there are some peculiarIies
about it and among them is a
brazing serpent mounted on top
of engine in, front which will
begin striking and jumping at the
first stroke of the engine and
continues until the machine starts
1t will then lie quietly as if
asleep. Mr.. Moss says he can run
the machine on half the fuel he

gregation as he had been called

them to rise and give him their
hand. We regret to give Bro.

One Man May Die Of injuries

New York, Oct. 23.-RiOting broke
out again last night around the Lexing-
ton theater, when, for the second time
this week. the Star Opera company
produced German opera over the pro-
test of veterans of the world war.
With several hundred policemen
posted around the theater, column
of soldiers, sailors, marines and
civilians, who marched from Times
square to the opera house were hust-
led back and dispersed.
Defeated, the party departed to get
reinforcements. A few minutes later
they reappeared headed by a motor
truck containing nearly two score
men.
The truck dashed through the police
lines and proceeded about a block be-
fore it was met by squad of mounted
police. The riders charged the truck.
Two occupants, soldier and sailor,
were injured, one so severely that the
ambulance surgeon expressed the
opinion he might die.
Excitement attending presentation
of the opera was not confined to the
streets. When the curtain was rung
up singers We're greeted with shower
of eggs. A young man who gave his
name as "John Doe" was arrested.
Rloting in the streets continued fol-
several hours. A crowd breaking into
milk store procured supply of bot
ties and engaged in vicious fight
with the police who We're pressed sc
hard that they We're forced to draw
their revolvers.
