ROWD|ES FATALLY
SHOOT TWO
CHILDREN
Shocking Results Of Gun Fight
In New York Street
SEVERAL PERSONS WOUNDED
Bullets Hit Girl Of Nine and Boy OF
10 In Abdomens And Both
viii Die.

New York, July 23.-Two little
children were shot and probably ia
tally injured and several other per
sons are believed to have been
wounded last night when a gang of
rowdies became involved in a run
ming gun fight in the East Side. The
battle took place in East Twelfth
street, and the thoroughfare was
crowded when the rowdies without
warning drew guns and began shoot
ing at one another. A panic ensued
and there was wild scramble to get
out of the way of the flying lead.
Several persons were seen to limp
away, but according to the police the
two children were the only ones
found to be seriously hurt.
A nineyear-old girl who was play
ing in front of her home was struck
in the abdomen by one of the bullets
and taken to a hospital in a seri-
Gus condition. A few minutes later
13-year-old lad staggered into his
home with blood streaming from
wound in his abdomen, and he also
was removed to hospital in a dying
condition.

PRoeRgssIvEs UNCERTAIN.
They Are Not Sure About Putting
State Ticket In Field.

Burlington, July 22-The head and
front of the Vermont progressives
namely Wallace Batchelder of Bethel
and Charles H. Thompson of Brattle
boro arrived in the city today
and established headquarters at the
Hotel Vermont, where, at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning the convention is
to be held.
The gathering tomorrow, which is
described as "a mass convention"
will be for the purpose of naming
complete state and federal tickets
and delegates to the Roosevelt Chic
ago convention.
Mr.. Batchelder has been selected
as temporary chairman. Nothing Of
a definite nature concerning the pro
posed platform or resolutions to be
adopted by the convention could be
learned tonight. Mr. Batchelder
stated that nothing had been done to-
ward drawing up a platform except
in very general way and that he
was unable to say what the result
of the meeting tomorrow would be-
Although it had been given out
that the body of delegates would
reach the city late tonight, no great
amount of excitement was apparent
about the hotel and the convention
appeared to have caused little com
ment
In a statement late tonight Mr..
Batchelder said they were feeling
their way" and did not know if they
would put a state ticket in the field

candidates, who would remain on the
Republican ticket, and the Roosevelt
candidates who would resign because
they were unwilling to remain under
such conditions.
What does Col. Roosevelt wlsh?'
Mr.. Finn was asked.
THE Colonel has no fixed idea. He
will run an independent ticket if he
wants it. Our plan makes certain
that all of Pennsylvania 3 electors
are for Roosevelt There is no doubt
that he would win on a joint cleo
toral ticket. | am confident he will
beat Wilson if he runs independent
ly, but he is absolutely sure to do
that if his plans were not adopted
so on a joint ticket" Mr.. Finn said
he believed some of the Roosevelt
men now on the Republican state
ticket would resign, but that his
lawyers had advised him that they
could not be forced off.
The candidates for Congress and
for the state offices are bound to be
on both tickets, anyway" he contin-
ued. I'VE have the state committee,
and the state convention has not
been fully adjourned. Whatever is
done, Mr. Finn explained, the ma
tional progressive party will have a
full ticket in the field.

GOOD GAMES COMING
II Will be Lively Week in 5ennng
ton Baseball Circles

Three good ball games are schedul-
ed at Morgan park during the pres
ent week. Tomorrow afternoon a
league game will be played with Pit
tsfield, Thursday afternoon Benning-
ton will have as opponents the fam
Gus club of Cinnamon from Hawaii
university in Honolulu and on Satur-
day there will be another game with
Pittsfeld. The Fowler park game
will be with the North Adams team,
Such varied bill of baseball
should result in better crowds than
have been at Morgan park during the
present season Both of the games
with Pittsfeld are league contests.
The game with the Cinnamon will
not only be something of a novelty,
but it will be a good ball game. The
Chinese are remarkably good ball
players. The team that will come to
Morgan park on Thursday is the only
team OF Cinnamon playing ball in the
country today The club arrived at
San Francisco from Honolulu in
March and has been working its way
east since that date. There are six
teen men in club so that it is pos
sible to have two players for nearly
every position
The Cinnamon are excellent field
ers and remarkably fast base runners
but are not quite up to the American
standard as yet in batting. They
have beaten some of the strong col
lege teams OF the country and have
made excellent records wherever
they have appeared. They have
played many games without an error.

