No deolded increase in the number of
men on strike was made toduy,. The most
Important secession to the teamsters being
the driver of the delivery waeons of retail
grocery stores. Theso declared that they
would In no,, ease call for goods at any
wholesale establishment where a strike ex
isted. As teamsters are on strike at prac
tically every wholesale grocery In the city
the apparently visible supply of food for
the citiaens of Chicago Is limited to the
stocks now held In the retail groceries.
The retail drivers also declared that they
would refuse .to handle meat If any strike
occurred in the stock yards. So far thera
has been no trouble In thlB direction, al
though it has been directed from day to
day by the labor lenders that the stock
yards drivers would come out. The pack
ers expressed themselves as confident of
being able to avoid any trouble.
On the whole, the food supply of the city
has been In no manner abridged, although
the commission merchants who handle
fruits and fresh vegetables have lost very
heavily because of the inability of the ex
press companies to handle their shipments
for them. The amount they are able to
bring Into the city by freight is lncrenslng,
but It does not In any degree correspond
to the total amount of receipts under UBual
conditions. There was a slight upward
movement today in eggs, vegetables and
fruit.
I'lttraatum to Team Owners.
The Employers' association this afternoon
drove home a wedge, into' the ranks of the
Chicago Team Owners' association. This
. latter organisation is composed of men who
do teaming fur many of the large business
' houses end. particularly. In the matter ot
hauling coal. They have fought shy u
far of aiding the employers to the extent
of making deliveries on their contracts,
going to the length of asking employers to
refrain from requesting them to haul coal
or other merchandise and asserting thai
If their men were stopped while on the
streets there was nothing for them to do
but to return to the barn. The employers
this afternoon Informed the team owners
that thsy must make deliveries at once
Y and Continue to make them from this time
r on. The question oc coat was Decerning
vital. In the struggle and they did not pro
pose to be crippled while contracts existed
which entitled them to a full delivery ac
cording to their needs. The five largest
team owning companies were Informed that
If coal was not delivered all of their con
tracts would be cancelled at once, and
they would not be renewed at any time
. hereafter strike or no Strike. The team
owners agreed to make deliveries as de
manded. The union labor leaders who were indicted
. last Saturday In connection with the strike
appeared at the criminal court building to
, day and gavo bonds in the sum ot 11.500
. . each.
Two Riots Last Marat.
Two serious riots took place last night. The
first was at the Intersection of Harrison
and Des Planea stteet, where a mob con
taining many women, and numbering fully
1,000 attacked a ciowd of sixteen non
union men who were being taken to the
depot under the guard of a squad of police.
Stones and missiles of all kinds were hurled
gt the men,' and it was with great diffi
culty that the police were able to protect
the men from the crowd. Several of the
nonunion men were Injured with stones,
many of the mob suffered broken heads
from the clubs of the police. A number of
arrests were made.
. Te second fight took place at Twenty
second and State streets, when a crowd at
tacked four coal wagons. Which, under
the guard ot eight ' private detectives
which were returning to the yards of the
Daniels company after making the delivery
of coal at a nearby plant. ' The nonunion
men were.pelted with stones throwrj from
. the second story of a' building Which they
-Ail
were passing, and the detectives, drawing
their revolvers charged the place. The In
mates fled and no shots were fired. A
riot call brought the police to the scene,
and the crowd was dispersed. The de
tectives were arrested for carrying con
cealed weapons.

An effort was made last night at the meet
ing of the Board of Education to abolish
the office of custodian of supplies at the ex
piration of the term of the Incumbent, E. F.
Grimes, July 81, but upon the protest of
Member Detweller and others that the ac
tlon was radical and should be taken only
upon full consideration, action on the resO'
lution, which was offered by the committee
on buildings and public property, was de
ferred two weeks. To perform the work of
the custodian It was proposed to have the
teachers' supplies delivered from the office
Of the superintendent of Instruction and
the Janitors' euppl.es from the office of su
perlntemlent of buildings.
After an orgument It was agreed, on the
motion of Member McCague, to appoint a
special committee to be composed of the
superintendent of Instruction, superintend
ent of buildings and chairman of the build
ngs committee to make a thorough Invests
gatlon as to tho number of rooms needed
and general requirements demanded In tho
new Vinton school, and to report facts and
recommendations to the board In Septem
ber. Another resolution on the subject,
emanating from the buildings commlteo,
to the effect that the matter of selecting an
rchltect for the school be postponed In
definitely, owing to the lack of funds to
begin construction of the buildings, also
was adopted. This defers any Immediate
rtlon on the vexed questions of plans and
who shall draw them for the school.

