RIOT ISJiENEWED
VICIOUS FIGHTING ON THE
STREETS OF CHICAGO.
THE STRIKE ISNOW SPREADING
The Greatest Trouble Appears to Be
in the Lumber Districts Men
Armed With Air Guns Fire Upon
Wagons and Escorts.
CHICAGO Ricting broke out afresh
Friday in the teamsters' strike and
although nobody was seriously hurt
there were a number of vicious fights
in the lumber district, during which
the police were compelled to use their
clubs, and in one instance revolvers
in order to disperse the mob.
A serious fight took place at the
corner of Canal and Madison streets,
adjoining the passenger depot of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The wagon of
an express company, although pro
tected by a policeman and a deputy
sheriff, was attacked by a large crowd,
despite the fact that It bore on each
side a large placard declaring that
all people had been enjoined from in
terfering with the wagon by the fed
eral court The policeman displayed
his revolver, but the crowd, paying
no attention to him, rushed at the
wagon and, seizing the wheels, at
tempted to overturn it A riot call
brought from the Desplaines street
police station, four squares distant, a
largo crowd of officers, who dispersed
the crowd and arrested about forty
of the most active in the disturbance.
The worst fight in the lumber dis
trict occurred at Twenty-second street
and Ashland avenue, where a crowd
of men and boys had all through the
morning hurled stones and clubs at
the passing lumber wagons. Finally
a wagon on which Police Officer Bag
enski was a passenger came along and
the mob greeted it with the usual
volley of stones. They also threatened
to attack the driver and the situation
was so serious that the officer, draw
ing his revolver, fired six shots at the
crowd, which broke and fled in wild
confusion. None of the bullets hit
anybody.
In the evening general rioting was
prevalent throughout thd lumber dis
trict and particularly in the territory
near the intersection of Thirty-fifth
street and Center avenue. The lum
ber wagons returning from making de
liveries were attacked by crowds at
every available opportunity. Large
numbers of men armed with clubs,
slungshots and bricks, accompanied
by jeering women and excited chil
dren, filled the sidewalks along Center
avenue. Thirty-fifth street, Loomis
street and Archer avenue awaiting the
passage of wagons which were be
lieved by the crowd to be unguarded.
At Archer avenue and Loomis street
two trucks appeared with one police
man on each. They were immediate
ly bombarded with bricks and stones
and scores of air rifles were brought
into play. A bullet from one of these
weapons seriously wounded Policeman
James Fitzpatrick in the right hand.
The two policemen drew their revolv
ers and fin-d over the heads of the
rioters, hold'ng them at bay until the
drivers managed to reach their desti
nation at the yards of the Ritteuhouse
& Eaibre Lumber company.

withdraw all our children from the
corporation controlled schools.
Resolved, That if these victims of
servile and misdirected zeal are not
immediately released we pledge the
services of this organization to both
children and parents who have been
arrested or prosecuted by officials who
are so easily blinded to the doings cf
sweat shops and trust factories, but
who are so ready to cast a stigma on
the highest type of childhood today,
and we promise to secure their free
dom and their rights, even if it be
necessary to go to the supreme court
of Illinois to accomplish it
Resolved, That a committee of five
be appointed by the president of the
Federation, with power to take such

