Guided the names Of about seventy-five
individuals, who are charged with vio-
lating the federal statutes during the
railroad troubles of the last three
weeks
District Attorney Milehrist refused
to give the names of any of the indict-
ed persons beyond admitting that there
were several new indictments against
Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers,
the chief officers of the railway union.
Included in one of the indictments
also are other officers of the organize
ton who have not been so prominent
as the four now in the county jail. The
others who go to make the seventy-fve
are strikers against whom are charged
specific acts of interference witt, trains
or other property of the companies.
Debs and the other officers are in near
" all the twenty-three indictments.
Whenever the grand jury concluded to
present a batch of rioters who COM
mitted specific acts, such as the derail-
ing of trains, Debs and his companions
were named with them as conspira-
tors.
In addition to that there is an indict-
ment against Debs, Rogers, Keliher
and Howard, charging them with con-
| spiracy to deprive a citizen of the
United States of one of his constitu-
tiona1 rights, that is, the right to ship
goods from one state to another.
MIR. Milchrist said the question as to
whether Debs and the other officers
will be compelled to give bail on each
separate Indictment has not been set
tied, but will be after the bench war
rants are issued and served to-day. No
indictments were returned against
railroad officials because no informa-

Troops Suppress n Riot at q Primary EIes-
tion at Pullman-A Mob OF Women Fol-
low Laundry Girls.
CHICAGO, July 21.-The unusual sight
of militia called to preserve order at
the polls was witnessed at Pullman
yesterday. At the Sixth primary dis
trict polling place of the Thirty-fourth
ward, located at the Pullman engine
house, a fight was waged between the
factions supporting George W.. Miller
and Franklin Rober for nomination for
the Third senatorial district Miller's in
terests at Pullman polls were in charge
of Alderman Chadwick, while the A. r.
q. candidate, Robey, was supported by
. large crowd of the strikers. The lat
ter claimed that their man was not hav-
ing fair play and that Miller had two
of the three judges and all the clerks.
They placed William Birkhoff at polls
as challenger and Alderman Chadwick
demurred, claiming Birkhoff was not
a resident of the district This caused
a lively row, and for time it looked
as if the crowd which had rapidly in
creased would clean out the polling
places. The police were notified and
sent patrol wagon with Lieut.. Bas-
sett and eight officers to the scene. At
the same time some one wired for the
troops, and two detach mentS of COM
pany Z, First regiment, were sent on
the double quick to the polls. The
show OF force prevented any trou BILE
and the police drove the crowd back
No more trouble occurred until 4
o'clock, when the laundry girls quit
work When they left the works they
were surrounded by a demonstrative
mob of from 800 to 1000 women and
children. A portion of the crowd fol-
lowed Minnie Kaufman through the
streets of Pullman to her home. Near
Market hall they stopped her progress
and began calling her names, and one
woman. it is said, struck her in the
face. Several policemen stepped in at
this juncture and gave her protection
as far as her home. No arrests were
made.
In the meantime, an escort of ten po-
Hcemen was having an interesting time
protecting seventeen of the laundry
girls who live in Roseland. A mob of
nearly 200 women and children and a
few men followed them from the works
down Florence avenue and on Eleventh
street across the Illinois Central tracks.
The police was not accustomed to deal
ing with a crowd of the feminine gen.
der, and did little more than keep the
turbulent women from Selling hold of
the frightened girls.
The entire march was enlivened with
cries of ''scabs'' and other epithets. At
Roseland, when the girls separated,
each was followed home by small
group of the women, whose object
seemed to be to see where the girls
! lived

OF 800 men was held at Ogden's grove

utterly opposed to the democratic and
republican parties and predicted q
sweeping success for the populists in

REVENUE FROM INCOME TAX.

Senator Hill Has Estimates Showing the
Amount from the Bureau of Statistics.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Hill
has received a long letter from Worth
ington G. Ford, chief of the bureau of
statistics, in which he states that the
possibilities of the revenue that can
be raised from the income tax ranges
all the way from $4,000, 600 to $780,
100000. He thinks that the latter fig
ure is the highest which can possibly
be hoped for, and the last few years
the collections would fall below S15,-
100000 He also expresses the opinion
that the revenue which will be col
lected on private incomes will not be
more than sufficient to pay for collec-

TOPEKA, Kan. July 19.-Gov. Level
ling has come to the relief of the state
industrial school for girls at Beloit
and the institution will not have to be
closed on account of lack of funds, as
was feared by the state board of chart
ties. The board, having no money at
its disposal, decided to close the insti-
tuition, but Gov. Lewelling found a
way out by appropriating $1,000 from
his contingent fund. This will carry
the institution till che legislature meets
next winter, when a fresh approp ria
ton will be made.