Bulldln Fund's Limit.
Member McCague, chairman of the
finance committee, said there would be only
abou( S3.000 in the building fund this year
after the Beala school and the additions at
Clifton Hill are paid for, and that It would
take the resources for three yearn to build
the Vinton school unless bonds are Issued.
He thought It much better at the present
time to Investigate carefully the needs of
the district so as to determine the proper
slxe of the school before anything Is done
toward securing plans. Then followed
speeches by nearly every member of tho
board, motions and eountermotlons, which
ended In postponement.
Tho .date of the high school cadet en
campment was fixed from June 8 to 14, In

Orders were given by the board for the
gradual change of the coats and caps of the
uniforms worn by the cadets so as to con

changes are chiefly in tho cap, the old reg

With the exception of the second Vice

done by acclamation, but the balloting for
the other officers showed Just 100 votes
cast or about one-fourth of the member
ship of the club. There were 107 members
In the house.
A discussion of the extent to which the
club should finance the public playgroand
proposed by the Civic Improvement league.
occupied the most of the afternoon. Every
body seemed willing to do something, but
there was a difference of opinion an to
what the club could afford to give. The
treasurer reported that after all bills are
paid there will be about $50 In the club
treasury at the close of the year, though
here Is a reserve fund of $1,635, to which
will be added about $50 In Interest. The
evident unwillingness to draw upon the
reserve fund finally led to a motion that
Mr. Houthwick of Emerson School of
Oratory be engaged to appear under the
auspices of the club and the proceeds be
turned over to the playground fund. This
was put to a vote and though there was
no negative response, scarcely half a
doxen voted in the affirmative, and the
chairman, after deciding It carried, re
opened the question and there was qeueral
expression of opinion.' There was general
objection to entertainments or the selling
of tickets for anything, and as Mv. South
wlck could not come until the latter part
of June it waa finally decided to borrow
$150 from the club treasury to be given to
the playground committee at once, and In
the fall give some kind of benefit to make
back the amount.
A letter from Edwin Barbour, chairman

Something over loo new members or re

the local Young Women's Christian asso
ciation by the "get one" banquet served
last evening In the association rooms In
the I'axtnn block. As the name suggests,
the condition precedent to attehdance at
the banquet consisted In securing a new
member or a renewal, the supper being
served by the women of St. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church to the new mem
bers and their hostesses. About 300 women
sat down to the tables, which were spread
In the association dining room. Following
the supper there was a program, Includ

by Dr. Wells, while Mrs. A. B. Bomers
responded to ft toast, "The Twentieth Cen

The constitution committee recommended
that instead of reinstating delinquent mem

After-Dinner Debate Heanlvra Into si
Determination to F.lert Club
Member to Ofllce to
Show Strength.
A dinner at the Calumet Inst evening
marked the revival of interest In the Mc
Klnley club. I. Zleglor, E. M. Martin. T. B.
Dysnrt, D. J. Riley. W. M. McKay, T. It.
Woodland, C. O. McDonald. Charles Foster,
Dr. II. A. Foster, H. R. Irfavltt, N. T.
Dodge, Jr., N. Bernstein, W. C. Yoder and
Frank Crawford were the alners. After
the dinner there was a general discussion
of the most effective means of arousing the
Interest Of the members In politics.
The first problem was to secure a more
general attendance of the members at the
club meetings, and the conclusion whs thst
by personal effort of those present last
evening other members would be Induced to
attend weekly dinners of tho club, and
after their presence was secured general in
terest could bo revived by learning Just
whst the club contemplates doing and the
plans devised for carrying out any special
effort the club may conclude to undertake.
Each of those present last evening gave his
views on the subject.
General favor was shown the proposal
that the club nominate one or more candi
date for the city council and If these are
elected, "to see that the member does his
duty." It was proposed that the club
should as a body take more specific inter
est In each other and in politics, the first
so that members should find it to th?lr ad
vantage to belong to the club and the sec'
ond for the purpose of Inducing more dls
tlnct recognition of the young men as valU'
able factors In the affairs of the city.
The discussion did not favor the Idea of
confining the Influence of the club to fur
thering the InterestM of such of the candi
dates of the party as the club might en
dorse, but rather to have a candidate of Its
own on whom the club can concentrate Its
Influence and Its votes. It was suggested
by those who discusncd the subject Inst
night that onco the club had a candidate It
could call Its own, there would be much
greater Interest taken by the members, and
the vote they could swing for their man
would astonish everybody. It was sug
gested that It would be to the best Interests
of the club to keep clear of the fights and
differences that have divided the party
heretofore. Every member present last
night was elected a committee of one to do
all the boosting he Is capable of to stir up
Interest In future meetings of the club and
to get to the weekly dinners & more general
attendance.

