According to Milazzo, the conduc- ter, Clay slashed him across the face when a worthless transfer was re- fused. The negro then jumped from the running car and although pur- sued by several passengers and the raotorman, managed to escape to his home several blocks away, from which he soon reappeared with a rifle and opened fire on the crowd. Fortune Jaubert, aged seventy, a wholesale dry goods merchant, round- ed the street corner in an automobile accompanied by his wife and grand- dzughter just before the negro began to shoot. It was believed the first bullet fired by Clay struck the mer- ant. The others were wounded when Clay from behind a telephane pole fired into the crowd. The negro, although fired at by sev- cral policemen and watchmen, appar- ently escaped uninjured, taking his rifle with him.

PRUSSIAN ROADS PROSPER Receipts for Transportation of Freight and Passengers Reach Higher Fig- ures and Are Still Climbing. Berlin, Sept. 14, by wireless to Say- ville.—Receipts of the Prussian state railroads for the transportation of freight in the second year of the war exceeded by five per cent. the former high record, made in 1913.. The re- ceipts in 1915 were 1,754,000,000 marks, as compared with 1,509,000,- 000 marks in 1914 and 1,671,000,000 marks in 1913. Receipts for the transportation of passengers and freight in 1915 ex- ceeded those of the previous year by 11,000,000 marks. Thus far in the present year there has been further increase of more than five per cent. in the revenue from transportation of passengers and freight. The recovery in 1915 was due to re- organization of the economic life of the nation and to longer hauls necessi- tated by the blockade, particularly of coal. The present further develop- ment is ascribed to revival of indus- trial and commercial life made possi- ble by the employment in industries of women and of men under or over mili- tary age. MORE NT TO BORDER. Tennessee Guard Ordered to Report to General Funston. Washington, Sept. 14.—The Ten- nessee National Guard, encamped at Nashville, was ordered to the Mexi- can border today, by the war depart- ment.

DIMITRACOPULOS TO SEE FRIENDS FIRST Will Not Accept Post of Greek Premier Immediately ASKS KING FOR 48 HOURS Resignation of Zaimis Thought Due to Impatience of Those Who Favored Entering War With Allies—Entente Fleet Hastened Action. Athens, Sept. 13, 7:15 p. m., via London, Sept. 14, 7:26 & m.—(De- layed.)—M. Dimitracopulos has asked King Constantine to allow him forty- eight hours in which to consult his friends before deciding as to whether he will undertake the formation of a new cabinet. The former minister of Justice also wishes to sound the minis- ters of the entente before reaching a. decision. M. Dimitracopulos have declared that his acceptance of the premiership will only be made on the basis that he is given full power to control the national policy. He will is known to take whatever steps the present crisis calls for, even to the entry of Greece into the war. Zaimis’ Pridé Wounded. Athens, Tuesday, Sept..12, via Lon- don, Sept. 14, 12:45 p. m.—(Delayed) —Every effort to persuade Alexander Zaimis, the aged premier to remain in office was fruitless. His pride was wounded by the appearance of the al- lied fleet off Piracus at the very mo- ment when negotations had been be- war. The arrest of Austrians and Germans in Athens by French and British agents and the invasion of the French legation by ruffians who fired shots there, taken In conjunction with the continual internal discord in the face of a great national crisis, com- pletely discouraged the entire cab- inet. The result was not only to pre- cipitate the retirement of the Zaimis ministry but to bring to a standstill and possibly even to end all discussion of a departure from neutrality by Greece. “I hope the entente now sees where its policy of trying to force matters leads,” a prominent Greek offi with sympathies for the entente said to the Associated Press today. “The moral effect of Greece’s entry into the war with the allies unquestionably would have hcen a rtening of the war by many month Without a figure like Zaimis, detached from pol- itics, to conduct the negotiations there is scarcely a ghost of a chance that this can be arranged. God know: nobody in Greece has opposed entry into the war for the last fortnight, and if this country does not go in the responsibility must fall on those who are too impatient to awalt the end of legitimate discussion of details.” King Constantine, however much he may be annoyed by the delay in sct- entente, is seeking a premier who will hasten arrangements to depart from neutrality. Nicholas Dimitracopulos, who was minister of justice under Premier Ven- izelos but is no longer a supporter of Venizelos, was approached this after- noon with a proposal to form a min- istry along the lines of the desire of the king. layed by censor, was written before a despatch from the same correspon- dent which was received last night, announcing that M. Dimitracopulos had accepted the king’s invitation to form a cabinet.) | RIOTS ENDANGER AMERICANS Disturbances at Kavala Follow Sur- render of Last Greck Fort to Bul- garians—Harbor Cleared of Ships. Athens Wednesday London, Sept. 14, m.—The British legation today informed Gar- ret Droppers, the American minister, that the Greeks have surrendered to the Bulgarians the last of the forts defending the seaport of Kavala, in northeastern Greece. Several of the forts were occupied time ago by the Bulgarians. Warships of the entente allies have removed Greek soldiers to Thasos. Rioting at Kavala is reported, and it is said houses and shops have been pillaged. A number of Americans are endangered, as is property of Amer- ican tobacco companies to the amount of more than $2,000,000. No ships are permitted to remain in the harbor.

