Albany, N. Y, May 16.-At s o'olodk
this morning the United Traction Com
pany began preparations to move cars.
General Barnes, in command OF the
Twenty third regiment, brought out
before the Quail street barn the entire
regiment. All the same time the Tenth
battalion started down town, dropping
details at the oornor OF the Traction
line running in.o Broadway. One com
pany Of the Twenty-third, company A.
started to clear the mob at the curve of
Central avenue. Persuasion was of no
avail and back went the company 20

"Charge bsyonets!" shouted Colonel
Brady, who was near by.
On rush the men started for the
crowd. just as 1t reached them, there
was a gu OK reverse OF guns and tn e
butts smashed against human bodies
with a howl the crowd started back
some with bloody faces and some with
broken bones, The mob was driven

Inside the barn were five open cars

RIGGS BANK TO BE LISTED.
stock Exchange VIII Quote IL
shares Hereafter.

The Washington Stock Exchange will
hereafter quote on its list of securities
the Riggs National Bank stock. The eX-
ecutive committee of the exchange took
action on the matter after the meeting
of the exchange yesterday, it is under
stood. or at least it will do so immedl-
ately.
Riggs National Bank stock has never
been listed by the exchange. The stock
was held very closely for many years in
the hands of one or two prominent finan-
cial men. L. Francis Riggs, c. c. Glover,
and others There were almost never any
sales of the stock. This was true even
after the old Riggs Bank became ma
tional bank For this reason it was con-
sidered unnecessary to have it listed on
the exchange.
During the past year the stock has
been distributed somewhat, and ii is now
in the hands of n great many more in
dividual holders than ever before. num-
Der of the most prominent financial men
in the city have purchased holdings. 1t
has been this change Of ownership. or
rather distribution of stock, that has led
to its listing by the exchange.
There has been a rumor in F. Street that
the purchases of the stock recently made
have been the holdings of f. Fran
els Riggs This is denied by Mr.. Riggs. 1t
may be stated positively that he has
sold at the most only a few shares of
the stock.
Recent sales of Riggs stock have been
made at $500 share, and it is probable
that If any sales occur on the exchange
in the near future they will be at OF near

worth of jewelry.
Suspicion at first fell upon the woman as
II is said that many of her relatives have
had extended criminal experiences. She
was arrested and locked up at the House
of Detention. AS it was found that the
girl would not have had time to remove
the gems from the house unless she had

was searched with the result that the jew

a bed where they had apparently been

Washington, Dec. 9.-Representa-
House Committee on Commerce, to-
day made the report of the committee
in favor of the Nicaragua canal bill.

the report says in part:
THE purpose of this bill is to con-

been Seieved by your committee that
this course would be a safer one to be
pursued in carrying out the purposes

of so large a sum of money, all the
work and all the expenditure to be
made at a distance so far from the
capital, than any other method that
could be devised. We have tried TO
concentrate authority and responsible
ity rather than to disperse it among
many persons"

report made by the Isthmian Commits
sion, of which Admiral Walker is the
head, in which every feature of this
enterprise Is fully and at length dis
cussed" and adds:

Roosevelt favoring the canal In con-
clusion it says:

pages written and spoken in advocacy
OF the immediate undertaking and
completion OF this work, in view of the
pledges made by the parties that it
should be undertaken and completed, in
view OF recommendations made by the
President of the United States, and in
view of the almost universal demand

the Williams brothers on the other.
Henry Williams was indicted here sew
eral years ago for stealing cattle, but
escaped to Indian Territory. Getting
into trouble there, he returned here
recently and officers have since been
looking for him. To- day he was seen
to enter McClurg's store, while Tom
stood guard near the back door. The
officers started into the store. when
Tom fired at Barrett. Hargett. ap--
preaching Henry to arrest him, was
assaulted and a furious struggle en-
sued. Williams was the better
man and as he was in the
act of shooting his opponent, Barrett
fired striking the desperate above the
right eye, killing him instantly. Bar
rett quickly turned his attention to
Tom. two of his shots taking effect in
the arm and one in the chest. The
wounded man changed his revolver to
his left hand and firing as he ran, sue
ceeding in outrunning the officers and
escaping. At Tom Williams first shot,
McClurg sank to the floor with the cry.
II am a dead mani" His wound is
thought to be fatal. He is brother-in-
law to the Williams
