New York, Aug. 6.-The attempt
to assault a lone woman early today
on West Side street, adds another
case to the long list of attacks made
on women and children il the streets
of New York The attack would have
been successful had it not been for
the desperate struggle of the woman,
Adelaide Wilderer, a trained nurse,
who fought her assailant with nat
pin and finally routed him. Ter
screams brought the police who pur-
sued the man to Central Park where
he was brought to bay with a fusil-
lade of shots from the revolvers of
the two officers. The man said his
name was Hietro Daurie, an Italian
peddler. Daurie declared his inno-
cence, although Miss Wilderer iden-
titled him.
Miss Wilderer was walking home
when near Manhattan avenue and
106th street the Italian accosted her.
When she repulsed him he knocked
her down, and clutcning her throat
dragged her to the stoop of an apart
ment house. Miss Wilderer managed
to withdraw a pin from her hat, and
jabbing her assailant caused him to
loosen his hold, and when she scream

Captain Curry mas not changed his
views in the least as to the policy he
is to pursue in governing the terrific

and he is still a little close-mouthed

view. Captain Curry talks to the re-
porters all right, but doesn't give out
anything he does not intend to. To
a Record reporter he said today:

it was satisfactory in every respect,

for New Mexico and regrets that the
damaging reports as to the political
conditions here, are out, hurting the
thing possible done to put down politi-
cal strife in New Mexico. In this con-
nection 1 will say that 1 would like
to see the newspapers of the terrific
ry lose the bitterness with which they
are now assailing each other and pub
lie officials. Of course the papers can
criticise public officials for their pub
lie acts when they do not conform to
the ideas of the papers, that is right,
and should be done. But the bitter
ness does no good. 1t only harms the
territory away from home. 1t lowers
outside world and puts statehood far
ther and farther away. The papers
are the powers that can do or undo
these things. The editors are the
real powers in control, and not the
