    VIOLENCE MARKS CAR
STRIKE IN CLEVELAND
System Tied Up Early Today
by Failure of Wage
Agreement.
OPERATORS ARE ASSAULTED
Union Mobs Create Disturb
ances in Various Parts
of the City.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 19.—Cleveland's
street car system was tied up at E
O’clock today, by an almost unanimous
vote of the local union of the Amalga
mated Association of Street and Elec
tric Railway employes. The strike
is a result of the failure of the munici
pal traction company, lessees of the
consolidated lines of the city, and the
employes to come to an agreement over
the matter of wages and other alleged
grievances.
About 300 motormen and conductors
•formerly employed by the Forest City
company, the original 3-cent fare line,
did not Join in the strike. There are
also quite a large number of men em
ployed on other lines, who did not quit
Work. The latter are largely made up
at men who have been broken In since
-the strike first was threatened about
10 days ago.
On many lines there was no attempt
■ made to run the cars early today, al
though later an occasional car was
manned and sent out from the barns.
These cars are generally greeted by
boots and yells from the throngs of
working people, who are walking to
their places of employment.
Smash Windows.
At the corner of Superior avenue and
fcast One Hundred and Fifth street, a
large crowd collected. When a car
bound downtown appeared about half
:he car windows were smashed. The
police rescued the motorman and the
conductor and prevented further trou
ble.
A large crowd at the Lake View
barns attacked the non-union crews
when attempts were made to send out
some cars. In the melee a score of
men are reported to have been clubbed.
Chief Hohler and a number of -officers
were rushed to the scene in autorao
olles and dispersed the crowd. Hohler
was struck in the neck with a stone,
out was not seriously hurt.
Cut Off Trolley.
An attempt to run some cars on the
Payne avenue line was early frustrated
by the strike sympathizers. They took
away the controller lever of the ear,
pulled down the trolley and cut off the
trolley rope. The motorman and con
ductor left the car standing In the
street, and later It was hauled back to
the barns.
At the junction of the Collinwood
& Euclid Beach lines in the eastern
suburb, the switch point was broken
off the telephone pole and thrown
across the tracks, effectually tying
up progress of the cars In that sec
tion for the time being.
A mob of strike sympathizers armed
with crowbars and other tools attempted
to tear up the street railway tracks
on St. Clair avenue this morning. The
mob dispersed, however, before much
headway had been made. The crew
of a car on the St. Clair avenue line
were dragged from the car by the
same mob. The conductor was badly
beaten. The conductor and motorman
finally were rescued by the police.
The leaders of the street car men’s
union claim that while negotiations
have been under way looking to the
arbitration of differences, the company
;has systimatically laid off the old union
men, reducing them to the extra list
and supplanted them with Forest City
‘ men. and had given every indication
that It was the purpose of the
Municipal Traction company to force
(the union men out of service and use
arbitration only as a cloak for the de
Jay.

“horse-back rides for field officers of the
rest of the army. President Roosevelt
today opened his campaign, which is
to rejuvenate the army and make Its

ssort that is needed in time of war.
The coast artillery field officers not
being equipped with steeds on which
to perform their duties in operating the
big defense batteries, deemed It un
fitting that they be required to enter
Into a three-day horse-back ride. They
accordingly were given three days to
reel off 50 miles on foot, orders not be
ing specific as to whether they are to
take a straight away course or put In
the distance by describing successive
pedestrian circles around the drill that

