Chief Murphy. of Jersey City, asking for
detail of police to cometo the mills, The

missioners, and they concluded this
morning not to send any men.
AT noon Governor Albeit sent his son
Leon, Jr.. and Private Secretary to police
headquarters. He saw the members of
the board. and told them the Governor
mad been asked to call out the militia, but
was Ioath TO do 50. as it would create too

it's By Under-deputy Sheriff Maher. Chief
Murphy cautioned the men to not let
their zeal get the better of their discre-

hect credit on the department and on
themselves. He told them to do their
duty. but to be careful and not resort to
violence unless it was absolutely neces-
sary, and they were to draw their re-
yoLyers only in case their lives were In

SENATOR MCDONALD IN CHARGE.
It WAS a quarter to five when Senator
Mcdonald took charge of matters, and in
a short time afterwards he had so sys-
tematized things that it was evident no
btOiiQlE l6t0 DC lSttItQ.
He requested Joseph Buckridge, who
had charge OF the Sneriff's deputies, to
call his men together. Sixteen responded,
who looked cold and hungry. When they
were formed ia line IN front of the big
gate. Senator McDonald's first order
wRs:--sHands out of pockets
They obediently responded. He then
told them they were engaged to protect
property, and in the discharge OF this
duty they were to act discreetlg, and
obey orders.
Fully 800 persons were in front of the
mill at this time, but they were we'll be-
haved and no signs of violence were
Mcdonald, Chief of Police Turnbull of
Kearny ordered his mon to clear the
street. This being done the Senator
marched the deputies to the south corner
of the mill The deputies looked rather
shaky, as by this time the crowd had
been augmented. But the Jersey City
policemen turned the corner, and inn
Tnediately it was hard to find a Drawer set
Of men than these self-same deputies.
Deputies, who the night previous and in
the morning had deserted their posts,
now came forward tor duty.
The Senator placed q number on the
corners at north and south sides of the
mill, with instructions to allow no loiter-
ing. Captain Earr1er also placed his
men on the corner, and on the raised
track north of the mill he placed three
policemen.
On each side of the street deputies
walked to and fro. keeping the crowds
moving. There was no attempt made to
keep people from passing up and down
in front of the mill, as it was thought
this would exasperate them. They were
allowed free passage, but were not al
lowed to loiter This had the desired
effect, for the crowds dispersed, satisfied
with walk up and down the street
couple of times.
ORGANIZING THE WOMEN.
At three O'Clock meeting of the work
ing women of the mills was held in Balls
Union Hall for the purpose of effecting
woman's organization. About 800, vary
ing in age from sixteen up, were present.
Addresses were made by Miss Van Etten
Of New York, c. r. Solomon, J. Gill aud
Mr.. Smalley. Much enthusiasm pre-
vailed and another meeting will be held
this afternoon at three O'Clock.
1t was about six O'Clock when the
meeting adjourned and the majority of
the girls in groups OF twos and three5
made for Passaic avenue. They were
surprised when they saw the policemen
and more surprised when they were kept
a-moving.
JEEKING GIRLS.
They jeered and booted at the deputies.
Senator Mcdonald and Lon Albeit went
from one corner to another seeing that no
trouble was precisitated. Senator Nc
Donald recognized the jeering Of the
girls might cause some trouble with the
deputies. so he walked up and down with
several groups of them. advising them
to act properly and not carry on. His
talk had the desired effect, for half
hour afterwards all had disappeared.
Tronble was anticipated between the
hours OF seven and eight, when the New
ark gang would arrive on the ground. All
the trouble, it ia claimed, WAS caused by
Il lot of hoodlums from Newark. They
came over the bridge little after seven
O'Clock. in groups of ten and twelve, and
were evidently bent on mischief, but the
police hustled them off. They passed
up and down three times before eight
O'Clock, and attempted to loiter along the
way, but the policemen gently poked
them in the ribs with their night sticks
and kept them on the go.
