THE BIG STRIKE IN CLEyELAND
The Strikers Find Strong Allies in
Their Women.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 1.-THE at
tempt of the big consolidated railroad
company to move its cars today was
attended by scenes of wild disorder in
various parts of the city, though nobody
was hurt and very little damage was
done to property. Cars We're run on two
lines at very irregular intervals, but
without passengers and mainly under the
protection Of policemen. The principal
work Of the mobs which were composed
largely of idlers and curious spectators
was to blockade the tracks. III which
they were materially assisted by accom-
modating drivers of trucks. who cut troll
ley ropes and jeered at fine non1lnion
smen. Occasionally stale eggs and pieces
of mud were thrown, but nobody was
hurt. The strikers discouraged violence,
but they did most affective work in in
ducing the non-union men to quit and
in that they were assisted by several
women, relatives OF the strikers, who
boarded the ears and pleaded with the
new men to leave their posts. One OF
these women was provided with money,
and when argument failed she induced
the non-union men to quit by paying
them.
Most of the cars We're left on the
lines deserted and were afterward picked
UP by inspectors and taken to the tern-
mails. The company says 1t mas suffi-
cient men to operate its cars tomorrow.
but this is denied by the strikers. The
important development of the day was
the refusal of the company to let the
State board arbitrate the only question
involyed-the recognition of the union
The strikers say they feel greatly en-
Outraged and they will he better pre-
pared chan ever to resist the running
of cars when the attempt is resumed
tomorrow morning.

AGAINST THE wOODMEN
A Jury Gives Hrs. ZeCkler Verdict
 for $2,OOO.

The jury in the case of Wilhelmfna zoeckler vs the Sovereign Camp Woodmen of the World, with extraor- dinary promptness yesterday after noon returned a verdict of S2,G00 for the plaintiff. The case cid not go to the jury until half-past four o'clock and in less than half an hour the yer dict was ready.
 The evidence for the prosecution, the defense and in rebuttal was put in before noon. The afternoon was taken up with arguments. The de- fense had two theories, one that the husband of the plaintiff had com mitted suicide, thus barring the bene- ficiary from receiving the insurance. The other was that he had made Q misrepresentation in his application for the certificate in a statement that he drank with moderation, when as the complaint alleged, he drank to excess.
 In the matter of drinking there is no well defined limit between moder~ alton and excess, So that not great deal of stress was laid on this defense. The greatest effort was put forth by the defense to show that ZCeckier had committed suicide. But whatever night have been the prevailing belief regarding the manner Of his death at the time, there was no positive proof of suicide. The cCroner's jury inti- mated that he had been murdered and the plaintiffs attorneys made much of a clot of blood on the wall eighteen inches from the floor and several feet from where the body lay. It could not have spattered there and since it was there when the body was discovered, there was room for speculation that an unknown person had been in thg room with the dead man. This cir cumstance difficult, if not impossible of explanation, furnished the jury all the doubt it wanted.
 The trial of criminal cases will be begun today. The first will be that of Albright. indicted for embezzle- ment.
