ST. PETERSBURG. January 17.-The

men, have about finished their education

obey implicitly any man in police uni

ununifornIed man. They will answer a
police whistle. will go to the aid of a po-
liceman attacked and run down any man
who attempts to run away from police

man they are after by the legs and throw
him. keeping guard over him until uni

CARNIVAL OF CRIME
Attacks Made Upon Women on
Public Thoroughfares.
BRUTAL FORM OF VIOLENCE
Special Report Made by Superin-
tendent of Police.
STEPS TO PREVENT OUTRAGES
Says Police Force Is Not Large
Enough for the Territory
Covered.

Three brutal attacks on women, with
robbery apparently as the sole motive,
have so perturbed the residents OF one of
the quietest neighborhoods in town. direct
ly southwest of Thomas Circle, that la
dies are afraid 10 venture even block
alone, To reach the street cars, in the
earliest hours of the evening
These attacks have all been made by a
colored man and have been accompanied
by such violence as would probably prove
fatal TO a delicate woman. Heavy blows
of the fist in the lace, beating Of the
head against the pavement. and similar
outrageous forms OF attack have been
the criminals methods. doubtless with a
view to stunning his victims. so that no
call for help could be uttered
The most recent OF the outrages was
that reported in The Star Wednesday.
Miss Janette Kelley. a cashier of the Ar
lington Hotel was beaten and robbed early
Tuesday night on the sidewalk directly
in front of the driveway TO the Portland
apartment house.

OF President Tyler, was attacked in front

Dewey. just about block away from the
scene Of the latest crime.

Mrs. Robert Hickman was attacked as
she was entering the apartment house
where she resides. the LenoX. in l. street
a block away rom the spot where Miss
Kelley was beaten and robbed.
All these crimes were committed by a
colored man. and il is presumed that In
each case the criminal is the same. The
police have found no trace of him, al
though the crimes were committed at q
time when the streets are by no means
deserted.

According to the report to Commissions
er Macfarland, there have been sixteen
cases of pocketbook snatching since Sep
tember 2J. and in every instance the vic
tim was woman and the robbery was
committed on well-lighted streets between
the hours of and 1915 o'clock. AL
though the money and valuables taken
from the victims did not amount to d
great deal. a number Of those attacked
were knocked down or otherwise injured
and seriously frightened. Three or four
arrests have been made. but in only one
case has the alleged highwayman been
gent to the grand jury. Two colored boys
were arrested as being guilty of one of
the ''hold-ups.' but when they were taken
before the Juvenile Court they were fined
$40 each and were turned over to the
board of children's guardians

There are seven large apartment houses
in the neighborhood.
The extent of the ooiice beats mas
something to do with the boldness OF the
criminal apparently. for he probably
knows that the beat is so large that a
patrolnan must be absent from any specl-
fled place for at least an hour Defore
passing it again. In that particular So
tion where the last attack occurred the
beat OF the night patrolman has been les
seneG. but even now 1t is long. It's
boundaries now are from 18th to l1tn
streets and from K to NJ. This IS In the

Hickman was in the third precinct. Here

to 18th street and from Is TO N.
Plain-clothes men. 1T is said. have
been on watch in the neghborhood but
thus far there are no results from tneH
activities.
That women should be afraid to venture
out of doors after nightfall. in one OF
the quietest sections of the capital OF the
nation close to the center of the city and
but a block from one OF the main ar
teries of travel. is a situation that ought
10 be remedied as soon as possible.
patrolman or detective stationed at the in
tersection of Vermont avenue and l.
street could survey from that point the
whole territory threatened by the un-
caught criminal. and would restore the
confidence of that part of the community
in the efficiency Of the police force as a
rreventer of crime.

SERIOUS RIOTS At LISBON
Seven Persons Killed and Hun
dred Others Wounded.

Lisbon, April 7.-Seven persons were
shot to death and 100 others were
wounded by soldiers after the voting
in the elections in this city had ended.
The rioting was widespread and such
was the confusion during the violent
conflict between the populace and the
municipal guard that the guardsmen,
mistaking infantrymen who had been
called out for members of the mob,
fired a volley into their ranks, seri-
ously wounding three Of the soldiers.
The night was one of terror for Lis
bon, which seemed suddenly aaanie
with revolt. Bands of men ran wildly
through the streets, brandishing
weapons, while the sharp crack of
rifles was heard in various sections
of the city. Thousands of the most
peaceable citizens fled to their homes
just as they. did on the night after the
assassination of King Carlos and the
crown prince
