FHAD-CAUGHT THE MAN CHEATING AT DICE. Roughs Had Key of House and \, Lay in Wait in Dark Hallway, ‘Beating Victim Unmercifully and‘Also Robbing Him. John. Hogan, a young man, twenty years old, the sole support of his wid- owed mother and two brothers, with whom he lived at No. 233 Willis avenue, the Bronx, is dying in the Lincoln Hos- pital as the result of a brutal attack mede vpon him in the hallway of his home as he returned from work to-day. Tho thugs who beat and robbed young Hogan are members of a gang whose leader was thrashed by Hogan Sunday night when the fellow was cheating a number of young boys in a game of oraps. John Hogan 1s all that a gon and brother could be, and those who know him in the neighborhood of his home have none but words of praise to speak of him. He has been employed for a number of years by the Harlem News Company and is an active member of thé Holy Name Soclety of St. Joseph's Church, near his home. For many months Hogan has been the object of scorn of the members of @' gang of roughs who live in his neigh- Dorhood, but because of his remarkable physical strength fow have ever cared to do more than taunt him at a safe distance. ‘This gang is led by Mickey Carney, who has gained no little notoriety in Harlem from his connection with the “Growler Gang.” The police practically broke up that ang and Carney went up to the Bronx and associated himself mith another band of toughs. Doys Crap Game. On Sunday evening Hogan heard tist @ number of small boys wero being flesced in a building where © crap game wes going on. He entered the place, ang found Carney and a number of wociates playing craps with a score or more boys of half their age. The ging told him to get out of the place, but he i thetr threats, and finally, when {he sew that Carney was openly cheat- \ing in the game, he acoused him of it. , Carney resented the accusation and a Might followed, in which, despite his reputation as @ slugger, he was badly eaten, As he slunk away after the Gght he said: “It you think you're going to come jwour goodness over us you've got an- ‘other guess. Some fine night you'll find yourself down an’ out, an’ don't you forget 1t." ‘Other members of the gang made similar threats and were only deforred from executing them by fear of the police and Hogan's many friends, The young man sald nothing about these threats until last night when he went to work. He then sald to his mother: ‘I'm afraid of that gang. They may give it to me to-night.” His mother advised him to arm him- eelf, but he replied that ho thought he could take care of himself and that he would avoid dark corners and narrow streets.

As he placed the key in the front door there was not a person astir in the nelghbortiood, He slowly opened the door and en- tered the dark hallway. He had taken ut a fow steps when two men jumped trom the shadow of the hall and:at- tacked him with clubs. He attempted to beat them off, when a third man came up behind him and struck him to the floor with a sand bag or black jack. The young man continued his struggle with his assailants until he was finally eaten into, unconsciousness. He lay bleeding In the hallway for an hour be- fore h{é elghteen-year-old brother Mar- tin found him. None in the house had heard any nolse of a struggle. The three thugs must have had a key to the door of the house, for after they left Hogan lying on the floor they went out and locked the door after them, Before leaving thelr victim, however, they robbed hin: of $12, his pay, that he was bringing hom to his mother. The pocketbook, torn ard ripped in the hasta of the robbers, was found in the lower hallway of the house. The door to this hallway was also locked, 20 the robbers must have had a key to that Couldn't Recognize A % Young Hogan was carried by his brother to his room, He recovered con- solousness long enough to tell the de- tails of the assault and describe his as- sailants as two short men and a tall man.

