Five Expelled Socialists Win Again at Polls sion Candidates Make a Poor Showing, as Repub? licans and Democrats Stay ?\way From Polling Places > Disorder at Booths ?illoting Unusually Light, but Gives the Ousted Men Overwhelming Majorities 'The entire Socialist delegati< ., ?vhich wits ousted from the last ses? sion of the Assembly by Speaker ?haddeus C. Sweet, was re?lected at the special ?lections held here yester '"Vhile the vote in each of the five ^?tricts was considerably smaller than V ?; year. t!?e Socialists won over their tk?.*sio:i opponents by considerably larg? er majorities. ' The. small vote for the fusion candi? entes proved the statements made by , ^enublican and Democratic leaders in ??^ districts that the ram. and file1 ?ii the two major parties would not fro to the polls a< n protest against the ouster of last winter. Socialist Vote Falls. Off The Socialist vote in the five dis ?'icts vas only half of what itjwas a ear ?*go, yet four of them won by ?najorities in excess of 1,000 and a iifth had a majority of more than GOO. The small Socialist vote was a sur? f-vise. In these five districts more than 1,200 Socialists were added to the So- j ciaiist strength by legalized coloniz ing?moving Socialists i'rtim other dis tricts into the five where the special i elections were being held. I A year ago the vote for the Social- ' ists in these five districts wa* ?28,460, Yesterday it was but 17,060, a falling | off of 10,800, or nearly 38 per cent. i Another surprise yesterday occurred in the 19th Assembly District, Brook- j lyn, where a special election was or-; riered because of the death of Assem- I blyman John Damico, Republican. There the Democrats elected Benjamin C. Klingman by the narrow plurality of. 75. The Republican candidate was Francis X. Giaccone. His vote was | 1,580. The Socialist candidate, Nat | Rubin, polled but 1,304. Klingman polled 1,655. As in the other five dis? tricts, the vote in the 19th was about half what it was a year ago. The elections yesterday were devoifT of disorder of any kind. Several poll? ing places in the Bronx failed to open at 6 o'clock as the law requires. Some of the Socialists carried their com? plaints to the Board of Elections, say? ing that they believed it part of a plot to prevent their followers from voting. John R. Voorhis, president of the board, at once requested Police Com? missioner Enright to instruct the po? licemen on duty at the polling places to see that all who were in line at 5 o'clock were permitted to cast their ballots. The Socialists had -written to Gov? ernor Smith and to other officials that they anticipated frauds, and asked that they be afforded protection. As a re? sult of their appeal the Honest Ballot Association placed special watchers in every polling booth \n addition to those maintained by the political organiza? tions.

Saturday, Sept. 18. 7:34 p. m. Sunday. Sept. 19, 7:33 p. m. Inquiries for the best road to Phila? delphia, regardless of length of trip, bring out that at present the preferred way is through Staten Island to Perth Amboy and thence over the recently repaired bridge to South Amboy. From there to Keyport and Freehold to Lakewood is the first stage. Beyond Lakewood to Camden, the motorist goes by way of ?New Egypt and Mount Holly. This road is 109 miles long, about five mile? longer than the way through ?New Brunswick, Penns Neck and Trenton. The latter road is rough and in poor condition. Except for the possibility of rain making bad the stretch of gravel between Lake wood and Camden, the longer road has all. the better of it as far as road con? ditions are concerned. The Pennsylvania State Highway De? partment reports a couple of detours <>n roads nei.r the New York State Hoe. Between Mifflinsburg and Hartle ton on the Milford-New York Stato line road and between Hallstead and New Milford between Montrose and this state, toe highways are under repair. With agitation being made in ? num? ber of places to accomplish this end, it i? more than likely that legislation will be, introduced and passed at Albany this .winter to compel the licensing of all operators of motor vehicles. At present licenses are re? quired only of motorists in greater New York. France Honor?

