nue., the route of the kellogg procession
to the freight depot, rioters were mobit
lied at several points to interfere wits
the progress of the freight. Several
blocliades were encountered and the pc
lice were repeatedly attacked, stones ana
bricks being hurled whenever an arrest
of a tcamster was made. Each time the
attacks were answered with bullets. In
the succession of exciting battles that
were fought along the route many wom-
en- and children in the homes which lined
the streets were badly frightened.
Men were beaten down with clubs at
Ogden avenue and Twelfth street when
the return trip from the freight shed was
begun. A thousand men in the rear Of
the procession rushed forward to storm
the police. Lined up in the street, the
o"iccrs were prepared for tho fray. In
stead of using their revolvers the police
met the mob with their clubs. One
charge was made and when it was over a
score of men lay in tho street. The po-
lice fought desperately, and when the
mob saw they were in earnest the attack
WAS quickly quelled and the crowd dia
persed.
Bloodshed seemed certain when the 20
lice for the first time since the riots be-
gan drew their weapons and shot to kill,
but the effect of their stand apparently
struck terror to the strikers and averted
disastrous consequences.

level of the prices that existed before the
boom of 1898 was started.
Many are the reasons that are assign
ed for the tremendous shrinkage in
values. The fundamental reason, of
course, as all agree, is over-capitaliza-
ton. Wall street is choked with stocks
and bonds of companies that were form
ed late in the boom times and that can
not be floated. The rich men, the pro-
moters and the bankers who had these
securities printed to sell to the public
found some time ago that the public had
already taken more securities than it
could handle and was dumping them back
into Wall street. In order to take care
of the poor trash" which they cannot
unload on the public the promoters and
their hackers found it necessary to sacri-
fee good stocks in the market, and the
decline has been the natural result

SHOOT IN A RIOT.
Chicago Police Fire Bullets Into q
Crowd of Bricklayers.

ATOWu Oh bTAGRA4ycNSs
Defiance of authority such as Chicago
has rarely experienced since the anarchy
outbreak originating in the riots of the
BLACK road came wednesday from the
crazed mob of strikers who are waging
war against the Kellogg Switchboard and
Supply Company.
The outbreak, which has terrorized the
public and transformed the West Side
streets into a battle-ground for three days,
reached climax at 2:30 o'clock in the
afternoon when briclllayers at work on a
new building at Harrison and Peoria
streets hurled bricks at the police who
were guarding a freight wagon on it's
way to the kellogg Switch board factory
across the street.
Surrounded by a jeering, lawless mob
of c,rikers, the police opened lire. For
five minutes battle ensued between the
men on the walls Of the building and
the police in the street. n fusillade of
bullets was directed Mt the walls OF the
improviSed fort and created a panic IN
the streets. Many persons fell to the
pavement and were in danger Of being
tramplcd upon by the fleeing mob.
From behind the incompleted walls
stones and other missiles were showered
into the street and aimed Mt the police.
This continued until the volley of lead
from the revolvers Of the police crashed
against the walls of the building. Then
the attacking party on the scaffolds re-
treated out of range of the shots and
order was temporarily restored.
Three thousand men, who threw law
md order to the winds, participated in
the chase after the kellogg freight wag-
on and the police when they had broken
through the blockade of humanity which
was massed at Congress and Peoria
streets.

diplomatic mission to Belgium. His mis-
sion was entirely successful and in 1916
Bishop Pecci returned as arch bishop OF
Pcrugia. During the thirty-two years
of his administration there he built thig-
ty-six churches and restored and enlarged
many others.
In 1853 he was made n cardinal by
Pope Plus X and in 1878 he succeeded
that pontiff as the ruling head of the
Catholic Church, taking the name Of Leo,
after Pope Leo MI, for whom he had
a great generation.
The condition of the affairs OF the
church at the time was far from salts
factory. In Italy there existed n rupture
between the Vatican and the government
Of unified Italy, while there was hardly
n single European power with which the
Holy See was on anything like friendly
terms. Many people in Italy thought
that the new pontiff would modify the
policy of Plus IN. and effect n reconcil-
iatiou with the Quirinal, and thus his
election was favorably received by all
parties as all parties then wished to see
an end to the war between church and
state. But Leo XIII. doomed them to
disappointment. In his first encyclical
he adhered to the policy of his predeces-
sor, and such was his course until the
end. Several times during his reign and
as result of the rupture between the
Vatican and Quirinal Leo was almost
constrained to remove the papal aeat
from Rome; but before final action was
taken other counsels prevailed. and the
official seat of the Catholic Church still
remains in the Eternal City.
