Passengers Have Narrow Escapes
as Attacks From Roofs
Continue. ‘
By L. V. B. RUCKER,
Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Serious
violence marked the opening of the
second week of the traction strike‘
lea,rly today. Elevated trains on both;
‘the East and West Sides were at-:
meked with revolvers, bricks, bot~l
tles and stones. Many passengers
had narrow escapes from being seri
ously injured, in oen instance a bullet
lodging in the woodwork of an ele
vated car a short distance from a
passenger’s head.
Windows were shattered and per
ns in trains thrown into panic. In
very instance, however, the attack
ers succeeded in making their es
cape before th polic could rach the
roofs of buildings from which mis
siles wer thrown.
Efforts to resume surface car traf
fic on a larger scale than has been
attempted since the strike went into
effect were hampered today by pieces
of wood and bits of metal placed in
the underground trolley slots by
strike sympathizers.
Ot One Hundred and Tenth street
and Lexington avenue iron hooks
wer found wedged in the slot. Pieces
of wood were jammed in at Four
teenth street and Eighth avenue and
at Twenty-third street and Seventh
lavenue.
' Traffic Congested.
Traffic on the subway and elevated
lines was normal early in the day,
although the congestion was marked
because of reduced service on the
surface lines. Hundreds crowded the
downtown platforms of the various
stations and many were left stand-
Ing as trains packed to the limit
passed by with closed doors.
The refusal of Union rallway offici
als to allow strikebreakers to choose
their own routes caused friction at
the West Farm barns. Several men
took off their uniforms and quit work,
admitting that they did not intend to
y work on “lean” runs, while fellow
strikebreakers waxed rich on busy
routes.
The public service commission to
day continued its probe into the
\causes of the strike on the Third Ave-
Jnue surface system, the hearing hav-
Ing recessed to give Louis Fridiger,
Attorney for the Carmen's Union, an
opportunity to confer with Organizer
Fitzgerald of the Amalgamated Asso
clation.

Everything in the world, almost,
happened to William Thomas, includ
ing being shot in the heel, which is
popularly supposed to be fatal to
persons of Willlam's race, color and
previous condition of sevitude. And
still Willilam is living—in a cell at
the police station, with a bullet-hole
through his right lung, two stab
wounds in the same organ, and the
aforesaid ghastly puncture of the
right heel.
Willlam killed his sweetheart,
Louise Wood, a little over a week
ago, and then attempted to destroy
himself. His efforts resulted in the
three wounds to his lungs. He was
taken to the Grady Hospital in a pre.
sumably dying condition.
Thursday night William was worse,
He was so near dead that they didn't
consider it needful to have a guard
set for him, although there was a
warrant out for his arrest, charging
murder,
William heard .about the warrant.
It galvanized William. William got
up out of that bed and went away
from there in his nightie. William
burglarized one house and Rot a suit
of clothes. He burglarized another
house and prooured a hat. And Wil
llam, when accosted by Officer Rob
erts at th ecorner of Auburn avenue
and Bell street, lit out from there
and was making the dust fly—was
stepping fast and far, when a bullet
from the officer's gun winged, or rath
er heeled him.
And now they don't know Just what

Congress, protruding from the sands
off the cutrance to Coos Bay, was all
that remained today to remind the
253 passengers and 170 crew that they
had narrowly escape avother Vol

experience, and some of them scat

With a dangerous fire raging be- |
low decks, Captain Cousins turned
the nose of the Congress tow.rd‘

race with death. Two miles from

was forced to halt and the passengers

The Congress and her cargo, owned

PARIS, Sept, 15.—Allied French,
Serbian and British troops have won
4 sweeping victory over the Bulga
rians on the Macedonian front, the
War Office announced today.
The Serbians routed the Bulgarians
on a front of nine miles and are now
in hot pursuit of the defeated enemy,
In their advance the Serbians have
occupled several important positions.
The entire right wing of the Bulga
rian army west of Lake Ostrovo ap
pears to have been erumpled up by
'(he smashing attack of the reorgan

On the Vardar front the British

attacks of the Britons, who swept for

The British captured Matohoukovo in
their first assault,

While their Serbian and English al

mile. They met with desperate re

line, 1,600 yards long, from the Bul

The lunge of the Serbian army
against the front of the Bulgarians,
their traditional enemies, was the
most spectacular phase of the general
offensive. The order to advance was
met with cheers, and in their first
rush the Serblans captured Gountche

/4*The Germans have been beaten at
v‘iolr own game.
k;?_"‘l’ho Roumanians, declaring war,
crossed the Carpathians in a single
night. Before the second night they
reached positions for which they had
calculated to fight. The Germans
themselves supplied the mobilization
wagons, for they had sent wagons to
Roumania to fetch grain. These re
turned laden with Roumanian soldfers,
“We passed many troop trains and
wagons from Essen and Bremen and
other German towns. The further ad
vance into Transylvania depends
largely upon the events on the south
ern front. The fall of Turtukai is of
no great importance. Its defense by a
handful of troops against the heav
fest odds of artillery is a glorious
page in the history of the Roumanian
army.
“When the troops retired from the
outer fortifications, they found Bul.
garian troops in the town, who tor
tured and murdered unarmed ambu
lance attendants and doctors. The
town was finally taken. The Bulga
rians massacred the soldiers and in
habitants alike.
“All Germans in Bucharest have
been Interned at the Grand Hotel,
All motors and horses have bdeen
requisitioned.” . ™
