Miss Wildrer's screams brought the police, who pur- sued thes man to Central Park, where he was brought to bay with fusilade of bullets from the revolvers of the officers. The man said he was Pietro Daurio, an Italias peddler.
 Miss Wildrer was walking home early today after attending a patient Near Manhattan avenue and 106th street an Italian .accosted her.

 Paris, August GA special dispatch received here from TangIer says the street fighting in, and the bombardment of, Casa Blanca, according to a refugee who arrived from there on the steamer Anatole, continued throughout Sunday. and was still in progress when the An atole left at o'clock Sunday evening.
 The French ships fired a total of about 2,0OO shells. The number of Moorlsh dead will run into the hun dreds. A single party of marines killed 150 Moors. The French wound ed number about twelve. No French men were killed. The Marabout Sidi Marouf was wounded
 On Saturday night the Moorish Pasha at Casa Blanca was advised that troops would reamin calm. Al o'clock Sunday morning, a detachment of f1f- ty French marines in command of an ensign, landed in the city. This force had hardly passed through the water gate before it received a volley fire at point blank from a detachment of reg ular Moorish troops.
 Five marines and the ensign were wounded.
 The ensign was shot through both hands In spite of his injuries he or dered his men to fix bayonets and charge This the FreRchmen did ana in the fighting, 15O Moors lost their lives.
 The marines continued their way, clearing the ground at they went, un- til they reached the French consulate. where the French citizens Tn Casa Blan- ca had taken refuge. The other Eu- ropean residents had sought safety at their respective consulates.
 In the meantime the French cruiser Galilee had commenced smelling the native villages outside of Casa Blanca to prevent armed Arabs from entering the city According to the Anatoie passengers the shells could be seen ploughing up the earth and killing men and horses

few days with daughter who had been quite i'll. This information was derived from a copy of The Montgom- cry Advertiser.
 Shortly afterwards I received in formation to the same effect from my office in Birmingham and came home to see what was the matter.
 T found that the trouble was all about the removal of suit for per sonal injuries against the Southern Railway Company in the Circuit Court of Talladega County to the United States Circuit Court at Anniston, the removel having been effected by our counsel at Talladega as provided by the Federal statutes and in the usual course of business. I came to Mont gomery to investigate the matter fur ther, and find that the case in question was commenced in October. 1906, and had been pending in the Circuit Court at Talladega since that time.
 Law Does Not Apply.
 Tt was not removed. however, be- cause the amount demanded in the original complaint was less than $2,- 900, the jurisdictional amount in the Federal court, but in the latter part of July. when the case came on foi trial, the complaint was amended SC as to claim $10.o00 and the case there upon became removable to the Fed eral court, and the law under which Secretary Julian acted in revoking the Southern's license does not apply ir such a case.
 "As construe the law, although ap. proved March {. 1907, 1t did not be- come operative before July 1 nexi thereafter and it provides that after July 1, 1907, foreign corporations do' ing business in Alabama and having the required license on being sued ir State court in Alabama, and filing petition to remove the case to 6 United States court, should forfeit its license.
 "The act being highly penal should of course be construed so as not tc include cases not clearly within its terms. Cases pending at the time oi the passage of the act or at the time 1t went into effect are not within the terms of the act. The corporation wal not required to take out license up- til July 1. 1907. If after such time and after it took out such license. fl Is sued in the State court 1t is for bidden to remove the case under pen, alty of forfeiting its license.
 No Question of Defiance.
 This case was not removed with any idea of making a test case, or of defying the State authorities. I take 1t for granted that when the clerk of the Talladega court certified the re-

 The attitude of Judge Landis in de- claring the railroads equally culpable with the oil corporation in the relating offenses and the calling of a special grand jury have caused the shasty band ing together of the different interests.

NEAR TO LYNoHrNGs.
New York People Aroused by Wave of
 Crime.


 New York, Aug. 6.--More of what have come to be seriously known at police headquarters as near" crimes against girls were followed by nearer lynchIngs today. Out of the score of complaints that reached the police a half dozen demanded serious attention Whether the number of extraordinary is disputed but certain 1t is that never before has mob vengeance so frequent Iy attended attacks upon children.
 Led by a woman who alternately in Italian and broken English cried "Avenge my daughter" reckless crowd of perhaps 2.000 persons tonight stormed the Fourteenth Street car barns of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company where policeman had sought refuge with a seriously pummeled pris- oner, Paul Sorgerato, a Greek peddler, 30 years of age who made the mistake, so 1t is charged, of kissing Grace Jos co. an Italian girl of Il years.
 shriI cry from the girl and an iunpassioned appeal by the mother put the foreigners of the neighborhood Tn a rage and as the Greek took to his heels a crowd pursued. He was over taken and kicked nearly senseless. By this time some one had stretched clothes line from the window of grocery store and the rioters attempt ed to put the moose over the offenders head. Only the eagerness of each riot ar to have a hand in the lassoing saved the prisoners neck.
 During the confusion, policeman arrived and clubaed his way to the en- dangered man. aSd dragged him to the nearby car barns. Police reserves stood off the mob while the Greek was hustled into a patrol wagon. Through a crowd that cried Kill him; kill him." the police fought their way to the nearest station house. He was in had shape, his eyes were blackened, his nose broken. scalp torn. face lac erated and his body black with bruises.
 MIIIwri9ht's Experience.
 Edward Pratt, a millwright, 40 years old. had a somewhat similar experience late this afternoon in Fifty-Seventh Street. Nellie and Helen Farrel' each about 10 years of age, accused Pratt of improper remarks. He was fright fully mauled before rescued by the po- lice Adelaide Wildrer, a nurse, fought off an assailant on the west side today The man was arrested.
 The man who attempted an assault upon a little girl in Green Street es- caped Tony Sardo was arrested on chiId's complaint In Brooklyn.
 The courts are acting promptly on assault cases. P. J. Schmidt black smith charged with having attempted to attack little girl. was today sen fenced to the peniteniary for one year. Antonio Levant, for a similar offense, was given six months.
 There Is not any crime wave, ald Superintendent Jenkins, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 70 Child ren, today. "Our statistics show no increase In the number or actual as- saults committed upon girls under SIX teen years. At this season of the year. there is always a relative 4.;- crease in the number of assaults and attempted assaults upon girls under sixteen. They have not, however, in- creased relatively to the increase of population. There are about the same number to date. this month and last that there were in July and August of 1906"
