FIGHT WITH DESPERATE.

After a sensational chase and desper-
ate fight with an Italian desperate in
New York yesterday, halfa dozen detec-
tives we're forced to fight for his life and
their own against repeated assaults OF
hundreds Of Italians, men and women,
who sought to deal out summary justice
TO the prisoner.
The prisoner is Antonio Forgone. He
had stabbed Mrs. Lorenzs Nicholino in
her little store in east One Hundred and
Fifty-third street, almost severing her
right ear, after she had refused to give
him 800. As he dashed from the store
Mrs. Gaetano Poppole tried to block his
progress. A blow in the face knocked
her down and Forgone started on a wild
run through the crowded street.
The blood-staiued knife, which be
waved as he sped through the crowd,
gave the fugitive a clear path, and a
number OF policemen and detectives who
had taken up the chase we're being out
distanced. As last resort they impress
ed passing automobile into which they
entered, and when the machine was
abreast of the fleeing man, sprang out
and attacked him. He fought back and
one of the detectives WAS laid out uncon-
scious before Forgone was subdued. For
nearly 20 minutes the officers fought al
most as desperately to protect the pris-
oner from the mob, which wanted to
deal out justice on the spot. Forgone
finally was lodged in the police station

ARREST OF MRS. PHILLIPS.

Developments il the investigation into
the death of John J. Phillips, coal
operator, broker, banker aud clubman,
of Cleveland, Ohio, came thick and fast
yesterday and took a sensational turn
late in the afternoon, when Mrs. Phil
lips, widow of the deceased, was taken
into custody. Mrs. Phillips has been in
a highly nervous state since the tragedy,
early Monday morning, after which an
rouncement was made that her husband
had been shot and mortally wounded BY
burglar. Yesterday afternoon she col
lspsed, and was not able to attend the
funeral, which took place from the
house, with only immediate relatives
present.

THE WAR IN MOROCCO.

A dispatch from CasabIaBca says eight
Frenchmen we're killed and II wounded
in an engagement Monday outside the
camp. The dead include Major Provost,
of the First Battalion of the Foreign
Legion, and Lieutenant Benizass, OF the
Second Battalion of Algerian Sharp
shooters. The Moors concentrated the
largest force they had yet mustered in
the vicinity of Cassblanca and returned
to the attack again and again, after en-
countering the deadly fire of the French
artillery and machine guns. The
enemy's losses are described as enormous.
The fighting was started by an attack
made by the Moors on French scouting
party.
About 5000 Moors participated In
Mondays fight. The Moors, who were
repulsed on all sides, made most i'm
pressive picture as, garbed fantasticaiiy,
mounted on white horses and carrying
their banners in the front line, they
swept down from the hills in splendid
formation and charged thunderously, to
within about 400 yards of the French
csup, which for moment seemed 10 be
in danger Of being overridden. As they
advanced, the Moors chanted in unison
verses from the Koran.
The news of Mondays sanguinary en-
gagement near Casablanca has shocked
as we'll as surprised France. The fight
ing demonstrated that the Moroccan sit
uatiou is steadily growing more serious
and that although France is constantly
victorious, the dogged, fanalical resist
auce of the Moors, who appear to be
mobilizing in larger numbers, may ne
cessitate distinct enlargement of the
allies forces in order to bring the fight
ing to an end.

John w. Says He Is Through with

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3.-John w. Gates,
who is going abroad for an extended
period and who recently announced
that his firm would retire from the
Wall street district, is quoted in an
interview today as declaring that he
has abandoned Wall street for good.
'I am through with Wall street." he
said. "I've been busy down there off
and on for quite a few years and I am
done with it. Hereafter, when 1 re-
turn to this country 1 shall devote my
self to the management of those inter-
ests with which 1 am connected en-
tirely apart from the stock. I'll have
enough to do to keep me busy at that,
1 think
MIR. and Mrs. John Gates will sail
from New York about the middle OF
July and will not return until some
time in October. They will spend about
a month on French hunting preserve.
Mr. Gates said:
Financial affairs in this country are
undergoing a pronounced change. 1t
will not be so long time before New
York ceases to be the whole thing
financially to anything like the extent
it is now. The western cities are con-
stantly growing in financial independ-
ence. Chicago, st. Louis, st. Paul,
Omaha and other cities have got to be
reckoned with more and more, as the
years go by.
"The financial center is visibly in
clined westward he concluded
