With gunmen on each side of the street firing away at each other, Futton at Rockaway had anything but a quiet Sunday afternoon yesterday. More than a score of shots were fired in the battle, and.

almost miraculously, only one of the many holiday promenaders was struck. Mary Monty, 15, of 30 Van Sinderen was shot in the right leg as she was running down the street. The wound was not serious. Another bullet lodged in a showcase a few inches from the head of Mrs. Rosie Schmitz.

who keeps a tobacco store on Fulton at Rockaway ave. The no two groups of gunmen began firing without warning. Evidently they had not expected to see each other in the crowds of strollers on Fulton most of whom we bound for a nearby moving picture show. The first intimation the crowd got of trouble was the bark of a gun as the first shot was fired. Panic stricken the crowd rushed for open doors.

A trolley passed. giving them few seconds leeway. Then the battle began in earnest. There were two or three men on the south side of the street and three or four on the north side. Witnesses said that they were all Italians.

All of them joined in the firing. All of them proved to be extraordinarily bad shots. When little Mary Monty dropped to the sidewalk, bit by a wild shot, the battle ended as suddenly as. it had started. Guns were pocketed and the gunmen fled.

As they legged it down the street, Patrolman Zeigler of the Oak st. station, Manhattan, who was off duty and in civilian clothes, passed in a motorcar. He sprang out and gave chase. After a short run he caught Michael Guerriero of 2349 Pacific st. and took him to the Brownsville police station.

Detective Connors, who questioned Guerriero, said that the police have known him in the past as "Mike the Black Hand," and that 'he had been arrested twice for rohbery and has served one prison term for the same Guerriero said that two men had been "after him" and that they had done the shooting. He denied having fired a shot. He was arrested on a charge of violating the Sullivan law. Last night Lawrence and Anthony Bellelo, were arrested at their home, 2271 Pacific in connection with the gun battle. Detectives Govern and Cavanagh, who arrested them, said that Anthony had a loaded revolver.

The wounded child was taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment. It was said there that the wound was in the fleshy part of the leg and would heal shortly. Guerriero and the Rallelo brothers held without on a charge of felonious assault by Magistrate Short today in the Gates Avenue Court. Guerriero and Anthony Bellelo were held in additional bail on charges of possessing revolvers as a felony.

Guerriero at the time of the shoting was out on $2.600 bail on a grand larceny charge. DEATHS STEGMAN--On Sunday, Oct. 7, 1923. Col. LEWIS R.

Telephone Main 2093 JOY GANG STEAL CAR; KIDNAP GIRL; SHOTS IN TIRES HALT RIDE Young Negress Hurled From Speeding Auto as Cops in Flivvers Pursue. Early risers in the Bedford section today were treated to a thrilling drama involving cops, bandits, a kidnaped girl and startled citizens. Three men stole a motorcar efter beating up a garage watchman and went for a joy ride. The ride ended after three policemen in two motorcars ripped open the rear tires of the fugitive car with well -placed bullets. The kidnaped girl was dumped out on the street en route to freedom.

The only one arrested, John Murphy, a young man of 20 who gave his address as 11 Stockton refused to give the names of his companions and will be arraigned o11 charges of burglary, grand larceny, felonious assault, reckless driving and kidnaping. Shortly after 6 o'clock Palone Ramo, watchman at the Nostrand Garage, 178 Nostrand was confronted by three men who demanded car. a When he refused he was beaten up and the three hopped into a car and drove away. The car raced along Nostrand ave. to Myrtle ave.

and thence to Franklin ave. It paused long enough for the trio to seize Cleo Rockhead, 23, colored, of Classon and carry her off. Cleo began battling the two men in the rear of the car and the commotion attracted the attention of Patrolman Willian A. Brady of Traffic who is on sick leave. Brady jumped to the running board of a passing car operated by Henry Eiseman of 1298 De Kalb head of a detective agency, and gave chase.

Not having a gun he borrowed Eiseman's and started firing. Sgt. Edward Queens and Patrolman Adam Mangold of the Clymer st. station joined the chase in a department flivver. The chase led through Flushing ave.

and then cled back to its starting place. Murphy, the alleged driver, proved very dexterous at the wheel and he took corners at top speed that the police slowed down for. At Spencer st. Cleo was thrown out of the back seat to the street and more speed was put on. A bullet in one of the tires scared Murphy's companions and they ran away when the car slowed up.

