TRYING TO BEAT TAGGART
Final Effort of the New Workers to Secure
an Eastern Man for National
Chairman.

New York, July pa very deter
mined effort was made last night to
make Senator German chairman of the
Democratic national committee. Ex-
Senator Jones and William f. Sheehan
caleld on German at his room and
urged him to reconsider his determine
ton not to accept the Craftsmanship.
The Maryland senator remained firm
and suggested that Sheehan take the
place. Sheehan pointed out that he was
the one man who resigned from the
executive committee In 1896 because
he could not support the platform and
candidate that year.
But the effort has not been aban-
doned to bring about an arrangement
which Will place. the management Of
the campaign in the hands Of German
or Sheehan. New York business men
will call on Gorham and state reasons
why they want him instead of Tag
gart. The impression prevents among
the supporters of Taggart that notwith-
standing the efforts made he will be
elected.

Woman Severely Injured Because She
Wanted Her Husband to Work.
Up to this writing no attacks have
been made on the non-unionists, but
q crowd of strikers got into a riot
among themselves, and the following
were injured: Joseph Zeiinek, Jacob
Chon.ka, August Nousek, s. j. Kolino-
va and Mrs. Marie Zlatrick. The wo-
man was severely injured. No arrests
were made. The riot occurred at West
Eorty-t third street and Ashland avenue
The woman victim was attacked and
severely beaten whileattenpting to de-
fend herself with the aid of several
men. The riot occurred in front of her
home. SLo was arguing with a num-
Der of strikers, asserting that her hus-
band should return to work so he could
support her property. She was taken
to the New City police station, where
her wounds were dressed.
Joseph Fette, car repairer, was
thrown from the roof of freight car
near Fifteenth street. His neck
was broken and he died instant
ly. Fette was the father of seven
children, the Oldest of whom, daugh-
ter of Is years. is the only breadwin-
ner left in the family. The daughter,
who has been holding position pay
ing her $3.50 a week in Armour's glue
factory, was ordered out on strike by
the union. This leaves John, the eld-
est son. her brother. in the last stage
of consumption, and the others with
out means of support. Mrs. Fette, who
is thoroughly loyal to the union, de
clares that she had rather face priva-
ton than see her daughter strike
breaker

employees who joined the sympathetic

employees who joined the sympathetic
strike.
TO complicate matters still more the
allied trades unions which went on
sympathetic strike held a meeting and
signed an agreement that none of the
unions would return to work until the
packers had signed working agree
ments with each union represented at
the yards. With the packers in their
present state of mind it is the gener-
al opinion that they will never agree
to accept such proposition and that
they would prefer to close their plants
entirely rather than to concede such a
demand.
With detachment of policemen on
each car six train loads of non-union
men were unloaded at the stock yards
last night to take the places of strik-
ers. A majority of the men were taken
to the plants of Armour & Co. and
Nelson Morris & Co. Disturbances in
the vicinity Of the stock yards dur
ing the afternoon and night were nu-
merous. The police were on the alert,
however, and in each case the rioters
were dispersed befor they had been
able to seriously injure any of their
intended victims.
Donnelly says it must be uncondition-
al surrender, as the unions have cor
ner on packing house labor and the
houses simply will not be able to pro-
cure the men to run their plants.

Cudahy's Manager Calls for Protection
Strikers Disclaim Violence.
Sioux City, July 27.-Serious dis
turbances in the stock yards district
led William Watson, manager of the
Cudahy Plant to callupon Sheriff Jack
son for militia to preserve order and
prevent the destruction of meat prod
ucts sent out from the Cudahy pack
ing house. This demand was sur
prise to the sheriff, who had not here
tofore been called upon for aid. Sever
al delivery wagons have been inter-
fered with and overturned.
Two arrests were made at the in
stance of John G. Brodigan, secretary
Of the local firemen's union, who says
the disturbers are not packing house
men, and the strikers do not desire to
bear the onus of their misconduct.
The engineers and firemen employed
at the Cudahy plant, numbering about
thirty men, have quit on telegraphic
orders from Chicago. Non-union men
were ready to take their places. Man
ager Watson declares the plant is run
ming almost as usual.