Mrs. Wieland Leaves New York
With First Installment of
600 Youngsters.
New York, May 18.—Mrs. Florence
Falrvlew Wieland, graceful In a gown
of her soul color white and pale blue,
her cheery face attuned—she said to
herself—to her prenatal vibration, and
emitting chromatic harmony at every
step, lightly tripped away from New
York today with the first Install lent of
children who are to be reared in her
vibratory bab'- farm at Rensselaer, N.
Y., and among other things to learn
to work as soon as they can walk.
The husband of Mrs. Florence Fair
view Wieland trailed along dubiously,
but admiringly, with a youngster on
each arm vainly trying to corral the
proper vibration that would enable him
to believe that infants are not heavy.
At last accounts it looked as if he were
still trying.
No, thev were not his own. His own
children have had to do their own walk
ing for quite a while. They carried
stove wood at 18 months and were rais
ing squashes and learning to plow at
2H years.
Mrs. Wieland's plan is to revolution
ize the world In rearing babies as far as
she can by bringing up 600 of them at
the rate of 60 a year.
HISTORIC MEETING
COMES TO A CLOSE
...
Washington, May 18.—A pretty In
cident showing how humanity is break
ing down party barriers to humanity
and indicative of the affection and
esteem in which our only living ex
president is held, marked the closing
session of President Roosevelt's his
toric conference of governors at the
White House today.
William Jennings Bryan offered the
following resolution:
: “Resolved. That this confer- :
: ence expresses its deepest regret :
: that ex-Presldent Cleveland :
: was prevented by sickness from :
: participating in this historic :
: meeting, and expresses its sin- :
: cere wish for his speedy re- :
: covery.” :
At President Roosevelt's sug
gestion the resolution was adopted by
acclamation.
The last day of the conference was
fully attended.
President Roosevelt called the con
ference to order at 10:15.
The Resolutions.
Governor Blanchard, of I„outsiana,
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions, presented the report of the com
mittee. The report which is an extended
document embraces recommendations
along general broad lines, avoiding
specific recommendations for national
or state legislatures. The report is
prefaced by a reiteration of what has
been said in the conference regarding
necessity for united action which will
result in the preservation of the nat
ural resources of the country. It
heartily commends the action of the
president in calling the conference, and
recommends future conferences of like
character to be called by the president
at such times as conditions shall war
rant and his judgment shall sanction.
Legislation by congress and states is
suggested, not specifically, but along
general lines, to further the ends
sought, it is also suggested that the
states individually put the subject into
the hands of competent commissions.
The resolutions were received with
hearty approval by the conference,
which adopted the report without an
opposing vote.
The president thanked the conference
for the manner in which it had per
formed its work, and then presented
William Jennings Bryan, who delivered
an address.
After arranging that papers prepared
to be read today should be printed in
the record without reading, the confer
ence adjourned sine die at 12:45 o'clock.
POSTER GIRL IN
TIGHTS MUST GO
Chicago, May 18,—Farewell to the
poster girl in tights. The great Amer
ican public will no longer see Miss Dol
ly Fewclothes balancing on one toe
from a billboard frame If a resolution
adopted last night by the Show Print
ers’ association before It closed its sec
ond national convention, has the effect
Intended.
The members of the association, who
are said to control the business of
making show posters In the United
States, will no longer make posters of
an "objectionable nature,” which de
cision. according to Secretary Clarence
E. Kuney, means that the girl in scanty
garments is to be a thing of the past
on the billboards of this country.
ALDRICH CURRENCY BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Washington, May 18.—The Senate to
day passed the Aldrich currency bill as
a substitute for the Vreeland bill, after
consideration of half an hour, by a vote
of 47 to 20.
At 2:40 o'clock the Senate began con
sideration of the bill as amended by the
Senate committee, with the hope of
passing it before adjournment.
Washington, May 18.—The Senate
committee on finance today voted
unanimously to amend the Vreeland
currency bill, passed by the House yes
terday by striking out everything after
the enacting clause and inserting the
provisions of the Aldrich bill as passed
by the Senate. It was immediately re
ported to the Senate.
The Aldrich bill is amended, how
ever, by the elimination of the John
ston reserve feature and the I,aFol
lette provision prohibiting national
banks from loaning money to corpor
ations or Investing money in stocks of
corporations, the officers or directors of
which are officers or directors of the
bank making the investment or loan.
A section was added providing for the
appointment of a commission of IS to
be called the "National Monetary
Commission."
SECRETARY WILSON
WILL NOT RESIGN
Washington, May 18.—Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson today Issued a most
emphatic denial of the story published
yesterday that he intended to resign in
the near future. The secretary said it
was a lie, and that he never thought of
such a thing. It is believed in Wash
ington he will remain at the present
post until the next administration if
Taft becomes president.
The average farmer discovers sooner
or later that the old thick walled straw
shed for his stock Is about the best
despite all that Is said to the contrary.
SHAW’S NEW PLAY
HIS REVENGE ON
CRITICS, HE SAYS
“Getting Married” Is Described
by Poet as Talk, Talk, Talk

t London, May 16,—"Getting Mar- >■
rled,” George Bernard Snaw's new 4
♦ play, being produced at the Hay- 4
market theater. Is pronounced pro- 4
4 lix and wearisome by the majority 4

