FIGHTING TIME ON FIFTH AVENUE
Big Crowd of Foreign Element Seek6
to Celebrate Success of Radical

New York World.
About four thousand Socialists were i
ma rehire on Kiltli Avenue last night
toward Carnegie Hall to celebrate
tbc Socialist involution in 'Jrnnaiiv
when at 45th street four of them,
waving red raas above their land*,
shouted. "Down with militarism!
Down with soldiers!"
They picked a had .-pot. for on the

"I)own with those red flags!" cried
a ((trapping member of the soldiery.
"There's only one flag to he carried in
this country now!"

The Socialists Jeered and repented:
^ "IVnvn with militarism!"
W That was suffice nt tor the boys in

section of the parade. tipped
away every red tlag they could lay
their hands on. broke the stick and
tliivw the bunting on the asphalt.
The parnders swarmed about the
transport men. Tin- male marchers
punched and kicked at tlniu; the- women
"coinindes" screamed and ton
at the soldiers' hair and clothing.
There were a hundred Reds trying to
get at the soldiers. Hut the transport
men battered their way out of the
circle. Just as there was a cry of:
"Here we come fellows:" and three
hluojAi kcts from the Navy Yard cut
into the frav. bent on the rescue of
the Army men.
. That was the beginning of u not
that extended tip Fifth Avenue to 57th
Street and across that thoroughfare
to the doom of Carnegie Hull.
Soldiers and Sailors seemed to
spring front everywhere. They commandeered

alone the avenue. anil tvhi'iiever

blue they would yell: "Hoy, folia'" or
"Il? y, shlpmalo! Count on! Down with
thoso dirty rod fines!"
Thoro were hundreds of soldiers and
sailors Katlirnil in no time. From
block to block they would jump from
thotr machines. order the Reds to
lower their banners, and if they refused
(which they generally did?and the
women most violently) the lighting
men would tear their flaps from their
hands and trnmpln upon (hunt.

liveliest kind of fighting. At 4*th
Street, a lone bluejacket was knoeked
down and surrounded by three paraders,
who apparently were about to
kick him when a young Second Lieutenant
whipped off his topcoat, handed
it to the plrl he was walking with,
and wont to the sailor's aid.
From the vantage |K>int of a hurriedly
chartered taxi a reporter for
The World, who was following the meh
e, saw one of the prettiest boxing exhibitions
he ever had beheld outside
a ring. The slender young officer
made just six moves?two for each
of the three I teds. First he feinted
with bis right for the body and broueht
down the hands of his opponents.
Tin n ho shot over a swift, wicked left
hook to the jaw.
Kach of the three got the same
treatment?and went down.
The Lieutenant picked up the sailor,
saw he wasn't hurt, snapped hack a
salute in return for the bluejacket's
thanks and went placidly on his way
with the girl.
At l!)th Street, a veritable spitfire
of a uirl. who wore a rod hat. n rod

swore at a soldier who grabbed her

Civilians Aided Soldiers.
Here ami there civilians joined with
tho soldiers and sailors, hut mostly
they kept away, realizing that the uniformed
men were currying out their
self-appointed Job in thorough fashIon.
From motor ears and from the
to|? of houses men and women shouted
encouragement to the service lads.
leaders of the Socialists, in the middle
of the turmoil, ran up and down the
linos shouting for their followers to
. lower their tlags and conceal them:
r but by this time there were not a great
many left.
When the procession turned into 5?th
street only a couple of flags in each
block were to bo observed, and these
were hastily hidden when a uniformed
man appeared. There was many a Red
nursing memoirs of the conflict, however.
Hero ami there along the avenue
was a patroilmnn. but they, like the
civilians, kept away from the muss.
There was only one arrest. Harry
Flare, eighteen, of No. 2.r>5 West 19th
Street, was taken into custody on the
complaint of Socialist Assemblyman
August Classens, charged with disorderly
conduct, in having torn flags
from the hands of women marchers.

