t —— E Y | | As a result of the shooting at the Brooklyn Bridge last night by Italfans yho had been taking the places of the striking New Haven freight handlers ction may be taken to-day by District- Attorney Jerome to tndict certain offi- clals of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad's marine department. Five of the Italians who were arrested had new pistoly on them. These were Smith & Wesson revolvers of an inex- pbnaive kind, but the fact that they were:new and that each man seemed) to have one led to an investigation. ‘The men when questioned sald that the pistols were furnished to them by their bosses at the Faff River and Stonington piers, in order that they might protect themselves if attacked by strikers, When a brick was shied at them last night they did use them, | with the result that Park Row took 4, #0 the atmosphere of a Western bad ‘| townein about a minute.

I wish to see you alone a moment," said Mrs. Darrow to the woman, who was possibly thirty-five years old and of dashing beauty. The woman flushed, saw Mrs. Darrow’s badge of office and aid: “Certainly, where shall we go?” Mrs. Darrow took her into a private room and there told her she would ha to submit to a search.

Miller was asked about this, he sald: Advertising for Men. “Ot course, we arb. advertising for more men. We want a reserve if we can get it, and owing to the conges- tion due to the first few days of the strike we have a great deal of work now, and we will be only too glad to add ‘to it. “Furthermore, I want to say that we will protect the men who come to us. .Not one of those who have taken the laces of the strikers, be he competent for incompetent, will be dismissed now. There Is a tendency in some quarters to blame those Italians for the row at the bridge last night.

Two negroes, West Soiomon, of No. 215 West Bixty- first street, and John Thompson, of No, 241 West Sixtieth street, were assaulted as they were on the way to work ut the New Haven pier. Their assailanis, Michae!

She soon found .fa- vor with her countrymen in New York. Ruggiero fell in love with her, and on Monday last they were made hua- band and wife by a civil ceremony. As both were devout Roman Catho- lics ‘they desired to have a church cere- mony and called upon the Rev, Father Bernadino Polizzo, the pastor of the Chureh of the Most Holy Bicod, to ar- range for the publishing of the bans in the church. Father Pollazo urged Yhem not to hurry the wedding, and they agreed to walt a few wecks be- fore having the ceremony performed.

MEN AND WOMEN SHOT IN ALOT Policeman Trying to Disperse Crowd of Negroes in Front of Dance Hall on West Side Is Badly Beaten. In-a riot between a score of negroes and the police of the West Sixty-eighth street station early to-day a woman who was asieep in her apartments was shot twice by flying bullets, a policeman was beaten and badly hurt and one negro rioter was shot and badly injured. The riot occurred in front of Camp- bell’s dance hall, at No. 236 West Sixty- second street, a resort which is run for negroes, and which has given the police 80 much trouble in the past few mont! that it is now known as the “San Juan" section of the city. Extra police have been placed on patrol through the neigh- borhood, but nightly there are fights and hold-ups and innocent citiens are assaulted. Paseing through West Sixty-second street Policeman Frank McLaughlin, of the West Sixty-elghth, street station, came upon a gang of twenty or more nogroes standing in front of the hail, singing, cursing, fighting occasionally and making the neighborhood ring with their noise. “Move on,” commanded McLaughlin, and the men dispersed with mumbling threats, Five minutes later McLaughlin re- turned. Two men lingered in front of the dance hall. One of them, who proved later to be John W. Patterson, of No. 26 West Sixty-second street, according to the policeman, seized him by the waist, pinioning both arms to his std Harlea Cop Into Mortar Bed. The other negro took the policeman’s club from him and dealt him a violent blow on the head. McLaughlin was hurled into a mortar bed, Patterson on top of him, The policeman, halt stunned, managed to struggle loose, He blew his whistle for help and the call was responded to by Policemen Brady, Gerhart and Becker. Then camo a shower of bricks, clubs and mis- siles from the roofs of surrounding houses. This was followed by pistol shots and bullets whiszed by tie neads of the police. Patterson, now desperate, raised a brick to bring it down on the head ot Policeman McLaughlin, when he fell with @ bullet in his right side. Found Woman Shot The reserves from the West Sixty- eighth street station came upon the scune while the fight continued. Now and then one of the policemen would fire at a figure on the roof, Then at the command the police broke into the houses and ran to che roofs, The negroes had concealed themselves. None could be found. In searehing through the apartments at No, 42 the police heard groaning on the second floor, ‘The door was forced, and lying on a bed in the front room was Sarah Lewis, a negro woman, with two bullet wounds in her: body, one in the left shoulder dnd the other in the left side of the neck.

Hendricks Stricken with Apoplexy, and His Young Daughter, Whom He Was to Meet, Sees His Body on the Floor. : There was a pathetic scene in the Christopher street ferry-house to-day when Almia Hendricks, the elghteen- year-old daughter of Henry H. Hen- dricks, one of the wealthiest and best- known metal men in this country, re- turning from school at Morristown, N. J., for a visit to her parents, and full of enthusiasm at the prospect of meeting her father on this side of the river, found him dead on the floor of the ferry-house, a group of strangers around him.