A second bullet brought the car to a halt and Murphy was arrested. Ho was very defiant and said he expected 20 years for the crime. Cleo was patched up by an ambulance surgeon and went home. MARRIED A YEAR, PARENTS GET NEWS Charles Young and Eleanore Murphy Wedded in Connecticut.

John V. Murphy of the Fire Department, had gone to Greenwich, Sept. 18. 1922, and the same day were married by an official in the marriage license bureau there.

R. E. Manne on "Bunk" Some popular expressions were brought under fire by the Rev. Roy E. Manne, pastor of Grace M.

E. Church. 7th ave. and St. John's in a sermon on "Bunk" last evening.

"We have often heard the words, 'America is the great melting pot out of which flows the molten met. 1 of said Mr. Manne. "Scrambling CHES does" not help much if there is one bad one in the lot. Our melting pot is like all the others, it cannot convert refractory ores.

You cannot get 100 percent Americanism 818 long as you 'have 10.000.000 foreigners who cannot speak English in this country, They should be compelled to learn English or be deported." Samuel Gompers once salt that the workers in the building trades are now earning more than ever before. Mr. Manne was of the opinion last evening that they were only being paid more.

Senator William L.

Dr. Love's declaration was occasioned by the announcement that the Democratic candidates for Assembly this your would run on the defeated portions of Governor Smith's 1923 program, which included the proposition to repeal the censorship law.

CITY PREPARES TO SHARPEN TEETH OF PRESENT RENT LAWS Gouging Landlords Still Fleecing Public, Member of Mayor's Committee Says. The city administration not only wants an extension of the rent laws from the next Legislature but is determined to have them made more drastic. To that end amendments to the present law are now being prepared in the corporation counsel's office. Landlords, according to representatives of two big property owners associations, will take the stand that a housing emergency no longer exists and that under the decision of the United States Supreme Court the reenactment the measure prohibiting owners of buildings used for residential purposes to charge rent in excess of a reasonable profit on the investment, would be unconstitutional. A member of the mayor's committee on rent profiteering stated yesterday that the housing emergency at the present time was even greater than in 1920.

"While it is true," he said, "that there are more apartments to let now than two years ago, the gouging landlord still is taking his toll from the great mass of the people who live in tenements for the reason that the existing rent law does not cover certain phases of rent pr profiteering. That is why amendments are being drawn up that will put teeth in the act. "It is not the well to do who come here to make complaints about extortionate increases rent, but the sort of people to whom an increase of from 50 to 100 percent is nothing less than a calamity. "Only this morning we had several cases where rents were increased from $12 to $24 and from $17 to $25 as of 1. In each of these cases the landlords were protested by the present law because the ownership of the tenement in question changed hands and the new owner, on the ground that he had paid more for the property than it cost the preceding owner, promptly boosted rent.

There is no doubt but that rents are being increased all around. The great need at the present time is to make the rent laws more drastic and that is what we intend to do." "Has the prospect of heavier taxation as a result of the enormous increase in assessed realty valuation for 1924 any connection with the alleged increase in rent?" was asked. "None whatever," was the reply, "in SO far as this committee knows. The fact is that the court records are full of cases where the landlord misstated the amount his property was assessed at. The assessed valuation is always overstated $2.000 to $10,000 for the poorer class of tenements.

It is perfectly proper that property should be assessed on the basis of the income the owner derives from the property. It is understood that one of the proposed amendments will deal with "chain ownerships," that is where apartment and tenement houses change ownership several times during the year, in each case followed by an increase in rent. Another amendment, it is said. will include business property, to which the present act does not apply. The Commission appointed by Governor Smith to determine whether a housing emergency still exists will hold its first public hearing on Oct.

15, at the City Hall. If this Commission, of which Bernard L. Shientag, head of the State Labor Bureau, is chairman, reports that there is a housing shortage as indicated by the hign rents, it is believed the Legislature will continue the rent laws, although it may not adopt the proposed amendments.

