FROM CARRIAGE
HIT BY AUTO

A large automobile crashed into a car
riage' containing Miss Maude Hart.
daughter Of the station agent at Shawo-
met beach, Miss Clara Whitaker and
Harold Whitaker. residents OF the same
place. yesterday afternoon on the Rocky
Point road, and they narrowly escaped
serious injury. The trio was between
Shawomet beach and River View In Whit
takers buggy about 3:45, when a large
black touring car, containing half
dozen young men, came toward them at
a high rate OF speed. The horse was turn
ed as far as possible to the right. but the
machine crashed into and overturned the
light buggy. throwing all three occupants
into the road
Tho automobile was stopped, and one
of the men came running back. and
asked IL they were hurt. The young
people were shaken up and confused and
no answer was made Without another
word the autoist ran back to the machine,
jumped I'm the car and again started for
the city at an even higher rate OF speed.
The three picksa themselves UP ana
found that although no one was seriously
hurt Miss Hart was somewhat cut about
her face. The others were somewhat
bruised, besides being badly shaken up.
Miss Whitaker noted the number OF
the automobile. 1t was 10,7iS, showing
that the car is not owned In Rhode Is
land. The number sign was either black
or blue, according to Miss Whitaker, and
IL is likely that the machine was from
Massachusetts,.

BISHOP GALLOWAY
FAILS IN BOND
UNDERTAKING

New Orleans. May H.-'rhe movement
inaugurated by Bishop Galloway of Mis-
slssippi for the payment OF the repudiat-
ed Union and Planters Bank bonds. re-
pudiated in that state nearly 20 years
ago has met with no response from the
politicians.
The present constitution, like its prede-
cessors, prohibits the legislature from
recognizing these bonds. which amount to
$4,000 with over 90 years interest.
Senator McLaurin voices the opposi-
ton to the payment OF the bonds on the
ground that the present genoration OF
Mississippians Is not morally or legally
responsible for them, and IL would not
be right to compel their redemption. The
bonds. he said. were Issued by a coterie
Of rich men. who got all the profit from
them. and the state government which
lssred them was overthnown by the su-
peror strength OF the federal govern
ment and another government was es-
tabllshed i'm its stead, while tho people
were robbed Of nearly all their property
Bishop Galloway has too small fol-
lowing 20 make this Reputation question
leading issue I'm the campaign now
under way I'm Mississippi. and Il will be
impossible 90 bring the question with
tho slightest show OF success before the
legislature that will be elected. This
Is admitted by those who. with Bishop
Galloway favor the payment.

tolic church OF Hoboken, n. j., was found
yesterday in a trunk in furnished room
at the home of Mrs Henry sherrer at 333
West Thirty-seventh street An autopsy

In the trunk, to meet death by suffoca-

According to one man who saw the

The priest had lived at COS Monastery

and Armenian circles here and 1t Is be-
lieved that he was murdered for the
money he carried.
The autopsy showed the neck and one
arm had been broken. but apparently
these injuries had not been the cause OF

SMALL CARNIVAL
Of R0bbER|Es
IN 48 HOURS

Purse snatchers and pickpockets were
exceedingly busy Saturday afternoon and
eVSDlng, and their work was carried on
boldly and successfully,
Perhaps the boldest case OF purse
snatching was that OF which Miss Cath
crime Brennan was the victim. She was

state normal school about 8 O'clock,

the garment away, and made his escape.
The purse contained IS.
About O'Clock Saturday afternoon her
pocketbook was deftly cut out OF a hand
bag carried by Mrs. Abbie j. Norris of
Westerly, while she was on Exchange
place, and about ten minutes later Lydia
Carlson, while passing through the Ar
cade had her purse snatched from her
hand by two men. one Of whom she de-
scribes as about 1S years old.
Three hours later Charles Burrows re-
ported that a roll Of 500 had been picked
from his pocket at the Fox Point depot,
and he described three men whom he
thought We're the perpetrators.
Just before 8 o'clock Saturday evening

SMALL CROWDS
1t SHORE PLACES
LAST SUNDAY

Though Sunday was marked by almost
continual rain from early morning until
long after dark considerable numbers OF
Park. Rocky Point and Vanity Fair. as
well as Boyden Heights and the smaller
pleasure grounds. Some OF the concession
aries at Crescent Park and Rocky Point
had their places open.
At Vanity Fair anyone who desired
could enter and look over the situation,
but none of the attractions were avail
able. Many took advantage OF the free ad-
mission, however, and strolled about tho
grounds under umbrellas TO inspect the
various amusement enterprises and specu-
late upon the amount OF time II will yet
take to get everything into condition for
the throngs that are expected to flock to
the resort during the coming three
months
Shore dinners were served at Crescent
Park, Rocky Point and Boyden Heights,
as we'll as at Fields Point, but the pat
ronage was hardly enough anywhere to
recompense the proprietors for the ex-
tensive preparations that had been made
In the expectation OF another day like the
Sunday before. At Crescent Park a FEW
hundred partook OF the bakes, and steam
heat was an agreeable accompaniment to
the meal.
The other resorts. not being similarly
provided. attracted smaller numbers. so
that altogether, the day was failure
from the point of view of those who ac-
quire profit from Sunday pleasure-seeking
crowds. At Rocky Point band concert
was scheduled as a sort of starter for the
season, and, II was held under cover.
Trolley lines. were not overburdened
with the throngs travelling about in
search OF outdoor pleasure.
The weather was unseasonably cold
from early until late. Toward evening a
little less severity OF atmospheric condi-
tions was evident and prospects OF the
warmer weather predicted began to ap-
pear. Considering the fact that the day
was the 26th of May IL was decidedly
colder than the people of this part of the
country have right to expect so nea'
the first OF the summer months.

The coroner's physician said that the
man had probably been dead six or seven
days.
The police have sent out a. general
alarm for Sarkis Ermajian, Sarkis Bar
morvion and Paul Sarisatan. Simon Pa
shakarian OF 6O6 Tenth avenue last night
identified the trunk as belonging TO Sar-
kis Ermajian an Armenian, who, he said
roomed with him for four months and up
20 last Monday night, when he quit the
house.
The police theory is that the priest
was murdered in the Tenth avenue house.
They believe that the clergyman was
lured to his room, there drugged and rob-
bed and that the trunk was later sent
TO the West Thirty-seventh street adj
dress.
The identification OF the body was made
certain by John Karanfilian. a trustee OF
the Armenian church OF Hoboken, The
