New York, Oct. 2.—After ■ Sabbath of rioting, in which he personally led the police against mobs
Mayor Make of Mount Vernon today
called a special aldermanlc meeting
to revoke orders against use of any
strikebreakers on the West Chester
subsidiary lines of the Third Avenue
railway. Rev. Fiske's Sunday was
the most thrilling he ever passed.
Crowds, angered at the company's
attempt to break the strike after several weeks of inactivity, attacked the
cars, spiked switches and gave the
200 police force an all day fight.
Motorcycle police, like cavalry
charged the strikers. Union heads
failed when they counselled order.
In the city proper cars ran normally, but the expected formal calling off of the strike was halted by
the non-arrival of President Mahon
of the International body from Europe.
MAKE SIXTY-
THREE ARRESTS
IN SEPTEMBER
The t;3 arrests made by the local
police during the month of September make the largest number which
have ever been totaled by a Delaware
police force since Chief Spaulding
became a member. The chief believes
tbat the amount of state and county
work located so close to Delaware
draws the people who have been giving the most trouble. The record follows:
Intoxication, 23; safe keeping, 6;
gambling. 10; failure to pay board,
1; assault, 2: using profano language, 2; for other towns, 4; for
juvenile court, 4; using auto without
permission, 1: grand larceny, 1; receiving stolen property, 1; inducing
ward of the state to violate parole,
1; disorderly conduct, 1; exploding
dynamite in large quantities, 1; violating auto tag law, 2; buying Junk oi
minors, 1; investigation. 1; and total
63.
The record indicates that tbe local
force has been keeping a wide eye
open for the welfare of Delaware
citizens.

carnival plan with the usual confetti, horns, paper hats, etc. The large
crowd thoroughly enjoyed the evening with its informal introductions
and boisterous good times. Refreshments of lemonade, wafers and candy kisses were handed out and a local orchestra of four pieces contributed to the affair with its soothing
symphonies and ragtime melodies.

Clyde Barton of Sunbury was fatally injured and Mrs. J. C. Fifer received very serious injuries as a result of an accident on the Sunbury
road eight miles east of the city about
7 o'clock Sunday evening. Harton
died after being rushed to the Grant
hospital In Columbus by Dr. Gergart
of Sunbury. Mrs. IFfer was brought
immediately to the Jane M. Case hoB-
pital of this city In Miller Brothers'
ambulance.
The accident occurred when Mr.
Pifer's car, In which were his wife
and Mr. and Mrs. George Murphy of
Richwood, ran into a motorcycle ridden by Clyde Barton and Ellis Gam-
mill. The blinding lights of tbe car,
made it difficult for the boys on the |
motorcycle tb tell when they were
clear of the bigger machine and were
struck when thinking they were far
enough to the side of the road. The
impact smashed the cycle and carried
the two riders with parts of the machine several hundred feet down the
road, and as the auto was traveling at
a rapid rate the driver was unable to
stop at once. While looking back to
ascertain the extent of the damage
done he lost control of the wheel and
the car shot into the ditch at the side
of the road.
The Barton boy, who waa riding on
the rear seat of the motorcycle, was
thrown forward over Gammill's bead
and so seriously Injured, his skull being fractured, that he died later in
the evening. Gammill and Mr. Fifer
were also severely shaken up and
bruised, the later being in a delirious
condition, Sunday inght and Monday, while Mr. and Mrs. Murphy
escaped with minor bruises. Prac-
tially every bone In Mrs. Fifer's face
seemed smashed or broken when she
was examined and attended at the
Jane M. Caae hospital Sunday night
and Monday morning. Just how serious her injuries are, could not be

scene of the accident and he immediately sent out a tall for help and administered to the victims of the collision until help arrived. Mr. Fifer
and Mr. and Mrs. Murphy left the
hospital late in the evening for Rich-

ROAD HOUSE PREPARED
FOR BANDIT ATTACK
Children's Home residents were
happily surprised Sunday by a number of business men of Delaware who
appeared on tbe scene with a large
number ot automobiles and invited
the youngsters to ride. All the children were provided for and over 60
were carried away for the afternoon
to ride the hours away. This is the
first time that all of the children
were able to go at one time. The
citizens of Delaware who took part
in this happy mission surely have tbe
gratitude of the home kids. Those
who used their, cars for the frolic
were. Mr. A. L. Alkin, Mr. L, A.

Chicago, Oct. 2.—Automobile bandits early today raided the Burr Oak
Inn, a suburban  road  house.    They
were met with a storm of bullets from
waiters and bartenders.    One bandit
!known as "Peggy," due to a timber
1 leg, was shot dead.    A second man
I was dragged   into  the auto  by  the
other bandits and driven toward Chicago.    Two hours later Daniel Hartman was found dying at the door of
St. Bernards hospital.   The police say
he was one of the bandits.
The owners of the inn had been
"tipped off" that the bandits would
call. They armed their waiters and
bartenders witb automatics and were
ready.

I probable the women were asphyxiat-

The coroner will delay his verdict,
! however, until the stomachs of the

' violence and the coroner's preliminary examination failed to reveal any
? traces of poison.

New York, Oct. 2.—This city felt
the first pangs of a milk famine today.
Only half the usual supply was served
and much of that was milk stored up
state iu anticipation of the "strike."
Meantime the distributors here—the
big three—sought to have the Dairymen's league, the producers combination, investigated as an organization
in restraint of selling. The dairymen's representatives retorted wtih
the claim that they formed merely a
co-operative organization and that
the big three was in reality a vicious
trust. And, Albany authorities
started probing both questions.
New York had probably only half
of ita customary 2,500,000 quarts this
morning. There was a discordant
note in the accustomed early morning
symphony for the rattle of milk
wagon with its cans and bottles was
missing in many localities.
To meet the shortage party the big
three has ordered shipments from as
far away as Canada and Illinois. FINDLAY-—Mr. and    Mrs.  Albert
But they admit that as matters J Knrg enjoyed a quart of strawberries
now stand they ean hold out little. from their own garden today. They
hope of anything but an actual milk; were a second crop and had been
