Crowds Gather to See
Victory Arch Razed
New York, Doe. 2. —Demolition of
the Victory Arch, the wood and
plaster memorial to America's war
veterans, which has bridged Fifth
avenue at Twenty-fourth street for
several months, was started yester
day. Workmen of the Garden City
Wrecking Company began by tear
ing down the horse group from the
top of the arch. Most of the figures
were lowered by pulleys to the
street, but the crowd that bad gath
ered was shocked and startled when
the last equestrian figure was
brought crashing to the pavement,
by hitching a rope to the horse and
tying the other end to a motortruck,
which started up the avenue.
Police had established a line on
the west side of the arch, diverting
traffic down Twenty-fifth street to
the Worth Monument, and thence
down Broadway. Fifth avenue in
that vicinity is covered with plaster,
which trucks are removing as fast as
they can loud up with the remains
of the artistic effort. The work, it
is believed, will be finished within
a week.
His Blood Saves Her,
Though Shot Kills Love
Washington, Dec. 2.—Mrs. Flor
ence A. Robinson, shot by Orover
Cleveland Gordon, who had alienat

from the would-be assassin's veins.
After a quarrel Gordon started to
leave the home of the Robinson wo
man, grabbed her by the hair, drew
lier to him and shot her through
the body with a revolver. Seeing
that the victim of his jealousy would
likely die if heroic methods to save
her were not used, Gordon offered
his blood.
"I love the woman too much to
ki'l her," said he. "I will try to
expiate my insane act. I will sacri
fice every drop of blood in my body
and give my life to save lier."
Mrs. Robinson told those at her
bedside she hoped Gordon would
get what is coming to him for trving
to kill her.
