 Court Once More.

Ashville, N. C., July 27.-O. C. Wilson, the ticket agent of the South. ern railway who recently was sen tenced to thirty days on the chain gang for violating the new rate law and who was released on habeas cor. pus proceeding by Judge Pritchard in the United States court, was rear rested to-day on warrants sworn out before Police Judge Reynolds who figured as witness in the habeas corpus hearing.

 Warrants were also issued for President Finley of the Southern railroad. The warrant was placed in the hands of policeman, who went to the presidents hotel to serve the papers. In the meantime ar- engagements had been made for habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Pritchard to secure MT Fin ley's release.

FELL FROM TOWER.
Workman's Narrow Escape at St Ann's Church.

The first accident that happened at St Anne's church since workmen com menced operating there couple of years ago, occurred there yesterday afternoon when Charles Antonio, of Baldwin street, who was attending masons inside the tower about fifty feet from the ground, lost his balance and stumbled out through q window and then started on his downward course head-foremost He dropped down thirty-five or forty feet when he collided with q cross-piece in the scaf- folding. The piece of timber caught him under the arms and held him there long enough to give him chance to grab something else. which he was quick to do and for a time the work man looked like professional trapeze performer dangling from one of the timbers, while his fellow laborers hus- tied to get hold of him by means of an extension. He held his grip until relieved. after which he was taken to the office of Dr Parker. who dressed his injuries. which consisted princi- pally of ugly wounds under his arms. and shock. Everyone who saw the man roll our through the window ex- pected to see him picked up corpse, but in this they were agreeably disap- pointed. He will not be able to work for some time, but the doctor does not think that his injuries are a all seri- ous

OPPOSE PRESIDENT
Professor of Wisconsin Stale University Does N0f Believe
 In Large Families.

Madison, Wis, July 27.-Taking issue with President Roosevelt on the desirability of raising large families, Prof Edward A. Ross, head of the sociology department of the Wiscon- sin State university, yesterday told his class that restriction in the birth rate is movement which at the bot tom is salutary and that evils in it's train appear to be minor or transient or self limiting or curable.'
 Prof Ross is himself the father of three children. After declaring that restriction in the birth rate was salutary, Prof Ross, anticipating widespread opposition to such an as- sertion added:
 T take my stand with those who hate famine, war, saber toothed com petition, class antagonism, degrada- tion of the masses, wasting of chill dren, dwarfing of women and cheap ening of men.
 Shall we live to see a mother ot more than three regarded as public benefactor and placed on the payroll of the state?"

STILL AT LARGE
Criminal Who SlaShed Children Yesierday-He Is Probably
 an Epileptic.

Berlin, July 27.-The criminal who yesterday stabbed five little girls on the streets of this city is still at large.
 The theory that finds the greatest favor among medical men is that the man is an epileptic who probably has recovered his normal condition and is now without any recollection of what he did yesterday-that his attitude towards these dreadful acts is that of complete stranger. He will next be heard of when in another seizure he kills another child. The newspapers still publish warnings to parents and in almost all sections of this city children to-day are being kept in- doors. After a conference of the headsof the police department held this morning, all policemen were at once ordered out on patrol duty. Be- tween 1000 and 5000 guardians of the peace are thus doing patrol ser vice.
 Five or six men were arrested dur ing the night but were released to- day.
 The police have been supplied with r.any so-called clues to the criminal.

