RIoTING IN CHICAGO.

The riotious conduct of the strikers of
the kellogg Switch Board Company and
their sympathizers in Chicago during the
last four days impelled Mayor Harrison
to issue proclamation last night urg-
ing all people to remain away from the
scene of the trouble and calling upon the
rioters to cease from their work. The
proclamation insists that all people must
keep off the streets near to and refrain
from gathering in crowds around the
Kellogg plant, and declares that all per-
sons who do this or in any other way
interfere with the work of the police by
the forming of blockades will be prompt
" arrested and punished. Heavy rains
Yesterday afternoons and evening pre-
vented possible trouble by dispensing the
mob, and the work of handling freight
from the plant of the Kellogg Company
was not interfered with as much as on
former days. The only mix-up of the
afternoon occurred at the intersection of
Taylor street aud Hermitage avenue.
A large crowd of men and boys, pursu-
ing wagonload of freight sent
out by the Kellogg company find
ing themselves being distanced by
the speed of the wagon, boarded Tay-
Tor street car and ordered the motorman
to take them in pursuit OF the wagon.
None of them would pay fares, and the
street car men refused to move the car
until fares were paid. This angered the
crowd, and, abandoning their pursuit of
the wagon, which was, by this time, out
of reach, they turned their attention to
the street car. They bombarded it with
stones until there was not pane of glass
left in it, and the motorman and con-
ductor narrowly escaped injury. They
would in all probability have been badly
hurt had not a squad of the police ar
rived in time to offer them protection.
Efforts were made daring the afternoon
by President Schardt, of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, to bring about a
peace conference of the officials of the
Kellogg Company and the labor leaders,
but it resulted in nothing for the reason
that President Schardt was not able to
see all of the men in time to arrange a
meeting for yesterday afternoon. 1t is
likely that meeting will be held in the
morning, and the attitude Of both sides
to the controversy defined, and conces-
sions arranged for.

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY IS. 1908.

The FIRST of a series of sensational
developments in the Postofiice Depart
ment investigation, promised by the
postmaster General some time ago, has
come in the indictment in Brooklyn OF
George w. Beavers, former chief OF the
salaries and allowances division. The
indictment charges that Beavers accept
ed a bribe of $40. 1t is understood
that postofiice inspectors have traced
pavments to Beavers back to the pur-
chase by the government of the Brandt
Dent cashier. Since his resignation last
spring a close examination into his Office
has been made, one of the first results OF
which was the cancellation of 3, DAG pro-
motions that had been passed on by HIM,
to take effect at postoffices throughout
the country during the present fiscal
wear. Beavers, 10 greater extent than
A. w. Machen, had opportunities for
swindling the government and the I'M
preston prevails that he overlooked no
chances. He directed the expenditure
of greater sums of money, dealt with a
greater number of persons outside the
department. and was concerned in the
making of more contracts from which
pro6ts could be derived than any other
man in the postal service. Evidence
sufficient to bring Beavers within the
meshes of the law, it is calculated, must
he sufficient also to cause the arrest ana
Indictment of his confederates, and they
are numerous, postal officers believe
The announcement is made that another
department officer has been indicted by
the grand jury in Washington, but bis
name will not be made public until
Monday, when he will probably be ar
rested. The progress of reform in the
rural free delivery service begun by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow is meeting with the expected op-
position of the politicians.

FATAL AFFRAY.

A desperate and fatal fight occurred
on the farm of Walter Walden, on the
Appomattox river, near Richmond,
Thursday. Walden and his l5-year-old
son we're in the field blowing corn when
three young men-Edward, Robert and
LinwOod Webster-aged about %, q
and 80 years. respectively, came upon
them and began, to talk to them. Just
what the conversation was about is not
known, but a few moments afterward,
when Mr.. Vaden's son left him and
went to work on another part of the
farm. Robert and Edward Webster at
tackled Mr.. Walden with stones. Mr..
Walden drew his knife and rushed at the
men. He slashed Robert Webster in the
throat Just under one ear, making a cash
about three inches long and severing the
arteries and the jugular vein. The man
fell and expired almost instantly. Ed
ward Webster then cinched with Mr..
Walden, and received an ugly cut in the
face as the two fell to the ground. While
the struggle was going on LinwOod Web
ster, the youngest of the three, remained
at a safe distance from the combatants,
hurting stones at Mr.. Walden with more
or less effect. After the fight between
Mr. Walden and Edward Webster Lin
wood landed with large stone on Mr..
Vadens head, which knocked him sense
less. When Walden recovered he called
for his son, who is only 10 years old,
and was told by friends who had arrived
on the scene of the combat that the boy
was dead. Mr.. Walden headed search
ing party and soon found the lad I'M
hart. Mr.. Walden is 10 years old and
has a wife and FIVE children. Robert
Webster leaves a father, two brothers and
three sisters.

