BOYS FIGHT BLOODY BATTLE
FIERCE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN
HEBREWS AND CHRISTIANS.
Police of Chicago Called Out to Quell
the Riot - The Result of Bitter
Feeling.

Chicago, June 20.-A pitched battle
between Hebrew and Christian boys on
Stewart avenue became so fierce today
that police interference in force was
made necessary. The fight was the re-
suit of the bitter feeling between the
Jewish and Christian boys of the neigh
borhood Several small fights had oc-
CURED during the past few days and
the leaders of both sides decided that a
battle must be fought. Immediately
preparations for the fight We're made.
The Gentiles attended school in the
vicinity of the battle-ground and they
allege that the insults cast upon them
by the Jews have been unbearable. On
the other hand the Jewish boys say
the Christians have attacked and beat
en- them while they were on their way
to school.
Both sides lined up their forces and
a count showed them about evenly ball
anced. there being about 200 in all. At
a signal the battle was begun. The
Christians made the attack and with
stones and clubs drove the Jewish boys
half a block down the street. The re-
treating ones. however were reinforced
and recovered some of their lost
ground.
The combatants dubbed and beat one
another right and left Blood flowed
freely and many of the youngsters re-
ceived painful injuries. A riot call
brought the police to the scene and
both sides fled. One Christian and one
Jewish boy We're arrested but after
wards discharged.

THREE VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS
Certain to Be Recruited For Service
In Philippines.

Chicago. June 2O-A special to the
Record from Indianapolis. Ind. says:
W. T. Durbin. colonel of the one
Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana regi-
ment, returned today from Washing
ton. where he went to consult the preSi-
dent about taking his regiment, re-
Gently mustered out of the volunteer
service, to the Philippines. He says he
has been assured by Adjutant General
Corbin that every request of General
Otis has been granted as TO furnishing
him with a. sufficient number of men,
Notwithstanding this fact he said
there seemed to be a sentiment among
federal authorities that might lead to
the recruiting of several regiments in
the United States, which would be sent
to-General Otis. Three regiments. Col
onel Durbin says, will certainly be re-
cruited. But, for the first three. Cen
eral Otis will be allowed TO select Of
ficers who are now in the Philippines.
After that officers viii be selected by
presidential appointments.
Colonel Durbin says that the war de-
partment will not ask for volunteers by
states. The president will appoint all
the regiments officers. No regiment
Will be taken as a whole. as that would
necessitate taking officers. Companies
Will not he taken as companies. but 100
men may be taken at one time. This
plan is already on foot, and the fOrma-
ton of further plans in this direction
is hastened by a prevailing sentiment
in favor of crushing the Filipinos at
once.

CONVICTED AT LAST.
John Kennedy Gets Seventeen Years
For Train Robbery.

Hartville. Mo-, June 20.-John Ken
nedy, the notorious crackerneck, has
finally been convicted of train robbery.
The jury before whom Kennedy was
! tried for completely in the robbery of
an express train on the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Memphis railroad at Ma
comb, Mo-, on Jan. last. returned a
verdict at o'clock this evening, ad-
judging Kennedy guilty as charged,
and fixing his punishment at seven
teen years Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary. Under the Missouri law
the death penalty might have been i'm
posed.
Strangely enough. it remained for
Kennedy to be convicted by a jury of
farmers here in Hartville, over twenty
miles from any railroad. after the au-
thorities in such a railroad center as
Kansas City had signally failed to con-
vict him of any of the numerous
charges of train robbery, which they
had brought against him.
Six men were actually engaged in
the Macomb hold-up. OF these Jake
Fegeley, who received a penitentiary
sentence of fourteen years. and John
Kennedy, have been convictd. Old Bill
Ryan, member of the notorious old
James gang; Joe Sheppard. son of a
MEMBER OF the OLD gang, Louis NlSh,
young farmer of this county, and FL
mer Byram, also a farmer, are the
others accused of completely in the
hold-up. Their trials will follow that
of Kennedy. Elmer Byram having made
a full confession, and having aided the
state in convicting Fegeley and Ken
nedy, will probably not be severely
punished
Kennedy, who has been looked upon
as the leader in this robbery and in nu-
merous robberies in the vicinity of
Kansas City, was the culprit whom the
railroad and express officials were most
anxious to convict, particularly as they
had been unable to convict him in Kan
sas City. where he was tried a second
time and acquitted. and where several
other indictments for train robbery
We're dismissed recently after the ac-
quittal of young James of similar
charges.
A charge of murder, however. is
pending against Kennedy in Kansas
City, as he is under indictment there
for the killing of Miss Emma Schu-
who was shot down by high |
waymen. who robbed her grocery store |
in December, 1897.