PRAISE FOR MEN
President RO0sevelt's Letter Oi Congratulaiion to Officers
 of the Georgia.
ACCIDENT DEPLORABLE

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 27.-In re- ply to a letter from Admiral Brown son relative to the Georgias disaster, President Roosevelt has taken occa- sion to congratulate Admiral Thomas and the officers and crew of the Georgia on the way the ship went back to her work. 7
 The presidents letter, together with extracts from that of Admiral Brownson were made public here to- day. An extract from a letter from Admiral Brownson to the president follows:
 "The Georgia accident was most deplorable; but there are bright spots connected with it, as has been the case with all of the turret accidents. refer to the splendid spirit and courage that has been shown by our men in every case. You will doubt less recall the incident of the Texas in the case of the Missouri accident where, while lying close alongside of the latter, after seeing the men talk en from the turrets dead and dying and sending her own naval officers to render assistance, she went on the line and beat, but within the world s record. You doubtless know that the Georgia, immediately after landing her wounded, returned to the target range arriving there about 10 o'clock the same evening, and early the next morning was again on the firing line to finish up her practice. Admiral Thomas action in sending the ship back to her work without mos ment's delay was highly commend. able. In conversation with him in Newport two days ago I gathered that the work done by the Georgia's MT Newberry, the acting secretary, told me this morning that one of the six inch guns nearly tied the world s record"
 President Roosevelt replied to Ad- miral Brownson as follows:
 Oyster Bay, N. r., July 26, 1907.
 My Dear Admiral:
 Many thanks for your letter. would like through you to congratu- late Admiral Thomas and especially the officers and crew of the Georgia upon the way in which without a moments delay the ship went back to her work The whole navy is to be congratulated at the spirit shown by the officers, and enlisted men on board the Missouri and Texas in the other instance to which you refer.
 Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

GIRL VICTIMS OF ATTACK.
New York Police Dealing With .
 Seeming Wave of Crime.

seeming Wave of Crime.
 NEW YORK, July 27. = Reports throughout the metropolitan district of the days record indicate that the ire quent attacks upon little girls have so aroused the citizens to frenzy that a suspected man is in danger of being killed by violence. In two instances accused men were severely treated, one so badly that he is dying in Belle vue hospital.
 Summoned by his five-year-old daughter Ellen's screams, Robert O'Shea rained blows upon Jacob Neu- man. butcher. fifty two years old, who had attacked her. The accused man was beaten into unconsciousness and the crazed parent had to be dragged from the prostrate form by main force. Neuman, upon being re- vived, fell into an epileptic fit and was taken to Bellevue hospital, critically s tll.
 At Paterson. N. J.. Henry Van Peer, the brother of eight-year-old Henricka Van Peer. grlpped the throat of Nal colm Daglia, an aged Armenian tailor, accused of an attack upon the child and knocked him senseless before the courtroom crowd. The brother who seemed to be almost insane from rage, knocked several teeth out of the pris- oner's mouth and choked him black in the face before he was dragged away.
 Daglia narrowly escaped being lynched by a mob of several hundred persons who surrounded the policemen when they arrested him.
 One report was the case of Annie Falkoweke. five years old. of Lin olenmville, Staten Island Joseph Nap wyak. Pole. fifty-four years old. who was accused by the child. was brought to New York by the police to prevent hundreds of infuriated factory hands from punishing him.
 A seventeen-year-old girl was re- moved from the jail in Long Island City to the Kings County hospital vio- lently insane as the result of treat mcnt she suffered in the woods near North Beach from nine men.
 The girl is Virginia Ida Barish, pretty Austrian. She did not recognize her father when he accompanied the i've deputy sheriffs who were neces- sary to remove her from the jail to the hospital Sheriff Talbot of Queens county was walking on the beach at the north end of Bowery bay, North Beach. when he says the girl, naked. ran out of the woods and dashed into the surf. He followed her and he had great difficulty in overriding her. When he caught hold of her she strug- gled violently md seemed bent on ending her life. With the assistance of others who hsd heard the deputy's cries. the girl was carried out of the water to the beach and several mems coats wrapped around her.
 She was hysterical. and 1t was some minutes before she could be quieted sufficiently to give an account of her self.
 The records at police headquarters show that since the murder of fifteen year-old Amelia Staffeldt at EImhurst. \. r.. on May 22. there have been l10 attacks upon women and children in New York city.
