COUNTRY GIRL ON THE BOWERY Delaware Mald Who Wanted to Go on the Stage Falls Into Hands of Two Young Men Who Were Very Attentive. Annie Rotto's ambition to go on the stage brought her from her country home In Delaware to New York and landed her on the Bowery yesterday, She began to have experiences right away, and to-day she was in Yorkville Court as complainant against Willlam Antlyinola, the young son of a wealthy baker at No, 15 Moosevelt street, and Louls Gusto, of No, 11 Fifth street, An- tivinokt was held on a charge of at- tempted assault and Gusto for disor- derly conduct, The git! was sent to Jay an engagement in the House of Detention, Annle had never been in New York. She took a car from the ferry yesterday afternoon and got off at the Bowery. Down in Delaware she had heard of the Bowery, She imagined that !t was the theatrical centre of the clty, It did not take a clairvoyant to see that Annie Botto was a stranger on the Bowery. Antivinola and Gusto had no diMeulty in making her uc- quaintance. It took tnem about a min ute to jearn that she had come to New York to go on the stage, und about an- other minute to persuade her that they were managers looking for good-look- ine girls to work at big wages She accompanied them to the Fifth atreet house, where Gusto has a furnished room, Soon after she en- tel one of the tenants ‘heard her scream. THe ran to the Hast Fitch Street Eiation and got a policeman, who ar- tived just in time to Botto “from Antlvinola, Gusto got away at the time, but returned to the house later and walked into the arms of a policeman who had been walting | for him, ——<—<a ENGLAND'S TRADE FIGURES SHOWGAINS LONDON, June 7—The May state- | ment of the Board of Trade shows in- | creases of $10,264,500 in imports and | $14,003,009 in exports.