Soldier Bandit Is Held | Without Bail as Slayer Van Reed Shows No Emotion When Arraigned for Murder of 34th Street Tailor Harry Van Reed, the soldier bandit who Wednesday entered the tailor shop of Max Rabinowitz at 233 West Thirty- , fourth Street and, after failing to rob the place, shot and -killed Rabinowitz and seriously wounded his wife, Bmma, : was held without bail yesterday on a charge of murder. Emotionless and apparently interest? ed only in the legal proceedings accom? panying his arraignment, he said he was thirty-six years old and lived at j 52 St. Nicholas Avenue. While he was in West Side Court Magistrate Tobias received word that Mrs. Rabinowitz's condition was un? changed and that possibility of her re? covering was slight. Assistant District Attorney Hennis, of the Homicide Bureau, told the court that he would present the evidence to the grand jury to-day, and expected an indictment by to-night. ???--o One Killed, 20 Hurt As Runaway Trolley Hits Tree at Ithaca Members of Cornell Football Squad in Fatal Collision; Motcrman Loses Control of Car Going Up Sleep Hill ITHACA, N. Y., Sept. 16.?One man was, killed and twenty persons were injured, three perhaps fatally, this af? ternoon, when a runaway streetcar laden with passengers, many of whom were members of the Cqrnell football ??quad on thir way to practice, crashed into a tree after running down hill for four blocks. The dead man is J. C. Berger, of Springville, N. Y. One of the most seriously injured is A. G. Nosek, of Cleveland, a candidate for the Cornell football eleven. His in? juries are internal. The other two whose injuries the physicians say may be fatal are Berger's wife, who has severe spinal injuries, and Mrs. Mary Moe, of this city, whose skull was fractured when she jumped. The car got out of control as It was ascending the steep Eddy Street grada and had just reached the Eddy Street ?gate to the university grounds, when, according to the motorman, something snapped and the car began to back down the grade. After it had run four blocks, gather? ing momentum as it descended, the car jumped the track and crashed into a tree, a few feet short of a sixty-foot embankment. The impact split the car half its iength and threw the passengers in all directions. Some persons jumped as soon as the car began to run away. The motorman, who stuck to his post. Buffered several fractured ribs and a broken leg. Cars Stoned by Strike Mobs In Brooklyn Two Attacks Are Made and Several Persons Injured; Police Scatter Crowds and Arrest Two Men Strikers Jeer Benefit Pay Help Is Demanded From Gompers as Union Offers $5 to Married Men Only Crowds of strikers or their sympa ' thizers attacked trolley cars in Brook? lyn yesterday for the first time since the early days of ' the strike. Two cars were attacked, both in the Wil liamsburg section. Nearly 2,000 police who hitherto have been on strike duty were called yesterday to Ihe wrecked Wall Street district. Several hundred persons, most of whom were throwing stones, bricks or bottles, brought a Nostrand Avenue car, to a stop at Park Avenue and thronged about it while the motorman and con? ductor sought shelter inside. The siege was kept up until six cars had ; been stalled, all of which were tar? gets for the mob's missiles. Patrolmen Bearens and Gleeson I seized three of the attackers and stood guard over them with drawn revolvers. This aroused the crowd to a more angry pitch and jeers and missiles were being directed at the patrolmen when the \ reserves from the Vernon Avenue po- ' lice station came up on the run and dispersed the crowd. The prisoners said they were Joseph and James Fanigleiti, of 23?3 East ?Fifteenth Street, Brooklyn, and-Joseph Venterello, of 804 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn. None of them was on strike. Joseph Fanigleiti and Joseph Venterello were charged with disorderly conduct and James Fanigleiti with malicious 1 mischief. A Union Avenue car became a target I for stones and brickbats at Union and j Driggs avenues. Louis Levenroth, the. ? motorman, fell beneath the hail of ? missiles, and the crowd surged about the car, threatening to lynch him and the conductor. Reserves from the Greenpoint and Bedford Avenue police stations dispersed the mob. Levenroth was able to proceed with his car after an ambulance surgeon had patched him up. About 2,000 B. R. T. strikers attended a meeting in Brooklyn Labor Llceum, Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, and cheered when James Sheridan, chair? man of the meeting, directed them to form in line for the payment of a "strike benefit." The din was redoubled and reversed in tone, however, when the men discov | ered that the maximum payment was only $5, and that only married men were entitled to receive that. SeVeral flung down the $5 bill offered them, saying in disgusted accents that they would be ashamed to take such a sum home to their wives. About 1,600, how? ever, waited until they had pocketed the money to express their disappoint? ment. P. J. Shea, vice-president of the union, who was standing in the front of the hall, was surrounded by clamor? ous strikers, who shouted inquiries as to why Samuel Gompers didn't help them. Mr. Shea's only response was: "What can I do?" The B. R. T. reported to the Public Service Commission that its subway and elevated service was 81 per cent normal yesterday. Two hundred and ten trains, composed of 1,073 cars, were in operation, an increase of seven trains over Wednesday's figures. The 796 surface cars in operation were seventy-seven more than were in ser? vice Wednesday. Seven surface lines were in operation last night and night service will be started on another to? night. The Wilson Avenue line which will be operated to-day will be the fifty-second of its sixty-seven surface lines the B. R. T. has put into service since the strike began. In spite of the abnormal call made on the Police Department by the Wall Street explosion, patrolmen were on guard throughout the day on the trol? ley lines and" subways in Brooklyn. Officials of the B. R. T. said the company had recruited a permanent force, exclusive of strike breakers, which numbered 4,600. Three hundred and thirty-six strikers returned to work Wednesday, it wa3 said, and about 400 'yesterday. In all about 2,700 strikers have returned. - i i... Refuses to Play Poker With Strangers; Stabbed Shopkeeper Fleet? and Is Pur? sued; Others Shoot One and Capture Another Suspect Three men, one of them more than i six feet tall, entered Philip Gordon's candy shop at 127 Forsyth Street about ; 2-30 o'clock yesterday morning and in vitcd him to join them in a game of poker. He refused, he said, and the three set upon him, one of them stab- ! bing the shopkeeper in the chest. Heedless of his wound, Gordon broke j away and ran to Herman Zeller's tea room at 97 Forsyth Street, in front of which several men were sitting. One of them interrupted Gordon to tell him he was stabbed. At sight of the blood Gordon fell senseless. The three men had pursued him and ' came up at this point, causing those ' seated outside the tea room to take hasty refuge inside. Mase Renner, of I 190 Forsyth Street, one of those seated : inside, ran out, however, on learning) of the attack on Gordon and grappled i with a tall man he met at the door. The other two ran and were pursued ; by the group, which a moment before had fled from them. In the chaBe one of the pursuers fired five shots from a revolver and Matthew Collins, of 242 I East Eighty-fourth Street, who was i i umring ahead of the crowd, fell with a bullet in his groin. Renner's prisoner said he was Tobias Levine, of 221 Division Street. He was i locked up at the Clinton Street police ; station, charged with felonious assault ' and attempted robbery. Collins, who ?

