New York Mob Almost Beats

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.

Punish Casa Blanca.
TANGIER, Aug. - 6. The French
cruiser Galilee was bombarding the
Moorish, quarter of Casa Blanca and

of the Galilee for assistance. He there
upon landed CO men and a Spanish
cruiser landed 40. This landing party
was fired on by the Kabyles and seven
Frenchmen, including an officer, were,
wounded. ,
The combined Franco-Spanish force
thereupon cleared the city of hostile
tribesmen, guards were placed about
the foreign consulates and then the
Galilee opened fire with her big guns
upon the rebels.
A column of troops for Alcazar Is

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.
