War Root.

Peoria, H., Sept. 25-While the
weather was very unfayorable to the
meeting of the State League OF Ike
publican clubs, being the worst pos
sible sort it in no way lessened the
enthusiasm of the vast throngs of del

kept constantly arriving on every

Among the most prominent arrly-
ais, Tuesday night, were Gov. rates.
Senator Cullom, Col. j. Jack Tanner,
j. w. Parker, state president OF the
league; Alfred Bayliss, superintendent
of the public instruction; Dorsey M.
Patton, and many others well known
in state politics. Secretary OF war
Root came in early Wednesday morn
ing from Indianapolis, where he met
President Roosevelt.
The convention opened at ten
o'clock in the coliseum, with fully
two thousand delegates in their
chairs on the main floor, while the
large stage was well filled with spec
tators, among whom were many Ia
dies, who took great interest in the
meeting.
The morning session was called to
order promptly at ten o'clock by
President Parker. Prayer was Of
fered by Rev. j. II. Moron, or THIS
city. After the prayer, Mr.. John s.
Stevens, of Peoria, welcomed the del
egates to the city in a brief but elo-

business was next taken up. AT this
time President Parker delivered his
annual address. Among other things,
he pointed out the great progress
made by the league in the past year.

"rhe young and inexperienced vo-

REIGN OF TERROR EXISTS.
Violence In the Anthracite Coal
Region of Pennsylvania
On the Increase.
MODS ARE GATHERING ON EVERY HAND.
sheriff Jacobs of Luzerne County
Admits His POwerIessness to Cope
with the MObs, and Calls on Gov.
Stone for Troops to Protect Life
and Property.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 25.-A reign
Of terror existed in this section of
the strike section Tuesday night and
early Wednesday. Sheriff Jacobs and
his deputies were powerless to pre-
serve order, although every attempt
was made to do so. No sooner was
one outbreak suppressed than anoth-
err broke out.
At Nanticoke the street cars were
boarded by the mob in search of non
union men coming from or going to
work. A sheriff's posse and crowd
of strikers exchanged shots at Wanna
ME, after the latter had derailed q
train of coal cars. At Plymouth
number of non-union men, on their
way home from No. mine, were held
up and beaten so badly that they
were left on the roadway for dead.
Shortly after one o'clock a demand
for more deputies was received from
no less than ten places in Luzerne
county. Those applying for aid said
that If help was not sent at once
there would be loss Of property ana
possible bloodshed. Sheriff Jacobs,
after a consultation with his attor-
ney decided to take no more chances
but to appeal to the governor al
once.
Shortly before two o'clock Wednes-
day morning the sheriff telegraphed
Gov. Stone, telling him that the STU
alton in the Wyoming region was be-
yond his control and that in order 10
protect life and property troops
would have to be sent here Immediate
ly. The governors secretary repiied
that the matter would be laid before
the governor at once.
At Exeter d mob of 500 gathered in
the vicinity of washery and pre-
vented the employees from going 10
work. A deputy sheriff named Burke
was knocked down by stones ana Sc
verely injured.
Large crowds of men and boys are
gathered around the washeries ana
mines in operation and the SITUATION
is very threatening.