One of The Evening World reporters got shaved to-day. ‘This in itself + not so very impor- tant, but the fact that he was one of the first to have a barber's attention under the new regulations of the State Board of Examiners 1s worthy of note. Formerly when the reporter tad lots of time to kill a shave took about elght minutes, When he had a hurry assign- ment he could skip out of the torture chair in four minutes or less. To-day It took just seventeen minutes.. So much for the new regulations, They will commend themselves to the crank on hygeine, but not to the man in a hunry. ‘As the reporter slid into the chair in a Park Row “tonsorial parlor’ he re- marked ‘Shave, please." Francesco Georgev, the attendant, took a peek at a list of rules he had pasted up bde- side the mirror und then sat down. “Now I washed my hands after I got through with the last man," the re- porter heard the man cogitating; “so, must I wash them again? I have washed my hands with soap and hot water at least forty-eight times to-day and they're getting sore." Just the na man with @ blue cap looked in at the door nnd Francesco dashed to the hot water. “I'll bet that's an inspector,’ he mur- mured, ‘so Ill be on the safe side, There's Rule No. 1." Observed Rule No, 2. Then he washed out the general cup with hot water and got ready for his part of the ordeal. Rule No, 2 had been observed. Looking again for the printed rule for guidance, Frencesco sterilized the brush and proceeded to lather the victim's face. Carefully stopping the razor with loud nolse—per! in anticipation of a fee—he started in, only to stop sud- denly, with & “Hully gee!" and run to the hot water faucet and sterilize the izor. r, veeT almost forgot that," he explained as he started In to carve the reporters face, ut the stropping usually kills any germs that may be on the razor.

A mother found out what a change of food can do for a whole family, from the nursing baby to the adults, in this way: “Twice during the sum- mer months my baby was taken vio- lently ill and was very slow getting over the attacks. His former diet of cow's milk alone ceased to agreo with him, so I combined it with an expensive infant’s food, but he soon became very much constipated. “Then I shifted to Grape-Nuts food and found that this was just what baby needed, adding it to his milk after softening in hot water, Baby has thrived upon this food and is now healthy and strong and chubby as any mother could which you know 1s saying a great deal. “It did not take me long to find out that a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream is just what is needed by the tired, nervous mother, and I have also proved to my own satisfaction that when the children are old enough to chew Grape-Nuts it is far better for thom than oatmeal or any other mushy foods, for it develops their teeth and helps their digestion and their minds seem much brighter and more active, too, “Truly here is a wonderful food and one for tho entire family.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, Ot a seer 0. in cach package for a copy the famous little book, “The Road a ot to am, . thoroug!

By the way, the lather was wiped from the razor on a plece df torn-up news- paper, which was originally intended for the uplifting and enlightenment of the people rather than such a debased use. There is no ordinance proaibiting this, and printer's ink is poison, too. “Too-a vad no ac to-day,” Mr. Barber cortirued as he ploughed along.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 1.—-The Porte has notified Minister Leish- man that five arrests have been made at Beirut in connection with the shoot-| ing which led to the report that William C. Magelssen, the United States Vice and Deputy Consul there, had been assassinated. The Turkish officials continue to insist that ro attempt was made on) the Vice-Consu!’s life, and they reassert that the whole story originated in a feu-dejoie fired on the occasion of a native marriage and in accordance | with custom. Mr. Leishman, however, refuses to accopt such an explanation without conclusive proof that the judicial investigation continues. The attempt to burn the American College at Kharput occurred five weeks ago and, apparently, was the work of an individual who considered he had a grievance against the college authoritics. When Mr. Leishman was informed of the attempt he demanded that the| Porte protect the American institution, and in consequence of his represen- | tatione, instructions were sent to the authorities at Kharput to try in the] regular courts te carges against fifiy Armenians accused of trafficking in} arms und engaging In other seditious acts. Among the accused is Prof. Tenekedjian, of the American College, whose treatment in prison pending his trial was also ordered to be im- proved, Mr. Leishman {s pressing for a definite settlement of a number of mat- ters on which agreements were reached with the Turkish authorities last year, but which, in spite of frequent promises on the part of the Porte, have never been ¢xecuted. Diplomatic circles here generally approve of the energetic action of the United States, which, it {s pointed out, is amply justified by the bad faith of Turkey, and it is felt here that tne appearance of the United States war- ships in Turkish waters wil! lead to the {mmediate settlement of the pending disputes. — + + CRUISERS SIGHTED ON THE RUN TO TURKISH WATERS.
