No. 157 Emerson ST., South Boston, is the
present home of Rev. c. J. Freeman, A. B.
Ph.D., the recent rector of st. Marks Episco-
pal Church at Anaconda, Mont. During the
reform movement which has swept over Bos-
ton, DR.. Freeman has been frequently heard
from through the various newspapers and
although resident of comparatively recent
date he has exerted much public influence
which has been increased by the fact that he
was ten years ago on q commission appointed
in England to investigate the troublesome
question of the vice of great cities.
He has preached before cultured audiences
in the old world, as well as to the rough
pioneers in the mining towns of the Rocky
mountains and his utterances as well as his
writings have been in the line of progress and
liberality, well-sessoned with practical com.
mon sense. DR.. Freeman has written this paper
a letter which will be read with much interest

RIOTERS SUPREME.
Philadelphia I'm the Hands Of an Angry,
H0wling Mob.

noWinB MOD
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ls.-Philadelphia
IL all but at the mercy of gang Of hood
lums, and the traction strike Is not yet
forty weight hours old. Last night not a
street car of the Union Traction company
was running. and that company
controls every line In the city, with the ex-
ception of two comparatively short cross
town lines. The police were absolutely
unable to control tho mob violence. From
early morning until dusk, as each branch
line made desperate efforts to start, howl
ing mobs surrounded each car, stoned and
hooted the motorman and conductor,
smashed the windows, cut the trolley
ropes, and wreaked all possible destruc-
ton. Then the attempt was abandoned.
The strikers took little, II any, part In
the work of destruction. This was In the
hands of the inevitable rowdy element.
Many persons were injured by flying mis-
siles and there 10 fear that when complete
reports have been received they will in
clude fatalities. and thousands OF dollars
worth of valuable property was destroyed.
Compared to the events OF the day he
streets last night were quiet, although
filled with surging crowds.
Five hundred extra policemen were
sworn in by Mayor Warwick last night,
and these, with the regular force of =, 100,
will make an attempt to quell the rioters
today. They have orders from Mayor
Warwick to carry their batons unsheathed.
Should this fail the governor will be asked
to order out the militia The city's execu-
tive declared last night in unmistakable
terms that the strike is no longer a contest
between railway company and Its en-
ployes, but battle between the city and
violence, and the city will win II it takes
the United States army.
