SUBMARINE HUNTER
GOING into ACTION

New York, Sept. 5.-Uncle Sans
submarine hunters are going into &C.
ton today. The navy's protectors
against underwater warcraft, con-
sisting mainly of motor boats OF
great speed, manned by volunteer
seamen who own the boats, will have
their first real test since their or
ganization, when they are put
through their PAGES under the eyes
of government officers. Maneuyers
which will end Sept. ~, will be held
off Boston, Newport, New York and
the Delaware capes. The senior ma
val officer present at each point will
be in charge. Probably the most in
teresting feature of the cruise will
come on the third day. and will con.
sist of maneuvers in mine sweeping
communications, defense of battle
ships and protection of harbors from
attacks by submarines. Groups will
leave their respective bases early in
the morning and will proceed in the
district to which they have been as
signed to search for mines. When
"a mine is located it will be removed
and the search will proceed until all
have been located and loaded into
the boats. On the fourth day the
patrol boats will assemble with the

FIFTY ARE IN
JURED IN R|0TING
Officers Armed With Shotguns Patrol
Ell Paso.-Street Cars
Wrecked.

| Ell Paso, Sept. 5.-RiOting, an out
growth of a strike OF street railway
men in progress here, followed La
Dor Day parade yesterday. The riot
ers attacked several street cars be-
ing operated by strikebreakers in the
downtown streets, wrecked the cars
and beat the trainmen. A dozen per-
sons were arrested and it is estimat-
ed that at least fifty were injured.
For a time it seemed as though
the municipal force, reinforced by
detachment of Texas Rangers,
would be powerless to quell the
mobs. Finally, however, after sew
eral hours of disturbance, in which
rioting took place on almost all of
the business streets and street rail-
way traffic had been suspended, the
mobs dispersed.
When traffic was resumed police
men armed with pistols and shot
guns and ordered to shoot anyone
interfering with the cars were de-
tailed to protect each crew.
Meanwhile all saloons in the city
were closed until further notice and
military authorities ordered all SOL
diers stationed in this district to
their camps.

This part of the United States fleet

Recently trials were held with the

STRANGE WOUND
FOUND ON PETIT
Bullet Hole in Wife Slayer's Arm
ends New Mystery to
Murder.

Chicago, H., Sept. 81. Maurice
Petit, former Cedar Rapids bank
teller, who killed his beautiful bride
of a month in a frenzy caused by
his subnormality, lay on his back
at the Bridewell hospital today while
a detective sitting at his side, took
down notes on his rambling CONVEX
|sation.
While the bride slayer was gradu-
ally beginning to understand that
his monstrous solution of the prob
lem that had been putting kinks in
his brain was after all, terrible
mistake, his physicians and the po-
lice were holding whispered confer
ences concerning a bullet hole per-
forating his left arm just above the
elbow, In this the police may find
a clew to a new theory in the strange
murder.
That's a bad wound you have
there" DR.. Thomas Shanahann told
the battered and broken murderer,
and asked, "How did you get it,"
81 don't remember" was Pettit's
answer, accompanied by weak
smile. "You see I was all mixed up
and I don't remember things very
WELL"
But the police are beginning to be-
lieve that this tell-tale wound is the
long sought for trace Of the life and
death struggle that must have TAX.

onslaught by shooting him through

WEIGH GIVEN DEC|-
SION IN Big FIGHT
Boxers in Clinch Two-Thirds o
Time and Neither is
Marked.

Colorado Springs, COL, Sept. s.
Freddie WEIGH retained his title of
champion lightweight pugilist of the
world yesterday after going the full
scheduled twenty rounds with Chal-
lenger Charlie White of Chicago.
Referee Billy Roche of New York
awarded Welsh the decision on
points.
AS the gong sounded at the close
OF the twentieth round, Roche stood
for several moments as If undecided.
He then reached out both hands to-
ward the boxers and many of the
spectators believed he was about to
award a draw. Suddenly Welsh
rushed over to Roche and placed his
glove in the referees hand and it
was raised aloft, while the official
appeared to be reaching for White.
The next instant jubilant friends
Of the champion swarmed into the
ring.
When Referee Roche announced
his decision in favor of Welsh, the
|ckallenger's adherents appeared for
the moment spellbound. Then be-
gan a fusillade of hundreds of cush-
ions, which were hurled from all d.
rections at the referee. He was rush
ed through the crowd by friends to
a waiting AUTOMOBILE. Guarded by
policemen, the vehicle was speeded
up an unfrequented road to the ho-
ltel, while hundreds of men and boys
rushed after it until distanced.
The collapse of a portion of the
bleacher seats at the ringside pre-
cipitated 200 spectators to the
ground and injured more than 100
of them, several seriously. At vari-
Gus hospitals here yesterday evening
lit was stated that all of the sixty
persons taken there Immediately af-
ter the accident would recover.
The crash came before the larger
part of the crowd had arrived. Po-
licemen, aided by members of the
fire department and special officers,
quickly placed the injured in auto
mobiles, and the boxing program was
not delayed.
