POLICEMAN TO THE RESCUE He Stands Siege With Mangled Vic tim While Relief Comes Mob Vents Fury on Innocent Man. Crime Wave Exaggerated. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. More of what nave become known at police headquar ters as "near crimes" against girls were followed by "lynchlngs" today. Out of the score of complaints that reached the police, a half dozen demanded serious at tention. Whether the number Is ex traordinary Is disputed, but certain it is that never before has mob vengeance so frequently attended attacks upon chil dren. Led by a woman, who, alternately in Italian " and broken English cried, "Avenge my daughter," a reckless crowd of 2000 persons tonight stormed the Fourteenth-street carbarns of the Metro politan Street Railway Company, where a policeman had sought refuge with a seriously pummeled prisoner. Paul Sor gerate, a Greek peddler, 30 years of age. had made the mistake, it Is charged, of kissing Grace Josco, an Italian of 11 years. A shrill cry from the girl and an impassioned appeal by the mother put the foreigners in the neighborhood in a rage and, as the Greek took to his heels, a crowd pursued. , When a block had been covered, Sorgerate stumbled and fell, and the mob was upon him. and kicked him nearly senseless. The Greek, a powerful man, neverthless gained his feet, onlly to be knocked down again. Rope Ready to Lynch Him. By this time some one had snatched a "clothesline from the window of a grocery store. and the rioters at-, temped to put a noose over the of fender's head. Only the overeager ness of each rioter to have a hand in the lassoing saved the peddler's neck. During the confusion a policeman arrived and clubbed his way to the endangered man. For a moment the crowd fell back and within that time the officer had dragged his man to the nearby carbarns. Con cealing his prisoner In a car, the officer waited assistance, while the rioters threw themselves against the doors in an ef fort to force an entrance. Police reserves stood off the mob while the Greek was hustled into a patrol wagon. Through a crowd that cried. "Kill him." "Lynch him." the police fought their way to the nearest station house. Sorgerate was In bad shape, but it was thought inadvisable to attempt his re moval to a hospital during the excite ment.' His eyes were blackened, nose broken, scalp torn, face lacerated, and his body black with bruises. Vents Fury on Innocent Man. Cheated of 'Its man the crowd vented its fury on Caston Kerlskell. an unof fending workman homeward bound. As he was passing the rioters he was pointed out by a boy, who yelled. "That's the man's friend. He was there too." Kerlskell was pounded until he was unconscious. The police reserves finally got the injured man and removed him to a hospital. Edward Pratt, a millwright, 46 years old, had a somewhat peculiar experience late this afternoon In West Fifty-seventh street. Nellie and Helen Farrel, each about 10 years of age. accused Pratt of Improper remarks. He was frightfully mauled before rescued from a mob by the police. An attempt to assault a lone woman early today would have been suc cessful had it not been for the des perate struggle of Adelaide Wildrer a trained nurse, who fought her assailant with hat pin and finally routed him. Miss Wildrer's screams brought the police, who pursued the man to Central Park, where he was captured. He said his name was Pletro Daurio, an Italian peddler. Near Manhattan avenue and One Hun dred and Sixth strei-r an Italian ac costed Miss Wildrer. When she repulsed him. the Italian knocked her down, and, clutching her throat with his hand, - dragged her to the stoop of an apartment house. Miss Wildrer managed to with draw a hat pin from her hat, and, jab bing her assailant, caused him to loosen his hold on her throat. Miss Wildrer screamed for help, and the Italian fled. Policemen heard her cries and gave chase. The Italian ran to Central Park and the , policemen fired a volley of shots after the fleeing man, who leaped the park wall and hid under a clump of bushes. He was drawn out by the police and identified by Miss Wildrer, who. despite the fact that she had been strangled and badly beaten about the face, had given chase to her assailant with the police. Daurio declared that he was innocent. The police are searching for an- un known man who attempted to assault a 13-year-old girl named Sadie Momah In a hallway of an office building today. Several persons pursued the man, who es caped. The girl was not harmed. N'o Increase of Assaults. "There is not any crime wave," said Superintendent Jenkins, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, today. "I mean by that, that our sta tistics show no Increase In the number of actual assaults committed upon girls under 16 years. Our clerical force has Just examined the records to make sure whether there is or is not any warrant for published assertions that this phase of crime shows a marked increase. "It is very easy for a mother or a father to take alarm at a perfectly in nocent caress bestowed- by a grown per son upon a child and to infer a criminal motive. "At this season there is always a rel ative Increase in the number of assaults and attempted . assaults upon girls un der 16. They have not, however, in creased relatively to the Increase of pop ulation. There are about the same num ber to date this month and last that there was in July and . August, 1906." REVENGE ON CASA BLANCA i Continued from First Pafte. ) the officials replied that they were powerless to guarantee safety and in vited the commander of the French cruiser Galilee to disembark troops. It appears that the town gate was closed behind the first French landing party. The ' men consequently found themselves in a trap am ihelr way bar red by uniformed Moorish troops, who immediately opened fire. The seamen cleared their way by a bayonet charge, literally forcing their passage over the dead bodies of the Moorish soldiers. Spain Will Send More Troops. MADRID. Aug. 6.

The French cruiser Galilee was bombarding the Moorish, quarter of Casa Blanca and the neighborhood of. the city when the, last steamer, which has Just arrived here, left that port.

IMPOSE DEATH PENALTY Hunchaklst Constitution Shows So ciety Sentences Men to Die. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Evidence is forthcoming that the Hunchaklst, the Ar menian revolutionary society which is be ing investigated by the authorities, sanc tions death penalties and is an oathbound organization. County detectives recent ly seized papers in the room of Stephen Kadarian. an Armenian, and one of these documents appear to be the fundamental constitution of the Hunchakst adopted in 1903 ana amended in 1906 at the general convention held In Cairo. Egypt. 'Assistant District Attorney Manley, who Is conducting the Investigation, has had this copy of the constitution tran slated and it appears from it that the central committee of the Hunchakist, which is the governing but not the su preme group of the organization, may condemn any member to death. The vote in the central committee, which numbers five, must be unanimous and the person thus singled out for death may appeal to the general convention. The general convention may likewise by unan imous vote condemn any member to death and In such a case there is no right of appeal. - Kadarian has been summoned to tell what he knows about the society and it workings.