Burgess When Fox or Wolf attempts a grin His teeth he cannot keep within,. ?Peter Rabbit. -?- ^ Just seeing Peter Rabbit had made Peter's little son the most homesick little Rabbit in all the Great World. There he was a prisoner in Farmer Brown's h?n yard. To be sure, it was a nice big yard for so email a Rabbit, and until Peter had appeared and talked to him from the outside he had not ' been, unhappy. In fact, he hadn't i thought much about the matter. But , that visit from his father had made l him understand just what it means to j be a prisoner, und he longed for home ! and the dear Old Briar-patch so that i his heart ached. ! From far down on the Green Mead? ows toward the dear Old 'Briar-patch j the great voice of Bowser the Hound j came to him as he crouched in the box which was now his home in a corner of the hen yard. Bowser's voice grew fainter and fainter. Finally the little Rabbit could not hear it at all. For the time being he forgot his own per? sonal affairs in a new anxiety. lie was worried now about his father who, you know, was Peter Rabbit. It was Peter whom Bowser had been chasing. The little Rabbit came out of the box and hopped over to the wire fence. He got just as close to it as he could. Then he sat up to listen. It seemed to him that he could hear better sitting up. But there was no longer any sound of Bows&r's great voice. Tho little Rabbit looked up at the Btars and wished that they could tell him what had happened down there on the Green ?Meadows. They must know, for they could look down and see all things be? low. Had Bowser caught Peter Rab ! bit, or had Peter reached the dear Old ! Briar-patch? It would fee the most j dreadful thing that ever was if his ' father, Peter Rabbit, had lost his life. I The little Rabbit swallowed very hard, indeed, and two big tears rolled down his cheeks. "If anything has happened to him it will be all my fault," he sobbed. "Bow? ser the Hound would not have found him if he hadn't come up here to see me.. Oh, why, why did I ever run i away?" , "Well, well, well!" exclaimed a sharp ! voice, so close that the little Rabbit ? jumped and ran a few steps before I even looking to see who the speaker might be. "Well, well, well! If here isn't a little cry-baby!" Just outside that wire fence sat ; Reddy Fox, and he was grinning as he | looked in through the wire netting. There was such a hungry look in Red ! dy's eyes that the little Rabbit ahiv ; ered. Then it came over him that he ? was safe, and it was that wire netting i that made him safe. Not even the dear ' Old Briar-patch was quite so safe a place as that hen yard. A great glad? ness that he was inside it, Instead of outside It, filled him, and he winked away the tears. He even hopped a lit? tle nearer the fence and made a face at Reddy Fox. Reddy merely grinned more broadly than before. You see, he knew exactly how that little Rabbit felt. Just tuen a low growl caused Reddy to jump just as the little Rabbit had jumped when Reddy had first spoken Reddy snarled and backed away. Still snarling, he turned and trotted away, and Old Man Coyote took his place close to the wire fence and looked through it at the little Rabbit. "So here is the young runaway for whom we have been looking," said he, and tried to make his voice sound pleasant. "Too bad! Too bad! If only I had found you this wouldn't have happened. It is a dreadful thing to be a prisoner. 1 know, for I was one once. Too bad! Too bad!" Aguin the little Rabbit made a face. "It isn't too bad at all," he declared. "It is a great deal better to be a pris? oner in Farmer Brown's hen yard than to be in your stomach, Old Man Coy? ote, so don't waste any pity on me." Old Man Coyote grinned. "That de? pends on the point of view," said he. "Now, I would much rather have you in my stomr.ch than see you a prisoner in this hen yard. But perhaps that will come later." Ho grinned again and trotted away in the darkness. Copyright, 1920. by T. W.
