The police and citizens who were witnesses to the entire occurrence say that there was no attack of any kind on the "special policemen" in the two touring cars and that the shooting was entirely without reason. Two men have been arrested for participating in the shooting, and they themselves told the police when pressed for an explanation, that one shot had been fired at the Muring cars from a house as they passed by in the street. Kver since the New York Taxlcab company has been trying to break the strike of its chauffeurs it has been using the old malt house at 511 West Fifty-seventh street, as a lodging house for Its strike breakers. Last night two large, stiver colored "school" taxicabs left the nialthouse, each containing half a strikebreaking chauffeurs and special pol ice.

Smith rarrlid the woman, after great difficulty out of the swamp. She said she had left her home for Mays Landing, taking a bypath to rut off distance.

She lost the path, but thought she was going all right, when kI.p struck the swamp. She tried to tlnd the path, but got further In the swamp, and had been there for some time before help came.

Ex-Senator's Son Refuses to Pay His Roulette Losses.

Los Angeles, Oct." 8. A roulette wheel operated in a fashluoable apartment house in the western district of the city, the fleecing of Chas. W. Clark, son of ex-Senator Clark of Montana, out of J.O.OUD, and the attempt of oillcials of the l'ollce Department to coerce hint into paying the money to tho ring of sharpers are features of a case which is to be investigated by City Prosecutor Wool-wine. According to Woolwine, Clark did not have a large sum of money with him, so the gamblers were compelled to wait until the end of the game for Clark to give them a check in settlement, liy the time Clark's losses reached $20,000, it Is said he came to the conclusion that the roulette wheel was not being operated honestly by the dealer.

When informed of the amount of his losses he refused to pay. The case of the rich young man's narrow escape from an alleged trap set for him would' not have figured prominently in the present Grand Jury investigation had it not been for developments after Clark had retired from the luxurious apartment in which he was lured in the hope that lie could be shorn. According to Prosecutor Woolwine Clark was harassed by the sharpers and by certain ollicials in the effort to make him pay the $20,000. It is said that he was even threatened with arrest.

that the long and severe and, In many localities, disastrous drought has been succeeded by ample rainfall, let us hark back to the gratifying circumstance that Pennington, save in horse power for manufacturing purposes, had ample water all the time, not only to drink, to cook with and to bathe In, but to sprinkle our lawns, our gardens and our streets indeed, to deluire our streets, as was the custom all summer, and while cautionary signals were hoisted all about us to economize In the use of water, no hint was given to us to use less than customary. While water was sold by peddlers In many localities at fivt aud teu cents the gallon, a huxter of the aqua pura would have met with scant patronage hen? even at a gift. It Is true that Lake Hancock was drawn upon to supplement the regular springs, but the lake at no timo showed any diminution of supply, because this sheet of water, relying little upon water shed, Is fed from the heurt of the old Green mountain range, than which no rock Bhod-purer liquid." If. on tho other hand, this lake was but a catch basin for the rain fall, let us remember that, the water drawn from It for village use is brought down the mountain side in an open gully for a distance of nearly two miles at a descent of fully a thousand feet before it is taken up in pipes, and it is said that though the lake were stocked with dead horses, the water would still be pure and wholesome when gathered into the main. Whether our people ever gave the matter thought may be of little consequence, but, with the late lamented A.

You heard me called a demagogue 12 years ago. You saw them bury me and you heard them i chant their songs over my grave and now they have to explain why it happened ihat I was not dead." With all the fervor that he could muster, William J. P.ryan, facing a vast assemblage in the Chautauqua Auditorium tonight, made this statement. At no time during the present campaign has he spoken so earnestly or with such vigor. His remark followed a bitter denunciation of Mr.

Taft for refusing to agree to a publica tion of campaign contributions before election. "No honest man and no jiol-lttcal party conducting an honest cam paign," he declared, "need be afraid of ihe light." Drawing largo cheering crowds all day In the course of his travels through the state, the democratic can rtldate, never in better form, hurled defiance at his opjonent8 and challenged them to meet his arguments. The keynote of his principal remarks here tonight was that republican policies meant disaster, while democratic policies meant prosperity. "'The democratic party," he said "Is absolutely necessary to restore prosperity. The republican party has had Its chance and it has We are now in the midst of a depression for which natural conditions furnish no excuses.

"If the democratic party wins, there will be an immediate deduction of the tariff which will satisfy the public demand and remove the tariff question from politics for a number years. A democratic victory means prosperity, prosperity to all the people, a prosperity that will be permanent. It means the remedying of abuses; until abuses are remedied there ran be no peace and the sooner abuses are remedied, the more easily can the remedy be applied." Mr. Bryan left tonight for Chicago.

A decree announcing tho union of Crete with Greece was published here last evening. Events leading up to the climax followed each other throughout the day with dramatic rapidity.

Mussulmans mlngl" ed with Christians freely and unmolested.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a great demonstration in favor of union with Greece occurred on the military review grounds. More than 10,000 people, one of the largest crowds ever seen here, gathered at the place. Speeches were made by various representatives, who declared that the peaceful political revolution which they had assembled to consummate was not directed against the powers, which had been the island's benefactors, but solely at proclaiming the Island's union with tho motherland. They called upon the Government to act henceforth in the name of the free kingdom of Greece. Ten thousand men thereupon marched, singing and shouting, to the various Consulates, leaving at each of these a written copy of the resolutions adopted.

Next they surged to the Governor's palace and lowered the flag of Crete, raising the Greek nag In Its place. With, incessant and wild cheering for the union the great procession made its way to the fortress, here also a Greek Dag was sent up to the top of a flagstaff, but the French troops insisted upon lowering it and unfurled the flag of Crete and those of the four protecting powers. This angered the populace, and for a time there was serious danger of disturbances, but the leaders final ly succeeded in reBtormguielii- Thousands of people from oixUytS" districts, most of them armed, are still pouring Into the town, filling the streets and cheering the union.
