(By Leased Wire to The Times) .(New York, July 28. Five thou sand men and ,, women rioters today fought a pitched battle with police, strike-breakers and special guards about the Williamsburg plant of the American Sugar Refining Company, At least one man was killed, another was fatally stabbed and twenty-five were seriously hurt. The police fired point blank into the crowd as, led by screaming women, it attacked a band of non-union men being taken into the factory under guard. There were ..reports that several had been killed and their bodies carried away, : . Ihe police opened fire after the mob had showered brick bats from the roofs tf the houses lining the route followed by the strike-breakers who were taken across the East river from Manhattan. An attempt to send out pon-union drivers, from the ", re finery aggravated the trouble."' :- When the situation was ominous the crack of a pistol' In the hands of a rioter started the most serious trouble. Within a few moments the battle was on, the police shooting to kill. ' : ; Back and forth through the streets about the big plant the struggle waged, men on each side falling every minute. "Bend more reserves," was the call flashed to police headquarters again and again and within a short time the entire WilllamBburg district of Brooklyn, and contiguous sec tions, had been drained of all avail' able iolice. '-..-. Rev. Father William B. Farrell, of St Paul and Peter Roman Catholic Church, did more to stop the riot than any one "else. . "My good people, go home!" he shouted. "I beg of you to stop. One of your number Is dead and a num ber are. injured. Go home and be peaceful. Cease Interfering with these people." v , Dozens ot the rioters took off their hats. Women knelt In the streets and began praying. The priest's words had won out. The rioting sud-' denly came to an end. But half an hour later it was resumed -when the police tried to drive the crowds out i '. (Continued On Page Five.) CHILD KILLED BY : DOUBLED AY AUTO (By Leased Wire to The Times) Oyster Bay; N. T July 28 Knocked down by' a fast speeding, automobile whose owner was on the Way to keep an appointment with Colonel Roose velt at Sagamore Hill, little Anna Hempstead, three and one half years old, was , killed instantly just before noon today. The car, one of the large -touring kind, -was occupied . by F, M. ' Dotibledajr of tfhe publishing firm of Doubleday Page & Company, and his chauffeur. Mr. Doubleday was on. his way from hhr summer home at Locust Valley, to the Roosevelt residence. .About (She mile away from Sagamore Hill, the little Hempstead girl, play ing among the bushes at the road side, suddenly : walked into; the', middle of the; road as though ,to touch the swiftly moving car. She was struck and thrown twenty feet. . "Mr. Doubleday immediately stopped, and although the girl was dead, speed ed with her to the nearest physlcan, where h was 'pronounced beyond hope. ' So' ' overwhelmed ' was, Mr. Doubleday because of the acident that he abandoned his trip to Sagamore Hill, and returned to his own" home, although It had been his Intention to proceed to Ilia - place of business In Harding the Nominee for Governor Owens' Brewery Stock and It is Said the Prohibition Interests Are Against Him. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Columbus, 0., July 28. With the republicans standing on a platform that gives unqualified support to President Taft, and Warren G. Hard ing, choice of the . Taft-Foraker forces, chosen gubernatorial candl date, leading politicians today de clared that the liquor interest would play an important part in the coming campaign. Though he has supported local option in the paper he owns at Marion, Mr. Harding owns brewery stock, and for that reason the strong opposition of the" powerful anti-saloon Interests is declared pos sible by the wiseacres. A clear-cut statement of his atti tude toward liquor Is demanded . of Mr. Hard pig, according to the after math-gossip of the convention. Intrenched in office and cheered by two gubernatorial victories in five years, the democrats, headed" by Governor Harmon, taking up the bat tle to beat the G. O. P. in Taft's home state, have already laid their plans. They say that Boss George hi. Cox, of Cincinnati, who is -op posed by the drys, virtually gave Harding nomination by withdrawing his support from Judge Orren Britt Brown, of Dayton, on the third bal lot. . The hottest struggle of a genera tion in Ohio is expected during the campaign. in this the saloon interests are declared to. be an important factor also,' for if Harding takes a stand against them,' it is believed that they will throw their support in another direction, materially weakening the republican position. "Boss Cox himself could not swing Hamilton county to Harding if the latter makes no statement of his li quor attitude," said one of the Cin clnnati delegation today. r The real attitude of Cox is one of the enigmas of the situation. Many of the most influential of his oppo nents today did not hesitate to say that they fear the course he may pur. sue in the campaign. They point to tne fact that Cox gave Harmon a big majority in his bailiwick in the last fight for the governorship Those who dislike Cox profess to see a sufficient motive for the repetition of such a course in the Cincinnati Boss known. Ill-feeling over the at tack made on him by Mr. Taft when ue was secretary of war. That has rankled ever since, admit' Cox's lieutenants. And Harding was back ed first and last by the Taft-Foraker forces, the support of Congressman Nicholas Longworth being to a great extent tentative, according to today's developments. , The attitude of Theodore Roose velt, Longworth's father-in-law, ,v is one of the chief, topics of th'e groups that still gather about .the political headquarters here. The radical republicans profess to believe with good cause that Mr. Roosevelt would, have taken the stump in Ohio had James R. Garfield,, ex-secretary of the treasury and con servation leader, been named or if Longworth had decided to make a hot fight and bad won. The failure of the pltaform adopted to speak strongly for a tariff commission and others of his measures precludes the possibility of Roosevelt's taking an active part in the campaign for the next, few weeks according to the latest information handed out by the spokesman-, of Raoeeveltism. J Another factor in the attitude of the ex-president is his long-standing animosity to Senator Foraker, whose supporters united with those of Taft to name Harding. ..' -, x- TAILOR KILLED HIS WIFE.

' ; (Special Cable to The Times.) Madrid, July 28, Diplomatic re lations between Spain and the Vatican were broken off today. Today's break is the outcome of the bitter struggle that has been waged in the last few weeks between Premier Canalejas and the clerical forces. King Alfonso supported the premier. The crux of the matter lies In the desire of tae government to have other churches than those be longing to the Catholic church per mitted to display their religious in signia. ' The'-situation . is all the more re markable because of the fact that the Vatican's diplomatic affairs are in the hands of " a Spaniard, Cardinal Merry Del A'al. No new agreement or legislation was demanded, the government sim ply announcing a new construction of one clause in the concordat, by which the rights of the: Catholics to the sole use of insignia is now re stricted to processions in the streets. The present remarkable situation between Rome and the country that has for centuries been regarded as the most stalwart stronghold of the church is indirectly due to the civil warfare of a year ago, including the Ferrer case. The previous ministries failed because ..they'. (Sid not satisfy the public radical demand for a stand against the clericals. This Canalejas, a radical, has taken, with the aid of Alfonso. Religious" processions : are being held and special prayers for the res toration of the entente have been oruered for all churches. -" ' Crowds began to gather at several points in Madrid as the news spread. Canalejas was denounced by speak ers. '''''.: The radical papers this afternoon comment exultantly, condemning Cardinal Merry Del Val, and refer ring to the several recent disputes in which the Vatican has been involved, including the Roosevelt incident and the withdrawal of the pope's recent cyclical which aroused a storm of protest in Germany, as well as tue dispute with Portugal. : WESTERN UNION CHANGES.
