Mrs. Grace Adams, about 20 years
old. of 641 East 136th street, alighted
from a southbound Eighth avenue sur
face car at Columbus Circle last night
shortly before o'clock and started to
push through the crowd around the
statue Of Christopher Columbus on her
way to Reisenweber's restaurant, at
Eighth avenue and Fifty eighth street,
where she is employed as clerk at
the cigar counter.
She had gone oniy few feet when
a man carrying an overcoat on his
arm stepped In front of her and began
slashing at her face with a razor. He
said nothing to her, so far as the police
have been able to learn: he just
stepped in front of her and swept the
razor half a dozen times across her
face. infiicting several deep gashes,
and once across her throat, making
deep cut in the side OF her neck.
The motion OF his arm and the cries
of the girl attracted several men and
they took up her shouts. Within a few
moments the crowd had reached more
than hundred, all of whom we're
milling about trying to find out what
was the trouble.
After she had been slashed few
times Mrs Adams dropped unconscious.
Several men standing near tried TO
seize her assailant, but he dropped his
overcoat and the razor and fled around
the statue. The crowd chased him. but
after encircling the statue he ran north
and lodged into the uptown entrance
of the subway station on Central Park
West. with a score or more men follow
ing him They lost him, however. and
the police believe he lodged to tho right

to the street again through the Circle

With the inaugu ration of the new

interest here centres around probable
diplomatic appointments, particularly
to the more important European posts
that must be filled Immediately.
Cabinet meeting will be called
early next week by President Harding.
Before that meeting. which may be
held on Tuesday. he will have gone
over with Secretary of State Hughes
the diplomatic situation in a more de-
tailed way than he was able TO con-
slider it when Mr.. Hughes talked with
him at st. Augustine
1t may be stated on good authority
that there will be no announcements
OF appointments to diplomatic posts
before President Harding has had time
to go over the whole situation and re-
view it az head OF the new Admins
tration.
He has made no commitments, all

Davis for the appointment Of an lmme-

necessity Of early and suitable appoint
