Dr. W. Spencer Carpenter of the Bridge street A. M. E. church, Brookiyn. Because of Dr. Carpenter's attacks on vice and gamblers he became the night of the second attempt to kill him. The attackers, however, barély escaped with their own liv ] preacher fought them up alley beside his church and the last seen of the vice agents they were disappearing over a fence scape the bullets from the man’s gun. Carpenter sat yesterday 1t 182 Duffield street, with a bandage around his forehead, his slashed up raincoat lying on a chair close by, several empty cartridge shells on the table and “the rascal” —as he calls his revolver—lying under a white handkerchief and bulging up the linen in a fashion that would never be noticed. Groups looking members of the congregation were streaming in to inquiré how he felt after his bat- tle with the “razor swingers,” as he ! called them. | A little bit mussed up,” said the | minister, “but T am not going to let these vice agents and their gang run me out of Brooklyn. I will remain here until my time is up and that is a little more than three years away, They cannot frighten me. 1 faced death on the battlefield in the Span- ish-American war and they cannot make me stop my sermens against sambling and other things that are wrong. Decent People With Him, He Says. “The decent people in this whole community—the white folks as well as the negroes—are behind me and are indignant at the assaults. If the time has come when the church can- not stand up against vice then it is time to close up the churches. But just as soon as [ get feeling all right again T will be back in’the pulpit— and I will hit harder than ever. “You know,” the preacher ' con- tinued, as he exhibited a rock that had been banged against his head last November and which is still re- tained as a souvenir, “this is the second time they have been after me. This is what they tried to get me with before. It all started around Thanksgiving Day. when I announced that I would preach a series of ser- mons against vice.” From the stories of the police. Dr. Carpenter did a pretty good job on Saturday night. He went to his church just after dark to get a book. He was alone, although he had been warned by the police not to travel about alone. As he was coming from the church vestibule he wam set upon by two men. The minister overcame the initial handicap of darkness and two against one with brawny fists he said. he had not used cince he got out of the army. Three Shots Fired By Preacher. He knocked one man- down and the second. after slashing the preacher’s raincoat half a dozen times, fled. Dr. Carpenter hurried to get out his revolver, but with his raincoat slashed and flapping he fumbled for a few seconds before “the rascal” got into action. The second man. who had scrambled to | his feet and ran. was just disappear- | ing over | hand a to equanimity but object Saturday in his the back fence when three ! shots from the old revolver that had gone through the Spanish-American ' war went crashing after him. The preacher believes one of the bullets did good work, ‘“for they found some blood spots on the .fence this morning and also a razor on the walk near the vestibule <door.” = Dr. Carpenter, who served in the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry during the Spanish-American war, said he | had not used a gun since those days, nor had he used his fists. He said that he did not fear any one molest- ing his wife or two children and tha he would go about as if nothing h: nl‘ 1mppenpd Bl carry “T will always ’ with me.” Alexandra lodge, N St. George, will hold iness meeting Wednesday evening in Turner hall.

D., March 15.—North Dakota faces the unique situation of a presidential preference primary on Tuesday, March 16, with but one candidate entered. Senator Hiram W. Johnson stands alone in the field. Intra-party delegation contests, pivoting about the non-partisan lea- gue, constitute the chief barbed wire entanglements on the voters’ battle- field. Major Gen. Wood and Governor Frank O. Lowden of Tllinois, réfrained from filing nominations in this state after a second republican state con- vention has voted that delegates to the national convention should go un- instructed. y William Jennings Bryan withdrew his name as democratic candidate, leaving the California senator a chal- lenger without opposition. The primary is to elect for cach party a national committeeman, five presidential electors and ten national convention delegates. Tor national committeeman the re- publicans have two candidates and the democrats two: for presidential electors, republicans 14, democrats 10; vou Like gest! for national delegates, republicans 22, ‘democrats 20..
