LITTLE VIOLENCE IN NEW YORK.
Because of Presence of Many Policemen
on Car Line.

New York, Sept. l3.-Interest in the
street railway strike centered to-day in
the meeting of the public service commits
sion at which the traction officials and
the strike leaders will make a formal
reply to the recommendations of the
commission for the immediate suspension
of the strike and the settlement of the
questions at issue by arbitration. The
leaders of both sides have both unofficial
ly announced their intention of rejecting
the commissions recommendation.
Only a few surface cars were oper.
ated to-day. Passengers were forced to
use the subways and the elevated with
the result that there was extreme con
gestion at the express stations. There
was little violence during the night due
to the fact that policemen were sta
toned on the roof tops where heretofore
attacks on the elevated trains had their
inception.
Mayor Mitchell is considering request
ing Governor Whitman to call special
session of the legislature to pass law
both sides to accept arbitra-
ton Another plan of the mayor is the
immediate granting Oh d irdncHlSe W tne
New York Bus Co., to operate through
certain streets.
The Interborough Rapid Transit Co.
and the New York Railways Co. later
formally rejected the commissions rec
and announced that they
would decline to hold further conferences
with union representatives but would
continue to operate their lines on the
present basis.

INTENDED VICTIM
WILL RECOVER
Miss Willets Crept Under
John Deyette's Office Win
dow and Fired Two Bullets
Through Window Glass,
Then Turned the Weapon
on Herself

Burlington, Sept, l3.-While laboring
under the demsion that her brother-in-
law John Deyette, was trying to defame
her character by spreading stories about
her, Miss Rose Willets crept up to a
window in Deyette's coal office on lower
Champlain street this morning and fred
two bullets at the man as he sat in a
chair reading a newspaper. After mere
~ wounding Deyette slightly, the girl
turned the weapon on herself and killed
herself on the spot.
The two Willets girls came TO Burling
ton from Detroit a few years ago and
solicited for booklet. Both were good.
looking and made rapid progress with
their work. Latterly John Dcyette fell
in love with one of them and married her
Mr.. and Mrs. Deyette live or Monroe
street, while Miss Willets resided with
her mother, Mrs. Rose ID. Willets. on
Main street There does not seem to
have been any ground for the girls de-
fusion that Deyette was defaming her
character Deyette is well known here,
where he is engaged in the coal business
However. the young lady, who was %
years of age, nursed the grievance and
finally became beside herself All that
saved Deyette from death was the fact
that the glass in the window of his of
flee slightly detected the course of the
bullets which the girl fired, one bullet
merely making flesh wound in one
cheek and the other grazing one leg and
then dropping down in Deyette's shoe.
Deyette will recover promptly, The girl
died Is minutes after turning the weap-
on on herself.

Numerous aerial engagements and

that on the Somme front French aero
planes fought seventeen engagements

brought down and four other enemy ma

Continuing, the statement says: Last

London Sept l3--Resuming their Of
fensive to the north of the Somme river
in France. the French forces have again
smashed the German line, captured front
line and other trenches, and taken about
l,5oo prisoners.
The new attacks coming after several
days of comparative calm in the region
where for weeks past violent fighting
had been in progress, were made on the
front from the town of Combles to the
river. So vicious was the thrust of the |
French that it required only half an hour
for them to overcome the resistance of |
the Germans and make themselves mas
ters of three and three quarter miles of |
first line trenches,
Later east and southeast of Combles
they seized additional trenches along the
Bethune- Peronne road, which leads
from Peronne northward through Ba-
paume and Arras to Bethune, placing
serious impediment in the way of the
Germans for the movement of their
transport from the north to Peronne and
making the French position north of
Peronne seemingly menacing one.
All along the Macedonia front the
heavy offensive of the entente allies con-
tinues. Bulgarian trenches on front of {
two miles and to depth of 500 yards
are reported by Paris to have been cap ,
tured by the French west of the Vardar ,
river near Maiadagh, which lies about
four miles south of the town of Giev-
eeli. On the Struma front the British,
q ided by the French, have made addition
al gains east of the river in the Lake
Takinos region. The army of the Teu- y
tonic allies is declared to have suffered
heavy casualties in the latter engage i
ment.
Unofficial reports are to the effect that h
the Bulgarians have evacuated the forts
at Kavala, on the Aegean sea, which q
