Passengers Have Narrow Escapes
as Attacks From Roofs

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Serious
violence marked the opening of the
second week of the traction strike
early today. Elevated trains on both
the Bast and West Sides were at
tacked with revolvers, bricks, bot
tlee and stones. Many passengers
had narrow escapes from beingz seri
ously injured, in one 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
sons in trains thrown into panic. In
every instance, however, the attack
ers succeeded in making their es
cape before the police could reach the
roofs of buildings from which mis
siles were thrown.
Efforts to resume surface car traf
fic on a larger scale than has been
attempted since the strike went into
effect were hampered tod®y by pieces
of wood and bits of metal placed in
the underground trolley slots by
sirike sympathizers. :
Ot One Hundred and Tenth street
and Lexington avenue iron hooks
were found wedged in the slot. Pleces
of wood were jammed in at Four
teenth street and Eighth avenue and
at Twenty-third street and Seventh
avenue.
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 ag trains packed to the Ilimit
passed by with closed doors. 1
The refusal of Union railway 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
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

Kaiser at His Game
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Sept. 15.—Arthur Ran
som, telegraphing to The Dally News
from Bucharest, says:
“The Germans have been beaten at
their own game.
“The 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 Roumanlan soldiers.
“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 Turtukal is of
no great importance. Its defense by a
handful of troops against the heav
lest 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 dootors. The
town was finally taken. The Bulga
rians massacred the soldiers and in
habitants alike.
