STRIKERS Us,>U DYNAMITE
The Situation In Cleveland More
threatening Naval Reserves on
Duty-Much Rfotiur

Cleveland, July el.-The street rail-
road strike is assuming a more threat
ening aspect. At 4 O'Clock this after
noon the mayor ordered the naval re-
serves TO prepare for strike duty. This
organization. 104 strong. armed with
Lee rifles and Calling and Gardner
machine guns, assembled al the ar
mory on Sibley street at s o'clock and
tonight slept there.
Tonight there was rioting on Wilson
avenue and on Pearl street. A mob
Of 10. 600 collected on Wilson avenue
etWeen Payne avenue n Superior
street and threw stones at every car
that came along. A squad OF twenty
policemen tried to keep order and only
partially succeeded, the disorder con-
tinuing until the cars stopped running
at IL o'clock. They were compelled TO
charge the mob repeatedly, using their
heavy riot clubs, and many broken
heads are the result. One arrest was
made.
A dynamite bomb was thrown on the
roof of the big Consolidated Street
Railway Company barn at Lake View
at 3 o'clock this morning. A jagged
hole two feet square was torn in the
roof. A Wade Park avenue car, which
stood directly beneath the hole was
also wrecked. No one was injured. The
identity OF the perpetrators OF the out
rage is not known. However. the police
are hard at work on the case. Many Of
the windows in the big barn were shat
tered by the explosion. The shock was
such as to cause the ground TO trem-
bic and 1t seemed for a few minutes as
though the barn Itself would fall.
An attempt was made to blow up a
street car with dynamite at $3.50 O'Clock
this evening. The car was on Euclid
avenue returning to the Lake View
barns when a terrific explosion occur
red under the wheels at Annadale av-
enue. opposite the residence OF Henry
A. Everett, president Of the Big Con-
solidated Street Railway Company.
The half dozen passengers were badly
frightened but none We're injured. No
harm was sustained by the car and II
proceeded on Its journey. There is no
clue to the perpetrators.
