TEMPJElLTEaE AT EACH IIOUB
TTT
Continued from race One
tho screams of terrified women made the
affair most dramatic. According to tho
police, tho row started as a fist fight, when
O'Mullin, who had been beset by all four,
backed against a wall and, drawing his
revolver, shouted that he would shoot the
first man who approached him.
SHOTS SCARE peddstrians.
Then started a rapid gunfire that scat
tered pedestrians In all dlrccMons, crying
In terror for the police. Ono by one each
of the four men dashed at O'Mullin with
the hope of wresting the pistol from his
hand. Qno by ono they went down under
his fire. Lieutenant Myers, of the 16th and
Vine streets station, says O'Mullin fired
flvo shots. Four of tho five took effect.
With a single bullet In his pistol, O'Mul
lin Jumped over tho four wounded men
nnd Btarted a wild dash north on 20th
street. For half a squaro he was unpur
sued. Then men ran from shops and homes
and started after him, full cry. Mean
while Street Sergeant Gregory, of tho 15th
and Vine streets station, who had heard
the shots, arrived on tho run. Ho first tele
phoned for three patrol wagons.
Ho called for aid and was Joined by tho
Lieutenant and Detective Kcoliune. O'Mul
lin had disappeared, but the police had
not been searching many minutes when
two badly frightened women, at 211 North
20th street, Informed them that a man had
rushed Into their home and was hiding un,
dor a bed.
With pistols drawn, the police went to
the third floor. They know the fugitive
had one shot left, and took no chnnces.
Three pistols were poked under tho bed
and Lieutenant Myers ordered his man to
crawl out. He did to, a badly crumpled,
dust-covered figure. But he still had the
gun In his hand.
O'Mullin told a rambling story while en
route to tho police station. He was highly
excited and Incoherent, nnd muttered asser
tions that the gang had been "laying" for
him because of a raw over a woman whose
name the police Have been unable to learn.
He declared that the fist fight and subse
quent shooting were tho climax of an
argument over the Irish rebellion. The
wounded In the hospital could not be ques
tioned, and O'Mullln'B story was discon
nected.' It was commencement night at the Med-lco-Chlrurgical
Hospital and visitors were
being shown dver the Institution. When the
three patrol wa'gonB rattled up to the hos
pital door freighted with wounded men ex
citement ran high.
The two less seriously -wounded were
quickly treated, while Casey and McOln
ley were hustled Into the wards.
O'Mullin was locked up on tho. formal
charge Of aggravated assault and battery,
with Intent to kill. The police are not
certain where O'Mullin Is employed, but
it was said last night he was connected
with the Winchester Arms Company.

When he returned tho Interior of tho build
ing was enveloped In flames. Efforts by
tho principal and 'his assistant were made
to save some of the books and office equip
ment, but only several typewriters were
brought from tho structure.
Tho old section of tho building was tho
first to go, the flooring and stone walls
tumbling In about an hour after tho flro
was first discovered. Walls of tho new
section, however, aro still standing.
Practically tho entire vlllago turned out
to help In fighting the flames. School was

with Inquiries ns to his condition,
"nilly" Van Ostcn Is ns much a landmark

meeting voted to empower tho standing com
mittee, headed by Harry V Flynn, the

trying to tamper with tho exccutlvo commit
teemen wero lodged by Ellis Morgan, of
tho Willow Grove bnrn, and Samuel Ulnlte,
of the 10th nnd Luzerne streets bnrn. 'Ac
cording to them, emissaries, who said they
represented the company, had approached
them and offered them JCO n month and ex

Rice Has Big Task
History (oxerythlng along tho Hudson it
historic) proves that Rice had a blow-out
par excellence to repair this season. The
story goes that after last year's frightful
rowing calamity from tho Columbia view
point a now order of things tooR over tho
management bf Columbia's rowing. From
being picked for first and landing much
nearer to last was enough cither to kill or
stir up graduato Interest Columbia chose
graduate Interest and work was begun to
right wrongs.
Last fall It would seem from tho returns
of the Columbia-Yale race, which ended In
that order with tho hyphen representing n
boat length or two, that tho new order
provalleth and Columbia men got real
chesty. Tho historic days of 1896 nnd 1914
wero recalled with somo eclnt. Then fall
turned to winter nnd winter to spring and
Columbia turned Its rowing oyes to
Philadelphia.
Tho dato was May 13, and tho scene the
Schuylkill River. Tho plot tho Chllds' Cup
races Principals wero Princeton, recent
conqueror of Harvard In a mathematical
finish of six Inches ; the Navy, winner over
Pcnn ; Pennsylvania Itself, a victor over
Yale and Columbia. Columbia did beat ,out
Pcnn Her race cheered tho sight of her
adherents until tho half-way mark. Thero
was the blow-out.
Leys Sent to Stroke
James C. Rico Is no respecter of per
sons or of things. Not to bo set back by
the railroads and tho Columbia faculty tn
his carly-blrd-catches-the-worm policy, ho
wns not to let a mere captain prevent him
from executing his plans. Bang! In no
time Captain Bratton, stroke oar of tho
Columbia varsity against Yalo nnd ngalrfst
Pcnn, but decidedly not against Princeton
and tho Navy, was picked up bodily and
placed where lie belonged at No. 6, his
seat of a year ago.
The young man elected by tho coach to
olghts, all defeated. With this material
