Stream From Hose Stops
Mans Terror Campaign
Firemen Fell New Yorker on
Rampage With Pistol in
BROOKLYN

Michael Sobo, who lives at 317 East
Fifty-sixth Street, Manhattan, started
out in the vicinity Of 1879 Norman Ave
nue., Brooklyn, yesterday, apparently
bent upon terrorizing the tenement
dwellers of that section. The cam.
paign of terrorization lasted no longer
however, than it took fremen of En-
CINE Company 238 to attach hose in
front of the engine house and relieve
the man of some Of his surplus en-
ergy by the force Of cold, strong
stream Of water.
Sobo, according to the police, had
passed through the Railways Of two
tenement houses, firing a revolver in
a reckless fashion. Pursued by ex-
cited occupants Of the houses, he ran
out the rear into Manhattan Avenue
where he continued his rampage UP
and down the street until the firemen
brought the hose into play. After he
had been knocked down several times
by the stream Sobo concluded he hac
enough. He was taken in charge by
Patrolman Felix Resch
In Bridge Plaza Court Magistrate
Short suspended sentence or a charge
of intoxication and held Soho in $500
bail for the grand jury on charge Of
violating the Sullivan law.

Gompers, "feels that his first duty as
President is to establish the authority
of the United States and the mainte-
nance of order"
Gompers Blames Detectives
In a statement dictated on leaving
the White House Mr. Gompers placed
the blame for bloodshed in West Vir-
ginia on "gunmen and detective agen-
cies who are really the cause of the
whole conflict now" Continuing he
said:
"The operators have refused to con-
form to the output Of the mines to
what has been and is the practice in
every other coal field in the United
States or in any other country. The
universal practice outside West Vir-
ginia is to weigh coal by the ton as to
the output of the men. Instead of this,
in these mines they have mine cars
which have capacity of from two to
five tons and they pay for the highest
and largest quantity of coal in these
cars. Each man receives $1.40 per car
load of FIVE tons, fully 80 to go per cent
less than would be payment in wages
under the tonnage system and the wage
award by the Federal ommission'

On the ground that the matter be-
longed in another part of the court,

of james J. Hines, independent candi-
date in the Democratic primaries Tor
nomination of Borough President OF
Manhattan, for a mandamus directing
the Board of Elections to inform him
Of his number on the oiiciaI primary
ballot.
1t is the contention of Mr.. Illness
supporters that the officials OF the
Board of Elections are withholding the
numbers to prevent him from inserting
his ballot number on his advertising.
When Justice Martin, OF the Supreme
Court granted an order directing the
Board Of Elections. to show cause why
Mr.. Hines should not have the relief ne
seeks the justice made it returnable IN
Part II, Special Term. Justice Guy
has been sitting in that part. Vincent
S. Lippe, counsel for Mr.. Hines, was
ready yesterday to argue the matter
before Justice Guy The latter said
there was an evident error In the order
of Justice Martin, as the proceeding
should have been made returnable IN
Part /, Special Term. Justice Guy said
he had no authority to hear the motion.
Mr.. Lippe said Mr.. Hines would suf-
fer great injury by the failure to have
the matter disposed of at once. The

MADISON, w. Va, Sept. (By The
Associated Press). - Detachments of
regular army troops to-day established
themselves in several points in the
region where for the last week firing
between armed men and deputy sheritfs
has been in progress, and success in
disarming some of those engaged in
the shooting was reported by military
authorities.

firing they had been sent to suppress
still continued throughout the day.
Military headquarters was cstab-
lishcd with 200 men and officers, and
posts were later stationed in Jeffery
and Sharples. Each post is made up Of
about 100 men and officers. Late to-
day the Sharples post reported to head
quarters, according to statement
given out here, that body of men
had been rounded up and disarmed.
From these forty-two rifles, eighteen
pistols and about 1000 rounds of am
800 other men who came down from
the mountains earlier in the day with,
out firearms or ammunition, were
placed upon a special train and trans
ported to destination which was not
revealed by the authorities, .but de-
scribed as "away from the disturbed
area
At Sharples. statement was made
to the military authorities by one of
the disarmed men that he knew of one
man killed in to-day's firing on Blair
Mountain. He added that about eight
others were wounded, but that his
| comrades had found it impossible to
remove these injured men because of

reported several times during the week
the principal object Of attack being
Merrimac.
Forty-Mile Line Defended

tire force of some six hundred men
along the forty miles of border, but
only once were they fired upon. They
were withdrawn this morning, and re-
ports reached Major Davis within an
hour afterward that the demonstration
against Merrimac had been resumed.
Major Davis said he did not know
whether Federal troops were to be sent
to Mingo, but he felt that with his
present force he could maintain order
in the county.
Along the Boone-Logan county line
where desultory fighting has been re-
ported during the last few days, every
thing was quiet, according to other re-
ports to the office of Governor Morgan

Hoover Plans Regulations
For Commercial Aviation


WASHINGTON, Sept. 3,--Investiga
tion into the probable scope of govern
inent regulation of commercial aviation
under proposed Legislation has been be-
gun by the Commerce Department, Sec
rotary Hoover said to-day.
Government supervision of air traf-
tic along the lines of rail and water
regal ation was recommended, he said,
by committee of experts of the War,
Navy and other departments to increase
the safety and more efficient develop
ment OF the new method Of transporta-
ton.
Enactment of enabling legislation,
Mr.. Hoover indicated, probably would
result in the creation of a bureau of
aviation charged with the enforcement
of the rules of air travel similarly to
the activities of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton in connection with water carriers.
