RIOTING BREAKS OUT ANEW
SERIOUS DISORDERS IN PAW TUCKET AND CENTRAL FALLS.
Resumption of Street Car Service for tho First Time Since Last Thursday fingers the Men-Troops Available Un- able to Control the Situation-COm- pany Compelled to Withdraw Cars.

Pawtucket R. l., June 15.-The pres
 ence of 700 armed men sent by Cover
 nor Kimball to restore order had little
 influence except in the central parts of
 the city to-day, where the soldiers
 formed an invincible guard and this
 afternoon rioting broke out anew in the
 suburbs and spread to the neighboring
 city of Central Falls. The resumption
 of the electric service which had been
 abandoned since Thursday was the
 signal for demonstrations at points
 where neither soldiers or police were
 stationed, and the character of the at
 tacks grew worse until the Traction company was forced to abandon the car service.
 The disorders extended over so great an area that the troops available were
 unable to handle the situation and it was said that before the usual car traf- fic can be resumed it will be necessary to place the city of Central Falls and parts of Cumberland, Lincoln and North Providence under military con- trol. To do this an increase in the number of troops will be necessary. It was demonstrated that the cars could not be operated in safety under the present conditions. The tracks were obstrutced and cars were pelted with stones by the mobs not only in the sub urbs of this city but in Central Falls. Missiles struck many of the employees some of whom were injured and rolling stock was injured.
 About 5000 people gathered around IN tude was so threatening that a ma chine gun was loaded and two compa- nies of marines were ordered to charge the crowd. The car proceeded, but the line was later abandoned. The marin CTS then marched through the city and at another point the machine gun was made ready for action when it became apparent that an outburst was immi- nent. Mayor Fales of Central Falls, not having requested n1ilitarty protec- tion from the governor asked that the troops be withdrawn, and this was done after two hours of service.
 The attacks on the men were even more determined in Central Falls than in Pawtucket, and in one instance a torpedo was placed on the track and eXplOQeu utuet tie 1dl NIlli SNfCiI IOiSN that the forward trucks were raised from the rails
 At conference this forenoon between Governor Kimball Mayor Tales and Brigadier General Tanner, it was de- cided that the militia would not be sent to Central Falls until their ser vices were requested. The militia un- intentially invaded Central Falls to quell a disturbance and the conference was for the purpose of preventing such a repetition No disturbance occurred in this city or elsewhere during the af- ternoon and the troops patrolled even a greater stretch of territory than be- fore in preparation for the resumption of traffic.
 The city was practically turned over | to Mayor Fitzgerald, who thought the | local police reinforced by the state | troops could preserve order.
 As soon as the crowds heard that | cars were started out at 1 o'clock on | all lines the demonstrations commenced and were continued with everincreas- ing violence.
 Sufficient men could not be procured | to protect the suburban lines and the cars were accordingly withdrawn be- fore o'clock.
 It is openly stated by participators in he attacks that if the troops are taken away such cars as are sent out will be disposed on.
 The troops guarded the inter-city line lntil Il o'clock, when they returned to he armory, and at midnight all of the who had been on duty the greater part of the day were called in for the night
