when Henry Willard resigned from
the board o. directors CT the Northern
Facire Railroad Co.. several months
ago. the many operators, and especially
those interested in y r. were cast in q
gia0m and could not solve the mysterv
which led TO that seemingly strange
move on the part Of the well-known ma
nipulaior Of watered stocks and bonds.
since then, however, the great Northern
Pacific syetem has passed into the hands
Of a receiver, and OF course Mr. Willard
did not 90 down on the slump. .Nhy7

IN sight OF the ardent enthusiasts who /
gather at the polo grounds.
For the first time In many years, have
the unemployed OF the city become so
numerous as to csuse disturbance in
their clamor for work and bread. Last
Saturday large crowd Of idle men,
women and children gathered in and
around the International Labor Ex- I
change on Grand street. The assem-
blsge, composed mostly of Russian Jews /
and Poles. became highly excited when
someone shouted sles US demand bread
at public meating." The crowd became
q Wild and furious band of hali-witted,
excited people, when someone suggested
Walhalla ball. Almost under the inn
pulse OF one man, the mob ran through
Hester street and stopped in front OF
Nalhalla hall. Abe proprietor refused |
10 let them in. when, suddenly, the
doors were broken open and the half
starved populac~ fled into the hall
Several sperkets vera abous to address /
the audience, when the police arrived.
A riot eneued as the police put in an ap-
pearance and great stampede for the
doors was made by the wild and almost
hlood-thirssy rioters. After the reserves
from several station houses had been
summoned to the scene, the mob was
driven up 10 Grand street, and with the |
aid OF vigorous clubbing by Captain
Dewey's men, order was restored, The
ring leaders were arrested and held for
trial to answer to charge OF creating q
public disturbance. 1t is feared that
further trouble will materialize. of
course the anarchists are jubilant and
hope to SPUR on the poor and wretched
men TO use violence. 1t is estimated |
that over 100, 900 men are out of employ /
ment in New York alone. If some re-
lief is not given to the present condition
of affairs, really critical state of affairs |
will be the result. The efficient and |
successful police force OF the metropolis /
will have ample opportunity TO add |
another laurel 10 its many previous
achievements, in keeping the public /
peace.