trate McQuade. In the North Court, a
hundred or more soldiers and sailors
followed the act as witness for him.
If necessary. After Classens ami some
Socialists had told of the hoy's tearing
the flags. Magistrate McQuade asked:
"What sort of flag was it you took
away?"
"The red flag. Judge?thay call it
the International flag." said Flore. |
"Hiocbarged!" said the magistrate.
"Hoo-ray!M yelled the sailor. Jumping

It was a massive castle standing at

Gothic architectural construction. It
is used now as the United States naval
barracks, and being put to naval
uses It was given a naval christening
as the U. 8. 8. C&rola. It Is no nickname,
but Is the accepted title known
to all. officers and men.
Being christened as a United States
iT ship, even the battlements have become
decks. When down In tlje old

"This way sir, to the main, deck." .

u? A HUGE SEA MONSTER.
>d Landed After a Struggle of Two Daya
a and Nights.
r
B_ The following is taken from the
Tampa Daily Times:
Uj I rimii^u uii* tininrpj vi mc n iu?
^ World Magazine. Captain Thompson
is permitted to publish the artist's
t_ donception of his thrilling: battle with
the deep sea monster, which lasted
? for two days and a night and which
was the most nerve-racking experience
| that ever befell mariner or sportsman.
In the terrible ordeal which followed.
>6
Captain Thompson lost sixteen pounds
of weight tts a result of the terrific
strain and was near complete cxhaustlon
before his capture was safely
h landed. The creature's enormous
strength was evidenced by the fact
that it knocked the stern, rudder and
propeller off a thirty-one ton yacht
while in a dying condition. It also
knocked 16 feet of temporary piling
from undernenth the trestle of the
lr
[o Florida Bast Coast railway at Knights
Key, Ha. These facts are authentic
;r
j. and can be verified.
The monster was forty-five feet long
and weighed thirty thousand pounds.
Its liver alone weighed 1,700 pounds,
* or more than ten full grown men put
together.
^ It is twenty-three feet around tho
body and Its tail measured ten feet
from tip to tip.
^ It had swallowed an octopus weighr
ing 1,500 pounds, which was still alive
( in its stomach when caught.
It could have swallowed twenty
.tonahs without suffering the slightest
pangs of indigestion.
It smashed a boat into thousands
l~ of pieces and crushed the rudder and
propeller of a thirly-one-ton yacht
with a single swish of Its mighty tall,
t Five harpoon thrusts and 150 large
calibre rifle bullets only served to InUrease
its fury and it took five days
^ tb finally kill It.
The battle lasted thirty-nine hours
?two days and a night?in open sea
1 with the monster dragging a small
ijoat at expness .tr^iu spysd^foi him
uf CQB f OI ?
; Smithsonian authorities believe that
n t^ifc creature waa an inhabitant of
I <ieptha more than 1.500 feet below the
sjirfuco and that if. was blown up by
some subterranean or volcanic upMearal
which injured its diving aps"
paratus so It waa unable to return to
its native depths.
0 Its hide is three Inches thick and enabled
to withstand the most enormous
water pressure, a pressure almost Inconceivable
to men. Its eyes, which
are very small, have no lids and are
never closed. Indicating that It lived
at a depth where eyes were of
r" no avail.
The creature is not classified in
18 nritural history, the genus or species
18 li unknown and it is not only the most
y remarkable zoological specimen, but
'e the largest specimen of the fish tribe
:e known in history.
i(* Although the largest fish ever cap!l)
tured, scientists claim it was only a
II lxtby of its tribe and if It had llted to
aAUiin full growth It would have been
l& two and a half times as large.
Kvcry undertaking establishment on
the Florida east coast from Jacksonlc
vllle to Key West, gave up their enl"
tiro supply of formaldehyde to preie
sferve the monster and over nineteen
16 tjarrcls were uted.
y* it was mounted- by J. S. Warmbeth,
ir the celebrated taxidermist of the
Hrrithsonian institution, who was also
chosen to accompany Admiral Peary
on his famous trip to the Pole.
r* it Is now exhibited in Tampa, at the
a city dock In front of tire Tampa Bay
rc hotel, on board Captain Thompson's