Louis, Oct. 7 (By the Assoclated Press)-The speed trials for attempts to break the world's records for the one, two and three kilometer straightaways, scheduled to have been held here today, were postponed, due to the inability of the contest committee to arrange the electrical timing apparatus.

A. C. Williams, holder of the world's speed record and winner of the Pulitzer event yesterday, was one of the entrants. Sneaking to newspapermen today. Lieutenant Williams said: "Really, I do not know how I did it.

I flew over the course exactly 26 times and knew every telephone pole and haystack around the 30 miles of it." Lieutenant Williams declared was "half asleep" all the way rounl the course. Describing his sensation as he hurtled through the air at speed of over 240 miles an hour, Lieutenant Williams added that the vibrations of the plane were terrible and that each "bump in the air threw his shoulders against the cockpit, snapped his head back and forth so sharply that he did not, after flying one lap, "know what it was all about." Commander Marc A. Mitschner. commanding the naval detachment here, said today that a check on Williams, speed showed that on the straightaway between pylons he attained a speed of better than 247 miles an hour. Commenting on the new world's speed record made by Williams, men prominent in aviation declared that the limit of air speed had not yet been reached and that a speed of nt least 300 miles an hour might be pected at the next air race meet, in 1924.

BONDELZWARTS LED GERMANY TO EMPIRE Their Revolt Caused Her Decision on African Colony. "Now here is the kind of thing I mean," explains Mr. Argumentative Citizen, confident of his innate capacity to run a' newspaper. "This item says the Mandates Commission criticizes the South African government's policy toward the Bondelzwart.

"Why should an American newspaper bother to print that? "What's it to me, or you, or the United It SO happens, according to a bulletin from the Washington, D. headquarters of the National Geographic Society, that the Bondelzwarts furnished the impetus toward the German Empire's ambition to cut the Cape-to-Cairo railway route, which effort, along with her positive plans toward a Berlin-to-Bagdad road. had considerable to do with starting the World War. Was Germany's First Colony. The Bondelzwarts are the Hottentots who live directly north of the Orange River in what once was German Southwest Africa.

This former German colony, whose name describes its location, was Germany's first adventure into colonization. Her acquisition of the colony was accidental and her interest in it was incidental until, in 1903, the Hottentots revolted. A German general embarked upon policy of extermination which aroused such indignation in this homeland that Chancellor von Buelow disavowed his more drastic acts. However, the misguided officer had aroused the natives of all Southwest Africa, and the discontent spread to adjoining British possessions, so that the issue became drawn between white or black supremacy in all South Africa, A war that lasted four years, and took toll of several thousand German soldiers, brought squarely before the German parliament the question of whether Germany was to adopt, policy. permanently The a Hottentot colonial had expan- unwittingly fanned Germany's interest in her first colony, and she went into the development of a colonial empire with her accustomed thoroughness.

Within a little more than two decades the sand dunes of German Southwest Africa's dreary 800-mile coast line were punctuated by a port which the tallest wireless tower of day, modern electric railways, 'her a public library, government buildings and a newspaper. The city first was called Luderitz. for the Bremen merchant who bought it for a trifle from a native chief, but now known as Angra Pequena. Museum in Sand Dunes. The bewildered Hottentot, wearing little more than his "sweat-wiper" (which is the correct though not polite designation of the fox's tail mounted on a stick he invariably carvies), accompanied by his wife in her numerous "leg rings, strolled from native kraal into an electriclighted, smooth paved city, where even a museum had been provided 80 Germany's colonists might feel completely at home.

Today the Hottentot has been "all dressed up" by the missionaries; but he literally never had any place to KO -which is principally what is the matter with him. He was pastoral and could well afford to dream when he pleased, which was often all day long. and work when he pleased, which was seldom. Despite his occasional uprisings, such the recent one against the new Union of South Africa mandatory, the Hottentot is a gentle creature, with scarcely any explosive qualities except his language. He enunciates a large number of clicks and clucks, like the noise a farmer makes to hurry his horse along.

Unlike his Bushman neighbor, the Hottentot is not savage and daring. nor has he the bravado and quick temper of the Kaffir. Commercial Leases, Charles P. Noyes Company has leased offices In the BroadwayMaiden Lane Building. 170 Broadto Joseph Rosenblatt, to GoldBros.

