FIGHTS WITH POLICE
"Shoot to KILL" Shouts Leader,
Waving Red Flag.
OFFICERS ARE CUT DOWN
One BIuecoat Is Stabbed in the Back
Another's Head Crushed-Twen-
ty-Four Hour Strike Is
Called.

Lawrence, Mass, Oct. CLOSING
In on squad Of policemen who, with
drawn revolvers, had attempted to
force them to disband, the leaders of
procession of 5000 textile strikers
stabbed one officer in the back,
crushed in the head of another with
blow from club and seriously in
iured several more Sunday.
Hundreds of shots were fired in
lowed. The police were routed and
the strikers continued their parade.
The streets are crowded with strik-
ers and more trouble is feared. The
populace, largely composed Of mill
workers, practically is in state of in
surrection
Three thousand Of the workers had
gathered at the railroad station at
noon to welcome several hundred Wis
iting sympathetic workers from near
by mill towns, who had come to in
dorse the twenty-four-hour strike that
began today.
After the arrival of the trains 5000
Of the workmen and their sympathiz'
ers formed in line to march to the
center Of the city. At their head was
Carlo Presca, a prominent member OF
the Industrial Workers of the World
waving a red flag
The cause of the interference by the
police with the parade was the appear
ance of red flags bearing an anarchis-
tic inscription. Not an American flag
was carried. One of the banners
read:
For the progress of the human race
we have iails, gallows, guillotines and
electric chairs for the people who pay
to keep the soldiers to kill them when
they revolt against Wood and other
| cars of capitalism. Arise, slaves OF
the world. No God. No master, One
for all, all for one"
The Wood referred to is William NJ
| Wood, president of the American
Wooden company.
A squad of policemen was rushed
out to meet the marchers with orders
TO dispense them. The marchers re
fused to break step. The policemen
drew their revolvers and charged. The
crowd fell back as they saw the wea
pons, but, gaining courage as Presca
and his aides spurred them on, closed
in on the officers many of them with
drawn revolvers, and a pitched battle
ensued.
Policeman Thomas McCarlie and
Special officer Ludwig seized Presca

WRECK ENDS LIFE
Of BRUCE-BROWN
Noted Auto Driver Killed on
milwaukee Track.
GOING 90 MILES AN HOUR
Ire eu'sts, Hurting Machine and
Occupants from the Road into a
r'eio-Mec anIcan Receives Injuries
That May Prove Fatal.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS l.. Bruce
Brown, wealthy young New York
sportsman, was killed, and his
mechanician, Tony Scudalari, was ia
tally injured on the new Wauwatosa
automobile road course on the eve of
the eighth running of the Vanderbilt
cup race.
Bruce-Brown was driving his high
powered Fiat car at ninety miles an
hour when a rear left tire blew out
The men and machine were hurled
diagonally across the road into a field
With terrific force
Bruce-BroWns skull was frac-
tured, his left leg broken, and he
suffered internal injuries Surgeons
said death resulted directly from
hemorrhage of the brain. The top
of Scudalari's skull was fractured,
his right arm broken, and his body
seriously torn.
Bruce-Brown died at Trinity hos
pital three hours after the accident.
Surgeons had trephined his skull on
both sides in an unavailing effort to
save his life.
Caleb Bragg, Bruce-Brown's close
friend; Ralph De Palma, Teddy Tetz-
latf, and other we'll known drivers
stood weeping in the hospital CORR
dor as Bruce-Brown was wheeled
from the operating room to q private
ward.
Although only 25 years old. Bruce
Brown was one of the best known
automobile race drivers in the coun-
try. He began racing in 1907, Win
ming his novice race at the Empire
City track. In 1908 he ran away
from school and acted as mechan-
ician for the late Emanuel Cedrino at
OrmOnd Beach, Fla. There Bruce
Brown broke the one mile amateur
record held by William K. Wander
bilt, Jr., the youngsters time being
SO 3-5 seconds.
In 1910 he was obliged to turn
professional in order to drive with
fast company. In spite of the fact
that he has made a great deal of
money in racing he drove principally
for sport.
Bruce-Brown was greatly interest
ed in preparing for the Grand Prix
race, the only event in which he was
entered. He had won the American
Grand PriX twice at Savannah, and
he had hoped to win again this year,
which would have made him perma-
nent holder of the American Grand
Prix cup

HELPING Mother.

Apropos of the Rosenthal murder in
New York, District Attorney Whitman
said to a reporter:
The ramifcations of this crime
were bewildering The most unlikely
men helped in it in the most unlikely
ways. It's like the case of Johnny
Jones
The minister one lovely Sabbath
morning, saw Johnny vending his way
toward the cemetery with a basket on
his arm.
Why, Johnny, what are you up tor
I'm helping mother with her peach
preserving, sir, said the lad.
The minister smiled incredulously
Helping with the preserving he
scoffed 'Nonsense!'
Oh, yes, ] am, sir Johnny persist
ed. I'm on my way to the cemetery
now to collect the jars"

GUST HER HUSBAND
Says She VIII ForecIose Mortgage on
His Home-Angered at His
Statement.

NJ w York. Sept. 2S.-Ma1. Gen.
ninety-three years old, is to be eyict-
ed from his home at % Fifth avenue
and is to be stripped of every posses
sion he has in the world, if his wife
from whom he has been separated for
thirty-two years, carries out her pres
ent plans.
Mrs. Sickles, who is a Spaniard and
issued a formal declaration of war
from her apartments in the Hotel
Marlton on West Eighth street, just a
block from the generals home.
The battle signal was raised withIE
a few seconds after she read a public
statement regarding herself and their
affairs, which Sickles gave out TO the
newspapers. In this statement, Gen
eral Sickles sought to destroy any
sympathy for his wife, based on her
pawning jewelry, a week ago, to take
up an $4,000 Judgment against him;
be attacked her personal character,
said the jewels were his and not hers,
anyway. and charged her with hold
ing the arrested judgment over hi1I
as club.
Mrs. Sickles, with her son, Stanton,
by her side, listened to the reading
Of the generals statement with grow
ing anger, which caused her bosom to
heave more and more violently.
1T is enough" she said. He is
old He is poor. He is my husband
by the law He has been brave SOL
der for his country. So much is true.
But now, badly advised by malicious
old woman, he has forfeited any con-
sideration which he may have had
from me, however little he deserved
consideration. This is the end.
Il hold a $4,000 mortgage on that
house. l shall foreclose that mort
gage. / shall evict him
He says the jewels which I pawned
to save him were not mine, but his.
Every single trinket was mine and
had never been his or that of any
member of his family except one-a
jeweled heart. I redeemed that from
pawnshOp at his request"

INTERVENTION WILL
BE RECOMMENDED
ton in Mexco-Body Is to Re-
port Soon.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 2S.-The
United States senate subcommittee
appointed to investigate relations
with Mexico has completed it, work
in this city and while it's memLTs are
noncommittaI as to the subject mat
ter of the report, they will submit to
the senate committee on foreign re-
iations, Senator Smith says it will
embody evidence showing that since
beginning Of the Madero revolution,
large quantities of munitions of war
have been shipped into Mexico across
the American border.
The report, it is believed, will hold
that the evidence adduced points to
the necessity for the United States
10 intervene in Mexico in order that
Americans and American interests re-
ceive proper protection.
1t is said the evidence proves con-
clusively that no American money
was used in financing the OroZco re-
bellion, but tends 60 establish the
claim that American funds were used
to finance the Madero revolution.

the four front windows were set so
