SCARED BY ANGRY RATTLER
Snake in Bellevue Resents Visit
or's Leaning Upon It.
A young- man who called on the chief
clerk at Bellevue Hospital yesterday and
rested his elbows on the clerk's desk as he
began to make an inquiry of some sort or
other received a shock that left him in a
dazed condition for some time.
"<Jot back:' shouted the clerk,
"Look out for the snake""' shouted the
messenger of the office, who caught the
young man by his coat and yanked him
half across the room.
A hissing, squirming rattlesnake moved
on top of the desk, rearing its vicious head
and looking for the rude creature who had
dared to press heavily upon its coils. Its
forked tongue darted in and out until llc-
Guinness, 1!" messenger, lapped it en the
head with a long and heavy rod.
The snake belongs to Charles Ranich, of
Ko. S3 Ist street, who made a pet of it.
Kanich was l;t;»"n by It a week ago, when
he rushed to Bellev There they hustled
him to the Rockefeller Institute, where
Professor liuray, the Japanese specialist
In snake poisons and their effects, took him
in hand, administered some serum and sent
him bark to Bellevue.
Ranich yielded jo •■■- serum treatment,
and was able to be about in the ward in
.■« few days, but Professor liuray decided
yesterday that he wanted to -• sboae
serum material from Ranich 1 pet. Ac
cordingly Ranich had his pet brought to
th? hospital, and took it to the clerk's of
lii 1 ' to be sent to Professor liuray. There
fore it was that the snake rested on top
of the chief clerk's desk.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. MONDAY, AUGUST I, 1010.
PRIEST DENOUNCES GANGS
Militant Father Raywood Warns
"Tanner Smith Terrors."
WILL INVOKE MAYOR'S AID
Says Anti- Clubbing Order Pre
vents Police from Stopping
Violence.
Denouncing the gang of thugs which far
some time has terrorized his pariah, the
Rev. J. F. Raywood. the nged but robust
pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of
the Guardian Angel, in West tad street, be
tween Ninth and Tenth avenues, unbur
dened bis mind in no uncertain tPrmj yes
terday. lie had announced a sermon on
"Gangs and Gang Leaders," but decided to
postpone any utterance from the pulpit.
He asserted, however, that he fully in
tended to wage a campaign against pre
vailing conditions.
The gang which has caused Father Ray
wood to deliver this ultimatum Is known
as the "Tanner Smith Terrors," and for
several months has infested the district in
which the Church of the Guardian Angel
is situated.
"Several days ago," said the priest. "I
appealed lo one of my parishioners, who is
a business man and an honored member of
the community. This man has since been
to ccc Mayor Gaynor and has laid the mat
ter before him. The Mayor suggested that
we draw up a letter setting forth existing
conditions as we know them without re
lying on hearsay evidence to establish a
case. He promised to give the.communi
cation Ms most careful consideration. In
all fairness I think I should postpone de
livering any sermon on the subject until
Mayor Gaynor has had a chance to act."
Father Pvaywood declared that in his
opinion Mayor Gaynor's anti-dubbing rule
was the cause of present conditions in the
district.
•'1 am not in favor of indiscriminate club
bing/ said the aged priest, emphatically,
"and I deplore police brutality as much as
any one. I agree with Mayor Gaynor that
the police are servants rather than mas
ter?. There Is, however, a possibility of
carrying a reform too far. The police to
cay are afraid to use their clubs, and con
sequently are as much in terror of gangs
as 'nary citizen.:. The patrolman trav
els lon». The thug travels with a crowd
of others as lawless as himself.
"Only a week ago a policeman, while at
tempting to arresi one of the 'Tanner
Smith Terrors.' was set upon, his club
wrested from him and he was struck over
the head with his own nightstick.
"The leader of this gang. Tanner Smith.
la a fellow about twenty-three years old.
He is related to a politician in this dis
trict and acquired his leadership of the
gang because of petty political influence.
"When Patrolman Gottschalk, of the old
West oft street station, attempted to ar
sest a member of the gang named Kelly
a week ago, tie was surrounded by others,
and. although i'< bravely managed to keep
a tight grasp on his prisoner, was stabbed
in the back before a fellow policeman came
to his assistance,
"Ordinary citizens." continued the priest,
•are afraid to prosecute their assailants
\Then they have been assaulted and robbed,
because they know that reprisals will be
made by other member;? of the gang. I
know of at least a half dozen instances
where prosecutions have been stopped
through open threats made against the
complainants if they appeared m court.
"It is the fear of being caught again
and beaten to a pulp which prevents many
a man from going after these 1: odiums in
the proper way. That is the reason why
I must decline at this time to tell th€
name of the man who has acted as my
emissary to the Mayor. I have no doubt
that if his name became known he would
bo blackjacked some night in the street
'•The worst or" it is,' said Father Ray
wood, "that this gang does not belong in
thio district. There are a number of tine
o!d honies in West 23d street, between
Tenth and Ninth avenues, and the resi
dents ... the district are respectable middle
class people or of the better class of labor
ing men and their families."
"WILL CUT BOY TO PIECES"
Dr. Scimeca Hopeless Over Kid
napped Son; New Threats.
[jr. Mariano Schneea, of No. 2 Prinoo
street, whose three years and four months
oki en Michael was kidnapped by a strange
Italian on June 21. has lost all hope that
his .«on wili ever be returned to him. In
his home last night he said to a number of
newspaper men that he believes the boy is
being held by 1 Hack Hand
"Letters come from them every day,"
be - c aid. "They all a.^k for $3,000, but
where can l •-•■' tne money? I have
prwnod my wife's jewelry for §700, but that
.- ail I can get. In the letters the Black
Hand men bay that my boy will be cut to
pieces and his body sent to ? ie section by
section unless I pay the money. They also
llireaten to kill me and my wife. Only a

