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.

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." , .

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. The
new military dirigible balloon built by
Captain Thomas S. Baldwin for tlge

ful preliminary flight yesterday with

Curtis handling the motor. With the
propeller revolving at moderate
speed the airship rose slowly to a
height of fifty feet.
Heading for Arlington Cemetery
to the southeast, Mr. Curtis increased
the speed of the motor. As Mr. Cur
tis increased the speed and kept the
ship up, Captain Baldwin brought it
about head against the wind. A semi
circle was described to the south and
then the ship was brought complete
ly around so that it faced north, mov
ing with the wind. Passing directly
over the starting point, Captain Bald
win made a circle, the ship which had
reached a height of about 100 feet
soaring downward by means of the
planes to' within forty feet of the
ground where eager hands seized the
drag rope and the landing was made
safely.

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.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A mystery J bjc yanjs for June, and 1,087,498 cu

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

tenable by the manner in which the'.ution would advocate the killing of
amputation was done. The instru-!evcry Spaniard in Manila,' yesterday
