NEW YORK GANGS

FIGHT Revolver Duel From Seats

BULLETS ALL WENT WILD

New York, Sept. 17.-Gunmen said
by the police to be members of rival
gangs, whose activity in the primary
election yesterday led to the renewal
Of an old feud, engaged in a revolver
duel while seated in two automobiles

Four. including the chauffeur, were
arrested and locked up charged with
attempted felonious assault and VIC

No attempt was made to capture the
members OF the besieged party. So
far as could be learned none Of the
gunner was injured.
According to the police the shoot
ing is an outcome of the primary
fight in the 18th Assembly district
between rivals for the democratic
leadership. They say the four men
under arrest are members of the
Jack Sirrocco gang and that they

SIS the College Making Good?"

Under the above title in The Out
look, Edward Box, editor of the
Ladies Home Journal, recently gave
the educational animals a vigorous
stirring. Mr.. Box analysed $40 let
ters received by him form college
graduates, the same being sent in
response to questions sent out by
him. He complains primarily of the
bad English and spelling in these
letters.
A lively discussion has resulted.
in which many colleges professors
and graduates criticise Mr.. Box for
attaching too little weight to liberal
culture. But any editor who has
ever had the job of shaping up the
rough, raw English of even educat-
ed people, will find much force in his
statement.
This is a day when grammer is
not fashionable The high school
student is asked to discuss the
question WAS Hamlet really mad?"
or What indications of social and
economic progress do you find In
Chaucer's poems?' But he may not

In many high schools the pupils
would look blank if you mentioned
the "nominative case" Many edu-
Gators hold that If young people
hear good English in school, and if
bad English is corrected. the young
people will insensibly acquire cor

needed.
They forget that the world is full
OF bad grammar. Even the college

INTERNAL MACHINE
SENT HARRISON
GRAY OTIS
Attempt to Murder Owner Of
Los Angeles Times
JAPANESE BOY SPOILS PLOT
Bomb Came in Mail and Contained
Two Sticks of
Dynamite.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. l1.-Gen.
Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the
Les Angeles Times, received an in
fernal machine by mail yesterday.
1t was the second time within three
years that Gen. Otis life had been
attempted by a bomb Any chance
of his being killed or injured by the
bomb was foiled by the watchfulness
of Gen Otis Japanese servant, who
became suspicious of the package
and called his employers attention to
it. The first internal machine sent
to Gen. Otis was found at his resi-
dence few hours after the Times
building had been destroyed by eX-
plosions through the efforts of the
Mcnamara conspirators.
The attempt on his life yesterday
was attributed by the general to
agencies friendly to those in the
Times conspiracy. The police and
postal authorities, however, believed
that the Mexican question possibly
had part in it, as Gen Otis is large
ly interested in lands in the Mexican
territory Of Lower California, where
two years ago industrial workers of
the world joined the direct actor"
element Of Mexicans in an effort to
establish a socialistic commonwealth.
The bomb reached THE Bivouac.
Gen Otis home. at IL O'Clock yester-
day morning. 1t was contained in
small package five inches long, three
inches wide and two inches deep,
wrapped in brown paper. With other
mail it was given by the postman to
the Japanese servant He removed
the wrapping paper before taking it
to Gen. Otis and told the general
that he thought there was something
suspicious about the package. q

Capt. Il. b. FeltZ "A powder expert
in the police department, took the
machine to a field near the Los An
geles river and there pried open the
box. He found the matches fixed to
the inside of the cover in such way
that if it were opened they would
have rubbed against pieces of sand

ments of the same old gang with the

DOGS STOPPED ARGUMENT
Inner Workings of the Income Tax
Remain Unsettled.

Engineer NJ. B. Middleton claims
this town needs shaking up. Last
night while discussing how the in
come tax would effect him, on the
postoffice lot there came the shake
up. AS a result the income tax re
mains unsettled.
Two large dogs that had given
close attention to the debate became
excited and Engineer Middleton lost
not only his argument but a trans
verse section of his pants There
are too many dogs around the post
office lot. especially when any seri-
GUS discussion is going on.
Everyone knows the seat of q dog S
pants are his lungs and it is a shame
they can not let other peoples pants
alone.
1t is not known when the income
tax discussion will be resumed, but
it is certain no dogs will be allowed
at future debates if Engineer Middle
ton is first consulted.

double sacrifice than a single one.
The Lord wanted her. The Lord al
ways wants something" Schmidt
said he had drunk some of his vic
Tins blood because he wanted to
partake of true communion.
Continuing their search OF Murets
fiat, detectives found the evidence
that the occupants had planned to
make not only spurious 500 bills but
So and SO certificates. In the cam
era found in the fiat was a powerful
tense, capable of faithfully reprodu,
ing the minutest details of engraving
on genuine bills. a great many neg
atives of So and $40 bills were found
in a closet. Many of these negatives
had been broken, but half dozen Z
more were intact. The detectives al
so found engravers' tools, but these
appeared TO have been of a type used
by tyroes rather than experts. In
addition they also discovered a re-
volver and all kinds of obstetrical in,
struments, several surgical saws and
bone forceps. The finding of these
instruments, coupled with the fact
that Muret and Schmidt had been
cronies for some months, caused the
detectives to press with renewed
vigor the search for something
which might directly connect the
dentist with the murder of Anna Au-
muller

WILLIAMS DOUBLE LIFE
More Evidence Bobs Up TO Astonish
ment of Many

Boston, Sept. 1G.-More evidence of
the double life of the late George H.
Williams, who was termed by many
the "Braintree millionaire" is COM
ing to light every day, and large
number of people are wondering how
they happened to be such easy dupes
for him. Mrs. Williams says that she
knew nothing of his wTong-doing. 1t
has been found that Williams former
~ was a professional card-writer and
onetime engraver, which in large
measure accounts for his skill with
the pen in manipulating notes and
other valuable papers. How extern
siye Williams unfair financial trans
actions were will not be known for
some time. but il seems certain that
they ran into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The president of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, of which Williams was
the general agent in Boston, says thac
the company can lose nothing through
these crooked dealings on the part of
its representative, which were skill.
fully hidden from all of the officers.
Mrs. Williams said that in all her
life she had not known that there was
Grace Faust. When the name of
Miss Emma X. Welligton. former sec
rotary of Mr. Williams, was mention
ed she admitted that she had known
her. But the most terrible grief of
all she declared, concerns the ter
rible stories of his wrong doings.