TURN DOWN CURFEW PLAN
It-
Police Chiefs Do Not Favor
Stand by Newspapers.
WASHINGTON' The Interational
Association of Chiefs of Police held
its final sedon and adjourned to meet
in Hot Sprinss. Ark., one year hence.
All the old officers were re-elected
unanimously.
The association rejected a proposi
tion emanating from Omaha to recom
mend the universal adoption of the
curfew ordinance.
The members, however, emphatical
ly put themselves on record against
a proposition by several western
chiefs to exnel any member found
guilty of furnishing information to
members of the press, the general
sentiment that newspapers frequently
had equal if not better, facilities for
tracing offenders than the police
themselves.
ST. PETERSBURG! Admiral Avel
lan, head of the Russian Admiralty
department, confirms the Associated
Press dispatches saying Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky is steaming north to
give battle to Admiral Togo. He con
siders it possible that news of the two
fleets having met may be received any
day.
In an interview Admiral Avellan af
firms the official denial of the reports
that Rojestvensky has broken down
and asked to be relieved. Avellan says
Rojestvensky sent detailed reports of
tho condition of his own health and
of the health of the crews of his ships.
'I ho constant tension and hard work
of tho past months have been a great
strain on tho admiral's health.
"Even before he left," said Avellan,
"Rojestvensky was a sufferer from
kidney trouble, but his health is no
worse. His reports breathe a spirit
of strength and confidence, and other
reports show he has inspired his
crews with the confidence of their
commander. As a matter of fact. It is
not Rojestvensky. but Vice Admiral
Woelkersam who has suffered from,
the long stay in the tropics. The ap
pointment of Vice Admiral Birileff as
successor to Vice Admiral Skrydloff at
Vladivostok will in no wise affect Ro
jestvensky's status. The latter's mis
sion as chief of the fleet is to take it
to Vladivostok. There will be no an
tagonism when he gets there. The
two admirals are on excellent terms,
which began long ago, when Rojest
vensky served under Birileff. Both are
iron disciplinarians and Rojestvensky
will give his superior the same loyal
obedience that he demands of his sub
ordinates." "Do you anticipate a sea fight
soon?" the admiral was asked. He re
plied: "Certainly. The Japanese can
not afford to allow Rojestvensky to
i each Vladivostok without an engage
ment. I personally expect it to take
place in the near future, though i ad
mit that the admiralty knows nothing
of Rojestvensky's strategy or plans,
the emperor having accorded hira
complete freedom of action. Possibly
it is his present purpose to seek Ad
miral Togo and force a fight, but it Is
more probable that Rojestvensky is
bound for his base at Vladivostok.
However, I can say nothing definite
on this point"
An admira' of high rank said to
the Associated Press this afternoon:
"We have known for some time that
Rojestvensky would not attempt to
passthrough the straits of Formosa.
where the waters are shallow and
could easily bo mined ahead of his
ships. Rojestvensky will undoubtedly
keep far out to sea in order to avoid
torpedo attacks. A side detour will
also make it harder for the Japrt'ce
scouts to communicate with Togo.
However, I expect news of a battle
uithin ten day?.
Chickamauga Park Ga., May 31.
The United States government has here
in operation one of the largest acety
lene gas plants in the world. The mili
tary post at the entrance of the histor
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 19 and 20, 1S63, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-five principal ones of which are

stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 20, 1904. placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
ernment institutions.

Cockers! I Before Senate
Committee.
WASHINGTON Interstate Com
merce Commissioners Francis M.
Coekrell and Joseph WT. Fifer were
among the witnesses before the senate
committee on interstate commerce,
whose investigation of railroad rates
has almost drawn to a close. Commis
sioner Fifer spoke of rebates and rate
cutting and said they were induced by
railroad men distrusting each other.
Rites, he said, should be made by the
railroads in the first place, but should
he subject to revision. He said that
the commission would adjust a rate
complained of in accordance with
rate-; en like commodities in other
sections under like conditions He
thought the adjustment of the long
and short haul difficulties should be
left to the commission. He believed
that the power of rate regulation if
siven to the commission would not
be exercised very often, as the roads
would be careful not to get into
trouble with the commi-sion when
changing rates. The commission, he
added, would have power to lower or
raise rates or prevent discriminations.
Commissioner Fifer spoke of the dan
ger of government ownership unless
there were just laws justly adminis
tered. Former United States Senator Coek
rell of Missouri, now a member of the
commission, said he would leave the
origination of rates to railroads, gv
g the commission power to condemn
a rate found to be unreasonable and
to fix another rate in its place, to take
ffect immediately. The ra'lroads, he
contended, should have the right of
appeal to the courts, and the latter
hould determine whether the railroad
rat" was unreasonable or the commis
sion's rate unreasonable. If congress
should enact a law to this effect, he
a'd. the courts would take jurisdic
tion of rates to the extent of deciding
such Questions. He would make the
railroads responsible for ic:ng and
other charges of private car lines.
Commissioner Coekrell cited a num
ber of cases where decisions of lower
courts sustaining the commission in
rate matters have been reversed by the
supreme court He did this to show
that the judic'ary was divided on these
rate cases. In one case he pointed out
that Secretary Taft was a member of
the court of appeals which sustained
the commission.
S. H. Cowan, renreser' the live
stock shippers of the so est. also
appeared. He controverted state
ments by other witnesses as to the
sat sfactory rate conditions and claim
d that the cattle rates were too
high.

