This move was brought about by
the great amount of cement walk that

people.

repairs are necessary hut, as the life

Warsaw. May 26.-Jewish disturb
ances continued all day and were
still in progress late last night. Eight
persons are already killed, 100
wounded, 10 seriously. Damage TO
property has been considerable There
has been no pillaging. but destruction
of furniture has been absolute
A mob armed with axes smashed
doors and windows and brought fur
niture out on the streets where they
broke IL into small pieces Owners
of the furniture in attempting to de-
fend their belongings were attacked
beaten and even killed. Knives and
revolvers were used freely and many
persons were terribly injured.
Authorities took no steps 10 pre-
vent the riots until late last night
when Cossacks fired on the crowds at
two points, wounding four persons.
During the day patrols occasionally
appeared, but they regarded the pro-
ceedings as merely spectators.
Character of the disturbances is
Unprecedented. The whole affair is
a conflict between respectable Jewish
socialistic classes and the disreput-
able Jewish element. Socialists de-
termined on crusade against unde-
sirable persons of their own race.
with the result that crowds of men
and boys are now Systematically ruin
ing disreputable houses.
Extraordinary scenes were wit
messed late last night. when crowds
visited the better section of the city.
and demolished apartments filled with
costly effects. Wardrobes, pianos and
mirrors were thrown out of the win
dows.
The mob in the streets left open
spaces for the falling articles and
then completed their work of destruc-
ton. In one place a quantity of val
liable jewelry was taken out and de-
liberately smashed with stones.
The whole affair was carefully or
ganized. Leaders were supplied with
addresses of owners of the disreput-
able houses and scarcely a single re-
sort in Warsaw escaped destruction.

who lives on West Michigan street
with his two sons, who conduct sa-
loon. was taken suddenly i'll and fell
over, apparently dead. The sons call

old man dead. The coroner and un-
dertaker were sent for and arrange
ments for the funeral were begun.
AS the undertaken bent over the sup
posed corpse the old man rose up
from the bier and asked what was 60
ing on. He yawned, stretched out
his arms and said he would like to
have glass of beer and a bowl of
soup. He is in apparently good health
today and bids fair 10 live many
more years.

AT FEVER HEAT
PHILADELPHIA GAS FIGHT is
NOW WAXING HOT.
Mayor Weaver Throws Directors Out
Bodily and Public Interest
IL Great.

Philadelphia, May 26.-The bit
ter feeling that has been engendered
by the gas lease fight was intensified
late yesterday when Mayor Weaver
practically elected from the Office of
the departments of public safety and
public works his two former directors
and again installed the men appoint
ed by him on Tuesday night. The
moment the news flashed through the
great city building that the old direc-
tors wree out and the new men in
rumors flew thick and fast that a
Wholesale dismissal of bureau chiefs
and other officials was about to oc-
cur.
The news created considerable ex-
element in the city hall and on the
political "Rialto," and nearly all that
were interested assembled in the vi
entity Of the mayors Office to learn of
the next move. This came quickly,
but from an unexpected quarter-the
state supreme court. While the mayor
was ordering his old directors out of
their Office his attorneys appeared in
the supreme court and obtained a
special supersedeas suspending the
injunction granted TO the old direc-
tors yesterday by the county court
Another dramatic incident was the
ovation given Mayor Weaver by sew
eral thousand persons on his way
from the city hall to the Union
League for lunch. 1t was sensa-
tional demonstration and was looked
upon by those opposed to the lease
as an indication of the trend of pop
ular sentiment

PRESIDENT SHEA
WAS BX0NBRAYED
Two Leaders Of the Transfers
in Contempt OF Court.
Little Violence Is Now Reported
From Chicago's Big
Strike.
NO SETTLEMENT IS IN SIGHT

Chicago, May 26.--President Shea
of the International Transfers I'M
ion, was upheld yesterday by Judge
Kohlsaat, of the federal court, In his
refusal to answer questions before
Master in Chancery Sherman Shea
is under Indictment in the criminal
court and Judge Kohlsaat declared
that answers to some of the ques-
tions might prejudice the hearing of
his case
In the same decision which excus-
ed Shea the court ruled that Ber-
nard MuIligan. president of the Elk
press Drivers union, and John Don
ohue, member of the same union,
had refused to answer questions
which could not in any way connect
them with any criminal proceedings
and they were therefore In contempt
of court He sentenced both men to
Jail but allowed them to remain In
nominal custody in the hands of the
United States Marshal Ames for FIVE
days in order that their attorneys
may perfect a review on habeas cor
pus proceedings before another fed
eral judge.
During the hearing the court room
was crowded with labor leaders and
members of the Transfers union
and many representatives of the
employers. AT the conclusion of the
hearing large crowd gathered
about Attorney Mayer, who had ask
ed the court to commitfthe men for
contempt, President Shea edged his
way through the crowd to the attor-
ney and they shook hands.
For the first time since the COM
mencement of the strike large
number of coal wagons handled by
colored teamsters passed Through
the down town streets without police
protection. None of them were mo-
Tested in anyway. Large State street
stores also made deliveries going
even into the outskirts of the city
without guards and no trouble was
experienced.
O'Neill did not meet today with re-
spouse expected when they called
yesterday for 1000 volunteers for
additional policemen. Not over 100
men responded and only three quar-
ters of these proved acceptable. In
the lumber districts several concerns.
when offered police protection, refus-
ed to accept it, saying il was not pos
sible for them to make deliveries un-
less their wagons were guarded by
soldiers, Chief of Police O'Neill re-
piled that he would not force Off
GERS upon them and that they could
wait for soldiers. if they so desired,
but that he would cause their yards
and territory around them TO be pa
trolled by his officers.

said: Organizations within the de-

character. With any other purpose
in view, they are detrimental to the

meeting to be worthy one and
have come here today because | want
you to feel that the postmaster gener-
al is interested in every proper eff
fort to raise the standard of efficiency
in the postoffice department.
Efficient as the postal service is,
there is still a sad lack of good bust
ness as in some OF It's branches ana
many years of routine methods haye
brought about on inertia that is diff
cult to overcome. | think we have al
together too much red tape in the
department. think we go around
too many corners instead of making
straight cuts to results. But these
weaknesses and difficulties should be
but incentives to every man and wo-
man in the service to raise its stand