COMMUNISTS WILL HAVE PLACES IN 2 GERMAN CABINETS, They Are Ministries of Thuringia and Saxony Two Portfolios in Latter Assigned. London, Oct. 8-Dr. von Kahr's socalled reactionary rule in Bavaria has led to counter measures in Thuringia and Saxony, whereby Communists will enter the Cabinets of those German States, says Reuter's Berlin correspondent. to tween Conversations the Saxon are in and progress Thuringian bePremiers, Herren Zeigner and Froehlich, with regard to the formation of an alliance of all the Central States of Germany against the growth of Faseism in Bavaria, and it is stated that these negotiations have I led to the recognition of the need for the creation of a "Red Bloc." The Communists will accordingly join the Thuringian Government.

In Saxony conversations between the Socialists Communists have already sulted in the assignment to the latter of the portfolios of Labor and Education. During the negotiations in Saxony, continues the correspondent, both parties agreed that the Government of the Reich was powerless against Dr. von Kahr and Adolph Hitler, and it is stated that the Communist participation in the Saxon Government is the beginning of a determined defensive fight against reaction. As a result of these developments, Chancellor Stresemann has asked Premiers Zeigner and Froehlich to come to Berlin for a discussion. R.

W. CHILD EXPECTS TO RETURN TO ROME American Ambassador Will Serve Until Relieved. Rome, Oct. 8-Richard Wash- burn Child. the American Ambassador, does not of any change in the plan by which he was to return to his post here when his leave expired, there to await the coming of his successor, he says in a wireless message en route to the United States which the local press prints today.

"In leaving Italy, with the President's approval, my plan is to return to my post on the expiration of my home leave," the message reads. "Because of strong personal reasons I indicated to President Harding and later to President Coolidge my wish to be relieved of my duties when they decided the movement was opportune. Both expressed the wish that I continue as Ambassador until such time should arrive. I do not know of any change of plan." DRAMATIST, JAILED, CAN'T SEE HIS PLAYS Berlin, Sept. 29 (By the Associated Press) -Ernst Toller, the communist playwright who was imprisoned for participation in the uprising of 1919, has had another play produced -the third since he was jailed.

He has seen none of them performed. Toller's communist friends vainly sought his release so that he might witness the production of his "Machine Wreckers" and his "Mass of Men." both of which attained considerable success in Germany and which have been sold for American presentation. The Reichstag was petitioned without success for his temporary release to see the plays last year. Efforts to win freedom for him so that he might see the initial production in Leipsic of his new play, "The German War were also fruitless. Critics say the plot has deficiencies.

which Toller might have corrected had he been able to see the play acted on the stage. Toller's previous dramas have dealt with the fate of the working class. "The German War Cripple." which is the story of a wounded veteran who is forsaken by his wife, is devoted to a discussion of the fate of the individual under, the conditions arising from the war. Anarchists, politicians, Socialists and idealists become involved in a general debate in the course of which the plot is obscured. Apparently the playwright's conclusion is that organi- only parties and changes in social zation are useless.

SCHWARZ'S KIL-VE BESTROYS VERMIN ON CHILDREN'S HEADS FASCISTI IN NAPLES ASK FOR PADOVANI'S RETURN AS LEADER Captain Expelled From the Organization Last May by Order of Premier. Naples, Oct. 8---At a great meeting of Fascisti held here last evening it was unanimously voted that an address of loyalty and esteem be sent to Premier Mussolini, expressing the wish that on the coming occasion of the anniversary of the Fascisti march on Rome, Captain Padovani be re. instated as commander of the Naples Fascisti zone.

It was pointed out that as the commanders of the Fascisti militia were not permitted now to take part in politics it wou'd be impossible for such an incident as that which caused Captain Padovani's resignation to recur. Captain Padovani and his adherents, comprising a large section of the party in Naples, tendered their resignations last May because they considered the decision of the Fascisti to admit the Nationalist deputy, Rocco, to membership meant the introduction of revolutionary elements in Fascismo. In retaliation, Premier Mussolini decreed the expulsion from the Fescisti of Captain Padovani and his followers, making an example of a man who had been one of his close friends in order to maintain discipline in the Fascismo ranks. of in W.
