Charge the Disturbers.
ANARCHY FLAUNTED IN
OUAKERTOWN'S STREETS
Leaders Are Battered and Ex-
change Bullets with Blue
coats Near City Hall.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.-Eighteen
men who followed the red flag of un-
rest as a part of a marching crowd of
1900 persons, are in jail and hospitals
today, suffering from injuries inflicted
] when they FLASHED with the police.
The throng had attempted to attack
the City Hall, but before that point
was reached the police had interfered.
The demonstration. which was par
tlcipated in entirely by persons Of
foreign birth and negroes. had been
inspired by the speech of Noltairine de
> cieyre, a girl disciple of anarchism.
1t was a near-commune, and it came
to grief. The speech -naking took
place at New Auditorium Hall, in
South Third street.
ned Flags waved In streets.
The men, most of whom were Italians
and Poles, marched from the foreign
settlement in the lower section of the
city. The leaders and a score of others
carried red flags having a black border.
When they reached Broad street, a few
blocks below the City Hall. several
wagons attempted to pass through the
line, and the drivers We're dragged
from their seats and badly beaten.
Policemen ran to the rescue of the
drivers and q riot call was sent i'll.
The motor bicycle police were sent
flying through the centre of the city
and rounded up the entire mounted po-
lice squad, the big reserve street
squad. and all p%atrolmen, who were
hurried to the scene in wagons and au-
tomobiles. Private carriages that were
standing in front of stores were even
pressed INTO service.
Marchers Shoot Among Police.
When the big reserve force hurried
down upon the marchers a general riot
was in progress. Some of the march
ers drew pistols and began firing, and
the mounted officers, riding into the
centre of the fight, used their batons
right and left. Three policemen were
shot and slightly wounded, inc Charles
Mum. who was watching the fight. was
struck in the leg by a stray bullet.
Reserve Officer Pyott was beaten and
Is in a hospital, as is Policeman Smith,

drivers who were attacked. Harry

pants in the demonstration We're SO

TWO ARE KILLED
BY VENGEANCE OF.
THE BLACK HAND
CONTINUED from First raee.5


in a neighbours yard some distance
away.
A lodger, who had been in the house
only w or three days. and whose name
Mrs. Marrone did not know, was in a
room on the first floor. and received the
full force of the dynamite charge, the
top of his head being blown OFF.
Couldn't Find Her House.
After the explosion. policemen and
fireinen began a search for Mrs. Mar
rome and her children, or their bodies,
and were amazed to see all four march
out from thed debris in the cellar.
What has ~happened?" she cried in
italian. where is my house? h is
the work of the Black Hand"
Mrs. Marrone was hysterical, but a
hasty examination made by Coroner
Curry, of Hackensack, showed she was
uninjured. The coroner examined the
children and found them also un-
harmed. The eldest child Is z years
old, while the youngest is 3. Mrs. Mar
rome explained that she had gone to
the cellar for kindling wood just before
the explosion occurred. She had taken
the children with her in order to keep
watch over them while occupied in her
task.
Boarder Probably Was Cause.
A son of Mrs. Marrone. % years old,
who was not at home when h ex-
plosion occurred, told Coroner Curry
he had never heard his mothers
boarder mention his name. The cor
|oner is of the opinion that the man was
sought by enemies, who exploded the
dynamite outside the building with the
intention of killing him.
All Fairview was shaken by the force
of the explosion. Many windows near
the Marrone house were smashed.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The/ police

FIVE HUNDRED PENNIES
STOLEN FROM NEWSMAN.
How Thief Carried Away His
Loot from Frank ScherhOlz,
Is a Mystery.

Five hundred pennies and 50 or So
more in other coins, the earnings of an
afternoon and evenings trade, were
st.R.n from the cash drawer of Frank
S~chepholz, a newsdealer at 221 Main
st1eet, Orange, last night. The thief
. entered through a window in the back
of tho place.
What is puzzling the police is the
question Of how the thief got away
with the loot. They feel convinced that
the work was done by a boy and yet
they cannot understand how any
youugster in that neighborhood could
go about the street with his pockets
bullying with coin. as they must ave
been, and not create suspicion.

VESSELS BUILT IN KOBE
FROM AMERICANS PLANS
Declares They Will Be Able to
Make Better Speed Than
Evans's Fleet Has.

In the event of war with Japane this
country will be forced to battle against
a number of submarine boats invented

former Newarker. who invented the
first successful submarine boats and
drew the plans for those now being used
by Uncle Sans navy.
According to a statement made by
Mr.. Holland to an EVENING STAR re-
porter, the Jap submarines will be
faster than those of Admiral Evans's
fleet, and surpass any vessel of that
type now III existence.
According to the New Jersey inz
ventor the Japanese government is
now building a number of submarine
boats at Kobe. from plans drawn by
government.
Mr.. Holland said: 1.-The vessels are
being built under the personal super
vision of Baron Matsukata from plans

II saw the baron in September and
again in October last, and he told me
that the boats were being built in the
docks at Kobe, but he would not tell
me how many were under construction
nor how many Japanese submarines
the government expected to build, but
1 was given to understand that there
would be a large number.

"And I wan to tell you," the in-
continued, they will be com
petent to cross the Pacific Ocean at a
greater speed than Admiral Evans's
fleet is making on its present cruise.
They will be perfectly competent t.
accompany a battleship fleet on any
cruise and on n mission it may have.
So far as is known, there Is no known
defense to the submarine. and a hotilla
of submarine such as / know the
Japanese to be building could wreak
great havoc on the Pacific coast. The
is no defense against the
but may only be used as

to attack a rbattleship feet or land

He further stated that hi would be
able to furnish sufficient proof to show
that Japan was really Strengthening

A Million Dollars In Assets

There is usually some good reason
for abnormal growth In any business
and it Is so with Savings Banks. The

II says:
The Hyde Park savings bank reach
ed a notable point In its history July
IL, when for the first time the assets
of the institution reached the million
mark. The master mind In the affairs
of the bank is that of its president,
Carroll s. PAGE, and to that far-sight-
ed policy and liberal treatment that
so markedly characterizes all his bust
ness and financial dealings, is largely
due the great increase in assets and
the success that has always attended
the institution.
