on the other became involved, while the
hoodlums of all races seized the oppor-
tunity to attack each other. William
I1nith, colored, was locked up, charged
ith having fired a revolver impartially
into the crowd from the fire escape of
his home. While the fight raged in the
greet, less adventuresome rioters lined
the tenement roofs and showered bricks
chunks of coping and flower pots upon
the heads of those below. It took the
police reserves of four precincts two
hours to beat the combatants into sub-
mission and clear the streets. When

made it was found that as usual the in-
nocent had suffered. most.

Thomas, the aeronaut, lies in a, serious
condition at Fordazu hospital to -day,
suffering front a compound fracture of
the beg and internal injuries, received in
an eutomobile accident last night when
the machine carrying the aeronaut mid
two women companions, crashed into a
trolley pole in the- Bronx. Pysicians said
to -day that Dr. Thomas might have to
suffer amputation of Ids legs Mies Flor-
ence Haas, an actress, who with Miss
Grace Rogers, was with Dr. Thomas
when the accident occurred, was so seri-
ously injured that physicians amputated
her left leg at the Ford/lain Hospital.
M/S5 Rogers Was injured internally, but
will probably recover.
Dr ;Thomas and Irk friends were tray -
oiling at et high rate of speed down Jer
ome avenue last night. Near the en-
trance of Woodlawn Cemetery tile road
makes a sharp turn, which the aero-
naut evidently did not see in the dark,
Tho machine crashed into a heavy trol-
ley pole, and Dr, Thomas and his two
companions were flung out of the mach-
ine as if front a catapult. The ^automo-
bile was reduced to strap Iron from the
compact.
The curve where the accident occurred
is extremely dangerous and there hers
been many accidents at that point. Two
W011101 were killed at the curve last
year in an automobile accident similar
to the one last night,
Tit GREAT LAKES NOW FULL OF FISH
And the Fishermen's Nets Full to Overflowinfi-
But Pries Keep Up.
Cleveland, 0„ 'July 8. --Por the past de-
cade there has been a gradual falling off
in tee quantity of fish caught in the
great lakee. This year, however, the nets
of the fishing companies all along the
chain of lakes have almost invariably
been over running with fish ween lifted.
The present season, promises one of the
largest catches of fish recorded in many
years.
The usual -output of the lakes for sev-
eral yearn past has -been close to 150,000,-
000 pounds annually, of which Lake Erie
produced over half. During the spring
00 per cent. of the retch is blue pike,
while perch, herring and white fish make
up the remainder. In the summer season
eighty per cent, of the catch is herring
with blue pike, perch and white fish
composing the remaining twenty per cent.
The success of the fishermen, who fish
every day during the season, contradicts
the supposition that the lake's supply of
fish is giving out. The increase in the
cateh this year is doubtless due to the
protection to fish given by the various
state laws prohibiting fishing during the
winter season and to the law .regulating
flue size of the mesh of the nets. The
Government spends thousands of d,ollare
each year in propagating fish in the
great lakes which inmply about half of
the fish consumed in the United States,
Although the supply was greater Vila
spring yet the price practically was un-
changed owing, the dealers say, to the
high price of meat, which caused a grea-
ter demand for fish.
RUNNER'S MISTAKE,
THREE MINERS GROUND TO DEATH
UNDER COAL CAR.
The Accident Took Place in the Nova
Scotia Coal Company's Sydney
Mines -Arthur Pearo Admits Re-
sponsibility -Released Car Before
Turning the Switch.
Halifax, N. S., July 7.--A shocking ac-
cident by which three miners were in-
stantly killed at No. 4 colliery of the
Nova Scotia. Steel Company's Sydney
mines is one of the worst which ever
occurred in that district of the Cape
Breton coal fields. The dead are: John
W. Nieholson, aged 22, leaving a wife
and four children; Dennis Pendergreet,
single, aged 35 years, and Richard_
Broderick, 27 years, who leaves a wife
and two small children.
The three men were working in the
deep, when, without a moment's warn-
ing, a loaded. box came crashing down
the bank and. into the pit, giving the
unsuspecting men not tile slightest
ehauce to get out of the way.
This afternoon the Coroner visited the
scene, where it was ascertained the
accident was largely due to the careless-
ness of a chain runner, Arthur Petro,
who, before shifting the switch to di-
vert the car to the bank, detached flue
car from the haulage rope and allowed
it to return at terrific speed down in-
to the pit, where, the men were at
work, it distance of four hundred feet.
When Pearo noticed his terrible mis-
take end saw the car pees from him
and shoot into the mine lie ran after
it and shouted. at the top of his voice
to the men below, but they could. not
hear. When the victims were discover-
ed they were buried under a ton of
eoal which had been the contents of the
box, and whieh had, been tiu•own out by
the force of the impact.
The three men were taken to the sur-
face. Broderick was dead, a large hole
in the top of Ids head exposing the skull.
Nicholson and Pendergrast lived a short
Lime, Doctors marvelled how they could
live any time, in view of their ten•ible
injuries. Pendergrast was badly injured
about the body and both legs wee
broken in several places.
Arthur Pearo, who failed to shift the
:witch, is almost dietracted, He makes
no ettempt to shift the responeibility,
lnit blames himself for the whole thing.
