MEAT STRIKERS
BECOME VIOLENT
Nonunion Men Assailed In New
York.
STRIKE BREAKERS OUT IN FORCE

Big Packing Houses Get Recruits In
Large Numbers from Outside Sources
to Keep Their Plants Runnins-No
Peace at Chicago.
New York, Aug -. Violence mark
ed the second day of the butchers
strike, and the strong Gordon Of police
under command of Inspector Brooks
was forced TO make many arrests. Not
a few victims were taken to the city
hospitals, and the outlook is grave.
Though the strikers followed up
their threat and called out the station
ary fremen and the engineers who man
the great refrigerating plants, they did
not succeed in silencing the machinery.
The packing house officials in this re-
spect were we'll prepared for the threat
ened emergency. They had little seem
ing difficulty in replacing the men who
their engines and firerooms, and
the present at least there is little
inger that the enormous stocks of
heat dressed and packed in the re-
rigerators TO tide New York consum-
ers over the strike period will be per-
mitted to spoil.
Swarms Of Strike Breakers.
Nonunion men fairly swarmed last
night about the big packing houses of
the United Dressed Beef company and
the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger COM
pany, in First avenue between Forty
fhird and Forty-sixth streets. Many of
<them had been hired at a strike break
ing employment agency in Union

some quarters that not a few Of the
4 more expert killers, dressers and skin
4 ners who were put to work had learn
81 ed their trade in the Chicago stock

the places Of those who had struck in
4 sympathy with their western fellow
b craftsmen.
Strike breakers by the score were
brought up the East river on barges
% and disembarked at the wharfs of the
81 packing houses. Many of them car
E ried not only their kits of tools, but

al fects, as if they had finished a journey

farmers from northeast Georgia.
but since the subsequent purch-
ase the colony will be increased
about sixty families. The colo
nists will come to Wilcox county
at once, settle and prepare to cu1-
tivate the land next year. A new
sawmill will be located on the tract
to turn out mate rial forthe houses
of the colonists. 1t is understood
that the gentlemen composing
the colony company intend
making further purchases. This
is the third purchase of large
bodies of land in this county with
in the past year and others are in
contemplation.
One of the best features in these
colonies is that all of the people
composing then are sturdy Geor-
gia farmers.
0 Their capitalists and home
seekers have been prospecting
here constantly within past few
months, and the prospect for the
settling up of the now uncultiva-

TACOMA, Sept. S0.--In his speech
here tonight Senator Fairbanks DIS
cussed at some length the settlement
OF the Alaskan boundary dispute. I'm
portance was attached to his utter
ances upon the subject because of his
position as chairman OF the joint high

the discussion by the fact that ex-

the adjustment was made. is now the
Democratic candidate for Governor Of
this State. On this subject Senator
Fairbanks said in part:
The joint high commission being unable

mitted to the two governments TO be dealt
with through the usual diplomatic channels-
Some years were spent by the two govern

MRS. PETERSON ANSWERS
SUIT FOR BOATHOUSE
Claims to Be Sole Owner of Property
Conveyed by Husband-Injunc-
ton Is Granted.

In the suit of Henry c. Peterson
to compel his wife. Elizabeth. who is
suing him for divorce, to reconvey to
him Petersons boathouse and the
profitable business appertaining there
to, Mrs. Peterson yesterday filed an
answer and cross-complaint. Peterson
alleged that on. February Id, 1901, for
a nominal consideration he conveyed
all of his title to her as he was about
10 visit Europe and wanted to provide
against the contingency of his death
abroad. He said it was understood
that the property was to be given back
on his return.
Her answer says that Peterson, at
the time of the transfer, admitted that
he had received and spent his share in
their community property and she
gave him sufficient consideration for
the deed. She now claims to be the
sole owner of the boats and business.
She says the business was heavily In
debt and she has used the profits, ex-
cepting S1T00. to pay the obligations.
She asks that he be enjoined from in
terfering with the business and the
property be -decreed to be hers. Judge
Hunt granted her "a temporary re-
straining. order against Peterson, which
permits Mrs. Peterson to draw $3.50
from bank. :.
