At midnight. April "a, the German

German officers in charge OF the

examined as to their fitness Tor farm

chief complaint of those removed was
of the hardship due to separation from
their families and their inability TO

permit letters to be sent only through

Not Enough Food, Germans Say.
A German officer said the removals
were without a political motive, so far
as he knew. though the towns and dis
tricts from which persons were taken
had given considerable trouble, several
fires having occurred. Another officer
said the German authorities were cor

MOB MOTORMAN
WHO KILLED. GIRL
Crowd Overturned Car, to
Find Tiny Lily Was
on the Curb.

Mrs. Lily Giaratano, Of 3 Spring
Street, did not see the westbound
Spring Street car last night until 1t
was almost upon her. Then she
screamed and pushed Elizabeth, eight
years old, across the pavement out Of
danger. Just as the car hit her she
flung Lily, three years old, from her
arms. A moment later, when she
scrambled to her feet, badly bruised,
the smaller child could not be found.
Hes run over my baby" Mrs.
Giaratano shrieked, shaking her fists
in the face of the metorman. Little
Lily is under the car. She's killed."
Several things then happened in
quick succession. A score OF Italians
started for the mOtorman. In
moment there were hundred pushing
forward TO tear him apart. Another
crowd, attacked the car, and, heavlng
hard against it, pushed it over on its
side to free the pinneddown child. BY
the time this was accomplished re-
serves from the Mulberry Street sta
ton arrived. They fought hard, and
finally tore the motorman away from
his would-be lynchers.
Then some one happened to look on
the sidewalk.
Feet in the gutter, tiny Lily sat
weeping piteously. She had bumped
her head when her mother hurled her
to safety, and besides, all the noise had
frightened her terribly.
