APACHES FIRE
ON BDY SCOOTS
-r*
One Was Seriously Wounded
and Many Others Hurt —Old-
est Lad Was 18 Years Old.
Paris.—One was serlousiy wounded
auJ many others hurt slightly in a
battle here between a patrol of
French Boy Scouts (Eclairuers) and
a big gang of the ruffians called Apa
ches.
The Scouts were returning from a
visit to the Bourget Memorial in
honor of the soldiers who fell in the
war of 1870. It was about eight in
the evening and night had fallen.
They were fifty strong marching
along to music of bugles and drums.
The youngest was 11 and the oldest
18 years old.
A halt was called in a lane when
suddenly a shower of stones was hurl
ed at the boys by the /.paches fhom
they had encountered in the march
earlier in the day. The alert was
sounded and tjie Boy Scouts rushed
to the fray brandishing their staves.
The desperadoes then fiered their re
volvers at the boys and one a bugler,
was wounded in the groin. Five of
the lads hung on pluckily to the burly
ruffian who seemed to be the leader
and belabored him with their scout
poles until he wrenched himself free
and fled.
Desperados.
Half a dozen other desperados were
overcome by sheer force of numbers
but as the Apaches received rein
forcements, the scout master deem
ed it prudent to order a retreat.
Meanwhile the gendarmerie, arrived
to cover the Scouts who retired still
under fire by the Apaches. The ruf
fians finally fled before the police.
A roll call of the Scouts was taken
after the battle at the police station.
Several scouts had bruised heads and
cut faces but with the exception of
the bugler, who was shot, there were
no serious injuries.
The trophies of war captured by
the boys were a dozen caps, a ‘kun
ckle-duster,’ a waistcoat, three red
mufflers and two revolvers. It was
a famous victory.
Third of New Black Sea
Dreadnaughts, Ekaterina
11, to Soon Be Launched
Odessa The third of the new Black
Sea Dreadnoughts, the Ekaterina 11,
will be lauched at Nikolaieff on June
E. The two Dreadnoughts previously
launched are the Imperatrista Marie
and the Alexander 111. A fourth and
additional Dreadnought to be called
the Ivan Gronzi, (Ivan the Terrible)
will be laid down on the slip to be
vacated by the Ekaterina 11. At least
two years will elapse between the
launching and commissioning of these
new battle-cruisers.
The destroyers and submarines in
cluded in the Nikolaieff program are
already completed; the program at the
Bugport consists of four battle-cruis
ers, six destroyers, two armored cruis
ers, six submarines and a gigantic
floating dock, which will probably be
the largest in the world, and is being
constructed to carry a vessel of 40,000
tons, at a cost of $2,000,000.
The new dreadnoughts wdll be armed
with 12 inch guns, and it is pointed
out that the two warships acquired
by Turkey, one by purchase from the
Brazilian government, and the other
completing at the Els wick ward of
Armstrong, will be armed respectively
with 13 inch and 15 inch guns. In the
event therefore, of an armed collision
between Russia and Turkey, the lat
ter would have a decided superiority
in the longer range of the guns of the
two Dreadnoughts she will very short -
tly possess. It is not Russia, but
Greece, however, who for the moment
is anxiously evereised at the immed
iate prospect of Turkey's possession of
those two formidable battle cruisers.
Naturalization Bill and
the Imperial Government
London.—The Imperial Govern
ment has found itself in a rather em
barrassing position In connection
with the naturalization bill. Under
an agreement made at the last Colo
nial conterence. the naturalization
laws in the varoius parts of the em-
I ire were to be so changed that a
man naturalized 1n one of the Do
minions should he recognized as a
British subject either in the United
Kingdom or the other Dominions. It
was agreed that uniform laws on this
point should be passed, but the Cana
dians Australians and New Zealan
ders insisted that a clause should be
inserted which would enable them to
exclude Asiatics or any undesirables,
even though they had taken out nab
uralization papers In some other part
of the empire. In settlement of this
point it was finally agreed that an
alien mast have, as a consideration
of natuaW,nation, "an adequate knowl
edge of the English language."
The Canadian and Australian par
liaments have passed the bill with
this clause, and the measure has al
so passed the House of Lords and
was awaiting consideration In the
House of Commons, when the Jewish
organization in London brought up a
protest that the clause making “an
adequate knowledge of the English
language" necessary would operate to
the prejudice of large bodies of de
sirable Jews. Their request that this
provision be left out was heeded by
the Imperial Parliament, and the
v/hole question of who should be ad
mitted or refused, was left to the
Home Olflce authorities. The clause
stands, however, in the Canadian and
Australian legislation, so the origi
nal agreement for uniform laws ar
p'-ar for the time w»«. m. least, to
be defeated.

ANNUAL JUNE FURNITURE SALE
TOMORROW begins our grand Annual Mid-Season Clearance Sale of House Furnishings. Past experience lias taught us that it is “bad business” to carry

ly one third, and nearly everything else in the house 10 to 20 per cent.
