quarters of land near Aberdeen,
Saskatchewan, two years ago.
Mr. Blakeley bought the land at a
low figure, and made no special effort
to resell. However, a few weeks
ago, he was approached by parties
who desired to purchase some of his
land, with the result that he has
disposed of one section of the land,
receiving $1,000 in cash therefor,
realizing a clear profit of something
like $4,000 on the original price paid
for the property, and he still has
three-fourths of a section left.

SALE OF MILITARY SECRETS
French Army and Navy offIcers Tn
= der Arrest.

Paris, Oct. 28.-Ensign Charles B..
Ullmo of the French navy, who was
arrested at Toulon Oct. "a on the
charge of being spy and who con-
fessed to having distracted a secret
naval signal book and the naval cipher
code, and Berten, the army reserve
officer, who was arrested at Vendome
charged with negotiating with an
agent of foreign power for the sale
Of the military secrets, were brought
to Paris and arraigned before an ex-
aiming magistrate.
Ullmo confessed everything, declar-
ing he was heavily in debt and that
his object was to raise money, but
adding that he never intended to be a
traitor,
Berten denied the charge of trea-
son, but nevertheless the correspond
ence seized when he was taken into
custody seemed to prove that he ar.
ranged to deliver certain military doc
uments to an agent of a foreign power.
The latter is not named, but it is un.
derstood to be Germany.
