FIGHTING IN CHICAGO FIERCER
THAN EVER
MINISTER VICTIM OF ASSAULT
Besides Attacks on Non-UnIon Men
Many Persons Having No con-
nection With Trouble Are
Victims Of Hoodlums
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 2.-The death Of one
man and the injury of scores Of others
was the immediate result of today's
fighting between the striking team
sters and their sympathizers on the
one side and the police and the nom
union men on the other. There were
riots in all parts of the city. Men
were clubbed and stoned almost to
death within a square of police head
quarters and five miles away men were
shot down in the streets. At hun
dred places between these two ex-
tremes of distance there were assaults
and fights in the streets. Blood was
shed on State street, in the heart of
the fashionable shopping district and
furious riots took place at almost the
doorways of the leading hotels. Nom
union men were pelted with stones,
bricks and every other conceivable sort
of missiles. They were dragged from
their wagons, beaten, clubbed and
stamped upon. The mobs that followed
the wagons on which they rode were
ugly in the extreme, and but for the
splendid service rendered by the police
the list of dead would be twenty in
stead Of one.
NonsUnion Men Resist
In return the non-union men, ala
though hopelessly outnumbered in ev-
cry struggle, fought desperately. In
several instances they drew their re-
volvers and emptied them into the
crowds that pressed around their wag-
ons, pelting them with stones and
threatening their lives. The colored
drivers especially were quick with
their weapons. Large numbers of nom
union drivers carried heavy clubs and
they swung them with terrific force
throughout the day. AS far as can be
ascertained tonight the list of injured
numbers in the neighborhood of forty,
but is far short of being accurate.
Many men who were in the mobs that
attacked the wagons went down be-
fore the clubs of the police and of the
wagon guards, but they were carried
away by their friends, and there is no
chance of learning their names or Of
even guessing at their number.
More Fighting Expected
The outlook for tomorrow is for more
fighting and there is not the slightest
evidence of the approaching end of the
strike.
The strike situation assumed pecu-
liar aspect today and tonight the in
terests which have been opposing the
striking teamsters are not as united as
heretofore. The cause of this slight
dissension is the Team Owners asso-
citation, which has contracts with the
railroads and many of the large firms
throughout the city to transfer their
merchandise. Until today it was sup
posed that the Employers association

gers were injured in a collision between
the west bound transcontinental Cana

That no passengers were killed was
due to the fact that there were several
empty passenger coaches between the

WITH VENEZUELA,

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Informal
ton respecting the situation at Ca.
racas received by the state department
from Minister Bowen in a cablegram
of Thursdays date is to the effect that
President Castro has made q PROPOSE
ton for the settlement of the asphalt
claims and other issues between the
United States and Venezuela of a ma
ture that makes it impossible of &C.
ceptance by our government and, be.
ing notified of that fact and having left
the capital for an indefinite period, he
has terminated the negotiations at
least for the time being. The effect Of
this action is to place the relations be.
tween the United States and Venezu-
ella under decided strain. However,
there is no intention on the part Of the
administration to act with undue haste
and though it Ia now almost certain
that some action of compulsory ma
ture will in the end be forced upon
our government this will not occu,
until every resource of diplomacy has
been exhausted.

OUTBREAK At ST. PETERSBURG
PREc.PITATEs STRIKE At

workingmen in the old capital Of Mos
COW are repeating the tactics of their
fellow workmen of the new capital,
marching from shop to shop and mill
to mill, demanding that the establish
ments be shut down. The whole city
is reported to be in a state of great
excitement over the news of the blood
shed here Sunday which has precipi-
tated Immediately the strike that had
been planned for Wednesday. Mos
cow has more workmen and less
troops than ST Petersburg and be-
SIDES IL Just now the heart of the Lib
eral movement and the danger of
bloodier occurrences there than have
been witnessed here are proportionate-
ly greater. A rising at Moscow is al
so more likely to have greater results
industrially and politically than that
in St. Petersburg.

bank of this city, following the suicide
of Cashier Charles H. Houseman, the

News Of Houseman's suicide caused
a panic among the depositors of the
bank and the frenzied crowd which
struggled around the doors of the
bank, seeking to withdraw deposits,
became so large that the police were
called to preserve order.
The run had been in progress less
than two hours when the directors
met and decided to close the bank
themselves.

Hberately spared Father Gopon. One
of the clergymen by his side was

Inc estimates of the number Of dead

Men and women, Infatuated to frenzy
by the loss Of loved ones, cursed the

harangued the crowds, telling them
that the emperor had failed them and

and even chopping down telegraph
poles.
Fighting meantime continued at va

charging the mob. The whole city
was in state of panic. Women were
running through the streets seeking

troops.

With darkness it was feared the mob

The movement toward the square

The emperor was not there. Instead
the people were met by thousands Of
troops, massed in solid squares.
Then the crowd began to abuse the
soldiers. Every move Of the troops
was met with Kisses and cries.
Finally the order was given to clear
the crowds away. The horse guards
charged. Shrieks of the wounded re-

ball alternately, while Mrs. Slaight

apparently trying to get the American

was unsatisfactory with a duet of bat