taking an active part in the robbery,
but remained silent until after the

CRASH IN THE STREET
Trolley Car and Locomotive Come
Together at indianapolis
and Two Are Killed. 4
SEVERAL OTHERS ARE WOUNDED
Tom Taggart Doomed for Governor ON
the Democratic Ticket-In-
diana News Notes.

indianapolis, July 26.-Two persons
were killed and several injured in a
collision between south-bound Big
Four passenger train No. Is and a
west-bound Prospect Blake electric car
at Washington and Missouri streets at
605 o'clock last night. The dead are:
Samuel Romans, about so years old,
white, crushed beyond recognition;
Mrs. William j. Harris, colored. The
injured - Mrs. Logan; Kate Ward, COL
ored, cut about head and face; w. r.
Shannon, bruised and injured about
head; Mamie Otwell, cut over eye and
bruised, seriously; Helen Mendenhal,
aged 3, badly bruised; George III. At

p. Jones, ribs and collar bone broken,
internal injuries, possibly fatal; Addie
Burris, bruised and injured internally;
George Whitlock, colored. severe cut
on head; Mrs. Alice Perry, badly
bruised, injured internally and partly
paralyzed.
Caused a Panic In the Street.
The locomotive struck the front Of
the electric car, throwing it a distance
Of twenty feet to one side, its direc-
ton being almost reversed. The train
was stopped within a few yards of
Washington street and the crew as
sisted in clearing the wreckage and
caring for the injured. All emergency
call was sounded, and the arrival of
patrol wagons and ambulances, coupled
with the fact that the street was at
that hour being traversed by hundreds
of people who were on their way home
from work, caused panic which made
it almost impossible to learn the num-
ber of dead or ascertain the extent Of
the injuries to many of the passengers,
who were rushing about seeking rela-
tives or friends among the fellow pas
sengers.
Cause of the Acciden Not Clear.
The cause of the accident is not
clear. Conflicting stories are told by
passengers and witnesses, several Of
whom say that the mOtorman applied
the air brakes, which failed to re-
sp0nd. Others allege that the conduc-
tor of the electric car failed to pro-
ceed ahead of the car for the purpose
Of seeing that the track was clear.
Within q few minutes after the in
Jured had been hurried TO the hos
pitals and the dead transferred to the
morgue officials reported that four were
killed, but the deaths proved to be only
two.

TRANSFERS HESITATE
All Others of the Chicago Stock
Yards Employers Ordered
Out on Strike.
LAST CONFERENCE Is IN VAIN
Strikers Adopta a Plan to Prevent yiO-
lence-Prominent Men Feed
Stock-Five Hurt in a Riot,
One q Woman.

Chicago, July ga general strike
Of the allied trades at the stock yards
was called at noon yesterday despite
the efforts of the teamsters to settle
the strike. Six thousand men went out
at once, and the others followed as
fast as the orders could be issued. The
teamsters have not struck, but it is
likely they will do so soon. Their con-
ference with the packers brought no
results. although when the meeting ad-
jOurned it was hoped that another ses-
sion might be arranged. The other
trades, however, were eager to strike
and did not wait for any more nego-
tiations.
VIII Try to Main tain Order.
ALI packing plants are running, and
the packers are receiving hundreds
of nOn-uniOn men. An attempt to pre-
vent violence will be made by the un-
ion leaders by the plan of dividing the
strikers into squads of ten men, each
under captain, who is responsible for
their preserving order. The police ar
rangements at the yards are regarded
as ample to quell rioting.
Live Stock Left to starve.
Among the strikers were 700 men
whose duty it was to take care of the
live stock, leaving 10000 head of cat
tie to be fed or not as luck was for
or against them. Rather than see the
animals suffer the officials of the I'm
ion Stock Yards and Transit company
offered their personal services, and did
what they could to feed and water the
stock. Among those who donated their
services to the comfort of the cattle
