Over Hundred Thousand Obeyed
Strike Order In Quaker City.
Philadelphia. March 8. Tho police
made n careful canvass of tho city's
Industries to ascertain the number of
men on Btrlkc. The returns tabulated
and mado public by Director Clay
showed that 18,407 persons had re
sponded to the strike call.
Tho poUce did not attempt to ex
plain tho discrepancy between these
figures and those of labor leaders,
who say 100,000 or 125,000 men are
on strike. They declared that tbelr
AnncsTED AKTnn nEivo uevrrw.
tctal was the result of an actual com
putation based on tho returns of a
ccinplete canvass and spoke for Itself.
Tho labor lenderB scoffed at the po
lice figures and declhrcd they were
something like 100,000 too low. Ac
cording to the police, establishments
affected by the sympathetic strike em
ploy 54,954 hands.
Four thousand' men and women at
tended a mass meeting of the strikers
In Labor Lyceum. Pratt, Mahon, Mur
phy, Tracey and other lenders ad
dressed tho crowd. The city admin
istration was bitterly denounced for
Its attitude In the p-csent crll and
the speakers wiro specially vehe
ment in .r.t'rlsing tht employment of
negro policemen. On of theni said"
"Our rulers hRVP put n club Into
the black Inan's hnnds with which to
club out the white man's brains."
Tho assertion by soveral speakers
that the present fight was one for or
ganized lnbor'B very existence In
Philadelphia evoked a noisy demon
stration. iMfohitlons calling upon every
man. n-on and child In Philadelphia
to qu'I work were adopted with cheers.
As tho crowds wore leaving the hall
there wat a grave outbutst of disor
der. Sneral cars wore stoned in
front of tho place. The police, of
which there wore nt least fifty within
the radius of a square, charged the
crowd, which was, however, so dense
that it dispersed Blowly.
The bluecoats swung their clubs,
felling several persons to the ground,
three of whom wore so seriously bent
en that they wero taken to a hos
pital. When the police fired thejr re
volvers several times in the air, the
people scattered in all directions. Six-
arrests wero made.

POSTAL BANK BILL PASSED
Division In Si Mate Is Strictly on
Party Linos.
WMltlntlon, March 7. Dividing
practically upon party lines, tho sen
ate passed the administration postal
fivinga bank bill.
Of the evanty-two TOtos cast, fifty
wore In favor or the bill and twenty
two ngnjnst. All tho negative votoB
wore cast by Democrats. Senator
Chnmberlaln of Oregon was the only
Democrat who stood with tho Repub
lienns In favor of tho bill.
As it goes to the house, the bill au
thorizes the various money order post
offices to nccopt sums of $1 or more
from depositors and to deposit those
sums In the local banks, where the
money Is to remain unless withdrawn
by .tho president in case of wnr or
other exigency. In case of this with
drawal tho funds are to be Jnvested In
government securities, but with tho
proviso thnt such securities shall not
draw less than 2Vi per cent Interest.
The control of the funds 1b vested In
n board of trustees composed of the
postmaster general, the secretary of
tho treasury and tho attorney general.
Tho aggregate balance allowed to any
depositor Is $500, and no person is
permitted to doposit more than $100
In any one month. The government
Ib required to pay 2 per cent Interest
and must exact not less than 2Vc per
cent from tho banks, the extra quar
ter of 1 per cent being required for
the payment of expenses and losses.
It Jb calculated that such a law would
bring much money out of hiding and
result in n fund ranging all the way
from $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,000

MRS.GUDAHYTELLSOFATTACK.
Wife of Millionaire Packd- Says She
and Banker Had Been Auto Riding
and Assault Followed Their Return
Home General Cowin Declares
Daughter Is Innocent of Any Wrong.
Kansns City, March 8. Jero S. Lu
lls, president of tho Western Exchange
bank, who was assaulted by John l
Oudahy, the millionaire packer, when
the latter found tho banker in his
home Sunday morning, will not prose
cute his assailant.
Charges of disturbing the peace,
preferred against Cudahy by Bryan
Underwood, a poficeman who inter
rupted the punishment of the noc
turnal visitor, will probably bo dis
missed with a nominal fine when tho
case comes to trial March 15. This
will end the affair Insofar as punish
ment for Cudahy is concerned.
Judgo W. T. Johnson, legal repre
sentative of LjUls, made known that
there would be no prosecution of Cud
ahy. "Wo have no desiro to take any
legal steps against Cudahy," he said.
"There will be no prosecution."
Llllls' condition is Improving rapid
ly Nurses at St. Mary's hospital said
ho would be able to bo removed to his
home today. Ills wounds wl'l be slow
Jn healing, it is believed, but they will
not provo serious.
Mr. Cudahy has taken npartments
at tho Coates house, a downtown ho
tel. He refuses to say whether ho
will return to his home. Efforts to
locate John Moss, the chauffeur, who
is believed by Mrs. Cudahy to have
disclosed tho presence of Mr. Llllls at
tho house, has proven unsuccessful.
Mrs. Cudahy Has Black Eye.
Mrs. Cudahy mado a brief state
ment. One of her eyes Is badly swol
len, which she said was done Satur
day night. She said Llllls had pur
chased a new runabout and she was
tho llrst to ride in it when jt canto
Friday, nnd again Saturday, on tho
latter day going to the Baltimore, both
times accompanied by LUIIb. They
went riding again Saturday night. Pre
vious to these rides, Cudnhy had an
nounced his intention of go.lng out of
town. When she and Llllls returned
front their evening ride they wont into
the library. Almost immediately Cud
ahy and Chauffeur Moss entered,
seized Llllls and began boating Mm
Cudahy struck him with an electric
Boarehljght. Thetl sho rushed up stnlrs
and Iator Cudahy rushed up and
struck her on the loft oyo with the
searchlight. Ho went back again and
the maids told her they were cutting
Llllls with a knife. She telephoned
for the police. In the meantime Cud
ahy and tho chauffour took turns beat
ing Llllls, she said, until the police
came.
General Cowin Defends Daughter.
Into tho arms of her father, Gen
oral John C Cowin of Omaha, an at
tornoy of national reputation, Mrs.
Cudahy rurhed at her home last night.
Tho general arrived here on an even
ing trnjn and went nt once to the Cud
shy home, where his daughter had
been waiting for htm since Sunday
morning, when she telephoned him to
some at once Not realizing what had
happened, General Cowin delayed his
departure. Another message ftom his
daughter cnusod him to hasten.
Briefly, Mrs. Cudahy told her story
to her father. It was practically the
same sho gave out In n statement. Ac
cording to her story, she and Llllls had
been automob,Ue riding, returned home
and were seated In tho library resting,
when Cudnhy entered.
General Cowin was much affected by
Mb daughter's story, !
"My daughter Is Innocent," he said,
firmly. "I am as certain of that as 1 1
am of the virtue of Jesus Christ."
"I regret exceedingly that Cudahy,
was so cowardly as to say 'he has
rulnod my homo.' Tie did this for his
own protection. Why did he not think
of these dear children, who tpust suf
fer front th.'s untrue statement."
The ger.c-tnl was unable to say
whether a divorce would result from
the trouble In the Cudahy household.
