Gun Battle In Street
Causes Small Sized Panic

> New York, Dec. IA gun battle
between two hostile bandit gangs
brought hundreds to the street IN a
panic at forty-seventh street and
Broadway early today.
Scores of shots were exchanged by
the cambatants who raced about the
vicinity in automobiles. The break
ing of plate glass windows, mingling
with the rattle of guns and roar of
motor exhausts, awakened sleepers
for blocks.
Some one among the men and wo-
men who darted about the side walks
and halls in night clothing as the
bullets hummed perilously near put
in a riot call for police. When the
reserves arrived the bandits fled, tax
ing any of their numbers that might
have been wounded with them. Two
men, alleged to be gangsters, We're
captured. Two automobiles riddlcd
by bullets were discarded by the
thugs.
Orders for hospitals to promptly
report all gunshot wound cases were
ISSUED by police who believe several
men were hit in the fighting.

Of its widespread appeal. From pres

Never before has such an oppor-

perhaps, will the chance be given TO

That our own home people are going
to take advantage of The GaZette's