CHICAGO Final rejection of union
demands, especially those of the ex
press drivers, was officially announced
Wednesday by the employers. They
demand practically unconditional sur
render. Neither side in the strikd
made a direct step towards peace and
each was apparently waiting the next
move of Its opponent. The employers
sent their goods all over the city un
der police protection without encoun
tering violence. There was one peac6
effort and it was enveloped in mys
tery. It was said that "a prominent
business man" was making efforts to
enduce the managers of the express
companies to make terms satisfactory
to striking drivers, and that he had
promised them "good news." Nothing
came of the attempt, however, and
there was no good news for either
side.
The srike in tho lumber district
spread Wednesday with great rapid
ity and practically all business of that
kind is at a standstill. Some few lum
ber yards are st'll in operation, but
their volume of business is so small
as to amount to practically nothing. A
number of planing mills and sash and
door factories were compelled, to
herten operations, and by Friday, at
least, will be compelled to close en
tirely if the supply of lumber is not
larre inreaed. The lumber yards
made little effort to transact business
todiy and were waiting for drivers to
be snt them by the Employers' Team
ing company.
One cause for the lack of energy
on the part of the employers in the
lumber district was that the city was
not able to afford the police protec
tion. Mayor Dunne provided acainst
this contingency by issuing a call for
1.000 extra policemen, who will be
sworn in as rapidly as applications
are filed by suitable men. This will be
the second 1.000 extra policemen
sworn in since the commencement of
the strike. Sheriff Barrett swore in
several hundred deputies, the largest
number at any time since the begin
ning of the trouble.

WORTH KNOWING.
The average consumer of baking
powder does not know that a reaction
occurs in the process of baking. Fuod
prepared with a cream of tartar bak
ing powder does not contain any
cream of tartar. A loaf of bread mado
from a quart of flour leavened with
cream of tartar baking powder contains
forty-five grains more of Rochello
Salts than is contained in one Seidlitz.
powder. Some eminent Boston physi
cians testified against tho healthful
ness of Rochelle Salts.
Therefore, why should the consumer
pay forty-five or fifty cents- per pound
for the cream of tartar or Trust bak
ing powders when the best baking
powder in the world can be made to
retail at twenty-five cents per pound
(the price asked for Calumet Baking
Powder) and leave a fair manufactur
er's profit?
The manufacturers of Calumet Bak
ing Powder have for years made a
standing offer of One Thousand Dol
Iars for any substance injurious to
health found In food prepared from "it.
Bread made from Calumet Baking
t-owaer is entirely free from Rochelle
Salts, alum, lime or r.mmonia.
Fatigue of Work Feels Good.
Says a railroad man: ".Men who
crumble at work or fret about an
eight-hour working day forget that a
man will be tired at the end of the
.lay whether he works or not Tho
fatigue of work is much better than
the fatigue of idleness, and there is no
pleasure like that which comes from
the consciousness of having accom
plished something."
Returned the Salute.
A traveler who visited the small
Siberian town of Kansk tells how sur
prised he was bv an incident in tho
theater. The first actress who made
an appearance on the stage bowed to
the audience, whereupon the wholo
gathering rose as one man and return
ed the bow in the most polite manner.

that I dreaded to leave the house
for no reason whatever but because of
the miserable condition of my nerves

one day I read the little book "The

eyes, and taught me a lesson I shall
never forget and cannot value too
highly. I immediately quit the use
of the old kind of coffee and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. I noticed
the beginning of an improvement in
the whole tone of my system, after
only two days' use of the new drink,

I could go about like other people
