st. Louis, May 23.-Most of the divis-

operated cars yesterday and General
Manager Baumhoff announces that he
will attempt to open up the remaining
lines today. But few of the lines ran

them was operated after nightfall. Tine

say cars will not be run after dark un-

The request of United States Marshal
Bohle that he be allowed to appoint
100 deputy nlarshals to help preserve
law and order has been referred by At
torney General Griggs to Judge Adams
of the United States district court.
Marshal Bohle was instructed to confer
with Judge Adams and United States
District Attorney Roster and defer to
their judgment in the matter.
District Attorney Roster says he sees
no necessity at present for the appoint
ing of deputy marshals. He said that
since the federal injunction had been IS

ed to let the wires, cars and other pro-
perty of the street railway alone.
Three police officers have been indict-

disturbances when called upon to do sc
in the early days of the strike. Chief
| Campbell has adopted this method OF
compelling officers to do their duty.
