CLEVELAND, O., July 2S.-Slowly and
surely law and order are triumphing over
lawlessness and disorder, and the city Il
beginning to resume its old time appear
ance, Today the street cars were we'll
patronized especially during the busy
hours of the morning and evening.
Mayor Farley is well pleased with the
situation, but he has not relaxed his Wig
lance one whit, and will not until the
last vestige Of disorder is wiped out
The Mayor and Adjt. Gen. Axline are
at present involved in a controversy over
what the troops shall do and what they.
shall not do. The adjutant general Is of
the opinion that the duty of the national
guard is merely to put down rioting, and
not to do police duty. Whatever the duty
Of the national guard may be, Mayor
Farley holds that the troops are held
here under his authority, and that they
will remain here until he feels that they
can be dispensed with. The responsible
1ty of preserving the order of the city
rests upon the shoulders of the mayor,
he says, and he proposes to see that his
plans are not interfered with by any
one. He declares that he is to be the
Judge as to when troops are not wanted.
There have been several outbreaks be-
tween Mayor Farley and Adjt Cen AK
line within the last few days over this
question. Today the mayor refused to
discuss the difficulty saying that this
was not time to stir up any discard
Il will merely reiterate my statement
of last night" said the mayor "This Is
a time for every man to mind his own
business"
COUNCIL MAY ACT.
Rumors to the effect that the city ccun-
Gil will endeaVor to reconsider the reSO-
luton of Thursday night reached the
ears of the mayor today and he did not
like them. The mayor feels that he has
the situation well in hand, and he fears
that any action of the council whatever
will be temporizing with the lawless ell
ement Of the city, and will cause agita-
ton which will simply prolong the trcub-

ed and quiet has been absolutely restor-
ed, the mayor will not object to any kind
OF an investigation upon the part of the
council, but he deems that the members
are treading on extremely dangerous
ground when they undertake to reopen
the discussion.
1t is said that any such resolution as
was proposed the other night can be
adopted with a full council meeting and
efforts tn hoy
present next Monday night. Perhaps q
new proposition will be submitted askine.
the council to investigate not only the
cause Of the disturbances, but also the
causes leading to the violation of the
agreement entered into by the company
and its employees at the end of the first
strike.
THREATS OF BOYCOTT.
The mayor takes but little interest In
the talk of boycotting merchants. He
believes that just as soon as quiet ia
restored and the fever is gone all such
talk will cease A boycott, he feels, is
against natural laws; that a man will
not pay g cents for an article that can
be purchased for 8, and a man will not
walk mile to make purchase when he
can get What he wants at a quarter Of
a mile.
1t is said at the city hall that there ara
the street railway company who would
go back to work if permitted, but that
they are hindered by threats from some
OF the more radical employees and leaders
of the strike.
Mayor Farley this afternoon demanded
that the keys of the Houck and Miles
avenue school buildings be turned over to
him. He wants to use the buildings as
barracks for soldiers. In compliance
with the demand, as had been the case
on the day previous School Director Sar-
gent ordered the janitors of these build
1ngs to stand ready to admit troops. Di.
rector Sargent has ceased to discuss the
matter. He says he is obeying orders.
and 1nasmuch as the king can do no
wrong, he does not intend to throw dis
credit on the motives Of Mayor Farley.
a car returning from Euclid Beach
park was blown UP by dynamite about II
O'Clock tonight, while returning to the
city. The explosion took place a short
distance north of the Lake Shore ran
road about two miles east Of the civ
limits. The front truck was demolished
and the floor of the car shattered. There
were no passengers on board and the
motorman and conductor escaped with
out injury.
