Disturbances Growing Out of Team
 sters' Strike Continue.
 Chicago, June 4-Chicago's police were given a strenuous life yesterday by the striking packing house team sters. From daylight until far into the night the bluecoats were kept busy dis persing trouble makers, who congre- gated along the streets and in every conceivable manner placed obstacles in the way of the meat dealers who en- deavored to move their supply wagons with nonunion drivers. In spite of the striking teamsters and their friends thirty-three wagon loads of meat were delivered from the stockyards to down town stations.
 Before the task was accomplished, however, a score of policemen and rioters had been injured, and fully fifty persons had been placed under arrest. Several of the injured were in such a serious condition that they were taken to hospitals. Two of the injured may die.
 An attack made last night on Will liam Riser, a nonunion teamster em- ployed by Irwin Bros, at Harrison street and Michigan avenue, resulted in a small riot, in which several shots were fired, and one man was severely wounded by stray bullet.
 Riser claims he fired the shots in self defense. The man injured is Charles Roda, forty years old. He received a bullet in the right leg above the knee, and amputatAon may be necessary. At the time of the shooting Roda was driving past in a buggy. Riser was arrested

 'Of course my going in an official ca pacity prevents me from saying much until after I have made my report at Washington" he said, but l am at lib erty to tell you that I have secured valuable data which, think, will ena- ble scientists in the future to foretell when an eruption will take place.
