RIOT CARTRIDGES ARE ISSUED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 23.-All prospects of
peace in the teamsters' strike have dis
appeared and it will now be open war.
The last conference looking toward a
peaceable adjustment was held at
O'Clock tonight between James B. Bar
ry, business agent of the Express
Drivers union, and the local managers
of the seven express companies.
Business, Agent Barry said: "I want
all the men reinstated except those who
have been guilty of violence. The men
all want to go back to work in body
or not at all"
The reply of the express companies
was: "Our opposition to the reinstate-
ment of the men will be the same four
years from now as it is today. We
will not take them back under any cir
cumstances."
The spread of the strike today was
not as large as was anticipated. -Four
hundred and sixty-two drivers en-
ployed by twenty-eight firms belonging
to the Lumbermen's association went
out
Edward Hines, president of the Asso-
citation of Wood Industries, said to-
night that the members of the organ
ization proposed to stand together, and
when asked if peace was in sight, said:
peace! I am not looking for peace.
am in this thing now to fight it out.
We may just as we'll have it over once
for ALL"
With the union drivers employed by
the Lumbermens association on strike
it will be only matter of a short time
until outside unions will become af-
fected. Unless the strike is settled
within a short time the carpenters
stonemasons and other affiliated organ
izations are bound to become involved
The possibilities for increased riot
ing are vastly enlarged by the spread
OF the strike to the lumber district
The territory which generally goes un-
der this designation extends along the
river from east to west about three
miles, and for mile to the north and
south of the stream. 1t is a district
1lOIeu lOf lne HeTce InODS WIlCH nave
marched through it during former
strikes. The city officials and Sheriff
Barrett feel wellnigh hopeless of be-
ing able to maintain order in the lum-
Der district and at the same time pro-
tect wagons in the downtown streets.
1t. has therefore been determined that
at the first outbreak of rioting cali
will be made on Governor Deneen for
military assistance.
Sheriff Barrett said tonight: "At the
first outbreak of trouble which in any
way approaches the rioting we have
had, I shall call for troops, and the
troops will be on the ground within two
hours" tE
The troops will be commanded by
Rrigadier General Moulton. In all,
about 1000 men will be called out Ev-
cry preparation has been made for a
prompt response by the National
Guard and a large consignment of riot
cartridges has been received. These
differ from the ordinary rifle bullets in
that they contain three buckshot each
in place OF the single steel bullet.

OFFICE HOLDERS
HAVE TO RESIGN
MAYOR WEAVERWILL CONDUCT
BITTER FIGHT
MAYOR WEAVER WILL MAKE
Chief Executive Is Opposed to Gas
BoodIers, and Has Twenty
Thousand Officers at
His Mercy
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 23.-Di-
rector of Public Works Costello and
Director of Public Safety Smyth today,
at the request of Mayor Weaver ten
dered their designations. This is the
latest and most startling development
in the fight against the lease for rs
years of the city gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company.
Each official in rendering his resig-
nation used the phrase "to take effect
when my successor has qualified.
These words are taken in political cir
cles to indicate a determination to
hold on to the offices as long as possi-
BILE. Mayor Weaver notified Costello
and Smyth that the form of the resig-
nations was not satisfactory, and he
gave them two hours to resign without
qualification, on pain of removal from
office. No such political sensation has
been sprung here in the last twenty
five years. Now that the mayor has
declared war on the Republican organ
ization leaders who placed him in Of
flee it is expected that a bitter fight
will be waged during the remaining
two years of his term.
Including policemen and firemen
there are upwards of 10000 office hold
ers in Philadelphia and practically all
of them are at the mercy of the may
or.
Will Show No Quarter
The Organization" leaders, headed
by State Insurance Commissioner Dur
ham, expect that no mercy will be
shown and that every supporter of the
Organization" will be removed from
office.
The mayors first move will be to re-
move from office all the forty-three
ward leaders who continue their fealty
to Mr. Durham.
The present fight grew out of the de-
termination of the Organization"
leaders to raise $25, 100000 for public
expenses by leasing the city gas works
to the United Gas Improvement COM
pany for rs years. The mayor was ut
terly ignored in the transaction and
he has been urged by the newspapers
and reform organizations to veto the
ordinance of the council putting the
deal into effect. This he has insisted
he will do and the leaders will pass it
over his veto.
The mayor has announced that he is
in the fight to the bitter end which
means that great political battle is
on now and will be carried to the polls
next November. He has called in as
council Elihu Root of New York and
Former Judge James Gordon of this
city.

lumbus Ought to Have Waited

CHICAGO, April 13.-"Oone of the
greatest misfortunes to America" said
Professor J. Paul Goods of the Uni
versity of Chicago, to the junior col
lege students in division meeting, lis
that Columbus discovery was made
too soon. 1t would have been immeas-
urably better for the western hemis-
phere if it had not been heard of for
hundred years after 1892"
century later, the professor ex-
planned, Europe was advanced further
than in the days of the Genoese navi-
cation. In 1900 it would have been in
better condition to take upon itself the
settlement and development Of a new
continent. There might have been a
different kind of growth, which would
have been better than that which final
ly resulted.
The professor refrained from going
in more detail into what might nave
been. He asserted that he had no per-
sonal quarrel with Columbus because
of the latter's achievements The sail
or's intentions were good, according to
| tthe professor, and he should not be
held accountable for the harm he un-
Willingly did. 1t was a mistake, but
! his object was worthy.

concluded Professor Goode. He did
what others mad failed to do and he
doubtless deserves his monument
