WAR VETERAN,BLIND.
FEARS KIN OF WIFE.
Refuses to Leave Ship Until
Dock Has Been Searched
for His Enemies.
BRINGS BRIDE WITH HIM
Meets Girl in Italy, Marries
Her Against Fathers Will,
and Is Stabbed.

Salvatore Filippo of Erie, Pa. who Is
blind because three machine gun bullets
went through his head during the fight
Ing in the Argonne Forest, landed on
Pier of the Bush Terminals yesterday
from the steamship Argentina of the
Soculich Line, but he would not set foot
on the dock until customs officers had
searched 1t to see il any of the former
soldiers enemies were waiting for him.
Filippo told them that his father-in-law
had already stabbed him and left him
for dead. and that he feared another at
tempt would be made to kill him.
Filippo, who said that he served in the
American army as a Sergeant of the
10th Infantry. Twenty-eighth Division,
brought with him his seventeen-yea
bride. who was Isabella Bruna of Lu-
cido. Italy. He told the customs off,
GERS the tale of his wooing, and he con-
vinced them that In winning his bride
and bringing her to the United States
he was even more heroic and careless
of danger than when he achieved the
things that earned him a Croix dc
Guerre from the French Government
and citations from his own commanding
General.
hippo Sdlu tIldI he was IclcdStQ liobi
an army hospital about year and a
half ago and went to italy with his
mother. who wanted to die in the old
country. There he met the girl, and.
although he has never seen her face, he
fell in love with her and she with him.
But even though Filippo. with his al
lowance of $3.50 from the United States
Government. was fairly we'll to do ac-
cording to Italian standards, the father
Of the girl did not look with favor upon
his suit and did everything that he could
to prevent the marriage. Filippo and
his sweetheart were married neverthe-
less, and according to his story her
father invaded their room on their we'd
ding night. stabbed F'ilippo and left him
for dead and carried away his daughter
by force.
Filippo said that he was month In
the hospital and then wandered blindly
about that district of Italy before he
was able to find his bride. and with his
life continuously threatened II he did
not give her up. But he did find her
and he managed to smuggle her aboard
the ship without her father knowing
about 1t. He Is afraid. however, that
the elder man may know on what ship
they left Italy. and that was the reason
he asked that the dock be searched be-
fore he and his bride landed. He said
that after a few days In New York he
would return to Erie.

Ger the law. and to pay a fine OF $500

the county jail to begin his sentence and
when visited by a reporter he ragged
against the law which die not permit
Finn to be released on bail and which
made a man of his standing go to jail
without the benefit of jury trial.
"And that is not all.'' he said. II have

is hell of country"
Katz was defended by Robert H Me-
Carter of Newark He pleaded not
guilty to the charge. which accused him
of trying to transport 1872 cases of
whiskey from a schooner lying at the
fish factory near Atlantic City to Cape
May on the night Of June II. But after

the State had produced sufficient evil

as the counter testimony was put under
way. II not only saved Felsch, but 1t
prevented the State by legal technicality
from recalling David Zeiser, one Of the
alleged gamblers. for additional cross
examination.
Although he was unable to bring Zeiser
himself back for further inquisition. Mr..
German succeeded in throwing con-
fusion about the defendants alibi.

September 8. and from September 10 to
October 6. David Zeiser paid both the
accounts" Schwind said.
Can you tell whether David Zeiser
actually occupied his room?' Mr.. Cor
man asked.
NO." schwind answered. II can

A second round in the tilt between
attorneys over the testimony OF A. NJ
Fromberg, st. Louis lawyer. who is
representing Carl Fork, came when
attorneys for the State called Alfred
s. Austrian as its first witness in re-
buttal.
The defence had offered Mr. From
berg as an impeaching witness against
Harry Redmon East st. Louis. who
had implicated Fork as one of the
string OF gamblers. The State brought
Austrian back to the witness stand
for his third appearance for the pur-
pose of iinpeaching Fromberg.
On the stand yesterday Fromberg
testified that while he was In Arnold
Rothstein's office In Chicago Austrian
had characterized Harry s. kedmon,

itor. as a ''blackguard gambler" and

BALD HEADS IN TUG
OF HAIR WITH BOBS
Women Accept Challenge Of
Club Members for Hirsute
Debate.

