and went to work for Allen. In some
way he became indebted to Allen, and
since that time Allen has had an ex-
traordinary control of him and could
coerce him into anything. He practi-
Ically forced Dickers into the counter

GANG WARFARE NOW
RAGING IN GOTHAM
One Murder and Bomb Out
rage Features of a Battle
Early This Morning.
National News Assocfation)

NEW YORK, July 17.-Gang war
fare was transferred to Harlem early
today and out of it grew a murder and
a mob outrage. Shortly before 2
O'Clock there was a fusilade of from
10 to Is shots at the corner of 1S0th
street and Second avenue When the
police arrived on the scene they
found the body of a we'll dressed man
evidently an Italian-lying upon the
sidewalk with bullet holes in his body.
Eight of them had been fired into his
back, evidently after he had fallen
from a shot in the head. The police
summoned an ambulance although the
man was dead when found.
Just as the ambulance drew up an
explosion was heard in 109th street
which showed that an Internal ma
chine had been set off on the first
floor of the tenement at 30S East 109th
street. shattering the front of the
building. AT the Harlem hospital an
effort was made to identify the dead
man but without success. His body
| was then removed to the morgue.
A short time after the shooting a
wounded man walked into the 18th
i Street police station. He said he had
/ been hurt in bomb explosion and
asked medical aid. After being treat
| ed he disappeared before the police
! could question him further
The authorities began an investi-
CATION along the line that the shoot
! ing and bomb outrage were in some
way connected. They believe that the
/ old gang adage that dead men tell
no lies" is involved in the murder of
! the unknown man.

WRECKED RACING
| FAST |NTERURbAN

In a mad race with the Dayton-In-
dianapolis Limited traction car last
night, King" Brumfield, was severe
ly injured when the automobile which
he was driving, skidded and turned
over the culvert west of Reidston.
Young Brumfield sustained two brok-
en- ribs, two teeth knocked out and sew
eral slight bruises and cuts. The ma
chine was almost a total wreck.
The Richmond indianapolis Limited
car which left Richmond last night
about o'clock was running past the
Peacock road, west of town about
thirty miles an hour. The idea of
racing against it appealed to young
Brumfield and putting on all the pow
er, cutting on the exhaust, he sped
down the road. Just after passing
Reidston at terrific speed his machine
hit bump, with the result that be-
fore he could regain control of the
racing machine he had landed in the
ditch at one side of the road, near a
culvert. He was taken to Centerville
where his wounds were dressed and
then taken to the county poor farm
where his father is superintendent.