New York, Sept. 14.—Despite main- tenance of regular schedules on the subway and elevated lines of the In- terborough Rapid Transit company and the gradual restoration of surface lines, leaders of the striking street railway employes declared today that i they were far from being defeated. ey hinted that the danger of a mpathetic” strike is not yet over, IPollowing tion by the strikers the question of a sympathetic strike will be discussed Th at meetings of the central federated unions of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Strike leaders predict that resolutions | avoring a strike among trades allied with the street railway employes will be adopted. Whether the strike will actually take place, however, Will depend on the individual votes of the unions, it is asserted. Subway and ‘L’ Service Good. Traction officlals announced today that service in the subway and on the elevated roads was better than normal while service on most of the | street car lines was from 25 to 40 per cent. below normal. The railway companies assert that hundreds of their former employes have returned to their work. There was no disorder during the night, due to the vigilance of the po- lice, and the order of strike leaders to the men not to congregate on street corners and at car barns. Frequent delays were caused on the elevated the com_any claims, by strik- ers becoming involved in altercations with strike breaking guards. In or- der to stop the practice an order was enforced today prohibiting passengers from riding on platforms, Claim Tracks Were Greased. Five trolley cars came together in a series of rear-end collisions on the Westchester avenue line in the Bronx today and ten passengers were in- jured of whom one was seriously hur The accidents occurred t the foot of ews, who it is said were strike breakers, claimed that the rails had been greased with crude oll during the night so . that the brakes would not hold. No Settlement in View. Mayor Mitchel admitted that he had no plan which promised any set- tlement of the strike. Suggestions to grant a’franchise to a motor omnibus company or to ask the governor to call a special session of the legisla- ture to enact a compulsory arbitra- tion law, were rejected by the mayor. Officials of the transit companies persisted in their refusal to submit their side of the dispute to arbitra- tion and asserted that the service of the surface lines is being increased daily by the employment of strike breakers. Nevertheless, and subway lines and steam railroad transportation between Manhattan and Westchester continue greatly con- gested. Confident that they had available enough men to enable them to carry | through a successful siege against the | union, the New York Railways com- pany, operating many surface car lines, has dismissed the employment ncies which have been engaging strike breakers, and more than 1,000 men employed to take the places of the striliers have been discharged. The company officials said they had | enough men to operate the elevated and subway lines but not enough to | man all the surface cars. The night service on surface lines continued to be suspended. FOUR DEAD IN FIRE Score Narrowly Esc ])(“B(‘ing Burned Alive by Blaze in Salvation Army Building in Detroit. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 14.—Four men are dead and a score of others nar- : rowly escaped from a fire which swept the Salvation Army Industrial ing early today.