THE JoHNsoNvILLe ACCIDENT.
All Three Of Injured Making Good
Progress Toward Recovery.

| According to a telephone message
I received at the residence of ex Gov
John G.. Mccullough in North Ben
nington this forenoon all three OF
the young men, Neveryou Papers,
Philip Fay and Stuart Mayhem, who
were injured in the automobile acct
dent at Johnsonville early Sunday
morning, were making good progress
toward recovery.
The only anxiety is in the case OF
Fay who is severely bruised about
the back and hips and who may
have been injured internally Fay
has cut on the back OF his head
but the wound appears to be super
fetal.
Papers face is marked by numer'
Gus cuts and bruises but he has as
yet failed to show any indications Of
internal injuries One of his wrists
is bandaged.
Stuart Mayhem will return to his
home in North Bennington the last
of the week.
Mr.. Connors, the butler at the Nc
Cullough residence, was in Troy yes
terday and visited all three of the
young men at the city hospital. lie
talked with all of them and found
them as cheerful as could be expect
ed under the circumstances.
The wreck of the automobile was
brought here yesterday afternoon.
According to persons who have seen
the results of similar accidents it is
the most complete smashing of its
kind on record At first il was be
lieved that the engine was in fair
condition but an investigation dlscios-
es the fact that it will have TO be
sent to the factory for repairs.
Some of the parts of the automo-
bile were stolen before persons so
authorized had an opportunity to col
lect what was left Some of the in
ner tubes were taken from the tires
and other parts are missing

FLYNN At OYSTER
BAY TO CONFER
WITH COLONEL
Pennsylvania Case Hard Puzzle
To Solve
COMPROMISE SUGGESTED
Question OF Electors May Be LET
over Until After Convention at
Chicago.

New York, July 23.-For four hours
at Oyster Bay, N. Y, yesterday Col
Roosevelt and William Finn of Pitts
burg talked over the Pennsylvania
tangle in the formation OF The new
party. When the conference ended
the tangle was apparently just as
knotty as ever. 1t was announced
that the question has been left open
until after the Chicago convention.
Mr. Finn pronounced it the most
complicated situation he had ever
had anything to do with, one which
was without a parallel in American
politics. Col. Roosevelt let it 90 with
the statement that he did not want
to decline.
The impression gathered from the
utterances of the ex-president and
his Pittsburg leader was that Mr.
Finn had done a good days work
for his cause. and that Col Roose-
welt was more inclined to look at
things from his point OF view. There
was nothing to show that Mr.. Finn
had definitely carried his point, but
it is believed that he succeeded in
convincing the Colonel that his ar.
guments were we'll grounded. Mr. d.
Finn came to speak about the Penn
sylvania situation said Col. Roose.
welt. We talked it over and agreed
that he should go back and discuss
ii with his people and then bring up
the matter again at Chicago
Have you any idea" he was ask
ed, what will be done?"
The Colonel smilingly refused TO
make any predictions. Il tried mere
ly to express my own views" said
he, but | will not dictate This
remark was received in some quar-
tiers as an indication that he might
not insist upon opposing the Finn
plan to the end. Mr.. Finn said that
whatever was decided upon there
would be no breach in their ranks.
I'VE will not do anything the Col
onel objects to-" he said 1T is
simply a question whether we shall
have a joint electoral ticket, taking
for the Roosevelt ticket as many of
the Republican candidates as will
regard as binding in the electoral col
lege, an agreement to vote for the
candidate for president who receives
the highest number of votes, whether
il is Taft or Roosevelt
THAT is what my associates and |
want to do. The other proposal is to
put up brand new ticket. Then
We should have three classes of men.