WANT TO AVOID DUTIES.
American Goods Shipped to Manila
Should Go Free.

, Washington, June 20.-A firm of Chi
nese merchants at Hongkong, through
its attorneys, has submitted to the wal
department the question of the valid
ity of duty levied upon American goods
shipped from Hongkong to Manila. The
firm maintains that duty should not
be paid, first, because the expectation
from Hongkong took place under as
surances given by the American consul
general at Hongkong that the goods,
being American, would, SO far as he
knew, be exempt from duty; secondly,
because the goods were American and
no duty should be charged for their ad-
mittance to any port under American
control; and, third, because from the
date of the signing of the protocol on
Aug. u, 1898, the occupation of the
city, bay and harbor of Manila be-
came civil and not military. and no
power existed on the part of any Off
cial of the United States to collect du-
ties within that territory.
The specific instance upon which the
question is raised was the shipment of
u, 900 cases of comet oil and 5000 bags
of American -four from Hongkong to
Manila.

Such Action.

Indianapolis. Ind. June 2O.-The su-
preme lodge of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen today, after a discus
sion lasting ever two days, decided to
Incorporate. Steps We're taken toward
drafting the proper articles. Hereto
fore there has been a decided sentiment
among some of the lodges against in
corporation When the vote was taken
today. those who desired to incorporate
won by a large majority.
The delegates this morning spent
much time in discussing a plan to al
low past master workmen to attend the
sessions of the supreme lodge as dele
gates. The law of the order now re-
quires that to be delegate to the su-
preme lodge a man must be a past
grand master workman. The plan,
after a good deal had been said on both
sides, was defeated by a large major
ity. Tonight banquet with 200 covers

THE FIRST DEFINITE RESULTS

Persia Asks That White Flag With
Red Sun Be Substituted For the
Red Cross.

/ The Hague, June 20.-The Brussels
conference subcommittee of the inter-
national peace conference convened to-
day. Professor de Martens of the Rus
sian delegation PRECEDING. The drafting
committees report was amended in
regard to awarding greater protection
TO neutral states, defining the rights of
civil populations to organize for re-
sistance and the rights of armies as
toward armed civilians. Ten clauses of
the report were adopted.
The report of the subcommittee will
now be presented to the conference,

of instructions for armies when enter
ing the field.

held a plenary session today to con-
slider the report of its subcommittee
Captain Mahan of the American dele
CATION again drew attention to the
omission of an article defining the ex-
act status OF wounded and shipwrecked
men falling into the sea during a bat
tie and picked up by neutrals or by
hospitals. He also proposed three ad-
dftional articles, which We're referred
to the drafting committee.
The Persian delegate, DIR. Mira
Riza-Khan, who is Persian minister to
Russia, moved to change the Red
Cross emblem to a white flag with
red sun.
The plenary conference met to adopt
these additional articles and appointed
Il committee to draw up general act
embodying the report of the Geneva
convention section. This is the first
definite result of the conference.

Mrs Browns Idea of Desserts of
Abe Majors.
MURDERED MANS WIDOW
DISCUSSES EFFORTS THAT ARE
MAKING FOR THE MAN.
Says Arguments Now Being Used to
Have His Sentence COMMITTED, if
Successful, Will Later Be Utilized
to Obtain Pardon For Him-Too
Dangerous to Be Loose.
Especial to The Herald.)

Ogden, Utah, June 20.-"I think he
should be shot" Such was the frank
statement of Mrs. William Brown,
widow of the late Captain Brown, made
to a Herald reporter, who asked her
how she felt regarding the efforts be-
ing made to have the death sentence of
Abe Majors commuted to Imprisonment
for life.
There are many things to take into
consideration" continued the lady, but
to sum it all up, after thinking it all
over, that is my view. / think he
should be shot. ] do not say so merely
because it was my husband that he
killed. | think he is too dangerous d
character to let live and be turned
loose on society. He would be turned
loose in short time, if the sentence
were commuted to imprisonment for
life.
Those same arguments would be
urged to secure him a pardon perhaps,
by these same people and eventually
he would get it. If youth can be urged
as an excuse for committing a crime
then no one is safe. l do not form my
conclusion influenced by any desire
for revenge, but there are other lives
to consider. If he were to get off from
this so easily he might kill someone
else some day. Then, too, there are
other young men who may be about
to take up a life of crime. If he gets
off so easy from the consequences of
his crime they may argue that as they
too are young they may escape punish
ment for criminal acts
