Received from Wynn.
Dublin, Ca, April This afternoon
at 4:50 %Aock Edward Spears, who was
shot yestyroay afternoon at Danville
by William Wynn, died from his
wounds.

he lived for any length of time was
remarkable. Spears died at the hotel
in Danville, to which he was carried
from the depot platform, where he
was shot. Everything possible was
done for him. Surgeons from the
neighborhood and DIR. Hicks of Dub

ton of Georgia, endeavored to save

POLICE OF LOWELL
DROVE GREEKS AWAY.

REORGANIZATION Had to BE Sup
pressed with a Show of Force.
Lowell, Mass, April IA body of
police officers, marching in solid front,
from curb to curb drove 1000 noisy
Greek mill workers through the streets
of Lowell for nearly a mile tonight
and prevented what might have de-
Veloped into a, riot growing out of the
return to work of a number of ring
spinners in the Lawrence Hosiery,
who left work a week ago in sympathy
with the strike order of the Textile
Council.
To-night's disturbance in front of
the gates of the Lawrence Corporation
was the first breach of the peace since
six of the seven big mills ordered
struck by the Textile Council shut
down, throwing approximately 1900
persons into idleness. The police re-
alize that there was a narrow escape
from a serious clash between strike
sympathizers and themselves, for
once orders were given to the officers
to draw their night sticks. The crowd
fell back, and the danger was passed
for the time being.
A woman figured prominently in to-
nights demonstrations, and she was,
somewhat after the manner of Joan
of Arc, leading the great body of men
through the streets to the point where
the police were encountered Confusion
then came, and the unknown woman
was lost in the crowd.
To-day was the Greeks national hol-
iday, the anniversary of the Greek
Federation, and in the colony it was
celebrated in a lively way
The trouble had its inception in an
attempt of the Greeks to hold mass
meeting in the heart of the colony.
The police stopped this. Then the
Greeks went to the South Common.
where the mass meeting was held.
From the same spot as President
Roosevelt addressed an immense throng
last summer, Greek orators urged the
men around them to keep up a stiff
fight for the 10 per cent. increase.
