Soon there came a volley of bricks
and three of the strike breakers SPRUNG
from the rear wagon and were lost in
the crowd. The flying column dashed
into State street for the run uphill
past the capitol. Here the crowd was
as dense and desperate as at the other
places, and horses and men plunged
in round the %galloping horses. One
rider cut OH by the crowd brougt

Two blocks up State street a clever
military ruse blocked the downtown
mob. Two companies of the Tenth
battalion were concealed in Chapel

dashed past they ran across State
street and faced the pursuing crowd
with fixed bayonets. The new line
wavered and broke on one flank, but
in the main the movement was sue
cessful.
But the strike breakers we're not yet
free. Small crowds had gathered at
various points along the route to the
barn and they threw stones when the
non-union men rushed past. There
was another wild scene at the barn
where thousands more had assembled,
infantry repeatedly charged into
the crowds about the building using
the butts for bayonets and after half
hour a way was opened for enter

enforcement of the demand that union
machinists hereafter shall be required
to work only nine hours a day with an
increase of wages that would make
their daily pay the same as under the
present ten hour scale, late this after
noon declared that there should be a
strike May 20 in shops refusing to
grant the desired concessions.
1t was decided that all workers in
the machinery and allied metal trades
should demand a nine-hour day with
out a reduction in pay, before May 20,

an escort of SO patrolmen, including
mounted officers, and proceeded 400
yards south on Quail sareet through a
crowd of several thousands persons
The wagon had no sooner stopped for
he men to commence work than a
wild rush was made for them. The
police were powerless to stop the
storm of stones and bricks showered
upon the non-union men from vacant
lots, cross streets and house tops. The
men lay upon their faces upon the
floor of the wagon and surrounded by
mounted policemen who used their
clubs on the more aggressive of the
rioters, and the men were hurried
back to the barns.
Two of the non-union men were in

made
The first step in the movement to
quell the disorder by military force
was taken tonight, when the Tenth
battalion and the Third Saginaw
corps of the national guard assembled
at their armory. The calling out of
troops created a profound impression
among the strikers and their sympa
thizers and crowds surrounded the
armory. Later it was decided to order
out the Twenty-third regiment of
Brooklyn which will start for Albany
at midnight.

TOOK TWO SHOTS.
But they Both Went Wide of the
Mark.

Denver May 15.-Mrs. Martha Ewart
who hot ~ineffectively twice at Joseph
K. Choate, president of the Denver
Cotton Mills company, and nephew OF
United States Ambassador Choate,
last night, at the office of Wolcott &
Vale was released on a bond of, $500
today. Information was filed in the
criminal court today charging Mrs.
EWart with attempted murder. Joel
+. Vale attorney for her, made a
statement for publication as to the
events which led up to the shooting.
1t was to the effect that in June, 1900,
MRS. Ewart filed suit for breach of
promise against Choate. To avoid pub
licity, although denying liability,
Choate settled with the woman, paying
her $4,000. Last evening she went
to the Choate residence demanding ad-
ditional money on account of her
claim. Choate accompanied her to
Wales office, where the shooting later
occurred. Choate was married in Feb
ruary to Alice Muller in Brook,

AVOID FUTURE STRIKES
Great Northern and Anaconda
Companies Resort to Dras-
tic Measures.

st. Paul, May 14.-According to a
special from Butte, the Anaconda
Mining company and the Great North
ern railroad have decided to take dras-
tic measures in dealing with obstinate
strikers. 1t was announced that the
mining company machine shops at
Anaconda and the Great Northern
shops at Great Falls would be perma-
nently closed and the machinery
removed elsewhere.
The Great Northern, it is said, will
hereafter have all it's work done at
the Spokane or st. Paul shops.
Long efforts to deal with the strik-
ers at both places have been unavail-
ing and there has been constantly re-
curing trouble.
Over a thousand men have been
thrown out Of employment by the shut
downs.

CkLAY OUT,
Builders Association Will Stop All
Work in New York.


New York, May 14.-The Herald
tomorrow will say: Matters assumed
an ominous aspect yesterday in the
dispute between the Builders %associa-
ton and members Of the eight local
bricklayers unions. The builders said
they would stop work on all impor-
tant building operations in this city
tomorrow if the bricklayers do moi re-
turn to work today on the buildings
that are being put up by Thomas J.
Reilly. While the bricklayers have
not returned an answer to the ulti-
matum delivered by the builders last
Saturday they say their members will
not report for work today. With the
cessation of work on buildings IN
couse of construction from 5000 to
5000 bricklayers will be thrown out OF
work and about all the other mechan-
les employed on the buildings. A sus-
pension of work will thus Immediately
affect from $4,000 to S 1000 workmen.
Indirectly, however, it may affect from
1ov,O00 to 200,0 men. In fact, both
b~ricklayers and builders admit that
nobody can foresee the extent of the
labor trouble when once it is started.

STEEL TIGER TRAPS.
Safe and Sure Methods Used by Ma
tivcs of Sumatra.

Capturing tigers by novel methods is
now being adopted in Sumatra and is
proving almost invariably successful. As
soon as tigers lair has been found ma
tives are employed to construct a wooden
fence nine feet long and four feet wide
a short distance away from it, and in this
enclosure Is then placed as bait dog,
which is tied to one of the fence posts. A
narrow entrance leads into the enclosure,
and there. deftly concealed under earth,
leaves and boughs of trees. is placed a
strong steel trap, which is SO designed
that any animal that places its foot on
1t is certain to be held captive.
This trap is of recent invention and con-
sists of strong steel plates and equally
strong springs. When it is set the plates
form a sort of PLATFORM and as soon as
the tiger which has been lured thither by
the dog sets his foot thereon the springs
are released and the cruel steel grips the
leg and holds it fast. Powerful as tiger
is, he cannot free himself from such
bondage and as those who have set the
trap are never far away he is in a short
time either killed or securely Gagged At
the same time the dog is released, and in
deed. he could not be removed from the
enclosure as long as the trap was set
since this instrument, strong as il is
nevertheless is so delicate that the pres
sure even of a dogs foot would release
the springs and cause the animals leg
to be crushed in twinkiing.-Chicago

to have the contract or stipulation upon
each ticket issued under special low rates
and conditions signed by the purchaser,
as is done in case of the special Iow-rate
Pan-American tickets to Buffalo.
The courts of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey have time and time decided that
the stipuIations and conditions printed
upon a ticket. where purchased and ac-
cepted by passenger. constituted a con-
tract. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission. after it was organized, took
practically the same view as that taken
by the New York court. When the mat
ter had been fully explained TO its mem
hers they changed their views on the sub
ject and have never since in their reports
urged the necessity and Importance of
Congress passing an anti-scalping law.
The late Aldace F. Walker, one of the
members of the original Commission.
when first approached upon the subject
of anti-scaiping, said:
