Rioters Are ''the People," aud Control
the Situation, It Seems.
MCKEEsPoET, Pa, June 6.-Never has
this city witnessed such scenes Of defiance
of law and the inability of the authorities
of repressing lawlessness, as were enacted
here yesterday and last night. The
strikers are practically in command of the
situation. The trouble grows out of the
strike at the tube works, and the strikers
have outwitted the police, broken into the
mill yards, and are making systematic
tours of the works and their surroundings.
The plant resumed in two departments
yesterday and about twenty-five men
went to work. The news quickly spread
and by noon a mob of nearly 10000 had as
sembled about the gates awaiting the ap-
pearance of the workmen going for their
dinner. Most of the men remained inside,
but a few attempted to go to their homes
and were caught by the mob and terribly
beaten. They were finally rescued by the
police and taken back into the enclosure
The mob then dispersed in part, but
towards evening reassembled and by
O'Clock probably 5000 men were massed in
front of the entrance on Fourth avenue.
They were disappointed. At o'clock
the day turn did not come out and the
night turn did not 60 in. There was a
great load Of provisions taken into the
mill by the company, and q lone Slav
workman came out the back way and
tried to make q sneak to escape. He was
seen, and . section Of the surging mob
broke OF from the main body and fell
upon his trail with yells. The race COW
cred several squares before he turned at
bay. He was unable to run any farther;
he fully expected to be killed, and he drew
knife and faced the yelling pursuit,
evidently determined to die fighting.
The foremost pursuers paused . mo-
ment. but the rush came up behind them
and dozen men with clubs sprang upon
the painting fugitive. He was down in n

Strange How Like the Old Adam Is the
Modern One.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June Ga sensa-
tional tragedy was enacted in this city by
which two homes are shroUded in sorrow
and shame. Illicit love and jealously
claim two victims-S. p. Hodgen. of this
city, and a former prominent farmer of
Pleasant Plains in this county, and Mrs.
Mollie Jones, also of Springfield Shortly
after noon pistol shots and screams were
heard from flats near the business center
OF the city. When aid finally arrived
Hodgen and Mrs. Jones were found lying
dead In bed. In all ten shots were fired.
The woman was struck three times in the
head and twice in the breast Hodgen
fired two shots through his own head.
Hodgen has a wife and eight children at
Alton, Ia. Mrs. Jones has husband and
four children, two of whom, aged 4 and G
years, were witnesses of the tragedy
Mrs. Jones and Hodgen entered on their
Illicit course at Pleasant Plains over three
years ago, which resulted IN the separa-
tion of the former from her husband and
the latter from his wife. He sold his farm
at Pleasant Plains and both moved to
Chicago. After the Worlds fair they re-
turned to this city, where they continued
their relations which eliminated in the
tragedy. In a note left by Hodgen he
said: This should he the fate of all lewtl
and homewrecking women" and the
tragedy was doubtless the result of
Hodgen's brooding over his squandered es-
tate and ruined domestic happiness

instant. but Officer Singer was close on
the heels of the leaders OF the race and he
Jumped into the midst of the melee with
out moments hesitation. The officer
and the fugitive were badly beaten, but
help came and they were rescued. At the
mills the mob surged around the en-
frances until 2 o'clock in the evening.
when rush was made and they broke
into the yards.
The men inside were panic-stricken and
1t was the rule of every man for himself.
The mob swarmed into the enclosure look
ing for the hated non-unionists. Hun
dreds OF them were equipped with clubs
or weapons OF some description. Then
began wild chase and pursuit of the
hunted workmen inside. Several welders
took to the river and made their escape to
Mifiin township. pursued by crowds of
strikers, and finally chased off into the
darkness toward Duquesne. The strikers
were in complete possession of the place.
They ranged over the grounds and
hnaily routed out ten hidden workmen.
The poor fellows made dash for freedom,
but were cut off and surrounded. With
no compunctions about ten armed men
with clubs attacking one defenseless man,
the mob set upon these men in swarms
and beat them shockingly. In the crush
to get at the prostrate men one fellow
was badly stabbed. 1t was the Homestead
fight over again, with variations.
So far as the authorities are able to
learn nobody has been killed outright, but
the injuries of some of the victims Of the
mob's fury will probably die. As mid
night approached the crowd decreased and
comparative quiet reigned. All the law
abiding people were in doors with the ex-
ception of the curious few who were will
Ing to take the risks of watching the mob's
work. For the rest, the strikers are vir-
tually in possession of the town.

Methods Employed to Smuggle Japan
ese Girls Into This Country.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The steamer
China, which arrived to-day from the Ori-
ent, brings peculiar story of the meth
DDS employed by Japanese to smuggle
girls into this country for immoral pur-
poses. While the vessel was at the wharf
at Yokohama receiving her cargo, a
Japanese passenger asked to have four
large boxes taken to his stateroom, but
was refused, as the boxes were too large.
The boxes were left on the wharf, to be
placed in the hold with the other cargo.
Just as they were being hoisted up pe-
culiar noise issuing from one of the cases
attracted the attention of the stevedores,
who rolled the boxes aside and called the
police, and upon examination the boxes
were found to contain the almost lifeless
bodies of four Japanese girls, who were
overcome with suffocation. The boxes
were only two feet three inches in length
and one and half broad. There was
small air hole at one end, but the boxes
were laid on the wharf end up and the
holes closed. The Japanese who at
tempted the outrage was not appre-
hended. Three of the girls were des-
tined, if they lived, to brothel in Port
land, and the other was going to Tacoma.