Instead of beginning with a preamble
setting forth what reasons, IL any, exist
for bald headed men saying anything,
the Bald Head Club Of Greenwich, Conn.
issued a peremptory challenge last night
to the bobbed haired women Of that COM
munity to appear at the clubs next
meeting and offer what justification, IL
any. exists for their wearing their hair
the way they do.
1t may indicate some touch of depre-
cation and reticence in John Rode
meyer. president of the club, that he
does not state the date upon which the
meeting Is to be held. although possibly
he is like many bald headed men. so
filled with the spirit Of self confidence
that he imagines n meeting of bald
portance that the date of II must be
known nationally. His name, ut all
events. was signed to the challenge
which was sent out. AS one Of the club
members expressed the state of Johns
mind last night:
John proposes to fight 1t out on this
line let the chips fall where they may"
AS the women bobbed and unbobbed
of that part Of Connecticut see II, the
challenge is. after all. confession by
the bald men that their badness Is the
thing that Is poisoning their lives II
this were not so. the women contend,
these men would not care who had a
hair cut and who did not. But having
no hair of their own they endure the
same suffering, when they sec some one
with bobbed hair who could have II long.
as a penniless man on a freezing night
when he gazes In at banquet and sees
enough go to waste to keep him a year.
So the women have not met his chal-
lcnge with contumely. Merely when the
meeting Is held they will go there and
say what they have to say and. they i'm
agine. put him In his place.

RUSH no EUROPE THIS YEAR 4
SAID TO BE LESS THAN LAST
Steamship Officials Assert That While More Ships Are
in Commission Than During Preceding Summer,
Travel Has Not Reached High Mark.

Despite the fact that many big pas
senger carrying ships left port for Eu-
rope last month and this month with
every berth taken. the rush to Europe
this year does not seem to officials Of
the big steamship companies to be as
great as IL was last year.
There is no unanimity among the
steamship men as to whether the actual
number of voyagers eastward bouSd
was greater during June and July this
year than last, but the exodus does not
appear to them to be quite 80 great
One reason for this is revealed by the
fact that there was a decided shortage
Of tonnage for passenger carrying last
year. Many ships last year were being
built, or were being reconditioned. and
at least two big lines were having severe
labor troubles which tied up their ves-
sells. This shortage last year is best In
dicated by the following totals OF pas
senger ships sailing from New York.

FUSIONIST FIGHTING
DISGUSTS LOCKWOOD
Continued iron, First Page.

Robert e. Lewis, Charles e. Heydt. Rob-
ert Oppenheim and William Chilvers.
Mr.. Woodward expressed the belief that
Manhattan should 'go to the bat" with
Curran, that 1t was conceded he would
make the best Mayor and there was
little reason to believe he would not be
as strong In the primaries as Lockwood.
Others spoke along the same line.
Mr. Koenig said, however. the Brook
lyn leaders ought to be the best judge
of the situation there. Last year almost
half Of the Republican primary vote was
polled In Brooklyn, and 1t was essential
that the Republican-coalition ticket
should be able to carry Brooklyn In the
primaries. 1t was, Of course important
to have united party back Of the
Brooklyn candidate, but Jacob A. Liv-
ingston had pledged his word to Lock-
wood and It did not seem possible he
would go back on that.
It was agreed, however, that 1t would
be better to have some more definite as
surance from Mr.. Livingston. That will
be left to Senator Calder and F. j. III.
Kracke to get. 1t is quite likely he will
be asked to attend the meeting of the
steering COMMITTEES on Tuesday and there
Mr.. Kracke did not communicate with
Mr.. Livingston yesterday. but did have
a long talk with Senator Lockwood.
Livingston Answers Price.
what answer did you get when you
asked Mr.. Livingston what the Brooklyn
organiza ton would do with several cam
didates for the Mayoralty nomination in
the field?' was a question put to Mr..
Price. M
We'll, he told me they would all get
a pretty good vote In that case"
There were some sharp passages at
arms at the meeting of fifteen members
Of the coalition committee, held behind
closed doors. but Mr. Price refused to
discuss what happened. He said there
would be another conference on Monday
night lust before the meeting of the full
committee to which report would be
made. They did take vote on some
things, but the situation was much the
same as II had been.
Mr.. Price didn't think compromise
candidate would be necessary but a sit
uation might arise to require II. He
was still OF the opinion that other than
Brooklyn man could carry the pri-
maries. There was some talk of the in
dependent Democrats suggested as pos
sibIe candidates for President of the
Board Of Aldermen-Nathan Hirsch.