44444444444444444444444444
London, May 16. — Bernard Shaw’s
new play, "Getting Married.” Is being
produced at the Haymarket this week.
"This play,” said Shaw to an Inter
viewer, "Is my revenge on the critics
for their gross Intellectual laziness, low
tastes, hatred of good work, puerile
romanticism, disloyalty to dramatic
literature, stupendous ingorance, sus
ceptibility to cheap sentiment, Insensi
bility to honor, virtue. Intellectual
honesty, everything that constitutes
strength and dignity In human charac
ter—in short, for all the vices, follies
and weaknesses which Vedrenne and
barker have been trying to cure them
of for years past.
Gabfest, One and One-Half Hours.
"The revenge was very simple. It
was discussion stretched out 150 min
utes; nothing but talk, talk, talk, talk,
talk—Shaw talk.
"The characters seemed to the
wretched critics simply a row of
Shaws, all arguing with one another
on totally uninteresting subjects. Shaw
In a bishop’s apron argued with Shaw
In a general's uniform; Shaw in an
alderman's gown argued with Shaw as
a beadle; Shaw as a bridegroom was
wedded to Shaw In petticoats. The
whole thing was hideous. Indescrib
able an eternity of brain racking dull
ness.
“I am not a vindictive man, but there
Is such a thing as poetic justice and
now it will assume Its sternest retribu
tive form.”
“Am I to understand," queried the
Interviewer, “that In order to revenge
yourself on the press you have deliber
ately written a bad play?"
“Good Heavens, no,” cried Shaw.
“There is nothing they would like bet
ter. I have deliberately written a
good play. This Is the way to make the
press suffer. My play Is the very best
i can write.
No Plotmonger.
"The play has no plot. I am a
dramatic poet, not a plotmonger. It is
argument lasting three hours, carried
on with unflagging celebration by
12 people and a beadle, all honor
able, decent, nice people.
“You will find the material for their
argument in the church catechism, the
book of common prayer. Mr. Sidney
Webb's letter to the Times on the
birthday, the various legal textbooks on
the Law of Marriage, sermons and
table talk of the present bishop of
Birmingham and the late bishop of
London; Whitaker’s almanack, the
Statesman’s Year book, the Statistical
Abstract, the Registrar-General’s Re
turns and other storehouses of fact and
succulent stores of contemporary
opinion. All who are Intelligent enough
to make these their dally reading will
have a rare treat.
"But I am bound to add that people
who prefer novelties will have to pay
repeated visits to the play before they
acquire a thoroughly unaffected taste
for it." _ _
SON BORN TO LOUISE,
EX-CROWN PRINCESS
Florence, Italy, May 14.—Mme. Toselli,
lately Countess Montlgnoso and formerly
Crown Princess Louise of Saxony, has
given birth to a son which in accordance
with her particular desire, as announced,
she will nurse herself.
Just at present the divorced wife of the
present king of Saxony is the legal wife
of Slg. Enrico Toselli, an Italian pianist,
to whom she was married in London Sep
tember 25, 1907. He is 24 years old, while
she admitted to 37 at the register s of
fice.
When she deserted the crown prince who
has since become king of Saxony, and
their five children—three boys and two
girls to run away with Giron, the chil
dren’s tutor, in 1902, her list of escapades
had already been large enough to aston
ish all Europe and to fill a book. A
daughter accepted as the Princess Monica
Pia of Saxony was born after that, and
then the king divorced her and took the
daughter. Her title was taken from her
and that of Countess Montlgnoso granted.
The last previous escapade of Louise
previous to her marriage to Toselli was
the breaking up of the home of Count
Guicciardini of Italy. The Countess of
Guiccariadinl took pity on the exiled
princess and ofTered her hospitality. One
day she found the count and Louise in
the music room, where the ex-princess,
with stocking removed, was playing the
piano with her toes.
The present king of Saxony, who has re
cently taken the little Monica Pia into
the royal palace, is reported to be still
desperately in love with his divorced wife,
and to be constantly making overtures for
reconciliation.
CHICKS HATCHED IN
A WARM TOOL BOX
Pittsburg, May 16.—Six weeks ago a
workman In the Pennsylvania repair
shops left two dozen eggs In an aban
doned tool box In the roundhouse.
Steamplpes go through the box. All