To the Club Women of Iowa: In aendlna-
out a last few words of greeting before we
meet at Waterloo for our sixth biennial, I
Und much sorrow mingled with the Joy if
anticipation, for I realize that soon 1 must
part witn you as your president, ana I can
not refrain at this time from attempting to
express to you my appreciation of the
nonor you tunierreu upon nie two years
ago at Lea Moines in inviting me to be
your leader. No one knows better than ao
I that my mistakes have been many, but
they have been from lack of Judgment,
never from latk of Interest. While I have
ruullied tho numberless responsibilities
that go with the ollice, I also have found
great pleasure ana Joy in trie worn lor
you and with you. If I have given any
thing to you you have given more to me.
and I shall look back upon the past two
years as ones full of delightful memories
of the loyalty and unwavering confidence
cf the eluD women or towa. Ana now that
our preparations for the biennial are
nearly completed, we hope that every club
will bo represented and will carry away
fresh enthusiasm and Inspiration for work
In the coming years. The members of the
iocal board and committees are indefatig
able In their work for our comfort and

IMPROVEMENT CLUB MEETINGS
Central Park and North Omaha De
bate Matters of Local and
General Interest,
The Central Purk Improvement club Is
considerably elated over securing several
arc llghls for that district and believe them
but the 'forerunner of other! good things
to come In the Improvement .line. Som
little disappointment was expressed over
tbe location of, taint of the lights, but the
fact of getting them Is a sufllcient subject
for congratulation.
At the meeting lust night, which was very
largely attended, the rirept grading and
sllow alk Improvement question , was dis
cussed from numerous points Cf view.
Ames avenue between Forty-sixth and
Forty-eighth streets, Forty-second street
and Fortieth street' between Grand and
Fowler avenues and Fort street Were men
tioned as in need of material Improvement.
The sanitary committee entered a protent
against the grove on Fowler avenue be
tween Forty-second and Forty-tnird streets
being made a dumping ground' for dead
animal carcases, and the health board Will
bo asked to Interfere In tho matter.
The street car committee reported that
a large number of letters hud been sent
to the street railway management urging;
the extension of the line to Central park.
A committee of the club will meet Frlduy
night with the Monmouth Park club to
discuss the street car proposition.
The park committee reported Improve
ments being made In Fontancllo park.
The special committee on boulevards re-
ported that surveyors under the direction
J of the I'ark board are already surveying
the route, saying a fair prospect exists
of the Clifton Hill and Saddle creek route
being projected over to Fontanelle park
and thence through the Central Park district.
J. M. Van Glider of the Prospect Hill
club told of tho work of the Trospect Hill
club and what it had accomplished by
keeping everlastingly at It, and urged that
results could only be accomplished for
Central Park by tho club keeping pounding
for Improvements.
At the meeting of tho North Omaha Im
provement club tho principal topic ot dis
cussion was the ward boundaries. The
club decided to stand by the division as
adopted at the last meeting, which was on
the east, north and west by the city limits
and on the south by Pratt street and the
Section line east of Twenty-fourth and west
of Thirty-sixth street. The discussion
showed that the Clifton Hill club Wanted
the dividing line at Lake street, but It
seemed to be the opinion of those present
that this would leave the balance of power
In the south end of the ward and leave tha
residents of the north side holding the
sack. It was decided to make another
protest to the street railway company
against sweeping the dirt from the cars at
the Intersection of ' Twenty-fourth street
and Ames avenue. The meeting adjourned
to meet in two weeks.