The physician's wife has also lo.st hop*;.
She became hysterical ir.st night while her
husband was talking, .■. d he had difiiouliv

Mr. Brady has been away a month, but in
that short time he has covered theatrical
Europe and succeeded In bringing back his
share of the novelties to be presented in
this country during the coming reason
Miss Geor?e may return to London imme
diately to accept an offer that has been
made to her to play an autumn engagement
in that city.
This will altogether depend on whether
two plays that have been especially written
for Mlaa George by American authors prove
to be satisfactory for production in fCe.w
York. If so. Miss George will play two
engagements in New York this season —
one in Ootojjcr, and the other as the open

The Playhouse, in !Sth street. which w|H
be ready early in the new year. For the
opening Mr. Brady purposes to revive a
brilliant eld comedy. Miss George beading

Mr. Brady said: \
"Mr. -Mantel!, while ho. was abroad, got !
from Sir Herbert Tree the rights for 'The;
O'Flynn, 1 by Justin Iluntiy McCarthy,
which Tree produced with considerable suc
cess at His Majesty's Theatre. In the title
role Mr. Mantell will play the character of
an Irish soldier of fortune of long ago. Mr.
McCarthy has also contracted to write a
new tragedy for Mr. Manteli, rounded on a
famous historical character. Both plays we j
will present during Mr.*Mantell*s New York I
engagement as part of 1112 already ex
tensive repertory.

repertory an-i «iil rroducc- several new
plays; one called 'The End of Eustace Ede,'
by George Pieydeil, which I nave an option
on for either Mr. Daly or Virginia Harned,
and which I consider a remarkably strong
work, is to be acted next cea?on In London
by young Henry Irvinsr. another, 'The
Kite," by Thomas Gallon, will probably
serve as Mr. Daly's first production in New
York this year.
'■I have brought back quite a number of
manuscripts of romantic plays for James

The Most Important of
AUGUST FURNITURE SALES
Starts This cTVlorning
The kind of Midsummer furniture sales organized in the Wanamakc-
Store in 1896 was an innovation in New York, but we had seven years' prer
vious experience in August Furniture Sales in Philadelphia, and knew what
could be done.
Now that twenty-one years have elapsed since we found out what was
possible to do for our furniture patrons, by yoking them up with the manu
facturers who needed business at the low ebb of manufacturing in the Summer
time, we have a valuable experience that we offer in these annual August sales.
COUPLED WITH THE FACT ABOVE STATED, CERTAIN
CHANGES THAT TOOK PLACE IN MARCH LAST led to a thorough
overhauling and reconstruction of our furniture business.
This brought us into closer touch with the best manufacturers, who
confided their business to us.
We Are Therefore Able to Make a Greater August
Furniture Sale Than Any We Have Ever
Made in New York City
Two very striking things have recently occurred, aiding us in the preparations %
have made for this broader scale FURNITUKE SALE.
We have had long relations with the PHOEXIX FURNITURE COMPANY, Ol
GRAND RAPIDS. ONE OF THE VERY BEST MAKERS OF FURNITURE, And
we have had a special advantage in acquiring a large portion of their stock of bedroom and
dining-room furniture, amounting to exactly $973^6-
Besides this, within the last few weeks the excellent and well-known New \ ork manu
facturing firm of S. (;. ESTABROOK k COMPANY, WITH WHOM WE HAVE
LONG DEALT. BROUGHT TO US $144,000 WORTH OF GOODS, of their better
grades of Parlor Furniture, being their entire stock.
The fact was that they were retiring from the manufacturing business, and that every
thing was absolutely new. including $16,000 worth of their samples on exhibiHnn at tbe New
York Furniture Exchange, Lexington Aye. and 43d Street.
Three-fourths of the furniture was <*tiU in the works, in process of completion. We took
advantage of the opportunity, because there was no old stock in the lot.
We made an exceptionally good contract, whereby we are able to get the goods to >e!l
to our good patrons at far less than our own former retail prices.
The Estabrook firm told us that they could sell portions of it at 2.5 per cent, above the
prices that we were considering, but they were not able to sell all. and wanted some one party to
take all the goods and to do it immediately,
ALL THESE GOODS OF THE PHOEXIX AXD OF THE ESTABROOK
COMPANY WE OWX. together with otherjargc and valuable additions of various manu
facturers, making a comprehensive stock of tine furniture amounting to between $830,000 and
$851,000 worth.
This is our actual ownership and all at the disposal of our customers.
To Be Exact There Is
$850,052 Worth of Furniture
every piece of which will be offered, without reservation, at reductions ranging from TEN to
FIFTY PER GENT, less than our regular retail prices. Carefully tigured & estin\ate v s would
indicate that the average saving is slightly more than TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT., with
a large portion of the stock showing reductions of THIRTY-THREE AND ONE-THIRD
PER CENT. ; in other words, one can buy for $200 furniture that will regularly cost $300.
All of the ESTA BROOK furniture will be shown in the FIFTH; GALLERY of our
NEW BUILDING; and all of the PHOENIX furniture will be shown in the SIXTH
GALLERY of our NEW BUILDING.
