MOB ATTACKS AUTOlSTS
TRIES TO AyENGE DEATH OF LIT.
TIE NEW YORK GIRL.
Girl Rushed Before Astonished Driver
Suddenly With No Possible Chance

Police revolvers were drawn Sun
day afternoon to disperse an angry
mob which sought to avenge the
death of eleven-year-old Teresa Mar
tucci of New York killed by an auto
mobile driven by VIM. Necker, a New
Jersey undertaken, whose small son
was with him. Police investigation
subsequently determined that the
driver was in no way to blame for
the accident, the child suddenly run
ming into the path OF the car.
Before the Neckers could ascertain
the injuries of the girl, men and wo-
men, mostly Italians, swarmed from
the tenement houses. and a dozen
men, armed with any object that
came to their hands, charged upon
the Automobiles, shouting threats to
kill.
They ran into Railways, only to be
driven out by tenants. They were
being surrounded when the elder
Necker, almost exhausted, saw the
open door of Dominick Scocozza's un-
dertaking shop at 2074 First avenue.
"Get in there, WILL" he shouted to
his son, and led the way into the
store. Scocozza sent the two men to
the rear, bolted the front door and
stood guard with club: Within a
| few seconds several hundred people
besieged the shop, brandishing strips
of wood or with stones in their hands,
and shouting to Scocozza that unless
he opened the door they would storm
the place.
While the undertaken was parley-
| ing with the crowd, Policeman Nc
lNamara forced his way through the
mob. With his club he made a clear
| ing in front Of the door and ordered
the refugees to telephone to police
headquarters for help. When dozen
street reserves reached the store the
crowd had forced Mcnamara to wall
and was about to break in the doors.
Drawing clubs and revolvers the
police formed a flying wedge and
drove back the crowd. The Neckers,
surrounded by policemen, were led a
half block 20 their car, where the
crowd again charged and were again
driven off. Part of the crowd fol-
lowed the auto and reserves to the
police station. A part remained
about the dead child.

FRUITER IS FIRED ON
VESSEL BRINGS
NEWS TO CHARLESTON.
Went to San Domingo for Cargo Of
Bananas and Was Fired Upon by
Troops of Republic.

With plates battered from rife ire
and one forbidding hole through the
six-inch wall of her steel deck house,
the United Fruit steamer Oregon,
Capt. Juel, which arrived in Charles
ton Monday with 16,6O0 bunches OF
bananas from Port Antonio, Jamai-
ca, brought with her an exciting tale
Of having been under heavy fire.
The Oregon is a Norwegian steam
er. According to the story of the
chief engineer the boat, after taking
a part cargo at Port Antonio, Jamai-
ca, discovered that there were not
enough punches at that port to fill
her. She then proceeded to Puerto
Plato, San Domingo. Anchoring of
the harbor ct that port, the Oregon
hoisted the signal for pilot. An
answering signal was hoisted to the
effect that the weather was too rough
for pilot to get aboard the frulter.
Bananas are perishable, and they
do not bear unnecessary delays. More
over, the water was quite calm. Capt.
Juel determined to try the passage
himself, and brought the Oregon safe
ly into the harbor.. He dropped an
chor, and prepared to make arrange
ments for completing the cargo Of
bananas.
: All was calm aboard the Oregon,
when of a sudden there came brisk
yolley of rife shots. Astounded, the
men aboard the fruiter leaped for
shelter, and they could hear the sin
| lister patter of bullets against the
plates as they hurried below decks to
safety. Before every one aboard the
Oregon could duck to shelter, how
ever, some strange things occurred.
Second Assistant Engineer Wurst
was sitting aft on barrel head calm
ly smoking his pipe. A stray bullet
knocked the pipe from his teeth and
the shock knocked the engineer from
his perch, it is stated. The barrel
on which he was sitting was near to
the aft companionway and Engineer
Wurst half tumbled, half fell down
the steps and into the shelter of the
hold. He was not injured, nor was
any one aboard the Oregon.
Steward Sorenson was opening the
ships ice box when the firing began.
The bullet which crashed through the
deck house also went through the
wall Of te ice box and into cake OF
ice, where it was imbedded when
found after the excitement. Capt.
Juel has the bullet as a souvenir OF
the occasion; it's from a -42 calibre
bennington. The shots were fired
while the fruiter was stern on to the
marksmen, and many Of the aft plates
of the Oregon are battered in conse-
quence.
The shots are believed to have been
fred by troops of President Bordas,
under command of Jose Puerez. It
is understood that the matter is being
taken up with the Norwegian authori-
ties. There were no passengers aboard
the Oregon at the time she was under
fire.

