Chicago. May G.-The State street
merchants have decided to send
out LOO wagons to make de-
liverles In all parts Of the city.
As far as possible these wagons
will be guarded by deputy sherifs,
and In some cases by the local police.
II will be impossible for all Of the
wagons to be guarded by the deputy
sherifs. but II Is the intention To place
two men on each wagon rs far ~ the
number Of deputies already sworn In
will permit. Sheriff Barrett had 20
deputies In service Friday night. and
said that he thought this number would
be ample for the work outlined. II II
Is not. II II said, he will conclude ihai
the shcrlf's ONCE aud the local police
are not able to control the situation
and n request will be made for the state
militia. Gov. Dcneen has said that he
Will order out the troops II the request
Is made by Sherin Barrett. and upon
tho failure or success OF the attempt at
retail delivery depends the coming Of
the troops.
Peaceful deliveries.
Fifteen wagons were sent out Friday
by the large dry goods and department
stores. and all Of them made delivery
without interruption. On each Of these
wagons rode two deputies. II was the
success Of this attempt Mt delivering
goods that prompted the stores TO de-
eide To send out today practically
their full force OF wagons.
Either because Of thejhreatened ap.
rearance OF the troopS Or because oil
the addition to the police force 10 tho
shape Of deputy sherirs there was
much less rio,ing and fighting In the
downtown districts Friday than on any,
day this week.
