EMIL SENHOLZI, manufacturing furrier, Bond st. Established CREEDMOOR MARKSMAN SHOT IN LEG AT RANGE Bullet Came From a 12th Reglment Rifle; Who Fired It is a Mystery. ACCIDENT THEORY DOUBTED. Officers Shroud in Deep Secrecy Name of Man Responsible for Gun's Safe Keeping. What is believed to have been an cident, the Arst that 'has been attended by serious consequences in many years at Creedmoor, occurred during the target practice of the National Guard at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when Corporal W.

Whitman of the Twelfth Regiment, Manhattan, was shot through calf of the right leg by a bullet that was discharged from a rifle which had been taken out by a member of the same company. While it is still hoped that the injurles sustained by Whitman will not result In any permanent disability, there is some doubt 88 to whether his leg may not have to be amputated. The tact that the bullet was extracted through the means of an operation performed upon the field by Surgeon -C. Brown. the surgeon of Squadron C.

and that the of wounded man was promptly conveyed automobile to the Jamaica Hospital, after the operation, It is thought, will have a considerable effect in lessening this danger. Although it is known that the rifle from which the bullet was discharged had earlier in the day been in the possession of a member of Whitman's regiment, the man who had had it was one hundred and fifty yards away when the shooting occurred, and the, smoking rifle, the only one from which the shot could have been fired, was found lying on the. grouad about fifteen feet to the rear of Whitman when it was picked up immediately after the accident. The theory that is held by most of the spectators present at the time, as well AS by the militiamen engaged in target practice, is that' the rifle had been left upon the grounds, without the cartridge having been taken from it, and, was picked up by a bystander who, in exper: imenting with the weapon and thinking that it was unloaded, pulled the trigger without anticipating' that the gun would be discharged. However, a direct violation of the rules governing the field at Creedmoor la shown even in the explanation of the affair, a3 immediately following the firing of the targets the rifles are supposed to be emptied, and it should have been impossible for loaded rifle to remain unguarded upon the field.

Corporal Whitman had just finished Ar. Ing at target No. 34, at the 600-yard line, when the bullet entered his leg, and the man to whom the rifle is supposed to have belonged, but whose identity was not 'revealed, was coaching another man at the 500-yard line, a distance of about 150 yards across the field from Whitman. Surgeon Brown immedlately came to tho rellef of Whitman before the Injured man was dispatched to the hospital in the fast automobile of Kingsley. L.

Martin, one of the engineers of the Brooklyn Bridge and a lleutenant in the second division of the Second Naval Battalion. The physician cut away two 'Inches of the small bone of Whitman' leg and also extracted a handful of splinters of the shattered bone. As 800n 88 the wound had been dressed as well ag was possible under the circumstances Mr. Martin drove his car over the fleld and Whitman was placed in it and hurried at top speed to the hospital. name of the man in whose possession The successful effort to withhold the rifle should have been was a conspicuous feature of the shooting mystery, and there were some present who did not accept without reservation the accidental theory.

It is probable that the matter will be the subject of an official investigation before it is permitted to rest Anally, MR. ROOT HIMSELF AGAIN. Will Start on Important Mission -to Mexico on September 25. Secretary of State Elihu Root, and appearing in excellent health, will leave Muldoon's Sanitarium at White Plains, N. to after a stay of several weeks, during which he his enJoyed a world of out -door exercise combined with complete indoor rest and freedom from care.

The secretary will go first to his old home at Clinton, N. where he will remain a little more than a week. He plans to be in Washington by the 19th instant. His stay in the national capital will be very brief, however, as Mr. Root will leave for a trip through Mexico on the 25th.

He will the Mexican line at Laredo, where he will be met by President Diaz and -become his guest. Secretary Root will deliver speeches at several points in Mexico, it is expected, but as yet he has not been advised as to the details of his stay and entertainment In the Southern republic. Following the plan of his South American trip, Secretary Root will not prepare any' 'set speeches in advance, but will depend entirely upon extemporaneous effort, suiting his remarks as nearly as possible to the various occasions as they arise. The United States and Mexico have been working in accord for the past several years in an effort to straighten ou: the many Central American tangles which have called the armies of the several states constantly into conflict. The promIse of permanent peace now seems brighter than ever and this condition will undoubtedly be a cause for mutual congratulations between the Mexican chief executive and the American secretary of state.

Mr. Root's visit will but emphasize, it is said, the esteem in which President Roosevelt, the secretary personally and the American administration generally holds President Diaz. ITALIAN CUT IN FRAY. Charles Rowan, years old, an Italian weaver, of 680 Tompkins avenue, while in a saloon at Delmonico place and Tompking avenue, last evening, drinking with some countrymen, became involved in an argument.

He was removed to the German Hospital, where it was found that his condition was due to A lack of proper nourishment, Later he was transferred to the Kings County Hospital in a critical condition.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: After reading the article in to-night's Eagle concerning one Philip Dow, I feel called upon to state that I was told of his losing his position a couple of days ago. Also, that it was permissible to approach an omceholder such as. Mr. Dow was and give, him ten days notice in which to flop over to the opposing faction or lose his job. The party who gave me this interesting bit of information further stated that he WAS A member of this opposing faction, helped bring about the dismissal of 10 Mr.

Dow and seemed very proud of it. Now. I am not A politician but it I were I would, like Mr. Dow, stick to Mr. Sharkey.

The opposing faction (in my estimation), is not "on the square." Brooklyn, September 5, 1907. N. P. The tour Governor Hughes has been making of country fairs in New York is described as "triumphal," and it is said he' is "hailed everywhere as the next President of the United States." Perhaps, however, there may be contingencies even after New York and Ohio have triumphantly decided on what will suit them. This is a more or less triumphal country, with the triumphal habit likely to break out at times in unexpected quarters.St.

On the other hand Cavanagh might been killed a number of infuriated Italians when he broke through An Italian funeral procession in spite of protests.

He was motioned to halt until the procession passed, but this he refused to do and insisted in breaking through the paradera.

Cavanagh next seized a cart rung and swung this about his head and managed to hit several of the Italians. 'A riot was imminent when Policeman Travers, who was escortipg the paraders ran up. and assailed the 'Italians. He drove them from the vehicle which he mounted only. to be assailed by Cavanagh, who appeared blind with rage and made several desperate efforts to strike the policeman with his improvised club.

The Italians composed the Colediese Society.

She practically lived on the street for weeks, and when finally arrested, on Friday, was in a pitiable state--dirty, ragged and generally unkempt. She was so brazen as to shock the offcers at the police station, who aver that never before have they come across such a case. The girl was held yesterday by Judge Healy, at Far Rockaway, for examination in the court of Special Sessions.
