LAWLESSNESS
RUNS RIOT.
UNION MEN ANE STRIKE BREAKERS
ENGAGE IN BLOODY CONFLICTS
IN CHICAGO
ONE DEAD, MANY INJURED
Strike Assumes New Phase. More
Trouble is Expected.

Chicago. May 2.-The death OF
one man and the injury of scores of
others was the immediate result of
today's fighting between the strik-
ing teamsters and their sympathiz-
ers on the one side aud the police
and the non-union men on the
other. There were riots in all
parts Of the city, Men were club
bed and stoned almost to death
within a square Of police head
quarters aud FIVE miles away men
were shot down in the streets. AT
a hundred places between these
two extremes of distance there
were assaults and fights in the
streets. Blood was shed on State
street in the heart of the fashiona-
BILE shopping district, and furious
riots took place almost in the door
ways Of the leading hotels. Non
union men were pelted with stones
bricks and every other conceivable
sort of missiles. They were drag
ged from their wagons, be aten,
clubbed andH stamped upon. The
mobs that followed the wagons on
which they rode were ugly in the
extreme, and but for the splendid
service rendered by the police the
list of dead would be twenty instead
of one.
In return the non-union men,
although hopelessIy outnumbered
in every struggle, fought desper-
ately. In several instances they
drew their revolvsr> and emptied
them into the crowds tnat pressed
their wagons peltiug them with
stones aud threatening their lives.
The colored drivers were especially
quick with their guns. A number
of non.union men carried heavy
clubs and they swung them with
terrific effect throughout the day.

As far as can be ascertained to-
night the list of injured numbers in
the neighborhood Of forty, but it
is far from being accurate. Many
men were in the mobs that attack
ed the wagons went down bsfore
the clubs of the police and the
wagon guards. but they were car
ried away by their friends, and
there is no chance of learning their
names or even guessing at their
number.
The outlook for tomorrow is for
more fighting and there is not the
least evidence of the approaching
end of the strike.
The strike situation in Chicago
assumed peculiar aspect today,
and tonight the opposition to the
teamsters is not as united as here
tofore. The cause of this slight
dissension is the Team Owners
Association, which has contracts
with the railroads and many of the
large firms throughout the city to
transfer their merchandise. Until
today it was supposed that the
Employers Association and their
allies were firmly bound together
in the fight for supremacy against
the teamsters, The TeamOwners
Association, which employs none
but union teamsters, fatty refused
this afternoon to make deliveries to
any of the firms now involved in
the strike, when ordered to do so
by the Employers Association.
When the Employers Association
received this ultimstum they noti-
fed the team owners that unless
they recognized the request that
no discrimination be made in de-
liveries, an effort would be made to
have all existing contracts between
the team owners and the business
houses and the railroads cancelled.
The railroad men, contrary to
the hopes of the members of the
Employers Association, did not
exert the influence on the team own
ers that was expected. They took
practically the same stand, declar-
lug that the fight was something
into which the railroads did not pro-
pose to enter; that they had con-
tracts with the team owners; that
these contracts were at present being
fulfilled to their entire satisfaction
and they could see no reason why
the railroads should be dragged in
to the struggle.
The commission team owners and
the Lake Transportation Team
Owners Associations have also taken
similar stand to that of Chicago
Team Owners Association.

LAWTON TO IMPROVE STREETS
Commercial Club Takes up the Question
and Urges Action

i A special meeting of the Com
mercial club was held Saturday
night for the purpose Of hearing
and passing upon formal report
prepared by they committee ap-
pointed to make investigation for
the law regarding the constructions
of sidewalks. The meeting was
we'll attended and discussions of the
different phrases of the proposition
elected good deal of enthusiasm.
The report of the committee was
adopted. 1t is lengthy one, recit-
ing III full all points of the Okla
homa statues that bear upon the
matter of sidewalk construction as
contemplated by the Power resolut-
ion. AT the conclusion the com
mittee recommended that perman-
ent sidewalks be constructed in the
residence portion of the city, that
all streets be curbed and placed to
grade, that the business streets be
paved, guttered and curbed and
permanent walks be constructed.
and that in conjunction with these
Improvements the storm sewer to
be completed.
The committee recommended
that the club pass proper resolutions
presenting the matter for the con-
sideration Of the city council. This
will be done at the next meeting
and two weeks hence the council
will pass upon the matter.
The discussion Of the Powers re-
solution both during the session OF
the Commercial club and among the
the citizens generally has served to
create strong sentiment favoring
the carrying out its provisions.

be made if sufficient number of
the property owners make object

THE JUDGES
INSTRUCTIONS
TO THE GRAND JURY AT RYAN.
GOES AFTER BOOT-LEGGERS
AND GAMBLING
He SAYS SPARE NO ONE
And Intimates that there May be
Trouble in High Places.

Judge Dickerson opened court at
Ryan Monday. In his instructions
to the grand jury he had the fol-
lowing to say on gambling and
illicit liquor dealing:
/ am instructed by the Statute
to call your attention to the gaming
laws, and to the laws against the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. And
| am sure that | need not call your
attention, as intelligent men,
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, to-
those particular laws in our COM
munity, for l know full well that
if there is any violation of these
laws shown, that you would not
hesitate for a moment, if your
judgment told you that the evil
dence was sufficient to find true
bill. Men Of your age, men of
business experience, have seen en-
ough thus far in life to convince
your own mind that no one influ-
ence is so bad in the community as
the gambling houses and their vari-
GUS influences. 1t does not take
Judge to tell the ordinary man that
permeanting throughout every part
of the community is the bad influ-
ence upon society of the gambler
and his cnstituents; that vagrancy
follows in his trail; that robbery and
thieving and robbers and thieves a.
bide in his dwelling place; that the
gambling den is the nest and breed
ing place Of all, or practically all
Of the numerous crimes of that
class that befall every community;
that their influence goes all
through the society in which they
are permitted to dwell. Men of
your age have seen the young man
go down, young men of intelli-
/ gence and education, and of good
family surroundings; you have seen
them go down to destruction and
ruin under the influence of these
\ places.
The same can be said Of the viol-
alton of the law against the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors. 1t would be
idle for me to take your time to call
your attention to the demoralizing
influence the sale of Intoxicating
liquor causes. Every one of you
have observed the daunkard' 5 wife
in the community, and the drunk
ards children, and the pouerty anc
distress that follow wherever the
sale of Intoxicating liquors is per
'mitted in that follow wherever The
sale of intoxicating liquors is per
