FOR WOMAN
NEWARKER HURT IN BATTLE
WITH NEGROES.
Latter Assault Victim in Fifth Avenue
New York. but Ensign Crofton
Saves Her.

After a desperate encounter with two
negroes who attempted to assault a
young m yesterday morning on
Fifth avenue, New York city, Ensign
George Crofton, of the United States
armored cruiser Charleston. and a resi-
dent of this city, succeeded in saving
the helpless woman and beating off the
inhuman fends with his bare fists, but
not until he was badly bruised and re-
ceived a nasty cash in the forehead
from a weapon in the hands of of
the woman's assistants.
The attempted assault occurred in
broad daylight in the vicinity of Elev-
enth street. and from the time the GAL
liant Newark naval man went to the
rescue until after 1t was all over not a
policeman was in sight.
When on shore leave Crofton lives at
II Hedden terrace. He told the story
of the fight with the negroes just before
leaving for Philadelphia to report for
duty at the Carnegie Boiler Works last
night. He said:
II went to Manhattan on the mid
night train of the Central Railroad Sat
urday to get some papers that 1 ex-
pected would be sent to the house of
my brother-in-law. Landing at the
other side of the river, I started to walk
uptown. Near Eleventh street, on Fifth
avenue, | noticed two negroes on the
westerly side keeping pace with a
young woman who was a few PAGES
ahead of me on the east side.
THE actions of the two struck me as
suspicious, to say the least. Finally [
stopped to light a cigarette and TO give
the two a chance to get a little further
ahead. Instantly one of them crossed to
a point directly in front of me and the
other apparently made straight for tho
girl. The negro was pretty strong,
but / know a few things about
athletics and taking care of myself in
time of trouble after nine years in the
navy, n I succeeded in disposing of
him very ~effectually.
The other negro seized the girl.
He had her by the throat and
was wrestling a bag she carried from
her grasp when l hit him. He turned
on me n let go of the young
She Immediately sank to the sid awalk.
The negro had something In his hand
that looked like a sand bag, and the
next lnlnB L knew i received 81 IEfTlllC
blow on the temple where that cut
shows. Before the negro could kick me
l was up and at him. l finally landed
a blow in his stomach and he was
helpless.
II didn't know whether my enemies
were armed or not, and, as the young
woman was apparently unconscious
and in need of attention, l haetened to
her aid / half carried her to the near
est cab and took her to an address she
gave me after | had succeeded in re-
viving her. / did not ask her name
and do not want to give her address,"
Ensign Crofton would not give the
name or address of the young woman
he protected. Crofton said thai not a
policeman was in sight during the Incl
dem and that even after getting a cab
he was unable to find one.
Crofton is one of twelve men in the
navy who have worked their way to
ensign's berths from yeomen's stations.

UNREST IN INDIA
INCREASING FAST
Open Rebellion Is Being Preached in
Some Places and Natives Are
Being Taught How to
Fight

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, July 5.-Dispatches from
India report that the disaffection
among the natives is rapidly increas-
ing.
According to correspondent who has
made several tours of Bengal, revolt is
being preached in many provinces, and
the natives are being trained to fight.
He declares that the seriousness of the
situation is hardly realized by the Euro
peans in India or at home. Formerly
the discomfort was confined to few
agitators, but now it has spread among
the aristocracy and land holders as we'll
as among the peasants and coolies.
An organization known as national
volunteers has branches in nearly every
town and village, and tales of lawless-
ness and oppression by these volunteers
come from every district The rural
police are gradually losing respect for
order and authority. An alarming feat
ure of the situation, it is stated, is the
growing number of assaults on Euro
| peans.
Another correspondent at Simla re-
ports that sedition is extending into the
central provinces.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-Superior
Judge Lawlor's blanket decision upon