on Slick Gamblers.
A hearse, conveying an empty cas-
ket, followed by automobiles decked
in mourning, stopped in front of Will

tristy bunch of mourners entered.
Within ten minutes the mourners be-

More than a dozen pickets were
continually on duty about the place.
They had pushbuttons in fence posts.

E. H. BLAKE ON EDUCATION.

Editor The Press and Banner:
The world came to realize that the
bodies fmen should not be held in
slavery and where the individual fail
ed to free his slaves, governments did
it. This world has also realized that
the minds of men must not remain in
the slavery of illiteracy, and so far as
this freedom can be given by attend
ance at schools, the enlightened
tions and nearly all the states of this
union are removing the shackles that
bind the citizen to a life in which he
cannot figure up his earnings, read Of
the deeds Of his fellowmen and the
word Of his God.
From Maine to California, officials
in each state write that compulsory
education laws are advancing the
cause of education and meeting with
the approval of the people-often the
very people who fought such laws.
Hon. Payson Smith, Supt. Public
Schools Of the State of Maine, in let
ter of May 2Sth, says: 81 am positive
that the. progress of education in
Maine has been favored by the exist
ence Of a compulsory education law"
And what about California?
The State Superintendent replying
in letter of June 18th, says in part:
eyes, the schools have made much
greater progress under the compul-
sorry attendance law than they did be-
fore. In this State the theory is. that
we must educate every child. Then
there is one way to do this and that is
to see that every child attends school.
He may attend a private school or ne
may get his education at home
through private tutors. But he must;
get it. And we go further. We give
out the money on the attendance. the
district that keeps up a good attend
ance gets more money than 1t would
liz the attendance was low.-This
means that teachers and school Of
flcers and even the parents and chill
dren do all they can to see that the
children attend school" =.

full party when their charming young
daughters, Misses Sallie T. Lura and

pitality Of this occasion, and the gracious
cordiality Of the hostess and her lovely
daughters made each and every one feel

The brilliantly lighted house and varie-

Exposition Will be Held.

In response to telegraphic inquiry on
Aug. 18th, the following Night Letter from
Mr.. Chas. G. Moore, Prestdent.of the Pam
ND ss'..-sseiac International Exposition has
been received: s 3 !. ~
San Francisco, CAL, Aug. Is. 1914,
Answering your Telegram, the Expost-I
ton is in daily receipt Of many telegsans
from friends of the exposition, expressing
candid, carefully weighed opinions on the
advisability Of postponement. The major
ity Of our friends take the opposite view
It is pointed out, first, that the usual and
enormous tide of European travel from
America and South America would, IN lsa6,
under war conditions, be almost certainly
turned to California, and to the advantage
of the exposition. Second, the markets u
the Orient and South America, which Rave
been practically monopolized by English
and German manufacturers, are now w1de
open for American manufacturers, and ac--
cessible to exposition exhibits. Third, the
best expert opinion we are able to get at
present seems to support the theory tnat
the sufferings of Europe, in cemmerce and
finance, will react largely to the addyan-
tage Of this country, and that the effect on
the exposition attendance, II any, is likely
to be favorable.
Only five OF the thirty-seven foreign ma
tions that are preparing exhibits here are
concerned in this war, and we have reason
to believe that at least two Of these i've,
possibly all, will proceed with their origt.
nal plans. Even if all five should with.
draw, there would still remain thirty-tWo
among them-the countries that have,
planned the most elaborate showing.
We count on your earnest and Loyal 90;
operation and support in this decision, ,snn: ana:
believe the future consideration on your
part will convince you Of the propriety OF
our conclusions. '.- y
(Signed) Charles c. Moore,
President Of Exposition.

| position will be held, and held on time.
