CHEAT BRITAIN'S EYE
ON AMERICA'S CUP
Early Challenge For Another
Race Expected.
YACTING CIRCLES STIRRED.
There Is Talk of a Syndicate to Build
New Defender, Though Constitution
or Columbia May Possibly Again Be
Used Against Challenger.
New York, Sept. 1.—Expectation of
an early challenge from Great Brit
ain for another International yacht
race for the America’s cup has stirred
up speculation in yachting circles.
Much secrecy surrounds the plans for
the English challenger and the inten
tions of the New York Yacht club also
are shrouded in mystery.
Thene is talk of a syndicate to build
a new defender, but it is certain that
August Belmont and the yachtsmen
associated with him in the ownership
of the Constitution will take no part
in a new craft. They believe that
the Constitution can be improved so
that it will be much faster than last
year. However, it is argued that the
club may feel itself in duty bound to
build still another defender and not
trust too implicitly to the Constitu
tion and Columbia, as, should the chal
lenger beat either of these, the club
might come in for much adverse crit
icism.
There is no lack of patriotism or
money in the club, and just as soon
as the challenge comes to hand vig
orous action may be expected.
. SAVED FROM WATER FAMINE.
Girls Discover Big Break in Time to
Prevent Serious Damage.
Malden, Mass., Sept. 1.—Presence of
mind and courage on the part of a
young womato has saved a large part
of Malden, and Chelsea, Revere, Ever
ett and Nahant from a water famine.
The young woman’s name is Miss
Jennie Powell. While riding a bicy
cle up Maiji street, Malden, she almost
ran into a break of the 80-inch main
of the metropolitan water system
which flooded territory adjacent to
Main street, and, hailing the first man
she met, called upon him to telephone
the news of the accident to the proper
authorities at the headquarters of the
water department.
“Looking ahead of me,” she ex
plained, “I saw a column of water
shooting up into the air like a geyser.
I had just time to turn my wheel to
avoid the rush of the stream which
came pouring down Main street.
“I turned out and around in time
to escape injury, however, and rode to
the nearest telephone. The water
station was notified of the accident,
and I reached home unhurt.”
So far as the flood itself was con
cerned, it was not so resultant in ac
tual damage as in the possibilities it
presented of several towns becoming
cut off from their water supply.

RIOT ON TROLLEY CARS.
Dozens of Men, Women and Children
Injured.
New York, Sept. 1.—A large party
returning from the Zion cemetery,
Queens county, to this city, became
involved in a riot, and about two doz
en men, women and children were
injured.
The trouble slanted shortly after the
three trolley cars had left the ceme
tery for Long Island City ferry. The
conductor of one of the cars, finding
it impossible to collect fare from a
passenger, brought the car to a stop.
An argument ensued during which
the conductor was struck on the head
with a loaded cane. He called to the
motorman, while the passengers ral
lied around their comrade. Employes
from other cars hurried forward and
a fierce fight ensued. Passengers
who were not armed with canes drew
trowels which some had brought from
home to use in the cemetery.
After a drawn battle the passengers
resumed their seats and the car pro
ceeded.
The trouble broke out afresh when
Calvary cemetery was reached. This
time the motormen and conductors
were reinforced, and got the better of
the argument.
Finally the cars were hoarded again
and reached Long Island City without
trouble. There were a dozen women
In the party who were hysterical and
had to be treated before they cow’d
resume their journey home. Three
arrests were made.

The Madison avenue car, crowded
with passengers, stopped at One Hun
dred and Sixteenth street to allow
some one to disembark. It immedi
ately started agnin, although a west
bound car was about to cross the av
enue tracks under full headway. Both
motormen seeing a collision was
imminent, attempted to stop their
cars, but before they could do so the
cars crashed together.
