most in the doorways of the leading
hotels of the city. NonuniOn men were
pelted with stones, bricks and every
other conceivable sort of missiles.
They were dragged from their wagons,
beaten, clubbed and stamped down.
The mobs that followed the wagons
on which they rode were bent on muir
der, and but for the splendid service
of the police the list of dead would
be 20 instead of one.
Strike Breakers Use Gums.
In return the nOnunion men although
hOpelessly Outnumbered N every fight,
fought desperately. and considering
their numbers did the more execution
In several instances they drew revol
vers and emptied them into the crowds
that pressed around their wagons pelt
ing them with stones and threatening
their lives. The colored drivers espec-
tally were quick with weapons.
Forty known Injured.
Large numbers of nonunion drivers
carried heavy clubs, and they swung
them with terrific effect throughout
the day AS far as can be ascertained
the list of injured numbers in the
neighborhood of 40, but it is far short
of being accurate. Many men who
were in the mObs that attacked the
wagons went down before the clubs of
the police and of the wagon guards
but they were carried away by friends
and there is no chance of learning
their names or even of guessing at
their number.
Shot Four Men.
Burt Guyles and Paul Bastian, driv-
ers for the United States Express com
pany were attacked by a crowd on the
west side while making deliveries.
Guyles used his revolver in two at
tacks made upon the wagon and
wounded four men, one of whom, AL
bert McIlvane. may die.
GuyIes and Bastain were arrested.
While holding the men under custody
an enormous crowd gathered and was
determined apparently to assassinate
the prisoners. The officers drew re
volvers and with great difficulty kept
the crowd back until the arrival of the
patrol wagon which took the prisoners
TO the police station.

MARRYING FOR MONEY.
Paterson Man Declares 1t Was Purely
a Business Contract.
LENr.


Paterson, NJ: J.sr Aug. 3.-Mrs.
Martha M. Staehli has applied to the
court here for an order to- restrain her
husband from cutting timber on her
farm near Oakland, and the complaint
reveals an unusual marriage contract.
Mrs. Staehli formerly lived in Swift
zerland, and her former husband in
herited the Oakland farm. At his
death she was too Door to come to
America and claim the property. She
told her story to Staehli, and together
they came to America and claimed the
estate, getting, besides the farm, $12,-
900 in cash. Then StaehH married the
woman. She says he spent her money
and abused her. and that he is now
trying to sell the timber on her land.
In his reply to her complaint Staehli
says their marriage was purely a bust
ness contract, and that he is entitled
to a full share in the farm.

Public Printer to Quit the Gov
eminent Service
As Result of Investigation OF
Machine Scandal.
UP TO ROOSEVELT.
Report of the Committee Ready
for President.
It Is Not Doubted That He Will
Approve 1t.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Public Printer
Palmer will retire from the government
service as result of the Lanston type
setting machine scandal, if the recon-
mendations of the Keep Investigation
commission are approved by President
Roosevelt.
Only twelve of these machines will
be purchased by the government; the
contract for seventy-two machines will
be cancelled. The investigation devel-
oped that there is no use for so many
machines of this type, and that ac-
cordingly the purchase of the number
for which contracts were made would
be waste of public money.
The reasons for the recommendation
that Mr.. Palmer be removed is that he
accepted Inequalities at the handsnof
officials of the Lanston company while
it was endeavoring to sell its machines
to the government; that he is ignorant
of the demands of the office under his
control, and that he has advocated ex-
traVagant disbursement9of funds
AS a result of this investigation there
will be general shalze-up in the office,
in which it has been found there are
many irregularities which should be
corrected.
The commission held its final meeting
and made its report, and the report will
be forwarded to the president at Oyster
Bay. 1t is not doubted that he will in
dorse the findings.
