Mayor John Purroy Mitchell on
Saturday, declared war on the organ,
tied gangs of New York and caused
emphatic orders to be given to the po-
lice that bands Of drug fiends, murder
ers and thieves be broken up. The KILL

a prominent German citizen by bullets
that flew in a street fight between rival
East Side gangs, prompted the ac-
ton. Police Commissioner Douglass
Mckay ordered roundup OF gans
leaders. A score or more had oeen
brought to police headquarters py

world. Gang outrages, gang street
fights and gang killings haze been ire

police have laid their inability to cope
with the evil to Mayor Gaynors anti.
climbing orders. Police officials recall
that the old time New York gang

gang operations and influence became
Formidable. The latter day "gunman

type, the police declare, who exists on
the earnings Of his woman compan-

break up the gangs, Mayor Mitchell
said he was not at all satisfied with
the manner in which the police had
handled the question in the past. They
have been too tolerant OF the existence

this city" he said. I'VE mean to look
fully into conditions which tend to de-
yelop these gangs. We must do more
to correct as well as to suppress"

milton. two cannon, four large field
pieces and 1900 civilian refugees were
in the custody of the United States
army border patrol today as the result
of the federal evacuation OF OJlnaga,

can village by General Francisco Villas
rebel forces. The distress Of the refu-
gees is intense. They have scant food
and no shelter. Men, women, children
dogs, chickens and cattle are packed
together in a space covering seVerai
acres. About them are scattered all
the goods and baggage brought in
flight from Ojinaga. Urgent requests
for the immediate removal Of soldiers
and refugees to some other places were
sent by Major McNamee to the war de-
partment through Gen. Bliss. Among
