LACE MERCHANT CONVICTED.
Made False Representations of Assets
to, Mercantile Company.

New York May 2s-Louis Levin, at
one time a lace merchant of this city,
and who later engaged IN business in
indianapolis under the name of the
Great Western Undergarment company,
was found guilty of grand larceny in the
second degree. The maximum penalty
for the offense is five years in the peni-
tentiary In finding Levin guilty, the
jury incidentally decided that furnishing
TO a mercantile agency a false state
ment as to ones financial condition is as
much crime as giving iach statement
directly to a creditor.
The prosecution showed that in De-
cem.er, 1902, Levin hande. to a mercan-
tile agency a statement to the effect that
his assets were $4,000 in excess of his
liabilities and obtained credit on the
strength of the false rating. 1t also was
shown that in June, l. when he be-
came bankrupt and fled from New York
he caused goods worth many thousands
of dollars to be shipped TO indianapolis.
where he later engaged in business. He
will be sentenced Friday.

The possibilities for increased rioting
are vastly enlarged by the spread OF
the strike to the lumber district The ter
rltory which generally goes to make up
this district extends along the river from
east to west, about three and one-half
miles, and probably a mile to the north
and south of the stream.
1t is a district noted for the fierce mobs
which have marched through It during
former strikes and the place has inva-
ria bly, caused more trouble than any other
part of the city. The city officials are
well nigh hopeless to maintain order in
the lumber district and at the same time
protect wagons In the down town streets
as they have been doing thus far in the
strike. Ii would require force of at
least 2000 men to effectually patrol the
lumber district alone, and this number
the city and county have not to spare.
1t has, therefore, been determined that
with the first outbreak of rioting such as
marked the strike ten days ago. the call
will be made on Governor Deneen for
military assistance.
Sheriff Barrett said tonight
Will Call for Troops.
AT the first outbreak of trouble which
in any way approaches the rloting we
have had. l will call for troops l will
~ tNSiAAHlliS III iliA pvNtA u maintain
order. but the minute II gets beyond
me, / will appeal to the governor, and
the troops will be on the grounds within
less than two hours.
THE troops which will be the first or
dered out, if the necessity arises, COM
pose the first brigade of the Illinois Ma
tional guard commanded by Brigadier
George E. Moulton. 1t comprises
the first, second, seventh and eighth reg
iments of infantry the last being color
ed regiment and the first regiment of
cavalry, In all about 1000 men.
Every 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 bullet In that they contain
three buckshot each in place of a steel
bullet"

ALL HOPE OF ENDING BIC
CHICAGO STRIKE IS GONE

Four hundred and sixty-two delivery
drivers employed by twenty-eight firms
belonging to the Lumbermen's association
went out today In each case the men
were ordered to make deliveries to boy
cotted houses, and the usual strike fol-
lowed. Other firms to the number of
fifty-five, belonging to the Lumbermen's
exchange will make similar requests of
their men tomorrow, and by night it is
expected the full number of 2000 drivers
employed by these lumber concerns will
be on strike.
A meeting of the United Employers AS
sociation of Wood Industries, which is
composed of five associations embracing
1S5 firms owning lumber yards, planning
mills, sash and door factories, etc. was
held today and il was decided to call up
on their drivers to make deliveries. This
will force out 1900 additional men.
Edward Hines. president of the Asso-
citation of Wood Industries, said today
that the members of the organization pro-
posed to stand together and when asked
II peace was in sight said;
Not Looking for Peace.
"Peace l am not loking for peace
am in this thing now to fight 1t out.
We may just as well have II over once
for all. The Employers Association of
Wood Industries is affiliated with the
Chicago Employers association which
has been fighting the strike thus far, and
of course we will work in conjunction
with them"
With the union drivers employed by the
lumbermen's association on strike, 1t will
be only a matter Of short time until
outside unions will become involved in
the trouble. Just as soon as the build
ing material on hand now has been
used up, and an attempt is made to make
deliveries with non-union drivers, the
other labor unions employed on the work
will order their men to refuse to handle
non-union material Unless the strike is
settled within a short time. the carpenters,
stone masons and other affiliated organlz-
ations are bound to become involved In
the difficulty

Atlanta, May 23.-(Special)-The Ma

In Atlanta for about a week, found itself
in more trouble this morning when the
grand jury, after an investigation lasting
several hours, returned ten true bills of
indictment against the proprietors and
employees of the place, charging them with
violating the state laws against gaming
None of the names of those indicted were
made public by the sheriff, who declined
to furnish any information until all the
arrests had been made. However. as only
four of the employees of the place were
fined in the recent hearing in the record

Arnold withdrew the petition for in

The police department has kept couple

In demurrer to the petition for in

of honor tonight at a farewell dinner
given by the Republican club. In at

and among those at the chairman's table
were Sir Percy Sanderson, the British
counsel-general; Senator Depew, Gen.
Frederick d. Grant, former Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith, and Chas.
P. Talcott of Philadelphia.
Mr., Reid said at the outset that he did
not enter upon the discharge of his duties
as a partisan. mo politics." he con-
tinued, will or can be known in the
embassy. democrats or republicans, in
dependents or prohlbitionists, populists,

to regard the American ambassador as

Aludes to Hays Humor.
In closing, Mr.. Reid referred with ap
probation to the illuminating phrase of
our great Secretary of State when in a
humorous vein he told us that our foreign
policy consists chiefly in the golden rule,
and the Monroe doctrine"
1T requires, said Mr.. Reid, "but an

comprehensive To the golden rule and
the Monroe doctrine, we need only add
the declaration of Independence doctrine
to sam up the whole body of state de-
partment instructions for our dealings
with foreign relations. None here, no
New Yorker, no American ever forgets
the declaration of independence doctrine
If any man hauls down the American
flag shoot him on the spot. Neither that
nor the Monroe doctrine is international
law, but both are sure to remain indefi-
nitely fundamental parts of American in
ternational policy and when you illumine
both by the golden rule, you have set
forth what firmly believe is the sincere
and devout wish of the United States
with regard to all its foreign relations
and the work of all its Representatives in
diplomatic service"

Sir Percy SanderSon speaking for Sir
Mortimer Duran, the British ambassador
said that 1t was one of those rare occa-

with impunity within a political club. He
complimented the American people upon
their selection of their ambassador. Mr.
Reid he said would be at horne in Eng
land, and would do much to continue the
friendly relations now happily existing be-

Mr.. Reid that the British nation would

 New Orleans, March 6.-The cotton mar ket today was Just what it might have been expected to be, dull. dragging sort of af- fair or the very one taking more interest in the doings of the carnival than in what little trading was done.
 From the opening the ring was lifeless and the volume of trade extremely small i; there was little or nothing for sale, while the demand was firm, being furnished by the increasing nervousness of the shorts over the May situation fin New York which the bulls there seem to have held in hand and by growing desire on the part of scalpers to reap profits on the long side. shorts showed no aggressiveness whatever and the market had a good undertone.
 Prices were well above the closing of Sat urday during the greater part of the day.
 The opening was quiet with prices from l to 3 points higher than the final prices of last week. Liverpool was about as ex- pectsd and New York came in steady with prices from to points up. The interest of the market was centsred on the May position. which prominent interests are said to be selling but which received continued support by certain aggressive bulls.
