NEGRO ATTACKS GIRL.
Caught by Officer after Long Chase
an Fog.

Miss May Powell, of No 172 West 150th street,
was held up by a negro in a deserted spot on St
Nicholas avenue near 143d street, last night
under cover of the dense fog. The negro struck
her stunning blow on the back of the head
and after grabbing her watch and chatelaine
purse disappeared in the darkness. After
chase of several blocks he was captured by Pa
trolman George Leis. of the West 125th street
station.
Miss Powell, who is a sister of Police Lieu
tenant Alonzo Powell, had been calling on some
friends and was returning to her home with her
mother when she attacked. She wore d
diamond studded watch her breast, and it is
supposed that this display invited the negro's
cupidity.
When Miss Powell recovered from the first
shock of the attack she Joined her screams with
those of her mother. Two blocks away stood
Patrolman Leis vainy attempting to decide
from which direction in the fog came the cries.
He finally learned the trouble, and after long
run captured the man.
Miss Powell and her mother at once identified
the negro, who broke down and confessed. He
had thrown the watch and purse into vacant
lot in 1920 street, where they were found.

THE NEW HOME RULE MOVEMENT.

Dublin Sept 24-Sir Anthony Patrick Macdonnell,
former Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant Of
Ireland has resumed political activity. He pre-
sided at a recent secret conference of the Irish
Reform Association. of which Lord Dunraven is
president and from which the devolution pro-
posals originally emanated. and the officials of the
new Imperial Home Rule Association which lately
sprang up in the ranks of the Companions Of ST.
Patrick.
Neither Lord Dunraven nor William O'Brien, the
Nationalist member of Parliament for Cork, was
present at this meeting but they met recently at
the Galway conference which was called for the
purpose of finding common basis on which those
believing in a more moderate form of home rule
than that demanded by the Nationalists could
agree.
The present movement is looked upon with suspi-
cion by the Nationalists an attempt TO cut
down home rule a minimum when 1t comes TO
be practically considered. It is supported, how
ever by powerful interests, including many con-
yerted Unionists.
1t is understood that Sir Antony proposed to the
conference that he introduce in the House OF
Lords as a private measure the Councils Dill whci
Sir Henry Campbell l-Bannermans government Of
fered the Nationalists. but which was rejected py

Mr.. Carnegie Pounds 1t s01th Ont
of 81, ,25O,OO0.

London Sept. 24.-Encouraged by the success
that has attended the establishment OF his
Hero Fund in America Andrew Carnegie mas
decided to found a similar fund in Scotland. TO
this end he is about to hand over to trustees
the sum of 81 1,250,O00.
Mr. Carnegie has selected as the admln1stra-
tors of his new benefaction the trustees of the
Carnegie Dunfermne Fund. to whom he made
over s.. 100000 in 1908 for the purpose Of in
Producing more sweetness and light. into the
rnonotonous lives of the toilng me sses of Dun
fermline."
In a letter to the trustees. dated September
21 Mr.. Carnegie says: 'The success of my Hero
Fund upon the North American continent has
been so great that I have decided to extend Its
benefits to my native land" Mr. Carnegie then
lays down at length the general plan upon which
he desires the fund to be administered for the
benefit of heroes and heroines injured in at
tempts to preserve rescue their fellows, or. in
case of death, for the benefit of those who were
dependent upon them. Such the heroes of
civilization" Mr.. Carnegie writes: 'the false
heroes of barbarsm MANNED or killed their fell
lows"
Bonds bearing interest at per cent to the
value of 81 100000 will be placed in the hands
of the trustees. The beneiciaries of this fund
to be confined to followers Of peaceful vo-
cations in the British Isles and the waters
thereof" Mr.. Carnegie especially recommends
to the of the trustees the widows and chill
dren of victims of heroism and of doctors and
nurses who volunteer their services in epidemics
mo action could be more heroic than that of
such doctors and nurses" he writes land rail-
road employees also are remarkable for their
heroism"
King Edward, with whom Mr.. Carnegie con-
suited relative to the establishment of this fund
has given it his approval, and Mr.. Car
negie has instructed the trustees to provide for
the wants of all persons to whom the King pre-
sents medals for heroism in peaceful pursuits.
