A shower Of glass which narrowly
missed the head of man standing
at Vincent avenue and East 9Th
street, shortly after 6 o'clock last
night, heralded what sounded to the
thousand or fifteen hundred persons
who quickly collected, like a titanic
struggle. In the middle of the street
lay big brass cuspidor which had
shattered the window through which
came the sound of crashing furniture,
accompanied by yells and groans.
Patrolman Gideon and Special Off
Ger Bolles showed through the crowd
and made their way up the stairs of
the Garfield building to room 200, oc-
cupied by Kamerer &, Benes, tailors,
where the battle was taking place.
AS they came down the corridor a
man with a big piece of glass in one
hand and "A pair of tailor's shears in
the other menaced them.
Near him was a litter of cloth,
broken furniture and glass. An ugly
wound gaped in his neck and at Pa
trolman Gideon's command he drop
ped his weapons. AS the officers
opened the door into the tailoring es-
tablishment the man collapsed and
was barely able to gasp his name,
Arthur j. Zeller.
They were chasing me with red
hot pokers and | came up here to
fight them OFF," whispered Zeller. He
was removed to the city hospital,
where surgeons said the wound in his
neck, inflicted with the shears, was
not serious. Police declared that
he attempted suicide.
Ieller, who is about twenty eight
Years old, slept at police headquarters
Sunday night and it is believed that
his home is in Mt. Vernon, O., from
which place he came to Cleveland
about five days ago. He said that
he was a glass cutter by trade.

Of The Fiscal Year Of The
Mt. Vernon Y. N. {. A.
Reports Given, Supper Ser
we'd And An Address By
John |. DOrSt
(By the Secretary.)

The Young Mems Christian Assoc
iation officially closed it's work for the
fiscal year ending May /, by banquet
ing its members and friends Monday
evening. 1t was certainly repre-
sentative group that gathered around
the tables. Men from all kinds of
work, representing all kinds of busi-
ness interests, men of all kinds of re-
ligious belief, Protestant and Catho-
lie, Jew and Gentle, bore testimony
OF their endorsement of the work by
their presence last evening.
The members of the Congregational
orchestra, with their usual good grace
and skill, livened the first part of the
evening by numerous selections, while
the ladies of the Church of Christ
served in very acceptable way the
fine menu.
1t was after this that the reports
we're given by the various chairmen
OF the committees. These reports
were interesting as they showed
those present the scope of efficiency
Of the work that the community is
supporting. Only one of these re-
ports was at all disappointing and
that was not so when it was known
that not single association in the
state had made record this year OF
ell current bills paid and the greater
number of them had not made as
good showing. The report of the
treasurer is attached below.
One of the most interesting reports
was that made by Mr. II. Morris upon
the life in the dormitory. Coming to
Mt. Vernon an entire stranger, OF
European parentage, his view was
likely to be very unbiased one as
well as an interesting one.
The address of the evening was de
livered by John l.. Dorst, general sec
retary of Springfield's association. He
| told his life story and experience in
the work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. This was done in sc
earnest and simple way that he
| easily held the attention to the very
last of all the men present. At the
finish he brought out the fact that the
| value of boy cannot be computed in
any degree at all in dollars and cents
| That the money invested in this as
! sociation and its work in betterine
the lives of the boys of the commun
! ity Is bringing a percentage of inter
est to an incalculable degree. The at
tention to the speaker during his ad
dress was its best endorsement of its
value to our association and the com
munity.

vantages that would accrue to the

tion might be saved.