New York, Sept. 14.—The extraor- dinary rise in the stock market of the past fortnight, unequaled since last year's movement in “war brides,” at- tained wider and more impressive pro- portions today, the first hour’s trading of almost half a million shares being attended by gains of 1 to 3 points in Industrials, equipments, motors, oils and shares of almost every other de- scription with a 20 point advance in | Bethlehem Steel as 575 United States Steel w; the chief feature, rising to 106 1-2 in the first hour and exceeding its previous rec- ord by 8-4 of a point.

Rails were relatively inconspicuous, although Reading, Union Pacific and | New Haven were higher by 1 to 2 1-2 points. Profit taking was in such enormous volume during the forenoon as to effect reversals of 1 to 2 points from best prices of the opening. This was offset, however, by fresh buying, most of which seemed to originate from out of town sources. The character of the trading in- dicated an increase of public inter- est, although this was not seen in the investment group. POLICE PROTECT FURUSETIH. President of Seamen’s Union Threat- esed by Longshoremen. Seattle, Wash., Sept. 14.—A police | escort was necessary to see Andrew | Furuseth, president of the Interna- tional Seamen’s Union, safely from | the labor temple last night when a broke up in disorder. Furuseth, in a speech sympathizing with the San Francisco Longshore- men’s union in settling a strike there against the wishes of longshoremen at North Pacific ports, precipitated the disorder. HINMAN'S OPINIONS Attorney General | | | Makes Rulings for Treasurer Chamberlain on Branch Banks and Express Companies. Hartford, Sept. 14.—Attorney Gen- eral Hinman gave two opinions to State Treasurer Frederick S. Cham- berlain today in reply to questions asked by the ‘treasurer. The opin- | ions are of special interest to cities in | the state that may be considered cen- | ters of commercial and banking busi- ness. Treasurer Chamberlain’s first question refers to the scope of the | rights to avhich private bankers are | entitled. The treasurer asks if the | owner of such a bank is entitled “to establish and conduct business as a private bank in more than one place or town.”” Mr. Hinman /discusses the meaning of the term “bank” and says it is either applied to an association or corporation authorized to do a bank- ing husiness or to the office whero the busine is done. He says the statute has reference to the place of business rather than to the firm, per- son or corporation engaged in it. The attorney general was therefore of the opinion that the security which the law requires should be deposited in each office or place in which the busi- ness of a private bank is carried on. The next question refers to express companies which engage in the busi- ing and asks if the companies may appoint agents in places other than in those in-which they have estab- lished offices or places of business and if agents may receive and forward bond or security. The attorney eral replied that the principal is re- sponsible for the conduct of his agent. He points out that a person receiving money for forwarding is required to file a bond.

I.ong Branch, N. J., Sept. 14— President Wilson téday for the first time gave detailed consideration to his campaign for re-election. In the executive offices he went over reports from political leaders in various states and began mapping out his plans for the next two months.

As a result of the conferences it was indicated that greater attention would be paid to campaigns in Ore- gon, Utah and California, reports leading to the belief that Democratic prospects in those states are excellent. While the president will make no final plans for leaving here until fur- ther developments in the illness of his sister, Mrs. Annie E. Howe, sev- eral trips away from Shadow Lawn were discussed tentatively today. Mr. ‘Wilson will go by automobile on Sep- tember 26 to Princeton, N. J., to vote in the democratic primaries there.

There is little prospect that the jolnt commission will return to the formulation of a border protocol un- til the American members have reached a tentative agreement among themselves as to the wisest course to pursue. They will then present their ideas to their Mexican associates for general discussion. It was indicated today that ques- tions of real estate and other taxes in Mexico as they affect American prop- erty holders will be looked into by the joint commission when its ex- amination of the mining taxes has been completed. In the case of land taxes under Carranza decreds a puni- tive damage is assessed against lands lying idle, which American interests have complained to the stato depart- ment amounted to conflscation of their holdings. As in the case of mining taxes, Carranza officials have asserted that their purpose was to foster small operators and to compel the abangon- ment of large land holdings for spec- ulative purposes only.
