RATHER THAN SURRENDER.
Employers Declare They Will Let
Business stagnate.


Chicago, May Sc. H. Conover,
vice president of Hibbard, Spencer,
Bartlett & Co., said that the employ
ers of Chicago are agreed to lock up
their doors and let business stagnate
rather than surrender to the Team
sters' union. This. he said, would be
the rule of his own house. The state
ment was brought out by report that
the company was about to return to
union drivers.
Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett, after
making a tour of the shopping dis
trict, where he believed rioting might
be likely to follow the greatly in
creased delivery plans of the retail
merchants, said:
"The serious trouble seems to be
over. The strike situation is now
well i'll the hands of the authorities
and look for a continuation OF com
parative quiet and tranqn4:iity. | am
glad that the employers have decided
not to engage any more negroes.
When l was brought into this matter
for conference | unhesitatingly in
formed the merchants that the use of
negroes for strike breakers was caus-
ing more rioting than any other factor
in the fight to win from the unions"
President Charles Dold of the Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor denied with force and
accuracy statement from member
of the Employers association that the
employers had already won the strike.
THE unions have not touched at the
edge of their resources yet, said Pres
ident Dold. '1'he strike has not been
won by the Employers association.
The unions have only started They
know they have a big fight and ex-
pect long one. There is no surren-

Vessels of VIadivostok Fleet Burn
Small Sailing Craft.
Toxic, May S.-Four Russian tor
pedo boat destroyers from Vladivostok
have appeared westward of Hokkaido.
They seized and burned small sail
ing vessel and imprisoned the captain
and disappeared to the northwest.
They were evidently returning to
VladivostOk. There is a possibility
that they have destroyed other small
craft, although no reports to that eff
feet have been received.
The object of their visit is not clear.
1t is thought that probably they hoped
to torpedo the Japanese patrol at
night and it is also suggested that the
VladiNostok vessels pIan a diversion
to assist the feet of Admiral Rojest-
vensky.
Although none has been sighted it
is believed the larger vessels of the
torpedo boats. 1t is doubted that the
torpedo boats would venture across
unescorted in the heavy sea which
was running when they burned the
sailing vessel.
All the crew of this vessel except
the captain, who was captured, sue
ceeded in landing, but a steamer dis
patched to the rescue of the burning
derelict was forced to return on ac-
count of the storm. The Russians
poured kerosene on the deck of the
sailing vessel and withdrew after hav-
ing ignited the surface of the oil.

After walking through the streets an6
watching the moving caravans OF wag

clusion that peace is near. The lead
ers of the teamsters, however, say that
the strike has not been won by the
Employers association.
Many additional wagons were moved
during the day and the deliveries
down town and in the residence dis
tricts were largely increased. The
threats Of the police to arrest those
who follow escorted wagons has had
an excellent effect.

TELLS OF SCRATCHED HANDS.
Dr.. Koch's Sweetheart on Stand ir
Murder Trial.

ManEato, Mimi, May S.-Miss Fitz-
patrick, DR.. Koch's sweetheart, was
the first witness Of the day called by
the defense. She blushed modestly
when Attorney Abbott showed her a
green upholstered perfumery box and
said that DR.. Koch gave it to her on
her birthday.
She told of a ride she took with Dr.
Koch on the Sunday before the muir
der. Koch carried his gun with him
and got out to hunt along the road.
The horses became frightened and
started to run away, but Koch stopped
them. When the doctor visited her
the night after the drive she noticed
scratch on his hand.
Miss Fitzpatrick said Koch called on
her the night Of the murder and left
at 8 o'clock. He wore a cravenette

has been added to the teamsters' strike
fund by the employees of the Union
Traction company. The street car
men voted some time ago to aid the
strikers and when they received their
pay an agent of their union was on
hand to collect $3.50 from each man.
All the $500 employees were approached
for payment of this amount.

WET WEATHER INTERFERES.
Chatter of Brickbats Gives Way tc
Patter of Rain.

Chicago, May S.-The patter of rain
bats, formed welcome novelty dur
ing the day for the employers side of
the teamSterS strike situation. Wet
weather was perhaps more influential
even than police and deputy sheriffs
in giving a more peaceful aspect to
the streets. Much Of the time Wagons
belonging to sLr1REbounu firms meyed
freely without the slightest sign Of in
reference.
Withdrawal of colored teamsters to
some extent was a factor in producing
quiet. A notable instance occurred at
the plant Of the n. K. Fairbank COM
pany. Negroes sent by the Employ
ers' association to the plant to drive
teams were rejected by the Fairbank
company. Rather than have trouble
in escorting teams through the streets
the company decided to send out no
teams unless white drivers were fur
nished.
Street disturbances, though greatly
lessened, did not wholly disappear.
Rioters attacked Charles McIntire, q
. a
colored man, at Cottage Grove avenue
and TWenty-siXth street, beating him
almost to death with "blackjacks." !"
Another typical disturbance occurred
while eight wagons belonging to the
Franklin MacVeagh company were be-
ing escorted north in Desplaines street.
Shots were fired from crowd at Har-
rison street. No one was injured and
no arrests were made, the police be-
ing unable to learn who did the shoot
ing.
A new eXpedient was tried during
the day in an effort to provide addi-
tional protection to drivers of boycott
ted business houses. Many of the
State street department stores had a
number of employees sworn in as dep
uty sheriffs, who accompanied the wag-
ons on delivery trips. One department

feited by Cornelius Godfrey of No. 1924 9Th

him for running gaming house was called
in Police Court before Judge Scott this
morning. Godfrey was arrested Saturday
night in a raid on his place on 9th street

Officers Shelby, McGrath and McQuaid Of
the second precinct.

man who had been to the place. that al
though it was in a residence part of the
city. the place was used for immoral pur-
poses, chiefly for playing poker and seven
up. The officer determined to raid the
house. About the middle of the evening
the five policemen in citizens clothes went
for the raid. One was hidden while two
others went to the door Sergeant Sprinkle
asked for a person whom he knew to be
there and quickly made move to get
into the door. He met opposition from the
man who had opened the door and from
two women who were inside. By means
below the players upstairs were warned
Sergeant Sprinkle made dash upstairs
and with a jump at the door he broke ITS
lock and tumbled into the room.
The warning from below had been timely
and no money was in sight when the officer
entered the room, There were ten men
there, and several admitted. however, that
they had been playing poker. All were
taken TO the SlauOn mousse CarQS ana