soon settled. Three weeks ago 14 sooty
chicks arrived.
It was found that the steam pipes
kept the temperature of the box at 103
degrees. Yesterday a second hatch of
chicks appeared, sooty, but healthy.
Another hatch Is being prepared.
Born among the clanging noises of
the roundhouse, every chick, so far dis
covered, Is deaf.

Mrs. Davis’ mother Is reported to be
dying from Injuries received.
Charles Isom and family of six are

but this rumor is probably untrue, al
though great damage Is thought to
have occurred Involving the wrecking
of a great many oil well derricks.

After an acquaintanceship In the
East and a courtship In which like
sympathies In music and drama played
their part, Marlani, a scion of an old
aristocratic European family, came

The wedding was a modest one and
the young couple left soon after for
New York. A few months later Mrs.

ARTIST’S VICTIM
DYING IN PARIS
Paris, May 16.—It la feared that Cana,
the artist’s model, who was struck by
W. H. Leavitt, the sonlnlaw of William
Jennings Bryan, may die. After Cana
had struck him several times with a
club Mr. Leavitt seized a hammer and
struck his assailant on the head. Cana's
skull was fractured. Several bones in
Mr. Leavitt’s left hand were crushed
and his head was severely bruised, but
he Is not dangerously Injured.
Mr. Leavitt, after lodging a formal
complaint against Cana, went to the
United States embassy, and through the
Intervention of Ambassador White, ob
tained permission to carry a revolver
for his protection. He says that his
life is still in peril and he believes
Cana's assault was part of a plot to
murder him, In which many other per
sons are concerned, since for several
weeks he has been subjected to perse
cution by mysterious Italians.
Leavitt has been here four months
working on a large picture ordered by
the municipality of Antwerp for the
decoration of the town hall.

