THROW ACID IN EGGS
Chicago Rioters Devise a Novel
Weapon

CHICAGO, April SIT was declared
by policemen that at Kinzie and Dear
born streets, during a strike fracas to-
day, acid filled eggshells were thrown
into the crowd. None of them did any
damage. Policeman Meyer picked UP
one of the missiles and his hand was
burned by the acid. Detectives could
get no clew as to who threw the eggs.
In final hope of preventing a great
er strike developing out Of the Mont
gomery Ward troubles, the Chicago
Employers association will seek a con-
ference with the union leaders. A COM
mittee headed by John V. Farewell Jr.
was appointed at meeting of employ
ers this eVenting to arrange a meeting
with the officials conducting the strike.
At. the employers meeting more than
thirty heads of large business concerns
were present. John Il. Pirie was chair
man. The meeting was hastened by
the serious outlook for a prolonged
and desperate struggle unless action
was taken to prevent it,
One of the most important develop
ments of the day was the boycotting of
the Windsor Clifton hotel The fact
that twelve nonunion men employed by
Montgomery Ward & Co. had found
lodging in the hotel came to the ears
of the union leaders and the place was
promptly put under the union ban.
Delivery of supplies to the hotel was
stopped tonight.

BROWN PERIL is
SEEN BY HAMMOND
Prophesies a Fierce Conflict
Between Victorious Japan
and United States

PHILADELPHIA, April S.--An in
/teresting feature of the ninth annual
meeting of the Society of Social and
Political Sciences today were the ad-
dresses of Baron Kaneko and John
Hays Hammond of New York. Baron
Kaneko made a brilliant appeal for
the sympathy of the American public
for his country in its conflict with Rus
sia, while Mr.. Hammond sounded what
is regarded as a warning note of the
danger to American commerce in the
event of final victory for the Japanese.
He said:
"Japan's strategetic position COM
mercially by reason of the suzerainty-
If not, indeed, the ownership-she will
establish over Korea and possibly Man
churia, will render her our most for
midable competitor in the far east
Americas interests in this respect will
undoubtedly run counter to those of
Japan. Japan is the only nation, as
view it, which can seriously compete
with us for commercial supremacy in
that part of the world. The contest
will undoubtedly be a bitter one, not
only because of our conflicting COM
mercial interests, but aggravated by
those racial antipathies even now ag-
itating our Pacific coast states.
In that section there is already a
strong movement to extend the prin-
ciple of the Chinese exclusion act so
as to include Japan also in its pro-
visions. Retaliation on the part Of
Japan will assuredly follow and she
will have it in her power to obstruct
our trade with the orient. The in
fluence of the sea power in the his
tory now making is the real writing on
the wall If Japan secures a war in
demnity from Russia, a large portion
of this will undoubtedly be expended
on increasing her fleet. The war in
wolves, then, that we, and Great Brit
ain also, must maintain formidable
naval forces with strong Pacific bases,
and that the most intimate relations
must characterize the diplomacy of the
two great English speaking nations"
The general topic at the afternoon
session was The settlement of polit-
ical affairs in the far east" which was
discussed in its various phases by
Baron Kaneko, Mr.. Hammond, Gen.
James H. Wilson and Charles Emory
Smith. At the concluding session to-
night the topic ''The factors of eff
cheney in modern warfare" was discus
sed by Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, Rear Ad-
miral George w. Melville, Col. w. w.
Wotherspoon, Col. II. II. Sharpe, Ad-
miral Frederick Rogers and others.

yards of the Newport News Shipbuild-

huge hulk of steel, gaily decorated

all the steam whistles in the vicinity
sounded their greetings to the ship. 1t
was just 11:25 o'clock, a few minutes
after schedule time, when the great
ship left the ways. Gov. Montague,
candidate for the United States senate
TO succeed Senator Martin, and the
senator himself, were prominent on the
stand.
Among the spectators there were

Special to The Globe

PIERRE, S. D., April s.-There is at
present residing temporarily in Sioux
Falls, under the care of Warden Sven
sor, a young man who made mistake
in the brand on a horse and an appli-
cation has been made to secure his re-
lease by pardon. A few days ago the
stepfather of the young man was in
this city, and desired to enter his per-
sonal plea before the governor for the
release of the young man. Not being
accustomed to talk to so high an official
he fortified himself with the brand of
courage which shows a bead when
shaken in the bottle, then went upon
his errand of mercy. He made an earn
est plea for the release of the boy from
associations which are not good for
a young man." and gave as clincher
for his reasons for asking the release.
that while in the penitentiary the boy
had to associate with an uncle and two
cousins, and that it was TO get him
away from such associations that the
pardon was desired.

ROJESTVENSkY TRICKS
THE JAPANESE NEATLY

ST. PETERSBURG, April s.-There
was great rejoicing last night at the
Admiralty, Yacht and other naval
clubs over Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
having successfully navigated the
gateway of the China sea without en-
countering the Japanese. The danger
of the fleet being beset by the wasps
of the deep in the narrow waters
which divide the breastworkS of ISL
ands of the Malay archipelago and the
possible damage to the big ships, so
precious in the coming encounter with
Vice Admiral Togo's fleet, was so great
that some of the naval experts ac-
tually favored a route around Aus
tralia.
The credit for the strategem by
which the feat was accomplished be-
longs solely to Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky, who accurately judged that as
the Malacca straits were the most
practicable as well as the most direct
route, the Japanese would calculate
that he would not dare to force a pas
sage there. Besides this, Rojestvensky
planned strategem TO deceive the
Japanese, with the secret of which
only two men in ST. Petersburg were
intrusted, by directing the Russian
admiralty to order the colliers which
were to follow him to rendezvous in
Sunda straits, 500 miles southwark of
Singapore, feeling sure that the Jap
anese intelligence department would be
equal, as it probably was, to the task
of ascertaining the destination of Ro-
jestvensky, and thereby not only threw
the Japanese off the scent, but officially
deceived his own admiralty, where the
news of the fleet having passed Singa-
pore probably created quite as much
surprise as it did in the marine de-
partment at Tokyo. Several Golfers
were actually dispatched to the rem
devious and many already had fallen
into the hands of the Japanese. but
Rojestvensky deliberately sacrificed
them as pawns in bigger game.
That the ruse worked is apparent
from the fact that Rojestvensky did
not meet single japanese ship in. the
straits of Malacca, while dispatches
from Batavia tell of Sunda, Bali, Lon
box, Flores and other straits to the
southwark being crowded with Japa-
nese torpedo boats guarding the pas
sages. Although there is some talk of
possibility of Vice Admiral Roiest-
vensky now putting in at Saigon.
Cochin China, it is not believed that
