CONTROL. OF SPRINKLING.
City Desires Jurisdiction to PreUent
Danger to Traffic.

The fight for city control OF the sanding and
sprnkling Of the citys streets is being waged with
all the energy of the city department officials who
interested the Merchants Association. the So
cety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
and ether organizations. The same old pleas for
delay that have prevented the passage Of
sprinkling bill for several sessions have appeared
Albany and apparently the same old interests
working against it.
The private corporation which has enjoyed a
monopoly Of sprinkling the streets for many years
has not yet sent its carts. The spTinklins
usually begins April Is. So far this season the
only sprinklinG done has been by the city. and
that without authority 1t is said that the private
legislature adjourns, when they hope to continue
as in past years
The latest move in the legislative fight is com
munication from Assemblyman Prentice. who has
introduced the latest sprinkllng bill. to Commits

Refusal of the garment workers, In aid OF whom
the teamsters went on strike to be parties to

ances against a number. led to a disruption OF the
committee managing the strike. and the collapse OF
the struggle Announcement OF the cessation Of
the strike made at midnight.
The following OfHciai statement was issued by this
strike committee OF the teamsters- -~
Owing to the fact that the teamsters refuse TO
spread the strike TO other houses than Montgomery
Ward & Co. and she garment workers were
positive In their belief that they could not satisfy
their members unless the strike extended to
the larger clothing houses and since the committees
could not harmonic that proposition, II was
thought best for the teamsters to withdraw FROM

to wait on the employers to-day to obtain their

PINCKNEY CASE ARREST.
Son of Anti-Prohibitiouist Held on
Murder Charge.

Hampstead. Tex. April 25.-As result OF the
bloody battle here last night, when four men
were killed and others were wounded. Hemp
stead is tonight under the control Of the Texas
Rangers Martial law has not been declared.
but Adjutant General HuIen arrived tonight
with number OF rangers and assumed charge
of affairs. No one is permitted to bear arnsa
and the excitement has quieted down tonight.
RoIlan Brown. the son of one Of the men killed
at the Prohibition mass meeting last night. was
to-day placed under arrest on a charge Of fring
the shot which killed Representative John NJ.
Pinckney. He stated that his father was under
the influence Of intoxicants when he attended
the meeting. and that he attempted to dissuads.
him from attending. His father was firm how
ever. in his intention, and went to the meeting.
The son followed and took part in the shooting.
The trouble began when Captain Brown att
tempted to secure recognition to speak al the
meeting. It is said that his language was onen-
sive to several women present and the fIsillads-
began Immediately afterward Congressman
Pinckney was shot four times. and was almost
instantly killed. Thomas Pinckney. a brother Of,
the Congressman. was shot twice I'm the back
and killed. and Captain Brown received a bull
let through the heart. John r Mills the re-
manning victim. took no part in the affair. and
was killed by stray bullet.
The killings are a direct result OF a ProhIbi-
tion movement in Waller County which was be-
gun several years ago. The feeling has been in
tense An election was held in Waller County
on april 20. and the Prohibitionists with whom
the Pinckneys were affiliated, were successful.
The Prohibition League was called together last
night to wind up it's affairs and disband. A
resolution requesting the Governor of Texas 70
send troops to Waller County for the purpose Of
enforcing the law against liquor sellers was eN
citedly debated It at this 1uncture that
Captain n. NJ. Brown, who had figured as an
anti -PrOhibitionist sought TO have the chairman
recognize him.
To-day 1t was reported that friends and reIa-
tives Of the participants IN the bloody affray
had been asked to come to Hampstead and "
was feared that further trouble would result
Tonight however, cooler counsel had prevailed.
and the little town is quiet. A number OF
Rangers will remain here to preserve law and
order should the occasion arise.
