ing a bicycle escaped in the direction
of Washington yesterday noon after
an attack on Mrs. A. Getzenheimer,
living near the Rosecroft postoffice.
The woman is TIE wife of ar e!rplaye

the screams of the terrified woman.
Mrs. Getzenheimer, who is abont
50 years old, left her home shortly be-
fore noon yesterday and walked to the
rural delivery mail box about a quar-
ter of mile from her house.
A tall negro in his shirt sleeves and
wearing light trousers stood near the
box, bicycle lying on the ground be-
side him.
Glancing up and down the road to
make sure no one was in sight, the
fellow sprang at Mrs. Gentzheimer
and pinioned her arms to her side
With threats that he would choke the
II life out of her" if she resisted, he at
tempted to drag her off the highway
Screaming in terror, the woman
fought desperately to free herself
from the negro's grasp. Alarmed
the black loosed his hold, and declar-
ing, with an oath, that he would fix
her business" struck Mrs. Cent?
heimer in the face with his fist
knocking her down. Jumping on his
wheel, he pedaled swiftly away in the
direction of Washington.
Mrs. Gentzheimer ran to her home
and told of the attack and posses were
soon formed.
Up to late hour last night the ne
gro had not been apprehended.

London, Aug. 16.-Three hundred

driven from the Tilbury Docks today
after a terrific fight with strike SYM
pathizers in which dozens were in
jured. To save the vanquished non

helter-skelter aboard a train which
happened fortunately to be waiting
with steam up at Tilbury station and
rushed to London.
The docks at Tilbury, on the left
bank of the Thames just opposite
Graves End are among the largest
in the world and especial efforts have
been made by the employers to pre-
vent work on them being interfered
with by the strike.
The strikers gathered so quickly
that police reinforcements could not
be rushed to the scene fast enough
and by the time they arrived the
fight, waged with clubs, stones and
knuckles, was overt.

Possible Clue to Whereabouts of
Lefty and Gyp-Special Session of

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 1G.-Governor
Dix today named Justice Gotf to hold
d special term of the Supreme Court
at the request of District Attorney
Whitman, in the police graft case.
New York, Aug. 16.-Whie detec-
tives, on a clue furnished by a post
card alleged to have been received
by Bridgie Webber today was search
ing the vicinity of Methuen, Mass,
for Lefty Louie and Gyp the blood,
wanted for the murder thirty days
ago of gambler Herman Rosenthal,
uneasy denisons Of New York's ten
dcrloin were wondering what next.
Raids were made on eighteen disord-
erly houses and their keepers were
arrested. District Attorney Whit
man asserted that the vice of the ten
derloin was in the hands of a trust
regularly organized, the four direc-
tors of which held weekly meetings.
He said they split up enormous prof
it's and that they absolutely control
led all of the disorderly resorts IN
New York, which the police allowed
to operate. Whitman said that there
had been no move by the police
against such places since the kosen"
thai assassination.
The possible clue to the Wherea-
bouts of Lefty and Gyp furnished by
Webber came in the form of a post
card with Methuen date, enclosed
in two sealed envelopes. "Do BEST
vcu can. We are all right. l.. and
G." was writer. Oh the card and Web
her said the hand writing was like
that of Lefty Louie. He called his
LAWYER and the attorney told "hlt-
man. The district attorney was IN
clined to believe the card hoax until
il was learned that Lefty had rela-
+ives in the vicinity Of the Massa-
chusetts town.
II was learned today that Whitman
had asked Governor Dix to order al

Capt. Lords Statement.

Liverpool, Aug. 16-In the hope OF
showing that an injustice has been
done him by accusations that he dis
regarded distress signals from the
sinking Titanic. Capt. Lord Of the
steamship Californian, gave out a
public explanation today Of all that
happened aboard his boat on the night
of the disaster.
"The evidence is conclusive" he
says, "that no responsible officer OF
the Californian was aware that there
had been such a calamity. The sec
ond officer, who did see signals, was
the only one who saw them and
think l was justified in relying or
his judgment.
clad the Californian been thu
steamship seen by those on the Ii
tanic it would also have been sighted
by the Carpathia.
at is unthinkable that any seaman
would wilfully disregard what HI
knew to be distress signals"
