SHOTS AND BRICK
RAIN ON T. TRAIN
Woman's Scalp Torn Open
by Missile Hurled
from Roof.

Petty squabbles and small disturb
snces which hindered traffic through
out the city all day yesterday, ripened
late last night into serious trouble
which for a time threatened to disrupt
the service in the Third Avenue elevst-
ed. Strikers or strike sympathlzers'
intrenched behind the parapets OF ten
ements near the 106th Street station OF
that line, opened fire upon the trains
as they passed, with many bricks and
some bullets.
One woman's scalp was badly gsshed
when a stone drove in a window of the
car in which she was sitting, still other
windows were shattered, and at least
three shots we're fired at the trains.
Police of the East 1O4th Street sta
tion swarmed up to the roofs Of the
garrisoned buildings and drove of the
assailants.
The first attack was made upon
southbound train. 1t was in this that
Mrs. Mary Bradley, of SO East l2oth
Street. was wounded. A few minutes
later three flashes dsrted over the
edge OF a roof at 10th Street, as
northbound train passed, and the crack
Of revolver shots sent the police up
the steps of the tenement on the run
Whoever had fired had disappeared by
the time they reached the roof.
The next northbound cars were also
greeted by a shower of bricks, but
after this salvo, the police drove away
the snipers.
Women Plunge Downstairs.
During last nights rush hours the
.,s;r,eav leading TO the "L" road at
I4otb Street and Third Avenue, the
transfer point for the Il" and subway,
became choked with people. Mingled
there with the shouts and pieadings OF
noIicemen could be heard the cries OF
frightened and hslf-smothered children
and the screams of hysterical women.
Time and again policemen were all
but swept off their feet by the surglng
crowd, and while they rescued score
of women and children as they were
swept forward, two women went piuhs-
ing down the entire length OF the steep
stairway.
Mrs. Minnie Goldberg, forty-nine
years old. Of 1Ol5 College Avenue, when
picked up on the sidewalk below, was
unconscious from scalp wounds, lacera-
tions OF the face and internal injuries.
Mrs. Louise Hoehn, ffty-eight, of $50
East l69th Street, the other victim,
suffered numerous cuts and bruises.
To get the women 10 the platform for
treatment before removal 10 Lincoln
Hospital the policemen had TO use
their nightsticks on the crowd.
To combat the growing disorder OF
the men on strike, 500 patrolmen from
Richmond and Queens have been
ordered TO Manhattan TO support the
hard worked 5000 who arc trying 20
keep order here. These last made

restless life. The apostle in the text filings open the door and says there is a place of rest where there is no more sin Oh! the power of sin, the lives ruined the homes destroyed. But John says there Is a place without sin. Labor is unrest, but John says: There shall be no more seas" He meant there shall be no unrest. Life Is dangerous. We sometimes don't know what to do. The psalmist says: When I am afraid I will trust in thee" We will all be safe over there. We shall know our loved ones as they shall know us. We shall see them face to face.
 Christ says: Unless a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven There Is just one way and that Is through Christ"
 There were 14 additions to the mem- bership of the church yesterday by letter and by profession of faith.
 The pastor announced that the cele- brated Indian evangelist. 1Rev. Frank Hall Wright of Texas. will conduct evan- gelistic services at this church beginning next Sunday.
 The Rev. MT. Wright is said to be a speaker of eloquence and a man of ex- ceptionally magnetic personality. He is the son of a full blooded Choctaw In- dian, who spent many years working among the members of his tribe as a Presbyterian minister. The mother of the Rev. MT. Wright was a missionary. He is a graduate of one of the leading theological seminaries
 MT. Wright is also a gifted singer and his singing of gospel songs is one of the attractive features of his services

 The preacher said in part:
 Johns writing of the heavenly Jeru- salem in. this book was much like a teacher of a primary department With substance hard to find, or not visible to the human eye he must Illustrate the with by the portrayal of picture or heaven-a picture drawn through faith and under a conception manifested to him by the Holy Spirit. The sacred writer pictures heaven as place or rest rest from cares and anxiety, rest rom sorrow and sadness, rest from the storms of the life that now is.
 And there was no more sea" was written to the Jews, who were not sea-faring people, but who feared the turbulence of the waters, the storms the high dashing waves and the wrecks which overcame their craft and carried them down into depths of death. The writer sought to impress this promise as a stimulus to the Jew in his hope Tor eternal bliss.
 The preacher pictured heaven as a beautiful home of rest, a city with gates of pearl and streets of gold. home where the redeemed of the earth shall meet again and mingle with loved ones who have gone before picture drawn not from human sight. but by visions of faith.
 'How am I to reach that heavenly place." is the momentous question which engages the mind of the wayfarer, and by some will be there? and the an swer comes: By their fruits ye shall know them" "A life redeemed by the blood of Jesus will stand out"