THE hand Of Charles NJ. Schwab was
again shown in the affairs of the United
States Shipbuilding Company, when an
application was made in the United
States Court in Newark, n. j., yester-
day, to foreclose the SIC, 1000, 900 mort
gage bonds on the shipyard plants. This
is the move which it was expected that
Mr.. Schwab and those allied with him
would make, and means that the ship
yard plants may be put up and sold as
in ordinary foreclosure proceedings,
In that event it is though that Mr..
Schwab and his allied interests may get
he properties for song. 1t was hardly
expected that the captains of industry
would get to fighting among themselves

FROM A cURsoRY reading OF the daily
papers it would seem that the location
of the assaults by negroes upon white
women has been changed from the South
to the North and that lynchings in con-
sequence have become quite frequent in
the latter section. White men the world
over are going TO protect their wives and
daughters from assault and this crime
which seems 10 be a characteristic of
negro brutes will be summarily and
severely punished wherever it is COM

BY THE death of Chief Arthur of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
that organization has lost valued OIL
Ger and true friend. A man of good
sense and sound judgment, he was
seldom carried away by excitement or
by the demands of demagogues, and his
conservatism, by which he recognized
the rights Of all concerned in a con-
troversy, often kept the men Of his
order froml strikes and the disorders
which so frequently follow. He was
respected by employers and employees
alike and his death is much to be re-
GREETED in the railroad world. There
was probably no man of his time who
had been longer or more consplcuously
identified with what is called organized
labor. There was no one who exercised
influence over more important depart
ment of industry. 1t is hoped the
locomotive engineers may find as good
aud as able man to fill his place.

souTHERN WHEAr DEcILNEs

SOUTHERN WHEAT DECLINES. -
Southern wheat has gone down in price
on the Baltimore market from 50 cents a
bushel last week to 70 cents yesterday
for best grades. This is attributed to
the failure Of foreign buyers to order as
freely as usual and 10 the restricted de-
mand by shippersthere. Receipts are not
as heavy as about the same time last
year, and this has a tendency to hold up
the prices.

Savage, of Norfolk, met death in a we'll
on the grounds of the institution. The

DR.. WILEY, Of the Department OF
Agriculture, having completed his ex-
periments with borax upon a class Of
department clerks, without results so
far as the public is informed, now pur-
poses to experiment upon another class
with tobacco. Doubtless his second
class will be much larger than the first,
and should he determine to make tests
with liquor, the number of volunteers,
both of men and women, who would Of
fer themselves to be experimental upon
would be legion. Whether bOrax kills
or cures has not been stated by DIR.
Wiley, but certain it is that many men
who have lived to old age attribute their
robust health and long years to the use
of tobacco and whisky, while as many
more claim that abstinence from those
stimulants is the cause oftheir longevity.

PREPARING FOR THE TEST Assisted
by eleven Smithsonian experts, Prof. 5. P.
Langley is hard at work at Whitewater
on his $40, 900 airship, with which he
confidently expects to reyolutionize the
transportation facilities of the century.
The massive aeroplane is still on the big
houseboat, anchored off Whitewater, from
the roof of which the machine will make
its first effort to fly. The aeroplane is
about 60 feet in length. At the sides
are planes constructed of thin plates Of
steel and high-grade quality of strong
" made silk. The sustaining surface
of the planes or wings is very large.
When the time comes for the actual tests
to be made the airship will be carried
through a large door at one end of the
large houseboat and hoisted into posi-
ton on top of the craft. There are two
catapults consisting of large brass
cylinders containing coiIed springs of
great power which will be used in giving
the machine a start The air of mystery
surrounding the houseboat and its con-
tents, By order of Professor Langley,
continues.
