OAKLAND, Aug. 5.-An all but sanguinary battle took place here ear ly yesterday morning as a result of the musical efforts of three Italians to entertain their ladies fair in fourth street at an early hour in the morn ing. The harmonious three had har dly more than entered upon their joy ous serenade when from neighboring windows appeared the heads of three irate gentlemen who protested with more vigor than courtesy against the song. The unfortunate Italians re plied in kind whereupon the disturb ed ones, who sweep the streets by day and wish to sleep by, night, descended to the street and a lively fracas en sued in which three shots were fired and wicked looking knives flashed. The appearance of a police officer ending the battle before any damage had been done, the serenaders took to their heels. PRESIDENT DENIES STORY.

Marathon Race WAS A REMARKABLE FEAT Canadian Lands in New and Pays High Compliment to the Ynkee Racer Who Won the Great Race Against the World. v NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-"Thc Mara thou was a grand race, truly run and truly won. Hayes won the race fair ly and, squarely and in doing so gave one of the finest exhibitions tf run ning that 1 have ever witnessed." said Tom Longboat, the Indian runner of Toronto, one of the runners "whom John J. Hayes of Jhe Irish American Athletic Club defeated in the race at the Olympic games in London last month. Longboat has just returned from Englan 1. He was accompanied by F. G. Flan agan, president of the Irish-Canadian Athletic 'Asosciation of Toronto and brother of John Flanagan, the cham pion weight thrower. Longboat dropped out of the Marathon race af ter running twenty miles. "Hayes ran a truly remarkable race. He was going snjoothly when he passed me, just before I was forc ed to quit. I don't know what hurt me, unless it was the sunlight and the pounding my feet received over the hard pavements. When Hayes passed me I declared that he would win, but at that time I did not know how far ahead Dorando was. The Italian deserves a lot of credit for the sameness he showed, but Hayes work in overcoming the handicap of nearly two miles in less than seven was a wonderful performance and worthy of the greatest praise When Hayes was presented with the Marathon trophy by Ihe Queen of England sev eral other athletes lifted him upon a wooden pedestal and bore him off the field amid the wildest enthusiasm and vigorous cheering." , .

ARE KILLING MANY New York Autolsts Are Aroused Over Many. Fatalities PROTEST TO THE RAILROADS Will Demand Safeguards at Railway Crossings. But Meantime Nothing is mara rrom roor reaennani; Who Have to Guard Against Autos NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The many mortal automobile accidents at rail road grade crossings in the last few mouths have aroused the automobile club of America to action and a meet ing has been called for next Tuesday to consider plans which may lessen the danger. Members of the club say that within the last month there have been at least a dozen such accidents in a radius of a fe wmilcs from New York. They say the fault is divided between the railroads and therauto mobilists. The railroads, they de clare, do not afford proper safeguards at many of the crossings and many au tomobilists approach the crossings at reckless speed. Resolutions will likely be adopted at next Tuesday's meeting asking the railroad commissions of this and oth er states to order the railroads to ei ther put gates at the dangerous cros sings or establish flagmen there. This is not the first time the auto mobile club has protested against dangerous crossings and through its effort a number have been sagegtiard- ed.

In the result of the finding of the severed corresponding months this shows an limb of a vounn woman in Mud n 5 Mud Lake, a part of the south branch of the Chicago river near the stock yards yesterday. Experts who have examined the gruesome evidence of murder pro nounce portions of the body found to be those of a blonde woman not more than 18 years old who has been dead not more than four days. That a crime was committed and the body hacked up in order to destroy evidence is indicated by the manner in which the limbs were torn from the torso and the feet severed "at the an kles in order to make identification al most impossible. Suggestions that the portions of the body might have pome from a cadaver used in a medi ml frnlWc have been rendered un- tenable by the manner in which the'.ution would advocate the killing of amputation was done. The instru-!evcry Spaniard in Manila,' yesterday used were evidently a hatchet and a said that the incident lacked the sligh- i . . . . . t . saw.
