ONLY CURIOUS; NOT A MOB
SEGBTSEETNG PARTY SCARED
WHEN AUTO KILLED nov.

FAD Rsecu Reading tho Newspapers
No demonstrate Tn Boy HAD
Been stesSins . lid Driver Arrested.
The sixteen out OF town fOlk who climbed
into one Of the big green tOufinx cars at
the Bartholdi Hotel yesterday morning
for a sightseeing trip through the lower
East Side got more than their moneys
worth. They saw a small hoy knocked
under one Of the heavy wheels, observed
the quick formation OF a -freuEied mob"
and almost had heart diseass whom n
sightseer from Arkansas thought he heard
one Of the -infuri&ted oitizeps" say some
thing about lynching some one.
The mob" was only one OF those East
Side gatherings OF the curious which forms
at the slightest provooation. and wal as
harmless as a feather: but the sightseers
weren't taking any chances. and chose to
ride to the Eldredge street station when the
chauffeur was taken there.
The automobile. driven by Meyer Klush-
kin OF IO7 West Forty-sixth street. got to
Chrystie street at about noon. The mega
phone man. W. ID. Hamilton. was busy
telling them they that were approaching
the -heart OF the Ghetto" when one Of
the sightseers drew his attention to q
crowd OF small boys who were stealing
rides from every part of the machine that
offered a foothold. Hamilton leaned over
with his megaphone and gave such q roar
that the boys who didn't fsl jumped on.
Tony ~Pasquerati OF 81 Hester street, the
nine y~ear-old son Of a bootblack on one
Of the nearby corners. was riding on the
axle. He fell under the ten inch rear
wheel. The wheel struck his head squarely
and crushed it.
When the East Siders crowded around
the machine the sishtseers who had heard
about the wave Of crime" grabbed the
seats with both hands. ready to hole out
against the mob" Some Of the more
timid ones even crouched under the seats.
The coolest man in the automobile was the
driver, who apparently had been in such
a predicament before.
Policeman cannon and Sergeant Clifford
OF b. Eldridge street station got their
clubs out when they saw the size Of the
crowd. but when they mingled with IT,
they found il was harmless. They wanted
to have the sightseeing party ~disbanded
right there 10 they could take Klushkin to
the station house. but the passengers
said they would rather be arrested than
turned loose in the crowd. The driver
then took the car TO the station house.
and from there the megaphone man took
the front seat and guided the sightseeing
party back to the Bartholdi Hotel.
Klushkin was released in 81 500 by the
Coroner.

Caleb Powers Says He Will Make 1t

Georgetown, KY, Sept 2.-Goaded
by a recent statement in the opening
speech of Judge S. Whager, demo-
cratic nominee for governor, that he
would not pardon Caleb Powers if
convicted for conspiracy of the muir
der of Governor William Goebel,
Powers has issued a written state
ment saying he had at last learned the
name of the man who murdered
Goebel, and it is his intention to point
him out.
No previous statement made by
Powers has created so profound a
sensation, for it is believed at last
the real murderer of Governor GoebeI
will be learned. Powers says that the
man who killed Goebel is not Jim
Howard, who is serving a life sentence
in the penitentiary on the charge.
THE time has come" said Powers,
when my name must not be dragged
into political campaigns to be used to
the political advantage of one side or
the other"
