as superintendent Blade of the Lor
raine mills made his appearance. He
was Immediately target for the crowd
and everything that could be found on
the ground was thrown at him. Mr..
Blade finally made his escape, under
guard of an officer, and Sheriff Blanch-
ard quelled the disturbance sufficiently
to enable the load OF Italians 10 proceed
to Providence.
The general opinion in Pawtucket last
evening was that a lack of sufficient
police protection was responsible for
the trouble OF last evening and of the
night before. Yesterday morning a rep
resentative of the mills waited upon
Mayor Fitzgerald and notified him that
better police protection was necessary
at the mills early in the morning and
at closing time. The episode of Tues
day evening prompted the request made
by the company. The mayor Informed
the company that they would have all
the police protection necessary.
Last week. when the first attempt
was made by the company to resume
operations in the weaving department
OF the worsted plant, the mayor. upon
request OF the company. assigned five
officers to do duty at the mill, at the
hours designated by the company. The
executive committee of the strikers or
ganization objected TO this procedure,
affirming that there was no necessity
for the presence OF the officers, as
there would be nothing but peaceful
and law abiding methods pursued in
the plan of conducting the controversy.
The mayor ordered Chief Rice to
withdraw the officers.
Last evening there was only one, soli-
tary officer on duty at the mill. and
fearing more trouble the mill people
secured the services OF Deputy Sheriff
Blanchard, and he occupied a seat In
the barge that conveyed fhe out-of-
town weavers TO Providence. Agent

attempt to run cars would be made be-
fore tomorrow. Extra police have
been provided in anticipation of trou-
bic. The men on Saturday presented

The British casualties in Saturday IS
fighting were 279. Capt. Hensley OF
the Dublin regiment was shot in the
forehead and killed.
Today there was another stubborn
fight from dawn to dark, the British

been constant musketry firing to the
northwest. The British gained po-
bition the Beers were holding on the
rocky ground beyond.

most difficult to describe. There is
lighting in front and on both TANKS,
covering wide range of territory.

lin regiment carried a strong position
at the point of the bayonet.