I FREE LOVE PROFESSOR
IS ASKED TO RESIGN
Bawden Will Fight His Expul
sion From Cincinnati “U”
Faculty.
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 14. — Because
he believes comradeship should take
the place of marriage, H. Heath Baw
den. professor of philosophy of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, has been asked
by President C. W. Dabney to resign.
Ha refused to do so and announced
his determination to fight any move
to force him outside.
Professor Bawden came from Vas
sar college one year ago. where he had
been a member of the faculty for six
years. He admits that his radical
views on marriage and hie domestic
problems caused him to be dismissed
from Vassar. but he maintains that he
has never taught any of his private
ideas to his students and that he has
maintained an Impassable wall be
tween his own personality In that re
gard and the mtnda of his classes.
Professor Bawden says he believes
In an Ideal state In which there will
exist an association of the sexes, based
on comradeship, and Dr. Dabney thinks
this Is too revolutionary an Idea for
an Instructor to hold.
Professor Bawden has been mar
ried 12 years, but he and his wlfs
are declared to have lived apart tor
several years, even though residing In
the same building.
President Dabney had sought a per
sonal Interview with Professor Baw
den after the latter's wife told of the
peculiarities of their home life, and
the colloquy was reported as being
very heated.
In Own Defense.
Afterwards Professor Bawden wrote
the president In part as follows:
I sgree with you about the conditions
under which I came to the University of
Cincinnati. It was not fair to you to
suppress the real occasion of my leaving
Vassar. I protested at the time against
leaving Vassar under what seemed to me
false pretenses, but all my friends, with
out exception. Including Dr. Strong and
Dr. Taylor, urged It as the right thing
to do from all points of view. I now
see It differently, and It was the unwill
ingness to destroy opportunity for fur
ther usefulness that led me to the deci
sion not to discuss the matter here.
The other day you aald you thought you
had a right to know two things—the facta
and my views. With regard to the facts,
it la chiefly a matter or Interpretation, I
suppose, since no one Immediately con
cerned would willfully misstate them—and
In the matter of interpretation I wish Mrs.
Bawden to have the benefit of every doubt.
Mrs. Bgwderf has expressed a wUllngneea
to live elsjwhere next year, probably
abroad. 1 regret exceedingly the diffi
culty that has arisen, and trust that this
may prove a satisfactory eettlement of
the matter.
He said he had written out a full
statement of his opinions, adding: "I
have there set forth all the essential
doctrines which I have taught in the
class room. With regard to my pri
vate views on certain matters not
therein treated I may add that I have
been scrupulously careful not to reach
them In the class room."
In reply Mr. Dabney wrote briefly
regarding Professor Bawden's resigna
tion.
I o ruDitsn views.
Discussing the demand for his res
ignation Professor Bawden said:
“I don't care whether I win In this
fight or not. Although I have fore
seen that I would be asked to resign I
have taken no steps whatever to
strengthen my position with either my
colleagues or the board of directors. I
wish to remain or to go solely on the
merits of the case.
"Dr. Dabney has seen fit to call me
a coward because I refused to discuss
my personal affairs and my private
views with him. I am willing to have
both my private life and my views
known to everyone.
“Within two or three days I shall be
prepared with a statement of my views
on sex and marriage, which I am glad
of this opportunity to make public. I
do not claim that they are my final
views, but they seem to me nearer the
truth than those on the basis of which
I am about to be deposed from my
present position.
"Meanwhile I wish to put the ques
tion clearly to the thinking public of
Cincinnati whether an officer in ths
university, whose professional work Is
admittedly satisfactory ('fine Is the
president's own word), should be de
posed because of his private views, not
taught in the class room, or because
of domestic difficulties, as long as his
personal life Is Irreproachable."
Consulted Neurologist.
President Dabney, of the university,
made the following statement:
"No man, either by word or manner
of life, can teach things destructive of
the very foundation of human society
In any Institution of which I am re
sponsible. Professor Bawden has stated
enough to make my position in the mat
ter clear to the public. It appears prop
er to say in addition and by way of ex
tenuation only, that I called on Dr.
Herrick, professor of neurology In the
University of Chicago, the lifelong
friend and brotherlnlaw of Professor
Buwden, to see what he could do, and
he tells me that he thinks there is a
pathological condition back of the case.
"The letter published from Professor
Bawden to me has not been received
by me up to this moment. My letter
therefore has no connection with his,
but gave my conclusions after a care
ful investigation of the matter for some
weeks.’
Wife Knows “Affinity."
Mrs. Susie T. Bawden. wife of Pro
fessor Bawden. after suggesting that
there had been another woman who
attracted her husband's attentions,
said:
'T should take a malicious pleasure
in telling her name If I were disposed
to refer to her at all, but as I do not
Intend to do so, I will not. My hus
band did not always hold such peculiar
views on marriage. It is only within
the past two years that I have noticed
their growth and development and I
never paid much attention to them un
til he began to practice them. I do not
mean to say that he has done any
wrong except to me. I believe that he
Is personally clean and upright. There
Is nothing whatever In the intimation
that I am going to Europe, for several
reasons. The first of them Is that I am
without funds to do so.”

cal authorities would attempt to ex
plain.

remnants of clothing and night robes
found with the four bodies. One of
the night robes, that of an adult, was
trimmed with lace and ribbons. Ths
remnants of the child's night dress and,
secernl undergarments also were found.

''From the examination of this adult
female It la impossible to determine ths
exact cause of death.”

was a report by Dr. Meyer on the body
of the male Infant found In the ruins
of the house. It describes the condi
tion of the corpse and says the cause*
of death could not be determined.

In the debris of the Guinness home. It
Is believed to be from the head of Mrs.
