WOMEN THREW BRICKS
Took an Active Part in Yester-
days Riot at Cleveland.
SMASHED STREET CARS
Company's Efforts to Open 10 Two
Lines Met With Disaster-Police-
mon on the Cars Could Not
Check the Mob.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 19--Up to
o'clock this afternoon this promised to
be the most uneventful day in the big
strike. AT that hour another serious
riot broke out in an entirely new quar-
ter and one non-union man was sent TO
the hospital in consequence.
The company began to-day the opera
ton of two lines, those on Scovile and
Central avenues. The cars We're pro-
tected by policemen. Just before 4
o'clock two of the Scoville cars ap-
| preached the crossing of the Pennsyl-
| vania railroad. There they were met
| by a mob of more than 1000 men and
women. One of the cars was taken
across the railroad safely, but the other
was held up by the mob.
A perfect shower of paving bricks
and stones fell about the car and crash
| ed against the vestibule at the front
end, behind which the motorman was
concealed. The women threw bricks
and handed them to the men who were
in front of the crowd. The windows
of the car had been lowered and the
bricks crashed against the seats and
fell upon the floor of the car. The con-
ductor escaped injury, but the motor
man, A. J. McGrew of st. Louis. was
struck on the head with brick and
rendered unconscious. He was taken
to a hospital.
The patrolman on the car was also
hit with brick. A call was made for
the police, but when detachment of
officers arrived the mob had dispersed
and no arrests We're made.
A demonstration, which had been
planned for tonight to influence the
city council in favor of an ordinance
prohibiting the employment of motor
men who have not had 10 days expert
ence operating cars in this city. con
sisted of parade in the downtown
streets With torchlights drum corps
sons assembled, but all of them did not
parade. The crowd was demonstrative
but not dsorderly.
At the meeting of the council there
was a scene of great disorder. The gal
lery and lobby of the chamber We're
packed by a large crowd and every
speaker who was inclined t., give the
railroad company a fair show was
hissed. This continued until Mayor
Farley made speech in which he de-
clared that he did not propose to sub
nit to intimidation. The ordinance fix
I ing the requiremtnts for motorlnen was
passed under a suspension Of the rules.
A resolution was also adopted reuest-
ing the corporation counsel to report
whether the franchise of the company
could not be forfeited if 1t failed to
run cars on all its lines.

Baron Won Buelow Again Defines the
Attitude of Germany

Attitude of Germany
Berlin, June 19.--In the reichstag to-
day the Anglo-German treaty was re-
ferred to committee OF 21 members
During the course of the debate Herr
Lieberman Won Senneberg attacked
Great Britain's proceedings in sa-
mOa. +a
The minister Of foreign affairs, Baron
Won Buelow, replied, saying: II have
no objection to again define our atti-
tude on the Samoan question. We
shall not depart from the stipulations
of the Samoa treaty nor allow Great
Britain to run us from our course We
recognize the rights of others while
maintaining our own"
The foreign minister also said: I'VE
shall provide for full indemnification
of the Germans whose property was
destroyed by Illegal British or Ameri-
can action
After alluding to the powers of the
high commission Germany's insistance
on the principle of unanimity in it's
decisions and the provisional assump-
tion of the government of Samoa by
the commission, under whose direction
the maritime and consular representa-
tiVes were instructed to place them
selves" the minister read dispatches
outlining the situation as already fully
known, the only new points being the
German commissioners statement that
the commission receive both Malietoa
Tanus and Mataafa as having equal
rights as party leaders. and the an
nouncement that the possibility of
strife may be ended by the abolition of
the kingship.
Baron Won Buelow next mentioned
the departure from Samoa of Admiral
Kautz, E. S. B. Maxse, the British con-
sui, and Herr Rose, the German con-
II AL 49,
Marquardt, the two Germans arrested
during the troubles, after the commits
sion has assured itself of their COM
plete innocence and then continued:
The first work of the commission
will be the restoration of peace and
legal conditions in conformity with the
Samoa act. 1t would be in accordance
with article IA of the act if, in the set
tlement of the future government, the
wish of the inhabitants was consulted
by majority vote of the recognized
chiefs and by more extended vote of
the people. But l repeat emphatically
that we will take no side in the local
disputes or in regard to the candidates
for the throne. We did not approve Of
the partisanship of the agents of other
powers in behalf of Malietoa Tanus.
Another task before us is to see our
subjects in Samoa indemnfied in ac-
cordance with the principles Of the laws
of nations, for losses through destruc-
ton of property or illegal arrest Qoud
cheers). This question. however, will
only be ripe for diplomatic action after
the restoration of order. l hope the
activity of the commission will result
in a just and equitable settlement. We
will not cede any of our rights, but at
the same time, we do not forget that
complicated international disputes must
be treated with quiet deliberation and
in cold blood"

WILLIAM IS THINKING.
Has Not Reached Decision as to Arbi-
tratioR Tribunal


The Hague, June 19.-Dr. Zorn. the
member of the German delegation to
the international peace conference who
was dispatched Friday by Count Won
Muntser, the chief German delegate.
after conference with his colleagues,
to inform Emperor William personally
OF the condition of affairs in regard to
the board of arbitration question. re-
turned to Scheveningen to-day from
Berlin 1t is said, however, that owing
to the absence of the emperor, Dr.
Zorn was only able to consult with the
officials of the German foreign office.
DR.. Zorn. is discreetly reticent re-
garding his mission. but 1t is under
stood he obtained the impression at
Berlin that all hope need not be aband-
oned of effecting an understanding re-
garding the organization of an arbitra-
ton board by amalgamating the vari-
Gus schemes. 1t is expected Emperor
William will reach decision this week,
Matters therefore remain unchanged
and the drafting committee will not
meet until the kaiser's decision is
known. The general desire of the con-
ference favors an established arbitra-
tion tribunal recourse to which shall
be optional. 1t is believed that if Ger
many declines to participate the other
powers will still achieve some such re-
suit before separating.
They may decide upon draft scheme
pending Germany's decision.

Kimberley is about 100 miles north

of Mr.. Hollier, the well-known transfer
man of this city. Sipes, the coroner,
went down to-day and the verdict of
the jury was that the dead man came
to his death by an accident while

falling over on him and killing him
instantly. No evidence could be secured
to lay the blame on anyone.
The engine is still in the pit and as
it is one of the largest on the road, it