Abraham Ruef. Mayor Schmitz, Frank
Drum, Eugene de Saba and John Mar
tin will not be rendered 'intil next
Thursday, July IL.
This announcement was made by the
court this morning after additional
stipulations had been entered into be-
tween counsel for the defendants and
the representatives of the district at
torney's office.
Persistent objections to reference by
Attorney Garrett McInerny to the
transcript of grand jury evidence
against Drum De Saba and Martin as
evidence in the case" were made by
Attorney Cobb for the rosecution.
Judge Lawlor reserved rulings on these
objections, but stated that they would
appear in the minutes as having been
made and as being in favor of or
against the prosecution, according as
the court shall rule on the motions to
set aside the indictments.
The defense finally offered the tran
script in evidence to support the con-
tention that she indictments should be
set aside on the ground of insufficiency
of evidence. The state objected, claim
ing that while the law gave the de-
fense access to this transcript it was
recorde of grand jury secrets and as
such was incompetent matter at this
stage of the proceedings. Judge Law
lor reserved his ruling on the objection.
The motions to set aside do not go
to the first nine indictments returned
against Glass, on one Of which he is to
be placed on trial next Monday Judge
Lawlor instructed the prosecution to
inform the defense before that time
which of the nine countc is to take
precedence on the trial calendar.
Otherwise" said he, there would be
good ground for 2 continuance next
Monday, and I do not want any more
delay. I have ordered : trial panel into
court Monday morning and want to

ORDERS INVESTIGATION OF
ALLEGED KIDNAPPING CASE
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The depart
ment of justice today directed the
United states district attorney of Ari-
zona to make an investigation into the
alleged kidnapping from Douglas, Ariz.,
into Mexico of Manuel Saravi, an ell
legged Mexican agitator, reported to
have been connected with a Mexican
newspaper published in st. Louis in
the interest of the revolutionary party.
The inquiry is undertaken at the in
stance of friends of Saravi, but so far
nothing has been heard of the terri
torial authorities.
1t is expected that the reported ar
rest of the Mexican consul at Douglas
on the charge of being implicated In
the kidnapping may be made matter
of complaint, but it is said that his
consular office exempts him from liza
bility for criminal action on his part
If the facts are as alleged, 1t becomes
necessary for this government to re-
quest the Mexican authorities to re-
turn the kidnapped man to Arizona.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Tribune to-
day says:
Thirty-seven men, women and chill
dren are dead and 2153 are manned,
lacerated or burned as a result of yes
terday's excess of patriotism In the
United States. The number of dead
does not include five drowned during
the day.
The number of dead is four more than
last years mortalities. A year ago
forty-three persons were dead after
the Fourth, not including four
drowned.

crease day by day. and even the late
days of August will witness additions

New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead in
that city, while six more are so seri-
ously hurt that 1t is expected they will
die within a few hours. At the New
York hospitals 423 injured persons were
treated. No record was made of the
number of dispensary cases cared for.
The police doubtless averted
greater casualty list by arresting 42S
men and boys for carrying weapons.
There were 116 fires in Greater New
York during the day. These figures
break all Fourth of July records for
the big metropolis.
Pittsburg, Pa, ran New York close
second in the grim race, nine persons
yielding up their lives on the altar
of frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second OF the
country, added only two dead to the
nations total.
Springfield. ILL.,, supplied three VIC
tins; Chatham, ILL.,, two, and Aberdeen

the country gave up more than one OF
its own to death.
The total number of injured, 2153, is
under last years figures, which were

The figures show that this year, as
last. the most of the casualties were
due to carelessness in handling fire.

There Are Specially Constructed Ore
Used In tho Game.
Hourglasses, or sandglasses, wcr,
formerly used for the purpose of meas
uring time at chess matches, but nov
specially constructed clocks are In gen
eral use for this purpose. These clock
consist of two clocks mounted on /,
common base, which moves on pivot
the two clocks therefore being on til
arms of sort Of seesaw. The bean
or base, is SO constructed that whei
one clock is elevated ii stands perfect
ly perpendicular, while the depresse,
clock lies over at an angle, but as tho
mechanism of each clock is So con
structed that ii only moves when thu
clock is perfectly perpendicular ii fol
lows that when the upright clock Il
going the depressed clock is at rest.
Another and more modern variet,
has the two clocks fixed on the same
level, but with a small brass arm
reaching from the top OF one TO the tor
of the other. This arm acts on a pivo;
and can be brought down into actual
contact with one clock at time by c
touch Of the finger. When ii is thus in
contact by an ingenious device the
clock is stopped and the desired result
is attained. The working of the clock
during match Is simplicity itself At
the commencement of the match the
hands OF each clock point to II. Then
at the call of time TO commence play
the clock of the first player is started;
then as soon as he makes his first
move he stops his own clock either by
depressing 1t or by touching the arm
referred TO. the same motion starting
his opponents clock. So it goes on
during the entire course of the game.
