Chicago, Nov. 4.-Revolvers, knives
and railroad spikes were the weapons
in the hands of 200 Italian laborers
who were halted and put under arrest
by a score of policemen The Italians
1t is claimed, were trying to intimidate
into strike other laborers working
On the elevation of the Chicago and
Western Indiana railroad tracks. The
Italians are alleged to have made a
raid along the tracks, overturning tool
boxes and pursuing laborers who re-
fused to strike. At Forty-third street
the rioters found themselves suddenly
confronted by three patrol wagons
loaded with police, with drawn revol.
vers. The police ordered the Italians
to march towards the Stock Yards po.
lice station. Awed into obedience the
Italians proceeded as directed and
were presently met by additional de-
tails of bluecoats, who disarmed the
strikers.
During the disturbance a number of
shots were fired and exciting incidents
were plentiful, but no person was seri
ously injured.

Witnesses Recognize Suspects in Suit
Case Mystery.
New York. Nov. 4.-The two men
under arrest at police headquarters
charged with homicide in connection
with the dress suit case mystery in
Boston have been positively identified
by several witnesses brought from
Boston for that purpose.
One of the men, William Howard,
Is said to have confessed that he and
his fellow prisoner, Louis Crawford,
alias Albert H. Emory, were the ones
who took the body from a hospital
on fremont street, Boston, and threw
the dismembered portions, which were
concealed in dress suit cases and a
hand satchel into Winthrop (Mass.)
harbor. Howard denies that he knows
anything about the cutting up of the
body, while Crawford refuses to say
word.
Boston officials arrived during the
morning with a cab driver, two pawn
brokers and a pawnbrokers clerk, all
of whom have given information re-
garding the case to the police. When
the cab driver saw Crawford he imme-
diately identified him as one of the
two men who were in his cab with
suit cases on the night when the girls
body was thrown into the harbor. He
also identified Howard as Crawford's
companion that night.
After this Identification had been
completed the two pawnbrollers and
the pawnbroker's clerk were admitted
to the prisoners presence and identi-
fed them both. Meyer Kaufman, the
clerk, said that Crawford, when he
entered the pawnbroker's store to get
dress suit case, said he had thirty
pounds of shot in the satchel he was
carrying and which is said to have
contained the head of the victim. This
satchel has not been recovered.

NOT KILLED BY A TRAIN
RICH NEW YORK WOMAN DEAE
WHEN PLACED ON RAIL.
ROAD TRACKS.

New York, Nov. 4.-Coroner Scholer,
following an autopsy on the body OF
Mrs. Margaretta Todd, the rich woman
who was found dead on the Reading
railroad tracks near Philadelphia
week ago, said that the woman could
not possibly have been struck by
train. He said she could easily have
been killed by some heavy weight fall
ing on her while she was inert, or by
pressure OF knee. The autopsy
showed that ribs had been fractured,
together with the breast bone, Hei
clothing, the coroner said, was not dis
arranged in the slightest, but was
smooth and neat. Had train struck
her, the coroner said, the clothing of
course would have been disarranged
and torn.
Coroner Scholer said that each gar.
ment Of Mrs. Todd's clothing imme.
diately above the ten fractured ribs
fitted her smoothly and he considered
the case to be one of the greatest
mystery. The vital organs, which will
be examined for the presence of poi
soncus drugs, were removed and pre-
pared for further examination.
